21、Climate activist Henry Emson told Euronews that when he became a father seven years ago, he was worried about his family’s effect on the environment. After doing some research, he found the best way to eliminate their carbon footprint was by planting giant sequoia trees(巨型红杉树).

Giant sequoias are ideal for capturing carbon dioxide because they continue to grow consistently for centuries, storing CO2 over time. General Sherman, the world’s largest sequoia tree, has stored an estimated 1,500 tons of CO2 in its trunk over the last 2,200 years and could live another 800 years. The average human could generate close to 1,000 tons of CO2 over their lifetime, so planting one giant sequoia could effectively reduce the carbon footprint of more than one person.

After realizing the power giant sequoias have to fight climate change, Emson devoted his life to planting thousands in the UK by creating the One Life One Tree project. Its final goal is to plant 100,000 giant sequoias in the UK by 2030, and according to The Mirror, as of March 2022, it has already planted 700. Trees are currently being planted near Abergavenny in Wales and the project is expanding to Devon, the Lake District and Scotland.

While the common assumption is that these giant trees can only be grown in Northern California, they actually do well in the UK at a time when the sequoia population is threatened back home.

According to One Tree One Life, 95% of the old-growth sequoia population has been logged over the past two centuries and what remains is under threat from climate change. “A 10 year＋ drought and temperature increase have greatly damaged the health of the trees. A secondary impact of the drought is making them increasingly susceptible(易受影响的)to insect attack and fire,” the site says.

Considering the danger that climate change is causing giant sequoias in California, Emson’s work also benefits these trees. “They’re like climate refugees(难民)—we help them with assisted migration,” he told Euronews.

【1】What does the underlined word “eliminate” in the first paragraph probably mean?

A．Measure.

B．Remove.

C．Overlook.

D．Spread.

【2】How does the text mainly show giant sequoias’ ability to store CO2?

A．By giving an example.

B．By doing an experiment.

C．By making comparisons.

D．By referring to comments.

【3】Why did Henry Emson launch the One Life One Tree project?

A．To protect the environment by planting trees.

B．To test the adaptability of giant sequoia trees.

C．To save different kinds of endangered trees.

D．To prove the value of giant sequoias to his kids.

【4】What can be learned about Henry Emson’s work?

A．It disturbs the whole ecosystem of California.

B．It indirectly turns giant sequoias into refugees.

C．It helps promote the survival of giant sequoias.

D．It assists California in recovering from drought.

22、Healthy family relationships can bring love and security to all family members, which can be one of the greatest blessings parents can give to their children. 【1】 Here are a few ways to strengthen your family bonds.

23、Science experiments don’t always go as planned. 【1】. Recently, Australian scientists learned something unexpected about magpies (喜鹊) when they tried to attach trackers to them to learn more about their habits.                                                  

【2】. They’re medium-sized black and white birds from the same bird “family” as crows and blue jays. They’re known to be quite clever. They live in groups of up to 12 birds and work together to defend the area they live in.

The researchers were eager to try a new tracker on the magpies. They hoped to learn more about how far the birds flew and what they did during a normal day. But it’s hard to find trackers that work well with small-and medium-sized birds. 【3】. The new trackers are light and can be recharged without wires while they are still on the birds.

To keep the trackers on the birds without causing flying problems, the researchers developed a special harness (系带). It was tough, so it wouldn’t come off by accident. 【4】. The researchers placed trackers on five magpies. But just ten minutes after setting up the last magpie, they noticed something unusual: an adult female magpie was helping another magpie get free from its harness. A few hours later, most of the other magpies were also freed from their harnesses. By the third day, none of the birds had trackers anymore.

The scientists were disappointed about the trackers. However, they realized that the magpies had taught them something else—【5】, even if the bird who is helping doesn’t get a reward.

A．Magpies are able and willing to help each other out

B．However, that doesn’t mean you can’t learn from them

C．Either the trackers are too heavy, or don’t last long enough

D．Magpies may have a hard time adapting to global warming

E．The birds the scientists hoped to study were Australian magpies

F．The scientists need to find a good way to track these clever birds

G．But there was just one problem-the birds didn’t like the trackers

24、   Why is poverty so difficult to overcome? Why are poorer people less likely to invest in their own learning and ability development, but more likely to be addicted to television and video games?

In the past, a poor person was normally considered to have bad character or have no ambition. Banerjee corrects such views and explains the economics behind the poor. Poor people tend to live with more worries in their lives, he said, so they need tools such as televisions, cell phones, junk food and video games to relieve worries more than others. But investment in learning often takes a long time to get rewards, while the poor are often impatient due to economic reasons, and their life in the meantime is getting more worrisome and boring.

That goes for health. Banerjee and his wife find that the poor spend the same amount of money and time, or even more on health and medical care than the middle class group, but they tend to get bad effects. The reason is that the poor often lack the essential medical and healthy knowledge and they tend to get medical treatment when the disease has worsened to a certain stage. Besides, they tend to trust the doctors who “give strong medicine”because they believe such doctors are the “good” ones. But in fact,“strong medicine”always leads to resistance to drugs and overtreatment. This kind of attitude, which emphasizes treatment rather than early prevention, has brought many poor people more economic stress and physical damage, and even has affected the education of their next generation. According to the study, children in poorer physical condition tend to spend less time in school and have lower incomes after graduation, so poverty gets “inherited”.

When it comes to finance, Banerjee's research has found that the poor often need to borrow little and short-term loans while paying extremely high interest rates. It is also because the poor tend to take higher financial risks ----they often have unstable incomes and are unable to get working capital from banks, so they rely more on these high-interest loans. And these small loans put a brake on their savings against risks.

How could the poor step into the middle class? Maybe starting a business is a way out. But for the extremely poor, it's impossible to get the capital they need to start a business. In most cases, a more practical option is getting a job in government agencies because comparatively speaking, government jobs are very stable, which give the poor the opportunities to be hired for the long term, to increase the range of their thinking and thus enabling families to move from poverty to the middle class.

Banerjee's research provides a new perspective for governments to understand poverty, so that policies can be tailored to decrease poverty and ultimately eliminate(消除) it.

【1】How do the poor deal with the issue of health?

A.They spend less money in preventing disease.

B.They focus more on the diseases than early prevention.

C.They usually think it essential to resist strong medicine.

D.They are willing to get free medical treatment from the government.

【2】From the underlined sentence, we can learn that_______.

A.poverty is produced by the poor

B.poverty is passed down by their parents

C.poverty has some bad effects on the poor

D.poverty causes people to bear more economic stress

【3】Banerjee considers it difficult to overcome poverty because________.

A.the poor have bad character or have no ambition

B.the poor prefer to invest in business rather than work

C.the government hasn’t taken proper and effective measure

D.the poor were troubled by their lives, health and finance

【4】What can we learn from the passage?

A.The poor have attached importance to education.

B.The government can’t provide the jobs for the poor.

C.All the poor need to start a business for their survival.

D.Banerjee's research is helpful for the government to rid of poverty.
