22、

A big sandstorm hit northern China on March 15, 2021. It covered many cities with thick clouds of yellow dust (尘土).

The storm, which came from Mongolia (蒙古国), was the largest sandstorm to hit China in the past 10 years. Many flights and classes were canceled because the visibility (能见度) was lower than 500 meters.

The storm was the result of warm and dry weather in the area, together with the strong winds from Mongolia. “There has been little rainfall so far this spring and the temperature is rising. So now is a worrying time for sandstorms,” said an expert from Beijing.

In recent years, sandstorms haven’t been as common in northern China as before. The land with desertification (荒漠化) has been falling by 7,585 km2 per year in China, and the area of sandy land has been decreasing by 1,284 km2 a year. This is thanks to China’s Three-North Shelter Forest Program (TNSFP, 三北防护林工程) which started in the 1970s. Millions of trees have been planted in northern China to prevent sandstorms and protect the environment.

Besides, China has a color-graded warming system for sandstorms (as shown in the picture), with red meaning the most serious, followed by orange, yellow, blue and green. Therefore, people would have time to get prepared for the sandstorm.

【1】According to the passage, the sandstorm in March ________.

A．covered many cities with rain

B．came from Northern China

C．has been the biggest one since 2011

D．improved the visibility to 500m

【2】Paragraph 3 mainly talks about the ________ of sandstorm.

A．results

B．causes

C．history

D．areas

【3】The underlined word “decreasing” in Paragraph 4 means ________.

A．going down

B．rising up

C．taking up

D．running out

【4】If the visibility in your city is 400m, a(n) ________ warning will be given out.

A．red

B．orange

C．yellow

D．blue

【5】The passage introduces TNSFP and the warning system to show ________.

A．where the serious sandstorms come from

B．why people should protect the environment

C．how to protect ourselves during sandstorms

D．what China has done to fight against sandstorms

23、   Having a husband means an extra seven hours of housework each week for women, according to a new study. For men, getting married saves an hour of housework a week. "It's a well-known pattern(模式)," said lead researcher Frank Stafford at University of Michigan's Institute for Social Research. "Men usually work more outside the home, while women take on more of the housework."

He points out that differences among households(家庭) exist. But in general, marriage means more housework for women and less for men. "And the situation gets worse for women when they have children," Stafford said.

Overall, times are changing in the American home. In 1976, women busied themselves with 26 weekly hours of housework, compared with 17 hours in 2005. Men are taking on more housework, more than doubling their housework hours from 6 in 1976 to 13 in 2005.

Single women in their 20s and 30s did the least housework, about 12 weekly hours, while married women in their 60s and 70s did the most-about 21 hours a week.

Men showed a somewhat different pattern, with older men picking up the broom(扫帚) more often than younger men. Single men worked the hardest around the house, more than that of all other age groups of married men.

Having children increases housework even further. With more than three children, for example, wives took on more of the extra work, clocking about 28 hours a week compared with husbands'10 hours.

【1】According to the "well-known pattern" in Paragraph 1, a married man ________.

A.takes on heavier work B.does more housework

C.is the main breadwinner D.is the master of the house

【2】How many hours of housework did men do every week in the 1970s?

A.About 23. B.About 28. C.About 13. D.About 6.

【3】What kind of man is doing most housework according to the text?

A.An unmarried man. B.An older married man.

C.A younger married man. D.A married man with children.

【4】What can we conclude from Stafford's research?

A.Marriage gives men less freedom. B.Marriage has effects on job choices.

C.Housework sharing changes over time. D.Having children means doubled housework.
