21、In winter, many of us are reaching for more clothes and turning on the heat. Besides wearing a pair of long johns, increasing our food intake can help protect us against severe cold. So what food keeps us warm?

Red meat, such as beef, lamb and pork, is great when you find yourself in cold conditions because it is a fantastic source of iron, which is crucial for circulating your blood. Iron is an important mineral to help carry oxygen throughout your body. People with low iron may notice cold hands and feet or easily become tired. Eating red meat can also supply vitamin B12, which contributes to healthy nerves and a strong me system.

Oats can keep you warm in winter. It’s great thermogenic(生热的)food and is filled with nutrients that release energy slowly throughout the day to keep your body warm. You can start your day with a hot breakfast of oats or other types of porridge. Oats are a great source of whole grains and fiber. In addition to keeping you full and warm, oats are full of other nutrients.

Hot ginger tea can make you feel warm inside on a cold day. Ginger is known to be good for health. It’s also a diaphoretic(发汗药), which means it will help your body warm from the inside. Ginger has the nature to produce heat and help blood circulation in our bodies, making it a great source of warmth.

Root vegetables like sweet potatoes need more energy to move through the digestion process which raises your body temperature. High in vitamin A, vitamin C and potassium(钾) sweet potatoes add fiber and other nutrients   to a warm winter meal. Sweet potatoes also have beta—carotene(β胡萝卜素) that is good for eye heath.

【1】How many types of food to keep people warm are mentioned in the text?

22、Would it surprise you to learn that, like animals, trees communicate with each other and pass on their wealth to the next generation?

UBC Professor Simard explains how trees are much more complex than most of us ever imagined. Although Charles Darwin thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest, Simard shows just how wrong he was. In fact, the opposite is true: trees survive through their co-operation and support, passing around necessary nutrition “depending on who needs it”.

Nitrogen（氮） and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi（真菌）networks, making sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy. This hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons（神经元）in our brains, and when one tree is destroyed, it affects all.

Simard talks about “mother trees”, usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees depend. She explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation, transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow. When humans cut down “mother trees” with no awareness of these highly complex “tree societies” or the networks on which they feed, we are reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest.

“We didn't take any notice of it.” Simard says sadly . “Dying trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying, but we never give them a chance.” If we could put across the message to the forestry industry, we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future.

【1】What would be the best title for the passage?

A. Old Trees Communicate Like Humans

B. Young Trees Are In Need Of Protection

C. Trees Are More Complex Than You Think

D. Trees Contribute To Our Society

【2】In Simard's opinion, trees _______ .

A. depend on each other

B. protect their own wealth

C. compete for survival

D. provide support for dying trees

【3】We can learn from the passage that

A. “mother trees” are usually of no use to other trees.

B. Charles Darwin had the same thought as Simard.

C. people know much about the complex “tree societies”.

D. if “mother trees” are cut down, the survival for the entire forest will be affected.

【4】The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to .

A. how trees grow old

B. how “tree societies” work

C. how forestry industry develops

D. how young trees survive

23、The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released its sixth major report on the health of the planet on Monday, demonstrating “if Pacific Ocean temperatures continue to rise, bleaching will kill the remaining corals that make up Australia’s Great Barrier Reef ”.

Bleaching is the result of higher-than-normal ocean temperatures. Warmer water causes corals to release the sea-plants that feed them and make them colorful. They turn white and sicken, often dying very quickly.

The Great Barrier Reef, which is over 2,300 kilometers long is the largest living structure on Earth. It is home to thousands of kinds of fish and other animals. Giant clams, whales, dolphins and birds are among the others that depend on the reef to live.

Humanity also profits from the reef. Popular with visitors, who bring a lot of money to the area, the reef was the center of Tony Fontes’ 40 years career. The professional diver taught the sport and led dive rips to the reef. He compared the destruction from a bleaching event to that from a forest fire. “You just realize you’ve just swum across a reef that a couple weeks ago was full of life and vibrant and now a bushfire has gone through it and the coral is dead,” he said, adding, “and the rest of the marine life will just have to move on or die off.”

IPCC panelist Mark Howden, director of the climate school at Australian National University said conditions that scientists predicted for the future “ are appearing pretty much now. ” However, he mentioned the report offered ideas that can reduce pressure on the reef and help Australia reduce its negative impact on the environment. “Australians should be concerned about all the problems discussed in the report,” he said, “but, the IPCC also wrote about solutions to prevent worst-case circumstances in the future.”

【1】What makes the Great Barrier Reef suffer from bleaching?

A．Sick reef.

B．Emergence of sea-plants.

C．Warmer water.

D．More corals.

【2】What can we learn about the Great Barrier Reef from the passage?

A．Many ocean creatures rely on the reef to live.

B．It is the largest living structure in the universe.

C．A forest fire damaged the reef a few weeks ago.

D．It’s popular with visitors because it brings them money.

【3】Why did Tony Fontes mention bushfire in paragraph 4?

A．To show his strong dislike of the bleaching.

B．To describe the gradual process of the bleaching.

C．To express the destructive effect of the bleaching.

D．To voice the similarity between bushfire and bleaching.

【4】What will probably be talked about in the following paragraph?

A．The vital importance of the reef.

B．The ways to solve the problems.

C．The problems discussed in the report.

D．The prediction of the future condition.

24、Best Ways to Make Money Online For Beginners

26、   Thirteen people were killed and two more remain missing after a bus broke through a guardrail and plunged into Yangtze River on Oct 28.

Footage from the vehicle's data recorder released shows a female passenger—identified by authorities as Liu,48—arguing with the driver surnamed Ran, at the time of the accident．

began to hit him with her cell phone, causing Ran to lose control of the vehicle. The bus crossed into the wrong lane before colliding with an oncoming vehicle and hitting the guardrail．

Netizens and media commentators have called for improved safety measures on public transport, as well as greater awareness of the rules among passengers. Although signs and audio announcements warn passengers not to distract bus drivers, particularly when the vehicle is moving, not everyone follows the rules. Before the Chongqing tragedy, similar cases had come to light, including some in which passengers had grabbed the wheel.
