21、   Venice is suffering the worst flooding the city has experienced in 50 years. The city is “on its knees” and Venetian Mayor Luigi Brugnaro tweeted as water submerged (淹没) much of the famous historical city.

While floods are a normal part of life in Venice, they have never happened with such frequency before. Experts say that climate change is likely to blame. 【1】 The Venetian council voted against a measure to fight climate change just a few moments before their chamber (会议厅) flooded.

Flooding is just one of the many impacts from climate change that is being experienced with more frequency and globally threatens many vulnerable (脆弱的) areas and regions. There is a threat that is not often considered. 【2】 Natural and man-made heritage sites throughout the world are in danger of being damaged or destroyed by climate change.

【3】 Some will be hit by flooding, like Venice, others by extreme weather events or rising temperatures. For instance, George Town, the capital of the Malaysian state Penang faces rising sea levels, landslides and more severe typhoons, while Yellowstone ecosystem in the western United States faces melting snows, more frequent wildfires and a changing ecosystem.

Changes in the ocean will have a profound impact on many of these sites. 【4】 And rising sea levels threaten to wash away many of the world’s great archaeological sites.

Experts say that the solutions to saving these sites will be varied, but many will be very expensive. 【5】

A．Different ways can be used to save these sites.

B．Climate change will impact these sites in different ways.

C．It is the damage from climate change to the world’s heritage.

D．But putting in place protective measures has proven difficult.

E．Warming water threatens to kill much of the coral in the Great Barrier Reef.

F．Many heritage sites on land are facing the great threat posed by global warming.

G．Therefore, they suggest that countries should work together to protect heritage sites.

22、   When I was kid, I’d often come downstairs for breakfast and find my grandmother in the kitchen talking to herself, often going over what she was going to do that day. I thought it was the strangest thing. 【1】

Back then, I thought healthy people didn’t talk aloud when nobody else was around, did they? 【2】 It is a healthy, widespread behavior among children and adults. Research suggests the practice is most beneficial when it combines thought and action. Talking to yourself, when employed in the proper context, can even energize you mentally. Encouragement helps a person gain self-confidence and self-esteem, which contribute to success.

A study published in Psychology of Sport and Exercise had 72 tennis players take part in five rounds of play: one baseline assessment, three training sessions, and a final round. 【3】. Though both groups followed the same training program, only the experimental one was asked to practice self-talk. By the final assessment, the experimental group showed heightened self-confidence and reduced anxiety. The self-talkers also improved their game.

【4】 An in-depth analysis looked at the validity of the self talk strategy for improving athletic achievements. Totaling 32 sport studies and 62 effect sizes, it showed a positive, though moderate, effect size.

【5】 As Dr. Julia Harper, an occupational therapist said, “If we’re talking to ourselves negatively, research suggests that we’ll more likely guide ourselves to a negative outcome. However, when self-talk is neutral - as in a statement like ‘What do need to do?’ or positive, such as ‘I can get this done,’ then the outcome is much more effective.”

A．Researchers divided the players into two groups.

B．Participants with low self-confidence don’t like self-talk.

C．Unfortunately, human nature is ready for negative self-talk.

D．This effect only holds true if one’s self-talk remains encouraging.

E．These performance-energizing benefits aren’t just for tennis players either.

F．In fact, science has now shown that talking to yourself has a number of benefits.

G．Even though nobody else was around, hearing her would make me feel awkward.

23、   Terracotta Warriors from Xi’an, Shanxi province, are well-known worldwide for their significance in history. Behind these relics, conservator-restorers work day and night to piece fragments together and restore these ancient figures.

Lan Desheng is one of these restorers. Having majored in cultural heritage at Northwest University in Xi’an, he has restored more than 150 figures in the past 25 years. He imagines himself as a doctor from the Qin Dynasty (221—206 BC), the time when these warriors were created. “There are many different types of doctors in the world, but few could have diagnosed and treated those Qin warriors, who lived over 2,000 years ago,” said the 52-year-old restorer.

Over the years, the technology used to restore the figures has changed, but the fundamental methods remain the same. Abiding by the rule of minimum intervention, Lan and his team try to restore the relics by examining fragments and fitting them into the Terracotta Warrior figures.

The process demands great attention to detail and also enables him to get to know his “patients” better. Lan said the figures have colorful painting and sometimes even the fingerprints of the artisans who made the figures. The artisans’ names were also carved into the warriors, but these signatures might be hard to find. “If you look closely at the fragments, you can see traces of the artisans’ fingerprints and complete palm prints left after they heavily slapped the clay. There are also traces of the hairs they shed,” said Lan.

After decades of experience, Lan can already tell the differences between works of Qin Court craftsmen and those of local artisans. Without a doubt, patience is essential when restoring these figures. Sometimes it might take years for missing fragments of a figure to be found, if it can ever be recovered. “In some cases, we have been unable to locate the remaining parts of Terracotta Warriors that have been assembled for the past year or two. When this happens, there is nothing to do but stop work,” Lan said.

Despite these difficulties, Lan said this is his ideal job. He is proud to have contributed to the process of restoring these historic relics. “We employ materials used in the Qin Dynasty to restore and repair the warriors and their horses―a legacy we will pass on to the next generation,” he said.

【1】What can we know about restoring Terracotta Warriors?

A．The less intervention in restoration, the better.

B．Restorers receive the same training as doctors.

C．Restorers have to have a degree in cultural heritage.

D．The methods have greatly changed due to advanced technology.

【2】What could you find if you observe the figures of Terracotta Warriors closely?

A．Names of the warriors.

B．The figures’ palm prints.

C．Details of the figures’ hair.

D．Traces of the figure makers’ fingerprints.

【3】Why is restoring Terracotta Warriors difficult?

A．Restorers are sometimes forced to stop assembling.

B．Restorers don’t know where to find the remaining parts.

C．It may take a long time to find all of the missing parts, if ever.

D．Restorers have to work together to piece fragments together.

【4】What is the passage mainly about?

A．Why repairing the relics is important.

B．What difficulties Lan has experienced in his career.

C．What the future generation can do to restore the relics.

D．How conservator-restorers repair the figures of Terracotta Warriors.

24、How to set up a library of things

Instead of cluttering(乱推放)our homes, garages and the planet, setting up a library of things allows neighbours to borrow and share huge, pricey goods. 【1】 But instead of borrowing books, local people are borrowing drills, pasta makers and guitars for an affordable fee. Here’s how to start your own:

Talk to your neighbours

【2】 Do they feel their home is too cluttered? Do they want to do their bit for the environment and spend less money? Link into local networks and ask people to vote on a “wish list” of items they could borrow.

Find a space

Start small in someone’s garage or local market to see what items are most popular. Then find space in buildings in urban areas with high footfall such as libraries or community hubs.【3】

Why start a Library of Things?

We were living in a small house and needed some tools to put up shelves. We didn’t want to own the tools and hiring them was expensive! 【4】 Inspired by tool libraries in the US and lending libraries in Berlin, we started a small Library of Things locally and seven years later we’re running five Library of Things locations across London.

What other impact on the local area?

We’ve run very successful events led by borrowers such as mending meetups, sewing classes, DIY classes. 【5】 Borrowers have previously tested out new food businesses at the market by using our items. And for every £10 someone spends on borrowing, £8 stays locally, creating local jobs and supporting the local community spaces.

A．Find out if local people need a sharing library.

B．The Library of Things has a multiplier effect locally.

C．You’ll need some money to set up your sharing library.

D．But in rural areas, a mobile sharing library could work.

E．We were also getting annoyed about waste we were creating.

F．Speak to others who have done it and are willing to share their knowledge.

G．Affordable, convenient and environmental-friendly, sharing libraries are popping up.

25、   I was a boy of nine in 1960. I used to mow the lawn for Mrs. Long. She paid me little for the job, but _________ to give me a Christmas present.

I spent much time _________ what it would be. Many boys had baseball gloves or ice skates and I was _________ to have any of these. “It would _________ be a baseball glove,” I _________ with myself. She wouldn’t know much about baseball. So I was _________ that she would give me ice skates. I even _________ myself upon the skates.

As Christmas approached, it was with _________ that I stopped myself from reporting to Mrs. Long and demanding my present. On December 22, I _________ myself at the door of the house. Mrs. Long sat me in a chair and handed me a small box which under no circumstances could __________ a pair of skates. I was __________. When lifting it from her, I was curious about the __________ of the present. It weighed almost nothing.

“What is it?” I asked.  

“A kind of magic,” she said. Her words were enough to set my mind dancing with new __________ . There were other presents of normal dimension and weight. But Mrs. Long’s box dominated all, for it had to do with __________ .

On Christinas morning, before the sun was up, I had this box on my knees. With great __________ I opened the box to find inside ten sheets of black paper, each labeled in colorful letters, Carbon Paper Regal Premium. “What is it?” I asked. Mum took two pieces of white paper, placed between them one of the black paper, and wrote my name on the upper sheet. Then she handed me the second sheet, which her pencil had in no way touched. There was my name!

It was a miracle to my __________ mind. In that one moment, I __________ the ideas about the duplication (复制) of words and the printing and the mystery of spreading ideas. Thank Mrs. Long for her __________ to guess that a boy might profit from a present totally outside the realm (领域) of his __________ experience.
