21、A new study has found that water in the air, not just heat, is important in measuring global warming. The researchers say, when considering humidity and heat, the temperature increase is two times greater than earlier estimates.

The researchers also note, temperature by itself is not the best way to measure the effects of climate change and using temperature underestimates conditions in the tropical areas of the world.

The study was published on January 31 in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The researchers team show that the energy created in extreme weather, such as storms, is related to the amount of water in the air. For this reason, they decided to use a special atmospheric measurement to show the amount of heat in an area of air. It is expressed in a scientific measurement for temperature known as degrees Kelvin.

Ramanathan is one of the writers of the study. He is a climate scientist at the University of California San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography. “There are two factors of climate change: temperature and humidity. And so far, we have measured global warming just in terms of temperature,” he says. “Warm air can hold more water than cold air. For every degree Celsius that air temperature increases, it can hold seven percent more water. When the water vapor in the air becomes liquid, it releases heat or energy. That’s why when it rains, now it pours.”

Ramanathan added that water vapor is a powerful heat-trapping gas in the atmosphere that increases climate change. From 1980 to 2019, the average world surface air temperature increased by 0.79 degrees Celsius. But when they considered energy from humidity, their temperature measurement had increased by 1.48 degrees Celsius. In the tropics, the warming was as much as 4 degrees Celsius.

Wuebbles is a climate scientist at the University of Illinois. He was not part of the study. But Wuebbles said the idea makes sense because water vapor is important in extreme rainfall. He said, “Both heat and humidity are important.”

【1】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A．The combination of water and heat decreases average surface temperature.

B．The reason why it pours is that cold air can hold more water than warm air.

C．Scientists adopt temperature degrees Kelvin as a special atmospheric measurement.

D．Scientists used both temperature and humidity to measure global warming in the past.

【2】How does Ramanathan illustrate his findings in the fifth paragraph?

A．By making comparisons.

B．By taking examples.

C．By analyzing reasons.

D．By giving definitions.

【3】What is Wuebbles’ attitude to this new study?

A．Critical.

B．Objective.

C．Skeptical.

D．Appreciative.

【4】Which of the following may be the best title for the passage?

A．Extreme Weathers Are Closely Related to Air Heat Amount

B．A New Study Focuses on Global Warming Solutions

C．Humidity Is Also Important in Measuring Climate Changes

D．Two Climate Scientists Develop a Scientific Method

22、Research has shown that disrupting one's natural “morning lark” (早起鸟) or “night owl” (夜猫子) tendency can result in immoral behavior at work.

Who doesn't love a flexible work schedule? Being able to make your own hours, come in when you're ready and leave when you're done, step out to attend a child's presentation at school, have a midday appointment, or even squeeze in a quick workout or nap as a guaranteed pick-me-up — flexibility greatly improves one's quality of life.

The benefits don't stop there, however. Research has shown that having flexible work hours actually makes one a better person. How so? It's been found that disrupted sleep patterns —in the form of having to act outside of your normal inclination to be a morning “lark” or a night “owl” — can result in strange, unethical, and out-of-line behavior.

Science journalist Linda Geddes said, “If you don't get enough sleep, research suggests you are more likely to have unethical behavior, such as being mean, bullying your fellow employees or falsifying receipts. But it's not just owls: the larks tend to behave more unethically in the evening, and owls in the morning. So ideally, you want to introduce flexible working."

Employers would be wise to allow their employees to start whenever they feel ready — whether it's at the crack of dawn or at 11 a.m., and to allow breaks or pauses in the day as needed — because that would mean better productivity, performance, and behavior.

This shift is already happening, with the New York Times recently reporting that 27 percent of US employers now offer the flexibility to work outside normal business hours, up from 22 percent in 2014; and 68 percent allow telecommuting as needed (up from 54 percent in 2014). With the national unemployment rate at its lowest in 50 years, employers are having to become more competitive in what they offer workers, and flex-hours seem like a no-brainer, highly beneficial to all.

【1】What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 2?

A．Ways to improve life quality.

B．People's activities in their free time.

C．Methods to get a flexible work schedule.

D．The advantages of flexibility in work time.

【2】What does the underlined word “inclination” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

A．Judgment.

B．Tendency.

C．Reaction.

D．Choice.

【3】What is the effect to change people's sleep pattern according to Geddes?

A．They will show their nature more easily.

B．They tend to suffer from sleep problems.

C．They tend to behave immorally in their work.

D．They will get more flexibility in working time.

【4】What do the figures in the last paragraph indicate?

A．The unemployment rate is increasing.

B．Employers are getting more free time.

C．Flexible working has been creating more jobs.

D．More employers adopt a flexible work schedule.

23、Standing on the shore of a lake, I can’t help wondering about the tens or hundreds of thousands of small rocks that surround my boots. They were all created from hard surfaces, their edges softening over time.

And I wonder, can we learn from a pile of rocks?

Even the tallest mountains have worm down; none are as tall as they were 1000 years ago. And much like a rock, I’ve found my attitude has softened and my desire to better understand others has expanded with each trip around the sun.

Once I was a sharp rock covered in pointy edges. Today, after decades of the waters of life flowing quickly over me, my edges are softer and more understanding I’m less likely to judge and more interested in learning how we can exist together.

But I’m not a rock. I’m a human being filled with all the drama built into my DNA.

Two years ago, while traveling in the Pacific Northwest, I watched a restaurant owner ask several people to leave for not wearing masks. Not forceful and not rude. On the door read a sign: “Please wear a mask before entering our restaurant. We don’t like it either, but let’s all do what we can to get through this together.”

The group of young men wished to argue about the note.

I sat watching, understanding both sides. I’ve been those guys before, using my youthful edges to chip away at the world. What I lost, however, was the ability to grow from experiences by looking through the eyes of others. In learning to be more open, I’ve also found more happiness and success.

You can put more rounded rocks in a jar than those with sharp edges. The former look for ways to adjust and make room for others; the latter never give an inch to accommodate others.

Time, like the waters rolling against once sharp stones, changes us by washing away our resistance to seeing the world from another’s point of view.

I placed a rounded stone into my jacket pocket. Mother Nature is holding class again.

【1】What does the author compare the rocks to?

A．People’s abilities.

B．People’s character.

C．What nature offers us.

D．Challenges that we meet.

【2】The owner refused the young men into the restaurant because_________.

A．they argued with him

B．their behaviors were impolite

C．they were unwilling to obey his rule

D．they were wearing informal clothes

【3】The underlined phrase “chip away at” probably means________.

A．fight against

B．do harm to

C．get on well with

D．adapt to

【4】What is the main idea of the text?

A．Be brave when facing difficulties.

B．Be understanding towards others.

C．We learn from waters of life.

D．Our edges soften over time.

24、Despite the fact that parrots are well known for their long lives and complex cognition(认知), it remains unknown whether the two features have influenced each other.

“The problem has been sourcing good quality data,” said Simeon Smeele, a doctoral student at the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior(MPI-AB), and lead author of the study that tried to solve this question.

Scientists from the MPI-AB and the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology(MPI-EvA)teamed up with Species 360 to collect data from over 130,000 individual parrots sourced from over 1,000 zoos to find the average lifespan(寿命)of 217 parrot species.

The analysis revealed an astonishing diversity in life expectancy, ranging from an average of two years for the fig parrot up to an average of 30 years for the scarlet macaw.

Next, the team tried to determine whether or not parrots’ famous cognitive abilities had any influence on their lifespans. Their results support the theory that increased brain size has enabled longer lifespans. Because brain size relative to body size can be an indicator of intelligence, the findings suggested that the parrots with larger brains were able to survive for longer in the wild.

The scientists were surprised that factors such as diet, or the greater developmental time required to develop larger brains, did not lead to longer average lifespans.

In the future, the team plan to explore if sociality and cultural learning in parrots might have also contributed to long lifespans. Smeele said: “Large-brained birds might spend more time socially learning foraging(觅食)techniques that have been around for multiple generations. This increased learning period could potentially also explain the longer life spans, as it takes more time but also makes the foraging techniques more adaptive.”

【1】What did the study aim to find out about parrots?

A．The diversity in their life expectancies.

B．The factors that influence their intelligence.

C．The features that help them survive in the wild.

D．The link between their cognition and lifespan.

【2】How did the researchers carry out their study?

A．By surveying over 1,000 zoos.

B．By examining parrots’ brains.

C．By analyzing the collected data.

D．By observing parrots’ behavior.

【3】Which is a possible cause of parrots’ long lifespans?

A．Their diet.

B．Their larger brains.

C．Their body size.

D．Their brains’ development time.

【4】What is the last paragraph mainly about?

A．Supporting evidence for the research results.

B．Further research based on current findings.

C．Potential application of the research findings.

D．A further explanation of the research methods.
