26、 The Southern Ocean is well known for its storms, which can sink ships and cause flooding on distant islands. Now, a new study suggests the biggest waves there already the world's largest—are getting bigger, thanks to faster winds.
For the past 33 years, global satellites have been collecting data on ocean waves—and the winds that drive them. But explaining the data is difficult: different satellites can give different wind speeds.
To reduce those differences, Ian Young and Augustine’s Ribald , at the University of Melbourne in Australia, compared information from different satellites and corrected their data against an independent data set collected by a global network of buoys (浮标) floating in the ocean. When they were done, a trend stood out: since 1985, ocean wind speeds in most of the world have increased between 1 centimeter and 2 centimeters per second per year, leading to increases in wave height in many places.
In the Southern Ocean, the trend is particularly strong. For example, although wind speeds there have increased by 2 centimeters per second each year, the speed of the top 10% fastest winds has increased by 5 centimeters per second per year. And although average (平均的) wave heights there have increased by just 0.3 centimeters per year, the top 10% highest has grown by an average of 1 centimeter per year a growth of 30 centimeters since 1985, they report today in Science.
Young and Ribald have done a good job of cross-checking and double-checking from the three different types of satellite instrument, says Ole Johan at the University of Bergen in Norway. But, he adds, it might be “optimistic” to think that the data now contain no errors Confirming the ire I likely require more work, he believes.
【1】What caused the world’s largest waves in the Southern Ocean?
A.The satellites B.The storms C.The winds D.The floods
【2】Which of the following can best explain “trend” underlined in Paragraph 3?
A.deep thought B.novel method C.special goal D.general direction
【3】What can be learned from the study in the Southern Ocean?
A.Wave heights have risen by 2 centimeters since 1985.
B.Winds speeds have grown by 30 centimeters each year.
C.The top wave heights have slowly fallen since 1985.
D.The top fastest wind speeds have been on the rise.
【4】What does Ole Johan's attitude towards the new study?
A.He thinks highly of it.
B.He takes no interest in it.
C.He shows concern about it.
D.He says no to it.
27、As hundreds of thousands of people continue to die each day from this disease, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic(流行病) continues to impact almost every aspect of daily life for the global population.
The COVID-19 has devastated economies and caused great challenges to healthcare and food systems around the world. Globally, billions of people have been ordered to stay at home as a result of lockdowns. Social distancing and lockdowns have reduced diagnosis(诊断) rates of infectious diseases by reducing social contact.
However, individuals have avoided seeking help for other health problems due to lockdowns and avoidance of medical settings, leading to reduced diagnosis and treatment despite the problem still being there. Meanwhile, even in diagnosed cases, treatment for diseases and conditions such as cancer had to be put off in many cases due to the immediate threat of COVID-19 consuming health systems and their resources. Scientific research around the world has also focused on COVID-19, potentially delaying research and breakthroughs on other diseases.
Before the pandemic, around half of the world’s population did not have access to essential healthcare, and this number has been increased by the pandemic. Healthcare systems across the globe need to become more accessible and need to be prepared for future pandemic-like events in a way that will reduce the impact on the management of other diseases.
Overall, it is generally believed that no country was fully prepared to handle a pandemic, particularly one at the degree of the COVID-19 pandemic. One of the most significant lessons that can be learned from the COVID-19 pandemic is the importance of political will in its role in protecting people from pandemic diseases. In order to ensure that the world is better prepared for the next new infectious agent, public health systems must remain committed to developing adequate surveillance (监察) programmes and prompt diagnostic techniques.
【1】The underline word “devastated” in Paragraph 2 most probably means “_________”.
A.destroyed
B.resisted
C.secured
D.boosted
【2】Why people have been ordered to stay at home?
A.In order to lighten people’s mental health burden.
B.Reducing social contact can make it less likely to infect COVID-19.
C.Because the bad weather prevents people from going out.
D.Because all public transport is halted.
【3】According to the passage, what should we do to prepare for future pandemic?
A.People should learn to protect themselves from infection.
B.Health systems need to become more accessible and improve their technologies.
C.Government should take more strict prevention measures.
D.People should stay at home and reduce social contact.
【4】What is the passage mainly about?
A.How the COVID-19 infects people.
B.The measures used to prevent the spread of the COVID-19.
C.The effects of the COVID-19 and lessons learned from it.
D.The causes of the outbreak of the COVID-19.
28、 Negative thinking is one of the biggest obstacles(障碍) we face in experiencing happiness, but there's hope. Here are two strategies to help defeat your negative thinking.
【1】When you're heading into a social gathering, you begin to wonder what if I don't connect with anyone. Am I even likable? Faced with this situation, do something that lifts your mood.【2】 For example, listen to a song that makes you smile or take a moment to appreciate people in your life who love you. Positive emotions literally undo the effects of anxiety by lowering our heart rate and muscle tension.
The other is to combat(战斗). 【3】 But in reality, our minds feed us messages that range from the embellished(渲染的) truth to total lies. Imagine yourself in court. You are the prosecutor(控方律师), and your negative thought is the defendant(被告).【4】When he shouts out “You're not good enough at your job”, you need to consult the evidence you have to prove it wrong, argue back with the strongest piece of evidence you can find. Always remember your task is to get the judge to hear your side. So you can say “I am good enough because every performance review I've had has been positive. And my boss told me last week how much she enjoyed working with me. “In a nutshell, bring your best version of a tough lawyer to that courtroom. Convince the judge that the negative thought doesn't deserve attention.
Both of these strategies, to distract and combat, are skills anyone can learn and get better at with practice.【5】
A.He's guilty, but he insists that he's not guilty and sticks to his story.
B.Therefore, negative thinking is one of the biggest problems lots of us suffer from.
C.Remember, with each negative thought you defeat, you’ve successfully earned your own happiness.
D.That is, generate a positive emotion.
E.We often believe that our negative thinking is true.
F.There's simply no point focusing on the negative aspect of everything.
G.One is to distract.
29、 Travelling can be a fun way to gain life experiences, but what if you’re a student and don’t have enough money for a trip? Don’t worry. Here are some useful tips.
Save: This probably is the most important preparation for travelling. Cut expenses(花费) to fatten your wallet so you’ll have more choices about where to go and how to get there.
Plan ahead: Don’t wait until the last minute to plan your trip. Giving yourself several months to get ready can mean security and savings.
Do your homework: No matter where you go, research the places you will visit. Decide what to see.
Travel books will provide information on the cheapest hotels and restaurants
Plan sensibly. Write down how much you expect to spend on food and hotels. Stick to(坚持) your plan, or you may not have enough money to cover everything.
Travel in groups: Find someone who is interested in visiting the same places. By travelling with others you can share costs and experiences.
Work as you go: Need more money to support your trip. Look for work in places you visit.
Go off the beaten path: Tourist cities may be expensive. You may want to rethink about your trip and go to a less known area. Smaller towns can have many interesting activities(活动) and sights.
Pack necessary things: The most important things to take are not always clothes. Remember to take along medicine in case you get sick and snacks in case you cannot find a cheap restaurant.
By planning sensibly, even students can enjoy their travel. Your travel experiences will be remembered for a lifetime.
