21、The lines to enter South Gate’s South East High School and South East Middle School at 9 a.m. Monday were each about 200 students deep.

Kony Aguillon sat in the shade while her son, an eighth-grader, waited for his health check in. She had done everything right Sunday night, pre-checking the district’s Daily Pass website so that it would be smooth going the next morning. But on Monday, the system wouldn’t load. They arrived at school early, around 7:50 a.m., to check in, and an hour later, there they stood. “I imagined it was going to be crazy,” she added, but not as bad as it was.

Opening day at the nation’s second-largest school district unfolded with a mix of emotions: frustration over long waits, anxiety over health protocols and concern for how things would go for children who have been learning online for a year and a half. But for many, the sense of joy and relief at being together again eased the worries.

In the early morning at John Marshall High, lines of students waiting to enter extended two blocks. By 9 a.m., some students were still waiting, having missed part of the first class.

In anticipation of delays, Gary Garcia had already extended the first period of classes by about 18 minutes in hopes that all students could meet their teachers.

Teachers and parents also expressed optimism.

“It’s exciting,” said Nohemi Sanchez-Heredia, who teaches first grade. Henriette Jeter was at the school with her daughters, who are starting kindergarten, second and fifth grades. Even though the Delta variant (德尔塔变异株) worries her, she felt her kids needed to be back in a classroom.

The most common emotions were in the largest type: “nervous” and “excited” mixed with somewhat “stressed”, “happy”, “tired” and “scared”.

【1】Which of the following can generally best describe emotions outside the school gates?

A．Relaxed.

B．Disordered.

C．Scared.

D．Excited.

【2】What fact caused the check-in slow besides a bit too many students?

A．No preparation.

B．Too many parents.

C．Poor loading system.

D．Extension of the first period.

【3】What’s the meaning of underlined word “protocols” in paragraph 3?

A．Benefits.

B．Test reports.

C．Problems.

D．Physical strengths.

【4】Who might be a schoolmaster?

A．Gary Garcia.

B．Henriette Jeter.

C．Kony Aguillon.

D．Nohemi Sanchez-Heredia.

24、As part of a U. S. program of 30 gigawatts (十亿瓦特) of offshore wind energy by 2030, seven major offshore wind farms would be developed on the coasts, expected to produce enough electricity to power more than 10 million homes.

As part of a plan to address global warming, they could reduce about 78 million metric tons of planet-warming carbon dioxide emissions, while creating 77, 000 jobs, officials said.

In addition to using offshore wind, the government is working to increase renewable energy production on public lands, with a goal of at least 25 gigawatts of onshore renewable energy from wind and solar power by 2025.

Haaland, director of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, said officials hope to reduce potential conflicts with fishing groups and other ocean users. Commercial fishing businesses have said planned offshore wind projects off the East Coast would make it difficult to harvest valuable seafood species. Some conservation groups also fear that big turbines (涡轮) will kill thousands of birds.

Heather Zichal, a climate advisor, said the goal for offshore wind was ambitious but achievable. Wind power is an essential part of the goal to reach 100% carbon pollution-free electricity by 2035, she said.

In a related announcement, the Energy Department said it is spending $11.5 million to study risks that offshore wind development may pose to birds, bats and marine mammals, and survey changes in commercial fish and marine populations at an offshore wind site on the East Coast. “In order for Americans living in coastal areas to see the benefits of offshore wind, we must ensure that it’s done with care for the surrounding ecosystem by co-existing with fisheries and marine life — and that’s exactly what this investment will do,” Energy Secretary Jennifer said.

【1】What do the first two paragraphs mainly tell us about the program?

A．It will provide power and job chances.

B．It can boost land production of power.

C．It will do slight harm to the environment.

D．It’s intended to deal with global warming.

【2】What’s the fear of some conservation groups?

A．Some valuable ocean species will disappear.

B．Offshore energy production will be banned.

C．The existence of seabirds would be threatened.

D．Fishermen would see a big drop in their income.

【3】What did Jennifer say about the program?

A．It has caused potential danger to marine life and birds.

B．Efforts will be made to protect surrounding ocean life.

C．It will contribute direct to the goal of carbon-free ocean.

D．A lot of money has been used in related offshore research.

【4】Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A．Offshore Energy Is Promoted by Ocean Ecosystem

B．Ocean Wind Helps Cut Carbon Dioxide Emissions

C．America Pioneers to Be Free of Harmful Emissions

D．U. S. Reveals Ocean Wind Farms to Cut Emissions
