21、People only contact their insurers when things go wrong and they need to make a claim. This generally means losses for the insurer. It also means stress and troubles for the customer. In order to relieve both problems, insurers increasingly offer extra services alongside their traditional policies.

Aviva, a British insurer, for instance, installs sensors on customers’ water pipes to detect very small leaks, so that these can be repaired before causing greater damage. This spares Aviva the cost of a bigger claim, and the customer the misfortune of a flooded basement.

Life insurers have so far been slower to catch on. But this is changing. Often extra services help people to live more healthily. AXA, a French insurer, gives its customers access to check-ups. Union Life, a Chinese one, guarantees customers a place in an old people's home and advises them on activities in retirement.

Last month, Haven Life, an American life-insurance agency, announced it would include a set of extra services for its customers. That makes it a pioneer on its home market as its new policy fits neatly into the global trend. Its extra services centre on health. For instance, customers also get discounts on family-health services at some clinics, and access to a genetic health test. Now more and more American life insurers have joined it. Ladder, a life-insurance startup, offers some help on financial planning through an online tool. State Farm, a large American insurer, give customers a discount on in-home sensors that monitor old people’s health.

These services are not in short of demand. A survey by Bain & Company finds that American consumers have very similar preferences to other parts of the world on the sorts of services they want from life insurers. But America is not a friendly place for innovative insurers. New policies must be approved by each of its 50 state authorities. Some states’ laws are too inflexible, and do not allow for such extra benefits. Even when an offering suits insurers and their customers, it can still take time to spread.

【1】Why do more and more insurers provide customers with extra services?

A．To help with the repair work.

B．To earn a greater reputation.

C．To prevent greater losses.

D．To make customers relaxed.

【2】Why does the writer mention “AXA” and “Union Life” in Paragraph 3?

A．To draw people’s attention to keeping healthy.

B．To urge life insurers to provide more services.

C．To explain why life insurers develop slowly.

D．To show the changes in life insurers’ services.

【3】What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about concerning American life insurance?

A．The new trend on its market.

B．The new leader of its industry.

C．The quality of its new services.

D．The future of its new policy.

【4】What is preventing life insurers’ new policies from spreading in America?

A．Consumers’ preferences.

B．Customers’ demands.

C．Some states’ rigid laws.

D．Extra services’ quality.

22、Scientists have long understood the key role that oceans play in regulating the Earth’s climate. Oceans cover 70 percent of the globe and store a thousand times more heat than the atmosphere does. What’s newer is the understanding of how this key component of our climate system responds to global warming.

A brake on global warming — for now

One of oceans’most important climate functions is absorbing heat and carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the gases that cause global warming. Acting as a heat sponge (海绵), oceans have absorbed huge amounts of heat and CO2 in the last forty years.

Fujita explains that "oceans are saving us from faster climate change — they are a big flywheel that delays rapid overheating of the Earth, putting a brake on the climate system."

"That’s the good news," he adds. "The bad news is that oceans only slow the atmospheric warming. Once oceans come to balance with a greenhouse gas warmed earth, the extreme heat will remain in the atmosphere and things will get much hotter." But where and how oceans release this accumulated (积累的) heat is uncertain. And as oceans store heat, fragile underwater ecosystems are struggling.

The most recent scientific report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) also notes with concern that oceans are acidifying because of increased absorption of atmospheric CO2, and thus causing a threat for shell-forming species. Sharp increases in carbon dioxide levels will cause further acidification of oceans.

Currents distributing heat

Another important role oceans play is that of distributor. Oceans deliver heat and life-sustaining nutrients around the globe. Just as blood vessels bring oxygen and nutrients to cells in the human body, oceans’ currents carry oxygen, nutrients and heat throughout the Earth. Oceans distribute 25 percent to 50 percent of the energy the planet receives from the sun. For example, the Gulf Stream carries heat across the Atlantic. This warm current gives northwestern Europe a milder climate than it would normally have so far north. A change to oceans’ circulation (循环) patterns could throw Europe into a colder period, even as the rest of world experiences warmer temperatures.

【1】We can infer from the passage that .

A.oceans cause global warming

B.oceans stop global warming

C.oceans release nutrients and heat

D.ocean ecosystems face more dangers

【2】From the passage we can learn that oceans’ currents .

A.produce oxygen and nutrients everywhere

B.absorb 25% to 50% of the energy from the sun

C.distribute heat and nutrients around the globe

D.change oceans’ circulation patterns

【3】Which of the following is NOT the result of oceans absorbing heat and carbon dioxide?

A.It causes further acidification.

B.It affects shell-forming species.

C.It makes the atmosphere hotter.

D.It regulates the Earth’s climate.

【4】This passage mainly talks about .

A.the roles of oceans B.global warming

C.ocean currents   D.carbon dioxide

23、Saving money is a golden rule in everyday life. And in the western countries it is especially obvious. As prices and building costs keep rising, the “do-it-yourself” (DIY) trend in the US continues to grow.

“We need furniture for our living room”, says John Rose, “and we just didn’t have enough money to buy it. So we decided to try to making a few tables and chairs.”

John got married six months ago, and like many young people these days, they are struggling to make a home at a time when the cost of living is very high. The Roses took a 2-week course for $ 280 at a night school. Now they make all their furniture and repairs around the house.

Jim Hatfield has three boys and his wife died. He has a full-time job at home as well as in a shoe-making factory. Last month, he received a car repair bill for $420. “I was deeply upset about it. Now I’ve finished a car repair course, I should be able to fix the car by myself.”

John and Jim are not unusual people. Most families in the country are doing everything they can do to save money so they can fight the high cost of living. If you want to become a DIY, you can go to DIY classes. And for those who didn’t have time to take a course, there are books that tell you how you can do things yourself.

【1】It can be inferred that many newly married people _________________.

A. find it hard to pay for what they need

B. seldom go to a department store to buy things

C. have to learn how to make their own furniture

D. must take some courses to better their life

【2】John and his wife went to evening classes to learn how to______________.

A. make furniture   B. improve the quality of life

C. make or repair things   D. save money and time

【3】What does the sentence “He has a full time job at home” mean?

A. Jim makes shoes in his home

B. Jim needs to do housework and looks after his children

C. Jim does some extra work at home

D. Jim runs a shoe-making factory at home

【4】Jim decided to become a DIY when ________.

A. he had to raise the children all by himself   B. he becomes an unusual person

C. attract government’s attention   D. show their anger

24、Are you frequently depressed by the feeling that life is leaving you behind particularly when you look over social media sites and are faced with all the exciting things your friends are up to? 【1】

FOMO, or Fear of Missing Out refers to the perception that other people’s lives are superior to our own. It appears as a deep sense of envy, and constant exposure to it can have a weakening effect on our self-esteem(自尊).

While feelings of envy and lack of confidence seem to be human nature, social media seems to have added fuel to the fire.【2】Social media, with its built-in appeal, allows us to share only the best presentations of our life, while leaving out the more boring aspects. Although this could be characterized as dishonest, it is the atmosphere social media seems to demand. So how do we avoid being trapped into our own insecurities by social media?

Consider your own social media posts.【3】Well, so have others. And what they’ve left hidden is the fact that boredom, loneliness and unpleasant chores are an unavoidable part of everyone’s life, and you’re not the only one feeling left out.

【4】You may not be a regular at fancy parties or a climber of dizzying peaks, but you have your health, a place to live and real friends who appreciate your presence in their lives.

Lean to shake it off. We are all flooded daily with photos of other people’s perfections, but really, what does it matter?【5】And even if you are more easily affected than others by social media envy, all you need to do is to look around you and acknowledge that you are doing pretty well after all.

A．If so, you are not alone.

B．Value your friends in real life.

C．Learn to appreciate the positives.

D．Why does it have such a stimulating effect?

E．They are probably no more real than the funniest reality TV show.

F．The feeling that we are left out has long-term damaging psychological consequences.

G．Have you ever chosen photos that lead others to the rosiest conclusions about your life?
