Each day, volunteers will work for 4-6 hours and in the evenings, volunteers will take part in cultural activities ranging from dumpling making to Chinese language lessons.”（第3-6天：赶往山里的熊猫基地，参加一些有意义的志愿者工作！志愿者们每天工作4-6个小时。晚上，志愿者们将参加从饺子制作到汉语课程等文化活动。）以及“Some of your tasks include”部分的“Cleaning panda enclosures ”（打扫熊猫圈）可知，第六天志愿者仍然在山里的熊猫基地里，第六天可能会打扫熊猫圈。故选B项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章“Total project cost: $1200”部分的“Room: Shared hotel room”（房间:酒店共享房间）以及“What’s not included”部分的“Flights, travel health insurance, personal expenses”（机票，旅行健康保险，个人费用）可知，费用包括住宿。故选A项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Important note: Please apply for this program 1-2 months in advance.”（注意:请提前1-2个月申请。）可知，参加志愿项目的人员要提前申请。故选C项。 B “I am so sorry,” I tearfully said to my principal investigator (PI), explaining I would not be able to return to work as originally planned. Before I became a parent, I had assumed a baby would fit right into my academic plans. But now, as the end of my leave approached, I realized I couldn’t simply carry on as I always had. I was worried this decision might signal the end of my academic career — but I felt I had no other choice. Thankfully, my PI had more foresight. He told me I didn’t need to resign and that he could offer me a contract that would allow me to contribute to our project from afar. It proved to be an absolute career lifeline tailored to me. Then five years after stepping back from academia, I felt ready to re-enter more fully. Because I had been able to keep my hand in during my time away, the prospect was much less daunting than it would have been otherwise. I ended up landing a lecturer position that allowed me to slowly ease back in, focusing on teaching and scholarship with research taking a back seat. And when, 4 years on, a senior lectureship position came up in the very group I had left a decade earlier, the timing was right. With both of my children in “big school”, I was ready to really put my foot down on the career accelerator. I got the job. Now, 6 months into my new role, I am happy to be right where it all began, with involvement in so many interesting projects. But what truly made the difference for me was the offer of what I needed during that time away. I hope more institutions and PIs can come up with creative provisions (条款) for those in their workforce who don’t want to give up their careers but want-or-need to take extended periods of leave. And to those who are taking such breaks, or considering it, know that returning is possible. Above all, on both sides: Please do not discount extended leavers. We have a lot to offer — if we are given the chance. 24. What can we learn about the author from the first paragraph? A. Her path to PI began when she became a parent. B. She struck a balance between work and family. C. She had intended to stick to her academic plans. D. She chose to prioritize her career over her family. 25. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “daunting” in paragraph 3? A. Fearsome. B. Realistic. C. Regretful. D. Promising. 26. What contributed most to her success according to the author? A. Academic researches. B. Supportive work environment. C. Interest in the projects. D. Involvement in engaging projects. 27. What’s the author’s purpose of writing the passage? A. To analyse. B. To entertain. C. To report. D. To promote. 【答案】24. C 25. A 26. B 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者讲述了自己成为父母后因为无法回到原来的工作岗位而感到困惑和担忧。然而，幸运的是，他们的研究主任为他提供了一份可以远程参与项目的合同，这成为了他职业生涯的转折点。经过几年的休假，作者感到自己已经准备好重新全职工作，最终找到了一份讲师职位。凭借着之前在离开期间的经验，回归工作并没有那么困难。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Before I became a parent, I had assumed a baby would fit right into my academic plans. But now, as the end of my leave approached, I realized I couldn’t simply carry on as I always had. I was worried this decision might signal the end of my academic career—but I felt I had no other choice.(在我为人父母之前，我曾以为有个孩子正好符合我的学业计划。但现在，随着我的假期即将结束，我意识到我不能像往常一样简单地继续下去。我担心这个决定可能标志着我学术生涯的结束，但我觉得我别无选择。)”可知，作者之前认为孩子会完全适应她的学术计划，但现在她意识到不能像以前一样继续工作，因此她感到困惑和担忧即作者本来打算坚持自己的学业计划。故选C。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词前面的内容“Then five years after stepping back from academia, I felt ready to re-enter more fully. Because I had been able to keep my hand in during my time away(在退出学术界五年后，我觉得自己已经准备好更全面地重返学术界。因为在我离开的这段时间里，我一直在工作)”可推知，此处指虽然作者退出了学术界，但是一直没有让自己对学术界生疏，一直在进行工作，让自己对学术界保持着熟悉的状态，因此前景远没有以前那么让作者害怕。故划线词与A选项“Fearsome.(害怕的)”为同义词。故选A。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“But what truly made the difference for me was the offer of what I needed during that time away. I hope more institutions and PIs can come up with creative provisions（条款） for those in their workforce who don’t want to give up their careers but want-or need-to take extended periods of leave.(但真正对我产生影响的是在这段时间里我所需要的东西。我希望更多的机构和负责人能够为那些不想放弃自己的事业，但希望或需要延长休假时间的员工提供创造性的规定。)”可知，现在，6个月过去了，作者很高兴回到了一切的起点，在众多有趣的项目中参与其中，但最让其开心的是能够在那段时间离开时得到所需的帮助。因此作者认为最为重要的是支持性的工作环境。故选B。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“But what truly made the difference for me was the offer of what I needed during that time away. I hope more institutions and PIs can come up with creative provisions for those in their workforce who don’t want to give up their careers but want-or need-to take extended periods of leave. And to those who are taking such breaks, or considering it, know that returning is possible. Above all, on both sides: Please do not discount extended leavers. We have a lot to offer-if we are given the chance.(但真正对我产生影响的是在这段时间里我所需要的东西。我希望更多的机构和负责人能够为那些不想放弃自己的事业，但希望或需要延长休假时间的员工提供创造性的规定。对于那些正在休假或考虑休假的人，要知道，回来是可能的。最重要的是，双方：请不要轻视长期离职者。如果给我们机会，我们有很多东西可以提供。)”可知，从文章最后一段可以看出，作者希望通过自己的经历告诉人们，回归工作是可能的，并呼吁更多的机构和领导提供有创意的设施，不要轻易忽视那些休长期假期的人的能力和价值。因此，作者写这篇文章的目的是促进人们对于这个问题的关注和重视。故选D。 C “From wearing silly clothes to holding funny ceremonies, such seemingly bizarre rituals (仪式) can be seen everywhere, and most of them do not seem to serve any obvious purpose,” Dimitris Xygalatas writes at the beginning of his new book Rituals: How Seemingly Senseless Acts Make Life Worth Living. Then why are humans still in love with such rituals? Some of them are intended to unify the participants. The goose steps practised by the soldiers all around the world area great example. When we all perform the same actions in a predictable way, as rituals often require, it can create a sense of togetherness and cooperation, which maybe a matter of life and death in the face of danger. Many rituals originated when humans started living in ever bigger groups, which exposed them to all kinds of violence, disasters and diseases. To prevent such risks from occurring, humans created various rituals. In regions where violence was common and the threat of disaster and disease was high, societies tended to emphasize strict ritualized behaviors, such as body-washing and sexual purity. Of course, not all of them were effective because they didn’t always understand what was causing the risks they were trying to control. Most of the rituals just provide psychological comfort. Earlier this month, people around the world participated in one of humankind’s largest gathering to celebrate the New Year. The rituals included fireworks, gifts as well as some practices unique to specific cultures, such as cooking black-eyed peas and greens in the southeastern United States, or eating a grape with each midnight clock strike in Spain. In the face of uncertainty, such rituals give the participants some kind of control, which helps boost confidence and reduce anxiety. However, the variety of rituals can also separate people, particularly when the valued practices of one culture strike another as strange and can not be clearly explained. “So here’s the surprising lesson we have to learn from such seemingly senseless rituals: Do in Rome as the Romans do since working isn’t the real point,” concludes Dimitris Xygalatas. 28. What does the underlined word “bizarre” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Difficult. B. Strange. C. Wonderful. D. Effective. 29. Which ritual just provides psychological comfort? A. Stressing pure sexual relationship. B. Practising goose steps in the army. C. Eating grapes on New Year’s Eve. D. Washing hands before religious rituals. 30. What is Dimitris Xygalatas’ advice concerning the rituals? A. Respecting them. B. Just following the effective ones. C. Reducing the variety. D. Introducing better replacements. 31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To argue against Dimitris Xygalatas. B. To review a recently published book. C. To show the side effects of some rituals. D. To explain the origins and impacts of rituals. 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. A 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要剖析了各种仪式背后的社会、宗教及心理基础与影响。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词前“From wearing silly clothes to holding funny ceremonies(从穿傻乎乎的衣服到举行滑稽的仪式)”可推断，划线词所在句子表示“从穿傻乎乎的衣服到举行有趣的仪式，这种看似奇怪的仪式随处可见”，划线词bizarre的意思是“奇怪的”，和Strange意思相近。故选B。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“Most of the rituals just provide psychological comfort. Earlier this month, people around the world participated in one of humankind’s largest gathering to celebrate the New Year. The rituals included fireworks, gifts as well as some practices unique to specific cultures, such as cooking black-eyed peas and greens in the southeastern United States, or eating a grape with each midnight clock strike in Spain.(大多数仪式只是提供心理安慰。本月早些时候，世界各地的人们参加了人类最大的庆祝新年的聚会之一。这些仪式包括烟花、礼物以及一些特定文化特有的习俗，比如在美国东南部煮黑眼豌豆和绿色蔬菜，或者在西班牙每次午夜钟声敲响时吃一颗葡萄。)”可知在新年前夜吃葡萄只是提供心理安慰。故选C。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“‘Do in Rome as the Romans do since working isn’t the real point,” concludes Dimitris Xygalatas.(“入乡随俗，因为工作并不是真正的意义，”Dimitris Xygalatas总结道。)”可知， Dimitris Xygalatas建议大家入乡随俗，尊重不同文化中的仪式。故选A。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Then why are humans still in love with such rituals?(那么为什么人类仍然热爱这样的仪式呢？)”及后面的细节可知，作者意在剖析各种仪式背后的社会、宗教及心理基础与影响，因此本文的目的是解释仪式的起源和影响。故选D。 D Rapid deforestation (毁林) of the Amazon rainforest could influence the temperature and precipitation (降水，降水量) over the Tibetan plateau 15, 000 kilometers away. Saini Yang at Beijing Normal University in China and her colleagues analyzed global climatological data from 1979 to 2019 to identify relations in temperature and precipitation between the Amazon rainforest and other areas. Such links are called “teleconnection1s”. They focused on the Amazon rainforest in particular because of its significance as a major carbon sink and as a climatic “tipping point” (爆发点) that could see forest turn to savannah (稀树草原) beyond a certain threshold (阈，界) of warming and human-driven deforestation. The researchers found that since 1979, warm temperatures in the Amazon rainforest were related to warm temperatures over the Tibetan plateau and the West Antarctic ice sheet; more precipitation in the Amazon rainforest was associated with less precipitation in those regions. By analyzing changing temperatures in the regions between the Amazon rainforest and those distant areas, they were also able to trace the path through which energy or materials such as black carbon released in forest fires might spread through the atmosphere. Their analysis showed the route remained consistent under different future warming scenarios. The collapse of the West Antarctic ice sheet is a known tipping point. Melting snow on the Tibetan plateau is not, but the region is warming more rapidly than much of the rest of the globe, and changes to snow and ice there could have consequences for ecosystems and the billions of people that rely on its snowmelt for water, says Yang. Victor Brovkin at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology in Germany says the teleconnections are an interesting find, but is skeptical that variability in the Amazon rainforest causes the changes elsewhere. He says the Amazon rainforest is too small an area to overcome the influence of the tropical oceans and the researchers don’t present a physical mechanism to explain any influence. If the Amazon rainforest does have an influence on these regions, however, it could mean there is à higher risk that the Amazon rainforest tipping point might set others off, says Jonathan Donges-at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany. “It adds an additional potential domino (多米诺骨牌) that can fall. ” 32. Why was the Amazon rainforest the focus for Saini Yang’s research? A. Because it played a role as a main carbon sink. B. Because it was the most important carbon sink. C. Because it was very likely to turn to savannah. D. Because it was at a high risk of becoming a climatic “tipping point”. 33. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The benefits of the research. B. The findings of the research. C. The means of analyzing the data. D. The results of the Amazon rainforest being deforested. 34. Which of the following points may Saini Yang agree with? A. The temperature of the Tibetan plateau changes the fastest. B. The variability in the Amazon rainforest may not lead to changes elsewhere. C. The more the Amazon rainforest rains, the less rainfall the Tibetan plateau may have. D. The consequences of the collapse of the West Antarctic ice sheet are little-known. 35. What can we learn about the Amazon rainforest from the last two paragraphs? A. Teleconnections have kept the researchers interested for a long time. B. The Amazon rainforest tipping point is likely to set off those of other areas. C. The findings of the research on the Amazon rainforest are controversial. D. The Amazon rainforest is large enough to remove the influence of the tropical oceans. 【答案】32. A 33. B 34. C 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了中国北京师范大学杨赛霓教授及其同事进行的一项研究，该研究通过对1979年到2019年间的全球气象数据进行分析，目的在于确认亚马孙雨林地区和其他地区是否在气温和降雨方面存在相互影响的关系，但也有其他研究人员提出不同的观点。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“They focused on the Amazon rainforest in particular because of its significance as a major carbon sink and as a climatic “tipping point” (爆发点) that could see forest turn to savannah (稀树草原) beyond a certain threshold (阈，界) of warming and human-driven deforestation. (他们特别关注亚马逊雨林，因为它是一个重要的碳汇，也是一个气候“爆发点”，超过一定的变暖和人为砍伐森林的阈值，森林就会变成大草原。)”可知，因为亚马逊雨扮演了主要碳汇的角色，所以杨赛霓教授的研究的焦点是亚马逊雨林，故选A。 【33题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“The researchers found that since 1979, warm temperatures in the Amazon rainforest were related to warm temperatures over the Tibetan plateau and the West Antarctic ice sheet; more precipitation in the Amazon rainforest was associated with less precipitation in those regions. By analyzing changing temperatures in the regions between the Amazon rainforest and those distant areas, they were also able to trace the path through which energy or materials such as black carbon released in forest fires might spread through the atmosphere. Their analysis showed the route remained consistent under different future warming scenarios.(研究人员发现，自1979年以来，亚马逊雨林的温暖温度与青藏高原和南极西部冰盖的温暖温度有关；亚马逊雨林降水越多，这些地区降水越少。通过分析亚马逊雨林和这些遥远地区之间的温度变化，他们还能够追踪森林火灾释放的能量或物质(如黑碳)可能通过大气传播的路径。他们的分析表明，在不同的未来变暖情景下，这一路线保持一致。)”可知，第三段主要谈论了研究结果。故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The researchers found that since 1979, warm temperatures in the Amazon rainforest were related to warm temperatures over the Tibetan plateau and the West Antarctic ice sheet; more precipitation in the Amazon rainforest was associated with less precipitation in those regions. (研究人员发现，自1979年以来，亚马逊雨林的温暖温度与青藏高原和南极西部冰盖的温暖温度有关；亚马逊雨林降水越多，这些地区降水越少。)” 可知，Saini Yang会同意亚马逊雨林降雨越多，青藏高原的降雨量就越少的观点，故选C。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Victor Brovkin at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology in Germany says the teleconnections are an interesting find, but is skeptical that variability in the Amazon rainforest causes the changes elsewhere. (德国马克斯·普朗克气象研究所的维克多·布罗夫金说，这种远程关联是一个有趣的发现，但他怀疑亚马逊雨林的变化会导致其他地方的变化。)”和根据最后一段“If the Amazon rainforest does have an influence on these regions, however, it could mean there is à higher risk that the Amazon rainforest tipping point might set others off, says Jonathan Donges-at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany. “It adds an additional potential domino (多米诺骨牌) that can fall. ” (然而，德国波茨坦气候影响研究所的乔纳森·东斯说，如果亚马逊雨林确实对这些地区有影响，这可能意味着亚马逊雨林的临界点可能引发其他地区爆发的风险更高。“这又增加了一张可能倒下的多米诺骨牌。”)”可知，亚马孙雨林发生质的颠覆性变化有一个前提条件，那就是它确实对这些地区有影响，而对于这一点，科学家仍然有争议。故选C。 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 As high school students, we must spend the vast majority of our time in class and reading books. ___36___.

It was the beginning of the Second World War and her family needed to escape fast. She quickly packed a suitcase with a few pieces of clothing, her diary, and-her most prized possession - a beautiful silk scarf. Lena and her best friend, Monika, had persuaded their parents to buy them matching scarves, which they each wore tied around their neck as a symbol of their friendship. Lena had no idea that when she left for America that night, she would never return. Her family settled on the sunny west coast in California. Lena kept that special silk scarf for many years. One day she decided to give it to her granddaughter, Eliza, to wear to her first job interview for good luck. Lena was afraid that Eliza would lose the scarf, but her granddaughter reassured her, “Don’t worry, Grandma nothing’s going to happen to your scarf. You’ll see, It is going to bring both of us luck today.” With that, Eliza kissed her grandmother on the cheek and left. That afternoon, Eliza left the interview feeling confident that she had got the job-She decided to celebrate by going to a restaurant. As she sat at her table, she felt someone staring at her. Sitting next to her was an elderly woman who could not take her eyes off her. “I’m sorry, do I know you?” Eliza asked. “I’m sorry, dear, but you remind me of someone I once knew,” the old woman replied in an accented voice. “My best friend looked like you and used to wear a scarf just like the one you’re wearing around your neck.” Eliza felt goose bumps go up her arms. She had heard stories of her grandmother’s best friend and knew the significance of the scarf. Could this be Monika, her grandmother’s childhood friend? 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph I: Eliza introduced herself and waited to hear the name of the other woman. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: They walked the short distance to Lena’s home and rang the doorbell. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Eliza introduced herself and waited to hear the name of the other woman. “My name’s Monika, dear. ” “I’m originally from Hungary, but my family had to leave and I’ve been living here ever since.” Eliza could not believe it, stories of her grandmother’s best friend floating into her mind. Assuming that the old woman must be her grandmother’s best friend, she said, “Monika, would you mind coming with me right now? I need to show you somebody.” The old woman agreed. On the way, Monika felt her heart was thumping with excitement. They walked the short distance to Lena’s home and rang the doorbell. Arriving at Lena’s home, Monika eagerly rang the door bell. The moment Lena opened the door, she was rooted to the ground due to the amazement at seeing her childhood friend standing in front of her. Although their faces showed signs of age, the two best friends recognized each other immediately. Both of them were in tears, hugging each other tightly. Time seemed to cease to witness the great moment. The two of them talked for a long time afterwards, reminiscing about their past events. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述在二战期间，Lena和她的家人们逃到了美国加州，跟匈牙利的一切都断了联系，包括她的好朋友Monika。在她们分别之前，约定一起买了象征她们友谊的围巾。几十年后，Lena的孙女Eliza从大学毕业，并要去面试工作，Lena就把围巾给了她，希望给孙女带来好运，Eliza去餐馆庆祝自己可能得到了那份工作，旁边的一位老妇人告诉Eliza她长得像自己的故友，也戴着一条一样的围巾，Eliza猜测那个老妇人可能是自己奶奶的故友。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Eliza做了自我介绍，等着听另一个女人的名字。”可知，第一段可描写莫妮卡介绍自己，Eliza确认莫妮卡是奶奶的故友，Eliza邀请莫妮卡去家里。 ②由第二段首句内容“她们走了一小段路来到Lena家，按响了门铃。”可知，第二段可描写两位故友认出彼此以及她们的反应。 2.续写线索：莫妮卡介绍自己——Eliza想起奶奶的故事——确认莫妮卡是奶奶的故友——邀请莫妮卡回家——相认——泪流满面——交谈 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①在脑海浮现：float into one’s mind/cross one’s mind ②认为：assume/deem ③认出：recognize/identify 情绪类 ①兴奋：excitement/thrill ②惊讶：amazement/astonishment 【点睛】[高分句型1] Assuming that the old woman must be her grandmother’s best friend, she said, “Monika, would you mind coming with me right now?

What is required of applicants? A. Being fluent in both English and Chinese. B. Having experience of working with animals. C. Applying for the program in advance. D. Being at least 18 years old. B “I am so sorry,” I tearfully said to my principal investigator (PI), explaining I would not be able to return to work as originally planned. Before I became a parent, I had assumed a baby would fit right into my academic plans. But now, as the end of my leave approached, I realized I couldn’t simply carry on as I always had. I was worried this decision might signal the end of my academic career — but I felt I had no other choice. Thankfully, my PI had more foresight. He told me I didn’t need to resign and that he could offer me a contract that would allow me to contribute to our project from afar. It proved to be an absolute career lifeline tailored to me. Then five years after stepping back from academia, I felt ready to re-enter more fully. Because I had been able to keep my hand in during my time away, the prospect was much less daunting than it would have been otherwise. I ended up landing a lecturer position that allowed me to slowly ease back in, focusing on teaching and scholarship with research taking a back seat. And when, 4 years on, a senior lectureship position came up in the very group I had left a decade earlier, the timing was right. With both of my children in “big school”, I was ready to really put my foot down on the career accelerator. I got the job. Now, 6 months into my new role, I am happy to be right where it all began, with involvement in so many interesting projects. But what truly made the difference for me was the offer of what I needed during that time away. I hope more institutions and PIs can come up with creative provisions (条款) for those in their workforce who don’t want to give up their careers but want-or-need to take extended periods of leave. And to those who are taking such breaks, or considering it, know that returning is possible. Above all, on both sides: Please do not discount extended leavers. We have a lot to offer — if we are given the chance. 24. What can we learn about the author from the first paragraph? A. Her path to PI began when she became a parent. B. She struck a balance between work and family. C. She had intended to stick to her academic plans. D. She chose to prioritize her career over her family. 25. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “daunting” in paragraph 3? A. Fearsome. B. Realistic. C. Regretful. D. Promising. 26. What contributed most to her success according to the author? A. Academic researches. B. Supportive work environment. C. Interest in the projects. D. Involvement in engaging projects. 27. What’s the author’s purpose of writing the passage? A. To analyse. B. To entertain. C. To report. D. To promote. C “From wearing silly clothes to holding funny ceremonies, such seemingly bizarre rituals (仪式) can be seen everywhere, and most of them do not seem to serve any obvious purpose,” Dimitris Xygalatas writes at the beginning of his new book Rituals: How Seemingly Senseless Acts Make Life Worth Living. Then why are humans still in love with such rituals? Some of them are intended to unify the participants. The goose steps practised by the soldiers all around the world area great example. When we all perform the same actions in a predictable way, as rituals often require, it can create a sense of togetherness and cooperation, which maybe a matter of life and death in the face of danger. Many rituals originated when humans started living in ever bigger groups, which exposed them to all kinds of violence, disasters and diseases. To prevent such risks from occurring, humans created various rituals. In regions where violence was common and the threat of disaster and disease was high, societies tended to emphasize strict ritualized behaviors, such as body-washing and sexual purity. Of course, not all of them were effective because they didn’t always understand what was causing the risks they were trying to control. Most of the rituals just provide psychological comfort. Earlier this month, people around the world participated in one of humankind’s largest gathering to celebrate the New Year. The rituals included fireworks, gifts as well as some practices unique to specific cultures, such as cooking black-eyed peas and greens in the southeastern United States, or eating a grape with each midnight clock strike in Spain. In the face of uncertainty, such rituals give the participants some kind of control, which helps boost confidence and reduce anxiety. However, the variety of rituals can also separate people, particularly when the valued practices of one culture strike another as strange and can not be clearly explained. “So here’s the surprising lesson we have to learn from such seemingly senseless rituals: Do in Rome as the Romans do since working isn’t the real point,” concludes Dimitris Xygalatas. 28. What does the underlined word “bizarre” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Difficult. B. Strange. C. Wonderful. D. Effective. 29. Which ritual just provides psychological comfort? A. Stressing pure sexual relationship. B. Practising goose steps in the army. C. Eating grapes on New Year’s Eve. D. Washing hands before religious rituals. 30. What is Dimitris Xygalatas’ advice concerning the rituals? A. Respecting them. B. Just following the effective ones. C. Reducing the variety. D. Introducing better replacements. 31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To argue against Dimitris Xygalatas. B. To review a recently published book. C. To show the side effects of some rituals. D. To explain the origins and impacts of rituals. D Rapid deforestation (毁林) of the Amazon rainforest could influence the temperature and precipitation (降水，降水量) over the Tibetan plateau 15, 000 kilometers away. Saini Yang at Beijing Normal University in China and her colleagues analyzed global climatological data from 1979 to 2019 to identify relations in temperature and precipitation between the Amazon rainforest and other areas. Such links are called “teleconnection1s”. They focused on the Amazon rainforest in particular because of its significance as a major carbon sink and as a climatic “tipping point” (爆发点) that could see forest turn to savannah (稀树草原) beyond a certain threshold (阈，界) of warming and human-driven deforestation. The researchers found that since 1979, warm temperatures in the Amazon rainforest were related to warm temperatures over the Tibetan plateau and the West Antarctic ice sheet; more precipitation in the Amazon rainforest was associated with less precipitation in those regions. By analyzing changing temperatures in the regions between the Amazon rainforest and those distant areas, they were also able to trace the path through which energy or materials such as black carbon released in forest fires might spread through the atmosphere. Their analysis showed the route remained consistent under different future warming scenarios. The collapse of the West Antarctic ice sheet is a known tipping point. Melting snow on the Tibetan plateau is not, but the region is warming more rapidly than much of the rest of the globe, and changes to snow and ice there could have consequences for ecosystems and the billions of people that rely on its snowmelt for water, says Yang. Victor Brovkin at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology in Germany says the teleconnections are an interesting find, but is skeptical that variability in the Amazon rainforest causes the changes elsewhere. He says the Amazon rainforest is too small an area to overcome the influence of the tropical oceans and the researchers don’t present a physical mechanism to explain any influence. If the Amazon rainforest does have an influence on these regions, however, it could mean there is à higher risk that the Amazon rainforest tipping point might set others off, says Jonathan Donges-at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany. “It adds an additional potential domino (多米诺骨牌) that can fall. ” 32. Why was the Amazon rainforest the focus for Saini Yang’s research? A. Because it played a role as a main carbon sink. B. Because it was the most important carbon sink. C. Because it was very likely to turn to savannah. D. Because it was at a high risk of becoming a climatic “tipping point”. 33. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The benefits of the research. B. The findings of the research. C. The means of analyzing the data. D. The results of the Amazon rainforest being deforested. 34. Which of the following points may Saini Yang agree with? A. The temperature of the Tibetan plateau changes the fastest. B. The variability in the Amazon rainforest may not lead to changes elsewhere. C. The more the Amazon rainforest rains, the less rainfall the Tibetan plateau may have. D. The consequences of the collapse of the West Antarctic ice sheet are little-known. 35. What can we learn about the Amazon rainforest from the last two paragraphs? A. Teleconnections have kept the researchers interested for a long time. B. The Amazon rainforest tipping point is likely to set off those of other areas. C. The findings of the research on the Amazon rainforest are controversial. D. The Amazon rainforest is large enough to remove the influence of the tropical oceans. 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 As high school students, we must spend the vast majority of our time in class and reading books. ___36___.
