A lot of these films have fallen flat on their face, because a lot of times their sole purpose is to showcase pretty special effects and not much else. Don’t Look Up (2021) Disaster: Asteroid (小行星) impact Normally, when disaster movies are made they tend to focus more on the action side of things or on the tragedy (悲剧) of many lives being lost. Don’t look Up this movie is a comedy at heart, and turns a serious, potentially bad situation into something truly funny. Only the Brave (2017) Disaster: Wildfire This one is specifically about a team of 20 firefighters who risked their own lives to fight the very real 2013 Yarnell Hill Wildfire. 19 of these 20 did not come home. This movie shows how firefighters are somewhat underappreciated members of society that deserve more credit, especially with the danger they face. Deep Impact (1998) Disaster: Asteroid impact It is a movie that didn’t get very good reviews when it first came out, but it is a lot easier to appreciate now. There aren’t a lot of asteroid disaster movies out there that have as many enjoyable moments as this one does. Plus, it has Morgan Freeman in it, who is always a welcome addition. The Impossible (2012) Disaster: Tsunami (海啸) The Impossible is based on a Spanish family experience surviving the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, which reportedly claimed over 250,000 lives in 14 different countries. That’s right: this movie is based on true events. 21. What is special about Don’t look Up? A. It tells terrible scenes. B. It shows survival methods. C. Morgan Freeman is in it. D. Its plot is full of humor. 22. What moves us most in Only the Brave? A. People’s quick reaction to the fire. B. Firefighters’ spirit of devotion. C. People’s gratitude to firefighters. D. The enjoyable moments. 23. Which movie describes the terrible scene in the ocean? A. Don’t Look Up. B. Only the Brave. C. The Impossible. D. Deep Impact. 【答案】21. D 22. B 23. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四部以自然灾难为主题的电影。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据Don’t Look Up部分的“Don’t look Up this movie is a comedy at heart, and turns a serious, potentially bad situation into something truly funny. (《不要抬头》这部电影本质上是一部喜剧，它把一个严重的、潜在的糟糕情况变成了真正有趣的事情)”可知，电影《不要抬头》的特别之处在于它的情节充满了幽默。故选D项。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据Only the Brave部分的“This one is specifically about a team of 20 firefighters who risked their own lives to fight the very real 2013 Yarnell Hill Wildfire. 19 of these 20 did not come home. (这部电影讲述的是一个由20名消防员组成的团队，他们冒着生命危险与2013年真实发生的亚内尔山野火作斗争。这20人中有19人没有回家)”可知，电影《勇往直前》呈现了消防员为了救火的奉献精神，这最能打动我们。故选B项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Impossible部分的“The Impossible is based on a Spanish family experience surviving the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, which reportedly claimed over 250,000 lives in 14 different countries. (《海啸奇迹》是根据一个西班牙家庭在2004年印度洋海啸中幸存下来的经历改编的，据报道，这场海啸在14个不同的国家夺走了25万人的生命)”可知，电影《海啸奇迹》描述了海洋中可怕的场景。故选C项。 B I love learning foreign languages. In fact, I love it so much that I like to learn a new language every two years. I am currently working on my eighth one. When people find that out about me, they always ask, “What's your secret?” They want to know why they spend years learning even one language, never achieving fluency. They also want to know the secret of polyglots (通晓数种语言的人). And that makes me wonder, too. How do other polyglots do it? What do we have in common? I decided to meet other people like me and find that out. I met Benny from Ireland, who told me that his method is to start speaking from day one. He learns a few phrases from a travel phrasebook and then goes to meet native speakers and starts having conversations with them right away. He doesn't mind even if he makes 200 mistakes a day, because that's how he learns, based on the feedback (反馈). I also met polyglots who always start by imitating the sounds of the language, others who always learn the 500 most frequent words, and yet others who always start by reading about the grammar. If I asked a hundred different polyglots, I would hear a hundred different approaches to learning languages. Everybody seems to have a unique method to learn a language, and yet we all achieve the same result of speaking several languages fluently. And as I was listening to these polyglots telling me about their methods, I suddenly realized that the one thing we all have in common is that we have simply found our own ways to enjoy the language learning process. We are no geniuses and we have no shortcuts to learning languages. We simply found ways to enjoy the process, to turn language learning from a boring school subject into a pleasant activity which we don't mind doing every day. 24. What can we know about the author from the first two paragraphs? A. She is fluent in several languages. B. She is more talented than other polyglots. C. She often uses eight languages in her daily work. D She devotes herself to teaching foreign languages. 25. How does Benny learn foreign languages? A. By practicing grammar rules. B. By memorizing common words. C. By talking with native speakers. D. By imitating the sounds of languages. 26. What do these polyglots have in common? A. They achieve success in schools. B. They have great talent for language. C. They are not afraid of making mistakes. D. They find joy from the learning process. 27. What is the best title for the text? A. The Secrets of Learning a New Language B. Different Approaches to Learning English C. Why Do Humans Speak So Many Languages? D. How Should We Start Learning English at School? 【答案】24. A 25. C 26. D 27. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者通过与一些通晓数种语言的人交流语言学习方法，从而发现学习一门新语言的秘诀就是找到学习这门语言的乐趣并享受其中。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“I love learning foreign languages. In fact, I love it so much that I like to learn a new language every two years. I am currently working on my eighth one. (我喜欢学习外语。事实上，我非常喜欢它，我喜欢每两年学一门新语言。我现在正在学习我的第八个。)”以及第二段中“And that makes me wonder, too. How do other polyglots do it? What do we have in common? I decided to meet other people like me and find that out. (这也让我很好奇。其他通晓多种语言的人是怎么做到的呢？我们有什么共同点？我决定去认识和我一样的人，找出答案。)”可知，从前两段我们可以知道作者精通几种语言。故选A项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“I met Benny from Ireland, who told me that his method is to start speaking from day one. He learns a few phrases from a travel phrasebook and then goes to meet native speakers and starts having conversations with them right away. He doesn't mind even if he makes 200 mistakes a day, because that's how he learns, based on the feedback (反馈). (我遇到了来自爱尔兰的本尼，他告诉我他的方法是从第一天开始说话。他从旅行常用语手册中学习一些短语，然后去见以英语为母语的人，并立即开始与他们交谈。即使一天犯200个错误，他也不介意，因为这就是他从反馈中学习的方式。)”可知，本尼是与以英语为母语的人交谈来学习外语的。故选C项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“And as I was listening to these polyglots telling me about their methods, I suddenly realized that the one thing we all have in common is that we have simply found our own ways to enjoy the language learning process. (当我听这些通晓多种语言的人告诉我他们的学习方法时，我突然意识到，我们都有一个共同点，那就是我们都找到了自己的方式来享受语言学习的过程。)”可推知，这些通晓多种语言的人的共同之处是他们从学习过程中找到乐趣。故选D项。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及最后一段中“We are no geniuses and we have no shortcuts to learning languages. We simply found ways to enjoy the process, to turn language learning from a boring school subject into a pleasant activity which we don't mind doing every day. (我们不是天才，学习语言也没有捷径。我们只是找到了享受这个过程的方法，把语言学习从一门无聊的学校课程变成一种我们不介意每天都做的愉快的活动。)”可知，本文主要介绍了作者通过与一些通晓数种语言的人交流语言学习方法，从而发现学习一门新语言的秘诀就是找到学习这门语言的乐趣并享受其中。因此这篇文章最好的标题是“学习一门新语言的秘诀”。故选A项。 C Was it probable that Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai and Western hero King Arthur meet and fight against each other? Yes. In a game called King of Glory, created by Chinese company Tencent, King of Glory has been one of the most popular MOBA games in China since 2017. About one in every seven Chinese people plays the game, and 55 million of them play it every day. The game is easy for beginners. Social media like QQ and WeChat have also helped the game’s community grow. New players can be invited to play the game by their WeChat contacts, with some seeing it as a good way to keep in touch with old friends and make new ones. The game has more than 60 characters to unlock and play as you progress, each with their own special style and abilities. The characters cover different times and countries. Some are real historical characters, like Li Bai. Some are not. Players use them to fight against each other or team up to fight. The winners can reach higher ranks. However, some people think King of Glory gives the students incorrect information about events and people in history. For example, the poet Li Bai is described as a killer; Jing Ke, the man who tried to kill the first emperor of China, is a girl in the game. But more people worry about children playing the game too much and spending too much money on it. Most of the players are below the age of 19. It’s reported that a l7-year-old boy had a stroke (中风) after playing the game for 40 hours. To change the situation, Tencent added a time limit feature to the game to prevent kids from playing too much. From July 4, 2017, children under 12 years old can play the game for only one hour a day, while users between 12 and 18 get two hours. Those who try to play beyond the time limit will be locked out of the game. 28. What can we learn about King of Glory? A. It is the most popular online game in the world. B.

It’s popular around the world. D. Some people think it’s a good way to make friends. 【答案】28. D 29. B 30. C 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国腾讯公司开发的一款名为王者荣耀的游戏；介绍了这款游戏的受欢迎程度、人物角色和一些人对此款游戏的争议等。 【28题详解】 细节理解题，根据第三段“The game has more than 60 characters to unlock and play as you progress, each with their own special style and abilities. The characters cover different times and countries. Some are real historical characters, like Li Bai. Some are not. Players use them to fight against each other or team up to fight.(游戏中有60多个角色可以解锁，每个角色都有自己的特殊风格和能力。这些人物来自不同的时代和国家。有些是真实的历史人物，比如李白。有些人不是这样。玩家可以使用它们相互对抗或组队战斗)”可知，在王者荣耀游戏中，玩家使用游戏中的人物互相对抗或组队战斗。故选D。 【29题详解】 主旨大意题，根据第四段首句“However, some people think King of Glory gives the students incorrect information about events and people in history.(然而，一些人认为王者荣耀给学生关于历史事件和人物的错误信息)”可知，本段主要讲述有些人认为王者荣耀有很多坏处。故选B。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段第一句“To change the situation, Tencent added a time limit feature to the game to prevent kids from playing too much.(为了改变这种情况，腾讯在游戏中加入了时间限制功能，以防止孩子们玩得太多)”可知，在游戏中添加时间限制功能是为了防止过度上瘾。故选C。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段第二句“In a game called King of Glory, created by Chinese company Tencent, King of Glory has been one of the most popular MOBA games in China since 2017.(在腾讯公司开发的一款名为王者荣耀的游戏中，王者荣耀自2017年以来一直是中国最受欢迎的MOBA游戏之一)”可知A项和B项内容正确，可排除。根据第二段最后一句“with some seeing it as a good way to keep in touch with old friends and make new ones.(有些人认为这是与老朋友保持联系和结交新朋友的好方法)”可排除D项。故选C。 D Turning red-hot lava from an active volcano into electricity would be dangerous and unreliable. But many countries, including the U.S. have found ways to use volcanic heat to make electricity. Geothermal energy (地热能) is generated by natural processes deep within the Earth, and in volcanically active regions, the heat is much more intense, sometimes melting rock to form magma (熔岩). To make use of this energy, engineers identify areas where magma is near the surface and drill deep wells down to the heated rocks and water. These wells bring steam to the surface, which is directed into power plant to generate electricity. After it produces electricity, the steam cools and condenses back into hot water. The water may be used to convert a different liquid with a much lower boiling point, such as butane (丁烷), to drive a second power generation. Then, it is pumped back underground to be reheated. The Earth constantly produces heat, so geothermal energy is a renewable resource. Geothermal power plants produce much less pollution, waste and greenhouse gas emissions that warm Earth’s climate than burning coal, gas, oil, or nuclear energy, Geothermal energy sources can last for decades or even longer. Unlike other renewable sources, such as solar and wind power, which depend on weather conditions, geothermal energy is available every day of the year. However, geothermal energy is not as widely used as wind or solar power because geothermal power plants need to be near volcanoes or other places where it is unusually hot beneath the surface. These resources aren’t always near large cities or industries that use a lot of electricity. Drilling deep wells and building power plants can be expensive. However, the long-term benefits of geothermal power often outweigh the initial costs. Despite these challenges, tapping into (开发) the Earth’s natural heat can create a renewable, reliable, and clean energy source. As technology improves, more places around the world will turn to geothermal energy to light up people’s lives. Volcanoes are reminders of a great powerhouse deep underground that’s waiting to be tapped. 32. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The value of volcanic heat. B. The applications of geothermal energy. C. The difficulty of making use of volcanic heat. D. The process of tapping into geothermal energy. 33. What advantage does geothermal energy have over other renewable energy? A. It has a lower cost. B. It has a constant supply. C. It is environmentally friendly. D. It generates electricity more efficiently. 34. Why is geothermal energy difficult to be widely used? A. Building power plants near volcanoes is dangerous. B. Geothermal energy depends a lot on weather conditions. C. Its long-term benefits are insufficient to gain financial support. D. The resources are limited in areas with high electricity demand. 35. What is the author’s attitude towards exploiting volcanic heat? A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear. D. Disapproving 【答案】32. D 33. B 34. D 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了地热能的生成过程、优点、挑战以及未来的发展潜力，解释了如何利用火山地区的热量来发电，并讨论了其相对于其他能源的优势和局限性。 【32题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“To make use of this energy, engineers identify areas where magma is near the surface and drill deep wells down to the heated rocks and water. These wells bring steam to the surface, which is directed into power plant to generate electricity. After it produces electricity, the steam cools and condenses back into hot water. The water may be used to convert a different liquid with a much lower boiling point, such as butane (丁烷), to drive a second power generation. Then, it is pumped back underground to be reheated.(为了利用这种能量，工程师们寻找岩浆接近地表的区域，并钻探深井直达被加热的岩石和水。这些井将蒸汽带到地面，然后将蒸汽导入发电厂以产生电力。在发电之后，蒸汽冷却并凝结成热水。热水可以用来转换另一种沸点低得多的液体，比如丁烷，以驱动第二次发电。之后，它会被重新泵送回地下再次被加热)”可知，本段主要内容是介绍地热能的开发过程。故选D。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Unlike other renewable sources, such as solar and wind power, which depend on weather conditions, geothermal energy is available every day of the year.(与其他依赖天气条件的可再生能源，如太阳能和风能不同，地热能全年每天都可以利用)”可知，地热能的优势在于它不受天气影响，能够提供持续稳定的能源供应。故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“However, geothermal energy is not as widely used as wind or solar power because geothermal power plants need to be near volcanoes or other places where it is unusually hot beneath the surface. These resources aren’t always near large cities or industries that use a lot of electricity.(然而，地热能不像风能或太阳能那样广泛应用，因为地热发电厂需要建在火山附近或其他地下异常炎热的地方。这些资源并不总是靠近使用大量电力的大城市或工业区)”可知，在高电力需求地区，地热资源有限，因此难以广泛应用。故选D。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Despite these challenges, tapping into (开发) the Earth’s natural heat can create a renewable, reliable, and clean energy source. As technology improves, more places around the world will turn to geothermal energy to light up people’s lives. Volcanoes are reminders of a great powerhouse deep underground that’s waiting to be tapped.(尽管存在这些挑战，开发地球的自然热能可以创造一种可再生、可靠且清洁的能源。随着技术的进步，世界各地将有更多地方转向地热能来点亮人们的生活。火山是地下深处巨大能量源泉的提醒，这个能量源泉正等待着被开发利用)”可推知，作者对未来地热能的开发是持积极态度的。故选A。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项 Participating in high school extra-curricular activities is important for personal growth.

(参加高中课外活动对个人成长很重要。它们可以教你很多东西，让你结识好朋友，给你关于未来该做什么的想法。)”可知，参加高中课外活动对个人成长很重要。选项G“So if you’re a high school student wondering where to get started, look no further.(所以，如果你是一个高中生，想知道从哪里开始，看看下文。)”是上文内容的自然延续，同时引出下文关于课外活动的相关信息。故选G。 【37题详解】 根据空前“The most important thing to consider before taking part in extra-curricular activity is: what do you like to do?(在参加课外活动之前要考虑的最重要的事情是：你喜欢做什么？)”可知，参加课外活动要考虑自己喜爱的事情。选项E“If you’re going to spend hours every week doing something, you need to enjoy it.(如果你打算每周花几个小时做某事，你需要享受它。)”是上文内容的自然延续，指的是既然是参加课外活动，就应该选择自己喜欢做的事情。故选E。 【38题详解】 根据空前“Usually, your teachers and parents know more about what is going on in your community than you do.(通常，你的老师和父母比你更了解社区里发生的事情。)”可知，询问老师和父母就可以了解社区的事情。选项C“They won’t mind helping you out a little bit.(他们不会介意帮你一点忙的。)”是上文内容的延续，指的是想要了解社区里发生的事情可以询问老师和父母，他们非常乐意帮忙。故选C。 【39题详解】 根据上文内容“Now you know how to find extra-curricular activities, there is one more problem most high school students have: how to find the time. You need to go to school, do your homework, and maybe even work a part time job.(现在你知道了如何寻找课外活动，大多数高中生还有一个问题：如何找到时间。你需要去上学，做作业，甚至可能做一份兼职工作。)”可知，在知道了如何寻找课外活动外，我们还需要找出时间进行课外活动。选项F“You feel there’s not enough time to participate in extra-curricular activities.(你觉得没有足够的时间参加课外活动。)”是上文内容的自然延续，指的是由于需要去上学，做作业，甚至可能做一份兼职工作，你可能觉得没有时间参加课外活动。故选F。 【40题详解】 根据上文内容“However, time is not something too difficult to get. You have to make the time to do extra-curricular activities if you really want to get involved. You can sit down and make your schedule hour by hour and take an honest look at what you do with your free time.(然而，时间并不是很难得到的东西。如果你真的想参与其中，你就得腾出时间参加课外活动。你可以坐下来，一个小时一个小时地制定你的时间表，诚实地看看你的空闲时间都做了些什么。)”可知，由于时间紧张，我们可以看看自己空闲时间都做了什么。选项A“You might be surprised by how much free time you “find”.(你可能会惊讶于你“找到”了多少空闲时间。)”是上文内容的自然延续，指的是当你仔细查看自己空闲时间都做了什么时，你会惊讶于你“找到”了多少空闲时间。故选A。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Harry Smith, aged 81, and Sarah Jane, his dog, were on their morning walk around the lake.

A lot of these films have fallen flat on their face, because a lot of times their sole purpose is to showcase pretty special effects and not much else. Don’t Look Up (2021) Disaster: Asteroid (小行星) impact Normally, when disaster movies are made they tend to focus more on the action side of things or on the tragedy (悲剧) of many lives being lost. Don’t look Up this movie is a comedy at heart, and turns a serious, potentially bad situation into something truly funny. Only the Brave (2017) Disaster: Wildfire This one is specifically about a team of 20 firefighters who risked their own lives to fight the very real 2013 Yarnell Hill Wildfire. 19 of these 20 did not come home. This movie shows how firefighters are somewhat underappreciated members of society that deserve more credit, especially with the danger they face. Deep Impact (1998) Disaster: Asteroid impact It is a movie that didn’t get very good reviews when it first came out, but it is a lot easier to appreciate now. There aren’t a lot of asteroid disaster movies out there that have as many enjoyable moments as this one does. Plus, it has Morgan Freeman in it, who is always a welcome addition. The Impossible (2012) Disaster: Tsunami (海啸) The Impossible is based on a Spanish family experience surviving the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, which reportedly claimed over 250,000 lives in 14 different countries. That’s right: this movie is based on true events. 21. What is special about Don’t look Up? A. It tells terrible scenes. B. It shows survival methods. C. Morgan Freeman is in it. D. Its plot is full of humor. 22. What moves us most in Only the Brave? A. People’s quick reaction to the fire. B. Firefighters’ spirit of devotion. C. People’s gratitude to firefighters. D. The enjoyable moments. 23. Which movie describes the terrible scene in the ocean? A. Don’t Look Up. B. Only the Brave. C. The Impossible. D. Deep Impact. B I love learning foreign languages. In fact, I love it so much that I like to learn a new language every two years. I am currently working on my eighth one. When people find that out about me, they always ask, “What's your secret?” They want to know why they spend years learning even one language, never achieving fluency. They also want to know the secret of polyglots (通晓数种语言的人). And that makes me wonder, too. How do other polyglots do it? What do we have in common? I decided to meet other people like me and find that out. I met Benny from Ireland, who told me that his method is to start speaking from day one. He learns a few phrases from a travel phrasebook and then goes to meet native speakers and starts having conversations with them right away. He doesn't mind even if he makes 200 mistakes a day, because that's how he learns, based on the feedback (反馈). I also met polyglots who always start by imitating the sounds of the language, others who always learn the 500 most frequent words, and yet others who always start by reading about the grammar. If I asked a hundred different polyglots, I would hear a hundred different approaches to learning languages. Everybody seems to have a unique method to learn a language, and yet we all achieve the same result of speaking several languages fluently. And as I was listening to these polyglots telling me about their methods, I suddenly realized that the one thing we all have in common is that we have simply found our own ways to enjoy the language learning process. We are no geniuses and we have no shortcuts to learning languages. We simply found ways to enjoy the process, to turn language learning from a boring school subject into a pleasant activity which we don't mind doing every day. 24. What can we know about the author from the first two paragraphs? A. She is fluent in several languages. B. She is more talented than other polyglots. C. She often uses eight languages in her daily work. D. She devotes herself to teaching foreign languages. 25. How does Benny learn foreign languages? A. By practicing grammar rules. B. By memorizing common words. C. By talking with native speakers. D. By imitating the sounds of languages. 26. What do these polyglots have in common? A. They achieve success in schools. B. They have great talent for language. C. They are not afraid of making mistakes. D. They find joy from the learning process. 27. What is the best title for the text? A. The Secrets of Learning a New Language B. Different Approaches to Learning English C. Why Do Humans Speak So Many Languages? D. How Should We Start Learning English at School? C Was it probable that Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai and Western hero King Arthur meet and fight against each other? Yes. In a game called King of Glory, created by Chinese company Tencent, King of Glory has been one of the most popular MOBA games in China since 2017. About one in every seven Chinese people plays the game, and 55 million of them play it every day. The game is easy for beginners. Social media like QQ and WeChat have also helped the game’s community grow. New players can be invited to play the game by their WeChat contacts, with some seeing it as a good way to keep in touch with old friends and make new ones. The game has more than 60 characters to unlock and play as you progress, each with their own special style and abilities. The characters cover different times and countries. Some are real historical characters, like Li Bai. Some are not. Players use them to fight against each other or team up to fight. The winners can reach higher ranks. However, some people think King of Glory gives the students incorrect information about events and people in history. For example, the poet Li Bai is described as a killer; Jing Ke, the man who tried to kill the first emperor of China, is a girl in the game. But more people worry about children playing the game too much and spending too much money on it. Most of the players are below the age of 19. It’s reported that a l7-year-old boy had a stroke (中风) after playing the game for 40 hours. To change the situation, Tencent added a time limit feature to the game to prevent kids from playing too much. From July 4, 2017, children under 12 years old can play the game for only one hour a day, while users between 12 and 18 get two hours. Those who try to play beyond the time limit will be locked out of the game. 28. What can we learn about King of Glory? A It is the most popular online game in the world. B. It offers 60 characters for players to choose from. C. All of the characters are real historical characters. D. Players fight against each other or team up to fight. 29. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Only young people play the game. B. Many people don’t think the game is so good. C. Children play the game too much and waste too much time. D. The game gives children false information about history. 30. Why was a time limit feature added to the game? A. To save money for players. B. To avoid teenagers’ playing. C. To prevent excessive addiction. D. To appeal to more teenagers. 31. Which of the following is NOT true about King of Glory? A. It’s arguably popular. B. It’s created by Tencent. C. It’s popular around the world. D. Some people think it’s a good way to make friends. D Turning red-hot lava from an active volcano into electricity would be dangerous and unreliable. But many countries, including the U.S. have found ways to use volcanic heat to make electricity. Geothermal energy (地热能) is generated by natural processes deep within the Earth, and in volcanically active regions, the heat is much more intense, sometimes melting rock to form magma (熔岩). To make use of this energy, engineers identify areas where magma is near the surface and drill deep wells down to the heated rocks and water. These wells bring steam to the surface, which is directed into power plant to generate electricity. After it produces electricity, the steam cools and condenses back into hot water. The water may be used to convert a different liquid with a much lower boiling point, such as butane (丁烷), to drive a second power generation. Then, it is pumped back underground to be reheated. The Earth constantly produces heat, so geothermal energy is a renewable resource. Geothermal power plants produce much less pollution, waste and greenhouse gas emissions that warm Earth’s climate than burning coal, gas, oil, or nuclear energy, Geothermal energy sources can last for decades or even longer. Unlike other renewable sources, such as solar and wind power, which depend on weather conditions, geothermal energy is available every day of the year. However, geothermal energy is not as widely used as wind or solar power because geothermal power plants need to be near volcanoes or other places where it is unusually hot beneath the surface. These resources aren’t always near large cities or industries that use a lot of electricity. Drilling deep wells and building power plants can be expensive. However, the long-term benefits of geothermal power often outweigh the initial costs. Despite these challenges, tapping into (开发) the Earth’s natural heat can create a renewable, reliable, and clean energy source. As technology improves, more places around the world will turn to geothermal energy to light up people’s lives. Volcanoes are reminders of a great powerhouse deep underground that’s waiting to be tapped. 32. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The value of volcanic heat. B The applications of geothermal energy. C. The difficulty of making use of volcanic heat. D. The process of tapping into geothermal energy. 33. What advantage does geothermal energy have over other renewable energy? A. It has a lower cost. B. It has a constant supply. C. It is environmentally friendly. D. It generates electricity more efficiently. 34. Why is geothermal energy difficult to be widely used? A. Building power plants near volcanoes is dangerous. B. Geothermal energy depends a lot on weather conditions. C. Its long-term benefits are insufficient to gain financial support. D The resources are limited in areas with high electricity demand. 35. What is the author’s attitude towards exploiting volcanic heat? A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear. D.
