While all her classmates were flying through the 2nd and 3rd books in the Harry Potter series, Skye Malik, only on page four of the first book, got impossibly stuck on the word “doughnut”. Her unexpected difficulty with reading is called dyslexia. Skye got a professional diagnosis at the end of the 2nd grade. Knowing that other kids were going through the same thing made it easier on her somehow. What wasn’t easy, even after all the help she got from special tutors and reading programs, was fluent reading. What many people do without thinking — reading — she had to struggle with word by word, sometimes letter by letter. In class, she would hear the other kids flip through the pages on assignments and go on to the questions while she was still doing battle with the first paragraph. She was as frustrated as she was discouraged. But she didn’t know of any other way until her 4th grade teacher, Miss Pollock, told her about something called Learning Ally. Learning Ally is a non-profit organization that offers audio versions of books. A crew of volunteer readers has recorded 75,000 classic novels, children’s books, and school textbooks that help more than 300,000 students and adults with learning differences or who are blind. Now Skye could listen to the books with her ears and follow the words with her eyes on the page. Instead of having her mother read her textbooks to her, she could independently do her work. “With Learning Ally, I feel confident and capable and can easily keep up with my classmates,” Skye explains, “and I want other kids to feel empowered, just the way I did.” So Skye, now aged 16, created The Paco Project which was named after her grandfather, whose nickname was “Paco”. The Paco Project is a fundraiser and educational initiative focusing on giving students with dyslexia access to the same Learning Ally technology that changed her life. Skye has realized that she is one of the lucky kids who have been diagnosed. She knows that educating teachers about dyslexia and giving students with the learning challenge the tools they need is a great first step in meeting dyslexia head on, and helping them be confident, capable students. “Right now they feel stuck-ashamed, unsure and insecure about their school work. If I could help stop these students feeling this way, that would mean the world to me.” 14. According to the passage. Skye ________. A. found a way out with the help of Miss Pollock B. felt annoyed at being teased by her classmates C. preferred reading the first book of Harry Potter D. was diagnosed with dyslexia in her fourth grade 15. The Paco Project was created ________. A. to promote Learning Ally technology B. to empower those with reading difficulty C. with inspiration from Skye’s grandfather D. in response to the growing demands of teachers 16. The passage is mainly about ________. A. what people with dyslexia are suffering B. what measures are needed to beat dyslexia C. how Learning Ally influenced people with dyslexia D. how Skye battled against dyslexia and helped others 17. Which words best describe Skye’s character? A. Kind and patient B. Shy and dependent C. Persistent and caring D. Imaginative and curious 【答案】14. A 15. B 16. D 17. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了Skye Malik患阅读障碍，借助Learning Ally的有声书改善学习，她创立The Paco Project，为同类学生提供该资源，助力他们自信学习。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“But she didn’t know of any other way until her 4th grade teacher, Miss Pollock, told her about something called Learning Ally.(但是她不知道其他的方法，直到她四年级的老师Pollock小姐告诉她一个叫做Learning Ally的东西)”可知，Skye是通过Pollock老师知道了Learning Ally，所以是在Pollock小姐的帮助下找到了解决办法。故选A。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“The Paco Project is a fundraiser and educational initiative focusing on giving students with dyslexia access to the same Learning Ally technology that changed her life.(Paco项目是一个资金筹集者和教育倡议，致力于让有诵读困难的学生使用改变她生活的“学习联盟”技术)”可知，Paco项目和 Learning Ally一样，是致力于让有诵读困难的学生改变生活的项目。故选B。 【16题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Her unexpected difficulty with reading is called dyslexia. Skye got a professional diagnosis at the end of the 2nd grade. (她意想不到的阅读困难被称为失读症。斯凯在二年级结束时得到了专业诊断)”和第五段“So Skye, now aged 16, created The Paco Project which was named after her grandfather, whose nickname was “Paco”. The Paco Project is a fundraiser and educational initiative focusing on giving students with dyslexia access to the same Learning Ally technology that changed her life.(所以，现年16岁的斯凯创立了“帕科项目”，该项目以她的祖父命名，她祖父的昵称是“帕科”。帕科项目是一项筹款和教育活动，旨在让患有阅读障碍的学生能够使用与改变了她生活的“学习联盟”技术相同的技术)”可知，Skye是一个阅读障碍患者，通过他人的帮助，对抗这个病症，并在长大后也开始帮助其他阅读障碍患者的故事。故选D。 【17题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段““With Learning Ally, I feel confident and capable and can easily keep up with my classmates,” Skye explains, “and I want other kids to feel empowered, just the way I did.”(“有了Learning Ally，我感到自信和有能力，可以轻松地赶上我的同学，”斯凯解释说，“我希望其他孩子也能像我一样感受到力量。”)”可知，斯凯希望其他有阅读障碍的孩子也能感受到力量，由此推知她关心他人。根据第四段“ Now Skye could listen to the books with her ears and follow the words with her eyes on the page. Instead of having her mother read her textbooks to her, she could independently do her work.(现在斯凯可以用自己的耳朵聆听这些书的内容，并通过眼睛在书页上跟随文字的指引来阅读。她不再需要母亲为她朗读课本，而是能够独立完成作业了)”可知，斯凯克服困难，坚持阅读，说明了她坚持不懈。故选C。 C We have known about climate change for decades. There is little doubt that Earth is getting warmer and warmer (see the graph). A warming ocean and atmosphere along with melting ice and rising sea levels provide evidence of a dramatic change in the global climate. In 2013, a lot of people were shocked by a news photo of a dead polar bear that was found on Norway’s Arctic island of Svalbard. According to the scientists who found its dead body, all that remained of the polar bear was “skin and bones”. An expert who has studied polar bears for many years said that from the position of its dead body, the bear appeared to have starved and died. Experts claimed that low sea-ice levels caused by climate change meant the bear could not hunt seals as before, so it had to travel greater distances in order to find food. This alarming case showed how the increase in temperature had an impact on Earth’s ecology. Then what is causing the increase in the global average surface temperature? Climate scientists often mention a key climate process called the “greenhouse effect”, which has two common meanings: the “natural” greenhouse effect and the “man-made” greenhouse effect. The “natural” greenhouse effect refers to the fact that heat from the sun enters the atmosphere and warms Earth’s surface as short-wave radiation. The heat is released back into space at longer wave lengths. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as methane and carbon dioxide, trap some of the heat, keeping Earth’s climate warm and habitable. Without this process, Earth could not sustain life. However, the “man-made” greenhouse effect has now become a big problem. When people produce huge amounts of extra greenhouse gases by burning fossil fuels, more heat energy is trapped in the atmosphere and causes Earth’s surface temperature to rise quickly. There is strong and comprehensive evidence that the rise in temperature has led to an increase in extreme weather and natural disasters worldwide, not only causing serious damage, but also costing human lives. Climate scientists have warned that if we do not take appropriate actions, this warming trend will probably continue and there will be a higher price to pay. In fact, news reports are frequently broadcast about extreme rainstorms and heatwaves causing deaths and economic losses. Continued greenhouse gas emissions will result in further warming and long-lasting changes to the global climate. This requires the attention of people all over the world. Governments need to consider making policies and taking appropriate actions and measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. We as individuals can also reduce our “carbon footprint” by restricting the amount of carbon dioxide our lifestyles produce. It is our responsibility to seize every opportunity to educate everyone about global warming, along with its causes and impacts, because this is the most serious issue affecting all of us on this planet. So what will you do to help? 18. What directly caused the death of the polar bear in Svalbard according to scientist? A. A sudden disease outbreak in the Arctic. B. Inability to hunt seals due to reduced sea ice. C. Competition from other predators for food. D. Extreme heatwaves melting its habitat. 19. Why is the “natural” greenhouse effect important and necessary? A. Because it traps heat to keep Earth’s climate warm enough for life. B. Because it stops the rise of sea levels and melting ice on Earth. C. Because it creates ideal conditions for polar bear habitats. D. Because it cools down the planet’s surface. 20. What are the consequences of high greenhouse gas emissions? A. Lower carbon footprints in people’s daily lives. B. The decrease in extreme weather events worldwide. C. Rising global temperatures and more natural disasters. D. The improvement of Earth’s ecology and sea ice levels. 21. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. The History of Climate Science B. How to Survive Extreme Weather Events C. The Tragic Story of a Starved Polar Bear D. Climate Change Requires the World’s Attention 【答案】18. B 19. A 20. C 21. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了气候变化已持续数十年，全球变暖有诸多证据，以北极熊饿死为例说明其对生态的影响，分析了温室效应的成因，强调需全球应对，个人也应行动。 【18题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Experts claimed that low sea-ice levels caused by climate change meant the bear could not hunt seals as before, so it had to travel greater distances in order to find food.(专家们称，由于气候变化导致的海冰面积减少，使得北极熊无法像以前那样捕食海豹，因此它们不得不跋涉更远的路程去寻找食物)”可知，根据科学家的说法，导致斯瓦尔巴德地区那头北极熊死亡的原因是因海冰减少而无法捕食海豹。故选B。 【19题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as methane and carbon dioxide, trap some of the heat, keeping Earth’s climate warm and habitable. Without this process, Earth could not sustain life.(大气中的温室气体，如甲烷和二氧化碳，会捕获部分热量，使地球的气候保持温暖且适宜生命存在。如果没有这个过程，地球将无法维持生命)”可知，“自然”温室效应是重要且必要是因为它能够吸收热量，从而维持地球适宜生命生存的温暖气候。故选A。 【20题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“There is strong and comprehensive evidence that the rise in temperature has led to an increase in extreme weather and natural disasters worldwide, not only causing serious damage, but also costing human lives. Climate scientists have warned that if we do not take appropriate actions, this warming trend will probably continue and there will be a higher price to pay. In fact, news reports are frequently broadcast about extreme rainstorms and heatwaves causing deaths and economic losses.(有大量且详尽的证据表明，气温的上升导致了全球范围内极端天气和自然灾害的增多，不仅造成了严重的破坏，还夺走了许多人的生命。气候科学家警告称，如果我们不采取适当的措施，这种变暖趋势很可能会持续下去，而且付出的代价将会更高。事实上，有关极端暴雨和热浪导致人员伤亡和经济损失的新闻报道经常被广泛播报)”以及最后一段“Continued greenhouse gas emissions will result in further warming and long-lasting changes to the global climate.(持续的温室气体排放将会导致气温进一步升高，并对全球气候造成长期的改变)”可知，高排放温室气体会导致全球气温上升以及更多自然灾害。故选C。 【21题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，并根据第一段“We have known about climate change for decades. There is little doubt that Earth is getting warmer and warmer (see the graph). A warming ocean and atmosphere along with melting ice and rising sea levels provide evidence of a dramatic change in the global climate.(我们早就知道气候变化这一现象了。毫无疑问，地球正变得越来越热（请参考图表）。不断变暖的海洋和大气层，以及冰层的融化和海平面的上升，都证明了全球气候发生了巨大的变化)”和最后一段“It is our responsibility to seize every opportunity to educate everyone about global warming, along with its causes and impacts, because this is the most serious issue affecting all of us on this planet. So what will you do to help?(我们有责任抓住每一个机会，向所有人普及全球变暖及其成因和影响，因为这是地球上影响我们所有人的最严峻问题。那么，你会做些什么来提供帮助呢？)”可知，文章主要说明了气候变化已持续数十年，全球变暖有诸多证据，分析了温室效应的成因，强调需全球应对，个人也应行动。由此可知，D选项“气候变化需要全世界的关注”最符合文章标题。故选D。 三、阅读并回答问题 (共4题，前三题2分，最后一题4分，共10分) Music has long been considered to be an enjoyable pastime for many people. It is also highly popular due to the individualized effects on stress and anxiety. The mental health benefits from music can’t be argued. Music could also be helping you with many other health problems behind the scenes. Some experts say that music can be harmful if it is too loud. However, for the same reason, music can be very beneficial if one is in pain. By distracting (分心) the mind from the pain, music, people say. can lower stress and anxiety levels. This, of course, can lead to less pain. Many people enjoy relaxing music in the evening prior to going to bed. They say it can play a big role in calming the brain enough to sleep. While the validity of the idea is still being assessed, the lowered stress can even be tied back to blood pressure. Similarly, according to researchers, listening to just 30 minutes of soft music every day may help with healthy blood sugar levels, through the lowering of stress and anxiety. When it comes to heart health, there is speculation (推测) that it’s not the style of music, but rather the tempo (节奏) that makes it so good for your heart health. In one European study, participants listened to music as the researchers monitored their heart rates and blood pressure. Interestingly, the more cheerful the music was, the faster their heart rates were. On the other hand, when the music slowed, the participants’ stress and anxiety levels became lower and the effects on heart rates appeared to follow suit. The implications of music on overall well-being are really impressive. But there is a whole range of other health issues that turning up the radio could be beneficial for, which is what makes music so valuable. 22. How can music help reduce pain according to some people? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 23. What are the possible effects of listening to relaxing music before bed? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 24. In the European study, what was the relationship between music tempo and participants’ heart rates? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 25. In your daily life, what benefits can music bring you? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】22. Because music can distract the mind from the pain, lower stress and anxiety levels, which can lead to less pain. 23. It can play a big role in calming the brain enough to sleep. 24. In the European study, the relationship between music tempo and participants' heart rates was that the more cheerful (faster tempo) the music was, the faster their heart rates were. Conversely, when the music slowed down, participants' stress and anxiety levels decreased, and this seemed to be reflected in their heart rates as well. 25. In my daily life, music brings many benefits. It relieves stress by calming my mind with soft melodies after study. It also helps me focus on tasks through instrumental tunes, and lifts my mood with upbeat songs when I’m tired. What’s more, it also creates a relaxing atmosphere for better sleep at night. making each day more balanced and enjoyable. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了音乐对人们健康的多方面益处，包括缓解疼痛、帮助睡眠、影响心脏健康等，同时提及音乐在其他健康问题上也可能有积极作用。 【22题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章第二段“However, for the same reason, music can be very beneficial if one is in pain. By distracting (分心) the mind from the pain, music, people say, can lower stress and anxiety levels. This, of course, can lead to less pain(然而，出于同样的原因，当一个人处于痛苦中时，音乐可能是非常有益的。人们说，通过将注意力从痛苦中转移开，音乐可以降低压力和焦虑水平。当然，这可以减少痛苦)”可知，音乐通过转移人们对疼痛的注意力，降低压力和焦虑水平，从而帮助减轻疼痛，故答案为Because music can distract the mind from the pain, lower stress and anxiety levels, which can lead to less pain。 【23题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章第三段“Many people enjoy relaxing music in the evening prior to going to bed. They say it can play a big role in calming the brain enough to sleep(许多人喜欢在晚上睡前听舒缓的音乐。他们说，这在让大脑平静下来足以入睡方面能起到很大作用)”可知，睡前听舒缓的音乐有助于平静大脑，帮助入睡，故答案为It can play a big role in calming the brain enough to sleep。 【24题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章第四段“In one European study, participants listened to music as the researchers monitored their heart rates and blood pressure. Interestingly, the more cheerful the music was, the faster their heart rates were. On the other hand, when the music slowed, the participants’ stress and anxiety levels became lower and the effects on heart rates appeared to follow suit(在一项欧洲研究中，参与者听音乐，研究人员监测他们的心率和血压。有趣的是，音乐越欢快，他们的心率就越快。另一方面，当音乐放慢时，参与者的压力和焦虑水平降低，对心率的影响似乎也随之降低)”可知，在欧洲的研究中，音乐节奏与参与者心率之间的关系是：音乐越欢快（节奏越快），他们的心率就越快。相反，当音乐节奏放慢时，参与者的压力和焦虑水平会降低，这似乎也反映在了他们的心率上，故答案为In the European study, the relationship between music tempo and participants’ heart rates was that the more cheerful (faster tempo) the music was, the faster their heart rates were. Conversely, when the music slowed down, participants’ stress and anxiety levels decreased, and this seemed to be reflected in their heart rates as well。 【25题详解】 考查阅读表达。根据文章第二段“However, for the same reason, music can be very beneficial if one is in pain. By distracting (分心) the mind from the pain, music, people say, can lower stress and anxiety levels. This, of course, can lead to less pain(然而，出于同样的原因，当一个人处于痛苦中时，音乐可能是非常有益的。人们说，通过将注意力从痛苦中转移开，音乐可以降低压力和焦虑水平。当然，这可以减少痛苦)”、第三段“Many people enjoy relaxing music in the evening prior to going to bed. They say it can play a big role in calming the brain enough to sleep(许多人喜欢在晚上睡前听舒缓的音乐。他们说，这在让大脑平静下来足以入睡方面能起到很大作用)”以及第四段“In one European study, participants listened to music as the researchers monitored their heart rates and blood pressure.

On the other hand, when the music slowed, the participants’ stress and anxiety levels became lower and the effects on heart rates appeared to follow suit(在一项欧洲研究中，参与者听音乐，研究人员监测他们的心率和血压。有趣的是，音乐越欢快，他们的心率就越快。另一方面，当音乐放慢时，参与者的压力和焦虑水平降低，对心率的影响似乎也随之降低)”可知，音乐有许多益处。它通过在学习后用柔和的旋律平静心灵来缓解压力。它还通过器乐旋律帮助专注于任务，当疲惫时，欢快的歌曲能提升情绪。此外，它还能在夜晚营造出放松的氛围，使睡眠更好，每一天都更加平衡和愉快，故答案为In my daily life, music brings many benefits. It relieves stress by calming my mind with soft melodies after study. It also helps me focus on tasks through instrumental tunes, and lifts my mood with upbeat songs when I’m tired. What’s more, it also creates a relaxing atmosphere for better sleep at night, making each day more balanced and enjoyable。 四、语法填空 (共10小题，每小题1.5分，共15分) 26.

A US TV show ________ (call) A walk in Your Shoes gives people the chance to try. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】called 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：一档名为《换位思考》美国电视节目让人们有机会去尝试。设空处需填非谓语动词作后置定语，修饰名词短语“A US TV show”。动词call与show之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，因此用过去分词。故填called。 30. Writing your notes clearly ________ (help) you remember the things better. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】helps 【解析】 【详解】考查时态。句意：清晰地记笔记有助于你更好地记住这些事情。动名词短语“Writing your notes clearly”作主语，谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式。句子描述的客观事实，时态为一般现在时，故填helps。 31. Did you know the man _______ is standing at the school gate? (用适当的词填空) 【答案】who##that 【解析】 【详解】考查定语从句。句意：你认识那个正站在学校门口的男人吗？“_______ is standing at the school gate”是一个限制性定语从句，修饰先行词the man，指人，关系词将其代入定语从句中作主语，用关系代词who或that引导从句。故填who/that。 32. Is there a shop nearby _______ I can buy some sweets? （用适当的词填空） 【答案】where 【解析】 【详解】考查定语从句。句意：附近有没有一家我可以买糖果的商店？分析句子结构可知，空格处引导定语从句，先行词为shop，在从句中作地点状语，即“在这家商店里我可以买糖果”，所以应用关系副词where引导该从句。故填where。 33. Van Gogh painted ________ he saw from his window. (用适当的词填空) 【答案】what 【解析】 【详解】考查名词性从句。句意：梵高画出了他从窗外看到的画面。分析句子可知，painted后跟了一个宾语从句，宾语从句的引导词在从句中作saw的宾语，表示从他的窗户外看到的东西，所以由what引导宾语从句，故填what。 34. It is hard to believe ________ Van Gogh only sold one painting during his lifetime. (用适当的词填空) 【答案】that 【解析】 【详解】考查主语从句。句意：很难相信梵高一生只卖出了一幅画。此处it作形式主语，空处引导主语从句，从句不缺少成分和句意，用连词that引导从句。故填that。 35. ________ he’ll leave for New York hasn’t been decided. (用适当的词填空) 【答案】When##Whether 【解析】 【详解】考查主语从句。句意：他何时/是否动身去纽约还没有决定。空处引导主语从句，此处表示“什么时候动身还没决定”，所以应用when引导该从句；或者表示“是否动身去还没决定”，用whether引导该从句。句首单词首字母大写。故填When/Whether。 五、词汇填空 (共8小题，每小题1分，共8分) 用方框中短语的适当形式完成下列句子，每个词只能使用一次。 apart from with a broad smile make a difference take action set up attempt to do sth. make connection with thanks to 36.

What is the purpose of the passage? A. To explore the Hualapai culture B. To attract people to the sights C. To explain how to make a rafting trip D. To introduce the history of the Colorado River B It was a reading class. While all her classmates were flying through the 2nd and 3rd books in the Harry Potter series, Skye Malik, only on page four of the first book, got impossibly stuck on the word “doughnut”. Her unexpected difficulty with reading is called dyslexia. Skye got a professional diagnosis at the end of the 2nd grade. Knowing that other kids were going through the same thing made it easier on her somehow. What wasn’t easy, even after all the help she got from special tutors and reading programs, was fluent reading. What many people do without thinking — reading — she had to struggle with word by word, sometimes letter by letter. In class, she would hear the other kids flip through the pages on assignments and go on to the questions while she was still doing battle with the first paragraph. She was as frustrated as she was discouraged. But she didn’t know of any other way until her 4th grade teacher, Miss Pollock, told her about something called Learning Ally. Learning Ally is a non-profit organization that offers audio versions of books. A crew of volunteer readers has recorded 75,000 classic novels, children’s books, and school textbooks that help more than 300,000 students and adults with learning differences or who are blind. Now Skye could listen to the books with her ears and follow the words with her eyes on the page. Instead of having her mother read her textbooks to her, she could independently do her work. “With Learning Ally, I feel confident and capable and can easily keep up with my classmates,” Skye explains, “and I want other kids to feel empowered, just the way I did.” So Skye, now aged 16, created The Paco Project which was named after her grandfather, whose nickname was “Paco”. The Paco Project is a fundraiser and educational initiative focusing on giving students with dyslexia access to the same Learning Ally technology that changed her life. Skye has realized that she is one of the lucky kids who have been diagnosed. She knows that educating teachers about dyslexia and giving students with the learning challenge the tools they need is a great first step in meeting dyslexia head on, and helping them be confident, capable students. “Right now they feel stuck-ashamed, unsure and insecure about their school work. If I could help stop these students feeling this way, that would mean the world to me.” 14. According to the passage. Skye ________. A. found a way out with the help of Miss Pollock B. felt annoyed at being teased by her classmates C preferred reading the first book of Harry Potter D. was diagnosed with dyslexia in her fourth grade 15. The Paco Project was created ________. A. to promote Learning Ally technology B. to empower those with reading difficulty C. with inspiration from Skye’s grandfather D. in response to the growing demands of teachers 16. The passage is mainly about ________. A. what people with dyslexia are suffering B. what measures are needed to beat dyslexia C. how Learning Ally influenced people with dyslexia D. how Skye battled against dyslexia and helped others 17. Which words best describe Skye’s character? A. Kind and patient B. Shy and dependent C. Persistent and caring D. Imaginative and curious C We have known about climate change for decades. There is little doubt that Earth is getting warmer and warmer (see the graph). A warming ocean and atmosphere along with melting ice and rising sea levels provide evidence of a dramatic change in the global climate. In 2013, a lot of people were shocked by a news photo of a dead polar bear that was found on Norway’s Arctic island of Svalbard. According to the scientists who found its dead body, all that remained of the polar bear was “skin and bones”. An expert who has studied polar bears for many years said that from the position of its dead body, the bear appeared to have starved and died. Experts claimed that low sea-ice levels caused by climate change meant the bear could not hunt seals as before, so it had to travel greater distances in order to find food. This alarming case showed how the increase in temperature had an impact on Earth’s ecology. Then what is causing the increase in the global average surface temperature? Climate scientists often mention a key climate process called the “greenhouse effect”, which has two common meanings: the “natural” greenhouse effect and the “man-made” greenhouse effect. The “natural” greenhouse effect refers to the fact that heat from the sun enters the atmosphere and warms Earth’s surface as short-wave radiation. The heat is released back into space at longer wave lengths. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, such as methane and carbon dioxide, trap some of the heat, keeping Earth’s climate warm and habitable. Without this process, Earth could not sustain life. However, the “man-made” greenhouse effect has now become a big problem. When people produce huge amounts of extra greenhouse gases by burning fossil fuels, more heat energy is trapped in the atmosphere and causes Earth’s surface temperature to rise quickly. There is strong and comprehensive evidence that the rise in temperature has led to an increase in extreme weather and natural disasters worldwide, not only causing serious damage, but also costing human lives. Climate scientists have warned that if we do not take appropriate actions, this warming trend will probably continue and there will be a higher price to pay. In fact, news reports are frequently broadcast about extreme rainstorms and heatwaves causing deaths and economic losses. Continued greenhouse gas emissions will result in further warming and long-lasting changes to the global climate. This requires the attention of people all over the world. Governments need to consider making policies and taking appropriate actions and measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. We as individuals can also reduce our “carbon footprint” by restricting the amount of carbon dioxide our lifestyles produce. It is our responsibility to seize every opportunity to educate everyone about global warming, along with its causes and impacts, because this is the most serious issue affecting all of us on this planet. So what will you do to help? 18. What directly caused the death of the polar bear in Svalbard according to scientist? A. A sudden disease outbreak in the Arctic. B. Inability to hunt seals due to reduced sea ice. C. Competition from other predators for food. D. Extreme heatwaves melting its habitat. 19. Why is the “natural” greenhouse effect important and necessary? A. Because it traps heat to keep Earth’s climate warm enough for life. B. Because it stops the rise of sea levels and melting ice on Earth. C. Because it creates ideal conditions for polar bear habitats. D. Because it cools down the planet’s surface. 20. What are the consequences of high greenhouse gas emissions? A. Lower carbon footprints in people’s daily lives. B. The decrease in extreme weather events worldwide. C. Rising global temperatures and more natural disasters. D. The improvement of Earth’s ecology and sea ice levels. 21. Which would be the best title for the passage? A. The History of Climate Science B. How to Survive Extreme Weather Events C. The Tragic Story of a Starved Polar Bear D. Climate Change Requires the World’s Attention 三、阅读并回答问题 (共4题，前三题2分，最后一题4分，共10分) Music has long been considered to be an enjoyable pastime for many people. It is also highly popular due to the individualized effects on stress and anxiety. The mental health benefits from music can’t be argued. Music could also be helping you with many other health problems behind the scenes. Some experts say that music can be harmful if it is too loud. However, for the same reason, music can be very beneficial if one is in pain. By distracting (分心) the mind from the pain, music, people say. can lower stress and anxiety levels. This, of course, can lead to less pain. Many people enjoy relaxing music in the evening prior to going to bed. They say it can play a big role in calming the brain enough to sleep. While the validity of the idea is still being assessed, the lowered stress can even be tied back to blood pressure. Similarly, according to researchers, listening to just 30 minutes of soft music every day may help with healthy blood sugar levels, through the lowering of stress and anxiety. When it comes to heart health, there is speculation (推测) that it’s not the style of music, but rather the tempo (节奏) that makes it so good for your heart health. In one European study, participants listened to music as the researchers monitored their heart rates and blood pressure. Interestingly, the more cheerful the music was, the faster their heart rates were. On the other hand, when the music slowed, the participants’ stress and anxiety levels became lower and the effects on heart rates appeared to follow suit. The implications of music on overall well-being are really impressive. But there is a whole range of other health issues that turning up the radio could be beneficial for, which is what makes music so valuable. 22. How can music help reduce pain according to some people? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 23. What are the possible effects of listening to relaxing music before bed? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 24. In the European study, what was the relationship between music tempo and participants’ heart rates? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 25.
