The Guadalupe River overflowed, flooding neighborhoods and washing away roads and bridges. Hundreds of people had to leave their homes. Officials say this is the worst flooding the region has seen in years. Below is the breakdown of damages by county. County Economic Losses Buildings Damaged Hunt $28 million 85 (including 12 historic structures) Kerr $15 million 62 (including 3 bridges, 2 historic buildings) Comal $5 million 34 (including 2 highways) Blanco $2 million 18 (including 1 historic building) Below were key updates as of Friday night. 1. Casualties & Emergency Response The floods have killed 24 people, and 25 campers from Camp Mystic remain missing as searches continue. Emergency crews including the Texas National Guard have rescued 237 people using helicopters supported by over 500 personnel from federal agencies (including FEMA and the U.S. Coast Guard) that are currently assisting in affected areas. 2. Challenges Rescue teams struggled to reach isolated communities as flooded roads and downed power lines blocked access, delaying critical aid. To make matters worse, early weather warnings had underestimated the flood's severity, leaving residents little time to reach safety. 3. Government Response Governor Greg Abbott issued an emergency disaster declaration for 15 central Texas counties, accelerating state funding for recovery efforts. Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick noted communication outages likely delayed locating missing campers. 4. Recovery Outlook The Red Cross has set up 12 shelters, helping more than 1,200 displaced families. Environmental agencies warn that flooded factories could cause pollution. Meanwhile, transportation officials say highway repairs may take weeks. 1. Which county was most severely affected in the floods? A. Hunt. B. Kerr. C. Comal. D. Blanco. 2. How many people have been saved by emergency crews as of Friday night? A. 49. B. 237. C. 500. D. 1200. 3. What did Governor Greg Abbott do in response to the disaster? A. Ordered search-and-rescue operations. B. Raised emergency funds for recovery. C. Established shelters for affected families. D. Declared a state of emergency disaster. 【答案】1. A 2. B 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。主要讲述了德克萨斯州中部因连日暴雨引发危险洪水的情况，包括洪水造成的损失、人员伤亡、救援情况、面临的挑战、政府应对措施以及恢复前景等。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据表格中各郡的经济损失和受损建筑数量，Hunt郡的经济损失为2800万美元，受损建筑85座（包括12座历史建筑），在经济损失和受损建筑数量上均高于其他郡。因此，Hunt郡受洪水影响最为严重。故选A项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Casualties & Emergency Response”部分中的“Emergency crews including the Texas National Guard have rescued 237 people using helicopters supported by over 500 personnel from federal agencies (including FEMA and the U.S. Coast Guard) that are currently assisting in affected areas. (包括得克萨斯州国民警卫队在内的紧急救援人员使用直升机救出了237人，此次救援得到了来自联邦机构（包括联邦紧急事务管理局和美国海岸警卫队）的500多名人员的支援，这些人员目前正在受影响地区提供协助)”可知，截至周五晚上，紧急救援人员已救出237人。故选B项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Government Response”部分中的“Governor Greg Abbott issued an emergency disaster declaration for 15 central Texas counties, accelerating state funding for recovery efforts. (Greg Abbott州长为得克萨斯州中部的15个县发布了紧急灾难声明，以加快用于灾后恢复工作的州政府资金拨付)”可知，州长Greg Abbott为德克萨斯州中部的15个郡发布了紧急灾难声明。故选D项。 B When you’re bored, do you start scanning through short videos? That might not ease your boredom. According to a recent study, switching between videos or fast-forwarding through them can bore you even more. Boredom is an uncomfortable emotion which can develop when a situation lacks newness or meaning. But it serves a purpose. Boredom signals that there is something more pleasurable to do. This can motivate people to explore their environment and stop investing time in an activity that has little to offer. Katy Y. Y. Tam, from the University of Toronto Scarborough in Canada, is a scientist and psychologist. In 2021, Tam developed a theory called the “Boredom Feedback Model”, stating that boredom happens when your attention shifts from one thing to another. This type of boredom can happen when people start watching one online video, then, fast-forward or skip to the next one. Tam ran experiments with more than 1,200 people, and showed that people switched to new videos when they were bored. These people believed switching videos would make them less bored. But the result was just the opposite. In one experiment, people watched a single video for 10 minutes. Next, scientists asked them to watch seven shorter videos, with the ability to skip to the next. On average, people skipped eight times. When skipping around, people reported feeling more bored, less satisfied, and less engaged than when they fully watched a single video. Growing evidence shows that boredom is on the rise. Bored people often turn to their phones, but report being more bored. Psychology professor Michael Inzlicht, who worked on the study with Tam, said he had been fascinated by rising boredom in recent years. He thought it could be due to a lack of concentration. “When you’re absorbed, you don’t feel bored. When your attention is spread, you’re almost by definition not satisfied,” Inzlicht said. 4. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. Signals of boredom. B. A positive aspect of boredom. C. The purpose of the experiments. D. Motivations of the experiments. 5. According to the “Boredom Feedback Model”, what causes boredom? A. Mind-engaging tasks. B. Changing focus constantly. C. Watching online videos. D. Time-consuming activities. 6. What would people generally expect when skipping videos? A. Boredom would be killed. B. Self-satisfaction would be achieved. C. Attention would be enhanced. D. More information would be obtained. 7. According to Michael Inzlicht, which of the following behavior would help avoid boredom? A. Limiting the time of screen use. B. Aimlessly adopting different activities. C. Engaging in attention-demanding tasks. D Frequently shifting learning subjects in a short time. 【答案】4. B 5. B 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了无聊是一种不舒服的情绪，当一个情况缺乏新奇时，就会产生无聊，但它也有积极的一面。 【4题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“Boredom signals that there is something more pleasurable to do. This can motivate people to explore their environment and stop investing time in an activity that has little to offer. (无聊意味着有更令人愉快的事情要做。这可以激励人们去探索周围的环境，而不再把时间花在没有什么价值的活动上。)”可知，第二段的主要内容是关于无聊的积极方面。故选B项。 5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“In 2021, Tam developed a theory called the “Boredom Feedback Model”, stating that boredom happens when your attention shifts from one thing to another. (2021年，Tam提出了一个名为“无聊反馈模型”的理论，指出当你的注意力从一件事转移到另一件事时，无聊就会发生。)”可知，根据“无聊反馈模型”，是不断改变焦点导致了无聊。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Tam ran experiments with more than 1,200 people, and showed that people switched to new videos when they were bored. These people believed switching videos would make them less bored. But the result was just the opposite. (Tam对1200多人进行了实验，结果表明，当人们感到无聊时，他们会切换到新的视频。这些人认为切换视频会让他们不那么无聊。但结果却恰恰相反。)”可知，跳过视频时，人们通常会期待无聊会被消灭。故选A项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“When you’re absorbed, you don’t feel bored. When your attention is spread, you’re almost by definition not satisfied (当你全神贯注时，你不会感到无聊。当你的注意力分散时，你几乎是不满意的)”可知，根据Michael Inzlicht的说法，参与需要注意力的任务的行为有助于避免无聊。故选C项。 C A recent study by Australian and other researchers described what could happen if targets to limit global temperature increases are not met. Nerilie Abram is a professor at the Australian National University’s Research School of Earth Sciences. She warned that the melting of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet could be catastrophic, Abram said, “By 2500, Fast Antarctica could contribute up to 5 meters of sea level rises on top of the sea level rise that we will already have had from Greenland and West Antarctica.” The East Antarctic Ice Sheet holds the majority of world’s glacier ice. It was thought to be less affected by worldwide temperature rises compared to the ice sheet in West Antarctica or Greenland. The study by Abram and other researchers says that if the temperature rise is limited to 2 degrees Celsius, the East Antarctic Ice Sheet should remain stable. In other words, it should remain generally the same size. But the researchers warn that warmer temperatures could cause more melting and increase worldwide sea level by many meters. Abram said, “It gives us even more of a reason to make sure that we are doing everything that we can to not exceed that 2-degree warming level.” The Paris Climate Agreement, signed in 2015, aims to limit global warming to under 2 degrees Celsius. Another Antarctica study published in Nature drew from research by scientists at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in California. The scientists found that the edge of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet has been losing ice faster than natural processes can replace it. Eric Wolff is a professor at the University of Cambridge in Britain. He said of the JPL study, “if we keep to the 2 degrees of global warming that the Paris agreement promises, the sea level rise due to the East Antarctic ice sheet should be modest.” But, he said, failure to limit global warming and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, would risk “many meters of sea level rise over the next few centuries.” 8. What can be concluded from the second paragraph? A. Worldwide temperature rises when glacier ice melts. B. The East Antarctic Ice Sheet will melt down by 2500. C. Greenland and West Antarctica already causes sea level rise. D. World’s glacier ice mostly stays in the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. 9. What does the underlined word “catastrophic” in the second paragraph mean? A. disastrous B. disappointing C. exciting D. delicious 10. What should we do according to Eric Wolff? A. Limit global warming and increase greenhouse gas emissions. B. Keep to the goal of the Paris agreement promises. C. Risk many meters of sea level rise in the future. D. Make the East Antarctic ice sheet modest. 11. What can be the best title for the text? A. The East Antarctic Ice Sheet determines our future B. Researchers: world’s largest ice sheet risks melting C. East Antarctica will lead to 5 meters of sea level rises D. The Paris Climate Agreement’s 2 degrees Celsius limit 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍南极东部冰盖受气候变暖影响的融化风险及相关研究结论。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Abram said, “By 2500, Fast Antarctica could contribute up to 5 meters of sea level rises on top of the sea level rise that we will already have had from Greenland and West Antarctica.” (艾布拉姆说：“到2500年，除了格陵兰岛和南极西部已经造成的海平面上升外，东部南极洲可能还会导致海平面再上升5米。”) ”可知，格陵兰岛和南极西部已经造成了海平面上升。故选C项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“Abram said, “By 2500, Fast Antarctica could contribute up to 5 meters of sea level rises on top of the sea level rise that we will already have had from Greenland and West Antarctica.” The East Antarctic Ice Sheet holds the majority of world’s glacier ice. (艾布拉姆说：“到2500年，除了格陵兰岛和南极西部已经造成的海平面上升外，东部南极洲可能还会导致海平面再上升5米。”南极东部冰原拥有世界上大部分的冰川冰。) ”可知，南极东部拥有世界上大部分的冰川，它的融化会导致海平面再上升5米，由此可知，南极东部冰盖融化的后果是严重的。由此猜测，catastrophic的意思是“灾难性的”，与disastrous同义。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Eric Wolff is a professor at the University of Cambridge in Britain. He said of the JPL study, “if we keep to the 2 degrees of global warming that the Paris agreement promises, the sea level rise due to the East Antarctic ice sheet should be modest.” (埃里克・沃尔夫是英国剑桥大学的教授。他在谈到喷气推进实验室的这项研究时说：“如果我们遵守《巴黎协定》承诺的全球升温不超过2摄氏度的目标，那么南极东部冰盖导致的海平面上升幅度应该会比较小。”) ”可知，埃里克・沃尔夫认为我们应该遵守《巴黎协定》承诺的目标。故选B项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，全文围绕东南极冰盖（世界最大冰盖）融化风险展开：第二段强调其融化可能带来灾难性海平面上升；第三、四段指出2℃升温限制对稳定的重要性；末段补充冰盖消退速度超自然恢复的发现。选项B“Researchers: world’s largest ice sheet risks melting (研究人员称：全球最大冰盖面临融化风险)”能够概括文章主旨，适合作最佳标题。故选B项。 D They say you catch more flies with honey than vinegar. But when it comes to tackling a tricky task, researchers have found that getting angry can also be a powerful motivator. The experiments suggest people who are angry perform better on a set of challenging tasks than those who are emotionally neutral. The study, published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, details how researchers at Texas A&M University conducted experiments involving more than 1,000 people, and analysed survey data from more than 1,400 people to explore the possible impact of anger on people in various circumstances. In one experiment, students were shown images previously found to cause anger, desire, amusement, sadness or no particular emotion at all. Participants were subsequently asked to solve a series of anagrams (变形词). The results reveal that for a challenging set of anagrams, those who were angry did better — although no difference was seen for easy anagrams. The researchers say one explanation could be down to a link between anger and greater persistence (坚持), with the team finding those who were angry spent more time on the difficult set of anagrams. In another experiment, participants who were angry did better at avoiding flags in a skiing video game than those who were neutral or sad, and were on a par with (同水平) those who felt amusement or desire. “This pattern could indicate that general physical arousal (激起) had a benefit for game scores, as this would be greater in anger, amused, and desire conditions compared to the sad and neutral conditions,” the researchers write. However, no such differences in performance was found when it came to an easier video game. “People often prefer to use positive emotions as tools more than negative and tend to see negative emotions as undesirable,” said Lench, the first author of the study. “Our research adds to the growing evidence that a mix of positive and negative emotions promotes wellbeing, and that using negative emotions as tools can be particularly effective in some situations.” 12. What tasks did the researchers set for the students? A. Catching flies with honey. B. Helping analyze survey data. C. Putting tasks into different categories. D. Performing tasks in various emotional states. 13. Why does anger enable people to perform better on challenging tasks? A. It brings team spirit into full play. B. It promotes a deep insight into the tasks. C. It increases effort toward attaining a goal. D. It changes challenging tasks into easy ones. 14. What are paragraphs 7 and 8 mainly about? A. Research result consistent with previous findings. B. Potential application of the research finding. C. A further explanation of the research method. D. A reasonable doubt about the research process. 15. What does Lench intend to do in the last paragraph? A. To present more proofs. B. To draw a conclusion. C. To make a comparison. D. To criticize old practices. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍的是一项研究表明：当面对艰巨任务时，愤怒也可以成为强有力的动力源。研究人员表示，使用负面情绪作为工具在某些情况下可能特别有效。研究结果表明，正面情绪和负面情绪的混合有助于促进幸福感。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“In one experiment, students were shown images previously found to cause anger, desire, amusement, sadness or no particular emotion at all. Participants were subsequently asked to solve a series of anagrams (变形词).(在一项实验中，研究人员向学生们展示了之前发现会引起愤怒、欲望、娱乐、悲伤或根本没有特定情绪图片。随后，参与者被要求解决一系列字谜)”以及第五段中“The results reveal that for a challenging set of anagrams, those who were angry did better — although no difference was seen for easy anagrams.(结果显示，在一组具有挑战性的字谜游戏中，那些生气的人表现得更好——尽管在简单的字谜游戏中没有发现差异)”可知，研究过程中，研究人员向学生们展示了之前发现会引起愤怒、欲望、娱乐、悲伤或根本没有特定情绪的图片。随后，参与者被要求解决一系列字谜。由此可知，学生们在各种情绪状态下执行任务。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段中“The researchers say one explanation could be down to a link between anger and greater persistence (坚持), with the team finding those who were angry spent more time on the difficult set of anagrams.(研究人员表示，一种解释可以归结为愤怒和更强的毅力之间的联系，研究小组发现，愤怒的人花更多的时间在困难的字谜上)”可知，愤怒之所以能够让人们在完成困难任务上表现的更好是因为愤怒和更强的毅力之间有着联系，促使研究对象完成困难任务。由此可知，愤怒能让人们在具有挑战性的任务中表现得更好，因为它增加了实现目标的努力。故选C。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第七段中“In another experiment, participants who were angry did better at avoiding flags in a skiing video game than those who were neutral or sad, and were on a par with (同水平) those who felt amusement or desire.(在另一项实验中，在滑雪视频游戏中，愤怒的参与者比那些中立或悲伤的参与者更能避开旗帜，与那些感到娱乐或欲望的参与者不相上下)”以及第八段中““This pattern could indicate that general physical arousal (激起) had a benefit for game scores, as this would be greater in anger, amused, and desire conditions compared to the sad and neutral conditions,” the researchers write.(研究人员写道：“这种模式表明，一般的身体激起会对游戏得分有益，因为在愤怒、好笑和渴望条件下，这种激起会比悲伤和中性条件更为强烈”)”可知，第七段和第八段通过描述另外的一项研究表述当面对艰巨任务时，愤怒也可以成为强有力的动力源。由此可知，研究结果与前人的发现一致。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Our research adds to the growing evidence that a mix of positive and negative emotions promotes wellbeing, and that using negative emotions as tools can be particularly effective in some situations.(越来越多的证据表明，积极情绪和消极情绪的结合能促进健康，在某些情况下，将消极情绪作为工具尤其有效，我们的研究进一步证明了这一点)”可推知，最后一段中Lench倾向于得出结论。故选B。 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。 How to Be Funny?

Christmas holidays! When he got home, he went to check on his pony, Scout. He slipped him a candy, and Scout nuzzled（用口鼻轻擦）his shoulder. Ben started toward the house and found his older brother Jack starting the snowmobile（雪地机动车）to deliver gas to Uncle Mike. Ben jumped on the back and joined him. They set of slowly. The snow was fresh and deep on the remote mountain path. When they arrived, Jack went over with the gas can. Ben looked up the mountain and saw something moving. He got binoculars（望远镜）and saw two animals. Could it be a horse? Jack climbed back on the snowmobile and asked Ben to leave. When Ben told Jack he saw horses up in the snowy trees, Jack didn't believe it. Ben looked back up the mountain, but he couldn't see anything. At dinner Ben told his father he saw two horses up on the mountain today. “If they are horses, they must be trapped by all this snow." said his dad. "If they're trapped, we have to do something," said Ben, his voice rising. His dad looked at Jack. "Well, in the morning go and take a look. Take the gun and some hay（干草）. If they look as if they can survive, give them the hay. If not…"Jack looked serious, and slowly nodded. Ben knew what the gun was for, and his chest went cold. In the morning, they set off in the cold snow. When they got to the place where Ben had seen the horses, they stopped and looked up using binoculars. No horses. They waited for a few minutes. "I see them. They' re horses. Let's take the snowmobile up there. "Ben suddenly exclaimed. They drove the snowmobile in the deep snow and finally reached the place. "Oh no!" said Ben "They're starving!" One of the horses had lost a lot of hair, and their tails were almost gone. Their eyes were lifeless and tired. Paragraph 1: Jack walked around the horses. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The two brothers went from door to door asking everyone to come and help. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: Jack walked around the horses.Jack sighed and picked up the gun, pointing to the poor dying horse. One horse turned and looked at him and made a soft little noise. “We should try,” pleaded Ben. He walked around the horses again, patting on the neck of the big brown one, which made a sad, small groaning sound. Ben quickly got the hay off the back of the snowmobile and spread it around in piles. The horses ate hungrily, and Ben poured water into a pail for them. With one more pat to each horse, Jack and Ben climbed on the snowmobile and drove back down the mountain as quickly as they could to report their news. Paragraph 2: The two brothers went from door to door asking everyone to come and help.They went from the hardware store to the gas station, where they put notices up asking for help. Then they took the snowmobile back up the mountain with more hay and water and some warm blankets. The horses seemed happy to see them. They worked for hours but only made a small dent in the snow. “This is hopeless,” said Jack. He leaned on his shovel and wiped his dripping nose. “Let’s go home. No one is going to help.” “We can’t give up,” said Ben. But his fingers were frozen, and his nose felt numb. Suddenly, a group of snowmobilers arrived with shovels and hot chocolate. They had followed Ben and Jack’s tracks up the trail. They tried everything they could to help the horse to stand up. With the effort of everyone around, the horses finally struggled to their feet.

The Guadalupe River overflowed, flooding neighborhoods and washing away roads and bridges. Hundreds of people had to leave their homes. Officials say this is the worst flooding the region has seen in years. Below is the breakdown of damages by county. County Economic Losses Buildings Damaged Hunt $28 million 85 (including 12 historic structures) Kerr $15 million 62 (including 3 bridges, 2 historic buildings) Comal $5 million 34 (including 2 highways) Blanco $2 million 18 (including 1 historic building) Below were key updates as of Friday night. 1. Casualties & Emergency Response The floods have killed 24 people, and 25 campers from Camp Mystic remain missing as searches continue. Emergency crews including the Texas National Guard have rescued 237 people using helicopters supported by over 500 personnel from federal agencies (including FEMA and the U.S. Coast Guard) that are currently assisting in affected areas. 2. Challenges Rescue teams struggled to reach isolated communities as flooded roads and downed power lines blocked access, delaying critical aid. To make matters worse, early weather warnings had underestimated the flood's severity, leaving residents little time to reach safety. 3. Government Response Governor Greg Abbott issued an emergency disaster declaration for 15 central Texas counties, accelerating state funding for recovery efforts. Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick noted communication outages likely delayed locating missing campers. 4. Recovery Outlook The Red Cross has set up 12 shelters, helping more than 1,200 displaced families. Environmental agencies warn that flooded factories could cause pollution. Meanwhile, transportation officials say highway repairs may take weeks. 1. Which county was most severely affected in the floods? A. Hunt. B. Kerr. C. Comal. D. Blanco. 2. How many people have been saved by emergency crews as of Friday night? A. 49. B. 237. C. 500. D. 1200. 3. What did Governor Greg Abbott do in response to the disaster? A. Ordered search-and-rescue operations. B. Raised emergency funds for recovery. C. Established shelters for affected families. D. Declared a state of emergency disaster. B When you’re bored, do you start scanning through short videos? That might not ease your boredom. According to a recent study, switching between videos or fast-forwarding through them can bore you even more. Boredom is an uncomfortable emotion which can develop when a situation lacks newness or meaning. But it serves a purpose. Boredom signals that there is something more pleasurable to do. This can motivate people to explore their environment and stop investing time in an activity that has little to offer. Katy Y. Y. Tam, from the University of Toronto Scarborough in Canada, is a scientist and psychologist. In 2021, Tam developed a theory called the “Boredom Feedback Model”, stating that boredom happens when your attention shifts from one thing to another. This type of boredom can happen when people start watching one online video, then, fast-forward or skip to the next one. Tam ran experiments with more than 1,200 people, and showed that people switched to new videos when they were bored. These people believed switching videos would make them less bored. But the result was just the opposite. In one experiment, people watched a single video for 10 minutes. Next, scientists asked them to watch seven shorter videos, with the ability to skip to the next. On average, people skipped eight times. When skipping around, people reported feeling more bored, less satisfied, and less engaged than when they fully watched a single video. Growing evidence shows that boredom is on the rise. Bored people often turn to their phones, but report being more bored. Psychology professor Michael Inzlicht, who worked on the study with Tam, said he had been fascinated by rising boredom in recent years. He thought it could be due to a lack of concentration. “When you’re absorbed, you don’t feel bored. When your attention is spread, you’re almost by definition not satisfied,” Inzlicht said. 4. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. Signals of boredom. B. A positive aspect of boredom. C. The purpose of the experiments. D. Motivations of the experiments. 5. According to the “Boredom Feedback Model”, what causes boredom? A. Mind-engaging tasks. B. Changing focus constantly. C. Watching online videos. D. Time-consuming activities. 6. What would people generally expect when skipping videos? A. Boredom would be killed. B. Self-satisfaction would be achieved. C. Attention would be enhanced. D. More information would be obtained. 7. According to Michael Inzlicht, which of the following behavior would help avoid boredom? A. Limiting the time of screen use. B. Aimlessly adopting different activities. C. Engaging in attention-demanding tasks. D. Frequently shifting learning subjects in a short time. C A recent study by Australian and other researchers described what could happen if targets to limit global temperature increases are not met. Nerilie Abram is a professor at the Australian National University’s Research School of Earth Sciences. She warned that the melting of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet could be catastrophic, Abram said, “By 2500, Fast Antarctica could contribute up to 5 meters of sea level rises on top of the sea level rise that we will already have had from Greenland and West Antarctica.” The East Antarctic Ice Sheet holds the majority of world’s glacier ice. It was thought to be less affected by worldwide temperature rises compared to the ice sheet in West Antarctica or Greenland. The study by Abram and other researchers says that if the temperature rise is limited to 2 degrees Celsius, the East Antarctic Ice Sheet should remain stable. In other words, it should remain generally the same size. But the researchers warn that warmer temperatures could cause more melting and increase worldwide sea level by many meters. Abram said, “It gives us even more of a reason to make sure that we are doing everything that we can to not exceed that 2-degree warming level.” The Paris Climate Agreement, signed in 2015, aims to limit global warming to under 2 degrees Celsius. Another Antarctica study published in Nature drew from research by scientists at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in California. The scientists found that the edge of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet has been losing ice faster than natural processes can replace it. Eric Wolff is a professor at the University of Cambridge in Britain. He said of the JPL study, “if we keep to the 2 degrees of global warming that the Paris agreement promises, the sea level rise due to the East Antarctic ice sheet should be modest.” But, he said, failure to limit global warming and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, would risk “many meters of sea level rise over the next few centuries.” 8. What can be concluded from the second paragraph? A. Worldwide temperature rises when glacier ice melts. B. The East Antarctic Ice Sheet will melt down by 2500. C. Greenland and West Antarctica already causes sea level rise. D. World’s glacier ice mostly stays in the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. 9. What does the underlined word “catastrophic” in the second paragraph mean? A. disastrous B. disappointing C. exciting D. delicious 10. What should we do according to Eric Wolff? A. Limit global warming and increase greenhouse gas emissions. B. Keep to the goal of the Paris agreement promises. C. Risk many meters of sea level rise in the future. D. Make the East Antarctic ice sheet modest. 11. What can be the best title for the text? A. The East Antarctic Ice Sheet determines our future B. Researchers: world’s largest ice sheet risks melting C East Antarctica will lead to 5 meters of sea level rises D. The Paris Climate Agreement’s 2 degrees Celsius limit D They say you catch more flies with honey than vinegar. But when it comes to tackling a tricky task, researchers have found that getting angry can also be a powerful motivator. The experiments suggest people who are angry perform better on a set of challenging tasks than those who are emotionally neutral. The study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, details how researchers at Texas A&M University conducted experiments involving more than 1,000 people, and analysed survey data from more than 1,400 people to explore the possible impact of anger on people in various circumstances. In one experiment, students were shown images previously found to cause anger, desire, amusement, sadness or no particular emotion at all. Participants were subsequently asked to solve a series of anagrams (变形词). The results reveal that for a challenging set of anagrams, those who were angry did better — although no difference was seen for easy anagrams. The researchers say one explanation could be down to a link between anger and greater persistence (坚持), with the team finding those who were angry spent more time on the difficult set of anagrams. In another experiment, participants who were angry did better at avoiding flags in a skiing video game than those who were neutral or sad, and were on a par with (同水平) those who felt amusement or desire. “This pattern could indicate that general physical arousal (激起) had a benefit for game scores, as this would be greater in anger, amused, and desire conditions compared to the sad and neutral conditions,” the researchers write. However, no such differences in performance was found when it came to an easier video game. “People often prefer to use positive emotions as tools more than negative and tend to see negative emotions as undesirable,” said Lench, the first author of the study. “Our research adds to the growing evidence that a mix of positive and negative emotions promotes wellbeing, and that using negative emotions as tools can be particularly effective in some situations.” 12. What tasks did the researchers set for the students? A. Catching flies with honey. B. Helping analyze survey data. C. Putting tasks into different categories. D.

Ben started toward the house and found his older brother Jack starting the snowmobile（雪地机动车）to deliver gas to Uncle Mike. Ben jumped on the back and joined him. They set of slowly. The snow was fresh and deep on the remote mountain path. When they arrived, Jack went over with the gas can. Ben looked up the mountain and saw something moving. He got binoculars（望远镜）and saw two animals. Could it be a horse? Jack climbed back on the snowmobile and asked Ben to leave. When Ben told Jack he saw horses up in the snowy trees, Jack didn't believe it. Ben looked back up the mountain, but he couldn't see anything. At dinner Ben told his father he saw two horses up on the mountain today. “If they are horses, they must be trapped by all this snow." said his dad. "If they're trapped, we have to do something," said Ben, his voice rising. His dad looked at Jack. "Well, in the morning go and take a look. Take the gun and some hay（干草）. If they look as if they can survive, give them the hay. If not…"Jack looked serious, and slowly nodded. Ben knew what the gun was for, and his chest went cold. In the morning, they set off in the cold snow. When they got to the place where Ben had seen the horses, they stopped and looked up using binoculars. No horses. They waited for a few minutes. "I see them. They' re horses. Let's take the snowmobile up there. "Ben suddenly exclaimed. They drove the snowmobile in the deep snow and finally reached the place. "Oh no!" said Ben "They're starving!" One of the horses had lost a lot of hair, and their tails were almost gone. Their eyes were lifeless and tired.
