21、 Beekeeper Pablo Alvarez sits near his hives (蜂箱) and points up into a cloudless, blue Chilean sky. This season, Alvarez says, there is much less bee traffic than usual. Spring rains once led to fields of flowers in Casablanca, a town on the Chilean Pacific coast. Now, there is just dry earth. He says he lost half of his hives by early spring. “At the end of winter, bees need flowers to grow and make honey,” he told Reuters reporters. No flowers means no food, he added.
His story is common among beekeepers across much of central Chile. A severe, years-long lack of rain is making life difficult for honey bees. Concern over how the changing environment has affected bees has reached the highest levels of government in Chile. The country has already provided large amounts of money for farmers suffering from the drought. In August, it said it would include the “costs” of climate change in future agency budgets.
"We all know the importance that bees have in agricultural production," Agriculture Minister Antonio Walker recently told reporters. Honey bees pollinate (授粉) many of Chile’s major export crops, including blueberries, apples and cherries.
Already, agriculture officials have ordered a state of emergency in more than 100 farm communities throughout central Chile. Though dry periods are normal from time to time, officials say climate change has made the current dry period longer and more severe. Rainfall in September in Santiago was down nearly 80 percent compared to the historical average.
Alvarez has begun taking care of an organic bee yard filled with native, drought-resistant plants. Yet even as he describes those efforts, the horn of a water truck sounds. His well has run dry. Now he must pay for water, too.
【1】It can be inferred from the passage that .
A.100 farm communities are now in an urgent situation in Chile
B.the government has provided beekeepers with agency budgets
C.beekeepers can use the water for free if their wells have run dry
D.the decreasing number of bees will affect the agricultural production
【2】Which best describes the writer’s tone in the passage?
A.Disapproving. B.Enthusiastic.
C.Concerned. D.Doubtful.
【3】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Years-long Drought Threatens Honey Bees in Chile
B.Climate Change Makes the Dry Period More Severe
C.The Decrease in Number of Beekeepers Has Drawn Attention
D.The Drought Calls for the Government to Take Immediate Action
22、 Sophia Joffe is a Toronto-area high school student at Country Day School who created eLearn. fyi : an online database compiled (编译)of more than 300 online learning tools. Students are able to access her website to create an online learning profile where they can manage their studies in an approach.
The Grade 12 student used her own experience shifting from a classroom setting to an online platform as inspiration for her program.
“It was really difficult and it was really stressful knowing that right after the outbreak of the COVID-19 we jumped into a totally new online learning system --- it was quite different from an in-class instruction," said Joffe in an interview with CTV's Your Morning on Friday.
She expected that there would be added resources to help students cope as they shifted to an online learning environment9 but her expectations fell short. Not only were there few available, but resources lacked quality, she said.
Like many students, Joffe is concerned the COVID-19 pandemic has caused learning loss for many students. Her goal isn't only to reduce the stress the pandemic has put on students, but remove learning loss altogether.
As was first reported in the New York Times, Joffe invested $ 19 — the cost of hosting a website -- and created eLearn. fyi. By October, Joffe's online traffic had 500 unique visitors from more than 40 countries. The program categorizes grades from Kindergarten to Grade 12, and then breaks subjects down, making it easier for students to digest classroom material in a simple way. Joffe's website clearly organizes students' classes and takes them to simple apps and websites that help guide them through any given subject.
Joffe hopes the Canadian government will one day work in partnership with tech companies to modernize the learning experience and the platforms like Netflix could pose an opportunity where students can stream classes at their own pace while having their entire education at their fingertips.
【1】What did Sophia Joffe initially think of online learning?
A.It was less different from classroom learning.
B.It really made her feel more or less stressed.
C.It was an effective way to fight the COVID-19.
D.It provided a good opportunity to create eLearn. fyi.
【2】What made Sophia upset at the beginning of online study?
A.Not getting adequate and qualified resources.
B.Not knowing how to obtain study materials.
C.Having no experience on running a website.
D.Finding it a tough job to host a website.
【3】Why did Sophia create eLearn. fyi?
A.To gain some income by investing a small sum.
B.To get her online database far more perfect.
C.To collect some useful learning resources.
D.To give a hand to those who are learning online.
【4】What can be inferred according to the sixth paragraph?
A.The eLearn. fyi has brought Joffe a big income.
B.Joffe has benefited students at home and abroad.
C.Joffe also sells some learning apps to students.
D.The eLearn. fyi creates a similar classroom environment.
23、If you’ve ever felt a rush of intense emotion, then you’ve probably also experienced the crash that comes when those emotions gradually become less strong. Although we usually think of exhaustion (精疲力竭) in physical terms, it can also be mental. One of the contributors to mental exhaustion is high-intensity emotions. Too many of these high-intensity emotions, whether they are positive or negative, can lead to burnout.
Psychologists divide emotions into two dimensions, which includes high and low intensity, as well as positive and negative. High-intensity positive emotions include excitement or elation, while low-intensity positive emotions include calmness, or contentment. When it comes to negative emotions, high-intensity emotions include anger, anxiety, and fear, while low-intensity emotions include sadness, boredom, and tiredness.
It’s easy to see how high-intensity negative emotions like anger can be exhausting. What we don’t think about as much is the fact that high intensity positive emotions are also exhausting, although in a way that feels very different.
Excitement, even when it is fun, involves what psychologists call “physiological arousal”-- activation of our sympathetic system. High-intensity positive emotions involve the same physiological arousal as high-intensity negative emotions. Our heart rate increases, and our sweat glands (腺) activate. Because it activates the body’s stress response, excitement can deplete our system when sustained over longer periods. In other words, high intensity -- whether it’s from negative states or positive states- exhausts the body.
About 15-20% of people are thought to be highly sensitive. As they cycle through the highs and lows of life, the increased amount of intensity leaves them more exhausted than others.
This isn’t to say that we should never feel intense emotions. Emotional variety is an essential aspect of life, one that adds a depth and richness that we need. However, what we need to be mindful of is balance. There will be the exciting days, as well as the days when stress and anxiety are what push you through the tough times, but there are other, lower-intensity emotions that will serve us well in many other situations.
【1】What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2?
A.The functions of emotions.
B.The definition of emotions.
C.The categories of emotions.
D.The expression of emotions.
【2】What does the underlined word “deplete” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

D.Detect the cause of anxiety.
【4】Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A.Why psychologists are more exhausted
B.How high-intensity emotions wear us out
C.Why high-intensity negative emotions are tiring
D.How psychologists explain the effects of emotions
24、Many plastic products we use every day are not able to be recycled. Americans alone throw away 42 million tons of single-use plastics each year, and only 9 percent of that waste can be turned into something else. The rest ends up in landfills (垃圾填埋场), or worse, the ocean.
ByFusion, founded in 2017 in Los Angeles, California, has worked out a way to put all that plastic waste to good use. It uses machines called Blockers to shape all kinds of plastics, even non-recyclables, into standard building blocks called ByBlocks that can be used to build anything. Now, BvFusion has built a pavilion (亭子) for a school with blocks made from locally collected plastics.
“Plastic was not invented to be thrown away,” the company states on their website. “Plastic is strong, flexible, and built to last. This is why plastic isn’t the problem. The problem is that we don’t have a good plan for its future, so now it is packed into landfills, burned at the edges of towns sending poisonous smoke into the air, and there are continents of it floating at sea killing precious wildlife.”
ByBlocks require no glues and are 10 pounds lighter than traditional blocks, making construction work quicker and easier, which means no special labor is needed. They won’t break into pieces like concrete blocks would. They also create zero waste to make — 1 ton of plastic equals 1 ton of ByBlocks.
After years of experiments that cost much, the company has installed (安装) a full production unit in L. A., where it can process 450 tons of plastic per year, and there are 12 more Blockers arriving in U. S. cities soon. The company has set a goal to recycle 100 million tons of plastic waste by 2030, and it thinks the number is within reach. “If we get up to 9, 000 Blocker systems installed around the world by 2025, we’ll make it, ” said founder Heidi Kujawa.
【1】Why was ByFusion set up?
A.To build nature-friendly landfills.

D.To recycle various building waste.
【2】What is ByFusion’s view about plastic?

【3】What do we know about the actual use of ByBlocks?
A.It needs promoting.
B.It’s cost-effective.
