21、   Brownie and Spotty were neighbor dogs who met every day to play together. Like pairs of dogs you can find in most any neighborhood, these two loved each other and played together so often that they had worn a path through the grass of the field between their respective houses.

One evening, Brownie's family noticed that Brownie hadn't returned home. They went looking for him with no success. Brownie didn't show up the next day, and despite their efforts to find him, by the next week he was still missing. Curiously, Spotty showed up at Brownie's house alone. Barking, whining and generally pestering Brownie's human family. Busy with their own lives, they just ignored the nervous neighbor dog.

Finally, one morning Spotty refused to take "no" for an answer. Ted, Brownie's owner, was steadily harassed by the furious, adamant little dog. Spotty followed Ted about; barking insistently, then darting toward nearby empty lot and back, as if to say, "Follow me! It's urgent!"

Finally, Ted followed the frantic Spotty across the empty lot as Spotty paused to race back and bark encouragingly. The little dog led the man under a tree, past clumps of trees, to a desolate spot a half mile from the house. There Ted found his beloved Brownie alive, one of his hind legs crushed in a steel leg hold trap. Horrified, Ted now wished he'd taken Spotty's earlier appeals seriously. Then Ted noticed something quite remarkable.

Spotty had done more than simply led Brownie's human owner to his trapped friend. In a circle around the injured dog, Ted found an array of dog food and table scraps which were later identified as the remains of every meal Spotty had been fed that week!

Spotty had been visiting Brownie regularly, in a single minded quest to keep his friend alive by sacrificing his own comfort. Spotty had evidently stayed with Brownie to protect him from predators, snuggling with him at night to keep him warm and nuzzling him to keep his spirits up.

Browni’s leg was treated by a veterinarian and he recovered. For many years thereafter, the two families watched the faithful friends playing and chasing each other down that well-worn path between their houses.

【1】What's the correct order of the following?

① They couldn’t find him everywhere.

② Spotty went to Brownie’s master's house to ask for help.

③ One evening, Brownie was missing.

④ Spotty found Brownie and helped him by giving him food.

⑤ They play together happily again.

A.③①②④⑤ B.⑤③①④② C.③①④②⑤ D.③①④⑤②

【2】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A.Spotty took Brownie's food to him every day. B.There was a natural path between the two houses.

C.The legs of Brownie were hurt by the steel trap. D.Brownie disappeared for more than a week.

【3】What can we infer from the passage?

A.Ted noticed Spotty’s earlier actions. B.Brownie’s family were thankful to Spotty.

C.They asked the police to find Brownie for them. D.Spotty led Brownie’s owner to feed him.

22、On Wednesday a powerful earthquake hit Amatrice that was at the epicenter(震中), which is the point in the earth’s surface directly above where the earthquake happens. The town’s clock tower was the only building still standing. Italy’s prime minister said the earthquake had killed at least 120 people, and warned that the number might increase. There were several villages that were affected in farther mountainous areas. The earthquake was also felt as far away as Rome, 100 miles from the epicenter.

Earthquakes can’t be predicted. There are warning systems that can save some lives, but only under certain conditions. Unlike a tomnado warning where radar can see it and issue a warning before it, an earthquake warning happens when the earth is already shaking. We don’t have a system that can predict when the earth is going to shake. Our warning system is based on the fact that the earth is already shaking. The warning depends on how far you are from the earthquake epicenter. If you’re at an earthquake epicenter, you’re going to get no warning. If you’re far away from the epicenter, we can give you some time to prepare.

Another condition is how close the sensor is to the epicenter. If the sensor is 10 miles away from the epicenter, it takes five seconds to get to that sensor. So, the more sensors we get, the more time we’ll get as well. If you get 10 seconds notice of an earthquake that’s happening, especially a big one, you can open up the lifts on the nearest floor. You can also stop all the things that are moving before the shaking gets there. If you’re 30 miles away, your warning could be 15 seconds. It is 15 seconds that can save your life.

【1】What can be learned from the first paragraph?

A．The earthquake happened on Monday.

B．The earthquake destroyed all the buildings.

C．Fewer than 120 people lost their lives.

D．Rome is about 100 miles away from Amatrice.

【2】What can we say about the earthquake warning?

A．It can always give us time to prepare.

B．It is different from the tornado warning.

C．It can tell us how to prepare for the earthquake.

D．It can predict when earthquakes will happen.

【3】How far might you be from the epicenter with 10 seconds notice of an earthquake?

A．5 miles.

B．10 miles.

C．20 miles.

D．30 miles.

【4】What is the best title of the passage?

A．A Powerful Earthquake

B．The Introduction of the Earthquake Warning

C．Earthquakes and Tornados

D．How the Earthquake Happens

23、Up to one fifth of the Amazon rainforest is emitting more carbon dioxide (CO2), than it absorbs, new research suggests. Results from a decade-long study of greenhouse gases over the Amazon rainforest appear to show around 20% of the total area has become a net source of CO2 in the atmosphere. One of the main causes is deforestation. While trees are growing, they absorb CO2 from the atmosphere; dead trees release it again. However, the fact is that millions of trees have been lost to logging and fires in recent years.

The results of the study, which have not yet been published, have implications for the effort to combat climate change. They suggest that the Amazon rainforest, a vital carbon “store”, or “sink”, that slows the pace of global warming may be turning into a carbon source faster than previously thought. Every two weeks for the past 10 years, a team of scientists led by Professor Luciana Gatti, a researcher at Brazil’s National Institute for Space Research (INPE), has been measuring greenhouse gases by flying aircraft fitted with sensors over different parts of the Amazon basin. What the group found was startling: while most of the rainforest still retains its ability to absorb large quantities of CO2 — especially in wetter years — one portion of the forest, which is especially heavily deforested, appears to have lost that capacity.

Gatti’s research suggests this south-eastern part of the forest, about 20% of the total area, has become a carbon source. “Each year is worse,” she told Newsnight. “We observed that this area in the south-east is an important source of carbon. And it doesn’t matter whether it is a wet year or a dry year. 2017 was a wet year, but it didn’t make any difference.”

A forest can become a source of carbon rather than a “store”, or “sink”, when trees die and emit carbon into the atmosphere. Areas of deforestation also contribute to the Amazon’s inability to absorb carbon.

Carlos Nobre, who co-authored Prof Gatti’s study, called the observation “very worrying” because “it could be showing the beginnings of a major tipping point”. He believes the new findings suggest that in the next 30 years, more than half of the Amazon could transform from rainforest into savanna (稀树草原).

【1】Which of the following might Professor Luciana Gatti agree with?

A．Most of the Amazon rainforest absorbs more CO2 in wetter years.

B．The Amazon rainforest is on its way to becoming the biggest source of carbon.

C．Deforested areas tend to perform better in terms of absorbing carbon in dry years.

D．The Amazon rainforest has completely lost its ability to slow the pace of global warming.

【2】What does the underlined word probably mean?

A．Striking.

B．Convincing.

C．Confusing.

D．Disgusting.

【3】What part of the Amazon rainforest has lost most trees?

A．Northeastern.

B．Southwestern.

C．Southeastern.

D．Northwestern.

【4】What might be talked about in the following paragraph? ______

A．Other worrying phenomena about the Amazon.

B．More explanations for the “Amazon tipping point”.

C．Other peopled opinions on effects of deforestation.

D．Comparison between old findings and new ones.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。

When I was seven years old, I went into my parents’ bedroom and saw my mother sitting at her sewing machine making doll clothes. When I asked her who the doll clothes were for, she told me that they were for the poor people, so I never gave it another thought. On the Christmas morning when I opened my present, there were hose beautiful doll clothes. I said to her, “I thought the doll clothes were for the poor people.” My mother just smiled and said, “They are for the poor people. We’re poor.”

When I was nine years old my greatest desire in life was to own pogo stick (弹簧单高跷). I had recently learned to walk on a pair of sticks my dad had made for me, and I thought that if I had a pogo stick surely I would be proud of my unbelievable skills.

When Christmas season rolled around again, I told my mother that the only thing I wanted was a pogo stick. My mother told me they were too expensive and that we simply couldn’t afford one. On a Saturday afternoon a couple of weeks before Christmas, my mom and dad told me we needed to go the Sears to pay our credit bill. While my mother and I were at the counter paying the bill, my dad said, “I’ll be right back. I need to see something in the tool department.” After the bill was taken care of, my mother and I went ahead and got in the truck. Soon my dad came walking out with a long box. I remember wondering at that very moment if it was a pogo stick in that box.

When we arrived back at home, my dad put the box in the barn (谷仓). While my parents were busy with their things, I walked out to the bar and found the box. I was so excited and I knew that as soon as I opened that magical box my bright shiny pogo stick would appear. No such luck! Inside the box was a silly old broom. And so Christmas morning was both great and disappointing. I got some nice gifts but I didn’t get the present that I really wanted.
