22、Whether you live in Seattle or the Sahara desert, the time has come to invest in a good raincoat or umbrella, a new study suggests.

As global temperatures continue to rise, more “extreme rain” events—intense, cats-and-dogs downpours—can be expected, said thestudy, published Monday in the journalNature Climate Change. And that, scientists said, means an increased flood risk, particularly for the world’s driest areas. The study challenges the idea that global warming is causingdry areas to become drierand wet areas wetter.

“In both wet and dry regions, we see these great increases in heavy precipitation（冰雹）,” lead author Markus Donat, a climate scientist at the University of New South Wales, told Nature.

Donat and his team collected data from 1951 to 2010 on extreme precipitation events from 11, 000 weather stations around the world, Nature reported.

In that time, the number of days with “extreme precipitation” increased 1 percent to 2 percent per decade.

“We found a strong relationship between global warming and an increase in rainfall, particularly in areas outside of the tropics,” Donatsaid in a statement.

“Importantly, this research suggests we will see these extreme rainfall events increases at regional levels in dry areas, not just as an average across the globe,” Donat added.

Peter Stott, a senior climate scientist at Met Office, told Climate Central that the study’s findings are important, because more violent rainfall and flooding will “challenge our capability to adaptto a rapidly changing climate.”

As Nature reported, the research aligns（结盟）witha 2015 study that found global warming has led to a sharp increase in record-breaking precipitation events. Donat told Nature that his study should come as a warning to world governments.

【1】Which of the following is one of the study’s findings?

A. Global warming is causingdry areas to become drierand wet areas wetter.

B. Extreme rain events can be expected at regional levels in dry areas.

C. Extreme rainfall events increase at regional levels in wet areas.

D. Rainfall increases particularly in the tropics areas.

【2】Why does Scott think the findings are important?

A. The research aligns with a 2015 study.

B. They are about extreme precipitation events.

C. They remind us to adjust to rapid climate changes.

D. The study involves many famous climate scientists.

【3】The purpose of the study is to ______.

A. encourage investors to start business in Seattle or the Sahara desert

B. persuade people to take a raincoat or an umbrella with them

C. challenge the previous findings of research on climate

D. warn world governments to focus on global warming

23、The Book Hive

Norwich

As well as being a favourite of celebrities, this is a front-runner for the nation’s prettiest bookshop, with an expansive glass shopfront and colourful art decorating the walls. It’s home to thousands of hand-selected titles, with an especially impressive art-and-design collection. Owner Henry Layte says, “The Book Hive is like an old-fashioned bookshop, but it’s also contemporary, stylish and fun!”

Mr B’s Reading Emporium

Bath

A huge part of the charm (魅力) of this place is Mr B himself — a former bank trader who gave it all up in 2006 to share his passion for the written word. His enthusiasm must be infectious because his staff are similarly cheerful, handwriting personal notes to the overflowing shelves. “You can drop in anytime,” says one employee. “And we pride ourselves on championing lesser-known titles.”

Barter Books

Northumberland

Under the roof of the Victorian Station lie the free-standing bookshelves, homely carpets and open fires that make up Barter Books. In addition to the thousands of second-hand titles in this bookstore, there are more than 40 glass cases housing rare books. Visitors can also see the Writers Mural-life-size literary figures painted high up on the walls. See if you can spot Charlotte Bronte and Charles Dickens.

Much More Books

Shropshire

Situated in the market town Much Wen lock, Much More Books is the epitome (缩影) of an antiquarian shop. Most surprisingly, historic buildings, an inclusive and well-thumbed collection, and even a book-finder service combine to make you feel as if you’ve stepped back a few centuries.

24、   In the age of online shopping and e-readers, devoted staff and customers keep the doors of Auntie's Bookstore open for 40 years. “When you're in Portland, you go to Powell's Books. When you're in Seattle, you go to Elliott Bay. When you're in Spokane, you go to Auntie's,” said John Waite, the owner of the bookstore. “I can't imagine Spokane without Auntie's,” he said. “A lot of people can't imagine Spokane without Auntie's, either,” Waite said.

Turning visitors into regular customers is important to the store's success. Auntie's markets itself as a destination. A half-dozen book clubs meet there. Most weeks, the store hosts two to four author readings or literary events. “We want people to come down, hang out and experience the feel of having a book in their hands,” Waite said.

Eager readers not only want to read books, but want to discuss them, said Kerry Halls, the store manager. Auntie's offers them that chance, she said.

“You can't go to Amazon and talk to someone about your favorite novel, or discuss what you think of the latest Stephen King's book compared with Pet Sematary,” she said.

To compete with the convenience of shopping online, Auntie's tries to predict what books will become a trend. They store these books in advance. But Waite doesn't sugarcoat the realities of selling books in the era of Amazon and other online retailers (零售店). “Even the big guys can’t make it,” he said, noting physical retailers are striving nationally. As the United States' oldest national bookstore chain, Barnes&Noble has to constantly reorganize to stop the declining sales.

At Auntie's, regular customers are very important to its survival and development. Sales of children's and young adults' books are increasing in recent years. Waite said. “For a long time, older customers have kept bookstores alive, "he said. "Now, it's starting to attract younger people.” Another reason of Auntie's longevity (长寿) is Northwest culture, which Waite said encourages new ways of thinking and the diversity of ideas. "I think it's a great book town, “Waite said. "People are enthusiastic about reading.”

【1】What can we learn about Auntie's from Paragraph 1?

A．It is very popular in the local area.

B．It is a highly profitable physical bookstore.

C．It takes full advantage of the e-business platform.

D．It has a longer history than Powell's Books and Elliott Bay.

【2】What is Auntie's goal?

A．To set up a literary environment.

B．To have more regular customers.

C．To awaken people's interest in reading.

D．To encourage readers to learn about more authors.

【3】What does the underlined word “striving” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?

A．Celebrating.

B．Progressing.

C．Struggling.

D．Compromising.

【4】What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?

A．The future of Auntie's.

B．The major customers of Auntie's.

C．The influence of Auntie's.

D．The reasons for Auntie's longevity.
