21、When a chunk of ice fell from a collapsing glacier (冰川) on the Swiss Alps’ Mount Eiger in 2017, part of the long deep sound it produced was too low for human ears to hear. But the continuous shaking held a key to calculating the ice avalanche’s (崩塌) critical characteristics.

Low-frequency sound waves called infrasound that travel great distances through the atmosphere are already used to monitor active volcanoes from afar. Now some researchers in this field have switched focus from fire to ice. Usually glaciers move far too slowly to generate an infrasound signal, which researchers pick up using detectors that track slight changes in air pressure. But a collapse—a sudden, rapid breaking of ice from the glacier’s main body—is an infrasound producer in large amounts. Glacial collapses drive ice avalanches, which pose an increasing threat to people in mountainous regions as rising temperatures weaken large fields of ice. A glacier “can become separate from the ground due to melting, causing bigger break-offs,” says University of Florence geologist Emanuele Marchetti, lead author of the new study. As the threat grows, scientists seek new ways to monitor and detect such collapses.

Researchers often use radar to track ice avalanches, which is accurate but expensive and can monitor only one specific location and neighboring avalanche paths. Infrasound, Marchetti says, is cheaper and can detect break-off events around much broader regions as well as multiple avalanches across a mountain. It is challenging, however, to separate a signal into its components such as traffic noises, individual avalanches and nearby earthquakes without additional measurements, says ETH Zurich glaciologist Malgorzata Chmiel. “The model used by Marchetti is a first close estimation for this,” she says. Isolating the relevant signal helps the researchers monitor an ice avalanche’s speed, path and volume from afar using infrasound.

Marchetti and his colleagues have set up collaborations around the continent to better understand signals that collapsing glaciers produce. They are also refining their analysis to figure out each ice avalanche’s physical details.

【1】What do we know about ice avalanches?

A．Ice avalanches can be detected through infrasound.

B．Ice avalanches are caused by change in air pressure.

C．Ice avalanches move too slowly to produce an infrasound signal.

D．Ice avalanches pose a bigger threat to people than volcanic eruptions.

【2】Which of the following is an advantage of infrasound?

A．The combination with other relevant signals.

B．The ability in picking up signals in wider areas.

C．The accuracy in locating only one certain avalanche.

D．The sensitivity in tracking slight air pressure changes.

【3】The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 3 refers to ________.

A．distinguishing different parts of a signal

B．adding measurements to receive signals

C．detecting multiple avalanches across a mountain

D．calculating the speed, path and volume of ice avalanches

【4】What might be the best title for the text?

A．From Fire to Ice

B．Nature’s Warning

C．Glacier Whispers

D．Secret of Ice Avalanches

22、University — the best days of my life! I made lots of friends in my student dorm, went to great parties, joined the debating society... and, well, I did some work too — but I must admit that my lecturers were very patient with my tardiness (拖沓).

It is easy to look back at our university days in good ways but the truth is that when we first arrived on campus, most of us were out of our comfort zone. In fact, a survey of students at Imperial College London has showed that 3 out of 4 students experience high levels of stress, or a mental health condition, during their time at college. The survey, conducted by over a thousand students, also found that 70% of those that experience stress do so at least once a week, and 9% of them feel stressed constantly.

Kristy, a student at Exeter University, didn’t enjoy her first days in college. She says: “When I first got to university I don’t think I’d realized that I’d forgotten how to make friends. I’d been with the same school friends for seven years, and so I was trying to balance social success with academic success while learning how to look after myself at quite at a young age."

Dr. Ruth Caleb of the counseling service at Brunei University in London has some tips that should make life easier for students before they set off for university. She says: “Certain things that I think it would be very helpful for students to have put in place are an ability to do the practical things of life — to do the washing, to do the cleaning and so on— being able to cook. Budgeting(预算) is extremely important in university life.” And Caleb adds: “You should learn how to spend time on your own comfortably.”

I graduated and learnt how to take care of myself the hard way. I hope that new students these days remember to acquire some life skills before they make the big jump.

【1】How does the writer feel about his university life?

A. Challenging but wonderful.

B. Busy and tiring.

C. Dull and stressful.

D. Boring but successful.

【2】Which is true about students who first enter university?

A. Most of them suffer from frequent stress.

B. Most of them find it hard to manage their life.

C. They fail to balance social and academic life.

D. They feel as comfortable as they expect.

【3】Dr. Ruth Caleb thinks budgeting is of great importance because it_________.

A. helps students put everything in place

B. helps students live independently

C. makes students' university life easier

D. does good to students’ social relationships

【4】Which is closest in meaning to the underlined part in the last paragraph?

A. Become very successful.

B. Make great progress.

C. Get used to university life

D. Go to university.

23、Mother's Day is traditionally a day for flowers, chocolates and big hugs, when children will have a chance to let their mother feel their love, but Willow Smith did something different for her mom Jada Pinkett Smith. Willow got her mom's metal band back together and stepped into her mom's shoes, giving a special live performance.

Jada Pinkett Smith was the singer of Wicked Wisdom, which she formed in 2002 alongside Honore, Graves, Rio Lawrence and Philip Fisher.

Willow remembered travelling somewhere with her mother on tour with her metal band Wicked Wisdom and watching old home videos, including one where she and her brother Jaden Smith cleaned the outside of the tour bus. “This is the music that I grew up around.

To show her respect for the woman, the 20-year-old star followed in her mother's legendary footsteps and performed one of her favorite Wicked Wisdom songs, Bleed All Over Me, with Jada's band members, including guitarist Pocket Honore and keyboardist Taylor Graves.

Willow brought Jada out from the living room, and then Jada was sent to the driveway safely where the performance was held. The great mother who could always face anything calmly could no longer control her tears when she saw that her own song was being sung by her daughter. Willow and Jada shared a tearful hug for the touching closer.

【1】Why did Willow Smith bring her mom's metal band together?

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。

There was a rich couple who was throwing a big new year party at their house. So they went shopping at the market where everything was of high cost and fixed price. They wanted to maintain their high living standard so they didn’t mind paying a lot for it. After purchasing everything they needed, they called a porter to carry everything and drop it off at their home. The porter who came was of an old age, not very healthy looking. His clothes were torn and he looked as if he wasn’t even able to meet his daily needs.

They asked the porter about the charges for delivering their goods at their home. The old porter quoted just a $20, a price well below the market rate for delivering goods at couple’s home in his cart. Yet, the couple argued and bargained with the porter and finally settled for $15. The porter was struggling to make money for every single meal so he needed anything he could earn.

The couple was very happy thinking how well they bargained with the poor porter and paid him $15 in advance and left after giving the porter their address for delivery. They reached their home and one hour passed, two hours passed, but the porter still hadn’t delivered their stuff（东西，物品）.

The wife started to get angry at her husband, “I always tell you not to trust such person but you never listen to me. Such a person is not even able to earn to feed himself for one time in a day, and you handed him everything we purchased for our big party. I am sure instead of delivering at our home, he must have disappeared with everything. We must immediately go back to the market to inquire and then to the police station to file the complaint against him.”

They both left towards the market. On their way, near the market, they saw another porter. They stopped him to inquire about the old porter and noticed that he was carrying their stuff in his cart!
