21、   Scientists are urging that deep sea metal mining should be stopped temporarily. They warn in a report that it can cause severe and damaging effects on Pacific Ocean areas.

The recently-released report examined more than 250 published studies on deep Sea mining. The research was examined by the Deep Sea Mining Campaign——a collection of not-for profit organizations. The report centers on mining activities related to small metallic particles(颗粒; 微粒), called nodules, found on the seabed. The material can contain different metals. Increasing demand for these metals has led to a rise in deep-sea mining operations. The metals are commonly used in battery manufacturing(制造) and other technology products.

However, the scientists warn that mining for these nodules will cause irreversible（无法复原的）damage to an ocean already under pressure. The operations will affect areas across the South Pacific, including the nations of Kiribati, the Cook Islands, Nauru, Tonga and Papua New Guinea.

The report notes that a moratorium is the only responsible way to move forward until certain conditions surrounding deep-sea mining can be met. The scientists are calling for additional study to fully understand the environmental, social and economic risks.

Andrew Chin is the report’s lead researcher. He says in a statement that nodule mining will likely result in the loss of sea life and cause damage to deep seabeds for thousands of years. He adds that the operations can put people at risk who depend on the ocean and its continued health.

A company planning to be one of the first to carry out mining operations in the area is Canada’s Deep Green, which aims to begin by 2024. It seeks to mine metallic nodules to be used in power systems for electric vehicles. Deep Green Chief Executive Officer Gerard Barron defended the company’s plans in reaction to the report. He said deep-sea mining offered the best replacement for surface mining, which has a long history of pollution and destroying forests and wildlife.

【1】Why are deep-sea mining operations on the rise?

A．More metals are needed.

B．Surface mining is banned,

C．Battery industry is falling.

D．The seabed is easy to find,

【2】Which of the following best explains the word “moratorium” underlined in paragraph 4?

A．Loose measure.

B．Thorough study.

C．Temporary stop.

D．Permanent deal.

【3】What can we learn from Andrew Chin’s words?

A．Conditions surrounding deep-sea mining are great.

B．The damage caused by nodule mining is reversible.

C．Nodule mining can cause harm in various aspects.

D．People are less likely to be affected by nodule mining.

【4】Who holds the idea that deep-sea mining is the best choice?

A．scientists

B．Deep Sea Mining Campaign

C．Andrew Chin

D．Gerard Barron

22、Jeff was diagnosed in 2010 with multiple myeloma (多发性骨髓瘤)．It is a disease that is usually noticed when grandpa falls and breaks his hip. The average patient is in his early 70s. But Jeff was only 50 when diagnosed. “I wondered why me, as a young guy?” Jeff says. But his relative youth and good health has put him in a position to fight the disease in his way.

In next January Jeff and his wife Ramona will join a team climbing to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro to raise awareness and funds for the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation. It’s an adventure he’s dreamed about since the 4th grade.

Jeff will be one of four in the group who are myeloma patients not willing to be threatened by cancer. He and Ramona have raised nearly $ 18, 000 toward their combined goal of $ 20, 000.

Still, he’s confident that his earlier marathon training has prepared him to climb the highest free-standing mountain in the world. “I just have to deal with it and understand my limitations.” he says.

What Jeff sees is a clear future. “Having cancer narrows the focus about what we want to do and who we want to do it with.” he says. He and Ramona now ask themselves, “How do we go out and live the most fulfilling lives? Who are the most important people in our lives? What brings us joy?”

Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is their next adventure, but Jeff knows it won’t be just a personal accomplishment. “I do these things for all the people who can't.” he says.

Jeff is certain that his passion for hiking and adventure will take him to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro and that his story will inspire those with multiple myeloma to keep sight of who they are beyond their diagnosis.

“It’s obvious to me,” he says, “that this is part of my fate.”

【1】What can we know about multiple myeloma according to the text?

A．It’s a deadly disease that can't be cured.

D．It’s a disease that only affects men.

【2】What’s the main purpose for Jeff and his wife to climb to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro?

A．To show love for climbing high mountains.

B．To get enough physical training to be stronger.

C．To express determination to overcome the disease.

D．To raise awareness and money for an organization.

【3】What’s Jeff’s attitude towards his disease?

A．Worried.

B．Optimistic.

C．Favorable.

D．Indifferent.

【4】What’s the best title for the text?

A．Be Strong-minded

B．Power of Independence

23、I believe in the power of science fiction, not just for its capacity to turn dreams into reality, but also for its power to bond together those who share a common view of the future. For me, that’s true for my relationship with my dad. Some fathers and sons bond over sports, fishing or hunting, but my dad and I bond over Star Trek. We tried a trip to Disney World, but one of my earliest memories wasn’t Mickey, but a Klingon battle cruiser on the screen.

Over the years, nearly every setting and situation has become far away for my dad and me. When it’s warm at night, we’re not driving along some dark streets in Indiana, but going at a slow speed with stars dimly shining. Both of us are thinking of them, without needing to say a word. All these imaginations of other universes have together created a private universe for my dad and me.

Gene Roddenberry, creator of Star Trek, once said, “Science fiction is a way of thinking, a way of logic that bypasses a lot of nonsense. It allows people to look directly at important subjects.” A lifetime of science fiction has influenced more than just my relationship with my dad, but has also helped me shape my own hopes for the future. I’m now a science writer.

Yes, science fiction has made me into a “nerd” and it also has been a source of joy for my family, making me an optimist while enabling me to think critically about the danger of technology. Thank those authors who have shared their visions: the world and my family are better for it. Thank my dad, who is both the best storyteller and the best man I have ever known because he helped me realize the truth of Tennyson’s words, “For I dipped into the future, far as human eye could see, saw the vision of the world, and all the wonder that would be.”

【1】What contributes to the bond between the author and his father?

A．Their similar dream.

B．Their love for each other.

C．Their common interest.

D．Their hobby of fishing.

【2】What does the author mainly show in paragraph 2?

A．His deep impression of his dad.

B．His feeling of staying with his dad.

C．His earliest memory of his dad.

D．His good relationship with his dad.

【3】How does science fiction help the author at present?

A．It leads him to pursue a desirable career.

B．It brings him the courage to live better.

C．It inspires him to face the danger of technology.

D．It makes him a source of his family’s joy.

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

A．The Wonders Science Brings

B．The Power of Science Fiction

C．The Stories About Science Fiction

D．The Time Together with My Father

24、My favourite book is The Adventure of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain. Tom lives with his aunt Polly in a quiet street of St. Petersburg, Missouri. He’s a lively and clever young boy, and he finds himself in many exciting adventures. He runs away with his two friends, Huck Finn and Joe, to an island in the middle of the Mississippi River for several days. With Huck he goes looking for treasure, with Becky he gets lost in a cave. And finally, they find a box of gold.

My favourite scene in the book is when everyone thinks Tom is dead. He decides to go to his own funeral. He hides and watches for a time and then suddenly he appears. Everyone is astonished to see him but they’re also pleased to see him alive.

Tom is the hero of the story, but there are other important characters. Huck is an outsider and everyone is afraid of him. Becky is pretty with fair hair, Joe is Tom’s best friend. And Injun Joe is the bad man of the story.

The theme of the story is about children growing up. It describes how strangers are seen in small towns of America. Finally, it talks about freedom, social rules and how people are punished for bad behaviour.

Why do I think The Adventure of Tom Sawyer is a great book? Mark Twain wrote the story in 1876, but it’s still read and loved by people all over the world today. And although it’s only a story, Twain wrote it in the everyday English of the southern states of America in the 19th century, so it sounds very real. Today it’s thought to be one of the greatest books in American literature. Go on—read it! I know you’ll enjoy it, too.

【1】Where does Tom run away with his two friends?

A．To a quiet street.

B．To a small town.

C．To an island.

D．To a forest.

【2】Who is the bad man in the story?

A．Huck Finn.

B．Injun Joe.

C．Becky.

D．Polly.

【3】How did people feel when Tom appeared at his own funeral?

A．They were surprised and happy.

B．They were surprised and sad.

C．They were worried and excited.

D．They were frightened and happy.

【4】The writer writes the article to ________.

A．ask us to read the book

B．tell us how popular the book is today

C．tell us when Mark Twain wrote the story

D．tell us why the story sounds very real

25、Detective Ashley Jones works at a police department in England. He has recently made a significant _______— loneliness is a serious social problem that can contribute to depression and even crimes, but it can be _______ in a clever way. The _______? Chat benches.

Jones got the idea after he had talked with an elderly lady who had been cheated of her _______. The lady would get a call from a stranger every morning who _______ made her believe that he was her friend, and then she lent him about £31,000. Jones was _______ when she said that she didn’t actually _______ being cheated. “Otherwise, I would never speak to another person for weeks on end,” she said.

This led Jones to the conclusion that there are too many extremely _______ people in his community, who are easy targets of cheating. So he _______ to do something about it. He __________ the police department to allow him to __________ a couple of “chat benches” in two of their local parks. Then he hung a colorful sign on each of the benches that __________: “HAPPY TO CHAT”. Just a few days after the signs went up, he found people sitting there and engaging in active and __________ conversations.

The idea is catching on __________. There are now over 40 chat benches throughout England. More new chat benches have sprung up across the UK and beyond. All who participated have gained a(n) __________ outcome from getting involved. Jones’ idea has been fully __________—the “HAPPY TO CHAT” benches help __________ the invisible social barrier that keeps people from saying hello.

This effort is not just a(n) __________ at being community-minded — it’s also a __________ measure. It prevents people who are cut off from society falling victim to cheaters.

The Chat Bench is a fantastic new project that __________ those of all ages to interact and get to know each other in the future.
