22、No trees are seemingly cut down every time you search something or read a social media post on your phone or laptop. But websites alone do create emissions (排放)—internet usage is responsible for almost four percent of global emissions. That might not seem like a lot, but it is equivalent to about the same emissions caused by global air travel. That percentage is predicted to almost double by 2025 according to a post by Brussels-based energy magazine Energuide. And internet usage is on the rise—as the pandemic pushed many jobs and education online, internet usage went up as high as 40 percent.

The emissions caused by websites come from the hosting company that ensures that websites are up and running when users search for them on their server. By working with an environmentally sound server like Green Geeks, A2 Hosting, and Host Papa that focuses on renewable energy or lowering their energy usage, websites become more sustainable, Wired UK reported. Something as simple as using fewer images on a web page also helps lower emissions. Another way to reduce emissions is to have simply designed websites with little to no moving images like gifts.

Another aspect of creating more sustainable websites means raising awareness, or letting servers or customers in need of new web design know that it’s even an option for them. Some major search engines like Google have promised to reduce their tech centers’ water usage and to rely on more sustainable energy to run their search engines and other online products like Gmail and Google Docs.

Baruch Labunski, CEO of Toronto-based SEO company Rank Secure, explains that when many clients work with the company to have their websites designed, they don’t often think about sustainability. Companies like Rank Secure make a point to have sustainability as part of their process when working with businesses who want help with web design by relying on more sustainable data centers.

Of course, lowering the greenhouse gas footprint of your website is just the start of building up a sustainable company. Just relying on some renewable energy to have an eco-friendly website doesn’t make a company automatically eco-friendly.

“We need to think about the overall impact of our businesses.” says Labunksi. “If your business manufactures or even uses singleuse plastics, then your website’s carbon footprint shouldn’t be your primary concern.”

【1】To create more sustainable websites, the hosting company should_________.

A．meet the data needs

B．design new websites with more gifs

C．work with an eco-friendly server

D．improve the education online

【2】What can we learn from paragraph 3 and 4?

A．The clients should raise awareness and consider sustainability.

B．Rank Secure has no sustainable awareness when working with business.

C．Creating more sustainable websites can provide the only option for clients.

D．All major search engines promised to reduce their tech center water usage.

【3】The passage is written to__________.

A．evaluate the methods to reduce emissions

B．inform readers the harm of overusing websites

C．encourage search engines to lower the energy usage

D．call for building up sustainable companies of emission reduction

23、When I was worried my son was coming down with a little something, I remarked that his eating was slowing down a bit.

“I've noticed how fast you eat,” my wife's Auntie Carmel said. I looked down at my plate—the plate from which my food had just been emptied—and looked up at her scientific stare. “I'm not being critical,” she assured me, “and I find it fascinating.” She said “fascinating” the way a polite member of the FBI might describe your recent Internet searches.

“You do eat pretty fast,” whispered my wife by the time I'd placed my knives and forks down. Her mother shared the same view shortly after that, and soon the entire table were unanimous in this opinion.

We were at my wife's parents' home in Dublin because Auntie Carmel was visiting from New York, and it was a good chance for her to meet our son, who immediately adored her. We all adore Auntie Carmel for her ability to speak her mind in a way that never seems rude.

In fairness to Carmel, I do eat quickly. I'm fond of saying it's because I come from a large family. I now realize this makes no sense. There is also the fact that my wife's mum and Auntie Carmel themselves both come from a family of 12. The same is true for her dad. Yet somehow, none of them eat as if their legs were on fire.

It's a habit I picked up along the way, and I might have been permanently blind to it without this intervention. Left unexamined, it might have coloured my parenting, demanding my speed as a default (默认) for my son, for I remarked that his eating was slowing down a bit. For now, at least, he can clear his plate as slowly as he likes.

【1】How does Auntie Carmel feel about the author's eating habit?

A．Disturbing.

B．Embarrassing.

C．Interesting.

D．Puzzling.

【2】What does the underlined word “unanimous” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

A．At a loss.

B．In agreement.

C．In embarrassment.

D．Under consideration.

【3】What do we know about Auntie Carmel?

A．She lives little children.

B．She tends to criticize others.

C．She is skilled at expressing herself.

D．She is particular about table manners.

【4】What can be learned from Paragraph 5?

A．Children's eating habits are not easy to change.

B．The author often has excuses for his behaviors.

C．The family size isn't related to one's eating speed.

D．Children in small families don't need to eat quickly.

24、   Earth’s longest artificial structure is usually said to be the Great Wall of China. Just how long that is is hard to say, for northern China actually has many walls, built at different times and not always interconnecting. Earth’s second-longest artificial structure, though, is not a wall, but a fence. Its length is known exactly. It stretches for 5,614km across eastern Australia and is intended to stop the country’s native feral dogs, the dingoes, which live mainly to its north, from preying on sheep, which are farmed mainly to its south.

Australia’s dingo fence is remarkable. But it does not stand alone. Millions of kilometres of fences wrap the world. Some are intended to control the movement of animals, some the movement of people, and some merely to mark the limits of territory, so that everyone knows who owns what. Even fences built for other purposes, though, often serve to limit animals, too. Such worries are not foolish. Hardening borders in Central Asia, coupled with the expansion of fenced railways, have reduced numbers of another large, endangered mammal, the saiga antelope.

No sitting on the fence, please Smarter fencing can help. In the American West, for example, Montana and Wyoming are mounting campaigns to replace decades-old fences with ones that are more ecologically friendly. The changes required are often small. Making fences low enough for deer to jump over helps.

Adding poles improves a fence’s visibility, stopping unfortunate collisions at speed. And not all wire need be barbed(带倒刺).

There is, though, also a need to paint a clearer picture of where fences are, and to remove those past their prime. Such structures are seldom well-documented and are difficult to pick out in satellite photographs, so doing this can be hard. Jeffrey Masek, a specialist in Earth-imaging at NASA, America’s space agency, suggests instead using commercial drones, which fly at low enough altitudes to capture detailed pictures. Deserted fences are of use to neither man nor beast. To beasts, in fact, they are positively disgusting.

【1】The first paragraph is developed mainly  .

A.by example B.by listing data C.by comparison D.by contrast

【2】Why are people concerned about the fences?

A.They control the movement of animals.

B.They may harm the movement of people.

C.They may go beyond the original purposes.

D.They did harm to environmental protection.

【3】Which of the following is the measure mentioned in the passage?

A.Remove all the current fences.

B.Prevent some unfortunate collisions at speed.

C.Change the height and appearance of fences.

D.Make the fences more appealing in appearance.

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

A.The need to take clear photos of fences.

B.The importance of knowing the location of fences.

C.The damage of the deserted fences to humans and beasts.

D.The tools in helping deal with fences.

25、Pumpkin carving at Halloween is a family tradition. We visit a local farm every October. In the pumpkin field, I ________ with my three brothers and sister to seek out the biggest pumpkin. My dad has a ________ that we have to carry our pumpkins back home, and as the eldest child I have an advantage—I carried an 85-pounder back last year.

This year, it was hard to tell whether my prize or the one chosen by my 14-year-old brother, Jason, was the winner. ________ , we forgot to weigh them before taking out their insides, but I was determined to prove my ________ . All of us were hard at work at the kitchen table, with my mom filming the ________ event. I’m still unsure now why I forced my head inside the pumpkin, but it seemed to make perfect sense at the time. With the pumpkin resting on the table, hole uppermost, I bent over and ________ my head against the opening. At first I got jammed just above my eyes and then, as I went on with my task, unwilling to quit, my nose ________ prevented entry. Finally I managed to put my whole head into it, like a cork forced into a bottle. To my surprise, I was able to straighten up with the huge pumpkin resting on my shoulders. ________ , my excitement was short-lived. The pumpkin was too heavy for me to carry on for a long time. With Jason helping to ________ its weight, I bent back over the table to give it somewhere to rest, but in vain. When I pulled ________ , my nose got in the way. I got into a ________ as I pressed firmly against the table and moved my head around trying to find the right angle, but it was ________ . “I can’t get it out!” I shouted, my voice sounding unnaturally loud in the ________ space.

Eventually, Dad ________ to break the pumpkin with a knife; meanwhile, I realized the camera had been rolling the whole time! My family had an ________ moment that we would always treasure, and my father broke the rule, announcing that both my brother and I were winners!

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一个完整的短文。

Almost all the possessions had been sold to buy food and clothing for the family. At last, nothing was left but the pet lamb, Daisy. At the thought of parting with the little creature, Mrs. Grant’s felt sad because the children loved it very much. Having struggled hard, she had to make up her mind to sell the lamb. But she could not ask any child to go for the butcher. Finally, she went herself with a heavy heart, dragging her leaden feet, and bargained with the butcher for the sale of Daisy.

While the children were all playing with the lamb, the butcher and his boy came to the door. “ You see I am here for the lamb, ” said the butcher in a loud voice. Hearing this, one child ran to her mother’s side, and asked what was happening in alarm. Mrs. Grant gently pushed the child aside, bent down and was about to tell the truth.

“That’s my lamb now, Charlie! ” said the butcher’s boy in a playful tone, going up to Daisy with a rope in his hand.

“No, it is not your lamb. It is ours! ” said Charlie, placing himself in front of it.

But the boy, pushing him aside, threw a rope round Daisy’s neck, and began to drag the little creature away. The poor lamb bleated (咩咩叫) very sadly. The cry of grief which fell upon the mother’s ears was too much for her, and her heart sank within her. In a moment, begging with tearful eyes, the children were all around their mother with voices choking with sobs for their little pet.

“Please tell your boy to stop a moment, ” she said in husky tones to the butcher. The boy, at a word from the butcher, stopped dragging the lamb, and the little creature stopped its bleating.

In a trembling voice, Mrs. Grant explained to them how badly off they were after their father died. She also added that the kind butcher had given the money for Daisy. With this money, she could buy her children bread to eat.
