21、Sometimes we may find that every week there are a lot of new stories about how climate change is affecting the planet, or new plans to battle its effects like the one announced by President Barack Obama the other day. But the concept itself isn't new at all --- in fact, scientists have been exploring questions about climate change for almost 200 year.

The idea of “greenhouse gases” goes back to 1824, when Joseph Fourier wondered what was regulating the earth's temperature. Fourier concluded that the atmosphere must be responsible for containing the heat absorbed from the sun and described it as a box with a glass lid: As light shines through the glass, the inside gets warmer as the lid traps the heat. As Fourier's ideas spread, it came to be called “the greenhouse effect”.

Scientists continued to study the greenhouse effect. Until a Swedish chemist named Svante Arrhenius came along, scientists understood how global warming actually works. After years of work, Arrhenius determined that the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere did in fact have a direct effect on global temperatures.

Arrhenius found that CO2, and other gases trap radiation, which warms the atmosphere. Arrhenius was the first to suspect that burning coal could contribute to the greenhouse effect. But Arrhenius welcomed the warming effect on the planet. At a lecture later that year, Arrhenius noted that creatures of a warmer earth “might live under a milder sky and in less barren surroundings”.

While Arrhenius' findings won him the 1903 Nobel Prize in chemistry, scientists kept debating whether the greenhouse effect was increasing until 1950, when researchers finally began to find strong data supporting it. By the end of the 1950s, American scientists had been sounding the alarm on the long-term consequences of climate change. Climate change research has come a long way since Fourier first described the greenhouse effect – still, maybe Arrhenius should have been more careful of what he wished for.

【1】What can we know from Paragraph 1?

A. Climate change has caused terrible disasters.

B. The topic of climate change has been talked a lot.

C. Scientists should work harder to research climate change.

D. The whole world should cooperate to protect the environment.

【2】What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A. The atmosphere.

B. The idea.

C. The earth.

D. The earth's temperature.

【3】What's the main idea of Paragraph 3?

A. Serious consequences of climate change.

B. The history of studying the greenhouse effect.

C. Significant research findings about climate change.

D. Scientists' doubts about the cause of global warming.

【4】What did Arr henius think of the greenhouse effect?

A. It was beneficial for creatures on the earth.

B. It was totally responsible for climate change

C. It brought more troubles than benefits to human beings.

D. It worked as a punishment for human harmful activities.

【5】What's the author's attitude towards Arr henius' expectation?

A. Cautious.   B. Defensive.   C. Positive.   D. Negative.

22、   My neighbor Orlando is a paramedic (急救医士). He and his wife are some of the nicest people I have ever met. A few years back we started this sort of “favor war”, where one of us would do something for the other, such as shoveling (铲) their driveway or helping them build a shed, and next time the other would try to top it with another favor.

Yesterday morning there was maybe 2 or 3 feet of snow on the ground and I remembered he shoveled my driveway for me last snowfall. So I took out my shovel and took care of both our sidewalks and driveways because it was my turn to do a favor back. It took a while but I finished and got into my car for work. What I didn’t realize was that Orlando had to work that day too.

Fast forward to this morning I got a knock on my door. It was him. He immediately shook my hand and informed me that because I shoveled his driveway and sidewalk for him, he was able to get to work earlier. As soon as he started his shift, a call came through that a young boy was in a medical emergency. Luckily he and his partner were only about 2 minutes away, but the next closest ambulance was in 10 minutes. This kid did not have 10 minutes. He barely had 2 minutes. Because my neighbor got to work sooner, the young boy got to live his life.

This isn’t a humble brag (吹牛). This is to inform others that even the smallest favors can have the biggest impacts. It wasn’t too much of trouble to shovel his driveway for him, but because I did, the young kid got to see his family again, go back to school again, talk to his friends again and live his life.

【1】What can we know about the writer and Orlando?

A. They once had a conflict.

B. They signed a favorable agreement.

C. They favor shoveling snow together.

D. They are always ready to help each other.

【2】Who saved the boy before it was too late?

A. The writer. B. The boy’s parents.

C. Orlando and his wife. D. Orlando and his partner.

【3】What does the writer intend to tell us?

A. Never ask for trouble. B. No favor is too small.

C. One cannot always be lucky. D. Don’t lose heart in an emergency.

23、If you want to convince the boss you deserve a pay rise or promotion, the solution could be simple — eat the same food as they do. Psychologists have discovered managers are much more likely to instantly trust us if we choose the same dishes as them.

During experiments, discussions over wages and work conditions were much more successful if both sides chose to snack on the same treats. And shoppers were much more likely to buy a product advertised on TV by someone eating a similar food to them at the time.

The reason is thought to be so-called similarity attraction theory — where people tend to like others who have similar tastes or habits to themselves. But this is believed to be one of the first studies highlighting the role of food in this relationship. Researchers at Chicago University in the US conducted a series of experiments to examine food’s role in earning trust.

In a test, participants were told to watch TV — where someone pretending to be a member of the public praised a certain product. The volunteers were given Kit Kat bars to nibble (咬), while the TV people ate either a Kit Kat or grapes as they talked.

The results showed viewers were much more likely to express an interest in buying the product if the TV showed the other person eating a Kit Kat too.

The researchers added, “Although similarity in food consumption is not a sign of whether two people will get along, we find consumers treat this as such. They feel more trusting of those who consume as they do. It means people can immediately begin to feel friendship and develop a bond, leading to smoother transactions (交易) from the start.”

Harley Street psychologist Dr. Lucy Atcheson said it was already known that wearing similar clothes could instantly create trust. But this was the first report that food had the same effect. She said, “This is really interesting. It makes sense as people feel they have common ground and can trust the other person. That means negotiations are more likely to be successful.”

【1】According to the passage, customers are likely to buy a product from a dealer who ______.

A. reduces the price of his products

B. advertises his products on TV

C. has the same taste as them

D. pays attention to the quality of his products

【2】The experiments conducted by researchers at Chicago University show that ____.

A. bosses like employees that have the same taste as them

B. food plays an important role in earning people’s trust

C. people who have similar tastes to their boss’s earn more

D. people have less interest in buying products advertised on TV

【3】What can be inferred from the passage?

A. The effect of wearing similar clothes hasn’t been proved by researchers.

B. People are more likely to make friends with those wearing the same clothes as them.

C. People who eat similar food are more likely to trust each other.

D. People will get along with each other if they like to eat similar things.

【4】Which of the following sayings can be an example of the similarity attraction theory?

A. Honesty is the best policy.   B. All good things come to an end.

C. Where there is a will, there is a way.   D. Birds of a feather flock together.

24、   You can either travel or read, but either your body or soul must be on the way. The popular saying has inspired many people to read or go sightseeing. Traveling, just like reading, is a refreshing journey from the busy world. Books, brain food, can keep you company on your travel.
