For 30 years we have been told how temperatures have been rising rapidly to unheard of levels. This is causing polar ice to melt, sea-levels to rise and has brought about adangerous increase in extreme weather events. These intense climatic changes would likely present challenges to our society and environment.
The causes of climate change are mainly anthropogenic (人为的) in nature. Since the industrial revolution, human activities have increased the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The increased amount of gases which absorb heat has led to more heat being kept in the atmosphere, causing global warming.
The certainty of global warming can be seen through some of the natural phenomena like the effect on crops and extreme weather conditions around the world. The most recent assessment report says that the earth’s average temperature has risen by 0. 74 degrees in the period from 1906 to 2005, and that the average temperature will continue to rise. There have also been more violent downpours, sea levels have risen and the ice
at the world’s poles and on its mountains is melting. The rising sea level is flooding the low-lying countries inAsiaand small islands in the Pacific. This may lead to the displacement of millions of people, loss of millions of land and consequently billions of dollars.
Troubled by the serious situation, world leaders came together for the 2015 United Nations (UN) Climate Change Conference inParis. The climate talks led to 196 countries reaching a landmark agreement that will, for the first time, commit nearly every country to lowering planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions to address global climate change. That was certainly an encouraging step forward for our earth and mankind!
As the world leaders continue to commit themselves to monitor our sick planet, we need to continue to take small steps to heal the world. We are left with not much of a choice. If only we could just pack our bags and migrate to Mars!
4. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. The information of industrial revolution.
B. The greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
C. The reasons of climate change.
D. The result of extreme weather events.
5. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. We have made great achievements.
B. Some measures are still required to take.
C. Mars is suitable for people’s living.
D. Some countries will receive urgent aid.
6. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Long Live Planet Earth!
B.Environment Changes Rapidly!
C. What Serious Global Warming!
D. How Important the UN Agreement Is!
7. Which of the following shows the structure of the whole text?
A. B.
C. D.

Where do you find beauty? Fashion Magazines? Music Videos? One American photographer is finding beauty in unexpected places. And a new documentary about his work might help change the traditional standards of “who” is beautiful.
Rick Guidotti put aside his career as a fashion photographer to turn his lens to people living with genetic, physical and behavioral differences. He says what changed his perception of beauty was a chance encounter with an albino （白化病）girl.
“I was just tired of people telling me who was beautiful. Every season that face would change but I was always told who was beautiful. As an artist, I don't see beauty just on covers of magazines. I see it everywhere. So it was my initial intention that opened my eyes a little wider and wider.” Said Guidotti.
Guidotti has created Positive Exposure, a not-for-profit organization that uses photography and video to transform public views and promote a world where differences are celebrated. Guidotti and Positive Exposure are featured in a new documentary called On Beauty.
The cast and crew recently hosted a screening at Georgetown University in Washington. One of the women featured in the film is Jayne Waithera. “I never thought I was beautiful because nobody said that to me, but meeting him was my profound moment. I remember that particular day he took my picture and I felt so good like I felt there's somebody who, really loves me and sees me for who I am and who sees me more than my condition.” said Waithera.
The documentary is the idea of producer Joanna Rudnick. After seeing Guidotti's photos, she decided to tell his story. Joanna and Guidotti are traveling from city to city to promote On Beauty. “As I travel from community to community, I'm taking photographs and I'm encouraging individuals with a positive sense of who they are. They're seeing beauty in their reflection but I'm also encouraging their families and they in turn are encouraging their communities as well. All is based on the philosophy of change how you see,see how you change.”
8. What made Rick change his understanding of beauty?
A. A girl diagnosed with albino.
B. His job as a fashion photographer.
C. The beauty on the covers of magazines.
D. Influence from the people working with him.
9. What can we infer about Jayne Waithera?
A. She showed great interest in taking photos.
B. She used to be disappointed at her work and life.
C. She was greatly influenced by the experience with Rick.
D. She believed Rick was the best photographer in the world.
10. Which of the following words can best describe On Beauty?
A. abstract and different
B. traditional and academic
C. tolerant and encouraging
D. creative and interesting
11. What's the best title of the text?
A. True Beauty In The Eye Of A Photographer
B. Beautiful Or Not Beautiful,That's A Question
C. Be Who You Are Not Who You Want To Be
D. A Different photographer, A Different Magazine
D
Japan's prime minister encouraged the decision to ban viewers, even family members, by issuing a state of emergency order in Tokyo earlier this month in response to rising COVID-19 case numbers.
From the perspective of sports psychologists, an Olympics without fans is a real-life science experiment that is helping researchers and clinicians to comb through the true impact of a crowd of fans on its players—and on viewers at home. The strange circumstances under which the games are held may place unexpected pressure on some athletes. On Tuesday, superstar gymnast Simone Biles dropped out of the women's team event, telling teammates and reporters she wasn't in the right “headspace” to compete. “It's been really stressful this Olympic Games. There are a lot of different variables going into it,” Biles told the Washington Post.
The 2020 Summer Olympics bears similarities and differences to other major sporting events without viewers. The English Premier League supplemented (增加) game broadcasts with crowd noise from the soccer video game FIFA 20, mixed with game audio in real time. A Taiwanese baseball team and German soccer team began populating stands with cardboard cutouts of fans, and the trend caught on internationally.
Jamey Houle, the lead sports psychologist for Ohio State University Athletics and a former Al-American gymnast, says competitive athletes are trained in visualization— imagining performing a certain action or motion, such as doing a roundoff back handspring in gymnastics. Without moving a muscle, players using visualization can
solidify neural (神经的) connections and activate their motor cortex (皮层). To visualize most effectively, Houle says, athletes working with sports psychologists will try to simulate as closely as possible the conditions of actual gameplay. Empty stadiums may thus have a measurable impact on players' performance. This phenomenon is grounded in a psychological concept called “social facilitation”, referring to a change in a person's performance that occurs when others are around compared to when a person is alone.
12. What caused Biles to drop out of the women's team event?
A. The poor physical condition.
B. The absence of the audience.
C. The fiercely competitive event.
D. The influence of crowds of fans.
13. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?
A. The Taiwanese baseball team is a success.
B. The tendency mentioned is popular among some sporting events.
C. The 2020 Summer Olympics is stricter in preventing the pandemic.
D. The crowd noise plays a leading role in the English Premier League.
14. How does Houle explain the impact of empty stadiums on players' performance?
A. By doing a roundoff back handspring.
B. By simulating the conditions of actual gameplay.
C. By using the concept called social facilitation.
D. By changing the viewers of a player.
15. What message does the author mainly convey in the text?
A. Athletes should be trained in visualization.
B. Audience should be admitted to the Olympics.
C. Social facilitation is helpful to sporting events.
D. Viewers present may influence players' performance.

I graduated from high school 15 years ago. While I am at school, I began thinking different and making better choices. I also joined in some school clubs. These helped me grow as person. I also learned how to choose friends which encourage me, guide me and listening to my thoughts. That's why I'm peaceful, confident or happy now. There's no rooms in my life for negative people nowadays. When I think back to those high school memories, we seem like a lifetime ago. Although those times are over, they still play a great role for promoting my current work and life.

本文是记叙文，作者回忆了自己在高中的时候是如何调整自己的心态，如何积极地生活。

【51题详解】
考查时态。

句意：当我上学时，我开始以不同的方式思考，并做出更好的选择。

根据后文的began，可知是一般过去时，所以am需要变成过去式was，故将am改成was。

【52题详解】
考查副词。

句意：当我上学时，我开始以不同的方式思考，并做出更好的选择。

此处需要副词修饰动词think，故将different改为differently。

【53题详解】
考查固定搭配。

句意：我也加入了一些学校的俱乐部。

join clubs表示加入俱乐部，是固定搭配。

故将in去掉。

【54题详解】
考查冠词。

句意：这些帮助我成长为一个人。

person是可数名词，首字母的发音为辅音音素，此处表示泛指，应该用不定冠词a修饰，故在person前面加a。

【55题详解】
考查定语从句。

句意：我也学会了如何选择那些鼓励我、引导我、倾听我想法的朋友。

friends后面的从句是定语从句，修饰friends，先行词friends是人，在从句中做主语，关系词应该用who或that。

故将which 改为who/that。

【56题详解】
考查动词原形。

句意：我也学会了如何选择那些鼓励我、引导我、倾听我想法的朋友。

listen和前面动词encourage和guide并列，主语是friends，所以此处listen应该用原形形式。

故将listening改为listen。

根据句意，peaceful, confident和happy是并列关系，应该用and连接，故将or改为and。

【58题详解】
考查不可数名词。

句意：现在我的生活里没有消极的人。

根据句意，此处表示没有空间，room作为“空间”时是不可数名词，没有复数形式，故将rooms改为room。

【59题详解】
考查人称代词。

句意：当我回想起那些高中的记忆时，它们好像是很久以前的事了。

此处指代前面的memories，应该用第三人称复数they，故将we改为they。

【60题详解】
考查介词。

句意：虽然那些日子已经过去了，但是它们仍然对我现在的工作和生活起到了很大的推动作用。

play a great role in表示“在…...中扮演着重要的角色”，是固定搭配，故将for改为in
