文章大意：这是一篇新闻报道。

文章主要讲了极端天气和与此相关的灾难会越来越多，但是人类可以通过早期预警系统拯救更多的生命。

12. The number of weather-related disasters has increased by five times over the past 50 years, the latest report by the World Meteorological (气象) Organization (WMO) said on September. However, thanks to improved early warning systems and disaster management, the number of death from these hazards (危险) has been almost three times less.
According to the WMO, from 1970 to 2019, weather, climate and water hazards accounted for 50 percent of all disasters. Among the top 10 hazards that led to the largest loss of human life during this period were droughts, storms, floods and extreme temperatures. However, deaths fell from over 50, 000 in the 1970s to less than 20, 000 in the 2010s.
“Weather, climate and water extremes are increasing and will become more frequent and severe in many parts of the world as a result of climate change,” says WMO Secretary-General Petteri Taalas.
“That means more heat waves, drought and forest fires such as those we have observed recently in Europe and North America. We have more water vapor in the atmosphere, which is worsening extreme rainfall and deadly flooding. The warming of the oceans has affected the frequency and area of existence of the most intense tropical storms.”
“Economic losses are increasing as exposure increases. But be hind the statistics lies a message of hope. Improved multi-hazard early warning systems have led to a significant reduction in deaths. Quite simply, we are better than ever before at saving lives,” Taalas said.
1. What do we know from the first paragraph?
A．Disasters connected with weather have gone up.
B．The number of weather-related disasters has decreased.
C．The number of deaths from hazards has been increasing.
D．Early warning systems have made disasters decline much.
2. What will happen according to Petteri Taalas?
A．There will be more extreme weather.
B．Extreme rainfall will no longer exist.
C．Water vapor in the atmosphere will go down.
D．Humans will defeat extreme weather in the end.
3. What is hopeful behind the bad news?
A．Improved warning systems will save economic losses.
B．Economic losses are going down as exposure increases.
C．More lives will be saved thanks to early warning systems.
D．Improved early warning systems will control extreme weather
4. Where may the text be taken from?
A．A novel. B．A brochure. C．A magazine. D．A guideline.
13. The royal family is filled with rules, and one in particular might explain why Princess Charlotte is a princess, but her kids likely won't be.
When it comes to the British royal family, one thing is almost always true: they have a pretty confusing set of official rules and protocols. For instance, the royal family doesn't have a last name. And don't forget the fact that Queen Elizabeth celebrates two birthdays every year.
If your head isn't swimming yet, consider the tradition of royal titles. As a British custom, only the daughter of a prince or a prince's wife may be considered a formal "princess". The latter applies to Kate, who is both a princess and the Duchess of Cambridge thanks to her marriage to Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge. And their children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, also bear official royal titles because their father is Prince William.
However, while Prince George's future children will also carry their father's royal status, any children that Princess Charlotte has will not automatically be considered princes or princesses. Why? Royal custom dictates that royal titles are passed down via sons, but not daughters.
"Royal titles are inherited through sons, so if Princess Charlotte has children they would not automatically inherit the titles (his or her royal highness) HRH, Prince, or Princess," Lucy Hume, associate director of etiquette experts Debrett's, told Town& Country.
Of course, exceptions can (and will!) be made. (Learn about every time the British royal family broke their own protocol.) The Queen has offered HRH status to other royal offspring in the past, including the children of Queen Elizabeth's daughter, Anne. Although Princess Anne and her husband, Captain Phillips, declined, perhaps Princess Charlotte will be extended the same offer when her own children are born.
1. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “protocols” in the second paragraph? A．Promise. B．Behavior.
C．Manners. D．Connection.
2. What kind of child is regarded as "princess"?
A．The son of a princess. B．The daughter of a prince.
C．The daughter of a princess. D．The wife of a king.
3. Who is Charlotte's father?
A．Prince George. B．Elizabeth.
C．Prince William. D．Captain Philips.
4. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?
A．Any person can break traditional rules.
B．Not every person must obey traditional rules.
C．Any British royal family member has their own title.
D．Maybe the British royal family will break their own rules.
14. Corporate culture is the values and beliefs a company develops over time.The role of corporate culture isto improve a company’s mission and strategies,with long-term hopes of improvements in a company’s profit.Mostly corporate culture comes from a company’s top management.
One role of corporate culture is to influence employee behavior, honesty, and compliance（服从）. A company does not have to necessarily create a direct influence for these actions.A direct influence may be a setof written regulations or other policies,and while these may be in place,the corporate culture is usually moreof an indirect influence.
While many companies try to create corporate culture through the use of written policies,its role isharder to define.The human factor has an influence on how corporate culture is expressed.The way uppermanagement acts and reacts to various situations defines how lower-level employees will act,and this aspectmay be more important than any written policy.
A co mpany’s corporate culture can also extend beyond the walls of the business. Consumers who believe a company to be honest and forthright（直率）may be more loyal in their buying behavior. Employees in a company’s customer service department can also exhibit positive corporate culture to outside individuals.Inthis case,the culture creates a link between the company’s employees and its customers.How customers reactmay be a direct result from the company’s corporate culture.
Product quality can also be influenced b y a company’s corporate panies that focus only onprofits may decide to avoid high-quality materials in products,but
try to suggest that the products are ofhigher quality than they really are.This negative culture can then result in lower brand loyalty withconsumers.
1. What do we know about corporate culture from this passage?
A．It is a set of rules and regulations.
B．It is the way the employees act.
C．It is the values and beliefs of a company.
D．It is the long term hope of a company.
2. Which of the following is more efficient in creating corporate culture? A．Making a set of rules and regulations.
B．Setting an example for the employees.

B．Corporate culture has different functions.
C．Without corporate culture,a company will die.
D．Positive corporate culture can promote sales.
4. Which word can describe the companies mentioned in the last paragraph? A．Creative. B．Efficient.
C．Dishonest. D．Disloyal.
15.
In Darrel Gregory’s encouraging picture book I’m Not Very Good at It, a mother suggests a means for her daughter to handle her low self-esteem.
The story centers on a downcast girl, who, when asked to do anything, tells herself, “Okay, but I’m not very good at it.” These words are voiced aloud whether she’s making a birthday card, baking, or helping her mother with a bird house. When her mother asks her why she responds in this manner, the girl replies, “Because that’s what my brain said.” Through a series of playful explanations, her mother advises her to listen to her heart instead. After a few attempts at practicing this new habit, the girl realizes that being good at something----or not!----is not as important as trying.
The story’s repetitive structure emphasizes its therapeutic message about stopping self-doubting talk and about practicing stillness. Though perfectionism and fear of failure are possible explanations for the girl’s behavior, the specific reasons and context for her self-doubt are absent. It is a depersonalized story whose heroine is generic, nameless, and tough to connect with. She is preschool-aged, but is asked to possess great self-awareness about her own personality and to shift her own features----it happens too early for a preschool-aged child, if not idealistic.
Ari Miller’s soft illustrations(插图) make the text vivid. Their detailed home scenes portray the girl’s activities. They are faithful depictions of the story that track the girl’s emotional change through subtle facial expressions. The girl’s mother is left out of these images, though her advice and support is one of the main features of the story.
Sincere in its description of growing past self-doubt, the picture book I’m Not Very Good At It encourages positive outlooks.
1. What type of writing is the text?
A．A report B．An advertisement.
C．A review. D．An announcement.
2. The word “downcast” in second paragraph is closest in meaning to _____________.
A．confident B．shy C．depressed D．courageous
3. What can we learn about the story from the passage?
A．The girl follows her heart and grows stronger with few attempts.
B．The mother encourages her daughter to build up self-esteem.
C．Ari Miller’s illustrations describe the mother’s activities.
D．The story just centers on how to practice stillness.
4. What’s the writer’s attitude towards Darrel Gregory’s book?
A．Indifferent. B．Supportive. C．Negative. D．Critical.

文章主要讲述了珠穆朗玛峰上垃圾的处理给了我们一个关于如何处理太空垃圾的思路。

17. Directions: After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.
Now, Mount Everest is actually an interesting comparison of a new
approach 1 how we deal with garbage produced in the course of space exploration, as it’s often given the dubious hono r(耻辱) of being the world’s highest garbage dump. Decades after the first conquest of the world’s highest peak, tons of rubbish left behind by climbers 2 (start) to raise concern, and you may have read in the news that there’s expectation 3 Nepal will crack down on mountaineers with stricter enforcement of penalties and legal obligations. The goal, of course, is to persuade climbers to clean up after themselves, so maybe local not-for-profits will pay climbers who bring down extra waste, or expeditions might organize voluntary cleanup trips. And yet still many climbers feel that independent groups 4 police themselves. There’s no simple or easy answer, and even well-intentioned efforts at conservation often run into problems. But that do esn’t mean we shouldn’t do 5 is in our power to protect the environments that we depend on, and like Everest, the remote location and inadequate infrastructure (基础设施)of the orbital environment make waste disposal a challenging problem. But we simply cannot reach new heights and create an even higher garbage dump, 6 out of this world.
The reality of space is that 7 a component on a satellite breaks down, there really are limited opportunities for repairs, and only at great cost. But what if we were smarter about 8 we designed satellites? What if all satellites, regardless of what country they were built in, had to be standardized in some way for recycling, servicing or active deorbiting (脱离轨道)? What if there actually were international laws that enforced end-of-life disposal of satellites instead of moving them out of the way as a temporary solution? Or maybe satellite manufacturers need 9 (charge) a deposit to even launch a satellite into orbit, and that deposit would not be
returned 10 the satellite was disposed of properly. Or maybe a satellite needs to have technology on board to help accelerate deorbit.
八、读后续写(书面表达)
18. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

When I was about six years old, my family and I went to Disneyland one weekend and had a wonderful day full of excitement. Little did I know that the real excitement wasn’t to begin until that night.
While we watched the fireworks, I began to get an urge to go to the restroom, but I didn’t want to miss the show. I overh eard my sister Isabel talking to my mom, and I got closer to them to hear what they were talking about.
“Mom, I’m going to the bathroom with Lizette, okay?” said Isabel.
“Okay,” my mom replied, “but stay together. I don’t want any of you getting lost. ”
Th e second I saw my sisters leaving, I didn’t think twice before running after them—without telling my parents. As I followed them through the huge crowd of people, I started to lose sight of them. I began to panic as I scanned the crowd for them. Crazy thou ghts ran through my head like “What if I never see my family again?”
I gave up trying to find my sisters and tried to get back to my family, but I was completely mixed up. After searching for what seemed like forever, I couldn’t hold back my tears, and I started crying like I had never cried before.
“Mommy!” I cried out. But everyone around me was too caught up by the fireworks to pay any attention to me.
I tried to stop the scary thoughts that were going through my head and started running as fast as I cou ld...anywhere...everywhere. I was going crazy. I’m only six, and I’ve gotten lost. “What have I done? How could I have been so dumb to run off without telling anyone?” I thought.
With my face wet from tears, I kept running, pulling at people’s pants and cr ying, “Mommy!” I was hoping, wishing, that one of these adults would be one of my parents.
