Marie Lantelme! The name struck me from somewhere in the back of my mind. Miss Lantelme, as I called her in my youth, worked as a librarian at the East Meadow Public Library when I was a pre-teen girl.
On one occasion, in search of a book to read, I walked slowly over to the desk taken up by a librarian—Miss Lantelme. Serious, polite, and speaking with the voice of a professional(专业的) librarian, she asked what kind of book I liked to read. I thought about it for a few seconds and replied, “Mysteries(悬疑小说).” When I first learned to read, my grandfather gave me a book called The Smugglers of Sandy Bay. It was written by Ruth Holberg and still takes a place in my book collection.
I sometimes hold it in my hand to reconnect with its mystical power.
Miss Lantelme told me to follow her, and she led me into the mystery part and pointed me in the direction of books written by Agatha Christie. Miss Lantelme handed me a book called The Murder of Roger Ackroyd. I will not tell the ending to anyone who has never read that book, but I loved the surprise that I never saw coming. Every week I dug deep into the works of that uncommon writer whose stories still attract me now.
On one occasion, Miss Lantelme handed me a book written by John le Carré. The title of the book is The Spy Who Came in from the Cold. For years, I waited for each new book by the recognized master of spy thrillers. Of course, I wished Miss Lantelme to hand the new mystery of John le Carré to me.
All these memories flashed through my mind while I sweated my way through my work-out out of breath, giving thanks to the librarians of the world, like Miss Lantelme, who gave me a lifetime of joy, not only the stories.

There’s no doubt that football is the global sport. Though basketball, tennis, and other sports are popular too, nothing comes close to football. Being played in every country in the world, football provides dozens of superstars. The numbers are greater when compared to any other sport, and this drives the popularity of football up. Have you ever wondered when the sport started and became popular?
Football has its origin (起源) in China and has a history of more than 2,000 years. However, modern football originally appeared in Britain in the 19th century. Folk football matches had been played before in many cities and towns, but never on a professional level.
Football became a winter sport game played in different schools. The rules were carried out by each school, and this made it difficult for players to play an official game with each other. It all changed in 1849 at the University of Cambridge that invented a set of standard rules known as the Cambridge rules of football. From that moment, a new star sport was born.
By the early 20th century, football had spread all across Europe. In 1904, FIFA was set up. There are seven original members, including France, Denmark and Spain, FIFA became the governing body for many associations in Europe.
England’s international success improved the popularity of the sport in the country. The league (联赛) in Britain was set up in 1992. From the 1990s, it became a truly impressive piece of football organization, becoming the world’s top football league in the process.
Football is obviously the most popular sport in the world. It is impossible for any other sport to take its place, especially with leagues spending billions of pounds every year to stay in the focus.
8. What is the author’s purpose of writing paragraph 1?
A. To describe the level of football.
B. To introduce the topic of the text.
C. To debate the main idea of the text.
D. To introduce famous football leagues.
9. Where did modern football first start?
A. In China.
B. In France.
C. In Britain.
D. In Spain.
10. Why was it difficult to play an official game before 1849?
A. The rules always changed.
B. There were no common rules.
C. The season made players hard to win.
D. Officials made players misunderstand the rules.
11. How is the text mainly developed?
A. By time order.
B. By space order.
C. By listing numbers.
D. By giving examples.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. B 11. A

Several days of unusual warm weather in northern Greenland have caused rapid melting(融化). “Temperatures have been running around -12.2 ℃-15.5 ℃. It is warmer than normal for this time of year,” scientists said. The amount of ice that melted in Greenland between July 15 and July 17 alone—6 billion tons of water per day—would be enough to fill 7.2 million Olympic-sized swimming pools, according to the report from the National Snow and Ice Data Center. Put another way, it was enough to cover the whole state of West Virginia with a foot of water.
For the scientists out on the ice sheet(冰盖), the warmth has been alarming. “It really makes me anxious,” said Kutalmis Saylam, a scientist who is now working in Greenland. “Yesterday, we could hang about in our T-shirts, which was not really expected. Since Greenland holds enough ice, sea level would rise by 7.5 meters around the world if ice all melted.”
In 2020, scientists found that Greenland’s ice sheet had melted beyond the point of no return. “No efforts to prevent global warming can stop it from finally breaking into small parts,” said researchers.
Aslak Grinsted, a climate scientist, said that they were trying to get flights into the camp so they can ship out the ice cores(冰芯) they had recently collected. But the warmth is destabilizing the landing site. “The weather we are seeing right now is too hot for the ski-equipped planes to land,” Grinsted said. “So we store the ice cores in large caves we have made into the snow to protect it from the heat of the summer.” Scientists made use of the abnormal warmth while they were waiting, playing volleyball in their shorts on an ice sheet at the top of the world.
Grinsted referred to the temperatures as a heat wave, and noted that the possibility of temperatures getting this hot was clearly connected to global warming.
12. How does the author support the topic of paragraph 1?
A. By exploring reasons.
B. By making comparisons.
C. By designing the numbers.
D. By doing some experiments.
13. What did Kutalmis mean in paragraph 2?
A. He disliked wearing a T-shirt.
B. He worried about the warmth.
C. He was deeply impressed by the ice.
D. He was thirsty for enjoying the sea view.
14. What does the underlined word “destabilizing“ mean in paragraph 4?
A. Quitting.
B. Improving.
C. Sheltering.
D. Destroying.
15. What will the author probably do in the following paragraph?
A. Recommend visiting Greenland.
B. Describe how to ship out the ice core.
C. Call on people to protect the environment.
D. Plan to organize a sports meeting on ice.
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. D 15. C
【解析】

warmer than normal for this time of year (气温一直在-12.2 ℃-15.5 ℃左右。

文章第二段讲到“For the scientists out on the ice sheet(冰盖), the warmth has been alarming. ‘It really makes me anxious,’ said Kutalmis Saylam (对于冰盖上的科学家来说，这种温暖令人担忧“这真的让我很焦虑，” Kutalmis Saylam说)”可知在第二段中的Kutalmis的意思是他很担心变暖，故选B。

【14题详解】
词义猜测题。

文章第四段划线单词后文讲到“The weather we are seeing right now is too hot for the ski-equipped planes to land (我们现在看到的天气太热，滑雪飞机无法降落)”可知飞机无法降落的原因是上文提到的“But the warmth is destabilizing the landing site(但这种温暖正在破坏着陆点的稳定)”可知降落地点遭到破坏，带下划线单词的意思是“破坏”，故选D。

【15题详解】
推理判断题。

本文主要介绍了格陵兰岛北部连续几天异常温暖的天气导致冰川快速融化，这种温暖令人担忧。
