“We know that when sunlight enters the visual system, it activates neural circuits （神经网络）that 54.

Section C
Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is ONE WORD MORE than you need.
Destinations around the world have faced significant tourist reductions amid the coronavirus pandemic. But few have taken a harder（61）than Bali, the Indonesian island long beloved of global travelers. Due to strict（62）control measures and a closed airport, Bali went from receiving millions of international visitors to welcoming just 45 in 2021. The two-digit number accounts for the period between January and October 2021 and was（63）by the Central Statistics Bureau of Bali.
As the island's Ngurah Rai International Airport（DPS）in Denpasar has been closed to international flights nearly all year, those tourists have almost all come via private yachts. Though the airport officially reopened to international flights on October 14, there have so far only been domestic flights in and out of the airport,（64）from Indonesia's capital city of Jakarta.
In order to come to Bali, foreign tourists have to deal with strict Covid-related entry requirements. They must obtain a business visa at a cost of $300（there are no tourist visas at present）, take multiple PCR tests and buy special health （65）. In addition, airfare costs are higher than usual due to the lack of direct flights.
One hopeful visitor is Justyna Wrucha, a UK citizen planning a trip to Bali with her husband. It will be their first visit to the island, which has long been on their bucket list. However, they think that the policies relating to foreign visitors are extremely harsh by（66） a 10-day quarantine on fully（67）people.
Bali's Covid policies are determined by the central government in Jakarta, not by local authorities on the island. Originally, the quarantines were shorter but were recently increased due to fears of the new Omicron（68）. Ray Suryawijaya, head of the Indonesian Hotels and Restaurants Association of Bali's Badung District, agrees with Wrucha. "With all those barriers, it's difficult for us to expect foreign tourists to come to Bali," he said.
However, there is one small glimmer of hope with the gradual return of domestic tourism. Ray reports that the（69）rate of hotels in Bali is now around 35%. "On weekends, about 13,000 domestic tourists are visiting Bali," he adds. While that small trickle of visitors is an（70）note to end the year on, especially for the many Balinese
locals who depend on tourism to support their families, it won't be enough to rescue the 2021 season.
III. Reading Comprehension （1*15+2*19=53分）
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C, and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Brazil’s election offers hope for the rainforest
A presidential election in 2022 will offer a chance for Brazil’s government to reverse policies that have 71 to global climate change. The country is home to 60% of the Amazon rainforest, which has historically been an important carbon 72 . But a worrying study published in 2021 in Nature found that over the past decade it has 73 become a carbon source. The culprits: forest fires and deforestation, which has soared by more than 40% since President Jair Bolsonaro 74 in 2019.
On his watch, environmental enforcement and fines dropped to record lows. Activists say this has encouraged 75 logging, mining, and land-grabbing. In June the environment minister, Ricardo Salles, resigned after federal police began investigating him for alleged 76 in timber trafficking.
A greener president would try to crack down on such crimes. Polls 77 that Mr Bolsonaro is likely to lose the election. His successor could convince Germany and Norway to unfreeze the Amazon Fund, a pot of money for enforcement and 78 development that was withdrawn in 2019 amid concerns about Mr Bolsonaro’s policies. A new president could also revive talks with President Joe Biden, who has offered to 79 a $20bn fund for the rainforest once Brazil starts showing results.
But even an enlightened president will have to battle a 80 Congress, which is considering a number of laws that threaten the rainforest and its inhabitants. These include a land-regularisation bill nicknamed the “land-grabbing law” and a bill that would 81 wildcat mining on indigenous territories. In August thousands of indigenous people camped out in the capital as the supreme court debated a case that would restrict their territories to land that was 82 when a new constitution was passed in 1988. The court postponed its 83 , but Congress is considering a law that would have the 84 effect.
Better leadership in Brazil could jump-start regional efforts to boost enforcement and find sustainable 85 to deforestation for the rainforest’s inhabitants. But if Mr Bolsonaro wins again, his determination to fill the forest with roads, dams and mines could cause destruction far beyond the borders of Brazil.

Directions: Read the following four passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
（A）
A Swedish power plant is taking reuse and recycle to the next level by burning unusable clothing instead of coal, Bloomberg reports.
Retail giant Hennes & Mauritz, more commonly known as H & M, is helping the utility transition away from coal through its moldy or otherwise unsalable clothing.
The multi-fuel power and heating station in Vasteras, central Sweden, is planning to be completely fossil-fuel free by 2030. It’s the largest station of its kind and Sweden claims it's one of Europe's cleanest. To kick its coal habit, the station is turning to other burnable materials including recycled wood, rubbish and yes, clothes.
“Our goal is to use only renewable and recycled fuels,” Jens Neren, head of fuel supplies at the utility company which owns and operates the Vasteras plant, told Bloomberg.
Johanna Dahl, head of communications for H & M in Sweden, told Bloomberg that the company allows only the burning of clothes which are no longer safe to use.
“It is our legal obligation to make sure that clothes that contain mold or do not meet the requirements of our strict restriction on chemicals are destroyed," she said.
The Vasteras plant has burned around 15 tons of old H &M clothes so far this year, compared with about 400,000 tons of rubbish, Neren told Bloomberg.
Sweden has one of the world’s greenest energy generating systems, and has invested in bioenergy, solar power and electric buses. In 2020, the Scandinavian country announced an ambitious aim to become one of the first nations in the world to end its dependence on fossil fuels. According to the Swedish government, the country has already heavily reduced its dependence on oil, which accounted for 75% of the energy supply in 1970, and now makes up a 20% share.
86. Which of the following can serve as fuel in the Vasteras plant？
A. Fashionable boots in chain store.
B. Old TV sets deserted as rubbish.
C. Wooden furniture in second-hand shop.
D. H & M clothes unsuitable for sale.
87. Which of the following is NOT TRUE about the power station in Vasteras?
A. It uses multiple fuels and generates heat.
B. It is larger than any other station of its kind.
C. It only burns recycled wood and rubbish.
D. It will use no more fossil fuels after 2030.
88. We can learn from the passage that .
A. the Swedish government discourages the development of bioenergy.
B. clothes only take up a small proportion of the burning material.
C. Sweden’s fossil-fuel free plan is almost accomplished by now.
D. Sweden has an ambition to be the cleanest country in the world.
89. What is the main idea of the passage？
A. A Swedish power plant is burning unusable H & M clothes for fuel.
B. The Swedish government aims high and is taking effective action.
C. H & M is looking for a new way to strengthen its position in fashion.
D. Coal and oil are no longer regarded as the primary fuels in Sweden.

Friederike Otto: Weather detective
Friederike Otto has spent the past seven years studying extreme weather events, but even she was shocked when an extraordinary heatwave hit Canada and the US Pacific Northwest in July, shattering temperature records and killing hundreds of people.
Whenever extreme weather strikes these days, people immediately wonder whether climate change is to blame. This is exactly the kind of question that Otto and her collaborators in the World Weather Attribution（WW A）group try to answer quickly. Otto set up a video call with the WWA team and they planned a speedy research study. The team pored over（翻阅,研读）meteorological data to gauge how big the heatwave was, studied climate records for the region and ran computer models to find out how much more likely this kind of heatwave has become, relative to a hypothetical world without climate change. The result: it would have been all but impossible for a heatwave of that magnitude to have happened in the region without human-induced climate change.
“Temperature records were broken by 5 °C in some places,” Otto says. “That’s immense.” Otto, a climate researcher at the Grantham Institute for Climate Change and the Environment in London, helped to set up the WWA in 2015 with the aim of rapidly analysing whether climate change plays a part in extreme heat, cold, downpours, drought and wildfire activity. She chairs the ad hoc（特别组建的）group, which includes about a dozen climate modellers and statisticians.
Until a few years ago, scientists would have been hard-pressed to answer with certainty whether climate change is to blame for specific extremes, and how much more（or less）likely they have become. Many scientists viewed attribution studies critically when the WW A made its first attempts to analyse extreme events—using just one or two climate models without evaluating whether these were able to reliably simulate（模拟）the extreme in question.
This has changed entirely. Otto and her team have developed a strategy that uses climate simulations from as many as 50 models. This approach and the studies generated are now widely viewed as highly robust; they feature prominently in a report issued in August by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a scientific committee established by the United Nations. It is now an “established fact”, the panel said, that rising greenhouse-gas emissions have made some weather extremes—in particular, extreme heat—more frequent and more intense.
Attribution studies are more difficult in the global south, where reliable climate data are often lacking, and where local research capacities are limited. But these are some of the places most at risk from climate change and the extreme weather that it can spark. Otto hopes that lower-income countries will be able to strengthen their research in these areas in coming years, with support from wealthier countries.
“Attribution studies are really essential in terms of understanding human impacts of climate change,” says Emily Boyd, a social scientist at Lund University in Sweden who studies climate adaptation and governance. “The science is shifting our mindsets—it allows us to think about the relation between climate and vulnerability in a completely new way.”
93. What do the first two paragraphs imply?
A. The global heatwave contributes to the decrease of human activities.
B. The heatwaves strike Canada and the US Pacific Northwest every July.
C. Human activities are to blame in connection with the dramatic temperature rise.
D. Such natural disasters as droughts and floods have caused high temperature in the region.
94. The underlined word hard-pressed in Paragraph 4 can be best replaced by .
A. in strict manners
B. in dangerous situations
C. without much effort
D. under great pressure
95. According to the passage, why is conducting attribution studies more difficult in the global south?
A. Because some of the places are less likely to be influenced by the extreme weather.
B. Because most poverty-stricken countries are geographically located in the global south.
C. Because there is a severe shortage of accurate climate data collected from local research.
D. Because rich countries won’t lend a helping hand in facilitating research in that area.
96. Which of the following statements will Emily Boyd most probably agree with?
A. High-income countries conducting attribution studies well suffer from climate change less.
B. Scientific data open a window on how climate change has a negative impact on humans.
C. Climate adaptation and governance is the key to tackling the abnormal temperature increases.
D. The science explores the relation between climate and natural disasters from a new angle.

The Social Psychology of Potential Problems in Family Vacation Travel We think vacation travel can cause problems, but subjects did report experiencing less anger, arguing and tension on the vacation than when they are not. It may mean that American vacation habits help to produce self-fulfilling prophecies: one expects to experience less difficulty and so one does, opposite to another kind of self-fulfilling prophecies a small number of travelers encounter when trips prove disappointing after they see too many movies featuring travel frustrations. But it may also mean that vacations are actually relatively stress free. Moreover, for some of the very reasons that we theorize that vacations should create problems for many families, vacations may allow families to experiment creatively with their pattern of living, which may free families from well laid out territories and role routines to explore new and rewarding ways of relating.
Although the supply of family therapists at national parks and resort hotels are now being advocated, we believe that vacations can be diagnostic of inherent relationship problems. It is difficult to sort out the tensions due to normal vacation frustrations from tensions representing underlying serious problems, but some families with serious problems by using work, school, and recreation patterns and by using privacy and territoriality patterns to keep themselves apart, according to Goffman in his book The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life, when on vacation, may come face to face with the problems they have avoided. These people might be well advised to avoid joint vacations.。
