21、   A quick look at Instagram will show you thousands of girls sharing their clothing of the day. Many of these girls are sharing completely new clothes every day. And they’re feeling the pressure to never repeat clothes. This attitude of not being able to wear something again after sharing it on Instagram is far too common. It is a sad thing when some girls feel sorry for appearing in the same clothes more than once on Instagram.

Clothes businesses push new “must –haves” every week, which adds to the pressure to keep up. Clothes have been so cheap because of the competition between clothes businesses that it’s shockingly easy to buy new clothes every day. These clothes businesses have made it possible for a normal person to never be seen in the same clothes twice. Often the quality of these clothes is so low that they don’t even survive the wash so there is no chance of that second wear.

Consider everything that goes into making a single piece of clothing-for example: plenty of water, energy and petrochemicals, finishing and labor of each worker throughout making it. It’s shocking to think after all this, a piece of clothing might be worn once, maybe twice, and then thrown away so that they can follow fast fashion.

The fashion of throwing clothes away after use needs to change. Proudly post the same clothes you’ve worn before online. Get creative with mixing and matching, and borrow from friends for special times. The possibilities are endless so there’s no need to shop frequently.

【1】What is a sad thing according to the first paragraph?

A．Some girls like showing off on the Internet.

B．Some girls spend too much time on social media.

C．Some girls care too little about their appearances.

D．Some girls feel ashamed to post the same clothes online again.

【2】What leads to the girls’ wearing the same clothes only once?

A．Online shopping.

B．Parents’ pressure.

C．Clothes businesses.

D．Laziness to wash clothes.

【3】Why does the author mention how a single piece of clothing is made?

A．To show fast fashion’s great effect.

B．To tell us we should treasure clothes.

C．To show the development of the clothes industry.

D．To tell us we should have our own dressing styles.

【4】What does the author want to do in the last paragraph?

A．Offer reasons.

B．Give suggestions.

C．Give encouragement.

D．Promote a fashion brand.

22、   Born and raised in Michigan, I knew the move to Phoenix would bring profound changes to my life. Accustomed to a lifetime in a state with a beautiful landscape, I wondered about the life I’d find in the desert southwest.

The first weekend after my arrival, my new relatives hosted a “welcome to the family” party for me. Standing in the backyard, amazed by the “dry heat” in August, I watched in frozen fascination as a flying creature came from nowhere and buzzed my head!

I swatted (拍打) at it so hard that I spun myself around, lost balance and fell onto the lawn—in front of my new family! My husband ran over to me and as he helped me get up, asked what had happened. “The biggest bee I ever saw just dive-bombed my head, so I tried to swat him away!” He broke out in laughter and pointed to the hummingbird feeder. “You mean that? Just then, I realized that swatting at a hummingbird taught me a profound lesson.

In our lives, many times good things come to us in unexpected ways. Pleasant surprises, happy coincidences and even “dumb luck” impact our well being. Often, we don’t even know the gifts exist, much less do we hold any expectation of receiving them, and consequently we travel through life unprepared to receive the good that comes into our lives “out of the blue”.

The hummingbird symbolizes something new and beautiful entering into our lives. Our first reaction may be to push it away, denying a gift from Spirit in whatever form it takes because we can’t accept something we’ve never experienced before.

When I grew to appreciate the desert with beautiful flowers fully open, I realized the tiny bird’s contribution to the delicate balance of the life cycle. Only then did I understand how essential its role is in the desert natural habitat.

When we can figure out what the new good means to us, then we can appreciate the gift and include it in our daily enjoyment. Adding positive elements to our world excludes nothing, but rather makes the flight around the sun much more enjoyable!

24、Extreme heat often brings extreme wildfires, and this year is no exception, with unprecedented heat waves fueling enormous outbreaks of fires in the western United States and Canada as well as across the Mediterranean and in Siberia. But paradoxically the most intense wildfires can have the opposite effect on temperatures, cooling Earth’s surface both regionally and globally.

Dense wildfire smoke can temporarily block sunlight near the ground, causing regional temperatures to drop by several degrees. Wildfire smoke can also have global cooling effects by making clouds in the lower atmosphere more reflective or blocking sunlight in the upper atmosphere, similar to what a volcanic eruption does.

The effect is far too small to counteract（抵制，抵消）human-caused global warming; researchers say it’s too early to predict what it means for the broader climate system. But with fire seasons growing more intense around the world and triggering a range of extreme fire weather in North America and elsewhere, the search for answers is growing increasingly urgent.

Smoke particles act as seeds for water vapor to form clouds that are smaller and reflect more sunlight. While smoke tends to rain out of clouds fairly quickly, the Australian bushfires raged for months, pumping more and more cloud-brightening smoke into the atmosphere. “It’s not a big effect, but when you integrate over the entire Southern Ocean. it adds up” one of the researchers says.

While this research highlights the cooling effects of smoke in the lower atmosphere, on occasion, wildfire smoke can reach even higher altitudes into the stratosphere, the layer that starts about 10 miles up. There, it can have additional effects on the climate. Smoke reaches the stratosphere when heat from a powerful wildfire creates an updraft that combines with moisture in the atmosphere to generate towering thunderclouds.

However, scientists have only recently begun studying these effects. “We might still be in the infancy of understanding how large and how important the effects of these wildfires are.” scientists say.

C．Wildfire can be beneficial to the earth to some extent.

D．The cooling effects of smoke from wildfire is not limited to lower atmosphere.

A．The importance of wildfires is completely ignored.

B．Humans understanding of wildfires is still limited.

C．Scientists fully understand the effects of wildfires.

D．Wildfires are the consequences of global warming.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Sock-eater ants are made-up animals with the best intention ever.

“Ow!Ow!” I shouted as I broke my jump rope rhythm and trapped my feet in the loose rope. “Something in my shoe is biting me,” I screamed. My teacher, Miss Bell, heard me and hurried over. “Which foot is it?” she asked. I stuck up my right foot as she bent over to inspect it. Just then, feeling a new sting, I yelped in pain. “Here. Let’s take off your shoe.” Instructed Miss Bell, squatting down to get the shoe.

Then, I remembered the holes in my socks. Welfare socks didn’t last long. Holes in socks were common for our family in the years following the Great Depression. Socks with holes in the heels often got pulled down so the hole wouldn’t show. Where there was a hole, there would soon be a blister. Every week as she washed our clothes, Mama would say, “Even if we’re poor and our clothes are worn out, we can still be clean.”

I refused to let Miss Bell take off my shoe. I could not bear for her and the others on the playground to see the hole in my faded red sock. “Come on, then. Let’s go inside to the office.” I did my best to hold back my tears. Yet, each time the thing in my shoe stung me, I would let out aloud, “Oh, oh, oh!” Tears raced down my twisted face.

Miss Bell lifted me onto the desk and tried again. “Let me take a look.”She just about had the shoe off when I saw the hole. I grabbed the shoe and pulled on and held it. The stinging worsened the tighter I grabbed the shoe. Miss Womble, the fifth-grade teacher,came into the office. “Can I help? I know her. She lives next door to me.” “I guess ants are stinging her right foot, but she won’t let me take off her shoe,” said Miss Bell.

注意：

Miss Womble put both hands on my shaking shoulders and looked into my upset, red eyes.

Dealing with the angry bites gently, Miss Womble lifted her head and smiled at me.
