21、With the cost of living on the rise, it’s become more important than ever to watch what we spend. If you use natural gas in your home, the bill can be quite high. Don’t worry, though! 【1】 . You won’t have to pay huge fuel bills.

Try to reduce energy use

The smaller the difference between the indoor and outdoor temperatures, the less energy will be used. If your thermostat(调节器)is set to a high temperature， your gas bill is bound to be expensive. Lowering your thermostat a few degrees will reduce your bill by 5-10%. 【2】. Don’t keep the heat on when you’re at work or gone on the weekends. The energy saved will reduce the cost of your gas bill.

【3】

Warm air escapes our homes easily, so adding draught excluders(密封条)or a rolled-up towel to block these leaks will help. It’s also a good idea to equip your houses with double-glass windows. If it is too costly, it might be worth using some heavy curtains to stop the heat escaping. In addition, keep your blinds open during the day and closed at night. During the day, keep your blinds or curtains open to let the sunlight in. This will help your house warm up.【4】.

Do regular maintenance(维修)

Each year, you should service any gas appliance you have, such as a stove or a heater. You should also get your air pipes sealed by a professional.【5】. Proper maintenance work can prevent breakdowns in addition to lowering your gas bill.

A．Make changes around your home

B．Stop the flow of cold out of your houses

C．Also, turn off the heat when it is not necessary

D．When the sun sets, close all of them to keep the warm air in

E．There are several tips to make your home more energy-saving

F．That is why we are looking at ways to reduce our carbon footprint

G．Otherwise, warm air may escape through holes or breaks around them

22、When the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA), the world’s governing body for soccer, claimed that the 2022 World Cup in Qatar would be “a fully carbon-neutral (碳中和) event”, it attracted worldwide laughter from the environmentalists.

World Cup hosts often maintain that stadiums built for the event will remain in constant use after its conclusion—a claim that allows them to spread their carbon footprint over many years. But it’s hard to believe the claim. After all, Qatari soccer culture is still undeveloped. Even soccer- mad countries such as Russia, Brazil and South Africa-hosts of the previous three men’s World Cups-have been left with a group of relatively useless stadiums.

In addition to the carbon cost of the stadiums, Qatar expects to see 1, 300 daily flights to and from the country during the World Cup. But that’s not the only source of airplane emissions. The grass seeds to give rise to the tournament’s green pitches (球场) have been flown in from North America on climate-controlled planes. And these fields won’t water themselves. The groundskeepers who maintain the eight stadium pitches, as well as the 136 practice fields, douse each field with 10, 000 liters of water every day in the winter. In the summer the pitches require a surprising amount of 50, 000 liters each.

Soccer isn’t alone in this. Three recent Olympics-Tokyo 2020, Rio de Janeiro 2016 and Sochi 2014-earned some of the worst environmental sustainability scores. All this raises an important question: Is it even possible to stage a carbon-neutral sports mega event? The ever- expanding size of these events likely puts net-zero emissions out of reach. One recent study found that between 1964 and 2018, the soccer World Cup and the Olympics were about 60 times as large in terms of the number of sports, athletes, journalists, spectators, marketing and costs involved.

The large sports events, as they are currently organized, are unsustainable. Since FIFA and the International Olympic Committee made more environmental claims back in the 1990s, their events have only become bigger, and their effects have only become more severe.

【1】What did environmentalists think of FIFA’s claim about the 2022 World Cup?

A．It made no sense.

B．It was worth promoting.

C．It attracted no attention.

D．It lived up to their expectations.

【2】What do we know about the stadiums for the previous three men’s World Cups?

A．They are of great cultural value.

B．They are of not much use.

C．They have been completely transformed.

D．They have produced long-term benefits.

【3】What’s the third paragraph mainly about?

A．The great scale of the 2022 World Cup.

B．The difficulty in hosting the 2022 World Cup.

C．The high carbon cost of the 2022 World Cup.

D．The huge economic input of the 2022 World Cup.

【4】What’s the author’s attitude to the large sports events?

A．Critical.

B．Mixed.

C．Favorable.

D．Unclear.

23、Analogical ability — the ability to see common relations between objects, events or ideas — is a key skill that underlies human intelligence and differentiates humans from other apes.

While there is considerable evidence that preschoolers can learn abstract relations, it remains an open question whether infants (婴儿) can as well. In a new Northwestern University study, researchers found that infants are capable of learning the abstract relations of sameness and difference after only a few examples.

“This suggests that a skill key to human intelligence is present very early in human development and that language skills are not necessary for learning abstract relations,” said lead author Alissa Ferry, who conducted the research at Northwestern.

To trace the origins of relational thinking in infants, the researchers tested whether seven- month-old infants could understand the simplest and most basic abstract relation — that of sameness and difference between two things. Infants were shown pairs of items that were either the same — two Elmo dolls — or different — an Elmo doll and a toy camel — until their looking time declined.

In the test process, the infants looked longer at pairs showing the novel (新奇的) relation, even when the test pairs were composed of new objects. In other words, infants who had learned the same relation looked longer at test pairs showing the different relation during the test. This suggests that the infants had noticed the abstract relation and found when the relation changed.

“We found that infants are capable of learning these relations,” said Ferry, now doing post-doctoral research at the International School for Advanced Studies in Italy. “Additionally, infants exhibit the same patterns of learning as older children and adults — relational learning benefits from seeing multiple examples of the relation and is blocked when attention is drawn to the individual objects composing the relation.”

Susan Hespos, a co-author of the study and associate professor of psychology at Northwestern’s Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences, said, “We show that infants can form abstract relations before they learn the words that describe relations, meaning that relational learning in humans does not require language and is a fundamental human skill of its own.”

【1】How do the infants show they recognize the sameness or difference between two things?

A. By looking at the difference longer.

B. By describing the difference happily.

C. By smiling at the difference.

D. By crying at the difference loudly.

【2】What does the underlined word “fundamental” (in the last paragraph) mean?

A. Basic.   B. Evident.   C. Useful.   D. Complicated.

【3】What can we infer from the passage?

A. Apes have analogical ability.

B. Infants have difficulty gaining analogical ability.

C. Scientists have done little research on analogical ability.

D. Infants learn words later than analogical ability.

【4】What is the passage mainly about?

A. Evidence on preschoolers’ abstract learning.

B. Infants born with analogical ability.

C. Human skills related to analogical ability.

D. A skill key to human intelligence.

25、   Children’s books are filled with fantastic friendships between humans and beasts. From a young age, we learn that if a tiger comes for tea we should expect it to eat all our sandwiches, and if a Peruvian bear_______for lunch we had better have some marmalade (柑橘酱) in the cupboard.

In this fantasy world, we can coexist peacefully with large mammals. _______, in real life, young people are having fewer wild interactions than ever before. In part this is a result of _______screen time and decreased access to wild spaces. Perhaps it doesn’t help that many countries drove out their most exciting _______ —bears and wolves—centuries ago.

Had they not, more people in the developed world might now be facing similar problems to those in Novaya Zemlya. The playgrounds of this remote Russian archipelago (俄罗斯半岛) were recently_______by a group of hungry polar bears, driven into human settlements in search of food and _______after rising temperatures destroyed the last hospitable slices of the Arctic sea ice. It’s the same story we see across the world: habitat _______ driving elephants to attack crops, human settlements spreading into tiger territory, and people losing their lives to big cats.

The Incident of the Polar Bear in the Playground is not a/an _______consequences to The Humans Who Melted the Ice Caps. We have known for years that Arctic temperatures are rising at_______rates. It should come as no surprise that the polar bears we have forced to leave their natural homes have ________shouting at humans’ front doors in search of their basic requirements for survival. Unfortunately, they are more ________ to be met with the business end of a shotgun than a marmalade sandwich. And who can criticize the people in the main settlement, Belushya Guba, for wanting to protect themselves?

We’ve had years to________these issues. This is not an unusual ________but the latest in a list  of increasingly frequent human/polar bear incidents. And it’s part of an even longer list of rapidly growing areas where there is human/wildlife conflict. We can’t________the local residents of Novaya Zemlya for their quiet town becoming a bear refugee camp. They are not the ones burning fossil fuels, ________farming cows and flying across the world for business meetings. It’s almost always the case that those making the decisions that are most serious for the environment are the furthest from the consequences.

26、阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇 60 词左右的内容概要。

Whether you’re looking for a quick hotel in the city or a isolated resort in the tropics, where you choose to stay can make or break your vacation experience. But even the most seasoned travelers may not know the difference between the two main types of homes-away-from-home. Besides their first letter, is there any real difference between hotels and motels?

These two types of lodging(宾馆) have the same basic purpose—a place for travelers to sleep—but there are plenty of features that set them apart. For instance, they came to be for different reasons, and at very different times. The word “hotel” dates back to the 1600s and comes from a French word, hotel. That word, just like the English one, referred to a place that provides lodging, meals, entertainment, and other services to travelers.

Motels, on the other hand, are a much more recent—and pretty much exclusively American—lodging option. This word dates back to the 1920s and combines the words “hotel” and “motor.” As America’s major highway system developed, so did motels, filling the need for roadside stops for motorists traveling cross-country.

There are also some smaller differences that can help you figure out which type of place you’re in. Hotels tend to be built for longer stays, while motels are geared more for one- or two-night stops along a journey. Because of this, hotels are much more likely to have offerings like lounges, gyms, and entertainment.

So, in the end, it comes down to what you want from your trip and from your lodging. Want the place you stay to be just as much a part of your travel experience as anything else? Opt for a hotel. Just need a place to pop in and out of to shower and sleep? A motel might be the better choice.
