26、 During the darkest days of the drought(干早)that hit the western US since the early 2000s,rivers went dry from north to south. Consequently,low river flows severely reduced the amount of carbon-free electricity that could be produced by the thousands of hydroelectric power plants(水力发电厂)along rivers across the West.
Now,a group of researchers have figured out that an extra 100 million tons of carbon ended up in the atmosphere because people had to use carbon-emitting(碳排放)power sources instead of hydroelectric power during drought. That’s equal to adding about 1. 4 million cars to road for every one of those years. “That’s a big piece of the pic,”says Noth Diffenbaugh a climate scientist at Stanford and one of the authors of the study.
In normal years, over 20% of the electicity comes from hydroelectric power plants. But that number fluctuates with the ebb(退潮)and flow of water. And when water is not enough. the amount of hydroelectric power decreases.
States like Califomia. Washirgton, and Orgon that rely on hydroelectic power during water-rich years were the hardest hit. In Califormia, for example, the extra carbon dioxide emitted because of the drought added up to over 7% of its total carbon emissions.
That’s not a minor problem. Many of the western states have made plans for how to reduce their emissions over the next few decades. Califormia, for example, is trying to get its emissions down to 80% below 1990 levels by 2050. But drought makes it harder to meet the emissions reduction goals.
While the carbon cost of drought is large, Diffenbaugh points out, with this study and a lot of others from the past few years, we’ve learned more and more about when and why carbon-free energy sources face challenge. Armed with this information, he says, energy managers can figure out how to fill the gaps in energy demand with more renewable resources.
【1】What phenomenon is described in the first two paragraphs?
A. The high consumption of energy.
B. Large number of cars on the road.

27、 "I'm going to learn at least one dish each week. You just need to sit back and watch." I got off the phone with my mom and clicked on the TV-box-shaped icon (图标)of YouTube. We were just having a bet about whether I would ever be able to teach myself to cook without her step-by-step guidance.
Technology has revolutionized the way we learn. That was what I believed then. However, after two weeks of watching those instructional videos, the reality of my barely improved cooking struck me in the face. To be honest, the result didn't come off as too much of a shock. Deep down, I had always known that perfection relies in no small part on endless hours of meaningful practice.
I am not alone in experiencing this type of failure. With an impressive variety of online resources at our fingertips, it is natural that we use them to our advantage and learn new skills through "watching" them.
There's nothing ineffective about this kind of learning in itself. However, a recent study published in Psychological Science shows that if you watch an expert performing a skill unknown to you for too long, it will raise your self-confidence in a way that it arouses (激发)your unrealistic expectations of yourself. The dissonance between your true ability and your false view of it can have a negative influence on your learning outcome. You might become as discouraged as I was. And if your determination isn't strong enough, you might just give up halfway.
If right now you are considering learning something new through watching online videos, be it juggling pins (杂耍),ice-skating, or even Michael Jackson's timeless moonwalk, don't forget to mix it up with the tried-and-true method of practicing and repeating. And most importantly, try not to get caught up in the feel-good act of watching.
【1】What do we know about the author?
A.She knew her failure resulted from lacking practice.
B.She was astonished at her failure to be a great cook.
C.She disagreed with her mom on how to cook.
D.She was misled by some so-called experts.
【2】What's the author's opinion of online resources?
A.They are of poor quality.
B.They are helpful in a way.
C.They are difficult of access.
D.They have benefited her a lol.
【3】What does the word "dissonance" underlined in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.Dislike. B.Disbelief
C.Disapproval D.Disagreement.
【4】What does the author mainly intend to show readers?
A.Online videos are growing in popularity.
B.Mom is always a good example for us.
C.Watching doesn't make you perfect.
D.Cooking is a useful skill.

29、 During the outbreak of novel coronavirus, cities are locked down and borders are closed. Science, on the contrary, is becoming more open. And this “open science” is already making a difference.
Soon after the epidemic started in China, a research team from Fudan University in Shanghai successfully sequenced (测定序列)the DNA of the virus. But they didn’t keep the information to themselves. Instead, they placed the sequences on GenBank, an open-access data platform, so researchers around the world could download them for free and start studying the virus.
Due to this openness, pharmaceutical (制药的) companies across the globe are now able to work simultaneously (同时地)to develop a vaccine. “There may be room for multiple different vaccines for different purposes and different age groups,” Amesh Adalja, a senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins University Center for Health Security in the US, told Al Jazeera. “The bigger menu we have of vaccines, the more resilient (有适应力的) we’ll be against coronavirus outbreaks in the future.”
Major drug companies around the world are also sharing their study results. Remdesivir, a drug originally developed by US company Gilead Sciences to treat Ebola, is found to be promising in fighting against the novel coronavirus. Currently, two trials of the drug are already underway in China, and the results might be available as soon as April, according to The Verge.
This openness in science is going to be even more critical in the future. “With climate change, increasing globalization, and population shifts, epidemics will not go away, and might even become more frequent,” Dan Barouch, a Harvard Medical School professor, told Harvard Magazine.
He said, “No one group can do everything. It has to be a coordinated (合作的) approach. But I do think that the world has a greater sense of readiness this time to develop knowledge, drugs, and therapeutics (疗法) very rapidly.”
Every epidemic is indeed a crisis, but it can also be a learning opportunity. One redeeming (补偿的) factor of the COVID-19 outbreak is that it is helping science adapt for the better.
【1】What does the article mainly talk about?
A.Coordinated efforts to fight the epidemic.
B.Something positive we’ve learned from the epidemic.
C.The significance of openness and sharing of scientific knowledge.
D.What needs to be done to prevent future epidemics.
【2】What is the positive effect of the research team from Fudan University placing the genetic sequence of the virus onto GenBank?
A.They alerted the world to the danger of the virus.
B.They helped remove people’s fear of the virus.
C.They showed the world how to produce a vaccine.
D.They invited collective efforts worldwide to develop a vaccine.
【3】What is the author’s purpose of mentioning remdesivir in the text?
A.To introduce a possible cure for the epidemic.
B.To compare the treatment of Ebola and the novel coronavirus.
C.To prove that many drug companies readily share their discoveries.
D.To show that the novel coronavirus will soon be contained.
【4】What does the underlined word “critical” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A.expressing disapproval.
B.extremely important.
C.serious, uncertain and possibly dangerous.
D.making fair, careful judgments.
【5】Which of the following would Dan Barouch probably disagree with?
A.Epidemics will be less frequent thanks to scientific development.
B.The world is becoming better prepared to deal with epidemics.
C.No single group can fight against the epidemics independently.
D.The increase in globalization may worsen future epidemics.

34、阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
Smell the flowers before you go to sleep and you may just end up with rosy dreams. Have a whiff of rotten(腐烂的)eggs during the night and your dreams may be【1】(pleasant). So says researcher Dr. Boris Stuck, 【2】invited sleeping volunteers to a rose vs. rotten egg test in the University Hospital Mannheim in Germany. The subjects didn’t dream about roses【3】eggs, but rather he found that what they smelt affected the emotions of【4】(they) dreams.
And if you think【5】(smell) have a say in dreams, wait for what TV tells us. A UK study reveals that people exposed【6】black-and-white film and TV in their youth are to have monochromic(单色的)dreams throughout their life more【7】(probable). Eva Murzyn from the University of Dundee tested two age groups— one half 【8】(age) over 55 and【9】other half under 25.
The result? Under 5% of the dreams of the under-25s were in black and white. 【10】(watch)color TV in childhood seems to be the reason why.

In many ways my disability has helped me grow stronger psychologically and become more【7】 (independence). I have to work hard to live a normal life but it has been worth it.
