21、Holidays are really important. Many of us will have childhood memories of summer holidays where we were taken away from home to experience new environments and learn in different ways.

But holidays are expensive and, for those on low wages or living on benefits, they are often unobtainable. Even the cheapest holidays require travel and other additional costs that are difficult for many families to meet.

For working parents, the long summer break can be a very difficult problem for childcare. When an annual leave allowance amounts to only five weeks, there is a need to spread this across the year. Couples can find themselves taking leave in turn in order to care for children who are on holiday. For some, this makes even an affordable family holiday difficult.

The schools that I visit in Nottingham are full of experienced staff committed to giving our children a caring and inspiring learning environment. The number of children receiving free school meals is quite large in Nottingham and many schools have breakfast clubs to make sure that children get a healthy start to the day. Most schools undertake programs of group or individual educational support. Schools also have an important role in sofeguaiding children's welfare through the ongoing touch and support with their pupils. During the long summer holidays, much of this is missed.

While teachers are holidaying in the UK, many of their pupils spend the whole six weeks on the street where they live. The lack of free school meals for six weeks can result in pressure on a family budget and an inability to afford the inspiring experiences that help children to continue their learning.

In setting out its plans for a five-term year, Nottingham City Council (委员会)is seeking to reduce the summer holiday down to four and a half weeks, with a more balanced five terms of roughly eight weeks, each followed by a two-week break. We believe this will give real “down time" for school staff and pupils alike but will be short enough not to cause a real break in learning.

We acknowledge that this change may be difficult for some school staff, particularly whose own children are educated in other authorities. However, this must be weighed against the benefits for city children for whom we all have the greatest duty of care.

【1】The passage is probably written by .

A．an experienced teacher

B．a working parent

C．an inspired student

D．a city council member

【2】The underlined word "they" in the second paragraph refers to " ’.

A．environments

B．holidays

C．wages

D．benefits

【3】It is suggested in the passage that the summer break be reduced to.

A．2 weeks

B．4.5 weeks

C．5 weeks

D．6 weeks

【4】The plans for a shorter summer holiday will help students_____ .

A．obtain the cheapest holidays without additional costs

B．get a chance to spend six weeks a term with teachers in school

C．benefit more from the caring and inspiring learning environment

D．have more school days to receive free school meals

【5】It can be inferred from the passage that _______.

A．working parents can enjoy a five-week break to care for their children

B．the suggested plans for a five-term school year can hardly be carried out

C．the long summer holiday gives teachers and students real "down time"

D．some school staff will say “ No" to the plans for a shorter summer holiday

22、How to Motivate Teens

Motivating teenagers is no easy task. In fact, it has been a question for parents for ages.【1】.

Remain positive at least 70 percent of the time when dealing with teenagers. Young teenagers will always act negatively to the naggings(好唠叨的人). Every time a teenager is pushed and nagged, they will pull further back. So, instead of screaming “clean that room”, try something along the lines of “I would appreciate it if you cleaned the room”. It would really help me out today.

Talk to them often and keep open a line of communication. By doing this the teenagers will not feel like a prisoner, but more like a partner. 【2】.

Appreciating what they have done, instead of focusing on what they have not done. When a job is done in their minds, avoid immediately saying “you left A undone and B was done poorly”. 【3】. Then suggest that the job is almost done, but a few things need changed.

Keep in mind that teenagers are still kids. Don’t make them a house servant. A housework list is fine. 【4】. Make sure you allow them to have at least the same amount of free time as the parents.

【5】. Although the results may not come for another 10 years, teenagers learn from the actions of their parents. By working hard, staying positive and putting family first, it is extremely likely that your teenager will become a responsible person.

A．Set a good example

B．Point out what was done right

C．Encourage and support your teen

D．Talk to your teenager about your expectations for him

E．However, they still need their own spare time to be a kid

F．However, with some work there are ways to motivate teenagers

G．This is necessary for teenagers as they are fighting for independence

23、This season, the bushfires in Australia have burned more than 12.35 million acres of land. At least 25 people have been killed and 2000 homes destroyed. According to the BBC, this is the most casualties (伤亡) from wildfires in the country since 2009. The University of Sydney estimates that 480 million animals have died in South Wales alone.

Zeke Hausfather, an energy systems analyst and climate researcher at Berkeley Earth, said warmer temperatures and extreme weather have made Australia more susceptible to fires and increased the length of the fire season. “The drier conditions combined with record high temperatures in 2019 created main conditions for the disastrous fires. Australia’s fires were worsened by the combination of those two. 2019 was the perfect storm for being the warmest year on record for Australia and the driest year on record for Australia,” Hausfather added on Friday.

Kevin Trenberth, a senior scientist at the US National Center for Atmospheric Research, said warmer ocean temperatures also contributed to more variable weather around the world. Trenberth believes that global warming contributed to energy imbalances and hot spots in the oceans, which can create a wave in the atmosphere that locks weather patterns in places, causing longer rain events in Indonesia, for example, and at the same time contributing to drought in Australia. He said that once an area experiences drought conditions for two months or more, it increases the risk of fires catching and spreading. Those changing weather patterns due to global warming make drought events longer.

Climate experts stress that climate change is not the only factor in the severity of wildfires. How land is managed can also impact the amount of fuel available for fires. Practices like controlled burns and other factors can impact the risk to people and property, such as warning systems and the type of development in a given area. Changing those policies has great potential to limit future damage from wildfires along with changes to how fire management resources are dispatched(派遣).

【1】What are the numbers about in Paragraph 1?

A．The causes of Australian fires.

B．The severe consequences of Australian fires.

C．The damaged areas of Australian fires.

D．The residence destruction of Australian fires.

【2】Which of the following best explains “susceptible to” in the second paragraph?

A．Very quickly to adapt to.

B．Very seriously to focus on.

C．Very easily to be protected against.

D．Very likely to be influenced by.

【3】What can we infer from Trenberth’s research?

A．Warmer ocean temperatures promote fires spreading.

B．Longer dry weather contributes to global warming.

C．The imbalanced energy leads to the temperature rising.

D．Global warming is the root cause of the bushfires.

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

A．To provide some advice about reducing damage.

B．To show the methods for controlling burns.

C．To predict the seriousness of Australian fires.

D．To stress the effects of Australian fires.

24、   In the UK, the Met Office — which keeps track of the weather — chooses the names for storms but they’re asking for members of the public to help by suggesting new ones. It’s five years since they first asked people for ideas and that time they got more than 10,000 suggestions. 【1】.

Why do storms have names?

The Met Office decided to start giving storms names back in 2014, in the same way they do in America. The first windstorm to be named was Abigail on 10 November, 2015. 【2】 They think it will be easier to follow the progress of a storm on the TV, radio, or on social media, if it has a name.

【3】?

Since September 2015, the Met Office has asked people for suggestions for storm names. The most popular names put forward by the public are made into a list, along with other names suggested by Met Office. Sometimes the UK will be hit by storms from Europe or other countries, and the storm will keep the name the first country gave it — even if it doesn’t follow the UK’s alphabetical order - like Storm Jorge from Spain which hit Europe in February.

How big do storms have to be to get a name?

Not all storms will be big enough to get names — only those expected to cause significant damage. A storm will be named when it has the potential to cause an amber ‘be prepared’ or red ‘take action’ warning.

Who decides if they’re named after girls or boys?

The UK storms will take it in turns to be girls ‘or boys’ names.【4】 Scientists think that’s because people find female names less threatening.

Which storm name will be picked first?

【5】. That’s because the US National Hurricane Centre leaves out names that begin with these letters. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration spokesman said, “It’s just too difficult to find names beginning with X, Y and Z.” The Met Office has done the same thing to make sure official storm naming in the North Atlantic is consistent.

A．How are the names picked

B．What names do people like most

C．Unexpectedly, it’s becoming popular that people chase storms in different locations

D．The Met Office hoped that naming big storms will make people more aware of them and how dangerous they can be

E．They will be taken from the list in alphabetical order, but there are no storms that start with the letters Q, U, X, Y and Z

F．Strangely, research shows that hurricanes with female names are more likely to hurt more people than those with males names

G．During these years we’ve had lots of storms with different names including Storm Francis, Storm Dennis, and Storm Ophelia

25、   When Mike Mushaw decided to join the national bone marrow registry (骨髓登记) nearly three years ago, he never really gave it a second thought. After all, he did it only because his college football coach had _______ him and his teammates to register.

About six months after the registry, Mushaw got a call. His bone marrow matched a _______ in Virginia. Mushaw didn’t know it at the time that his marrow would _______ to a five-month-old girl named Eleanor with a rare _______. She had hardly _______ her house, and the only place she went to was the _______ because her immune (免疫的) system was far too _______. As the days and weeks passed, her condition had become only more_______ and she would die without the transplant (移植).

Still, _______ is sure of the success. At first, Eleanor’s family had only hoped that she would have some improvement from the transplant, enough to ________ a more normal life. ________ after a few weeks, the doctors came back with ________ news: Eleanor’s condition hadn’t just ________ — Mushaw’s bone marrow had cured (治愈) her.

“She is doing amazing,” the mother says, “ ________ than we ever expected her to be. It was a little surprising just because of how serious her condition was, but it was more of a relief and ________ feeling than anything.”

Mushaw didn’t ________ any of this until Eleanor’s parents sent him an e-mail to ________ him for saving her life. “When they told me it was a little girl, I got a little choked up (哽咽),” Mushaw says, “Just to hear that someone so ________ has such a serious disease and her only ________ is in your bone marrow is a heavy ________.” But he was pleased that his kindness had saved a life and even one small act of kindness can go a long way.
