阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

A

Looking around your city, it may be hard to imagine that there might be a time when it will disappear. But that's exactly what happened to these communities.

Hashima Island, Japan

Hashima Island was formerly one of the most populated cities in the world. The 6 hectare island provided jobs to more than 5000 people, many of whom made their living at the island 's underwater coal mines. When the mines were closed, Hashima Island was abandoned.

Consonno, Italy

Consonno was a tiny town with a population of less than 300 and roots dating back to . the middle ages. Then Mario Bagno came along and decided to turn the area into the Las Vegas of Italy. He knocked down nearly every building. Then landslide struck, burying the access road and the project was never finished. Today, Consonno has been abandoned.

Eastern Settlement, Greenland

Eastern Settlement in Greenland isn't just an abandoned city, it's also a mystery. Once the most populated area in Greenland, the area was abandoned and no one knows why. The last known writings from the area applied to a wedding in 1408 and offered no clues. It remains one of many ancient mysteries researchers can't explain.

Troy, Turkey

Troy was regarded immortal (不朽的) in Homer s epic poem, The Iliad. For many years, the Troy of Ancient Greece was merely the stuff of legend but in the 1800s its location was discovered in what is now Turkey. The site contains layers of ruins archaeologists are still studying.

21. What do the four communities have in common?

A. They were deserted.             B. They were capital cities.

C. They were tourist spots.         D. They were thickly populated.

22. Which community suffered from a natural disaster?

A. Hashima Island.      B. Consonno.     C. Eastern Settlement.        D. Troy.

23. What do we know about Eastern Settlement?

A. It disappeared for no obvious reason.        

B. It's a place where weddings were held.

C. It's a place for visitors to experience history.

D. It existed as one of the oldest towns in Greenland. .

B

Earth Day is the name given to two different annual activities that are intended to raise . awareness about a wide range of environmental issues and problems and to inspire people to take personal action to address them. Except tor that general goal, the two events are unrelated, even though both were founded about a month apart in 1970 and both have gained wide acceptance and popularity ever s1nce.

In the United States, Earth Day is celebrated by most people on April 22, but there is another celebration that predates that one by about a month and is celebrated internationally.

The first Earth Day celebration took place on March 21, 1970, the vernal equinox (春分) that year. It was the brainchild of John McConnell, a newspaper publisher and influential community activist who proposed the idea of a global holiday called Earth Day at a UNESCO Conference on the Environment in 1969. McConnell suggested the day to remind people of their shared responsibility of environmental protection. He chose the vernal equinox- the first day of spring in the northern hemisphere (半球) and the first day of autumn in the southern hemisphere- because it is a day of renewal.

At the vernal equinox ( always March 20 or March 21)，night and day are the same . lengths everywhere on Earth. McConnell believed that Earth Day should be a time of equilibrium when people could put aside the1r differences and recognize their common need to protect Earth's resources. On February 26，1971， the United Nations announced that it would celebrate Earth Day annually on the vernal equinox, thereby officially establishing the March date as the international Earth Day.

24. Which of the following is probably NOT included in Earth Day's issues?

A. Climate changes.       B. Green travel.      C. World peace.    D. Industrial pollution.

25. The reason why the first Earth Day was celebrated on March 21 is that

A. it was proposed by a famous person who had wide influences in public

B. people usually share responsibilities of environmental protection on that day

C. it is a day that indicates spring or autumn is going to come in

D. it inspires people s common concern for protecting Earth's resources

26. W hat does the underlined word “equilibrium” in paragraph 4 probably mean?

A. Celebration.           B. Equipment.        C. Definition.          D. Balance.

27. What is the common feature of the two Earth Days?

A. They are both celebrated worldwide.      B. They are related with each other closely.

C. They cover many environmental issues.    D. The United Nations admitted them officially.

C

Human illumination (照明) of the planet is growing in range and intensity by about 2% a year, creating a problem that can be compared to climate change, according to a team of biologists from the University of Exeter.

Hormone (激素) levels, breeding cycles and activity patterns are being affected across a broad range of species. In all the animal species examined, they found reduced levels of melatonin一a hormone that regulates sleep cycles一 as a result of artificial light at night. Behavioural patterns were also disturbed. Rodents, which mostly search for food at night, were active for a shorter period, while birds started singing and searching for worms earlier in the day.

The outcomes were not purely negative. The scientists said certain species in certain locations benefited from night-time light: some plants grew faster and some types of bats thrived (兴旺). But they said the overall effect was catastrophic, particularly to the insects . drawn to fast- moving car lamps.

Satellite images of the Earth at night show how rapidly the problem is expanding geographically, but lights are also becoming more intense as expensive soft amber bulbs are replaced by greater numbers of cheap bright white LEDs. This is biologically problematic because the white light has a wider range, like sunlight.

Unlike the climate crisis， however, the lead author, Kevin Gaston said solving the lighting problem would save rather than cost money. But it would require a change of mindset.“At the heart of this is a deep- rooted human need to light up the night. We are still in a sense afraid of the dark," he said. “The ability to turn the night- time into something like the daytime is something we have pursued far beyond the necessity of doing so.

28. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?

A. The wide use of artificial light.          B. The bad effects of artificial light.

C. The abnormal behaviour of species.     D. The biological diversity of species.

29. What do the underlined words “the problem” in paragraph 4 refer to?

A. The amount of lighting.              B. The change of sunlight.

C. The range of white LEDs.            D. The pressure of climate change.

30. What can we learn from Kevin Gaston's words?

A. It takes time to get the problem solved.     B. To light up the night sky is not necessary.

C. It costs money to solve the lighting problem. D. The problem is deeply rooted in the history.

31. What does the author try to convey through this passage?

A. We should protect our environment in a scientific way.

B. We should solve climate crisis with a biological approach.

C. We should conserve our nature with maximum effort.

D. We should treat artificial light like other forms of pollution.

D

Most online fraud (诈骗) involves identity theft. Passwords help. But many can be guessed. Newer phones, tablets, laptops and desktop computers often have strengthened security with fingerprint and facial recognition. But these can be imitated. That is why a new approach, behavioural biometrics (生物统计学), is gaining ground.

It relies on the wealth of measurements made by today 's devices. These include data from sensors that reveal how people hold their phones when using them, how they carry them and even the way they walk. Touchscreens, keyboards and mice can be monitored to show the distinctive ways in which someone s fingers and hands move. These features can then be used to determine whether someone attempting to make a transaction (交易) is likely to be the device' s habitual user.

Behavioural biometrics make it possible to identify an individual's “ unique motion fingerprint”, says John Whaley, head of Unifyid, a firm in Silicon Valley that is involved in the field. When coupled with information about a user 's finger pressure and speed on the touchscreen, as well as a device' s regular places of use- as revealed by its GPS unit- that user's identity can be pretty well determined.

Used wisely, behavioural biometrics could be a great benefit. In fact，Unifyid and an unnamed car company are even developing a system that unlocks the doors of a vehicle once . the pace of the driver, as measured by his phone, is recognised. Used unwisely, however, the system would become yet another electronic spy on people s privacy, permitting complete  strangers to monitor your every action, from the moment you reach for your phone in the morning, to when you throw it on the floor at night.

32. What is behavioural biometrics for?

A. To ensure network security.            B. To identify network crime.

C. To track online fraud.                 D. To gather online data.

33. How does behavioural biometrics work?

A. By restricting and detecting the access to an account of users.

B. By spotting and revealing a device' s regular places of use.

C. By monitoring and comparing the ways users interact with devices.

D. By offering and analyzing the operating system of devices.

34. What's the author’s attitude towards behavioural biometrics?

A. Doubtful.           B. Concerned.             C. Objective.       D. Favorable.

35. From which section of a magazine can this passage possibly be taken?

A. Health and wealth.              B. Science and technology.

C. Finance and economics.           D. Books and arts.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

The Covid-19 pandemic is like a “storm” which negatively affects children's mental and physical health and behavior.   36   Here are some ways that parents can help kids deal with the stress.

Watch your kids closely.

When we see a child acting in a manner that we think is inappropriate, we need to consider that the child may bear too much stress. Given this, it's important to lo0k at the1r behaviors carefully.   37 

Understand the effects of adversity (逆境) on children.

While many kids are experiencing a stressful situation right now, those who have been exposed to other bad events in childhood are at an increased risk of struggling during and after this crisis.  38  By knowing who is most at risk to suffer extreme stress from Covid-19, policymakers can deliver community resources to those who are expected to need them most.

39  

Adults must recognize that for some kids, the newfound loneliness brought on by Covid-19 feels like a gift. While we may be struggling with schools being closed, kids could be feeling happy. We might assume our kids miss their friends, but they may appreciate having more time with us. And some who were dealing with bullying or social challenges at school may be relieved not to have to see other kids.

Find “stress destroyers” that work for your family.

It is recommended that parents help kids avoid the harmful effects of stress by first talking with them about the pandemic.   40   Lastly, experts suggest families create and stick to a routine that gives kids structure, making time for play, hygiene and physical activities. Along with positive relationships, sleep, exercise and nutrition also can help kids keep stress under control.

A. We should consider what need the behavior is attempting to meet during this difficult time.

B. Avoid making assumptions.

C. Stress is bad for children's health.

D. It leaves children feeling stressed.

E. Pay attention to children' s manners.

F. When we can predict, hopefully we can prevent.

G. Parents are encouraged to keep kids connected with friends and family online.
