For example, Qomolangma is about 60 million years old and the Amazon Rainforest is about 55 million years old. The Baltic Sea, the youngest sea in the world, is only about 15.000 years old.The earth is always changing because of volcanoes, earthquakes and, of course, wind and rain. Some of these changes are very slow and others are quick. Water and ice can make very big changes to the planet. For example, glaciers can cut through mountains and make deep valleys.It's normal for our planet to change. But at the moment scientists think it's changing faster than usual. They don't understand everything that is happening but they know that temperatures are rising. Besides, the weather is getting wetter in some places and drier in others, and there are more big storms. Now there is a growing awareness that climate change is definetly not confined to a certain region or country. However, it is a problem all countries are involved. What's more, there is no denying that industrial emissions has been the main influence of climate change for the last 50 years, overwhelming natural forces.However, these changes are not bad for everyone. Because the Arctic is getting warmer, farmers in Greenland now can grow and sell vegetables. That wasn't possible50 years ago, Farmers in Greenland like the warm weather and hope it will continue.24. Which of the following is the oldest?A. The earth. B. Qomolangma. C. The Amazon Rainforest. D. The Baltic Sea.25. All of these lead to the changes of the earth EXCEPTA. glaciers B. deep valleys C. wind and rain D. volcanoes and earthquakes26. Why do farmers in Greenland like the warm weather?A. They turned the impossible into possible.B. The warm weather is good for the Arctic.C. They now own businesses and become successful.D. They benefit from the vegetable businesses that did not exist before.27. Which do you think is the best title?A. Global w arming B. Beautiful GreenlandC. Our Changing Planet D. The Old EarthCAs the coronavirus disease(冠状病毒) takes hold and causes lockdowns(禁闭) in major urban centers, researchers studying air pollution data are recording significant improvements in air quality levels. The change is so huge that some believe these short-term reductions could end up saving many more lives than those who are lost to the virus itself."These are quite great times," Francois Gemenne, director of The Hugo Observatory, an environmental research center, said during an appearance on France 24's The Debate. "What surprises me most is that the measures that we are ready to take to face this coronavirus are much more severer than the measures we would be ready to take to face climate change or air pollution."According to the World Health Organization (WHO), around 91% of the world's population live in places where air quality levels are beyond acceptable limits. Globally, this results in nearly 4. 2 million deaths annually, according to 2016 statistics.Recent data from the European Space Agency's(ESA) Copernicus Sentinel-5P satellite have shown a marked reduction over Italy in the amount of nitrogen dioxide(二氧化氮), a gas produced from road traffic and other processes, during the country s nationwide lockdown."Although there could be slight variations in the data due to cloud cover and changing weather, we are very confident about the improvement of air quality because of less traffic and industrial activities," said Josef Aschbacher, ESA's Director of Earth Observation Programmes.People living in Venice have noticed how much clearer the water has become now that the city is in lockdown. Fishes have been seen in the canals, which is unusual for waters normally full of mud caused by so much canal traffic, reports CNN. In some cities, animals are cautiously exploring new areas, especially in urban areas.28. What can we learn from what Francois said?A. Air pollution is not serious as we imagine.B. We will meet with huge change of climate.C. Dealing with the coronavirus will be very tough.D. What we do to beat the coronavirus is surprising.29. What do the data in paragraph 3 mainly indicate?A. There is little air pollution in the world. B. Air pollution is very severe globally.C. Most people will die from air pollution. D. The earth is too terrible for people to live on.30. What does the last paragraph want to tell us?A. Traffic jam will not be seen from now on.B. We have solved the problem of water pollution.C. The environment has improved due to the lockdown.D. Staying at home is the only way to beat the coronavirus.31. Where is this text most likely from?A. A textbook. B. A guidebook. C. A novel. D. A newspaper.DThey say that "a picture is worth a thousand words", but the briefest look at books and the movies based on them would have anyone questioning this common saying. All too often, great words end up being turned into cinematic "turkeys".Good movies need good stories. If so, why has one of the earliest and greatest works in Western storytelling, Homer's The Odyssey, never had an equally great movie based on it? Movies need strong characters. So why have the movies based on The Great Gatsby never been praised as "great"? Movies of course need impressive images, so why has Alice in Wonderland only resulted in movies best described as "interesting"?One of the key reasons behind this is that while a book usually takes a few days to read, a movie typically lasts under two hours. This means that great books can lose plot details and characters when they move to the big screen. This is something that even the highly successful Harry Potter movies can't escape from, with fans of the books disappointed not to see some of their favorite characters in the movie versions.Movies also disappoint us when things don't look the way we imagined them in the books. Take, for example, the epic movie Troy, which is in part based on Homer's The Iliad and was met with mixed reviews from the audience. The most questionable issue was the actress chosen to play the part of Helen. Many people thought she didn't live up to Helen's title of "the most beautiful woman in the world", influencing opinions of the movie to some extent.There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people's eyes. Furthermore, books and movies are two different forms of media and therefore have different rules. With this in mind, perhaps we should judge a movie in its own right, and not against its original source. Interestingly, audiences have in recent years turned to television series such as Sherlock or Mad Men, which can have many characters and gradual plot development. Perhaps, one day, readers of F. Scott Fitzgerald's most admired work will find themselves glued to their screens by episodes of The Great Gatsby.32. Which of the following statements about the movie adaptation is TRUE?A. The characters in The Odyssey do not stand out.B. The movie Troy doesn't look the way we visualized while reading the book.C. The visual images are not as striking as the descriptions in the book The Great Gatsby.D. Some parts of the story and characters are missing in the movie Alice in Wonderland.33. One of the reasons why adaptations disappoint the audience is that .A they lack good storytellingB. the images are not impressive enoughC. the characters in the movies are not strong and interestingD. there is not enough time for movies to fully present the whole story34. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?A. Every shoe fits not every foot.B. Birds of a father lock together.C. Reading is a matter of personal taste.D. Different people have different ideas about the books and movies.35. What does the text mainly talk about?A. Good books may not be adapted for great movies.B. Reading books is better than watching movies.C. People are dissatisfied with the current movies.D. People are expressing their preference to reading books.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。How to Protect WildlifeWildlife faces threats from habitat destruction, pollution, and other human actions.
