This began a sudden drop in human activity, as much of the world went into lockdown and factories stopped operating, cars kept their engines off and planes were grounded. ___91___ Here are three things climate scientists learned.
Climate science can operate in real time.
The pandemic made scientists think about how to monitor greenhouse gas emissions-carbon dioxide in particular—in real time. ___92___ In other words, if we knew what the emissions were from various economic sectors or countries before the pandemic, and we knew by how much activity had fallen, we could assume that their emissions had fallen by the same amount.
No dramatic effects on climate change happen.
___93___ Despite the clear and quiet skies, researchers found that lockdown actually had a slight warming effect in spring 2020. Looking further ahead to 2030, simple models have estimated that global temperatures will only be around 0.01℃ lower as a result of Covid-19.
___94___
We need to find ways to reduce emissions without the economic and social impacts of lockdown. Scientists have estimated that investing just 1.2% of global GDP in economic recovery packages could mean the difference between keeping global temperature rise below 1.5%, and a future where we are facing much more severe impacts—and higher costs. It’s essential that strong climate action is integrated into future investments. ___95___
A．There have been many changes.
B．This isn’t a plan for climate action.
C．The risks may seem high，but the potential rewards are far higher.
D．They used information on lockdown as a mirror for global emissions.
E．This period has brought some entirely new and sometimes unexpected insights.
F．Unfortunately, green investment is not being made at anything like the level needed.
G．In the long term, the pandemic will have less effect on efforts to tackle climate change.

After my family got comfortably settled in Hotel Ramada in Bangkok, we started exploring the city. After endless hours of shopping, it was finally time to go back.
This was when the trouble started. We forgot there are two Ramada hotels in the opposite directions. Absolutely unaware of this, we started searching for the way back. Google maps suggested us the shortest route which was just 20 minutes away by walk____96____
Bangkok felt different after sunset. Walking along the heavily-crowded roads with the dark-red sky felt beautiful. Lost in our talk, we didn’t realize that we passed onto the quieter part of the town.
____97____ It was closed for redecoration. To our luck, nobody around us then spoke English. Worse still, we stepped in a local tuk-tuk(三轮车), which took us to an unknown area for an enormous pay. We had no idea where we were, our mobile phones nearly out of charge.
____98____ He was a taxi driver. Recounting the day’s events proved to be a great conversation starter. We ended up talking through the way. He was so kind as to offer to drive us around for the rest of our stay. ____99____ For the next four days, from floating markets to the temples of Wat Pho, our trip wouldn’t have been so trouble free without him.
Sometimes when things don’t go according to plan, I think about the stranger we met on the streets and how a tiny mistake on our part led to unexpected results. ____100____
A．That was when our hero arrived.
B．Our thankfulness knew no bounds.
C．We reached a completely different Hotel Ramada.
D．We set off into the city with little research on transport.
E．We decided not to waste our money but our time instead.
F．The trip rings as a reminder that every cloud has a silver lining.
G．He then informed us that our hotel was just a few blocks away.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。当前社会有很多人深受恐惧症的困扰，影响正常生活。本文详细介绍了集中恐惧症的治疗方法——认知行为疗法，暴露疗法和虚拟现实疗法。
11．根据前文“In everyday life, some phobia triggers(诱因)are much easier to avoid than others. For instance, people who suffer from a fear of bats are highly unlikely to be troubled by these creatures every day. ”（在日常生活中，有些恐惧症的诱因比其他的更容易避免。例如，那些害怕蝙蝠的人不太可能每天都受到这些生物的困扰。）可知，有些恐惧症的引发的因素是不常见，可以避免的，不会影响正常的生活。下文“The good news is that there are a variety of different methods used to treat phobias. ”（好消息是治疗恐惧症的方法有很多种。）可知，有很多治疗恐惧症的方法，既然是“好消息”，说明有很多人的日常生活是受到恐惧症的影响的。选项E.“然而，患有社交恐惧症的人将很难过上正常的生活。”，引出下文对各种疗法的描述，符合题意，故选E。
12．根据下文“It is thought that unreasonable anxiety is caused by a patient’s negative interpretation of events, rather than the events themselves. CBT is a talking therapy that helps patients assess their reactions to situations, replacing the worry cycle with more useful or realistic thoughts.”（人们认为，不合理的焦虑是由病人对事件的负面解释引起的，而不是事件本身引起的。认知行为疗法是一种谈话疗法，帮助患者评估他们对情况的反应，用更有用或更现实的想法取代焦虑周期。）这里主要介绍了认知行为疗法的治疗理念。因而空处应该讲述认知行为疗法。选项D.“认知行为疗法的目的是改变我们对某些情况的看法。” 符合题意，故选D。
13．根据下文“A person who fears spiders might place thinking about a spider at the bottom of the list, and having a spider move along his arm at the top. With the help of a psychologist, the patient systematically works their way through the list, using relaxation techniques until they are comfortable with each stage.”（一个害怕蜘蛛的人可能会把思考蜘蛛放在列表的底部，让蜘蛛沿着他的手臂移动放在列表的顶部。在心理学家的帮助下，患者系统地完成列表内容，使用放松技巧，直到他们对每个阶段都感到舒服。）可知，暴露疗法是帮助患者按照患者内心的恐惧等级，逐步克服恐惧的办法。所以空处应描述暴露疗法的会让患者做什么。选项B.“病人把情况从最不可怕到最可怕进行排序。” 符合题意，故选B。
14．根据前文“Exposure therapy isn’t a usable option for all phobias.”（暴露疗法不是所有恐惧症的有效选择。）可知，暴露疗法不适合所有恐惧症患者，存在弊端。下文“Advancements in virtual reality systems mean that patients can now face their fears through a headset rather than in the real world.”（虚拟现实系统的进步意味着，患者现在可以通过耳机而不是在现实世界中面对他们的恐惧。）可知，虚拟疗法可以通过科学技术，弥补暴露疗法的不足。因而空处应提出有其他的治疗方法。选项A.“幸运的是，现代科技提供了另一种选择。” 符合题意，故选A。
15．根据前文“Advancements in virtual reality systems mean that patients can now face their fears through a headset rather than in the real world.”（虚拟现实系统的进步意味着，患者现在可以通过耳机而不是在现实世界中面对他们的恐惧。）可知，虚拟现实疗法是通过科学技术，让患者不在现实中体验恐惧。因而，空处应承接前文，讲述这样做的意义。选项F.“这使患者能够面对他们的恐惧症，同时知道他们没有身体上的危险。”符合题意，故选F。

(从朋友的生日派对到健身，你可以穿运动鞋去任何地方。)”可知，本句旨在说明运动鞋和衣服的搭配。D选项They指代上文sneakers。故D选项“他们最适合与休闲装搭配”符合语境，穿运动鞋和休闲服装可以去朋友的派对和去健身。故选D。
18．根据上文“Boots are one of the best additions to your shoe collection. They work well in personal and professional settings. They convey a strong, professional and confident attitude.(靴子是你的鞋子收藏中最好的补充之一。他们在个人和职业环境中都很好。他们传达了一种坚强、专业和自信的态度)”可知，上文提到了靴子可以在职业环境中穿着，故本句是在说明可以穿着靴子的场合：办公室，甚至去参加聚会。故F选项“你可以穿一双去办公室，甚至去参加聚会”符合语境，故选F。
19．根据上文“Heels have been a status symbol since ancient time.(自古以来，高跟鞋就是身份的象征)”以及后文“Kings and queens wore heels to show their high status. Even today, heels represent confidence, bravery, and even a high-status. Women who wear heels are more charming as well.(国王和王后穿高跟鞋来显示他们的高贵地位。即使在今天，高跟鞋也代表着自信、勇敢，甚至是高地位。穿高跟鞋的女性也更迷人)”可知，上文提到高跟鞋是身份的象征，后文则说国王和王后都穿高跟鞋，高跟鞋代表着自信、勇敢，甚至是高地位，故本句是在说明高跟鞋所代表的态度。故G选项“它们传达了一种坚强、有吸引力和强有力的态度”符合语境，故选G。
20．根据后文“You should always keep a good check on your shoes and wear the most suitable pair. You need to dress up according to the situation, surroundings, and people. Only when you can do that, can you create the desired impression with your shoes.(你应该经常检查你的鞋子，穿最合适的那双。你需要根据场合、环境和人来着装。只有做到这一点，你的鞋子才能给人留下理想的印象)”可知，本句为文章的总结段落，结合上文的内容可知，不同的靴子可以传达给人不同的信息和态度。故B选项“鞋子能传达的信息比你想象的要多”符合语境，故选B。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了对抗暴风雨的新方法——漂浮房屋。
21．下文“rising along with the water and going back to its original position after the rain stopped. (随着水的上升，雨停后又回到原来的位置。)”，及第二段开头“A floating house can be constructed on any shoreline and is able to deal with rising seas by remaining on the top of the water’s surface. (浮动房屋可以在任何海岸线上建造，并且能够通过留在水面顶部来应对海平面上升。)”可知，在暴雨来临时人们就登上了浮动房屋，雨停后就会回到原来的位置。A项“They then boarded their floating houses (然后他们登上了他们的浮动房屋)”与上下文一致。故选A。
22．根据下文“floating homes are fixed to the shore and are usually connected to the local sewer (污水管道) system and power grid.(漂浮房屋固定在岸边，通常连接到当地的下水道系统和电网。)”和“They are structurally similar to houses built on land. (它们在结构上类似于在陆地上建造的房屋。)可知，此处讲述漂浮房屋的建立，下文用陆地房屋与漂浮房屋进行比较，E项“Unlike houseboat which can easily be moved and relocated (不像可以很容易地移动和重新安置的的游艇)”符合语境，说明了漂浮房屋与游艇不一样，需要固定在岸边，不移动和重新安置。故选E。
23．根据下文“Siti Boelen, the Schoonschip resident, says that when she first moved in, stormy weather made her think twice. “You feel it in your stomach,” she says, adding that she has gotten used to the feeling. (Schoonschip居民Siti Boelen说，当她第一次搬进来时，暴风雨的天气让她三思。“你感受到你的胃在翻腾，”她说，并补充说她已经习惯了这种感觉。)”可知，居民Siti Boelen对于暴风雨天气起初很紧张，后来逐渐习惯，因此推断空处应是讲述暴风雨中的情况，G项“Severe wind and rain, or even the passing ships, can rock the buildings (狂风暴雨，甚至是过往的船只，都会撼动建筑物)”符合上下文，故选G。
24．根据上文“Floating homes also require extra infrastructure and work to connect to the electricity grid and sewer system. (漂浮房屋还需要额外的基础设施和工作来连接到电网和下水道系统。)可知，浮动房屋的建造需要额外基础设施的建立和额外的工作，因此需要资金投入，结合下文““If there are floods, it’s expected that many people will move to higher ground. But the alternative is to stay close to coastal cities and explore expansion onto the water,” says Rutger de Graaf. (“如果发生洪水，预计许多人将搬到更高的地方。但一种选择是留在沿海的城市，探索向水上扩张”Rutger de Graaf说。)”可知，如果发生洪水，人们会搬到高处，但是也可以选择探索向水上扩张，因此推断虽然浮动房屋的建造会需要大量开支，但是如果发生洪水，浮动房屋的会有益处，因此推断带来的收益可能大于开支，B项“But the benefits may outweigh the costs(浮动房屋的收益可能大于开支)”符合语境，承上启下。故选B。
25．根据下文“That’s unavoidable merely half a century away. We need to start now to increase the scale of floating developments. (这在半个世纪之后是不可避免的。我们需要从现在开始，扩大浮动开发的规模。)”可知，that指代上文提到的事情，空处应是讲述不可避免的事情，承接上文浮动房屋是为了应对洪水爆发，海平面上升，因此推断不可避免的事情是指发生洪水，海平面上升，人们会流离失所，F项“Hundreds of millions of people will be displaced by sea level rise(数亿人将因海平面上升而流离失所)”符合语境，下文倡导现在就需要开始漂浮房屋的研发。故选F。

Scientists have estimated that investing just 1.2% of global GDP in economic recovery packages could mean the difference between keeping global temperature rise below 1.5%, and a future where we are facing much more severe impacts—and higher costs. It’s essential that strong climate action is integrated into future investments.(我们需要找到在不受封锁经济和社会影响的情况下减排的方法。科学家们估计，仅将1.2%的全球GDP投资于经济复苏计划，可能意味着将全球气温上升控制在1.5%以下，与我们面临更严重影响和更高成本的未来之间的差异。将强有力的气候行动纳入未来的投资至关重要)”可知，后文提到了“将强有力的气候行动纳入未来的投资至关重要”，可见主要是一个经济投资计划，而不是气候行动计划。故B选项“这不是一个气候行动计划”符合语境，故选B。

98．上一段末句“We had no idea where we were, our mobile phones nearly out of charge.(我们不知道自己身在何处，我们的手机几乎没电了)”提到作者一家身陷困境，结合下文“He was a taxi driver.(他是一名出租车司机)”可知，空处应是提及一个帮助作者一家解决困境的人物，A项“就在这时，我们的英雄来了”符合语境。故选A。
99．上文“He was so kind as to offer to drive us around for the rest of our stay.(他好心地提出在我们剩下的逗留时间里开车载我们四处转转)”提到那名司机带作者一行人四处转转，结合下文“For the next four days, from floating markets to the temples of Wat Pho, our trip wouldn’t have been so trouble free without him.(在接下来的四天里，从水上市场到卧佛寺，如果没有他，我们的旅行不会这么顺利)”可知，作者一家应是很感谢那位司机，B项“我们感激不尽”符合语境，故选B。
100．根据上文“Sometimes when things don’t go according to plan, I think about the stranger we met on the streets and how a tiny mistake on our part led to unexpected results.(有时候，当事情没有按计划进行时，我会想起我们在街上遇到的那个陌生人，想到我们的一个小错误是如何导致意想不到的结果的)”可知，事情不按原计划发展时作者总会想起那位陌生人和那次旅行，所以空处应是总结那次旅行得出的教训，F项“这次旅行提醒我们，黑暗中总有一线光明”符合语境。故选F。
