Standing n the ruins after the fire where his huse had been, Peter Ruprecht recgnized that he was nt sure hw r when t rebuild. He was still shcked by what Australia’s increasingly changeable climate had already delivered: first a drught, then a destructive bush fire, then heavy rain frm a strm.
“It’s unstppable,” said Mr. Ruprecht, a frmer dairy farmer. “We speak abut the warmth f Mther Nature, but nature can als be vicius and wild and unfrgiving.”
Australia’s hellish (地狱的) fire seasn has cme t an end, but its peple are facing mre than a single disaster. With flds destrying hmes nt far frm where fires recently spread, they are facing a cycle f what scientists call “cmpund extremes”: ne climate disaster strengthening the next.
Warmer temperatures d mre than just dry ut the land. They als heat up the atmsphere(大气层), which means cluds hld mre misture (水汽) fr lnger perids f time. S drughts get wrse, giving way t fires, then t heavy rains that the land is t dry t take in.
Many Australians in disaster areas cmplain that their gvernment, after paying little attentin t climate change fr years, has nt yet t make recvery plans that are clear and that take future risks int cnsideratin.
At the same time, the ecnmic csts f a changing climate are rising quickly. Philip Lwe, the gvernr f the Reserve Bank f Australia, warned recently that Australia was already paying a price, and that it wuld nly g up.
24. Peter Ruprecht is mentined in the beginning t ______.
A. t aruse readers’ pityB. t intrduce the tpic
C. t stress the prblemD. t call n readers t help
25. Which wrd can replace the underlined wrd “vicius” in Paragraph 2?
A. Graceful.B. Balanced.C. Respnsible.D. vilent
26. What is the main cause f “cmpund extremes” in Australia?
A. Gvernment inactin.B. Warmer temperature.
C. The shrtage f mney.D. N recvery plans.
27. Where is the text prbably frm?
A. A guidebk.B. A travel jurnal.
C. A news reprt.D. A bk review.
C
In mdern sciety there is a great deal f argument abut cmpetitin. Sme value it highly, believing that it is respnsible fr scial prgress and prsperity; thers say that cmpetitin is bad; that it sets ne persn against anther; that it leads t unfriendly relatinship between peple.
I have taught many children wh held the belief that their self-wrth relied n hw well they perfrmed at tennis and ther skills. Fr them, playing well and winning are ften life-and-death affairs. In their single-minded pursuit(追求) f success, the develpment f many ther human qualities is sadly frgtten.
Hwever, while sme seem t be lst in the desire t succeed, thers take an ttally different attitude. In a culture which values nly the winner and pays n attentin t the rdinary players, they strngly blame(责备) cmpetitin. Amng the mst vcal are yungsters wh have suffered under cmpetitive pressures frm their parents r sciety. Teaching these yung peple, I ften bserve in them a desire t fail. They seem t seek failure by nt trying t win r achieve success. By nt trying, they always have an excuse: “I may have lst, but it desn’t matter because I really didn’t try.” What is nt usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lst, that wuld mean a lt. Such a lss wuld be a measure f their wrth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that f the true cmpetitrs wh try t prve themselves. Bth are based n the mistaken belief that ne’s self-respect relies n hw well ne perfrms in cmparisn with thers. Bth are afraid f nt being valued. Only as this basic and ften trublesme fear begins t weaken can we discver a new meaning in cmpetitin.
28. What des this passage mainly talk abut?
A. Cmpetitin helps t set up self-respect.
B. Cmpetitin is harmful t persnal quality develpment.
C. Opinins abut cmpetitin are different amng peple.
D. Failures are necessary experiences in cmpetitin.
29. Why d sme peple prefer cmpetitin accrding t the passage?
A. Because it builds up a sense f duty.
B. Because it pushes sciety frward.
C. Because it imprves persnal abilities.
D. Because it encurages individual effrts.
30. What is the similar belief f the true cmpetitrs and thse with a desire t fail?
A. One’s success is based n hw hard he has tried.
B. One’s success in cmpetitin needs great effrts.
C. One’s achievement is determined by his particular skills.
D. One’s wrth lies in his perfrmance cmpared with thers.
31. Which pint f view may the authr agree t?
A. Fear f failure shuld be taken away in cmpetitin.
B. Cmpetitin shuld be encuraged.
C. Winning shuld be a life-and-death matter.
D. Every effrt shuld be paid back.
D
Fr many, travel isn’t just abut the destinatin — it’s abut making the mst f the jurney. Hwever, fr a lt f peple, the jurney is ften ruined by an uncmfrtable experience ften accmpanied by vmiting(呕吐), knwn as mtin sickness. If yu’ve ever felt the unwelcme urge t vmit while reading r using yur device in a mving vehicle, yu’re nt alne. Recgnizing this cmmn issue, Apple has stepped up t ffer a slutin: the Vehicle Mtin Cues feature(功能) fr iPhnes and iPads.
Mtin sickness ccurs when there is a discnnect between what yur eyes see and what yur bdy feels. When yu’re in a mving vehicle, yur bdy senses mtin thrugh its vestibular system (the inner ear), but if yur eyes are fcused n a still screen that desn’t reflect this mvement, the brain receives mixed signals. This sensry(感官的) cnflict can lead t dizziness(头晕), nausea, and verall discmfrt – symptms（症状）all t familiar t mtin sickness sufferers.
Apple’s new Vehicle Mtin Cues feature is designed t bridge this gap and bring relief t thse likely t experience mtin sickness. This feature wrks by shwing animated(动画的) dts arund yur screen, which mve at the same time and speed as the mtin f yur vehicle. These mving cues help keep the mtin yur bdy feels in agreement with what yur eyes see, effectively reducing the sensry mismatch that causes mtin sickness. By matching the visual input with the physical sensatins f mtin, yur brain is less likely t experience the cnfusin that leads t sickness.
Early reprts and user feedback(反馈) indicate that Vehicle Mtin Cues is receiving high praise fr its effectiveness. S next time yu embark n a jurney, whether shrt r lng, remember that Apple’s gt yur back — r rather, yur brain - helping yu make the mst f every mile with ease and cmfrt.
32. Which type f peple can be interested in Vehicle Mtin Cues?
A. Frequent travelers.B. Bk lvers.
C. Vehicle peratrs.D. Sprt scientists.
33. What is paragraph 2 mainly abut?
A. The principle f Apple’s new design.
B. The cause f mtin sickness.
C. The functins f Apples new design.
D. The symptms f mtin sickness.
34. By displaying animated dts arund the screen, Applet Vehicle Mtin Cues is able
t_____.
A. ease sensry cnflicts in the brain
B. tell the mismatched physical sensatins
C. balance the mvement f ur eyes and bdy
D. increase the effectiveness f vehicle mtin
35. Which can be the best title f the passage?
A. Make the Mst f Yur Jurney: Apple Bridges the. Gap
B. Find the Magic f a Mving Vehicle: Apple’s Gt! Yur Back
C. Enjy Yur Reading: Apple Offers a Revlutinary Slutin
D. Say Gdbye t Mtin Sickness: Apple Intrduces Its New Design
