A few years ago, at a medical laboratory clinic in Waterloo, an elderly woman sat on the edge of a waiting room chair singing the tune "My Heart Will Go On". With little effort, she sent her sweet voice exploding into every comer of the clinic.

I was there with my father when the woman arrived. She settled into the seat directly across from my father. Because she was so tiny, she had to sit on the edge of the chair so her feet could touch the floor. It seemed as though she was sitting forward to start a conversation with him. I was concerned about how my father would react to the possible invasion of his space. He was 77 and had been living with Alzheimer's disease for several years. Since Alzheimers has a tendency to destroy a person's patience, Dad had had a few challenging experiences in the past. I couldn't help but think that this woman was playing with fire.

Her singing began gently. My father was staring right at her. 1 couldn’t read his expression, but it seemed to be something like confusion. 1 wondered whether he was actually looking at her or if he was lost somewhere deep in his mind. Or maybe he was trying to discover whether this was someone he should know. That was what was happening now: no polite smile, no friendly nod. Just a stare. This lack of important acknowledgment didn’t deter the little woman one bit and her singing slowly got louder. Getting to the chorus, she was totally lost in her own singing with her eyes shut.

Still, I watched for any signs of an outburst of anger. But he didn't show any signs of an explosion. Instead, his face softened and he was starting to look entertained. When her song ended, the woman opened her eyes. My dad was still looking directly at her. ''That was beautiful,” he said. And she smiled and said, "Thank you.”

24.   Why did the author worry about the woman's sitting opposite?

A. Her father might lose his privacy.

B. Her father was likely to get annoyed.

C. Her father could be reminded of the past.

D. Her father had no patience with strangers.

25.   What does the underlined word “deter” in paragraph 3 mean?

A. Panic.  B. Confuse.  C. Surprise.  D. Discourage.

26.   How did the author find her father's final behaviour?

A. Typical.  B. Awkward.  C. Unexpected.  D. Unacceptable.

27.   What is the best title for the text?

A. A song awakens my father B. Music is the best medicine

C. A tune draws people closer D. Classics will always live on

C

A walk in the park may be just what the doctor ordered. A new program launched last month in Canada gives some doctors the option of providing patients with a free annual pass to the country’s national parks as part of an effort to increase access to nature and the health benefits.

PaRx, a health initiative（倡议）launched by the BC Parks Foundation in 2019, partnered with Parks Canada to provide doctors across four provinces with an initial run of 100 passes that can be prescribed （开处方）. The program allows doctors to write more general prescriptions for time spent out in nature; two hours a week, at least 20 minutes at a time, is what PaRx director Dr. Melissa Lem suggests.

“Given the growing body of evidence that indicates nature time can improve all kinds of different physical and mental health conditions, we5re hoping that our PaRx program not only improves patient health, but reduces costs to the health-care system, and helps to grow the number of people who are more engaged environmental advocates, said Prama Rahman, a coordinator for the BC Parks Foundation.

Doctors have been catching on, instructing their patients to turn to nature to improve their health and they're getting creative in how they do it. Dr. Robert Zarr, a doctor based in Washington, began prescribing accessible outdoor activities for his young patients and even created a searchable online database of local parks to make it easier.

But getting outside isn't always as easy as it might sound. Income can affect one's access to nature, an issue that PaRx is trying to address in Canada. Doctors utilizing the new national parks pass program are urged to prioritize patients who might not otherwise be able to afford these passes.

While only 100 adult passes, which give holders access to more than 80 national parks, historic sites and nature reserves, have initially been made available, organizers plan to routinely reassess this number as the program grows, the BC Parks Foundation told NPR.

28.   What is PaRx intended to do?

A. Qualify doctors to prescribe.  B. Give patients free access to parks.

C. Promote free admission to parks.  D. Advocate 20 minutes5 walk a day.

29.   What does the underlined word “utilizing“ in paragraph 5 probably mean?

A. Financing. B. Setting up. C. Evaluating. D. Carrying out.

30.   What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A. The BC Parks Foundation is expanding rapidly.

B. The program has signed up 80 national parks.

C. More people will benefit from the program.

D. Those living Close to parks can gain priority.

31 . Which is the best title of the text?

A. PaRx, a Nature Prescription Program.  B. BC Parks Foundation in Canada

C. Year-long Passes to National Parks D. A New Study on Benefits of Walk

There are few places on Earth that humans haven't messed up. Now even Antarctica, the only continent with no permanent human inhabitants, is being changed by us. A study found that the increasing human presence in Antarctica is causing more snow melt-bad news, for a frozen world already battling the effects of human-Caused global warming.                

Black carbon, the dark, dusty pollution that comes from burning fossil, fuels has settled in locations where tourists and researchers spend a lot of time, scientists found. Even the smallest amount of the dark pollutant. can have a significant impact on melting because of its very low reflectiveness: things that are light in color, like snow, reflect the sun's energy and stay cool; things that are dark, like black carbon, absorb the sun’s energy and warm up.

“The snow albedo （反射率）effect is one of the largest uncertainties in regional and global climate modeling right now,” Alia Khan, a snow and ice scientist at Western Washington University, told CNN. "That's one of the motivations for the study, to quantify the impact of black carbon on regional snowmelt, which is important for quantifying the role of black carbon in the global loss of snow and ice. “

“Antarctica is sitting there pretty much silently all year. But, if it weren't there, in the state that it is meant to be, the balance that we have in the climate system will no longer be J Marilyn Raphael, a geography professor said. "Antarctica's sea ice is also important to maintain a balance in atmospheric circulation, he added. As waters get warmer, some Antarctic creatures are finding their homes more and more unlivable.

“Everything we do has consequences, Raphael said. MWe need to educate ourselves about those consequences, especially in systems that we know relatively little about. We have to be careful that we don5t upset the climate balance. “

32. Why can the smallest amount of black carbon have huge impact on melting?

A. It is highly reflective.  B. Its dark colour absorbs heat.

C. It produces vast energy.  D. It causes much pollution.

3 3. According to Alia, which of the following is one reason for conducting the study?

A. To measure the impact of black carbon on melting.

B. To quantify the cost of battling against climate change.

C. To remove the uncertainties of global warming effects.

D. To urge people to pay more attention to melting problem.

34      . What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?

A. The change caused by Antarctic melting.

B. The methods to stop Antarctic ice melting.

C. The significance of Antarctic being in its state.

D. The sufferings Antarctic creatures are experiencing.

35      . What does Raphael advise people to do?

A. Reduce tourist numbers.  B. Face the consequences.

C. Acquire professional education.  D. Stop disturbing the climate.
