All of Amazon’s US warehouse employees will once again be required to wear masks indoors beginning on Monday, whether they are vaccinated or not, the company confirmed to CNN Business on Friday.
The move comes one day after Amazon (AMZN) said it would delay its office return date for corporate employees until early next year. The back-to-back announcements highlight how one of America’s largest employers is rethinking its coronavirus policies in the face of rising infections linked to the Delta variant.
“In response to the concerning spread of Covid-19 variants in the US and guidance from public health authorities and our own medical experts, we are requiring face coverings indoors regardless of vaccination status,” said Kelly Nantel, an Amazon spokesperson, in a statement to CNN Business.
We are monitoring the situation closely and will continue to follow local government guidance and work closely with leading medical healthcare professionals, gathering their advice and recommendations as we go forward to ensure our buildings are optimized for the safety of our teams,” Nantel said.
A growing number of big companies have shifted their policies for corporate and frontline workers as the pandemic has worsened, in some cases requiring vaccinations. But for now, Amazon does not appear to be taking that step: Nantel declined to comment on whether the company is considering a vaccine mandate.
Amazon (AMZN) had relaxed its mask requirement on May 24 for fully vaccinated US warehouse workers, at least in areas where local regulations did not continue to require them. More recently, Amazon (AMZN) said it would stop offering on-site Covid-19 testing by the end of July, citing the wide availability of testing and vaccines.
Amazon’s business boomed during the pandemic as households and companies leaned on its various services. But the company was criticized early on in the pandemic after some workers said the company had not provided sufficient protective equipment or adequately cleaned its warehouses, leading to protests and lawsuits.
4. What is the main function of paragraph 1?
A. To introduce the topic B. To clarify the problem
C. To explain a concept D. To raise reader’s interest
5. What do we know about the move carried out by Amazon?
A. It means all of Amazon’s members will be required to wear masks indoors for the first time.
B. It will come into effect on Monday, in response to the request of corporate workers.
C. It implies the great impact of the Covid-19 variants on American economy.
D. It regulates that those who are not vaccinated should wear masks
6. Which of the following is TRUE according to paragraph 5 and 6?
A. Amazon had relaxed its mask requirement for uninfected workers.
B. All companies don’t require the workers to get vaccinated.
C. Amazon is still considering whether the testing should be stopped.
D. Few companies attach great significance to Covid-19.
7. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. After being criticized for its lack of protective equipment, Amazon took actions at once.
B. The demand for Amazon’s various services declined greatly during the pandemic.
C. The pandemic blocked the development of Amazon to some extent.
D. Amazon faced charges early on, for its lack of health and safety awareness

Search engines have changed the way we use the Internet, putting vast sources of information just a few clicks away. But Harvard professor of psychology Line Daniel Wegner’s recent research proves that websites and the Internet are changing much more than technology itself. They are changing the way our memories function. Wegner’s latest study shows that when people have access to search engines, they remember fewer facts and less information because they know they can rely on “search” as a readily available shortcut.
Wegner believes the new findings show that the Internet has become part of a transactive memory source, a method by which our brains divide information, which means you don’t have to remember everything in the world yourself. You just have to remember who knows it. Now computers and technology are becoming virtual extensions of our memory.
Wegner conducted several experiments to demonstrate the phenomenon, using various forms of memory recall to test reliance on computers. In one experiment, participants demonstrated that they were more likely to think of computer terms like “Yahoo” or “Google” after being asked a set of difficult trivia questions. In another experiment, participants typed some statements into a computer and they were told the statements would be saved in specific folders. Next, they were asked to recall the statements. Finally, they were given cues to the wording and asked to name the folders where the statements were stored. The participants proved better able to recall the folder locations than the statements themselves.
Wegner admits that questions remain about whether dependence on computers will affect memories negatively: “Nobody knows now what the effects of these tools are on logical thinking.” Students who have trouble remembering distinct facts, for example, may struggle to employ those facts in critical thinking. But he believes that the situation overall is beneficial, comparing dependence on computers to dependence on a mechanical hand or other prosthetic device.
And even though we may not be using our memories to recall distinct facts, we are still using them to consider where the facts are located and how to access them. “We still have to remember things,” Wegner explains. “We’re just remembering a different range of things.” He believes his study will lead to further research into understanding computer dependence, and looks forward to tracing the extent of human interdependence with the computer world — pinpointing the “movable dividing line between us and our computers in cyber networks.”
12. From the experiment, when asked to provide facts that are not familiar to them, people tend to ________.
A. think of specific information sources B. type into computer and remember them
C. recall them from their deep memories D. link the unfamiliar facts to their experiences
13. Which one can be an example of the transactive memory?
A. An actor organizes today’s schedule with his agent.
B. A student asks his teacher for today’s homework.
C. A husband relies on his wife to remember a relative’s birthday
D. A boss asks the staff about the performance of the previous month.
14. Which of the following can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Computer dependence affects our thinking capacities in other distinct fields.
B. Reliance on computers does not necessarily reduce human memory.
C. Computers have helped people to understand the memory system better.
D. Researches should be done to reveal the side effect of computer dependence.
15. Which of the following can serve as the best title?
A. Wegner’s Research Has Pinpointed The Dividing Line
B. Technological Networks Reshaping Our Brain Functions
C. Human’s Memory Capability Becoming Inevitably Weaker
D. Heavy Reliance On Computer For Storing More Information
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了计算机和技术正在重塑我们大脑的功能，并说明了研究开展的过程及意义。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“In one experiment, participants demonstrated that they were more likely to think of computer terms like “Yahoo” or “Google” after being asked a set of difficult trivia questions. In another experiment, participants typed some statements into a computer and they were told the statements would be saved in specific folders. Next, they were asked to recall the statements. Finally, they were given cues to the wording and asked to name the folders where the statements were stored. The participants proved better able to recall the folder locations than the statements themselves.(在一项实验中，参与者在被问及一系列复杂的琐事问题后，他们更有可能想到“雅虎”或“谷歌”等计算机术语。在另一项实验中，参与者在电脑中输入一些语句，并被告知这些语句将被保存在特定的文件夹中。接下来，他们被要求回忆这些陈述。最后，研究人员给他们提示，并要求他们说出存放这些语句的文件夹名称。事实证明，参与者能够更好地回忆文件夹位置，而不是语句本身)”可知，从实验中我们知道，当被要求提供他们不熟悉的事实时，人们倾向于想到特定的信息源。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Wegner believes the new findings show that the Internet has become part of a transactive memory source, a method by which our brains divide information, which means you don’t have to remember everything in the world yourself. You just have to remember who knows it.(韦格纳认为，新的发现表明，互联网已经成为交互记忆来源的一部分，这是我们的大脑划分信息的一种方法，这意味着你不必自己记住世界上的所有事情。你只要记住谁知道就行了)”可推知，C选项“丈夫依靠妻子记住亲戚的生日”是交互记忆的例子。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中““We still have to remember things,” Wegner explains. “We’re just remembering a different range of things.” He believes his study will lead to further research into understanding computer dependence, and looks forward to tracing the extent of human interdependence with the computer world — pinpointing the “movable dividing line between us and our computers in cyber networks.(韦格纳解释道：“我们仍然需要记住一些事情。我们只是记住了不同范围的事情。”他相信他的研究将导致对计算机依赖性的进一步研究，并期待追踪人类与计算机世界的相互依赖程度——确定“在网络中我们与计算机之间的可移动分界线”)”可推知，对计算机的依赖并不一定会减少人类的记忆。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Search engines have changed the way we use the Internet, putting vast sources of information just a few clicks away. But Harvard professor of psychology Line Daniel Wegner’s recent research proves that websites and the Internet are changing much more than technology itself. They are changing the way our memories function. (搜索引擎已经改变了我们使用互联网的方式，只需点击几下就能获得大量的信息。但哈佛大学心理学教授莱恩·丹尼尔·韦格纳最近的研究证明，网站和互联网正在发生的变化远不止技术本身。它们正在改变我们记忆的运作功能)”结合文章主要说明了计算机和技术正在重塑我们大脑的功能，并说明了研究开展的过程及意义，故B选项“技术网络重塑我们的大脑功能”符合文章大意，适合做标题，故选B。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。
A 2021 report from Habitat for Humanity International found that SDG 11.1 was actually regressing. We are seeing stagnation instead of progress toward the goal.
Governments must prioritize adequate housing, especially for those struggling to survive in today’s overcrowded settlements.___16___
Here are three steps that governments — and leaders in both the public and private sectors — can take to alleviate this growing housing crisis:
1. Prioritize land tenure (占有) security
Ensure residents of informal settlements have secure rights to the land they inhabit.
This has already happened on a large scale in countries such as Honduras, where civil society organizations and governments came together to form diverse commissions that developed policy recommendations around housing and land, negotiating approval of the recommendations and then monitoring their implementation. ___17___.
2.___18___
For residents of Freetown’s informal settlements and countless other cities, traditional avenues of housing finance are simply not accessible.___19___They exhibit similar characteristics to traditional mortgage loans, but their smaller size helps make them more accessible to families with lower incomes.
3. Strengthen climate-resilient housing
___20___.The public and private sectors can work together to support and invest in community start-ups specializing in low-cost, climate-resilient homes and locally sourced building materials. For example, an NGO based in Sierra Leone, Home Leone, has over the past 5 years been developing affordable housing utilizing low-cost construction techniques, and providing facilities to meet the basic needs of communities and an integrated approach to housing development for low-income communities.
We must act now to pave a stronger foundation for the more than 10 billion people expected to inhabit our cities by 2050. This starts with the urgent improvement of housing in rapidly expanding informal settlements worldwide. This long-overdue investment will more than pay for itself by building more prosperous and equitable communities for generations to come.
A. Expand finance for housing
B. Revolutionize mortgage loans
C. Informal settlements are highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change
D. That means increasing financial commitments by an order of magnitude and making meaningful policy changes.
E. But the situation has changed a lot.
F. Through their technical assistance, more than 1 million people have improved access to their land rights
G. Microloans offer hope by providing individuals with the means to access capital for housing improvements and upgrades.
【答案】16. D 17. F 18. A 19. G 20. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。国际人居中心2021年的一份报告发现，可持续发展目标11.1实际上正在倒退。我们看到的是停滞不前，而不是朝着目标前进。本文针对这一问题提出了几个建议。
【16题详解】
根据上文“Governments must prioritize adequate housing, especially for those struggling to survive in today’s overcrowded settlements.(各国政府必须优先考虑足够的住房，尤其是为那些在当今拥挤的定居点中挣扎求生的人提供足够的住房。)”可知此处上下文说的是政府要提供足够的住房。增加住房就意味着更多的财政投入，可推理出下文说的是与财政投入的增加有关的话题，与D项“That means increasing financial commitments by an order of magnitude and making meaningful policy changes.(这意味着将财政承诺增加一个数量级，并做出有意义的政策改变)”表达的含义一致，故选D项。
【17题详解】
根据上文“Ensure residents of informal settlements have secure rights to the land they inhabit.(确保非正规住区的居民对其居住的土地享有安全的权利。)”可知此处上下文说的是与保障居民所居住的土地安全有关的话题，与F项“Through their technical assistance, more than 1 million people have improved access to their land rights(通过技术援助，100多万人改善了获得土地权利的机会)”表达的含义一致，故选F项。
【18题详解】
根据下文“For residents of Freetown’s informal settlements and countless other cities, traditional avenues of housing finance are simply not accessible.(对于弗里敦非正规定居点和无数其他城市的居民来说，传统的住房融资渠道根本无法获得。)”可知下文提出了一个需要解决的问题，可推理出下文对这一问题给与扩大住房融资有关的建议，与A项“Expand finance for housing(扩大住房融资)”表达的含义一致，故选A项。
【19题详解】
根据下文“They exhibit similar characteristics to traditional mortgage loans, but their smaller size helps make them more accessible to families with lower incomes.(它们表现出与传统抵押贷款相似的特征，但较小的规模有助于低收入家庭更容易获得这些贷款。)”可知此处上下文说的是与小额贷款有助于解决问题有关的话题，与G项“Microloans offer hope by providing individuals with the means to access capital for housing improvements and upgrades.(小额贷款为个人提供了获得住房改善和升级资金的途径，从而带来了希望。)”表达的含义一致，故选G项。
【20题详解】
根据下文“The public and private sectors can work together to support and invest in community start-ups specializing in low-cost, climate-resilient homes and locally sourced building materials.(公共和私营部门可以合作，支持和投资社区初创企业，专门从事低成本、气候适应性强的住房和当地采购的建筑材料。)”可推理出上文解释了为什么要支持从事气候适应性强的住房的初创企业，与C项“Informal settlements are highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change(非正规住区极易受到气候变化的影响)”表达的含义一致，故选C项。

It was a Sunday morning. Betty woke up earlier than usual. She couldn’t sleep any longer because she was so excited that her uncle Mark was taking her to the beach. She had always loved going surfing with her uncle. She put her swimming suit on and took her bag quickly that she had prepared the night before and went outside to wait. She jumped up and down with joy when she saw her uncle’s red jeep turn the corner down her street.
Uncle Mark got out of the car and helped Betty get in. “Are you ready?” he asked. “Yes!” replied Betty. Uncle Mark could see the excitement in her face. Suddenly he said seriously, “well, before we go, I have to let you know that a shark appeared recently where we’re going to surf today.” Scared and shocked, Betty couldn’t say a word. “Haha! I’m kidding you, “Uncle Mark burst out laughing. Betty laughed too. She knew Uncle Mark liked teasing others. “Let’s go and have some breakfast, I know just the place,” Uncle Mark said. They went to a breakfast shop and ate some tacos (炸玉米饼).
After breakfast the two of them went down to Pacific Beach and got their surfboards ready. “First you have to wax (打蜡) the bottom,” explained Uncle Mark. “I know. I’ve watched you do it before!” Betty said as she took the wax from Uncle Mark’s hand. It took about 15 minutes to wax the bottom of their boards. When Betty finished, Uncle Mark looked it over to make sure it was done well. “Nice job, Betty, you wax your board like a true surfer.”
Finally, they were ready to get into the water. They carried their boards down to the beach and went out into the water. Betty was overly excited and tried to rush to catch a wave. Predictably, she crashed and had to start over. Next was her uncle’s turn. He stood up on his first try and smoothly surfed the wave before jumping into the water. Betty cheered for her uncle’s perfect run.

【答案】范文
All of a sudden, Betty felt something touching the bottom of her foot. Failing to resist the impulse of curiosity, she lowered her glance. Within a second, her cheeks paled, and a chill swept over her body. A set of crimson and fierce eyes came into her sight. A shark, its tail shaking, its jaws clicking, made a leap from the sea and afterwards dove back into the water. Picturing the shark teeth tore meat off her leg, Betty felt a sinking in her heart, and her heart in her throat.
“Help! Help!” Betty screamed in horror. No reply. All was silence. The wave of the Pacific Ocean rose, tightening her throat, making it more and more hard to breathe. “God bless,” she prayed desperately with quivering lips. Before the consciousness was lost totally, a familiar voice broke the dead silence. It was Uncle Mark who swam close in a rush, grasped Betty firmly with one hand, and dragged her toward the beach. With the tide gently rolling to her feet, Betty, sitting in the sand felt the wave of relief swept across the beach.

All of Amazon’s US warehouse employees will once again be required to wear masks indoors beginning on Monday, whether they are vaccinated or not, the company confirmed to CNN Business on Friday.
The move comes one day after Amazon (AMZN) said it would delay its office return date for corporate employees until early next year. The back-to-back announcements highlight how one of America’s largest employers is rethinking its coronavirus policies in the face of rising infections linked to the Delta variant.
“In response to the concerning spread of Covid-19 variants in the US and guidance from public health authorities and our own medical experts, we are requiring face coverings indoors regardless of vaccination status,” said Kelly Nantel, an Amazon spokesperson, in a statement to CNN Business.
We are monitoring the situation closely and will continue to follow local government guidance and work closely with leading medical healthcare professionals, gathering their advice and recommendations as we go forward to ensure our buildings are optimized for the safety of our teams,” Nantel said.
A growing number of big companies have shifted their policies for corporate and frontline workers as the pandemic has worsened, in some cases requiring vaccinations. But for now, Amazon does not appear to be taking that step: Nantel declined to comment on whether the company is considering a vaccine mandate.
Amazon (AMZN) had relaxed its mask requirement on May 24 for fully vaccinated US warehouse workers, at least in areas where local regulations did not continue to require them. More recently, Amazon (AMZN) said it would stop offering on-site Covid-19 testing by the end of July, citing the wide availability of testing and vaccines.
Amazon’s business boomed during the pandemic as households and companies leaned on its various services. But the company was criticized early on in the pandemic after some workers said the company had not provided sufficient protective equipment or adequately cleaned its warehouses, leading to protests and lawsuits.
4. What is the main function of paragraph 1?
A. To introduce the topic B. To clarify the problem
C. To explain a concept D. To raise reader’s interest
5. What do we know about the move carried out by Amazon?
A. It means all of Amazon’s members will be required to wear masks indoors for the first time.
B. It will come into effect on Monday, in response to the request of corporate workers.
C. It implies the great impact of the Covid-19 variants on American economy.
D. It regulates that those who are not vaccinated should wear masks
6. Which of the following is TRUE according to paragraph 5 and 6?
A. Amazon had relaxed its mask requirement for uninfected workers.
B. All companies don’t require the workers to get vaccinated.
C. Amazon is still considering whether the testing should be stopped.
D. Few companies attach great significance to Covid-19.
7. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. After being criticized for its lack of protective equipment, Amazon took actions at once.
B. The demand for Amazon’s various services declined greatly during the pandemic.
C. The pandemic blocked the development of Amazon to some extent.
D. Amazon faced charges early on, for its lack of health and safety awareness
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. D

Residents at Parkfield House Nursing Home celebrated the end of a £10,000 project with a showcase of their work with friends and family.
For the past year the group, known as the Parkfield Peckers, have worked closely with artists, Glebe Primary School and creative ageing charity Equal Arts as they delved into the history of the area and those who’ve lived at the 19th Century home.
Hannah Wood from charity Equal Arts said: “The exhibition at Uxbridge Civic Centre was just the icing on the cake! Going into the project, there was so much enthusiasm from the group to explore the heritage of the home, so many have their roots in the area and we were keen to capture and share their knowledge in creative ways.”
There’s been a mixture of creativity with illustration, photography, portraiture, music, story-telling and collage as the group took part in weekly artist-led workshops and linked up with schoolchildren to share ideas.

She said: “It’s been a busy year and we have all loved every minute of it. It’s been a privilege to learn about our fascinating heritage and a joy to see our residents grow in confidence each week as they were introduced to the different workshops and artists. We have enjoyed strengthening our relationships with the local community, especially with the staff and children at Glebe Primary School.”
Clare Sheldon, who provides Pastoral Support at Glebe Primary School, said: “The children have been proud to be a part of this project and connect with the Parkfield residents. It’s been great for them to have experience in talking to and sharing with older people, it gives them a stronger sense of understanding and compassion. This project has been a great way of exploring their own emotions and identity and we look forward to continuing our friendship with Parkfield.”

Search engines have changed the way we use the Internet, putting vast sources of information just a few clicks away. But Harvard professor of psychology Line Daniel Wegner’s recent research proves that websites and the Internet are changing much more than technology itself. They are changing the way our memories function. Wegner’s latest study shows that when people have access to search engines, they remember fewer facts and less information because they know they can rely on “search” as a readily available shortcut.
Wegner believes the new findings show that the Internet has become part of a transactive memory source, a method by which our brains divide information, which means you don’t have to remember everything in the world yourself. You just have to remember who knows it. Now computers and technology are becoming virtual extensions of our memory.
Wegner conducted several experiments to demonstrate the phenomenon, using various forms of memory recall to test reliance on computers. In one experiment, participants demonstrated that they were more likely to think of computer terms like “Yahoo” or “Google” after being asked a set of difficult trivia questions. In another experiment, participants typed some statements into a computer and they were told the statements would be saved in specific folders. Next, they were asked to recall the statements. Finally, they were given cues to the wording and asked to name the folders where the statements were stored. The participants proved better able to recall the folder locations than the statements themselves.
Wegner admits that questions remain about whether dependence on computers will affect memories negatively: “Nobody knows now what the effects of these tools are on logical thinking.” Students who have trouble remembering distinct facts, for example, may struggle to employ those facts in critical thinking. But he believes that the situation overall is beneficial, comparing dependence on computers to dependence on a mechanical hand or other prosthetic device.
And even though we may not be using our memories to recall distinct facts, we are still using them to consider where the facts are located and how to access them. “We still have to remember things,” Wegner explains. “We’re just remembering a different range of things.” He believes his study will lead to further research into understanding computer dependence, and looks forward to tracing the extent of human interdependence with the computer world — pinpointing the “movable dividing line between us and our computers in cyber networks.”
12. From the experiment, when asked to provide facts that are not familiar to them, people tend to ________.
A. think of specific information sources B. type into computer and remember them
C. recall them from their deep memories D. link the unfamiliar facts to their experiences
13. Which one can be an example of the transactive memory?
A. An actor organizes today’s schedule with his agent.
B. A student asks his teacher for today’s homework.
C. A husband relies on his wife to remember a relative’s birthday
D. A boss asks the staff about the performance of the previous month.
14. Which of the following can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Computer dependence affects our thinking capacities in other distinct fields.
B. Reliance on computers does not necessarily reduce human memory.
C. Computers have helped people to understand the memory system better.
D. Researches should be done to reveal the side effect of computer dependence.
15. Which of the following can serve as the best title?
A. Wegner’s Research Has Pinpointed The Dividing Line
B. Technological Networks Reshaping Our Brain Functions
C. Human’s Memory Capability Becoming Inevitably Weaker
D. Heavy Reliance On Computer For Storing More Information
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. B
【解析】

In another experiment, participants typed some statements into a computer and they were told the statements would be saved in specific folders. Next, they were asked to recall the statements. Finally, they were given cues to the wording and asked to name the folders where the statements were stored. The participants proved better able to recall the folder locations than the statements themselves.(在一项实验中，参与者在被问及一系列复杂的琐事问题后，他们更有可能想到“雅虎”或“谷歌”等计算机术语。在另一项实验中，参与者在电脑中输入一些语句，并被告知这些语句将被保存在特定的文件夹中。接下来，他们被要求回忆这些陈述。最后，研究人员给他们提示，并要求他们说出存放这些语句的文件夹名称。事实证明，参与者能够更好地回忆文件夹位置，而不是语句本身)”可知，从实验中我们知道，当被要求提供他们不熟悉的事实时，人们倾向于想到特定的信息源。故选A。

【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Search engines have changed the way we use the Internet, putting vast sources of information just a few clicks away. But Harvard professor of psychology Line Daniel Wegner’s recent research proves that websites and the Internet are changing much more than technology itself. They are changing the way our memories function. (搜索引擎已经改变了我们使用互联网的方式，只需点击几下就能获得大量的信息。但哈佛大学心理学教授莱恩·丹尼尔·韦格纳最近的研究证明，网站和互联网正在发生的变化远不止技术本身。它们正在改变我们记忆的运作功能)”结合文章主要说明了计算机和技术正在重塑我们大脑的功能，并说明了研究开展的过程及意义，故B选项“技术网络重塑我们的大脑功能”符合文章大意，适合做标题，故选B。

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。
A 2021 report from Habitat for Humanity International found that SDG 11.1 was actually regressing. We are seeing stagnation instead of progress toward the goal.
Governments must prioritize adequate housing, especially for those struggling to survive in today’s overcrowded settlements.___16___
Here are three steps that governments — and leaders in both the public and private sectors — can take to alleviate this growing housing crisis:
1. Prioritize land tenure (占有) security
Ensure residents of informal settlements have secure rights to the land they inhabit.
This has already happened on a large scale in countries such as Honduras, where civil society organizations and governments came together to form diverse commissions that developed policy recommendations around housing and land, negotiating approval of the recommendations and then monitoring their implementation. ___17___.
2.___18___
For residents of Freetown’s informal settlements and countless other cities, traditional avenues of housing finance are simply not accessible.___19___They exhibit similar characteristics to traditional mortgage loans, but their smaller size helps make them more accessible to families with lower incomes.
3. Strengthen climate-resilient housing
___20___.The public and private sectors can work together to support and invest in community start-ups specializing in low-cost, climate-resilient homes and locally sourced building materials. For example, an NGO based in Sierra Leone, Home Leone, has over the past 5 years been developing affordable housing utilizing low-cost construction techniques, and providing facilities to meet the basic needs of communities and an integrated approach to housing development for low-income communities.
We must act now to pave a stronger foundation for the more than 10 billion people expected to inhabit our cities by 2050. This starts with the urgent improvement of housing in rapidly expanding informal settlements worldwide. This long-overdue investment will more than pay for itself by building more prosperous and equitable communities for generations to come.
A. Expand finance for housing
B. Revolutionize mortgage loans
C. Informal settlements are highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change
D. That means increasing financial commitments by an order of magnitude and making meaningful policy changes.
E. But the situation has changed a lot.
F. Through their technical assistance, more than 1 million people have improved access to their land rights
G. Microloans offer hope by providing individuals with the means to access capital for housing improvements and upgrades.
【答案】16. D 17. F 18. A 19. G 20. C

【18题详解】
根据下文“For residents of Freetown’s informal settlements and countless other cities, traditional avenues of housing finance are simply not accessible.(对于弗里敦非正规定居点和无数其他城市的居民来说，传统的住房融资渠道根本无法获得。)”可知下文提出了一个需要解决的问题，可推理出下文对这一问题给与扩大住房融资有关的建议，与A项“Expand finance for housing(扩大住房融资)”表达的含义一致，故选A项。
【19题详解】
根据下文“They exhibit similar characteristics to traditional mortgage loans, but their smaller size helps make them more accessible to families with lower incomes.(它们表现出与传统抵押贷款相似的特征，但较小的规模有助于低收入家庭更容易获得这些贷款。)”可知此处上下文说的是与小额贷款有助于解决问题有关的话题，与G项“Microloans offer hope by providing individuals with the means to access capital for housing improvements and upgrades.(小额贷款为个人提供了获得住房改善和升级资金的途径，从而带来了希望。)”表达的含义一致，故选G项。
【20题详解】
根据下文“The public and private sectors can work together to support and invest in community start-ups specializing in low-cost, climate-resilient homes and locally sourced building materials.(公共和私营部门可以合作，支持和投资社区初创企业，专门从事低成本、气候适应性强的住房和当地采购的建筑材料。)”可推理出上文解释了为什么要支持从事气候适应性强的住房的初创企业，与C项“Informal settlements are highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change(非正规住区极易受到气候变化的影响)”表达的含义一致，故选C项。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was a Sunday morning. Betty woke up earlier than usual. She couldn’t sleep any longer because she was so excited that her uncle Mark was taking her to the beach. She had always loved going surfing with her uncle. She put her swimming suit on and took her bag quickly that she had prepared the night before and went outside to wait. She jumped up and down with joy when she saw her uncle’s red jeep turn the corner down her street.
Uncle Mark got out of the car and helped Betty get in. “Are you ready?” he asked. “Yes!” replied Betty. Uncle Mark could see the excitement in her face. Suddenly he said seriously, “well, before we go, I have to let you know that a shark appeared recently where we’re going to surf today.” Scared and shocked, Betty couldn’t say a word. “Haha! I’m kidding you, “Uncle Mark burst out laughing. Betty laughed too. She knew Uncle Mark liked teasing others. “Let’s go and have some breakfast, I know just the place,” Uncle Mark said. They went to a breakfast shop and ate some tacos (炸玉米饼).
After breakfast the two of them went down to Pacific Beach and got their surfboards ready. “First you have to wax (打蜡) the bottom,” explained Uncle Mark. “I know. I’ve watched you do it before!” Betty said as she took the wax from Uncle Mark’s hand. It took about 15 minutes to wax the bottom of their boards. When Betty finished, Uncle Mark looked it over to make sure it was done well. “Nice job, Betty, you wax your board like a true surfer.”
Finally, they were ready to get into the water. They carried their boards down to the beach and went out into the water. Betty was overly excited and tried to rush to catch a wave. Predictably, she crashed and had to start over. Next was her uncle’s turn. He stood up on his first try and smoothly surfed the wave before jumping into the water. Betty cheered for her uncle’s perfect run.

【答案】范文
All of a sudden, Betty felt something touching the bottom of her foot. Failing to resist the impulse of curiosity, she lowered her glance. Within a second, her cheeks paled, and a chill swept over her body. A set of crimson and fierce eyes came into her sight. A shark, its tail shaking, its jaws clicking, made a leap from the sea and afterwards dove back into the water. Picturing the shark teeth tore meat off her leg, Betty felt a sinking in her heart, and her heart in her throat.
“Help! Help!” Betty screamed in horror. No reply. All was silence. The wave of the Pacific Ocean rose, tightening her throat, making it more and more hard to breathe. “God bless,” she prayed desperately with quivering lips. Before the consciousness was lost totally, a familiar voice broke the dead silence. It was Uncle Mark who swam close in a rush, grasped Betty firmly with one hand, and dragged her toward the beach. With the tide gently rolling to her feet, Betty, sitting in the sand felt the wave of relief swept across the beach.
