16、English without any problem.23. In which part of a newspaper would you most probably read the passage?A. TravelB. CulturesC. EntertainmentsD. BusinessesBTo understand the effect of ice melting around the world we first have to understand what an ice sheet actually is. Covering 5.4 million square mil
17、es in Antarctica and 656,000 square miles in Greenland (our two remaining ice sheets today), an ice sheet is actually a huge land of ice from the Ice Age. These sheets, over thousands of years, form by snow changing into ice over the winter, which doesnt entirely melt during the summer. This ice, ho
18、me to different species of animals, is now melting at a rate that cannot support the life it currently holds.Many of these creatures rely on ice sheets as land for resting, hunting and protection, yet as the size decreases, they are forced out of their homeland in search of other land on which to li
19、ve. Often this means journeys to search for food and an imbalanced ecosystem arises when different species are forced together onto the coast.Since the 1990s, the deer population has dropped by 56 per centclimate change has caused warmer temperatures over winter setting off rainfall instead of snow,
20、 which freezes more quickly underfoot and makes it harder to walk and search for food. In the summer, frozen layers of land melts and releases trapped diseases which bring death to animals. A similar situation has fallen on the polar bears who suffered a 40 per cent population loss between 2001-2010
21、.Quite apart from these problems, the threat of sea levels rising if the ice caps were to disappear is approaching. If the Greenland Ice Sheet melted, the sea level would rise around six meters, and if the Antarctic Ice Sheet melted, sea levels would rise by around 20 feet. As a matter of fact, sea
22、levels have risen about eight inches since 1880, three of which weve gained over the last 25 years. This seemingly small amount has already caused dangerous flooding, loss of farmland and more deadly storms.While were still a long way from losing the ice sheets all together, weve already lost too mu
23、ch for many ecosystems and humans to reasonably survive under, and if we dont take climate change seriously now, we will certainly hit the point of no return.24.

26、ld be the best title for this passage?A. Effect of Melting Ice SheetsB. Ice, Sea and AnimalsC. Greenland and AntarcticaD. Changes of Sea LevelsCMy last foreign journey before lock down was to Shanghaia place Id visited nearly 30 years ago. This time, I spotted the hotel Id stayed in on my first trip
27、 and was shocked by how many memories came flooding back. I was astonished at just how much I recognized.Even more amazing was how much the place made me remember. Suddenly I was the “me” from 30 years ago. The design, the decoration, the smell . they were all working together to take me back in tim
28、e, in rich detail, and with a powerful emotional kick.Buildings often have this power to cause our recall. On a scientific level, its all about context. What you remember is linked strongly to where you were at the time. So, returning to that physical space helps to bring it back to mind, especially
29、 with all the sense factors there to help. Thats why it can be so difficult to remember something youve learned in one place when youre somewhere else. In an exam hall, for example, its harder to recall information than in the room where you went over lessons.But its not all about location. Emotiona
30、l context is equally important. When you revisit somewhere and it reminds you of how you felt in the past, those familiar feelings can bring everything else back.You dont even have to return physically. You can go there in your imagination and still enjoy reconnecting with your past (in exams, I use
31、d to “imagine” myself back into my bedroom!).Try it now. Pick a building you feel nostalgic about, and imagine standing there, looking around. If a pleasant detail comes to mind, focus on it for a moment, in case it starts a chain reaction of recall. What can you hear, smell, touch or taste there, t
32、oo?Most importantly, get yourself into feelings about “being” in this space. Youll create a powerful mental circle: the physical details awaken your feelings, and those feelings bring back more and more details about your past.Start seizing every opportunity you get to revisit meaningful buildings,
33、either for real or in your imagination. Its a great way to keep your recall alive and your confidence high. And I bet youll be surprised by just how many memories fall back into place!28. Why does the writer mention the hotel in Shanghai?A. To show his special fondness of it.B. To ask readers to rev
34、isit old buildings.C. To introduce the topic of the article.D. To connect old buildings with memories.29. What can we learn from the power of buildings?A. It makes no sense to hold exams in exam halls.B. Emotional context is less important than physical context.C. Physical locations help to bring ba
35、ck ones memories.D. This power can only work with all sense factors.30. What does “nostalgic” in Paragraph 6 mean?A. Remembering happy times in the past.B. Hesitating about what to do in a place.C. Looking back on ones former achievements.D. Showing worries about people and things.31. According to t
36、he author, which is the best way to recall memories in a building?A. Repeat your past experiences in various places.B. Set yourself there and catch any memory detail.C. Disconnect your present feelings from past senses.D. Never miss the chance to see meaningful buildings.DI got my COVID-19 vaccinati
37、on (接种疫苗) last Thursday at Strong Memorial Hospital. The University emailed six messages to me, telling me that I was able to schedule a vaccine appointment. To get rid of my needle fear, I turned to Johnson & Johnsons to avoid a second appointment and a second injection(注射).Getting the vaccine was
38、probably the easiest medical appointment Ive ever had. Once I was inside, it took me about five minutes to show someone my ID and wait in line. I was in and out of my appointment in less than 30 minutes.That night, however, the vaccine absolutely kicked my ass. Ive heard a variety of stories from di
39、fferent people about the strong reactions, but I was having a bad time. For the next 24 hours, I was achy, had a slight fever, and suffered a pounding headache.I felt terrible. But Id do it again in a heartbeat.Here are some reasons, both selfish and selfless, why you should get vaccinated as soon a
40、s possible.Like everyone else, you probably preferred normal college life over what its been like for the past year. You probably enjoyed hanging out with friends, without having to worry about masks.Getting vaccinated saves lives. Even the WHO does not know what percentage of the population needs t
41、o be vaccinated in order to achieve herd immunity (群体免疫) against COVID-19. But in the case of other common viruses, we typically need around 93% to 95% of the population to be vaccinated, meaning that people who are able to get the vaccine have a duty to do so.I have every reason to believe that I d
42、ont need the vaccine. Im a healthy young adult and I dont have a job that puts me at a high risk, nor do I have any duties that require my in-person presence. Despite all that, I still got the vaccine.There is no excuse. Get vaccinated.32. Why did the author choose Johnson & Johnsons?A. Because the
43、author was informed by the university.B. Because the author was able to get the vaccine.C. Because the author was so afraid of needles.D. Because the author wanted to challenge himself.33. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean?A. The authors ass ached because of the vaccine.B. The au

It took the author quite a long time to get the vaccine.B. It is unnecessary for healthy adults to get vaccinated.C. Ge
45、tting vaccination is an effective way to beat COVID-19.D. The authors job increases the possibility of catching the virus.35. What is the authors purpose of writing the passage?A To point out the terrible situation of COVID-19 at present.B. To call on people to get vaccinated without any excuse.C. T
46、o express the authors appreciation for getting vaccinated.D. To share an unforgettable experience of getting vaccinated.第二节 七选五阅读 (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。Things People Do On Monday Mornings Make Them Highly SuccessfulAh, Monday morning.
