22、Two people have died after two separate university shootings in Texas and Arizona, just hours apart． One person was killed and three injured in the first shooting at Northern Arizona University early on Friday． Later that morning a shooting at a student complex near Texas Southern University left one person dead．
In Arizona, police named the gunman there as Steven Jones, an 18-year-old first year student at Northern Arizona University．Mr． Jones told police he was approached by a group of men and attacked．He fled, produced a gun from his pocket and opened fire when the men caught up with him, Arizona police said．Witnesses told police that the victims were unarmed．
The second shooting in Texas happened later on Friday morning at the University Courtyard Apartments on the edge of the Houston campus． One student was killed, a freshman at the school, the university confirmed, and another person was wounded．Two people have been arrested as suspects and a third is still at large, said Houston police spokeswoman Jodi Silva．
The attacks came as President Barack Obama visited families of victims of a college shooting in Oregon． On arriving in Oregon, he was jeered(嘲笑) by gun rights activists who oppose calls he made for tougher gun laws after nine people were killed at Umpqua Community College, Roseburg, last week．
After a private meeting with families, Mr Obama said he had "strong feelings" about gun control, adding: "We are going to have to come together as a country to see how we can prevent these issues from taking place．”
On the edge of this little American town, a few hundred protestors gathered to tell their president he was not welcome． Many were openly carrying handguns to hammer home their message． The demonstrators blamed the shooting here last week on two things: a failure to treat mental health problems and the designation of Umpqua Community College as a gun-free zone． Many of those we spoke to said they had travelled to Roseburg from elsewhere in Oregon to make their voices hear． The hostility to the Democratic president here in Republican rural Oregon was not just political, it was personal．
【1】How many people were dead in these two recent university shootings?
A． One．

23、 Between a quarter and one third of all marine species rely on coral reefs (珊瑚礁)at some point in their life cycle. The Great Barrier Reef, the world's largest coral reef, covers nearly 133,000 square miles and is home to more than 1,500 species of fish, 411 species of hard coral and dozens of other species.
Australian's Great Barrier Reef has lost 50% of its coral populations in the last three decades, with climate change a key driver of reef disturbance, a new study has found.
Researchers from the Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies, in Queensland, northeastern Australia, studied coral communities and their colony size along the length of the Great Barrier Reef between 1995 and 2017, finding reduction of virtually all coral populations.
“We found the number of small, medium and large coral on the Great Barrier Reef has dropped by more than 50% since the 1990s," reported co-author Terry Hughes, a professor at the centre, in a statement.
Reefs are basic to the health of marine ecosystems — without them, ecosystems collapse, and marine life dies. Coral population sizes are also considered important when it comes to the coral's ability to reproduce." A coral population has millions of small, baby corals, as well as many large ones,“ said Andy Dietzel, a doctoral student in a statement. "Our results show the ability of the Great Barrier Reef to recover becomes weak compared to the past," he added.
Population falls occurred in both shallow and deep water coral species, experts found, but branching coral and table-shaped coral — which provide habitats for fish — were worst affected by mass bleaching （白化）events in 2016 and 2017, caused by record-breaking temperatures.
Warm ocean temperatures are the main driver of coral bleaching, when coral turns white as a stress response to water that is too warm. Bleaching doesn't kill coral immediately, but if temperatures remain high, eventually the coral will die, destroying a natural habitat for many species of marine life.
The new study found the serious worsening of coral colonies in the Northern and Central Great Barrier Reef following the mass bleaching events in the past five years, and experts said the southern part of the reef also suffered record-breaking temperatures in early 2020.
“We used to think the Great Barrier Reef is protected by its huge size — but our results show that even the world's largest and relatively well-protected reef system is increasingly dropping, Hughes said. He warned that climate change is driving an increase in the frequency of the reef disturbance like marine heat waves. "There is no time to lose — we must sharply reduce greenhouse gases as soon as possible," he said.
【1】What can we know about coral reefs?
A．They are not able to recover by themselves.
B．They make up the largest ecosystem in the sea.
C．They can easily be disturbed by other marine species.
D．They can influence the existence of other marine species.
【2】What does the underlined word “collapse" in Paragraph 5 mean?
A．Change.
B．Disappear.
C．Crash.
D．Progress.
【3】How does coral respond to high temperatures?
A．It will die very soon.
B．It will change its color.
C．It will fail to reproduce.
D．It will kill other species.
【4】What does Terry Hughes want to say in the last paragraph?
A．The Great Barrier Reef doesn't have a self-protecting mechanism.
B．The Great Barrier Reef is no longer the world's largest coral reef.
C．Measures must be taken to protect coral reefs without delay.
D．Climate change can increase the frequency of heat waves.
24、Being organized is an important part of being a student. 【1】Recommended approaches include prioritizing your to-do lists, organizing your school supplies and tracking closing dates. You can be well on your way to becoming an organized student.
●Have a morning routine. A great way to stay organized is to have the same routine every morning. It is harder to forget things at home or come to school unprepared if you follow the same routine each day. In addition to showering and getting dressed, your morning routine should include a healthy breakfast and a quick check of your backpack. 【2】
●Begin projects at once. Try to begin working on homework and other projects as soon as you know what the assignment will be. 【3】 It will make it harder to organize other parts of your student life. Organizing time for homework every night will help you complete your schoolwork more effectively.
●【4】 Separate materials based on subject by using different colors. For math, for example, you might want to have a blue book cover, blue folder and blue notebook. For history, you might choose pink. That way, you’ll look in your locker or backpack and easily be able to get what you need for each class.
●Be aware of the deadline of the project. 【5】 Consider buying a whiteboard or bulletin board to keep track of when you need to turn in your projects. This visual aid can help you remember deadlines. If you’re having problems finishing your work on time, a fun way to get the project done more easily and quickly is to work with friends. Make sure your teachers and parents allow it.
A．Color code your materials by subject.
B．Make sure everything you need is totally in it.
C．Turn to teachers and friends for help immediately.
D．It’s especially important for junior and senior students.
E．Being organized means remembering when your work is due.
F．Getting organized is necessary for improving your family relationship.
G．Waiting until the last minute to finish it will make you feel less organized.
