21、Warmer temperatures are the new normal
Hotter weather appears to be here to stay,El Nino or not.That's according to the U.N. weather agency.It warned that the Paris climate accord（协定）last year shouldn't give way to complacency（自满）about global warming.
The World Meteorological Organization issued（公布）its annual climate report following a record-hot 2015.It drew people's attention to records already announced by different countries' weather agencies.The agency pointed out that 2015 was breaking records on the surface.It also broke records hundreds of meters deep in the ocean.
And the first two months of 2016 were even hotter.These months are so unusual that they "have sent shockwaves around the climate science community."That's according to David Carlson of the World Climate Research Program.
Climate scientists blame record high temperatures last year and this year so far on a combination of a super-sized El Nino.It is a natural warming of pans of the Pacific that changes weather worldwide.Another factor is a long-term global warming trend from the burning of fossil fuels（化石燃料）.
NASA said last month was 1.35 degrees Celsius (2.43 degrees Fahrenheit) warmer than average.Of that,0.8 degrees (1.44 degrees Fahrenheit) comes from the long-term warming.And 0.25 degrees (0.45 degrees Fahrenheit) comes from El Nino.The rest is from unexplained results.This was calculated by climate scientist Stefan Rahmstorf of the Potsdam Institute in Germany and the University of New South Wales.
Even after the El Nino phenomenon becomes less strong in coming months,way above normal temperatures won't exactly go away,Carlson and others said.
"We're on a slope; sometimes the slope goes very steep,sometimes it's a little bit more shallow,but we're going upward,"Carlson said in a news conference."So the normal is going to be increases: It's going to be increased temperature,increased ocean heat content,loss of ice,we know all of these things."
Katharine Hayhoe is a Texas Tech climate scientist who wasn't part of the WMO team.But she agreed:"These records vividly show the destructive power of an El Nino on climate changes."
The WMO predicts warmer weather accompanied by pockets of both drier and wetter conditions,depending on the region,around the world.
WMO Secretary-General Petteri Taalas told reporters in Geneva that many people believe the climate issue is "solved...since we reached a nice agreement in Paris."But,he said,"We haven't changed our behavior yet."
【1】The author wrote Paragraph 1 to_______.
A. introduce something about El Nino
B. explain the causes of hotter weather

D. introduce the main topic of the passage
【2】Which of the following statements is true?
A. The Paris climate accord last year has made a big difference to global warming.
B. The high temperature only increases on the surface of the earth.
C. The records of high temperature in the first two months of 2016 made climate scientists shocked and worried.
D. the high temperature was mainly caused by El Nino.
【3】It can be inferred that ________.
A. the high temperature will result in natural disasters around the world according to WMO
B. The problem of high temperature will be solved with the disappearance of El Nino
C. Scientists have different opinions on the causes of high temperature of the earth
D. Since we reached a nice agreement in Paris,we needn't worry about the increase of temperature
【4】How does the passage mainly develop?
A. By making comparisons.
B. By analyzing the results and causes.
C. By providing examples.
D. By following the order of time.
22、 NIGHT after night, she came to help me sleep, even long after my childhood years. I don't remember when it first started annoying me—my mom's hands pushing my hair that way. But it did annoy me, for they felt rough against my young skin. Finally, one night, I shouted at her: "Don't do that anymore—your hands are too rough!" She didn't say anything, but she never did it again.
Years later, I missed my mother's hands and her goodnight kiss on my face. I'm not a little girl anymore. My mom is in her mid-70s, and her rough hands are still doing things for my family and me.
Now my own children have grown up. It was late on Thanksgiving Eve. As I slept in my bedroom, a familiar hand ran across my face to push the hair from my head. Then a kiss, ever so gently, touched my brow.
Taking my mom's hand, I told her how sorry I was for that night I shouted at her. But my mom didn't know what I was talking about. She had forgotten it long ago. That night, I fell asleep with a new appreciation for my gentle mother and her caring hands. And the guilt that I had carried around for so long was nowhere to be found.

23、The past two years have been hard—many are still unable to travel around with restrictions still in place. Yet it has not stopped Zheng Zheng from discovering different coffee shops on a daily basis.
She is not one of those Internet influencers who check out different fancy cafes to make an income. Like millions who are taking on works-from-home positions, the project manager of an Internet company sees it as a way to escape her small apartment and remain productive.
“As long as there’s Wi-Fi, I can literally work anywhere,” Zheng told CGTN.
Many Silicon Valley executives have been rooting for the rise of remote working (远程办公) since 2020. Last May, Twitter announced its work-from-home plans, calling the flexibility “the fourth industrial revolution”.
Zheng said, “Remote working gives me great flexibility. I could better assign my time, rather than wasting it on things like washing up or taking the subway to the office.”
“Another thing probably is that you can have different sources of income,” the part-time designer and stylist added.
“But still, I believe remote working will never completely replace the traditional means of working,” she said after sharing all the advantages.
One disadvantage she pointed out is missing out on social interactions with your colleagues, and another is the extended working hours.
In a University of Chicago study, employees were found to work longer hours at home for the same task, as focused time was broken up by some distractions like childcare and online meetings.
Robin Dunbar, a professor of the University of Oxford, told CGTN that he believes remote working is overhyped (过度夸大) and certainly won’t last long. “Without face-to-face engagement and those casual meetings, the ‘flow’ that makes things work fast will be missing. Work groups quickly lose focus, and the sense of belonging is lost very quickly, ” he said.
【1】Why does Zheng Zheng explore different coffee shops every day?
A．To relax herself from working state.
B．To find out the most delicious coffee.
C．To look for a better work place for herself.
D．To check out different fancy cafes to make money.
【2】What advantage does Zheng Zheng value more about remote working?
A．Low cost.
B．The flexibility.
C．Mental well-being.
D．The sense of belonging.
【3】What does the underlined word “extended” in paragraph 8 mean?
A．Irregular.
B．Continuous.
C．Longer than usual.
D．Shorter than expected.
【4】What is the attitude of Robin Dunbar to the future of remote working?
A．Appreciative.
B．Uncaring.
C．Optimistic.
D．Doubtful.
24、“Keep out or I’ll chase you out! This is my property!”
You hear this every spring. It is a long musical sound --- a bird song! Birds use their songs to communicate different messages to one another. People who study bird sounds are learning their meanings.
Usually it is the male that sings. Early in spring he sings to say that he has picked out a piece of property. He sings to attract a female of his same kind. Together they will raise a family in his territory (领地). He sings to tell all other birds of his kind to keep out.
Each kind of bird has its own type of song. Cardinals sing something that sounds a little like “What cheer, cheer, cheer.” Towhees sing, “Drink your tea.”
Most of the time, birds pay attention only to the songs of birds of their own kind. Cardinals answer cardinals, and song sparrows answer song sparrows. A cardinal knows that a song sparrow will not try to steal its mate. So you can see one reason why a cardinal may chase away another cardinal but will not bother a song sparrow.
Most different kinds of birds eat different things. To find enough to eat, a bird needs a big piece of land to search in. Many kinds of birds have some ways of dividing up the land into territories. Song sparrows, cardinals ovenbirds, and white-throated sparrows are some of the birds that have territorial systems.
Especially in early spring, birds work out the boundaries between their territories by singing “keep out” threats and by chasing and fighting each other. The birds continue singing to tell females that they have set up territories. Neighboring birds seem to agree that there are make believe fences between their pieces of property. Then they do not have to waste energy chasing each other instead of taking care of their young.
Scientists guessed that some birds could recognize their neighbors by small differences in their songs. Two scientists who studied white-throated sparrows found that these birds can even tell the difference between songs of individual birds of their own kind. White-throated sparrows have songs that seem to say “I’m your neighbor” or “I’m a stranger” or “I’m your neighbor to the west.” Other kinds of birds could tell neighbors from strangers by their songs, too.
【1】What is the article mainly about?
A. How birds build up their territories.
B. How birds sing to communicate.
C. How male birds chase after females.
D. How scientists recognize birds’ songs.
【2】A cardinal may not keep a song sparrow out of its territory because ________.
A. they sing different songs
B. they have separate territories
C. it feels no threat from a song sparrow
D. song sparrows are friendly to other birds
【3】Some birds have their own territorial systems so that ________.
A. they don’t need to fight or chase each other
B. they often work together against threats
C. they build up fences to protect their property
D. they find a big piece of land to search for food
【4】What can we conclude from the article?
A. Male birds use their songs to communicate more than females.
B. Scientists have learned the meanings of all white-throated sparrows sing.
C Not all birds can recognize their neighbors by small differences in their songs.
D. White-throated sparrows are the smartest birds the scientists ever found.

My family used to live in London. But then a few years ago my father got transferred (调动) and we came to a small town in Scotland. Everything was new here. The neighborhood, and the school. I was not liking it much here. At this new school, nobody knew me. As I was shy, I had difficulty making friends and felt lonely all the time.
One day, when I was sitting in my seat, a girl came to me and introduced herself. It was Vivian. She smiled at me and asked if I wanted to have lunch with her. That day, we spent a great time together. Slowly, we became best friends.
In the coming month of October, it was my best friend’s birthday. I and other classmates in the school had planned a day out for her. We all decided to take her to a nearby picnic spot in the afternoon and give her a surprise party. Everybody contributed a little to the cake and snacks. After school, we took her to the picnic spot. She cut the cake and we all enjoyed the snacks. After everybody had eaten, we all decided to enjoy the boat ride.
It was a pleasant day. The lake was small but beautiful. We were all singing together and cheering up. In the clear blue water of the lake, we could see the colorful fishes swimming rapidly. There were also ducks adding to the beauty of the scene.
Everybody started clapping looking at those pretty birds. Vivian also became quite excited. Just when she was trying to touch the ducks, she lost her balance. Before anyone could do anything, she fell into the lake.
