21、Holidays and small ovens can bake up memories
Anyone will tell you that, aside from the people, the best part of any holiday is the food, Thanksgiving turkeys, Mid-Autumn Festival mooncakes, Fourth of July BBQ, Dragon Boat festival zongzi. 【1】 It’s not a Christmas party without a platter of at least three different types of cookies. Frosted sugar cookies, chocolate crinkles and spiced molasses are among my Christmas favorites.
Families spend days making cookies. It’s akin (相似的) to stuffing and crimping dumplings. 【2】 Gathering everyone around the table to help out and chat is a delightful way to get into the holiday spirit. Whether living in a full house or as a single, I’ve always enjoyed baking and found it calming.
The challenge of baking in China is that a critical component is often missing, an oven. Chinese cuisine is impressively diverse and the need for an oven never seems to have arisen, the majority of apartments are, understandably, without oven, Here’s where foreigners, if they haven’t done already, quickly learn to use Taobao and buy themselves a toaster oven. This is an excellent kitchen addition, though they are significantly smaller than a standard oven. 【3】
Holiday baking challenges in China don’t end there, however. Imagine it’s Christmas Eve. You’ve rented a house with friends or gathered at someone’s large apartment. You’re preparing your Christmas feast! But there’s only one oven. And it’s a third the size of a conventional oven. 【4】 With larger ovens at home where you can toss a couple of casseroles and a ham all in there together, you now have to bake in batches. The process takes roughly-all day.
【5】. There are always games, songs and laughs to be had in the kitchen and though the baking strategy system might cause some scheduling conflicts, at the end of the day, if you’re with the people you love, it’s all worth it. Happy holidays to you and yours!
A．For Christmas, cookies are king!
B．It’s not too difficult, just takes time.
C．This is one instance where size does matter.
D．It is convenient for people to bake in the kitchen.
E．It also means that holiday baking time is doubled.
F．It is a wonderful time for families to get together to enjoy themselves.
G．Despite all these adjustments, holiday baking is a joyous time to gather together and make memories.

23、Terribly hot weather, pouring downpours... Scientists have long suspected that global warming can cause extreme weather events. Now experts have numbers to support that idea.
The burning of fossil fuels has been leading to a buildup of carbon dioxide in Earth’s atmosphere. This CO2 is a greenhouse gas. That means it can trap heat in the air. As a result, our planet’s temperature has been rising. And this global wanning will account for a growing share of ever more frequent extreme weather events.
Many governments hope to limit global warming to 2 degrees Celsius above temperatures that were typical before the Industrial Revolution. It will be hard for nations to achieve that. But even if they do, global warming still will be responsible for nearly all heat extremes. Global warming also will be to blame for about 2 out of every 5 extreme rains and snowfalls. “This is a considerable fraction of major weather events,” says climate scientist Peter Stott.
So far. Earth has warmed about 0.85 degree Celsius since 1750. That’s about when the Industrial Revolution got its start. That’s also when fossil fuel use took off, spewing(喷出) lots of CO2 into the air, MOverall, the new study shows that relatively small rises in global temperature translate into large increases in the likelihood of extremes. Stott says.
Erich Fischer and Reto Knutti analyzed 25 different computer models of global climate. These analyses looked at different climate periods, from preindustrial times to the present. The analyses also predicted what weather events were likely to be like in the future. This period was predicted to be warmer by 2 and 3 degrees Celsius.
The computer looked at when extreme heat and precipitation(冰雹) occurred during each climate period. It focused on events of unusual heat or heavy precipitation. Before the Industrial Revolution, such extremes typically would have occurred only once in every 1,000 days.
“But since the globe has been warming, such extremes are no longer nearly as rare. These new findings provide ‘a global statement’,” Fischer says. “You can still get the biggest heat that you have ever seen without any human changes.”
【1】The second paragraph is mainly about
A．what damage the global wanning caused
B．how the global warming came into being
C．where the global warming is becoming serious
D．why fossil fuels have to be forbidden
【2】What Peter said in Para. 3 suggests that
A．it is reasonable for climate change to happen
B．there is no serious effect of the global warming now
C．the influence of the global warming is great
D．the extreme weather happens in small numbers
【3】According to the passage, extreme weather
A．will happen more often than before
B．happens once in every 1,000 days
C．strikes every region without differences
D．has become a rare phenomenon across the planet
【4】What is the main idea of the passage?
A．Extreme weather is becoming common now.
B．The role of global warming in extreme weather.
C．Earth has suffered from extreme weather.
D．Global warming makes Earth hotter and hotter.
24、Imagine a warm spring day 66 million years ago. These could have been the very last moments of the dinosaur era when a city-sized asteroid struck Earth, killing off three quarters of all species on the planet. According to a study published in Nature on Feb 23,the asteroid hit in springtime.
Scientists have long been confused over the time of year the asteroid hit, and how some animals managed to survive while dinosaurs didn’t, according to USA Today.
Researchers in 20l9 discovered fossilized fishes in North Dakota that died shortly after the asteroid hit Earth. They examined the fossils with a particle accelerator and found out there was seasonal growth on the bone. All fish bone cell densities and volumes can indicate the season. Because the accelerator also could capture the sizes, researchers were able to determine when in the year the asteroid hit, Dennis Voeten told USA Today.
“I think spring puts a large group of the late Cretaceous biota in a very unprotected spot because they were out and about looking for food, tending to offspring after the winter,” Melanie During, the main author of the study.
In the Southern Hemisphere, it was autumn. Therefore, life in the Southern Hemisphere was a lot more prepared for this event.
It is unclear whether small animals in the Northern Hemisphere actually did worse than those in the south. There is evidence that Northern Hemisphere turtles were wiped out in the asteroid strike, after which their habitats were later repopulated by turtles from the south, Voeten told The Guardian.
Nothing much larger than a house cat survived the asteroid impact and many species would have been killed whenever it hit, Daniel Field, a professor at the University of Cambridge, told The Guardian.
【1】Which probably helps find the time of year the asteroid hit?
A．The types of fossilized fishes.
B．The location of fossilized fishes.

【2】What causes the species’ extinction when the asteroid hit in Melanie During’s opinion?
A．The season of the hit.
B．The size of asteroid.
C．The group size of species.
D．The body shape of animals.
【3】Which would Daniel Field most probably agree with?
A．Chances of survival depended on it where the species lived at the time.
B．Many species could have survived the asteroid strike but for the season.
C．Many species had little chance to survive even if it was a different season.
D．Animals from the Southern Hemisphere were less affected by asteroid strikes.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A．The Science behind the Asteroid
B．Occurrence of the Natural Disaster
C．The Effect of Dinosaurs’ Extinction
D．New Research on the Asteroid Strike
