21、 What is the most shocking about heatwaves is not merely that they have hit a usually temperate area, nor that so many long-standing temperature records are being broken. It is that those records are being broken by such large margins (幅度). In Portland, Oregon, the temperature reached 46.6℃(116℃)— making it one of several cities in the region where previous records have been beaten by a full 5℃(9℃).
Heatwaves may generate headlines, but less attention is paid to them than they deserve. In 2018 roughly 300,000 people over the age of 65 died as a result of extreme heat, a 54% increase since 2000. Unlike storms and floods, heat does not lead to dramatic before-and-after pictures. Its victims are often apparent only when statisticians add up excess deaths and hospital admissions. The fact that as many as 70,000 people died as a result of a heatwave in Europe in 2003, for example, became apparent only in 2008. Heat also worsens conditions such as heart problems, so not all the deaths it causes may be directly attributed to it.
To protect people against extreme heat, governments can set up early-warning systems to alert health workers, shut down schools and suspend outdoor activities. They can provide the public with forecasts of coming heatwaves, explanations of the dangers and detailed advice on what to do. Whatever our strategy, we should get to it, because the prognosis is not good. According to a report by NRDC, the total number of excessive heat days in the United States will increase to more than eight times the baseline level by the end of the century.
The world is, understandably, focused on a different health crisis right now. But heatwaves pose an entirely foreseeable threat in the decades to come. The timing and severity of the coronavirus pandemic(新冠疫情)could not have been foreseen. These other far more predictable and preventable crises are different. There is no excuse for failing to take them more seriously.
【1】What is the most surprising about heatwaves?
A．How large the affected regions are.
B．How greatly human health is impacted.
C．How much higher the temperature records go.
D．How many temperature records have been beaten.
【2】What can we learn about the heat from Paragraph 2?
A．It is a mild headache.
B．It is an underrated problem.
C．It causes apparent destruction.
D．It causes widespread concern.
【3】What does the underlined word "prognosis" mean in Paragraph 3?
A．Forecast.
B．Intention.
C．Harvest.
D．Response.
【4】Why is the coronavirus pandemic mentioned in the last paragraph?
A．To warn people of unforeseen health risks.
B．To illustrate how extreme heat threatens us.
C．To stress the necessity of addressing the heat.
D．To draw attention to the severity of health crises.
22、The reason why so many of us love gift cards—they’re a lot like cash—is also the reason why they can be hard to replace.If your card is lost or stolen，most retailers are sympathetic，but only if you can prove that you actually purchased，or were gifted，the card.
Preconditions(前提) to replace a gift card
1．Keep the card’s receipt or the gift card number.
2．Put the card number in your mobile wallet.
If you can provide one of those things for the retailer，contact the retailer immediately to look up a missing card.Or you can turn to the generous soul who gave you the card for help.Most retailers maintain tollfree numbers，available on the store’s website and staffed by customer service representatives.They can cancel the card and work on issuing you with a new one.Some retailers，such as Simon Malls，can replace cards over the phone as long as you know the gift card number；others，including Starbucks，replace a lost gift card if you registered online.
Replacement fee
If it’s a store card，you may not even have to pay a replacement fee，but that’s less likely with bankissued gift cards.American Express now offers to replace lost or stolen gift cards for free if you have the original card number，but replacing a Wells Fargo Visa card costs 7.50，or 15 for a check cashing out the remaining funds on the card.
Without proof of ownership
Even if you never wrote down the number and the receipt is long gone，you’re not entirely out of luck.If you already used the gift card to shop online，your data may still be stored in your account—and you can spend it down quickly.
【1】You can probably replace a lost or stolen gift card if you .
A. have opened a mobile wallet account
B. have registered the information of the card online
C. write a letter to American Express to explain the loss
D. apply for a new one to customer service representatives
【2】When can you most likely replace your lost or stolen gift card for free?
A. The card is issued by a bank.
B. You have already used the card to shop online.
C. You enter the appointed website to report the loss.
D. You have the original card number of American Express.
23、Can the way you sleep affect your eating habits?
Most adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep each night, yet about 35% of Americans routinely miss the mark. 【1】
It may help you control your added sugar intake
Got a sweet tooth? 【2】. A 2018 study looked at the impact of extra sleep on eating habits with some participants who were healthy yet frequently slept between five to seven hours per night. One group was arranged to receive a 45-minute counseling (咨询) session with information about sleep recommendations and simple strategies to help them sleep more. Those who received the sleep advice lowered their added sugar intake by 10 grams per day, even though they didn’t hit the recommended sleep target of seven to nine hours per night.
【3】
If you’re not sleeping well, it will be harder to manage desires. Researchers found that after a short night of sleep, people who looked at images of unhealthy food, such as doughnuts and candy, experienced increased activity in areas of the brain associated with reward and pleasure. Meanwhile, the same brain hot spots showed a significantly weaker response to healthy food.
It contributes to overeating
When you get inadequate sleep, you feel hungrier. Plus, it’ll take longer to feel full because of lower leptin (瘦蛋白) levels. 【4】. It was found in a 2019 study among women who usually slept seven to nine hours per night that after they were instructed to get a third less sleep, they reported feeling hungrier and having increased appetite the next day.
【5】. Those who received counseling increased their sleep by about 1.2 hours, and they reduced their daily calorie intake by 270 calories. The researchers predicted that, the impact of extra sleep alone could result in a 26-pound weight loss over three years. Therefore, those who got more sleep naturally cut down on their calorie intake.
A．Getting adequate sleep may help
B．The impact of extra sleep was dramatic
C．It could make you less vulnerable to desires
D．Here’s how sleep influences your eating habits
E．It could help slow down the burning of calories
F．Unsurprisingly, this could lead to serving yourself bigger portion sizes
G．People who suffer from consistently bad sleep tend to have poorer quality diets
