It was a bright spring afternoon along the Maryland coast, and Jonathan Bauer, a doctor and his daughter, Ava, were taking full advantage of it. They were driving with the windows down as they headed home. Suddenly, the calm was disturbed by the sharp sound of tires.

Not far ahead of them, a black pickup was sliding from one lane to the other. To the Bauers’ horror, it slammed into a concrete barrier, flipped over the SUV directly ahead of them, and came to rest dangling over the railing(栏杆) of the bridge. Bauer hit the brakes in time to avoid the vehicles in his path.

And then a scream came from the pickup. Bauer ran to it. The driver pointed down. In the water was a car seat. A girl, about two years old, was terrified, floating on her back, kicking and splashing and screaming.

Matters quickly went from bad to frightening when the girl rolled over onto her stomach. Bauer waited for the pickup driver to do something, but he didn’t move. Maybe he was in shock.

He held no illusions about his chances jumping from this height into such shallow water. Four feet of depth was the most he could hope for. And were there rocks this close to the concrete pillar(柱子) of the bridge?

He climbed onto the railing and took a leap of faith. A moment later he was bouncing off the sandy bottom-unhurt! Bauer swam to the girl in a few quick strokes and lifted her out of the water: mouth half open, eyes nearly closed, not breathing. Standing, he laid her against his shoulder and hit her back with the flat of his hand. After several attempts, thankfully, her eyes were opened, focused on him. He pulled her close, hugging her to shield her from the cold.

Ava Bauer was so inspired by her father’s actions that four months later she became a firefighter so that she too could save lives.

4. The underlined phrase in Paragraph 1 can be best replaced by ____.

A. bearing

B. expecting

C. enjoying

D. judging

5. What do we know about the accident?

A. Many vehicles rushed into a concrete barrier.

B. A black pickup was crashed into by a SUV.

C. Ava got seriously injured in the accident.

D. Bauer managed to stop his car just in time.

6. What made Bauer’s jump very dangerous?

A. The lack of faith in his jump.

B. Not knowing how deep the water was.

C. The hard objects in the shallow water.

D. The little girl’s being unable to swim.

7. How did Bauer bring the girl back to life?

A. By forcing out the choking water.

B. By protecting her from getting cold.

C. By breathing fresh air into her mouth.

D. By dragging her out of the water quickly.

C

With climate change on track to destroy the world’s coral reefs, scientists race to create a new super-coral that can survive extreme temperatures.

A type of microscopic algae called Symbiodiniaceae lives within most coral’s tissues. The two organisms have been living dependently for hundreds of millions of years in a way that resembles the relationship between humans and trees. The algae consume coral’s waste products, and coral consumes nutrients that the algae photosynthesize. Coral also provides shelter for algae. But when exposed to too much heat or light, the algae release harmful chemicals, so the coral casts them out. Left without their main energy source, the coral will starve to death. This is also bad news for the algae. But natural evolution has provided a biological feedback loop that can help the two reunite.

One of the compounds that algae release when water becomes hot, called DMs, bubbles up to the surface of the water and forms a thin layer, which shields the coral like a natural, on-demand layer of sunscreen. With this protection, the water cools down and algae can return to the coral and reestablish their partnership unless the water is too hot, in which case the coral consumes the components that make up DMs before it can form.

Climate change is becoming too intense for coral and algae to naturally adapt fast enough. Therefore, scientists are testing out different ways to accelerate that adaptation through various methods of assisted evolution. Some teams are currently conducting small field trials of selective breeding, where they identify the most heat-tolerant members of a sample of corals. Then they breed them together to create offspring that can be used to help restore coral reefs. Others are focusing their efforts on speeding up the algae’s adaptation, attempting to increase its heat tolerance in labs.

Ultimately, scientists may implement a cocktail of solutions to save coral reefs. “To create a super-coral, we could, for example, selectively breed heat-tolerant corals and combine that with enhanced algae, ” says van Oppen.

8 What can we learn about Paragraph 2?

A. The algae release damaging substances when exposed to heat.

B. The coral eats the waste produced by the algae.

C. The algae is to the coral what trees are to humans.

D. The coral will die from harmful chemicals when it’s too hot.

9. When the water is too hot, natural evolution fails to help because _______.

A. DMS can’t be formed B. the sunscreen layer is destroyed

C. the coral consumes DMS D. the algae release too much DMS

10. How is Paragraph 4 mainly developed?

A. By analyzing causes. B. By making a comparison.

C. By presenting approaches. D. By describing a process.

11. What is the passage mainly about?

A. The role played by the algae within the coral.

B. The way to create a super-coral to save reefs.

C. Selective breeding conducted among corals.

D. Scientists’ efforts to increase algae’s heat tolerance.

D

Winter is on its way. Here in the New York area, we can expect a few perfect days of cold, clear air and snow that sparkles in the sun; but the season’s dominant notes will most likely be rain, overcast skies, bone-chilling winds, and more rain.

For all of us who have cherished our walks in the park and our socially-distanced conversations, the change in the weather feels like the final offense. The pandemic continues and now we won’t even be able to get outside.

I don’t have any new solutions for the pandemic I’m afraid, but take it from someone who grew up in northern England: Terrible weather does not mean you don’t get to socialize outdoors.

If a little thing like rain stopped British people from enjoying a day at the seaside or a hike in the hills, I might never have known the joys of the Yorkshire barbecue. It was sometimes my appointed role to hold an umbrella over the grill while my father tended to the sausages and burgers because a barbecue had been planned, and so a barbecue was going to take place.

The big secret about bad weather is that, certain dangerous storm conditions aside, it’s really bad only if you decide it’s bad. You may know the experience of being caught unprepared in heavy rain, starting to hurry toward shelter, then finally surrendering to the reality that you’ll be getting a soaking. Much of the discomfort of rain or cold temperatures arises not from the sensations themselves, but from a kind of internal struggle to avoid feeling them. The key to British enjoyment lies in not expecting your time outdoors to be especially warm or dry in the first place.

A friend of mine has treasured memories of her parents setting out a wonderful picnic spread just as the heavens opened, but deciding to let the kids go ahead and eat anyway, in a chaos of wet sandwiches and hysterical laughter. Whatever else this winter has in store, we might use it to create some similarly joyful and affection-filled memories, remembering always the words by the British writer Alfred Wainwright: “There’s no such thing as bad weather, only unsuitable clothing. ”

12. What do we know about the author?

A. He has got tired of the pandemic.

B. He is no stranger to terrible weather.

C. He hates the weather in the New York area.

D. He is expecting some perfect days of the winter.

13. Why does bad weather make people uncomfortable according to Para. 5?

A. Getting totally wet gives people bad feelings.

B. It takes a lot of trouble for people to seek shelter.

C. Bad weather can lead to dangerous storm conditions.

D. People don’t want to experience bad weather at heart.

14. Why does the author mention the experience of a friend of his?

A. To encourage people to face bad weather more positively.

B. To present a wonderful way of dealing with difficulties.

C. To explain why British people have a preference for picnic.

D. To show how to create memorable experiences with children.

15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A. Is Winter Coming?

B. Are You Prepared?

C. Brave the Bad Weather

D. Outdoor Activity Counts in Winter

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Two little girls, Addie and Gracie, neatly dressed as they were going for a pleasant walk and pretty lunch-baskets filled with the nicest of things, started out for a walk up the canyon(峡谷). There was a good road for long distance. Then it branched off right and left. The trees grew taller, the bushes thicker and more twisted and they felt as if they were away off in a little world of their own. How nice it was! Birds came close overhead, and they saw several live squirrels. After gathering a great many flowers and eating lunch, and having had enough walking for a while, they began telling certain fairy stories in which the parties all lived out in the woods.

The day wore along until afternoon, when the canyon began to grow dark very fast. “Do you think we’d better start home?”asked Addie.“I guess it’s early yet. But if you wish we might walk slowly down a little way”, said Gracie. With a show of some reluctance, Addie gathered her treasures together, and they started at a leisurely pace, which somehow was gradually accelerated without the apparent notice.

These children had gone farther up the canyon than they had realized. The many charms had attracted them along and they didn’t feel tired for a long while. Suddenly, a low rumble was heard that increased and seemed to be rapidly coming in their direction.

“It’s raining! Are there any caves?” “Only way up on the side.” “Let’s take hold of hands and run!” “We’d have to drop our flowers.” “I don’t care. Hurry!” Away they went, the wind driving the rain right in their faces. The pretty hats were dripping. The light pink dresses hung straight down, and their shoes were sopping wet. “Do you think our parents will come after us when they know it’s storming up here?”

Addie began to cry.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

They were about to leave the cave when a figure came into sight, calling their names.
