Tu Youyou has become the first Chinese woman to win a Nobel Prize for her work in helping to create an anti-malarial (疟疾) medicine. The 84-year-old’s route to the honour has been anything but traditional. In China, she is being called the “three nos” winner: no medical degree, no doctorate, and she’s never worked overseas.
In 1967, malaria, a deadly disease at that time, spread by mosquitoes was decimating Chinese soldiers fighting Americans in the jungles of northern Vietnam. A secret research unit “Mission 523” was formed to find a cure for the illness. Two years later Tu Youyou was instructed to become the new head of “Mission 523”.
“Mission 523” read ancient books carefully for a long time to find historical methods of fighting malaria. When she started her search for an anti-malarial drug,more than 240,000 compounds around the world had been tested, without any success. Finally, the team found a brief reference to one substance, sweet wormwood (青蒿), which had been used to treat malaria in China around 400 AD．The team took out one active compound (化合物) in wormwood, and then tested it. But nothing was effective until Tu Youyou returned to the original ancient text. After another careful reading, she changed the drug recipe one final time, heating the compound without allowing it to reach boiling point.
After the drug showed promising results in mice and monkeys, Tu Youyou volunteered to be the first human recipient (接受者) of the new drug. In any case, Tu Youyou is consistently praised for her drive and passion. One former colleague, Lianda Li, says Ms. Tu is “unsociable and quite straightforward”, adding that “if she disagrees with something, she will say it”.
Another colleague, Fuming Liao, who has worked with Tu Youyou for more than 40 years, describes her as a “tough and stubborn woman”. Stubborn enough to spend decades piecing together ancient texts, she applies them to modern scientific practices. The result has saved millions of lives.

Florence Nightingale
Florence Nightingale was born in Florence, Italy, while her wealthy English parents were travelling in Europe. As a child, she travelled to many places with her family and learned how to speak several languages.
When Nightingale was 17, she told her family that she was going to help sick people. Her parents did not approve, but Nightingale was determined.
She travelled to hospitals all over Europe. She saw that doctors were working too hard. She saw that patients died because they did not get enough care. Nightingale felt that women could be doing more to help doctors take care of sick people.
Nightingale knew that in order for nurses to do more, they needed special training in how to take care of sick people. Nightingale went to a hospital in Germany to study nursing. Then she returned to London and became the head of a group of women called Gentlewomen During Illness. These women cared for sick people in their homes.
In 1854, England was fighting a war with Russia. No reporters wrote about the terrible conditions in the hospitals that cared for the wounded. People demanded that something be done about it. A leader of the government asked Florence Nightingale to take some nurses into the war hospitals. So, in November 1854,Nightingale finally got to work in a hospital.
She took along 38 nurses whom she had trained herself.
At first, the doctors on the battlefields did not want Nightingale and her nurses in their hospitals. They did not believe that women could help. But in fact, the nurses did make a difference. They worked around the clock, tending the sick. Thanks to their hard work, many wounded soldiers survived.
After the war, Nightingale and her nurses were treated like heroes. Finally, in 1860, she started the Nightingale School for Nurses. In time, thanks to Florence Nightingale, nursing became an important part of medicine.

Grizzly bears, which may grow to about 2.5 m long and weigh over 400 kg, occupy a conflicted corner of the American psyche — we revere (敬畏) them even as they give us frightening dreams. Ask the tourists from around the world that flood into Yellowstone National Park what they most hope to see, and their answer is often the same: a grizzly bear.
“Grizzly bears are re-occupying large areas of their former range,” says bear biologist Chris Servheen. As grizzly bears expand their range into places where they haven’t been seen in a century or more, they’re increasingly being sighted by humans.
The western half of the US was full of grizzlies when Europeans came, with a rough number of 50,000 or more living alongside Native Americans. By the early 1970s, after centuries of cruel and continuous hunting by settlers, 600 to 800 grizzlies remained on a mere 2 percent of their former range in the Northern Rockies. In 1975, grizzlies were listed under the Endangered Species Act.
Today, there are about 2,000 or more grizzly bears in the US. Their recovery has been so successful that the US Fish and Wildlife Service has twice attempted to delist grizzlies, which would loosen legal protections and allow them to be hunted. Both efforts were overturned due to lawsuits from conservation groups. For now, grizzlies remain listed.
Obviously, if precautions (预防) aren’t taken, grizzlies can become troublesome, sometimes killing farm animals or walking through yards in search of food. If people remove food and attractants from their yards and campsites, grizzlies will typically pass by without trouble. Putting electric fencing around chicken houses and other farm animal quarters is also highly effective at getting grizzlies away. “Our hope is to have a clean, attractant-free place where bears can pass through without learning bad habits,” says James Jonkel, longtime biologist who manages bears in and around Missoula.
9．How do Americans look at grizzlies?
A．They cause mixed feelings in people.
B．They should be kept in national parks.
C．They are of high scientific value.
D．They are a symbol of American culture.
10．What has helped the increase of the grizzly population?
A．The European settlers’ behavior.
B．The expansion of bears’ range.
C．The protection by law since 1975.
D．The support of Native Americans.
11．What has stopped the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service from delisting grizzlies?
A．The opposition of conservation groups.
B．The successful comeback of grizzlies.
C．The voice of the biologists.
D．The local farmers’ advocates.
12．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．Food should be provided for grizzlies.
B．People can live in harmony with grizzlies.
C．A special path should be built for grizzlies.
D．Technology can be introduced to protect grizzlies.
The Camp Fire ravaged(毁坏) an area the size of Chicago, destroying 14,000 residences and taking more than 17 days to contain. As it spread, killing at least 85 people and displacing thousands more in Northern California, Madison waited patiently.
Madison’s owner, Andrea Gaylord, was not able to get to her home in Paradise, California, when the fire began to spread on Nov. 8, meaning Madison was left behind. For weeks, all Gaylord could do was pray for Madison’s safety.
Shayla Sullivan, a rescue volunteer, spotted Madison a few times in a valley, apparently guarding territory, and put out fresh food and water regularly in hopes that the dog would turn up. She even placed an article of clothing that smelled like Andrea near the home to keep Madison’s hope alive until his people could return.
When the evacuation(撤离) order was lifted last week and Andrea went back to the property—which had been destroyed by the fire—her prayers were answered: Madison was there, seemingly protecting what little remained of his family’s home.
“WELL, I’m so HAPPY to report that Andrea was allowed to return to her property today and THERE MADISON WAS!!!! He had stayed to protect what was left of his home, and NEVER gave up on his people!” Sullivan wrote in the comment on her Facebook post, which was shared 12,000 times as of Saturday evening. “I’m so happy. I’m crying as I write this! He didn’t give up through the storms or the fire! A LOOOOONG month it must have been for him!” she added.
Later, Andrea said in an interview that she was overcome with joy to see Madison waiting for her. Andrea lost everything in the fire and is now homeless, but she has been able to find some solace knowing her dogs are safe, “Imagine the loyalty of hanging in through the worst of circumstances and being here waiting,” Andrea told ABC10, fighting through tears. “You could never ask for better animals.”
13．Why was Madison left behind?
A．He was stopped by the fire.
B．He was unwilling to go with his owner.
C．He was ordered to protect the family home.
D．His owner was not at home when the fire spread.

A．She was worried whether Madison could survive.
B．She was overcome with joy to see Madison waiting for her.
C．She was happy Madison finally turned up for the food she left.
D．She was moved by what Madison did and his reunion with Andrea.
15．What did Andrea mean by saying “You could never ask for better animals.”?
A．Madison is the best dog.
B．One could not ask animals for help.
C．Animals are never better than humans.
D．Dogs are clever than any other animals.
16．What is the text mainly about?
A．A brave dog fought alone against the storms of fire.
B．A helpful rescue volunteer helped to find a lost dog.
C．A devoted dog reunited with his owner after the fire.
D．A frightened survivor had a narrow escape from the fire.
I heard many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling(叛逆). I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching at one another’s hands for reassurance.
They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. Then set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up with listening to the same record together. Their reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such a way is that many people are doing it. They have come out of their cocoon into a larger cocoon.
It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a teenage market. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be.
And many of today’s parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds to a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.
But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don’t care to share with your classmates at once, well, go to it. Find yourself. Popularity will come with the people who respect you for who you are. That is the only kind of popularity that really counts.
17．In this passage, who does the author wants to tell?
A．teenagers how to learn to decide things for themselves.
B．readers how to be popular with people around.
C．parents how to control and guide their children.
D．people how to understand and respect each other.
18．Many teenagers think they are brave enough to act on their own, but actually most of them ________.
A．lack confidence
B．are much afraid of getting lost
C．dare not deal with problems single-handed
D．have much difficulty understanding each other
19．What does the author think of advertisements?
A．Convincing. B．Influential. C．Advanced. D．Amazing.
20．During the teenage years, what should one learn to do?
A．Find one’s real self.
B．Differ from others in as many ways as possible.
C．Get into the right reason and become popular.
D．Rebel against parents and the popularity wave.
Until a few weeks ago, Asians were the only mask wearers in Western countries, causing even unfriendly responses from the Westerners. But this taboo(禁忌) is falling apart fast after more and more evidences from experiments say that the practice in effect in protecting human beings from infectious diseases. Now, an increasing number of Western countries, including Italy, France, the United States and Australia, have finally decided to recommend their citizens to wear masks in public places to protect one another from the deadly COVID-19 viruses.
For Western nations: the simple change is really difficult and the debate over the face mask has even developed into a larger discussion over the role of the individual in society. In the West, mask-wearing was seen through an individual’s perspective. It runs like “I am free to decide whether to wear a mask to protect myself or not”. However, in Asia, mask-wearing was seen through a social perspective. It runs like “If all individuals wear masks, the society will be protected”. The logics are fundamentally different and the change would require a big cultural adjustment because mask wearing in public places was even considered “strange and frightening” to the Westerners.
But mask-wearing in public places was also new to the Asians until it was struck by SARS in 2003. After that, mask-wearing has become such a part of daily life that it now plays a role in giving the public a sense of being “protected” in Asia.
“I’m convinced that pretty soon everyone in a Western family will have two or three reusable face masks,” said Jean Francois Mattéi president of France’s National Academy of Medicine.
21．Who are most likely to wear masks to protect one another?
A．Italians. B．Chinese. C．Americans. D．Australians.
22．What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A．The necessity of mask wearing. B．The differences between Asia and Europe.
C．The individuals’ role in society. D．The difficulty of accepting mask wearing.
23．What does Jean Francois Mattéi mean?
A．Westerners will accept mask-wearing soon.
B．Westerners usually love prettier face masks.
C．Westerners really care about the environment.
D．Westerners tend to base their decision on evidence.
24．In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?
A．Advertisement. B．Culture. C．Politics. D．Environment.

Michael Fish may soon be replaced as a weather forecaster by something truly fishier, the shark. Research by a British biology student suggests that sharks could be used to predict storms.
Lauren Smith, 24, is close to completing her study on sharks’ ability to sense pressure. If her studies prove the theory, scientists may be able to monitor the behaviour of sharks to predict bad weather.
Lauren Smith had previously studied the behaviour of lemon sharks in the Bahamas. She then used their close relatives, lesser spotted dogfish, for further research at the University of Aberdeen. Her work, thought to be the first of its kind to test the pressure theory, resulted from the observation that juvenile blacktip sharks off Florida moved into deeper water ahead of a violent storm in 2001. Lauren Smith said. “I’ve always been keen on travelling and diving and this led me to an interest in sharks. I was delighted to have been able to explore this arca for my PhD…”.
“Who can say if this could lead to sharks predicting weather fronts, there’s so much more we need to understand. But it certainly opens the way to more research,” said Lauren Smith. It has been discovered that a shark senses pressure using hair cells in its balance system.
At the Bimini Shark Lab in the Bahamas, Lauren Smith fixed high-tech sensors to sharks to record pressure and temperature, while also tracking them using GPS technology. In Aberdeen, she was able to study the effects of tidal and temperature changes on dogfish, neither of which were harmed. She also used a special lab which can mimic (模仿) oceanic pressure changes caused by weather fronts. She is due to complete her study and graduate later this year. She says she will be looking for a job which will give her the chance to enrich her experience of shark research.
28．What is Lauren Smith interested in?
A．How to help Michael Fish predict weather.
B．How to complete her study quickly.
C．How to predict storms with the help of sharks.
D．How to work as a weather forecaster.
29．What made Lauren Smith interested in shark research?
A．Her hobbies. B．The pressure theory. C．A violent storm. D．Her job.
30．Why did Lauren Smith put high-tech sensors onto sharks?
A．To test the oceanic pressure. B．To study the temperature changes.
C．To know the whereabouts of them. D．To record pressure and temperature.
31．Which of the following jobs may Lauren Smith take up?
A．A deep-sea diver. B．A customs officer. C．A worker in a park. D．An architect.
Bicycle riding has taken the world by storm. Bicycles are typically made of steel or aluminum but now there is a unique company that is growing bikes on trees, literally. These bicycles are made of British-grown ash trees by Welsh maker Andy Dix. His Hay-on-Wye company, Twmpa Frames, is making bikes that are of high performance and environmentally sustainable.
“It’s great to push for more bikes and fewer cars on the road, but there’s no escaping the fact that the bike industry as a whole is pretty energy intensive, ” Dix told Cycling Industry, “I’ve always tried to minimize environmental impact in my work. Rather than relying on heavily-processed metals, or layers of plastic that will one day end up in landfill, I’m building bikes from captured carbon, in a process powered by sunlight. ”
It took two years to build the prototype (雏形) that was made from ash wood. Dix tested the wooden bike on the roughest roads he could find and discovered that it was comfortable, durable, and excellent at absorbing shakes. He put more than 3, 000 miles on the bike. Dix explained, “I was running along battered roads that would have shaken me to bits on a aluminum bike. The penny dropped: Not only could I make a bike out of wood, but it had inherent advantages over other materials. ”
Though cutting down trees can add to more carbon in the atmosphere, sustainable tree farming is possible. Dix said that manufacturing a British tonne of aluminum results in carbon emissions of 4, 532 kg while producing a tonne of wood only emits 457 kg. Currently, the cost of a new Twmpa Cycle is out of reach for many bicycle riders; but the idea of using sustainable materials like ash trees could start a new cycling revolution that puts the environment first. Helping the environment could be just a pedal away.
32．What’s Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A．The driving force for wooden bikes.
B．The reasons for choosing the materials for building bikes.
C．The problems with cycling industry.
D．The process of building wooden bikes.
33．What does the underlined part “The penny dropped” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A．Money was missing.
B．The truth came out.
C．The bike broke down.
D．The efforts were in vain.
34．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．Logging trees is a wrong practice.
B．Developing sustainable forestry is a must.
C．The wooden bike does more good than harm.
D．Carbon emission calls for urgent attention.
35．Which of the following is a suitable title of the text?
A．Amazing? Bikes Grow on Trees
B．Less Carbon, More Sustainable
C．No Innovation, No Development
D．Amusing? Bike Riding Is Taking off
Every year, the brightest young scientists from around the globe come together to participate in the world’s largest pre-college science competition, the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair(ISEF). They demonstrate their knowledge of science and engineering to improve the way we work and live.
One of the winners, Katie Lu, found a method for removing oil from water. This concept can also be applied to the removal of microplastics from our oceans as well. Here is what Katie told reporters:
My experience at Intel ISEF was amazing! I remember on judging day, walking the exhibit hall and looking at the people gathered outside waiting to get in. My teacher turned to me and said, “That’s the future right there.” It was so amazing to spend time with all of these participants who are going to do amazing things in the future.
My scientific career has taught me not to fear failure and not to be afraid to ask for help. It’s really easy to be overwhelmed(挫败)and wonder if what you’re doing is going to work out, but even if it doesn’t, it’s OK! Always look on the positive side! A failure now doesn’t mean you’re a failure forever. Failure makes success feel earned when it comes. Also, asking for help is good when you’re struggling. You learn how to do things a lot faster and more efficiently.
I’m shocked that some people are still skeptical about climate change. It’s real and dangerous, and it’ s one of the most important issues of our generation. Reducing carbon emissions isn’t a “should”, it is a “must” to continue living on the planet. Additionally, people aren’t really worried about their personal impact on the earth in terms of littering, overusing plastic or wasting resources. If we don’t curb harmful human activity before it’s too late, it will be a problem that affects all humans, not just those that contribute.
36．What can we learn from what Katie’s teacher said in Paragraph3?
A．No Intel ISEF, no future. B．Failure is the mother of success.
C．All the talents are at the Intel ISEF. D．The participants will make the future wonderful.
37．What docs Paragraph 4 mainly tell us?
A．The relationship between failure and success.
B．What Katie has gained from her scientific career.
C．Seeking help is a shortcut to doing things well.
D．The problems Katie experienced in her science.
38．The underlined word “curb” in the last paragraph probably means_________.
A．control B．consider C．notice D．predict
39．What does Katie care about most?
A．Ocean exploration. B．Environmental problems.
C．The shortage of natural energy. D．The overpopulation on the earth.

(显然，如果不采取预防措施，灰熊会变得很麻烦，有时会杀死农场动物，或者在院子里寻找食物。如果人们把食物和引诱剂从他们的院子和露营地移走，灰熊通常会安然通过。在鸡舍和其他农场动物生活区周围设置电动围栏也能有效地赶走灰熊。“我们希望有一个干净，没有诱饵的地方，熊可以通过，而不会养成坏习惯，”詹姆斯·琼克尔说，他是一位长期管理米苏拉及其周围熊的生物学家)”可推知，灰熊数量增长，虽然会带来一些麻烦，但是如果采取一些预防措施，人和灰熊可以和谐相处。故选B项。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍一种长在树上的自行车，即，用白蜡树做成的环保自行车。
32．主旨大意题。根据第二段““It’s great to push for more bikes and fewer cars on the road, but there’s no escaping the fact that the bike industry as a whole is pretty energy intensive, ” Dix told Cycling Industry, “I’ve always tried to minimize environmental impact in my work. Rather than relying on heavily-processed metals, or layers of plastic that will one day end up in landfill, I’m building bikes from captured carbon, in a process powered by sunlight. ” (迪克斯告诉《自行车产业》：“推动道路上多骑自行车、少开汽车是件好事，但不可否认的事实是，自行车行业作为一个整体是相当能源密集型的。我一直试图在工作中尽量减少对环境的影响。我不是依靠经过大量加工的金属，或者有一天会被扔进垃圾填埋场的塑料层，我从捕获的碳中制造自行车，这个过程由阳光供电。”)”可知，迪克斯介绍了选择制造自行车材料的原因：尽量减少对环境的影响。故选B。
33．习语猜测题。根据第三段最后两句“Dix explained, “I was running along battered roads that would have shaken me to bits on a aluminum bike. The penny dropped: Not only could I make a bike out of wood, but it had inherent advantages over other materials. ” (迪克斯解释说：“我当时正沿着破旧的道路奔跑，如果骑在铝制自行车上，我可能会被震成碎片。 ：我不仅可以用木头制造自行车，而且它比其他材料具有固有的优势。”)”可知，在破旧的道路上，如果骑在铝制自行车上可能会被震成碎片，从而说明了木头制造的自行车比其他材料更具有优势。根据句意及划线词后的冒号可知，前句铝制自行车的的情况更加证明了后句木头制造自行车的优势，即，The truth came out.引出真相。故选B。
34．推理判断题。根据末段“Though cutting down trees can add to more carbon in the atmosphere, sustainable tree farming is possible. Dix said that manufacturing a British tonne of aluminum results in carbon emissions of 4, 532 kg while producing a tonne of wood only emits 457 kg. Currently, the cost of a new Twmpa Cycle is out of reach for many bicycle riders; but the idea of using sustainable materials like ash trees could start a new cycling revolution that puts the environment first. Helping the environment could be just a pedal away. (虽然砍伐树木会增加大气中的碳含量，但可持续的树木种植是可能的。迪克斯说，生产一吨铝会产生4532公斤的碳排放，而生产一吨木材只会产生457公斤的碳排放。目前，一辆新的Twmpa自行车的价格超出了许多骑自行车的人的承受能力；但是，使用像白蜡树这样的可持续材料的想法可能会引发一场新的自行车革命，将环境放在第一位。帮助环境可能只是一个踏板之遥)”可知，虽然砍伐树木制造自行车会增加大气中的碳含量，但是使用像白蜡树这样的可持续材料的想法可能会引发一场新的自行车革命，将环境放在第一位。木制自行车利大于弊。故选C。
35．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据首段第二句“Bicycles are typically made of steel or aluminum but now there is a unique company that is growing bikes on trees, literally. (自行车通常是由钢或铝制成的，但现在有一家独特的公司正在树上种植自行车)”可知，本文主要介绍一种长在树上的自行车，即，用白蜡树做成的环保自行车。Amazing? Bikes Grow on Trees“神奇吗？自行车长在树上”符合全文大意。故选A。

Tu Youyou has become the first Chinese woman to win a Nobel Prize for her work in helping to create an anti-malarial (疟疾) medicine. The 84-year-old’s route to the honour has been anything but traditional. In China, she is being called the “three nos” winner: no medical degree, no doctorate, and she’s never worked overseas.
In 1967, malaria, a deadly disease at that time, spread by mosquitoes was decimating Chinese soldiers fighting Americans in the jungles of northern Vietnam. A secret research unit “Mission 523” was formed to find a cure for the illness. Two years later Tu Youyou was instructed to become the new head of “Mission 523”.
“Mission 523” read ancient books carefully for a long time to find historical methods of fighting malaria. When she started her search for an anti-malarial drug,more than 240,000 compounds around the world had been tested, without any success. Finally, the team found a brief reference to one substance, sweet wormwood (青蒿), which had been used to treat malaria in China around 400 AD．The team took out one active compound (化合物) in wormwood, and then tested it. But nothing was effective until Tu Youyou returned to the original ancient text. After another careful reading, she changed the drug recipe one final time, heating the compound without allowing it to reach boiling point.
After the drug showed promising results in mice and monkeys, Tu Youyou volunteered to be the first human recipient (接受者) of the new drug. In any case, Tu Youyou is consistently praised for her drive and passion. One former colleague, Lianda Li, says Ms. Tu is “unsociable and quite straightforward”, adding that “if she disagrees with something, she will say it”.
Another colleague, Fuming Liao, who has worked with Tu Youyou for more than 40 years, describes her as a “tough and stubborn woman”. Stubborn enough to spend decades piecing together ancient texts, she applies them to modern scientific practices. The result has saved millions of lives.

D．straightforward and mean
Florence Nightingale
Florence Nightingale was born in Florence, Italy, while her wealthy English parents were travelling in Europe. As a child, she travelled to many places with her family and learned how to speak several languages.
When Nightingale was 17, she told her family that she was going to help sick people. Her parents did not approve, but Nightingale was determined.
She travelled to hospitals all over Europe. She saw that doctors were working too hard. She saw that patients died because they did not get enough care. Nightingale felt that women could be doing more to help doctors take care of sick people.
Nightingale knew that in order for nurses to do more, they needed special training in how to take care of sick people. Nightingale went to a hospital in Germany to study nursing. Then she returned to London and became the head of a group of women called Gentlewomen During Illness. These women cared for sick people in their homes.
In 1854, England was fighting a war with Russia. No reporters wrote about the terrible conditions in the hospitals that cared for the wounded. People demanded that something be done about it. A leader of the government asked Florence Nightingale to take some nurses into the war hospitals. So, in November 1854,Nightingale finally got to work in a hospital.
She took along 38 nurses whom she had trained herself.
At first, the doctors on the battlefields did not want Nightingale and her nurses in their hospitals. They did not believe that women could help. But in fact, the nurses did make a difference. They worked around the clock, tending the sick. Thanks to their hard work, many wounded soldiers survived.
After the war, Nightingale and her nurses were treated like heroes. Finally, in 1860, she started the Nightingale School for Nurses. In time, thanks to Florence Nightingale, nursing became an important part of medicine.

A．the education of women B．the development of nursing
C．the building of war hospitals D．the improvement of working conditions for women
Grizzly bears, which may grow to about 2.5 m long and weigh over 400 kg, occupy a conflicted corner of the American psyche — we revere (敬畏) them even as they give us frightening dreams. Ask the tourists from around the world that flood into Yellowstone National Park what they most hope to see, and their answer is often the same: a grizzly bear.
“Grizzly bears are re-occupying large areas of their former range,” says bear biologist Chris Servheen. As grizzly bears expand their range into places where they haven’t been seen in a century or more, they’re increasingly being sighted by humans.
The western half of the US was full of grizzlies when Europeans came, with a rough number of 50,000 or more living alongside Native Americans. By the early 1970s, after centuries of cruel and continuous hunting by settlers, 600 to 800 grizzlies remained on a mere 2 percent of their former range in the Northern Rockies. In 1975, grizzlies were listed under the Endangered Species Act.
Today, there are about 2,000 or more grizzly bears in the US. Their recovery has been so successful that the US Fish and Wildlife Service has twice attempted to delist grizzlies, which would loosen legal protections and allow them to be hunted. Both efforts were overturned due to lawsuits from conservation groups. For now, grizzlies remain listed.
Obviously, if precautions (预防) aren’t taken, grizzlies can become troublesome, sometimes killing farm animals or walking through yards in search of food. If people remove food and attractants from their yards and campsites, grizzlies will typically pass by without trouble. Putting electric fencing around chicken houses and other farm animal quarters is also highly effective at getting grizzlies away. “Our hope is to have a clean, attractant-free place where bears can pass through without learning bad habits,” says James Jonkel, longtime biologist who manages bears in and around Missoula.
9．How do Americans look at grizzlies?
A．They cause mixed feelings in people.
B．They should be kept in national parks.
C．They are of high scientific value.
D．They are a symbol of American culture.
10．What has helped the increase of the grizzly population?
A．The European settlers’ behavior.
B．The expansion of bears’ range.
C．The protection by law since 1975.
D．The support of Native Americans.
11．What has stopped the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service from delisting grizzlies?
A．The opposition of conservation groups.
B．The successful comeback of grizzlies.
C．The voice of the biologists.
D．The local farmers’ advocates.
12．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．Food should be provided for grizzlies.
B．People can live in harmony with grizzlies.
C．A special path should be built for grizzlies.
D．Technology can be introduced to protect grizzlies.
The Camp Fire ravaged(毁坏) an area the size of Chicago, destroying 14,000 residences and taking more than 17 days to contain. As it spread, killing at least 85 people and displacing thousands more in Northern California, Madison waited patiently.
Madison’s owner, Andrea Gaylord, was not able to get to her home in Paradise, California, when the fire began to spread on Nov. 8, meaning Madison was left behind. For weeks, all Gaylord could do was pray for Madison’s safety.
Shayla Sullivan, a rescue volunteer, spotted Madison a few times in a valley, apparently guarding territory, and put out fresh food and water regularly in hopes that the dog would turn up. She even placed an article of clothing that smelled like Andrea near the home to keep Madison’s hope alive until his people could return.
When the evacuation(撤离) order was lifted last week and Andrea went back to the property—which had been destroyed by the fire—her prayers were answered: Madison was there, seemingly protecting what little remained of his family’s home.
“WELL, I’m so HAPPY to report that Andrea was allowed to return to her property today and THERE MADISON WAS!!!! He had stayed to protect what was left of his home, and NEVER gave up on his people!” Sullivan wrote in the comment on her Facebook post, which was shared 12,000 times as of Saturday evening. “I’m so happy. I’m crying as I write this! He didn’t give up through the storms or the fire! A LOOOOONG month it must have been for him!” she added.
Later, Andrea said in an interview that she was overcome with joy to see Madison waiting for her. Andrea lost everything in the fire and is now homeless, but she has been able to find some solace knowing her dogs are safe, “Imagine the loyalty of hanging in through the worst of circumstances and being here waiting,” Andrea told ABC10, fighting through tears. “You could never ask for better animals.”
13．Why was Madison left behind?
A．He was stopped by the fire.
B．He was unwilling to go with his owner.
C．He was ordered to protect the family home.
D．His owner was not at home when the fire spread.

A．She was worried whether Madison could survive.
B．She was overcome with joy to see Madison waiting for her.
C．She was happy Madison finally turned up for the food she left.
D．She was moved by what Madison did and his reunion with Andrea.
15．What did Andrea mean by saying “You could never ask for better animals.”?
A．Madison is the best dog.
B．One could not ask animals for help.
C．Animals are never better than humans.
D．Dogs are clever than any other animals.
16．What is the text mainly about?

C．A devoted dog reunited with his owner after the fire.
D．A frightened survivor had a narrow escape from the fire.
I heard many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling(叛逆). I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching at one another’s hands for reassurance.
They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. Then set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up with listening to the same record together. Their reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such a way is that many people are doing it. They have come out of their cocoon into a larger cocoon.
It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a teenage market. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be.
And many of today’s parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds to a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.
But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don’t care to share with your classmates at once, well, go to it. Find yourself. Popularity will come with the people who respect you for who you are. That is the only kind of popularity that really counts.
17．In this passage, who does the author wants to tell?
A．teenagers how to learn to decide things for themselves.
B．readers how to be popular with people around.
C．parents how to control and guide their children.
D．people how to understand and respect each other.
18．Many teenagers think they are brave enough to act on their own, but actually most of them ________.
A．lack confidence
B．are much afraid of getting lost
C．dare not deal with problems single-handed
D．have much difficulty understanding each other
19．What does the author think of advertisements?
A．Convincing. B．Influential. C．Advanced. D．Amazing.
20．During the teenage years, what should one learn to do?
A．Find one’s real self.
B．Differ from others in as many ways as possible.
C．Get into the right reason and become popular.
D．Rebel against parents and the popularity wave.
Until a few weeks ago, Asians were the only mask wearers in Western countries, causing even unfriendly responses from the Westerners. But this taboo(禁忌) is falling apart fast after more and more evidences from experiments say that the practice in effect in protecting human beings from infectious diseases. Now, an increasing number of Western countries, including Italy, France, the United States and Australia, have finally decided to recommend their citizens to wear masks in public places to protect one another from the deadly COVID-19 viruses.
For Western nations: the simple change is really difficult and the debate over the face mask has even developed into a larger discussion over the role of the individual in society. In the West, mask-wearing was seen through an individual’s perspective. It runs like “I am free to decide whether to wear a mask to protect myself or not”. However, in Asia, mask-wearing was seen through a social perspective. It runs like “If all individuals wear masks, the society will be protected”. The logics are fundamentally different and the change would require a big cultural adjustment because mask wearing in public places was even considered “strange and frightening” to the Westerners.
But mask-wearing in public places was also new to the Asians until it was struck by SARS in 2003. After that, mask-wearing has become such a part of daily life that it now plays a role in giving the public a sense of being “protected” in Asia.
“I’m convinced that pretty soon everyone in a Western family will have two or three reusable face masks,” said Jean Francois Mattéi president of France’s National Academy of Medicine.
21．Who are most likely to wear masks to protect one another?
A．Italians. B．Chinese. C．Americans. D．Australians.
22．What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A．The necessity of mask wearing. B．The differences between Asia and Europe.
C．The individuals’ role in society. D．The difficulty of accepting mask wearing.
23．What does Jean Francois Mattéi mean?

Michael Fish may soon be replaced as a weather forecaster by something truly fishier, the shark. Research by a British biology student suggests that sharks could be used to predict storms.
Lauren Smith, 24, is close to completing her study on sharks’ ability to sense pressure. If her studies prove the theory, scientists may be able to monitor the behaviour of sharks to predict bad weather.
Lauren Smith had previously studied the behaviour of lemon sharks in the Bahamas. She then used their close relatives, lesser spotted dogfish, for further research at the University of Aberdeen. Her work, thought to be the first of its kind to test the pressure theory, resulted from the observation that juvenile blacktip sharks off Florida moved into deeper water ahead of a violent storm in 2001. Lauren Smith said. “I’ve always been keen on travelling and diving and this led me to an interest in sharks. I was delighted to have been able to explore this arca for my PhD…”.
“Who can say if this could lead to sharks predicting weather fronts, there’s so much more we need to understand. But it certainly opens the way to more research,” said Lauren Smith. It has been discovered that a shark senses pressure using hair cells in its balance system.
At the Bimini Shark Lab in the Bahamas, Lauren Smith fixed high-tech sensors to sharks to record pressure and temperature, while also tracking them using GPS technology. In Aberdeen, she was able to study the effects of tidal and temperature changes on dogfish, neither of which were harmed. She also used a special lab which can mimic (模仿) oceanic pressure changes caused by weather fronts. She is due to complete her study and graduate later this year. She says she will be looking for a job which will give her the chance to enrich her experience of shark research.
28．What is Lauren Smith interested in?
A．How to help Michael Fish predict weather.
B．How to complete her study quickly.
C．How to predict storms with the help of sharks.
D．How to work as a weather forecaster.
29．What made Lauren Smith interested in shark research?
A．Her hobbies. B．The pressure theory. C．A violent storm. D．Her job.
30．Why did Lauren Smith put high-tech sensors onto sharks?
A．To test the oceanic pressure. B．To study the temperature changes.
C．To know the whereabouts of them. D．To record pressure and temperature.
31．Which of the following jobs may Lauren Smith take up?
A．A deep-sea diver. B．A customs officer. C．A worker in a park. D．An architect.
Bicycle riding has taken the world by storm. Bicycles are typically made of steel or aluminum but now there is a unique company that is growing bikes on trees, literally. These bicycles are made of British-grown ash trees by Welsh maker Andy Dix. His Hay-on-Wye company, Twmpa Frames, is making bikes that are of high performance and environmentally sustainable.
“It’s great to push for more bikes and fewer cars on the road, but there’s no escaping the fact that the bike industry as a whole is pretty energy intensive, ” Dix told Cycling Industry, “I’ve always tried to minimize environmental impact in my work. Rather than relying on heavily-processed metals, or layers of plastic that will one day end up in landfill, I’m building bikes from captured carbon, in a process powered by sunlight. ”
It took two years to build the prototype (雏形) that was made from ash wood. Dix tested the wooden bike on the roughest roads he could find and discovered that it was comfortable, durable, and excellent at absorbing shakes. He put more than 3, 000 miles on the bike. Dix explained, “I was running along battered roads that would have shaken me to bits on a aluminum bike. The penny dropped: Not only could I make a bike out of wood, but it had inherent advantages over other materials. ”
Though cutting down trees can add to more carbon in the atmosphere, sustainable tree farming is possible. Dix said that manufacturing a British tonne of aluminum results in carbon emissions of 4, 532 kg while producing a tonne of wood only emits 457 kg. Currently, the cost of a new Twmpa Cycle is out of reach for many bicycle riders; but the idea of using sustainable materials like ash trees could start a new cycling revolution that puts the environment first. Helping the environment could be just a pedal away.
32．What’s Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A．The driving force for wooden bikes.
B．The reasons for choosing the materials for building bikes.
C．The problems with cycling industry.
D．The process of building wooden bikes.
33．What does the underlined part “The penny dropped” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A．Money was missing.
B．The truth came out.
C．The bike broke down.
D．The efforts were in vain.
34．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．Logging trees is a wrong practice.
B．Developing sustainable forestry is a must.
C．The wooden bike does more good than harm.
D．Carbon emission calls for urgent attention.
35．Which of the following is a suitable title of the text?
A．Amazing? Bikes Grow on Trees
B．Less Carbon, More Sustainable
C．No Innovation, No Development
D．Amusing? Bike Riding Is Taking off
Every year, the brightest young scientists from around the globe come together to participate in the world’s largest pre-college science competition, the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair(ISEF). They demonstrate their knowledge of science and engineering to improve the way we work and live.
One of the winners, Katie Lu, found a method for removing oil from water. This concept can also be applied to the removal of microplastics from our oceans as well. Here is what Katie told reporters:
My experience at Intel ISEF was amazing! I remember on judging day, walking the exhibit hall and looking at the people gathered outside waiting to get in. My teacher turned to me and said, “That’s the future right there.” It was so amazing to spend time with all of these participants who are going to do amazing things in the future.
My scientific career has taught me not to fear failure and not to be afraid to ask for help. It’s really easy to be overwhelmed(挫败)and wonder if what you’re doing is going to work out, but even if it doesn’t, it’s OK! Always look on the positive side! A failure now doesn’t mean you’re a failure forever. Failure makes success feel earned when it comes. Also, asking for help is good when you’re struggling. You learn how to do things a lot faster and more efficiently.
I’m shocked that some people are still skeptical about climate change. It’s real and dangerous, and it’ s one of the most important issues of our generation. Reducing carbon emissions isn’t a “should”, it is a “must” to continue living on the planet. Additionally, people aren’t really worried about their personal impact on the earth in terms of littering, overusing plastic or wasting resources. If we don’t curb harmful human activity before it’s too late, it will be a problem that affects all humans, not just those that contribute.
36．What can we learn from what Katie’s teacher said in Paragraph3?
A．No Intel ISEF, no future. B．Failure is the mother of success.
C．All the talents are at the Intel ISEF. D．The participants will make the future wonderful.
37．What docs Paragraph 4 mainly tell us?
A．The relationship between failure and success.
B．What Katie has gained from her scientific career.
C．Seeking help is a shortcut to doing things well.
D．The problems Katie experienced in her science.
38．The underlined word “curb” in the last paragraph probably means_________.
A．control B．consider C．notice D．predict
39．What does Katie care about most?
A．Ocean exploration. B．Environmental problems.
C．The shortage of natural energy. D．The overpopulation on the earth.

【导语】本文是说明文，讲述了美国灰熊从濒危物种恢复到2000多头，但也带来了一些问题。
9．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Grizzly bears, which may grow to about 2.5 m long and weigh over 400 kg, occupy a conflicted corner of the American psyche-we revere them even as they give us frightening dreams. (灰熊可以长到2.5米长，体重超过400公斤，在美国人的心理中占据着一个矛盾的角落——即使它们给我们带来可怕的梦，我们也敬畏它们)”可知，美国人对灰熊既有害怕，又有敬畏，他们的情感是混合的。故选A项。
10．推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句“In 1975, grizzlies were listed under the Endangered Species Act. (1975年，灰熊被列入《濒危物种法》)”以及第四段“Today, there are about 2, 000 or more grizzly bears in the U.S. Their recovery has been so successful that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has twice attempted to delist grizzlies, which would loosen legal protections and allow them to be hunted. (如今，美国大约有2,000只或更多的灰熊。它们的恢复非常成功，以至于美国鱼类和野生动物管理局两次试图将灰熊从名单上除名，这将放松对灰熊的法律保护，允许它们被猎杀)”可推知，由于1975年起受法律保护，灰熊的数量有了增长。故选C项。
11．细节理解题。根据第四段中“Today, there are about 2,000 or more grizzly bears in the U.S. Their recovery has been so successful that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has twice attempted to delist grizzlies, which would loosen legal protections and allow them to be hunted. Both efforts were overturned due to lawsuits from conservation groups. For now, grizzlies remain listed. (如今，美国大约有2,000只或更多的灰熊。它们的恢复非常成功，以至于美国鱼类和野生动物管理局两次试图将灰熊从名单上除名，这将放松对灰熊的法律保护，允许它们被猎杀。由于环保组织的诉讼，这两项努力都被推翻了。目前，灰熊仍在名单上)”可知，是环保组织的的反对阻止了美国鱼类和野生动物管理局将灰熊从濒危物种名单上除名。故选A项。
12．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Obviously, if precautions aren’t taken, grizzlies can become troublesome, sometimes killing farm animals or walking through yards in search of food. If people remove food and attractants from their yards and campsites, grizzlies will typically pass by without trouble. Putting electric fencing around chicken houses and other farm animal quarters is also highly effective at getting grizzlies away. “Our hope is to have a clean, attractant-free place where bears can pass through without learning bad habits,“ says James Jonkel, longtime biologist who manages bears in and around Missoula. (显然，如果不采取预防措施，灰熊会变得很麻烦，有时会杀死农场动物，或者在院子里寻找食物。如果人们把食物和引诱剂从他们的院子和露营地移走，灰熊通常会安然通过。在鸡舍和其他农场动物生活区周围设置电动围栏也能有效地赶走灰熊。“我们希望有一个干净，没有诱饵的地方，熊可以通过，而不会养成坏习惯，”詹姆斯·琼克尔说，他是一位长期管理米苏拉及其周围熊的生物学家)”可推知，灰熊数量增长，虽然会带来一些麻烦，但是如果采取一些预防措施，人和灰熊可以和谐相处。故选B项。

It runs like “If all individuals wear masks, the society will be protected”.(然而，在亚洲，戴口罩是从社会角度来看的。它就像“如果所有人都戴口罩，社会就会受到保护”)”可知，亚洲人会戴口罩来保护彼此。只有B项“Chinese”属于亚洲人。故选B项。
22．主旨大意题。根据第二段“For Western nations: the simple change is really difficult and the debate over the face mask has even developed into a larger discussion over the role of the individual in society. In the West, mask-wearing was seen through an individual’s perspective. It runs like “I am free to decide whether to wear a mask to protect myself or not”. However, in Asia, mask-wearing was seen through a social perspective. It runs like “If all individuals wear masks, the society will be protected”. The logics are fundamentally different and the change would require a big cultural adjustment because mask wearing in public places was even considered “strange and frightening” to the Westerners.(对于西方国家来说，简单的改变是非常困难的，关于口罩的争论甚至已经发展到一个更大的关于个人在社会中的角色的讨论。在西方，戴口罩是通过个人的角度来看待的。它的意思是“我可以自由决定是否戴口罩来保护自己”。然而，在亚洲，人们从社会的角度看待戴口罩。它就像“如果每个人都戴口罩，社会就会得到保护”。逻辑是根本不同的，这种变化需要很大的文化调整，因为在公共场所戴口罩对西方人来说甚至是“奇怪和可怕的”。)”可知，第二段主要分析了为什么对于西方国家来说，很难接受戴口罩这件事。故选D项。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍一种长在树上的自行车，即，用白蜡树做成的环保自行车。
32．主旨大意题。根据第二段““It’s great to push for more bikes and fewer cars on the road, but there’s no escaping the fact that the bike industry as a whole is pretty energy intensive, ” Dix told Cycling Industry, “I’ve always tried to minimize environmental impact in my work. Rather than relying on heavily-processed metals, or layers of plastic that will one day end up in landfill, I’m building bikes from captured carbon, in a process powered by sunlight. ” (迪克斯告诉《自行车产业》：“推动道路上多骑自行车、少开汽车是件好事，但不可否认的事实是，自行车行业作为一个整体是相当能源密集型的。我一直试图在工作中尽量减少对环境的影响。我不是依靠经过大量加工的金属，或者有一天会被扔进垃圾填埋场的塑料层，我从捕获的碳中制造自行车，这个过程由阳光供电。”)”可知，迪克斯介绍了选择制造自行车材料的原因：尽量减少对环境的影响。故选B。
33．习语猜测题。根据第三段最后两句“Dix explained, “I was running along battered roads that would have shaken me to bits on a aluminum bike. The penny dropped: Not only could I make a bike out of wood, but it had inherent advantages over other materials. ” (迪克斯解释说：“我当时正沿着破旧的道路奔跑，如果骑在铝制自行车上，我可能会被震成碎片。 ：我不仅可以用木头制造自行车，而且它比其他材料具有固有的优势。”)”可知，在破旧的道路上，如果骑在铝制自行车上可能会被震成碎片，从而说明了木头制造的自行车比其他材料更具有优势。根据句意及划线词后的冒号可知，前句铝制自行车的的情况更加证明了后句木头制造自行车的优势，即，The truth came out.引出真相。故选B。
34．推理判断题。根据末段“Though cutting down trees can add to more carbon in the atmosphere, sustainable tree farming is possible. Dix said that manufacturing a British tonne of aluminum results in carbon emissions of 4, 532 kg while producing a tonne of wood only emits 457 kg. Currently, the cost of a new Twmpa Cycle is out of reach for many bicycle riders; but the idea of using sustainable materials like ash trees could start a new cycling revolution that puts the environment first. Helping the environment could be just a pedal away. (虽然砍伐树木会增加大气中的碳含量，但可持续的树木种植是可能的。迪克斯说，生产一吨铝会产生4532公斤的碳排放，而生产一吨木材只会产生457公斤的碳排放。目前，一辆新的Twmpa自行车的价格超出了许多骑自行车的人的承受能力；但是，使用像白蜡树这样的可持续材料的想法可能会引发一场新的自行车革命，将环境放在第一位。帮助环境可能只是一个踏板之遥)”可知，虽然砍伐树木制造自行车会增加大气中的碳含量，但是使用像白蜡树这样的可持续材料的想法可能会引发一场新的自行车革命，将环境放在第一位。木制自行车利大于弊。故选C。
35．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据首段第二句“Bicycles are typically made of steel or aluminum but now there is a unique company that is growing bikes on trees, literally. (自行车通常是由钢或铝制成的，但现在有一家独特的公司正在树上种植自行车)”可知，本文主要介绍一种长在树上的自行车，即，用白蜡树做成的环保自行车。Amazing? Bikes Grow on Trees“神奇吗？自行车长在树上”符合全文大意。故选A。

【导语】本文是新闻报道。每年，来自世界各地的年轻科学家聚集在一起，参加世界上最大的大学预科科学竞赛—英特尔国际科学与工程博览会。文章报道了2019年的奖项获得者Katie在接受记着采访时，表达了科学生涯给她的启迪和她对人们并不是真正关心环境问题的担忧。
36．细节理解题。根据第三段中Katie的老师对她说的话“That’s the future right there.（这就是未来。）”以及Katie说的话“It was so amazing to spend time with all of these participants who are going to do amazing things in the future.（能和这些将来会做出惊人事情的参与者们在一起真是太棒了。）”可知，Katie的老师认为参加英特尔国际科学与工程博览会(ISEF)的这些年轻科学家们将让未来变得美好。故选D项。
37．主旨大意题。在第四段中Katie说“My scientific career has taught me not to fear failure and not to be afraid to ask for help.（我的科学生涯教会了我不要害怕失败，不要害怕寻求帮助。）”；下文提到Katis的感受“A failure now doesn’t mean you’re a failure forever. Failure makes success feel earned when it comes. Also, asking for help is good when you’re struggling.（现在的失败并不意味着你永远都是一个失败者。失败使成功来临时感到自己是辛苦挣来的。此外，当你遇到困难时，寻求帮助也是件好事。）”可知，该段是阐述Katie从她的科学生涯中得到的启迪。故选B项。
38．词句猜测题。划线词前一句提到“people aren’t really worried about their personal impact on the earth in terms of littering, overusing plastic or wasting resources.（人们并不是真正担心个人不好的行为，如乱扔垃圾、过度使用塑料或浪费资源等对地球造成的影响。）”划线词后面的主句部分说明这类行为的不良影响“it will be a problem that affects all humans .（这将是一个影响全人类的问题。）”从句“If we don’t curb harmful human activity（如果我们curb有害的人类活动）”表示假设，可以猜测其意思为“如果不遏制人类的这些对环境有害的行为”，其中“curb”意思为“遏制，控制”。故选A项。
39．推理判断题。文章第二段提到“One of the winners, Katie Lu, found a method for removing oil from water. （其中一位获奖者，Katie Lu，发现了一种从水中去除油的方法。）” Katie Lu发现了一种从水中去除油的方法，因此获奖。她的发现是关于环境问题的；以及文章最后一段中Katis所说的话“It’s real and dangerous, and it’ s one of the most important issues of our generation. Reducing carbon emissions isn’t a “should”, it is a “must” to continue living on the planet. （这是真实的，是危险的，也是我们这一代最重要的问题之一。要继续生活在这个星球上，减少碳排放不是“应该”，而是“必须”。）”可知，Katis最关注的是环境问题。故选B项。
