As a senior school graduate, with COVID-19 cases rising and lockdown hitting, I’ve had plenty of concerns. Losing my graduation ceremony was one of them. But being unable to lend a hand to my community at such a terrible time was the greatest concern. Except for wearing my mask, following the health officials’ guidelines, and assisting seniors to get their groceries, there wasn’t anything more I could do.
Then it struck me. Solving COVID-19 relied only on individual steps and the goodwill of human awareness. But the next challenge we have to deal with ahead is climate change known as the silent pandemic without a vaccine. So all I could think of was: Why don’t we do the same for it, and try to deal with global warming through our everyday activities?
I have decided to take a gap year and created an app to help people reduce carbon emissions from their shopping and transport activities. Even though I’d never written any program before, my will was greater than any excuse I could think of. The first version was just a one-screen app. Through the lockdown, I’ve had only 70 people to test the concept with and barely created any impact. Plus, the process of leading a social organization seemed like a small boat in a rough sea to me. But instead of giving up, I chose to fill the gap. And the coolest thing was that the more I was learning, the more people got interested in the idea. Through every leadership program, I built a stronger user community where each person was equally passionate and brave to make a change. Their enthusiasm was my greatest fuel for innovation.
Today, through the app, over 4,000 people reduced more than 150,000 kg carbon emissions. The app turned into an international movement. I proved to myself that miracles really happen when you dare to make a change.
36. What was the author’s greatest concern during COVID-19?
A. Losing the graduation ceremony. B. Being unable to help his neighbours.
C. Having to stay at home every day. D. Having to wear a mask every day.
37. What inspired the author to create the app?
A. The active involvement of thousands of users.
B. The author’s contributions to community service.
C. The influence of human activities on global warming.
D. Similarities between fighting climate change and COVID-19.
38. What can we know about the app from the passage?
A. It is for leading an organization.
B. It is a well-designed one-screen app.
C. It became an instant hit when first invented.
D. It inspires people worldwide to make a change.
39. How can we describe the author?
A. Kind and humorous. B. Brave and adventurous.
C. Determined and creative. D. Friendly and cautious.
40. What message does the story convey?
A. Education is the key to success.
B. Ups and downs make one strong.
C. Creativity results from challenging authority.
D. Miracles will happen when you dare to make a change.

C
This summer we witnessed interview teams at the North Pole wearing short sleeve shirts due to the warm weather. A study published on Aug 29 revealed more concerning issues in the supposedly coldest area of the world. Zombie ice from a massive Greenland ice sheet was confirmed to be molting, which would eventually raise global sea levels by at least 10 inches (27 centimeters) on its own, reported Associated Press (AP).
Zombie ice is the kind of ice that is still attached to thicker areas of ice, but is no longer getting fed by larger glaciers. Since glaciers are getting less snow to complement the amount of ice melted, once the zombie ice is melted, it cannot be re-formed.
Scientists decided to look at the balance of the ice. In perfect equilibrium(平衡), snow in the mountains of Greenland flows down and thickens the sides of glaciers, balancing out what’s molting on the edges, according to AP. But in the last few decades, there is less refill and more melting, creating an imbalance.
Study co-author William Colgan at the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland told AP that 3.3 percent of Greenland’s total ice volume will melt eventually. “Starving would be a good phrase for what’s happening to the ice,” Colgan added.
With a great number of natural resources buried under the earth, areas of melted ice revealed treasures that attracted the world’s richest men. According to CNN, in early August, there was a “treasure hunt” in Greenland. Billionaires, including Bill Gates and others, financially backed KoBold Metals, a US-based mineral exploration company, to explore the rare metals under the glaciers in Greenland. The company told CNN that since there were enough minerals to power hundreds of millions of electric vehicles the critical resource is capable of powering the green energy transition.
While investors are taking advantage of global warming, experts express their concerns that the mineral exploration is likely to worsen the local environment, draining up the world’s resources at a faster rate.
41. What do we know about zombie ice?
A. It will melt away from the ice sheet.
B. It’s independent from large glaciers.
C. It has increased sea levels by up to 10 inches.
D. It’s complemented by nearby natural resources.
42. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. What larger glaciers exactly are.
B. Why melted zombie ice can’t be re-formed
C. What the melting of zombie ice can lead to.
D. How zombie ice functions in the ecosystem.
43. What’s the experts’ attitude toward the “treasure hunt” in Greenland?
A. Supportive. B. Tolerant. C. Worried. D. Indifferent.
44. The underlined part “draining up” in Paragraph 6 can be understood as ________.
A. cutting up B. pulling up C. using up D. drying up
45. What’s the main purpose of the article?
A. To comment on the “treasure hunt”.
B. To report on the melting zombie ice.
C. To show the green energy transition.
D. To introduce the mineral exploration.
【答案】41. A 42. B 43. C 44. C 45. B

【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了格陵兰岛冰原的一块僵尸冰即将从大冰原脱离并融化。
【41题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“Zombie ice from a massive Greenland ice sheet was confirmed to be melting, which would eventually raise global sea levels by at least 10 inches (27 centimeters) on its own, reported Associated Press (AP).(据美联社报道，来自格陵兰岛巨大冰原的僵尸冰被证实正在融化，这最终将使全球海平面上升至少10英寸(27厘米)。)”以及第二段第一句话“Zombie ice is the kind of ice that is still attached to thicker areas of ice, but is no longer getting fed by larger glaciers.(僵尸冰是指仍然附着在较厚的冰层上，但不再从较大的冰川中获得营养的冰。)”可知，僵尸冰是指仍然附在较厚的冰层上，但不再从较大的冰川中获得营养的冰。由此可推知，僵尸冰一旦从较大的冰原中脱离，将会融化。故选A项。
【42题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第二段内容“Zombie ice is the kind of ice that is still attached to thicker areas of ice, but is no longer getting fed by larger glaciers. Since glaciers are getting less snow to complement the amount of ice melted, once the zombie ice is melted, it cannot be re-formed.(僵尸冰是指仍然附着在较厚的冰层上，但不再从较大的冰川中获得营养的冰。由于冰川的积雪越来越少，无法与融化的冰相补充，一旦僵尸冰融化，它就无法重新形成。)”可知，本段主要介绍了为什么融化的僵尸冰不能重新形成。故选B项。
【43题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“While investors are taking advantage of global warming, experts express their concerns that the mineral exploration is likely to worsen the local environment, draining up the world’s resources at a faster rate.(在投资者利用全球变暖的同时，专家们表达了他们的担忧：矿产勘探可能会恶化当地环境，以更快的速度耗尽世界资源。)”可知，“寻宝游戏”可能会恶化当地的环境，以更快的速度耗尽世界资源。由此可知，作者对“寻宝游戏”表示担忧。故选C项。
【44题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章最后一段“While investors are taking advantage of global warming, experts express their concerns that the mineral exploration is likely to worsen the local environment, draining up the world’s resources at a faster rate.(在投资者利用全球变暖的同时，专家们表达了他们的担忧：矿产勘探可能会恶化当地环境，以更快的速度draining up世界资源。)”可知，矿产勘探可能会恶化当地环境，其结果必然是以更快的速度耗尽世界资源。draining up此处表示“用尽、耗尽”，与use up互为同义表达。故选C项。
【45题详解】
推理判断题。阅读文章内容可知，这是一篇新闻报道，文章第一段“Zombie ice from a massive Greenland ice sheet was confirmed to be molting, which would eventually raise global sea levels by at least 10 inches (27 centimeters) on its own, reported Associated Press (AP).(据美联社报道，来自格陵兰岛冰原的僵尸冰被证实正在蜕皮，这最终将使全球海平面上升至少10英寸(27厘米)。)”提出报道主题：来自格陵兰岛冰原的僵尸冰正在蜕皮；第二段介绍了什么是僵尸冰，以及僵尸冰融化后不能再次形成的原因；第三、四段介绍了格陵兰岛冰川的变化；第五段提到了许多富翁打算等冰川融化后，在格陵兰岛进行一场“寻宝游戏”；最后一段提到了这种“寻宝游戏”可能进一步使当地环境恶化。由此可知，作者写本文的目的是为了报道僵尸冰的融化。故选B项。

When I was seven years old, I saw my mother making doll clothes. She told me that they were for the poor people, so I never gave it another thought. On Christmas morning when I opened my present, there were those beautiful doll clothes. My mother just smiled and said, “They are for the poor people. We’re poor.”
When I was nine, my greatest desire in life was to own a pogo stick (弹簧高跷). But my mother told me that we simply couldn’t afford one. A few days before Christmas, my parents and I went shopping. While my mother and I were paying the money, my dad came with a long box. I remember wondering at that very moment if it was a pogo stick in that box. After we arrived back at home my dad put the box in the bam. While my parents were away, I shuck out to the barn to find the box. I was so excited and I knew that as soon as I opened that magical box, my bright, shiny pogo stick would appear. No such luck! Inside the box was a silly old broom. And so Christmas morning was disappointing. After all the wrapping paper was cleaned up, my dad came back from the barn with a beautiful pogo stick. I couldn’t believe it, how they were able to get the money for it and how they tricked me with the broom. My parents probably laughed quietly when they played the trick on me and I wondered if they were watching me from the window as I went out to the barn secretly for my Christmas present.
Although we didn’t have much money, my parents gave me the most important gift of all, much love. We had love and we had joy.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者一次圣诞节以为会收到渴望已久的礼物———只弹簧高跷，却发现只是一把扫帚，失望至极，然后发现是父母捉弄自己，最终收到了梦寐以求的礼物的故事。
【46题详解】
考查细节理解。由第一段中的“When I was seven years old, I saw my mother making doll clothes. She told me that they were for the poor people, so I never gave it another thought. On Christmas morning when I opened my present, there were those beautiful doll clothes. (当我七岁的时候，我看到妈妈在做洋娃娃衣服。她告诉我他们是为穷人准备的，所以我再也没有想过。圣诞节的早晨，当我打开礼物时，里面有那些漂亮的洋娃娃衣服)”可知，作者7岁那年圣诞节早上收到了漂亮的洋娃娃衣服作为礼物。故答案为：Beautiful doll clothes.
47题详解】
考查词句猜测。由第二段中的“I remember wondering at that very moment if it was a pogo stick in that box. After we arrived back at home my dad put the box in the bam. While my parents were away, I shuck out to the barn to find the box. (我记得那一刻我在想，盒子里是不是一根弹簧高跷。我们回到家后，我爸爸把盒子放在了袋子里。我父母不在的时候，我shuck出去谷仓找盒子)”和“I was so excited and I knew that as soon as I opened that magical box, my bright, shiny pogo stick would appear. (我非常兴奋，我知道只要我打开那个神奇的盒子，我那闪亮的弹簧高跷就会出现)”可知，作者急于知道盒子里的圣诞礼物是不是弹簧高跷，所以当父母不在，就悄悄地跑进爸爸放礼物的谷仓，shuck意为“偷偷溜进”，本段下文中的“I went out to the barn secretly for my Christmas present.”（我偷偷地去谷仓看圣诞礼物）也是提示，故答案为：Went/Move secretly/quietly.
【48题详解】
考查细节理解。由第二段中的“I was so excited and I knew that as soon as I opened that magical box, my bright, shiny pogo stick would appear. No such luck! Inside the box was a silly old broom. And so Christmas morning was disappointing. (我非常兴奋，我知道只要我打开那个神奇的盒子，我那闪亮的弹簧高跷就会出现。没有这样的运气！盒子里有一把愚蠢的旧扫帚。所以圣诞节的早晨令人失望)”可知，作者本以为自己爸爸给他买了一根弹簧高跷，所以收到旧扫帚（不是想象的礼物）才会感到失望。故答案为：He thought his father had bought him a pogo stick./He thought there was a pogo stick in the box.
【49题详解】
考查细节理解。由第二段中的“My parents probably laughed quietly when they played the trick on me and I wondered if they were watching me from the window as I went out to the barn secretly for my Christmas present. (当我的父母捉弄我的时候，他们可能会悄悄地笑，我不知道当我偷偷地去谷仓看圣诞礼物时，他们是否在从窗户看着我)”和最后一段中的“We had love and we had joy. (我们有爱，我们有快乐)”可知，作者的父母在盒子里放了一把扫帚，是因为他们想捉弄他的儿子，给全家带来欢乐。故答案为：They wanted to play a trick on his son and brought joy to the family.
【50题详解】
考查开放答题。本题要求写一写自己认为的最好的送给父亲或者母亲的礼物，并解释原因，选中一个礼物即可，如：送花给母亲，因为她喜欢花。故答案为：I think the best present for my mother is a bunch of flowers because she loves flowers.
