• 2．Rose McGee bakes sweet potato pies for mourning communities all over the country.This year，she found herself serving sweet relief in her own backyard.On the first night of the police curfew in Minneapolis last summer，Rose McGee barely slept. "People I know were out on the streets，" says the 69-year-old resident of nearby Golden Valley. "I was worried." McGee decided to stay up the following night and bake sweet potato pies.
     In the morning，goods were first sent to mourners at George Floyd's memorial site.She delivered her baked goods first to just 14 miles away，and then to protestors and volunteers at the Minneapolis branch of the NAACP.The following weekend，she took dozens more to a temporary food distribution center in St.Paul where many grocery stores had been destroyed.
     Sadly，McGee has made Sweet Potato Comfort Pies，as she calls them，all too often in recent years.She baked her first pack in 2014，after news of unrest broke out in Ferguson，Missouri，following the police killing of Michael Brown.McGee drove more than 500 miles to Ferguson to personally deliver the 30 pies she had made in the same year.The next year，she shipped more to Charleston，South Carolina，where nine worshippers had been shot dead at the Mother Emanuel AME Church.After two years，McGee's pies comforted those in and around Minneapolis after police officers fatally shot Jamar Clark and Philando Castile. "Looking at those who are in suffering，I am in sorrow.I'm looking forward to comforting them.As people carry these pies，they're able to have dialogues，able to listen to each other." McGee says， "If we don't start listening more，I don't know how we'll ever be able to move forward.The pies are simply what can promote that."
  
  （1）The reason why McGee was worried on that night is that

  .
  A．her neighbors might stay up too late

• 3．Climate change is threatening our future as more and more greenhouse gases like CO₂ are gathering in the atmosphere and heating up the planet.To fight the problem，both scientists and economists have suggested some good solutions.It turns out that whales，animals we've hunted to near extinction，are excellent at taking away CO₂ .
     Whales remove CO₂ from the air in two ways.First，they move nutrients（營(yíng)養(yǎng)物）from their feeding areas deep in the ocean back to the surface，where they release them in their waste.Those nutrients aid the growth of phytoplankton（浮游植物），which，like other plants，takes away CO₂ from the air.Second，whales themselves collect CO₂ in their bodies when they eat other animals.The total amount of the gas adds up to about 33 tons over a whale's lifetime.When whales die，they take away all that CO₂ with them down to the ocean floor.
     Saving the whales could also be more cost effective than planting trees.Financial experts say that one whale，taking away CO₂ and tour value，would be worth about US＄2 million over its lifetime.Compare this to the high costs needed to plant and keep forests for removing CO₂，and you'll see why whales might be an effective solution.
     At one time，millions of whales swam the world's oceans.Unluckily，commercial whaling between the 1600s and the mid-1900s brought many whale species close to extinction.
     Starting in the 1970s，careful management of whaling began.Many species are recovering，but the giant animals still face major threats.One threat is continued hunting despite international regulation.For example，in Japan， "scientific" kills are carried out-often an excuse to get whale meat，which is considered delicious food.Public outcry has pressured many countries to limit or end whaling，and experts believe a new way to make money from whales-whale watching-will also be effective.However，another is more difficult to solve-pollution.Whales are affected by pollution from chemicals，noise，and the huge amounts of plastic and garbage that end up in the oceans.
     These giants of the sea are important to the future health of our planet.If whale populations increased to where they were before commercial whaling，whales could remove an estimated 1.7 billion tons of CO₂ per year.It might be an impossible dream，but it's one definitely worth fighting for.
  
  （1）Which of the following is NOT true about how whales remove carbon from the air？

  
  A．They move nutrients from deep in the ocean to the surface.
  B．Many species of whales don't release CO₂ .
  C．Whales collect CO₂ in their bodies through the food they eat.
  D．When whales die，the collected CO₂ remains in their bodies.
  （2）What is the financial value of a whale compared to？

  
  A．The commercial hunting of ocean animals.
  B．The financial value of ocean tourism.
  C．The high costs of tree planting and forest protecting.
  D．The ability of phytoplankton to remove CO₂ from the air.
  （3）According to the passage，what threat is the harder to solve now？

  
  A．Pollution.
  B．Scientific kills.
  C．Whale watching.
  D．Continued hutting.
  （4）What is the main purpose of the passage？

  
  A．To analyse the benefits whales bring.
  B．To explain why whales are endangered.
  C．To evaluate the effect of commercial whaling.
  D．To call on people to save whales so as to protect the world.

      "Ada!Milk!" Mama called.
   Milk.It was Ada's turn to get it.Ada sighed and shut her first-aid book.Her head hurt from reading in the dim morning light，but how else was she going to learn？
   Ada tied the cow close to a tree.Somewhere down the mountain，some volunteer doctors were teaching medical skills to village nurses.Ada heard Betty drive off hours ago. "She should have taken me with her.She thinks I'm too young，but she's wrong.I am already 16!" Ada thought.
   Ada carried the milk back to Mama，then wandered up the road.Roy，a village boy，had gotten a donkey，and some kids had gathered around to see it.Roy was always doing something to get attention.Like now：he was trying to stand on the animal's bare back.
      "No wonder they don't trust kids with anything important"，Ada thought，sighing.She had just turned away when she heard a thud and a few screams.Roy lay on the ground nearby moaning in pain.The donkey stood several meters away. "Roy!" The kids nearby ran towards him. "Get Betty，" one said.Ada shook her head. "Betty's gone to the city." The other kids seemed frozen in place.
   Ada ran to where Roy was lying.She dropped to her knees on the dusty road. "Roy!Can you hear me？" Roy moaned in agony.Ada saw that one of his legs was crooked，bent a little sideways between the knee and the ankle.A broken leg!
   She remembered what the first-aid book had said about broken legs：if there is no ambulance，straighten the bone before moving the victim.There certainly wouldn't be any ambulance here.Ada looked back up the road.The other kids were still standing there，watching. "Victor!" Ada called to one of the boys. "Go get Roy's mama，and find someone with a truck." She turned to the others. "Give me your shirts.We need something to tie his leg with."
  注意：
  1.續(xù)寫(xiě)詞數(shù)應(yīng)為 150 左右；
  2.請(qǐng)按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。
