2．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（疫苗）.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（排放） 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.

A．The active involvement of thousands of users.

3．Human activity has shrunk（縮?。?the size of wild animals worldwide，and yet recent research has found many mammals（哺乳動(dòng)物） living near cities have gradually become larger，both in length and in weight.The findings are unexpected.Spreading urban environments can grow much hotter than natural habitats，and warmer temperatures usually benefit mammals that have a smaller，more energy-saving figure—a principle of biology known as Bergmann's rule.
As the world grows warmer，scientists have worried that mammals living near cities are going to grow smaller，possibly reducing their fitness and the fitness of their predators（捕食者）.Even with climate change that might not happen.As it turns out，there is another factor affecting a mammal's size that might exceed temperature，and that is food.In and around places with dense populations，where high-calorie human foods are more widely available and predators are fewer and farther in between，new research discovered that most of the mammal species studied appear to be growing in size，not shrinking.According to careful measurements of more than 100 species from North America，gathered from museum collections over the past 80 years，the main reason is not a city's temperature.Instead，the greatest increases in weight and body length appear to lie among those mammals that live near humans，regardless of how hot their surroundings are.
As climate change grows worse，there is，of course，the possibility that that might change，but at least for now，it seems wolves，deer，bats，and other mammals in North America could be affected more by city populations than city climates.
If we want to protect mammals that exist today for the future，it's important we know how human civilization is influencing their size，behavior，and well-bejye.aig.In a rapidly changing world，that knowledge could mean the difference between ongoing life and dying out.
（1）Why are the findings unexpected according to Paragraph 1 ？
A．The temperature in cities is hotter than that in nature.
B．Mammals around cities grow against Bergmann's rule.
C．The animals living in nature become bigger in size.
D．The city temperature makes animals become smaller.
（2）What does the underlined word "dense" in Paragraph 2 mean？
A．Large.
B．Young.
C．Working.
D．Educated.
（3）Which of the following best supports the main idea of the text？
A．Human activity has shrunk the size of wild animals.
B．Climate matters most in determining the size of mammals.
C．Mammals become larger with more food near cities.
D．Living in hot surroundings shapes the size of mammals.
（4）What will the passage most probably talk about next？
A．Human's impact on the mammals' development.
B．Different ways to rescue the endangered city animals.
C．How to help mammals adjust to the climate change.
D．What healthy food can be given to city mammals.組卷：3引用：4難度：0.4

9．Poor little Maggie was left alone after her mother died.What's worse，no one would like to take her home.Two years before，a fall from a window had injured her spine，and she had not been able to leave her bed since.
"Take her to the orphanage（孤兒院），" said a neighbour.Joe Thompson，farmer who happened to pass by，paused and said to him， "It's a cruel thing to send her there." "Oh，Sir，" Maggie cried out， "don't leave me here all alone!"
Though not good-looking in appearance.Joe Thompson had a soft jye.aiart.He liked children. "No，dear，" he answered， "you shall not be left alone." Lifting her in his strong arms，he took her across the field to his home.
"Who is she？" sharply questioned Mrs.Thompson upon his return home. "Wait a moment for explanations，and be gentle，" Joe said equally sharply back.He carried Maggie to a small room on the first floor，and laid her on a bed.Then，stepping back，he shut the door，and stood face to face with his angry wife.
"I can't believe it that you've brought home a sick child!" Her face was in a flame. "I think women's hearts are sometimes very hard，" said Joe.His sudden outbreak had impressed his wife and he added quickly， "This poor motherless little one needs a family.Let's keep her here."
The voice of the strong，rough man shook，and he turned his head away，so that the tears in his eyes could not be seen.Mrs.Thompson did not answer，but a soft feeling crept into her heart. "Look at her kindly Jane，and speak to her kindly，" said Joe， "Think of her dead mother，and the loneliness，the pain，the sorrow that must be on all her coming life." Mrs.Thompson did not reply，but turned towards the little room where her husband had put Maggie：and，pushing open the door，went quietly in.Joe did not follow；he felt that it would be best to leave her alone with the child.
