Scientists believe that due to climate change,Kivalina,in northwestern Alaska,will be underwater by 2025. The sea around Kivalina continues to rise,the storms get stronger,and the ice gets thinner.
Kivalina City Council member Colleen Swan says the villagers rely for food mostly on what the environment,especially the ocean,provides for them.“It’s been our way to make a living for hundreds of years,”she says.“During the winter months the ice is part of our landscape,because we go out there and we set up camps and hunt. We were able to see the changes years ago.”In May,June and July,the men go out on the ice hunting bearded seals. They cut up the seals,dry them and store them for the winter. At about the start of this century,they noticed the season started two weeks early and the ice began to thin sooner than before. Now the hunters must keep a close eye on the ice. If they don’t,they could miss the hunting season.
The Arctic is warming about twice as fast as the global average,so sea ice is forming on the Kivalina coastline later in the year and melting faster in the spring and summer. The lack of sea ice makes the island vulnerable to erosion(侵蝕)from storms that occur regularly in the fall;it also means warmer waters,which increase the seriousness of storms that hit the island.
“We just had a minor storm last fall,”Swan says.“When we got that storm last fall,I decided I’m just going to go to sleep. I’m tired of worrying,I want to get some rest. The next morning when I woke up,I saw the impacts from a minor storm and how quickly the water rose,and I realized that was a very dangerous thing for me to do,to sleep,to not face the reality of that night.” 24. In order not to miss hunting seals,when should hunters start their preparations now?
A. Before mid-April.
B. In early May.
C. In May through July.
D. Before storms come.
25. What is the most serious consequence of the lack of sea ice?
A. A larger ice-free port comes into being.
B. Dried seals are found nowhere to store.
C. The communities are washed away more seriously.
D. Villagers have harder access to clean drinking water.
26.What kind of reality do they have to face every day in the fall?
A. Measuring the ice before sleep.
B. Watching the situation of storms.
C. Worrying about their children’s education.
D. Researching when they can set up hunting camps.
27. What does the underlined word“vulnerable”in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. likely to become angry
B. able to be attacked by the enemy
C. needing to be dealt with carefully
D. easy to be damaged by harmful things

When was the last time you had a roll of film developed? For many,our digital devices are datebook,rolodex and camera all in one. But moments captured(捕捉)on film are finding a second life through a project based in Idaho.
In his darkroom,Levi Bettwieser skillfully unspools,cuts and winds a roll of film into a canister(膠片盒). He washes it in several chemicals, waits a few minutes,then takes it out and holds it up to the light.
Bettwieser didn’t take these pictures,and he doesn’t work for a developing lab. Cameras have always been a part of his life. So when he started looking for old cameras in thrift stores,he was surprised to find that some still had film in them.
He tried to develop them anyway———and it worked.All the images from those rolls were nothing more than birthday parties and vacations and things like that. But he realized that those were important mo原ments for people. He searches here and there for unde原veloped film(some from the 1930s)then posts his find原ings on a website. He says his mission is to reunite film owners with their photos———and it seemed to resonate.“People started sending me rolls of film,”he explains.
Somebody may have taken the roll decades ago,and for years the memory remained locked away. Then Bettwieser comes along and not only develops it,but records it in a digital archive. About 10 years ago,Dennis Wingo,who’s worked with NASA,undertook his project to restore pictures of the moon taken by the orbiter in the mid-1960s. He’s aware this isn’t the last time someone like him will have todoajob likethis.
Wingo saved images of the moon that helped the Apollo missions,and Bettwieser is saving photos of bygone Christmases. But Bettwieser thinks both add something to history.“It makes us all realize that we all kind of do the same things and we are similar as human beings,”he says.
32. What made Bettwieser think of posting photos online?
A. He was learning how to process old film in a lab.
B. He collected photos of Christmases in different times.
C. He wanted to exhibit those old cameras for online sale.
D. He thought film-recorded events important to their owners.
33. What does the underlined word“this”in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A. Restoring photos of the moon.
B. Conducting research with NASA.
C. Improving memory for big events.
D. Starting a project to save NASA photos.
34. Bettwieser and Wingo are both devoted to their projects because they _______.
A. are fond of photography
B. are appointed by their superiors
C. aim to preserve photos from the past
D. share the experiences with followers
35. What is the text mainly about?
A. The challenge of keeping the past presents.
B. The value of saving old film in a new form.
C. The projects of solving preservation puzzles.
D. The reunion of film owners with their photos.

But there are some people who should avoid drinking too much,including pregnant women. Those with high blood pressure should also be mindful of their intake.

Symptoms of too much caffeine include anxiety,headaches,upset stomach,diarrhea,frequent urination,a racing heart or poor sleep. If you’re experiencing those symptoms,it’s time to cut back. Withdrawal brings its own symptoms,though.39.

Washington State is home to lots of trees. But what if you lived there and couldn’t chop(劈)wood or couldn’t 41 to pay someone to do it? 42,Shane McDaniel and his twin sons,Harrison and Henry,are happy to 43 an ax. They chop wood———then donate it to those in need.
The idea started 44 a father-son bonding project.“I had to cut wood with my dad. He just loved doing it,”says Shane. He wanted to 45 along that feeling, so he and the twins spent the summer of 2018 like a family of Paul Bunyans. The 46 was a great wall of wood 47 around their house.
It was too much for the McDaniels to use themselves,and 48 the weather turned cold that November,Shane started thinking of 49 . He posted on Facebook:“If you are 50firewood and cannot afford it,please PM [personal message] me! ... If you know someone who burns wood,and they’re looking at a(n)51 house this holiday season,please help us help them. Please help me and my boys make sure no one goes cold in our hood.”
The 52 was immediate. One man 53 to donate a wood-burning furnace. Others raced over to Shane’s mini-mart(雜货店)with 54 wood for the pile.
A single mom and her four-year-old daughter 55 a wood-burning stove as their only source of heat,so it was a 56 to receive a truckload of firewood from the McDaniels.“To get that much wood 57 me to tears,”she said.“So much stress and 58 is off my shoulders. I couldn’t be more 59 .” “Giving is the 60,”Shane says.“It’s about how much it’s needed.”

阅读下面短文,在空白处填入适当的内容(不多于3个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
Sometimes it can be great having English as a first language. It’s a language of business,culture and entertainment,and is61(official)the most popular language to learn. However,there are also disadvantages of being raised 62 a native English speaker.
First of all,it can be incredibly difficult to communicate with native speakers of other languages when all they want to do is63(practice)their English.Sometimes they’re just doing it to be helpful. However,it doesn’t exactly help the English speaker in the end. I am currently living with a native French speaker,64 finds it far easier to speak English with me than French. While it’s65(stress)for me to speak English,it certainly isn’t helping my French much.
It might seem that English speakers are very confident and outgoing. However,when it comes to 66(learn)other languages,native English speakers are also very shy and 67(willing)to speak. As a result,they are too afraid to try and learn 68 language,for fear of looking stupid.
On the whole,I’m glad that I can speak English. However,69(be)a native English speaker can also have 70(it)drawbacks,as strange as it might sound.

The school friends are my most important friend. When I go out with them,I go to art exhibitions or museums of art,when I’m with them I enjoy it a lot and I feel well because I can talk to them about anything. The great thing is that the group never cease to expand,so we can always learn new ways of think and new artistic tastes. Fortunately I have never found me in a bad situ- ation,but I’m surely I can count on my friends. I look for their help when I don’t understand in something or when I’m in trouble. I live farther away from my friends so I concentrate much on the study,though friends are anyway important.

When was the last time you had a roll of film developed? For many,our digital devices are datebook,rolodex and camera all in one. But moments captured(捕捉)on film are finding a second life through a project based in Idaho.
In his darkroom,Levi Bettwieser skillfully unspools,cuts and winds a roll of film into a canister(膠片盒). He washes it in several chemicals, waits a few minutes,then takes it out and holds it up to the light.
Bettwieser didn’t take these pictures,and he doesn’t work for a developing lab. Cameras have always been a part of his life. So when he started looking for old cameras in thrift stores,he was surprised to find that some still had film in them.
He tried to develop them anyway———and it worked.All the images from those rolls were nothing more than birthday parties and vacations and things like that. But he realized that those were important mo原ments for people. He searches here and there for unde原veloped film(some from the 1930s)then posts his find原ings on a website. He says his mission is to reunite film owners with their photos———and it seemed to resonate.“People started sending me rolls of film,”he explains.
Somebody may have taken the roll decades ago,and for years the memory remained locked away. Then Bettwieser comes along and not only develops it,but records it in a digital archive. About 10 years ago,Dennis Wingo,who’s worked with NASA,undertook his project to restore pictures of the moon taken by the orbiter in the mid-1960s. He’s aware this isn’t the last time someone like him will have todoajob likethis.
Wingo saved images of the moon that helped the Apollo missions,and Bettwieser is saving photos of bygone Christmases. But Bettwieser thinks both add something to history.“It makes us all realize that we all kind of do the same things and we are similar as human beings,”he says.
32. What made Bettwieser think of posting photos online?
A. He was learning how to process old film in a lab.
B. He collected photos of Christmases in different times.
C. He wanted to exhibit those old cameras for online sale.
D. He thought film-recorded events important to their owners.
33. What does the underlined word“this”in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A. Restoring photos of the moon.
B. Conducting research with NASA.
C. Improving memory for big events.
D. Starting a project to save NASA photos.
34. Bettwieser and Wingo are both devoted to their projects because they _______.
A. are fond of photography
B. are appointed by their superiors
C. aim to preserve photos from the past
D. share the experiences with followers
35. What is the text mainly about?
A. The challenge of keeping the past presents.
B. The value of saving old film in a new form.
C. The projects of solving preservation puzzles.
D. The reunion of film owners with their photos.

The idea started 44 a father-son bonding project.“I had to cut wood with my dad. He just loved doing it,”says Shane. He wanted to 45 along that feeling, so he and the twins spent the summer of 2018 like a family of Paul Bunyans. The 46 was a great wall of wood 47 around their house.
It was too much for the McDaniels to use themselves,and 48 the weather turned cold that November,Shane started thinking of 49 . He posted on Facebook:“If you are 50firewood and cannot afford it,please PM [personal message] me! ... If you know someone who burns wood,and they’re looking at a(n)51 house this holiday season,please help us help them. Please help me and my boys make sure no one goes cold in our hood.”
The 52 was immediate. One man 53 to donate a wood-burning furnace. Others raced over to Shane’s mini-mart(雜货店)with 54 wood for the pile.
A single mom and her four-year-old daughter 55 a wood-burning stove as their only source of heat,so it was a 56 to receive a truckload of firewood from the McDaniels.“To get that much wood 57 me to tears,”she said.“So much stress and 58 is off my shoulders.

Sometimes it can be great having English as a first language. It’s a language of business,culture and entertainment,and is61(official)the most popular language to learn. However,there are also disadvantages of being raised 62 a native English speaker.
First of all,it can be incredibly difficult to communicate with native speakers of other languages when all they want to do is63(practice)their English.Sometimes they’re just doing it to be helpful. However,it doesn’t exactly help the English speaker in the end. I am currently living with a native French speaker,64 finds it far easier to speak English with me than French. While it’s65(stress)for me to speak English,it certainly isn’t helping my French much.
It might seem that English speakers are very confident and outgoing. However,when it comes to 66(learn)other languages,native English speakers are also very shy and 67(willing)to speak. As a result,they are too afraid to try and learn 68 language,for fear of looking stupid.
On the whole,I’m glad that I can speak English. However,69(be)a native English speaker can also have 70(it)drawbacks,as strange as it might sound.

The school friends are my most important friend. When I go out with them,I go to art exhibitions or museums of art,when I’m with them I enjoy it a lot and I feel well because I can talk to them about anything. The great thing is that the group never cease to expand,so we can always learn new ways of think and new artistic tastes. Fortunately I have never found me in a bad situ- ation,but I’m surely I can count on my friends. I look for their help when I don’t understand in something or when I’m in trouble. I live farther away from my friends so I concentrate much on the study,though friends are anyway important.
