After being attacked by Hurricane Ida’s 150 mph winds and torrential rains,hundreds of thousands of Gulf Coast residents were left without power and fresh water this week as a 100-degree heat wave settled over the region.Ida smashed into Louisiana as a Category 4 hurricane,ripping off roofs,knocking out transmission lines,flooding roads,and reducing some brick buildings in downtown New Orleans to rubble.At least eight people died in the storm and the toll is expected to rise as emergency workers search wrecked homes and businesses.
One of the most powerful hurricanes to ever hit the U.S.mainland,Ida brought a 5-to 12-foot storm surge that covered low-lying communities in southeastern Louisiana.Grand Isle is now “uninhabitable,” said Parish President Cynthia Lee Sheng,with 3 feet of sand covering the entire barrier island and 40 percent of the buildings completely destroyed.
The storm caused a citywide blackout in New Orleans,but a Hurricane Katrina-level disaster was avoided there,thanks in part to the $14.5 billion spent on new levees,seawalls,and pumps after the 2005 storm.Experts are warning that Ida could worsen the Covid crisis in the Gulf Coast,as residents crowd together in homes and emergency shelters without immediate access to testing or medical care.ICUs in Louisiana,Mississippi,and Alabama hospitals were already near capacity before the storm hit.Nearly 1 million people are still without power across Louisiana,and authorities warned it could be weeks before electricity is restored.“If you have already evacuated,” said Gov.John Bel Edwands,“do not return here.”
24.Which of the following best describes Hurricane Ida
A.Mild. B.Destructive. C.Uncontrollable. D.Impressive.
25.What do the underlined words “the toll” mean in paragraph 1
A.The death number. B.The heat wave.
C.The wind speed. D.The citywide blackout.
26.What is one of the reasons for Grand Isle to be uninhabitable
A.The entire island is covered with sand.
B.It is one of the low-lying communities.
C.The residents there can’t wait to leave.
D.Over half of its buildings were in ruins.
27.What can be inferred about the attitude of Gov.John Bel Edwards towards the prospect of Louisiana
A.Ambitious. B.Undoubted. C.Indifferent. D.Unconfident.
C
By the end of the century,if not sooner,the world’s oceans will be bluer and greener thanks to a warming climate,according to a new study.
At the heart of the phenomenon lie tiny marine microorganisms(海洋微生物)called phytoplankton.Because of the way light reflects off the organisms,these phytoplankton create colourful patterns at the ocean surface.Ocean colour varies from green to blue,depending on the type and concentration of phytoplankton.Climate change will fuel the growth of phytoplankton in some areas,while reducing it in other spots,leading to changes in the ocean’s appearance.
Phytoplankton live at the ocean surface,where they pull carbon dioxide into the ocean while giving off oxygen.When these organisms die,they bury carbon in the deep ocean,an important process that helps to regulate the global climate.But phytoplankton are vulnerable to the ocean’s warming trend.Warming changes key characteristics of the ocean and can affect phytoplankton growth,since they need not only sunlight and carbon dioxide to grow,but also nutrients.
Stephanie Dutkiewicz,a scientist in MIT’s Center for Global Change Science,built a climate model that projects changes to the oceans throughout the century.In a world that warms up by 3℃,it found that multiple changes to the colour of the oceans would occur.The model projects that currently blue areas with little phytoplankton could become even bluer.But in some waters,such as those of the Arctic,warming will make conditions riper for phytoplankton,and these areas will turn greener.“Not only are the quantities of phytoplankton in the ocean changing,” she said,“but the type of phytoplankton is changing.”
28.What are the first two paragraphs mainly about
A.The various patterns at the ocean surface.
B.The cause of the changes in ocean colour.
C.The way light reflects off marine organisms.
D.The efforts to fuel the growth of phytoplankton.
29.What does the underlined word “vulnerable” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A.Sensitive. B.Beneficial. C.Significant. D.Unnoticeable.
30.What can we learn from the passage
A.Phytoplankton play a declining role in the marine ecosystem.
B.Dutkiewicz’s model aims to project phytoplankton changes.
C.Phytoplankton have been used to control global climate.
D.Oceans with more phytoplankton may appear greener.
31.What is the main purpose of the passage
A.To assess the consequences of ocean colour changes.
B.To analyse the composition of the ocean food chain.
C.To explain the effects of climate change on oceans.
D.To introduce a new method to study phytoplankton.
D
The Suez Canal(苏伊士运河),which connects the Mediterranean Sea(地中海) and the Red Sea,opened in 1869.It helps speed world trade between the East and the West.But the man-made waterway has also helped speed the rise of other things,such as non-native species,which have damaged the Mediterranean’s environment and caused native species to disappear.
The number of non-native species has risen since the Suez Canal was widened in 2015.The “New Suez Canal” has raised concerns in many Mediterranean countries.
Bella Galil is an Israeli biologist who has studied the Mediterranean for over 30 years.She noted that the widening and deepening of the Suez Canal had created a “moving aquarium” of species.These species could make coastal waters almost unusable for human beings.Galil believes the number of invasive species has reached 400,which is twice the number from 30 years ago.
Scientists in Mediterranean countries from Turkey,Tunisia to Lebanon share the same concern.But some Egyptians don’t consider the environmental concerns as serious.They said only 5% of the invaders are a problem and that invasive species can be helpful by “replacing species that are overfished”.They don’t think that the widening of the canal is responsible for the increase in invasive species;they say the increase was caused by rising water temperatures and wastewater from ships.
The Suez Canal Authority runs the canal.Canal officials say they are closely watching the movements of sea species.They say they are requiring ships to take action to avoid carrying species from one side of the canal to the other.And they are trying to keep salt levels high in the Bitter Lakes to block invasive species out.Galil,however,questions whether these will be enough to protect the native species.“One day we will wake up to a complete and irreversible(不可逆的)change and know that there was something we could have done about it,if only it had been done on time,” she said.
32.What does the first paragraph show
A.Seeing is believing. B.Man will conquer nature.
C.Let nature take its course. D.Every coin has two sides.
33.What does Galil say about the “New Suez Canal”
A.Its environment is worsening.
B.It connects Mediterranean countries.
C.It is widened to include more species.
D.It is to protect endangered native species.
34.What do some Egyptians disagree on
A.The results of overfishing.
B.The decrease of native species.
C.The cause of the increase in invasive species.
D.The meaning of the widening of the Suez Canal.
35.What is Galil’s attitude to the Suez Canal Authority’s action
A.Uninterested. B.Doubtful. C.Supporting. D.Understanding.

One morning,my family and I woke up and went to eat breakfast—until we heard barking and scratching at the door.When my mom opened the door,we saw a puppy.We looked around to see if we saw its owner,but there was no one.We took it inside and fed it.
Regardless of how badly I wanted to keep the puppy,we decided to look for the owner.We looked all day,but we failed.We talked about whether we should keep looking or if we should look the next day.We all agreed to look for its owner the next day.
So,the next day my family and I looked for the dog’s owner.It was so hard looking for its owner.We were looking for flyers(传单)that involved the puppy,but no luck.We wouldn’t have quit because it’s a puppy.
“We won’t stop looking,” my mom and dad said.We were going to take care of the puppy until we found its owner.
When we woke up in the morning,we went to a pet shop to buy the puppy some dog food.After that we went back home to feed the puppy the dog food that we had just bought.After we fed the puppy,we gave it a nice bath.It was so dirty that the fur was black and sticky,but after we gave it a bath,it turned white.And I noticed there was a collar on him,which said “Coby”.After we gave him a bath,we went to look for the puppy’s owner,but my mom stayed at home,and it was only my dad and me this time.
We continued looking more and more until we found flyers.We looked at it.
It said,“Lost Dog:Please Help if Found.” Then we looked at the picture;it looked exactly like Coby.We were all happy we found a flyer that was for Cody.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
