16、who made me a poet.When I was one, my family moved into a tiny apartment off 20th Street in Birmingham. I wrote my first poem, surrounded by toys. I was 7 or 8 and the poem was for my best friend who had moved away. I was angry with him for being willing to leave me, and I got mean. I figured his le
17、aving would be easier to face if I pushed him away first. But as soon as the moving track pulled away, I realized how foolish Id been.So I wrote him a poem to apologize. The poem was terrible, of course, but with it, a lifelong love affair begannot with the boy who moved away, but with the written w
18、ord.I left Birmingham after I grew up to learn how to tell true stories in prose. After college in Alabama and graduate school in Berkeley, California, I moved to Kentucky to be a newspaper reporter. My skill at writing personal essays helped me land my own column and the chance to be included in a
19、collection of essays published by Seal Press. For so many years, I had never quit the exploration of literature.Then I came home.In her book Writing Down the Bones, Natalie Goldberg writes, It is very important to go home if you want your work to be whole.You must claim where you come from and look

24、ny believe recycling will solve the problem, its actually the opposite. In 2013,254 million tons of trash was produced in the U.S. alone, and only around 30% was recycled. This means the rest ended up in a landfill and will stay there for up to 1000 years.Recently, China has stopped importing trash
25、from all over the world. Before this, over 30% of the worlds waste would end up in China, causing a popular belief that Asian countries are those responsible for creating the majority of the waste in the world. Now, Asian countries are looking for new ideas to avoid the plastic. One of those ideas w
26、as a new, eco-friendly way to pack their goods by avoiding plastic packaging.One of Perfect Homes Chiangmais team members, Sam, noticed a creative way to reduce plastic that a supermarket called Rimping Supermarket was using and decided to capture their shelves with his phone. Little did he know tha
27、t people all around the world would absolutely love this idea. “I just stepped in to get a few items while we were waiting to sign some contracts with our lawyer, who was delayed. I noticed the vegetables wrapped in banana leaves and simply liked the idea. So I took a few pictures and posted them on
28、line,” he said. With more than 3.5million views and over 17 thousand shares, the idea becomes something people can encourage more supermarkets to implement.Some have noticed that not everything on the shelves is completely plastic-free. Many products come to the supermarkets pre-packaged and many co
29、mpanies are interested in wrapping their products in plastic since it is the cheapest and the easiest option. Its now up to the shoppers to show the supermarket which they prefer. If everyone opts for the banana leaf packaging, they will probably stop storing the items in plastic.8. What can we lear
30、n from the first two paragraphs?A. The majority of the trash produced in the U.S. was recycled.B. Asian countries are to blame for creating most of the worlds waste.C. Nearly one third of the worlds waste ended up in China until recently.D. All of the U.S. trash will end up in a landfill and stay th

Indifferent.DOn Sept. 21, 2020, scientists announced that Arctic sea ice has already lost two-thirds of its amount over the past four decades. It is part of a shocking trend in polar heatin
33、g that is already seeing impacts across the globe.Throughout the spring and summer, Arctic sea ice melted away faster than it usually does, causing the largest loss of Arctic sea ice cover since satellite records began in the 1970s. This years minimum was reached on September 15, at 3.74 million m c
34、ompared with the previous low4.17 million mset in 2007.Whats causing this loss of sea ice? The short answer is our heating climate. A recent study showed that the influence of heat has more than doubled over the past decade or so, which means the melting of nearly a meter thickness of sea ice each y
35、ear.The biggest effects of the loss of Arctic sea ice, of course, will be felt locally: from the more possible snowfall to more storms with stronger winds. These will also cause waves as well as rising temperatures. In fact, the increased temperatures transformed northern forests into tinderboxes re
36、ady to burn. That melt also means polar bears are losing critical habitat and Inuit hunters are losing ice to preserve their traditions and culture.On a larger scale, the greatest impact may be the changes in the Arctic s ability io function as a cooling system for the global ocean. A warmer Arctic
37、will affect the temperature differences between the northern polar region and areas further south. That may, in turn, create stronger heat waves, droughts, floods and potential impacts on farming. And all of us will be more exposed to the disastrous effects of climate breakdown.We need to hit the re
38、set button right now on how we look after each other and Arctic sea ice to help our planet cope with the climate breakdown.12. What do the figures in Paragraph 2 show us?A. The ways of sea ice melting.B. The reasons for sea ice melting.C. The big fall in the amount of sea ice.D. The great damage of
39、sea ice melting.13. What may happen due to the Arctic sea ice loss?A. The reduction of snowfall.B. The global climate emergency.C. The direct outbreak of forest fires.D. The disappearance of Inuit hunters.14. What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. Stressing the importance of oceans.B. Warning pe
40、ople of the possible risks.C. Putting forward some useful measures.D. Appealing to the public to protect Arctic sea ice.15. Which can be the best title for the text?A. The earth is facing a catastrophe.B. Climate breakdown is on the way.C. Global heating sees Arctic sea ice loss.D. Arctic sea ice is

42、ating body temperature to prevent flu. Whats more, the muscles of the whole body can be exercised during running and therefore they would be strong and flexible. All of these are helpful to keep fit. It is worth recommending to everyone._17_Two reasons are low temperatures and bitter winds. Yet many
43、 runners might find it easier than running in hot weather. That could be because lower temperatures reduce stress on the body. When you run in cold weather, your heart rate and the bodys dehydration levels are lower than those in warmer conditions._18_This information comes from John Brewer, who is
44、a professor of applied sport science at St. Marys. For this study, he and other researchers put a group of people into a room they called an environmental chamber._19_The test subjects were asked to run 10, 000 meters under both conditions. Brewer says he and his team recorded biological measurement
45、s of the runners. They found that the runners lost water by around 30.38% more in those hotter conditions.Several websites note that the most important thing for people who run in cold conditions is to wear the right clothing._20_Keeping as dry as possible is the most important when exercising in lo

Many people say running in winter can be difficult.C. Many feel nervous when running in the cold weather.D. The b
47、ody needs less water on a cold day than in warm weather.E. Wear more than one layer of clothing to keep sweat away from your skin.F.
