16、magazine. C. An animal poster. D. A biology book. BThe Amazon rainforest is nearing a tipping point（临界点）, according to researchers from the University of Exeter, UK. Previous studies have warned that the worlds largest rainforest, which acts as the lung of the Earth, is approaching a critical thresh
17、old（限度）. But most past research has depended on projections using models, not real-world observations. Now, Tim Lenton and his colleagues have used two sets of satellite data covering between 1996 and 2016 to measure the greenness of the Amazon over time, watching for how it recovered after impacts
18、such as drought and fires. They found that since the early 2000s, 76 per cent of the region had become less resilient. Importantly, says Lenton, the signal of this growing trouble was picked up without immediately obvious changes such as huge drops in the forests biomass（生物量）or tree cover. “Why do w
19、e care about it? Its worth reminding ourselves that if it gets to that tipping point and we lose the Amazon rainforest then we get a significant feedback to global climate change,” says Lenton. He says a change into savannah（稀树草原）would unlock about 90 billion tons of carbon dioxide stored in the tre
20、es and soil. Lenton says he cannot put an exact date on how far off the rainforests tipping point might be, but he expects it to be a process that would take in a few years. Other Amazon experts say the research adds to a growing body of evidence（证据）that the rainforest is approaching a tipping point
21、. The changes arent the same throughout the rainforest. The south-eastern part of the Amazon has already changed to the point at which it is now a carbon emitter（释放者）rather than a carbon sink. Matt Finer at the Amazon Conservation non-profit organization says the research could help decide which rem
22、aining parts of the forest to prioritize（优先）for protection. “The western and north-east Amazon appear the most resilient, showing the need to protect these areas now and in the future from any more damages,” he says. 24. How does Lenton conduct his research?A. By using previous models. B. By collect
23、ing data from the locals. C. By observing drought and fires. D. By using data from satellites. 25. What can we learn about the changes in the forest?A. They are not very noticeable at present. B. They have little effect on climate. C. People neednt worry about them. D. People have prepared for them.
24、 26. What does the underlined word “resilient” in the 4 paragraph mean?A. able to produce carbon. B. able to recover C. easy to extinct D. easy to be observed27. What does the author intend to do with the last paragraph? A. To list the threats facing the rainforest. B. To show the differences of the
25、 changes. C. To list the results of the research. D. To show the significance of the research. CThe development of the mRNA vaccine（疫苗）a breakthrough in its field, instructing cells（细胞）to produce their own protection without the risk of giving someone the viruswas fast and effective, made possible t
26、hrough rapid genome sequencing（基因组测序）. So how does it work? Once mRNA is injected（注l），the vaccine attaches to a cell，instructing it to produce a harmless copy of the spike proteinthe significant marker of the coronavirus, which allows COVID-19 to inject itself into human cellscausing an immune respo
27、nse. Because mRNA does not enter the cell nucleus（细胞核）, it does not change human DNA. Different from the time it takes to produce traditional vaccines，which are time-wasting and expensive, mRNA can be produced almost instantly. Its been a “game changer,” says Tom Kenyon, a former director of global
28、health at the U. S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “These are vaccines that give very strong immunity, which we never had in previous attempts.” Besides, its potential to treat cancer, which it can do by causing the immune system to target cancer cells, is especially exciting. Most trad
29、itional immune treatment for cancer uses “passive immunity,” where a drug doesnt always last long. But active immunity, achieved with mRNA, means the body can remember how to create the response on its own. “Thats what gives everybody in the public health community hope,” Kenyon says. The biggest dr
30、awback is production ability. Many parts of the world would need help setting up the ability to produce these vaccines. “The mRNA story is by far the greatest story of this pandemic（流行病）, and its an amazing scientific achievement, but we havent translated that yet into programmatic results, and that
31、s what matters,” Kenyon said. 28. Which of the following can describe this new mRNA vaccine? A. Rapid and risky. B. Passive and efficient.C. Effective and long-lasting. D. Harmless and expensive. 29. It can be learned from the passage that _.A. mRNA can cause a problem to humans DNA B. realizing mas
32、s-production in the mRNA vaccine is the key C. mRNA can work very well without entering human bodies D. the mRNA vaccine has been used in cancer treatment30. Which of the following about the vaccine are mentioned in this passage?a. experiment data b. working process c. history and origind. potential
33、 application e. current limitation f. peoples doubts A. acf B. bde C. bdf D. ade31. What is Tom Kenyon attitude towards the vaccine?A. Negative. B. Supportive. C. Unclear. D. Worried. DAs the family of 16 Asian elephants started moving north, no one knew where they were heading, or why. Elephants so
34、metimes go beyond their nature reserves, but they always return. Not this time. Over the course of 16 months, they crop-attacked and road-tripped 300 miles north to Kunming. They were causing a great deal of economic loss, and there was the ever-present risk of an elephant attacking a curious onlook
35、er. The simple answer would be to tranquilize（使镇定）the giant mammals and transport them back to the reserve. But that would be risky for this group, especially the three young elephants. Instead, officials launched an emergency task force to keep everyone，elephants and humans alike，safe. Tons of pine
36、apples and bananas were used to attract them away from towns. Electric walls and road barriers（障碍物）drove them toward safer routes. These measures involved tens of thousands of people at a cost equal to hundreds of thousands of dollars. In a year torn by climate change, struggle, and COVID-19, some m
37、ight be doubtful about this practice. They might say the same about searching for an undiscovered species of frog on never before climbed mountains，or building new museums, or protecting the Great Wall. But reserving our natural and human heritage（遗产）is about encouraging good in the world. We need w
38、ildlife and ancient heritage, just as we need health and peace. Theyre the background against which our lives take place, and they help us make sense of our own stories. They provide the context for our existence. Theyre our past, present, and future. Its not a zero-sum game, anyway. We can protect
39、elephants and develop vaccines at the same time. The year 2021 is proof of that. Although its still not clear why the elephants left in the first place, one theory is that as their numbers in Yunnan Province have increased, the animals have needed to expand their space. That could be considered good
40、 news for this endangered species. But the story of the elephants long walk proves something else too: that the world we created and the world nature created are certainly connected, for better or for worse. 32. What might be the possible factor for the elephants heading north?A. Seeking larger home
41、land. B. Destroyed and polluted living area. C. Searching for more food. D. The risk of being attacked by human. 33. The officers cant just tranquilize and transport elephants back home mainly because _.A. it is time-wasting B. it requires skilled workforceC. it puts elephants at risk D. it involves
42、 hundreds of thousands of dollars34. In paragraph 5, the example of frogs is used to illustrate some peoples idea that _.A. keeping elephants safe is not as valuable as protecting human heritagesB. searching for undiscovered frogs is not as important as keeping elephants safeC. it is still under dis
43、cussion whether we should search for undiscovered frogsD. it is wasteful to spend time and energy reserving natural and human heritages35. What is the best title of this passage?A.

Activists and campaigners everywhere continue to be frustrated（使. 沮丧）by the lack of action from world leaders and corporations. 37 To help make tackling climate change our top priority in 2022, here are some unique ways we can help defend the planet this yearand we can start right now! 1.

46、pport Sustainable（可持续的）FashionThe fashion industry is one of the biggest contributors to pollution, making up 20% of global industrial water pollution, as well as being a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions（排放）according to the World Economic Forum, it produces 10% of all humanitys carbon e
47、missions, as well as being the second-largest user of the worlds water supply. Sustainable fashion, meanwhile, is clothing that is made from environmentally-friendly materials. 38 Supporting sustainable fashion can seem like the more costly option, but the environmental cost of fast fashion is vast-
48、and there are lots of affordable ways to support sustainable fashion. 2. Make an Event Out of Planting TreesA fully-grown tree absorbs 48 pounds of carbon dioxide per year. Trees contribute much to cleaning the air. 39 Whether its putting “plant a tree” on your wish list for 2022, or planting trees
49、for your birthday celebration, go for it. Get your friends and family involved; it will be fun. Normalizing planting trees as part of our human activity is a great way to fight climate change. 3. Follow a More Plant-Based DietGoing plant-based is a fashion that has really picked up over the last few
50、 years, and one of the simplest ways you can help deal with climate change this year is by following a more plant-based diet, or making plant-based choices. Research shows that a global shift to a more plant-based diet could reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases by 70% by 2050. 40 A. They are als

Up to the present time, astronomers have 43 more than 370 “exoplanets”planets orbiting（绕.运动）outer space stars（恒星）other than our sun.
