8、bout how climate change is affecting the planet, or new plans to battle its effects. But the concept itself isnt new at all in fact, scientists have been exploring questions about climate change for almost 200 years.The idea of “greenhouse gases” goes back to 1824, when Joseph Fourier wondered what
9、was regulating the earths temperature. Fourier concluded that the atmosphere must be responsible for containing the heat absorbed from the sun and described it as a box with a glass lid: As light shines through the glass, the inside gets warmer as the lid traps the heat. As Fouriers ideas spread, it
10、 came to be called “the greenhouse effect”.Scientists continued to study the greenhouse effect. Not until a Swedish chemist named Svante Arrhenius came along, did scientists understand how global warming actually works. After years of work, Arrhenius determined that the level of carbon dioxide in th
11、e atmosphere did in fact have a direct effect on global temperatures.Arrhenius found that CO2, and other gases trap radiation, which warms the atmosphere. Arrhenius was the first to suspect that burning coal could contribute to the greenhouse effect. But Arrhenius welcomed the warming effect on the
12、planet. At a lecture later that year, Arrhenius noted that creatures of a warmer earth “might live under a milder sky and in less barren surroundings”.While Arrhenius findings won him the 1903 Nobel Prize in chemistry, scientists kept debating whether the greenhouse effect was increasing until 1950,
13、 when researchers finally began to find strong data supporting it. By the end of the 1950s, American scientists had been sounding the alarm on the long-term consequences of climate change. Climate change research has come a long way since Fourier first described the greenhouse effect still, maybe Ar
14、rhenius should have been more careful of what he wished for.24. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. The climate change.B. The greenhouse effect. C. The atmosphere.D. The heat from the sun.25. When did the scientists first find evidence for the bad effect of global warming?

Causes of climate change.B. Effects of greenhouse gases. C. Findings about global warming.D. Exploration
16、s on climate change.COne of the easiest ways to stop the spread of disease is to simply wash your hands. Twenty seconds of handwashing with soap and water can reduce illnesses and save lives. But, many people, especially children, do not have good handwashing habits. One problem is that children do
17、not wash their hands often enough or long enough. Children may think that it is a tiresome thing to do.To help handle this problem, two businesswomen from India created a product to turn handwashing into a fun activity. Amanat Anand and Shubham Issar created a tool called SoaPen, aimed at teaching k
18、ids good handwashing habits and encouraging kids to wash their hands with soap appropriately and regularly. Its such a simple habit to do,but the fact is that people arent doing it, and its resulting in actual deaths which is shocking. So, we decided to come up with a fun method, said Issar. As the
19、name suggests, SoaPen is a pen made out of soap. The children draw on their hands with the soap pen and then wash the drawing off. If they dont spend enough time washing it off, the colors remain on the childrens hands. Issar said it makes sure that children take enough time to wash their hands. Thi
20、s may be especially helpful in a classroom. Often a teacher does not have the time to make each child wash his hands properly. Kids actually wash their hands for the proper amount of time because theyve drawing on their hands. To obliterate the drawing, they actually wash their hands instead of just
21、 going under water and, you know, a one-second wash and off.Good news is that the school children in Mumbai, India, will soon most likely wash their hands alter handling a pet. Issar and Anand stated that SoaPen to be created every where will help promote good habits through handwashing in the city
22、across the globe.28. Why does SoaPen come into existence? A.To cure kids of some kinds of diseases. B.To teach kids the importance of soap. C.To help kids wash their hands correctly. D.To make money from children consumers.29. Which of the following does Issar agree with? A.Handwashing is anything b
23、ut little. B.SoaPen is designed for classrooms. C.Some teachers ignore kids health in school. D.Kids dont know the right way of handwashing.30. What does obliterate underlined in paragraph 5 mean? A.Show.B.Reserve.C.Learn.D.Remove.31. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A.SoaPen has become po
24、pular worldwide. B.The inventors think SoaPen has a bright future. C.SoaPen has been applied in Mumbai schools. D.Kids health should be paid more attention to.DSparrow is a fast-food chain with 200 restaurants. Some years ago, the group to which Sparrow belonged was taken over by another company. Al
25、though Sparrow showed no sign of declining, the chain was generally in an unhealthy state. With more and more fast-food concepts reaching the market, the Sparrow menu had to struggle for attention. And to make matters worse, its new owner had no plans to give it the funds it required. Sparrow failed
26、 to grow for another two years. Until a new CEO, Carl Pearson, decided to build up its market share. He did a survey, which showed that consumers who already used Sparrow restaurants were extremely positive about the chain, while customers of other fast-food chains were unwilling to turn away from t
27、hem. Sparrow had to develop a new promotional campaign. Pearson faced a battle over the future of the Sparrow brand. The chains owner now favored rebranding Sparrow as Marcys restaurants. Pearson resisted, arguing for an advertising campaign designed to convince customers that visits to Sparrow rest
28、aurants were fun. Such an attempt to establish a positive relationship between a company and the general public was unusual for that time. Pearson strongly believed that numbers were the key to success, rather than customers spending power. Finally, the owner accepted his idea. The campaign itself c
29、hanged the traditional advertising style of the fast-food industry. The TV ads of Sparrow focused on entertainment and featured original songs performed by a variety of stars. Instead of showing the superiority of a specific product, the intention was to put Sparrow in the hearts of potential custom
30、ers. Pearson also made other decisions which he believed would contribute to the new Sparrow image. For example, he offered to lower the rent of any restaurants which achieved a certain increase in their turnover (营业额) .These efforts paid off, and Sparrow soon became one of the most successful fast-
31、food chains in the regions where it operated. 32. Which was one of the problems Sparrow faced before Pearson became CEO? A. The number of its customers was declining. B. Its customers found the food unhealthy. C. It was in need of financial support. D. Most of its restaurants were closed. 33. For wh
32、at purpose did Pearson start the advertising campaign? A. To build a good relationship with the public.B. To stress the unusual tradition of Sparrow. C. To learn about customers spending power. D. To meet the challenge from Marcys restaurants. 34. What do you know about the TV ads of Sparrow? A. The
33、y changed peoples views on pop stars. B. They amused the public with original songs. C. They focused on the superiority of its products. D. They influenced the eating habits of the audience. 35. What was Pearsons achievement as a CEO? A. He managed to pay off Sparrows debts. B. He made Sparrow much
34、more competitive. C. He helped Sparrow take over a company. D. He improved the welfare of Sparrow employees. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。People may have some unclear memories of their childhood, but almost everyone will remember the beautiful princess and the cruel
35、 queen in “Snow White”，the innocent little girl and the greedy big gray wolf in “Little Red Riding Hood”. 36 For example, “True love can overcome anything”，and “Even a frog can turn into a prince”. However, at a certain age, we start to learn new things about life, particularly that love doesnt alwa
36、ys win, and that a frog is just a frog. 37 Just look at animated films like “The Lion King” and “Frozen”，which have millions of fans young and old. And this years Lucerne Festival in Switzerland-a classical music festival - will also feature the themes of “Childhood” and “Fairy tales”. “Fairy tales
37、endure because they are the stories of our lives in their most stripped down form,” wrote US author Laura Packer. “They are stories of love and loss, desire and death, riches and ruin.” 38 But if children only see just one side of reality, adults usually see the other. For example, in the movie “Mal
38、eficent”，were told the tale of Sleeping Beauty from the perspective of the evil queen. 39 Instead, she suffers great losses growing up, leading to the creation of her “evil” side. And in US author James Finn Gamers book “Politically Correct Bedtime Stories”，he tells the classic story of “Little Red
39、Riding Hood”, but with a modem touch. 40 They may usually start with “Once upon a time”, but as we grow older, we learn that every story doesnt always need a “happily ever after” to be a good one.A.
