As the effects of climate change become more disastrous, well-known research institutions and government agencies are focusing new money and attention on an idea: artificially cooling the planet, in the hopes of buying humanity more time to cut greenhouse gas emissions.
That strategy, called solar climate intervention (干预) or solar geoengineering, involves reflecting more of the sun’s energy back into space — abruptly reducing global temperatures in a way that imitates the effects of ash clouds flowing out from the volcanic eruptions. The idea has been considered as a dangerous and fancied solution, one that would encourage people to keep burning fossil fuels while exposing the planet to unexpected and potentially threatening side effects, producing more destructive hurricanes, wildfires floods and other disasters.
But. as global warming continues, producing more destructive hurricanes, wildfires floods and other disasters, some researchers and policy experts say that concerns about geoengineering should be outweighed by the imperative to better understand it, in case the consequence of climate change become so terrible that the world can’t wait for better solutions.
One way to cool the earth is by injecting aerosols (气溶胶) into the upper layer of the atmosphere. where those particles reflect sunlight away from the earth. That process works, according to Douglas MacMartin, a researcher at Cornell University.
“We know with 100% certainty that we can cool the planet,” he said in an interview. What’s still unclear, he added, is what happens next. Temperature, MacMartin said, is an indicator for a lot of climate effects. “What does it do to the strength of hurricanes?” he asked, “What does it do to agriculture production? What does it do to the risk of forest fires?”
Another institution funded by the National Science Foundation will analyze hundreds of simulations of aerosol injection, testing the effects on weather extremes around the world. One goal of the research is to look for a sweet spot: the amount of artificial cooling that can reduce extreme weather events without causing broader changes in regional rainfall patterns or similar impacts.
28. Why do researchers and government agencies work on cooling the earth?A. To prevent natural disasters.B. To win more time to reduce gas emissions.
C. To imitate volcanic eruptions.D. To encourage more people to bur fossil fuels.
29. What are researchers worried about in terms of global warming?A. More volcanoes will throw out.
B. More solar energy will go into space.
C. More disasters will endanger the future of the world.D. People will keep burning fossil fuels to keep warm.
30. What can be inferred from Douglas’ words in an interview?A. He thinks more research remains to be done.
B. He is optimistic about the effect of cooling the earth.
C. He is concerned about the reduction in agriculture production.D. He disapproves of the practice of solar climate intervention.
31. What does the underlined words “sweet spot” in the last paragraph mean?A. The rainfall pattern of a region.B. The modest drop in temperature.
C. The number of extreme weather events.D. The injection amount of aerosol.
D
When romantic partners argue over things like finances, jealousy, or other interpersonal
issues, they tend to employ their current feelings as fuel for a heated argument. But thinking about the future helps overcome relationship conflicts, according to a University of Waterloo study just published online in Social Psychological and Personality Science. Alex Huynh, a doctoral
candidate in psychology is the lead author of the study, which he published with Igor Grossmann from the University of Waterloo, and Daniel Yang from Yale University.
Previous research has shown that third-perspective reasoning can be a positive strategy for settlement of interpersonal struggles. Huynh and his team investigated whether similar benefit can be induced by simply thinking about the future. Study participants were instructed to reflect on a recent conflict with a romantic partner or a close friend. One group of participants were then asked to describe how they would feel about the conflict one year in the future, while another group was asked to describe how they feel in the present.
The team examined participants' written responses through a text-analysis program for their use of pronouns-such as I, me, she, he. These choices of pronouns were used to capture participants' focus on the feelings and behaviour of those involved in the conflict. Written
responses were also examined for forgiveness and reinterpreting the conflict more positively, both of which implied the participants' use of reasoning strategies.
The researchers found that envisioning(展望)future relationship affected both participants' focus on their feelings and their reasoning strategies. As a result, participants reported more positivity about their relationship altogether, especially when study participants extended their thinking about the relationship a year into the future.
“Our study demonstrates that adopting a future-oriented perspective in the context of a
relationship conflict-reflecting on how one might feel a year from now-may be a valuable coping tool for one's psychological happiness and relationship well-being,” said Huynh. 32. What do romantic partners do in face of most disagreements? A. They concentrate on their present feelings. B. They look forward to a fierce conflict. C. They lose faith in their future. D. They care more about financial problems.
33. What does the underlined word “induced” in paragraph 2 most probably mean? A. Explained. B. Reduced. C. Caused. D. Improved. 34. What can we learn from the study?
A. The reasoning strategies in participants' written responses were well worthy of note.
B. Study participants described their recent relationship with their romance partners or friends. C. A text-analysis program was employed to examine participants' use of negative words. D. All the study participants described how they felt both in the present and in the future. 35. What can be the best title of the text?
A.Your Current Feelings Are the Real Cause of Your Heated Arguments! B. Beneficial Reasoning Is a positive Strategy for Reconciliation!C. You Have a Year to Solve Your Interpersonal Problems!
D. Thinking About Future Is Essential for Relationship Maintenance!第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)

The Principal and the Popcorn Popper
Spring was approaching. Principal (校长)Peters was wandering in the empty part of the huge school yard when the students request flashed through his mind again. It couldn't be better to eat the cabbages, carrots, or eggplants planted by themselves. But how to raise money for seeds and tools?
The topic came up at the teachers' meeting. Teachers suggested various means of collecting money with enthusiasm; one teacher suggested, “We have a popcorn popper (爆米花机)in the teachers' lounge(休息室).How about kids making popcorn to sell?”
When the popcorn proposal reached the students, they jumped with joy. Agreement was reached -every Thursday, in their labor course, by selling popcorn for 25 cents a bag, they could enjoy a snack while raising money to buy seeds and tools for their garden.
Soon the first Thursday came. Principal Peters got to his office as usual just right next to the teachers' lounge. Hearing popping sound, he smiled, for it meant the promise of the potential garden. But it was REALLY loud. He wrapped a scarf around his head to block his ears. When the first Thursday was over, he breathed a sigh of relief. But the next Thursday, popping sound happened again. This time, he had brought earplugs. The day, it seemed, would last forever. But for the kids' garden dream, he put up with it willingly.
The following Thursdays witnessed Principal Peters attempting to pile gym mats against his office walls and asking the fifth grade to practice for their concert in the hallway outside his office. The \"unbearable\" popping sound seemed to have taken root in his head! But for the kids' vegetable garden dream, he put up with it willingly.
On the 11th Thursday, he went to the teachers' lounge again to see how much money was still
needed. Seeing the Principal coming with a hard-hidden painful expression, the students responded cheerfully, “Only with 41 dollars our garden dream will come true.” Hearing this, Principal Peters left without saying anything.注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

The drill is of great significance, which ensures we students know the right steps to take in case a fire breaks out in a building. Do come and take part in the drill. Yours, Li
