The programs mission is to provide all the training necessary to obtain a private pilots license (PPL) for students in between their junior and senior year of high school free of c

18、harge. After completing a lengthy application and her subsequent acceptance into the program, Kate began her training last spring. Normally, recipients of the scholarship would attend ground school in person where they learn the fundamentals of flying. Due to the pandemic (大流行病), however, Kate spent

19、 hours each weekend studying online lessons in her room whenever she got a break from homework. Once summer came around, Kate and three peers put in two straight weeks of ground school, reviewing fight training from nine to five every day. It was the toughest part of the program, Kate said.

26、5,450 square kilometres have burned across California in the past two weeks, as firefighters continue to battle some of the states worst wildfires. Meanwhile, the southern states of the US have experienced their first devastating hurricane this year.The California fires include some that rank among

27、the largest ever seen in the state. They followed a heatwave that caused blackouts, with Death Valley National Park hitting 54.4 in August, the highest temperature ever recorded on Earth.“Exceptionally hot weather over the past two weeks certainly played an important role in drying out vegetation to

28、 this extreme degree,” says Daniel Swain at the University of California, Los Angeles. But the drying of fuel also started earlier, he notes. Last winter was dry in north California, and spring brought heatwaves.There are several unusual aspects to the current fires. They expanded dramatically in th

29、e absence of the usual driver for large and fast-moving fires in the state: powerful, dry winds. “That makes the enormous area burned in such a short time all the more astonishing, since theyre essentially spreading on account of their own intensity,” says Swain.The ignition (点火) of fires by dry lig

30、htning is also rare for the region, says Stephen Pyne at Arizona State University. He says this is Californias fourth major fire year in a row, when historically the state has seen between seven and 12 years between big fire seasons.In the Gulf of Mexico, it is severe hurricanes that are the problem

31、. Hurricane Laura made landfall in the US on Thursday 27 August amid official warnings of an “unsurvivable” storm surge (风暴潮), widespread flooding and catastrophic wind damage.The storm is the first of four hurricanes in the Atlantic this year. About four-fifths of oil and gas production in the Gulf

32、 of Mexico has been shut down. The energy heartland of the south-western US was previously battered by Hurricane Harvey in 2017. Researchers later found that the heavy rainfall from the storm was made three times more likely by climate change.Climate change is almost certainly at work in California

33、too. “It is perfectly clear that climate change is increasing the likelihood and intensity of heatwaves in California,” says Swain.Although the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection had 14,000 people fighting the fires, observers say it is impossible to have enough crews to stop fire

34、s this big.Authorities last month agreed a five-year plan to do just that. With climate change locked in for the next 30 years, the long-term answer is to reduce carbon emissions (碳排放), says Thomas Smith at the London School of Economics.8. What is unusual about the current California fires?A. They

35、are driven by powerful winds.B. Dry lightning contributes partly to the fires.C. They started from north California last winter.D. Death Valley National Park is affected most seriously.9. How severe is Hurricane Laura in the Gulf of Mexico?A. It has affected oil and gas production.B. It is as big as

36、 Hurricane Harvey in 2017.C. It is the fourth strongest in the Atlantic this year.D. It brings unsurvivable natural disasters to the area10. What is a headache for California?A. The fires may last 30 years.B. The five-year plan doesnt work.C. It is hard to put out the fires currently.D. It is imposs

37、ible to reduce carbon emissions.11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Extreme weathers and fire seasonsB. Wildfires and hurricanes hit the USC.

38、kes a difference in peoples lives, writes David Sturt, Executive Vice President of the O.C. Tanner Institute, in his book Great Work: How to Make a Difference People Love. Sturt insists, however, that great work is not just for surgeons or special-needs educators or the founders of organizations try

39、ing to eliminate poverty in sub-Saharan Africa. The central theme of Great Work, according to Sturt, is that anyone can make a difference in any job. Its not the nature of the job, but what you do with the job that counts. As proof, Sturt tells the story of a remarkable hospital cleaner named Moses.

40、In a building filled with doctors and nurses doing great life-saving work, Moses the cleaner makes a difference. Whenever he enters a room, especially a room with a sick child, he engages both patients and parents with his optimism and calm, introducing himself to the child and, Sturt writes, speaki

41、ng “little comments about light and sunshine and making things clean.” He comments on any progress he sees day by day (“youre sitting up today, thats good.”) Moses is no doctor and doesnt pretend to be, but he has witnessed hundreds of sick children recovering from painful surgery, and parents take

42、comfort from his encouraging words. For Matt and Mindi, whose son McKay was born with only half of a heart, Moses became a close friend. As Sturt explains, “Moses took his innate (与生俱来的) talents (his sensitivity) and his practical wisdom (from years of hospital experience) and combined them into a p

43、owerful form of patient and family support that changed the critical-care experience for Mindi, Matt and little McKay.”How do people like Moses do great work when so many people just work? That was the central question raised by Sturt and his team at the O.C. Tanner Institute, a consulting company s

44、pecialized in employee recognition and rewards system.O.C. Tanner launched an exhaustive Great Work study that included surveys to 200 senior executives, a further set of surveys to 1,000 managers and employees working on projects, an in-depth qualitative study of 1.7 million accounts of award-winni

45、ng work (in the form of nominations (提名) for awards from corporations around the world), and one-on-one interviews with 200 difference makers. The results of the study revealed that those who do great work refuse to be defeated by the constraints of their jobs and are especially able to reframe thei

46、r jobs: they dont view their jobs as a list of tasks and responsibilities but see their jobs as opportunities to make a difference. No matter, as Moses so ably exemplifies (例证), what that job may be.12. According to Sturt, which of the following is TRUE?A. Its not the nature of the job, but what you

47、 do that makes a difference.B. Anyone in the world is responsible to delete poverty and change the world.C. Anyone can make a difference in peoples lives no matter what kind of job he does.D. Surgeons, special-needs educators and founders of organizations can succeed more easily.13. According to thi

48、s passage, how does Moses, a common hospital cleaner, make a difference in peoples lives?A. By keeping optimistic and calm when facing patients and their parents at hospital.B. By showing his special gift and working experience when working at hospital.C. By showing his sympathy and kindness to pati

49、ents when entering their rooms.D. By pretending to be a doctor or nurse when entering a room with a sick child.14. The word “constraints” in the last paragraph probably refers to _.A. demandsB. advantagesC. disadvantagesD. limitations15. What can we infer from the passage?A. Great work is work that

50、makes a difference in peoples lives no matter what you do.B. If a boss has trouble recognizing his employees, he can ask O. C. Tanner for advice. C. Moses makes a difference through his sensitivity and his practical wisdom.D. Those who do great work are never defeated by others or their jobs themsel
