19、action against climate change.The global youth environmental movement began with a single concerned teenagerl6-year-old GretaThunberg.

20、f plastic in the ocean, starving polar bears and so on. I cried through all the movies. Those pictures were stuck in my head.Overthenextfew years,the youngster convinced her parents to reduce their carbon footprint. Her mother, a world-famous opera singer, stopped flying, even though it severely imp

21、acted her career, while her father became a vegetarian.In 2018, following a record heat wave in Europe and a series of massive forest fires in Sweden, the young girl decided to take her concerns to a national level. She organized a school strike, but the effort failed. However, that did not stop the

22、 determined teen from trying to achieve her goal. From August 20, 2018 to September 9, 2018the day of Swedens general elections Greta skipped school and spent the days sitting on the pavement outside the parliament building in central Stockholm.“I painted the sign on a piece of wood and, for the fly

23、ers, wrote down some facts I thought everyoneshould know,” she recalls. “The first day, I sat alone from about 8:30 am to 3 pmthe regular school day. And then on the second day, people started joining me. After that, there were people there all the time.”Greta now attends school four days a week and

They are paparazziphotographers who make a living by taking pictures of the rich and famous.This

29、 September, California, a state with plenty of celebrities, passed a law aimed at taking action against paparazzi. The law forbids photographers from entering private property to take pictures, from using high-tech devices to take pictures of people on private property, and from “persistently follow

30、ing in order to take a picture”. Violators can be fined or spend time in prison. The United State Congress is considering passing a similar law.Supporters of the California law say it will protect the privacy of celebrities, whom paparazzi have been bothering for years. Opponents say the law restric

31、ts photo-journalists from doing their job.Most celebrities seem to like having their pictures taken when they are in public at award shows or other events. After all, its free publicity. But when theyre not in public, they say, photographers should leave them alone. Yet paparazzi have been known to

32、secretly look in windows and worse. Actor Michael J. Fox said that paparazzi have even “tried to pretend to be medical personnel at the hospital where my wife was giving birth to our son”.Celebrities have as much right to their privacy as anyone else, supporters of the law state. Supporters further

33、argue that the California law is a fair way to keep the press at bay, because the law still allows photographers to do their job. It only punishes them, supporters say, when they violate celebrities privacy.Opponents of the law say it violates the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, w

34、hich guarantees that no laws will be made to limit “the freedom of speech, or of the press”. Although some people might not consider paparazzi a part of the legal press, the California law does not single out paparazzi. It applies to photographers working for any publication. Opponents of the law ar

35、e also concerned about its wording. “Does persistently mean following someone for six minutes, six seconds, or six days?” asked lawyer Douglas Mirell. The wording of the law is too vague, critics complain, and could be used to punish almost any news photographers.The United States needs a free press

36、 to keep the public informed about important news, paparazzi law opponents say. Limiting the press in any way, they argue, limits the freedom of all. 28. Which of the following will be considered illegal by the new California law?A. Paparazzi hiring helicopters as a fast means of transportation.B. P

37、aparazzi rushing towards filming sites on motorcycles.C. Paparazzi taking photos of famous people with high-tech cameras.D. Paparazzi slipping into the house of a famous person to take a shot.29. Supporters of the new law believe that _ .A. privacy of famous people needs special protectionB. it prev

38、ents the media from getting worseC. it gives photographers a fair way to competeD. punishment forces paparazzi to quit their job30. Opponents of the new law are concerned that _ .A. some photographers will be wrongly accusedB. people will not be informed of important newsC. the First Amendment will

39、be changedD. it will violate paparazzis privacy31. What is the authors attitude towards the new California law?A. Approving B. CriticalC. Neutral D. SkepticalDAs the temperature rises, sweaty humans are making a response that is further worsening the problem of climate change. At present, the world

40、just has 1.6 billion air conditioning units, but these units use a surprising total of ten percent of all global electricity supply. While less than a third of families globally are so equipped, the most AC-addicted countries are Japan (in 91 percent of families), the US (90 percent) and South Korea

41、(86 percent).New research by the International Energy Agency (IEA) guesses that the total number of AC units is likely to increase to over 5.6 billion by 2050equal to ten new units being sold every second for more than 30 yearswith sales driven particularly by India, China and Indonesia. This will m

42、ake the use of air conditioning one of the worlds largest demands for energy.“Growing electricity demand for air conditioning is one of the most critical blind spots in todays energy debate,” argues Faith Birol, executive director of the IEA. “With rising incomes, air conditioner ownership will skyr

43、ocket, especially in the developing world. While this will improve daily lives, it is quite necessary that efficiency performance be prioritized.”Birol and the IEA stress the need for new efficiency standards to ensure that consumers are at least buying units that require significantly less power to

44、 function, therefore decreasing the total energy demand. Variations on the traditional “vapor compression” technology, which has formed the basis for AC units for more than a century, may appear really important. A water-based system was recently developed by researchers at the National University o

45、f Singapore (NUS), which uses 40 percent less electricity and produces only one by-product: drinkable water.“Our cooling system can be tailored for all types of weather conditions, from wet climate in the tropics to dry climate in the deserts,” says associate professor Ernest Chua at NUS. “While it

46、can be used for indoor living and commercial spaces, it can also be easily used to provide air conditioning for blocks of buildings in an energy-efficient manner.” 32. The author mentions the number of air conditioning units mainly to show their _.A. uneven distribution globally B. popularity among

47、peopleC. vital importance to humans D. high demand for electricity33. Which of the following statements may Faith Birol agree with?A. Air conditioners should be more energy-efficient.B. Air conditioners will be more and more expensive.C. Peoples daily lives should be improved in various ways.D. Peop

48、le should use their air conditioners less.34. What do we know about the water-based system?A. It has caused much debate about its effectiveness.B. Itll be a fundamental system for future air conditioners.C. It seems to be environmentally friendly.D. It appears different from the current technology.3

49、5. From what Ernest Chua says, we can infer that the new system _.A. has different effects in different placesB. can be applied to nearly all situationsC. can greatly meet peoples cooling demandD. will be brought into use in the near future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

It affects how we connect with people, how we shop, how we do our business and pay our bills, and, most importantly, how we learn.

51、 Digital technology will prepare students for their future. There is no denying that digital technology is here to stay. 37 By keeping up with the ever-changing technology tools in your classroom today, you are preparing your students for their future careers tomorrow. Digital technology is adaptive

52、. 38 Adaptive technology has the capability to give each individual student the version that he / she needs to learn at their own specific level. If a student is struggling, a computer has the ability to recognize that and provide guided practice until the student has mastered the skill. 39 Some stu

53、dies show that the ability to cooperate is going to be more important in the future than content knowledge. Classroom teachers can use technology to promote cooperation and teamwork by connecting students with other students across the globe. A great example of this is classroom ePals, where student
