Charles Dickens, who died in 1870, is buried in Poets’ Corner, the resting place and remembrance location for writers of

all kinds.

Charles Dickens is known for many of his works and A Christmas Carol and A Tale of Two Cities are two of his most widely

known works. It was popular opinion among the people and his fellow writers that Dickens should be buried in Westminster

Abbey.

Stephen Hawking

Hawking was a scientist, physicist, and author, who died in 2018. Carved onto his stone is a series of rings, surrounding

a darker central ellipse(椭圆). The ten characters of Hawking’s equation express his idea that black holes in the universe are

not entirely black but send out a glow that would become known as Hawking radiation.

His epitaph reads, ”HERE LIES WHAT WAS MORTAL OF STEPHEN HAWKING”.

Laurence Olivier

Famous actor Laurence Oliver is also buried in Westminster. Born in 1907, his career began on the stage in England, and

he eventually became a film legend until his death in 1989.

When I teach yoga (瑜伽), I usually announce “Phones off and at the back of the room” at the beginning of class.

Recently, I forgot and had to whisper to a student texting during class to turn off her phone. She looked displeased but did so.

But two days later, in another class, I was met with resistance from a young woman who completely refused.

“But I’m on call. I might have to jump up and run out of class.”

“Then maybe this isn’t the best place for you to be tonight.”

That response got me an angry and unfriendly look. But when she came back the next week, there was no phone and she

was much more present.

Present is what I’m asking my students to be. Present to themselves and their yoga experience. You cannot be present to

yoga if you are texting or emailing or anxiously awaiting a call. And neither can anyone around you. Definitely, if one phone

is out, many pairs of eyes are drawn to it. And then other phones start to appear. Forget the fact that you’re missing the class

you paid for; you’re at risk of losing your balance and hurting yourself or someone else due to inattention, or disturbing

someone else’s moment of peace and stillness with the clicking of your keys.

So please, do yourself and everyone around you, this teacher included, a favor and turn your phone off and put it away

before you unroll your yoga mat. If you truly are on call, think hard before you come to class.

Be present for yourself, wherever you need to be.

24. How does the author introduce her topic?

A. By giving examples B. By making comparison.

C. By presenting the process. D. By analyzing cause and effect.

25. Why was the young woman angry with the author?

A. Because she thought she was reasonable.

B. Because she was brave enough to say no.

C. Because she didn’t like the yoga class at all.

D. Because the author was rude to her.

26. Which is Not the probable result of using phones in yoga class?

A. Hurting yourself. B. Missing the class.

C. Disturbing others. D. Getting others’ admiration.

27. What’s the author’s purpose of writing this passage?

A. To describe the situation of her yoga class.

B. To explain her relationship with students.

C. To show her opinion about using mobile phones.

D. To stress the importance of being attentive in yoga class.

A D u t c h c i t y w i l l b e c o m e t h e f i r s t i n t h e w o r l d t o b a n m e a t a d v e r t s f r o m p u b l i c s p a c e s i n a n e f f o r t t o r e d u c e

consumption and greenhouse gas emissions（排放）. Haarlem, which lies to the west of Amsterdam and has a population of

160,000, will pass the prohibition from 2024 after meat was added to a list of products thought to contribute to the climate

crisis.

Adver t s w i l l not be a l l o w e d o n Ha a rl e m ’s b u se s , sh el te rs a n d s c re e n s i n p u b l i c s p a c es, c a u s i n g c o m plain t s f r o m th e

meat sector that the city government is “going too far in telling people what’s best for them”.

Recent studies suggest global food production is responsible for one-third of all planet-heating emissions, with the use

of animals for meat accounting for twice the pollution of producing plant-based foods. Forests that absorb carbon dioxide are

cut down for the grazing （放牧） o f a n i m a l s w h i l e f e r t i l i z e r s u s e d f o r g r o w i n g t h e i r f e e d a r e r i c h i n

nitrogen(氮)，which can contribute to air and water pollution and climate change. Livestock also produces large quantities

of methane(甲烷)，a powerful greenhouse gas.

Ziggy Klazes, a councilor from the GroenLinks party, who drafted(起草) the law banning meat advertising, said she had

not known the city would be the world’s first to enforce(执行) such a policy when she proposed it. She told the Haarlem 105

rad io channel , “We ar e not ab ou t what p eople ar e ba king a nd r oa stin g in their own kit ch en ; if people want ed to contin ue

eating meat, fine… Of course, there are a lot of people who find the decision unacceptable, but there are also a lot of people

who think it’s fine.”

The ban also covers holiday flights, fossil fuels and cars that run on fossil fuels. The ban is delayed until 2024 due to

existing contracts with companies that sell the products.

Research suggests that to meet the EU target of net zero emissions by 2050, meat consumption must be reduced to 24kg

per person per year, compared with the current average of 82kg or 75.8kg in the Netherlands, which is the EU’s biggest meat

exporter.

28. What does the underlined word prohibition in paragraph 1 probably mean?

A. Ban B. city C. climate D. population

29. What’s the attitude of people from meat sectors to the new law?

A. Acceptable B. Dissatisfied C. Uncared D. Supportive

30. What’s the main idea of the third paragraph?

A. The seriousness of air pollution.

B. The benefits of eating plant-based foods.

C. The reasons for banning meat adverts in public.

D. The importance of protecting the environment.

31. What’s the maximum meat consumption for Dutch people annually to meet the EU 2050 target of net zero emissions?

A. 24kg per person B. 82kg per person

C. 75.8 per person D. 105kg per person

When Joseph Cook first landed on the Greenland ice sheet in 2010, he was expecting to see a primitive white

environment. What he found was “colorful mix”-from blacks and grays to greens, purples and browns, with blue streams

cutting through the ice. The rainbow colors Cook met are created by a collection of tiny life forms that reproduce on the

surface of the ice sheet. Biodiversity is usually considerd a good thing, but in this case the abundance of tiny life is speeding

up the ice melting, and likely causing global sea levels to rise faster than scientists have predicted.

Cook says the tiny life forms he studies are contributing to the problem. One of these

organisms（微生物） is a kind of algae（海藻） that grows in thin layer of water on the surface of the ice. It produces

purple-brown pigment（色素）which acts “like a natural sunlight,” says Cook, producing the algae from the full force of the

Arctic sunlight. The pigment also causes the ice to heat up and melt.

“If you go out on a hot day wearing a black T-shirt, you get warmer than if you go out on a hot day wearing a white T-

shirt. The same thing happens on the ice,” says Cook. “These algae, like the black T-shirt for the glacier, are causing it to

warm up in the sun and melt faster.”

Cook’s research on the a part of the Greenland ice sheet covering 3,900 square miles revealed that algae responsible for

up to 13% of the ice melt. In some localized areas, the algae boosted melting by up to 26%.

“Glacier algae are not a new phenomenon(现象)—there are records of them in the diaries of polar explorers from the

1870s,” says Cook. What’s becoming clear is that ice sheets are surprisingly dynamic(动态的) and complex environments.

“There are so many questions to answer,” says Cook. “It’s kind of like a theme park for a scientist because there’s just too

much to do.”

32. What are quickening the ice melting?

A. The algae. B. Human activities.

C. Global warming. D. Rising sea levels.

33. What is the example of wearing a black T-shirt mentioned?

A. To clarify a rule. B. To explain the phenomenon.
