22．（8分）Ethiopia’s eastern lowlands bordering Somalia are suffering through a severe drought. The rainy season was late and not enough, causing great losses among local livestock herds. Coining on the heels of two previous dry years in Ethiopia, the drought of 2017 compounded already serious situation in the country. As a result, many families in the country’s Somali region are experiencing chronic (长期的) food insecurity and concerning rates of a lack of nutrition.
The United States, Ethiopia’s largest donor of emergency and development aid, continues to deliver a large-scale humanitarian response. In late August, USAID Administrator Mark Green announced that in order to help relieve the terrible humanitarian situation, the United States will deliver 91 million dollars in additional humanitarian assistance for those Ethiopians who are even now struggling with severe food insecurity and malnutrition (营养不良).
“This funding will provide additional emergency food assistance and vital medical care,” he said.
A day earlier, Mr. Green announced that Ethiopia had been chosen as one of a dozen countries that will participate in the second period of the Feed the Future Initiative. This 7-year old program aims to reduce global hunger, poverty, and under-nutrition by focusing on smallholder farmers, increasing investments in agriculture, and supporting country-owned plans for improving food security and nutrition while creating opportunities for economic growth and trade. In this way, the United States hopes to help strengthen Ethiopia’s resilience (恢复力) to climatic shocks.
I don’t view development in humanitarian assistance as a gift or a handout. I view it as a hand up. We want to help people stand on their own two feet and build their own brighter futures, and that’s what I hope our assistance can play a useful role in.” said USAID Administrator Green.
1、What does the underlined word “compounded” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A．Mixed. B．Changed.
C．Formed. D．Worsened.
2、What is the purpose of the Feed the Future Initiative?
A．To help build Ethiopian brighter futures.
B．To deliver humanitarian assistance to Ethiopia.
C．To reduce hunger, poverty mid under-nutrition worldwide.
D．To help strengthen global resilience to severe droughts.
3、What can be learned according to the text?
A．USAID is expected to help Ethiopians build brighter futures.
B．The United States will send 91 billion dollars to Ethiopia.
C．USAID is considered as a handout by Administrator Green.
D．Ethiopians are now suffering no nutrition.
4、What is the best title for the text?
A．The Feed the Future Initiative Program
B．More US Humanitarian Aid for Ethiopia
C．Severe Droughts in Ethiopia
D．Food Insecurity and Malnutrition in Ethiopia
23．（8分）Do you have a spare room in your house? What about a driveway for your car? Both of these can help you make money.Many people who are feeling the pinch are taking advantage of what’s been called the “sharing economy”.
Perhaps the best-known example of a company in this field is Airbnb---an American web business which allows you to rent out your spare room to holidaymakers.It says it operates in 34,000 cities and it has over 1,500,000 listings.It seems to have concerned the market!
A British company is doing something with parking spaces.JustPark’s founder, Anthony Eskinazi, says ,“When I had the original idea,Ispotted a driveway close to a sports stadium.It would have been so convenient if I could have just parked in that driveway rather than in commercial car park.” And he has a big clientele（客户）:around 20,000 people have advertised their spaces on the site,and he says around half a million drivers use it.There are other sites doing very similar things,like Uber and Lyft---these let drivers share their cars with other passengers.Any driver knows how valuable a place to park is .A church near Kings Cross in central London has apparently made over £200,000 by renting out space in its yard to travelers!
Because this is a new business world,those rules aren’t there yet and many people are happy to share...as long as it pays!
But the sharing economy has its critics:the competitors of these new companies.People who run things like traditional B&B, commercial car parks and taxi services are afraid of ending up out of pocket.And there is another issue:regulations on these new business are unclear.How will renting out your driveway affect your neighbor?
1、What does the underlined phrase “feeling the pinch” probably mean?
A．Lacking in money B．Full of curiosity
C．Willing to help others D．Unsatisfied with their life
2、Who may be against the sharing economy?
A．A taxi driver who can’t find a a parking place B．A priest in the church near Kings Cross
C．A traveller who needs accomodiation D．A well-known high-end holiday hotel
3、Why are many people pleased to share according to paragraph 4?
A．They can gain huge profits B．They needn’t pay any fee
C．There are few rules to limit them D．The new business has no risks
4、Which of the following words can best describe the booming business?
A．Creative and developed B．Competitive but unpractical
C．Effective and worrying D．Traditional and acceptable
24．（8分） Nasr Majid started hunting this fall at Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge (保护区)on the Eastern Shore of Maryland in USA, He’s one of the relatively few new hunters who officials hope will help stop a nearly four-decade decline nationally in what has become a hobby for fewer than 5 percent of Americans.
Natural resources and wildlife, officials in Maryland are encouraging hunting of deer, turkeys and some other wild animals, which is believed to be good for the environment. Without hunting, they say, sika deer will overpopulate the wildlife refuge and they’ll overeat the bushes and other plants that provide important habitat for birds. On the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay, hunting is also important to prevent the spread of diseases such as Lyme.
In many families, the hunting tradition has been handed down for generations^ But as longtime sportsmen age and children lose interest, the number of hunters in the United States fell by 2 million, from 2011 to 2018, to about 11 million.
“Everything is changing. Kids are growing up in front of video games and computers instead of going hunting.” said Chris Markin, a hunting specialist for the state natural resources department. “Adults usually focus on working and providing for their families. Those pressures are preventing many other potential hunters from going out, and from raising the next generation of hunters.”
To avoid such a decline, a new approach is needed. Government agencies and nonprofit groups are now launching mentoring (指导) programs to train more hunters, which not only helps preserve an industry and a culture but also means more protection for wildlife and their habitats through deer population control and investment.
Luckily, there are those still eager to learn, like Majid. He was just looking for an outdoor hobby he could share with his children when he came across the mentors-hip program. Now, he feels capable of hunting on his own, but also has someone he can text with questions that pop up. His new pastime has already paid off for him—on his second hunt with his mentor, in the last minutes of daylight, he bagged his first deer.
1、What can be inferred from Chris Markin’s words?
A．No one is interested in hunting any more.
B．Hunting adds to many adults’ life pressures.
C．Parents fail to spend enough time with kids.
D．The hunting tradition is facing challenges.
2、In this passage, Nasr Majid is considered as a symbol of ________. .
A．bravery B．hope
C．enthusiasm D．devotion
3、What does the underlined words “new pastime” refer to?
A．Learning to hunt. B．Raising questions.
C．Looking for hunters. D．Sharing a new hobby.
4、What does the text mainly tell us?
A．Teach hunters new skills. B．Preserve a great tradition.
C．Make hunting more popular. D．Reduce the pressure of life.
25．（10分）Do you live in a city where looking up the air quality forecast is just as important as checking the weather forecast for the day? Many places around the world have terrible pollution problems. But now new research suggests that we might be able to protect ourselves，naturally and easily— simply by taking vitamin B．
The study was conducted by a team of international researchers. Their focus was on a pollutant known as PM2.5. Its size, approximately l/40th the width of a human hair, makes it particularly dangerous because it is readily inhaled and small enough to spread through the body via the blood. This can cause damage to the lungs if PM2.5 is being breathed in regularly.
The current experiment involved subjects being exposed to clean air and a placebo(安慰剂) to record baseline responses. They
