A
The latest IPCC report does not mince words(直言不讳地) about the state of our planet: we must act now to achieve global change at a scale that has “no documented historical precedent(先例)” in order to avoid the climate disaster that would result from a 2 degree C rise in average global temperature. Climate change already affects the world's most helpless people including poor rural communities that depend on the land for their livings and coastal communities. Indeed, we have already seen the clear asymmetry(不对称) of suffering resulting from extreme weather events, such as hurricanes, floods, droughts, wildfires and more.
So far, advocates and politicians have tended to focus on reducing fossil fuel(矿物燃料) consumption through technology and/or policy, such as a sharp carbon tax, as climate solutions. These proposals are, of course, essential to reducing manmade carbon emissions(排放)-71 percent of which are produced by just 100 fossil fuel companies.
Yet the international focus on fossil fuels has overshadowed(使......显得不重要) the most powerful and cost-efficient carbon-capture technology the world has yet seen: forests. Recent scientific research confirms that forests and other “natural climate solutions” are absolutely essential in reducing climate change. In fact, natural climate solutions can help us achieve 37 percent of our climate target, even though they currently receive only 2.5 percent of public climate financing.
Forests' power to store carbon dioxide through the simple process of tree growth is staggering:_one tree can even store an average of about 48 pounds of carbon dioxide in one year. Recent research show undamaged forests are capable of storing the same amount of the carbon dioxide emissions of entire countries such as Peru and Colombia.
For this reason, policy makers and business leaders must create and strengthen ambitious policies to prevent deforestation, and support the sustainable management of standing forests in the fight against climate change. Protecting the world's forests ensures they can continue to provide essential functions aside from climate stability, including producing oxygen, filtering water and supporting biodiversity. Not only do all the world's people depend on forests to provide clean air, clean water，oxygen, and medicines, but 1.6 billion people rely on them directly for their livelihoods.
1、According to the passage, climate change ________.
A．will surely achieve at a scale that is more serious than ever before
B．will only affect people living in the poorest rural regions
C．is likely to lead to more frequent extreme weather events
D．is entirely determined by fossil fuel consumption
2、What's the finding of the new research?
A．Reducing fossil fuels is the most powerful and cost-efficient technology.
B．Forests are vital to reducing climate change due to their storage power.
C．Most of our climate targets can be accomplished with the help of natural climate solutions.
D．Natural climate solutions have proved less efficient than conventional solutions.
3、The underlined word “staggering” in Paragraph 4 means ________.
A．astonishing B．speeding C．embarrassing D．shrinking
4、What's the author's purpose of writing this article?
A．To compare two different approaches to dealing with climate change.
B．To argue against the view that focus on fossil fuels reduction counts.
C．To urge scientists to do more research into natural climate solutions.
D．To point out forests are the most powerful weapon for fighting climate change.

B
Students at the Florida high school where 17 people were shot dead in February of 2018 are being asked to wear clear backpacks.
School officials have written to families of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High pupils outlining the plans as part of new security measures, They say any student without a clear backpack will be given one at no cost. As well as introducing the transparent backpacks for quicker safety checks, there will also be airport-style metal detectors and school visitors will pass through special gates.
“We’re going to man every gate at the school during school hours and for after-school activities,” said the superintendent of Broward County Public Schools, Robert W. Runcie.
Since the shooting when Nikolas Cruz opened fire killing 17 people, students there have been leading calls for gun reform.
Donald Trump has told US politicians he wants tougher laws with “really strong background checks”, while he’s faced anger from anti-gun groups for suggesting training school staff to use firearms.
In the last few days, safety at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High has been called into question again after several security breaches (违反). Three students were arrested on Tuesday, two for carrying knives and one for making threats on Snapchat. Some parents have become so worried that they’ve been keeping their children off school.
“We’ve got to put things into place now,” Mr Runcie said.
1、Which is a new security measure of the school?
A．Teachers are trained to use firearms.
B．Guards are hired to monitor the students.
C．Visitors are forbidden to enter the school.

C．Seventeen people were shot dead on campus.
D．Someone unknown broke in and opened fire.
