21．（6分 Plants are flowering faster than scientists predicted (预测) in reaction to climate change, which could have long damaging effects on food chains and ecosystems.
Global warming is having a great effect on hundreds of plant and animal species around the world, changing some living patterns, scientists say.
Increased carbon dioxide (CO2) in the air from burning coal and oil can have an effect on how plants produce oxygen, while higher temperatures and changeable rainfall patterns can change their patterns of growth.
“Predicting species, reaction to climate change is a major challenge in ecology,” said the researchers of several U.S. universities. They said plants had been the key object of study because their reaction to climate change could have an effect on food chains and ecosystem services.
The study, published on the Nature website, uses the findings from plant life cycle studies and experiments across four continents and 1,634 species. It found that some experiments had underestimated (低估) the speed of flowering by 8.5 times and leafing by 4 times.
“Across all species, the experiments under-predicted the speed of the advance—for both leafing and flowering— that results from temperature increase,” the study said.
The design of future experiments may need to be improved to better predict how plants will react to climate change, it said.
Plants are necessary for life on the Earth. They are the base of the food chain, using photosynthesis (光合作用) to produce sugar from carbon dioxide and water. They let out oxygen which is needed by nearly every organism on the planet.
Scientists believe the world’s average temperature has risen by about 0.8℃ since 1900, and nearly 0.2℃ every ten years since 1979.
So far, efforts to cut emissions (排放) of planet-warming greenhouse gases are not seen as enough to prevent the Earth heating up beyond 2℃ this century—a point scientists say will bring the danger of a changeable climate in which weather extremes are common, leading to drought, floods, crop failures and rising sea levels.
1、What is the main idea of Paragraph 1?
A．Plants’ reaction to weather could have damaging effects on ecosystems.
B．The increasing speed of flowering is beyond scientists’ expectation.
C．Climate change leads to the change of food production patterns.
D．Food chains have been seriously damaged because of weather.
2、We can learn from the study published on the Nature website that .
A．plants’ flowering is 8.5 times faster than leafing
B．there are 1,634 plant species on the four continents
C．scientists should improve the design of the experiments
D．the experiments failed to predict how plants react to climate change
3、Scientists pay special attention to the study of plants because .
A．they can prove the climate change clearly
B．they are very important in the food chains
C．they play a leading role in reducing global warming
D．they are growing and flowering much faster than before
4、What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs about the world’s temperature?
A．It needs to be controlled within 2℃ in this century.
B．Its change will lead to weather extremes.
C．It is 0.8℃ higher in 1979 than that of 1900.
D．It has risen nearly 0.2℃ since 1979.
22．（8分）I visited Copenhagen for the first time last Easter. As a student，I’m always strapped for cash，so I assumed I could only afford to breathe the air — but luckily everything about Copenhagen is breathtaking.
I was staying in an Airbnb, and rented a bike so I could cover more ground. One of the first places I visited was the Rundetaarn, or “round tower” built in the 17th century as an astronomical observatory. It has an equestrian staircase (a wide set of stairs big enough for horses to use) that went on and on. As I was going up, I stopped to visit the tower’s library hall. At the top, there’s a glass platform that gives a view 80-foot straight down, as well as a bell loft. Luckily, the views over Copenhagen from the top were well worth the climb.
After coming down, I hiked up to the Kastellet Fortress to see the famous Little Mermaid statue. Taking a photo with her was almost impossible with all the tourists crowding around—but sitting there and hearing the lapping waves of the deep blue Baltic Sea, waiting for the sun to set, was an unforgettable and calming experience.
The next day, I visited the Glyptotek art museum, exploring the grand exhibits. I looked into the marble eyes of many Roman gods, and walked down dimly lit staircases to see mummies from Egypt.
Before I unwillingly boarded the train back to the airport, I told myself that I must visit again—to experience the thrills of Tivoli Gardens, try more of the street food and everything else from this amazing city.

2、What did the author find difficult at the Kastellet Fortress?

B．Waiting for the sun to set.
C．Listening to the sound of waves.
D．Having a photo taken with a statue.
3、Which of the following didn’t the author visit?
A．Rundetaarn. B．Tivoli Gardens.
C．Glyptotek art museum. D．Little Mermaid Statue.
4、What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?

23．（8分） Mid-afternoon on a particularly busy Tuesday, I took leave of my desk at work and walked into a local Starbucks, only to find a space where neither my clients (客户) nor my children would ask me to do something.
Inside, I ran into Kate, a co-worker of mine. The topic of parenthood came up. I complained about how packed my schedule was. From the minute I woke up to the minute I fell asleep, I was constantly in demand and always had someone knocking at the door. But a bit of sadness seemed to come over Kate’s face.
“Well, my daughter’s in San Francisco and she doesn’t seem to need me at all these days.” Kate said. It was in that moment that I realized although I might often feel in high demand, there will come a day when I’ll actually miss that same stress I now complain about.
And as our conversation continued, it turned to our children’s younger years, with Kate smiling proudly, thinking of the little boy and girl she raised who are now a man and a woman. But I noticed her smile was marked with regret. She explained that she often wondered about what she could have done differently when her children were in their earlier years.
This got me thinking Is regret an unfortunate footnote (注脚) to parenthood? With that in mind, I asked six older parents one question: What is your biggest regret from your early days as a parent?
It turned out that all of them thought they could have done it better. But, each of them also has a strong, healthy relationship with their kids. Whatever regrets their parents might have had about their upbringing, one thing is clear—it didn’t affect them in a meaningful way.
The bottom line is, we all feel like we could be doing this parenting thing better, And quite clearly, years later, we’re still going to look back and wish we tried things differently. But the past can’t be changed, and neither should it.
1、What can be inferred from the first three paragraphs?
A．Kate had the same problem as the author’s.
B．The two people had arranged to meet in the coffee shop.
C．Kate went to the coffee shop so no one could find her there.
D．The author went to the coffee shop to escape from the pressures around him.
2、Why did Kate feel sad and regretful?
A．Because she and her daughter had a fight.
B．Because she hadn’t paid enough attention to her kids.
C．Because she was disappointed with her kids’ performance.
D．Because she thought that she could have done better in raising her kids.
3、What did the author find when he spoke to six older parents?
A．Some of the parents have a bad relationship with their kids.
B．He was moved by the love of these parents for their children.
C．These parents improved their behavior after their kids grew up.
D．None of the parents were completely satisfied with the way they raised their kids.
4、What should parents do according to the last paragraph?
A．Give more love to their kids.
B．Let your children grow up with freedom.
C．Cherish the present time and do one’s best to be a parent.
D．Never stop learning how to be a good parent from others.
24．（8分）Information on Travelling in Singapore
Money matters
The currency in Singapore is the Singapore dollar(S$). Money changing services can be found at many shopping centres and hotels around the island, and the ATMs(generally open 24/7) accept most of the main credit cards such as Visa, MasterCard and American Express.
Hotel Reservations and Accommodation
Upon arrival at the airport, please visit its 24-hour hotel reservations counters, which can help get you a room in your preferred hotel. Payment for the first night is required upon confirmation.
Lost Passport/Singapore Immigration Services
Should you lose your passport, we suggest you make a police report, then head to the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority to get a temporary visa. Finally, inform your respective embassy so that you can get through customs when you reach home.

25．（10分）The English have a difficult and, generally speaking, dysfunctional (怪异的) relationship with clothes. Their main problem is that they have a desperate need for rules, and are unable to get along without them.
