21．（6分） It’s not common that a grandmother aged 89 is crowned Queen of Icebergs in north America, but when it does happen it’s quite the sight.
On a recent trip to Iceland, Judith Streng became that grandma after her son attempted to take a photograph of her sitting on an ice structure that looks like a throne (宝座) at Diamond Beach in Jokul. Shortly after Streng sat down to pose, the piece of ice broke off and floated into the water.
“I thought it was safe. One girl had been on it and then two girls at the same time, and it was very secure with them. When I got on it, it started to shake and a wave was coming in. A very large wave came in and made the throne kind of shake, and I could tell that I was slipping off,” Streng told ABC News.
Streng’s story went hot after her 24-year-old granddaughter Catherine tweeted a text message exchange she had with her father about the incident. “My grandmother almost got lost at sea in Iceland today!”
Catherine, who teaches English in Seoul, South Korea, explained via Twitter that her father described the scene vividly. He has a PhD in English, and described the event in the following words, “She climbed to the throne after a wave had pulled back and left it briefly exposed on the beach. Then a wave washed in and removed the ice throne, rocking it from side to side. When the wave left, it lifted the throne and carried her out into the sea with the tide.”
Luckily for the Streng family, Randy, a licensed boat captain from Florida with knowledge of water rescue strategies witnessed the whole thing, and was able to save the day.
1、Where was the grandma when her son was taking a picture for her?
A．On a crown. B．In an iceboat.
C．At a throne beach. D．On an iceberg.
2、How did Catherine spread this accident?
A．By drawing a vivid picture.
B．By exchanging tweeter account.
C．By talking with her father in Seoul.
D．By posting the text message exchange with her father.

22．（8分）The discussion on renewable energy has been going on for at least a decade and people have relied on fossil fuels almost entirely for more than a century. However, the situation when fossil fuels were the most efficient and the cheapest source of energy has been left far in the past. Many countries such as Germany and Sweden have already made significant efforts to fix this situation, employing numerous power plants working on the renewable resources of energy. The most effective among these resources is geothermal（地热的）energy.
Geothermal energy does not depend on the world’s economic and political situation as strongly as fossil fuels do. Besides, extracting（提炼）fossil fuels adds to the price of energy produced from them. Therefore, geothermal energy is much cheaper than traditional ones, saving up to 80% of the costs over fossil fuels.
Being a renewable resource, geothermal energy produces less waste and pollution than traditional energy sources. In geothermal systems, carbon dioxide makes up about 10% of air produced. Overall, in order to produce the electricity that can be used for one hour, the geothermal systems produce 0.1 pound of carbon dioxide and other harmful gases. For a comparison, a power plant producing from gas produces up to 2 pounds of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, and those power plants that work on coal（煤）produce an astonishing 3.6 pounds of greenhouse gases.
Low costs is another reason why using geothermal power plants should be the first choice for many countries. Geothermal heat systems require 25% to 50% less energy for work compared with the traditional systems for heating or cooling. Besides, geothermal equipment is less big: due to the very nature of geothermal energy, geothermal power plants have only a few moving parts, all of which can be easily sheltered inside a relatively small building. What’s more, the life span of geothermal equipment is rather long. All these make geothermal power stations easy to build and keep.
1、Fossil fuels are more expensive than geothermal energy partly because _______.
A．it is free to use geothermal energy
B．the production of fossil fuels costs a lot
C．fossil fuels are nearly used up
D．geothermal energy doesn’t depend on political situation
2、According to Paragraph 3, what can be concluded from the comparison?
A．Geothermal energy is environmentally friendly.
B．Gas and coal are often used to produce electricity.
C．Coal is much more efficient than gas.
D．The geothermal systems don’t produce harmful gases.
3、Geothermal equipment is usually not as big as that of traditional energy because of______.
A．the life span of geothermal equipment B．geothermal power plants
C．the nature of geothermal energy D．the small buildings
4、What is the main idea of this passage?
A．Many countries have benefited from geothermal energy.
B．Geothermal energy is well accepted.
C．Fossil fuels are being run out of.
D．Geothermal energy has many advantages.
23．（8分）Saying ''I'm sorry when you've hurt someone can be a hard thing to do. We’re stubborn creatures, after all, and don’t love dealing with it when we’re wrong. But apologizing, and meaning it, is an important part of the forgiveness process.
Michael McCullough made a research and found that the most sincere, forgiveness-inducing apolog.es include saying “I’m sorry”, offering to make up for the wrongdoing in some way, and taking responsibility. And the reason why they work so well is largely based on principles of evolution, the apologies make the transgressor(犯错的人} seem more valuable as a relationship partner, and also help the victim fed less at risk of getting hurt again.
One basic scientific implication of the results is that the human psychology of conflict resolution is unusually similar to that of animals which live in groups. “Many group-living animals, particularly mammals, seem to use peace making gestures' as signals of their desire to end conflict and restore cooperative relationships with other individuals after aggressive conflict has occurred,” McCullough said. “We seem to reach a common view on this point.”
“I would say that empathy(情感共鸣）is a part of good mental health, and that could be a part of the natural selection process, too,'' Bethany Marshall says. “Humans with empathy tend to be healthier and make better choices in life, while those who are aggressive don’t tend to do as well.”
, And having empathy when you've hurt someone, she says, is the best way to apologize.” The most important thing is that you feel the other person's pain,'' she explains. “So instead of using logic to explain or defend, look inward to identify why you did the bad thing. Then convey that to them and say that you would like to make it better. That counts.”
You can make it even better by making sure to act differently the next time around——what the study authors referred to as “compensation”（补偿).But what tends to happen often, says Marshall, is that people get defensive about what they've done, or even mad at the person they've wronged. So watch your response, because the worst apology, she adds, “is one where the victim is blamed.''
1、In the experiment, McCullough find that _ ?
A．animals are more cooperative with other individuals
B．humans' psychology is very close to animals’ when dealing with conflicts
C．aggressive conflicts aren't easy to end among animals
D．signal gestures may help end conflicts
2、According to Marshall, people with empathy tend to _ ?
A．defend themselves for what they have done
B．try to explain why they do something logically
C．find fault with themselves seriously
D．show aggressive behaviors in life
3、To make up for the wrongdoing, you need to ?
A．convey the bad things to others
B．experience the other person’s pain
C．be careful of your response
D．promise to behave yourself well next time
4、What is the author's purpose of the passage?
A．To present the reasons why apologizing in the right way matters
B．To show the ways how you accept apologizing of others
C．To tell the occasion when it is suitable to apologize
D．To explain the words that you use for an apology
