Extreme heat is responsible for the highest number of annual deaths among all weather-related hazards (危害).It’s not your imagination. Summers have been getting hotter and hotter with extreme heatwaves occurring earlier and more frequently. But why is this happening and can we better predict heatwaves in advance to give people time to prepare?“Climate change is here and it’s already been changing human behavior and causing significant influence in the society. As global temperatures rise, historically excessive (过高的) temperatures are more likely to occur.” says Craig Ramseyer, an assistant professor who studies climate modeling in the department of geography at Virginia Tech.Ramseyer says heatwaves are the most concerning because of the lack of attention they normally receive. “Hurricanes, tornadoes, and flash floods drive more media attention because of the natural attraction with the visual impact of those types of hazards. However, heat does not tend to be as attractive and it becomes very difficult to communicate the danger to the public,” said Ramseyer. “Around the world, m ore deaths occur due to extreme heat than from hurricanes, flooding, and drought combined. It impacts the most helpless of our citizens who do not have enough access to air conditioning, water, and other important resources.”Since the Earth is running warmer than it used to, Ramseyer says that when these heatwave-related weather patterns take place, it results in higher extreme temperatures than we used to experience 30 years ago.“As a global community, we need to decrease carbon emissions as soon as p ossible. We have rapidly developing technologies that are going to help advance the process, but the faster the better, there is no time to waste.”4、What can we learn from the article?A. Extreme heat is a No.1 death cause.B. People are suffering more extreme heat.C. A 100-degree heat is an extreme heat.D. Extreme heat is getting better over the years.5、What will Ramseyer possibly agree with?A. Climate change will soon affect human behaviors.B. High temperatures happened frequently in history.C. Air conditioning and water can stop the extreme heat.D. Garbage sorting can less advance the climate change.6、Why is extreme heat lack of attention?A. Extreme heat can be stopped by technology.B. People have enough time to solve the climate problems.C. The danger of extreme heat is not easily transferred to the public.D. Heatwave-related weather patterns will decrease in the future.7、What’s the article mainly about?A. Complaints about extreme heat.B. Prevention of extreme heat.C. Characters of extreme heat.D. Technologies behind extreme heat.Within the last decade, adult coloring books have surged in popularity. The vast selection available today includes abstract images, mandalas (圆形图案) and your beloved characters ranging from Marvel to Disney and anything in between. Themes aside, these books have often been best sellers and claim to provide users with the opportunity to connect with their inner artists and live happier lives.But do they? I have heard friends, family, students and clients all share their personal pleasure experiences with adult coloring books. And honestly, I truly enjoy my own. Nevertheless,I recognize that just because my personal interpretation tends to be echoed in those around me does not mean that an illustration a day keeps the sorrows away.But what is it about these books that is so inviting? Is it the nostalgia (怀旧) for the free coloring we experienced as children? Perhaps it gives us a creative outlet to break our rigid routines? Or could it be the mindfulness achieved as we disconnect from chaos and connect to the present?A previous study provided support for adult coloring books. Curry and Kasser investigated a group of undergraduates with anxiety, provided them either with a blank page or a mandala, and instructed them to color for 20 minutes. Both designs reduced anxiety, but the mandala was slightly more effective.In a recent study, experts utilized randomized controlled experiments to explore the differences between coloring and a free drawing. In one experiment, there were no differences in between an unguided coloring group and a free drawing. However, in a second experiment, participants were assigned to either a guided or unguided mandala coloring group, and although no differences were noted in mindfulness, those in a guided group did show a reduction in anxiety.It seems as though adult coloring books are therapeutic (治疗的)，but they are not substitutes for therapy. There may be benefits, but the personal process may be different from the growth one encounters in therapy. If you do enjoy this artistic activity and hope to improve your mental health, perhaps you will benefit from seeking a creative practitioner or an art therapist to help you along the journey.8、What does the writer think of the adult coloring books in the first two paragraphs?A. They can help ease anxiety.B. They can help gain some pleasure.C. They can help contact their inner artists.D. They can help readers live happier lives.9、People may buy a coloring book for any of the following reasons EXCEPT______A. to concentrate on what they are doingB. to relive the past joy of doing coloringC. to relate to their-friends and their family betterD. to take a break from their dull everyday routine10、What can we learn from the studies about the reduction of anxiety?A. Both studies share the same method.B. Both studies indicate mandala works better than others.C. The recent study proves the effectiveness of being guided.D. The previous study proves the effectiveness of being instructed.11、What is the main idea of this text?A. Adult coloring books are beneficial to some extent.B. Adult coloring books have both their pros and cons.C. Adult coloring books have more effects than we expected.D. Adult coloring books can be used as a medical treatment in reducing anxiety.The US Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) recently asked scientists, lawyers, social scientists and other experts to consider some of these ethical dimension. To give two examples: on privacy, as we let more listening devices into our homes, how do we prevent the data they collect falling into the wrong hands through hacking (黑客) or simply being sold between companies without us receiving any money? Another example: mixed reality, including virtual reality, will become pervasive in the next few years. As we move from headsets to what the IEEE committee describes as “more delicate sensory enhancements” we will use technology to live in an illusory world in many aspects of ourlives. How do we balance the rights of the individual, control over our virtual identity, and the need to live and interact on a face-to-face basis while being empowered to live rich lives in mixed reality?There is, of course, always a tension between innovation and regulation. But it can often seem that giant steps are taken in technology with minimal public discussion. Take the self-driving car: although it may be safer than human drivers and is likely to save more than a million lives a year worldwide, it will also take jobs from drivers, traffic police, sign-makers, car-repair companies, carmakers and more. Is this a bargain we want to make? In taking that decision, have we given thought to a car that knows everywhere we go, decides routes, perhaps, based on paid advertisement from shops along the way—and listens and sees everything we do on board? What will happen to that data and can it be kept safe?Additionally, while some worry about the uncommon “trolley problem” of whom the car should choose to hit in a strange accident—an old lady or a mother and baby—perhaps the more frequent issue will be how we find out what the algorithm (运算程序) was thinking at the time of an accident, because AIs (Artificial Intelligence) are self-learning and devise their own strategies.Similar concerns are emerging over the internet of things. Robot vacuum-cleaners already plot cleaning cycles using computer-aided vision that, for some models, is relayed to their manufacturers. As more things at home become connected, they will be hackable and the data they collect saleable.It’s time for some messy, democratic discussions about the future of AI.12、Two examples in paragraph 1 are used to________.A. shed some light on hacking in our modern lifeB. lead the reader to think of ethical issues brought by hi-techC. lead in the following example concerning the self-driving carD. list the existing problems that caught the attention of experts13、The word “pervasive” in paragraph 1 probably means “________”.A. intelligentB. powerfulC. widespreadD. skillful14、We can infer from the passage that________.A. innovation should be accompanied by guidelines to relieve tensionB. more giant innovative steps will lead to fewer public discussionC. disadvantages of the self-driving car will outweigh its advantagesD. artificial intelligence fails to have a promising and bright future15、In the passage, the author intends to ________.A. expose some underlying problems in high-technologyB. call on professionals to enforce law and orderC. illustrate AI’s abilities in self-devising and self-learning strategiesD. display our inter-connected computer-aided life in future二、七选五16、For many years, public schools taught only Euro-American cultural values and neutralized or ignored other cultural heritages. Textbooks minimized problems among groups and taught a sanitized version of history. It was assumed that everyone in the American melting pot would eventually lose or abandon those ethnic characteristics that distinguished them from mainstream Americans. ①_______ Current textbooks absorb a variety of ethnic individuals who have achieved success. Struggles for equality are vividly depicted, and past racism is frankly acknowledged. Cultural pluralism(多元性)is now generally recognized as the organizing principle of education, and children in American schools learn that variety and cultural diversity are assets(资产).②_______Elementary school students learn not only about the traditional Thanksgiving celebration in the United States, but also about other harvest holidays around the world. They learn that African tribal farmers observe harvest festivals to thank their ancestors for keeping them well and sending rain. The moon’s birthday is the start of the Chinese harvest festival called Chung Ch’ui, in which the Chinese give thanks and remember a victory over an invading army. In India, Hindu women honor Gauri, the goddess of the harvest and the protector of women. ③_______Koreans offer prayers for good harvests on Tano Day, and in Switzerland and Sweden, children carry lanterns made from vegetables to celebrate their harvest holiday. Middle School and high schools include literature from around the world offering alternative perspectives on social problems and significant historical events. Ethnic studies departments can be found in high schools and colleges. ④_______There is some evidence that attempts at multicultural education are working. In the United States, for example, graduation rates are up. The share of high school students taking a core of academic subjects increased from 13 percent to 47 percent in the past decade. The gap between whites’ and minorities’ test scores has narrowed. These accomplishments may well be attributed to educators who daily confront diversity in their classrooms and have identified the central issues in educating a culturally diverse population. ⑤_______A. Here are some approaches to multicultural education.B. Those issues deal with learning style difference, language diversity, and gender.C. In Africa, due to extremely hot weather, Africans suffer a lot.D. Concrete examples of teaching diversity can be found at every grade level.E. Today, however, schools routinely teach the experience and values of many ethnic cultures.F. In Japan, thanksgiving is a national holiday and a time to give thanks for blessings.G. Many schools further require that students take courses in cultural diversity.三、完形填空（15空）My parents and I never really saw eye to eye on anything.

Most American teens spend a lot of time emailing friends and surfing the internet.Yahoo made a new study of more than 2,500 teens. It says that more teens use the internet than watch television. In an average week, an American teen will spend: * 16.7 hours online (not including emailing),* 13.6 hours watching TV,* 12 hours with the radio on* 7.7 hours on the phone,* 6 hours reading books and magazines (not including school books).The study says that being able to choose what you look at is the main reason teens choose the internet over other types of media.On a typical (代表性的)day, an American teen can choose from over 200 cable television networks, 5,500 magazines, 10,500 radio stations, more than 30 million websites, and 122,000 new books.The number of internet users in China has grown by 15 per cent over the past six months to 68 million. This is the second largest online population in the world after the US.假如你是李华，以上是你在网上看到的关于美国青少年使用网络和上网时间长度的调查文章，读完之后你很有感触，并写信给你的美国笔友David了解情况，内容包括：1. 询问调查结果是否属实；2. 询问他的上网情况和告知自己的；3. 就安全合理上网问题征求对方的建议。
