When he was seven, his mother left Mexico to look for work in the United States, leaving him in the care of his father. But Josue Rivas says his dad didn't know how to be a dad. His father was a photographer who struggled with alcoholism and gave away nearly as many portraits as he sold. Under his care, Josue quickly ended up on the streets and was homeless for four years until his mom came and brought him to America. After that, Josue didn't hear from his father much.But in the last year, during the pandemic, they reconnected. Josue told his dad Arturo Rivas how his abandonment hurt him. The man was defensive at first，but heard him out（耐心听完）. And a month before he died of COVID-19 this year, he called his son to tell him that he wanted to continue to talk about their relationship.They never got to have those conversations. The last memories Josue has of his father are a photo of him in the hospital.” I didn't get to say goodbye to him,” says Josué,32."I didn't get to say: ” Hey, I hope you have a good joumey.""As a kid, Josue hated photography because it reminded him of his dad. But as he grew older,he embraced it, recognizing the loving, if misguided, efforts his father had made to pass on his ant form to him.

Parts of the U.S. are feeling the danger now. Heat waves, like the one that has held the Northwest United States in its grip for the past week, are deadly.The human toll（伤亡人数）of the record-breaking temperatures that struck both coasts of the U.S. and Canada in recent weeks is already enormous. At least 80 people have died in the U.S during the past few days of extreme heat; in British Columbia, the number is in the hundreds. And, as more data trickles in, those numbers are likely to rise even further.A mountain of scientific research has shown that climate change is making heat waves longer, hotter, more likely,and more dangerous.A recent study published in Nature Climate Change adds additional detail by assessing the human cost of that extra heat:In June,a team of some 70 researchers reported that for the 732 sites on 6 continents they studied,on average,37 percent of all heat-related deaths can be blamed directly for climnate change.The study underlines the urgency with which we need to address human-caused climate change, says Ana Vicedo Cabrera,lead author of the study and a climate change epidemiologist at theUniversity of Bern, in Switzerland."Climate change is not something in the future: It's something in the present, and it is already affecting our health in very dramatic ways,"she says.Extreme,deadly heat events like the one hitting North America are a warming of what will come."We can expect that what we've seen in the past is going to increase exponentially in the future.Our choices for the future are more of this, or a lot more of this.We can still choose between bad and worse,” he says.Either way,it is well past time to start helping people across the country prepare for extreme heat,says University of Washington's Kristie Ebi,a global environmental health exper Some actions can be simple,like making sure people have access to fans, air conditioning, and shade.But the basic message is simple, according to Ebi:We can choose to save lives." Heat kills, but it doesn't have to," she says.28.What is the main cause of the heat deaths?A.Air pollution.B.Climate change.C.Overpopulation.D.Geographical Location.29.What does the underlined work "enormous" in paragraph 2 mean?A.Zero.B.Moderate.C.LitleD.Huge30.What can we learn from Ana's words?A.Climate change was an issue in the past.B.Heat waves will definitely come next year.C.Human-caused climate change needs solving.D.The future of human is between good and bad.31.Which saying can best describe Ebi's attitude?A.It's better late than never.B.Rome was not built in a dayC.Where there is a will. there is a way.D.God help those who help themselves.DLack of sleep has been linked to heart disease. Poor mood and loneliness. Being tired could also make us less likely to help one another, researchers report August 23 in PLOS Biology.The hour of sleep lost in the switch over to Daylight Savings Time（夏令时）every spring appears to reduce people's tendency to help others, the researchers found in an experiment. Specifically, they showed that average donations to one nonprofit organization dropped by around10 percent in the workweek after the time switch compared with four weeks before and after the change. In some states that do not observe Daylight Savings Time, donations remained unchanged.With over half of the people living in parts of the developed world reporting that they rarely get enough sleep during the workweek, the finding has implications beyond the week we spring forward, the researchers say." Lack of sleep shapes the social experiences we have and the kinds of societies we live in," says neuroscientist Ben Simon of the University of Califomia, Berkeley To test the link between sleep loss and generosity, Ben Simon and her team first brought 23 young adults into the lab for two nights. The participants slept through one night and stayed awake for another night. In the mornings, participants completed a standardized questionnaire rating their likelihood of helping strangers in various situations. For instance, whether they would give up their seat on a bus to a stranger or offer a ride to a coworker in need. About 80 percent of participants showed less likelihood of helping others when sleep-deprived than when rested.The researchers then observed participant' brain activity in a functional MRI machine. comparing each participant's neural activity in a rested versus sleep-deprived state. That showed that sleep deprivation reduced activity in a network of brain regions linked to the ability to empathize with others.There's always a possibility that some other variable besides sleep is causing this decline in generosity, says behavioral economist David Dickinson. But this experiment enabled the researchers to draw a convincing line from changes to the brain that appear during sleep loss to real-world behavior.Chronic sleep loss in the modem world is a serious problem, Ben Simon says. But unlike many other large-scale problems-think climate change or political polarization（极化）-this one has a ready solution.” If you think about promoting sleep and letting people get the sleep they need, what an impact that could have on the societies we live in."32.The experiment focused on whether sleep loss can make peopleA.less generousB.lonelyC.moodyD. uncommunicative33.What did Ben Simon think of the finding?A.It provides a ready cure for sleep lossB.It brings about long-term effects on society.C.It is well received among developed world.D.It is not convincing because of some variables.34.What can we learn about the experiment from paragraph 4?A.It adopted diverse methods during the test.B.It aimed to improve people's act of generosity.C.It analyzed different kinds of experiment resultD.It involved different participants in the two stages35.What is the passage mainly about?A.Ready solution to solve sleep lossB.More people tending to suffer sleep loss.C.The standard method of testing generosity.D.Sleep loss making people less generous.第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，有两项为多余选项。
