17、he wind howls in anger, the natural reaction for most people is to seek shelter. But some run toward the danger. Photographer Liu Yijing is one of that rare type as he captures natures violence.For the past year, Liu, 21, has traveled about 24,000 kilometers across 11 provinces chasing and recording

18、 thunderstorms. From the first signs a stronger breeze developing into a turbulent (汹涌的) sky and birds fleeing he prepares for what appears to be a frightening task. In 2021, he took more than 48,000 photos, showing the most violence of Mother Nature.Liu has received a great deal of recognition for

19、his work. His photos captured a complete supercell (雷暴) structure that occurred in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region on Aug 22. This image has been picked as the cover photo for the Advances in Atmospheric Sciences, a key publication in its field. “It is a typical supercell and I still have a viv

20、id memory about how thrilled I felt the moment it formed. While recording, I couldnt control myself and kept screaming,” he says, adding that the picture and video have spread rapidly on the Internet. The term supercell is even used by meteorologists (气象学家) to describe a type of a lasting thundersto

21、rm that rotates and is usually accompanied by dangerous weather conditions including damaging winds and sometimes tornadoes.Many social media users nicknamed him “storm chaser”. A Sina Weibo user named Guanwaidelin comments that Lius photos and videos show how amazing and powerful nature is and how

25、rm.CThe food we eat every day keeps us alive, but it can also bring big health and environmental costs. A recent study finds that small shifts in the food choices could have great benefits to both health and the planet.Because many foods with a high health burden, including processed meats or red me

26、ats, have high environmental costs. Reducing just about 10 percent of a persons daily intake can cut a persons food-based environmental footprint by over 30 percent. Between growing it, packaging it, moving it around, cooking it, and often wasting it, food production makes up about one-fifth to one-

27、third of all annual greenhouse gas emissions globally. For an average household, food makes up about as much of the greenhouse gas footprint as the electricity.To learn how to reduce negative impacts of food production and consumption on the planet and the body, researchers first assessed damage rel

28、ated to food. Over the past few decades, scientists have developed ways of doing “life cycle analyses” for specific items and assigned them a hard number to show their environmental impact. Meanwhile, public health scientists were doing similar analyses for human bodies. They carefully examined the

29、links between food and health. They concluded that agriculture is a huge piece of the climate puzzle, and agriculture, food, and diet are all linked. We cant stop eating, so what should we do? For some climate challenges, there are relatively straightforward ways. For example, renewable energy sourc

30、es can already replace much of the energy needed to power buildings, cars, and more.Theres no substitute for food, but shifting what we eat is possible. If all people on the planet are vegans, greenhouse gas emissions from the food system could be cut by more than half; a planet of vegetarians would

31、 trim food emissions by 44 percent.8. Why does the author list the figures in paragraph 2?A. To highlight the harm of gas emission.B. To advocate the consumption of red meats.C. To show the environmental impact of food.D. To illustrate the necessity of cutting food waste.9. What relationship do scie

32、ntists show exactly with “life cycle analyses”?A. Food and human bodies.B. Climate change and health.C. Agriculture and human development.D. Food production and the environment.10. What does the text suggest people do about food emissions?A. Eat whatever you want.B. Use fossil energy sources.C. Redu

33、ce food consumption.D. Consume more vegetables.11. What does the underlined word “trim” mean in paragraph 5?A. Reduce.B. Release.C. Affect.D. Improve.DTraditionally, the work of the naturalist has been one of hard work and extreme patience, involving going out into the field, observing or capturing

34、animals and counting them. Now, two teams of scientists have developed a ground-breaking technique to monitor the location of animals on land by collecting their DNA from thin air.Bohmann, a professor at the University of Copenhagen, led her team to test whether airborne environmental DNA (eDNA) cou

35、ld be used to detect different animal species by collecting samples at the Copenhagen Zoo. They used a fan-like device to suck air, and then extracted the DNA from the air and sequenced (测序) it. Once processed, the DNA sequences were compared to a reference database to identify the animal species. M

36、eanwhile, a second team led by Elizabeth Clare from Queen Mary University of London was conducting a similar experiment at Hamerton Zoo Park in Cambridgeshire. Both teams detected the presence of animals living at the zoos. They also identified animals living in the surrounding areas, including the

37、Eurasian hedgehog which is endangered in the UK.“Collecting and sequencing airborne eDNA has the potential to transform the way natural ecosystems are studied and surveyed,” says Clare. In the future, it could be used to monitor how species are changing their distributions in response to climate cha

38、nge, or detect the presence of insects and species in sensitive environments.Bohmann explains the challenges that ecologists face without this kind of technique. “Earlier in my career, I went to Madagascar hoping to see lots of lemurs (狐猴). I rarely saw them. Instead, I mostly just heard them jumpin

39、g their way through trees,”she says.“For many species, it can be a lot of work to detect them by direct observation, especially if they live in closed or inaccessible habitats.”The technique could shape the way scientists map species and could potentially help them remove the need for camera traps,

40、in-person monitoring and intensive field work. While there is still much to do, such as improving battery life of the device to develop the technique, the scientists behind the technique have already made history.12. What is the new technique intended for?A. Counting the number of animals.B. Observi

41、ng the behavior of animals.C. Detecting the presence of animals.D. Changing the habitats of animals.13. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?A. The advantages of a fan-like device.B. The tests of the new eDNA technique.C. The importance of protecting animals.D. The methods of collecting eDNA samples.14.

42、 Why are Bohmanns words mentioned in paragraph 4?A. To prove the danger of naturalists work.B. To stress the significance of the new technique.C. To show the difficulties of studying ecosystems.D. To present the impact of observations on animals.15 What will scientists probably do next?A. Develop ca

43、mera trap technology.B. Apply the technique on a large scale.C. Conduct more in-person monitoring.D. Extend the lifespan of the devices battery.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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Public transport is part of everyday life. When we can move around with ease, we dont jus

44、t benefit as individuals we benefit as a society. _16_At first the idea might seem unworkable, but we just need to cast our eyes to one of the cities that have already performed it. _17_ The citys residents pay a small fee for a pass that gives them free access to public transport, but tourists stil

45、l need full payment. In one sense, this supports the citys transport budget, but it also means there is still a need for expensive ticketing equipment. Wouldnt it be simpler to remove ticketing altogether and instead charge a tourist tax for overnight stays?In Luxembourg, from 2020, ministers decide

46、d to cancel fares on trains, trams and buses to stop the deepening gap between rich and poor. _18_ In 2019, Delhis chief minister announced free bus rides for women to address the fact that women were far less likely to be travelling on buses and trains in the first place. This plan has been rolled

47、out in a region with a 16.9 million population, which means that free transport isnt only workable for small cities._19_ Bosses have the potential to use it as an opportunity to cut staffing. Such concerns made transport unions oppose free travel. Passenger campaign groups should work with transport

48、 unions to make a dual (双重的) demand for free urban transport. Ticket clerks who currently perform spot-checks should be trained to provide assistance to anyone who requires help on board. _20_ But as well as the potential for reducing car usage, it could help make public transport safe, secure and accessible for all.A. Free travel is good for local tourism.B. The staff are against free
