1．Charities These days there are thousands of charities around the world and it is possible to donate money to help people，animals and places.
Mencap is a charity which is dedicated to fighting against discrimination towards those people who suffer from any kind of laming disability.Most of Mencap's work is campaigning.People with learning disabilities are disadvantaged because of discrimination and lack of funding for community care Mencap raises awareness by working at local，national and European levels to deal with those issues that affect people with learning disabiljye.aiies.It also provides services of education，housing and employment as well as support and advice for families and cares of sufferers.
EveryChild is a relatively new charity which was created in 1983 EveryChild identifies the needs of a particular community and then sets up projects to ensure that children in these communities have basic rights such as healthcare，education，social services and community development.EveryChild sets up the projects so that they are self running.The organization then moves on to new projects，leaving things in the hands of locals.
The RSPCA（Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals）is the first organization dedicated to the well-being of animals anywhere in the world.The SPCA was set up in London in 1824.At this time it was considered strange that people should care about cruelty to animals.In 1840 Queen Victoria gave the organization permission to be called a royal society.The RSPCA.These days there are almost two hundred branches in the UK.
The TBG（Tidy Britain Group）is an independent national charity fighting to improve the quality of the local environment.They aim to get everyone involved in doing their bit to keep Britain clean.The work of the TBG is done mainly through campaigning.Volunteers work closely with governments and businesses to organize educational programs designed to raise awareness of the problems The TBG's sister organization.Going for Green，concentrates on pollution issues.The two Croup have the same chief executive.

2．The dark depths of the oceans are often called Earth's final frontier，but one researcher says the dirt beneath our feet is just as mysterious."We know more about the surface of Mars than we do about either oceans or soils on Earth，" says Mare Kramer，who thinks getting more dirt on dirt could produce some huge benefits for the entire planet.
In a study published in November，Kramer，an assistant professor of environmental chemistry at Washington State University Vancouver，digs deep into what scientists know about how soil stores carbon，and explores some strategies for pulling carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.Researchers know carbon dioxide can be absorbed by tees，soil microorganisms and crops.Kramer's study shows that it can also be stored in soil minerals over a foot beneath the surface.
The research Kramer and other scientists have been building upon could help them tailor farming and other practices to get carbon out of the atmosphere.In Kramer's earlier study in 2015，farmers were able to raise the carbon levels in their soil to that of native forest soils in just six years.
Having dirt clean the air is an appealing paradox （矛盾現(xiàn)象），but some scientists are throwing mud on that pattern.Researchers at the University of California，Irvine，found the soil's ability to absorb carbon was wildly overestimated.Another warning：Soil，though it can store carbon，has also been found to release carbon dioxide as its temperature rises.In the 1990s，scientists heated the ground of forest plots by several degrees and found that the carbon released from the soil increased greatly.
Kramer notes that the long range study looked at the top layer of soil，which interacts with the atmosphere more readily，while his most recent study dealt with soils at least I foot beneath the ground.The minerals in that layer allow it to hold on to carbon more persistently.
In June，the United Nations said the world population is expected to reach 9.8 billion by 2050.Increasing our knowledge of soil will help farmers grow more crops effectively，improve water retention（保留） in the soil and keep carbon in the soil，Kramer says.
（1）What do Marc Kramer's words in Paragraph 1 suggest？
A．Mars is still a mystery to us.
B．Exploring Mars is of great significance.
C．We actually know little about the soil on Earth.
D．Oceans and soils on Earth are equally important.
（2）How do researchers at the University of California look at Kramer's study？
A．They couldn't agree more.
B．They think the finding is convincing.
C．They think more research should be done.
D．They have different opinions from Kramer's.
（3）What makes his latest study different from previous studies according to Kramer？
A．The research method.
B．The targeted depth of soil.
C．The way he stores carbon.
D．The theory behind the research.
（4）Which of the following may Kramer agree with？
A．We can't raise the carbon levels in the soil.
B．The top layer of soil can hold carbon persistently.
C．A better knowledge of soil may increase food production.
D．Warm temperatures may cause soil to release more carbon.組卷：1引用：1難度：0.5 -
3．Listening has been critical to the career of Richard Mullender，who was a British police officer for 30 years.Eventually he became a hostage negotiator，dealing with everything from crisis interventions to international kidnaps.When he left the force in 2007，he realised that his skills might be applicable in the business world.So he set up a firm called the Listening Institute.
Many people think that good listening is about nodding your head or keeping eye contact.But that is not really listening，Mr Mullender argues.A good listener is always looking for facts，emotions and indications of the speaker's values.And when it comes to a negotiation，people are looking for an outcome.The aim of listening is to find out what the other side is trying to achieve.
The mistake many people make is to ask too many questions，rather than letting the other person talk.The listener's focus should be on analysis.If you are trying to persuade someone to do something，you need to know what their beliefs are.If someone is upset，you need to assess their emotional state.Of course，a listener needs to speak occasionally.One approach is to make an assessment of what the other person is telling you and then check it with them.That gives the other party a sense that they are being understood.The fundamental aim is to build up a relationship so the other person likes you and trusts you，Mr Mullender says.
The pandemic has meant that most business conversations now take place on the phone or online.Some might think this makes listening more difficult；it is harder to pick up the cues that people reveal in their facial expressions and body language.But Mr Mullender says that too much is made of body language.It is much easier to understand someone if you can hear them but not see them，than if you can see but not hear them.
（1）What do we know about Mr.Mullender in paragraph 1？
A．He protected kids internationally.
B．He helped prevent potential dangers.
C．He ensured security of the British police.
D．He founded a company before leaving the army.
（2）What is the aim of listening in negotiations？
A．To look for facts and emotions.
B．To show approval by nodding head.
C．To indicate the speaker's values.
D．To find out what the speaker wants.
（3）What is a proper way for listener o follow？
A．Comment occasionally.
B．Speak as little as possible.
C．Be in the speaker's shoes.
D．Judge the speaker's content.
（4）What does the underlined word "cues" mean in paragraph 4？
A．expressions
B．clues
C．differences
D．secrets組卷：2引用：1難度：0.5

9．Believe in Miracles My friend Anette and I had decided to go to a writer's conference over Valentine's Day weekend in Livermore，California.We were taking a mini vacation together and couldn't have been more excited.We wanted to get there the day before the conference and settle into our hotel room.
The weather forecast was predicting high winds and rain，so we decided to take an early morning train and then connect with a city bus to our hotel.We arrived early enough to enjoy breakfast in the hotel.We even had the good fortune to be able to get our room.All was going jye.aill.We were off to a perfect start.
Once in our room，the terrible storm hit the earth!The wind and rain made staying in the only sensible option.As lunchtime approached，we decided to try a phone app that would bring almost any restaurant's food to us.We decided on hamburgers from a well-known chain.
The food-delivery app promised a 45-minute wait time.Forty-five minutes came and went，then an hour，and then an hour and a half.After two hours，I called the restaurant.
They explained that our hamburgers were under a heat lamp the entire time，just waiting for the driver.We canceled the order and decided to go out in an Uber car to continue our quest for hamburgers.
The front-desk manager suggested a restaurant that had great hamburgers.So we took the Uber car and set off.But when we arrived at the restaurant，we found it was closed due to the bad weather.And our car had already left.We stood outside the building on that miserably cold and wet day，trying to decide what to do next.Of course，the solution was easy：Just order another Uber car.
I began digging in my purse for my phone，but it wasn't there!
