If you have ever had the flu, you know just how down and out you can feel, and it is important to do what you can to lower the number of days spent sick and in bed, including taking flu medicine. If you have mild symptoms, you may not need to take flu medicine. However, the medicine is recommended for certain groups of people. These include:
●People who are in the hospital with the flu
●People who aren’t in the hospital but are very sick with the flu
●People who are at high risk because of flu complications (并发症)
The Food and Drug Administration has approved four antiviral drugs for the flu. Each flu medicine is a little bit different, but they work in mostly the same way.

●Relenza is an inhaled (吸入的) powder that is approved to treat the flu for people aged 7 years and older. This flu medicine tends to be less common because of how it is given. Side effects of Relenza include diarrhea, and feeling sick.
●Peramivir is injected through Ⅳ needle and is approved for people aged 6 months and older. This flu medicine tends to be less common since it is given as an Ⅳ infusion, usually in the hospital. Side effects of Peramivir include diarrhea, and sleeplessness.

Two years ago, my 11-year-old son sat me down for a talk. “Mom, it’s time.” he said. “Hear me out: It’s time we got actual TV. And you need an iPhone.”
This funny conversation two years ago marked a shift in our relationship. Perhaps for the first time, I began to really listen to my son’s opinion about our home technology. Since his reasoning was sensible and his suggestions within budget, I took his advice and was pleasantly surprised with the results.
I’d known for a while that my son understands technology better than I do. On airplanes, he grabbed my phone to put it in airplane mode. He wired the speakers in our house. After something was stolen from our front yard, he picked out, set up, and now monitors our security camera. When my computer died, I took him shopping with me.
As a teenager now, he has a busy social life, with skateboarding, basketball, and online gaming with his friends. I see our time together decreasing and our shared interests shrinking. That’s why I jumped at the chance when a friend mentioned writing technology reviews. I’m a writer, but I’d need a partner who has more tech knowledge than me. When I presented the idea to my teen, he immediately accepted
It’s changed our relationship in surprising ways. Where he used to get annoyed quickly at my technical ignorance, he’s learned to be more patient and explain things to me in a way that I can convey to an unknowing audience. The parent-child dynamic is not only changed; it’s even slightly reversed — he’s leading me. I’m asking him for help and advice. My son has risen to the occasion. He’s taking it seriously, and to watch him mature in this way is an honor. As someone who’s not much of a reader, he now searches instruction book. Without any prompting, he’s even emailed and called, yes, made an actual phone call to customer service or tech support when sample products weren’t working as expected.
I never imagined being a tech reviewer, but it’s proved to be a valuable way to learn from, work with and enjoy time with my teen.
24. What did the writer think of her son’s advice
A. It was unaffordable. B. It was beyond reach.
C. It sounded reasonable. D. It sounded surprising.
25. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3
A. Prove her son’s better mastery of technology.
B. Describe their close parent-child relationship.
C. Give examples of her son’s interest in airplanes.
D. Express her satisfaction of her son’s timely help.
26 Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “reversed” in Paragraph 5
A. Unrealistic. B. Opposite. C. Negative. D. Common.
27. What makes the writer feel honored
A. Her son’s patience with their relationship.
B. Her son’s attitudes to some unknown audiences.
C. Her son’s growth and serious attitude to the work.
D. Her son’s desire to change the parent-child dynamic.
C
Fire has always been part of California’s landscape. But long before the disastrous forest fires of recent years, native American tribes（部落）held controlled burns each year. Those burns cleared out underbrush and encouraged new plant growth. Now, government officials have realized tackling the fire problem will mean bringing back “good fire”, much like California’s tribes once did.
When western settlers removed tribes from their land and banned tribal ceremonies, cultural burning disappeared. Instead, authorities focused on quickly putting out wildfires.
But what the authorities did only made California’s wildfire risk worse. Without regular burns, the landscape grew thick with plants that dry out every summer. These dry plants are kindling（引火物）for the fires that have recently destroyed California communities. Climate change and warming temperatures make those landscapes even easier to catch fire.
So, tribal leaders and government officials are forming new partnerships. There are hundreds of thousands of acres that need careful burning to reduce the risk of extreme wildfires. Tribes are eager to gain access to those ancestral lands to restore traditional burning. Before 1800, the tribes used low-grade fires to shape the landscape, encouraging certain plants to grow both for tribal use and to attract game.
The arrival of western settlers dramatically changed the ways of fire management. “They came with their concepts of being afraid of fire,” a tribal leader says. “They didn’t understand fire in the sense of a tool. And they didn’t understand its role to help generate the land. So they brought suppression（压制）”.
Tribal leaders have been reaching out to ecologists, researchers and fire agencies about the importance of their knowledge. In Northern California, the Karuk and Yurok tribes have partnered with the Forest Service to manage land for traditional values and wildfire management.
28. What have government officials realized about the native tribes
A. The tribes’ old practice is useful.
B. The tribes are causing more forest fires.
C. It’s impossible to prevent the tribes burning forests.
D. It’s necessary to remove the tribes from where they live.
29. What is the way western settlers deal with forest fires
A. Fire suppression. B. Reshaping land.
C. Cultural burning. D. Removing kindling.
30. What do the tribes think of fire
A. They think it threatening. B. They consider it as natural.
C. They think it can be beneficial. D. They consider it harmful to the land.
31. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. Western Settlers Brought Wrong Ideas of Fire Control
B. Wildfires Are Becoming Increasingly Serious in California
C. Native American Tribes Restore Their Traditional Ceremonies
D. California Looks to What Tribes Have Known to Manage Wildfires
D
In a global report of lake color, researchers estimate that roughly one-third of Earth’s lakes are blue. But, should average summer air temperatures rise by a few degrees, some of those clear waters could turn a cloudy green or brown, the Learn reports in the Sept. 28 Geophysical Research Letters.
The changing colors could change how people use those waters and offer clues about the stability of lake pared with blue lakes, green or brown lakes have more algae (藻类) and organic matter, says Xiao Yang, a hydrologist (水文专家) at Southern Methodist University.
Lakes in places with average summer air temperatures that were below 19° Celsius were more likely to be blue than lakes with warmer summers. That’s because warmer water helps algae bloom more, which changes the properties of the water.
Yang and colleagues used satellite photos from 2013 to 2020 to analyze the color of more than 85,000 lakes around the world. Because storms and seasons can temporarily affect a lake’s color, the researchers focused on the most frequent color observed for each lake over the seven-year period. The researchers also created an interactive online map that can be used to explore the colors of these lakes. The approach is “super cool,” the researchers say. These satellite data are “just so powerful.”
If some lakes do become less blue, people will probably lose some of the resources they have come to value, O’Reilly says, who is an ecologist at Illinois State University. Lakes are often used for drinking water, food or recreation. If the water has more algae, it could be unappealing for play or more costly to clean for drinking. But the color changes wouldn’t necessarily mean that the lakes are any less healthy. “Humans don’t value lots of algae in a lake, but if you’re a certain type of fish species, you might be like ‘this is great’” O’Reilly says.
32. What can we learn about the lakes’ color change according to the text
A. It is caused by water pollution. B. It does harm to the growth of algae.
C. It results from the temperature increase. D. It can disturb the stability of lake ecosystems.
33. How was the research conducted
A. By doing field investigation. B. By researching previous studies.
C. By analyzing long-term satellite data. D. By observing the daily color of the lakes.
34. Which word best describes O’Reilly’s attitude to the color change
A. Objective. B. Doubtful. C. Unconcerned. D. Favourable.
35. What’s the authors purpose in writing the text
A. To call on people to protect lakes. B. To introduce a new research method.
C. To present the outcome of a research. D. To provide solutions to lakes’ color change.

After, all your sleuthing (侦查), you come to the conclusion that you have found some fake news. ____39____ If it is a post or message from someone you know, you can reach out to them and let them know it’s not entirely accurate. It’s better to do this by politely messaging them privately rather than leaving a public comment if it’s a post on social media.

On a Sunday afternoon, Kiana French was having fun fishing with her father and younger sister, not knowing the next minute, they would struggle not to sink in the freezing water. Their 12-foot boat was taking in water little by little, and the wind was picking up. Her father, Gary French, hurried to operate the engine, while Kiana,16, was in the middle with Cierrah, her sister, frightened but still able to keep calm.
Kiana asked Cierrah to take off one of her cowboy boots, with which she got some of the water out. Hard as she tried, that little effort would not help stop the boat sinking. Moments later, the unthinkable happened. The boat was full of water and then it flipped over. Kiana and her sister were dumped in the water. Their father, who had had a surgery six months ago, managed not to be thrown into the water but seemed to have great pain in the chest due to the sudden change.
Kiana quickly put on her life jacket and saw Cierrah’s and her father’s life jackets floating away. She reacted quickly to get them back and held her sister onto the boat. They were so far out in the middle of the lake that they could not see the shore clearly. What’s worse.it was getting harder to stay above the waves. Their father swam over and hugged his two girls. Cierrah crying silently. Kiana heard her beloved sister murmur, “I can’t feel my feet.”
Kiana knew the only thing to do was to get to shore herself and find help. She looked up at her father, exchanging a concerned glance, turned round and swam as hard as she could towards the shore
Fighting against the strong currents and cold wind, she screamed for help at the top of her lungs every three minutes or so. A strong wind blew, and she looked back only to see her sister’s and father’s heads bobbing(浮动)in the water. She burst into tears, thinking her sister and dad were dead, because she was taking too long.
注意:1.续写词数应150左右;

With desperate tears she suddenly spotted a boat with a figure walking on it

【答案】18. C 19. A 20. B
【解析】
【原文】W: Good afternoon, everyone. I’m here to offer you some tips on public speaking. One of the worst mistakes you can make as a public speaker is talking too long. It doesn’t matter if your entire speech is good and the audience come away with information that will change their lives. If you talk too long, they will leave saying that speaker just wouldn’t quit. Don’t let this happen to you. Say what you have to say and sit down. Before you do, give them a well-thought-out closing. The last thing you say is generally what the audience remembers most. Just like your opening, your closing doesn’t have to be humorous. It could be challenging, thoughtful, or it could retell your point in a different way. Please, at some time during your talk, ask the audience to do something. Many a great talk goes no further than the walls of the meeting-room because the audience isn’t moved to action. If you haven’ t asked them to do something by now, the closing is your last chance.

If you have ever had the flu, you know just how down and out you can feel, and it is important to do what you can to lower the number of days spent sick and in bed, including taking flu medicine. If you have mild symptoms, you may not need to take flu medicine. However, the medicine is recommended for certain groups of people. These include:
●People who are in the hospital with the flu
●People who aren’t in the hospital but are very sick with the flu
●People who are at high risk because of flu complications (并发症)
The Food and Drug Administration has approved four antiviral drugs for the flu. Each flu medicine is a little bit different, but they work in mostly the same way.
●Oseltamivir is a pill or liquid given by mouth that is approved to treat the flu for people 14 days and older. This is a common flu medicine. Side effects of Oseltamivir include feeling sick, vomiting, and diarrhea.
●Xofluza is a single-dose pill or liquid given by mouth and is approved for people aged 5 years and older. Side effects of Xofluza include coughing, feeling sick, and diarrhea.
●Relenza is an inhaled (吸入的) powder that is approved to treat the flu for people aged 7 years and older. This flu medicine tends to be less common because of how it is given. Side effects of Relenza include diarrhea, and feeling sick.
●Peramivir is injected through Ⅳ needle and is approved for people aged 6 months and older. This flu medicine tends to be less common since it is given as an Ⅳ infusion, usually in the hospital. Side effects of Peramivir include diarrhea, and sleeplessness.
21. Who need to take the flu medicine
A. People in the hospital. B. People easier to get a cold.
C. People greatly affected by flu. D. People with slight flu symptoms.
22. In what way is Relenza special
A. Its high price. B. The way it is taken.
C. Its special effect. D. People who can take it.
23. What do the four medicines have in common
A. They are suitable for babies. B. They are common flu medicines.
C. They are given in the same way. D. They have similar side effects.
【答案】21. C 22. B 23. D

Two years ago, my 11-year-old son sat me down for a talk. “Mom, it’s time.” he said. “Hear me out: It’s time we got actual TV. And you need an iPhone.”
This funny conversation two years ago marked a shift in our relationship. Perhaps for the first time, I began to really listen to my son’s opinion about our home technology. Since his reasoning was sensible and his suggestions within budget, I took his advice and was pleasantly surprised with the results.
I’d known for a while that my son understands technology better than I do. On airplanes, he grabbed my phone to put it in airplane mode. He wired the speakers in our house. After something was stolen from our front yard, he picked out, set up, and now monitors our security camera. When my computer died, I took him shopping with me.
As a teenager now, he has a busy social life, with skateboarding, basketball, and online gaming with his friends. I see our time together decreasing and our shared interests shrinking. That’s why I jumped at the chance when a friend mentioned writing technology reviews. I’m a writer, but I’d need a partner who has more tech knowledge than me. When I presented the idea to my teen, he immediately accepted
It’s changed our relationship in surprising ways. Where he used to get annoyed quickly at my technical ignorance, he’s learned to be more patient and explain things to me in a way that I can convey to an unknowing audience. The parent-child dynamic is not only changed; it’s even slightly reversed — he’s leading me. I’m asking him for help and advice. My son has risen to the occasion. He’s taking it seriously, and to watch him mature in this way is an honor. As someone who’s not much of a reader, he now searches instruction book. Without any prompting, he’s even emailed and called, yes, made an actual phone call to customer service or tech support when sample products weren’t working as expected.
I never imagined being a tech reviewer, but it’s proved to be a valuable way to learn from, work with and enjoy time with my teen.
24. What did the writer think of her son’s advice
A. It was unaffordable. B. It was beyond reach.
C. It sounded reasonable. D. It sounded surprising.
25. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3
A. Prove her son’s better mastery of technology.
B. Describe their close parent-child relationship.
C. Give examples of her son’s interest in airplanes.
D. Express her satisfaction of her son’s timely help.
26. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “reversed” in Paragraph 5
A. Unrealistic. B. Opposite. C. Negative. D. Common.
27. What makes the writer feel honored
A. Her son’s patience with their relationship.
B. Her son’s attitudes to some unknown audiences.
C. Her son’s growth and serious attitude to the work.
D. Her son’s desire to change the parent-child dynamic.
【答案】24. C 25. A 26. B 27. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者与儿子之间的关系通过科技方面的事情发生了变化。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Since his reasoning was sensible and his suggestions within budget, I took his advice and was pleasantly surprised with the results.(由于他的论证合理，而且他的建议在预算范围内，我采纳了他的建议，并对结果感到惊喜。)”可知，作者觉得儿子的建议听起来很合理。故选C。
【25题详解】
段落大意题。根据第三段第一句“I’d known for a while that my son understands technology better than I do.(我早就知道我儿子比我更懂技术。)”可知，作者早就知道儿子比自己更懂技术，接下来“On airplanes, he grabbed my phone to put it in airplane mode. He wired the speakers in our house. After something was stolen from our front yard, he picked out, set up, and now monitors our security camera. When my computer died. I took him shopping with me.(在飞机上，他抓住我的手机，把它调到飞机模式。他给我们家的扬声器接线。在我们前院有东西被盗后，他挑选、安装并监视我们的摄像头。当我的电脑坏了。我带他去购物。)”作者通过举例论证了儿子比自己更懂技术，由此可推测出，本段主要论证了作者的儿子对技术更加精通。故选A。
【26题详解】
词义猜测题。根据破折号后的“he’s leading me(他在引导我)”并结合作者与儿子的母子关系可知，作为母亲，作者应该是儿子的导师，给儿子指导，而现在儿子在引导作者，由此可推测出，这里表达的是俩人的关系颠倒了，reversed意为“颠倒，相反”，与opposite(相反的)意思最接近。故选B。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中的“My son has risen to the occasion. He’s taking it seriously, and to watch him mature in this way is an honor. As someone who’s not much of a reader, he now searches instruction book. Without any prompting, he’s even emailed and called, yes, made an actual phone call to customer service or tech support when sample products weren’t working as expected.(我儿子已应付自如。他很认真，看着他以这种方式成熟是一种荣幸。作为一个不怎么读书的人，他现在搜索说明书。在没有任何提示的情况下，当产品样品没有按预期工作时，他甚至会发电子邮件和打电话给客户服务或技术支持。)”可推知，作者的儿子变得成熟了，而且对待工作非常认真，这让作者感到很荣幸。故选C。
C
Fire has always been part of California’s landscape. But long before the disastrous forest fires of recent years, native American tribes（部落）held controlled burns each year. Those burns cleared out underbrush and encouraged new plant growth. Now, government officials have realized tackling the fire problem will mean bringing back “good fire”, much like California’s tribes once did.
When western settlers removed tribes from their land and banned tribal ceremonies, cultural burning disappeared. Instead, authorities focused on quickly putting out wildfires.
But what the authorities did only made California’s wildfire risk worse. Without regular burns, the landscape grew thick with plants that dry out every summer. These dry plants are kindling（引火物）for the fires that have recently destroyed California communities. Climate change and warming temperatures make those landscapes even easier to catch fire.
So, tribal leaders and government officials are forming new partnerships. There are hundreds of thousands of acres that need careful burning to reduce the risk of extreme wildfires. Tribes are eager to gain access to those ancestral lands to restore traditional burning. Before 1800, the tribes used low-grade fires to shape the landscape, encouraging certain plants to grow both for tribal use and to attract game.
The arrival of western settlers dramatically changed the ways of fire management. “They came with their concepts of being afraid of fire,” a tribal leader says. “They didn’t understand fire in the sense of a tool. And they didn’t understand its role to help generate the land. So they brought suppression（压制）”.
Tribal leaders have been reaching out to ecologists, researchers and fire agencies about the importance of their knowledge. In Northern California, the Karuk and Yurok tribes have partnered with the Forest Service to manage land for traditional values and wildfire management.
28. What have government officials realized about the native tribes
A. The tribes’ old practice is useful.
B The tribes are causing more forest fires.
C. It’s impossible to prevent the tribes burning forests.
D. It’s necessary to remove the tribes from where they live.
29. What is the way western settlers deal with forest fires
A. Fire suppression. B. Reshaping land.
C. Cultural burning. D. Removing kindling.
30. What do the tribes think of fire
A. They think it threatening. B. They consider it as natural.
C. They think it can be beneficial. D. They consider it harmful to the land.
31. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. Western Settlers Brought Wrong Ideas of Fire Control
B. Wildfires Are Becoming Increasingly Serious in California
C. Native American Tribes Restore Their Traditional Ceremonies
D. California Looks to What Tribes Have Known to Manage Wildfires
【答案】28. A 29. A 30. C 31. D
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了加州有关部门正在与土著部落合作，打算采用部落原有的方法控制森林火灾。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Now, government officials have realized tackling the fire problem will mean bringing back “good fire”, much like California’s tribes once did.”（现在，政府官员已经意识到，解决火灾问题将意味着恢复“好火”，就像加州的部落曾经做的那样。）可知加州部落的古老习俗是有用处的。故选A项。
29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Instead, authorities focused on quickly putting out wildfires.”（相反，当局专注于迅速扑灭野火。）可知西方定居者处理森林火灾的方式是迅速扑灭野火。故选A项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“They didn’t understand fire in the sense of a tool. And they didn’t understand its role to help generate the land. So they brought suppression.”（他们不了解火是一种工具，也不了解它在土地开发中的作用，所以他们进行了镇压。）可知，部落人认为火是一种工具，火可能是有益处的。故选C项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，文章主要介绍了加州有关部门正在与土著部落合作，打算采用部落原有的方法控制森林火灾的这一情况，所以“加州参考部落管理野火的经验”可以作为文章标题。故选D项。

In a global report of lake color, researchers estimate that roughly one-third of Earth’s lakes are blue. But, should average summer air temperatures rise by a few degrees, some of those clear waters could turn a cloudy green or brown, the Learn reports in the Sept. 28 Geophysical Research Letters.
The changing colors could change how people use those waters and offer clues about the stability of lake pared with blue lakes, green or brown lakes have more algae (藻类) and organic matter, says Xiao Yang, a hydrologist (水文专家) at Southern Methodist University.
Lakes in places with average summer air temperatures that were below 19° Celsius were more likely to be blue than lakes with warmer summers. That’s because warmer water helps algae bloom more, which changes the properties of the water.
Yang and colleagues used satellite photos from 2013 to 2020 to analyze the color of more than 85,000 lakes around the world. Because storms and seasons can temporarily affect a lake’s color, the researchers focused on the most frequent color observed for each lake over the seven-year period. The researchers also created an interactive online map that can be used to explore the colors of these lakes. The approach is “super cool,” the researchers say. These satellite data are “just so powerful.”
If some lakes do become less blue, people will probably lose some of the resources they have come to value, O’Reilly says, who is an ecologist at Illinois State University. Lakes are often used for drinking water, food or recreation. If the water has more algae, it could be unappealing for play or more costly to clean for drinking. But the color changes wouldn’t necessarily mean that the lakes are any less healthy. “Humans don’t value lots of algae in a lake, but if you’re a certain type of fish species, you might be like ‘this is great’” O’Reilly says.
32. What can we learn about the lakes’ color change according to the text
A. It is caused by water pollution. B. It does harm to the growth of algae.
C. It results from the temperature increase. D. It can disturb the stability of lake ecosystems.
33 How was the research conducted
A. By doing field investigation. B. By researching previous studies.
C. By analyzing long-term satellite data. D. By observing the daily color of the lakes.
34. Which word best describes O’Reilly’s attitude to the color change
A. Objective. B. Doubtful. C. Unconcerned. D. Favourable.
35. What’s the authors purpose in writing the text
A. To call on people to protect lakes. B. To introduce a new research method.
C. To present the outcome of a research. D. To provide solutions to lakes’ color change.
【答案】32. C 33. C 34. A 35. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要向人们介绍了一项研究的结果：在一份关于湖泊颜色的全球报告中，研究人员估计地球上大约三分之一的湖泊是蓝色的。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“But, should average summer air temperatures rise by a few degrees, some of those clear waters could turn a cloudy green or brown”（但是，如果夏季平均气温上升几度，一些清澈的海水可能会变成暗绿色或棕色）可知，湖水颜色的改变是由于海水温度的升高，故选C。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Yang and colleagues used satellite photos from 2013 to 2020 to analyze the color of more than 85,000 lakes around the world. Because storms and seasons can temporarily affect a lake’s color, the researchers focused on the most frequent color observed for each lake over the seven-year period. The researchers also created an interactive online map that can be used to explore the colors of these lakes. ”（杨和他的同事利用从2013年到2020年的卫星照片分析了世界上超过85,000个湖泊的颜色。由于风暴和季节可以暂时影响湖泊的颜色，研究人员将重点放在七年间观察到的每个湖泊最常见的颜色上。研究人员还创建了一个互动的在线地图，可以用来探索这些湖泊的颜色。）可知，在研究中，研究人员通过分析长达七年的卫星照片，进而得出了研究结果。故选C。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“If some lakes do become less blue, people will probably lose some of the resources they have come to value, O’Reilly says, who is an ecologist at Illinois State University. Lakes are often used for drinking water, food or recreation. If the water has more algae, it could be unappealing for play or more costly to clean for drinking. But the color changes wouldn’t necessarily mean that the lakes are any less healthy. “Humans don’t value lots of algae in a lake, but if you’re a certain type of fish species, you might be like ‘this is great’” O’Reilly says.”（奥莱利是伊利诺伊州立大学的生态学家，他说，如果一些湖泊的确变得不那么蓝了，人们可能会失去一些他们已经开始重视的资源。湖泊通常用于饮用水，食物或娱乐。如果水中有更多的藻类，那么在湖泊中娱乐就没有了吸引力，或者要获得清洁的饮用水的成本更高。但是颜色的变化并不意味着湖泊就不那么健康了。奥莱利说：“人类并不看重湖中的大量藻类，但如果你是某种鱼类，你可能会说‘这真是太棒了’。”）可知，在奥莱利看来，湖泊的颜色的变化未必就是一种灾难，要视情况而言。所以对于湖水颜色的变化，奥莱利的态度是客观的。故选A。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。结合第一段“In a global report of lake color, researchers estimate that roughly one-third of Earth’s lakes are blue. But, should average summer air temperatures rise by a few degrees, some of those clear waters could turn a cloudy green or brown, the Learn reports in the Sept. 28 Geophysical Research Letters.”（在一份全球湖泊颜色报告中，研究人员估计大约三分之一的地球湖泊是蓝色的。但是，如果夏季平均气温上升几度，那么一些清澈的海水可能会变成暗绿色或棕色，Learn 在9月28日的《地球物理研究通讯》中报道。）可知，文章主要向人们介绍了一项研究的结果。故选C。

____38____ If the article comes from a reputable news source, it’s likely that it was written by a professional journalist who practiced due diligence when sourcing their information. If the article is not from an official news website, where is it from Check if it has been written by a credible expert on the topic, or if it has been written for a trusted organization.
After, all your sleuthing (侦查), you come to the conclusion that you have found some fake news. ____39____ If it is a post or message from someone you know, you can reach out to them and let them know it’s not entirely accurate. It’s better to do this by politely messaging them privately rather than leaving a public comment if it’s a post on social media.
Studies suggest that fake news spreads faster than real news. ____40____
A. Don’t share it.
B. Fake news is not new.
C. Delete it immediately.
D. Make sure to check who wrote the news piece.
E. Check when the news was originally published.
F. Often the facts are buried deeper within the article.
G. It’s important to take a moment to process any information you come across online.

On a Sunday afternoon, Kiana French was having fun fishing with her father and younger sister, not knowing the next minute, they would struggle not to sink in the freezing water. Their 12-foot boat was taking in water little by little, and the wind was picking up. Her father, Gary French, hurried to operate the engine, while Kiana,16, was in the middle with Cierrah, her sister, frightened but still able to keep calm.
Kiana asked Cierrah to take off one of her cowboy boots, with which she got some of the water out. Hard as she tried, that little effort would not help stop the boat sinking. Moments later, the unthinkable happened. The boat was full of water and then it flipped over. Kiana and her sister were dumped in the water. Their father, who had had a surgery six months ago, managed not to be thrown into the water but seemed to have great pain in the chest due to the sudden change.
Kiana quickly put on her life jacket and saw Cierrah’s and her father’s life jackets floating away. She reacted quickly to get them back and held her sister onto the boat. They were so far out in the middle of the lake that they could not see the shore clearly. What’s worse.it was getting harder to stay above the waves. Their father swam over and hugged his two girls. Cierrah crying silently. Kiana heard her beloved sister murmur, “I can’t feel my feet.”
Kiana knew the only thing to do was to get to shore herself and find help. She looked up at her father, exchanging a concerned glance, turned round and swam as hard as she could towards the shore
Fighting against the strong currents and cold wind, she screamed for help at the top of her lungs every three minutes or so. A strong wind blew, and she looked back only to see her sister’s and father’s heads bobbing(浮动)in the water. She burst into tears, thinking her sister and dad were dead, because she was taking too long.

Help!” She was soon picked up and taken towards where her father and sister were. Fortunately, they didn’t drown but her father seemed to be giving out, with one hand holding tight to the boat. the other holding Cierrah.
Once rescued, they were rushed to shore, where a concerned group waited for their arrival. They gave clothes and blankets to the three poor people, and then the ambulance arrived. Kiana, her sister and her father were cheeked on the spot and finally sent to the nearest hospital. Later, when asked what gave her the strength and perseverance to continue. both in the cold water and in great fear.
