• 2．The Brazilian scientists were in disbelief after seeing the results.They tested different models to re-check their information.But all returned the same.The country with the most freshwater resources in the world had lost 15 percent of its surface water since 1991.
     Evaporation（蒸發(fā)）is a part of the natural process that can lessen water resources.This is especially true in areas with low water levels like the Pantanal wetlands.But the scientists believe something else is happening.
     Experts have warned human activity is affecting the world's weather patterns.It is causing extreme events to happen more often，such as severe droughts and floods.The cutting and burning of forest and the building of large hydroelectric factories and dams for watering crops all affect natural patterns.
     In Brazil's Amazon rainforest，water evaporates then travels on air flows to provide rainfall far away.But some climate experts say if too much forest is destroyed，the Amazon will start an irreparable process of becoming a savannas（大草原）.
     There are more immediate effects for worry，like possible power shortages this year.Hydroelectric reservoirs have had ten years of lower-than-usual rainfall.Reservoirs in the Parana River area have never before been overused.
     The Parana River and its connected water bodies supply fresh water to some 40 million people.That includes the large city of Sao Paolo and several states.Fishing communities and farmers also depend on these water bodies.
     Brazil's decreasing water resources may also worsen fires that people set each winter to clear land.The fires then burn out of control.Last year，more than 25 percent of Brazil's Pantanal was on fire.It was the worst yearly damage since officials began keeping records in 2003.In areas without roads，moving on smaller rivers can be a problem because of low water levels，Rabelo said.That means firefighters could soon have trouble reaching some fires.And，even if they can，less water is available to put them out.
  
  （1）What was the Brazilian scientists' reaction to their findings？

  
  A．Satisfied.
  B．Disappointed.
  C．Shocked.
  D．Overjoyed.
  （2）Which of the following belongs to "something else" in the third paragraph？

  
  A．Evaporation.
  B．Building dams.
  C．Power shortage.
  D．Fishing.
  （3）What can we know from the passage？

  
  A．Brazil lacks roads for firefighters to reach fires.
  B．The destruction of the rainforest may affect the rainfall.
  C．Brazil's people set fires to keep wild animals away in winter.
  D．Reservoirs in the Parana River area is useless due to water shortage.
  （4）What is the best title of the passage？

  
  A．Water Study Raises Fears for Drought
  B．Brazil's Forest Is Disappearing
  C．More Water，More Happiness
  D．Cherish Water，Extend Life

• 3．Internal communication，also known as IC，refers to a group of processes responsible for effective circulation of message within an organization.These messages are information that is valuable to the organization and are supposed to be kept confidential（機密的）.The means of transferring this information is often done through emails，letters，notice boards，and even with the help of social media like Skype，Zoom，and Google Meet，in the current times.
      Honest internal communication is the healthiest way to keep your organization growing.With honesty around the workplace，it is a safer environment for the employees to voice their opinions which could help in the modification of a certain operation that might have been outdated.Other than changes，not opening up to your colleagues can result in frustration and give rise to "gossip culture" at the workplace.When information is not passed out with lucidity，not only does the quality of work get affected but it also gives rise to questioning the worth of the time spent in the company.
      An atmosphere of honesty also encourages growth in responsibility，leadership，and self-accountability.If the CEO of a company voices the shortcomings of his team in a respectful manner，it would bring room for each and every employee to take it on a positive note and bring around the change for the one common goal of development of the company that they are working for.This brings a lot of change in the attitude of every individual employee since they start seeing the company that they are working for as an asset that they cherish （珍愛） dearly.
      In a workplace，things go both wrong and right，so it is important to both appreciate and criticize when such situations occur from the end of both the leadership and the employees.The positives should be celebrated while the negatives should be taken as positive criticisms that could help the company grow into something better.The main goal of unity and development should always be kept in mind.
  
  （1）Which is considered one main character of IC？

  
  A．It comes with the times of social media.
  B．It exists within the leadership of a company.
  C．It is often kept secret within an organization.
  D．It needs a long and difficult process in most cases.
  （2）What does the underlined word "lucidity" in paragraph 2 probably mean？

  
  A．Clearness.
  B．Appreciation.
  C．Authority.
  D．Assistance.
  （3）What is the third paragraph mainly about？

  
  A．The main responsibilities of the CEO.
  B．The importance of unity for a company.
  C．The advantage of a powerful leadership.
  D．The role of an honest leadership in a company.
  （4）What does the author suggest to us in a workplace in the last paragraph？

  
  A．Communicating both the positives and the negatives.
  B．Taking responsibilities bravely for our mistakes.
  C．Trying all possible means to avoid the negatives.
  D．Strengthening unity mainly among the employees.

• 9．It was the night before Christmas and Rob was lying in bed，thinking about the next day.His family was poor，living entirely on the farm they ran，and most of the excitement of Christmas was in the turkey they had raised themselves and pumpkin pies his mother made.He rolled over to look at his old watch-it was two o'clock.Three hours later，his father would call him to get up，even if it was Christmas.
      His father never talked about loving him--he had no time for such things.There was always so much to do on the farm. "Or maybe，he just doesn't love me，" Rob thought.He had a reason to think so.At 5 o'clock every morning，his father would call him to get up and help with the farm work.He had to go to the barn（棚）to hold the milking pails（擠奶桶）steadily when his father was milking the cow.He had to help put the tools in place and do the cleaning after the milking.He hated it that he had to do all these things at so early time.
      He was not the only one awake at this night.He heard his parents whispering in the next room. "Mary，I hate to call Rob in the mornings.He's growing so fast and he needs his sleep.If you could see how he sleeps when I going to wake him up!I wish I could manage alone."
      "Well，you can't，Adam，" His mother's voice was gentle.Besides，he isn't a child anymore.It's time he took his turn."
      "Yes，" his father said slowly. "But I do hate to wake him."
      When he heard these words，something in him spoke：his father loved him!He had never thought of that before，taking for granted the tie of their blood.Now that he knew his father loved him，he had to do something different on this Christmas.He did save and buy them each something every year，but he wished he had a better present for his father instead of the usual tie from the ten-cent store.
