    In England, people often talk about the weather because they can have four seasons in one day. In the morning it is warm, just like in spring. An hour later, black clouds come out, and then it begins to rain and gets a little cold. In the afternoon the sky may be clear, and the sun may begin to shine. It may be just like a day in summer.

    You can also have summer in winter, or have winter in summer. So in winter you can sometimes swim, and in summer you can sometimes wear warm clothes. When you go to England, you will see some Englishmen take an umbrella or a raincoat with them on a sunny morning. But you'd better not laugh at them. If you don't take an umbrella or a raincoat in the morning, maybe later you'll have to walk in the rain. People often say that in England you can have four seasons in one day.

    Which topic drew the most attention from people around the world in 2019? It was climate change, according to three well-known English dictionaries.

     The Oxford, Collins and Cambridge dictionaries chose climate emergency(气候紧急状态), climate strike (罢工) and upcycling(升级改造), as their ―Word of the Year‖. This tells us that climate change was a widely-discussed issue(重要议题)in 2019. Climate emergency means a situation in which urgent(紧急的)action is needed to reduce climate change. ―Climate strike refers to people leaving work or school to call for more action to protect the environment. ―Upcycling refers to making new items out of old or used items to reduce waste.

    Climate change has already affected(影响)the world in many ways. Take Venice for example. Because of climate change, Venice experienced the worst flooding it has seen in the last 50 years in 2019. Many stores, restaurants and hotels were flooded. This caused serious damage totaling hundreds of millions of euros(欧元).

    Although we've known about global warming for a long time, our large companies and governments have been slow to respond to it.  The year 2019 might have been the turning point that will finally encourage(鼓励)our leaders to take responsibility(责任).

     Decades ago, when the science on the climate issue was first increasing, the impacts(影响)could be seen as an issue for future generations, ‖ Katharine Mach, a Stanford University climate scientist, told The New York Times. It's surely our responsibility now.

    However, simply realizing that climate change is a threat(威胁) is not enough. We must take real action before it is too late.

    (1)、According to the three dictionaries, people in 2019 cared about ________the most.
    A、environmental protection B、international business C、recycling services D、the overuse of natural resources
    (2)、The flooding in Venice is mentioned to_________.
    A、prove that Venice is not a safe place to visit B、explain why Venice suffered serious damage C、show how climate change has affected the world D、explain how the climate changed in 2019
    (3)、What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph4 mean?
    A、Large companies and governments haven't known anything about global warming. B、Large companies and governments didn't take action at once when facing global warming C、It's only large companies and governments' responsibility to solve the problem of global warming D、Large companies and governments have done a lot to solve the problem of global warming.
    (4)、What does Mach mean in Paragraph 5?
    A、Many scientists are working on the climate issue. B、The climate issue will affect only future generations. C、Future generations will suffer more than us. D、It's our responsibility to deal with climate change.
    (5)、This passage is probably______.
    A、a notice B、a story C、a piece of news D、a poem

    Once, a king had a great highway built for his people. Just before it was opened to the public, the king decided to have a contest (竞赛). He invited his people to take part in the contest. Their challenge was to see who could travel the highway the best.

    On the day of the contest, some people came to the highway in fine clothing; some had fancy hairstyles or brought great food. Some young men came in their sports clothes and ran along the highway. People travelled the highway all day, but each one, when he or she completed the trip, complained to the king that there was a large pile of stones in the way that had blocked his or her travels.

    At the end of the day, a lonely traveller crossed the finishing line and walked over to the king. He was tired and dirty, but he showed the king great respect and handed him a bag of gold. He explained, “I stopped along the way to clear a pile of stones that was blocking the road. This bag of gold was under it all. I want you to return it to its rightful owner. ”

    The king replied, “You are the rightful owner. You've earned this gold, for you won my contest. ”

    The man won the contest just because he was the only one who stopped to make the road smoother. Sometimes, the greatest prize comes not from helping yourself, but from helping others.

    (1)、What did the man do during the contest?
    A、He complained as the other people did. B、He gave up before he got to the stones. C、He cleared the pile of stones. D、He blocked the road with stones.
    (2)、What does the underlined word “blocking” mean in Chinese?
    A、街区 B、一块 C、砖头 D、阻塞
    (3)、Why could the man win the contest?
    A、Because he was willing to help others. B、Because he gave the king some gold. C、Because he travelled the fastest. D、Because he showed the king respect.
