However, thanks to
10、 improved early warning systems and disaster management, the number of death from these hazards (危险) has been almost three times less. According to the WMO, from 1970 to 2019, weather, climate and water hazards accounted for 50 percent of all disasters. Among the top 10 hazards that led to the large
11、st loss of human life during this period were droughts, storms, floods and extreme temperatures. However, deaths fell from over 50, 000 in the 1970s to less than 20, 000 in the 2010s. “Weather, climate and water extremes are increasing and will become more frequent and severe in many parts of the wo
12、rld as a result of climate change,” says WMO Secretary-General Petteri Taalas. “That means more heat waves, drought and forest fires such as those we have observed recently in Europe and North America. We have more water vapor in the atmosphere, which is worsening extreme rainfall and deadly floodin
13、g. The warming of the oceans has affected the frequency and area of existence of the most intense tropical storms.”“Economic losses are increasing as exposure increases. But behind the statistics lies a message of hope. Improved multi-hazard early warning systems have led to a significant reduction

Quite simply, we are better than ever before at saving lives,” Taalas said.22What do we know from the first paragraph?ADisasters connected with weather have gone up.BThe number of weather-related disasters has decreased.CThe number of deaths from hazards has been increasing.DEarly warning

17、teve Forest is a scientist. Hes standing on an island off the coast of the Antarctic Peninsula. Below him are several hundred penguins and their children. Forrests job is to count every one of them. Its snowing. There is a big wind, too. And their children wont stay still. Penguins are great climber

The team member Noah Strycker adds, “We know climate change is hitting the Antarctic Peninsula harder than anywhere else in the world. We are following the situation closely.”Scientists thin

Theyre easier to follow. They return to the same place each year to lay eggs. If penguins arent doing well , krill probably
21、 arent either. “Penguins give us an idea about what is going on in the sea around us,” Forrest says.This year, Lynchs research team uses a drone to help them. They fly it over an area to take pictures to count penguins.Counting penguins is quite necessary. The more we learn, the more we know about k

But how does one generate (产生) curiosity, in oneself or others? George Loewenstein, a professor of psychology a
26、t Carnegie Mellon University, offered an answer in the classic1994 paper, “The Psychology of Curiosity.”Curiosity arises, Loewenstein wrote, “when attention becomes focused on a gap in ones knowledge. Such information gaps produce the feeling of deprivation (匮乏) labeled curiosity. The curious indivi
27、dual is motivated to obtain the missing information to reduce the feeling of deprivation.” Loewensteins theory helps explain why curiosity is such a force: its not only a mental state but also an emotion, a powerful feeling that drives us forward.Scientist Daniel Willingham notes that teachers are o
28、ften “so eager to get to the answer that we do not devote enough time to developing the question.” Yet its the question that stimulates (刺激) curiosity; being told an answer stops curiosity before it can even get going.In his 1994 paper, George Loewenstein noted that curiosity requires some basic kno
29、wledge. Were not curious about something we know absolutely nothing about. But as soon as we know even a little bit, our curiosity is aroused and we want to learn more. In fact, research shows that curiosity increases with knowledge: the more we know, the more we want to know. To get this process st
30、arted, Loewenstein suggests, take steps with some interesting but incomplete information.Language teachers have long used communication in exercises that open an information gap and then require learners to communicate with each other in order to fill it. For example, one student might be given a se
31、ries of pictures for the beginning of the story, while the students partner is given a series of pictures showing how that same story ends. Only by speaking with each other (in the foreign language they are learning, of course) can the students fill in each others information gaps.30When one notices

35、eter river before the fish were able to reproduce. The losses led Alaska to stop their salmon harvests in 2021 to make sure that enough fish survived to reproduce for another year.The poor salmon harvests caused major financial losses to private fishing companies in the area. The die-offs also hurt
36、native communities, which traditionally store the fish as a year-round food supply.Last month, the U.S. Department of Commerce declared a disaster for Yukon River fishing for 2020 and 2021, making aid money available. Alaska has sent emergency fish shipments to areas affected by the salmon shortages
37、.Scientists have mostly blamed the problems on a series of heat waves in the Bering Sea and North Pacific Ocean from 2014 to 2019. The warm ocean waters affected salmons living in the sea before they returned to lay eggs.Climate change may also be affecting what the salmon are eating. Fishing expert
38、s say young salmon are likely filling up on nutrient-poor food because warmer waters drive away healthier organisms (有机物) they normally feed on. “In my opinion, the salmon are starving with climate change,” said Brooke Woods in the Yukon River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission.The effects of climate chan
39、ge on freshwater environments have also been studied. Vanessa von Biela is a biologist who looked at the rivers, streams and lakes where salmon live. Her team found that Chinook salmon show heat stress at temperatures above 18. They start dying above 20. In 2019, temperatures on the Alaskan side wer
40、e above 18 for 44 straight days, a recent study found.The effects of warming waters can be reduced by climate-driven glacier (冰川) runoff, which brings cooler water into rivers and streams. But scientists still expect salmon to begin slowly moving to new areas within Alaska. “Salmon will find a way,”
41、 said Biela. “but its going to be hard for communities in places where there might not be salmon anymore.”34What do the locals rely on salmon for?AFood supply.BScientific study.CGreen tourism.DWater improvement.35What did the declaration of the disaster bring about?AFinancial losses.BRelief funds.CE
42、conomic growth.DFast delivery.36Which of the following is the effect of climate change in Yukon River?ANo healthy organisms are left there.BSalmon there lose the ability to lay eggs.CSalmon there go short of nutritious food.DThe temperature remains above 18 till now.37What can be inferred from the l
43、ast paragraph?AMeasures to protect salmon are effective.BSalmon will not find a way out of the crisis.CThe amount of salmon will increase greatly.DSalmon are likely to leave the river for survival.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。Traveling alone gives you the freedo
