• 2．Josué Rivas didn't know his father well.When he was seven，his mother left Mexico to look for work in the United States，leaving him in the care of his father.But Josué Rivas says his dad didn't know how to be a dad.His father was a photographer who struggled with alcoholism and gave away nearly as many portraits as he sold.Under his care，Josué quickly ended up on the streets and was homeless for four years until his mom came and brought him to America.After that，Josué didn't hear from his father much.
     But in the last year，during the pandemic，they reconnected.Josué told his dad Arturo Rivas how his abandonment hurt him.The man was defensive at first，but heard him out（耐心聽完）.And a month before he died of COVID-19 this year，he called his son to tell him that he wanted to continue to talk about their relationship.

     As a kid，Josué hated photography because it reminded him of his dad.But as he grew older，he embraced it，recognizing the loving，if misguided，efforts his father had made to pass on his art form to him.To work through his grief，Josué found himself returning to the camera，projecting images of his dad onto the walls of his house and then photographing himself next to them.

• 3．A recent study found-that more than a third of all heat deaths worldwide can be attributed to climate change.Parts of the U.S.jye.ai feeling the danger now.Heat waves，like the one that has held the Northwest United States in its grip for the past week，are deadly.
     The human toll（傷亡人數(shù)） of the record-breaking temperatures that struck both coasts of the U.S.jye.ai Canada in recent weeks is already enormous.At least 80 people have died in the U.S during the past few days of extreme heat；in British Columbia，the number is in the hundreds.And，as more data trickles in，those numbers are likely to rise even further.
     A mountain of scientific research has shown that climate change is making heat waves longer，hotter，more likely，and more dangerous.A recent study published in Nature Climate Change adds additional detail by assessing the human cost of that extra heat：In June，a team of some 70 researchers reported that for the 732 sites on 6 continents they studied，on average，37 percent of all heat-related deaths can be blamed directly for climate change.
     The study underlines the urgency with which we need to address human-caused climate change，says Ana Vicedo Cabrera，lead author of the study and a climate change epidemiologist at the University of Bern，in Switzerland.
     "Climate change is not something in the future：It's something in the present，and it is already affecting our health in very dramatic ways，"she says.Extreme，deadly heat events like the one hitting North America are a warning of what will come."We can expect that what we've seen in the past is going to increase exponentially in the future.Our choices for the future are more of this，or a lot more of this.We can still choose between bad and worse，"he says.
     Either way，it is well past time to start helping people across the country prepare for extreme heat，says University of Washington's Kristie Ebi，a global environmental health expert.Some actions can be simple，like making sure people have access to fans，air conditioning，and shade.But the basic message is simple，according to Ebi：We can choose to save lives. "Heat kills，but it doesn't have to，"she says.
  
  （1）What is the main cause of the heat deaths？

  
  A．Air pollution.
  B．Climate change.
  C．Overpopulation.
  D．Geographical Location.
  （2）What does the underlined work "enormous" in paragraph 2 mean？

  
  A．Zero.
  B．Moderate.
  C．Little.
  D．Huge.
  （3）What can we learn from Ana's words？

  
  A．Climate change was an issue in the past.
  B．Heat waves will definitely come next year.
  C．Human-caused climate change needs solving.
  D．The future of human is between good and bad.
  （4）Which saying can best describe Ebi's attitude？

  
  A．It's better late than never.
  B．Rome was not built in a day.
  C．Where there is a will，there is a way.
  D．God help those who help themselves.

• 9．Once a man was driving down the road when he noticed an elderly lady stood on one of the most deserted sections of the road.Even though the light was not bright in the evening，the man saw that she needed some help.So，he parked his car in front of hers and approached her.
      The older woman became concerned because no one had stopped to help her in the past few hours，and now this guy was approaching her with a smile.She became worried that the man would hurt her because he appeared poor and hungry.
      The man could see she was scared and understood how she felt. "I'm here to help you.My name is Bryan Anderson"，he continued，addressing her.Despite her fear，the older woman told him that her car's tire was flat.
      "Ma'am，It's cold outdoors；why don't you wait inside my warm car while I change the tires，" the man replied.Having said this，the man took his toolbox and began changing the flat tire of the Lady's car.The man quickly replaced the tire.The older woman rolled down her car window and started talking to him as he finished.
      She introduced herself，said she was from a far distant place and was passing through，and expressed her gratitude to him for helping her.After setting aside tools and a flat fire for her automobile，the man simply smiled as he shut the trunk（后備箱）.
      "How much should I pay you？" asked the elderly lady.
      The man had reason for being paid because this was not his job.He was assisting her in her time of need.Instead，he told her that if she genuinely wanted to repay him，she should help someone in need the next time she saw one. "And at that time，think of it as payment for this deed of mine." the man added.
      On the way back to her destination，the old lady noticed a small cafe a few miles down the road.She pulled over and went in to relax and grab a bite before the final leg of her journey.
  注意：
  （1）續(xù)寫的詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右：
