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", "Climate strike" and "upcycling", respectively(分别地), as their "Word of the Year". This tells us that climate change was a widely-discussed issue in 2019.
"Climate emergency" means a situation in which urgent 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 the world in many ways. Take Venice for example. Due to 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.
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 our leaders to take responsibility.
"Decades ago, when the science on the climate issue was first increasing, the impacts(影响)could been seen as an issue for future generations," Katharine Mach, a Stanford University climate scientist, told The New York Times. "It's definitely our issue now."
However, simply realizing that climate change is a threat is not enough, we must take real action before it is too late.
1.Which dictionary didn't choose the climate word as their "Word of the Year"?
A.The Oxford. B.The Collins. C.The Webster. D.The Cambridge.
2.Which of the following words of phrases calls for making new items with old or used things?
A.Climate change. B.Climate emergency. C.Upcycling. D.Climate strike.
3.Why did Venice experience the worst flooding during past 50 years in 2019?
A.Because of heavy rain. B.Because of climate change.
C.Because of bad economy. D.Because of terrible managements.
4.According to Katharine Mach, what should we do now?
A.We should take action to fight against climate change in the future.
B.We'd better leave the climate issue to future generations.
C.We should take responsibility to deal with climate change immediately.
D.We should realize the climate change is a big threat but we can do nothing.
Jordan was born with a disability. But she says her difference doesn't hold her back—it makes her amazing.
When Jordan was having a new dance class at the age of 8, she noticed that some kids were staring at her. The kids were looking at her left arm. It stops above the elbow(肘部).
Each year, about 2,000 babies in the United States are born with limb differences, like Jordan was. That means they are missing all or part of an arm or a leg. With only one hand, Jordan has a tough time doing certain activities like tying her shoes. She sometimes uses a prosthetic(假体)arm to help her ride her bike.
Jordan attended camps for kids with limb differences. Three years ago, she was a special workshop. She was challenged to design a new prosthetic arm—one that would turn her disability into a "superpower".
Jordan worked with designers. They used a 3-D printer to create a prosthetic arm shaped like a unicorn's horn(独角兽的角). "It was really cool to show that you can build onto your difference to make it awesome," says Jordan.
In 2017, Jordan and her mom formed an organization called Born Just Right. They want to help other kids with limb differences. "We want to show kids that anything is possible," Jordan says.
Sure, people still sometimes stare. But Jordan uses those moments to educate others, "Your differences are amazing and you never know what amazing things you can do with them."
1.Why were the kids staring at Jordan?
A.Because Jordan was good at dancing. B.Because Jordan only had part of the arm.
C.Because Jordan couldn't dance well. D.Because Jordan was a famous designer.
2.What does the underlined word "limb" in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Eyes or ears. B.Noses or mouths. C.Arms or legs. D.Hair or skin.
3.Which of the following statements is CORRECT?
A.Jordan became disabled when she was eight years old.
B.Jordan invented a special prosthetic arm on her own.
C.Born Just Right is set up by Jordan and her mom.
D.There is no one staring at Jordan anymore.
4.What can we infer(推断)from the passage?
A.Jordan is proud to be different and will encourage other disabled kids.
B.Jordan never feels uncomfortable when people stare at her.
C.Jordan will have a real arm one day in the future.
D.More and more people will use 3-D printers to make prosthetic arms.
