made uncomfortable by some small pieces of pollution, or when we are cutting onions，or when we are exhausted and “redeyes” from overwork and late hours, tears form in our eyes to clean and refresh them.tears are also a sign of strong emotion (情感). we cry when we are sad and we cry when we are happy.and tears seem to be uniquely human. we know that animals also experience emotion fear, pleasure, loneliness, but they do not shed (流) tears.biologically speaking, tears are actually drops of saline fluid, which is a little bit salty, produced by a gland (腺) in the body. because salt is an important component, tears may actually provide the most important evidence that the human animal is the end product of a long evolutionary process(进化过程) that began in the sea.and it is clear that, in addition to the emotional benefits, the shedding of tears has a specific biological function as well. through tears, we can eliminate from our body certain chemicals which build up in response to stress and create a chemical imbalance in the body. crying actually makes us feel better by correcting that imbalance and making us feel good again. and thus the emotional and the biological functions of tears merge (合并) into one and make us even more “human” than we would otherwise be.21. according to the article, which of the following makes humans different from other animals?a. the feeling of loneliness.b. the state of feeling good.c. the ability to shed tears.d. the feeling of fear.答案与解析：c细节理解题。根据文章第三段and tears seem to be uniquely human. we know that animals also experience emotion fear, pleasure, loneliness, but they do not shed tears.可知。22the underlined word “eliminate” probably means _.a. add b. producec. replace d. remove答案与解析：d词义猜测题。根据后面的which build up in response to stress and create a chemical imbalance in the body.以及下文内容可知。23which of the following is the best title of the passage?a. tears are a sign of strong emotionb. tears are always making us feel more comfortablec. tears make humans speciald. tears have certain biological functions答案与解析：b主旨大意题。综合全文内容并结合第一段中tears are natures way of making use feel more comfortable.可知。bwe already know the fastest, least expensive way to slow down climate change: use less energy. with a little effort, and not much money, most of us could reduce our energy diets by 25 percent or moredoing the earth a favor while also helping our wallets.not long ago, my wife, pj, and i tried a new dietnot to lose a little weight but to answer an annoying question about climate change. scientists have reported recently that the world is heating up even faster than predicted only a few years ago, and that the consequences (后果) could be severe if we dont keep reducing emission(排放) of carbon dioxide (co2) and other greenhouse gases that are trapping heat in our atmosphere.we decided to try an experiment. for one month we recorded our personal emission of co2. we wanted to see how much we could cut back, so we went on a strict diet. the average us household produces about 150 pounds of co2 a day by doing common things like turning on air conditioning or driving cars. thats more than twice the european average and almost five times the global average, mostly because americans drive more and have bigger houses. but how much should we try to reduce?for an answer, i checked with tim flannery, author of the weather makers: how man is changing the climate and what it means for life on earth. in his book, he had challenged readers to make deep cuts in personal emission to keep the world from reaching extremely important tipping_points，such as the melting (融化) of the ice sheets in greenland or west antarctica. to stay below that point, we need to reduce co2 emission by 80 percent，” he said. good advice, i thought. id opened our bedroom windows to let in the wind. wed gotten so used to keeping our airconditioning going around the clock. id almost forgotten the windows even opened. we should not let this happen again. its time for us to change our habits if necessary.24why did the author and his wife try a new diet?a. to take special kinds of food.b. to respond to climate change.c. to lose weight.d. to improve their health.答案与解析：b细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“not to lose a little weight but to answer an annoying question about climate change”可知，作者和妻子这么做的目的是回答一个令人烦恼的气候变化问题。25the underlined words “tipping points” most probably refer to “_”a. freezing points b. burning pointsc. melting points d. boiling points答案与解析：c词义猜测题。在他的书中，他要读者大幅减少个人温室气体排放量，以免世界来到“熔点”，下面给出的例子“such as the melting of the ice sheets in greenland or west antarctica”，可以判断出c项正确。26according to the passage, tim flannery _.amade deep cuts in his personal emission of co2b. wrote a book about the climate changesc. succeeded in reducing co2 emission by 80 percentd. was an author popular among readers答案与解析：b细节理解题。根据文章第四段可知，tim flannery的书the weather makers: how man is changing the climate and what it means for life on earth是有关the climate changes的，故b项正确。a、c两项都是tim flannery的书中的观点。而非他自己做到的事情；d项文中没有提及。27which of the following would be the best title for this passage?a. saving energy starts at homeb. changing our habits begins at workc. changing climate sounds reasonabled. reducing emission of co2 proves difficult答案与解析：a主旨大意题。文章作者通过讲述自己一家人切实有效地减少温室气体排放量的行动，向我们证明了“节约能源从家庭做起，从我做起”，故a项正确。cif there is something that appears most
