18、t due to the expense. They took matters into their own hands and started a GoFundMe campaign. A longtime friend of the family was cofounder of a group named Praynksters, known for random acts of kindness. The friend decided to use their own group to help the family. The group came up with the creati
19、ve idea to spread the word and invite families, friends, and strangers who wanted to help to take part in a donation activity. The event induced the enormous assistance from the local community. Clint and Amanda were moved as the crowd passed by and the donations poured in. The event brought the fam
20、ily over $ 13,000 in donations to go towards her medical treatments.The generous act of kindness gave the family a comforting, and optimistic feeling during a time when all hope seemed lost. Clint said that Amanda struggled with the idea of asking for help. She felt guilty and undeserving compared t
21、o others who are also struggling. She is still humbled by it all. After several months of treatment, life for the family has started getting back to their normal routine. Once Amanda got her strength back, she returned to school and completed her bachelors degree. The family is now inspired to volun
22、teer in their local neighborhood and contribute to crowdfunding (众筹) efforts. They are grateful for the opportunity to give back and help others as many have helped them. 24.

25、 Amandas cancer. C Why dont we have eyes in the back of our heads? There are at least two reasons. Eyes are biologically expensive things to make and rear view (后视) eyes dont fit well into the human evolution (进化). Even animals, such as rabbits, whose main survival advantage is rear vision, have onl
26、y the side eyes. Rear vision is not so important. There are other species that have evolved this ability by moving the position of their eyes relative to the rest of their head. Many birds have their eyes positioned towards the side of their head, allowing them a very wide angle of vision and, in th
27、e case of some birds such as the woodcock, they are positioned so they can actually achieve 360- degree vision. It is also obvious that spiders, which tend to have many eyes, only have them facing forwards. Humans, and probably some other animals, do have another adapted sense to make it up. Many ex
28、periments showed that sounds behind the head were noticed by a listener more than sounds to the front, especially if a listener was in a dark room. So,our ears can make up for the lack of rear-facing vision. You can look at it another way. Rear vision is useful only if the potential threat is visibl
29、e. During human evolution, that was most often not the case. Finally, there is often more than one potential “solution to a given problem. In many species, the answer to maintaining 360 degree awareness of surrounding danger is to rely on many eyes. Social behavior is common in the animal kingdom an
30、d one reason for this is that there is safety in numbers. You might be looking the wrong way when a tiger approaches, but if your teammates raise the alarm this is as effective as having eyes in the back of your head. 28. Why do humans have no rear view eyes? A. They are bad for human survival. B. T
31、hey are replaced by other organs. C. They are less likely to spot the danger. D. They are abandoned by natural selection. 29. What is the purpose of paragraph 2? A. To explain why animals have other functional B. To state rear-view eyes arent a must for survival, C. To prove rabbits, birds and spide
32、rs are very special. D. To show rear view eyes are against the natural selection, 30. What does the underlined word“that in paragraph 3 refer to? A. The visible threat behind the head. B. Sensitive hearing. C. The Sou sound behind the head. D. Rear vision. 31. Where does the text most likely com fro
33、m? A. A travel brochure. B. A fiction. C.A science magazine. D. A book review. D The UK government has promised to cut the countrys greenhouse gas emissions (排放) by at least 68% by 2030 compared with 1990 levels, marking a significant increase from its current goal.

34、d of the UK hosting a“climate action summit (峰会)”to encourage other countries to declare tougher climate plans, known as Nationally Deter-mined Contributions (NDCs)， under the Paris Agreement.

35、miting global warming to 1. 5. This is the most significant NDCs announcement so far from any major economy, said Richard Black at the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit, a UK-based think tank, in a statement. The new goal is exactly in line with what the governments official climate adviser, the
36、Climate Change Committee, called for in a letter published earlier today. The group said 68% would be “world-leading compared with existing plans of governments. The UK had previously promised a 53% cut in emissions as part of a joint (共同的) effort with the rest of the European Union, but the UK is d
37、etermined to produce a new NDCs. Separately, the UK had also promised a 57% cut by 2032 domestically. It is clear that far more action will be needed if the UK is to meet the new goal. The governments own analysis last week showed that recent major methods, such as banning new oil-fueled car sales b
38、y 2030，had failed to do enough to put the UK on track even for the old goal of 57% by 2032. The new goal obviously widens that gap further. 32.
