Every superhero, no matter how small, needs a cape(披风). That was Robyn Rosenberger’s motivation when
she started sewing superhero caps for kids with cancer, heart defects, and other serious diseases.
It all began when she was making a cape as a birthday present for her nephew. Rosenberger heard of a girl
named Brenna who was battling a potentially deadly skin condition called harlequin ichthyosis(鱼鳞病). Anyone
going through what she was going through had to be tough. “I had a happy moment,” Rosenberger says. “Brenna
was a superhero! She needed a cape.”
So, Rosenberger sent her one, and Brenna’s mother was delighted. Rosenberger found ten more kids online
and sent out ten more capes. Before long, she quit her job at a software company to devote herself to
tinysuperheroes.com, a website where people can buy handmade capes for brave kids facing illness and disability.
Since 2013, Rosenberger and her small paid staff have sent more than 12,000 handmade capes to kids in all
500 states and 15 other countries. The capes come in pink, blue, purple, or red and can be decorated with the
child’s initials(姓氏首字母) or specialized patches, including a heart, a rocket, or a lightning bolt. One receiver
was eight-month-old Gabe, who was born with a cleft palate(腭裂) and Coffin-Siris Syndrome, which causes
distinct (特有的) facial features. Rosenberger sent him a red cape with a bright yellow G in the center. It was a hit.
Gabe is now a fixture on the company’s social media posts. “The TinySuperhero community has been a wonderful
connection to have,” says Gabe’s mom, Kate Glocke. “In fact, two years later, we still bring Gabe’s cape with us
to every hospital appointment.”

On January 22nd, 2021, China said it has established a new monitoring and research center for greenhouse
gases and carbon neutrality( 碳 中 和 ) in order to contribute more to fighting climate change. The official
announcement of the Monitoring and Assessment Center for GHGs and Carbon Neutrality (温室气体及碳中和检
测评估中心), located in Beijing, was made by the China Meteorological Administration. It is expected to play a
vital role in providing both technical and scientific support for researchers. The center will gather top scientists in
the field from both home and abroad. Apart from providing ways to achieve carbon neutrality, it will also be
helpful to make technological breakthroughs in the next three to five years.
The center is tasked with creating a system to evaluate the effectiveness of the country’s efforts to fight
climate change. The recruitment (招募) of staff members is expected to be finished in the next two months. A
scientific steering committee will also be started in April to guide the center’s operation.
China is determined to peak(达到峰值) its carbon dioxide emissions(排放) before 2030 and achieve carbon
neutrality before 2060. One of the lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic is that humankind must pursue a green
development path and green lifestyle. China will lower its carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP by more than
65 percent from the 2005 level and increase its share of non-fossil fuels in primary energy consumption to around
25 percent. By 2030, China will also increase its forest stock by 6 billion cubic meters from the 2005 level, and
bring its total installed capacity (装机容量) of wind and solar power to over 1.2 billion kilowatts.
The establishment of the center proves China’s determination to pursue a green development road. It’s a
concrete action that China has taken to fight the climate challenge. Carbon neutrality, or a net-zero carbon
footprint, means reading a balance between carbon emissions and removing pollutants through carbon sinks and
other offset (补偿).
China has sped up research and development of equipment to monitor greenhouse gases and carbon
neutrality and achieved encouraging results. However, there is still a long way to go to reach the top world
standard.
8. Why did China start the Center?
贵阳市 2021 年高三适应性考试(一)英语 第4页 (共 8 页)
A. To produce more greenhouse gases.
B. To gather more scientists worldwide.
C. To contribute more to fighting climate change.
D. To introduce top scientists in carbon neutrality.
9. When will the recruitment of the staff probably finish?
A. In January. B. In March. C. In April. D. In May.
10. How soon will China achieve carbon neutrality?
A. In 9 years. B. In 16 years. C. In 39 years. D. In 65 years.
11. What does this passage mainly talk about?
A. China’s new contribution to climate battle.
B. China peaks its carbon dioxide emissions.
C. The Center’s recruiting new members.
D. Installed capacity of wind and solar power.

Scientists have successfully used satellite cameras to count animals in complex geographical environments,
taking environmentalists an important step forward in monitoring populations of endangered species.
For this research, the satellite Worldview 3 used high-quality pictures to monitor African elephants moving
through forests and grasslands. The automated( 自 动 化 ) system detected animals with the same accuracy as
humans are able to achieve. The new surveying technique, created by Dr. Olga Isupova at the University of Bath
in the UK with some other scientists, allows vast areas of land to be scanned in a matter of minutes, offering a
much-needed alternative to human observers counting individual animals from low-flying airplanes. As it sweeps
across the land, a satellite can collect over 5,000 km2 of pictures every few minutes, avoiding double counting.
Where necessary, the process can be repeated the next day.
The population of African elephants has nose-dived over the past century, mainly due to hunting illegally and
habitat (栖息地) ruin. With only 40,000-50,000 elephants left in the wild, the species is classified as endangered.
“Accurate monitoring is essential if we’re to save the species,” said Dr. Isupove. “We need to know where
the animals are and how many there are.” Satellite monitoring avoids disturbing animals during date collection
and ensures humans are not hurt in the counting process. It also makes it simpler to count animals moving from
country to country, as satellites can orbit the planet without regard for border controls or conflict.
This study was not the first to use satellite pictures and algorithms(计数法) to monitor species, but it was the
first to reliably monitor animals moving through a complex environment ---that is, an environment that includes
areas of open grassland, woodland and partial coverage. “This type of work has been done before with whales, but
of course the ocean is all blue, so counting is a lot less challenging,” said Dr. Isupova. “As you can imagine, a
complex environment makes it much harder to identify animals.”
The researchers believe their work shows the potential of technology to support environmentalists to protect
贵阳市 2021 年高三适应性考试(一)英语 第5页 (共 8 页)
biodiversity and to slow the progress of the sixth mass extinction(灭绝)---the ongoing extinction event caused by
human activity.
12. Why did the scientists create the satellite cameras?
A. To count animals in complex environment.
B. To increase the number of wild animals.
C. To train the skills of observing animals.
D. To drive the elephants out of forests in Africa.
13. What can we learn about the new surveying technique?
A. It’s individual. B. It’s complex.
C. It’s dangerous. D. It’s accurate.
14. What is the condition of African elephants?
A. They are rapidly increasing. B. They are in diversity.
C. They are rapidly reducing. D. They are in balance.
15. What would be the best title for this passage?
A. Making the Satellite Worldview 3 for Biodiversity.
B. Using Satellite to Monitor Endangered Species.
C. Supporting Hunting with new Technology.
D. Introducing Dr. Olga Isupova at the University of Bath.

How to Quiet a Complainer
Talking to a complainer can stress you out, but with the right tools you can lighten the mood for all.
16 . Some complainers will stop if you change the conversation in a direction that interests them. If
your neighbor is caring much about the phone company, tell her about an unexpected call you received from an
old friend. If you coworker is complaining about your boss, ask whether he met the new employee. 17 .
Therefore, you can keep using it.
Summarize the complaint. If your complainer keeps repeating himself, he may stop if you prove that you’re
listening. Ask something like, “Can I tell you what I’ve heard so far and you know that I’ve got it?” Using “I”
statements (“I’ve heard…”) rather than “you” statements shows that you’re interested rather than trying to shut the
person down. 18 .
Challenge the person to act. When a complainer is always telling you about her latest problem, ask nicely
what she’s done to improve it. That isn’t the usual direction that a complaining conversation takes. 19 .
Be honest. When you have things to do, tell the complainer that you must cut the conversation short.
20 . You can simply be honest, even saying you need to move on so the conversation doesn’t bring you
down---especially if it’s someone who’s complained to you many times before.
A. Change the subject
贵阳市 2021 年高三适应性考试(一)英语 第6页 (共 8 页)
B. Continue the subject
C. You don’t need an excuse to stop it
D. Therefore, you can keep complaining it
E. Hard as it may be, avoid saying the word “you”
F. However, this direction may help to shortly end a complaint
G. This method is especially effective on those who are mindlessly expressing

As we all know, most people, especially students, use to go to the library or borrow books, such as reference
books and novels. Therefore, with the rapid development of the Internet, nowadays fewer or fewer people will go
to the library. That’s because they can easy get the information when they need from the Internet. What’s the more,
mobile phones and computer have played major roles.
Personally, even though we can do reading from the phones or computers, we are not supposed to spend too
much time fix our eyes on the electronic screens, which is not beneficial to his eyes. I strongly suggest we should
make full use of our spare time go to the library.
