12．"Your password has expired，" a message said on my screen，with instructions for changing it.Coming up with a new code doesn't seem like a big deal，unless you work at my company，where we have to change it monthly，using at least one uppercase character，one lowercase character，one symbol，and one number.Oh，the whole password can't be fewer than eight characters.And I can't use any of the same passwords I've used in the past three months.
Suddenly I was very angry.What didn't make it any better was that I was deeply depressed after my recent divorce.Disbelief about what she had done to me was all I thought about.Every day!
I remembered a tip I'd heard from my former boss.He'd said： "I'm going to use a password to change my life."I couldn't focus on getting things done in my current mood.There were clear signs of what I needed to do to get control of my life again.
My password became the sign.My password reminded me that I shouldn't let myself be a victim of my recent breakup and that I was strong enough to do something about it.
I made my password Forgive@h3 r.I had to type this several times a day.The simple action changed the way I looked at my ex-wife.That constant reminder led me to accept the way things had happened and find a new way of dealing with my depression.As the month wore on，I felt a slow healing begin to happen.By the time my server asked me to reset my password the following month，I felt free.
One month later，my dear Exchange server asked me yet again to reset my password.I thought about the next thing that I had to get done.My password became Quit@smoking4 ever.I quit smoking overnight.This password was a painful one to type during that month，but doing it helped me to yell at myself in my mind as I typed that statement.It motivated me to follow my monthly goal.One month later，my password became Save4 trip（g）thailand.Guess where I went three months later：Thailand.
Seeing how these reminders helped to achieve my goals kept me motivated and excited.While it's something difficult to come up with your next goal，keeping at it brings great results.

13．China deployed （部署） a satellite on Oct 24 to carry out technological tests for space debris （残骸） management，according to the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corp.The spacecraft aims to demonstrate technologies to alleviate space debris.
Since the dawn of the space age in the 1950s，humans have launched thousands of rockets and sent even more satellites into orbit.Many are still there，and we are now facing an ever-increasing risk of space junk.
More than 27，000 pieces of orbital debris，or "space junk"，are tracked in space，according to NASA.Much more debris is too small to be tracked but large enough to threaten human spaceflight and robotic missions.Since a piece of debris can move faster than a speeding bullet，collisions with these tiny pieces often leave pits in many satellites，telescopes and other objects orbiting our planet.
In 2006，for example，a tiny piece of space junk collided with the International Space Station，taking a chip out of the heavily reinforced window，according to National Geographic.
Space junk is a huge threat to space missions that involve human life. "This is particularly important since careful consideration needs to be made about the orbital path of space junk before spacewalk exercises are conducted， " Joon Wayn Cheong，a satellite systems expert，told Science X，a science website.
Luckily，scientists are fully aware of the issue，and they are approaching it in different ways.
One involves using a giant net.In 2018，the UK's Surrey Space Center used a net to catch space junk in an experiment.It was the first successful demonstration of space cleanup technology，CNN reported.It involved targeting debris and catching it with a net and a harpoon.
Another solution is to use robotic arms.Clear Space 1，the European Space Agency's mission to remove space junk from orbit，is expected to launch in 2025，which will adopt robotic arms to capture the debris，BBC Science Focus Magazine reported.The mission plans to locate，capture and throw debris into the atmosphere，where it will burn up in the intense pressure and friction（摩擦）of re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere.
（1）What does the underlined word "alleviate" in paragraph 1 mean？
A．Track.
B．Increase.
C．Reduce.
D．Destroy.
（2）What can be inferred about space junk according to the passage？
A．A great many satellites orbiting the Earth don't work efficiently.
B．About 27，000 satellites are working on the orbit of the Earth.
C．Many satellites have been damaged by speeding bullets.
D．Spacewalk exercises can be a huge threat to space junk.
（3）Which of the following shows the structure of the passage？（P=paragraph）
（4）What would be the best title for the text？A． 
B． 
C． 
D． 
A．Achievement in aerospace
B．Risks of space junk
C．Solutions to solving debris
D．Space debris cleanup组卷：11引用：2难度：0.3

39．Old Problem，New Approaches While clean energy is increasingly used in our daily life，global warming will continue for some decades after CO2 emissions （排放） peak.So even if emissions were to begin to decrease today，we would still face climate change.Here I will stress some smarter and more creative examples of climate adaptation.
When it comes to adaptation，it is important to understand that climate change is a process.We are therefore not talking about adapting to a new standard，but to a constantly shifting set of conditions.This is why，in part at least，the US National Climate Assessment says that： "There is no 'one-size fits all adaptation." Nevertheless，there are some actions that offer much and carry little risk or cost.
Around the world，people are adapting in surprising ways，especially in some poor countries.Floods have become more damaging in Bangladesh in recent decades.Mohammed Rezwan saw opportunity where others saw only disaster.His not-for-profit organization runs 100 river boats that serve as floating libraries，schools and health clinics，and are equipped with solar panels and other communicating facilities.Rezwan is creating floating connectivity（连接）to replace flooded roads and highways.But he is also working at a far more fundamental level：his staff show people how to make floating gardens and fish ponds to prevent starvation during the wet season.
Elsewhere in Asia even more astonishing actions are being taken.Chewang Norphel lives in a mountainous region in India，where he is known as the Ice Man.The loss of glaciers there due to global warming represents an enormous threat to agriculture.Without the glaciers，water will arrive in the rivers at times when it can damage crops.Norphel's inspiration came from seeing the waste of water over winter，when it was not needed.He directed the wasted water into shallow basins where it froze，and was stored until the spring.His fields of ice supply perfectly timed irrigation（灌溉）water.Having created nine such ice reserves，Norphel calculates that he has stored about .200，000 m3 of water.Climate change is a continuing process，so Norphel's ice reserves will not last forever.Warming will overtake them.But he is providing a few years during which the farmers will，perhaps，be able to find other means of adapting.
Increasing Earth's reflectiveness can cool the planet.In southern Spain the sudden increase of greenhouses （which reflect light back to space） has changed the warming trend locally，and actually cooled the region.While Spain as a whole is heating up quickly，temperatures near the greenhouses have decreased.This example should act as an inspiration for all cities.By painting buildings white，cities may slow down the warming process.
In Peru，local farmers around a mountain with a glacier that has already fallen victim to climate change have begun painting the entire mountain peak white in the hope that the added reflectiveness will restore the life-giving ice.The outcome is still far from clear.But the World Bank has included the project on its list of"100 ideas to save the planet".
More ordinary forms of adaptation are happening everywhere.A friend of mine owns an area of land in western Victoria.Over five generations the land has been too wet for cropping.But during the past decade declining rainfall has allowed him to plant highly profitable crops.Farmers in many countries are also adapting like this—either by growing new produce or by growing the same things differently.This is common sense.But some suggestions for adapting are not.When the polluting industries argue that we've lost the battle to control carbon pollution and have no choice but to adapt，it's a nonsense designed to make the case for business as usual.
Human beings will continue to adapt to the changing climate in both ordinary and astonishing ways.But the most sensible form of adaptation is surely to adapt our energy systems to emit less carbon pollution.After all，if we adapt in that way，we may avoid the need to change in so many others.
（1）What is special with regard to Rezwan's project？
A．The project receives government support.
B．Different organizations work with each other.
C．His organization makes the best of a bad situation.
D．The project connects flooded roads and highways.
（2）What did the Ice Man do to reduce the effect of global warming？
A．Storing ice for future use.
B．Protecting the glaciers from melting.
C．Changing the irrigation time.
D．Postponing the melting of the glaciers.
（3）What do we learn from the Peru example？
A．White paint is usually safe for buildings.
B．The global warming trend cannot be stopped.
C．This country is heating up too quickly.
D．Sunlight reflection may relieve global warming.
（4）According to the author，polluting industries should.
A．adapt to carbon pollution
B．plant highly profitable crops
C．leave carbon emission alone
D．fight against carbon pollution
（5）What's the author's preferred solution to global warming？
A．Setting up a new standard.
B．Reducing carbon emission.
C．Adapting to climate change.
D．Monitoring polluting industries.组卷：4引用：1难度：0.4
