Australias biggest city is facing a“public health emergency”over the bushfire smoke that has choked Sydney for weeks， leading doctors warned on Monday after a hospital reported a sudden increase in emergency department visits.

Hundreds of climate change-fueled bushfires have been very powerful across Australia for months. Six people have been killed， more than 700 houses destroyed and at least three million hectares of land burned this bushfire season. More than 100 fires are burning in New South Wales， where efforts to contain a 400，000-hectare fire near Sydney using back burning are believed to have caused another fire that destroyed an estimated 20 houses.

More than 20 medical groups including the Royal Australasian College of Physicians—which represents 25，000 doctors and trainees—released a joint statement on Monday calling on Australias government to address the poisonous air pollution.

The New South Wales State Health Department said it recorded a 48 percent increase in the number of people visiting hospital emergency rooms with breathing problems in the week ending Dec.10， when air quality fell suddenly across Sydney， causing 20，000 residents to march in protest the following day.

The disastrous fires have focused attention on climate change， with scientists saying the fires have come earlier and with more intensity than usual due to global warming and a prolonged drought that has also caused towns to run out of drinking water and forced farmers off their land.

Official data shows 2019 is on track to be one of the hottest and driest years on record in Australia， with the country to experience a heat wave this week that will break temperature records. And firefighters say the heat wave will make their job even tougher.

24. What makes the bushfires so fierce？

A. Climate change.B. Human activity.

C. Back burning.D. Government failure.

25. What was the effect of the Australia fire？

A. Few people got killed.

B. All houses were destroyed.

C. Drinking water was polluted.

D. More people suffered from breathing problems.

26. What does the underlined word“address”in Para.3 mean？

A. Reduce.B. Handle.

C. Announce.D. Prevent.

27. Whats the best title for the passage？

A. A Public Health Emergency

B. Doctors Are Warned in Sydney

C. Disastrous Fires Spread across Australia

D. Sydneys Largest-ever Bushfires

With bells beautifying their ankles， Ms. Bupathis dance team at Rutgers University， are changing their steps， correcting hand gestures and adjusting facial expressions.

Scientists hope to bring evidence of life on Mars back to Earth in a future cooperative space mission named. It will draw on finances from both NASA and the European Space Agency. They believe conditions billions of years ago on the red planet were similar to those found today on Earth. And they want to find out what went wrong.

Jan Worner， the ESAs director general， said last week：“The mission is a key part of our future exploration program. However， we should be clear that every step of the mission is going to be very challenging.”The space agencies also hope to bring 500 grams of Martian soil and rock back to Earth， sharing it with researchers around the world. Although scientists have discovered evidence supporting the presence of large oceans of liquid water on Mars， they have only been able to study samples of Martian soil or rock by sending unmanned spacecraft to Mars and analyzing things there， or by looking at broken pieces that arrive on Earth as meteorites（隕石）.

To get a closer look， scientists will use an upgraded Mars rover that will land in Jezero crater in the Syrtis Major region of Mars in early 2021 to collect samples. A second spacecraft that will be built by the ESA will land on Mars to collect those samples and take them to a US-built rocket that will take them into orbit， from where they will be posted back to Earth via an unmanned spacecraft.

Michael Meyer， NASAs Mars exploration scientist， told Science magazine the mission should be attempted now because of the excellent experts working in the field at the moment.“Everything is kind of lined up right now. The achievement， if successful， would be comparable to that of putting a man on the moon，”he said.

32. What do we learn about the mission？

A. It aims to take some living things from Mars.

B. It is beneficial to space exploration in the future.

C. It indicates the similarities between Mars and Earth.

D. Its funds depend on the US and most European countries.

33. What can scientists do on Mars research now？

A. They launch spacecraft to Mars.

B. They share soil and rock on Mars.

C. They send researchers to analyze samples.

D. They collect some water samples from Mars.

34. What is mainly discussed in the third paragraph？

A. The research of samples.

B. The function of spacecraft.

C. The benefit of using spacecraft.

D. The process of collecting samples.

35. What is Meyers attitude towards the mission？

A. Worried.B. Hopeful.

C. Doubtful.D. Confused.

An allergic reaction may not happen the first time a sufferer meets an allergen（過敏源）. Sometimes people can eat nuts for years and then suddenly become allergic to them. What has happened is that the immune system has now decided the substance is dangerous and has made an allergy antibody. This antibody then attaches itself to cells. 37

38Some people are born with the ability to make lots of allergy antibodies， and they are more likely to develop allergies and allergic disorders.

Experts believe more people have developed allergies because of changes in our lifestyle which have exposed us to more allergens. 39More and more people have central heating and double glazing windows， making our houses warmer and less fresh air—an ideal environment for very small creatures that can cause allergies.

Dear Chris，

Im Li Hua， a Senior High School student. Words fail convey my excitement when news come that you will deliver a lecture in our school. As for it content， my suggestions are as follows.

Concerning western music， I am fairly interesting in Beethoven who composed the world-famous

Yours，

Li Hua
