Fun fact
Charles Darwin, his wife, Emma, and their children lived at Down House for 40 years from 1838. Several
rooms appear as if the family still live here: with croquet sets thrown into an under-stairs cupboard, a half-played
game of backgammon on a side table and Emma’s knitting(毛线) left on a chair in the drawing room. Upstairs, an
exhibition showcases Darwin’s voyage aboard HMS Beagle, including a reconstruction of his cabin. Outside,
visitors can explore the sheltered gardens which Darwin used as an open-air laboratory, and the greenhouse in
which he planted rare plants and devised botanical experiments.
No room at Down House escaped Darwin’s experiments. In the drawing room he once placed a jar of
earthworms on the grand piano to see whether they could hear.

As an intense heat wave sweeps through China, residents are seeking relief in air raid shelters and swimming
pools to stay cool, and dozens of cities, including Shanghai, Chongqing and Hangzhou, have issued their highest-
level red alert warnings. Shanghai has issued three red alerts this year, with the temperature hitting 40.9 Celsius on
July 13, matching the record set in 2017 since 1873. The fact that Shanghai has experienced only 16 days of 40°C-
plus temperatures since the city began keeping records in 1873 should give us an idea about the seriousness of the
situation.
Medical experts say extreme heat could cause nausea (恶心), fatigue, sunstroke and even death, with senior
citizens and people with long-term illnesses particularly vulnerable to heat waves.
Extreme heat events, which began a month ago, have affected the lives of more than 900 million people in
China. Between June 1 and July 12, the average number of days with temperatures above 35°Cwas 5.3, up 2.4 days
over normal years, breaking the national record set in 1961, according to the National Climate Center.
Parts of Europe are also in the grip of heat waves and experiencing extreme weather events after the western
part of North America faced extreme heat waves last year. In response to the exceptionally high temperatures, the
United Kingdom has declared a national emergency and issued the highest-level red alert warning for Monday and
Tuesday for the first time. More alarmingly, the average global temperature in June this year was 0.4°C higher than
normal years and the highest since 1979, with temperatures in countries such as Spain, France and Italy exceeding40°C.
Unfortunately, extreme heat, which is directly related to climate change, will become more frequent and
intense in the next 30 years, setting new records for high temperatures. As global warming intensifies, losses and
devastation will increase, forcing natural and human systems to raise their adaptation limits.
28. What can we know about the heat waves this year?
A. It may cause more harm to the old and people with long-term illnesses.
B. The number of days above 35°Cin June breaks the national record.
C. Shanghai has experienced a higher temperature than that in 2017.
D. The whole Europe as well as America are suffering from the heat waves.
29. How does the author develop the text?
A. By analyzing and concluding. B. By explaining and contrasting.
C. By giving examples and quoting. D. By giving figures and comparing.
30. According to the writer, what is the trend of extreme heat?
A. Becoming more serious. B. Remaining stable.
C. Staying unpredictable. D. Getting controllable.
31. What is the text mainly about?
A. The solutions to the climate change. B. The economic losses from heat waves.
C. The increase of severe heat waves. D. The destructive effect of global warming.
