But among a record-breaking heatwave, 2020 is the worst burningyear yet. As of the September 2020, more than 7,600 fires burned over 2.5m acres of land. Theseason ran for more than several months.That fits a long-term trend, for Californias wild fires are getting steadily worse. Large fires inthe 2010s burned 6.8m acres on average, up from 3.3m acres in the 1990s. The fire season in 2020lasted nearly three months longer than it did in the 1970s. Over the past decade, the state has spentan average of $3.7bn a year fighting fires. Add the cost of rebuilding, treating victims andrestoration, and that is perhaps a tenth of the total cost.The reason is a double blow of climate change and development. More homes are being builtnext to forests, in what experts call the wild-land-urban interface (WUI). A 2018 study estimatedthat roughly a third of American homes were in the WUL Pricey housing has pushed people inCalifornia onto cheaper land close to the wilderness. At the same time, climate change islengthening the dry season, which stores up fuel fbr fires. In California, a “huge drought - in whichdry years become more common and wet ones scarcer (稀少)-is making matters even worse.Since neither trend shows much sign of turning around, people on Americas west coast willhave to learn to co-exist with more and more frequent fires. Ifs not that different to building on anearthquake active region/ says Max Moritz, a wildfire expert at the University of California atSanta Barbara.

What is the authors purpose in writing the text?A. To instruct.B. To warn.C. To persuade. D. To inform.DTeens who have good, supportive relationships with their teachers enjoy better health as adults,according to research published by an American research center.“This research suggests that improving students* relationships with teachers could havepositive and long-lasting effects beyond just academic success, said Jinho Kim, a professor atKorea University and author of the study. It could also bring about health implications in the longrun.Previous research has suggested that teens* social relationships might be linked to healthoutcomes in adulthood. However, it is not clear whether the link between teen relationships andlifetime health is causal （因果的）-it could be that other factors, such as different familybackgrounds, might contribute to both relationship problems in adolescence and to poor health inadulthood. Also, most research has focused on teens* relationships with their peers （同龄人）,rather than on their relationships with teachers.To explore those questions further, Kim analyzed data on nearly 20,000 participants from theAdd Health study, a national study in the U.S. that followed participants from seventh grade intoearly adulthood. The participant pool included more than 3,400 pairs of siblings （兄弟姐妹）.Asteens, participants answered questions, like “How often have you had trouble getting along withother students and your teachers? As adults, participants were asked about their physical andmental health.Kim found that participants who had reported better relationships with both their peers andteachers in middle and high school also reported better physical and mental health in their mid-20s.However, when he controlled for family background by looking at pairs of siblings together, onlythe link between good teacher relationships and adult health remained significant.The results suggest teacher relationships are more important than previously realized and thatschools should invest in training teachers on how to build warm and supportive relationships withtheir students. This is not something that most teachers receive much training in,” Kim said, but itshould be.12. What does the underlined word implications0 in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Recipes.B. Habits.C. Benefits.D. Risks.13. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. Poor health in adolescence.B. Limitations of the previous research.C. Teens relationships with their peers.D. Factors affecting health in adulthood.14 What does Kims research show?A. Good adult health depends on teens* good teachers.B. Good family background promises long-term adult health.C. Healthy peer relationships leads to students* academic success.D. Positive student-teacher relationship helps students* adult health.15. Where does this text probably come from?A. A health magazine.B. A medical report.C. A term paper.D. A family survey.河北省邯郸市2020-2021学年度高三年级一模考试英语试卷第一节（共15小题;每小题2. 5分，满分37. 5分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。ADecember is made for shoppers.

Everyone, without doubt,goes through changes in their life, whether it is a physical state of aging or mental state ofemotional maturity.

At the age of 37, he is a Senior Manager at one of the Big Four.He has a great salary, owns his own apartment and enjoys the fine things in life, but not withoutthe heavy burdens that his job brings.

Dont Try to Control YourselfD. You Should Make Alteration EarlierDMicroplastics, the kind of current working definition, are plastic particles less than fivemillimeters. So people commonly think the microplastic to be something like a grain of rice orsesame seed. Actually, most of the microplastics that people are interacting with are quite a bitsmaller than the sesame seed size, so it always shocks people when they know about the numberof microplastics because they can hardly see a lot of these things, at least with thenaked eye.Kieran Cox, PhD candidate in marine 海洋的）biology at the University of Victoria is one ofthe authors of the study, which is in the journal Environmental Science Technology. For their study,Cox and his team pulled together past scientific literature that calculated the number ofmicroplastics in things we commonly consume such as in tap and bottled water, in the air that webreathe. This analysis helped them figure out the baseline amount of microplastics that people areconsuming every year. They couldnt include common foods like beef, vegetables and dairy intheir analysis because the data on them doesnt exist yet. In fact, their study could account for only15 percent of peoples caloric intake. Even missing the majority of what people swallow, theresearch revealed that-at the very least-humans appear to consume somewhere between 74, 000and 121, 000 microplastics every year. That number goes up for people drinking bottled waterrather than tap water. Now, is all the plastic safe to take in? Scientists dont know yet. This is likethe first estimate of the dose which means an amount of medicine that is taken once So the amountis a very important factor to think about, but it is very difficult to estimate because it is what wedont know.32. What do we know about the microplastic?A. It s much bigger than a grain of rice.B. It*s barely seen without an instrument.C. It can be a kind of fish feed.D. Its harmless to humans.33. What is the second paragraph mainly about?A. The study of microplastics people consume.B. The analysis of past scientific literature, ibidD. The study of marine biology.C. The amount of microplastics in food.34. Which aspect should scientists focus on in further study according to the text?A
