21．At the end of the last ice age，around 11700 years ago，Earth's climate began warming rapidly.As the planet heated up，its vast glaciers（冰川）fell back.Almost immediately afterwards volcanic （火山的） activity increased.That was nothing new.The geological record has plenty of evidence of big glacial disappearance that is followed by more frequent volcanic eruptions.Glaciers，in other words，seem to control volcanoes，which flourish in their absence.
This，at least，is the case for really big climatic swings.What has been less clear is whether more modest changes in ice cover might also affect the rate of eruptions.Given that humans are busy warming the planet，and therefore shrinking the few glaciers that still exist，this question matters.It would be good to know if more volcanic eruptions might be another consequence of global warmjye.aig.In a paper just published in Geology，Graeme Swindles a geographer at the University of Leeds，suggests that it will-eventually.
The fine details of how glaciers are linked to volcanic eruptions are unknown.But volcanologists theorise that pressure is key.The idea is that the weight of large ice sheets press the crust and mantle （地殼和地幔） below.That closes up channels within the rock through which magma（巖漿）travels towards the surface.It also leaves less room for surface water to make its way down into the rocks，where，as steam，it can increase the pressure within magma chambers（巖漿房）.Remove the ice，by contrast，and those processes go into reverse.
Dr Swindles and his colleagues studied layers of ash from Icelandic volcanoes that were deposited over Iceland and northern Europe during the relatively mild period since the end of the ice age，as well as volcanic sediments（沉淀物） from Iceland itself.Their analysis revealed an unusual period between 5500 and 4500 years ago when no ash from Icelandic volcanoes found its way to Europe and when the sediment record from Iceland suggests that no major eruptions took place.When Dr Swindles compared the volcanic record with the climate literature，he found that the absence of eruptions came after a big change in atmospheric circulation patterns about 6100 years ago.That would have encouraged Iceland's glaciers to advance.When conditions changed again a thousand years later，this time to favour glacial disappearance，volcanic activity picked up after a few hundred years.
Based upon these findings，Dr Swindles argues that even minor increases and decreases in glacier cover probably do affect volcanic activity，although with a time lag of perhaps five or six hundred years.
（1）Why is the answer to whether changes in glaciation are related to the volcanic activity important？
A．The new ice age has started.
B．There are more eruptions now.
C．Glaciers are gradually disappearing.
D．It has long been a question of interest.
（2）Which of the following is a possibility that the word "reverse" （in paragraph 3）refer to？
A．There is less pressure in magma chambers.
B．Less water goes into magma chambers.
C．Less magma travels to the surface.
D．Ice sheets weighs less and less.
（3）Paragraph 4 is intended to.
A．describe an unusual period in history
B．compare glaciation in two different periods
C．explain the evolution of volcanic eruptions
D．provide evidence for Dr Swindles's argument
（4）Which of the following might be the best title of the passage？
A．Less ice，more fire
B．Volcanic eruptions：a mixed blessing
C．Shrinking glaciers
D．A new reason for global warming組卷：1引用：1難度：0.5

22．
Television past and future Everyone knows that Scotsman John Logie Baird invented the first television：in the early1920s，he made a basic television which transmitted pictures，but he didn't develop his idea further. （1）A.Most people didn't watch as there were only about 100 television sets in Britain at that time.
B.However，thanks to him，the idea inspired other inventors to go further.
C.The first country to change from analogue to digital television was the USA in June 2009.
D.But not many people know that Vladimir Zworykin，a Russian inventor invented the first electronic television in 1929.
E.It was not until the late 20th century that TV became a household product.
F.Technology started to develop faster and faster in the second half of the 20th century.People often call him "the father of television' as his invention became the basis of all modern televisions.
The BBC（the British Broadcasting Corporation） made its first TV programmes in 1936. （2）There were programmes for only two hours a day-except Sundays，when they didn't show any programmes at all!As well as news and sports cookery programmes were popular even in the1930s；Frenchman Marcel Boulestin became the first TV chef in 1937.The first TV advertisement，in 1941，was for a Bulova clock：it lasted 20 seconds and the company paid just ﹩9 to show it during a baseball game in New York.（3）Colour TV came to the USA in the 1950s，to Japan in1960 and to Europe and South America in the late 1960s and early1970s.Meanwhile in 1967 people all over the world watched as The Beatles sang on the programme Our World，the first-ever satellite TV programme.The world's first video recorders came from Japan in the mid-1970，but DVD players didn't appear until November 1996 also made by Japanese companies.
From 2005，it became possible to watch TV on your mobile phone thanks to 3 G technology. （4）Canada and Japan did the same in 2011.People watched the first TV programme nearly 80 years ago.After the huge changes in television broadcasting in the 20th century，who knows what the next 80 years will bring？組卷：1引用：1難度：0.6
