22、Norm Pethrick, a 36-year-old man in Australia’s northern city Darwin, was praised on Thursday for jumping onto a crocodile’s back to save his wife Wendy at Litchfield National Park, a popular tourist spot southwest of Darwin, a local newspaper reported.
Ms Pethrick was standing on a river bank Wednesday afternoon when the saltwater crocodile lunged (扑), locking its jaws on both her legs as it tried to drag her underwater.
Norm Pethrick, who with his wife had been collecting water, immediately went to help her. He jumped onto the back, poked (戳) the eyes of the crocodile and finally got his wife free.
Ms Pethrick was later taken to Royal Darwin Hospital for a medical treatment. The doctors said she was suffering eight puncture wounds (伤口) in her right leg, a puncture wound in her left leg and a serious cut to one of her fingers.
“This could have been a fatal and tragic situation,” said the general manager of Royal Darwin Hospital (RDH), Dr Len Notaras, according to a local report.
He said Ms Pethrick was saved by her husband’s “quick and diligent actions”.
Dr Notaras also said she would remain in hospital for three to four days and have an operation to clean the wounds, which are easy to get infected because of bacteria (细菌) on the teeth of the crocodile.

23、In May 2020, as the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic swept Texas, I went to an Austin nature store and bought several bird feeders. Various birds, drawn by seed and other food, came soon afterward. I wasn’t alone. Feeders have long been a popular way to connect with nature and draw in native or nonnative species. But over the past two years, bird feeding has suddenly increased in popularity.
The benefits of all of this supplying have tended to go unquestioned. After all, habitat destruction from human activity is a leading cause of bird population declines, so feeding birds seems like an obvious way to help make up for that loss. But a recent review paper raises a troubling possibility: bird feeding could be reshaping some local environments. “If you’re throwing millions of tons of additional nonnatural resources into an environment, you’re going to get massive, massive impacts,” says lead study author Jack Shutt, a conservation ecologist at Manchester Metropolitan University in England. “And they’re not always going to be the ones that you’re expecting.”
Bird feeding carries a few well-recognized risks. The first among them is disease spread. In 2005 scientists concluded that shared feeders in the U.K. may have helped dove trichomoniasis (滴虫病) jump into European Greenfinches, as a result, it killed up to half a million birds. In the U.S., trichomoniasis outbreaks connected with dirty feeders are common bird killers. “You’ve got different species pecking (啄食) at the same bit of plastic, which is covered in various bird bodily liquid,” says study co-author Alexander Lees, an bird expert at Manchester Metropolitan University. “It’s a cause of disaster.”
What’s necessary, Lees says, is taking the potential impacts seriously enough to carry out further study, which would allow experts to make much more recommendations about where to feed and where to avoid it. Such studies could also help researchers make targeted recommendations about what sorts of food to offer.
【1】What do people tend to believe about bird feeding?
A.It can protect native species.
B.It can attract nonnative species.
C.It can prevent more birds being killed.
D.It can prevent bird population declining.
【2】Which of the following statements would Shutt and Lees agree to?
A.Bird feeding should be prohibited.
B.Bird feeding is a commercial activity.
C.Bird feeding can be a disaster for birds.
D.Bird feeding will not influence ecosystem.
【3】What might experts do in the future in Lees’ opinion?
A.Call on people to stop feeding birds.
B.Encourage more people to feed birds.
C.Help people feed birds more scientifically.
D.Advocate birds’ pecking at the same plastic.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A.Bird feeding: Spreading diseases
B.Bird Feeders: Good or bad for birds
C.Bird Feeders: Of great benefit to birds
D.COVID-19: A terrible disaster for birds
24、Let’s look back all these years you’ve gone through, what have you done for your life? Are you spending your time wisely to make your life worthwhile? Neal Wu shared some ways we should do to make our short time of life meaningful, find out what you need to do next:

Accomplish(完成) things, and the recognition will follow.

26、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使其构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右.
Robert and Henry were two friends in the same class. They always played together and went home together. One day Robert and Henry were going home from school, when, on turning a corner, Robert cried out, “A fight! Let’s go and see!”
“No,” said Henry. “Let us go quietly home and not meddle with(插手) this quarrel. We have nothing to do with it and may get into mischief(trouble). Also our parents are expecting to have dinner with us together at home and I don’t want them to worry about me. ”
“You are a coward, and afraid to go,” said Robert, and off he ran. Henry went straight home, and in the afternoon went to school as usual.
But Robert had told all the boys that Henry was a coward, and they laughed at him a great deal. From then on, they looked down upon Henry and didn’t want to play with him together.
Henry was sad but he wasn’t angry with Robert for his rude behavior, because he learned that true courage is shown most in bearing misunderstanding when it was not deserved, and that he ought to be afraid of nothing but doing wrong. Thus, he just ignored the other boys’ laughter and continued to go to school and study as well. However, Robert didn’t invite Henry to go home with him anymore. Instead, he had some other boys who also thought Henry was a coward. Every day after school, they didn’t go home directly but went to the river or somewhere to play games and had a lot of fun.
A few days later, Robert was bathing with his new friends in a river, and got out of his depth. He struggled, and screamed for help, but all in vain. The boys who had called Henry a coward got out of the water as fast as they could, but they did not even try to help him.
