21、   The preventive measures for forest fires include some preemptive(抢先)methods that can help reduce the risks of fires and control their severity and spread, and thus, maintain ecological balance and protect resources. Close monitoring of forest fires caused by natural factors can help prevent their spread to a large extent. To contain forest fires, fire departments usually use water and chemical fire retardants(抑制剂) that can be dropped from planes and helicopters. To control the spread of a wildfire, firefighters usually create a control line by removing all fuel from an area so that the fire cannot travel across it.

Controlled burns are often employed by government authorities to reduce fuel buildup, and clean up the fallen leaves, and thus, prevent the spread of forest fires to a vast area. Regular controlled burns can also help maintain biodiversity(生物多样性), as the smoke and heat produced in the process can facilitate(促进) the growth of seeds of certain plant species. Apart from these, responsible human behavior can help reduce the number of forest fires to a great extent. In fact, we can reduce the number of wildfires dramatically by not leaving behind any source of fire in the forest.

Forest fires can affect climate and weather to a great extent, besides causing severe damage to valuable trees. Wildfires can increase the level of greenhouse gases(water vapor, carbon dioxide, etc), and therefore increase pollution and global warming. However, they are also an important part of the ecosystem, and many plants depend on the heat and smoke generated by wildfires for their growth and reproduction. But large wildfires can cause extensive damage to the ecosystem, which again highlights the importance of effective control and prevention of forest fires.

【1】What may be the best title for this passage?

A.Control and Prevention of Forest Fires B.How to Keep Ecological Balance

C.Effects of Forest Fires D.Methods of Fire Spread Control

【2】Firefighters get rid of all fuel in all area in order to ____________．

A.keep close monitoring of forest fires B.prevent the forest fire from occurring

C.protect the animals there D.stop the wildfire from spreading

【3】The government arranges some controlled burns to_______________．

A.burn the rubbish and keep the forest clean

B.help keep ecological balance of nature

C.reduce fuel building up and limit forest fires spread.

D.provide reasonable conditions for some plants’ growth.

【4】A controlled forest fire may play a positive role because ________________.

A.a new forest will appear soon.

B.it promotes the development of some seeds

C.nature keeps its balance only by wildfires.

D.it makes the trees grow faster than before.

22、Museums can be overwhelming. With thousands of pieces there, how do you know which to focus on? And once you see a piece you like, how do you interact with it? Here is some advice on how to have a meaningful connection when you look at art.

Get up close and personal.【1】 Therefore, take your time to observe qualities about a work that may not come through on a computer screen. That includes its look and the feel of its surface, the marks made by the brush and the path your eyes take when viewing the work.

Stand back. Next, take a few steps back, stand in the center — and observe what’s happening in the big picture. What’s going on in the piece? 【2】 What are they doing? How are they related?

Look at it from an angle. Then try looking at an artwork from its sides, because you might catch something you might not have seen straight on. If it’s something like The Ambassadors by Holbein at The National Gallery in London, if you stand to the side, you’ll see something that from front on looks very different. 【3】 That’s called anamorphic art.

Move your body. If you’re looking at a painting, you can take a finger to the air and trace the outline of the figure or the movement of the brushstrokes. 【4】 This can help you see and feel what it might be like to make this artwork from the artist’s perspective.

Consider the subject of the art. That can have a profound effect on how you feel about the work-and perhaps you can learn something from it. Take the example of Andrew Wyeth’s famous painting, Christina’s World, which depicts (描绘) a girl with a muscle disease crawling across a field to get to her home in the distance. The painting personifies (体现) determination.【5】

A．So just keep an open mind.

B．What have they gone through?

C．When you stand to the side, it changes.

D．How are the figures in the piece arranged?

E．We have the luxury of seeing the real thing at a museum.

F．When looking at sculptures, try the poses with your body.

G．It can in a way relieve your stress to know we have this inner strength.

23、Science News

Tool to crow about

New Caledonian crows, birds with surprising and impressive abilities, seem to use tools constantly, not just when they’re trying to get food. Oxford researchers report that New Caledonian crows use sticks to poke (戳) at new and potentially threatening objects, providing the first evidence that birds use tools for more than just finding food. Of the 10 crows tested in the experiment, four used sticks to poke at and explore a rubber spider (蜘蛛), a flashing bicycle light and other items that they had never seen before, the scientists report online in Animal Cognition. Checking out possible threats without making direct contact may benefit curious birds like crows.

Apes (猿) show handedness

Contrary to earlier reports, ape species, including chimpanzees, gorillas and orangutans, show humanlike hand preferences when handling objects. Chimpanzees and gorillas favored the right hand and orangutans the left hand, a team led by psychologist William Hopkins of Agnes Scott College, found in a study to appear in the Journal of Human Evolution. Hopkins and his colleagues observed which hand 777 apes used to reach peanut butter inside a long tube. He wants to explore reasons for orangutans’ left-handedness. No human societies exist in which the majority of individuals are left-handed, and neither are there societies in which left-handedness is completely absent.

Plants go downhill

Researchers looking uphill for biological responses to climate change may be missing species moving downhill, say researchers from California. Plant species do move, as seeds that are spread tend to grow better in one place than in another. As temperatures rise, some species could, or already do, move uphill to find the kind of cool spots they’re used to. But the best elevation (高度) for a plant to maintain its water balance can shift with climate change. Comparing survey and climate records from the 1930s and the present day for 64 California plant species, the best water-balancing elevation shifted downhill more often than up, the scientists report in Science.

【1】What was the crows’ purpose in using sticks?

A.To move objects. B.To find some food.

C.To threaten a spider. D.To avoid possible danger.

【2】What does the underlined “Apes show handedness” imply?

A.Apes prefer to use one hand rather than the other.

B.Apes prefer to use the right hand like humans.

C.Apes tend to use their hands to handle objects.

D.Apes use their hands for different purposes.

【3】According to the text, what causes plant species to move uphill?

A.Their water needs. B.Climate records.

C.Global warming. D.The low elevation.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A.Scientific discoveries. B.Scientific experiments.

C.Scientific approaches. D.Scientific theories.

24、It’s a simple yet effective message that appeals, and leads to a satisfying way of motivating us to promote environmentalism in our own way.

Born in Nairobi, Lesein Mutunkei is in his late teens, and his Trees4Goals is the means with which he intends to make the world greener. It unites two of his self-declared passions in life: love of the outdoors, with his love of football. Lesein enjoyed walking in the forest, but recognised his country was experiencing a serious loss of tree cover. Between 2001 and 2020, Kenya lost an estimated 11% of trees, releasing as many as 176 million tons of CO2.

In a blog post for WWF Kenya, Lesein revealed that, once he started the Trees4Goals initiative, he originally planned to plant one tree per goal. By 2020, he wanted to take his efforts even further. What started as one tree planted per goal mushroomed into 11 trees planted per goal. Explaining the reasoning behind expanding the tree-planting, he said, “It represents team effort in football and the contribution by my team. I have managed to hit the 1, 000th tree milestone in the last two years.”

While it’s something of an own goal to destroy the forests and jungles providing enormous biodiversity, innovative initiatives like Trees4Goals are an assured way to score an environmentalist hat-trick. Football is popular. It cuts through cultural barriers irrespective of the country it is played in. By increasing the trees planted per goal, with more such initiatives springing up, even more will be grown.

Like a seed, best ideas start small and change into something that can become far larger than anticipated. While Lesein continues planting 11 trees per goal, Kenyan government is aiming to ensure the planting of 1. 8 billion trees to reach 10% forest coverage. The science behind is clear: if 900 million hectares are devoted to half a trillion trees, the world can offset(抵消)half of all carbon released since 1960.

【1】What gave Lesein the idea of launching the project?

A．Release of too much CO2.

B．Dream of motivating others.

C．Passion for sports and nature.

D．Habit of exercising in the woods.

【2】What did Lesein do in 2020?

A．He created a blog for WWF.

B．He multiplied his commitment.

C．He planted one tree for each goal.

D．He extended his work to other teams.

【3】What do the underlined words “own goal” in paragraph 4 refer to?

A．Aim that is intended to achieve.

B．Action that harms one’s own interests.

C．Pursuit toward which effort is directed.

D．Goal that is scored for the opposing team.

【4】What can we learn from Lesein’s story?

A．United, we win.

B．No pains, no gains.

C．Love me, love my dog.

D．Small deeds, big difference.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

I looked around at the other patients waiting to see the doctor. Maybe they all had more romantic plans for the evening on this Valentine’s Day, but for now the group seemed anti-social. Three people had their heads down, staring at cell phones. Another was absorbed in a magazine. The receptionist tapped at her computer. Everyone was in their own little world.

But I couldn’t judge them for it. I would probably be buried in my cell phone too—if I hadn’t forgotten to charge it before I left home. It would have been nice to strike up a conversation to pass the time on this day, a day of love and friendship. Instead I sat patiently in my plastic chair as a couple of new people took distant seats.

“Roberta? The doctor’s ready for you,” the nurse called. At least I’ll have some kind of human connection, I thought.

My checkup went well, and I breezed out of the office to my little Honda in a space right out front. I got in and tured the key. Nothing. Oh, no. Not again. I’d sent the car to the garage several times already for this very problem and thought it had finally been fixed.

I reached for my cell phone to call AAA — then remembered. It was dead, like my car. I would have to use the phone inside. A few people glanced up when I came back into the waiting room, then quickly went back to what they were doing. I went straight to the reception desk, but the receptionist was not there. So I tured back to the people in the waiting room.

“I wouldn’t normally do this,” I said to the group, hoping that I sounded apologetic. Several people tured toward me to listen. “But my car won’t start …”

The nurse popped her head into the room. “You in trouble, Roberta?” she said. “I’ll go and take a look.” I followed the nurse outside. As I passed through the door, I felt someone was behind me.
