21、Pigs may have a decided lack of table manners, but they are otherwise one of the more intelligent animals around.

Further evidence of their intellect has come from a new study that examined how well pigs might do with a simple video game and joystick. Given sufficient motivation, pigs know how to play.

Candace Croney of Purdue University published the results in the journal Frontiers in Psychology. Four pigs — Hamlet, Omelet, Ebony, and Ivory were taken in front of a screen that featured a simple game where a cursor (光标) could be directed into a wall with a joystick. If the pig was able to hit the wall with the cursor, they’d be rewarded with food.

All of the pigs had some success, but there was a clear difference in skill. Two of the pigs, Hamlet and Omelet, found the game’s increasing difficulty with two or more walls hard to navigate (指引). Ivory was clearly better than Ebony, hitting the wall 76 percent of the time to Ebony’s 34 percent.

Their success may have been restricted somewhat by their long mouth. Because their long mouths are right in front of their eyes when they look directly at the screen. They may have caught glimpses of the screen only before and after moving the joystick, not during. That could mean the pigs had to rely on some short-term memory to understand the movement of the cursor.

Curiously, the pigs continued playing even after the food reward was taken away. Researchers gave them gentle verbal encouragement to continue.

This isn’t Croney’s first study with pigs. Back in 1997, she focused her doctoral work on pig cognizance (认知), including a task in which pigs used a joystick to move one of several shapes across the screen to fit the single shape that matched it. Such experiments demonstrate that pigs appear to understand the connection between moving the joystick and the cursor, and that doing so successfully results in a reward.

【1】What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?

A．What pigs can learn.

B．Why pigs are intelligent.

C．How the study is conducted.

D．Why researchers do the study.

【2】Why do the pigs fail to see the cursor while moving the joystick?

A．Their long mouths block the view.

B．The joystick is far from the screen.

C．The cursor only appears after moving the joystick.

D．They concentrate on the movements of the joystick.

【3】What do we know about pigs from this text?

A．They are interested in food.

B．They are intelligent in some ways.

C．They are equally skilled at playing games.

D．They don’t play games without food.

【4】What is the best title of this text?

A．Pigs Lack Table Manners

B．Pigs Have Good Memories

C．Pigs Can Be Taught to Play Video Games

D．Pigs Are More Intelligent than Other Animals

22、   Six years ago, Sam Shapiro’s family adopted a 15-year-old boy from Cite Soleil, Haiti. A few years later, in June 2015, Shapiro wanted to learn more about where his brother grew up, so he visited his brother’s hometown.

What Shapiro saw was a small city where 100 percent of the population lived in poverty. He saw homeless children with no access to education, activities or safe spaces to play. He also saw a run-down, abandoned basketball court.

Shapiro couldn’t fix everything. But he could do something.

“I thought athletics could be used to give kids opportunities for organized activities that could keep them off the streets,” said Shapiro.

A year after his first visit, Shapiro returned to Cite Soleil with his friend Jack Moe. The next month, Shapiro and Moe- then 16-year-old sophomores (大二学生) at the Blake School – formed a nonprofit, called “Sprint to Cite Soleil”, to benefit the city’s youth.

The core program of Sprint to Cite Soleil is basketball, but it also consists of nutrition and community-building to benefit children aged 5 to 18.

“Our mission originally was to provide a new basketball court,” said Moe. “But we soon realized that a lot of kids wanted to play basketball, and more than just a court was needed. We sent jerseys, basketballs, basketball pumps and shoes. Hundreds of kids showed up for a clinic.”

They soon hired 10 coaches and four cooks to prepare nutritious meals for the 160 boys and girls who train every Saturday and Sunday.

And they hired director Joseph Sadrack, a local native, whom Shapiro calls “trustworthy and right for the leadership position ...”

From the start, Shapiro, Moe and Sadrack agreed on how the program should develop.

“We are very much a partnership,” said Shapiro. “Personally, I’ve seen a lot of organizations trying to help in foreign countries. They have their own mindset and want to do things their way.”

“I’m not living there,” he continued. “I don’t know what they need. Before any decision is made, we ask Joseph, ‘What can we do?’ and, ‘What do they need?’”

Now sophomores in college - Shapiro at Wake Forest University in North Carolina and Moe at Stanford in California - they continue their work as co-presidents of the nonprofit.

Shapiro said it’s been a rewarding experience.

“I’m proud that, despite the somewhat of a language and cultural barrier, we’re able to communicate,” said Shapiro. “I’m proud that others believe in us and trust us. That’s what we’re most proud of. Being able to create it and maintain it.”

【1】Why did Shapiro go to Haiti?

A.To visit his brother.

B.To do a part-time job.

C.To help his family adopt a kid.

D.To learn about his brother’s hometown.

【2】What do we know about Sprint to Cite Soleil?

A.It is only run by two American boys.

B.It makes profits from the local government.

C.It stopped after Shapiro became a sophomore.

D.It provides resources for children and teens.

【3】What does Shapiro learn from the program?

A.The language barrier is a big problem.

B.It will be great for his future career.

C.It is difficult but gives him a good feeling.

D.It is too expensive but he will continue.

23、   Approximately 90 percent of the young Chinese participating in the latest survey conducted by the Global Times Research Center believe China should not “look up to the West” anymore.

Chinese analysts said the sustainable and fast development of China is the core (核心的) reason why more Chinese are becoming increasingly confident, and some key elements have sped up the process such as the rise of Trumpism (特朗普主义) in the US.

The survey, titled “Changing attitudes toward the West among young Chinese people,” showed that there has been a significant change in attitude among young people toward Western countries, as a growing number of respondents see them as equals while many previously looked up to them.

The survey showed 37.2 percent of the participants said that five years ago, they still believed they should “look up to the West”, but now, only 8.1 percent of these people have the same view. Meanwhile, the people who “look down on the West” rose to 41.7 percent while only 18.4 percent of them held the same opinion as they did five years ago. About 48.3 percent of the participants believe they should see the West equally now.

The core reasons that have driven such changes are mostly concerned with China’s achievements in recent years. For example, 53.8 percent of interviewees chose “China’s successful epidemic (流行病) prevention and control amid the COVID-19 pandemic”, 40.5 percent selected “China’s cooperation with other countries under the Belt and Road Initiative”, 37.6 percent said “China is the only major economy that keeps growing when the world economy is in a shadow”.

Viewing the West equally does not mean that China will be proud or will oppose the West. The survey also shows that the participants are realistic and rational as they are aware that the West still has advantages over China in certain fields. For example, 64.6 percent of the participants said China should still learn from the West in the fields of science and technology.

【1】According to the passage, why are more Chinese becoming increasingly confident?

A．Because Trumpism is rising in the US.

B．Because China has been developing rapidly and steadily.

C．Because there are few patients with the COVID-19 pandemic in China.

D．Because China cooperates with other countries under the Belt and Road Initiative.

【2】How does the author make comparisons to draw the conclusion?

A．By giving examples.

B．By listing figures.

C．By making remarks.

D．By showing facts.

【3】What can be inferred from the passage?

A．China will he the most powerful country in the world.

B．Most young Chinese are probably unwilling to go to the West.

C．Cooperation and win-win contributes to China’s development.

D．China’s economy is the strongest when the world economy is in a shadow.

【4】What’s the author’s attitude towards the survey?

A．Objective

B．Disapproving

C．Supportive

D．Subjective

24、Our “Mommy and Me” time began two years ago. My next-door neighbor and fellow mother, Christie, and I were out in our front yards, watching seven children of age 6 and under ride their bikes up and down. “I wish I could take one of my children out alone,” said Christie.

Then we worked out a plan: When Christie takes one of her children out, I’ll watch her other three. And when she watches two of mine, I’ll take someone out.

The children were extremely quick to accept the idea of “Mommy and Me” time. Christie’s daughter, McKenzie, went first. When she returned, the other children asked her tons of questions. McKenzie was smiling broadly. Christie looked refreshed and happy. “She’s like a different child when there’s no one else around,” Christie shared with me quickly. With her mother all to herself, McKenzie didn’t have to make an effort to gain attention.

Just as Christie had noticed changes in McKenzie, I also discovered something different in each of my children during our alone times. For example, I am always surprised when my daughter, who is seldom close to me, holds my hand frequently. My stuttering（口吃的）son, Tom, doesn’t stutter once during our activities since he doesn’t have to struggle for a chance to speak. And the other son, Sam, who’s always a follower when around other children shines as a leader during our times together.

The “Mommy and Me” time allows us to be simply alone and away with each child ---talking, sharing, and laughing, which has been the biggest gain. Every child deserves to be an only child at least once in a while.

【1】What is the text mainly about?

A. The happy life of two families.

B. The experience of the only child being with mother.

C. The advantage of spending time with one child at a time

D. The basic needs of children.

【2】Right after McKenzie came back, the other children were _____________.

A. happy   B. curious   C. regretful D. friendly

【3】What is one of the changes the author finds in her children?

A. Tom has less difficulty in speaking.

B. Sam holds her hand more often.

C. The daughter acts like a leader.

D. The boys become better followers.

【4】The author seems to believe that ___________.

A. having brothers and sisters is fun

B. parents should watch others’ children

C. it’s tiring to look after three children

D. every child needs parents’ full attention

25、   Havard Lorentzen, a Norwegian speed skater, was sitting on a hospital bed in his hometown. He received the _______ news that he might not be able to skate again because of an injury during a training interval (间隙). The promising young athlete _______ his right calf (小腿) on the inside pretty bad with his left skate accidentally.

“The skin was just _______ off my calf when I looked down. It was far from a _______ sight." Lorentzen explained, _______ now able to laugh at the frightening details. After the emergency surgery in Germany, Lorentzen flew home. But things got worse when the skin on his leg turned black and _______. He had to go to a local hospital where the doctors helped him by taking skin from a _______ part of the body and put it on the injury.

Given he was unable to _______ for weeks, the _______ was not a simple process for a young man used to doing everything at pace. But everything began to __________ for the better. First, it helped him be even more focused on important details like sleep and __________ because he needed to come back to the ice quicker. More importantly, he felt less __________ on the ice."I think it is because I knew what kind of consequences there were if I __________, now that I had experienced them." he said.

This new Lorentzen was a different prospect on the ice. He became the champion of the Olympic 500m speed skating in late 2020. He has set his sights firmly on Beijing 2022 and will be ready to __________ his Olympic title. After all, the __________man on ice is a pretty cool title to tell the grandchildren about.
