21、   Nasr Majid started hunting this fall at Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge (保护区) on the Eastern Shore of Maryland in USA. He’s one of the relatively few new hunters who officials hope will help stop a nearly four-decade decline nationally in what has become a hobby for fewer than 5 percent of Americans.

Natural resources and wildlife officials in Maryland are encouraging hunting of deer, turkeys and some other wild animals, which is believed to be good for the environment. Without hunting, they say, sika deer will overpopulate the wildlife refuge and they’ll overeat the bushes and other plants that provide important habitat for birds. On the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay, hunting is also important to prevent the spread of diseases such as Lyme.

In many families, the hunting tradition has been handed down for generations. But as longtime sportsmen age and children lose interest, the number of hunters in the United States fell by 2 million, from 2011 to 2018, to about 11 million.

“Everything is changing. Kids are growing up in front of video games and computers instead of going hunting.” said Chris Markin, a hunting specialist for the state natural resources department. “Adults usually focus on working and providing for their families. Those pressures are preventing many other potential hunters from going out, and from raising the next generation of hunters.”

To avoid such a decline, a new approach is needed. Government agencies and nonprofit groups are now launching mentoring (指导) programs to train more hunters, which not only helps preserve an industry and a culture but also means more protection for wildlife and their habitats through deer population control and investment.

Luckily, there are those still eager to learn, like Majid. He was just looking for an outdoor hobby he could share with his children when he came across the mentorship program. Now, he feels capable of hunting on his own, but also has someone he can text with questions that pop up. His new pastime has already paid off for him—on his second hunt with his mentor, in the last minutes of daylight, he bagged his first deer.

【1】In this passage, Nasr Majid is considered as a symbol of________.

A.devotion B.bravery C.enthusiasm D.hope

【2】What can be inferred from Chris Markin’s words?

A.No one is interested in hunting any more.

B.The hunting tradition is facing challenges.

C.Parents fail to spend enough time with kids.

D.Hunting adds to many adults life pressures.

【3】What does the underlined words “new pastime” refer to?

A.Raising questions. B.Looking for hunters.

C.Learning to hunt. D.Sharing a new hobby.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A.Teach hunters new skills B.Make hunting more popular

C.Reduce the pressure of life D.More protection for wildlife

22、Harbour seals may sound different than expected from their body size. Is this ability related to their vocal (声音的) talents or is it the result of an anatomical (身体结构上的) adaptation? An international team of researchers led by scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics Nijmegen investigated the vocal tracts of harbour seals, which matched their body size. This means that harbour seals are capable of learning new sounds thanks to their brains rather than their anatomy.

Most animals produce calls that reflect their body size. A larger animal will sound lower-pitched because its vocal tract, the air-filled tube that produces and filters sounds, is longer. But harbour seals do not always sound like they look. They may sound larger —perhaps to impress a rival (对手)—or smaller—perhaps to get attention from their mothers. Are these animals very good at learning sounds (vocal learners), or have their vocal tracts adapted to allow this vocal flexibility?

To answer this question, PhD student Koen De Reus and senior investigator Andrea Ravignani from the MPI worked together with researchers from Sealcentre Pieterburen. The team measured young harbour seals’ vocal tracts and body size. The measurements were taken from 68 young seals (up to twelve months old) who had died. The team also re-analysed previously gathered harbour seal vocalisations to confirm their impressive vocal flexibility.

De Reus and Ravignani found that the length of harbour seals’ vocal tracts matched their body size. There were no anatomical explanations for their vocal skills. Rather, the researchers argue that only vocal learning can explain why harbour seals do not always sound like they look. “Vocal learners will sound different from their body size, but the size of their vocal tracts will match their body size. The combined findings from acoustic (听觉的) and anatomical data may help us to identify more vocal learners,” says de Reus. “Studying different vocal learners may help us to find the biological bases of vocal learning and shed light on the evolution of complex communication systems, such as speech.” “The more we look, the more we see that seals have something to say about human speech capacities.” adds Ravignani.

【1】What can we learn from the passage?

A．Harbour seals’ voice matches their body size.

B．If harbour seals were in danger, they would sound larger.

C．The young harbour seals produce higher-pitched sound than the old.

D．Harbour seals have their vocal tracts adapted to allow their vocal flexibility.

【2】Why did De Reus and Ravignani conduct their research?

A．To explain why harbour seals’ voice is flexible.

B．To confirm the flexibility of harbour seals’ voice.

C．To find out the relation between harbour seals’ vocal tracts and their body size.

D．To prove harbour seals are capable of learning new sound because of their anatomy.

【3】What’s the meaning of the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?

A．Seals have something to do with humans.

B．Studying seals contributes to improving humans speech capacities.

C．The more we know about seals’ vocal learning, the better our speech will be.

D．The deeper insight into seals’ vocal learning contributes to human speech capacities.

【4】Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?

A．Harbour Seals’ Voice

B．Harbour Seals’ Vocal Skills

C．Harbour Seals’ Vocal Learning

D．Harbour Seals’ Vocal Adaptation

23、Extracting CO2 from the air is one of the best ways to address climate change without preventing billions of people from getting the energy they need. But the trick is what to do with it afterwards.

Common approaches include injecting it deep underground to get rid of it. But if you could use it to make useful stuff, then it would do double duty and make the products zero-carbon since they wouldn’t put extra carbon into the atmosphere. For years, focus has been on making zero-carbon petrol or jet fuel from the extracted carbon using non-fossil fuels to generate the energy needed.

Today, XPRIZE revealed the two winners in this year’s 20-million-dollar prize for a contest developed to create breakthrough carbon technologies that turn emissions into products with a high net value. The winners were CarbonCure of Canada and CarbonBuilt of California. Interestingly, they both demonstrated technologies focused on decarbonizing the concrete industry.

CarbonBuilt developed a technology that reduces the carbon footprint of concrete by more than 50% while reducing raw material costs. During the curing process, CO2 is directly injected into the concrete mixture where it is chemically transformed and permanently stored.

CarbonCure’s technology enables the production of concrete with a reduced water and carbon footprint while increasing the material’s reliability. The CO2 is transformed into a permanently embedded mineral which can then be combined with new concrete mixes. The technology is able to reduce the material costs and increase profitability for producers.

Concrete is a major contributor to global warming as producing it releases a huge amount of carbon dioxide. Yet it’s the most widely used artificial material, second only to water. Renewable energy sources use much concrete per unit energy produced. If they are to increase enough to make a difference in time to help the planet, getting control of the CO2 in concrete production is essential.

【1】What does the underlined part “double duty” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A．Extracting CO2 and making useful products.

B．Cutting CO2 emission and saving energy.

C．Removing CO2 and creating value.

D．Storing carbon and reducing waste.

【2】Which is NOT a shared benefit of the two winners’ technologies?

A．They permanently store the CO2.

B．They make concrete more reliable.

C．They reduce the carbon footprint of concrete.

D．They lower the cost of concrete.

【3】What is stressed in the last paragraph?

A．To find an alternative to concrete.

B．To invest in clean energy sources.

C．To cut the use of concrete.

D．To handle the carbon footprint of concrete.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A．The trick of removing CO2 from the air.

B．Innovative ways of decarbonization.

C．A revolution in the concrete industry.

D．The possibility of turning CO2 into treasure.

24、Today we’ll talk about reading．When we read a text，our eyes move across a page in short，quick movements．We recognize words usually when our eyes still fixate（停留，凝视）．Each time they fixate，we see a group of words．This is known as the recognition span or the visual span（视幅）．The length of time for which the eyes stop varies from person to person．It also varies within any parson according to his purpose in reading and his familiarity with the text．In addition，it can be affected by such factors as lighting and tiredness．

  Unfortunately，in the past，many reading improvement courses have concentrated too much on how our eyes move across the page．As a result of this misleading emphasis（强调）on the purely visual aspects of reading，many exercises have been designed to train the eyes to see more words at one fixation．For example，in some exercises，words are flashed on to a screen for a tenth of a second．One of the exercises has required students to fix their eyes on some central point，taking in the words on either side．Such word patterns are often formed in the shape of pyramids（金字塔），so the reader takes in more and more words at each successive（连续的）fixation．All these exercises are very clever，but it' s one thing to improve a person’s ability to see words and quite another thing to improve his ability to read a text efficiently．Reading requires the ability to understand the relationship between words．Consequently，for these reasons，many experts have now begun to question the usefulness of eye training，especially since any approach which trains a person to read isolated（孤立的）words and phrases would seem unlikely to help him in reading a continuous text．

【1】The time of the recognition span can be affected by the following factors except _______．

A． 1ighting and tiredness

B． the length of a group of words

C． one’s purpose in reading

D． one’s familiarity with the text

【2】The author may believe that reading ______________．

A． requires a reader to take in more words at each fixation

B． requires a reader to see words more quickly

C． demands a deeply-participating mind

D． demands more eyes than mind

【3】What does the author mean by the underlined sentence in the second paragraph?

A． The ability to see words is not needed for an efficient reading．

B． The reading exercises mentioned are useless for reading．

C． The reading exercises mentioned can’t help improve reading．

D． The reading exercises mentioned have done a great job so far．

【4】Which of the following is NOT true? _______________．

A． The visual span is a word or a group of words we see each time

B． Many experts began to question the efficiency of eye training

C． The emphasis on the purely visual aspects is misleading

D． The eye training will help readers in reading a continuous text

【5】The tune of the author in writing this text is _________________．

A． critical    B． neutral

C． supportive D． optimistic
