21、In nature, octopuses (章鱼) hunt mainly with their sense of touch, using their eight arms to feel out their environment for hidden creatures. Researchers at the University of Minnesota recently studied a different way octopuses hunt—when they identify prey (猎物) based on sight. The study findings show that the marine creatures are quite consistent and methodical in how they approach prey.
Lead researcher Trevor Wardill and his team placed California two-spot octopuses into water tanks, hiding them in caves where they would have one eye looking out. They then placed either fiddler crabs or white shrimp in the tanks to see how the octopuses would try to catch them, capturing the interactions on video. The crabs and shrimp behave differently when trying to escape from predators (捕猎者), so using both species gave the researchers an opportunity to see whether this led the octopuses to use a different arm for hunting depending on the prey.
Wardill’s team found that the octopuses almost always used the same arm to grab their prey. Specifically, the second arm from the middle of the octopuses’ body, on the same side of their body as the eye, caught the prey. If they needed more arms to grab prey, they would use the ones next to the second arm.
The octopuses also attacked differently depending on the prey. When faced with crabs, an octopus would move suddenly on top of the crab with its whole body. However, when catching shrimp, the octopuses would take one arm and reach out very slowly toward the shrimp, then grab it and latch (缠住) onto it with its other arms to pull it in.
Wardill and his team hope to do more research. They want to study the octopus’s brain as it attacks pre y to develop a better understanding of what role the creature’s nervous system plays in selecting the arms it uses.

A.Octopuses’ ability to hide itself.

22、What would happen today, if there was an accident at your workplace? Would employees know what to do? Would the injured person get the best possible care?
When an accident happens, a first-aid programme that meets the requirements of the law and is made to the type and size of the workplace can really make a difference between life and death, or between recovery and lasting disablement (伤残).
Employers should make sure that all employees know where emergency information is posted at the workplace. The emergency notice should show the phone numbers of the closest ambulance service, rescue unit, fire police station, and hospital. The amount of time it takes to look up one of these important numbers can make a big difference to a seriously injured person. The place of first-aid equipment and rescue equipment should also be posted.
All workplaces should have a person with first-aid or medical training in case of an emergency. First-aid equipment and supplies, including a variety of dressings and instruments, as well as an up-to-date first-aid book, should be stored where they can be reached quickly and easily in case of an accident. These supplies should be inspected frequently, making sure they are kept in sanitary (卫生的) and usable conditions and re-stored after use. Larger workplaces may need more than one fully-equipped first-aid bag.
In lonely workplaces, emergency supplies and an action plan are especially important. At least one person trained in first aid should always be on-site (在现场的). If first aid is not given properly, it can sometimes hurt rather than help an injured person, or even be harmful to the person giving first aid.
All workers should know who is trained to give first aid on-site, where first-aid equipment is put, and what medical professionals or medical instruments should be found if a medical emergency happens.
【1】What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A.The importance of a proper first-aid programme at the workplace.
B.The possibility to make a first-aid programme.
C.The requirements of the law about a first-aid programme.
D.Difference between the type and size of the workplace.
【2】What should you do for a seriously injured person?
A.Report the present conditions to the employers.
B.Give first aid to him right away all by yourself.
C.Look up and call the emergency telephone numbers quickly.
D.Run to the rescue centre to get first-aid equipment.
【3】Why are first-aid equipment and supplies stored in workplaces?
A.To be reached quickly and used to rescue in time.
B.To meet the requirements of the government.
C.To deal with the inspection of higher departments.
D.To make a medical training for the employees.
【4】According to the text, what are all workers required to do?
A.Be responsible for the result of the injured person.
B.Know the exact place of first-aid equipment.
C.Be trained to give first aid to the injured in an accident.
D.Be far away from the accident place.
23、Hiking, that is, traveling on foot, can be a great way to spend time outdoors. 【1】 With enough preparation, hiking can be a safe sport in which anyone can take part.
Map out your way before setting out. Tell friends or relatives where and when you will be hiking, and when you expect to return. 【2】 If you have a GPS, pack it, as well.
【3】 Your body can only take in about I liter of liquid per hour, so drink 0.5 to 1 liter of some type of electrolyte(电解质)replacement drink every hour that you are hiking in the heat. Carry your water bottle in your hand and drink small amounts often. An adult should drink about 4 liters of electrolyte replacement drink for every 8 hours spent hiking in the heat.
In the case of lightning storms, stay away from tall trees and go quickly to the lowest-lying land you can find. On hot summer days, it's necessary to bring clothing and a raincoat. 【4】 In the fall and winter, pack warm clothing and matches in case you need to build a fire.
If you have worked out a hiking plan and told friends or family of your whereabouts(行踪), help will be on the way as soon as they realize that you are missing. The best course of action is to stay in one position so that search parties can find you. Try to find a grassland or clearing(空地)where you may be seen from the air. A GPS is a good helper. With GPS, your family or friends may easily know where you are. 【5】
A.Water is the most important thing.
B.Go hiking with friends is even greater
C.Buy a map of the area and familiarize yourself with the paths.
D.GPS will also be fixed in boats both of the sailing and rowing variety
E.Take plenty of water and sun cream, as temperatures may increase fast.
F.However, basic hiking rules are necessary to ensure you have a safe trip.
G.To bring a cell phone is also a good idea, but you may not have service in remote areas.
24、For centuries, people in the sunny Mediterranean (地中海) would get up after long, relaxing meals and take a walk, often to the town square to see neighbors and socialize. Walking is so much a part of the lifestyle that it is seen as the most important part of the super-healthy Mediterranean diet.
Studies have found why that it may be one of the reasons the Mediterranean diet can reduce the risk for some diseases like diabetes, high cholesterol, heart disease, stroke and some cancers — all the while strengthening bones, improving brain health, preventing dementia (痴呆) and helping with healthy weight loss.
Now you can add another reason to take a post-meal walk-it may lower your blood sugar. That trip doesn’t need to take up a huge amount of your time either: Walking as little as two to five minutes after a meal can do, according to a 2022 study in the journal Sports Medicine.
Standing after a meal can help, too, but not as much as putting one foot in front of the other, said study coauthor Aidan Buffey, a doctoral student in sport sciences department at the University of Limerick in Ireland.
“Standing on and off throughout the day and after meals reduced blood sugar on average by 9.51% compared to long hours of sitting. However, light-walking throughout the day saw a greater reduction of blood sugar by an average of 17.01% compared to long hours of sitting,” Buffey said.
“This suggests that breaking long hours of sitting with standing and light-walking throughout the day is good for blood sugar levels. Standing is good, but walking is better,” he added.
【1】What is the purpose of paragraph 1?
A.To introduce a lifestyle.
B.To warn the readers.
C.To lead in the topic.
D.To prove an opinion.
【2】What does “putting one foot in front of the other” in paragraph 4 mean?
A.Standing.
B.Sitting.
C.Walking.
D.Lying.
【3】How did Aidan Buffey draw his conclusion?
A.By doing surveys.
B.By comparing the data.
C.By doing experiment.
D.By referring to other studies.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A.Walking can help lower blood sugar
B.There are reasons to stick to walking
C.Mediterranean diet is super healthy
D.Long hours of sitting after meal is a bad habit
