22、Scientists recently conducted a study that involved giving pet parrots (鹦鹉) a tablet. They could use the tablets to make video calls to other parrots. It turned out that the birds showed signs of feeling less isolated (孤独的). They also began to engage in more social behaviors, including cleaning their feathers, as well as singing and playing.
Ilyena Hirskyj-Douglas, a co-author of the study, works at the University of Glasgow, Scotland. She said that video calls had helped many people feel less isolated. “There are 20 million parrots living in people’s homes in the U. S., and we wanted to explore whether those birds might benefit from video calling, too,” Hirskyj-Douglas saíd. “If we gave them the opportunity to call other parrots, would they choose to do so, and would the experience benefit the parrots?”
In order for the parrots to use their tablets, the birds first had to learn to ring a bell. They could then touch a photo of another bird on the screen to call that bird. The birds were also given a choice of which “friend” to call. In total the birds made 147 deliberate calls to each other during the study. Scientists took detailed notes on the birds’ behavior and later reviewed the video footage (片段).
Their analysis suggested that there were, indeed, benefits for the birds. In the wild, many parrots live in large groups. As pets, they tend to be kept alone or in a small group. Isolation and boredom can cause birds to develop psychological problems. These are problems related to the mind and behavior. These problems can look like rocking, pacing back and forth, or self-harming behaviors such as feather-plucking.
Rébecca Kleinberger, who works at Northeastern University in Massachusetts, also helped with the study. She said video calling could reproduce some of the social benefits of living in a larger group.
【1】Why did scientists conduct the research?
A．To see if parrots can use tablets.
B．To see if video calls benefit parrots.
C．To evaluate the mental health of parrots.
D．To study the living conditions of parrots.

A．Its process.
B．Its findings.
C．Its application.
D．Its influences.
【3】What does video calling mean to the parrots?
A．It helps with their reproduction.
B．It contributes to their misbehavior.
C．It improves their physical health.
D．It widens their social circle.
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A．Parrots living in the wild tend to be socially active.
B．Parrots living alone may develop mental problems.
C．Parrots taught to make video calls become less lonely.
D．Parrots learn to behave properly by calling each other.
23、Perry was a smart, good kid: shy, modest, and generally unlikely to cause trouble. He was getting straight A’ s in a challenging and competitive public school honors curriculum. But beneath his academic success, Perry faced a world of troubles, and while it took a while to get to know him, eventually his problems came pouring out.
The problems weren’t what I’d expected though. Perry wasn’t being abused by anyone, he didn’t do drugs, and his family wasn’t always arguing. Rather, at first glance, his problems would seem more like typical adolescent complaints. And they were, in a way.
But it was only as I got to understand him that L realized that Perry’s adolescent problems had grown to the point where they cast a large shadow over much of his day - to - day world. And he wasn’t alone in that aspect.
One big problem was that while Perry was a strong achiever, he was not at all a happy one. “I hate waking up in the morning, because there’s all this stuff I have to do,” he said. “I just keep making lists of things to do and checking them off each day so I can get into a good college.” Once he got started, Perry’s discontent spilled out. “There’s so much to do, and I have to... It’s just stupid !”
Perry was well loved by his parents. But in their efforts to nurture and support him, his parents increased his mental stress: Over time, they had taken on all his household chores, in order to leave hum more time for schoolwork and activities. Perry never really did anything for anyone except use up their time and money, and he knew it. And if he thought about backing off on his schoolwork..., well, look how much his parents were pouring into making it go well. Trapped between anger and guilt, Perry had begun to wither (消沉).
【1】What can we infer about Perry from the text ?
A．His parents understood him completely.
B．He was a perfect young man in every aspect.
C．He often helped his parents with the housework.
D．He was stressed despite his good performance in school.
【2】Why was Perry unhappy ?
A．Because he had to make lists of things to do every day.
B．Because his parents showered him with too much love.
C．Because he had difficulty achieving remarkable academic success.
D．Because he was stuck between his parents’ expectations and his own will
【3】What did Perry think of himself ?
A．He did nothing for his parents.
B．His parents didn’t support him at all.
C．His problem was unusual among his peers.
D．He was gifted enough to enter any university
【4】What is the main purpose of this text ?
A．To try to discover the reason for Perry’s stress.
B．To show a good example of an excellent student.
C．To reflect the problems of all students during school.
D．Toduce Perry’s life and his family background
24、Most people don't think much about the food scraps they throw away; however, researchers in Tokyo have developed a new method to reduce food waste by recycling discarded fruit and vegetable scraps into robust construction materials.
Worldwide industrial and household food waste amounts to hundreds of billions of pounds per year, a large proportion of which comprises edible(可食用的) scraps, like fruit and vegetable peels. This unsustainable practice is both costly and environmentally unfriendly, so researchers have been searching for new ways to recycle these organic materials into useful products.
“Our goal was to use seaweed and common food scraps to construct i materials that were at least as strong as concrete,” explains Yuya Sakai, the senior author of the study. “But since we were using edible food waste, we were also interested in determining whether the recycling process impacted the flavor of the original materials.”
The researchers borrowed a “heat pressing” concept that is typically used to make construction materials from wood powder, except they used vacuum-dried, pulverized food scraps, such as seaweed, cabbage leaves, and orange, onion, pumpkin, and banana peels as the construction powders. The processing technique involved mixing the food powder with water and seasonings, and then pressing the mixture into a mold at high temperature. The researchers tested the bending strength of the resulting materials and monitored their taste, smell and appearance.
“With the exception of the specimen obtained from pumpkin, all of the materials exceeded our bending strength target,” says Kota Machida, a senior collaborator. “We also found that Chinese cabbage leaves, which produced a i material over three times stronger than concrete, could be mixed with the weaker pumpkin-based material to provide effective rein for cement.”
The new, robust materials kept their edible nature, and the addition of salt or sugar improved their taste without reducing their strength. Furthermore, the durable products resisted rot, fungi, and insects, and experienced no appreciable changes in appearance or taste after exposure to air for four months.
Given that food waste is a global financial burden and environmental concern, it is crucial to develop methods for recycling food scraps. Using these substance to prepare materials that are stronger enough for construction projects, but also maintain their edible nature and taste, opens the door to a wide range of creative applications.
【1】Why do the researchers search for new ways to recycle organic materials?
A．Because the construction of robust material needs much food waste.
B．Because food waste is both costly and environmentally unfriendly.
C．Because they want to make a fortune by recycling the food waste.
D．Because the amount of food waste is too large to store at the moment.
【2】What does the underlined word “comprises” mean in the second paragraph?
A．Contains.
B．Processes.
C．Presses.
D．originate.
【3】Which of the following is right according to the text?
A．All the materials obtained from food waste surpass researchers ' strength target.
B．The material produced from Chinese cabbage leaves is two times stronger than concrete.
C．There is a lot of room for creative use of this technology.
D．The new materials are strong enough for construction projects, but fail to maintain their original taste.
【4】Where is the text probably from?
A．A tourist brochure.
B．A recipe book.
C．A biography book.
D．A science magazine.

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。
Eduardo reached into his backpack, searching for his cell phone. He was scared of having to spend the spring break at Aunt Letty’s farm. Although he had protested, his parents decided that spending time on the farm would be a great experience for him. They grew up on a farm and believed that responsibility, hard work and respect for the land were valuable lessons.
“So, have you ever ridden a horse?” Aunt Letty asked, trying to turn his attention away from his phone. “Hmmm, no.” he answered. “Well, we’ve got a nice calm horse I think you will like. Hercules----sounds like a beast, but he’s basically a gentle giant-big but kindhearted!” she said, smiling. Eduardo glanced at his aunt, annoyed that he was expected to work. He tried to text a friend, but there was no cell reception.
The next two days were busy. The crow of the roosters woke them up, and they had breakfast before dawn. Then they went out to the barn to get the feed while animals waited to be fed. The afternoons were filled with transporting hay, cleanup, and caring for the animals. At dusk, when the farm was finally quiet, Aunt Letty stretched her arms out and breathed. “Just take a deep breath of that sweet country air!” Eduardo, exhausted from the chores, was unable to appreciate his work.
On the fourth day, without warning, Aunt Letty announced, “It’s time to meet Hercules.” She led him into the stable (马厩). Aunt Letty was right. Hercules was remarkable.
Aunt Letty held her hand open for Eduardo to take. Unwillingly, he let her guide his hand toward Hercules and allowed the magnificent creature to sniff his palm. Softly, Hercules rubbed his nose and mouth against him.
“It feels like velvet (天鹅绒)!” Eduardo beamed. An hour later, he couldn’t help scratching Hercules on his neck and offering him carrots. Magically, a bond between them formed. That night, as they headed toward the house, Eduardo was inspired. His arms spreading wide, he inhaled and said, “Take a breath of that sweet country air!”
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
One morning, Eduardo found Aunt Letty riding the horse Hercules.
