21、Islands are different from a continent or mainland. The size and isolation of islands have a profound effect on island ecosystems and their inhabitants.
Scientists who specialize in species evolution have found that, among mammal species that settle on islands, big species tend to shrink while small ones are apt to enlarge. This phenomenon, discovered by J. Bristol Foster in 1964, has been called Foster’s rule, or the island effect. For instance, rodents (啮齿动物) living on islands tend toward gigantism, while big mammals are more likely to become dwarfed (矮小的). Although there are a number of exceptions to this pattern, the trend generally holds true for both fossil species and living island mammals.
Foster’s rule shows that body size regulates everything. In a mainland environment, being large is often a safer and adaptive form of avoiding predators. On an island, with few natural predators and less competition, being really big is no longer an advantage; in fact, it can be a hindrance since a huge animal will need a lot more food in order to survive and reproduce.
A new fossil study of island-dwelling proboscideans (长鼻目动物) further shows that the physical attributes and ecological structure of an island may affect the degree of shrinking in big mammals. On relatively balanced and species-rich islands, competition with other species often result in a relatively less dwarfed body size. In contrast, on smaller islands where food sources are limited and competitors lacking, members of this group become smaller surprisingly quickly. On one of the Channel Islands 15 miles off the coast of France, the red deer dwarfed to one-sixth the size of deer on continental Europe in a mere 6,000 years after the island became isolated.
【1】What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A．The reasons why mammals change and evolve through time.
B．A comparison of gigantism and dwarfism on different islands.
C．The different patterns of evolution for big and small island mammals.
D．The similarity between the evolution of fossil species and that of living species.
【2】According to the passage, what is a problem big mammals might face on an island?
A．There may be lack of food.
B．It is harder to find shelter for survival there.
C．It may be difficult to move around on small islands.
D．They become less competitive due to fewer reproduction.
【3】How does the author conclude the last paragraph?
A．With a prediction.
B．With a summary.
C．With a suggestion.
D．With an illustration.
22、Mr. Selfridge, the Wisconsin-born retailer (零售商) who left school at 14, rose to become a partner in Marshall Field's. Chicago. Founded in 1852, it was one of the first and most ambitious US department scores. Mr. Selfridge had done well with Marshall Field's. He liked to say, “The customer is always right,” which made the Chicago store popular. And he is believed to have invented the phrase “Only [so many] Shopping Days until Christmas”.
When he visited London on holiday in 1906 he was surprised to find most of the city's department stores were no match of their American and Parisian competitors. This led Selfridge to leave the US and establish Selfridges. a department store named after him. at the west end of London's Oxford Street. In Oxford Street, Selfridge's design team shaped an ambitious classical palacc building with a wall of plate glass windows.
Opened in 1909, Selfridges offered customers a hundred departments along with restaurants, a roof garden, reading and writing rooms, reception areas for foreign visitors, a first aid room and. most importantly, a small army of knowledgeable floor-walking assistants who served as guides as well as being thoroughly instructed in the art of making a sale.
Mr. Selfridge did much to make the department store a destination rather than just a big and comprehensively stocked city shop. It became a place to meet and for ladies to lunch. Mr. Selfridge later introduced the department store as a key element of the 20th Century culture, and Chaplin acknowledged the growing trend for shopping in the department store in his film The Floorwalker.

23、Lawrence Huff hummed (发出连续低沉的声音) as he led his class of yoga students on a recent Friday afternoon.
Dressed in orange, the practitioners sat with their legs crossed.
In the back of the classroom, an officer sat with his arms folded, watching every move.
Every Friday, Huff volunteers to teach yoga to prisoners at the Metro West prison in Florida, US. The 71-year-old has been doing this for the past five years, and simply wants to share his love for yoga. “I come here as a volunteer and they are my students,” Huff said. “I really don’t get nervous. I know where I am, but I don’t view them individually as criminals, but just as people participating in a class.”
With the prison housing about 1,800 prisoners at any given time, there’s a waiting list to get into the class.
“I know this is a jail … but one day or another, these people are going to get released, so we want to make sure that they are productive members of society,” said Juan Diasgranados, public affairs manager for the prison.
Huff teaches yoga at two other jails and several libraries in Florida. When he’s not teaching yoga, he works as a substitute teacher at local schools. He said he got the idea for the yoga classes because he knew someone who had gone to prison, so he contacted local prisons and began offering his yoga services.
But what keeps him coming back each week? “Because the people are so appreciative. They are very enthusiastic about every aspect about it,” he said, “Because they spend most of their time in a dorm and are undergoing all kinds of stress, the classes are a peaceful space for them.”
Some prisoners have said the weekly yoga classes have given them something to look forward to, as they offer a break in their routines.
“It makes me feel focused; it recharges me,” one 42-year-old prisoner from Miami said.
“I always was familiar with yoga but didn’t actually understand it fully.
“Now that I am in here, there are all these books and literature around. I started studying it and now understand it. I have taken it to another level.”
【1】How might Huff describe teaching yoga in prisons?
A. Worthwhile. B. Disappointing. C. Profitable. D. Terrifying.
【2】How is Huff’s Yoga class with the prisoners?
A. It helps the prisoners to get to know each other better.
B. It is only given to those who will be released soon.
C. It is very popular with the prisoners.
D. It has made many prisoners more productive.
【3】What’s the most valuable part of doing yoga in some prisoners’ eyes?
A. It improves their physical health. B. It gives them a break from stress.
C. It helps them feel like a normal person. D. It helps them fit better into society.
【4】What is the best title of the passage?
A. Yoga Is For Everyone B. How to Practice Yoga
C. The Benefit of Yoga D. A Chance to Volunteer
24、 In a major medical breakthrough, Tel Aviv University researchers have “printed” the world's first 3D vascularized (有血管的）engineered heart using a patient’s own cells and biological materials. Their findings were published on April IS in a study in Advanced Science.
“This is the first time anyone anywhere has successfully engineered and printed an entire heart,” says Prof. Tal Dvir of Department of Materials Science and Engineering, who led the research for the study. “This heart is made from human cells and patient-specific biological materials. In our process, these materials serve as the bioinks, something made of sugars and proteins that can be used for 3D printing of complex tissue models，” Prof, Dvir says. “People managed to 3D print the structure of a heart in the past, but not with cells or with blood vessels (血管).Our results demonstrate the potential of our approach for engineering personalized tissue and organ replacement in the future.”
According to Prof. Dvir，the use of “ native ” patient-specific materials is important to successfully engineering tissues and organs.
The researchers are now planning on culturing the printed hearts in the lab and “ teaching them to behave” like hearts, Prof. Dvir says. They then plan to transplant the 3D-printed heart in animal models.
“We need to develop the printed heart further，” he concludes. “The cells need to form a pumping ability ； they can currently contract (收缩），but we need them to work together. Our hope is that we will succeed and prove our method’s efficacy (功效)and usefulness. “Maybe, in ten years, there will be organ printers in the finest hospitals around the world，and these procedures will be conducted routinely. ”
【1】What does Prof. Dvir think of an early 3D-printed heart?
A.It was highly practical. B.It was too expensive.
C.It was personalized. D.It was too simple.
【2】What do we know about the latest 3D-printed heart?
A.It can be cultured in the lab.
B.It can match a patient perfectly.
C.It has been transplanted in animals.
D.It has been widely used in hospitals,
【3】What is Prof, Dvir's attitude to the development of the printed heart?
A.Ambiguous. B.Positive.
C.Disapproving. D.Cautious.
【4】What is the author's purpose in writing the text?
A.To explain the basic principle of 3D technology.
B.To introduce a breakthrough of medical research.
C.To doubt the medical value of a new invention.
D.To prove the effectiveness of the new technology.

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。
In late December, the cow path near our house in Tennessee was still covered with leaves, but I knew snow would be falling soon enough. My younger brother, Buddy Earl, and I were on an important mission: Go to Uncle Tommie’s place and get a goose(鹅). The hiking over Little Mountain and getting there would be worth it. Uncle Tommie raised the best geese around, and he’d offered to give us one for Christmas dinner.
Uncle Tommie met us at the door. “I’m not rushing you boys,” he said, “but as light snow started, you’d better get the goose and head home.” It didn’t take me long to pick up a goose from his yard. Buddy and I said a quick thank you and goodbye. The snow came down harder, wind blowing every way.
“I’m as cold as ice. How about you?” asked Buddy.
I tapped the goose’s head. “I wish we had feathers to keep us warm like you,” I said. “Or heavier coats.”
“Doug, I’m freezing,” Buddy said. I could hardly hear him over the wind and my own chattering teeth. “I think we should go back.” The idea was attractive, but we were closer to home than to Uncle Tommie’s house. We had to push on.
I held the goose closer to my chest. The bird was the only warm thing about me. I stepped in front of my brother. “Buddy, open your coat!” “Are you crazy?” He asked. “I’ll lose the little warmth I have.” When he saw I was serious, he slowly unzipped (拉开……的拉链) his coat and opened it. I placed the warm goose inside his coat and zipped it back up. “Make sure you keep the goose’s head out so it can breathe.” Buddy sighed happily. My plan was working.
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。
“Doug, it is time for you to open your coat. ”
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Hearing our surviving experience, my parents hesitated about what to do with the goose.
