21、 Unicycles are one-wheeled vehicles that developed from the original bicycle, the Penny Farthing, which consisted of a large front wheel and a much smaller back wheel. When this bike hit bumps(凸块) or suddenly slowed down, the back wheel came off the ground, so many riders learned to balance on just the front wheel. Thus, bicycle-makers began making vehicles with just one wheel.
Some of the benefits of riding a unicycle include burning calories, and increasing your levels of coordination (协调), concentration and balance. Because unicycles don’t have any handlebars, riders must balance, using only their abdominal (腹部的)muscles and leg muscles. This helps you build a healthier core. Long cycling sessions also increase your heart rate, which can lead to a healthier cardiovascular (心血管的) system. Riding a unicycle is an effective way to get in a low-impact workout for those with damaged knees and legs.
Unicycling is a fun activity regardless of your ability level. Riding a unicycle is self-motivating and psychologically stimulating because you will notice improvements each time you ride. Some people find that it gives them feelings of control when they can achieve balancing and riding on just one wheel.
Some riders use their unicycles as their primary mode of transportation for work or school. Because unicycles don't require any type of fuel, you can save money at pump. Unicycles also have only a few moving parts that might break. This means that you typically don't have to spend much money on repairs. You also won' t need to spend money on storing or transporting your unicycle.
Unicycling is a somewhat uncommon activity. Because of this, a sense of unity tends to grow among unicycle riders. Many riders travel significant distances just to go on rides and spend time with other unicyclists. Unicycling is often a family activity, and riding together can bring family members closer.
【1】Why were one-wheel vehicles created?
A．Because it was more beneficial for one's health.
B．Because it was more likely to avoid road bumps.
C．Because the front wheel only could also be used for balancing.
D．Because a bicycle’s back wheel wasn’t fixed well.
【2】What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．Having a handlebar.
B．Stopping a unicycle.

22、 Cats don't avoid people who upset their owners, proving they're just as disloyal as we always suspected, a new study confirms. The study will be a blow to enthusiastic cat lovers across the country, as their kitty friends appear to have lived up to their reputation of being aloof and uncaring. But dog owners can cheer that man's best friend still has their back.
Having previously showed that dogs avoided a person who behaved negatively towards their owner, researchers tried the same experiment with cats to see how they reacted. For the study, cats watched as their owner tried unsuccessfully to open a transparent container to take out an object, and then requested help from a person sitting nearby. Some people helped the pet owner and others didn't, before they all offered food to the animals.
In the dog experiment, most dogs preferred not to take food from people who didn't help their owners. But cats weren't phased and showed no preference between helpers and passive bystanders, eating food from whoever offered it.
The study's 'lead author Hitomi Chijiiwa wrote: “One possible reason for domestic cats showing no sign of a negativity bias(偏见) might be that cooperation is not typical of this species. Whereas dogs are known to cooperate with humans and conspecifics(同类) in various real and experimental contexts， the same is not true of cats. Domestic cats originated from a less sociable ancestor than did dogs, and they have not been subjected to artificial selection for cooperation with humans. However,group hunting did not evolve in small cats, because the size of their typical prey items remained unchanged even as cat communities grew bigger."
“Thus,cats can be considered as at least potentially 'social' and 'flexible' in terms of social structure, but not 'cooperative'. The ability to evaluate others based on indirect experiences might be restricted to more cooperative species.”
【1】What does the underlined word “aloof” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A．Distant
B．Aggressive
C．Sensitive
D．Greedy.
【2】How do cats differ from dogs in the experiment?
A．They tend to show no preference for food.
B．They are likely to wait for food without doing anything.
C．They refuse to eat food from those offending their owners.
D．They don't care about food givers' attitude to their owners.
【3】What can we learn about cats from the last two paragraphs?
A．They originated from a less flexible ancestor.
B．They lack the ability to directly evaluate others.
C．They haven't been trained since their domestication.
D．They haven't evolved through cooperation with humans.
【4】How does the author illustrate his idea in the whole passage?
A．By referring to previous findings.
B．By giving examples.
C．By analyzing cause and effect
D．By explaining a concept.
23、 The jaguars(美洲豹) didn't bother me much during the day. Adonis, our local guide who was leading us deep into the Guatemalan jungle, guaranteed that we wouldn't come under attack from the jaguars. The most recent time he had seen one was more than a year ago. Last week, he had spotted some jaguar tracks, which was probably about as close to the animals as we would get, he said.
But his guarantee meant little that night as I cowered in my hammock(吊床) under the Central American stars. Now my mind turned every soft sound of waving leaves into a moving big cat full of murderous intent(probably to get back at the rude human who had interrupted its life.)And, if it wasn't a jaguar ready to attack, it was a poisonous snake, picking which of my bottoms to sink its long sharp tooth into.
Tiredness calmed my overactive imagination and I slept slightly. Next day, big surprise: no death by either snake bite or jaguar attack and injury. We packed up our stuff and continued toward our destination Mirador, the site of the tallest temple in the Mayan world.
Although we may have questioned why we had left a perfectly nice beach to come here, that night no doubts remained. Just before sunset we took our places at the top of the temple hill. A Mayan astrologer(占星家)had probably sat in the same place 2,000 years before and improved his knowledge of the Milky Way.
Tonight, as with every night, spectacular pink shades marked the western skyline. The sky darkened and, one by one, the stars shone with a soft light into life.
【1】What did the guide think of the jaguars?
A.They were difficult to find. B.They were aggressive killers.
C.They were tough to deal with. D.They had close relations with man.
【2】What does the underlined word “cowered” in Paragraph 2 most nearly mean?
A.Shrank. B.Skipped.
C.Relaxed. D.Danced.
【3】What message is the author trying to convey in the last paragraph?
A.We should show respect to nature.
B.Traveling in the jungle can be dangerous.
C.The ecology problem requires urgent attention.
D.The universe is lasting while human life is short.
24、Involving little rote learning, a new teaching approach is becoming popular where teachers encourage debate and discussion in the classroom. How will students cope with this inspiring style of teaching? One way is through critical thinking, which is a necessary skill.
The easiest way to learn to think critically is to force yourself to question everything, according to Michael Tabachnick, a physics professor at Delaware Valley College. “That does not mean you can’t believe, but you must question. Is it true? Is it opinion? Is it justified by the fact?. . . Students eventually learn to analyze,” Tabachnick said.
Young learners constantly ask questions because they are curious about the world that remains unknown to them. But this natural curiosity disappears with time.
However, questioning your teachers should be encouraged. After all, they are the ones who have been educated, and have a lot more experience and knowledge than students.
When I taught in a college in Scotland, I enjoyed answering students’ questions. Some of my students posted difficult queries (问题). I didn’t always know the answers. If I didn’t, I’d admit it and try to find out later.
I still remember when I was at university, my peers and I were encouraged to challenge each other and our professors. A student would write a paper on a subject, and fellow students would criticize it. It could be very challenging. But it was a way of developing critical thinking and logical thinking. Having a logical mind can help develop critical thinking. Some people don’t have a logical mind, but they do have emotional intelligence, which is also important for critical thinking. People with high emotional intelligence can understand other people’s feelings, communicate properly with them, and read their personalities. If you can’t at least try to put yourself in someone else’s shoes, how can you understand their situations, their problems and their issues?
So, try to develop your power of critical thinking. Start with books, films, music and newspapers. And don’t believe everything you read or see. Think for yourself.
【1】Which of the following is an example of an inspiring style of teaching?
A．Students are organized to have some discussion.
B．Students are asked to recite some historical facts.
C．Students are required to copy some historical facts.
D．Students are quizzed on some famous people in history.
【2】How can you develop critical thinking as Michael Tabachnick says?
A．Have a debate on a subject.
B．Do not believe anything.
C．Discuss a topic with classmates.
D．Ask a question and analyze.
【3】What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A．The fault in the answer I gave.
B．The fact that I didn’t know the answers.
C．The good questions that students asked.
D．The answers that I needed to find out later.
【4】How can emotional intelligence help critical thinking?
A．People with high emotional intelligence are open-minded.
B．People with high emotional intelligence are good at criticizing.
C．High emotional intelligence helps people understand others better.
D．High emotional intelligence helps people think in a more logical way.
