21、   Is it possible to learn about the history of the world in just one day? Maybe — if you visit an exhibition called “A History of the World in 100 Objects.”

The objects are from the famous British Museum. “A History of the World in 100 Objects” is one of the museum’s greatest exhibitions. Now it comes to China for the very first time. The exhibition opened in the National Museum of China in Beijing on March 2 and will last until May 31.

The British Museum spent four years carefully choosing the 100 objects from its huge collection of eight million things. They had to stand for different times and cultures.

“The objects have to cover the whole world. They range (包括) from a cooking pot to a golden galleon (西班牙大型帆船), from a Stone Age tool to a credit card (信用卡),” Neil MacGregor, former director of the British Museum, wrote in a book. He was in charge of choosing the objects.

For example, there is a seal (印章) that people in the Indus Valley (印度河流域) used in around 2500 B.C.（公元前）. There is also a tablet (匾额) that people used in around 700 B.C. in the Middle East. But modern objects like a solar-powered lamp are also on display. They show the results of scientific development.

Of course, there is no lack (缺少) of objects from China. You will see a bronze (青铜) bell from the time of Confucius (孔子). There is also a banknote from the Ming dynasty, showing that China was the first country to use paper money.

【1】“A History of the World in 100 Objects” is ________.

A.a history movie B.a book by Neil MacGregor

C.an exhibition D.a museum

【2】“A History of the World in 100 Objects” will last for almost ________ in Beijing.

B.a tablet and a bronze bell

C.a seal and a solar-powered lamp

D.a credit card and a solar-powered lamp

【4】“A History of the World in 100 Objects” wants to let people see _____ by putting modern objects on display.

A.the results of scientific development

C.They are the most attractive（吸引人的）objects in the British Museum.

22、   The locusts(蝗虫) in East Africa continue plaguing(造成麻烦) Asian countries such as Pakistan after they “visited” Qatar,Kuwait，and Bahrain.

On Thursday,it's reported that China will send an army of 100,000 ducks to Pakistan to help eat out the locusts there. By Thursday noon,the 100,000 ducks ready to eat locusts in Pakistan has been one of the hottest topics of Sina Weibo.

There has been much discussion on domestic social media(国内社交媒体) networks about the problem.Besides ducks,many also suggest sending hens,while some make it further by suggesting catching the locusts,to cook and eat them.

The hen and duck strategy was used in 2000 when Xinjiang suffered its worst locust plague. An army of about 700,000 hens,roosters and ducks were transported from Zhejiang Province to Xinjiang and helped defeat the locusts quickly.

However,neither the duck nor hen strategy can always be useful. Hens and ducks are good at picking locusts and eating them,but this time the locusts from Africa are mostly grown-up ones that can fly up to 2,000 meters in the sky. It is unrealistic to expect hens or ducks to eat all the locusts alone.

The best way of controlling a locust plague lies in the preventive(预防的) stage. One opinion among scientists is that the locust plague this year has much to do with the EI Nino effect of 2019,which caused heavier rainfall in East Africa,which in turn resulted in more locust eggs hatching.

The same effect caused droughts(干旱) in Australia and South America,which is an important reason why the wildfires in Australia have been so bad.It might be old talk,but it really is time to control climate change.

【1】Which animal isn't mentioned in the passage?

A.Hen. B.Rooster. C.Duck. D.Turkey.

【2】What have been one of the hottest topics of Sina Weibo?

A.The locusts have “visited” Qatar,Kuwait,and Bahrain.

B.The 100，000 ducks are ready to eat locusts in Pakistan.

C.The locusts in East Africa continue plaguing Asian countries.

D.Africa would send a lot of army men to Pakistan on Thursday.

【3】What other advice do people have to control a locust plague according to the passage?

A.Sending roosters to Pakistan.

B.Making less discussion about the problem.

C.Catching the locusts，to cook and eat them.

D.Using domestic social media to solve the problem.

【4】What does the underlined word “It” refer to according to the passage?

A.The hen and duck strategy.

B.Picking locusts by humans.

C.Flying up to 2,000 meters to catch locusts.

D.Controlling a locust plague.

【5】What plague did the climate change cause in 2019?

A.Rainfall in East Asia.

B.Droughts in North America.

C.The wildfires in New Zealand.

D.More locusts in East Africa.
