21、New Zealand is an island country in the southwestern of Pacific Ocean. The country geographically comprises two main lands—the North Island, or Te Ika-a-Maui, and the South Island, or Te Waipounamu, and numerous smaller islands. New Zealand is situated some 1,500 kilometers east of Australia across the Tasman Sea and roughly 1,000 kilometers south of the Pacific island areas of New Caledonia, Fiji, and Tonga. Because of its remoteness, it was one of the last lands to be settled by humans. The country’s varied topography(地形)and its sharp mountain peaks, such as the Southern Alps, owe much to volcanic eruptions. New Zealand’s capital city is Wellington, while the city that has the largest population is Auckland.
Polynesians settled in the islands that were to become New Zealand somewhere between 1250 and 1300 AD, and developed a unique Maori culture. In 1642, Abel Tasman, a Dutch explorer became the first European to sight New Zealand In 1840, representatives of the British Crown(王室) and Maori Chiefs signed the Treaty of Waitangi, making New Zealand a British colony. Today, the majority of New Zealand’s population of 4.5 million is of European descent(血统), and the indigenous(土著的) Maori are the largest minority, followed by Asians and Pacific Islanders. Reflecting this, New Zealand’s culture is mainly originated from Maori and early British settlers, with recent broadening arising from increased immigration. The official languages are English, Maori and New Zealand Sign Language, with English predominant(主要的).
New Zealand is a developed country with a market economy that mainly consists of the exports of dairy products, meat and wine, along with tourism. New Zealand is a high-income economy and ranks highly in international comparisons of national performance, such as health, education, economic freedom and quality of life.

22、The highest mountain in the world is Mount Everest. It is 8,848.86 meters above sea level. Many men have tried to climb this mountain but without success. High winds, cold and little oxygen have made this almost an impossible (不可能的) thing. It was not until 1953 that two men stood on the top. One of the men was Edmund Hillary from New Zealand. The other was Tenzing Norgay from Nepal. They were members of a British Expedition (探险队). There were nearly twenty people in the whole team. They spent about sixty days finishing the whole climbing. The last day, May 29th, was fine;Hillary and Tenzing started climbing as the sun rose. At half past eleven they were on top of Mount Everest. They were very glad.

23、Mr. Brown was going away for a week.

"OK, Dad," said his son. But he was afraid his son couldn't remember this, he wrote these words down on a piece of paper and gave it to him. His son put it into his small pocket, took it out and looked at it every now and then.

24、 Attention to the fight against climate change tends to be focused on trees, but 75% of the planet's surface is covered by the ocean, and a natural process taking place underwater has excited scores of investors at the recent World Economic Forum (论坛) who may want to help.
During the recent wildfires in the Amazon rainforest, journalists often described trees as the “lungs of the world”, but that title most certainly belongs to phytoplankton, which alone refreshes nearly 50% of the atmospheric oxygen on planet earth, the value of four Amazons.
And, in the effort to stop the warming of the planet, our greatest assistants could belong to whales, because of the great amount of their excrement left in the sea.
A new paper published by economist Dr. Ralph Chianti underlines the influence that whales, especially blue whales, and their excrement have on climate change. It is all due to whales’ excrement in the diets of phytoplankton.
The tiny marine algae (海洋藻类) floats at the center of several marine food webs, and they provide food for many sea creatures including whales, while also requiring whales’ excrement to feed on. They also require CO2 to survive, just like trees.
Whales, after deep-sea dives for krill (磷虾), return to the surface and release excrement, which is rich in nitrogen (氮) and iron, into the top ocean layer, which provides a key food source for phytoplankton.
In his paper, Dr. Chiami suggests that since phytoplankton populations can expand wherever whales are, a significant effort should be made to fight against climate change by encouraging the growth and protection of whale populations. “At a minimum, even a 1% increase in phytoplankton productivity thanks to whale activity would take in hundreds of millions of tons of additional CO2 a year, which is equal to the sudden appearance of 2 billion mature trees,”says Chiami.
【1】What makes the investors excited?
A.Trees’ function as “lungs of the world”.
B.Phytoplankton’s ability to create oxygen.
C.The success of the World Economic Forum.
D.People's continuous fight against climate change.
【2】Why are whales called our assistants in fighting global warming'?
A.They refresh much oxygen.
B.They never send out CO2.
C.They kill much phytoplankton.
D.They supply food to phytoplankton.
【3】Which can best describe the relationship between phytoplankton and whales?
A.Complex.
B.Competitive.
C.Dependent.
D.Distant.
【4】What does Chiami advise us to do?
A.Rebuild food webs.
B.Try to protect whales.
C.Grow more phytoplankton.
D.Limit population explosion.
