21、The giant African land snail (an animal) has returned to Florida for a third time. The foreign species (物种) was first found in the state in 1969. It took seven years and $1 million to get rid of (清除) them . They reappeared in 2011 and were wiped out in 2021 at a cost of $23 million. On June 23, 2022, Florida officials reported that the snails had been found in the New Port Richey area of Pasco County.
To stop the snails from spreading to other areas, officials have asked Pasco County people to avoid moving any soil or yard waste and to report any sightings to a special hotline. Specially- trained dogs have also been brought in to find the snails. The areas where the snails have been found will be treated with special chemicals for 18 months. Florida officials also intend to monitor (监测) the sites for two years after the last snail has been found .
The various measures to get rid of the snails may seem too strict for most people. However, the giant African land snails are one of the most dangerous snails in the world. Without these measures, the result will be serious. The fist-sized snails are native to East Africa but can also be found in Hawaii and the Caribbean. They eat over 500 plant and tree species. While they prefer to eat fruits and vegetables, the animals are not picky. They will eat any plant! The animals also bring a serious health risk to humans by carrying the parasite rat lungworm, known to cause brain damage. The snails produce about 1, 200 eggs in a single year. This makes it stiff to control their population.
The officials are not sure how the snails got here this time, but they are confident the state will eventually get rid of them, because agriculture is such an important part of the economy in the state.
【1】What are locals of Pasco County required to do with the snails?
A．Kill the snails they find.
B．Keep dogs off the snails.
C．Report if finding the snails.
D．Put the snails into earth.
【2】How may the author like the measures to get rid of the snails?
A．Simple.
B．Cost-saving.
C．Necessary
D．Out-of-date
【3】What does the underlined word “stiff” in paragraph 3 mean?
A．Possible.
B．Hard.
C．Interesting.
D．Dangerous
【4】What can be learned about the giant African land snail in Florida?
A．It can’t be easily dealt with.
B．It is one of the native species.
C．It came with some tourists.
D．It will spread all over the US.
22、The most frightening words in the English language are, “Our computer is down.” You hear it more and more when you are on business. The other day I was at the airport waiting for a ticket to Washington and the girl in the ticket office said, “I’m sorry, I can’t sell you a ticket. Our computer is down.”
“If your computer is down, just write me out a ticket.”
“I can’t write you out a ticket. The computer is the only one allowed to do so.”
I noticed every passenger was just standing there drinking coffee and staring at the black screen. Then I looked down on the computer and asked her, “What do all you people do?”
“We give the computer the information about your trip, and then it tells us whether you can fly with us or not.”
“So when it goes down, you go down with it.”
“That’s good, sir.”
“How long will the computer be down? I wanted to know.”
“I have no idea. Sometimes it’s down for 10 minutes, sometimes for two hours. There’s no way we can find out without asking the computer, and since it’s down it won’t answer us.”
After the girl told me they had no backup computer, I said. “Let’s forget the computer—What about your planes? They are still flying, aren’t they?”
“I couldn’t tell without asking the computer.”
“Maybe I could, just go to the gate and ask the pilot if he is flying to Washington,” I suggested.
“I wouldn’t know what gate to send you to. Even if the pilot was going to Washington, he couldn’t take you if you didn’t have a ticket.”
“Is there any other airline flying to Washington within the next few hours?”
“I wouldn’t know,” she said, pointing at the dark screen. “Only ‘IT’ knows. It can’t tell me.”
By this time there were quite a few people standing in lines. The words soon spread to other travelers that the computer was down. Some people went white, some people started to cry and still others kicked their luggage.
【1】Where do you often hear the frightening words “Our computer is down”?
A．at the airport. B．At the gate.
C．On business D．In the ticket office
【2】What could the girl in the ticket office do without asking the computer?
A．She could do nothing.
B．She could write out a ticket.
C．She could still sell a ticket.
D．She could answer passengers’ questions.
【3】What does the underlined word “down” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A．White B．Broken
C．Black D．Dark
【4】We can learn from the last paragraph that .
A．a modern computer won’t be down
B．computers can take the place of human
C．there will be great changes in computers

Dear Dr Lisa，
My name is Ann. I am 13 and worried about my weight.I want to be a model,but I store lots of fat in my face,legs and stomach. I look at myself in the mirror,and then go into my room and Cry. I'm scared to talk about it. My parents' comforting words just don't ring true to me. My friends are shocked when they find out how much I weigh. I don't know what to do. I've diagnosed(诊断)myself with BDD(body dysmorphic disorder 躯体变形障碍症),too.
Yours，
Ann

Dear Ann，
I am worried about your problem.So much worry at 13. That was me, too, hating my body. So I understand a little of how you feel. I was 21 when I got help and I wish I’d got earlier. I wish someone had told me that as you enter the teenage years,your body changes and so does your brain, and that the things troubling you now just won't be problems as you get older.
The way you feel about yourself appears to be about your physical appearance,but it's this self-hatred(自我憎恨) that needs to be worked out. Then you will see your confidence grow.
Since you're in your teenage years,you are very probably not "done growing”,so you needn't diet at this age. Eat healthily and exercise within reason. Being thin or pretty doesn't make you feel better inside.Besides,remember that proper diagnosis of BDD can only come from an expert. Don’t worry about that.
Hope I've helped.
Yours，
Lisa
