21、A new study from Lund University in Sweden shows that the presence or absence of moonlight has a considerable effect on when migratory (迁徙的) birds take flight in the autumn.
Together with his colleagues, Gabriel Norevik studied European nightjars (夜莺) and how the lunar cycle and moonlight affect the leaving time when the birds start their three-month-long migration flight to areas south of the Sahara.
Using miniature (微型) data loggers the researchers recorded the activity of 39 European nightjars over a one-year period. The result shows that the birds begin their autumn migration south about ten days after the full moon, and that the individual birds synchronise (同速进行) the migration and fly off more or less at the same time. “It surprised us that the lunar cycle and the time the birds spent in hunting insects covary so well. This in turn affects their migration pattern in such a way that they synchronise their flight so that almost all of them fly off at the same time ten days after the full moon,” says Gabriel Norevik. European nightjars use their sight when they hunt at night. In the moonlight they find it easier to catch flying insects and refill their energy reserves.
The birds migrate in three stages from northern European to wintering sites south of the Sahara. Each stage follows the same pattern: first the moon provides double of the light for the birds to hunt insects, and the next stage of the migration starts ten days after the full moon.
The researchers doubt whether other birds also adapt to the lunar cycle when they migrate. “We will go on to examine that and what effects this type of synchronised migration has on the birds themselves and their surroundings,” says Gabriel Norevik.
【1】What can we learn from paragraph 3?
A．39 European nightjars were charted over a lifelong period.
B．European nightjars catch flying insects more easily by means of moonlight.
C．The individual birds start the migration ten days later than group birds.
D．The lunar cycle and the ending of the birds migration covary very well.
【2】Which of the following statements is true?
A．The birds’ migration has three patterns.
B．The birds migrate to northern Europe for food.
C．The stage of the migration starts after the full moon.
D．European nightjars’ migration is from August to December.
【3】What might be examined in the following study?
A．Nightjars’ habitat.
B．Absence of the moon.
C．Other birds’ migration.
D．Insects’ surroundings.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Migration Flight and moonlight
B．Migratory Birds and Autumn
C．Ten Days Makes a difference
D．European Nightjars Need to Migrate
22、 Why does cream go bad faster than butter? Some researchers think they have the answer, and it comes down to the structure of the food, not its chemical composition-a finding that could help break away from some chemicals. Cream and butter contain pretty much the same things, so why cream should go bad much faster has been a problem. Both are small globules (小球) of one liquid which spreads throughout another. The difference lies in what's in the globules and what's in the surrounding liquid, says Brocklehurst, who led the research. In cream, fatty globules drift about in a sea of water. In butter, globules of a watery roads are locked away in a sea of fat. The bacteria (细菌) which make the food go bad prefer to live in the watery areas of the mixture. "This means that in cream, the bacteria are free to grow throughout the mixture," he says, "when in butter, the bacteria are locked away in locked places buried deep in the sea of fat. Trapped in this way, those colonies cannot spread and rapidly run out. They also slowly poison themselves with their waste products." "In butter, you get a self-limiting system which stops the bacteria growing." says Brocklehurst. The researchers are already working with food companies eager to see if their products can be made to stand bacterial attack through changes of the food's structure.
Brocklehurst believes it will be possible to make something used in salad cream, for instance, more like that in butter. The key will be to do this while keeping the salad cream liquid and not turning it into a solid state.
【1】The significance of Brocklehurst's research is that __________.
A.it discovered small globules in both cream and butter
B.it suggested a way to keep some foods fresh without using some chemicals
C.it showed the secret of how bacteria increase in cream and butter
D.it found that cream and butter share the same chemical composition
【2】According to Brocklehurst, we can keep cream fresh by __________.
A.changing its structure B.killing the bacteria
C.reducing its water D.removing its fat
【3】The underlined word "colonies" in the first paragraph refers to __________.
A.tiny globules B.watery regions
C.the surrounding liquid D.bacteria society
【4】Commercial use of the research finding will be possible if salad cream can be made to stand bacterial attack _____.
A.by changing its chemical composition
B.by turning it into a solid lump (肿块)
C.while its liquid form remains
D.while keeping its structure unchanged
23、Stephen Hawking is one of the most famous scientists in this century. He was born in 1942. He's world well-known on space and time. Stephen was searching some very big questions, such as "How did the universe begin? How will it end?"
Stephen was a student at Oxford University. He studied math and science. Then, at the age of twenty, he became sick. He was so young, but the doctors said to his family, "He has only two more years to live." As a matter of fact, the doctors were wrong — he didn't die. He can't walk but he uses a wheelchair. He can't feed himself and get in or out of bed himself. But he refused to give in to the condition. He talks with the help of a computer. After Oxford, Stephen went to Cambridge University. Three years later, in 1965, he became a doctor of philosophy (哲学).
Because of his serious health problems, it was difficult for him to draw or to write. So he started to think in pictures. With this new way of thinking, he became one of the most famous scientists in the world. In 1981, he met the Pope (教皇) in Rome. They talked about his ideas. Then in 1988, he wrote his first important book, A Brief History of Time. It sold more than 5.5 million copies in 33 different languages. He was once invited to China. He impressed us with his self-confidence, humorous and witty (风趣的) conversation.(谈话)

24、In the UK, most children have their lunches at school, but in some schools, parents can choose what their children eat. The children can have a school dinner — a hot, cooked meal; or they can take a packed lunch with them, which usually includes cold food like sandwiches.
Often parents know what their children want. Cath, a mother of three children, told us, “My children have packed lunches because they say they hate school dinners. So I make three packed lunches every morning.”
However, another mother, Susan, made a different choice. She said, “My daughters have always had school dinners. I think they probably get healthier food at school than a few sandwiches I make for them.”
But are school dinners healthy? Kaz, a father, thought poorly of them. He said, “Fizzy drinks were offered and I think there were lots of chips.”
Jamie Oliver spent a year working in a school kitchen. He was worried about the unhealthy food which included burgers, pizzas and chips. So he tried to cook healthy food such as good stews and curries for the children instead.
So Jamie improved the school dinners, and trained the dinner ladies to cook healthy food in that school. Then he advised the government to improve school food across the country. And it seems that the changes have begun.
Anna, a pupil, told us, “we used to have a fast food window where you got chips and coke, but they stopped that this year. There’s salad restaurant, which is good, so it’s healthier than it was.”
【1】How many ways do most children in the UK have meals at school?
