21、If there is one thing that comes to mind when the words “South Pacific” are spoken, then it must be coconut palms (椰子树). Most of us have images of all attractive coconut palms lining sandy beaches. But the coconut tree is more than a central characteristic of picture postcards bought by tourists.
To people of the South Pacific, the coconut tree is also known as the “Tree of Life”. It gets this name because of the different kinds of products which the coconut palm provides from its various parts. From the leaves down to its roots, it plays a great part in the life of many island people. The coconut tree provides food, shelter, fuel as well as income from exports.
Coconut leaves produce good-quality paper pulp (纸浆), hats, wastebaskets and bags. Flesh (果肉) and water (often called the milk) from the young, green coconut can be taken as a healthy food and drink. It is also used in salads and other tasty dishes.
Coconut husks (外壳) it are often thrown away, but they can be used to produce different kinds of useful products such as ropes, fishing nets, and floor coverings.
Coconut water can be used in the production of wine and is also used to treat a number of medical problems.
The white coconut flesh is a good source of coconut oil, coconut chips, and feed for animals.
The trunk of the coconut tree is a strong and durable wood, which can be used to build houses.
Medicines and dyes (燃料) are obtained from the roots.
The English oak, the Lebanon cedar or the Australian gum tree all have a place in history but the coconut palm is the only true “Tree of Life”.
【1】Why is the coconut palm called the “Tree of Life”?
A.It has a long lifetime.
B.It is mostly exported.

22、Birds in eastern North America are picking up the pace along their yearly migratory (迁移的) paths. The reason, according to researchers, is rising temperatures due to climate change.
Using migration information collected in eBird, a citizen science program database containing 10 years’ worth of observations from amateur birdwatchers, assistant professor of biology Allen Hurlbert, Ph.D., and his team analyzed when 18 different species of birds arrived at various points across their migration journeys.
Pushing migration earlier in the year could negatively affect birds over the long term, Hurlbert said. “Timing of bird migration is something critical for the overall health of bird species,” he said. “They have to time it right so they can balance arriving on breeding (繁殖) grounds after there’s no longer a risk of severe winter conditions. If they get it wrong, they may die or may not produce as many young.”
Hurlbert said, the speed at which a species migrates is the biggest influence on how strongly it responds to increasing temperatures. Slow migrators were the most adaptable to changes. Additionally, the length of the migration path affects how quickly birds move from one location to another.
“It makes sense that if you take your time to move north, you’re sort of checking out the surroundings around you,” he said. “If the conditions seem too cold, you can decide there’s no point in moving on that day. Species that tended to advance quickly, as well as those migrating from greater distances, such as Central or South America, were less able to adapt to temperature changes.”
However, being a slow traveler does not free a species from all climate change-induced migration challenges. Because they stay in one spot longer, such birds have heavier habitat and food requirements, making them more dependent upon the resources that are available along their paths. That reliance could become a greater problem if climate projections for the next 50 years to 75 years hold true, Hurlbert said. Climatologists predict the Northeast will continue to warm at a faster pace than the Southeast, potentially forcing slow migrators to move even slower and put greater difficulty on their migratory routes.
【1】The rising temperatures led to _______________.
A.the speed-up of birds’ migration
B.the weakness of the birds’ physical health
C.the birds’ less demand for food
D.the variation of breeding grounds
【2】According to Hurbert, wrong timing of bird migration can lead to ___________.
A.a risk of wrong migration paths
B.change in life habit
C.a lack of natural resources
D.decrease in bird population
【3】What is the most important factor in adapting to climate change for birds?
A.The cycle of migration.
B.Migration speed.
C.Their local habitat.
D.The temperature along the migratory path.
【4】What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A.Climatologists’ prediction.
B.Climate changes’ bad effects.
C.Challenges of slow migrators’ migration.
D.Changes of birds’ migratory routes.

24、Figure skating (花样滑冰) got its name from the designs, or “figures”, that are made on century. Very complicated and elaborate (精美的) patterns invented by the skater were drawn on the ice with the skater’s blades (冰刃). Some designs that were created included rosettes (花结), stars and crosses. 【1】 .
The only year special figures took place in the Olympics was in 1908. Nikolai Panin of Russia won the event and was Russia’s first Olympic Champion.
Figures were the most important part of the original Olympic figure skating events. 【2】 For that reason, the general public was not all that excited about watching figure skating at the first Olympics.
In the mid-1930s, Olympic Champion Sonja Henie, increased the popularity of figure skating, 【3】. Her beauty and athletic ballet style increased figure skating’s popularity worldwide.
How has figure skating changed since it first started thousands of years ago, and why?
Ice skating began about 4, 000 years ago in Finland. 【4】. The first skates were made of flattened bone that was tied to the bottom of the feet. In the 13th century, the Dutch invented steel blades with edges (刃). In the Netherlands, all classes of people skated. James II introduced ice skating to the British noblemen in the late 1600s. Queen Victoria also enjoyed ice skating.
Today, ice skating can actually be done year-round since there are indoor ice arenas all over the world. 【5】, even though the majority of ice skaters are children and teens
