21、Students from Oceanside High School in Rockland will be able to sleep a little longer from this autumn.
The director of Regional School Lew Collins said during the school’s Thursday night meeting that the schedule(时刻表) for the schools will be changed. Oceanside East and West will start half an hour later, at 8 a.m. for the new school year.
Research has shown that teenagers’ brains are often not fully awake at 6:30 a.m. Collins said the schedule, which is used to get students to go to school for classes that begin at 7:30 a.m., calls for some to get on buses before 6 a.m. to get to school on time. Teachers are having meetings at 6:40 a.m., which is too early, he thinks.
Collins visited the high schools in Rockland and asked students when they would like classes to begin. Most of them said 8 a.m. “I was surprised. I thought they would have said 9:00 or 10:00,” he said.
The National Sleep Foundation says on its website that teenagers’ biological clocks are designed to stay up later and get up later. The Foundation calls for schools to change their schedules, which means a later start for elementary students(小学生) as well.
“We do not have enough buses to run, because all the high school and elementary school buses run almost at the same time,” Collins said. He suggested, “We should buy six more buses and get six more drivers to keep the new schedule working.”
Elementary school classes in Rockland now start at 8:30 a.m., but they will be moved to 8:45 a.m., starting in the autumn. “I know this is a problem for working parents, but we will see what we can come up with,” said Jane Brown, a teacher at Bardonia Elementary School. “Anyway, I believe if students get more sleep they’ll be more ready to learn when classes start,” she added.
【1】What’s the purpose of making a new schedule?
A．To add more interesting subjects.
B．To help students do better in class.
C．To ask parents to learn about schools.
D．To cut the number of meetings down.
【2】One of the problems the schools are faced with in Rockland is that they will ________.
A．be afraid of working parents’ disagreement
B．be worried about children’s safety
C．be short of school buses and drivers
D．be lacking in money
【3】What does Jane Brown think of the new schedule?
A．She is not certain about it.
B．She is not interested in it.
C．She is worried about it.
D．She is hopeful about it.
22、 “What! You, too? I thought I was the only one.” Have you ever said this to someone? If so, you may have ended up becoming friends with this person.
It seems that similarity often helps form friendships. The Greek philosopher Aristotle once said, “Some define friendship as a matter of similarity, they say that we love those who are like ourselves.”
Now, there is some science behind this idea. Scientists from University of California said friends have similar brains, Scientific American reported. The scientists invited 42 university students to be involved in an experiment. Each student watched the same set of videos, which included a comedy, a debate and a soccer match. Meanwhile, scientists scanned their brains and recorded their brain activity.
According to their scans, friends who watched the same video clips reached in similar ways. Similar parts of their brains lit up while watching the videos, especially parts that are connected with motivation, learning and memory.
However, people who weren’t friends had different reactions to the same clips. Having close friends whose brains react like ours “may be rewarding because it backs up one’s own values, opinions, and interests,” lead scientist Carolyn Parkinson told Business Insider.
【1】What do the underlined words “this idea” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A．We like those who like us first.
B．Many friendships start with small chats.
C．People with similarities may become friends.
D．Friends try to develop similarities between themselves.
【2】What do we know about the 42 university students in the experiment?
A．They all watched the same set of videos.
B．They reacted differently from each other.
C．They are all from the University of California.
D．They were close friends before the experiment.
【3】What did the scans of the students’ brains showed?
A．They are tired of watching the same videos.
B．Watching videos make one’s memory better.
C．Friends had similar reactions to the same clips.
D．It’s essential to have friends who react similarly.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Getting on well with Friends.
B．Making Friends with Strangers.
C．Doing Scientific Research on Friendship.
D．Building Friendship by Sharing Similarities.
23、There is a mobility system or wheelchair which can be seen at Tokyo Airport moving on its own.
The mobility system seats one person and is able to find its way on its own without hitting anything. It has a pre-programmed path of about 600 meters at Tokyo’s Haneda International Airport. The ride lasts several minutes. It travels from the security area to the boarding gate at a speed of 3.5 kilometers per hour. But many people hope this type of technology can help in other places, such as hospitals or parks. The technology uses sensors and cameras to see a clear path and avoid hitting those walking toward it. The person on the machine can start or stop it through a simple controller. It runs on batteries and is programmed to return to where it starts from when its passenger gets off. It was demonstrated on Monday by WHILL, the company behind the technology.
WHILL Chief Executive Satoshi Sugie said robotics and self-driving technology reduce the need for a human at the wheel. They are especially useful in these difficult times when we are living with the corona-virus.” We are developing our business in order to help restore a world where people can enjoy moving around with peace of mind,” Sugie said.
The system is helping with social distance while fighting the spread of the corona-virus. It also helps older passengers and those who need help walking the last few steps to the boarding gate. What’ s more, it could help Japan free up labor. Japan, like many other nations, suffers from a labor shortage. The technology could free a worker to do another job.
Tests have been carried out at several airports since last year, including John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York. The company hopes to put it in airports around the world.
【1】What is special about the mobility system?
A．It needs no help at the airport.
B．It works by solar energy.
C．It is programmed ahead of time.
D．It adjusts the speed to the path.
【2】What does Satoshi Sugie think of the wheelchair?
A．It is useless to some people.
B．It deserves to be widely used.
C．It needs to be further tested.
D．It may not work well in other places.
【3】What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A．Various difficulties of boarding.
B．New treatment for the corona-virus.
C．The reasons for a labor shortage.
D．The advantages of the mobility system.
【4】In which section of a magazine may this text appear?
A．Society and development.
B．Business and culture.
C．Science and technology.
D．Geography and history.
24、Western conservation groups are seeking stricter laws to deal with trade in endangered wildlife, but Dr. Paul Jepson warns that this isn’t the best solution. He highlights the case of the Bali starling (八哥). Bringing in tougher laws created unexpected outcomes, which contributed to the bird’s extinction in the wild in 2006.
He said that the traditional law enforcement (执行) approach that outlawed (宣布……非法) ownership of the Bali starling in the 1980s and 1990s increased rather than reduced the demand for wild-caught Bali starlings. The bird has become a popular gift among the rich of Indonesia, who can gain more status by owning one.
Instead, a case-by-case analysis might be needed. Last year, he said, a bird association set up a network of breeders (饲养者) among the owners of Bali starling on the island of Java. By introducing a “crowd-breeding” model, it transformed the bird into a species whose price and source of supply were publicly known. This lessened the status of keeping such birds and thereby reduced their profitability to black market suppliers.
Another case was on Nusa Penida, an island southeast of Bali. A Balinese conservation group planned to release starlings on the island. Critics tried to block the plan, saying the island was outside the birds’ native zone. Eventually, the Governor of Bali came up with a proposal. The starlings were given to a local temple as a ceremonial offering before they were released. This gave the Bali starling status as a “sacred bird”, giving them protection under customary laws. Now the released starlings established a breeding population on Nusa Penida.
Dr. Jepson commented, “I do not want to criticize the international approach seeking tighter law enforcement, but this case study shows we should not oversimplify how we respond to the problem of the wildlife trade. There is a growing body of evidence that shows more different approaches are sometimes needed to fit with the local social and political realities. We should tailor solutions on more of a case-by-case basis.”
【1】What might speed up the wild Bali starling’s extinction in 2006?
A．The bad natural environment.
B．The side effect of strict protection laws.
C．The debate over the wildlife trade.
D．The popularity of the bird in the world.
【2】Why was the “crowd-breeding” model introduced?
A．To block the strict laws passed by the government.
B．To cut off the supply to the black market.
C．To make the Bali starling less profitable.
D．To increase the demand for the Bali starling.
【3】What can we know about the case-by-case analysis?
A．It implies there’s more than one way to solve a problem.
B．It advocates stricter law enforcement.
C．It has attracted close attention of conservation groups.
D．It is acknowledged as the best solution to illegal wildlife trade.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A．Stricter enforcement is needed for the biodiversity of Indonesia
B．The Bali starling comes back to Nusa Penida
C．Cutting off the market for the illegal wildlife trade
D．Tougher laws to reduce wildlife trade are not enough
