21、 Scientists often compare coral reefs (珊瑚礁) to underwater rainforests, yet unlike the leafy plant base of a forest, corals are animals. The soft creatures are naturally half-transparent and get their brilliant color from algae (藻类) living inside them. When corals experience stress from hot temperatures or pollution, they halt the interdependent relationship with algae, typically pushing them out and turning white. Corals are still alive when they are white, but they’re at risk and many eventually die, turning dark brown.
Scientists around the world are looking for means to protect and maybe increase corals. One common option is to create more protected areas — essentially national parks in the ocean. Beyond nature preserves, some conservationists are looking for more hands-on methods. One research center in the Florida Keys is exploring a form of natural selection to keep corals remaining. The reef system in the Keys has been hit hard by climate change and pollution, which is especially tough, because corals there help support fisheries worth $ 100 million every year.
To keep the wild ecosystem alive, Erinn Muller, the center’s director, and her team are harvesting samples of the corals that survived the environmental stress naturally, keeping them to make them reproduce, and then reattaching them to the reef. They have 46,000 corals on plastic frames under the sea. So far, the center has regrown over 70,000 corals from five different species on damaged reefs.
In the Bahamas, Ross Cunning, a research biologist at Chicago’s Shedd Aquarium, focuses on corals with genes that could make them natural candidates for restoration projects. He published a study of two Bahamian reefs, one that survived an extreme 2015 heat wave, and one that didn’t. “We think their ability to deal with these higher temperatures is built into their genes,” says Cunning. There’s evidence of corals evolving more quickly to resist rapidly warming climate. The big question scientists need to investigate, adds Gunning, is how much more heat corals can adapt to.
【1】What does the underlined word “halt” in the first paragraph mean?
A．Weaken.
B．Develop.
C．Strengthen.
D．End.
【2】What do Muller and her team do to save corals?
A．Restore the damaged reefs.
B．Grow corals underwater.
C．Create more protected areas.
D．Move corals to unpolluted areas.
【3】What do Cunning’s words suggest?
A．Many corals have been genetically improved.
B．Cooling down the waters is the key to rescuing corals.
C．The highest temperature corals can survive is unclear.
D．Reasons for corals surviving heat waves need investigation.
【4】Which is the text mainly about?
A．The efforts made to save corals.
B．The impact of climate warming on corals.
C．The survival crisis faced by coral reefs.
D．The relationship between corals and algae.

23、 The candles we make at Wax Buffalo are imperfect-"beautifully imperfect'，as we like to say. one is unique, hand-poured (手工灌注的)with pure soy wax (大豆蜡). It's a small business 1 started, and everyone who enjoy, working here comes into the studio in free time, so they can be home with their family, cats, dogs at prime times.
I first fell in love with candles on visits to my grandmother Feme's house in Lincoln. At night, candlelight flashed off the book-lined walls. During the day, she'd take me to a cafe in the historic Haymarket district and we'd drink tea out of china cups.
I poured my first candle at the age of 14, using the candle-making tool that Feme had given me. I gave the finished product to my grandmother for Christmas. She loved that candle I'd made for her. That first candle was imperfect. Beautifully imperfect・
Then in 2014. life took a dark turn for my grandmother. The breast cancer took away her life. I found myself thinking about the candle-making tool she had given me as a 14-year-old kid and the joy it had brought me. I began pouring candles again, making them for friends. Because of kids' health. I'd become especially interested in natural products. I used locally sourced soy wax. Was there a way I could make candles for people beyond my group of friends? And so, Christmas of that year, Wax Buffalo was launched. Little by little, the business grew as we found more people who wanted our candles. Now our candles are sold in more than 60 shops across the country.
Isn't life wonderful? Indeed, it is beautifully imperfect. But it hasn't turned out at all how I'd have predicted. I think that's what Ferne wanted me to understand. To trust the light of hope, to enjoy fun in its light, to know that it can transform a person from within.
【1】What may be one of the advantages of working in Wax Buffalo?
A.Relaxing task. B.High payment
C.Flexible time D.Imperfect conditions.
【2】When did the author probably start her business
A.After she turned 14.
B.After her grandmother died.
C.After she visited Ferne's house.
D.After her grandmother sent her candle making tool.
【3】Why did the author use soy wax?
A.To make harmless candles B.To make candles look better.
C.To save the cost of production. D.To improve the figures of candles
【4】What can be inferred from the text?
A.Imperfection exists everywhere. B.Life takes off from a dark turn.
C.Life can be predicted somehow D.Being hopeful about life is important.
24、People love the “comeback kid”, the “down and out guy”, and any variety of defeated people whom we’ve seen fail, then manage to dust off their bootstraps (独自所作的努力) and take on life again. Everyone should get this chance in life, and they should get it over and over and over again. Everyone, that is, except our teenagers, right?
At least that is how parents, teachers, college admission officers, coaches, and others who spend time with adolescents have led all of us to believe. We have all bought the great lie that there is not only zero room for today’s teenagers to fail academically, but any form of failure is a great embarrassment to everyone involved. And I do mean everyone.
Ever notice how quick parents are to share college acceptance letters, scholarships, SAT scores, and pretty much all the perfect resumes (简历) of their high schoolers for everyone to see on social media? Surely it makes moms and dads extremely proud. We all want to take credit for our teenager’s great accomplishments, and while that is all well and good, it also means that when failure happens, we scatter like sheep when a wolf arrives, because failure on their part means failure on our part.
Adolescent brains do not have the bandwidth to process that failure is temporary, and that high school is but a small spot on their life map. Unfortunately, while we may talk that talk, our actions do not bolster it. Anyone who has been through the competitive college application and scholarship process knows this all too well, because there is no room for any form of failure. But this is wrong.
Tell your kids that failure doesn’t define them. Tell them it’s normal, natural, and expected. Tell them failure creates comeback stories, and the opportunity to rise even higher and better than before. And finally, tell them you don’t worry that they will fail; you worry that they won’t.
【1】What is the problem of today’s teenagers?
A．They cannot make their choices.
B．They are easily defeated.
C．They’re not allowed to fail.
D．They face various lies.
【2】What does the underlined word “bolster” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A．Affect.
B．Support.
C．Remove.
D．Improve.
【3】What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph?
A．Success is very important.
B．Hard work means success.
C．Success needs family’s support.
D．Failure just leads to success.
【4】What is the main idea of the text?
A．Parents should allow themselves to fail.
B．Teens are wrong about their college life.
C．Parents are teens’ lifelong supporters .
D．Teens should know failing is OK.
