21、In a world on fire and underwater, scientists have announced some good news: Several important tuna species have stepped back from the edge of extinction.
Two bluefin tuna species, a yellowfin, and an albacore are no longer seriously endangered or have moved off the leading international list of endangered species entirely.
The unexpectedly fast recovery speaks to the success of efforts over the past decade to end overfishing. But tuna are not the only species scientists are thinking carefully at the 2021 World Conservation Congress in Marseille, France, which is organized by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Researchers warn that many other sea species continued to be imperiled. For example, more than a third of the world’s sharks are still threatened with extinction due to overfishing, habitat loss, and climate change.
“I think the good news is that sustainable fishing industry are possible,” says Beth Polidoro, a biologist at Arizona State University. “We can eat fish without reducing the population to the point where it is on the road to dying out or extinction.” At the same time, she warns that the recovery should not encourage us to catch as many fish as we want. “We need to keep doing what’s working.” Polidoro adds.
The IUCN, which determines the world’s most endangered species on its Red List of Threatened Species, also announced at the meeting that some animals are moving in the other direction, onto the Red List. Like the Komodo dragon, a lizard, it is at particular risk from climate change.
Of course, the work of protection is never over, and it will require close and continuous attention to make sure neither tuna nor Komodo dragons return to the edge of dying out. But for now, people can celebrate a few wins for the animal world.
【1】What is the good news about tuna?
A.They have been removed from the list of endangered species.
B.The fishing of tuna has been put to an end completely.
C.The population of some tuna species has recovered.
D.The number of some tuna species increases slowly.
【2】What does the underlined word “imperiled” in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Dangerous.
B.Sustainable.
C.Disappointing.
D.Endangered.
【3】What can we learn from Beth Polidoro’s words?
A.We can fish tuna as much as we want.
B.Protecting tuna is a long way to go.
C.We shouldn’t encourage tuna fishing.
D.The population of tuna will reduce.
【4】Why does the writer mention “the Komodo dragon” in paragraph 5?
A.To introduce a topic.
B.To make a comparison.
C.To explain an idea.
D.To give an example.
22、Walking or running outdoors, people usually see rubbish all over the ground. Well, some people are doing something about it. 【1】 “Plogging” began in Sweden. The name connects the Swedish word “plocka” which means to pick up, and the word “jogging” which means to run slowly.
A Swedish man named Erik Ahlström, started the movement in 2016. He moved to Stockholm from a small community(社区) in northern Sweden. Each day he would ride his bike to work. He became worried about the amount of rubbish and litter he saw each day on his way to work. So, he took matters into his own hands. He began picking up the rubbish. 【2】
Today, plogging is an official activity, which is becoming more and more popular. People of all ages are welcome to plog. Exercise while helping your community. 【3】 It can also build closer social connections in a community. When the street looks bad and it’s dirty, you’re going to feel bad about the community. You may even feel less safe because of that. So if we’re all doing our part and picking it up, it’s very easy to help beautify it, and help build those social connection. 【4】 You get to feel some social duty when you do this.
Along with cleaning up the environment, there may be another reason to choose plogging instead of just jogging. You may get a better workout. One fitness app, Lifesum, records one hour of plogging as burning 288 calories. 【5】
As can be seen, cities around the world now hold plogging events. The goal is to spread the idea that littering is not acceptable. People would think twice before dropping a garbage on the ground.
A.And that is how plogging was born!
B.In other words, plogging is equal parts of exercise and community service.
C.There are people all around the world doing this.
D.They are plogging!
E.You get to know your neighbors.
F.And plogging does good to your mental health.
G.Usual jogging burns about 235 calories.
23、If your job requires a lot of sitting,you could be putting your health at danger.
The American Journal of Epidemiology(流行病学)did a study in 2010 on the connection between sitting and an individual's physical health.In the study,53,440 working men and 69,776 working women were surveyed on their time spent sitting.The subjects were all disease free when employed.The researchers identified 11,307 deaths in men and 7,923 deaths in women during the 14-year follow-up.
The findings: Women who reported sitting for more than six hours per day had an approximately 40 higher all-cause death rate than those who reported less than three hour a day,and men had an approximately 20 higher death rate.
Well,now is a fine time to get this information.But why didn't they tell me this years ago?I would have planned on taking a more active job instead of the sedentary(坐着的)job of an editor.
So what can you do if you have to work for a living at a job that requires a lot of sitting?Here are some ideas:
Take frequent breaks.It is recommended that workers vary activities,change their position,and take short breaks every 20 minutes to rest muscles and increase blood circulation.Get a standing desk.Some studies have shown that working from an upright position may be better for health.The serious fitness people can even purchase a treadmill (跑步机)desk.It only goes about one mile per hour.Have a walking meeting.If your group is kind of small,going for a walk while discussing topics is a good alternative.

26、阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
It was dark outside, just after the dinner hour, when Benny Correa and Amanda Disley and their three kids climbed into their black Cadillac Escalade. As they prepared to leave the parking lot of the restaurant where they’d just eaten, a dark blue Honda Civic crossed their path.
“Look,” Correa shouted, “that’s that car! That’s that car!”
Earlier in the day, Disley had mentioned an Amber (安珀紧急通告) issued for a missing 11-year-old girl named Moccia. The car that passed them was the same make and model as the one that had been used in the kidnapping (绑架).
Correa followed the Honda in an effort to see the license plate (车牌). The driver immediately sped up and blew through a stop sign. Correa shocked his family by following suit. He wasn’t about to lose the Honda. “Being a father, I had to do what I had to do,” he told ABC News.
The Honda pulled around the back of a fruit store. “They’re trying to get out of me,” Correa yelled. When the Honda came around to the front, Correa caught up and pulled ahead, trying to cut it off. The Honda hit the brakes (刹车). The Cadillac’s high beams of light flashed on the driver — a young man with black hair, pulling a sweatshirt up over his face. They could see him forcing a girl’s head down in the back, as if trying to hide her.
Disley, who by then had called 911, was conveying their situation to the dispatcher (调度员). “It’s him!” she yelled into the phone. “The kidnapper!”
Confused, the dispatcher asked, “The blue Honda?”
“Yes, it’s him!”
Correa stayed close behind the Honda. They were now racing down the road at 100mph. “He’s going through red lights!” Disley yelled to the dispatcher.
Correa hit the brakes to avoid an oncoming car and then hit the gas to catch up. “Get him, Dad!” his son shouted excitedly from the back. Keeping on the Honda’s tail, Correa discovered another problem: The low-gas light was flashing. Their car soon stopped. The Honda disappeared.
Paragraph 1:
But thanks to Disley’s directions, the police had confirmed the path the kidnapper was taking.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
To people’s relief, Moccia was saved eventually.
