21、 For years, business people in Western Europe were worried. They knew they could not compete against business from the U.S. The United States is much larger and had many more resources than any Western European countries.
Some European people realized that the European nations need to join together to help each other. If they could forget their language differences and the differences in customs, they might become strong competition against other countries.
In 1958, six of the European countries — Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, France, Germany and Italy got together and decided to cooperate. They called their group the European Economic Community, or the Common Market. These countries agreed to join their resources together.
Within a few years, the European Economic Community had worked so well that its members were more prosperous than many other European nations. Soon, other nations began to realize the advantage of the Common Market. Today the Common Market includes most of the important countries in Western Europe. It is helping Western Europe to again take its place as a leader among the industrial nations of the world.
【1】From the passage we know the U.S. is much richer than ________ in resources.
A.any other Western European countries B.any other country in Western Europe
C.any country in Western Europe D.every country in Europe
【2】The members of the European Economic Community have developed fast because they ___.
A.share their resources and become more prosperous
B.can again take the place as a leader in the world
C.forget the differences in their languages and customs
D.have become strong competition against the U.S.
【3】Which statement is true?
A.The Common Market is only a political association.
B.The Common Market is an economic and political association.
C.The Common Market is only an economic association.
D.The Common Market is neither an economic association nor a political one.
【4】In order to ______ the Western European countries decided to cooperate.
A.join together to found a united country
B.help each other to smooth away the differences in customs
C.work and act together for common purpose
D.work together and fight against the U.S.
22、 The best and most-commonly used sources for the pills we have are oily fish like salmon（畦）， mackerel and sardines. Many environmentalists fear that some species are being over fished for this purpose. We may have an endless voracity for fish oil, but we don't have an endless supply of fish.
Menhaden, which is described as “a big-headed, smelly, foot-long fish" , is in great danger. Although prized for dinner in the 18th century, the species has become the unknown victim of the fish oil business 9 which presents us with potential sea fish. Menhaden filter-feed almost entirely on algae （海藻）and is especially good at changing it into-3 fatty acids, which make them a good target for fish oil companies.
One particular company, Protein of Houston, has been fishing 90 percent of the country' s menhaden. It's become such a big problem that 13 of the 15 Atlantic states have banned the company * s boats from their waters. Yet the company is still allowed to fish in North Carolina and Virginia, as well as federal waters; the company * s efforts result in the removing of half a billion menhaden every year.
Aside from running out a public natural resource for a company，s private profit, the damage to the ecosystem is cause for alarm. The muddy brown color of the Long Island Sound is the direct result of lacking water nitration （过滤）一a job that was once done by menhaden.
Menhaden keep the ocean waters of the Atlantic and Gulf coasts clean. A menhaden filters four to six gallons of water of algae in a minute, which prevents underwater dead zones.
Measures should be taken to avoid the over fished situation. Plant seeds such as flax seed, chiaseeds, hemp seeds, and sesame seeds — and particularly their oils — are good vegetarian sources of omega-3 fatty acids, although the mix of specific acids is different from which one can get with fish.
【1】Why does menhaden become a good fish for companies to make pills?
A.It is good at forming-3 fatty acids.
B.It feeds mainly on the harmful algae.
C.It is well-known for its rich protein.
D.It is relatively easy for companies to catch.
【2】What does the underlined word "voracity" in paragraph 1 mean?
A.trouble B.shortage
C.resource D.appetite
【3】What does the author intend to suggest us in the last paragraph?
A.To grow more plants for their seeds to make oil.
B.To use some substitutes instead of more fish oil.
C.To call on the government to make laws in fishing.
D.To take part in more activities to protect the environment.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A.The broken natural ecosystem. B.The process of making fish oil.
C.Bad effects of fish oil making. D.How to use natural resources.
23、For many foreigners, finding new friends can case the often overwhelming task of adjusting to a new life abroad. The following countries can definitely feel more welcoming than others.
Uganda
This East African country received the highest marks for friendliness. According to the InterNations report, 57% of foreigners in Uganda gave ‘general friendliness’ the best possible rating (the global average was 26%). Not only that, not a single respondent ranked this factor negatively. Uganda isn’t without its problems, however, including the occasional power failure, and pollution from old cars.
Costa Rica
The Central American country ranks high across all factors when it comes to how easily foreigners fit in. Almost nine out of 10 foreigners (89%) are pleased with the general friendliness of the population, and eight out of 10 (79%) feel at home, according to the survey.
“If you make an effort to understand and eagerly accept the Costa Rican culture, you are very much welcomed with open arms and considered a friend.”
Colombia
This South American hotspot feels like home fast, according to many foreigners.
“The Colombian people are eager to show their country in a positive light and are very receptive and hospitable towards newcomers,” said Anne. Colombia is one of the countries in the world with the lowest percentage of foreign-born residents.
Oman
As one of the sunniest countries in the world, Oman also has friendly residents who reflect the warm climate. A welcoming culture rooted in faith also leads to an openness with newcomers.
While the cost of living in Oman is growing more expensive, it was recently ranked by Mercer as one of the more affordable places to live in the Middle East.
【1】Which of the four countries has its environmental disadvantage?
A．Uganda.
B．Costa Rica.
C．Colombia.
D．Oman.
【2】How can you be regarded as a friend while in Costa Rica?
A．By speaking highly of the locals’ friendliness.
B．By showing your country in a positive light.

D．The good education of foreign-born residents.
24、A new species of pygmy seahorse(豆丁海马)has been discovered off the coast of South Africa in Sodwana Bay, attracting scientists with its tiny size — only 2.7 centimeters.
An international research team studied the tiny pygmy seahorse in 2019, after it was spotted by chance by diving instructor Savannah Nalu Olivier who was exploring algae on the seafloor of the bay. But it wasn’t easy to see, according to a press release from the University of Leeds in Australia. That’s because these sea creatures are camouflaged(伪装)by their stony golden-brown look.
This is the first time that a pygmy seahorse has ever been discovered in the Indian Ocean. In fact, the closest known pygmy seahorse species live 8000 kilometers away in a region of the Pacific Ocean called the Coral Triangle. Until now, all but one of the seven pygmy seahorse species were found in the triangle, making this discovery particularly puzzling.
The study was led by Graham Short from the California Academy of Sciences. It discovers a number of detailed features that differentiate this species from other seahorses. While larger seahorses have gills(鳃)on each side of their head, the Sodwana Bay pygmy seahorse has only one-gill slit on its back. That would be “like having a nose on the back of your neck,” Short said in an interview. The tiny seahorse also has a set of sharp spines on its back while other pygmy seahorses have flat-tipped spines. The researchers haven’t figured out what it is used for yet.
The tiny pygmy seahorse reminds us that when we open our eyes, the natural world becomes an endless mystery. Unknown species and even entire ecosystems are waiting to be discovered in places we never thought possible.
【1】What interests the scientists about the tiny pygmy seahorse?
A．Its small size.
B．Its strange sound.
C．Its special habit.
D．Its beautiful color.
【2】What makes the discovery of this tiny pygmy seahorse confusing?
A．It lives very far away from the big ocean.
B．People can’t tell it from other species.
C．It was found in a different place from other species.
D．Researchers haven’t known the functions of its gills.
【3】What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A．The importance of the discovery.
B．The reasons for doing the research.
C．The species of pygmy seahorses.
D．The characteristics of the tiny pygmy seahorse.
