21、Green tree ants are important builders in the rainforest. They’re like the worker bees of the ant world. The native forest of Thala Beach Nature Reserve is the natural home of these insects.
They climb all over the tree that contains their nest and protect it from enemies with great fierceness. The ants are often in the fruiting trees of Tropical North Queensland. When an animal tries to help themselves to some tasty fruit, they find themselves attacked by a powerful, frightening army of green tree ants! Their bite is not very painful but many ants attacking at the same time can be extremely uncomfortable.
The nests are large and constructed by sticking the leaves at the end of branches together to create a home looking roughly like a globe. Most of the nest construction and weaving is conducted at night. A mature colony of green tree ants can hold as many as 100,000 to 500,000 workers and may include as many as 12 trees and contain as any as 150 nests. Green tree ant colonies have one queen and a colony can live up to eight years.
However, the ants are so busy that they fail to spot a dishonest figure. There is a spider called the Salticid spider, or the jumping spider, as they are sometimes referred to, which has excellent eyesight and is only active during daylight, weaving a protective covering of silk to spend the night in. Interestingly, the Salticid spider does not look like a green tree ant. Instead, it chemically copies green tree ants’ smell. Effectively pretending to be an ant, it goes into the green tree ants’ nest, enters the nursery and feasts on their babies. Green tree ants don’t have good eyesight and smell everything with their antennae (two long thin parts on an ant’s head). Therefore, the ants think the spider is another ant and ignore its presence within the nest.
Next time, as you wander around Thala’s native forest, keep an eye out for these busy little creatures. Look up into the trees and you’ll likely spot their nests.
【1】What does Paragraph 2 tell us about green tree ants?
A. They often start wars for food. B. They like tasty fruit very much.
C. They leave painful bites. D. They have good defenses.
【2】What is special about the green tree ant’s nest?
A. It takes years to weave a nest. B. It is reconstructed yearly.
C. It is made of leaves. D. It can hold up to 500,000 ants.
【3】Why do green tree ants regard the spider as another ant?
A. It can communicate with them. B. It can make familiar sounds.
C. It has a similar smell. D. It has an ant’s appearance.
【4】What can we say about the Salticid spider?
A. It is the green tree ant’s enemy. B. It helps the green tree ant build bests.
C. It is harmful to fruiting trees. D. It protects the green tree ant.
22、Can you imagine a bicycle that has an iPhone on its handle and provides navigation tools and fitness information, along with data collectors that measure air pollution? This is just the beginning of the list of things that this dynamic new bicycle, known as the Copenhagen Wheel, is capable of. The biggest characteristic of this bike is its red hub (轮轴) on the back wheel, where the brain of the bike stores power, increases speed, monitors the rider’s exercise, and collects data from the air and the environment. The data that is collected is put onto a public website so citizens can find out what their city’s atmosphere is like during the day.
The Copenhagen Wheel comes to us from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the U.S.A. It was developed by a part of MIT that is putting “intelligence” into everyday things that are a part of the infrastructure (基本设施) of our cities. Researchers from MIT chose the Copenhagen Conference on Climate Change to show off the new bicycle, and early feedback (反馈) was very positive.
The goal of the Copenhagen Wheel project is to promote (促进) cycling by lengthening the distance people can cover. In addition, the makers ensure the whole bike riding experience is smoother so that even steep (陡峭的) roads are no longer a problem for comfortable cycling. This new bicycle is also perfect for protecting the environment, and many big cities are making plans to encourage their citizens to use this two-wheeler when they go to and from work. The director of the Copenhagen Wheel project, Christine Outram, expects that this new bike will help lead the charge of smart transportation into the 21st century. She is fully convinced that many big cities will see the benefits of promoting this type of cycling to their citizens.
【1】What’s the key characteristic of the Copenhagen Wheel?
A．The red hub.
B．The fast speed.
C．The data collector.
D．The iPhone on its handle.
【2】What is the use of the collected data?
A．To record the rider’s fitness information.
B．To monitor the condition of the bicycle,
C．To help improve riders’ exercise plans.
D．To show what the environment is like.
【3】What did people think of the Copenhagen Wheel at the beginning?
A．They doubted it.
B．They welcomed it.
C．They were surprised by it.
D．They were uninterested in it.
【4】What’s the main purpose of the Copenhagen Wheel project?
A．To improve public transportation.
B．To make steep road riding comfortable.
C．To encourage citizens to do more cycling.
D．To make citizens’ riding safer than before.
23、 People are always looking for lost cities and occasionally one is found: Borobudur in Indonesia, for example. But perhaps some of the places people look for never existed—or did they? Here are just a few famous mythical(传说中的) cities.
El Dorado
El Dorado is a story that began in 1537 when Spanish explorers found the Muisca people in the mountains of what is now Colombia. They heard the story of a man who covered himself with gold and dived into a lake. Then people began to talk of El Dorado—“the golden man”. Soon people started to think of El Dorado as a place, too— a city of gold and amazing riches. Nowadays, the name “El Dorado” is still used to mean “a place where you can get rich quickly”.
Atlantis
There was once an island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. It was the mythical island of Atlantis. The people of the island were very rich, thanks to the natural resources on their island. For hundreds of years, they lived simple lives. But slowly they began to change. They started to want power. So the gods decided to destroy Atlantis. Suddenly, the island and its people were swallowed(淹没) by the sea and were never seen, again.
Shambhala
In Tibetan Buddhist tradition, Shambhala is a mystical country that is hidden somewhere behind the Himalayas. Shambhala is a word from an old language that means “place of peace” or “place of happiness”. It is said that there is no war in Shambhala, and in the future, when the world is full of war, a huge army will come out of Shambhala, destroy the world’s bad rulers, and start a new Golden Age. Some people say this will happen in 2424.
【1】What does “El Dorado” mean nowadays?

C.A place of great wealth. D.A city with mountains.
【2】According to legends(传说), Atlantis was destroyed by _______.

D.There will be a war in Shambhala.
24、I used to think education was the most important thing in my life. Recently my attitude has begun to change, although I still hold that it is essential for everyone in the world today. As a top junior student in my college, I was asked to make a speech on how to learn English well. Standing in front of the audience and facing so many freshmen, I was trembling. I didn’ t remember any word that I had prepared. I ran out of the conference room without finishing my speech, leaving everyone puzzled. I cried that night in my room, feeling that I was a loser. Studying takes up so much of my time that I feel unable to really develop myself. I am just storing knowledge, yet I fail to communicate with others. I have received many awards in school, but they don’t necessarily reflect anything about me. I don’t know how to socialize. When I leave school I fear I will be of no use to society.
I realize that everyone has his own way of living. I want to change my lifestyle. Of course I will keep studying. Yet I plan to look for a part-time job, which might turn out to be a good chance to get to know society. I still believe that working my hardest makes me happy. I will still stay on in college. But I will not allow it to shelter me from the real world.

A. show that she is a top student
B. show how much time she has spent in learning
