21、There’s no doubt that man is the smartest. But do you know what other animals are smart, too?
Dolphins
Dolphins are very smart. Most of the “tricks” they’re taught to do are actually behavior they would engage in on their own. They love to play, race and generally enjoy their life to the fullest. They speak a language we have yet to completely understand and like all civilized creatures, dolphins’ mothers always provide their young children with guidance and possibly, love.
Great apes
The great ape family primarily consists of gorillas, chimpanzees and orangutans. Their brain chemistry is so similar to humans’ that NASA once used chimpanzees in place of astronauts during many dangerous missions. Gorillas have been taught sign language and orangutans exist in complex familial relationships.

22、John Keats was an English poet, whose poetry described the beauty of the natural world and art as the vehicle for his poetic imagination. Regarded as one of the English language’s most naturally gifted poets, John Keats wrote poetry that concentrated on imagination, human nature, and philosophy. Although Keats didn’t receive much formal literary education, his own studies and passion brought him much success. Besides, his own life situation influenced his poetry greatly.
Growing up as a young kid in London in a lower, middle-class family, the young John didn’t attend a private school, but went to public school in Enfield, near his home. His teachers and his family’s friends regarded him as an optimistic boy who liked playing and fighting much more than minding his studies. After his father’s death in the early 1800s, followed by his mother’s passing away due to illness, he began to view life differently. He wanted to escape the world and did so by reading anything he could get his hands on.
At around the age of 16, John Keats began studying under a surgeon so that he too might become a doctor. However, his love for literature had taken too much of his time, especially with his addiction to the poetry of Edmund Spenser. Within two months in 1817, Keats had written an entire volume of poetry that would be published, but was criticized sharply in Blackwood’s Magazine. However, it didn’t stop him.
John Keats’ next work to be published was Endymion, which he wrote in 1817 and was published in May 1818. The story tells a boy who falls in love with the moon goddess and leads him to an adventure of one boy’s hope to overcome the limitations of being human. Following Endymion, he wrote Isabella. His next work was Hyperion that would attempt to combine all he learned. However, an attack of tuberculosis(肺结核) while visiting Italy kept him from his work and took his life in 1821.
【1】What changed John Keats’ attitude towards life?
A．The poetry of Edmund Spenser.
B．His early education at school.
C．The criticism from a magazine.
D．The death of his parents.
【2】What do we know from the text?
A．Keats spent two months writing a poem in 1817.
B．Keats hardly received education at school.
C．Keats had an affection for Edmund’s poetry
D．Endymion tells of Keats’ love story.
【3】What can be inferred from the text?
A．Edmund Spenser was a famous doctor.
B．Hyperion might remain uncompleted.
C．Keats’ family must be very poor.
D．Keats rewrote his poem Isabella.
23、 A new enemy is threatening Japanese traditions: leisure. A part of its attempt to increase imports, the government is trying to get people to work less and spend more. The workers are disgusted.
The figures support the western prejudice that the Japanese are all working without play. Trying to force workers away from their desks and machines, the government said last April that the country should cut down from its 2,100 hours average work year to 1,899 hours and a five-day by 1992. Beginning in February, banks and offices two Saturdays a month. The government hopes that others will follow that practice. But some persuasion will be needed. Small companies are very angry about it and they fear competitions may not cut hour. The unions are no happier: they have even advertised in newspapers arguing their case against the foreign pressure that is forcing leisure upon them. They say shorter hours are a disguised pay cut. The industrialists, who have no objection to the government’s plans, admit that shorter hours will help them cut costs. Younger Japanese who are supposed to be acting against their hard-working parents, show no sign of wanting time off either. But unlike older workers, they do spend money in their spare time. Not content with watching TV, they dance, dress up, sit in cafes, go to pop concerts and generally drive the leisure-industry boom. Now that they know how to consume, maybe the West can teach them to relax and enjoy themselves too.
【1】A possible reason for workers’ unwillingness (不情愿) to accept more leisure is that ____.
A.they are not used to leisure
B.they don’t want to spend more
C.they will earn less money
D.they view leisure a challenge to Japanese traditions

A.The small companies. B.The unions.

【3】The younger workers are different from the old workers as _______.
A.the former have a new style of consumption
B.the former want to have more leisure
C.the former don’t like watching TV
D.the former are anti-social
【4】It can be inferred that the Japanese government adopts the short-hour system ____.
A.in order to improve efficiency
B.partly because of the foreign pressure
C.to save some chances for others
D.to reduce the burden of some industrialists
【5】The passage mainly discusses ______.
A.a new policy threatening Japanese tradition
B.the balance between work and play
C.different attitudes towards short working hours
D.generation gap
24、G-7 LEADERS READY TO HELP BATTLE AMAZON WILDFIRES
WITH“TECHNICAL AND FINANCIAL MEANS”
French President Emmanuel Macron announced this afternoon that the G-7 leaders had reached an agreement on how to help fight the record number of forest fires currently raging in the Amazon.
“There is real convergence(趋同性) to say we all agree to help the countries harmed by these fires as quickly as possible,” the host of the G-7 summit told reporters in French from the conference venue in Biarritz. He went on, listing all of the contacts being made, “With all the countries of the Amazon… so that we can finalize very concrete technical and financial commitments.”
On Friday, Macron threatened to block an important EU trade deal with Brazil and other South American countries, claiming that Brazil’s president Jair Bolsonaro had lied about his position on climate change.
Hours before the beginning of the annual meeting of word leaders on Friday, Macron released a video outlining his plan to mobilize all of the powers gathered in Biarritz to partner with Amazon countries “to invest first in fighting the fires and helping Brazil and the other impacted countries and then to invest in reforestation everywhere.”
Macron emphasized France’s stake in the fires, referencing French Guiana, a former prison colony and current overseas department of France located on the northeastern edge of the Amazon rainforest. Bolsonaro shot back, accusing Macron of having an “unacceptable” and “colonialist” mindset.
Over 75,000 fires have been recorded in the Amazon rainforest so far this year, more than double the 40,000 blazes recorded there in all of 2018, according to Brazil’s National Institute for Space Research. The fires can be caused by natural phenomena, like lightning strikes, but are often intentionally set by loggers and ranchers clearing land for cattle grazing of farming. Bolsonaro, a climate change skeptic, has encouraged farmers to exploit the land and weakened government agencies tasked with enforcing environmental regulations, NPR reported.
Smoke from the blazes has reached as far east as the Atlantic coast and blocked out the sun as far away as Saō Paulo, more than 2,000 miles to the south. Meanwhile NASA is tracking a carbon monoxide plume stretching across Brazil into the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.
