22、Journalist John Smith says that so many scientists visit Yellowstone National Park — close to 4 million a year — that it’s stressing the park’s ecosystem. But, he adds, the development of private lands around the park is an even greater threat.
“People come to buy a small farm of 300 acres, and they build a house, get a road and a satellite dish. They turn what was wild landscape into human-occupied landscape,” Smith says. “And that’s problematic for the elk that move through these corridors.
The elk of Yellowstone National Park spend their summer in the high country of Yellowstone, feeding on high grass that remain green through the summer, but in the winter, those high places become very cold, and so the elk move down to lower places in the surrounding land onto national forests and in some cases onto large private ranches.
If those private lands are transformed from open land into small farms, to shopping malls, to roads, to Starbucks, if those places are all settled for the benefit of humans, then the elk are not going to be able to move in and out of Yellowstone National Park any more. And if the elk can’t move into the park, then that creates problems for the wolves and a lot of other creatures. The elk are the most abundant large herbivores in the Yellowstone ecosystem. Those moving routes need to stay open.
Smith notes that Yellowstone National Park is just one part of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, a 22 million-acre area that also includes Grand Teton National Park, a portion of the Wind River Indian Reservation and other private and federally owned lands. Because the animals in Yellowstone need to move outside the park in the winter, the lands in the greater ecosystem play an important role in the park’s continued existence.
“It has been realized in recent decades that Yellowstone National Park is not an island,” Smith says. “It’s part of this larger system, this larger body of wild landscape, and it needs the rest of this wild landscape just as the rest of the wild landscape needs it.”
【1】What is John Smith worried about concerning Yellowstone National Park?
A.There are few corridors in it.
B.It doesn’t get enough visitors.
C.Part of the land in the park is over-developed.
D.The private lands around it are being developed.
【2】What do we know about the elk in Yellowstone National Park in the winter?
A.They stay in the park.
B.They eat high grass.
C.They move to lower places.
D.They leave big private ranches.
【3】What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A.The elk’s natural enemies.
B.The elk’s living environment.
C.How to protect the elk from other animals.
D.Why the moving routes shouldn’t be developed.
【4】What can we know from the last paragraph?
A.The park needs more land.
B.The park is similar to an island.
C.The park depends on the lands around it.
D.The park includes a large wild landscape.
23、Breakfast is food for the brain and for the rest of your body. And downing those morning calories is worth it, even for people worried about their weight, a new study finds.
The study was led by Marlene Schwartz, a psychologists (心理学家) who studies obesity (肥胖). Her group studied some 600 middle-school students. Over three years, students from 12 different schools were asked about their breakfasts. Throughout the study about 34%-44% of all students said that they regularly ate breakfast at home. Up to 17%, or almost one in every six kids, regularly ate breakfast at school. Overall (总的来说), about one in every 10 kids reported eating breakfasts both at home and at school. Eating habits changed somewhat as the kids got older. For example, fifth graders were more likely to regularly eat breakfast at home. But by seventh grade, 22% of the studied kids often skipped breakfast.
Surprisingly, at every age, kids who ate breakfast were less possible to be overweight. This was true even for those who ate breakfast at home and at school. It also found that students who skipped breakfast most often were those most likely to be overweight. These findings may seem puzzling. Yet Schwartz’s team can think of several possible explanations.
Skipping breakfast may set people to be “over-hungry” later in the day, she says. Then someone may eat more food than their body needs. What’s more, not eating regularly in the morning stops our brains and bodies from working properly. It’s very difficult for kids to stay concentrated in class without having breakfast.
But why should eating two breakfasts not lead to weight gain? One explanation may be that school breakfasts are very healthy and controlled in size. Also, most of the double-breakfast eaters are boys. These kids are so active and actively growing up that they need more calories. They often eat twice as much as other people.
【1】The example underlined in the second paragraph is meant to tell us ______.
A.having breakfast is of no use at all
B.skipping breakfast is rather harmful to kids’ health
C.kids will change their eating habits as they grow older
D.it is important to have breakfast regularly

A.The study was carried out among middle-school students.
B.The study was going on for over three years.
C.Skipping breakfast will possibly lead to weight gain.
D.We can never eat too much in the morning.
【3】Based on the passage, what may happen to a boy who eats breakfast regularly?
A.He may put on weight.
B.His brain and body will work well and properly.
C.He will be in perfect health.
D.He will be absent-minded in class.
【4】What can we infer (推断) from the last paragraph?
A.Kids who are growing up more actively need more energy.
B.All the kids should eat more to stay healthy.
C.Eating two breakfasts will lead to weight gain.
D.Schools must provide healthy breakfasts.
24、The British are known for their sense of humor. However, it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their jokes. The main point to remember is that the British often use understatement.
Understatement means saying less than you think or feel. For example, if someone gets very wet in shower of rain, he might say, “It’s a little damp (潮湿的) outside”. Or, if someone is very impolite and shouts at another person, someone else might say, “She isn’t exactly friendly ”. Understatement is often used in unpleasant situation or to make another person look silly. Understatement plays an important part in British humor.
Another key to understanding British humor is that the British like to make fun of themselves as well as others. They often laugh about the silly and unpleasant things that happen to our everyday life. They also like to make jokes about people from different classes of society. What’s more, the British love to watch comedies about people who do not know how to behave in society. The comedy series Mr. Bean is a good example of this kind of humor. Mr. Bean doesn’t talk often. Instead, he uses his body movements and facial expressions to make people laugh. Perhaps what makes Mr. Bean so funny is that he does things that adults in the real world cannot do. Mr. Bean is popular in many countries around the world because you do not have to speak English to understand the humor. Because of this, many people have become familiar with the British sense of humor.
