21、New research on ants has firstly shown that insects have the ability to shrink and then regrow their brains. It relates to how these particular ants, called the Indian jumping ant, reproduce.
“In most ant colonies (种群), the queen is the only member of the colony that lays eggs. When she dies, the colony dies. The workers just do the hunting and take care of the babies and the chores.” says Clint Penick, a professor of biology at Kennesaw State University in Georgia. But this is not true for Indian jumping ants. Their worker ants have the ability to mate and reproduce. So when the queen dies, a dominance tournament starts. They’ll fight each other over a month to decide who’s going to be the next queen.
The queen doesn’t have an exact replacement. Tournament winners — called “gamergates” — all assume queen-like duties of laying eggs. The study found that when the ants take on the role of gamergates, their brains reduce its size by 19% on average, so that they can save energy to focus on producing eggs. The fact that the ants’ brains shrink to reproduce wasn’t new. But what scientists didn’t know was whether they had the ability to regrow.
Penick’s team separated gamergates from their colonies for a few weeks. The thinking was that the lack of social interaction and care would make them return to their previous status. It worked. After several weeks, the ex-gamergates were back to being low-class workers — with their bigger brains regrown. “We are now starting to find that there are animal species that are capable of shrinking their brains and then regrowing them, even humans to some degree.” Penick says.
There are still potential suggestions for humans. According to Penick, the brains are more flexible in size than we knew. The brains of ants have some shared features with humans. So now scientists are looking at digging into the genetic and other neural mechanisms (神经机制) supporting these brain changes.
【1】What is special about the Indian jumping ant colony?
A.The worker ants fight with the queen.

【3】The underlined “it” in the passage may refer to ___________.
A.shortage of socialization

C.a return to previous status

【4】Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A.The Special Queens of the Ant Colony

22、How coming to China has changed my life and career
Hello, everyone. My name is Jonathan Lopez, and I am a dual(双重的) citizen from Colombia and Canada. 【1】, and how it has a potential to also change yours, if you allow it to have the opportunity to welcome you to China.
When I was 18 years old, I had the opportunity to leave Columbia for the first time to go to see my father in Canada. I studied in a university in Canada, during which I had a chance to go study abroad in universities in Netherlands and Australia, travelling to many countries. 【2】, because I got a scholarship to study at Tsinghua University as a choice for scholar.
When it came to China, I had so many ideas about what China was supposed to be about. The surprise is that it was nothing like I imagined in a more positive way than expected. When I come here, 【3】. All the development and how fast things move in China really allow me to quickly realize that this is the place where I needed to continue growing in my career professionally.
【4】. After I graduated from Tsinghua university, I got a job at Bytedance Internet Company first, and currently for Tiktok. But the most important thing is that I can be able to become an ambassador, and share my story about how being in China—my another home—impacted me and change my life so much.
It's been only three years in China and it's just the beginning. There is so much more that I can continue to learn in this place, and it's just an open invitation for people that are thinking to study abroad, work abroad or do things anywhere in the world, to also consider China. Hence, this is a place to be, and this is a place where you can learn and grow a lot. 【5】.
A.So I decided to stay
B.And then I was ready to come to China
C.Today I want to share why coming to China changed my life
D.And this is something that really can change your life as well
E.mobile payment was one of the things that struck me the most
F.By the time I graduated from university I had already traveled to 61 countries
G.I realize all the potential that this place has and all the things that I could learn about China
23、Two of the saddest words in the English language are if only. I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they convey regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment.
My father is famous in our family for saying, “Take the extra minute to do it right.” I always try to live by the “extra minute” rule. When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an “if only” moment, whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding (衬垫) onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee table.
I don’t only avoid those “if only” moments when it comes to safety. It’s equally important to avoid “if only” in our personal relationships. We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had foregone an opportunity to say “I love you” or “I forgive you.” When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday, I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldn’t be here. But then I thought about the fact that he’s 84 years old and I realized that I shouldn’t give up an opportunity to see him. I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all.
I know there will still be occasions when I have to say if only about something, but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality. And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know that I’m doing the right thing. I’m buying myself peace of mind and that’s the best kind of insurance for my emotional well-being.
【1】【1】Which of the following is an example of the extra minute rule?
A. Start the car the moment everyone is seated.
B. Leave the room for a minute with the iron working.
C. Wait for an extra minute so that the steak tastes better.
D. Move an object out of the way before it trips someone.
【2】【2】The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to ______.
A. keep her appointment with the eye doctor
B. meet her father who was already an old man
C. join in the holiday celebration of the company
D. finish her work before the deadline approached
【3】【3】The underlined word foregone in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______.
A. abandoned B. lacked
C. avoided D. took
【4】【4】What is the best title for the passage?
A. The Emotional Well-being B. The Two Saddest Words
C. The Most Useful Rule D. The Peace of Mind
