21、 The cub(幼兽)learned quickly. If he met mother hen he would become angry, remembering the pecks on his nose from his first day out of a cave.
Famine came again and for a while, neither mother or cub had anything to eat. Then one day, She-wolf brought home some meat! It was strange stuff, different from anything the cub had smelled or tasted before. And it was for him! Little could he know that his mother had taken the left fork by the stream, by the lair of the lynx(山猫巢穴), and stolen kitten. As he finished his meal, he heard his mother snarling(咆哮)in strange and terrible way. He shivered with fear.
The lynx was mad with anger at the loss of her child and she had tracked She-wolf to her cave.
In the glare of the afternoon light, the lynx crouched at the cave entrance. A coarse scream left no doubt what she meant to do. The cub and his mother were trapped!
The lynx threw herself inside the cave, and She-wolf leaped upon her.
Snarling and howling, the two mothers fought like crazy, the lynx pulling and tearing with her teeth and claws, She-wolf using her teeth alone.
Seeing his mother in such danger, the cub sank his teeth into the wild cat’s leg. Although he didn’t know it, this is probably what saved their lives. The lynx beat at the cub, tearing his shoulder, but he had slowed her down. After a brief, cruel fight, She-wolf put an end to her once and for all.
They had won, but at a price.
The cub licked his mother’s wounds. He knew she was weak and sick. For a week she never left the cave.
Then at last, her strength returned and she was ready to hunt again. This time, the cub went with her. She-wolf noticed a change in her child. He had complete faith in himself from their victory over the lynx. They had fought a wild cat and lived!
The cub now knew another law of the wild-eat or to be eaten: kill or to be killed.
【1】What can be inferred about the cub from Paragraph 1 and 2?
A.A mother hen once attacked him.
B.He shared the meat with She-wolf.
C.The cub didn’t like the strange meat.
D.He could obtain meat secretly.
【2】Which of the following can replace the underlined word “crouched” in Paragraph 4?
A.Fought. B.Tracked. C.Hid. D.Trapped.
【3】What mostly helped She-wolf and the cub win the fight against the lynx?
A.The lynx fighting with her teeth and claws.
B.The cub biting into the leg of the lynx.
C.The three being wounded seriously.
D.She-wolf using her sharp teeth.
【4】What did the cub get from the victory?
A.Carefulness. B.Strength. C.Friendship. D.Confidence.
22、Livestock(牲畜)cloning is the practice of cloning sheep, cattle and other livestock species as a way to improve efficiency. The basic idea behind livestock cloning is to clone animals that have certain qualities, such as cows that produce more milk or meat. 【1】
However, this practice is very controversial, and livestock farmers have been hesitant to adopt it fully because of public opposition and certain inefficiencies.
In technical terms, livestock are cloned by taking cells from one animal and using them to fertilize(使受精)eggs. Scientists take the fertilized eggs and put them in female animals. 【2】 Many animals are born with abnormal shapes. Scientists are looking for ways to improve the process and make it less expensive to adopt on a wider scale.
【3】 For example, if farmers were able to take only their very best animals and recreate them many times, they could potentially be more productive.
There are also some potential problems with cloned livestock. 【4】 For example, when a disease hits, there are usually individuals that cannot be harmed by the disease or are more resistant, and they will generally survive. If all the animals were genetically(在基因方面)similar, this sort of disease could totally destroy an entire generation of livestock.
In addition to concerns about genetic diversity, there are other concerns about cloning. 【5】 There are also some people who worry that livestock cloning research may be a gateway to introducing human cloning, which is widely disapproved of.
A.Are the surviving clones really clones?
B.Therefore, the new species are expected to be better.
C.The biggest one arises from a reduction in genetic diversity.
D.Cloned livestock have the potential to provide some major benefits.
E.Cloning animals shows us what might happen if we try to clone humans.
F.These concerns sometimes come from worries over unforeseen consequences.
G.This process doesn’t always work perfectly, and it can be relatively expensive.
23、What would the world be like if cars could drive themselves? Imagine seeing an empty car passing by on its way to pick up its owner, or a car full of passengers who are reading, listening to music or even sleeping, but none of them is worried about the road ahead.
Well, all of this could be the future of driving. There are several companies, including Google, working on driver-less cars. So far, no Google self-driven car has gotten a traffic ticket, but some of them have been in accidents when other cars hit them.
These cars are now still in the testing stages. But, if the tests are successful, these electric self-driven cars could be put into use very soon.
The cars already have many features allowing them to take the place of drivers during certain situations. Some features include cars being able to park themselves, or slow down when they notice objects close by. They can also control the speed if there are dangerous conditions. Scientists and engineers believe, with the help of wireless signals, cameras and GPS, we are now at a stage where creating a safe self-driven car might be possible.
The cause of deadly road accidents is usually careless drivers or dangerous conditions. The self-driven car may be able to prevent these. However, some people don't like the idea. American lawyer White Drake, for example, does not believe these cars are safe. He thinks technologies can also make mistakes.
【1】The main purpose of the first paragraph is to ________.
A.make readers wonder about self-driven cars
B.get readers to pay attention to road safety
C.tell readers to keep away from heavy traffic
D.tell readers what self-driven cars are
【2】From the passage, the self-driven cars already have the following features EXCEPT________.
A.parking itself
B.controlling its speed in dangerous situations
C.slowing itself down near an object
D.avoiding car accidents one hundred percent
【3】What might make the self-driven cars run safely according to the passage?
a. e-reading b. wireless signals c. cameras d. GPS
A.a,b,c
B.a,b,d
C.b,c,d
D.a,c,d
【4】What is White Drake's attitude toward the safety of the self-driven cars?
A.He has doubt about it.
B.He believes it completely.
C.He doesn't care about it.
D.He thinks its technologies are convincing.
24、Weeds (野草) compete for soil nutrients, water, space, and sunlight with the crops farmers grow to help feed people. Now a third-generation weeding robot, armed with lasers (激光) and powered by AI, offers a labor-saving (节省劳力的) device — while also avoiding the need for chemical herbicides (除草剂) .
The Autonomous Weeder by Carbon Robotics can clear 100,000 weeds per hour, and clear 15-20 acres in a single day — numbers that require a person working an entire season to match.
Moving along a row of crops, a battery of twelve cameras scans the ground, identifying weeds through machine-learning and killing them with a CO2 laser. The robot's onboard supercomputer ensures high accuracy with its laser so as to avoid accidentally cutting crops.
“This is one of the most innovative and valuable technologies that I've seen as a farmer,” said James Johnson of Carzalia Farm in a statement, who has used Carbon Robotics' technology on his farm. “I expect the robots to go mainstream because of how effectively they address some of farming's most critical issues, including the overuse of chemicals, process efficiency, and labor. The sky's the limit.”
If a farmer wants to avoid using chemical herbicides, which have flooded nearly every corner of our food and water supply chains with a probable carcinogen (致癌物) , they must find enough unskilled workers to pull weeds manually — a difficult task in the already short market of agricultural labor.
Since it can solve both problems, it's no surprise that the 2021 model of the Autonomous Weeder has already sold out, even considering it is priced at hundreds of “thousands of dollars.”
To make the device more accessible, rent options are available from the company, as they have already made the 2022 models available for preorder.
The weeding method of the robot is organic and in line with sustainable farming practices. Cost-effective weed control is the biggest difficulty of organic farming, and agriculturalists looking to make the change finally have an option to help them get their vegetables out to people.
【1】What can be learned about the third-generation weeding robot?
A.It is CO2-driven.
B.It damages crops by accident.
C.It functions with the help of lasers.
D.It is used to pour chemical herbicides.
【2】What is James Johnson's attitude to the weeding robot?
A.Favorable.
B.Curious.
C.Doubtful.
D.Critical.
【3】Why is the 2021 model of the weeding robot so popular?
A.It can work in different fields.
B.It can increase food production.
C.It is priced low and easy to operate.
D.It is labor saving and protects human health.
【4】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.Organic vegetables enjoy a wide market.
B.The new weeding method is accessible to farmers.
C.The weeding robot helps realize organic farming.
D.Cost control is the biggest problem of organic farming.

26、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My Grandmother is 87 years old. She loves gardening, and she has got a habit of not sitting still as she loves to do some work all the time. In June, while working in the garden outside our home, she slipped (滑倒) and one of her bones was broken.
My father and I took her to the hospital. After examining her, the doctor said that the bone was broken from the joint and that there was no chance that she would ever walk, even after an operation. That was very sad for all of us. I looked into my grandmother’s face. She was looking at me as if I could do something to treat her. We asked the doctor if she could sit, and the doctor said “Yes but only after an operation”.
She got operated on the next day. The operation was successful. The doctor didn’t believe that she would be able to walk on her own. For the next month, she did everything in bed only. All of us tried our best to take care of her. I remember those nights when she used to cry in great pain and we could only give her comfort. Once she said while crying, “I don’t want to live anymore, nothing is left now.” I got so sad listening to that but I told her one thing. I said, “Ma, maybe you have got a broken bone, but all the other parts of your body are working properly. It is OK if you can’t walk, but if you can sit, that would be excellent for us.”
