21、 Scientists say they have found out a chemical produced by locusts（蝗虫）that causes the insects to join together in huge swarms（群）.
On their own, locusts are mostly harmless. But in large swarms, they can be extremely destructive. The new finding could lead to new methods to prevent locusts from joining swarms to destroy huge areas of crops.
A recent study published in Nature identifies a pheromone believed to be responsible for the insect’s swarming behavior. A pheromone is a chemical item produced by an animal that influences the behavior of another animal of the same kind.
The pheromone, known as 4VA, was found in the world’s most widespread kind of locust, the migratory locust. It powerfully drew locusts of both sexes and all ages, the research found. And it was produced when as few as four to five locusts came together.
Lead researcher Le Kang is with the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Zoology. He told Reuters news agency that migratory locusts are so widespread and dangerous, they represent"a serious threat to agriculture worldwide. " Kang said further research will be needed to find out if 4VA exists in other species, such as the desert locust.
Kang said a chemical could be developed to block 4VA’s effects to prevent swarming. A man-made version of the pheromone might also be developed to attract locusts into traps to be killed. Locusts could also be developed with genetic changes that would not react to 4VA, Kang added. Such locusts could be sent to the wild to build wild non-swarming populations.
Leslie Vosshall, head of Rockefeller University’s Laboratory of Neurogenetics and Behavior in New York, said one of the most exciting developments would be finding a chemical that could block the reception of 4VA. She noted that there are still several unknowns about the research. These include whether 4VA is the only cause of swarm formation, and whether other locust species respond similarly to the chemical.
【1】What is the new finding of the study?
A.New methods could be used to stop locusts.
B.Locusts do not cause much damage on their own.
C.A large number of locusts can destroy the crops terribly.
D.Locusts swarm because of a chemical produced by themselves.
【2】What can we learn about the pheromone?
A.It only exists in the migratory locust. B.It is made at least in groups of forty.
C.It is to blame for the locust’s swarming. D.It affects the behavior of other animals.
【3】What is Leslie’s attitude toward the prevention of the locust’s swarming?
A.Pessimistic. B.Optimistic. C.Subjective. D.Objective.
【4】Which can be a suitable title of this passage?
A.Can we kill locusts? B.How do locusts destroy crops?
C.How do locusts get swarmed? D.Can we control the locust’s damaging?
22、When everything is going wrong, there's nothing like listening to a few bars of your favorite sad song. But why do we find pleasure in sad music? This puzzled two researchers at the Freie Universität Berlin in Germany who set out to explore our strong feeling for sad songs in a world where entire industries exist to help us remove sadness from our lives.
Their study — based on a survey of more than 770 people around the world and published this month in the journal, PLOS ONE — discovered sad music can create positive emotions, like peacefulness and kindness, and that choosing the tearful ballad on your music player offers three benefits.
The biggest turned out to be that sad songs allow you to feel sadness without any of its “real-life contexts.” In other words, you can safely explore what it's like to be a little blue without experiencing the great pain of losing a loved one, for example.
“Emotion control” was another important benefit. Many of those surveyed said that when they were in a bad mood (情绪), experiencing sadness through music made them feel better afterwards and provided an emotional improvement. That may be because the songs help them to express and let go of their emotions, researchers noted. “Sad music promotes and creates a space for reflection and reexamination of personal experiences, thoughts and feelings,” one of the researchers added
The benefit of “empathy” (同理心) made the listener feel good by allowing him to share the sadness of another human being through the song. When we're having social problems, like when we're feeling lonely, homesick or missing someone, the sad songs can offer comfort by showing someone else shares our state of mind, the study found.
So it turns out that Elton John was right: Sad songs do say so much.
【1】What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A．When things go wrong.
B．What to explore in sad songs.
C．Why sad music brings us joy.
D．How to remove sadness from life.
【2】Which of the following best describes the findings of the study?
A．Benefits of sad music.
B．Strong feelings in sad music.
C．Real-life contexts of sad music.
D．Empathetic comforts from sad music.
【3】How does sad music achieve "Emotion control"?
A．By freeing us from bad moods.
B．By bringing great pain to us.
C．By helping us reflect on exams.
D．By providing a space for us.
【4】Why is Elton John mentioned at the end of the passage?
A．To prove Elton John was right.
B．To show Elton John wrote songs.
C．To make the readers think deeply.
D．To stress the point of the passage.
23、You might think of martial arts movies when you see people performing graceful moves down the river, all standing on a bamboo strip, but actually it is a form of intangible cultural heritage: bamboo drifting.
Over 2,000 years ago, the high-quality wood, nanmu, in Guizhou was in great demand by the royal court more than 2,000 kilometers to the north. With no better transportation, people had to stand on one log to drift down the river. Later, local people began to compete along the way and the game of wood drifting was born. In the Qing Dynasty, wood drifting became bamboo drifting because of bamboo’s lower price. Due to the skills it takes for one to master this act, bamboo drifting was included in the national intangible cultural heritage list this year.
Yang Liu, a 24-year-old inheritor of bamboo drifting, learned it at 7. “Usually, the bamboo under your feet is about 9 meters long, and the bamboo in your hands is about 5 meters. If the length or diameter of the bamboo is not long enough, it will not float. Keeping our feet firmly positioned on the narrow bamboo pole is the key, so we should fight against the current by constantly changing the angle. I lost my balance and fell in the water many times while practicing. Once I fell, I gave it another try until I knew how to handle the most difficult part.” she said.
The love for the ancient skill keeps Yang going. In the past 17 years, she has drifted all year round, in winter cold and summer heat. As hanfu culture has been on the rise, Yang started wearing hanfu while performing, creating a more beautiful feel. In 2020, Yang began to post her videos on social media. “I'm extremely proud to get responses from viewers that bamboo drifting makes the line between what is possible and impossible unclear. It’s my mission to keep it alive and known to more people,” Yang Liu told China Daily.

24、In June, more than 3,300 people in Britain began an exciting experiment: Their employers had signed up to pilot a four-day workweek in what is currently the world’s biggest trial of this shorter working schedule. Seventy-three British companies have reduced their employees’ working hours by 20 percent for six months while still giving them their full pay.
Similar pilot programs are also underway in Australia, Iceland, and Spain. One study found that more than 8 million US workers switched to a four-day schedule between 1973 and 2018.
So far, the evidence that’s rolling in points in a clear direction: A shorter week allows workers to better take care of themselves without sacrificing productivity.
Halfway through the six-month trial, all but two of the 41 British companies that responded to a survey said that productivity either stayed the same or improved, and six said that productivity significantly improved. Those findings are consistent with others. In Iceland, where more than 1 percent of the workforce saw their hours reduced to 36 per week or less, productivity stayed constant or improved.
The effects on employees’well-being are even more surprising. In Britain, workers putting in 32 hours a week have been getting an average of 7.58 hours of sleep a night, nearly a full hour more than those working 40 hours.
Working fewer hours is proving to have other benefits for people’s bodies and minds. In Iceland, employees reported less stress and burnout and better health and work/life balance. They spent more time exercising, taking care of household chores, engaging in hobbies,and spending time with family and friends.
As one participant put it, reducing hours “shows increased respect for the individual. We are not just machines that just work…We are persons with desires and private lives, families and hobbies.” In a Gallup survey of US workers, people who worked four days a week had higher levels of well-being and lower rates of stress than those who worked five or six.
【1】What is the experiment about in Britain?
A．Improving working efficiency.
B．Trying out a four-day workweek.
C．Reducing the daily working time.
D．Promoting the employees’pay.
【2】What tendency has the experiment shown by now?
A．All companies have improved their productivity greatly.
B．Employees have more time to learn from each other.
C．Only 1/7 companies can improve their productivity.
D．Reducing working hours doesn’t decrease productivity.
【3】What can be inferred about the experiment of reducing weekly working hours?
A．It is a short-sighted decision.
B．It benefits only employers.
C．It is popular among workers.
D．It upsets employees.
【4】What is probably the best title for the text?
A．A Four-Day Workweek Pays Off
B．Working Fewer Hours Daily Benefits People
C．Respect for the Individual Brings Profit
D．The Experiment of Shorter Work Time Is Exciting
