21、What do the following animals have in common? Pandas, rhinoceros, Mexican burrowing snakes, pink pigeons and small tooth sawfish.
They are all endangered animals! Animals become endangered for a variety of reasons. Sadly, humans are behind every one of them!
For centuries, humans have hunted elephants for their tusks, and killed tigers for their beautiful fur, caught fish for food. While we still have elephants, tigers, and fish in the wild, we cannot say the same about many others that have simply died out!
Year 1505 was a dreadful turning point in the natural history of the island of Mauritius—European sailors discovered this beautiful island in the Indian Ocean and brought dogs, pigs, monkeys with them. The arrival of humans and those introduced animal species were bad news for dodo birds. About 50 pounds and flightless, dodo birds did not have any natural enemies until then. They picked fruit fallen from trees and built their nests on the ground. Shortly after humans set foot on Mauritius, however, dodo birds realized that they were in big trouble—men killed them for their meat, and those introduced animal species destroyed their nests and ate their eggs. The effects of excessive hunting and foreign species drove dodo birds to first become much fewer and then die out. The last dodo bird was killed in 1681.
Humans and animals have always competed for land and other natural resources. We clear an area of a forest for farming. We cut down trees and use wood to build beautiful houses. We build reservoirs to make sure that we have enough water to use. At the same time that we are trying to make our life comfortable, we destroy the habitats of wild animals.
More than once we have seen on television that rescue workers are trying their best to save seabirds in spilled oil. More than once we have heard about how emissions of carbon dioxide(二氧化碳的排放) and other gases have raised the earth's temperature and caused global warming. Pollution has a serious and long lasting effect. If we choose to do nothing and continue to pollute our planet Earth, our next generations will have to face an Earth without birds singing and beasts roaring.
【1】Which of the following are NOT endangered animals?
A．Pandas.
B．Rhinoceros.
C．Pink pigeons.
D．Dodo birds.
【2】What does the underlined word “dreadful” (in Paragraph 4) mean?

B．Exciting.
C．Awful.
D．Quick.
【3】Paragraph 5 mainly talks about _______.
A．how excessive hunting led to endangerment of animals
B．when foreign species entered the island of Mauritius
C．the human activities caused the loss of habitats of animals
D．pollution played a main role in the worsening of the environment
【4】What is the best title for the passage?
A．What makes the animals in danger
B．How to save the endangered animals
C．Pollution and animals
D．Don't hunt for animals
22、The days of having to carry a phone charger everywhere could soon be over. Michigan researchers have revealed a major breakthrough in harvesting energy from human motion.
They say it could lead to smartphones powered for a week by the motion of a swipe (重击).
Michig an State Univ ersity’s low -cost devic e, known as a nanogenerator, has already been tested. Scientists success fully operated an LCD touch screen, a bank of 20 LED lights and a flexib le keyboard, all with a simple touching or pressing motion and without the aid of a battery. The groundbreaking findings, published in the journal Nano Energy, suggest “We’re on the path tow ard wearable devices powered by human motion,” said Nelson Sepulv eda, associate professor of electrical and computer engineering and lead researcher of the project.
“What I foresee, relatively soon, is the capability of not having to charge your cell phone for an entire week, for example, because that energy will be produced by your movement,” said Sepulveda, whose researchis funded by the National Science Foundation.
Electrical energy is created when the device is compressed by human motion. The completed device is as thin as a sheet of paper. The device used to power the LED lights was palm-sized, w hile the device used to power the touch screen was as small as a finger. Advantag es such as being lightweight, flexib le and low -cost could make it a promis ing and alternative method in the field of Mechanical-energy harvesting.
The device also becomes more powerful when folded. Sepulveda said, “You can start with a large device, but when you fold it once, and again, and again, it’s much smaller and has more energy. Now it may be small enough to put in a specially made heel of your shoe so it creates power each time your heel strikes the ground.”
Sepulveda and his team are also develop ing technology that w ould transmit the power generated by the heel strike to, say, a w irelessheadset.
【1】The underlined word “device” in the second paragraph probably refers to .
A. a piece of equipment B. a special kind of smartphone
C. a touch screen D. a flexible keyboard
【2】What can we learn about Nelson Sepulveda in the passage?
A. He works as a journalist writing for Nano Energy.
B. He plays a major role in the project of the nanogenerator.
C. He invented a type of battery-free smartphone.
D. He collects funds for the National Science Foundation.
【3】From the passage we know that the nanogenerator .
A. becomes more powerful when kept flat
B. has already come into market in the USA
C. is lightweight and flexible though expensive
D. makes it possible to produce power by walking
【4】The purpose of the passage is to .
A. persuade people to buy the device
B. bring in a new way to save energy
C. introduce a breakthrough in science
D. honor Nelson Sepulveda for his contributions
23、Every girl dreams and Li Xie is no exception. She has read dozens of books on how to be a ballerina. Lake is her favorite. She hopes one day her dream will come true. She has taken ballet lessons and all her teachers confirm she is a good student.
One day she saw an advertisement that a famous ballerina troupe(演出团) will be performing in her hometown. Her thoughts ran wild, “I must meet up with the leader of the troupe and show him my skills.” she murmured to herself.
She dressed herself in her ballerina costume and managed to avoid the guards and hid in the dressing room. To her luck，the leader entered and she timidly knocked at the door. She bravely approached him and handed him a bunch of red roses and in her excitement the thorns(刺) pricked her hand but she did not make any complaints about the pain. The leader observed her action as she told him her dream. “Alright, you dance and I will give you my verdict(评审意见).” But half way through the dance he stopped her and said, “I’m sorry you’re not good enough!” On hearing this, Li Xie ran as fast as her legs could carry her and was ashamed. She gave up her dream.
Many years later, she heard that the same ballet troupe was performing in her town again. Bitter memories of the leader’s unpleasant words came flooding back to her. This time she was determined to find out why the leader had told her she was not good enough when all her teachers thought otherwise.
This was his reply, “I tell this to every student.” She angrily talked back, “You’ve ruined my life!” Then she got a further shock, “I remember your gift of roses and how the thorns had pricked your fingers but you carried on bravely. If you only had treated ballet like that and did not give up so easily; therefore, you still deserve my verdict!”

24、These are the 4 best foods for your brain
1.Blueberries
Add a few handfuls of berries to a salad or your breakfast for big brain boost. Recent research found that as little as 2.5 cups of the flavonoid-rich berries per day months tamped down inflammation and significantly improved the speed that the brain could process information. It’s essential to eat blueberries daily to get the benefits. Blueberries improve brain tissue by depressing inflammation and not allowing oxidative stress to impair brain functioning, “It has to be a regular input of flavonoids,” says Mary Ann Lila, director of the Plants for Humant North Carolina State University. You have to eat a serving a day; you can’t just load up on weekends.
2.Salmons
Wild-caught salmon and other fatty fish are high in omega -3 fatty acids, which a 2022 study linked to greater brain volumes, improved abstract reasoning and logical thinking; omega-3s also slow cognitive decline and decrease the risk of developing dementia.
Three pieces of sushi contain around three ounces of salmon-a sufficient amount to get those essential fatty acids and boost brain health, according to Nyree Dardarian, professor at Drexel University.
3.Eggs
Whether you prefer them scrambled, poached, or fried, eggs are chock-full of nutrients like choline and lutein that support brain function. Eating one egg per week is associated with slower rates of cognitive decline.
4.Coffee
A morning caffeine jolt can actually provide a brain boost,too. “Coffee isn’t building brain cells but it does seem to help people with neurological diseases, “Lila explains. “Coffee is helping you to be more alert and helping you concentrate.”
Studies show that the popular beverage could help slow cognitive decline and improve planning and decision-making abilities. But drinking too much coffee could have the opposite effect. Drinking more than six cups of coffee per day was linked to a 53% increase in the risk of dementia.
【1】Which food can be helpful to the brain only when taken every day?
A．Blueberry.
B．Salmon.
C．Eggs.
D．Coffee.
【2】Which food cannot be taken too much?
A．Blueberry.
B．Salmon.
C．Eggs.
D．Coffee.
【3】Which section is this article most probably taken from?
A．Sports.
B．Health.
C．Fashion.
D．News.

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。
I filled my whole childhood with two things. My love for red meat and football. Back then, my room walls were full of posters of my favorite player, Webster Slaughter.
One cold winter, I went with my dad to the nearby mall so he could buy a new coat. We didn’t have a lot of money, but my mom convinced my dad to replace his old coat, which had some pretty sizable holes. I was only eleven, but my memory of that day remains vivid. As we approached the mall, a huge figure caught my eyes. The man was wearing a black jacket and sunglasses, but I immediately recognized him. It was Webster Slaughter.
My heart pounding, I could barely contain my excitement. I looked up at my hero, and in a shaky voice said, “You're Webster Slaughter, right?"I excitedly told him that I was his big fan and he was my favorite player. He smiled but began to walk away saying being in a big hurry. Desperately,I yelled to his back for an autograph (亲笔签名),but he kept going.As fast as he had emerged, he was gone.
“Nothing really, he was in a hurry,” Dad comforted me gently. He dug into his pocket, pulled out a bunch of crumpled (皱巴巴的) bills and handed me a few dollars. He told me to go play at the arcade (拱廊) while he picked out a coat.I grabbed the money and wandered off. About half an hour later, my dad came for me and we headed home. Once there he opened the shopping bag in his hand.
He told me that he had a surprise and reached into it. “After you left, guess who I ran in- to?” he said with a smile on his face. I just stared blankly. “Webster Slaughter came into the store and said he saw me with you. He asked where you were and I said you were at the arcade. He said he went back to his car to get this for you, but you were gone.”
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
He pulled his hand out of the bag and in it was a Webster Slaughter’s signed photo.
