21、Owls(猫头鹰)can be found in many parts of the world. And today, one kind of owl, the barred owl, is causing a problem in forests of the northwestern United States. Barred owls are a large species native to eastern North America, but they began moving west at the start of the 20th century. In parts of the Pacific Northwest, barred owls are now causing a drop in the population of a kind of smaller and less aggressive(侵略性的) bird: the northern spotted owls. The U.S. Geological Survey is doing something unusual to protect spotted owls: killing barred owls. As a member of the department, David Wiens has mixed feelings about the program. “It’s a little unpleasant, I think, to go out killing owls,” he says. “But we knew that barred owls were really stronger than spotted owls and their numbers were growing too fast, so it makes sense to do that.”
It is a controversial( 有争议的) program. “A decision not to kill the barred owl is a decision to make the spotted owl disappear,” says Bob Sallinger, a director at the nonprofit Audubon Society in Portland, Oregon. However, Marc Bekoff, a professor of ecology(生态学 ) and biology at the University of Colorado, Boulder, strongly disagrees with the experiment and says humans should find another way to help spotted owls.
If reducing the barred owl population improves the number of spotted owls, the U.S. Geological Survey may consider killing more barred owls as part of a longer-term effort. Enough success has been noted for the experiment to be extended to August of 2021.
【1】Why are barred owls being killed ?
A．They are breaking the laws of nature.
B．They are killing each other to survive.
C．They are destroying large areas of forests.
D．They are putting the spotted owls in danger.
【2】What is Wiens’ attitude towards the program?
A．Doubtful.
B．Uncaring.
C．Supportive.
D．Negative.
【3】Which is the best title for the text?
A．New Ways to Help Forests
B．How to Keep Ecological Balance
C．Killing One Species to Save Another
D．Time to Protect Animals
22、At 5:13 on the morning of April 18th 1906, the city of San Francisco was shaken by a terrible earthquake. A great part of the city was destroyed and a large number of buildings were burnt. The number of people who lost homes reached as many as 250, 000. About 700 people died in the earthquake and the fires.
Another earthquake shook San Francisco on October 17th, 1989. It was America’s second strongest earthquake and about 100 people were killed. It happened in the evening as people were travelling home. A wide and busy road which was built like a bridge over another road fell onto the one below. Many people were killed in their cars, but a few lucky ones were not hurt.
Luckily the 1989 earthquake did not happen in the centre of town but about 50 kilometres away. In one part of the town a great many buildings were destroyed. These buildings were over 50 years old, so they were not strong enough. There were a lot of fires all over the city. The electricity was cut off for several days too.
Why do earthquakes happen? Scientists explain that the outside of the earth is made of a number of different plates. At San Francisco the Pacific plate which is moving towards the northwest meets the North American plate. The Pacific plate is moving very slowly—at 5.3 centimetres a year. Sometimes these two plates stop and do not move for years. Then suddenly, they jump and an earthquake is felt. As a result of the movement of these plates, west America near the sea has always been a bad place for earthquakes. When the 1906 earthquake happened, the Pacific plate jumped 5-6 metres to the north.
Scientists are afraid that one day an even bigger earthquake will hit the area around San Francisco. They call it “The Big One”. However, people today are still building more houses. The population in and around San Francisco is now ten times more than it was in 1906. This means that if there is another big earthquake, a great many houses and buildings will be destroyed.
【1】Fewer people were killed in the 1989 San Francisco earthquake because the earthquake happened_______.
A．in the centre of the city
B．in the daytime
C．outside the city
D．in the evening
【2】Which might be the worst earthquake in the history of the USA according to the passage?
A．The 1906 earthquake.
B．The 1976 earthquake.
C．The 1989 earthquake.
D．Both A and C.
【3】Why do earthquake happen?
A．Because the surface of the earth is too thin.
B．Because some plates of the earth move suddenly.
C．Because the houses built on the earth are not strong.
D．Because the plates are moving slowly.
【4】What should we do about the earthquake?
A．We should learn how to predict earthquakes and stop them.
B．We should stop building new houses.
C．We should build strong buildings in the right places.
D．We should try our best to stop earthquakes.
【5】What does the underlined word “one” in the second paragraph refer to?
A．Bridge.
B．Road.
C．Car.
D．Street.

24、With the new semester about to start, our school is welcoming a group of new international students. We have some apps here with an English version that will make your life easier. We hope you will have a wonderful life here.

WeChat is also widely used now as a form of payment which can be used in stores, online, and in other shopping apps.
