22、 Passenger pigeons were the most common birds in all of North America in the 1800s. It was common to see large groups of passenger pigeons — group that made a sound like a storm.
But today, they are extinct because of human behavior. Now, some scientists want to bring passenger pigeons back to life by using new technology and scientific ideas. They call this process de-extinction
De-extinction has not happened yet. It is still just an idea. The process of de-extinction is not easy. First, scientists must collect DNA from the bodies of extinct animals. Then they will put it in the eggs of similar animals species. When these animals become adults, they will have babies. And these baby animals will have the DNA of the extinct animals.
Scientists believe it is possible to bring back passenger pigeons and many other animals. However, not everyone think this is a good idea.
Stewart Primm is the world’s leading expert on modern animal extinction. He believes that bringing extinct animals back to life is bad for the earth. On the one hand, these animals no longer have a safe place to live. On the other hand, they could cause other animals to die.
Many other scientists do not agree with Stewart Primm. Stuart Brand, a writer and scientist, is one of them. He believes de-extinction is good for many reasons.
“The current generation of children will experience the return of some unusual animals in their lifetime. It may be part of what defines their generation and their attitude to the natural world. They will take their parents to zoos to see the growing populations of passenger pigeons, and maybe even dodo birds. This will provide a good deal of money for zoos busy with extinct species restoration (恢复). Humans killed off a lot of species over the last 10,000 years. So, it’s right to bring some back to life,” he said.
【1】What can we know about the passenger pigeons from the text?
A.They were common sightings.
B.They suffered a lot from storms.
C.They lived mainly in North America.
D.They were the largest in American history.
【2】What do we know about de-extinction?
A.It will change the DNA of the extinct animals.
B.It was first used in passenger pigeons.
C.It is difficult to carry out.
D.It proved to be useful.
【3】Why is Stuart Primm against bringing back extinct animals?
A.They will die very soon.
B.They will create other problems.
C.They will do great harm to humans.
D.They will replace the similar species.
【4】How does Stuart Brand feel about de-extinction?
A.Wrong B.Difficult
C.Important D.Wasteful
【5】Where is the text most probably from?
A.A research paper.
B.A scientific magazine.
C.A travel guidebook.
D.A geography textbook.
23、阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
John Nash,a Nobel Prize winner and a mathematical genius whose struggle with mental illness was documented in the Oscar-winning film A Beautiful Mind,was killed in a car accident on May 24th, 2015.
Born in West Virginia, Nash displayed a keenness for mathematics early in life,independently proving Femret's little theorem(定理)before graduating from high school. By the time he turned 30 in 1958,he was an unquestionable academic celebrity. At Princeton, Nash published a 27-page thesis that led to applications to economics,international politics, and evolutionary biology
His signature solution-known as a "Nash Equilibrium(纳什均衡)”-found that competition among two opponents,not necessarily governed by zero-sum logic. Two opponents can, for instance,each achieve their maximum objectives through cooperating with the other, or gain nothing at all by refusing to cooperate. It is now regarded as one of the most important social science ideas in the 20th century.
In the late 1950s, Nash began a slide into mental illness. By the time Nash was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1994, he hadn't published a paper in 36 years. But like a child cured of a nightmare by the switch of a light, Nash recovered from his illness seemingly by choosing not to be sick anymore. He continued to work, travel,and speak at conferences for the rest of his life.
In 2001,the release of the film A Beautiful Mind,based an Sylvia Nasar’s 1998 book of the same name,introduced Nash's unusual life story to an international audience
【1】John Nash passed away because of__________
A. a mental illness B. overwork
C. a traffic accident D. starvation
【2】According to“Nash Equilibrium",what will happen if two opponents refuse to cooperate?
A. They will get nothing at all.
B.They will get what they really want

【3】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. John Nash's Sudden Death
B. John Nash's Extraordinary life
C. John Nash's Equilibrium
D. John Nash's Mental illness.
