21、 Taylor Swift won three American Music Awards on Sunday night, including the top "favorite artist" honor-explaining her absence for being busy in the studio re-recording her entire Big Machine album.
The favorite artist award came as a surprise, since Swift's name had not come up as a winner any time earlier in the three hours.
"The reason why I'm not there tonight is that I'm actually recording all of my old music in the studio where we firstly recorded it," Swift told the viewing audience. "So it's been amazing and I can't wait for you to hear it. "
This was not a surprise to fans, since Swift had said that she was already at work on a re-do of the album this past week. Swift seems very much to want to promote her present recordings to fans.
Earlier Sunday, Swift had posted on Twitter a black-and-white photo of herself resting on a couch with the message, "Not a lot going on at the moment. "Fans immediately knew this was one of the star's Easter egg moments, not an admission(承认)of laziness, since she'd posted the same ironic(反语的)title when she was secretly beginning the recording of "Folklore". This time, she definitely doesn't want to keep it a secret.
"This is a fan-voted award, which means so much to me," she said. "You guys have been absolutely wonderful all the years of my career, but especially this one, when we've been so far apart. We haven't been able to see each other in concert, but I still feel really connected to you through the music," Swift said, citing(引用)"your reaction to 'Folklore' and all of the ways in which your imagination honored that album. "
【1】What was Swift doing during the award presentation?
A.Attending another award ceremony. B.Communicating with her fans.
C.Performing at a concert. D.Working in the studio.
【2】What can we learn about Swift's re-recorded album?
A.Swift thinks highly of it.
B.Swift can't wait to sell it.
C.Swift fears fans won't like it.
D.Swift regrets missing the ceremony because of it.
【3】What can we infer from Swift's Twitter on Sunday?
A.She was busy with her album. B.She was serious all the time.
C.She was interested in taking photos. D.She was a little lazy.
【4】Why does Swift value the award given to her?
A.It suggests her album will sell well. B.It shows she is loved by her fans.
C.It is completely unexpected. D.It brings her a lot of money.
22、Social distancing is nothing new to honey bees. When a colony is infected with the deadly Israeli acute paralysis virus (IAPV), bees are less likely to touch or feed their sick nest mates, according to a new study.
Not much is known about how bees act when infected with viruses. Adam Dolezal, an insect physiologist at the University of Illinois, who studies IAPV, teamed up with a computer scientist Tim Gernat, who had developed an automated system to monitor bee behavior. They identified a behavior called trophallaxis, in which honey bees feed their fellow workers by regurgitating (反刍) food from their bodies.
They put infected bees into their colony. After 5 days of recording, the team found that heathy bees were avoiding contact with the infected bees. The findings show how bee behavior in a real colony can prevent an infection.
But the virus appears to have an alarming counterattack (反攻): When sick bees try to enter a new colony, they do a better job of getting past the guards than uninfected bees. That has led the scientists to predict that the virus has developed a way to spread to new colonies.
Bee colonies are usually guarded by bees to keep foreigners out. Guards use their special organs in the head to detect a collection of chemical signals on the outside of their bees, which is used to identify them as members of the colony or foreigners.
As for why IAPV is so successful at tricking the guards, it might be that it changes the number of various chemical signals, which differed between the sick and healthy groups. This makes the guards more likely to misjudge and accept the infected bees. The sick bees were also gentler when challenged by guards and more likely to offer them food, and those behaviors may also help them spread the disease.
IAPV isn’t the only pathogen (病原体) bees can bring. If IAPV helps other pathogens spread, that could be a big problem for commercial beekeepers who pack colonies together for efficiency. “There’s very little you can do if you suspect a virus infection,” Dolezal says. Instead, they have got to increase the space between colonies.
【1】What’s true about the colony with infected bees?
A.Sick bees don’t feed healthy bees.
B.Infected bees were less likely to be fed.
C.IAPV made sick bees unable to share food.
D.Infected bees practiced distancing willingly.
【2】What has puzzled scientists according to the fourth paragraph?
A.The impacts of IAPV on colonies.
B.The connections between colonies.
C.The safe social distancing between bees.
D.IAPV’s ability to spread among colonies.
【3】What is the last but one paragraph mainly about?
A.How sick bees infect other bees.
B.How the virus confuses guard bees.
C.How sick bees get accepted by others.
D.How guard bees defend their colonies.
【4】What can we infer from the text?
A.IAPV controls bee behavior within a colony.
B.Bees first learned social distancing due to IAPV.
C.Distancing of colonies is needed to protect bees.
D.Beekeepers should learn to recognize infected bees.

24、 It was winter but people were everywhere in London at the weekend. They were in T-shirts or sandals (凉鞋). Monday was another warm day, without a cloud in the sky, and in the late afternoon the light took on a magical, honey-coloured color. It brought to mind one of those summer evenings you experienced in childhood, when you’d be in the park all day and your parents let you stay out until bedtime, and you felt like you were doing something deliciously naughty just by being there.
It wasn’t early summer: it was February. And the entire developed world has been attacking the global ecosystem (全球生态系统) for many years, and that’s how we go into this pickle.
We should try to hold on to this fact that this is not supposed to be happening. Less than a month ago, there was a video of extreme ( 极 端 的 ) cold weather coming out of Chicago. Water poured from cups immediately froze on its way to the ground. OK, that was on the other side of the world, and its temperature was- 11℃ then.
On Monday, though, the temperature hit 20.3℃ in Ceredigion, West Wales: the highest February temperature ever recorded in Britain and the first time the temperature had reached 20℃ in winter.
This isn’t good, is it? The 10 hottest years on record have all happened within the past 20 years, the five hottest were the last five. Yet the beaches and the beer gardens fill up, while the papers describe the weather as wonderful. There were those who gave in to the heat wave a little too easily. They let themselves forget it was winter and found themselves, when the sun went down and the temperature dropped, suddenly shaking and unprepared for the cold. It feels uncomfortably like a symbol.
【1】What does the author want to do in the first paragraph?
A.To introduce a beautiful summer.
B.To encourage kids to play outside.
C.To share his daily activities with us.
D.To describe the scene of a warm winter.
【2】What does the underlined word pickle in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Daily activity. B.Unusual place.
C.Difficult situation. D.Quick development.
【3】Why is Chicago’s weather mentioned?
A.To compare it with that of London.
B.To attract more people to Chicago.
C.To show it is well-known for an online video.
D.To encourage more people to post videos online.
【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.The author hoped people stayed indoors.
B.The author worries about global warming.
C.The papers misled the public in weather reports.
D.The papers asked the public to prepare for the cold.
