21、Although the northern right whale (Eubalena glacialis) has remained the most endangered of the world’s whale species, we removed it from our Top 10 Endangered Species List a few years back. Because of effective conservation regulations, the number of right whales that travel the Atlantic coasts of Canada and the US had rebounded (回升) from an all-time low of 350 to at least 450 by the middle of the 21st century’s second decade.
However, the tide of good news for the species now seems to have been reversed, due, apparently, to global climate change. Warming ocean waters, particularly in the Gulf of Marine where the whales often feed, have caused kill-the tiny creatures right whales feed on - to decrease and become more difficult for the whales to find. As a result, right whale reproduction has fallen to an alarmingly low level, deaths due to all causes have increased, with 16 of the huge cetaceans (鲸鱼) found dead in 2017 alone.Researchers are finding evidence of increased levels of stress on the animals. So alarming is the situation that we’ve decided to put the northern right whale right back at the top of our list.
The right whale got its name because 19th century whalers considered it “right” whale to kill, as it was not only full of valuable whale oil, but it also floated after it was dead, which made it easy to handle and process. As a result, it was driven to near extinction. Though now protected by law, right whales continue to suffer losses due to commercial fishing-and now, increasingly, as a result of global climate change, due to the lack of the tiny crustaceans (甲壳类) on which they feed.
【1】Why was the northern right whale taken off the Top 10 Endangered Species List for a time?
A．Only a few people focused on it.
B．Its population was on the rise again.
C．It wasn’t considered as endangered.
D．Many of them settled along Atlantic coasts.
【2】What does the underlined word “reversed” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A．Protected.
B．Similar.
C．Opposite.
D．Accepted.
【3】Why does the author mention 16 dead cetaceans in paragraph 2?
A．To stress cetaceans need to be taken seriously.
B．To show oceans got seriously polluted in 2017.
C．To suggest taking measures to protect cetaceans.
D．To warn that cetaceans are on the way to dying out.
【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．The tiny crustaceans do harm to the right whales.
B．Commercial fishing has been forbidden for years.
C．The decrease of right whales is related to humans.
D．Climate change results from the number of whales.
22、阅读理解。
Alibaba started taking the lead in China by connecting big Chinese manufacturers(制造商) with big buyers across the world.Its business-to-business site,Alibaba.com allowed business to buy almost everything.Alibaba’s advantage wasn’t hard to judge:size.Alibaba is just big,even by Chinese standards.Its market attracts 231 million active buyers,8 million sellers,11.3 billion orders a year—and Alibaba is just the middleman.It encourages people to use its markets—not charging small sellers a percentage of the sale.
If you want a quick look into the influence of Alibaba on daily Chinese life,take my experience.I moved to Beijing a year ago and quickly got tired of visiting small stores across the crowded,polluted city of 20 million people in search of new electronics,bathroom furnishings,and anything else my wife wanted.“You’re looking for what exactly?Why not try it?” my Chinese teacher asked me one day.With that,my wonderful new relationship with Alibaba began.
Alibaba’s original business-to-business model now is second to consumer buying.Chinese retail(零售) buying makes up 80% of Alibaba’s profit,and leading that group is Taobao,with 800 million items for sale and the most unbelievable selection of things you’ll ever find.Tmall.com is Alibaba’s another big site,where you can find brand name goods from Nike and Unilever near the lowest prices.
What I have a hard time explaining to friends and family back in the U.S.is how China has gone beyond traditional shopping—big-box retailers especially—in favour of online purchases on Taobao and a few other sites.In smaller towns than Beijing,where big retailers have not yet traveled,shopping online is shopping,and shopping is Taobao.
I have a list of some of my recent purchases on Taobao for a sense of how wide the marketplace is.Almost everything arrived a day or two after ordering with free shipping.I’m not even a big buyer,because I need friends to help me search the Chinese-language site.When I was searching my purchase history on my Chinese teacher’s iPad,which helps me buy goods,I looked through with great difficulty about 10 of her purchases for every one of mine.
【1】Alibaba’s advantage mainly lies in .
A.its low price
B.its big size
C.its not charging small sellers
D.its business-to-business service
【2】We know from the passage that Alibaba .
A.will continue to develop
B.charges all the sellers on its site a percentage of the sale
C.acts as a bridge between the buyers and sellers
D.is of middle size among all the online sites
【3】What can be inferred from the passage?
A.Alibaba’s business-to-business service earns more money than retail.
B.Tmall.com provides more profit than Taobao.
C.Taobao has no obvious advantage over other similar online sites.
D.The author’s Chinese teacher is also an online purchase lover.
【4】What is the passage mainly about?
A.Shopping online in China is Taobao.
B.How the author purchases online in China.
C.Shopping online goes beyond traditional shopping.
D.Alibaba influences people’s daily purchase in China.

24、To prepare for real-life emergencies, rescue teams must practice. They practice putting on ice suits, working with ropes, and using hand signals to communicate. And once the lake freezes, then practice ice rescue.
On a training day, a firefighter puts on his ice suit. He then pushes air out of the ice suit. If not, the trapped air bubble could make him float. He walks out onto frozen lake to play the role of the “victim (受害者)”. He shakes, not from cold, but worries about not knowing when he’ll fall through! His first several steps feel solid. The ice seems thick. But 28 steps in: Crack! Water begins to come in through the ice. He slows down. At 31 steps — Plunk! He falls through the ice. He keeps him mouth shut so he doesn’t swallow any water. It’s time to pretend he’d a victim, calling for help and struggling in the lake.
Two more firefighters, attached to the onshore team with ropes, walk onto the lake. They stay on different parts of the ice in case it breaks, both carrying protective equipment like a belt or a board. Meanwhile, onshore team members, wearing life vests talk to the “victim” to keep him calm. Near the ice hole, a rescuer drops to her belly and moves slowly. The second rescuer rolls. Both methods spread out the weight so they don’t also fall through the ice.
The firefighter with the board explains that they’re there to help. She hands the board to the victim and tells him to catch it. The second firefighter enters the water and ties the belt securely to the victim. He gives a signal and the onshore members pulls the rope. As the rope tightens, the rescuer lifts the victim’s legs so he’s on his belly. Together, they sail across the ice.
Once they’re on land, firefighters exchange roles. When every firefighter has had a turn at rescuing and playing “victim”, they all put on warm, dry clothes and head back to the station for hot chocolate.
【1】Why does the “victim” push air out of his ice suit before entering water?
A．To walk in the water.
B．To sink beneath the ice.
C．To float on the surface.

【2】During the practice, rescue members need to do the following EXCEPT ________.

B．The rescue group perform such rescue practice daily.
C．The firefighters take turns to play the part of “victim”.
D．It is unnecessary to talk to the “victim” during the rescue.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
