21、Getting old might not be something that's yet to cross your mind. But aging is going to defeat us one day, so it's something we'd all like to control.
It would be great to have a long, healthy and happy life, and that's why scientists are constantly seeking out what we need to do to achieve it. We all know that regular exercise is good for us. But the latest piece of research might put a spring in your step if you're someone who walks at a fast pace. That's because the speed at which people walk in their 40s is a sign of how much their brains and their bodies are aging.
The BBC's Philippa Roxby writes that tests on 1,000 people found that slower walkers tended to show signs of "accelerated aging”. Their lungs, teeth and immune systems were in worse shape than those walking faster. The study also found not only did slower walkers bodies age more quickly, their faces looked older and they had smaller brains.
This might be seen as a wake-up call for people with a slower pace to work out and get fitter. But it might be too late； researchers say they were able to predict the walking speed of 45-year-olds using the results of intelligence, language and motor (运动)skills tests from when they were aged three. They also suggest that even in early life, there are signs showing which people will have a healthier life.
So, what's the point of knowing that a slower walking pace might mean a smaller brain? Researchers say measuring walking speed at a younger age and understanding what this might mean could be a way of testing treatments to slow human aging.
【1】Why do scientists keep on studying?
A．To help people live a better life.
B．To achieve their goals.
C．To find ways to stop aging.
D．To find out who can live longer.
【2】How did the researchers get the result?
A．By analyzing data.
B．By doing experiments int he lab.
C．By doing surveys.
D．By carrying out tests on people.
【3】The findings can be used to .
A．treat certain illnesses
B．find ways to slow aging
C．make people work harder
D．urge people to walk slowly
【4】Where is the text most likely from?
A．A diary.
B．A guidebook.
C．A novel.
D．A magazine.

This photo taken on Feb 19,2023 shows giant panda Xiang Xiang at Ueno Zoological Gardens in Tokyo, Japan. People flocked to Tokyo’s Ueno Zoological Gardens to see Xiang Xiang on Sunday, the final day for public viewing for the beloved five-year-old female giant panda before her return to China.
Giant pandas are among the most lovable animals alive today.Unlike their relatives, such as the polar bear, pandas don’t eat meal but survive on a diet of only bamboo. So why and how have pandas abandoned their taste for meat to pick up a vegetarian diet?
Pandas today don’t eat meat. However, they’ve kept much of their meat-eating adaptations from times past. Their digestive systems have not changed much from their meat-eating days. Out of the huge 12.5 kg of bamboo they eat in a single day, only about 17%of it is digested. To survive, pandas eat large amounts of bamboo while having a low-metabolic(新陈代谢的), lazy lifestyle to make up for the poor energy return.
The giant panda’s shift to a vegetarian diet is in line with the inactivation of a specific gene-Taslrl, which provides them with the ability to taste certain amino acids(氨基酸) abundant in meat. Its inactivation in pandas would lead to their dietary change.
Pandas have evolved(进化) to a great degree to cope with their relatively recent bamboo-eating lifestyle. Pandas must seize long and thin pieces of bamboo shoots. To help with this, they have developed a long “fake-thumb”(伪拇指). So giant pandas have six fingers in each paw which provides better support for them to seize objects such as bamboo in one paw quickly. Researchers have found that the surface of the panda’s tongue is different. While other bears and many meat-eating animals have smooth tongues, pandas have evolved tiny projections on the surface of their tongues that serve to file down food. This is especially useful for pandas as they remove the outer cover of bamboo.
Time will tell if pandas will adapt and survive, go back to eating meat, or disappear in the wild. Whatever the future holds, we can be grateful that, for the time being, we get to share our planet with these adorable animals.
【1】Why are the data mentioned in paragraph 3?
A．To state the variety of food.
B．To represent the evolutionary rule of pandas.
C．To show the ineffectiveness of digestive system.
D．To describe the changes of living environment.
【2】What caused pandas’ change in diet?
A．The low-metabolic lifestyle.
B．The amino acids in meat.
C．The surface of the panda’s tongue.
D．The Taslrl gene’s inactivation.
【3】What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 5 refer to?
A．Developing more fingers.
B．Seizing bamboo shoots.
C．The low energy return.
D．The vegetarian diet.
【4】Which aspect of pandas does paragraph 5 focus on?
A．The evolutionary feature in eating.
B．The preference for bamboo.
C．The unique lifestyle.
D．The special appearance.
23、Jack was born without eyes. He’s very lucky with his timing. He grew up having other kittens to play and socialize with, and was used to people from the moment he was born since there are always kids hanging around the barn. He was a favorite amongst the students at the barn. However, when it came time to find the kittens homes, no one knew where Jack would end up. That’s when I got an e-mail from my friend. All she asked was “Do you still want one of the kittens? There’s one here with no eyes and no one can take him.” Without thinking I told her that I did want the kitten.
When we first brought him home Jack stayed mostly in my room. He walked cautiously around, sniffing everything. After about a day he had no issues running around, jumping onto my bed and climbing on everything. He went through a time where he could climb the stairs, but couldn’t get down. He would sit at the top and cry until someone came and got him. Every now and then when he gets disoriented he’ll stop and cry. But we just call his name and talk to him and it isn’t long before he finds his way back to us.
Also, a few weeks after getting Jack, we got a new barn cat named Bear. I always take Jack outside at that time for some fresh air and exercise. He loves to run (at top speed!) around the back yard and gardens. Bear and Jack have become best friends. It doesn’t matter that he can’t see, Jack always knows when Bear is around. He’ll run across the yard straight to Bear and wrap his front legs around his neck in a big hug. They chase each other around and wrestle, and when they’re tired they’ll lie down in the grass together.
Jack is truly an inspiration. I’ve owned a lot of kittens in my life, but Jack is the happiest, most playful of them all. He doesn’t feel sorry for himself. Heck, for all he knows, all cats are just like him. People who know Jack don’t feel sorry for him. They cherish him for the treasure that he is. I have talked to a few people who haven’t met him personally who tend to pity him, but they just don’t understand. Jack doesn’t need pity. I think Jean (who has Gumbo the eyeless ginger) said it best when she told me that cats don’t have disabilities, they have adaptabilities.
【1】According to the first paragraph, Jack __________.
A. got seriously disabled after birth
B. had a good time in the place where he was born
C. ended up wandering in the street at first
D. grew up lonely and sad
【2】When Jack first came to the authors house, he __________.
A. would cry when he felt lonely
B. was very happy and played wildly in the room
C. had difficulty getting down the stairs
D. always needed someone to guide him
【3】Which of the following has a similar meaning to the underlined word “disoriented”?
A. Hurt. B. Caught.
C. Lost. D. Broken.
【4】What can we conclude from the last paragraph?
A. Jack needs people’s pity.
B. All disabled cats have strong adaptabilities.
C. People always feel sad for Jack.
D. Jack’s story has inspired people.
24、As soon as a person dies, decomposition(分解) begins. And the first visitors arrive. “Within 5 to 15 minutes of death, flies or other insects begin to colonize the body.” says Rabi Musah, an organic chemist at the University at Albany.
She says different species turn up at different stages of decomposition. “So because of that, depending upon what entomological(昆虫学的) evidence you find, you can learn something about when the person died in terms of the timing of the death.”
Flies don't tend to stick around when disturbed by detectives. But they do leave behind eggs. The eggs are hard to tell apart by appearance alone, so specialists raise them until they hatch, a few weeks later—and they get a species ID and, with a little guesswork, a person's time of death. But Musah has come up with a more time-saving approach: chemical analysis of the eggs. She and her team investigated that method by first harvesting flies with pig-liver traps hidden throughout New York City. They collected the trapped flies and then chemically analyzed their eggs. And it turns out each species of fly egg has a unique chemical fingerprint—enough to tell the eggs apart without raising the eggs to maturity. The study is in the journal Analytical Chemistry.
Musah and her colleague Jennifer Rosati are now testing the method on a real case. “And once we do that we will be publishing some case studies to illustrate(阐明) that this is a method that can be used, and hopefully eventually it's something that will stand up in court, and something that could speed up detective work—or help deal with a cold case.”
【1】Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “colonize” in paragraph 1?
A. look for B. fight over C. carry away D. gather on
【2】How can a specialist know a person’s time of death?
A. By researching the habitual nature of flies.
B. By relying on the entomological evidence.
C. By distinguishing the appearance of flies.
D. By discovering a new detective method.
【3】What can we infer about Musah’s approach from the last paragraph?
A. Scientists have published studies about it.
B. It is bound to make every cold case solved.
C. It may help accelerate the detection of cases.
D. It will be published in Analytical Chemistry.
【4】Where most probably can you see this article?
A. In a science fiction. B. In a newspaper.
C. In a medical paper. D. In a novel.

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。
For nearly four months, the little dog, Indiana, fortunately survived in the woods with a wounded shoulder. She'd been mistaken for a wolf and shot while running wild with her mother, Dakota. An animal control officers said they were the most strongly bonded pair he'd even seen and the two dogs refused to leave each other's side, even while trying to escape being caught.
As a result of the gunshot, Indiana lost both her leg and her mother, for the two were sent to different adoption groups. While Indiana was learning to walk on three legs down south, Dakota was 1,000 miles north in New England. The first adoption family returned her two days later. They said the dog couldn't bond with humans, kept them up all night and wasn't suitable to live in a home. Eventually, Dakota found her forever home with me on Long Island. I have experience with such dogs, and Dakota, a husky (哈士奇犬), just needed attention and someone who understood how to approach her. I always let her come up to me. I gave her the time and space to explore and feel comfortable. She soon let me put a belt on her and would lie on the sofa with me quietly.
When I, accidentally, read the post of Dakota's first adopter, it mentioned that the little dog Dakota had been running with was shot, and, I thought, killed. I'm a broadcast news journalist, so I always did some survey and, by chance, heard a story from a South Carolina TV news outlet about a dog that recently had her front leg cut off because of an old gunshot wound. And anyone who wanted to adopt Indiana was required to have a six-foot fence because she kept jumping over the one at the care shelter in South Carolina. There was no mistaking it—she looked exactly like Dakota. Indiana wasn't killed by the gunshot, just badly injured.
1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请在答题卡的相应位置作答。
While Dakota loved me and her new home, she still missed her kid.
