21、 A large supply of acorns (橡实) on the ground last winter provided food for chipmunks (花栗鼠) across New England in the northeastern US as spring returned. Acorns and other nuts are a main part of the animals’ diet. They also eat insects, berries, and other kinds of fruit. The substantial food supply kept chipmunks well fed as they got busy reproducing and having families this spring. Now, the growth in the chipmunk population is so noticeable, with people saying the animals are driving them nuts.
Shevenell Webb, a biologist with the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife (MDIFW), said: “While chipmunks are often entertaining, they can be a bother.” The animals dig through the ground, making holes and passageways. This can lead to the destruction of grass, flowers and other plant life. Chipmunks can be “cute” and “fun to watch in the forest” as they move in and out of holes like playful children, “When their mouths aren’t full of nuts, chipmunks make an interesting chip sound,” Webb said.
Steven Parren is a wildlife program official with the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department. He said he couldn’t grow flowers with chipmunks digging them up. “They don’t even cease,” he said. There were so many acorns in one area that there was no way the animals could have put them all away for winter. In addition to chipmunks, he is also seeing more squirrels, rabbits and mice this year.
Experts note while small animal populations can sometimes explode, they usually return to normal. Chipmunks can be food for other creatures. They are easy targets for owls, snakes and foxes. But even if they survive such attacks, Webb said individual chipmunks usually only live about three years. Many New Englanders remember a similar rise in the area’s squirrel population in 2018. Webb said that increase led to a lot of roadkill. “We’ve never seen anything like that. That was a once — in — a — lifetime event.”

22、 It seems that society has placed so much value on the word“humility(谦逊)”. Sometimes we're told to lower ourselves in order to be recognized as a more modest student or employee. The true humility, however, is more about the way you relate to yourself and your surroundings, 【1】, according to a US-based business magazine. Here are three ways to start developing a more modest personality.
Stop questioning your worth
Being mild-mannered does not contradict recognizing your worth, because you'll become at peace with your inner self when you accept your own strengths. Humility will then come as a natural consequence. 【2】. Worth shouldn't be measured by what you compete on in society. Rather, it's your gifts, talents and hard work that prove who you are.
【3】
Be willing to get coffee for a colleague, sweep the floors of your dormitory, or move to a smaller office at work. 【4】. In addition, it may potentially inspire ideas for growth beyond your original vision. Accepting more flexibility in your everyday life will also help you move back and forth in the path, without having to worry about “losing yourself” in any difficulty you may come across. You'll gradually realize that either a step forward or backward won't affect your value.
Accept uncertainty
【5】. Try to appreciate the unknown and regard it as a fresh learning opportunity rather than a nightmare. Just as band Maroon 5 says, “Life isn't always rainbows and butterflies. It's compromise that moves us along.” This may never be easy. But you can meet uncertainty with a sense of curiosity to learn what can be created from it. Furthermore, appreciating the unknown instead of fearing it is also a way to reduce stress.
A.Be determined and hard-working
B.rather than how society looks at you
C.Remember that you are valuable regardless of outside variables
D.Uncertainty is a double-edged sword in many cases
E.Develop a healthier relationship with uncertainty
F.This can allow you to interact with the people around you in new ways
G.Be eager and flexible
23、Grasses and short trees are growing and expanding around Mount Qomolangma and across the Hi ma lay an region as the area continued to experience the consequences of global warming, researchers have found. Using satellite data from 1993 to 2018, scientists measured “small but significant” increased between 4,150 and 6,000 meters above sea level. “There are now more areas that are covered in plants than there were in 1993,” said Anderson, a scientist who led the research.
While it is still too early to tell what impact this new growth could have on the region, “urgent research” on the potential effects is needed. “We don't know what the impact is — it might be the plants that cause the snow to melt more quickly,” Anderson added.
1.4 billion people depend on water collected in the region. Changes to water supplies could have great impacts on communities in different countries. “We know that plants and the water cycle are coupled,” Anderson explained. “Wherever you have plants growing, it changes the way the water cycle behaved in those areas. This is particularly important in the Himalayas because glaciers are reducing. We know from lots of scientific research that this is already having an impact on water supplies in this region and it will continue to do so as li-mate change continued.”
Climate change is already having an impact on Himalayan communities, A 2019 study found that Hi ma lay an glaciers have been losing almost half a meter of ice each year since the start of this century. This has already resulted in local communities being flooded — and could ultimately result in drought. Last year, a researcher from the International Centre found that at least a third of the ice in the region, which is home to Mount Qomolangma, could melt by the end of the century.
【1】What changes happened to Mount Qomolangma from 1993 to 2018?
A.Sea levels rose quickly.
B.More plants grew there.
C.Grasses died out there.
D.Temperatures declined.
【2】Why does the author mention Anderson in paragraph 2?
A.To explain the causes of climate change.
B.To prove the effects of glaciers melting.
C.To present the reasons for plants growing.
D.To show the necessity of the urgent research.
【3】What affected the water supply in the Himalayas?
A.The way of the water cycle.
B.The varieties of plants.
C.The large population.
D.The increasing glaciers.
【4】Why would Himalayan communities end in drought?
A.It seldom snows there.
B.They have great floods these years.
C.The glaciers would disappear.
D.More plants will grow there.
24、Peter loved to shop used articles(物品). Almost a month ago, he bought popular word game that used little pieces of wood with different letters on them. As he was purchasing it, the salesgirl said, “Uh, look, the game box hasn’t even been opened yet. That might be worth some money. ”
Peter examined the box, and, sure enough, it was completely covered in factory-sealed plastic. And he saw a date of 1973 on the back of the box.
“You should put that up for auction (拍卖) on the Internet, and see what happens.”the salesgirl said.

“I’ve got something for you,” Peter said. “I sold the game and made $1,000. Thank you for your suggestion.” He handed her three $ 100 bills.

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。
The football season was almost over. Sally had been playing football all summer. She really enjoyed running around with the other players in her bright orange uniform, chasing the black and white ball across the grassy field. As much as shewed, though, Sally still had not scored one single goal.
Before each game, they had a practice session. The coach showed Sally and her team how to pass the ball to each other and take shots at the goal. Sally was pretty good at passing the ball, but even during practices, she couldn't kick the ball past the goalkeeper. She wondered if she should quit football and join a different club.
“Don’t give up,” said the coach. But it was half-time, and Sally was feeling frustrated (沮丧). She was trying! Every time she got a chance to kick the ball, it would go in the wrong direction or a player from the other team would take control of it. She sipped at her cola and pouted (撅嘴).
The break was over and the referee blew his whistle to start the game again. The two teams walked back onto the field, both determined to win. Sally bent, tied up her shoelace and heard her mother whisper in her ear. “Stay focused. Keep your eyes on the ball. Look for an opportunity to get the ball. You can do it.”
Sally stood up and took a deep breath. Even if she didn't get one goal all summer, she knew that she had tried her best. That was something to be proud of. So she smiled at her mother and headed to her position. The whistle blew, and the game continued.
The score was tied with one goal each. The green team was pretty good, but Sally's orange team was fast. The girls' ponytails bounced as they ran, with many feet kicking frantically (拼命地) at the ball when it came near them. It was a rather boring game and Sally's heart was no longer in it.
注意:
