21、Most squirrels don’t hibernate(冬眠). Instead, they store food for the cold season and spend the winter in their nests. But the 13-lined ground squirrel, one species of squirrel in the U.S. Midwest, is not the case. For up to 8 months, the tiny mammals won’t eat or drink anything at all and the heart rate, metabolism(新陈代谢), and body temperature dramatically drop during their long rest, which is similar to bears and other hibernating animals.
To find out how the hibernating squirrels hold back their thirst, a powerful force that could potentially wake them up, and researchers measured the blood fluid of dozens of squirrels. Generally, a high blood concentration(血液浓度) makes animals, including humans, feel thirty. The sleeping squirrels' blood concentration was low, preventing them from waking up for a drink. Even when researchers woke up the torpid squirrels, they wouldn’t drink a drop until the team artificially increased the concentration of their blood serum.
Next, the researchers wanted to know how the squirrels’ blood concentration dropped so low. Perhaps the squirrels drank a lot of water before hibernation to dilute(稀释) their blood, the researchers thought. But when they filmed squirrels preparing for their winter snooze, they found the animals actually drank less water than they normally did.
Instead, chemical tests revealed the squirrels regulate their blood concentration by getting rid of electrolytes(电解质)like sodium and other chemicals like glucose and urea and storing them elsewhere in the body (possibly in the bladder), the researchers reported last month in Current Biology. The finding could also explain how other hibernating animals stay containing water.
This new knowledge might one day help humans with conditions such as diabetes(糖尿病), or astronauts who have launched on long space flights. Unfortunately, even if people can figure out how to drop their blood concentration, it’s unlikely they’ll ever be as cute as sleeping squirrels.
【1】What do we know about the 13-lined ground squirrels?
A．They don’t hibernate like many other squirrels.
B．They are endangered species in the U. S. Midwest.
C．They can live for months without water during hibernation.
D．Their heart rule and body temperature are extremely abnormal.
【2】The hibernating squirrels don' feel thirsty because of their___________.
A．high blood concentration
B．low blood concentration
C．low body temperature
D．high heart rate
【3】Hibernating squirrels adjust their blood concentrations by_____________.
A．Drinking much water before hibernation
B．Not eating anything during hibernation
C．Drinking less water than they normally do
D．Removing certain chemicals and storing them somewhere
【4】What is the author’s attitude towards the new findings?
A．Objective
B．Positive
C．Disappointing
D．Uncaring
22、When I was growing up, I had an old neighbor named Doctor Gibbs. He didn’t look like any doctor I’d ever known. He never yelled at us for playing in his yard, but was always very kind.
When Doctor Gibbs wasn’t saving lives, he was planting trees. He had some interesting theories about planting trees. He believed in the principle “No pain, no gain”. He hardly watered his new trees, which flew in the face of conventional(传统的) wisdom. Once I asked why and he told me that watering plants spoiled them because it made them grow weaker. He said you had to make things tough for the trees so that only the strongest could survive. He talked about how watering trees made them develop shallow roots and how, if they were not watered, trees would grow deep roots in search of water. So, instead of watering his trees every morning, he’d beat them with a rolled-up newspaper. I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the tree’s attention.
Doctor Gibbs died a couple of years after I left home. Every now and then, I walked by his house and looked at the trees that I’d watched him plant some twenty five years ago. They were all tall and strong.
I planted a couple of trees myself a few years ago. Two years of attending these trees meant they grew up weak. Whenever a cold wind blew, their branches trembled. Adversity(逆境) seemed to benefit Doctor Gibb’s trees in ways comfort and ease never could.
Every night before I go to bed, I check on my two sons. I often pray that their lives will be easy. But lately I’ve been thinking that it’s time to change my prayer. I know my children are going to meet with hardship. There’s always a cold wind blowing somewhere. What we need to do is to pray for deep roots, so when the rains fall and the winds blow, we won’t be torn apart.
【1】With the trees planted, Doctor Gibbs often __________.
A. kept watering them every morning
B. paid little attention to them
C. talked to them to get their attention
D. beat them to make them grow deep roots
【2】What does the author think of the way Doctor Gibbs planted trees?
A. strange and harmful
B. interesting and funny
C. original and reasonable
D. cruel and unacceptable
【3】Which prayer does the author wish for his sons?
A. Have an easy life, without too much to worry about.
B. Meet people like Dr Gibbs in the future.
C. Have good luck, encountering less hardship in their life.
D. Be able to stand the rain and wind in their lives.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A. Growing roots
B. Doctor Gibbs and his trees
C. Prayers for my sons
D. Watering trees
23、 It’s important to spend time talking to your teen about the news and how the media works. Studies show kids experience fewer harmful effects when they’ve been taught basic media literacy skills.【1】
Encourage critical thinking. Encourage your teen to question the information she’s reading. Ask her to consider who wrote the story and why that person may have written it.
【2】Talk about the methods companies use to convince people to buy their products. Promising that a product will help you look beautiful or be more popular, for example, is often part of the message.
Teach your teen to look at all the information. Talk about the importance of looking at the “about us” page on a website to learn more about who produced the content.【3】Just a picture paired with an article doesn’t mean the picture was taken at the actual event being discussed in the story.
Look at websites together. Sit down with your teen and review popular news sites and discuss how to tell between news stories and the sponsored content.【4】

24、Jake Oldershaw and his daughter Mollie from Birmingham, Britain have asthma (哮喘). Mollie, 11, has required hospital treatment several times while Jake Says he always finds breathing more difficult when there is heavy traffic. Air quality has an enormous impact on their lives and both noticed a marked improvement during the spring lockdown because of the epidemic (疫情). Jake said, “During lockdown there was a noticeable difference in air quality. I didn't suffer any asthmatic attacks during that period. These days you can feel the effects.”
However, under current COVID-19 restrictions in the UK this winter, many people probably will have to work from home. The Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit (ECIU) says while emissions (排放) have dropped this year because we've been travelling less and doing less, the expected use of gas boilers to provide heating and hot water could rise by more than half.
Heating accounts for nearly 37% of the UK's total carbon emissions. Modelling by the ECIU suggests a 56% increase in boiler usage this winter resulting in a 12% increase in emissions of carbon. The ECIU says that's enough to offset the last two years' worth of progress on reducing traffic emissions.
Jess Ralston, author of the analysis for the ECIU, said, “Working from home and having increased gas use in the home could be really critical for air pollution and also climate change. The way we heat our homes needs to change if we are to get to net zero by 2050.”
Jess Ralston said, “The increase in pollution from gas boilers expected this winter provides a graphic illustration (图解) of their forgotten role in air pollution. And it is a role set to continue without practical policies to decarbonize home heating. ”
The government is set to publish its Heat and Buildings Decarbonisation Strategy in a few weeks which is expected to give details on plans to try to switch British homes to cleaner sources of heat.
【1】How did the spring lockdown in the UK affect Jake?
A．He was cured of his asthma.
B．He had to go to hospital for retreatment.
C．He suffered a noticeable difficulty in study.
D．He didn't suffer any asthmatic attacks during that period.
【2】What is concerning the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit?
A．The epidemic will become worse.
B．Air pollution will get worse this winter.
C．People may have to work from home longer.
D．There is less energy for gas boilers in winter.
【3】What would Jess Ralston agree with?
A．People prefer to work from home in winter.
B．The government failed to protect the environment.
C．People tend to ignore the harmful effect of home heating.
D．The climate has suffered a lot from the epidemic this year.
【4】How to improve air quality during winter according to Jess Ralston?
A．A warmer winter season.
B．Less and less gas boilers.
C．Practical plans from the government.
D．Improved awareness of cutting down pollution.
25、Time for girls to shine
Most of us grew up reading fairy tales that start with “Once upon a time” and end with “the princess and prince lived happily ever after”. They seem to be harmless- even _________, perhaps. But in the eyes of two Italian writers, Favilli and Cavallo, this is what’s been _________ with children’s stories for years.
“Children’s books have always _________ the same since we were children,” Cavallo said. And a study also found while 80 percent of male characters in most popular children’s books have a(n) _________, only 18 percent of female characters do.
So they together wrote a book _________ only female protagonists(主角). Good Night Stories for Rebel( 叛逆) Girls is an “anti- princess” book, which gives young girls role models of their own to _________.
The original book was published in December 2019, and the second volume _________ on Feb 28, 2021. Both books contain the stories of 100 extraordinary women from all over the world, and much to the_________ of children’s book writers, every one of them has a job or professional ambition. The “characters”_________ pop singer Beyonce and tennis star Serena Williams.
However, the word “rebel” may make some people feel uncomfortable, since it’s not really seen as __________. But being rebellious is__________ being independent, which many of today’s girls need to develop.
“It is important to __________- especially if you are a woman or a girl- a rebel attitude, a rebel character, because you have to __________ harder to reach your dream and to get what you want.

26、书面表达
Right after the Second World War, Germany was in ruins. Almost all the houses, factories and schools were destroyed. Plenty of people were homeless as well as jobless. Worse still, the supply of water and electricity was often cut off in the city. Two American journalists interviewed a German family living in the basement. The husband was disabled from the war and the wife was just dismissed from a clothing company. Worse still, there were bills for them to pay—four children to care for and food to buy. Life was hard for them at that time.
After the interview, the journalists chatted with each other on the way back to the company.
“Do you think the Germans could rebuild their homeland?”
“Absolutely.”
“But I can’t see any hope for the country at all. How can you be so certain about that?”
“Have you noticed what they put on the table in the basement? There was a vase of flowers. A nation, suffering at such moment, hasn’t forgotten about flowers. It shows that hopes are not lost. They are still able to dream. A nation with hope can create miracles. They are sure to be able to rebuild their homeland.”
