21、World-famous music and movie star Olivia Newton-John died at her home in southern California. She sold over 100 million record albums during her career. From 1973 to 1983, she was among the world's most popular entertainers. She had 14 top 10 singles in the United States alone and won four Grammys.
Newton-John is most remembered for her performance in 1978's wildly popular musical movie Grease. She stars as high school student Sandy. “I was worried that at 29 I was too old to play a high school girl, ”Newton-John told The Telegraph in 2017.“Everything about making the film was fun, but if I had to pick a favorite moment, it was the transformation from what I call Sandy 1 to Sandy 2. I got to play a different character and wear different clothes, and when I put on that tight black outfit to sing You're the One That I Want, I got a very different reaction from the guys on the site.”
Physical. Newton-John's biggest single, came out in 1981. It was hugely popular, holding the number one position on Billboard's hit list for 10 weeks straight. Later, it was named the song of the year. A video linked to it won a Grammy as well.
In 1992, Newton-John's father died and she suffered from breast cancer. Three years later, she and actor Matt Lattanzi ended their marriage. And, a years-long relationship with cameraman Patrick McDermott ended mysteriously when he went missing during a 2005 fishing trip in California. “He was lost at sea, and nobody really knows what happened. But those are the things in life you have to accept and let go, ”she said.
Newton-John was born in Britain to Irene Born and Brin Newton-John. The Newton-Johns moved to Australia when Olivia was 5, but she returned to England in her teens and lived with her mother after her parents divorced. She had early dreams of becoming an animal doctor. After winning singing competitions in high school, she decided on a career in music instead.

22、More than half of the world’s wild tiger population are threatened by roads built dangerously close to their habitats, and giant projects planned across Asia could put tigers at even greater risk.
Tigers’ habitats have reduced by 40% since 2006, leaving fewer than 4000 of the animals in the wild. Those living near roads are particularly attacked because they are at risk of being hit by vehicles, have more difficulties finding food, and are easier to be killed. Using a global dataset, Neil Carter at the University of Michigan and his colleagues calculated that the tiger’s current range, which mostly distributed in south and south-east Asia, contains 134,000 kilometres of roads. They estimated that 57% of tigers live within 5 kilometres of these roads, which is considered dangerously close.
This close to roads could be decreasing the world’s tiger population by more than20%, the researchers’ modelling suggests. Nearly 24,000 kilometres of new roads are planned for construction within the tiger’s range by 2050, which will make it even harder for the animals to avoid these risks.
“New roads could be made more tiger-friendly by building them away from key tiger populations, banning overnight traffic, installing road signs to warn drivers of the presence of tigers, and building tiger-friendly crossings so that wild animals can safely cross forests on both sides of the road,” says Carter. These have been built on roads and highways in Malaysia.
In 2010, all 13 countries with wild tiger populations committed to a plan to double the tiger population by 2022. By 2016, research suggested that the global wild tiger population stopped declining and had increased. “Building tiger-friendly roads will be crucial to reaching this goal,” says Carter.
【1】What does paragraph 2 mainly show?
A．Tigers are endangered species.
B．Tigers are too lazy to go around.
C．Tigers’ habitats have been threatened.
D．The tigers’ population has decreased a lot.
【2】What’s Carter’s suggestion about increasing the tiger population?
A．Building fewer new roads.
B．Building protection areas for tigers.
C．Building special roads for tigers to go through.
D．Improving the living conditions of tigers.
【3】What attitude does Carter have towards the future of tigers?
A．Worried.
B．Optimistic.
C．Conservative.
D．Critical.
【4】What is the main idea of the text?
A．How to protect tigers.
B．How to build tiger-friendly roads.
C．Wild tiger population will increase.
D．Road-building threatens the tigers’ habitats.
23、 Sixth formers are to be quizzed on whether they can cook five hot meals and how often they should change their sheets, as part of a government-backed scheme to prepare them for university.
Ministers are urging schools to put on special workshops for students aged 16―18 to ensure they feel comfortable with the prospect of leaving home. The course, designed by the university accommodation provider Unite Students, will teach pupils how to manage their finances and how to live independently.
According to the course materials, teachers should ask students questions which may not have occurred to them, such as “what is the price of a liter of milk?” and “list 5 hot meals you can cook from scratch” and “how often will you wash your sheets once you move out of home?”
Damian Hinds, the Education Secretary, said, “We are all very conscious that moving away from home and going to university is one of the most exciting things that happens in your life but it can also be very daunting.” Mr. Hinds said that when he got to university, he discovered he had “relied on my mum more than I realized I did”, adding, “I wish I could have cooked better.”
Earlier this year, ministers set up a new task force called the Education Transitions Network, which includes representatives from Universities UK, UCAS and the National Union of Students. It is part of a drive by the Department for Education to address the rise in students who report mental health issues during their time at university.
Data released earlier this year showed that the number of students declaring mental health problems on arrival at university has surged. Figures obtained showed a 73 percent rise between 2014―2015 and 2017―2018 in students stating that they had a condition such as depression or anxiety before starting their courses.
【1】What can we learn about the course?
A.It encourages students to leave home.
B.It is designed by the university students.
C.It helps students get ready for their college life.
D.It allows teachers to ask students familiar questions.
【2】Why does the author mention Damian in Paragraph 4?
A.To show the joy of campus life. B.To list the contents of the course.
C.To prove the necessity of the course. D.To present the importance of college life.
【3】Which of the following best explains “surged” underlined in the last paragraph?
A.Increased. B.Dropped. C.Doubled. D.Remained.
24、Environmental conditions experienced by parent plants can influence offspring performance through parental effects induced(感应的) by DNA. The offspring can also be influenced by environmental conditions experienced by their parents via soil legacy(遗产) effects due to changes in the composition of soil.
We conducted a two-phase experiment with five genotypes(基因型) of a clonal plant. In the first phase, we grew parent plants of each genotype under two light conditions and two DNA treatments. We then collected soils and clonal offspring for each genotype from each of these four treatments and measured soil properties. In the second phase, we grew the offspring from each of the four treatments in the four different soils, under the two light conditions.
When grown under environmental light condition and in soil from environmental parents, offspring produced by environmental parents grew larger than offspring produced by shaded parents when the parents were treated with water. This difference was smaller when the parents were treated with 5-7°C, and disappeared when the offspring were grown in soil from shaded parents. The growth difference was also observed when the offspring were grown under shaded condition and in soil from shaded parents. However, this difference was greater when the parents were treated with 5-7°C, and disappeared when the offspring were grown in soil from environmental parents.
Our results show that light condition experienced by parents can influence offspring responses to light through both parental effects and soil legacies. The parental effects were mediated(调节) by changes in DNA and the soil legacies. These impacts may eventually influence the ecological and evolutionary track of clonal plant populations.
【1】What is the text mainly about?
A．Environmental conditions are important to offspring performance.
B．Offspring performance can be controlled by DNA and the soil legacies.
C．Environmental conditions experienced by parent plants can influence offspring.
D．Light condition experienced by parents can influence offspring responses to light.
【2】How did the researchers get the result?
A．They carried out a survey.
B．They conducted an experiment.
C．They analyzed existing data.
D．They collected information from others.
【3】What can we learn from Paragraph 3?
A．Growth difference only happens under environmental light condition.
B．Offspring of environmental parents grow smaller than offspring of shaded parents.
C．No growth difference appears when offspring are grown in soil from shaded parents.
D．Growth difference varies when parents are treated with 5-7°C under different conditions.
【4】Where is the text most likely from?
A．A diary.
B．A magazine.
C．A novel.
D．A notebook.
