21、The Asian elephant has been respected for centuries and is still used today for ceremonies and religious purposes. It is respected, not only because it plays a role in Asian culture and religion, but also because it is a key biological species in the tropical forests of Asia.
The Asian elephant is the largest land mammal in Asian. It is smaller than the African elephant, with relatively smaller ears. Asian elephants have a single “finger” on the upper lip of the long trunk, while African elephants have a second on the lower tip. A number of adult male Asian elephants have no tooth, and the percentage of males carrying ivory(象牙）is different from only about 5% in Sri Lanka to 90% in south India. Asian elephants keep their ears in constant motion in order to free the heat they produce. The species is reported to have well-developed hearing, vision, and smell , and they are also fine swimmers.
Asian elephants prefer to convey something to form groups surrounding 6 to 7 related females that are led by the oldest female. Like African elephants, these groups occasionally join others to form herds, although these associations are relatively temporary.
More than two thirds of the day may be spent feeding on grasses, but large amounts of tree bark, roots, leaves and small stems are also eaten. Crops such as bananas, rice and sugar plants are favored foods. Besides, they need to drink at least twice a day so the source of water is quite important.
The Asian elephant used to live from modern Irap and Syria to the Yellow River in China at first, but it is now found only from India to Vietnam, with a tiny population in the extreme southwest of China’s Yunnan Province. More than 100,000 Asian elephants may have existed at the start of the 20th century. The population is estimated to have fallen by at least 50% over the last 60-75 years.
【1】What can we learn from Paragraph2?
A.The Asian male elephant is the largest animal in the world.
B.The population of Asian male elephants with ivory varies by district.
C.The Asian elephant has two “fingers” on the lips of the long trunk.
D.Asian elephants continuously move their ears to warm themselves.
【2】The Asian elephants are most likely to fed themselves______.
A. in a very large forest
B. in the field with leaves and stems
C. close to a river with grasses and leaves
D. on the hillsides with grasses and trees
【3】What makes the author worried in the last paragraph?
A. That there are fewer and fewer Asian elephants.
B. That Asian elephants originally ranged more widely.
C. That Asian elephants may suffer some diseases.
D. That there was too much killing in the last century.
【4】The passage introduces Asian elephants mainly in the aspects of ______.
a.the diet habit
b. the social structure
c. the life circle
d. the physical description
e. the skin color
f. the population and distribution

22、Listening to birds and water can lower stress and improve mood, study finds. Researchers have long known there are benefits from being in nature. Living around trees can help you live longer. Walking in the woods is good for your mood. Being near water can have positive effects on your well-being.
A new study finds that natural sounds offer health benefits too. There is plenty of evidence that spending time in natural areas is good for our health — but typically this research is done from a visual perspective, but we were curious what the role is of sounds we hear in these spaces.
Some examples they found reported in those studies included decreased pain, lowered stress, improved mood, and better cognitive（认知的）function. With these results in hand, they then listened to audio recordings from 251 sites in 68 national parks across the United States.
The sites with the most natural sounds and the lowest man-made sounds were located in Alaska, Hawaii, and the Pacific Northwest and were far from urban areas. Only three locations with high natural sounds and low noise pollution were within 100 kilometers（62 miles）of urban areas.
However, despite human-made noises being heard most of the time at sites in urban locations, birds were still heard about 60% of the time and geophysical sounds like wind and rain were heard about 19% of the time.
Not all natural sounds deliver the same benefits, the researchers found. For example, they discovered that the sounds of water had the largest impact on improving positive emotions and health outcomes, while bird sounds ease stress and annoyance. And the sounds of both birds and water were heard more than 23% of the time in the national park recording sites.
Interestingly, there was also some evidence that natural sounds have benefits over silence. There was also evidence that more different types of natural sounds — more types of birds singing rather than just one type of bird — have benefits over fewer sounds.
【1】What do we know about the ideal sites mentioned in Paragraph 4?
A．They are away from cities.
B．They have no noise pollution.
C．They have bird songs most of the time.
D．They are within 62 miles of urban areas.
【2】What sound helps reduce pressure most?

B．Rain beating.
C．Wind blowing.
D．Bird sounds.
【3】Which of the following brings more benefits to us?
A．The silence of nature.
B．The sounds of different birds.
C．The diversity of natural sounds.
D．Natural sounds fixed with noises.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．It Is Beneficial to Live Close to Water
B．We Are Surrounded by All Kinds of Sounds
C．The Sounds of Nature Affect Your Well-being
D．Man-made Noise Pollution Is Harmful to Our Health

24、C
People are being lured(引诱) onto Facebook with the promise of a fun, free service, and don’t realize that they’re paying for it by giving up loads of personal information. Facebook then attempts to make money by selling their data to advertisers that want to send targeted messages.
Most Facebook users don’t realize this is happening. Even if they know what the company is up to, they still have no idea what they’re paying for Facebook, because people don’t really know what their personal details are worth.
The biggest problem, however, is that the company keeps changing the rules. Early on, you could keep everything private. That was the great thing about Facebook—you could create your own little private network. Last year, the company changed its privacy rules so that many things—your city, your photo, your friends’ names—were set, by default（默认）, to be shared with everyone on the Internet.
According to Facebook’s vice president Elliot Schrage, the company is simply making changes to improve its service, and if people don’t share information, they have a “less satisfying experience.”
Some critics think this is more about Facebook looking to make more money. Its original business model, which involved selling ads and putting them at the side of the page, totally failed. Who wants to look at ads when they’re online connecting with their friends?
The privacy issue has already landed Facebook in hot water in Washington. In April, Senator Charles Schumer called on Facebook to change its privacy policy. He also urged the Commission to set guidelines for social-networking sites. “I think the senators rightly communicated that we had not been clear about what the new products were and how people could choose to use them or not to use them,” Schrage admits.
I suspect that whatever Facebook has done so far to invade（侵犯）our privacy, it’s only the beginning，which is why I’m considering deactivating（撤销） my account. Facebook is a handy site, but I’m upset by the idea that my information is in the hands of people I don’t trust. That is too high a price to pay.
【1】What do we learn about Facebook from the first paragraph?
A. It is a website that sends messages to targeted users.
B. It makes money by putting on advertisements.
C. It earns money by selling its user’s personal data
D. It provides a lot of information to its users
【2】What does the author say about most Facebook users?
A. They don’t know their personal data enriches Facebook
B. They are unwilling to give up their personal information
C. They don’t identify themselves when using website
D. They care very little about their personal information
【3】Why does Facebook make changes to its rules according to Elliot Schrage?
A. To help its users make more friends
B. To obey the Federal guidelines
C. To make money by attracting more users
D. To offer better service to its users
【4】What does Senator Charles Schumer argue for?
A. Setting guidelines for advertising on websites
B. Setting rules for social-networking sites
C. Stopping sharing user’s personal information
D. Removing ads from all social-networking sites
【5】Why does the author plan to stop using his Facebook account?
A. He is dissatisfied with its service.
B. He finds many of its users untrustworthy.
C. He doesn’t want his personal data abused.
D. He is upset by its frequent rule changes.

26、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
It was a chilly, brisk morning, and Jason and his friends hiked quickly through the woods. Jason watched the river flow alongside him, fascinated by the rapid water. He had a keen interest in anything fast-race cars, horses, or rivers.
Jason turned to Tanya. “The river is fast,” he said, “but I can go even faster.” Then Jason took off to race the river along the shore. Suddenly, he tripped over a tree log, tumbled (滚落), and rolled into the river.
Tanya screamed in terror as Jason fell. When Jason cried out for help, waving his arms wildly, Tanya realized Jason was in serious trouble. Mr. Green, the group leader, had also seen what had happened and came running. Quickly, Mr. Green and the rest of the group ran alongside the river. Though they tried to catch up with Jason, he was always just out of their reach.
Jason kept his head above water as he floated downstream. Fortunately, he was a strong swimmer and managed to move easily with the water current. At one point, the river curved, and the water flow slowed down a bit. When he caught sight of a large rock ahead of him, he held out his arms and waited to grab it. It worked, and Jason’s movement down the river stopped!
Jason observed his surroundings and realized he was not far from shore. He felt he could swim there easily. He took a deep breath and got ready to push off until something appeared from behind a tee. It was a big bear.
Jason was both surprised and scared. He knew it wasn’t safe to swim to shore now, and he didn’t wish to make the bear’s acquaintance. If they met, he would be no match for the powerful creature. He shivered and held on more tightly to the rock.
Jason watched the bear and it seemed to be staring right back at him. Suddenly, it began to walk to the edge of the river, and Jason grew scared. Jason looked around and noticed tall reds (芦苇), which looked like giant straws, growing in the water.
