21、 The best and most-commonly used sources for the pills we have are oily fish like salmon（畦）， mackerel and sardines. Many environmentalists fear that some species are being over fished for this purpose. We may have an endless voracity for fish oil, but we don't have an endless supply of fish.
Menhaden, which is described as “a big-headed, smelly, foot-long fish" , is in great danger. Although prized for dinner in the 18th century, the species has become the unknown victim of the fish oil business 9 which presents us with potential sea fish. Menhaden filter-feed almost entirely on algae （海藻）and is especially good at changing it into-3 fatty acids, which make them a good target for fish oil companies.
One particular company, Protein of Houston, has been fishing 90 percent of the country' s menhaden. It's become such a big problem that 13 of the 15 Atlantic states have banned the company * s boats from their waters. Yet the company is still allowed to fish in North Carolina and Virginia, as well as federal waters; the company * s efforts result in the removing of half a billion menhaden every year.
Aside from running out a public natural resource for a company，s private profit, the damage to the ecosystem is cause for alarm. The muddy brown color of the Long Island Sound is the direct result of lacking water nitration （过滤）一a job that was once done by menhaden.
Menhaden keep the ocean waters of the Atlantic and Gulf coasts clean. A menhaden filters four to six gallons of water of algae in a minute, which prevents underwater dead zones.
Measures should be taken to avoid the over fished situation. Plant seeds such as flax seed, chiaseeds, hemp seeds, and sesame seeds — and particularly their oils — are good vegetarian sources of omega-3 fatty acids, although the mix of specific acids is different from which one can get with fish.
【1】Why does menhaden become a good fish for companies to make pills?
A.It is good at forming-3 fatty acids.
B.It feeds mainly on the harmful algae.
C.It is well-known for its rich protein.
D.It is relatively easy for companies to catch.
【2】What does the underlined word "voracity" in paragraph 1 mean?
A.trouble B.shortage
C.resource D.appetite
【3】What does the author intend to suggest us in the last paragraph?
A.To grow more plants for their seeds to make oil.
B.To use some substitutes instead of more fish oil.
C.To call on the government to make laws in fishing.
D.To take part in more activities to protect the environment.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A.The broken natural ecosystem. B.The process of making fish oil.
C.Bad effects of fish oil making. D.How to use natural resources.
22、
It was one of the hardest weeks in Michelle Burleson’s life. Her beloved 13-year-old dog, Budgie Lou, just died. There seemed to be nothing in the world that could reduce her pain until she heard a faint (微弱的) knocking on her door.
“When I heard the knock, I opened my back door, but saw nothing until I looked down to see a skinny little squirrel looking up at me”, Burleson told The Dodo.
“I noticed the squirrel was thin, so I found a handful of nuts and threw them on the patio (露台).”
She assumed that would be the end of it, but that same evening the squirrel returned. The frightened animal ran away when Burleson tried to approach her. But it didn’t take long for the two to establish a routine(常规).
“She showed up the next morning at sunrise and again at sundown, like clockwork every day,” Burleson said. “Her daily visits gave me something to look forward to.” Burleson named the squirrel Stymie. “We slowly started trusting each other more and more,” Burleson said. “At first, I was scared she might bite me or something, but she was always very gentle.”
Stymie began treating Burleson’s home as if it were her own, drinking out of Burleson’s old dog bowl and sleeping in the dog bed. “I lived at the beach so I would often leave the door open, but when I didn’t, she’d climb up to knock on the window outside my bedroom,” Burleson said. “There’s no way I would’ve felt better without Stymie showing up one day and putting a little joy back in my life.”
The little squirrel probably has no idea that she changed someone’s life forever. “She was a really great friend at one of the lowest points of my life,” Burleson said. “All I know is that animals are the best.”
【1】How did Burleson feel the week before the squirrel came to her life?
A．Painful.
B．Shocked.
C．Relaxed.
D．Hopeful.
【2】What name did Burleson give to the squirrel?
A．Michelle.
B．Budgie.
C．Dodo.
D．Stymie.
【3】What would the squirrel do when Burleson did not leave the door open?
A．Come for a second time.
B．Knock on the window.
C．Sleep on the patio.
D．Eat the dog food.
【4】What can we learn from the story?
A．Squirrels are the best choice of pets.
B．Names mean a lot to squirrels.
C．People find animals difficult to deal with.
D．Animals can change people’s life.
23、It’s possible that your phone’s face-unlock might finally be able to work while you’re wearing a mask. Researchers have found that facial recognition algorithms (算法) are getting better at recognizing faces in masks, according to data published on Tuesday by the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST). Using independent testing of more than 150 separate facial recognition algorithms, the news report suggests masks may not be as big a problem for facial recognition systems as initially thought.
When NIST first examined masks’ effect on facial recognition in July 2020, it found that algorithms weren’t great at identifying faces with masks. “Face recognition can make errors, which can implicate people for crimes they haven’t committed,” writes the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF). “It is particularly bad at recognizing African Americans and other ethnic minorities, women, and young people.” But the pandemic has given developers plenty of time to focus on the mask problem, and NIST’s data shows that facial recognition algorithms are getting better at working with masked faces. “After the pandemic, some developers have submitted algorithms which show significantly improved accuracy and are now among the most accurate in our test,” the report reads. NIST’s public ranking for facial recognition tests bears out this report. Eight different algorithms now hold false rates below 0.05 percent.
Nevertheless, there remain a number of limitations to the study. NIST researchers did not employ actual images of masked faces. Instead, they applied masks digitally to ensure consistency across the sample. As a result, “We were not able to get a thorough simulation of the endless variations in color, design, shape, texture, and ways masks can be worn,” the report states. The digital mask was a blue surgical mask covering the full width of the face, but testers noted that performance varied considerably depending on how high the mask was placed on the face.
【1】What did people use to think of recognizing masked faces with facial recognition systems?
A．Effective.
B．Impossible.
C．Easy.
D．Unreliable.
【2】What does the underlined phrase “bear out” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A．Make.
B．Prove.
C．Deny.
D．Oppose.
【3】What can be learned about the study?
A．The way to wear masks may affect recognition accuracy.
B．The design of a mask makes no difference to facial recognition.
C．Facial recognition failure rates were quite low at the beginning.
D．The researchers adopted real surgical masks to ensure the accuracy.
【4】Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A．Limitations of Facial Recognition Software
B．The Challenge of Recognizing Masked Faces
C．The improvement in Facial Recognition Algorithms
D．Different Applications of Facial Recognition Technology
24、Who’s in control of your life? Who is pulling your string? For the majority of us, it’s other people—society, colleagues, friends, family or our religious community. We learned this way of operating when we were very young, of course. We were brainwashed. We discovered that feeling important and feeling accepted was a nice experience and so we learned to do everything we could to make other people like us. As Oscar Wilde puts it, “Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else’s opinions, their lives a mimicry(模仿), their passions a quotation.”
So when people tell us how wonderful we are, it makes us feel good. We long for this good feeling like a drug. Therefore, we are so eager for the approval of others that we live unhappy and limited lives, failing to do the things we really want to. Just as drug addicts and alcoholics live worsened lives to keep getting their fix (一剂毒品). We worsen our own existence to get our own constant fix of approval.
But, just as with any drug, there is a price to pay. The price of the approval drug is freedom—the freedom to be ourselves. The truth is that we cannot control what other people think. People have their own agenda, and they come with their own baggage and, in the end, they're more interested in themselves than in you. Furthermore, if we try to live by the opinions of others, we will build our life on sinking sand. Everyone has a different way of thinking, and people change their opinions all the time. The person who tries to please everyone will only end up getting exhausted and probably pleasing no one in the process.
So how can we take back control? I think there’s only one way—make a conscious decision to stop caring what other people think. We should guide ourselves by means of a set of values---not values imposed（强加）from the outside by others, but innate values which come from within. If we are driven by these values and not by the changing opinions and value systems of others, we will live a more authentic, effective, purposeful and happy life.
【1】What Oscar Wilde says implies that _____________.
A. most people’s thoughts are controlled by others
B. most people have a variety of thoughts
C. we have thoughts similar to those of others
D. other people’s thoughts are more important
【2】What does the author try to argue in the third paragraph ?
A. We need to pay for what we want to get.
B. Changing opinions may cost us our freedom.
C. We may lose ourselves to please others.
D. The price of taking drugs is freedom.
【3】 In order to live a happy, effective and purposeful life, we should _________.
A. care about others’ opinions and change opinions all the time
B. guide ourselves by means of values from the outside
C. stick to our own values
D. persuade others to accept our opinions
【4】It can be concluded from the passage that __________.
A. it’s important to accept others’ opinions
B. it’s better to do what we like
C. we shouldn't change our own opinions
D. we shouldn’t care what others think too much
