21、Brian really wanted a new bike like his friends had. His bike was old and was too small for him. A new bike would cost $110. But all he had was $33. Where could he get the rest of the money?
Brian did a lot of thinking. His birthday was still five months away. He couldn't wait that long. What could he do to get the money? Maybe he could clean the house for his mom. Maybe his sister would lend him the money. While he was thinking, the phone rang. Mrs. Wilson's dog had gotten out again. She asked Brian if he could find it for her. Brian was glad to help Mrs. Wilson. She was getting so old and couldn't run after the dog anymore.
After catching the dog, Brian returned it to Mrs. Wilson. She was so thankful that she gave two dollars to him. Brian thanked Mrs. Wilson, and suddenly he had an idea. He would set up a pet service. He could take care of his neighbors' pets when they were away. In his neighborhood, there were at least 12 dogs he could look after, a few cats, and even some fish. Brian would have a new bike soon.

22、 One way to divide up the world is between people who like to explore new possibilities and those who stick to the tried and true. In fact, the tension between betting on a sure thing and taking a chance that something unexpected and wonderful might happen troubles human and nonhuman animals alike.
Take songbirds, for example. The half-dozen finches (雀) resting at my desk feeder all summer know exactly what they'll find there: black sunflower seed, and lots of it. Meanwhile, the warblers (莺) exploring the woods nearby don't depend on this predictable food source in fine weather. As food hunters, they enjoy less exposure to predators and, as a bonus, the chance to meet the perfect mate flying from tree to tree.
This "explore-exploit" trade-off (权衡) has prompted scores of lab studies, computer simulations and algorithms (算法) trying to determine which strategy brings in the greatest reward. Now a new study of human behavior in the real world, published last month in the journal Nature Communications, shows that in good times, there isn't much of a difference between pursuing novelty and sticking to the status quo (原状) When the going gets tough, however, explorers are the winners.
The new study, led by Shay O'Farrell and James Sanchirico, both of the University of California, Davis, along with Orr Spiegel of Tel Aviv University, examined the routes and results of nearly 2,500 commercial fishing trips in the Gulf of Mexico over a period of 2.5 years. The study focused on "bottom longline" fishing, a system where hundreds of lines are attached to a horizontal bar that is then lowered to reach the sea bed. Dr. O'Farrell explained the procedure this way: Go to a location and put the line down. Stay for a few hours. The lines are a mile long and have a buoy (浮标) at either end. When they pull that up, they assess the catch, and then decide if they will stay or move on to a different spot.
Over two years of collecting data under various climate conditions, the researchers discovered that the fishermen were fairly consistent. "The exploiters would go to a smaller set of locations over and over, and go with what they know," Dr. O'Farrell said. The explorers would constantly try a wider range; they'd sample new places.
In the long run, there wasn't a huge difference in payoffs between the two groups, perhaps due to the sharing information between fishing crews, said Dr. O'Farrell. But in challenging times, the study's message was clear: "You can try new things in the face of uncertainty."
【1】The author takes the songbird as an example to indicate that _____.
A.like birds, humans tend to be satisfied with the predictable
B.some birds are used to looking for food instead of being fed
C.there exist the conservative and the adventurous like humans
D.birds choose different ways to look for food in different weather
【2】According to the third paragraph, people who mastered "explore-exploit" trade-off _____.
A.will choose either to pursue novelty or keep the status quo
B.are ready to risk in time of difficulty
C.will be tough in good times and bad times
D.will grow to be experts in lab studies
【3】Which can be inferred from the new study led by Shay O'Farrell and James Sanchirico?
A.The two groups react to the unexpected differently.
B.The "explore-exploit" trade-off helps scientific research a lot.
C.The exploiters are used to fishing based solely on their experience.
D.The explorers tend to achieve more than the exploiters in the long run.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for passage?
A.How the Exploiter differs from the Explorer
B.How to Become a Productive Fisherman
C.What is "Explore-Exploit" Trade-off
D.When to take risks matters
23、Different parts of a health care system have different focuses. A hospital's stroke (中风) unit monitors blood flow in the brain. The cardiac (心脏的) unit is interested in that same flow, but through and from the heart. Each collection of equipment and data is effective in its own field. Thus, like the story of blind men feeling an elephant, modern health care offers many separate pictures of a patient, but rarely a useful united one.
On top of all this, the instruments that doctors use to monitor health are often expensive, as is the training required to use them. That combined cost is too high for the medical system to scan the body regularly for early signs of illness, so patients are at risk of heart disease or a stroke.
An unusual research project called AlzEye, run by Moorfields Eye Hospital in London, in cooperation with University College London (UCL), may change this. It is attempting to use the eye as a window through which signals about the health of other organs could be discovered. The doctors in charge of it, Siegfried Wagner and Pearse Keane, are studying Moorfields' database of eye scans, which offers a detailed picture of the health of the retina (视网膜).
The project will go a step further: with the information about other aspects of patients' health collected from other hospitals around England, doctors will be able to look for more accurate signs of disease through eye scans.
The Moorfields’ data set has lots of linked cases to work with — far more than any similar project. For instance, the U.K. Biobank, one of the world’s leading databases of medical data about individual people, contains 631 cases of a “major cardiac adverse event”. The Moorfields’ data contain about 12,000 such cases. The Biobank has data on about 1,500 stroke patients. Moorfields has 11,900. For the disease, dementia (老年痴呆), on which the Moorfields’ project will focus to start with, the data set holds 15,100 cases. The only comparable study has 86.
Wagner and Keane are searching for patterns in the eye that show the emergence of disease elsewhere in the body. If such patterns could be recognized reliably, the potential impact would be huge.
【1】Why does the author mention “the story of blind men feeling an elephant” in Paragraph 1?
A．To claim the ineffectiveness of our health care system.
B．To tell the similarity in various health care units.
C．To explain the limitation of modem health care.
D．To show the complexity of patients' pictures.
【2】How does AlzEye work?
A．By thoroughly examining one’s body organs.
B．By identifying one’s state of health through eye scans.
C．By helping doctors discover one’s disease of the eye.
D．By comparing the eye-scan data from different hospitals.
【3】What can be inferred about the Moorfields’ project from Paragraph 5?
A．It takes advantage of abundantly available medical data.
B．It makes the collection of medical data more convenient.
C．It improves the Moorfields' competitiveness in the medical field.
D．It strengthens data sharing between the Moorfields and the Biobank.
24、I have happy memories of trips to Europe, but my trip to Romania (罗马尼亚) was unique. When I was there as recalled, it was like being in a “James Bond” movie. My husband was born there, but his family sent him to study in Italy. Before he left, his mother told him, “As long as I write in pencil, don’t come back. When I write to you in pen, it’s safe to return.” But she never wrote in pen.
My husband lived a poor life in Italy. He applied to go to America, but there was a limit in number and he was rejected. He was accepted by Canada, though, and from Calgary he jumped onto a train to San Francisco. There he stayed —illegally. He became a US citizen when we got married. By then he was a charming European with a Romanian accent and the manners of a prince.
With seven years’ experience in America, a US passport, and two children later, he felt it was safe to visit Romania. He hadn’t seen his mother, two sisters, and two brothers since he was sixteen. We flew to Munich, Germany; picked up the German-made car we had purchased in the States; and drove to Romania via Austria and Hungary. When we reached Bucharest, the capital city of Romania, his family was waiting outside his sister’s house to greet us. After a long time of hugging, kissing, and crying, his family also hugged me, the American wife with two young children. They had great interest in me. Few Americans visited Romania at that time, and most Romanians had little chance to travel. I had brought an English-Romanian dictionary with me and managed to communicate, using only nouns, with no verbs. My Romanian improved, and the family’s stock of English words increased, but mostly I spoke in broken, New York-accented Romanian. The sisters loved their gifts of skirts and purses, the brothers loved the radios, and the children loved the candy. We made side trips to the Black Sea and enjoyed sightseeing in beautiful mountains. Dining at outdoor cafes to the music of violins was fantastic with fancy flavor, but nothing was as special as family dinners.
Romania didn’t have many dry cleaners. Most homes had old-fashioned washing machines but no dryers, and it was a hot summer. My husband’s relatives didn’t want to risk dirtying their clothes. Their solution was as simple as it was shocking: the women only wore their bras(胸罩) and slips (衬裙) at dinner table. The men were eating without shirts. They all had jobs, so time was precious. Having dinner without proper clothes was a small inconvenience compared with the effort of washing clothes —at least in my husband’s home, perhaps all across Romania. I, of course, having just met them, ate fully clothed. I washed my clothes by hand and hung them outdoors to dry.
On the last night of our three-week stay, we had a large family dinner. I was tired of washing my clothes. So I pulled my dress over my head and placed it on the chair behind me. All men and women applauded for my action. Even with my poor Romanian, I understood that they were saying, “She’s part of our family now.”
My children were 4 and 5 at the time, but they still have memories of that trip. They know how to say, “Good morning.” and “There are apricots (杏子) on the tree.” I can still say, “Do you speak Romanian?”and “I swim in the Black Sea.” But most of all, I remember sitting at a long dining-room table in my bra, enjoying meatballs with fresh garlic .

26、阅读下面的短文，按照要求写一篇英语短文。
James Bender, in his book How to Talk Well tells the story of a farmer who grew award-winning corn. Each year he won a blue ribbon. One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learned something interesting about how he grew it.
The reporter discovered that the farmer shared his seed corn with his neighbors. “How can you afford to share your best seed corn with your neighbors when they are entering corn in competition with yours each year?” The reporter asked. “Why,” said the farmer, “didn’t you know? The wind picks up pollen(花粉) from the ripening corn and carries it from field to field. If my neighbors grow bad corn, cross-pollination(异花受粉) will slowly reduce the quality of my corn. If I am to grow good corn, I must help my neighbors grow good corn. ”
He is very much aware of the connectedness of life. His corn cannot improve unless his neighbors’ corn also improves. The lesson for each of us is this: If we are to grow good corn, we must help our neighbors grow good corn.
