21、 Across the United Kingdom, as the COVID-19 crisis has bitten deeper, its citizens have started a new practice: Emerging from self-isolation every Thursday night at 8 p.m. to clap, cheer, and bang pots and pans to show support for the country’s front-line doctors and nurses.
But as the death toll today hit a single-day U.K. record of 980-and with the peak death rate still estimated to be two weeks away-the crisis caused by the scale of the pandemic has been worsened here by a new degree of political uncertainty. Prime Minister Boris Johnson was admitted to the hospital on Sunday and has spent his days and nights in intensive care fighting the virus, surrounded by the doctors and nurses of the National Health Service.
The U.K. is not alone in showing new found public affection for key workers, nor in facing an unprecedented public health emergency that has, in Europe, especially affected Italy, Spain, and France. A recent U.K. government appeal for 250,000 volunteers to help the NHS (National Health Service) yielded an army of 750,000 would-be helpers.
But the pandemic finds the U.K. at a politically uncertain moment, as a nation finally emerging from three and a half years of political issue over its chaotic departure from the European Union. A December election that gave a decisive victory to Mr. Johnson and the ruling Conservative Party added clarity to a Brexit mandate and was seen by many as a potential first step in healing deep divisions in Britain’s political and social structure.
Acknowledging the impact of the coronavirus on daily lives, Queen Elizabeth II, in a rare address on Sunday, praised the “national spirit” and thanked NHS and care workers, whose “every hour” of hard work “brings us closer to a return to a more normal time.” Calling on citizens to “remain united and resolute” to overcome the pandemic, she sought to provide comfort. “While we may have still more to endure, better days will return We will meet again,” she said.
【1】What contributed to worsening the current crisis in the U.K?
A.The pandemic of COVID-19. B.Political instability.
C.The vote for Brexit. D.The December election.
【2】The British showed widespread support to the fight against coronavirus EXCEPT by .
A.clapping, cheering, and banging pots and pans every Thursday night
B.advocating volunteers to help the NHS
C.organizing 750,000 helpers to join the army
D.praising the “national spirit” in Queen’s speech
【3】It can be inferred from the passage that .
A.The death toll set a new single-day record and the peak death had arrived
B.Prime Minister Boris Johnson was receiving good medical treatment
C.the COVID-19 has been found in European history
D.Conservative Party has healed the deep political and social divisions
【4】Where might the passage come from?
A.A noticeboard. B.A private e-mail.
C.A research paper. D.A newspaper.

23、 They call it the “rule of 150”. An anthropologist(人类学家)called Robin Dunbar made a study of 21 different primitive societies. He found that they all lived in villages of around 150 people. Then he asked people living in modern cities to make a list of all the people they knew well enough to talk to. Each of them made a list of around 150 people. Many of us have left village life behind. But the idea of the village has not left us.
Other studies of businesses and army units have shown that when people are forced into groups of over 150 they become inefficient. There are just too many people around to communicate with effectively. It also seems that when our personal “villages” become too small, people feel lonely. We need other people to help us.
Many people see life as a kind of journey. As they travel they pick up things they need. These are friends, a family and jobs. This is a narrow way of looking at things. It does not explain why people who get good jobs and become rich are often unhappy.
Using the “rule of 150”, we can see things differently. Instead of being a lonely traveler, you are the head of your own village. You are responsible for every part of village life. Getting a good job helps with the “economic development of your village. But you also need to pay attention to the social harmony of your village.
Many people think that happiness is about winning a race. The winner gets a great job, a perfect family and a lot of money. The loser should expect to be unhappy. The “rule of 150” teaches us that happiness comes with getting the right balance of relationship in our lives.
In a competitive society it is easy to judge people according to the kind of job they have or how much money they make. In fact, we are all the boss of our own villages. This is a difficult job. It is worthy of your respect.
【1】What does the figure “150” relate to?
A．The size of a group.
B．The number of groups.

【2】What is the author’s opinion about “seeing life as a kind of journey”?
A．It only refers to rich people.
B．It doesn’t include village life.
C．It can’t cover all possibilities in life.
D．It may bring about unhappiness.
【3】What do you do as the head of your own village?
A．Take a long journey with the other villagers.
B．Compete against others to achieve happiness.
C．Use the “rule of 150” to improve the village life.
D．Deal properly with the people and things around you.
【4】What is the “rule of 150” discussed in the text mainly about?
A．The journey of life.
B．Relationship in one’s life.
C．The way to look at things.
D．The competitive society.
24、The latest in cat research reveals that the lovely animal seems to have a basic grasp on both the laws of physics and the ins and outs of cause and effect.
According to a newly published study, cats seem to be able to predict the location of hiding prey (猎物) using both their ears and an inborn (天生的) understanding of how the physical world works.
In a recent experiment, Japanese researchers taped 30 domestic cats reacting to a container that a team member shook. Some containers rattled (发出响声); others did not. When the container was tipped over, sometimes an object fell out and sometimes it didn’t.
It turns out that the cats were remarkably smart about what would happen when a container was tipped over. When an object did not drop out of the bottom of a rattling container, they looked at it for a longer time than they did when the container behaved as expected.
“Cats use a causal-logical understanding of noise or sounds to predict the appearance of invisible objects,” lead researcher Saho Takagi says in a press release. The researchers conclude that cats’ hunting style may have developed based on their common-sense abilities to infer where prey is, using their hearing.
Scientists have explored this idea with other lovely creatures; babies. Like cats, babies appear to engage in what’s called “preferential looking” — looking longer at things that are interesting or unusual than things they perceive as normal.
When babies’ expectations are disturbed in experiments like the ones performed with the cats, they react much like their animal friends. Psychologists have shown that babies apparently expect their world to be consistent with the laws of physics and cause and effect as early as two months of age.
Does the study mean that cats will soon grasp the ins and outs of cause and effect? Maybe. Okay, so cats may not be the next physics faculty members at America’s most important research universities. But by demonstrating their common sense, they’ve shown that the divide between cats and humans may not be that great after all.
【1】What do we learn from a newly published study about cats?
A．They can be trained to understand the physical world.
B．They know what kind of prey might be easier to hunt.
C．They have a natural ability to locate animals they hunt.
D．They are capable of telling which way their prey flees.
【2】What may account for the cats’ response to the noise from the containers?
A．Their inborn sensitivity to noise.
B．Their unusual sense of direction.
C．Their special ability to perceive.
D．Their mastery of cause and effect.
【3】In what way do babies behave like cats?
A．They focus on what appears odd.
B．They view the world as normal.
C．They do what they prefer to do.
D．They are curious about everything.
【4】What can we conclude about cats from the passage?
A．They have higher intelligence than many other animals.
B．They interact with the physical world much like humans.
C．They display extraordinarily high intelligence in hunting.
D．They can aid physics professors in their research work.
