26、Guam is a beautiful, small island in the Pacific Ocean. You’ll find happy songbirds, clear blue water, and leafy forest there. But the small island has a big problem: snakes. There are about 2 million brown tree snakes living in Guam.
The snakes likely arrived in the 1940s. They probably slipped(滑行) unseen onto ships and planes heading to Guam. Once there, the snakes laid eggs. Snake families grew. The snakes have no natural enemies to eat them on Guam. Soon, the island was covered with these snakes.
The brown tree snake has had a devastating effect. The snakes eat birds. There used to be 12 kinds of birds on the island. But these snakes have killed off nine kinds of the birds. The snakes can grow to be 10 feet long. They often bite humans. They climb onto power lines and make the electricity go out. This causes millions of dollars in damage.
Scientists have tried many different ways to control the number of snakes. They have used snake traps and snake-sniffing dogs. Nothing seemed to work. Nothing, that is, until they found a surprising secret weapon: killer mice.
Scientists found out that there is one easy way to kill brown tree snakes. They could give them a medicine called Tylenol. People take Tylenol for headaches and other pains. Even a little bit of Tylenol can kill a brown tree snake.
But how would scientists get the tree snakes to eat Tylenol? They came up with a plan. First, the experts put the medicine into dead mice. Then they attached each mouse to a mini paper parachute(降落伞). Planes dropped the mice over Guam. The parachutes got caught in the trees. The mice became dinner for the snakes that live there.
Has it worked? So far, research shows that there are fewer snakes because of the mice. The worry is that it may be too late to clear the snakes, but Mr. Vice from Guam’s Department of Agriculture says this should not stop the islanders from trying. “Our long-term goal is to kill the snake off completely,” he says.
【1】What can we learn about the brown tree snakes?

29、How many friends do you have? Not counting the hundreds on Facebook or the names gathering dust in your address book. But real friends, the ones cast in stone. The kind who would lend you $100 without asking why, or accommodate you if you were kicked out of your house.
Anthropologist Prof Robin Dunbar feels he can put a number on it: five. No matter how much of a social butterfly you are, you can count your real pals on one hand, he says. To that he says you can add an ideal number of 15 “good friends”, the kind of people you would see in a group and would join for a drink if you bumped into them in the pub, and up to 150 “meaningful contacts”.
Prof Dunbar’s latest research is an exact formula (公式) for friendship: new friendships take 34 hours of one-on-one time to form, in which you’d spend an ideal duration of three hours and four minutes per interaction together over the course of six months. Note that this is to turn an acquaintance into a friend, not one of the close friends that makes up your inner circle of five—to do that, you’d have to devote 90 hours, according to a 2018 University of Kansas study.
According to the experts, the pandemic years have changed the number and nature of our friendship. It gave people more grounds for disagreement: over adherence ( 遵 守 ) to social-distancing rules, for example. Plenty of people lost relationships in the cracks. “We are always on the outlook for new and better friends, but lockdown has had a big effect in making people reevaluate,” says Dunbar. “Perhaps they’ve decided the time has come to part with some and therefore there’s an empty space to fill.”
The forecast for British friendship was already gloomy before the pandemic. Three million people said they feel lonely “often or always”, according to the Government’s 2019 community life survey. But the average British adult lost four friends over the course of the pandemic, according to the poll.
【1】Who are real friends?
A．Those who we keep in contact.
B．Those who are interested in stones.
C．the one who is extremely generous.
D．Friends on social networks.
【2】How long does it take to form close friendships according to the formula?
A．34 hours of one-on-one time.
B．90 hours of interaction.
C．Six months of one-on-one time.
D．Three hours and four minutes of interaction.
【3】Which of the following might Prof Dunbar agree with?
A．There is a limit to the number of real friends in your life.
B．It’s much easier for people to make friends online.
C．The more friends you make, the happier your life will be.
D．The more sociable you are, the more real friends you can make.
【4】What might people argue about during the pandemic?
A．Whether to part with some old friends.
B．How to tackle loneliness during the pandemic.
C．Whether to obey social distancing.
D．How to make better friends.

31、Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in each blank with a proper word given in the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one more word than you need.
New Year’s Resolutions (决心)
It’s January 1, the day when many people around the world announce their New Year’s resolutions. In theory, a new year should be the time when people change their habits. In 【1】, it doesn’t work that way.
There are some advantages to choosing January 1 to start new habits. For one thing, it comes right after several holidays. And for many people, holidays are 【2】with food, often food that isn’t very healthy. After a month or so of lots of eating, people begin to realize that they need to 【3】. It’s no wonder that losing weight is one of the most 【4】resolutions every year!
While many people’s 【5】to change is real, most New Year’s resolutions don’t last all year, or even all month. One survey indicated that the average resolution only lasts three and a half weeks! For many, an honest resolution might be: “I will eat healthy food until I start longing for dessert, and then I’ll go back to eating 【6】.”
One common problem with New Year’s resolutions is that they aren’t specific enough. Maybe you 【7】to eat healthier or be friendlier. But if you don’t have a plan, how will you know if you’ve reached your goal? Generally, resolutions tend to fade (渐弱) out of your 【8】. They’ll
return again the next year when you start 【9】about resolutions again.
Resolutions often 【10】, but don’t be discouraged. If there’s something you want to change about your life, it won’t hurt to try. And if you fail now, don’t worry. Lunar New year is right around the corner!
32、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。
An Adventure on the Beach
It’s a perfect family summer seaside holiday. Occasionally some white clouds floated across the blue sky. The sandy beach was soft and comfortable. The water was glistering in the morning sunlight and the surf was cool on their feet as Krin and Paula leisurely walked along the water edge. The brother and sister began to make some sandcastles. Not far away, mother sat under a big umbrella, reading a book with a bottle of lemonade in her hand. Father was busy exchanging a few words of greetings with the strangers he met on the beach.
Suddenly, Krin spotted some pieces of seashells lying scattered on the picturesque beach and small holes stretching along it where the crabs had hidden. He immediately invited Paula to collect shells and search the holes together with him. They were having a ball exploring what appeared to be a never-ending beach.
After a while, they stopped and looked back. Their parents and the umbrellas, beach chairs, and crowds were a long way off. But just ahead, hidden amongst sea grape trees stood a run-down house that seemed to be out of repair for years. It appeared to be unoccupied. Curious, they went to investigate.
The front steps to the doorway of the house creaked (嘎吱作响) as they carefully climbed up them, so did the porch when they stepped onto it. The dusty windows and porch railing (门廊栏杆) were badly weathered and broken. The front door was half open so they squeezed through and cautiously entered. The place was in a total mess, covered with dust, sand, dead leaves, and overturned furniture. They’d taken but a few steps when the door unexpectedly slammed shut behind them.
Scared, Krin and Paula were frozen to the spot. But before they could even utter something like “Oh-oh,” the windows abruptly closed, too. And if this wasn’t scary enough, the stairs to the second floor creaked loudly. When a light in the back bedroom flickered (摇曳), that was absolutely the final straw.
注意：1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；
Paragraph 1:
“Let’s get out of here, Paula!” screamed Krin.

Paragraph 2:
Out they ran, all the way back to those wonderful umbrellas, beach chairs, and crowds.
