21、A bright and impressive bus carrying fresh local produce appeared in a community of North Carolina in June 2022. It was the first pay-what-you-can Mobile Market. As the name implies, shoppers could pay any price out of their own will. Even the suggested price was about 25% less than that offered in grocery stores. This market gave shoppers a dignified way to provide food for their families regardless of their budget.
Seeing the joy in shoppers’ eyes, Will Komegay, the founder of this non-profit program—Mobile Market, felt a sense of accomplishment. He had once witnessed a wasteful and unfortunate reality. At that time, countless pounds of food had to be thrown away by farmers due to the interruption in the supply chain. Meanwhile, millions of people were struggling to afford enough food to feed their families. Kornegay didn’t want to stand by.
With much working experience in food industry and background about how food system was designed, Kornegay decided to use his company’s vast network of farmer and food industry relationships to address the issue. His team used buses to bridge the farmers, the food industries and communities that needed food most. Thousands of pounds of food that was sourced from local partners was placed into homes.
Kornegay still remembered how the first Mobile Market came into being. His team made a detailed plan and chose the colors and images they preferred. Then they purchased a “retired” school bus and renovated it, giving it a new different look and equipping it with refrigerators and freezers. Thus was born the first Mobile Market.
To date, the project has partnered with dozens of local farmers and food producers and has already served an estimated 10,000 families over 150,000 pounds of food. In 2023, the team hope to serve 80 sites across 20 counties in Eastern North Carolina. Their vision is to perfect the project where they live, and scale into every state nationwide.
【1】What is the purpose of the Mobile Market?
A．To boost the income of local residents.
B．To promote sales in local grocery stores.
C．To raise money for the family with a tight budget.
D．To enable people to buy food at an affordable price.
【2】How did Kornegay make the program work?
A．He ensured the food safety.
B．He improved the supply chain.
C．He increased the food production.
D．He built a network between communities.
【3】What does the underlined word “renovated” mean in paragraph 4?
A．Transformed.
B．Replaced.
C．Photographed.
D．Exchanged.
【4】What is the prospect of the Mobile Market according to the last paragraph?
A．It will be highly profitable.
B．It is expected to expand in scale.
C．It will become a new economic trend.

22、 Toronto Wildlife Centre’s rescue team wants to match their expert skill with the latest technology to help more animals.
The rescue team wants to help animals fast and with an even higher success rate. They are looking at technology ranging from as simple as a quick-firing netgun to as complex as a remotely controlled trail camera that is connected to the cellular network. This would immediately inform them with a photo if an animal has been successfully trapped, or has returned to a site that they are monitoring.
A small thermal imager (热像仪) is another piece of equipment that the rescue team is looking at to add to their tool box. The technology would allow the rescuers to see an animal’s heat signature. This would be useful for finding animals hidden in brush, rescuing wildlife stuck inside buildings, or finding animals at night when it’s too dark to see. Say we know there’s an injured animal in a back yard with many hiding spots. We don’t want to storm there and scare him away. We want to be able to predict his movement and rescue him as effectively as possible and the only way we can do that is by knowing where he is, the rescue team leader, Andrew Wight said.
The team also has their eye on a camera-equipped drone (无人驾驶飞机). “We want to use drones for aerial (空中的) watching in situations like when we have a baby bird that came from a nest that is difficult to access. If there’s no other baby in the nest, we can build a new nest, and the parents will simply find their baby and relocate to the new nest. If there’s another baby in the nest, we can’t separate the family and will need to return the baby to the original one. If we have a camera-equipped drone, we will easily see if there are any other babies in the original nest and plan accordingly,” Andrew explained.
【1】What can we learn from paragraph 2?
A．The rescue team aims to simplify the technologies.
B．The remotely controlled trail camera is used to trap animals.
C．The remotely controlled trail camera must have internet access.
D．The rescuers will receive a photo only when an animal is trapped.
【2】How does a small thermal imager help rescue an animal?
A．By providing enough light at night.
B．By showing the location of the animal.
C．By giving off heat to warm the animal.
D．By offering a way to hide the rescuers.
【3】What would happen without a camera-equipped drone?
A．The bird nest would be destroyed.
B．The baby bird would be deserted.
C．The rescue work would be difficult.
D．Another nest would have to be built.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．Rescuing Animals with Technology
B．Toronto Wildlife Centre
C．Fast Developing Technology
D．Ways to Protect Wildlife
23、 As a volunteer teacher, I moved into an apartment with eagerness. Sorting all the necessary paperwork out, I got ready to start my work. Great, or so I thought. At 4 a.m. And at several intervals after that, I was rudely awoken by the cock that lives opposite me. Fantastic! I now have 5 extra alarms every morning.
In the following weeks, I also started to notice a trend. Things in my flat started to break at the rate of one object per day, like the hot water line, bowls, cups, shower, doors or glass shelves. Yes, I am clumsy but things just fell apart.
If it wasn't broken, it would either be dirty or missing. Using my washing basket for the first time was pretty disgusting. When I took out my clothes, they were swiftly followed by a hundred or so bugs that were living in the bottom.
As for the general lack of equipment in the house, there was no oven, tin opener, or sharp knives. It turns out making a vegetarian burger from scratch wasn't the best idea. I had a small microwave and a grill. I thought the general understanding was never to put metal in a microwave but I went on. Smoke soon started to appear. I'm not quite sure if it was the burger or the grill but as soon as I opened the door, the electricity cut out. I spent the following 10 minutes in a dark, smoky room hunting for the power switch using the light from my mobile phone, which broke the week after and left me without a connection to the outer world.
Luckily, I'm now borrowing a phone and my luck has returned. No more things have broken (probably because there is nothing left to break). I am learning how to adapt to life with limited, broken utensils(用具)。

24、 For all its drawbacks, aging brings a benefit: social relationships generally improve. Older individuals have fewer but closer friendships, avoid conflicts, and are more optimistic compared with younger adults. Now, 20 years of data on chimpanzees suggest they, too, develop more meaningful friendships as they age.
“The finding challenges a long-standing assumption that humans mellow (成熟) with age because we are aware of our approaching death.” said Zarin Machanda, a professor at Tufts University. But finding the same pattern in chimps suggests a simpler explanation: It could be an evolved trait found in a wider range of species. Zarin and her colleagues gathered data from the Kibale Chimpanzee Project, which has tracked wild chimpanzee behavior in Uganda’s Kibale National Park since 1987. Because chimps are socially similar to humans — they live in large groups and engage in both cooperative and antagonistic (敌对的) relationships throughout their lives — they serve as an ideal test group for studying changes in social behavior. The researchers zeroed in on the males, who had more purely peer-to-peer relationships than females.
Combing through 21 years of behavioral logs on 21 chimps aged 15 through 58, the researchers found that older males (aged 35 and up) had more mutual friendships than younger ones. Older “friends” would sit together and groom one another on a regular basis, whereas younger chimps were more likely to engage in one-sided relationships, in which they groomed preferred elders who rarely returned the favor. As males age and fall in rank, they stop competing for dominance and “tend to give up”. Forming these cooperative relationships with peers could help older males maintain their status, helping them fend off challenges by younger and fitter chimps.
The team are eager to see whether other chimpanzee groups—and female chimpanzees—also experience this mellowing with age. Machanda says the theory could also be tested in other long-lived social species. Next, however, the team will take a deeper look at how social bonds might benefit aging chimps - and whether the same mechanisms could be at work in humans. “There is a lot more to learn,” Machanda says.
【1】The author writes Paragraph 1 to ________
A．introduce the topic about the finding on chimps.
B．compare chimps with humans in social behaviors.
C．show that humans mature as they age is a mere misunderstanding.
D．stress that aging is very terrifying not only for humans but also for animals.
【2】Why did Machanda and her team choose chimpanzee as the test group of their study?
A．Because chimps look like humans in so many ways.
B．Because chimps are easy to track down in the wild.
C．Because chimps bear resemblance to humans in social behaviors.
D．Because chimps live in large groups together throughout their lives.
【3】What do we know about the findings?
A．It took the researchers 21 years to study the elderly chimps.
B．Older males exhibit mutual friendship among the group.
C．Younger males prefer to groom the elders because they respect them.
D．Elderly chimps will continue to fight to maintain their status as they age.
【4】Which of the following might Machanda agree with?
A．There’s no need to study the female chimpanzees for the theory.
B．It would be better to test other species who live a short life as well.
C．They have learned fairly enough about how aging affects animal behaviors.
D．The study on aging chimps would help better understand human interactions.
