22、Wild beavers (河狸) are back! Experts say that the wild beaver families are doing well. The beavers are even boosting wildlife and the environment!

Over ten years ago, a family of beavers turned up in a part of the river Otter, in Devon. No one knew exactly where they came from. It was a big surprise — wild beavers hadn’t lived in England for around 400 years!

In 2015, the government allowed the beavers to stay there as part of a trial (试验). They wanted to see if these animals could be reintroduced to the wild. The trial ended in February. Some scientists from the University of Exeter already said the beavers helped the wildlife in the area. One scientist called it “an amazing story”.

A lot of this is because of dams. Beavers build dams along the river. This creates deep pools in the riverbed and slows the water down. Scientists say this is perfect for many different types of plants and animals! Many plants are growing near the beavers. Different types of animals are also becoming more and more in the river. Beavers also help make flooding less, scientists say. The beavers’ dams slow down the speed of the river, especially after heavy rain.

There are, however, some problems. Beavers gnaw (咬、啃) on trees and this can harm them. Their dams can also sometimes create floods (洪水) on people’s land.

Beavers aren’t the only animals that are being reintroduced to the wild! In 2019, red squirrels were brought back to an area of the Scottish Highlands. Further away, the world’s rarest (罕见的) duck, the Madagascar pochard, is making a comeback. It was set free into the wild on the African island in 2019 and is doing well.

Who knows what other animals might be making a comeback?

【3】What are the good things about wild beavers living on the river Otter?

A．They help plants grow and make flooding less.

B．They bring heavy rain and floods.

C．They gnaw on trees and harm them.

D．Their dams create floods on people’s land.

【4】How many kinds of animals are mentioned in the news which have been reintroduced to the wild?

B．Two.

C．Three.

D．Four.

【5】How do you think animal lovers feel about the news?

23、   People often ask me for advice about how to learn English. As for it, everyone is different. I'll share some of my experiences. I once took a school year English course in Wuhan University, but I mostly learned English on my own.

One thing I can tell you is that, once you've started learning, you should try to think in English as much as you can. If you see something when you're riding your bike or walking down the street, just think about "How would I say them in English?" At first, it might be with simple words or phrases, but later you should think about longer phrases and sentences. Now I'm in America, and for most of the time, I would think in English and speak it directly. It's amazing how much this helps.

For a few years after I started learning, I was often afraid of talking with others in English because I didn't want to make mistakes. Finally I got it over. And while traveling in America, I'd try to hang out with friends who couldn't speak Chinese, so that I'd have no choice but to speak English. And I also decided that if I said something stupid and other people laughed at me, then so be it. After that, my English started improving much more quickly.

Besides, it may be a good idea to ask your American friends to look at the way you're writing, and give you some advice for improvement.

【1】The writer learned English in Wuhan University for about ________.

A．a week

B．a month

C．a term

D．a year

【2】According to the writer, ________ is a good way to improve your English.

A．thinking in English

B．learning English grammar

C．watching English films

D．reading English books

【3】The underlined phrase "get it over" in Paragraph 3 means "________" in English.

A．reply to it

B．depend on it

C．solve it

D．understand it

【4】The best title for this passage should be ________.

A．The Importance of English

B．My English Learning Experience

C．My University Life

D．My American Friends

24、Thousands of years ago, in the south of ancient China, there lived Shennong, a man who had an ox (牛) head and human body. Seeing that local people were suffering from disease, he built ladders and houses on a high mountain to store hundreds of medical plants. To remember him, people named the place Shennongjia.

The legend (传说) makes Shennongjia in Hubei an inviting place for tourists. Traveling there is a unique experience, as you can see scenes of the four seasons from different altitudes (海拔). “When the bottom of the mountain is summer, the top is spring and while the foothill is autumn, the top is covered with ice,” local people say of the special climate of Shennongjia.

Shennongjia is also home to 5,000 species of animals and plants. Many animals in danger live there, such as the golden monkey, the clouded leopard (云豹) and the Asian black bear.

One interesting and mysterious (神秘的) thing about Shennongjia is its legend of wild men. Some people once claimed that they saw big prints or big-foot creatures. Yet so far, scientists haven’t proved it is true and some say they are just bears.

The beautiful place has recently received a new title. On July 17, 2016, Shennongjia Forestry District was added to UNESCO World Heritage List (联合国教科文组织世界遗产名录) as a natural site (遗址). China now has 55 world heritage sites, first in the world.

【1】Which of the following is right about Shennong?

A．Shennong had an ox body.

B．Shennong grew medical plants for people.

C．Shennong helped the local people.

D．Shennong named the place Shennongjia.

【2】In Shennongjia, ________.

A．there are many medical stores along the way

B．people can experience four seasons in the mountain

C．there are 500 species of animals and plants

D．scientists have proved there are wild men there

【3】What does the underlined word “title” mean in Chinese in Paragraph 5?

A．标题

B．景点

C．称号

D．职务

【4】Which of the following countries has the most world heritage sites?

A．China.

B．Canada.

C．Italy.

D．The USA.

【5】What’s the main idea of the passage?

A．The legend of Shennong.

B．Animals living in Shennongjia.

C．The amazing Shennongjia.

D．World heritage sites.

25、Nook’s arrival, Good or Bad?

Booklovers, most of them, will tell you what a pleasure it is to lend a favorite read to a friend—the novel you stayed up all night to get to the end of; the travel book that made you feel as if you yourself were on a train ride through India. For a while it seemed that e-book users were to be denied this pleasure of lending to friends. You could b【1】 a book or magazine for your reading device, but you couldn’t lend it out.

But now, with the Nook, the US book chain Barnes and Noble’s response to Amazon’s Kindle, electronic readers will be able to have their l【2】 literary enthusiasm pressed on their friends, just like readers of physical books can. You simply email the book from your Nook and your friend can read it for two weeks, using any device with the Barnes and Noble e-book reader software. It’s a big i【3】 from previous e-book readers.

The Nook offers other features too. You read in black and white on the main screen, just like with Kindle. The difference is that on the lower part of the device there’s a c【4】   touch screen, which allows you to browse through a book or magazine, but goes black when you’re not using it so that you s【5】 power.

Another exciting thing about the Nook is that it offers Wi-Fi, arguably a big advance on previous e-book readers. Customers in the United States can use the Internet connection to read whole e-books at Barnes and Noble’s hundreds of bookstores for free. None of Barnes and Noble’s c【6】 can come close to this.

But the Nook, ironically, has t【7】 out to be a money-loser for Barnes and Noble, or at least a job-loser for Barnes and Noble’s employees. According to Marian Maneker at The Big Money Website, if the Nook is successful it might take sales from the company’s bookstores, eventually forcing their closure and the loss of thousands of jobs.
