21、The days of the hunter are almost over in India. This is partly because there is practically nothing left to kill, and partly because some steps have been taken, mainly by banning tiger-shooting, to protect those animals which still survive.
Some people say that Man is naturally a hunter. I disagree with this view. Surely our earliest forefathers, who at first possessed no weapons, spent their time digging for roots, and were no doubt themselves often hunted by meat-eating animals.
I believe the main reason why the modern hunter kills is that he thinks people will admire his courage in overpowering dangerous animals. Of course, there are some who truly believe that the killing is not really the important thing, and that the chief pleasure lies in the joy of the hunt and the beauties of the wild countryside. There are also those for whom hunting in fact offers a chance to prove themselves and risk death by design; these men go out after dangerous animals like tigers, even if they say they only do it to rid the countryside of a threat. I can respect reasons like these, but they are clearly different from the need to strengthen your high opinion of yourself.
The greatest big-game hunters expressed in their writings something of these finer motives. One of them wrote.
“You must properly respect what you are after and shoot it cleanly and on the animal’s own territory(领地)。You must fix forever in your mind all the wonders of that particular day. This is better than letting him grow a few years older to be attacked and wounded by his own son and eventually eaten, half alive, by other animals, Hunting is not a cruel and senseless killing - not if you respect the thing you kill, not if you kill to enrich your memories, not if you kill to feed your people.”
I can understand such beliefs, and can compare these hunters with those who hunted lions with spears(矛) and bravely caught them by the tail. But this is very different from many tiger-shoots I have seen, in which modern weapons were used. The so-called hunters fired from tall trees or from the backs of trained elephants. Such methods made tigers seem no more dangerous than rabbits.
【1】There is no more hunting in India now partly because___.
A．it is dangerous to hunt there
B．hunting is already out of date
C．hunters want to protect animals
D．there are few animals left to hunt
【2】The author thinks modern hunters kill mainly____.
A．to make the countryside safe
B．to earn people’s admiration
C．to gain power and influence
D．to improve their health
【3】What do we learn about the big-game hunters?
A．They hunt old animals
B．They mistreat animals
C．They hunt for food
D．They hunt for money
【4】What is the author’s view on the tiger-shoots he has seen?
A．Modern hunters lack the courage to hunt face-to-face
B．Modern hunters should use more advanced weapons
C．Modern hunters like to hunt rabbits instead of tigers
D．Modern hunters should put their safety first
22、According to new research from the University of Cambridge in England, sheep are able to recognize human faces from photographs.
The farm animals, who are social and have large brains, were previously known to be able to recognize one another, as well as familiar humans. However, their ability to recognize human faces from photos alone is novel.
The recent study, the results of which were published in the journal Royal Society: Open Science. Show the woolly creatures could be trained to recognize still images of human faces, including those of former President Barack Obama and actress Emma Watson.
Initially, the sheep were trained to approach certain images by being given food rewards. Later, they were able to recognize the images for which they had been rewarded. The sheep could even recognize images of faces shown at an angle, though their ability to do so declined by about 15 percent — the same rate at which a human’s ability to perform the same task declines.
“Anyone who has spent time working with sheep will know that they are intelligent, individual animals who are able to recognize their handlers,” said Professor Jenny Morton, who led the Cambridge study. “We’ve shown with our study that sheep have advanced face-recognition abilities, comparable with those of humans and monkeys.”
Recognizing faces is one of the most important social skills for human beings, and some disorders of the brain, including Huntington’s disease, affect this ability.
“Sheep are long-lived and have brains that are similar in size and complexity to those of some monkeys. That means they can be useful models to help us understand disorders of the brain, such as Huntington’s disease, that develop over a long time and affect cognitive abilities. Our study gives us another way to monitor how these abilities change,” Morton said.
【1】According to the new research, what’s unusual about sheep?
A. They have large brains.
B. They can recognize their owners.
C. They can tell animals from humans.
D. They can recognize human faces from photographs.
【2】How did the researchers train the sheep?
A. By guiding them to follow their handlers.
B. By giving food rewards.
C. By showing photos of humans and monkeys by turns.
D. By showing photos of famous people.
【3】What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Sheep have a higher face-recognition ability than monkeys.
B. The sheep’s face-recognition ability stays the same when shown photos at any angle.
C. The new discovery is beneficial to the study of cognitive ability changes.
D. The sheep’s face-recognition ability may prevent some disorders of the brain.
【4】What’s the best title of the passage?
A. A New discovery about Sheep. B. How Sheep Recognize Each Other.
C. A Wonderful Scientist. D. The Life of Sheep.
23、There is something to be said for being a generalist, even if you are a specialist. Knowing a little about a lot of things that interest you can add to the richness of a whole, well-lived life.
Society pushes us to specialize, to become experts. This requires commitment to a particular occupation, branch of study or research. The drawback to being specialists is we often come to know more and more about less and less. There is a great deal of pressure to master one's field. You may pursue training, degrees, or increasing levels of responsibility at work. Then you discover the pressure of having to keep up.
Some people seem willing to work around the clock in their narrow specialty. But such commitment can also weaken a sense of freedom. These specialists could work at the office until ten each night, then look back and realize they would have loved to have gone home and enjoyed the sweetness of their family and friends, or traveled to exciting places, meeting interesting people. Mastering one thing to the exclusion（排除）of others can hold back your true spirit.
Generalists, on the other hand, know a lot about a wide range of subjects and view the whole with all its connections. They are people of ability, talent, and enthusiasm who can bring their broad perspective（视角）into specific fields of expertise（专长）. The doctor who is also a poet and philosopher is a superior doctor, one who can give so much more to his patients than just good medical skills.
Things are connected. Let your expertise in one field fuel your passions in all related areas. Some of your interests may not appear to be connected but, once you explore their depths, you discover that they are. My editor Toni, who is also a writer, has edited several history books. She has decided to study Chinese history. Fascinated by the structural beauty of the Forbidden City as a painter, she is equally interested to learn more about Chinese philosophy, "I don't know where it will lead, but I'm excited I'm on this pursuit."
These expansions into new worlds help us by giving us new perspectives. We begin to see the interconnectedness of one thing to another in all aspects of our life, of ourselves and the universe. Develop broad, general knowledge and experience. The universe is all yours to explore and enjoy.
【1】To become a specialist, one may have to________.
A．narrow his range of knowledge
B．avoid responsibilities at work
C．know more about the society
D．broaden his perspective on life
【2】According to the author, a superior doctor is one who________.
A．is fully aware of his talent and ability
B．is a pure specialist in medicine
C．should love poetry and philosophy
D．brings knowledge of other fields to work
【3】What does the author intend to show with the example of Toni?
A．Passion alone does not ensure a person's success.
B．In-depth exploration makes discoveries possible.
C．Everyone has a chance to succeed in their pursuit.
D．Seemingly unrelated interests are in a way connected.
【4】What could be the best title for the passage?
A．Be More a Generalist Than a Specialist
B．Specialist or Generalist: Hard to decide
C．Turn a Generalist into a Specialist
D．Ways to Become a Generalist
24、Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I’m not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances don’t come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that’s just the reality of how life is.
However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, in addition to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing. To become great at certain things, it’ll require even more time, time that most people won’t put in.
This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don’t enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.
When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.
Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. If you’re not willing to put in the time and work, don’t expect to receive any rewards. Consistent hard work won’t ensure you the level of success you may want, but it will ensure that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.
【1】Paragraph 1 mainly talks about ________.
A．the meaning of success
B．the reasons for success
C．the standards of success
D．the importance of success
【2】In Paragraph 2, the underlined word “that” refers to ______.
A．setting a practical goal
B．being good at something
C．putting in more time
D．succeeding in life
【3】Successful people suggest doing what one loves because ______.
A．it takes a lot of time to succeed
B．work makes one feel pain
C．one gives up his work easily
D．one tends to enjoy his work
【4】What can we infer from Paragraph 4?
A．Successful people like to show their great skills.
B．People sometimes succeed without luck or talent.
C．People need to achieve success at the cost of life.
D．It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success.
25、Acts of kindness are wonderful in so many ways. They_______the recipient and they're also a great reminder of all the_______acts that are taking place in the world. With the media full of COVID-19-related_______, these selfless acts are increasingly important.

Farmer posted how he'd gone to work after the quarantine（隔离）was lifted and had forgotten his work pass._______, he had to lock his bike just outside an underground station next to his office. When he returned for his_________in the evening, he found just his lock that had been cut and the bike was missing.
The London worker thought he'd never_______ his bike again. However, as he went to ask at the station about any potential_______ that had filmed the robbery, a rail worker, Abdul Muneeb, rushed over to him and asked him to unlock the_______bike lock to prove he was the________. Farmer then explained how Muneeb said "I have your bike" with a________ he would never forget.
With the lock undone, Muneeb told Farmer how he'd________someone cutting the bike lock earlier on during his shift. He stopped the man from________the bike and then wheeled it to a safe place. Muneeb__________four hours after his shift had ended so he could see the bike returned to its rightful owner.
