21、The relationship between humans and the Amazon Rainforest has not always been a harmonious one. However, recent research suggests that the native peoples of the Putumayo region helped to protect the rainforest, leaving it unchanged for 5,000 years. Perhaps humans’ coexisting with nature is possible after all.
The study, published in PNAS, looked at soil samples in the Putumayo region of the Amazon in Peru to find how humans influenced the land. The researchers found that the trees still growing in the region today have been growing there for the last 5,000 years — evidence that the area has not been home to cities and farmland in that time. Traces of charcoal (木炭) found in the, soil, however, indicate that people did live there; they just did so in a way that had minimum influence on their environment.
To come to these conclusions, the team dug a 0.6-0.9 meter deep column into the ground, taking samples of soil from different heights along the column. Back in the lab, samples were carbon- dated to determine their age and then sorted under a microscope to look for microscopic mineral particles, known as phytoliths (植硅体). Phytoliths are essential evidence of plants — they remained in the soil thousands of years after the plant died. So researchers can use them to tell which plants have grown in an area in the past.
Over 5,000 years’ worth of samples, no species loss was detected. These findings suggest that contrary to common belief, the Amazon is not untouched by humans, but rather has been protected by them for thousands of years. The management of the rainforest by native peoples appears to have been vital in preserving its biodiversity and will continue to be important in the fight to prevent it from a collapse.
As Nigel Pitman, a co-author on the paper, said: “Since this particular forest is still being protected by native peoples, I hope this study reminds us all how important it is to support their work.”
【1】How did native peoples deal with the rainforest in the region of Putumayo?
A．They always destroyed the rainforest.
B．They had a side effect on the rainforest.
C．They never lived in the area of the forest.
D．They had been in harmony with the forest.
【2】What did the researchers try to find in the Amazon forest in Peru?
A．The diversity of the plants in the rainforest.
B．The evidence of human influence on the forest.
C．The nutrition of the soil samples in the rainforest.
D．The survival age of growing trees in the rainforest.
【3】What does the underlined word “collapse” mean in Paragraph 4?
A．Sudden decrease.
B．Bad management.
C．Poor preservation.
D．Over development.
【4】What can be inferred from Nigel Pitman's words?
A．Native peoples should protect the rainforest.
B．We should help protect the Amazon Rainforest.
C．More science research should be done on rainforest.
D．We should make good use of the Amazon Rainforest.
22、Most health experts would agree that eating meat — especially red meat — in large quantities isn’t good for us, or the planet. Studies point to an increased risk of heart disease and cancer correlating to our meat-heavy diets. Meanwhile, manufacturers are busy producing increasingly tasty and more meat-like products that match the real things — making the switch from eating animals seem like a no-brainer. But are these fake meat products any healthier for us?
Jinan Banna, a dietitian and nutrition professor at the University of Hawaii says that some fake meat products can be considered “ultra-processed” foods. “That means they go through multiple processes and have a lot of added ingredients (配料),” she said. “An alternative burger, for example, might have quite a bit of sodium (钠), as well as additives.” Some of these additives are on the market for a while before the scientific community determines them to be harmful, Banna added. “Anytime you see a long list of ingredients, including ‘natural flavors’, take it as a warning sign. In other words, eschew products with lengthy ingredient lists,” said Sofia Popov, a microbiome scientist in Copenhagen. “Who knows what’s actually in it?”
Perhaps convenience is the best argument for buying an alternative meat product you can simply cook straight out of the box, but some health experts suggest other plant-based healthful options can be simple, too. For example, on a busy day, Banna said she was able to throw together a tempeh (a traditional soya product) dish which she put in a little oil, vinegar and other seasonings. “We definitely obtain nutrients from animal-based food — iron and zinc and other minerals as well. But it also contains fat and cholesterol, so it’s good to control our intake,” said Banna. “Vegetarian substitutes can be very tasty so we shouldn’t shy away from them.”
【1】What is the common belief on consuming red meat?
A．It is beneficial to our planet.
B．It can stimulate the economy.
C．It should be served with vegetables.
D．It may make us suffer from heart disease.
【2】What does the underlined word “eschew” in paragraph 2 mean?
A．Avoid.
B．Provide.
C．Inspect.
D．Purchase.
【3】What does Banna advise people to do?
A．Take in more minerals.
B．Turn to convenient food instead.
C．Seek for plant-based meals.
D．Choose some animal-based substitutes.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A．Why Is Plant-based Meat Dying?
B．Are Fake Meat Products Good For You?
C．Fake Meat: Food’s Future Or A Fashion?
D．What Happened To The Plant-based Meat?
23、With low temperatures and a lack of food, winter is a bad season for animals. Many animals enter hibernation to get through it. Hibernation is when an animal goes into a state of extended inactivity. This cools the creature's body and slows its heartbeat to just a few times per minute, for up to months at a time.
But why don't humans hibernate? Human hibernation doesn't exist for many reasons. Our body is not designed for hibernation. For example, waste management is a huge challenge for human hibernation. Animals that hibernate are able to essentially preserve nutrients during hibernation through a process of reabsorption. Unfortunately, humans can't do this. In addition, cold temperatures can limit the immune system, making people more likely to get infections, according to Smithsonian Magazine.
In fact, humans don't need to sleep through winter. We have discovered fire, clothes, shelter hunting and agriculture, all of which are much more effective ways of surviving the cold.
Could humans hibernate in the future? For long-distance space travel, it's likely. A journey to Mars would take around months using current technology. If we hope to visit another star system, even if we could travel at the speed of light, the journey would take years. Being able to hibernate would make such distances considerably less boring for the astronauts and conserve vital resources, according to University of Oxford in the UK.
NASA is treating this question seriously. Beginning in 2014, the agency funded research on long-term hibernation as a way to facilitate long-term space travel, according to The Atlantic magazine.
【1】What are animals like when they enter hibernation?

A．Different opinions on humans' hibernation.
B．A new technology for humans to hibernate.
C．New research on hibernation in space travel.
D．The significance of studying human hibernation.
【4】Where is the text probably taken from?

B．A science magazine.
C．An art review.
D．A biography
24、Starting in 1972，the National Park Service established a policy for forest fires called Natural Burn．It was acknowledged that some forest fires，such as those which were caused by lighting were necessary for forests to maintain（保持）balanced ecosystems，so the fire should be allowed to burn．However， a big fire in Yellowstone National Park in 1988 caused this policy to be abandoned since the fire was initially（最初）allowed to burn yet soon out of contro1．As a result，the fire of 1988 destroyed much of Yellowstone，which is America’s oldest and most beloved national park．Massive areas of plants were destroyed，and large empty spaces and acres of burned and blackened trees greeted visitors．The rivers and streams were choked with ash，and the ecosystem of the park was changed beyond repair．
In addition，great numbers of animals were killed by the fires that burned out of control．The fires were driven by high winds，moving as many as ten miles a day．Many small animals died in the flames．The fires’rapid advances gave the wildlife little chance to escape．Even today，few of these small forest animals have returned to live in the park．In the years immediately following the fires，the numbers of visitors declined．rapidly．No one was interested in seeing a blackened and treeless park on vacation．Yellowstone had previously been famous for its amazing views and unique geological formations such as the geyser（喷泉）Old Faithful．But now its reputation as America's wonder is damaged permanently．

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
On a winter Sunday good for skiing, Sue arrived at their holiday chalet (棚屋) with joy. Sue’s skis were sticking out behind her. Mark, another skier, tripped over Sue’s skis. Before Sue could apologize, Mike shouted, “Your skis are in the way. You’ve got big smelly feet!” In view of his attitude, Sue ignored him. Mark lost face and was more angry.
The ski lift took all the skiers to the top of the mountain. The hard snow of the piste (滑雪道) was below them. Then Sue skied down the mountain. As a good skier, she didn’t fall over. Mark, along with his good friend David, was watching her with envy and anger. They were also good skiers but they didn’t know Sue very well. “She’s good,” David said. “But we’re better,” Mark responded with dissatisfaction.
The young people skied all day. They enjoyed themselves and forgot everything. On Wednesday morning, the young people were waiting for the ski lift when their teacher announced a ski race. The race would be arranged for the last day of the holiday on a long and difficult ten-kilometer piste. Everybody wanted to win! They went up the mountain, put on their skis and skied down the piste, practicing for the race. Sue skied fast, so did Mark and David. Obviously, these three became powerful opponents.
It was Saturday and the race was going to be held in the afternoon. Sue was hungry and left her skis at the side of a café. She sat down and ordered lunch. Later, David and Mark came in. They also headed to the side to put their skis there. Mark noticed Sue’s skis and aimed a kick angrily at them. Then he found a screw (螺丝) on Sue’s ski was loose, unsure whether it was caused by the force or it was like that originally. “Sue’s skis won’t work. We’re sure to win,” Mark said and pointed. They smiled knowingly at each other.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Finally came the time of the race and everyone was excited.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Maybe feeling guilty or nervous, Mark made a mistake and fell down when Sue approached him.
