22、 A team of biologists recently studied rain-frogs in the forests of northern Ecuador. While doing so, they discovered a Mindo harlequin toad (五彩蟾蜍). The creature hadn't been seen alive in 30 years. The scientists couldn't believe their eyes.“The three of us spotted it,” Melissa Costales, a conservation biologist, said. Her partners were scientist Cesar Barrio-Amoros and guide Eric Oster-man.“ It took our brains a while longer than normal to recognize that we were watching an Atelopus mindoensis !”Their findings were published in the spring, in the journal Herpetology Notes.
Until recently, 13 of the 25 species of harlequin toads in Ecuador had gone unseen since the 1980s or early 1990s. Climate crisis is damaging their living conditions, and they can't find food that is suitable for them. Besides, people hunt for them to make money. However, scientists hold that most of them had been wiped out by a terrible disease called chytrid, which is especially harmful to the harlequin toad.
The Mindo harlequin is the latest harlequin toad species “to come back from the dead,” says Costales. Since 2003, eight other species have been found, three of them in Ecuador. Costales says the Mindo harlequin may have developed a resistance to the disease. That would explain the toad’s reappearance. And it could spell good news for other harlequins. Since discovering the first one, Cos-tales' s team has found five more. They were all tested for chytrid. None had the disease. But that doesn’t mean the survival of the species is guaranteed, Costales says. The harlequin toad is still endangered.
Costales is developing a conservation plan with a zoology museum in Ecuador. She wants to make sure the Mindo harlequin toad doesn’t fall back into dying out.“Each rediscovery gives us a second chance to develop better conservation strategies (策略) ,”she says.“Not every day do we have the opportunity to rediscover a species that we believed to be extinct.
【1】How did Costales feel about the discovery of the Mindo harlequin toad?
A.It' s unexpected. B.It's unattractive.
C.It's abnormal. D.It's doubtful.
【2】What is the key reason for harlequin toads' being killed?
A.Climate change. B.Lack of food.
C.A dangerous illness. D.Humans' behavior.
【3】How many Mindo harlequin toads have the scientists found out?
A.3. B.6. C.9. D.12.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.A resistance to chytrid B.Harlequin toad species
C.Animal experts’ hard job D.An animal’s rediscovery

24、 The problem of robocalls (自动语音电话) has gotten so bad that many people now refuse to pick up calls from numbers they don't know, because half of the calls we receive will be scams (欺诈). The problem is so serious that we begin supporting and developing a group of tools, apps and approaches to prevent scammers from getting through. Unfortunately,it's of little use. By the time these “solutions” become widely available,scammers will have moved onto cleverer means.
In the near future,it's not just going to be the number you see on your screen that will be in doubt. Soon you will also question whether the voice you're hearing is actually real. That's because there are a number of powerful voice manipulation (处理) and automation technologies that are about to become widely available for anyone to use. Today, a new voice technology is able to produce such a convincing human –sounding voice that it is very difficult for even the most advanced detecting machine to tell whether it is a fake one.
These developments will make the problems with robocalls much worse. With data breaches (数据侵入) of personal information, scammers can easily learn your mother 's name, and far more. Armed with this knowledge. they' re able to carry out individually targeted campaigns to cheat people. This means. for example,that a scammer could call you from what looks to be a familiar number and talk to you using a voice that sounds exactly like your bank teller's, tricking you into "confirming " your address,mother's name,and card number. Scammers follow money,so companies will be the worst hit.
We need to deal with the insecure nature of our networks. Phone carriers and consumers need to work together to find ways of determining and communicating what is real. That might mean either developing a uniform way to mark videos and images, showing when and who they were made by. or abandoning phone calls altogether and moving towards data-based communications—using apps like Face Time or WhatsApp, which can be tied to your identity.
Mutual trust is hard to earn but easy to lose, and the problem is only going harder from now on.
【1】How does the author feel about the solutions to problem of robocalls?
A.Panicked. B.Confused. C.Embarrassed. D.Disappointed.
【2】Taking advantage of the new technologies, scammers can______.
A.aim at victims precisely B.damage databases easily
C.start campaigns rapidly D.spread information widely
【3】What does the passage imply?
A.Honesty is the best policy.
B.Technologies can be double-edged.
C.There are more solutions than problems.
D.Mutual trust is the key to development.
【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.Where the Problem of Robocalls Is Rooted
B.Who Is to Blame for the Problem of Robocalls
C.Why Robocalls Are About to Get More Dangerous
D.How Robocalls Are Affecting the World of Technology
25、Travel, a home coming tour
In the UK travel is an enriching life experience that will make your resume stand out amongst other applicants. Travel is not simply a pursuit of____ but also “character-building”,“defining” and potentially “career-boosting”.
Most of the people I know here at university ___ the desire to travel and escape the stress surrounding us. But I don’t think, as UK students, we can blame our addiction to international travel simply on a stressful life. Yes, I have a lot to handle and it’s a fine___ act managing my part-time job, my degree and my social life to a perfect level. In a truly open world, we can get anywhere, see anything and experience every culture under the sun, at the click of a button, the purchase of a ____
Many people I met while working in China were surprised at the number of countries I’d travelled to. Compared to friends and family I consider myself vastly ____. I’ve never set foot across the pond in the U.S.A and Canada, let alone South America and even within Europe my checklist of destinations is far from____. I was also met by____at how little travelling I had done within my own borders. This was something I had not really considered before. How much of my own country had I really seen and experienced? To those from a place as vast and varied as China, Britain was really so ____in comparison and so to have spent 20 years there and not seen every part of it was quite surprising.
I had a conversation with a Chinese colleague over the reasoning behind our use of golden Cotswold stone, which sounds dull for most people. As a student of history, I found anything____fascinating. However it was not the stone within British cities I found interesting. What was curious was that it was something I had never even considered, and yet here was someone____on something I had simply taken for granted.
We continued our discussion, yet I was left____that I could not answer her question. In China, as well as a wealth of new culture that fascinated me, I discovered that there were parts of the UK’s culture, history, the very structure of my identity that were so different, so unique from China that I also____a newly found interest in my own heritage.
In this respect, travelling enables you with two things. Firstly you develop a(n) ____with new cultures, understanding customs, experiencing cuisines and absorbing the sights and smells of every new city. For many employers this____to new locations is seen as tremendous in your personal resume. But alongside increased employability, through international, cross-cultural conversations, you develop an interest in your own history, culture, and customs. You return to your home____ an understanding of other people’s fascination with it and your own sense of love for its peculiarities.
