21、The Asian elephant has been respected for centuries and is still used today for ceremonies and religious purposes. It is respected, not only because it plays a role in Asian culture and religion, but also because it is a key biological species in the tropical forests of Asia.
The Asian elephant is the largest land mammal in Asian. It is smaller than the African elephant, with relatively smaller ears. Asian elephants have a single “finger” on the upper lip of the long trunk, while African elephants have a second on the lower tip. A number of adult male Asian elephants have no tooth, and the percentage of males carrying ivory(象牙）is different from only about 5% in Sri Lanka to 90% in south India. Asian elephants keep their ears in constant motion in order to free the heat they produce. The species is reported to have well-developed hearing, vision, and smell , and they are also fine swimmers.
Asian elephants prefer to convey something to form groups surrounding 6 to 7 related females that are led by the oldest female. Like African elephants, these groups occasionally join others to form herds, although these associations are relatively temporary.
More than two thirds of the day may be spent feeding on grasses, but large amounts of tree bark, roots, leaves and small stems are also eaten. Crops such as bananas, rice and sugar plants are favored foods. Besides, they need to drink at least twice a day so the source of water is quite important.
The Asian elephant used to live from modern Irap and Syria to the Yellow River in China at first, but it is now found only from India to Vietnam, with a tiny population in the extreme southwest of China’s Yunnan Province. More than 100,000 Asian elephants may have existed at the start of the 20th century. The population is estimated to have fallen by at least 50% over the last 60-75 years.
【1】What can we learn from Paragraph2?
A.The Asian male elephant is the largest animal in the world.
B.The population of Asian male elephants with ivory varies by district.
C.The Asian elephant has two “fingers” on the lips of the long trunk.

【2】The Asian elephants are most likely to fed themselves______.
A. in a very large forest
B. in the field with leaves and stems

A. That there are fewer and fewer Asian elephants.
B. That Asian elephants originally ranged more widely.
C. That Asian elephants may suffer some diseases.
D. That there was too much killing in the last century.
【4】The passage introduces Asian elephants mainly in the aspects of ______.
a.the diet habit
b. the social structure

22、The world is reliant on the climate models that forecast our warming future and guide climate action. But why are climate models so complicated? Paulo Ceppi, a lecturer in climate science at the Grantham Institute, explains more as follows.
There’s several layers of uncertainty in making climate predictions. The first one is just knowing how much greenhouse gases will be emitted. That’s why the IPCC considers a range of future emission scenarios. But then within each scenario, there’s an uncertainty that comes from physical processes taking place in the atmosphere and the oceans.
I work on climate sensitivity, which is this basic question: how much global warming can we expect for a given increase in CO2? And to answer that question, we find that a lot of the uncertainty comes from clouds. Even fairly subtle changes in the amount, or type, or other properties of the clouds can have a pretty large effect on the amount of warming.
We can expect clouds to change due to global warming, and in turn those changes could accelerate warming further. There are two main changes. One is that with global warming, we expect the amount of low clouds to decrease. Because clouds act a bit like an umbrella and reflect sunlight back to space. If we have fewer of those umbrellas, then the surface ends up warming more as it absorbs more sunlight. And then the other is that high clouds will rise to even higher altitudes. That will increase their greenhouse effect, because as well as reflecting sunlight, clouds also have a greenhouse effect of their own. It could be described as blanket. If clouds rise, this blanket effect actually increases.
These effects were already in the models, just with large uncertainty. So on average, it seems that models were actually getting it right. We’re not suddenly finding that they are going to be a lot worse, but it’s more that we’re able now to reduce the range of uncertainty in these predictions.
Paulo Ceppi explains that for the climate scientists, it’s a challenge sometimes to talk about these uncertainties. We want to be downright, but at the same time we don’t want to appear as if we don’t know what we’re talking about. That’s why I think it’s also important to talk about the known facts, for example, that increasing greenhouse gases does cause global warming: there is absolute consensus（共识）on that.
【1】Which of the following statement will the author agree with?
A．Clouds mainly lead to the uncertainty of global warming.
B．The higher altitude the clouds rise, the less greenhouse effect is.
C．The scientists have known the amount of the greenhouse gases emission.
D．The scientists are unable to reduce the range of certainty in the climate prediction.
【2】What is the author’s purpose of writing paragraph 4?
A．To show the difficulty in figuring out the uncertainty.
B．To call on people to be aware of environment protection.
C．To teach people to learn more about the findings on clouds.
D．To introduce the interaction effect between clouds and climate.
【3】What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 5 refer to?
A．Models
B．Predictions.
C．Effects
D．Uncertainty
【4】What’s Paulo Ceppti’s attitude to the uncertainties in making climate models?

B．Puzzled.
C．Indifferent.
D．Doubtful.
23、 Although all Middle Eastern cultures cannot be grouped into one class, they do have similarities in their rules for the appropriateness of eye culture. Eye contact is much less common and considered less appropriate in many of these cultures than it is considered in the United States.
Middle Eastern cultures, largely Muslim, have strict rules regarding eye contact between the sexes; these rules are connected to religious laws about appropriateness. Only a brief moment of eye contact would be permitted between a man and a woman, if at all.
However, western women traveling in Muslim areas should not expect that no man will attempt to make eye contact with them. As a matter of fact, their “differentness“ may draw attention to them, and men may try to make eye contact with them. They should be aware, however, that returning eye contact will be considered the same as saying, “Yes, I'm interested!" So when in the Middle East, care should be taken in making eye contact with anyone of the opposite gender.
On the other hand, in many Middle Eastern cultures, intense eye contact between those of the same gender—especially between men-can mean “I am telling you the truth! I am genuine in what I say!” Try to observe the eye contact between those of the same gender to see if it is important to meet someone's long look when you want to tell them, “Trust me! I'm sincere!”
As you can see, it is vital to know what eye contact communicates before you visit a new culture. Before you travel, you would do well to go to your local public library or bookstore and check out or look through a book about the culture of the country you plan to visit. Learn how to use eye contact and other body language wisely so that you are regarded as polite, and so that you can better connect with people in a culture that is foreign to you!
【1】What do most Middle Eastern countries have in common?
A.Dealing with each other properly. B.Keeping a long distance while talking.
C.Keeping looking into the eyes while talking. D.Making little eye contact between different genders.
【2】Why will men in Muslim areas stare at western woman?
A.It is their own cultures. B.It is considered polite.
C.The western women are different. D.It is considered to be appropriate.
【3】What does the underlined word "genuine” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.hopeful B.serious C.confident D.reasonable
【4】What is the author's purpose of introducing the custom in the Middle East?
A.To support his conclusions. B.To show the importance of eye contact.
C.To give us some explanations. D.To teach us to communicate in Middle East.
24、If Siri had any feelings, she would know she was being teased. When 10-year-old Belinda and her friends play, they sometimes ask Siri questions in the hope she will say something random and make them laugh. “Do a rap,” they urge Siri, “Tell us a bedtime story.”
Belinda and her friends have grown up interacting with artificial intelligence(AI) in the form of Siri, Alexa and Google. They were born into a world of portable devices.
In 2010 when the first of their generation were born, Apple released the first iPad, internet activist Julian Assange published thousands of classified documents, Mark Zuckerberg was Time s person of the year.
Mark McCrindle, Sydney-based social researcher, first coined the term Generation Alpha to describe those born between about 2010 and 2024 in his book Generation Alpha. He said this generation have access to more technology? information and external influences than any generation before them, and at a younger age.
Belinda has had an iPad since year 3 and is allowed to use her iPad after doing violin and piano practice. "It's always 'Can I use my iPad, I'll do that afterwards7 and the afterwards never happens,” Catherine says, “Change the order and it gets done.”
Belinda is on guard against "stranger danger" and ensures her privacy settings, which mean that only her friends can join her in games. On occasion Belinda has wiped all her apps off her iPad, worried that she has disclosed too much, such as her date of birth and photo. When she downloads apps now she doesn't use her real date of birth.
In his book, McCrindle says, " In some ways, Generation Alpha are part of an unintentional global experiment in which screens are placed in front of them from the youngest age so we should pay attention to the addictive nature of devices and internet security."
【1】Why is Siri mentioned in paragraph 1?
A．To prove Siri is very intelligent.
B．To point out kids often feel bored.
C．To indicate Siri needs to be improved.
