21、Eighty- four online-only, open access (OA) journals in the sciences, and about 170 in the social sciences and humanities(人文学科)，have disappeared from the Internet over the past 2 decades. A study has found these journals ended up falling offline within several years after their first publication as they were not kept in good condition for some reason. An additional 900 journals published only online also may be at high risk of disappearing because they are inactive.
"There is usually a vast amount of time contributed by a lot of people behind every article, from the authors to the editors, all the way to peer-reviewers”, Mikael Laakso,a co-author of the study, explained.“The fact that all the previous online scholarly records are cut off from the world on which they once made a positive impact, for not having enough maintenance, is totally unacceptable."
A new initiative set by research funders requires maintenance systems—but most online-only journals currently lack such plans. The new preservation system requires scholars to make their articles immediately free to read upon publication. Overall, only about one-third of the 14,068 online journals published in 2019 ensure the long term preservation of their content while the rest of them are estimated to go dark in a few years.
It's not clear how many subscription-based journals also have gone dark in recent years. Subscription-based content has historically been better covered by libraries, either by having paper copies on shelves or electronically. There have been established processes and budgets in place for libraries to preserve purchased content, which put subscription-based journals in the catbird seat, when it comes to preservation. However, what is just available for anyone to download for free has not been brought into such processes and thus runs the risk of disappearing.
There's little consensus about who is ultimately responsible for the digital preservation of OA journals—publishers, libraries, or universities. Preserving OA journals may pose a particularly big financial challenge for those publishers that do not charge authors for the publication of their articles. Library budgets, meanwhile, have faced cuts. And preservation sometimes seems less important than working on the articles which European funders often use to evaluate the quality of university scholarship.
【1】Why are online journals likely to disappear?
A．They are out of date.
B．They are short of creative ideas.
C．They lack sufficient maintenance.
D．They no longer have academic value.
【2】How does Mikael Laakso sound Paragraph 2?
A．Hopeful
B．Regretful.
C．Humorous.
D．Indifferent.
【3】How many online journals published in 2019 will disappear?
A．About 9.400.
B．About 4700
C．About 900.
D．About 170.
【4】What does the underlined part “in the catbird seat” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A．Out of normal operation.
B．Into a different Category.
C．In an advantageous position.
D．Beyond most people's reach.
22、One of our biggest fears nowadays is that our kids might some day get lost in a “sea of technology” rather than experiencing the natural world. Fear-producing TV and computer games are leading to serious disconnect between kids and the great outdoors, which will change the wild places of the world, its creatures and human health for the worse, unless adults get working on child’s play.
Each of us has a place in nature we go sometimes, even if it was torn down. We cannot be the last generation to have that place. At this rate, kids who miss the sense of wonder outdoors will not grow up to be protectors of natural landscapes. “If the decline in park use continues across North America, who will defend parks against encroachment（蚕食）?”asks Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the woods.
Without having a nature experience, kids can turn out just fine, but they are missing out a huge enrichment to their lives. Experts predict modern kids will have poorer health than their parents—and they say a lack of outside play is surely part of it; research suggests that kids do better academically in schools with a nature component and that play in nature fosters（培养）leadership by the smartest, not by the toughest, Even a tiny outdoor experience can create wonder in a child. The three-year-old turning over his first rock realizes he is not alone in the world. A clump of trees on the roadside can be the whole universe in his eyes. We really need to value that more. Kids are not to blame. They are over-protected and frightened. It is dangerous out there from time to time but repetitive stress from computers is replacing breaking an arm as a childhood rite（仪式）of passage.
Everyone, from developers, to schools and outdoorsy citizens, should help regain for our kids some of the freedom and joy of exploring, taking friendship in fields and woods that strengthen love, respect and need for the landscapes. As parents, we should devote some of our energy to taking our kids into nature. This could yet be our greatest cause.
【1】According to the passage, children without experiencing nature will______
A．keep a high sense of wonder
B．be over-protected by their parents
C．be less healthy both physically and mentally
D．change wild places and creatures for the better
【2】According to the author, children’s breaking an arm is_____
A．the fault on the part of their parents
B．the natural experience in their growing up
C．the result of their own carelessness in play
D．the effect of their repetitive stress from computers
【3】In writing this passage, the author mainly intends to______
A．blame children for getting lost in computer games
B．encourage children to protect parks from encroachment
C．show his concern about children’s lack of experience in nature
D．inspire children to keep the sense of wonder about things around
23、Biologists from Boise State University have been making noise in the forests of the western American state of Idaho. They are making noise to study the value of quiet in nature. They want to know how people and animals react to noise pollution.
The researchers placed outdoor speakers on the side of a half-kilometer-long part of a road in the Boise National Forest. For two years, they played the sounds of passing cars through the speakers. Professor Jesse says they found the sounds caused migratory （迁徙的）birds to flee. The birds also failed to gain weight.
Recently, researchers played sounds of machines that are used to remove natural gas from the ground. That sound is heard in natural gas fields throughout the American West. Professor Barber says these experiments are designed to help researchers learn the effects of noise pollution on birds, insects, bats, and people.
"We are testing the idea that these things are coupled -- that as the soundscape gets louder, wildlife suffers. But that also feeds back on to how much people get out of that experience, how much they value it, and thus how much they are willing to protect that same place."
The research team also studied a group of volunteers who watch birds for fun. Mitch Levenhagen is a graduate student in the research team. He measured how much the artificial noise lessened the ability of the birdwatchers to recognize recorded bird songs.
The birdwatchers said the artificial noise affected their ability to recognize bird sounds more than they thought it would. Birdwatcher Jim Lyons said the experiment caused him to value quiet more.
"I moved out of the city to a little place in the country where I wanted it to be quiet. I greatly value that. It is hard to find those places more and more. There are lots of ways to mitigate（减轻） sound. But it is trade-off. There is always a cost. And it comes down to people's values. What do we value more." said Volunteer Janice Engle.
【1】What is the purpose of carrying out the research?
A．To prevent people making any noise in their daily life.
B．To find out the effect noise has on humans and animals.
C．To call on many more people to protect the environment.
D．To encourage people to keep quiet while they are in nature.
【2】By playing sounds of machines, the researchers try to make the findings ________.
A．impressive
B．unique
C．instructive
D．convincing
【3】What have some volunteers realized after the experiment?
A．The great importance of quiet in nature.
B．The big price humans will pay for health.
C．The great value of a sharp sense of hearing.
D．The necessity of protecting wildlife in nature.
24、 It was the first family ski weekend in Colorado. I was tired and considered quitting it. But I figured I should push through—if I skipped out, then the kids would think that they could too. After dropping the kids at ski school, my husband and I charted our course on the mountain map. Then, I pushed off and three minutes later, my right ski inverted (倒转的) and took my leg with it... I still remember hearing the crack.
I was taken down the mountain in an ambulance. After surgery I woke up with my leg bandaged beyond recognition, my mouth dry and my mind confused. I wouldn’t walk for three months, optimistically. I couldn’t drive. I couldn’t navigate the steps in our house. I couldn’t even shower on my own. I turned to Adam and asked, “How are we going to manage?” “We’ll figure it out,” Adam said. I nodded, because what was the alternative? But nowhere in any of my cells did I believe him. Not even a tiny bit.
But something unexpected happened: my children learned to be both autonomous and empathetic. They ran up the steps each day after school to check on me. Without the luxury of my packing their lunches or ensuring that their homework was filed, they learned to do it themselves.
And my husband too! The man previously had to be told what to do and when to do it, and sometimes why too. When I went down on the mountain, he attended to my every need, as he said to me once, “After all the years that you did so much, it was my turn to show up.”
Sometimes—many times—both in life and in marriage, you hope for the sunset overlooking the ocean off a deserted beach, but what you get is a drive to physical therapy. That’s OK. When I went down on that mountain, I worried that my injury would upend everything. It turns out that it did.
【1】What can be inferred about the mother before the accident?
A.She enjoyed herself in the ski.
B.She was desperate for a change.
C.She was the only breadwinner of the family.
D.She committed herself to taking care of the family.
【2】How did the mother initially feel after the surgery?
A.Worried. B.Regretful. C.Relieved. D.Respected.
【3】From the underlined sentence, we know “________”.
A.Misfortune might be a blessing in disguise
B.God helps those who help themselves
C.He who makes no mistakes makes nothing
D.The one who wants to wear a crown must bear the weight
【4】What’s the best title for the passage?
A.Unforgettable skiing B.When mum broke her leg
C.A father turning over a new leaf D.How to survive a skiing accident
25、I experienced a day when I was extraordinarily _______. I’m never a picture of grace, but on this particular day, I seemed to be _______ everything.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一个完整的短文。
He woke suddenly and completely. It was 4 a. m. at Christmas, the hour when his father had always called him to get up and help with milking the cow. Strange how the habit of his youth was with him still, even his father had been dead for 40 years. The magic of Christmas for him was a long childhood past, and he was wondering why he felt so awake when his mind went back to his teenage years.
He was 15 years old then and still on his father’s farm. A few days before Christmas, he heard what his father was saying to his mother.
“Mary, I hate to call Rob in the mornings. He’s growing so fast, and he needs his sleep. I could manage alone.”
“Well, you can’t, Adam.” His mother replied. “Besides, he isn’t a child anymore. It’s time to take his turn.”
When he heard these words, something in him woke: his father loved him so much as had never been thought before. Now that he knew so, there would be no more lying in the mornings waiting to be called. He got up and pulled on his clothes.
On the night before Christmas, he lay thinking about the next day. They were poor, and most of the excitement was in the turkey raised themselves and the mince pies made by his mother. His sisters made presents, and he always saved and bought something for parents.
However, he wished, that Christmas he was fifteen, and that he had a better present for his father than before. He looked out of the window and saw Dad working in a stable. Then a thought struck him: why should he not give his father a special gift out there in the stable? He could get up earlier, quietly go into it and get all the milking done. Then when his father went in to start the milking, he’d see it all done.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；

He had woken up twenty times in the night, looking at his watch for a proper time to start.
