21、   For the first time ever scientists prepare to set about a 3-year-long project，the Nekton  Mission，to explore the Indian Ocean and document changes taking place beneath the waves that could affect the surrounding region over the coming decades.

The ambitious exploration team will reach one of the last major unexplored frontiers on the  planet，a vast body of water that’s already feeling the effects of global warming with rising water temperatures damaging its coral reefs(珊瑚礁).Understanding the Indian Ocean’s ecosystem is important not just for the species that live in it，but also for the 2.5 billion people living in the region.

The Nekton Mission is supported by more than 40 organizations.Researchers will spend  seven weeks surveying underwater life，map the sea floor，and drop sensors(传感器)to depths of up to 6，560 feet in the seas around the Seychelles.

The Seychelles aims to become a leader in the development of a“blue economy”that draws on the resources of the ocean.It relies on fishing and tourism，but has lately also been exploiting oil and gas from beneath the sea floor.“Our ocean is undergoing rapid ecological transformation by human activities.The Nekton Mission is vital to help us better know our ocean space and resources to make wise decisions.Only when we know what we have in the ocean and what is its value call we properly decide what to exploit and what to leave untouched，”said Jumeau，the Seychelles’ambassador to the UN.

The mission will conduct further dives in other parts of the Indian Ocean over three years.The researchers expect to discover new species and send videos to the world by satellite.The research will provide information for a summit(峰会)about the Indian Ocean planned for late 2021.

【1】Why do the scientists plan to explore the Indian Ocean?

A. To save the endangered creatures living in the sea.

C. It will contribute to the 2021 conference.

D. It will find solutions to global warming.

【4】What can be a suitable title fur the text?

22、   Working at a desk all day may not be as bad for your health as sitting in front of a television after work. That is a finding of a new study done in the United States.

Jeanette Garcia, a researcher at the University of Central Florida in Orlando, led the study.

“We’ve been hearing more and more about how sitting is the new smoking. Previous evidence suggests a relationship between health problems and time spent sitting. As long as you reduce any type of sitting, then that’s helpful in improving health,” she said.

“This study, however, suggests that this may not be the case, and that we should focus more on leisure time sitting, mainly television viewing time, rather than sitting, in general,” she added.

The study followed close to 3, 600 African-American adults. Almost one-third of them watched TV for more than four hours a day. A little more than one-third of the subjects spent between two and four hours a day sitting in front of the TV. The remaining third watched TV for less than two hours a day.

Researchers followed the group for an average of 8.4 years. During the study, 205 of the subjects died and 129 others suffered a heart attack or stroke. Compared to people who watched less than two hours of television daily, those who spent more than four hours in front of the TV were 49 percent more likely to die or have a heart attack or stroke.

The study had some limitations, however. Lin Yang is a researcher at the University of Calgary in Canada. She says it is possible that sitting in front of the TV might be worse than sitting at a desk because people snack while they are watching TV. Some people simply stay up too late and do not get enough sleep. Eating treats or lack of sleep could both cause weight gain and increase risk factors for heart disease. These factors could make people more likely to die early, she added.

Arch Mainous, a researcher at the University of Florida in Gainesville, said in an email that it would be a mistake for people with desk jobs to think there is no need to get moving during the work day. Take the stairs rather than the elevator, or take a walk at lunch, Mainous advised. “Leisure time physical activity is definitely beneficial, but walking on some more steps in the workday should also be encouraged.”

【1】What can we learn about Jeanette Garcia’s study?

A．Not all forms of sitting are equally bad for health.

B．Reducing time spent sitting is an effective way to improve health.

C．49% of those who spent more than four hours watching TV daily were unhealthy.

D．It’s the first study ever indicating the relationship between health problems and sitting.

【2】Which of the following may Lin Yang agree with?

A．Sitting in front of the TV is not that harmful.

B．People may as well avoid doing jobs at a desk.

C．Health risks have nothing to do with TV viewing.

D．Snacks and lack of sleep may be to blame for early death.

【3】As Arch Mainous suggested, what should an office worker do?

A．Take the elevator to save time.

B．Participate in more activities.

C．Get moving during the workday.

D．Take a walk to lose weight.

【4】What is this text most likely from?

A．A poster.

B．A textbook.

C．A guidebook.

D．A magazine.

23、In 2019, I rescued a hot-blooded donkey. Bo came from a nearby cattle ranch and now lives peacefully on my farm, along with another donkey, three horses, and two dogs. But the key to Bo’s successful changing from nervous to happy animal wasn’t anything I did. It was my grandson, Dylan.

When he was just shy of four years old, Dylan came with his parents to spend the Fourth of July with me on their way to Canada for a vacation. Bo kept his distance from the grown-ups, but he displayed an unusual fascination with Dylan, so we decided to introduce them.

Dylan cautiously approached Bo, step by step, holding a soft rubber currycomb. Bo held his ground, but he seemed intrigued by this little visitor. Dylan rubbed Bo’s shoulders and neck softly with the comb. It was hard for an almost four-year-old to stay still for long. To witness a preschooler learn to control himself in such a short time was amazing.

As we watched, true love developed between this once distrustful donkey and a gentle boy. Over the next few days, Bo let Dylan pet his legs, hold his head in his hands. And Dylan felt free to sit at Bo’s feet while Bo carefully nibbled（小口咬）his shirt collar and hair and rubbed Dylan’s back with his rough chin. Just as Dylan had earned Bo’s trust, Bo showed restraint with Dylan. He hugged Dylan-yes, a donkey can hug-without knocking him of balance. They met again one week later as the family passed through on their return trip. Bo came to meet them enthusiastically. He became a changed and trusting donkey.

And Dylan is a miracle worker who has a soft heart.

【1】How did Bo behave when it came to the farm?

A．It was quite patient.

B．It was bad-tempered.

C．I was wild-minded.

D．It was very friendly.

【2】What’s the meaning of the underlined word in the third paragraph?

A．Annoyed.

B．Disturbed.

C．Scared.

D．Interested.

【3】What did Bo do when Dylan came to the farm for the second time?

A．It stayed in the stable.

B．It nibbled Dylan slightly.

C．It welcomed Dylan warmly.

D．It jumped off enthusiastically.

【4】Which of the following can best describe Dylan?

A．Shy but tender.

B．Kind and brave.

C．Calm but careless.

D．Clever and athletic.
