21、Science experiments don’t always go as planned. 【1】. Recently, Australian scientists learned something unexpected about magpies (喜鹊) when they tried to attach trackers to them to learn more about their habits.
【2】. They’re medium-sized black and white birds from the same bird “family” as crows and blue jays. They’re known to be quite clever. They live in groups of up to 12 birds and work together to defend the area they live in.
The researchers were eager to try a new tracker on the magpies. They hoped to learn more about how far the birds flew and what they did during a normal day. But it’s hard to find trackers that work well with small-and medium-sized birds. 【3】. The new trackers are light and can be recharged without wires while they are still on the birds.
To keep the trackers on the birds without causing flying problems, the researchers developed a special harness (系带). It was tough, so it wouldn’t come off by accident. 【4】. The researchers placed trackers on five magpies. But just ten minutes after setting up the last magpie, they noticed something unusual: an adult female magpie was helping another magpie get free from its harness. A few hours later, most of the other magpies were also freed from their harnesses. By the third day, none of the birds had trackers anymore.
The scientists were disappointed about the trackers. However, they realized that the magpies had taught them something else—【5】, even if the bird who is helping doesn’t get a reward.
A．Magpies are able and willing to help each other out
B．However, that doesn’t mean you can’t learn from them
C．Either the trackers are too heavy, or don’t last long enough
D．Magpies may have a hard time adapting to global warming
E．The birds the scientists hoped to study were Australian magpies
F．The scientists need to find a good way to track these clever birds
G．But there was just one problem-the birds didn’t like the trackers
22、It’s a simple yet effective message that appeals, and leads to a satisfying way of motivating us to promote environmentalism in our own way.
Born in Nairobi, Lesein Mutunkei is in his late teens, and his Trees4Goals is the means with which he intends to make the world greener. It unites two of his self-declared passions in life: love of the outdoors, with his love of football. Lesein enjoyed walking in the forest, but recognised his country was experiencing a serious loss of tree cover. Between 2001 and 2020, Kenya lost an estimated 11% of trees, releasing as many as 176 million tons of CO2.
In a blog post for WWF Kenya, Lesein revealed that, once he started the Trees4Goals initiative, he originally planned to plant one tree per goal. By 2020, he wanted to take his efforts even further. What started as one tree planted per goal mushroomed into 11 trees planted per goal. Explaining the reasoning behind expanding the tree-planting, he said, “It represents team effort in football and the contribution by my team. I have managed to hit the 1, 000th tree milestone in the last two years.”
While it’s something of an own goal to destroy the forests and jungles providing enormous biodiversity, innovative initiatives like Trees4Goals are an assured way to score an environmentalist hat-trick. Football is popular. It cuts through cultural barriers irrespective of the country it is played in. By increasing the trees planted per goal, with more such initiatives springing up, even more will be grown.
Like a seed, best ideas start small and change into something that can become far larger than anticipated. While Lesein continues planting 11 trees per goal, Kenyan government is aiming to ensure the planting of 1. 8 billion trees to reach 10% forest coverage. The science behind is clear: if 900 million hectares are devoted to half a trillion trees, the world can offset(抵消)half of all carbon released since 1960.
【1】What gave Lesein the idea of launching the project?
A．Release of too much CO2.
B．Dream of motivating others.
C．Passion for sports and nature.
D．Habit of exercising in the woods.
【2】What did Lesein do in 2020?
A．He created a blog for WWF.
B．He multiplied his commitment.
C．He planted one tree for each goal.
D．He extended his work to other teams.
【3】What do the underlined words “own goal” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A．Aim that is intended to achieve.
B．Action that harms one’s own interests.
C．Pursuit toward which effort is directed.
D．Goal that is scored for the opposing team.
【4】What can we learn from Lesein’s story?
A．United, we win.
B．No pains, no gains.
C．Love me, love my dog.
D．Small deeds, big difference.
23、Leeny stood in the chicken coop（笼子）, shovel in hand, smiling widely. She was not faking it: My 7-year-old daughter was having fun cleaning out the chicken coop. I was happy she was enjoying herself, but I’d meant the household work to be punishment for losing a library book. So, was I winning or losing at parenting?
Leeny always has her nose in a book. She even took to reading in the car on the long drive to summer camp, which was where she lost the book. This is the first lost library book in my life. My family has always been overeducated, but we were poor. I didn’t own books. I borrowed books. However, my daughters have more books now than I owned my whole childhood and I knowingly contribute to it by adding to the stacks（堆）. So it’s probably my fault that when Leeny realized she had lost the book, she shrugged（耸肩）. “Sorry. I can't find it.” My daughter said. “It’s only $20, right? What's the big deal?”
I felt the need to make her feel responsible for the book. She agreed to clean the chicken coop in trade for my paying the library fine. I thought this idea was very clever because cleaning the coop is some work I had been avoiding for months. It was summertime, and dust floated in the dry air.
But my girl, my animal-loving, mini-me, thought shoveling chicken poop（铲鸡粪）was the most fun she’d had on a Saturday morning in a long time. She did not feel any of the emotions that punishment is supposed to introduce. In fact, she looked as if she might lose another book on purpose in order to clean the coop again. I stood, somewhat dumbfounded（发愣的）, watching her.
It took me a while to realize what had happened, why my punishment had failed completely and why I didn’t care. The fact is that I had Leeny help me clean the chicken coop. I was there, too, shoveling chicken poop, fetching the clean straw and feed. Leeny’s little sister, Vicki, was inside watching a cartoon while my husband paid bills. Only Leeny and I were outside. She had me all to herself for the first time since Vicki was born, and she was enjoying all the attention for once. I don’t know what she learned about responsibility, but I found that I didn’t care about the book anymore. We bonded over that unpleasant job and spent quality time together: mother, daughter, and chicken poop.
【1】How does Leeny find reading?
A．It is very enjoyable.
B．It is full of challenges.
C．It inspires her to be a camper.
D．It teaches her to lover her family.
【2】The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refers to the fact that _______.
A．the author didn’t own any books
B．the author’s daughters own too many books
C．the author’s daughters often lost library books
D．the author could never have enough books to read
【3】How did the author feel after she saw Leeny’s cleaning work?
A．Worried.
B．Ashamed.
C．Astonished.
D．Embarrassed.
【4】What’s the best title for the text?
A．My punishment failed, but I didn’t care
B．What I owe to Leeny: much more attention
C．My daughter drove me crazy, but I felt grateful
D．Surprise: my daughter loves cleaning chicken coops
24、Are we in the middle of a workplace revolution?
Pool tables, nap-pods and free food. They sound like things at an all-inclusive hoilday resort(度假胜地) rather than in an office. However, digital tech companies have redesigned the office and provided unusual benefits to make the workplace a more pleasant and productive place to be. For these companies, the days of individual work area where people would work on their own for eight hours a day are no more.
This trend is now spreading outside Silicon Valley. Bob Randell, director of MiCareer, says, “Everyone’s realizing that tech companies don’t provide fancy benefits or games areas in order to seem cool and trendy. They want their staff to feel good about themselves and their jobs. Happy employees are less likely to leave to work for a competitor and, most importantly, they are more productive.”
This new kind of workplace also encourages people to cooperate and to be creative. Playing table tennis with league you rarely work with can lead to new ways of working and fresh thinking. Thinking over a problem while lying in a hammock(吊床) might be the best way to find its solution.
However, this doesn’t mean employers should immediately offer free ice cream, replace desks with sofas or let staff bring pets to work. “Firms have to make sure their benefits are of real interest to their employees, and that they can afford them for the long term.' If a company stops offering a benefit, staff happiness goes down and people are less satisfied,” says Anna Tang, head of HR at DigitalFore.
We advise our managers to monitor the effects of the benefits carefully. We now offer free breakfasts instead of free lunches. This persuades people to arrive early and to start work with good energy levels, which makes them more productive. Large free lunches just made them feel sleepy.
This revolution in the workplace is unlikely to slow down. As Randell says, “All businesses can improve by increasing creativity, cooperation and happiness at work. The most successful ones do exactly that, and which companies don't want to be successful?”
【1】What trend is spreading among tech companies?
A.Expanding businesses outside Silicon Valley. B.Improving managers' working conditions.
C.Bettering workplaces for employees. D.Reducing daily working hours.
【2】Which is the major advantage of the workplace revolution?
A.Stopping people leaving their jobs.
B.Increasing people' s productivity.
C.Attracting high quality people to the company.
D.Encouraging sharing ideas with different people.
【3】What should companies that intend to improve do?
A.Serve the staff once and for all. B.Keep offering short-term returns.
C.Control the costs of extra expenses. D.Provide benefits for employees really
【4】Which of the following might be the best subtitle?
A.Why office life is changing and how to manage it
B.Why workplace revolution is unlikely to take place
C.Why digital technology companies are so successful
D.Why modern offices and unusual benefits are bad for business

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。
Barditch High School decided to have an All-School Reunion, which offered former students a chance to reconnect with old friends，remember the fine times they had at school and celebrate with people they might not have seen for years. Over 450 people came to the event，and all the people there were full of excitement. There were tours of the old school building and a picnic at Confederate Park. Several former teachers were on hand to tell stories about the old days. Ms. Mabel Yates, the English teacher for over fifty years, was wheeled to the park
Some eyes rolled and there were a few low groans (嘟嚷声) when Ms. Yates was about to speak. Many started looking at their watches and coming up with excuses to be anywhere instead of preparing to listen to a lecture from an old woman who had few kind words for her students and made them work harder than all the other teachers.
Then Ms. Yates started to speak: “I can't tell you how pleased I am to be here. I haven't seen many of you since your graduation, but I have followed your careers and enjoyed your victories as well as crying for your tragedies I have a large collection of newspaper photographs of my students. Although I haven't appeared in person, I have attended your college graduations, weddings and even the births of your children, in my imagination ”
Ms. Yates paused and started crying a bit. Then she continued: “It was my belief that if I pushed you as hard as I could some of you would succeed to please me and others would succeed to annoy me. Regardless of our motives，I can see that you have all been successful in your chosen path.”
"There is no greater comfort for an educator than to see the end result of his or her years of work. You have all been a great source of pleasure and pride me and I want you to know I love you a11 from the bottom of my heart”, she added.
