21、 As a young man, Ralph was a skilled artist, a potter. He had a wife and two fine sons. One night, his eldest son developed a severe stomachache. Thinking it was only some common intestinal (肠道的) disorder, neither Ralph nor his wife took the condition very seriously. But the disease was actually acute appendicitis (阑尾炎) and the boy died suddenly that night.
Knowing the death could have been prevented if he had only realized the seriousness of the situation, Ralph's emotional health declined under the enormous burden of his guilt. To make matters worse, his wife left him a short time later, leaving him alone with his six-year-old younger son. The hurt and pain of the two situations were more than Ralph could handle, and he turned to alcohol to help him as a way of reducing mental stress. As a result, Ralph became an alcoholic. As the alcoholism progressed, Ralph began to lose everything he possessed-his home, his land, his art objects, everything. Eventually Ralph died alone in a San Francisco motel room.
When I heard of Ralph's death, I reacted with the same contempt the world shows for one who ends his life with nothing material to show for it. "What a complete failure!" I thought, "What a totally wasted!"
As time went by, I began to reevaluate my earlier rash (草率的) judgment. You see, I knew Ralph's now adult son, Ernie. He is one of the kindest, most caring, most loving men I have ever known. I watched Ernie with my children and saw the free flow of love between them. I knew that kindness and caring had to come from somewhere.
I hadn't heard Ernie talk much about his father. It is so hard to defend an alcoholic. One day I worked up my courage and decided to ask him. "I'm really puzzled by something," I said. "I know your father was basically the only one to raise you. What on earth did he do so that you became such a special person?"
Ernie sat quietly and reflected for a few moments. Then he said, "From my earliest memories as a child until I left home at 18, Ralph came into my room every night, gave me a kiss and said, 'I love you, son.'"
Tears came to my eyes as I realized what a fool I had been to judge Ralph as a failure. He had not left any material possessions behind. But he had left behind one of the finest, most giving men I have ever known.

22、The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released its sixth major report on the health of the planet on Monday, demonstrating “if Pacific Ocean temperatures continue to rise, bleaching will kill the remaining corals that make up Australia’s Great Barrier Reef ”.
Bleaching is the result of higher-than-normal ocean temperatures. Warmer water causes corals to release the sea-plants that feed them and make them colorful. They turn white and sicken, often dying very quickly.
The Great Barrier Reef, which is over 2,300 kilometers long is the largest living structure on Earth. It is home to thousands of kinds of fish and other animals. Giant clams, whales, dolphins and birds are among the others that depend on the reef to live.
Humanity also profits from the reef. Popular with visitors, who bring a lot of money to the area, the reef was the center of Tony Fontes’ 40 years career. The professional diver taught the sport and led dive rips to the reef. He compared the destruction from a bleaching event to that from a forest fire. “You just realize you’ve just swum across a reef that a couple weeks ago was full of life and vibrant and now a bushfire has gone through it and the coral is dead,” he said, adding, “and the rest of the marine life will just have to move on or die off.”
IPCC panelist Mark Howden, director of the climate school at Australian National University said conditions that scientists predicted for the future “ are appearing pretty much now. ” However, he mentioned the report offered ideas that can reduce pressure on the reef and help Australia reduce its negative impact on the environment. “Australians should be concerned about all the problems discussed in the report,” he said, “but, the IPCC also wrote about solutions to prevent worst-case circumstances in the future.”
【1】What makes the Great Barrier Reef suffer from bleaching?
A．Sick reef.
B．Emergence of sea-plants.
C．Warmer water.
D．More corals.
【2】What can we learn about the Great Barrier Reef from the passage?
A．Many ocean creatures rely on the reef to live.
B．It is the largest living structure in the universe.
C．A forest fire damaged the reef a few weeks ago.
D．It’s popular with visitors because it brings them money.
【3】Why did Tony Fontes mention bushfire in paragraph 4?
A．To show his strong dislike of the bleaching.
B．To describe the gradual process of the bleaching.
C．To express the destructive effect of the bleaching.
D．To voice the similarity between bushfire and bleaching.
【4】What will probably be talked about in the following paragraph?
A．The vital importance of the reef.
B．The ways to solve the problems.
C．The problems discussed in the report.
D．The prediction of the future condition.

26、Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Would a person born blind, who has learned to distinguish objects by touch, be able to recognize them purely by sight if he regained the ability to see? The question, known as Molyneux’s problem, is about whether the human mind has a built-in concept of shapes that is so innate(天生的) that such a blind person could immediately recognize an object with restored vision. The alternative is that the concepts of shapes are not innate but have to be learned by exploring an object through sight, touch and other senses.
After their attempt to test it in blind children failed, Lars Chittka of Queen Mary University of London and his colleagues have taken another attempt at finding an answer, this time using another species. To test whether bumblebees can form an internal representation of objects, they first trained the insects to distinguish globes from cubes using a sugar reward. The bees were trained in the light, where they could see but not touch the objects. Then they were tested in the dark, where they could touch but not see the globes or cubes. The researchers found that the bumblebees spent more time in contact with the shape they had been trained to associate with the sugar reward, even though they had to rely on touch rather than sight to distinguish the objects.
The researchers also did the reverse test with untrained bumblebees, first teaching them with rewards in the dark and then testing them in the light. Again, the bees were able to recognize the shape associated with the sugar reward, though they had to rely on sight rather than touch in the test. In short, bees have solved Molyneux's problem because the fact suggests that they can picture object features and access them through sight or touch.
However, some experts express their warnings. Jonathan Birch, a philosopher of science, cautions that the bees may have had prior experience associating visual and tactile(触觉的) information about straight edges and curved surfaces in the context of their nests, so it is not possible to eliminate the possibility that some of the cross-sensory concept is learned rather than innate.
