21、Few Indian festivals are as widely celebrated as Diwali, also called Deepavali, or Festival of Lights, the five-day event, which started on November 2, 2021. The ancient tradition dates back over 2 500 years.
The celebration begins with Dhanteras. In honor of the goddess of wealth Lakshmi and the god of wealth Kubera, it is marked with prayers for the family’s well-being and prosperity. Other customs include decorating home and business entrances with colorful designs, or rangolis, made using colored rice, and flowers. Since making a purchase is considered lucky, many people treat themselves to beautiful jewelry, clothing, or household goods on this day.
On the second day, known as Kali Chaudas or Narak Chaturdashi, some people rid homes and businesses of evil spirits in a traditional way. Others consider it “Choti (small) Diwali”, and use it as an excuse to start the festivities earlier. Regardless of the beliefs, everyone looks forward to the climax (高潮) of the five-day holiday — Diwali.
Diwali celebrations begin early with a visit to a place of worship, such as a temple. After that, families and friends get together to exchange gifts and sweets. For Indian residents, the real excitement starts late in the evening when entire neighborhoods take to the streets to light up the skies with colorful fireworks. The spectacular show continues until every last firecracker has erupted.
Since Diwali is celebrated by such a diverse group of people, many tales are associated with the ancient festival. Some believe that Diwali was first observed by residents of Ayodhya — the capital of the ancient Kosala Kingdom — to mark the return of King Rama, his wife Sita, and his brother Lakshmana, after being forced away for 14 years by the king’s mother. Others credit the celebration to the victory of the god Krishna over King Narakasura, whose association with an evil spirit turned him evil. Though the tales vary, they all celebrate the victory of good over evil and light over darkness.

22、“Adolescent chimpanzees (黑猩猩) are in some sense facing the same psychological characteristics that human teens are,” said Alexandra Rosati,a professor at the University of Michigan. “Our findings show that several key features of human adolescent psychology are also seen in our closest primate relatives.”
The researchers conducted two tests involving food rewards with 40 wild-born chimpanzees in Republic of Congo. The chimpanzees voluntarily participated in the games to receive food treats.
Chimpanzees experience adolescence at about 8 to 15. Like humans, chimpanzees show rapid changes in hormone levels during adolescence,start forming new bonds with companions, show increases in aggression and compete for social status.
In the first test, adolescent and adult chimpanzees could choose between two containers in a gambling (投机) task. One container always contained peanuts, a food that chimpanzees somewhat like. Hidden in the other one was either an unlined food — a cucumber slice — or a favorite food — a banana slice. The chimpanzees could play it safe and get the peanuts, or take a chance for some greatly desired banana at the risk of ending up with unappetizing cucumber. The chimpanzees’ emotional reactions were recorded, including angers, screams, or sticking on the table.
During several rounds of the test, adolescent chimpanzees took the risky option more often than adult chimpanzees, but adolescents and adults had similar negative reactions when they received cucumber.
The second lest, modeled after the famous “marshmallow test” with human children, examined delayed satisfaction where chimpanzees could receive one banana slice immediately or wait for one minute to receive three slices. Both adolescent and adult chimpanzees chose the greater delayed reward at a similar rate. Human teens lend to be more impulsive (冲动) than adults so they would be more likely to take the immediate reward.
“Prior research indicates that chimpanzees are quite patient compared with other animals, and our study shows that their ability to delay satisfaction is already mature at a fairly young age, unlike in humans,” Rosati said.
Risk-taking behavior in both adolescent chimpanzees and humans appears to be deeply biologically rooted, but increases in impulsive behavior may be specific to human teens.
【1】What does the first test aim to find out about chimpanzees?
A．Their problems of emotions.
B．The signs of aggression.
C．Their sense of adventure.
D．The change in hormone levels.
【2】What does the underlined expression “play it safe” in paragraph 4 mean?
A．Give it a try.
B．Take an action.
C．Play with fire.
D．Avoid taking risks.
【3】How might chimpanzees feel after getting the cucumber in the experiment?
A．Puzzled.
B．Delighted.
C．Disappointed.
D．Surprised.
【4】What is the finding of the second test?
A．The chimpanzees prefer bananas to any other reward.
B．Human adolescents tend to enjoy the instant satisfaction.
C．Human teens’ ability to delay satisfaction develops better.
D．The chimpanzees are impatient to wait for delayed rewards.
23、Why do Hiccups Happen?
Most of us have been hic, hic, hiccupping since before we were born. Hiccups are the loud noises our throats make without us wanting them to.【1】But why do we hiccup, and how can we stop them?
According to WebMD, hiccups start in our diaphragm—which is the muscle between our lungs and stomach that helps us to breathe. When we breathe in, our diaphragm pulls down to let air into our lungs.【2】But if something irritates our diaphragm, it can cause it to spasm(痉挛). The spasm makes us inhale air suddenly. When this air hits our voice box, our vocal cords immediately shut, creating a “hic” sound.
【3】Swallowing air while sucking on candy—or drinking fizzy drinks like Coca-Cola, or too much alcohol—can also cause us to hiccup. Emotions—like being nervous, excited, or even stressed—cause hiccups too.
But how can we get rid of them?【4】The official recommendations from the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) say that holding your breath for a short time is a good idea. Breathing into a paper bag is another option the NHS gives, as well as pulling your knees up to your chest and leaning forward, or very slowly drinking ice-cold water.【5】However, if your hiccups still haven't gone away after two days, WebMD says you’ll need to contact a doctor.
A．More haste, less speed.
B．It then relaxes when we breathe out again.
C．They can be funny or embarrassing depending on where we are.
D．Some of the reasons we hiccup include eating too quickly or too much.
E．They get in the way of breathing, eating, or sleeping comfortably.
F．Some people believe holding your breath and slowly counting to 10 can work.
G．Stranger suggestions from the NHS include biting on a lemon or tasting vinegar.
24、 More than 5, 000 species of birds manage annual round-trip migrations（迁徙）. These journeys can be thousands of miles, with many birds often returning to the exact same nesting and wintering place from year to year.
Migration is very important in the life cycle of birds, and without this annual journey many birds would not be able to raise their young. Birds migrate to find the richest and most abundant food that will provide adequate energy to raise young birds. If no birds migrated, competition for adequate food during breeding（繁殖）seasons would be fierce and many birds would starve.
Of course, not all birds migrate. Some birds can take advantage of different food sources（来源）as seasons change, allowing them to stay in one place all year round. Other birds are better adapted to cold climates with thicker fat reserves and better feathers, and they can survive long cold seasons while they forage for winter food. For more than half the world's birds, however, migration is necessary to stay alive.
When the timing is right for their migrating needs, birds will begin their journey. Food, weather, temperature and illness or injury are several minor aspects that may affect migration by a day or two, but most bird species follow precise migration "schedule". While migration is at its finest during spring and fall, birds migrate all throughout the year. Migration is actually an ongoing process and there are always birds at some stage of their journeys. The distance the birds must fly, the length of time it takes to mate and the amount of young birds all affect when any one species is migrating.
Migratory birds have several changes before the journey. Among them is hyperphagia, the process of migration-related weight gain. As daylight changes and migration times near, a bird's hormone levels will change and they will build a greater fat supply. Besides, old, ragged feathers create more wind drag and air resistance, which requires a bird to use more energy in flight, so many birds replace old feathers with new ones.
【1】Without migration, many birds would .
A.stop reproducing during breeding seasons
B.abandon young birds for lack of food
C.be unable to find places for nesting
D.be in danger of starvation
【2】What does the underlined phrase "forage for" mean in Paragraph 3?
A.Run out of. B.Cut down on.
C.Search for. D.Wait for.
【3】What can we learn about birds' migration?
A.Most birds begin their journey at the arrival of spring.
B.Warm temperature usually advances it by a day or two.
C.There is almost little migration of birds in winter.
D.Birds' migration is affected by various aspects.
【4】How will migratory birds benefit from the process of hyperphagia?
A.They will tend to use less energy in flight.
B.They will store enough energy for travelling.
C.They will replace old feathers with new ones.
D.They will better sense the changes of daylight.

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.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
