21、Sometime back, after a six-year-old lioness named Magigi repeatedly killed cattle, Botswana authorities caught and moved her into Central Kalahari Game Reserve, far from people. Magigi spent most of her time within the reserved protective boundaries, but after a year she escaped outside and was shot dead by a farmer. New research Maude and his colleagues have conducted confirms that Magigi's unfortunate story is common for many relocated lions. For decades, wildlife managers in a number of African countries have used such a kind way to deal with lions that repeatedly kill livestock (牲畜).But the new research shows that after lions are moved, most continue to kill livestock and endanger villagers' living.
Across Africa, lion numbers have fallen by 43 percent in the past two decades, to as few as 23,000 animals today. About 3,000 remain in Botswana. The sharp declines are primarily driven by development-lions now occupy just 8 percent of their historic habitat. With less space set aside for conservation, lions are more frequently coming into contact with humans. These are usually farms, expanding around the edges of the protected areas. The lions eat livestock, which negatively impacts the livelihood of the farmers in these rural areas. Without a proper way to prevent these attacks, the dinners often turn to deadly force, shooting or poisoning the lions, which has resulted in the decrease in lion population.
Rather than trying to move lions, wildlife conservationist Glyn Maude says, emphasis should be placed on reducing the chances of lions encountering and killing livestock in the first place. Many preventative measures are being tested in various African countries, including hiring lion guardians (护卫者) to monitor these big cats, creating lion-proof fences, sending out lion text alerts, and teaching herders to keep livestock away from high-risk areas.
【1】Why was Magigi moved to a reserve?
A．To stop her from being caught.
B．To prevent her from killing cattle.
C．To get her to stay with her family.
D．To train her to get along with people.
【2】What is the major reason for the decline in the lion population in Africa?
A．Illegal wildlife trade.
B．Human-lion conflict.
C．A natural disaster.
D．The lack of food in their habitat.
【3】What can we infer from Maude's words in the last paragraph?
A．Lions will be fenced in to avoid meeting people.
B．The relocation of lions has proven to be effective.
C．Prevention is the cure for lions' attacking livestock.
D．It's impossible for lions to live with humans in harmony.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．Big Cats' Relocation Proving Deadly
B．Lions Shot Dead after Attacking a Man
C．The Tragic Story of a Magical Lioness
D．Conservation Status of the African Lion
22、Humans are developing new places to live in. In the south of Silicon Valley sits the Monterey Peninsula, where you’ll find a moveable community that’s being designed as a rest region for the region’s tech elites(精英).
Walden Monterey was founded in 2016 by developer Nick Jekogian, who set out to turn the 609-acre land into a coastal “agrihood” community, a growing trend among the tech elites in which they avoid the idea of belonging to golf communities, unlike what the previous generations have done, and instead enjoy agricultural neighborhoods that focus on nature, farms, and outdoor living.
The property plans to build 22 homes in total, with the lots they sit costing about $1 million each(three lots have been sold, as of September 2018). After the sales are made, buyers can work with a team of more than 20 architects assembled by Jekogian to then pay additional millions each for home construction.
A key step in the buying process involves potential buyers actually visiting the land. Jekogian invites people to stay in “moveable rooms” or small moveable glass houses, which allow them to experience what living on the land would actually be like.
But now, Walden Monterey will soon provide a new way to try out the land. The design studio DFA, founded by Laith Sayigh, was approached by Walden Monterey to design a house for potential buyers to stay each in while they think about purchase decisions.
The 3D-printed houses, named Galini Sleeping Pods, are 300 square feet in size, can be moved anywhere, are powered by solar panels, wind turbines and Tesla batteries, and will cost about $250,000 each. Sayigh told Business Insider that they’ re not just a future staple for the Walden Monterey community, but that they represent the next generation of construction technology.
【1】What life do the tech elites like according to the text?
A．Getting close to nature.
B．Playing golf after work.
C．Living in a big house.
D．Having a house in Silicon Valley.
【2】What’s the purpose of designing Galini Sleeping Pods?
A．To attract more people to visit the design studio DFA.
B．To give a rule for the future construction technology.
C．To call on architects to build more moveable communities.
D．To offer buyers chances to try living in a moveable house.
【3】What does the underlined word “they” in the last paragraph refer to? -
A．Solar panels.
B．The 3D-printed houses.
C．Tesla batteries.
D．The Walden Monterey Community.
【4】What can we infer from the text?
A．The style of the houses depends on buyers’ own ideas.
B．Buyers should pay off the expense of the houses in one attempt.
C．The money spent on constructing the houses is more than the cost of the lots.
D．Buyers of the houses are forbidden to get involved in the process of constructing.
23、 Is there a single word that motivates us more than “weekend”？ It's like the promise of a sweet hereafter following what seems like a lifetime of toil (劳累). It's the spring in our step that gets bouncier with each passing day - until by Friday, we're practically bumping our heads against the ceiling.
The trouble is that the weekend is a rip-off. You think you're getting 48 hours of unconditional downtime, but reality takes a discount. In fact, it takes most of Sunday. That's when anxiety comes creeping in and another countdown begins: 12 hours until Monday. Sure, weekend is free time. But the mounting stress of an incoming Monday can erase any joy you might get from a Sunday evening.
That feeling is so common among the Monday-to-Friday crowd, there's even more than one name for it: the Sunday Scaries, or Sunday Fear Syndrome. Going from a countdown to the weekend to a countdown to Monday can be difficult. Even Monster.com - a website that specializes in yoking humans to the Monday-to-Friday cycle -admits it's a problem. In a survey, Monster found that 76% of Americans have “really bad” Sunday night blues.
For most people, Sunday is no holiday at all. It may all come down to the same problem: We can't stop thinking about tomorrow. Even worse, we may develop some downright unhealthy coping strategies for that transition from weekends to Monday. Some might resist - staying up late, milking every minute of a fleeting Sunday in the form of mind-numbing distractions.
But why should Monday cast such a long and fearful shadow on our lives? Maybe it's because the counter is reset, and the weekend, or happiness, seems at its furthest point. If, like most of us, you have a tolerable job, but don't much like the whole idea of working, there are plenty of ways to make Mondays a little less stressful. Most importantly, don't leave any unsettled Friday business hanging over the weekend. So, clear the decks and tie up loose ends.
【1】What do we know about weekend in paragraph2?
A．It is hard-earned.
B．It doesn't bring joy as expected.
C．It adds to people's anxiety.
D．It provides good time to relax.
【2】Why does the writer mention Monster.com in the text?
A．To support his idea.
B．To clarify a question.
C．To show its popularity.
D．To provide more information.
【3】What does the writer think of the way most people spend the weekend?
A．Tolerant.
B．Conservative.
C．Practical.
D．Unwise.
【4】Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A．Why Monday Takes a Bite Out of Sunday
B．Why People Are Stressed Out on Fridays
C．Why a Countdown to the Weekend Is Difficult
D．Why Monday Casts a Fearful Shadow on Our Lives
24、On a Friday evening in December, two weeks before Christmas, I lost my job. I hadn’t seen it coming. I was excited for the weekend, when my daughter, Kristil, then 12, and I planned to get our Christmas tree. Then I listened to my voicemail: “We’re sorry but your work assignment has ended as of today.”My heart sank. I wasn’t just a single mother; I was the only parent. My paycheck was survival.
Over the next week, as my bank account grew smaller, I crazily applied for jobs, but I was defeated.
It had been snowing on and off all morning. I noticed a woman with short white hair struggling to open her car door against the wind. As she got out, I realized it was my old professor, Mrs. Heffernan. I hadn’t seen her since we’d met for lunch three months ago.
I’d first met Mrs. Heffernan 10 years earlier when I was her student at Edge wood College. Kristil was 3 at the time, and I sometimes took her to class. Mrs. Heffernan was understanding and would bring coloring books to occupy Kristil.
Even after I graduated, Mrs. Heffernan kept in touch. I had grown to love her like family.
I rushed to the front of my building. “What are you doing out in this weather?” I asked as we hugged.
“Well, I tried to call last week but couldn’t get through. Then I called your job and they said you weren’t working there anymore, so I thought I would come by,” she said. “I have gifts for you and Kristil. ”
I made her a cup of tea and we talked. Just being in Mrs. Heffernan’s presence gave me hope that things would be all right.
As she got up to leave she handed me a Christmas card and kissed me on the cheek. I walked her to her car and waved as she pulled away.
When I opened her card I was in shock. Hundred dollar bills fell onto the table. Tears of gratitude filled my eyes as I counted. Mrs. Heffernan had given me $1,000.

A．She was divorcing her husband.
B．She was fired unexpectedly.
C．She sent an e-mail.
D．She couldn’t afford a Christmas tree.
【2】What was Heffernan’s real purpose of visiting the author?
A．To have a talk with her.
B．To wish her a merry Christmas.

D．A professional expert.
