21、Coming upon a clear - cut in an old forest is a shocking experience. Tees large and small are collapsed one above the other in pile, and the ground is covered with the tracks of heavy machinery. Such was the scene when forest activist Zack Porter and I hiked a newly built logging (伐木) road in Green Mountain National Forest.
Clear - cutting in the American forests has long been widespread. But now, the Forest Habitat Creation Project represents new reasoning which is hotly debated - that clear - cutting benefits native creatures. The thinking is that clear - cutting done wisely can mimic natural disturbances, for example, from insect invasions or from storms overturning older trees that produce what ecologists call Early Successional Habitats - places where young trees and bushes get the upper hand and animals that depend on such habitat thrive.
The project also states that forests “can only be saved by being destroyed” - by keeping them young. Timber (木材) interests are enthusiastic about the approach because it lets them profit from cutting trees while claiming the significance of conservation. Hunting groups favor it because a younger, less thick forest makes it easier to find the game and birds they're tracking.
Nevertheless, Porter says, “Allowing some of the oldest standing trees in New England to be removed is equal to dereliction of duty on the part of the government, who sees the forests as commodities (商品).” “Forests can produce clean water, clean air, carbon storage, and biodiversity that we need,” he continues as we walk among lovely mixed hardwoods and evergreens that are cut down for logging. “We shouldn't be removing them for short - term gain.”
In this sense, Zack Porter's description of logging for wildlife for short - term gain - the short - term gain of favoring habitat for species people today want to see and hunt - is reasonable.

22、It is said that a great many things about languages are mysterious, and many will always be so. But some things we do know.
Firstly, we know that all human beings have a language of some kind. There is no race of men anywhere on earth so backward that it has no language, no set of speech sounds by which the people communicate with one another. In historical times, there has never been a race of men without a language.
Secondly, there is no such thing as a primitive language. There are many people whose cultures are underdeveloped, who are, as we say, uncivilized, but the languages they speak are not primitive. In all known languages we can see complexities that must have been tens of thousands of years in developing.
This has not always been well understood; indeed, the direct contrary has often been stated. Popular ideas of the language of the American Indians will illustrate. Many people have guessed that the Indians communicated in a very primitive system of noises. Study has proved this to be nonsense. There are, or were, hundreds of American Indian languages, and all of them turn out to be very complicated and very old. They are certainly different from the languages that most of us are familiar with, but they are no more primitive than English and Greek.
A third thing we know about language is that all languages are perfectly adequate. This means each one is a perfect means of expressing the culture of the people who speak the language.
Finally, we know that language changes. It’s natural and normal for language to change; the only languages which do not change are the dead ones. This is easy to understand if we look backward in time. Change goes on in all aspects of language. Grammatical features change as do speech sounds and changes in vocabulary are sometimes very extensive and may occur very rapidly. Vocabulary is the least stable part of any language.
【1】In the 2nd paragraph the author thinks that ________.
A. some backward races don’t have a language of their own
B. some races in history didn’t possess a language of their own
C. any human race, whether backward or not, has a language
D. some races on earth can communicate without a language
【2】As the author says, people of underdeveloped cultures can have ________ languages.
A. complicated B. uncivilized
C. primitive D. well-known
【3】American Indian languages are mentioned to prove that they are ________.
A. as fully developed as some well-known languages
B. more primitive than some well-known languages
C. more complex than some well-known languages
D. just as primitive as some well-known language
【4】According to the author, language changes are most likely to appear in ________.
A. grammar B. vocabulary
C. intonation D. pronunciation
23、According to a new study, “prosocial (亲社会的) spending” may be as good for your blood pressure as a healthy diet and exercise. The majority of us believe that the way to become happier and healthier is by spending money on ourselves. We put in extra hours at work and save up money to be able to buy the things that we believe will bring us happiness. But what if spending money on ourselves isn’t the best way to become happier?
Past research has shown that when we spend money on others, we actually experience greater well-being than if we were to spend that money on ourselves. Could something as simple as buying a friend dinner or donating to charity improve our health, too — and if so, how? According to a paper published this February in the journal Health Psychology, it can — and one way it works is by lowering blood pressure.
In an initial study, researchers looked at the relationship between giving money to others(or “prosocial spending”) and blood pressure, a simple measure of cardiovascular (心血管的) health. One hundred eighty-six adults with high blood pressure were asked to report how much money they spent on charities, and then followed up with two years later. By then, the participants who had originally spent the most on charities had lower blood pressure than participants who had spent less money. This association held even after accounting for the effects of income, education level, and age.
Why does prosocial spending have these benefits? One possibility is that it increases how socially connected we feel. Feeling closer to the people we help can improve our relationships with others, which have a large impact on our health.
When we give our money and time to others, research suggests, even giving small amounts of money can be beneficial, and we end up gaining something as a result: We experience increases in health and happiness. In particular, giving to others may help build up our relationships and develop resilience (适应力) in the face of stress.
【1】What is most people’s view on how to get happier according to the text？
A．By working extra hours.
B．By spending money on themselves.
C．By donating money to charities.
D．By keeping a healthy diet.
【2】What can we learn from paragraph 3?
A．Giving money to others can measure cardiovascular health.
B．Prosocial spending reduces the negative health effects of stress.
C．Happiness comes from leading a life full of purpose and meaning.
D．The participants spending the most on charities had lower blood pressure.
【3】What may the researchers disagree with about the benefits of prosocial spending?
A．It leads to more promotion in career.
B．It increases our health and happiness.
C．It strengthens relationships with others.
D．It develops resilience in the face of stress.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A．How Can We Maximize the Health Benefits of Giving?
B．The More Money We Spend on Others, the Happier and Healthier We Are
C．Spending Money on Others Can Lower Your Blood Pressure
D．Why Does Spending Money on Ourselves Make Us Much Healthier?
24、 There’s one easy thing you can do every day to live longer and happier, according to a recent study, and it has nothing to do with diet, exercise, or cutting out bad habits.
A review of nearly 150 studies with more than 300,000 participants found that having active social circles decreases your chances of dying by 50 percent, regardless of age, gender or medical history. “When we’re social, we live longer.” Dr. Kelli Harding noted, “Loneliness is more of a risk factor to health than other known risk factors, like high blood pressure and obesity.”
The findings are written up in Dr. Harding’s new book，The Rabbit Effect, which is about how kindness, rather than laughter, may be the best medicine. The book gets its title from a famous 1978 study of the relationship between cholesterol（胆固醇）and heart health in rabbits. Researchers accidentally discovered that those rabbits that received the most affection from their human handlers lived much longer than the others.
We live in a world where most of our social interactions happen through our phones. But to get the health benefits of a more active social circle, you don’t have to throw away your device and join a book club. More casual interactions with neighbors, shop owners, and others you meet every day can do the trick. Increasingly，those relationships can start online. That’s where Nextdoor comes in. The stated purpose of the company is “to cultivate a kinder world where everyone has a neighborhood they can depend on”.
When asked for advice on one thing you can do to live longer and happier, Dr. Harding said it perfectly, “Be kind. It’s actually pretty amazing how much each person can make the world a better，kinder，healthier place. It really takes very little and you never know the impact you have on somebody.”
【1】What do we know about The Rabbit Effect?
A.Its title comes from a study. B.It's a report about heart health.
C.Laughter could cure diseases. D.Rabbits could help live longer.
【2】What’s the purpose of Nextdoor?
A.To advocate online shopping to save time.
B.To offer the neighborhood sports facilities.
C.To settle the arguments among the families.
D.To create a harmonious community to rely on.
【3】What does the underlined phrase “do the trick” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.Improve health and wellness. B.Set up online relationships.
C.Build a happy and warm family. D.Keep away from bad habits.
【4】What can be inferred from Dr. Harding’s words in the last paragraph?
A.We can look for a kind neighborhood.
B.We should be kind to animals in the wild.
C.Every small act of kindness can make a difference.
D.All kinds of social activities can make a better world.
