21、Children's fiction typically refers to any type of fictional work of writing that is written specifically for children. 【1】 The most common types include those told in poem form, stories for very young children, and works meant for older children. They can include older and traditional stories, such as nursery rhymes and fairy tales, as well as more modem stories that have been written more recently. Many works of children's fiction use songs and rhythms. 【2】
Though some children's fiction is intended for children of all ages, many works are specifically written for younger or older children. Picture books, for example, are often written for very young children, including toddlers（学步的小孩）and those just beginning to develop language. 【3】 They are frequently written in poem form as well, and can feature word choices that are intended to help young children begin to develop language. They have a very small vocabulary, frequently repeating words to allow children to hear them many times.
Children's fiction that is written for older children, on the other hand, may deal with more complex ideas that older children can understand. 【4】 This allows children who are learning to read to practice with words that are repeated and familiar, while still exposing them to a wide range of words. These works of children’s fiction often still have pictures, though there may be more words than pictures. 【5】 They help children move from picture books toward children's literature and young adult books.
A．These books are often quite short in length.
B．They are typically meant as a bridge for children.
C．Kids aren5t the only ones reading children’s fiction.
D．There are many different types of children's fiction.
E．Books for young readers often deal with very interesting topics.
F．This allows such works to be more easily read aloud to young children.
G．These works may also repeat words, but often have a larger vocabulary.

23、Golden eagle populations in the UK are set to increase as some chicks are reintroduced to the north of England. Ten birds will be released(释放)from south of Edinburgh in summer 2018, with the hope of bringing the species back from disappearing in England. More eagles will be released in the summertime of the next five years.
The project received ￡ 1.3 million of lottery funding in March and has now been awarded a further ￡ 150,000 to employ workers to run the operation. Project manager Cat Barlow said: “This is a really exciting time as the project is now starting to happen and we will soon start to see its benefits. Work will start next summer, when we will collect a number of golden eagle chicks in the Highlands and bring them south to be reared and released from an already selected place.”
The birds will be released with satellite tracking tags that will allow the scientists to gather information about their behavior and find if they suddenly go offline.
Recently, golden eagles have died out in England as the last known individual is believed to have died. Due to the popularity of shooting birds of prey(食肉猛禽), those birds in the wild struggle to survive. Main causes of death are systematic poisoning, shooting and nest disturbance by gamekeepers.
It is hoped that the newly released birds will move further south in search of new living areas and food supplies. The project expects to see the number of wild birds in Scotland and England increase as the range of the animals develops. While the birds were gone in England, in the Highlands of Scotland the number of golden eagles rocketed. With up to 500 breeding pairs, the chicks will be sourced from here. It is hoped that golden eagles may finally return to the north of England, and if all goes well, numbers should grow steadily.
【1】Why will some golden eagles be set free from south of Edinburgh?
A．To keep the balance of nature
B．To prevent eagles from dying out
C．To bring back the number of other species
D．To encourage more birds to live in the wild
【2】Which word can replace the underlined word “reared” in Paragraph 2?
A．Raised
B．Stored
C．Sold
D．Exhibited
【3】What does Paragraph 4 focus on ?
A．Harmful effects of shooting birds
B．Why animal hunting should be forbidden
C．Reasons for golden eagles’ dying out
D．The difficult situation golden eagles face
【4】What is the author’s attitude towards the golden eagle project?
A．Ambiguous
B．Cautious
C．Doubtful
D．Hopeful
24、When the discovery of fossilized (化石的) footprints made in what’s now New Mexico was made public in 2021, it was an astonishing moment for archaeology (考古学), seemingly rewriting a chapter of the human story. Now new research is offering further evidence of their significance.
While they look like they could have been made yesterday, the footprints were pressed into mud 21,000 to 23,000 years ago, according to radiocarbon dating of the seeds of a water plant that were preserved above and below the fossils. This date dramatically pushed back the timeline of humans’ history in the Americas, the last land to be settled by prehistoric people. The 61 dated prints, which were discovered in the Tularosa Basin, near the edge of an ancient lake in White Sands National Park, were made at a time when many scientists think that massive ice sheets had stopped human passage into North America, indicating that humans arrived in the region even earlier.
However, some archaeologists questioned the age of the footprints established by those initial findings. They noted that water plants such as Ruppia cirrhosa — the one used in the 2021 study — can acquire carbon atoms from the water rather than the air, which can result in a misleadingly early date.
In a follow-up study published Thursday in the journal Science, researchers said they have produced two new lines of evidence to support their initial dates. “Even as the original work was being published, we were speeding up to test our results with multiple lines of evidence,” said Kathleen Springer, co-lead author on the new Science paper, in a news release. “We were confident in our original ages, as well as the strong evidence.”
When and how early humans first moved to the Americas has long been debated and remains poorly understood. Current estimates range from 13,000 years ago to more than 20,000 years ago. However, the earliest archaeological evidence for the region’s settlement is insufficient and often controversial, making the footprints especially important.
【1】What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A．The purpose of the new research
B．The method of the dating
C．The significance of the footprints.
D．The efforts of the scientists
【2】Why did some archaeologists question the age of the footprints?
A．It goes against the prior knowledge.
B．The prints seem to be made recently.
C．The previous research method is improper.
D．The then massive ice sheets are misleading.
【3】What will the author probably talk about next?
A．The doubt about the age of the footprints.
B．The new evidence of the fossilized footprints.
C．An agreement between the two sides of the debate.
D．Early humans hardship of moving to the Americas.
【4】What is the purpose of the text?
A．To explain the process of archaeological study.
B．To report the discovery of fossilized footprints.
C．To introduce a debate on the age of the footprints.
D．To present the progress of the footprint research.
