22、In southwestern Spain, the Donana National Park is known as the nation’s crown jewel. It is a protected wetlands area home to many animals, including hundreds of thousands of birds that visit it for the winter. Many others use it as a stopping place during migration. Five kinds of threatened birds, including the Spanish imperial eagle, live in Donana.

Now, after a summer of record-high temperatures and little rain, the wetlands are dry and smelly. Most fish and birds are gone. Bodies of water called lagoons (泻湖) are at the heart of the park. Most dry up and refill throughout the year. Santa Olalla is the park’s biggest lagoon. It traditionally has water year round. In the summer, it provides water to needy plants and animals. But this year, Santa ODlalla dried up.

Diaz is a biologist who studies the park. She stepped into the park with a little bit of water and said to a reporter, “Seeing this last bit of water makes me think that the entire park is dry. The time to save the park was 20 years ago, but nothing was done.” She added, “The environment always loses against the economy.” According to Diaz, the development of those cities around the park and farms in other areas are putting pressure on the wetlands.

For example, Matalascanas, once a quiet fishing village, now a popular center for beach vacations, requires too much water from Donana, which is making some of the park’s lagoons go dry. Farther away, in the area called Huelva, traditional Spanish olive crops have been replaced by berry farms. The berries bring in more money than olives, but they require more water to grow.

According to wildlife expert Felipe, there are thousands of illegal wells in the area taking ground water without permission, severely affecting the water resources of the wetlands. He stressed, “Besides the dry weather, the park is also suffering from poor supervision.”

Spain’s government is working on how to close some of the wells and considering projects that would send some water from rivers in other parts of the country to help bring life back to Donana.

【1】What message does the first paragraph intend to convey?

A．The beauty of the national park.

B．The extreme weather of this year.

C．The effective protection of wildlife.

D．The good condition of the wetlands.

【2】The biologist Diaz may be in favor of the view that________.

A．It is economic benefit that leads to the water overuse.

B．It is too late to take measures to protect the national park.

C．The fishing village should be developed into a vacationland.

D．Many projects will be launched to dig wells for water resources.

【3】Where is the passage most likely from?

A．A diary.

B．A magazine.

C．A guidebook.

D．A novel.

【4】What would be the best title for the passage?

A．The Protected Spanish Wetlands Are Drying Up

B．The Drying National Park Threatens Rare Birds

C．The City Development Puts Pressure on Wetlands

D．The Government Helps Bring Life Back to Lagoons

23、Early people didn’t need to know the exact time of day. They slept when it was dark and worked when it was light.

33,000—28,000 B.C.

People notice that changes in the weather (the seasons) are connected to changes in the sun, moon, and stars.

8,000 B.C.

Chinese, the Maya, and Sumerians develop calendars based on the cycles of the sun (a year) and the moon (a month). Most people are farmers. Calendars tell them when to plant crops and when their animals will have babies.

1,500 B.C.

People in Egypt and Sumer develop some of the first water clocks. Unlike sundials, water clocks measure time even when it’s cloudy.

1370—1410

European cities build towers with mechanical clocks inside. Every hour, a bell is rung for all to hear.

1850

Most Americans now have clocks at home. Trains keep exact schedules. Railroad workers carry pocket watches that don’t gain or lose more than 30 seconds in a week.

1955

An atomic clock is built in England. It measures oscillations(颤动) of light from cesium atoms. The light oscillates even faster than quartz crystals. Atomic clocks are the most accurate clocks yet.

26、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

Cold drew many to South Africa and it was gold hut has just restored my faith in this chaotic nation.

As a British living in Cape Town, I recently received the call that my father had passed away. After the funeral in England, my mother gave me a gold ring, worn for decades by Dad and before him, by his own father. I’ve never really been into jewellery, yet when I sipped the ring on my finger it felt somehow right. Consoled (抚慰) in my grief by Dad’s beloved ring, I flew home to South Africa.

All went well until a windy Saturday when I walked on our local beach. As so often in the Cape, it was fiercely windy. When I got home and lit the fire, I looked at my left hand. The ring wasn’t there. Awful emotions washed over me—shock, horror, remorse, anger, powerlessness, guilt—a potential life sentence of guilt. Hoping that it had not been dropped on the beach, I looked everywhere else. Maybe the car? I searched every corner of it but fruitless. Maybe the house? Nothing.

It must have been the beach, an area stretching 200 metres from the car park—the ring, a very small needle in an ocean.

I was out at first light the next day but with no luck, discouraged. My only hope was this—the wind had been so strong that the ring could have been buried. It might just be there, somewhere.

I swore to recover it no matter how much I would pay, so I contacted local metal detector users. Two came to help, one even lending me his gear (设备). “Take as long as you need,” he said. Days of searching passed quickly, we found an old mobile phone, a 50 cent coin and a lot of bottle tops.

With my hopes filing, a third detectionist (探测者), Allan, called to help me.
