22、When whales die and sink to the ocean floor, their bodies -known as whale falls -provide rich nutrients for other creatures of the deep.
Chinese scientists found a whale fall in the South China Sea during a recent scientific research voyage. It was the first time that Chinese researchers had run across this rare type of ecosystem. It was an important finding, showing China's progress in deep-sea exploration technology, Xie said, a professor at Sun Yat-sen University.
During the 22-day deep-sea exploration from March 10 to April 2. 60 scientists conducted 22 dives and successfully completed a number of scientific tasks. The research aimed to gather information about the key processes of typical seamount ecosystems in the Western Pacific: Ocean. The whale fall was found in a seamount 1,600 meters deep in the central South China Sea. Though the whale fall was only about 3 meters long, it was of great importance in understanding the sea ecosystems, Xie said.
There were dozens of white armored shrimp, red shrimp and several eels found near the whale fall. The eels were eating the tail muscles of the whale fall. This shows that the whale died not long ago and that the whale fall was still in the first stage of decomposition and thus had rare value for long-term observation, Xie said.
Like cold springs, whale falls are homes for creatures of the deep. In the northern Pacific Ocean, they have supported the survival of at least 12,490 kinds of organisms—classed in 43 species—and promote prosperity far beneath the surface, according to data from the university.

23、Leonardo da Vinci, one of the greatest thinkers in the world, began his career as an artist. Very little is known about Leonardo's early life. He was born in 1452 in the town of Vinci. As a boy, Leonardo showed a great interest in drawing, sculpting and observing nature.
However, because Leonardo was born to parents who were not married to each other, he was barred from some studies and professions. He trained as an artist after moving to Florence with his father in the 1460s. It was an exciting time to be in Florence, one of the cultural capitals of Europe. Leonardo trained with one of the city's very successful artists, Andrea del Verrocchio. He was a painter, sculptor and gold worker. Verrocchio told his students that they needed to understand the body's bones and muscles when drawing people.
Leonardo took the teacher's advice very seriously. He spent several periods of his life studying the human body by taking apart and examining dead bodies. While training as an artist, Leonardo also learned about and improved on relatively new painting methods at the time. One was the use of perspective (透视) to show depth. A method called "sfumato" helped to create a cloudy effect to suggest distance. "Chiaroscuro" is a method using light and shade as a painterly effect.
Leonardo's first known portrait now hangs in the National Gallery in Washington, D. C. He made this painting of a young woman named Ginevra de'Benci around 1474. The woman has a pale face with dark hair. In the distance, Leonardo painted the Italian countryside.
He soon received attention for his extraordinary artistic skills. Around 1475 he was asked to draw an angel in Verrocchio's painting "Baptism of Christ." One story says that when Verrocchio saw Leonardo's addition to the painting, he was so amazed by his student's skill that he said he would never paint again.
【1】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage ______ ？
A．We can find Leonardo's work in the National Gallery.
B．Leonardo thought his teacher's advice was unreasonable.
C．"Sfumato"is a method to show depth by using light and shade.
D．"Baptism of Christ"made Leonardo known across the world.
【2】The underlined word"barred"in the second paragraph probably means ________.

b. He moved to Florence.
c. He finished drawing an angel in his teacher's painting.

24、Would it surprise you to learn that the vast majority of adults—around 75 per cent—tell up to two lies every day? That’s according to a recent US study. What this suggests then is that you’ve probably told a lie or two in the past 24 hours and chances are you’ve also been lied to.
Before you start protesting your innocence or confronting loved ones and colleagues, though, it’s worth noting that the bulk of these lies fall into the “hardly worth mentioning” category. Think little white lies such as attempting to spare someone’s feelings or gently twisting the facts to avoid looking bad.
People tell lies for a variety of reasons, say the US researchers. Just over 20 percent are told in a bid to avoid other people; a further 20 percent are jokes; 14 percent are told in self-protection; 13 percent are attempts to make a good impression; 11 percent are told to protect others; and 9 percent are for personal gain. Still, less than 12 percent of lies can be categorized as “big lies”— and these are usually the ones that really matter. An example of a big lie, according to the study’s authors, would be saying “I love you” without being sincere.
So, are there any body language giveaways that can help “out” someone who’s lying? Back in 2015, University of Michigan researchers identified some common behaviors among liars, including frowning or grimacing (扮怪相), looking directly at the questioner in a bid to appear trustworthy, and overcompensating by gesturing with both hands. A more recent study, from Erasmus University in Rotterdam, found that liars may unconsciously mimic the body language of those around them while their brains are otherwise engaged in telling lies. It’s also worth looking out for the “eye dart”: when we glance to the left, we’re attempting to recall facts and events; when we look to the right, we’re thinking more creatively.
Vocal factors can offer a good clue, too. People who are being deliberately dishonest — or who lack certainty in what they’re saying — tend to speak slower and place less emphasis on the middle of words, according to a study at the Sorbonne University in Paris. Interestingly, the researchers also found that listeners automatically registered these voice changes as a sign of dishonesty, even when they weren’t being asked to do so.
Earlier studies have suggested that we may know intuitively when someone is lying. It’s important to remember though that none of these pointers offer undeniable evidence that you’re dealing with a liar. After all, some people just grimace more or speak slower than others.
【1】Which of the following lies are not categorized as “hardly worth mentioning”?
A．“I love your new haircut.”
B．“Relax. It makes no difference to me.”
C．“I am so into you.”
D．“My train was cancelled” instead of “I overslept and missed my train”.
【2】How does a liar’s body language give away himself?
A．He looks directly at the questioner to show his trust in him.
B．He unintentionally repeats the gesture made by the person he talks to.
C．He keeps glancing to the left from time to time when he talks.
D．He speaks slower and emphasizes the middle of the words less.
【3】What can we infer from the passage?
A．On average, all of us are lied to once or twice a day.
B．Most of the lies are told for the benefit of others.
C．A liar tends to gesture too much with both hands when he lies.
D．A dishonest man lacks certainty in what he’s saying.
【4】Which of the following statements does the author agree with?
A．We should rely on our intuition when spotting a liar.
B．Body language alone can serve as a sign of dishonesty.
C．Those who grimace more while speaking must be a liar.
D．There is no reliable pointer to identify a liar.
25、It's the stuff of travel nightmares (噩梦).Taking something precious on your trip, keeping it close to hand so you don't risk______.it in checked baggage - and then realizing you don't have it when you get home.
For Rachel DeGolia, the nightmare of losing something on a______came true.In September, her______collection of family letters from the 1940s to 1970s was left on a plane as it pulled into Chicago Midway Airport.

Normally, the procedure for reuniting items with their owners is fairly_ ______.Agents like Haffner look for any identification on the item, and then ______ the name to a passenger booking.If the person has been on a connecting flight, that's not an issue, because they have a database of______ going back a couple of years.But the______ was that the only identifying name in the whole batch of letters was Rachel DeGolia - and she hadn't been on the fight.
