21、The potential of a simple gesture in a time of crisis was illustrated when the then aged 99-year-old British army veteran Captain Tom Moore decided to raise some money for health workers and patients.
Inspired by the excellent treatment he had received in hospital for skin cancer in 2018, in early April he promised to complete 100 laps of his garden, using his walking frame for support, before his 100th birthday at the end of the month. His aim was to raise a modest £ 1,000.
But news of Captain Tom’s efforts soon reached the ears of a nation desperate for some good news amid the lockdown and captured the public’s imagination. He was featured in newspapers and on TV, and even teamed up with the singer Michael Ball and a health-workers’ choir to record a charity version of You’ll Never Walk Alone, becoming the oldest person ever to top the charts in the UK.
On April 16, Captain Tom completed his 100 laps ahead of schedule, having raised more than £ 17 million. “I never dreamt I would be involved in an occasion such as this,” he announced.
But this was just the beginning. The enthusiasm for Captain Tom showed no sign of becoming less as people admired his efforts in different ways, such as knitting dolls and painting murals. By the time he reached his 100th birthday on April 30, he had raised nearly £ 33 million, which was used to provide comfort and care for National Health Service workers.
What is his response? “To all those people who are finding it difficult at the moment…the sun will shine on you again, and the clouds will go away.”
“I’ve never been someone that has sat around,” he laughs, adding that he enjoyed the challenge. “The first lap was the hardest, but after that I just got used to it.” And he believes the secret for his success — and also his long life — is simple: “It’s all about having the right mindset. You’ve got to be hopeful and to think that things will get better.”

22、 It’s 1944, in occupied Paris. Four friends spend their days in an arrow room atop a Left Bank apartment building. The neighbors think they’re painters — a cover story to explain the chemical smell. In fact, the friends are members of a Jewish resistance cell. They’re operating a secret laboratory to make false passports for children and families about to be deported to concentration camps (集中营). The youngest member of the group, the lab’s technical director, is practically a child himself. Adolfo Kaminsky, age 18.
In the summer of 1943, he and his family were arrested and sent to Drancy, the internment camp for Jews near Paris that was the last stop before the death camps. This time, their passports saved them. Argentina’s government protested the family’s detention, so they stayed at Drancy for three months, while thousands of others were swiftly sent on to die. The Kaminskys were eventually freed, but they weren’t safe in Paris, where Jews were under constant threat of arrest.
To survive they would have to go underground. Kaminsky’s father arranged to get false papers from a Jewish resistance group, and sent Kaminsky to pick them up. When the agent told Kaminsky that they were struggling to erase a certain blue ink from the documents, he advised using lactic acid, a trick he’d learned at the dairy. It worked, and he was invited to join the resistance. Kaminsky’s cell was one of many. Historians estimated that France’s Jewish resistance networks together saved 7,000 to 10,000 children.
Kaminsky never took a penny form forging. He thought the money would ruin his belief. He made a living by taking some commercial photos. To this day, 94-year-old Kaminsky feels guilty he survived the Holocaust, in despite of the fact that his remarkable work as a forger during World War II saved the lives of thousands of Jews. “I saved lives because I can’t deal with unnecessary deaths — I just can’t. All humans are equal, whatever their origins, their beliefs, their skin color.”
【1】What is the main duty of the Jewish resistance cell?
A.To provide an apartment building for painters.
B.To protect Jewish people from being killed.
C.To make fake identities for all families.
D.To train students to operate laboratories.
【2】What happened to Kaminsky in 1943?
A.He was sent to a concentration camp. B.He moved to live in Argentina.
C.He was swiftly sent on to die. D.He protested his family’s detention
【3】Which of the following words can best describe Kaminsky?
A.Enthusiastic and gentle. B.Expressive and humble.
C.Disciplined and modest. D.Courageous and helpful.
【4】What does the story intend to tell us?
A.Don’t raise the white flag quite yet.
B.You want to get rough, we can get rough.
C.There is always a bit of light even in the darkness.
D.No-one hits the bull’s-eye with the first arrow.
23、What do you usually do to comfort your friends when they are sad? You probably pat them on the shoulder, or give them a warm hug.
We used to think that knowing when and how to comfort others was an ability that only humans have. But scientists have discovered that apes (猩猩) have this ability too.
Two researchers from Emory University in Atlanta, US, went to an Ape Protection Centre in Congo to study bonobos (倭黑猩猩), which are closely related to humans.
The researchers analyzed the bonobos’ reactions (反应) after more than 370 cases of stressful situations, such as fights and losing temper, and found that some bonobos rushed to hug those that were screaming after being attacked, just like humans would have done.
However, researchers found that not all bonobos were able to comfort others. In the protection center, many bonobos are orphans whose mothers were killed by hunters. They were found to be more worried in times of tension and have greater difficulty controlling their own emotions, making them worse at reaching out to help friends in need.
“Orphans, who have not had the benefit of a mother helping them handling their emotions, are much worse at comforting others,” Professor Frans de Waal told The Telegraph. “Bonobos with moms were able to curb their negative emotional reactions more quickly. Therefore, they pay more attention to others.”
This pattern mirrors the way that human children have been found to react. Those who are good at handling their own emotions—for example, those who can calm themselves down more quickly after upsetting experiences—are usually better at expressing their concerns for others.
【1】The 5th paragraph is mainly developed by________．
A. making comparisons B. following time order
C. giving examples D. presenting causes and effects
【2】The underlined word “curb” in the 6th paragraph probably means“________”．
A. express B. watch
C. hide D. control
【3】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Orphan bonobos never give a hand to friends.
B. There were 370 bonobos in the research.
C. Moms play an important role in dealing with kids’ emotions.
D. Only human beings have the ability to comfort others.
【4】What’s the main purpose of this passage?
A. To provide better protection for Apes.
B. To inform readers of a new study.
C. To uncover the mystery of Apes.
D. To compare human behaviors with Apes’.
24、 Most animal species in the world have developed some sort of natural camouflage that helps them find food and avoid attack. The specific nature of this camouflage varies considerably from species to species.
Camouflage develops differently depending on the physiology and behavior of an animal.【1】
An animal's environment is often the most important factor in what the camouflage looks like. The simplest camouflage technique is for an animal to match the "background" of its surroundings.
Since the ultimate goal of camouflage is to hide from other animals, the physiology and behavior of an animal's predators or prey is highly significant. 【2】. For example, there’s no point in an animal replicating the color of its surroundings if is main predator is color-blind.
In addition to background-matching coloration, many animals have distinctive designs on their bodies that serve to conceal them. These designs, which might be spots, stripes or a group of patches, can help the animal in a couple of ways. First, they may match the pattern of "the model", the background of the animal's surroundings. Second, they may serve as visual disruptions. Usually, the patterns are positioned out-of-line with the body's contours (外形). 【3】. This makes it hard for the predator to get a clear sense of where the animal begins and ends — the pattern on the body seems to nun of in every direction.
Other animals use a more aggressive sort of mimicry. Several moth species have developed striking designs on their wings that resemble the eyes of a larger animal. The back of the hawk moth caterpillar actually looks like a snake head, a frightening visage for most predators he moth would come across.
Mimicry is a different approach than ordinary camouflage, but it works toward the same end. By developing a certain appearance, an animal species makes itself a harder target for predators and a sneakier hunter for prey. As animal species evolve, they become more and more in tune with their environment. 【4】. After all, being entirely overlooked by a predator is preferable to having to put up a fight.
A．Often, these sorts of adaptations are more effective survival tools than an animal's more aggressive weapons of defense (teeth, claws, beaks).
B．This disruptive coloration is particularly effective when animals in a species are grouped together.
C．For example, an animal that swims in large schools underwater will develop different camouflage than one that swings alone through the tees.
D．An animal will not develop any camouflage that does not help it survive.
E．In this case, the various elements of the natural habitat may be referred to as the "model" for the camouflage.
F．That is, the pattern seems to be a separate design superimposed on top of the animal.
