21、Detecting drugs used to be a specific job for dogs, but now a drug detection team is welcoming some new colleagues — squirrels. Six Eurasian red squirrels were trained and approved for work responsibilities by police in Chongqing in February.
Squirrels have an acute sense of smell as they can smell food under a foot of snow. Small and swift, the “newcomers” are able to search for drugs in places which may be unapproachable for dogs, such as narrow spaces or tops of packages stacked high in warehouses. The squirrels have been trained to use their claws to scratch at boxes to draw their handlers’ attention if they detect drugs, according to local Chongqing police authorities.
“Our self-developed training system can be applied to the training of various animals,” Yin Jin, a police dog handler in Chongqing, told Global Times, adding that the training has really impressive results as the squirrels can quickly identify drugs. Although the system is intended for dogs, it can show some evidence on how squirrels are trained as well.
According to a research essay published in the journal China Working Dog which details the program, conditioning the animals’ reflexes (反射) is the key factor. First, the animals are familiarized with the targets’ smell and do special gestures when they smell their targets. For example, for explosive detection dogs, the handlers place pieces of cloth with the smell of the explosives next to the dogs’ food.
Next, the animals learn to search for the targets under various conditions. From a large number of luggage bags to people walking in crowds, the handlers create different scenarios (情景) to test the animals. If the animals successfully identify the location of the targets, they are then rewarded with snacks or other treats. The animals are soon able to search for targets naturally and actively, showing that the conditioned reflex has been built internally. Their training ends with practice sessions in real-life scenarios.
【1】What advantage do squirrels have over dogs in drug detection?
A．Squirrels are much easier to train.
B．Squirrels are smarter and quicker.
C．Squirrels have a sharper sense of smell.
D．Squirrels can better fit into small spaces.
【2】How do the squirrels remind their handlers after finding boxes containing drugs?
A．By forcefully shaking their tails.
B．By sitting on the boxes and barking.
C．By jumping up and down on the boxes.
D．By scratching at the boxes with their claws.
【3】What does Yin think of their self-developed training system?
A．It still needs to be improved.
B．It will be introduced abroad.
C．It is effective in training squirrels.
D．It can be used to train all kinds of animals.
【4】When does a handler know his detecting animals have developed conditioned reflexes?
A．When his dogs can smell targets carefully.
B．When his mice can search for targets voluntarily.
C．When his squirrels can do different gestures flexibly.
D．When his bees can detect targets in different scenarios.
22、 The year 2018 will mark the 100h anniversary of the deadliest influenza outbreak in history. It is estimated that the influenza pandemic (瘟疫) of 1918 killed more than 50 million people around the world. Other estimates go much higher. Because of a lack of medical record-keeping, we may never know the exact number.
The influenza was a fast killer. Some victims died within hours of their first symptoms. Others died after a few days. “Their lungs filled with liquid and they choked to death.” The 1918 flu pandemic was also different from other outbreaks. It struck many young. healthy people. Viruses usually affect sick or old people.
Although modern medicine effectively controls many diseases, influenza remains difficult to protect against. The World Health Organization estimates that every year influenza kills 250,000 to 500,000 people around the world. Each year, medical scientists develop flu vaccines (疫苗) which offer immunity (免疫) from some influenza viruses. But they can only guess which form of the virus will spread.
Health officials remain concerned about another flu pandemic. New forms of the flu virus appear regularly. One example was the “swine flu” or H1N1 outbreak in 2009. Anthony Faucal, Director of the National Institute of Infectious Diseases in the United States says that virus caused a true pandemic.
To stop the next pandemic, scientists are now researching how to create a universal influenza vaccine. In October 2017, Vanderbilt University Medical Center in the U. S. announced the Universal Influenza Vaccine Initiative. The university said researchers are leading an international effort to develop a universal influenza vaccine that will protect everyone against all forms of the flu anywhere in the world. The university added that researchers will begin tests in early 2018. The Human Vaccines Project, a public-private partnership, is funding the project. However, until a universal influenza vaccine is available, today’s seasonal flu vaccine remains important.
【1】Why is influenza difficult to protect against?
A.It spreads too rapidly.
B.It is quite easy to catch.
C.No vaccine is available.
D.It's hard to judge the form of virus.
【2】What does the author want to tell by mentioning H1N1 in 2009?
A.New forms of flu virus keeps appearing.
B.It was the most serious in recent years.
C.It was caused by the same flu virus of 1918.
D.The H1N1 virus was deadly as well.
【3】What can we learn about the universal influenza vaccine?
A.The development is quite costly.
B.It will be used all over the world.
C.It can protect against all forms of flu.
D.It will soon come into use in 2019.
23、A few years ago, my father arranged to send me a mail-order fruitcake at Christmas time. Although I had a good job and apartment in Manhattan, he feared my cupboards might be bare. I had recently moved from California, where my parents still lived in their suburban bungalow (平房) of 50 years, the house I grew up in.
He wanted me to have a particular brand of fruitcake. A fruitcake, in his mind, was a perfect Christmas gift. Made in Texas, it was famous among fruitcake lovers — or at least, among people who gave fruitcake to those who were assumed to love them.
I knew there would be plenty to eat in California. For each Christmas, in addition to my mother’s cookies, fudge (乳脂软糖), and other treats, my father always gave my sister and me each a large bag of assorted foods he called, rather plainly, the “Food Bag”. One year, I secretly listed the contents of my Food Bag in a notebook for the day when I might not get a Food Bag for Christmas. That year, my bag contained a can of mixed nuts, a box of whole-wheat crackers, a Belgian chocolate bar, some English breakfast tea 9and many other items.
I was 44 when my father gave me that Food Bag, and he was 72.
That day before my flight to California, the fruitcake still hadn’t arrived. When my father called to wish me a safe trip and he said “Did you receive it?”
“Not yet,” I said. “Maybe it will be there today.” He regretted deeply about the lost fruitcake.
He remained hopefully the fruitcake would come by New Year’s Eve. But January, February and March came and went with no fruitcake. Though my father continued to ask about it. I never considered lying. Instead, I would say, “That cake is orbiting earth and sooner or later will land.”
As time went by, he would bring up the journey of his fruitcake. “I wonder where it is now.” he’d say.
Early last December, nearly a year after my father died, I got a call from a staffer of my apartment building, “You have a package.”
I went downstairs to pick it up. The brown box had a FedEx label with a return address in Texas.
【1】What does the underlined word “bare” probably mean in Paragraph 1?
A．Plain.
B．Short.
C．Empty.
D．Abundant.
【2】What would the author receive for each Christmas?
A．Treats from his parents.
B．A big Christmas dinner.
C．A food bag from his parents.
D．A Special fruitcake.
【3】Where did the fruitcake finally end up?
A．In Texas.
B．At Lost and Found.
C．In California.
D．In Manhattan.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Dad’s Mystery Package
B．Disturbing Delivery Service
C．My Favorite Food
D．Memorable Food Bags
24、When Carlos Westez died at the age of 76, a language died, too. Westez, more commonly known as Red Thunder Cloud, was the last speaker of the Native American language, Catawba.
Anyone who wants to hear different songs of the Catawba tribe can get in touch with the Smithsonian Institution in Washington，D.C.，where，back in the 1940s，Red Thunder Cloud recorded a series of songs for future generations. They are all that is left of the Catawba language. The language that people used to speak is gone forever.
We all know the damage that modern industry can do to the world's ecology. However, few people know the effect that widely spoken languages have on other languages and ways of life. English has spread all over the world. Chinese, Spanish, Russian, and Hindi have become powerful languages, as well. As these languages become more powerful, their use as tools of business and culture increases. When this happens, hundreds of languages that are spoken by only a few people die out.
Scholars believe there are about 6，000 languages around the world，but more than half of them could die out within the next 100 years. Araki is a native language of the island of Vanuatu，located in the Pacific Ocean. It is spoken by only a few older adults, so like Catawba，Araki will soon disappear. Many languages of Ethiopia will have the same fate because each one has only a few speakers. In the Americas, 100 languages also are dying out.
Red Thunder Cloud was one of the first to recognize the threat of language death and to try to do something about it. He was not actually born into the Catawba tribe，and the language was not his mother tongue. However，he was a frequent visitor to the Catawba reservation in South Carolina，where he learned the language. The songs he sang for the Smithsonian Institution helped to make Native American music popular. Now he is gone, and the language is dead.
【1】Why did Westez record songs for the Smithsonian Institution?
A．To fight for Native Americans’ rights.
B．To reserve the Catawba language.
C．To make Native American music popular.
D．To help young people learn Catawba songs.
【2】Which of the following led to the disappearance of Catawba?
A．Widely spoken languages.
B．Changes of lifestyles.
C．Population control.
D．Modern industry.
【3】How is paragraph 4 mainly developed?
A．By analyzing causes.
B．By giving examples.
C．By following time order.
D．By making comparisons.
【4】What can we learn about Red Thunder Cloud?
A．He passed away in the 1940s.
B．He was born into the Catawba tribe.
C．He learned Catawba from his mother.
D．He used to visit the Catawba reservation.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Marcus sat by his window, gazing at the blinking lights on other buildings. He thought of Papa who was visiting Marcus's sick grandpa in Jamaica. "I'll try to help Mama while you're gone." Marcus had promised his father.
His little brother, Peter, sat beside him. "When are we getting our Christmas tree, Marcus?" Peter asked. " I can't wait to decorate it with Mama's straw birds."
"We're not getting a tree this year, Peter”
"Why not?"
"Too many bills with Grandpa sick. Mama said we can't afford one."
Marcus walked slowly to his room and shook his piggy bank. Seven dollars in coin fell out, his tips them helping at the market.
With school out, he thought, maybe I can earn enough in two days to buy a tree and surprise Mama and Peter.
The next day, he stayed busy pushing cars to help shoppers. By the time he left, six more dollars jingled in his pocket. My lucky day, he though. Thirteen dollars should buy a small tree.
He whistled all the way to the lot. But even the smallest trees were $15 or more. Tomorrow will be busy with shoppers, he thought. I'll earn those extra dollars.
“Can you save this tree for me, Sir?" he asked the man in the lot.
“I can't, but come back tomorrow. It might still be here." the man said.
“I`ll be back." Marcus waved and dashed off.
The next morning, Mama came into his room. "The babysitter is sick. I'll need you to take care of Peter for a day." Mom said and gave Marcus a hug. I'll never get a tree now, Marcus thought. Later, Peter pleaded, "Can we go out?" After thinking for a moment, Marcus nodded. He took his brother to the tree lot. There, he saw that most of the trees were gone, including the one he had wanted.
Para l:
Then Marcus saw a very small tree in the corner.
