21、A sleepover (在外过夜的聚会) at Legoland Discovery Centre, at the Trafford Centre in Manchester, may sound like the perfect place to host your child's next birthday party — but it will set parents back more than ￡1,000.
All rides — Kingdom Quest Laser Ride, Merlin's Apprentice and Lego City Forest Pursuit — are open during the evening and supervision (监管) on these rides is provided at all times. The Lego Studios 4D Cinema is also open and guests have exclusive use of the Lego construction play area until 10:00 pm, which means you will have a good time and don't need to share any facilities with other groups.
But at ￡35 a head, with a minimum guest list of 30, it's unlikely to be something the average parent could afford, reports Manchester Evening News.
A Legoland spokesman said: "The sleepover package is aimed at groups such as boys between eight and ten, girls between six and eight and youth groups, however it is open to everyone within the terms of the offer. " There is a birthday room to use, and in regard to food, snack boxes can be purchased for the additional cost of ￡4.50. Guests are also welcome to bring along their own food and drinks, and there are storage facilities where they can be kept.
"Also we do have daytime party packages available, which are ￡15 per child midweek and ￡18 per child at the weekend. But these packages have a policy of a minimum of nine and a maximum of 21 people, due to room capacity. "
The spokesman continued, "Included in the price for these parties is the birthday cake, and children's meal of sandwiches, crisps, fruit juice, fruit and Haribo sweets. All attending adults also get a free hot drink and the birthday child gets a free group photograph."
Legoland says that the pricing for the sleepover package is based on overall operating costs of opening the centre exclusively for the group.

22、 Time to load up some popular games: new research indicates pigs possess the mental capability to play video games. The study, published in Frontiers In Psychology, tested the ability of four pigs（Hamlet, Omelette, Ebony and Ivory)to play a simple joystick(操纵杆）game with their noses, moving a cursor(光标）to four targets on the screen. Although the animals didn’t demonstrate the skills to win a round any time soon, they did show an understanding of some elementary games.
Performing well above chance, the pigs appeared to recognize the movement of the cursor was controlled by the joystick. The fact that they did so well despite a lack of flexible fingers is “extraordinary”, according to the researchers.
“It is no small achievement for an animal, to grasp the concept that the behaviour they are performing is having an effect elsewhere. That pigs can do this to any degree should give us pause as to what else they are capable of learning and how such learning may impact them,” said Purdue University’s Dr Candace Croney, the study’s lead author.
Researchers also noted that while the pigs could be taught to play the game using food as positive motivation, they also responded well to social interaction. In fact, when the game was made more challenging and the pigs became unwilling to participate in, “only oral encouragement by the experimenter” would see training continue.
These findings are the latest to highlight the intelligence of pigs. Not only have they been shown to use mirrors to find hidden food, but studies have also demonstrated how pigs can be taught to “come” and “sit” after oral commands.
“As with any sentient(有感觉力的）beings, how we interact with pigs and what we do to them impacts and matters to them,” Croney said. “We therefore have a moral duty to understand how pigs acquire information, and what they are capable of leaning and remembering, because it ultimately offers the potential for how they understand their interactions with us and their environments.”
【1】What can we learn from Paragraphs 1 and 2?
A．Pigs have the potential to play games well.
B．Pigs have noses as flexible as human hands.
C．Pigs possess the mental ability we didn’t know.
D．Pigs know well about what they are playing.
【2】What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A．Playing joystick games so well.
B．Realizing the effects of their acts.
C．Carrying out tasks with their noses.
D．Following human oral commands.
【3】Which of the following can improve the performance of trained pigs?
A．Less challenging video games.
B．A nice treat before the experiment.
C．Severe punishment if necessary.
D．Inspiring words from experimenters.
【4】What does the author think of the research findings?
A．They reflect the needs to interact more with animals.
B．They offer humans ideas of how to live with animals.
C．They encourage us to explore how pigs interact with us.
D．They show us how pigs interact with their environments.

24、 Many black-footed ferrets (雪貂) once lived in the American West. They live mainly on prairie dogs (土拨鼠). But when farmers began killing off prairie dogs, lots of them died, too. Additionally, the environment in which they lived was destroyed. By the 1970s, most experts believed that black-footed ferrets no longer existed. Then, in 1981, a group of them were found in Wyoming, but they were suddenly hit by an unknown disease in the mid-1980s, and their population decreased to just 18. The US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) caught all of them and tried to protect them. All but seven died.
Currently, there’re between 400 and 500 ferrets remaining. But all of them are related to the seven animals rescued from Wyoming except Elizabeth Ann.
Normally, the DNA of the animals gets mixed up when different pairs of animals have babies. The small differences in their DNA can help protect the group as a whole. Because all living black-footed ferrets are closely related, they all have similar weaknesses. But Elizabeth Ann is cloned from an animal that died in the 1980s, so her DNA is very different. When this DNA is mixed back in, future black-footed ferrets will be healthier in general.
In the 1980s, the DNA from a ferret named Willa was stored in the “Frozen Zoo” run by San Diego Zoo Global. Hopefully, cloning would allow black-footed ferrets to return to the wild. The idea of cloning was understood, but it was hard to carry out for many animals. The matter was left hanging in the air. But in 1996, a scientist cloned a sheep, called “Dolly”. Since then, many other animals have also been cloned. The USFWS has been talking about cloning black-footed ferrets since 2013. In 2018, they finally gave a group called Revive & Restore permission to try it.
On December 10, 2020, Elizabeth Ann was born. Blood tests have proven her to be 100% black-footed ferret.
【1】What was the main cause of black-footed ferrets’ almost dying out by the 1970s?
A．They were short of food.
B．They were killed by farmers.
C．They lost their living places.
D．They suffered from a bad disease.
【2】What does Paragraph 3 focus on about cloning Elizabeth Ann?
A．The effective method.
B．The great significance.
C．The different types.
D．The potential risk.
【3】What does the underlined phrase “hanging in the air” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A．Unexpected.
B．Unconcerned.
C．Unresolved.
D．Unexposed.
【4】What can we say about the birth of Elizabeth Ann?
A．It is the start of the cloning age.
B．It’s an inspiration of Dolly.
C．It’s not accepted by the USFWS.
D．It is a long and hard process.

Does it get any better!?”
The superheroes climbed down from their trucks to celebrate Wolfy's birthday. After they_______the little boy with trash-related gifts, shared cake, and played with toy trucks, Wolfy's garbage collecting heroes drove off to their other appointed rounds.
