21、 Every kid has their own obsessions (着迷的事情). Dolls, dinosaurs, remote controls, cell phones—they might have a toy box with a wide range of playthings to keep them entertained, but there’s a firm favorite they always reach for first.
Researchers call this phenomenon “extremely intense interests (Ells)”, and have found that they start to emerge at around 18 months of age and are evident in around a third of preschool-aged children. For lots of children, this obsession revolves around (围绕) cars. And although the sex divide in the toy world remains, it’s not only little boy who are drawn to all things with wheels. So what’s the big deal about cars, trucks, trains, and buses?
From age 0-2, children are the sensorimotor stage of development. They are learning by absorbing everything through their senses—sight, touch, taste, smell, hear. Toys and real-life objects like cars are very sensorily engaging. Kids can interact with toy cars, trucks, etc. through spinning their wheels, watching them move in a variety of direction, or hearing the sounds they make.
Plus, kids are just naturally drawn to loud, moving objects. They see the lights on the cars, the rolling wheels, the sound of the engine. Kids will always be drawn to flashy and loud things because that is what engages their brain and sensory systems. Another appeal of toy vehicles is that they’re typically small enough to fit in a child’s hand. And because they can put their cars in their pocket or carry them around, they’re easy to get attached to.
Every child is unique in how they engage with toys, and the reasons for their play style may be diverse and complex. However children often interact with materials in similar ways to how their families interact with them. If a child sees a sibling or parents modeling play with a car going fast down a track, they are likely going to interact with the toy that same way. Ultimately, how your kids play with their toy vehicles could be a little window into what excites them.
【1】What do we know about the kid’s obsession?
A.Girls may like playthings with wheels as the boys do.
B.Kids keep what they are obsessed with within their reach.
C.Kids’ obsession with cars begin earlier and it lasts long.
D.EIIs promotes the interest of children in all things with wheels.
【2】How does toy cars benefit children’s development?
A.They are flashy and attractive.
B.They are convenient to carry in children’s hands.
C.They are easy for children to get attached to.
D.They exercise children’s brain and sensory system.
【3】What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.Parents should teach the kids how to play with toy vehicles.
B.It is helpful to know the way of kids playing with toy vehicles.
C.Siblings should always play with their younger brothers or sisters.
D.Children are different from each others in choosing the toys vehicles.
【4】What is the purpose of the text?
A.To advertise toy cars.
B.To introduce appealing toys.
C.To explain reasons kids like toy cars.
D.To encourage parents to interact with kids.
22、 A new study shows that air pollution can cause a huge reduction in our intelligence. The study was a project involving researchers at Peking University in China and Yale University in the United States.
The researchers reported that long-term exposure to air pollution can affect a person's mental abilities in two areas: Language and math.
The researchers studied about 25,000 people from across China. Between 2010 and 2014, these Chinese men, women and children were given language and math tests. Then researchers compared the test results with measurements of pollution in the air, namely nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide (二氧化硫).
Xi Chen of the Yale School of Public Health led the study. He and his team found that breathing polluted air can reduce a person's education level by about one year.
Chen said that the effect generally is worse for those over 64 years of age, for men and for those with little or no education.
“The older persons—they are more affected. And we find, quite amazingly, males are more affected than females. And people working outdoors are more affected than people working indoors.
He noted that the youngest people in the study were 10 years old, while the oldest was 90 years old. They came from China's 33 provinces. In his words, the data and facts are convincing and this range of ages and locations across the country provided a real, objective and representative sample.
The researchers noted that the effect of air pollution on verbal ability is even more serious as people age, especially among men and the less educated. The researchers also stressed that every country, whether developed, developing or poor, should focus on air pollution or humans will face a bad situation.
【1】What is the result of the study?
A.Air pollution has a bad effect on people's intelligence.
B.Females are more affected by air pollution than males.
C.Americans are more affected by air pollution than Chinese.
D.People working indoors are actually not affected by air pollution.
【2】What did Chen say about the study?
A.It is doubtful.
B.It is extremely unfair.
C.It is common and not representative.
D.It is relatively objective and persuasive.
【3】What did the researchers emphasize in the last paragraph?
A.The data from the 33 provinces is convincing.
B.The whole world should pay attention to air pollution.
C.The less educated take more responsibility for air pollution.
D.Air pollution's influence on verbal ability is less serious as people age.
【4】Where is the text most likely taken from?
A.A life diary. B.A guidebook.
C.A science magazine. D.A biography.
23、Many black-footed ferrets(雪貂) once lived in the American West. They live mainly on the 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 is the passage mainly about?
A.A new cloning age is coming.
B.An endangered species survived by cloning.
C.The research of ferrets’ DNA was conducted.
D.The truth of the extinction of the ferrets was revealed.

26、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
An A for Mrs.B
I was sitting next to Missy in my ninth grade world history class when Mrs. Bartlett announced a new project. In groups, we were to create a newspaper around the culture we were studying.
On a piece of paper, we wrote the names of three friends we wanted in our group. After collecting all the requests, Mrs. B. informed us that she would take into consideration the names we chose and would let us know the results the next day. I had no doubt I would get the group of my choice. There were only a handful of sociably decent people in the class, and Missy was one of them. I knew we had chosen each other.
The next day, I anxiously awaited the class. Mrs. B started to call out names. When she reached group three, Missy’s name was called. So I’m in group three, I thought. The second, third and fourth members of the group were called. My name was not included. There had to be some mistake!
Then I heard it. The last group: “Mauro, Julette, Rachel, Karina." I could feel the tears well in my eyes. How could I face being in that group-the boy who barely spoke English, the one girl who was always covered by skirts that went down to her ankles, and the other girl who wore weird clothes. Oh, how badly I wanted to be with my friends.
I fought back tears as I walked up to Mrs. B. She looked at me and knew what I was here for. I was determined to convince her I should be in the “good” group.
She gently placed a hand on my shoulder. “I know what you want, Katrina,” she said, “but your group needs you. I need you to help them get a passing grade on this assignment. Only you can help them.”
I was stunned and amazed. She had seen something in me I hadn’t seen. “Will you help them?” I stood straighter. “Yes,” I replied. I couldn’t believe it came out of my mouth, but it did. I had committed.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I bravely walked to where the others in my group sat.
