21、 As PhD research goes, Brian Wisenden was enviable, watching baby fish swimming swiftly through the clear waters in the Costa Rican tropical dry forest. By recording their growth and numbers, he hoped to look at their risks of being eaten. Instead, he witnessed something odd. Many groups were increasing in numbers. In these groups, some were smaller than others, suggesting they weren’t siblings (兄弟姐妹). Wisenden had accidentally discovered that the fish, called convict cichlids, adopt each other’s babies. Why would they do that, he wondered?
In the human world, we think of adoption as a selfless act. But in nature, its presence is puzzling. Taking on the burden of bringing up babies with no genetic link would seem to reduce an animal’s chances of survival or at least provide no gain. Yet, adoption is surprisingly common in the world.
Take the eastern grey kangaroo. Between 2008 and 2013, Wisenden followed the fates of 326 baby kangaroos in the National Park in Victoria and recorded 11 cases of pouch swapping. The circumstances behind some of these adoptions aren’t known, but four were straight swaps and another four occurred after a mother had lost her own baby.
How come? Before independence, baby kangaroos go through a period inside and outside their mother’s pouch. Following out-of-pouch forays, mothers normally sniff their young before allowing them back in, but Wisenden’s team suspect that during an emergency they may skip the sniff test, allowing a vulnerable baby to quickly climb in before fleeing from danger. Once inside the wrong pouch, the young may fake the mother’s odor, making them smell confusingly like her own progeny. So, poor baby recognition is the prime cause of “accidental” adoption.
Some of nature’s adoptions are, actually, driven by young looking for better prospects. In burrower bugs, for example, females lay a nest of eggs close to those of unrelated bugs. Mother bugs tend their developing eggs before they hatch, then feed their babies nuts from weedy mint plants. Finding nuts is a competitive business, so not every mother bug gets her fair share. And if the delivery rate isn’t up to scratch, clever young may abandon their mothers to join a better-fed group. That’s similar to behavior in several species of gull whose babies, if poorly fed, may leave home in search of better parents.
The consequences of adoption following mistaken identity can be dire. The true babies of adopting mothers were abandoned. But it can have remarkable benefits, not just for adoptees but also for adoptive parents.
【1】It can be inferred from the passage that Wisenden’s findings are .
A.too weird to be witnessed B.out of his own expectations
C.envied by his peer co-researchers D.a sound proof of his research object
【2】Which is NOT the reason for adoption in the animal kingdom?
A.Baby animals’ looking for better parenting.
B.Parents’ failure to recognize their own babies.
C.Selfless adoption commonly seen in animal world.
D.Parents, inability to provide enough food.
【3】The underlined word “vulnerable” in the fourth paragraph means .
A.weak and easily attacked B.naughty and easily hurt
C.independent and well-fed D.fragile and poorly raised
【4】What will the author most probably talk about next?
A.The benefits for baby animals. B.The benefits for adopters.
C.The consequences of adoption. D.The consequences of wrong identity.

23、 My kids sit in Gee’s living room and respectfully lift antique Christmas ornaments (装饰品) out of a cardboard box. They giggle at Ann, who is a foreign character to them. Gee stands beside them, quietly explaining each treasure. She tells me that she and Tom built their ornament collection piece by piece. She smiles as we leave with the box.
We first met Tom and Gee in the early days of our marriage. Someone had been returning our garbage cans to the garage each garbage day, and Jim and I had wondered who. Then one day we spotted him: an elderly man who lived across the street.
I baked cookies and left them outside with a thank-you note. When we got home that day, a typed letter had replaced the gift. The letter was from Tom and explained back when he’d been fighting a war, neighbors had taken the time to handle the garbage cans for his young wife, Gee, and he never forgot. Now he paid it forward by doing the same for all of us.
A few years after we’d moved in, Tom died. We photocopied that letter and attached it to one of our own for Gee. We told her how special Tom had been to us. She wrote back and told us she still talked to Tom every day.
These days, we’re piling up boxes of our own. We’re planning a move. We know it’s time to go, and yet we can’t seem to stick the For Sale sign up on the lawn. It’s not just Gee. It’s the man who lets our kids pick peaches off the tree in his front yard. It’s the ladies who leave overflowing baskets for our kids on Easter.
Jim and I agree to wait until January. This Christmas, we’ll decorate our tree with Gee’s ornaments, out of the box labeled in Tom’s handwriting. Maybe I’ll talk to him just as Gee still does. Thank you, I’ll say. For teaching us what it means to be a neighbor.

B. The kids were fond of these antique Christmas ornaments.
C. The kids were afraid of these antique Christmas ornaments.
D. The kids had no interest in these antique Christmas ornaments.

24、 Robotic surgery is one thing, but sending a robot inside the body to carry out an operation quite another, which has long been a goal of some researchers to produce tiny robotic devices being capable of traveling through the body to deliver drugs or to make repairs without the need for a single cut, the possibility of which has just got a bit closer.
However, unlike the plot of one film—which featured a microscopic crew and submarine traveling through a scientist’s bloodstream — this device could not be inserted into blood vessels（管）because it is too big. While other types of miniature swallowable robots have been developed in the past, their role has mostly been limited to capturing images inside the body. In a presentation this week to the International Conference, Daniela Rus and Shuhei Miyashita of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology described a robot they have developed that can be swallowed and used to collect dangerous objects accidentally taken in.
To test their latest version, Dr Rus and Dr Miyashita designed a robot as a battery hunter, which might seem to be an odd task, but more than 3,500 people in America alone, most of them children, swallow the tiny button cells used in small electronic devices by accident every year. To start with, the researchers created an artificial esophagus（食道）and stomach made out of silicone(硅胶). It was closely modeled on that found in a pig and filled with medical liquid; the robot itself is made from several layers of different materials, including pig intestine（肠）, and contains a little magnet. This is folded up and encased in a 10mm×27mm capsule of ice. Once this reaches the stomach the ice melts and the robot unfolds which is moved and guided with the use of a magnetic field outside the body. In their tests, the robot was able to touch a button battery and draw it with its own magnet, and during dragging it along, the robot could then be directed towards the intestines where it would eventually be gotten rid of through the anus(肛门). After it, the researchers sent in another robot loaded with medication to deliver it to the site of the battery burn to speed up healing.
The artificial stomach being transparent on one side, the researchers were able to see the batteries and visually control the robots. If not, that will require help with the help from imaging system, which will be a bit more of a challenge, but Dr Rus and Dr Miyashita are determined to succeed.
【1】According to the passage, the robot operation will probably be able to_________.
A．travel through a scientist’s bloodstream
B．enter the body to deliver drugs or make repairs
C．photograph the body to convey to the doctor
D．operate on a person outside the body completely
【2】We learn from Paragraph 3 that _________.
A．the researchers did the experiment on a chosen animal
B．the actual size of the robot may be larger than the capsule of ice
C．digesting the swallowed batteries is difficult for children
D．the robot took necessary drugs besides a little magnet
【3】What may the experiment mean to the medical world?
A．Fewer children will swallow the button cells.
B．A robot will be invented travelling blood vessels.
C．The surgeries will cost patients much money.
D．Patients will suffer less for some surgeries.
【4】Which can be the most suitable title for the passage?
A．The Fantastic Robotic Voyage
B．The Exploration of Robot Technology
C．Tiny Robot, Significant Role
D．An Experiment on Robot

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 elderly man had collapsed while crossing the street, and an ambulance sent him to the hospital immediately. When the man came to himself now and again, he repeatedly called for his son.
From a worn letter found in his pocket, an emergency room nurse learned that his son was a soldier. The nurse called the Red Cross office in Brooklyn and made a request for the soldier to be rushed to the hospital. Soon, the young man was found and rushed to the airport in time to reach his dying father.
It was mid-evening when the young man walked into the hospital. A nurse led the anxious man to the bed of the elderly man. “Your son is here,” she whispered to the elderly patient. The old patient's eyes opened only after she repeated the words several times. The old man was too weak so it was really hard for him to stay awake and he could vaguely see the young man standing beside him.
The old man reached out his hand with all his strength and the young man realized it and immediately held it.
The nurse brought a chair for the young man to sit beside the bed. The young man sat holding the old man's hand offering him words of love and hope, all through the night. The dying old man said nothing. The nurse suggested that the young man move away and rest for a while, but he refused. Now and then, she heard him say a few gentle words. The dying man said nothing, only holding his son's hand tightly throughout the night.
As dawn approached, the old man peacefully died. The young man placed his lifeless hand on the bed and informed the nurse. While the nurse did what was necessary, the young man waited. When she finished her task, the nurse began to say words of sympathy the young man needed.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150词左右；
