21、As a classic love movie of the twentieth century, Titanic makes one scene a long-lasting cinematic shot: Jack let go of his hand and sank in the icy seawater, leaving the chance of living to his lover Rose, who finally survived on a wooden door debris (残骸).
More than 100 years since the disastrous event and more than two decades after the earliest release of the movie Titanic, there have been many “door theories”. Audiences debate heatedly over whether or not Jack and Rose could have both fit onto the wooden debris and survived. So, was there room for Jack?
In a TV program, hosts Jamie and Adam even did an experiment using an exact replica (复制品) of the wooden piece from the movie, and the two proved that if they had tied Rose’s life jacket to the bottom of the door to strengthen its buoyancy ( 浮 力 ), they would have managed to stay afloat.
However, their conclusion was debunked when director Cameron said that the freezing water and Jack’s high temperature would have made the life jacket solution impossible. He also said that the debate is beyond the point the movie was trying to make, which is focused on the tragic love story of Jack and Rose, not physics.
The largest debris recovered from the real Titanic is now displayed in the Maritime Museum. The museum’s website states that a replica was once built for the movie based on the museum’s Titanic collection which was known as the “door” used in the death scene. Unfortunately, the size of the debris coupled with the weight of Rose on top could work, but not if Jack’s additional weight was added to it.
In a word, science has proven that Jack didn’t die for nothing and did indeed sacrifice himself to save the love of his life.
【1】What’s the purpose of paragraph 1?
A．To lead into the topic.
B．To introduce a movie.
C．To raise a question.
D．To highlight characters.
【2】What is the conclusion of Jamie and Adam based on?
A．The development of the plot.
B．A physics experiment.
C．The theme of the movie.
D．A heated debate.
【3】What does the underlined word “debunked” in paragraph 4 mean?
A．Confirmed.
B．Opposed.
C．Approved.
D．Concerned.
【4】We can infer that the movie’s ending is .
A．unrealistic
B．confusing
C．reasonable
D．surprising
22、 Wildfires were rapidly spreading through northern and southern California as powerful winds swept through the state, burning homes and forcing more than 200,000 people to leave their homes. Thousands of structures were destroyed in the massive fires. Firefighters and volunteers worked around the clock, risking their lives to save others, although thick clouds of wildfire smoke hung in the air.
But it's not just humans in danger’s path. A video of a horse running away from the rescue team to find his family of horses from CBS Los Angeles went viral. The public was touched by the horse's heroic act and shared their thoughts on the Internet.
Volunteers were rescuing several horses from the wildfire when one of the horses jumped away from the group. They were trying to help the horse, but he refused. They probably had no idea what was wrong with the horse, who just started running away from them. The horse raced back into danger to lead his family to safety, despite rescuers' best efforts to stop him. He knew he couldn't leave them behind. As the tension increased, several human strangers jumped in to help the animals — they went back to the burning barn where some of the horses remained.
You can watch the horse run back into the smoke-filled area, reconnect with the horses inside the fence, and quickly accompany them out of the fenced-off area. Though it's not clear from the video, CBS Los Angeles reported that all but one of the horses involved were saved. Disastrous as the California wildfires have been, the video and countless other rescue stories — humans and animals alike — are shining light on all acts of goodness taking place.
【1】What does the author intend to show by telling the wildfires in detail in Para. 1?
A.What caused the big wildfires. B.How serious the wildfires were.
C.What rescuers did in the wildfires. D.How rapidly the wildfires spread.
【2】What does the underlined phrases 'went viral' mean?
A.Turned bad. B.Got attacked.
C.Became interesting. D.Grew popular.
【3】Which words can best describe the horse?
A.Loyal but stubborn. B.Caring and courageous.
C.Responsible and clever. D.Flexible but aggressive.
【4】What message does the author want to convey?
A.Fighting disasters needs joint efforts. B.Animals are always friends of man.
C.All good deeds deserve to be praised. D.Animals show goodness to each other.
23、 Bees are unimaginably territorial (有地盘意识的), fighting to death to defend their home with painful stings (螫刺). But killer bees are particularly fierce. They appeared after African bees were imported to Brazil in the 1950s. By the 1980s, they had spread north to the United States, outgunning native bees along the way. Their massive attacks have killed more than 1,000 people.
Mario Palma, a biochemist at Sao Paulo State University in Rio Claro, Brazil, who studies social behavior in bees, wanted to understand the basis of this aggression. So he and his colleagues swung a black leather ball in front of some killer bees and collected the bees whose stingers got stuck in the ball during the attack. They also collected killer bees that remained in the cell. The analysis suggested that killer bee brains have two proteins that—in the aggressive bees—quickly break into pieces to form a so-called “neuropeptide (神经肽)”, they reported this week in the Journal of Proteome Research.
Palma and his colleagues already knew that bee brains have these two proteins. “We were astonished when we identified some very simple neuropeptides, which were produced in a few seconds,” Palma said. Killer bees that remained in the cell did not make these neuropeptides, he reported. And when his team put these neuropeptides into young, less aggressive bees, they “became aggressive like older individuals”.
Palma added that these neuropeptides also increase the production of energy and alarm chemicals. They could also encourage the nerve cells in killer bees needed to make the stinging attack. “There is a fine biochemical regulation in the killer bee brain,” he said. Researchers have found these neuropeptides in other insects, but few had associated them with “fight” behavior.
【1】What is special about bees?
A. They are particularly fierce. B. They show territorial behavior.
C. They were imported to Brazil. D. They live in harmony with other insects.
【2】Why did Palma and his colleagues perform the experiment?
A. To understand bees’ social behavior.
B. To study why killer bees are aggressive.
C. To prove bees love flying around.
D. To learn how bees communicate with each other.
【3】What finding surprised the researchers during the experiment?
A. There are two proteins in killer bee brains.
B. Young killer bees are fiercer than older ones.
C. The killer bees make an attack immediately.
D. Killer bee brains produce neuropeptide quickly.
【4】What will the author probably talk about following the last paragraph?
A. The form of these neuropeptides in killer bees.
B. The function of these neuropeptides in other insects.
C. The application of these scientific methods in other insects.
D. The production of energy and alarm chemicals in killer bees.
