21、 Joshua Plotnik and his colleagues carried out the tests on six 12-45-year-old Asian elephants living in the grounds of a hotel in northern Thailand. The buckets containing the seeds were not clear enough to see through and had a lid with small holes to let the smell out. In experiments, the elephants chose the greater quantity of seeds in each pair, regardless of the quantity of seeds presented. The accuracy of the prediction was better when the difference between each pair increased.
This is thought to be the first time that an animal is able to use its sense of smell to make a simple calculation of whether one of two quantities is more or less than another-the most basic form of math.
Many animal species have shown an ability to tell apart between more and less when presented with different amounts of food. But they have used vision to discriminate. Dogs have been unable to show they can perform the same trick in tests of their abilities to smell.
For an elephant this ability could be very important. Elephants often travel long distances to find better-quality food and water, which can differ according to seasonal availability, changes to their environment, and a risk they could be attacked by humans. The best performers were able to get it right more than 80 per cent of the time.
The scientists suggest that male elephants are better at the task because they need to eat more food, making it more important that their sense of smell is keener. Males also have to sniff out females in heat over long distances in order to reproduce.
They say that while elephants do use vision, particularly in close contexts where they react to each other’s body language, they use it mainly to match their more powerful senses-hearing, smell and touch.
That elephants have a powerful sense of smell is perhaps unsurprising. They have more genes related to smell than any other animal: 2,000 compared to around 800 for a dog.
【1】What special ability do elephants have?
A.Use their trunks to find different smells.
B.Distinguish between more and less food.
C.Smell the differences of food quality.
D.Per form the basic math calculation.
【2】What does the underlined word “discriminate” mean?
A.Choose. B.Indicate.
C.Measure. D.Distinguish.
【3】Why do elephants often travel long distances?
A.To find where the better food is.
B.To find where humans wait to attack them.
C.To find where the environment has changed.
D.To find where they can adapt to the climate.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A.Elephants can do simple math puzzles
B.Elephants can “count” with their trunks
C.Elephants can smell the quality of food
D.Elephants can use vision to communicate
22、 Being stuck behind crowds of slow walkers when you’re in a hurry is one of the most annoying things. But now, Lakeside Shopping Centre in Essex, one of the UK’s largest shopping malls, has introduced its very own fast lane(通道) for shoppers in a hurry, aiming to help impatient shoppers avoid slow walkers and the anger that goes with them.
The Lakeside Shopping Center in Essex has introduced a 720-foot “fast lane” reserved for fast walkers only, just in time for the Christmas rush. The Center’s management team said, “The lane will help the shoppers who know where they want to go quickly and don’t want to get caught in behind unhurried shoppers at the busiest time of the year.”
The fast lane was introduced after a MasterCard survey found that 80 percent of consumers found slow walkers their biggest annoyance while shopping. The research also found that the average walking speed slowed down by 21 percent during the Christmas shopping period, as most shoppers spent more time window shopping during this period.
Gary Mortimer, an expert from the Queensland University of Technology, said he wasn’t surprised by the promotion about the launch of the fast lane, and thought the concept would appeal to shoppers all over the world. “Crowded parking lots and busy shopping centers tend to be two of the biggest complaints of shoppers over the festive season,” he said. “I think the fast lanes are a new approach. However, I suspect it will be a bit like fast lanes on the highway, so it might end up being more trouble than its worth.
The MasterCard survey also identified the four most common types of shoppers. They include“Skaters” who try and make their way through crowds politely, “Dodgers” who move down the paths to avoid slow walkers, “Bulldozers" who push their way through crowds, and “Tutters” who express their frustrations to slow walkers.
【1】The fast lane is intended for the shoppers who____.
A.can’t move quickly because of physical disabilities
B.buy things on their shopping lists quickly
C.take their time to do window shopping
D.want to leave the mall quickly
【2】What is Gary Mortimer’s attitude to the fast lane?
A.Supportive. B.Indifferent.
C.Objective. D.Negative.
【3】Who patiently moves behind a slow crowd?
A.Skaters. B.Dodgers.
C.Bulldozers. D.Tutters.
【4】What is the main idea of this passage?
A.Shopping can be annoying sometimes.
B.How to avoid “slow walkers” when shopping.
C.The problems that shopping centers face during busy holidays.
D.The shopping mall creates the fast lane to avoid“slow walkers”

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。
On a Saturday night, I was just back from rock climbing. That was a very cold night, the moon was high and I was looking forward to getting into my warm bed. My coach, Diana, came up to me as I went through the arches to my dorm. She took me to her home and told me that my mother had been hurt badly in a terrible car crash and taken to the ICU of a nearby hospital.
When I reached the hospital, my grandmother pulled me aside and said whatever I did, I mustn’t cry in front of my mother.
A nurse opened the door that led to a wide hallway with machines all around. My mother’s room was right next to the nurse’s station. As I entered the room, I saw her lying on her side, with her tiny back to me and a pillow between her bandaged legs. She struggled to turn around but couldn’t. I slowly moved to the other side of the bed and said “ hi ” in a calm voice, holding back my urge to cry out.
Her faces were swollen like a soccer ball, her eyes had huge dark bruised rings, and she had tubes down her throat and in her arms.
Gently holding my mother’s cold swollen hands, I tried to keep my calmness. She kept looking at me as she hit the bed with her hand. She was trying to tell me how much pain she was suffering from. I turned my face away from her, trying to hide the tears that were rolling down my face. Eventually I had to leave her for a moment because I couldn’t hold in my sorrow any longer. That was when it struck me that I really might lose my mother.
I accompanied my mother all day long. She was able to whisper a few words, but I didn’t know what to say. I felt like screaming but I knew I mustn’t. I went home and cried myself to sleep.
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。
From that night on, my life changed a lot.
