21、Baby deer, also known as fawns, are born with white spots on their body, especially in the first few weeks of their life when they are incapable of moving. Basically, fawns with spots managed to survive more than fawns without spots. This gene has become dominant, and now, most fawns are born with spots.
Their mother generally hides the young babies in deep bushes, high grasslands, or under plants in the woods. The white spots on their reddish-brown body fur allow them to mix easily with the forest surroundings and don’t make them to stand out, avoiding them from getting discerned easily.
More than the color, the pattern of these spots on the baby deer’s body is also of more importance. This is because the majority of the animal species, particularly those living out in the wild don’t have a great color vision, especially when compared to humans. The pattern of the white spots on the fawns helps them to hide among the tall grass and bushes and prevents them from easily getting spotted from a distance. The sun enter deep into the forest, through the branches and leaves of tall trees, and creates a pattern of darker and lighter zones on the forest ground, much like spots on a fawn.
Moreover, they don’t bear any kind of smell during this phase of their life which further helps them in avoiding detection. Along with this, they have got a strong sense to observe the presence of hunters nearby, after which they can lower their heartbeat. This further helps them to hide and be perfectly still.
Undoubtedly, spots on the fawn’s body are a method of protection to fawns. Once they survive the initial few weeks in this world, they become capable of moving around on their own and hence don’t require the extra layer of safety, the white spots start to fade from their body.
【1】What does the underlined word “discerned” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A．Polluted.
B．Rescued.
C．Detected.
D．Revealed.
【2】Why is the pattern of spots so important?
A．Because it helps the defenseless fawns stay safe.
B．Because it helps wildlife improve their color sense.
C．Because it allows the sunlight to get through forest.
D．Because it prohibits fawns hiding in the bushy grass.
【3】How does the passage mainly develop?
A．By giving different kinds of examples.
B．By describing the changes in space order.
C．By pointing out similarities and differences.
D．By showing facts and explaining reasons.
【4】Which can be a suitable title for the passage?
A．When do Baby Deer Lose White Spots?
B．Why do Baby Deer Have White Spots?
C．How do Mother Deer Find Their Fawns?
D．How do Mother Deer Protect Baby Deer?
22、Today, battery power per kilowatt hour costs around only ten per cent of what it did a decade ago. And the expectation is that the costs will continue to fall, because battery chemistry improves and manufacturing (批量生产) lots of batteries on a massive scale makes the production of individual batteries cheaper.
You can be forgiven for thinking that this might only be of interest to accountants, but the possible effects of this are enormous, and will benefit all of us. First and most obviously, it has made the batteries in electric cars cheaper and longer-lasting. And brilliantly, because electric batteries are improving so dramatically, we can already see the results. Last September, 15 per cent of all-new vehicle registrations were pure electric vehicles. So the change is starting to happen.
Better batteries does not just mean better cars however. They can also help us decarbonise the entire national grid (输电网). Storing energy has always been a problem for the grid. Today, only a tiny amount of generated electricity is stored for later use, which leads to lots of power going to waste. But better batteries make it technologically and economically viable to store large amounts of energy from the grid.
It’s possible that in the not-too-distant future, we might have an enormous battery in the garage. It would take power from the grid (or maybe even solar panels on the roof), and power appliances and lights in our homes at the times when demand for electricity is high. Home batteries are not yet as established as electric cars » but-they are also growing in popularity.
So, given how much technology has improved batteries over the last decade, I can’t help but be strangely optimistic about the future. Batteries may not be as flashy (华丽的) as phones, rockets or other new technologies. But when it comes to technology to fight climate change, they’re definitely leading the charge.
【1】What contributes to the popularity of electric cars?
A．The production of individual batteries.
B．The longer duration and less cost of batteries.
C．Accountants’ interest in cheaper batteries.
D．The increasing vehicle registrations.
【2】What does the underlined word “viable” mean in paragraph 3?
A．Cheaper.
B．Dramatic.
C．Workable.
D．. Exceptional.
【3】What does the author expect of batteries?
A．They will become smaller.
B．They will help make the world greener.
C．They will sell better than phones.
D．They will replace chargers on a lois trip.
【4】Which is the most suitable title for the text?
A．Home Batteries Will Catch On -
B．Batteries Are Getting Better and Better
C．Battery Technology Needs Improving Urgently
D．Petrol-powered Cars Will Be Upgraded
23、 It's 10 o'clock at night, and we've been walking along behind him and his wife, Maria, on the beach in complete darkness for half an hour, hoping that every shadowy form is a green sea turtle that has appeared from the Caribbean to lay her eggs on Tortuguero Beach.
After traveling a long way here to witness the event at the end of the nesting season, we walk behind Castor in dutiful silence, thinking about the impact we could have on a turtle's nesting decision. Although they can't hear well, green sea turtles have a powerful sense of smell. Lights can also disturb them. And if the female feels threatened, she'll likely return to the sea to give up all 100 to 120 of her eggs-a huge sacrifice for an endangered creature.
Earlier that day we read up on threats to the turtles-poisonous waste, plastic bags and fishing hooks among other things. These threats apply, however, only if the baby turtles even make it to the sea in the first place.
"She is there," Castor reports, "making her nest now." A female turtle turns herself around and around in a circle until the top of her shell is nearly even with the sand. Employing her back flippers (鳍肢), she then reaches beneath herself to dig a neat, deep hole for the hundred or more eggs she will lay his evening.
We sit silently on a big piece of driftwood, waiting patiently like family members outside the birthing room. "Come closer!" Castor says, and we bend towards the soft red glow of his flashlight. His right hand holds the massive turtle's left back flipper aside so that the light shines directly into the hole, which is already filled with eggs. Her tail lifts as a soft, slippery egg slides through and goes into the hole, followed by another and another. After laying the eggs, her tail flipper begin to remove sand from the "walls" around her, dragging it over the top of the eggs.
Then Castor signals us to another spot where a nest is hatching (孵化) at the very moment. Dozens of baby turtles desperately move to the surface, trying to drag themselves up out and to the sea. However, a huge driftwood lying in the sand parallel to the sea blocks their passage down the beach. Castor shines his beam toward the water and Maria picks the newborns up and places them on the other side of the wood. If we weren't there at the moment, most of them would have wandered aimlessly toward the jungle and death.
On the way back to the village, I recall my mixed feelings about human impact on the environment, Now I'm home joyous that my presence has helped an entire nest of baby turtles survive the first challenge of their lives.

A．will sacrifice anything to protect their babies
B．are very sensitive to sounds, smells and lights

D．Most of them wander off and die.
24、 Five years ago, Yellow-Purple tore a flexor tendon(屈肌腱), making it difficult to use her left leg. The little penguin was having a hard time walking and swimming.
Yellow-Purple lives with a large group of African penguins at Mystic Aquarium in Mystic, Connecticut. African penguins are an endangered species. They are beautiful, black and white birds that are about two feet tall when fully grown, and they are very popular with the Aquarium’s visitors.
The staff at the Aquarium made a little support boot for Yellow-Purple from plastic. This supported her left ankle and made it much easier for her to do all the things that penguins like to do. Yellow-Purple was getting along fine with her boot, but then Dr. Jen Flower, Chief Clinical Veterinarian at Mystic Aquarium, heard about 3 D printing technology. She decided to use it to help better the boot.
Luckily, Mystic Aquarium’s Vice President of Education &Conservation, Kelly Marls, knew that Mystic Middle School had recently acquired a 3D Systems printer. Kelly reached out to the school and arranged a meeting. Sue Prince, Library Media Specialist at Mystic Middle School, and seven middle school students visited Yellow-Purple to learn what was needed, and then contacted the supplier of their 3 D printer, ACT Group.
With ACT Group’s help, the students learned how to scan Yellow-Purple’s existing foot cast, then use that data to create a more efficient boot with sculpting software. The final boot design was printed on a 3D printer using multiple materials, allowing the boot to be flexible enough for comfortable movement, yet hard enough to support the injured tendon.
The students were thrilled when they saw Yellow-Purple walking almost back to normal. It was a great way to put science into practice. Celebrities like Ashton Kutcher shared Yellow-Purple’s story on Facebook, inspiring more than 1.5 million combined views.
【1】What can we learn about African penguins?
A.They are very large in number. B.They are dangerous species.
C.They are beautiful when young. D.They are attractive to visitors.
【2】Who came up with the idea of an updated support boot?
A.The ACT Group. B.Dr. Jen Flower.
C.Kelly Matis. D.Sue Prince
【3】What preparation work was done before the students got the ACT Group’s help?
A.They reached school on time. B.They held a meeting to discuss the problem.
C.They paid a visit to Yellow-Purple. D.They contacted the ACT Group for supplies.
【4】What is the best title for this text?
A.The development of 3D printing B.A penguin benefiting from high-tech
C.An effort to put science into practice D.A software that can design
