21、 Anna Heusler and a group of cyclists were riding towards Adelaide on Friday when they spotted a koala sitting in the middle of the road. It wasn’t the first time that Heusler had seen koalas out and about on the roads while riding—but this koala’s reaction amazed her. 'We stopped the bikes to help the koala get off the road, otherwise it would get hit by cars. But the koala walked up to me very quickly. It was obviously very thirsty, ' Heusler told CNN.
'As I was giving it a drink from our water bottles, it climbed up onto my bike. I've never seen a koala move so quickly. They're usually not pet animals, they stay up in the trees and people admire them from afar. '
'None of us have ever seen anything like it. We gave it as much as we could and then made sure it was off the road and back to safety. 'Heusler shared the adorable yet heartbreak-ing images to her blog, showing the koala drinking water from her bottle. 'Australian Koala Bears suffered severe thirst in a heatwave. This koala walked right up to me as I was going down and climbed up onto my bike while I gave it water, ' she captioned the image. The video has since gone viral online, ranking top of millions of views on social media around the world. 'There's nothing but tragedy in Australia. It's burning out of control' Heusler said. 'I hope this incident helps spread awareness. '
Severe fires in the Adelaide Hills have burned 25,000 hectares of land，leaving koalas searching for food and water hard. Adelaide Koala Rescue's Jane Brister is currently caring for 46 koalas that have had their homes destroyed. She said the centre doesn’t normally care for this many koalas at once and the increase was due to the fires. 'A big problem we’ re noticing now is that koalas are coming in starving… there's just no food, ' Ms Brister said. Koalas eat eucalyptus (桉树)leaves—but thousands of trees have been destroyed by fires. Firefighters now across the country are taking time to care for wildlife when they find them before handing them to the correct authorities.
【1】How did the koala surprise Heusler during her trip?
A．It approached her for the water.
B．It arried its baby to beg for her help.

【2】What can we know about koalas from paragraph 2?
A．They usually walk fast.
B．They are highly social animals.

22、Here’s a look at our four favorite state parks in Colorado, and what to do at each one.
Eleven Mile State Park
Eleven Mile State Park is about 40 miles west of Colorado Springs. The highlight here is a huge reservoir(水库) and nearby wetlands that are a huge draw to boaters, fishers, paddlers, and windsurfers. While you can’t go swimming, you can go sailing or kayaking. Even in winter, Eleven Mile is big for fishing. It hosts an annual, statewide ice fishing tournament.
Roxborough State Park
Roxborough State Park is where to go for the natural. unique scenery. The park is home to 300-million-year-old red sandstone formations. They appear from the earth at a shocking 60-degree angle that makes you wonder how they don’t fall down. With dramatic geological masterpieces, it is no surprise that this is one of Colorado’s official National Natural Landmarks.
State Forest State Park
If you want to spot a moose(驼鹿) (safely, from a distance), explore the 71, 000-acre State Forest State Park in the small town of Walden. The State Forest State Park is Colorado’s moose capital, home to more than 600 of the big guys. Moose aren’t the only attraction in this large, adventure-filled park. It’s also home to black bears and elk(麋鹿). It has lakes and lots of trails (about 90 miles of hiking trails, plus more for biking), and to top it all off, there are sand dunes here.
Eldorado Canyon State Park
Eldorado Canyon is a super popular rock-climbing destination just outside of the city of Boulder. This mountainous state park features 1, 000 different technical climbing routes. It’s well known in the climbing community. The routes are accessible to all levels and open during daylight.

23、China became the first country to clone a monkey using non-reproductive cells, reducing the need to breed lab monkeys and paving the way for more accurate, effective and affordable animal tests for new drugs, scientists said on Thursday .
By December, the Institute of Neuroscience of the Chinese Academy of Sciences had created two clone macaques(猕猴) named”Zhong Zhong” and “Hua Hua” by nuclear transferring of somatic cells(体细胞)-any cell in the organism other than reproductive cells.
Tetra, a monkey born in 1999, is the world's first cloned monkey, but it was done by using a simpler method called embryo splitting(胚胎分割); but it could only generate four cloned offspring at a time and cannot be genetically changed to suit the experimental need.
Cloning a monkey using somatic cells has been a world-class challenge because it is a primate(灵长类) that shares its genetic makeup, and therefore all of its complexity, with humans.
For drug and other lab tests, scientists have to purchase monkeys from all over the world, which is costly and bad for the environment, and produces inaccurate results because each monkey might have different genes.
By cloning monkey using somatic cells, we can massively cultivate large numbers of genetically identical offspring in a short amount of time, and we can even change their genes to suit our needs. This can save time, cut down experiment costs, and produce more accurate results, leading to more effective medicine.
Sun Qiang, director of the non-human primate research facility at the institute, said most of the drug trials are currently done on lab mice. However, drugs that work on mice might not work or even have severe side effects on humans because the two species are so different
“Monkeys and humans are both primates, so they are much closely related and testing on monkeys is supposed to be as effective as testing on humans,”he said. This is especially useful in testing drugs for neural(神经的) diseases such as Parkinson’s disease, metabolic syndrome(代谢综合症) and immune system diseases, and tumors, he added.
“This achievement will help China lead the world research in the international science projects related to neural mapping of primate brains, "he said. "However, bio labs from the United States, Japan, and European countries are also very capable, and they will quickly catch up with China after the monkey cloning technology is made public, "Sun added.
“This means we have to innovate continuously and work extra hard this year to stay ahead," he said.
【1】Which of the following is the most important factor in cloning macaques named "Zhong Zhong" and "Hua Hua"?
A. Reproductive cells. B. Somatic cells
C. Neural mapping. D. Genetic makeup
【2】Why is cloning monkeys so difficult?
A. Because it is bad for our environment.
B. Because each monkey might have different genes.
C. Because monkeys' genetic makeup is as complicated as humans.
D. Because it is too expensive to work on their genetic makeup.
【3】What is the main idea of Paragraph 8?
A. The cure for neural diseases.
B. The process of cloning monkeys.
C. The significance of cloning monkeys.
D. The close relations between monkeys and humans.
【4】What can we infer from this passage?
A. More effective medicine will be produced.
B. Drug trials on lab mice will be abandoned.
C. China is the first country to have cloned monkeys.
D. China will stay ahead of the world in cloning.
24、Our planet is losing species at an alarming rate. As the world has become increasingly industrialized, natural habitats have been destroyed to build cities that are unlivable for wildlife. However, a pair of European designers, architect Rene Hougaard and product designer Alexander Qual, believe there are ways to encourage cities to coexist with nature. Inspired by everyday people who build “insect hotels“ in their backyards, they’ve created outdoor furniture that would be beautiful to look at, but also allow bugs, birds and wildflowers to thrive (繁殖).
The natural world tends to appear messy and chaotic to the human eye, but there is often method in the madness. Qual and Hougaard kept this in mind as in all the structures, they played with the concepts of order and messiness.
Qual created a large, yellow, leaf-shaped insect hotel, that’s designed to be placed on a flower bed in a park. The structure contains wooden blocks with holes that are 6, 7 and 8 millimeters in diameter (直径), since different insect species prefer holes of different sizes.
Hougaard created a metal log bench with an empty space in the middle specifically designed to hold a decaying (腐烂的) log that can provide a habitat for insects and plants, along with birds and bats. While humans often shun decay, Hougaard imagines a place where people can sit down and observe the slow process in which bacteria break down the wood, creating food for insects, birds and other animals.
As for the question of whether people actually want to be so close to bugs, snakes and nesting birds, the designers acknowledge that modern humans have been trained to stay away from such creatures. But Hougaard says these structures keep animals contained, while allowing people to observe and appreciate them safely. And eventually, if we want to maintain biodiversity, humans need to become much more comfortable living alongside wildlife, rather than feeling the need to destroy it. After all, we humans need nature to survive.
【1】Why did Hougaard and Qual build insect hotels?
A．To inspire more people to build one.
B．To bring biodiversity back to cities.
C．To provide a way to manage the city.
D．To slow down the process of industrialization.
【2】What did Hougaard and Qual mainly consider in designing their structures?
A．The size of species.
B．The variety of colors.
C．The building materials.
D．The combination of order and disorder.
【3】Which of the following can replace the underlined word “shun” in Para.4?
A．Avoided.
B．Crealed.
C．Observed.
D．Provided.
【4】What can be concluded from the last paragraph?
A．Bugs and snakes annoy people a lot.
B．Modern people have destroyed some creatures.
C．People should protect wildlife for our own good.
D．Hougaard’s structures enable people to touch the animals.
