22、 In the magnificent range of mountains of northern California, 42 radio telescopes point towards the stars, scanning for signs of life. The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence （SETI） Institute has been listening for a signal here since it was founded in 1984. Jill Tarter, its co — founder, says the programmed aim is not just to communicate with remote civilisations. It is also to remind human beings of its own modest, fragile （脆弱的）place in the universe. Thus, for the first time, SETI is cocking its ear towards Earth to look for a signal that can be sent into space to represent the species.
Felipe Perez Santiago, a Mexican musician and composer, has an idea of what might work.Since songs, like the human voices, are common to all languages and nations, he and Ms. Tarter have designed the “Earthling Project”-a call to people everywhere to upload extracts （精华）of song that he plans to melt into a collective human chorus. An initial composition will be launched into space this summer, recorded on a virtually indestructible disk. Future plans and dreams include an eventual landing on Mars.
Human music has been sent to the heavens in 1977. Distant beings can in theory already enjoy Peruvian panpipes, a Navajo chant, Bach, Beethoven and more. But no previous offering, and perhaps no composition undertaken anywhere, has tried to encompass the entire diversity of human song.
Mr. Santiago says he is thrilled about bringing together contributors from around the globe. Unlike other recordings sent into space, says Mr. Santiago, “Everyone's invited. You don't have to be one of the main composers of our history like Beethoven, just someone singing in their shower.” Download the “Earthling Project" app, sing up to three songs of 30 seconds each, and your voice will be sent into the sky.
【1】Why does SETI look for a signal to be sent into space?
A．To stand for species on the earth.
B．To scan for other liveable planets.
C．To respond to the call of the universe.
D．To stress the importance of the earth.
【2】What can we infer about the "Earthling Project”?
A．It is a world music organization.
B．It intends to create a human chorus.
C．It tries to develop a universal language.
D．It aims to search for signals from space.
【3】What does the underlined word “encompass" in Paragraph 3 mean?
A．Include.
B．Appreciate.
C．Work out.
D．Relate to.
【4】What is the purpose of the last paragraph?
A．To inspire people to become composers.
B．To call on people to protect our planet.
C．To encourage people to explore space.
D．To invite people to join a programme.
23、Baths in Japan
In many western countries people do not bathe (沐浴) every day. Sometimes they bathe only once a week. Sometimes they bathe two or three times a week. They do not bathe often because the weather is cold or because hot water is expensive. They use electricity or wood to boil the water. Electricity and wood cost a lot of money. In cold countries people usually do not feel they are dirty if they do not have a bath.
In Japan people bathe very often. Most people have a bath every day. When the weather is hot they sometimes have two or three baths a day. They bathe in very hot water. Usually the water is almost boiling. They believe that these very hot baths also stop them from falling ill.
Each house has its own bathroom but there are also big bathhouses for everybody. They are found everywhere in Japan. In the bathhouse there is one part for men and one part for women. The bath is usually three meters wide, three meters long and about one meter deep: halfway down there is a narrow (狭窄的) seat that goes all the way around the bath. Many people use the bath but it is not dirty. Before a person gets into the big bath, they wash themselves first, and then get into the big bath. The person stays there for a short time. When they get out of the bath, they wash their body with soap and water. After the soap is all washed away, the person gets into the big bath again. Soap is not used in the big bath.
The water in the big bath is changed quite often. The water is also very hot. In some places people hit the water with sticks first. They do this to make the water cooler. Then the men get into the bath very slowly and carefully. When a man gets into a bath, he says. "Excuse me." He does this because most of the hot water comes directly out of the ground. In other places people boil the water with a big fire. In a small bath at home sometimes people light a fire under the bath. When the water is hot, people in the family take a bath one by one.
【1】Which of the following is not true about baths?
A. Taking baths can help people relax themselves.
B. Taking baths can refresh people.
C. Taking baths can keep people clean.
D. Taking baths can make people nervous.
【2】What do people use to boil water in many western countries?
A. Electricity. B. Gas.
C. Coal. D. Straw.
【3】What is the size of a public bath?
A. Three meters long, three meters wide and about three meters deep.
B. Three meters long, one meter wide and about three meters deep.
C. Three meters long, three meters wide and about one meter deep.
D. One meter long, three meters wide and about three meters deep.
24、Linda Brown is a softly-spoken realtor (房地产经纪人) with a passion for helping the homeless. She’s moving mountains by combining her understanding of real estate (房地产) with her kindness-fueled determination to create beautiful permanent homes for disabled homeless people in her community.
In 2020, Mrs. Brown was awarded the Good Neighbor Award. This honor is initiated by The National Association of Realtors in the US. As its website details, working alongside her husband, Dr. David Brown, she has been transforming abandoned mobile homes into villages of tiny homes that offer permanent housing for homeless people who’re disabled.
The wish to help homeless people, and restore their dignity and self-worth, as Mrs. Brown explains, had been a joint mission for some years. As local blogger Aaron Nichols shares, the couple ran a local evening drop-in center for local homeless people called Gardening Tree, for almost a decade. This functioned as a shelter where people experiencing homelessness could grab a bite, shower, do laundry and relax.
But they wanted to do more than that. With local individual organizations’ help, the couple succeeded in raising almost $5 million, which enabled them to transform unused mobile homes and a deserted trailer park into a small village of tiny homes that opened in 2018. They named the shelter “Eden Village”.
As Mrs. Brown revealed in her award acceptance speech about her journey to creating Eden Village, helping homeless people is something personal, “I watched as my homeless friends walked off into the darkness to a hidden, wet and cold camp while we went home to a warm bed. I had to do something.”
Today, Eden Village includes a 4,000-square-foot community center offering cooking and laundry facilities, as well as a medical center and community gardens. Additionally, more sites are being developed thanks to the land donated to the nonprofit founded by the Browns. Eden Village 2 and 3 are at the planning stage. In the next six years, Mrs. Brown hopes to create five similar villages housing up to 200 people experiencing homelessness.
【1】How does the author introduce the couple’s devotion to helping the homeless?
A．By mentioning local realtors’ praise.
B．By referring to related online descriptions.
C．By recording homeless people’s evaluations.
D．By detailing their interaction with the homeless.
【2】What else plays a role in building Eden Village besides the couple’s devotion?
A．Homeless people’s requests.
B．Official favorable policies.
C．The support from the society.
D．The prize from many associations.
【3】Why is Mrs. Brown’s award acceptance speech mentioned in paragraph 5?
A．To express her sympathy for her friends.
B．To highlight the influence of the village.
C．To show her sincere gratitude for the award.
D．To give her reason for setting up the village.
【4】What can we learn about the couple’s project?
A．It is still a concept.
B．It keeps expanding.
C．It is carried out globally.
D．It lacks future plans.
25、Two new studies add further pieces to the jigsaw puzzle that is human evolution. One reports a (n)_________extra member of the genus Homo. The other casts _________ on possible interbreeding between three human species in the Middle East.
Homo longi--- “Dragon man” into English from Chinese, via Latin---is not a (n)_________find, but a reinterpretation of an existing one. The cranium (头盖) in question was dug up in Harbin in1933 and is_________at Hebei GEO University, in Shijiazhuang. It is146,000 years old and was_________ badged as an archaic form of Homo sapiens (智人). But Ni Xijun and Ji Qiang, who work at the university, disagree. As they report in the Innovation, the cranium would indeed have contained a brain similar in size to a modern human’s, but the fossil is too large to be sapiens and has molars and eye sockets which dwarf those of people today. Dr Ni and Dr Ji also realised that it is too long and low to be sapiens. It lacks the_________of a modern human cranium.
This is good news for_________ of the recent- African- origin theory, which holds that most non-African human beings alive today are descendants of a small number of migrants who_________to Asia from the Horn of Africa about60, 000 years ago, meaning that any non- African human fossil from before that date is probably of another species descended from earlier, non- sapiens departures from Africa. The question was, which earlier species did the Harbin fossil represent? By_________it with known archaic humans, including Homo erectus, Homo floresiensis, Homo heidelbergensis and Homo neanderthalensis, Dr Ni and Dr Ji__________ that it was none of them, and must therefore be new to science and so worthy of its own name. There is, however, one other possibility-for there is a now-extinct type of human of which no cranium has yet been __________ . Homo denisova’s existence was established by the extraction of DNA from a finger bone, and traces of that DNA, a remnant of interspecies breeding，still exist in modern humans, notably in China. Since one of the Harbin fossil’s molars perfectly matches the size and root __________ of a molar from the Denisova cave in Russia, after which Homo denisova is named, it may be that Dr Ni and Dr Ji have actually identified the first Denisovan cranium.
The other study, published in Science by Israel Hershkovitz of Tel Aviv University, also speaks to the question of interspecific interbreeding. Even supporters of the recent-African-origin theory recognise that there was, __________, an earlier “ leakage” of Homo sapiens from north-east Africa into the Levant. Dr Hershkovitz and his colleagues have been examining fossils of __________ antiquity—120,000-l40,000 years-- collected from Nesher Ramla, a site in Israel. These, they found, have sapiens-like jaw bones, Neanderthal-like molars and crania similar to those of Homo erectus. This suggests to them that they are the __________ of miscegenation between all three.

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。
People always hold the belief that money talks. As for me, I had the same opinion. But a small thing changed all that I thought.
I was wandering in the street market on a Sunday morning before Christmas. There were so many people and so much noise. People were coming and going, chatting, bargaining and laughing. I walked back and forth and then got to the place where carp (鲤鱼) was sold. The carp-sellers were so busy today because there were much more buyers than sellers.
Many buyers were surrounding an old woman, asking and even shouting. At the edge of the crowd, there was a little boy with a handful of small change and a middle-aged man who looked like a gentleman. The little boy seemed impatient, and he tried to crowd into those people but in vain since he was so young, which made him very worried. But the middle-aged man was taking his time and he looked so relaxed with a cigarette in his fingers. Breathing out a cloud of smoke, he sneered (冷笑) and showed a disgusting look towards the crowd.
The old woman’s business was so good that for a short time her two full baskets of carp turned into empty. One of the baskets had only one carp left. And meanwhile the buyers were also gone except two—the little boy and the middle-aged man.
They handed out some money nearly at the same time, saying the same words, “I’d like to buy the fish!” The scene immediately attracted me and I determined to take some time to find out who would get the only fish.
“How much is the fish?” the middle-aged man asked. “3 dollars per kilogram,” the old woman answered.
“Weight?” the middle-aged asked then. “3 kilograms,” the old woman answered.
“I just have the enough money, I will buy it!” the little boy said with bright eyes.
“I’ll give you ten dollars to buy it!” the middle-aged man began to catch the fish.
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。
Paragraph 1:
“Grandma, our teacher has a strange disease and only carp can cure her,” the little boy begged.

Paragraph 2:
After saying that, the man threw the money to the old woman and again reached his hand out.
