21、   A ten-year-old sperm whale(抹香鲸）was found dead on a beach in Scotland.A necropsy(尸检）revealed that nearly 100 kilograms of plastic and other trash had formed clumps(硬块）in its digestive system.The tragedy quickly made headlines.Why would a top predator in the ocean eat gloves,rope,and plastic cups?

Conventional wisdom suggests that marine animals eat plastic because it is there and they don't know any better.It is true that plastic may smell like food to some of them.But that doesn't explain why only certain types of whales-deep-diving toothed whales,such as sperm whales and pilot whales-turn up dead on beaches with stomachs full of plastic.

It's possible,says Savoca,that plastic trash sounds like food to toothed whales.These species

hunt deep in the ocean,sometimes nearly 500 meters below the surface,where it's pitch black(漆黑）。They use echolocation(回声定位）to hunt for food,typically squid(乌贼）。

By contrast,baleen whales(须鲸），including humpbacks and blue whales,have natural filters(过滤器）for their food.Baleen,the brush-like filter-feeding system they have in place of teeth,as well as their narrow throats,keeping them from swallowing anything much larger than the krill(磷虾群）that forms the basis of their diet.That could help explain why baleen whales are not ending up with plastic filled stomachs.

Fifty years ago,there was almost no plastic in the ocean.The lifespan of a large whale can be

twice that long.In the lifetime of a single whale,we went from an ocean with no plastic to hundreds of thousands of tons of it.Plastic comes on top of other factors affecting life in the ocean-climate change,overfishing,shipping traffic,and noise pollution."it's a real shame because their lives are challenging enough even without the additional pressure we put onto them,"says Savoca.

【1】What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?

A.That plastic smells like food to toothed whales.

B.That marine animals started to eat plastic decades ago.

C.That a number of toothed whales are found dead on beaches every year.

D.That conventional wisdom about why marine animals eat plastic doesn't apply to all whales.

【2】Which of the following statements DOESN'T explain why toothed whales are more easily harmed by plastic pollution than baleen whales?

A.They don't feed on krill.

B.They live in the dark depths of the ocean.

C.They are not born with brush-like filter-feeding systems.

D.They don't determine the location of their food with their eyes.

【3】What does the author want to emphasize in the last paragraph?

A.Whales have a longer lifespan than humans.

B.Plastic has a negative effect on climate change.

C.Great changes have taken place in the ocean in the past 50 years.

D.Plastic pollution has worsened already serious issues affecting marine life.

【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

A.Different diets,different fates

B.Silent killers in the ocean

C.Plastic trash in-the ocean

D.Saving whales

22、Humor raises your energy and transports your mind away from your daily troubles. Humor lets you better understand life and sometimes helps you laugh at even the worst of your problems. But not all senses of humor are created equal. 【1】

You don’t have to be the joke teller in the group in order to show your sense of humor.You can be the one who directs the conversation to fun topics that are ripe for others to add humor. Every party needs a straight person. You’ll appear fun and funny by association.

【2】When people see you trying to be funny, it frees them to try it themselves. So even if your own efforts at humor all short, you might be freeing the long kept humor in others. People need permission to be funny in social settings because there’s always a risk that comes with humor. For in-person humor, your attitude and effort count a lot.

Some people believe that humorous complaint about the little problems of life make humor. 【3】The problem comes when you start doing too much complaint-based humor. One funny observation about problem in your life can be funny, but five is just complaining, no matter how smart you think you are. 【4】.

Self deprecating humor is usually the safest type, but here again you don’t want to overshoot the target. One self-deprecating comment is a generous and even confident form of humor. 【5】But if you do it too often, you can transform in the eyes of others from a confident joker to a Chihuahua dog.

A．And sometimes that is the case.

B．Funny complaints can wear people out.

C．Such are the most common humorous people.

D．When it comes to in-person humor, effort counts a lot.

E．Humor definitely plays a significant role in our daily life.

F．So it would be useful to include some humor tips for everyday life.

G．You have to be at least a bit self-assured to laugh at yourself in front of others.

23、Scientists say a huge percentage of bird species are in danger because their habitats, or homelands, are disappearing.

Traditional migration paths take birds through countries that are not protecting the places for birds to stop, rest and feed. The scientists studied the migration or flight paths of almost 1,500 species. They decided that 91 percent of them passed through dangerous areas.

The major danger for migratory birds is development. Buildings and pavements have covered the places where birds stop and feed as they move from one part of the world to another. One of the scientists who worked on the study says “Many of these important places have been lost to land reclamation (开垦) because of urban, industrial and agricultural land expansion”.

The problem, according to scientists, is that many of these small birds die along their migration paths because they don’t have a safe place to feed and rest. There is no place to restore their energy for the next part of their journey. Countries in North Africa, Central Asia and those along the coasts of East Asia are having the most difficult time in protecting land. The scientists say these countries do not have enough areas that are safe for birds. One species that doesn’t exist now is the Eskimo curlew. “Our world gets poorer every time we lose a species,” one of the scientists says.

The researchers say countries need to work together and come up with safe stopping areas for birds that pass through their boundaries. For example, one country might have preserved safe zones for migrating birds. But a neighbor country might not. A bird might die.

One scientist who is not connected with the report tells Los Angeles Times that while some habitats are changing, more work can be done to make urban areas safe for birds.

He says small changes, like planting more native plants or keeping cats out of the areas birds would be likely to use, could make a big difference.

【1】What mainly caused the disappearing of birds’ habitats ?

A．The decrease of awareness to protect birds.

B．Natural disasters.

C．Overuse of land by human beings.

D．The rising sea level.

【2】What may be the main reason for many birds’ death on the way of migration?

A．Exhaustion and hunger.

B．Beast attack on the ground.

C．Hunting of humans.

D．The long journey.

【3】According to the last two paragraphs, how should we protect the migrating birds?

A．By keeping fewer cats or dogs.

B．By restoring their destroyed habitats.

C．By helping change the birds’ migration paths.

D．By preserving the ecological environments on their migration paths.

【4】What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?

A．To tell us a huge percentage of bird species are in danger.

B．To analyze the reasons for disappearing of birds’ habitats.

C．To offer some solutions to the problem of birds’ habitats.

D．To call on people to protect the birds’ habitats.

24、Once upon a time there was a wise man that used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work.

One day he was walking along the shore. As he looked down the beach, he saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought that someone would dance on the beach.So he began to walk faster to catch up.

As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasn’t dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something and very gently throwing it into the ocean.

As he got closer, he called out,“Good morning! What are you doing?” The young man paused,looked up and replied,“Throwing starfish into the ocean.”

“I guess I should have asked, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?”

“The sun is up and the tide is going out. And if I don’t throw them in, they’ll die.”

“But, young man, don’t you realise that there are miles and miles of beach and starfish all along it. You can’t possibly make a difference!”

The young man listened politely. Then he bent down,picked another starfish,and threw it into the sea, past the breaking waves and said, “It made a difference for that one.”

There is something very special in each and every one of us. We have all been gifted with the ability to make a difference. And if we can know that gift, we will gain through the strength of our visions the power to shape the future.

We must each find our starfish. And if we throw our starfish wisely and well, the world will be better.

B．the wise man thought it was foolish of the young man to throw starfish in the ocean

C．the young man had the ability to make a difference

D．it is necessary for us to save starfish on the beach
