21、Forest are amazing and so are the animals that live in them. We enjoy watching TV shows about bears, bats or monkeys. We know a lot about their lives: how they find food or what they do at different times of the year. But what about smaller animals that are more difficult to see or film?
Many small animals that live in forests are very important for the soil. A French scientist, Francois Xavier Joly, is studying one of them — the millipede(千足虫).
The importance of leaves
When the leaves begin to die in fall, they turn from green to yellow and fall from the trees. As they decompose on the ground, nutrients(营养物质) are returned to the soil and carbon dioxide to the air. Life in the forest needs these nutrients. Without them, plants could not grow and there would be no food for animals such as the millipede.
Food on the forest floor
Some living things, like mushrooms, break the leaves into smaller pieces and eat them. In a few months there is nothing left of them. But for mushrooms, not all trees are the same. Mushrooms prefer some types of leaves to others. This means that some leaves take much longer to be broken down than others. Sometimes it takes years. So what happens to these? This is where the millipede can help.
More on the menu
The millipede also likes leaves and it eats any type. But when it has finished, it produces waste. This waste then becomes the food of mushrooms. When mushrooms eat leaves they choose only certain types but when they eat waste, they will eat any kind. This is how the millipede turns dead leaves into food for others and helps life continue.
So next time you are walking through a forest, remember that something may be having a meal right under your feet.
【1】According to the passage, what can we learn about the millipede?
A. It can often be seen on TV shows.
B. It mostly feeds on the nutrients in the soil.
C. It is too small to be noticed by people.
D. It lives under mushrooms in the forest.
【2】What does the underlined word "decompose" in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Break down.
B. Dry up.
C. Dig in.
D. Make out.
【3】What does the author want to tell us by mentioning mushrooms?
A. The millipede eats mushrooms in the forest.
B. The millipede helps to provide food for mushrooms.
C. Mushrooms play an important part in helping millipedes out.
D. Mushrooms decide what types of leaves the millipede will eat.
【4】According to the author, the millipede is ________.
A. poisonous
B. rare
C. unimportant
D. amazing
22、I work at a company that has a large number of employees. I can’t say that I know them all by name, but I know my fair share of them and almost all of them know me. I’d say that’s the reason I’ve been able to reach this far in my career. It’s all based on one simple principle: I believe that every single person should be recognized, however small or simple that greeting is.
When I was about ten years old, I was walking down the street with my mother. She stopped to speak to Mr. Lee while I was busy throwing a rock towards the stop sign. I knew I could see Mr. Lee any time around the neighborhood, so I didn’t pay any attention to him. After we passed Mr. Lee, my mother stopped me and said something that has stuck with me from that day until now. She said, “Promise me this will be your last time to walk by somebody and not open up your mouth to speak, because even a dog can wag its tail when it passes you on the street.” That phrase sounds simple, yet influential enough to shape who I am.
At work, I always used to say hello to the founder of the company and ask him how our business was doing. After a few years of passing by the founder, I had the courage to ask him how far he thought I could go in his company. He said, “If you want to, you can get all the way to this seat.”
Now I’ve become vice president, but that hasn’t changed the way I approach people. I still follow my mother’s advice. I speak to everyone I see, no matter where I am. I’ve learned that speaking to people creates a pathway into their world, and it lets them come into mine, too. The day you speak to someone who has their head down but lifts it up and smiles, you realize how powerful it is just to open your mouth and say, “Hello.”
【1】Why did the author pay no attention to Mr. Lee?
A.He had rude manners.
B.He could meet Mr. Lee regularly.
C.He was shy with adults.
D.He focused on throwing a rock busily.
【2】What did the mother’s words imply?
A.It was necessary to bring a dog.
B.Never speak to strangers on the street.
C.It was worthwhile to befriend Mr. Lee.
D.Never pass anybody without greetings.
【3】What do the underlined words “this seat” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A.An empty seat in the office.
B.An important business deal.
C.The post of vice president on the board.
D.The position of the founder of the company.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.The Power of Hello
B.My Road to Success
C.The Influence from My Mom
D.My Advice on Career
23、Think about a self-improvement goal you have, like earning a promotion at work or losing weight. You may feel that you are being stopped from achieving your goal. Then what may be holding you back is a “fixed mindset”. Here are some ways to develop a growth mindset.
【1】. When you learn to recognize effort in others, you’re changing the thinking way about abilities. Rather than telling your child “You're so smart!” when they do very well in a math test, say “You studied hard for that and deserved a good grade.” 【2】.
Look around you. If you can't recognize your own ability to improve, look to family members or friends for evidence that effort and willpower pay off. 【3】. If you think naturally “She's obviously good with languages,” reframe your thinking. More likely, she studied hard and practiced often.
Compete with yourself. Caring how we rank is human nature, but caring too much does the opposite and fuels a fixed mindset. 【4】. What's important is not how you compare to others but how you compare to yourself. Are you moving forward and making progress in the areas that you care about? If so, that's all that matters.
Learn from failure. When you have a fixed mindset, the voice in your head says, “I didn't make the sale because I'm terrible at it.” 【5】. Could it be that you didn’t prepare enough to answer all the clients, questions? What could you have done differently to change the outcome? If you think about it hard enough, you'll probably come up with lessons to apply to your next sales opportunity.
A.Get expert help
B.Challenge this mindset
C.Praise for effort, not skill
D.We all have our strengths
E.You'll soon have the confidence for the next challenge
F.Acknowledging effort over talent is an important change
G.Maybe a friend set out to learn Spanish and became fluent
24、Ever wondered how many Tyrannosaurus rex (霸王龙) ever walked around the Earth? The answer is 2.5 billion over the two million or so years in which the species existed, according to a calculation published today in Science. The figure has allowed researchers to estimate just how rare it is for animals to fossilize.
Researchers led by Charles Marshall used a method employed by ecologists studying contemporary creatures to estimate the population of T. rex during the late Cretaceous period.
The team used their estimates of the total range of T. rex across modern North America, combined with their estimates of the dinosaur’s weight, to calculate that, at one time, around 20,000 T. rex would have been alive on the planet. That translates to around 3,800 T. rex in an area the size of California, or just 2 T. rex moving around Washington DC. Calculating that T. rex survived for about 127,000 generations before disappearing, the researchers came up with a figure of 2.5 billion individuals over the species’ entire existence. Only 32 adult T. rex have been discovered as fossils, so the fossil record accounts for just 1 in about every 80 million T. rex. This means that the chances of being fossilized were small.
These numbers suggest that fossils in general are rare, and that many species that were less widespread than T. rex were probably never preserved, says Marshall, who adds, “The fossil record is our only direct knowledge of these past histories of our planet.”
Thomas Holtz, a researcher, says that “we always knew that the chance of any individual becoming a fossil was rare, but we lacked the calculation to figure out how rare”.
But he says it would be good “to see someone ground-truth these kinds of estimates against living species to get a better sense of accuracy”. He’d also like to see comparable studies made on disappearing species with more abundant fossils, which might allow us to better understand historic ecosystems.
【1】Which of the following was used to figure out the population of T. rex?
A.The method used by researchers to study fossils.
B.The approach to calculate kinds of wildlife.
C.The way applied by ecologists to study modern creatures.
D.The system to compare various studies on disappearing species.
【2】How does the author develop the third paragraph?
A.By making a comparison.
B.By listing the figures.
C.By giving an explanation.
D.By presenting examples.
【3】What can we infer from paragraph 4?
A.T. rex owns quite a few fossils.
B.The fossils record all the past of our planet.
C.Many species lived together in their whole life.
D.Fossils of some species may never be stored.
【4】Which of the following could be the best title for the text?
A.The Figure of T. rex Helps Calculate How Rare Their Fossils Are
B.Scientists Applied Fossils to Understand Past Ecosystems
C.A New Method to Figure out the Number of T. rex
D.The Fossil Record to Uncover the History of Our Planet

26、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一个完整的短文。
Lesley bought a computer for the whole family to use a year ago, never thinking that it would lead to her sixteen-year-olds on becoming addicted to playing games.
Glen was playing computer games for increasing amounts of time and gradually he hardly left his seat. Lesley tried to restrict his game time, but this only seemed to fuel his addiction further.
Among his games there was one he especially liked. In it he would design his own world as he wanted it to be.
Although desperate, Lesley never gave upon finding a way to help the teen struggling with this gaming addiction. She decided to take Glen on a trip to his grandfather’s, who owned a big farm. Glen was unwilling to leave his game, but he knew it was not a good idea to go against his parents this time. They reached the airport in the late afternoon. Grandparents drove them up to their farm. They were all packed in the car, with adults chatting and laughing, but Glen felt lonely. Looking out of the window, he was attracted by the amazing scenery. The water was blue and sunlight glittered on its clear surface and the meadow flowed like a sea of green. He couldn’t help thinking of the world he would have designed in his computer game.
After settling down, Glen shut himself in his room. Except dinners, he refused to come out of his room and remained there all day. Sometimes, he stood by the window, staring at the peaceful garden his Grandparents made. However, one night, drops of water from the ceiling, dripping on his face, made him wakeup. Seeing the room was dark, he sensed something terrible. He dashed to the window. Shocked at what he saw, he realized a big rainstorm had just ended. He stood with his nose pressed against the glass, spotting his family struggling to clear the mess in the dim light. Thinking of the efforts his grandparents had made in the garden, their own world, Glen knew what he must do and went out of his room immediately.
