21、Darrell Blatchley, a marine biologist and environmentalist based in the Philippine city of Davao, received a call from the Philippines, Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (渔业与水产资源局) early Friday morning reporting a death of a young whale.

When the necropsy (尸检) was performed, Blatchley told NPR, he was not prepared for the amount of plastic they found in the whale’s stomach. “It was full of plastic nothing but nonstop plastic.” he said “It was filled to the point that its stomach was as hard as a baseball.” That means that this animal has been suffering not for days or weeks but for months or even a year or more,” Blatchley added.

Blatchley is the founder and owner of the D’Bone Collector Museum, a natural history museum in Davao. In the coming days, the museum will display all the items found in the whale’s system. Blatchley and his team work with the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources and other organizations to assist in rescue and recovery of marine animals.

“Within the last 10 years, we have recovered 61 whales and dolphins just within the Davao Gulf,” he said. “Of them, 57 have died due to man whether they took plastic or fishing nets or other waste, or gotten caught in pollution — and four were pregnant.”

Blatchley said he hoped that the latest incident would launch the issue of plastic pollution in the Philippines and across the globe. “If we keep going this way, it will be more uncommon to see an animal die of natural causes than it is to see an animal die of plastic,” he said.

【1】What can be inferred from the second paragraph?

A．The whale was starved to death.

B．The dead whale must have swallowed a baseball.

C．Blatchley was very shocked at what he found.

D．Blatchley didn’t make preparations for the necropsy.

【2】What will be shown in the D’Bone Collector Museum?

A．Waste collected from the ocean.

B．Things found in the whale’s body.

C．The whole system of the whale.

D．Many different tools of whaling.

【3】What does Blatchley think of plastic pollution in the Philippines?

A．Worrying.

B．Indifferent.

C．Inspiring.

D．Mild.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．A Whale Found Dead of Plastic

B．Stand Up for Protecting Whales

C．Plastic Threatening Our Existence

D．Natural Death or Merciless Murder

22、Summer is coming, and soon beaches will be full of the sounds of people having fun. If you can find a quieter spot of ocean and stick your ears under the water, you might hear many other sounds made by fish.

Unlike birds, which make sounds in the same way, Audrey Looby, a fish-sound researcher at the University of Florida, says that fish make sounds in different ways. Fish do not have specialised vocal cords or voice boxes. So, one of the most common ways they make sounds is through tribulation — like clicking their teeth or rubbing their pectoral fins against other structures. Many others make sounds with their swim bladders, which they use primarily to stay level in the water.

Scientists are unsure how many fish make sounds, but some estimate that it might be as many as 22,000 types, which is two-thirds of about 34,000 known species. And those are just the sounds fish make on purpose — to call to mates, to let other fish know they’re in trouble or to communicate that “this is my area of the reef, listen to how tough I sound so why don’t you just swim away,” Looby says. Fish also make passive sounds, such as chewing noises as they munch on seagrass or algae.

According to Looby, active and passive sounds are important because they convey a lot of information about what’s going on to fish and to researchers. For example, let anyone who’s listening know that there is a food source available.

With climate change making parts of the ocean heat up and become unlivable for fish in other ways, researchers say that fish sounds could help them preserve and restore habitats. For example, there are projects looking into whether piping in the sounds of a healthy reef into one that is dying might encourage fish to come back and populate it. “Learning about fish sounds lets us learn about underwater environments and hopefully manage them at the same time,” Looby said.

【1】What is the second paragraph mainly about?

A．How fish use sounds.

B．Why fish make sounds.

C．What voice boxes are.

D．How fish make sounds.

【2】What happens to a fish because of its swim bladder function?

A．It can find a habitat.

B．It can click their teeth.

C．It can float in the water.

D．It can attract the other fish.

【3】Why might fish make sounds?

A．To find food sources.

B．To warn other animals.

C．To sound like a boat whistle.

D．To reduce the effects of environment.

【4】Why do scientists want to play healthy reef sounds in a dying reef?

A．To get fish to return to it.

B．To get scientists to find it.

C．To show that it is not safe.

D．To show how deep underwater it is.

23、   You may be surprised to learn that English gets 30 to 45 percent of its words from French. The reason goes back to the year 1066, when Norman forces invaded（入侵）what is now Britain. The Normans were from northern France and spoke French. During the Norman occupation, French became the language of England’s rulers and wealthy class. This lasted for more than 300 years. Other people in England continued to speak English during this period.

Over time, the two languages combined and shared words. Some researchers believe that about 10,000 French words eventually entered the English language. However, although English took many French words, their meanings have not always stayed the same. Sometimes the differences in meanings can be very important, and lead to funny or strange situations if the words are used in the wrong way.

Take, for example, the French word college. In English, college can often be used in place of the word university, or sometimes as a school within a university. However, in French, college actually means “middle school”, or the level of schooling for students in grades five or six through eight.

There are many other similar words in the two languages with completely different meanings. In English, the word chat is a verb which means “to talk casually”; but in French, the word chat is the word for an animal: a cat.

If an English speaker says someone is jolly, that means they are cheerful or friendly. But in French, jolie means someone is good-looking or pleasant to look at. In any case, both are nice things to say to someone.

【1】What does the author stress about the French words in English?

A．Their spelling forms.

B．Their changes in history.

C．Their puzzles for English.

D．Their different meanings.

【2】What does a Frenchman mean if he says he likes a chat?

A．He likes a kind of pet.

B．He wants to have a talk.

C．He hates to speak English.

D．He prefers to chat in French.

【3】What is the French word “jolie” used to do?

A．Replace “jolly” in English.

B．Describe people's looks.

C．Refer to people’s happiness.

D．Prove the change in French.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A．Comparison between two languages.

B．Difficulty in grasping English.

C．French words in English.

D．Development of English.

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。

Lon was chasing his runaway horse when a goose went under his feet. And he fell into a thornbush (荆棘丛). “Why do I have such bad luck?”

Things never seemed to go Lon’s way. If there was a bee about, he was stung.

And if his horse ran away, it would run straight through a thornbush. Still, even bad luck might turn good if he could catch that goose for dinner.

He scanned the bushes, and found a nest with an egg. Just an egg, but even one egg might make a small meal.

He picked it up, but dropped it in surprise. The egg was unusually heavy, and it gleamed (发光) in the sunlight. It was made of gold!

Lon sighed. He’d nearly stepped on a goose that lays golden eggs. If he had captured the goose, he would have had golden egg after golden egg.

Then a thought exploded in his mind.

Perhaps he could take the egg and get it to hatch, and the new goose would lay golden eggs just as its mother did.

Lon smiled. His luck seemed to be changing.

Once home, Lon placed the egg into a bed of cotton next to the hearth. He turned it every hour for several days.

One morning, he heard a faint chk-chk-chk. A small golden beak poked its way through the shell.

It was an ugly little thing, but Lon didn’t care. All that mattered was the golden eggs it would soon lay.

The gosling demanded food. Lon happily kept its beak filled. He named the bird Goly and became fond of it, even though it was soon better fed than he was. Lon talked to his goose and taught it to play checkers (国际跳棋).

Time passed as Lon waited for the first golden egg. Goldy had grown quite fat, but there were no eggs. Lon finally took the goose to a farmer to see what the problem was.

The farmer took a closer look and laughed. “You’ll never get eggs from this goose. It’s a boy goose!

I might as well roast you for dinner,” Lon said. “At least then I’ll get a meal for all my work!”

注意:

1. 所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右；

2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。

Alarmed，Goldy popped out of Lon’s arm and escaped into the forest.
