21、Polar bear mothers invest a huge amount into their cubs (幼兽), isolating themselves in dens (兽穴) dug with great effort into piles of snow to provide care through the unforgiving conditions of Arctic winter. It’s little wonder that the bears are hesitant to leave when disturbed, even when oil drilling equipment is in operation nearby.

“We found that bears wouldn’t abandon their dens even with vehicles driving right overhead,” says Wesley Larson, who worked his way from office assistant to a graduate student position with Utah’s Brigham Young University, monitoring polar bears on Alaska’s North Slope.

Scientists have recorded an increase in human-wildlife conflict in the area, as offshore pack ice has decreased, forcing the bear population to create their dens closer to petrol industry activity. With increased industry interest in oil and gas leasing (租赁) in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, strong evidence to help support and carry out protective measures for the species has never been more important.

Wildlife managers in Alaska depend on a rule that industrial activity and research cannot take place within 1. 6 km of a den with newborn babies in it. Working with 15 years of monitoring records, and 30 years of notes concerning interactions between the industry and the bears, Larson and colleagues were able to confirm that the regulation was sufficient, but that more needed to be done to actively locate dens. He explains that with entrances quickly covered by snow and dens closed-up until spring, they are effectively undetectable to the naked eye.

“While technology such as forward-looking infrared cameras can be used to try to pick up a heat signature inside the den, it only works when conditions are perfect, and they rarely are in Arctic winter,” says Larson. He is now consulting on a project using radar technology to identify dens and ensure protection for the animals symbolic of the Arctic.

【1】Why does the author mention polar bear mothers in paragraph 1?

A．To attract sympathy for the polar bears.

B．To condemn human activities that damage nature.

C．To show the severe environment polar bears live in.

D．To explain polar bears’ unwillingness to leave their dens.

【2】What can be inferred from paragraph 3?

A．Pursuit of economic interest threatens polar bears’ existence.

B．Protective measures were not considered important in the past.

C．Human activities have led to the reduction of offshore pack ice.

D．The development of petrol industry has forced the bears to leave.

【3】What is Larson’s attitude towards the regulation of human activities in Alaska?

A．Approving.

B．Critical.

C．Worried.

D．Hopeful.

【4】What is the main idea of the text?

A．Attention should be paid to protecting polar bears.

B．Technology should be applied to identify polar bears.

C．More efforts are necessary to monitor polar bear dens.

D．It’s very difficult to successfully locate polar bear dens.

22、   An increase in students applying to study economics at university is being attributed to （归因于）the global economic crisis awakening a public thirst for knowledge about how the financial system works.

Applications for degree courses beginning this autumn were up by 15% this January, according to UCAS, the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service. A. spokesman for the Royal Economic Society said applications to do economics at A-level were also up.

Professor john Beath, the president of the society and a leading lecture at St Andrews University, said his first-year lectures---which are open to students from all departments—were drawing crowds of 400, rather than the usual 250.

“There are a large number of students who are not economics majors, who would like to learn something about it. One of the things I have done this year is to relate my teaching to contemporary events in a way that one hasn’t traditionally done. ” he added.

University applications rose 7% last year. But there were rises above average in several subjects. Nursing saw a 15% jump, with people’s renewed interest in careers in the public sector（部门）, which are seen as more secure in economic crisis.

A. recent study showed almost two thirds of parents believed schools should do more to teach pupils about financial matters, and almost half said their children had asked them what was going on, although a minority of parents felt they did not understand it themselves well enough to explain.

Zack Hocking, the head of Child Trust Funds, said: “It’s possible that one good thing to arise from the downturn will be a generation that’s financially wiser and better equipped to manage their money through times of economic uncertainty.”

【1】Professor John Beath’s lectures are __________.

A.given in a traditional way B.connected with the present situation

C.open to both students and their parents D.warmly received by economists

【2】In the opinion of most parents, ___________.

【3】According to Hocking, the global economic crisis might make the youngsters ___________.

A.wiser in money management B.have access to better equipment

C.confident about their future careers D.get jobs in Child Trust Funds

【4】What’s the main idea of the text?

A.Universities have received more applications.

B.Economics is attracting an increasing number of students

C.College students benefit a lot from economic uncertainty

D.Parents are concerned with children’s subject selection.

23、   University of Pennsylvania researchers say that for the first time they have linked social media use to increases in depression and loneliness. The idea that social media is anything but social when it comes to mental health has been talked about for years, but not many studies have managed to actually link the two. To do that, Penn researchers, led by psychologist Melissa Hunt, designed a study that focused on WeChat, Snapchat and Instagram.

The study was conducted with 143 participants, who before they began, completed a mood survey and sent along photos of their battery screens, showing how often they were using their phones to access social media. “we set out to do a study which attempts to imitate real life.” Hunt said.

The study divided the participants into two groups: The first group was allowed to maintain their normal social media habits. The other, the control group, was restricted to 10 minutes per day on social media. The restrictions were put in place for three weeks and then tested for now comes such as fear of missing out, anxiety, depression and loneliness.

The results showed a very clear link between social media use and increased levels of depression and loneliness.” Using less social media then you normally do would lead to significant decreases in both depression and loneliness,” Hunt said.

Social media invites what Hunt calls “downward social comparison.” “When you’re online, it can sometimes seem that everyone else is cooler and having more fun and included in more things and you’re left out,” Hunt said. And that’s just generally discouraging. “Every minute you spend online is a minute you are not doing your work or not meeting a friend for dinner or having a deep conversation with your roommate.” And these real life activities are the ones that you can encourage self-esteem and self-worth, Hunt added.

“People are on their devices, and that’s not going to change,” she said. But as in life, a bit of control goes a long way.

【1】What can we learn from the first paragraph?

A.Social media is a good tool for social activity.

B.Social media can’t increase people’s social activities.

C.Social media is the cause of depression and loneliness.

D.No studies about social media and mental health have been done.

【2】What are the participants required to do?

A.To participate in a mood survey first.

B.To show how often they use their phones.

C.To keep their normal social media habits.

D.To stay in the lab for three weeks.

【3】What can we infer from Hunt’s words in the last two paragraphs?

A.Social comparison makes people work harder.

B.Social media activities can increase self-esteem and self-worth.

C.People will reduce the use of social media.

D.controlling the use of social media will make a difference to people’s life.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A.The tendency of using social media.

B.The importance of the study on social media.

C.The disadvantage of using social media.

D.A study on the relationship between social media and mental health.

24、A walk around the workplace is also a trip back in time. The office is where colleagues meet, work and bond. But it is also a time capsule, a place where the traces of historic patterns of working are visible everywhere. The pandemic has heightened this sense of office as a dig site for corporate archaeologists.

The most obvious object is the landline phone(固定电话), a reminder of the days when mobility meant being able to stand up and keep talking. Long after people have junked them in their personal lives - less than 15% of Americans aged between 25 and 34 had one at home in the second half of 2021- landline phones survive in offices.

There might be good reasons for its persistence: they offer a more secure and stable connection than mobile phones, and no one worries that they are about to run out of battery. In practice, the habit of using them was definitely lost during the pandemic. Now they sit on desk after desk, rows of buttons unpressed, ring tones unheard.

Landline phones were already well on their way out before covid-19 struck. Whiteboard charts have suffered a swifter reverse. These objects signal a particular type of pain- people physically crowded together into a room while a manager sketches a graph with a marker pen and points meaningfully to the top-right-hand corner, giving requirements never to be satisfied. This manager is still making graphs but is now much more likely to use a PowerPoint. The crowd is still being tortured but is now much more likely to be watching on the screen. The office still has whiteboards, but they are left in corners and the charts on them are slowly yellowing.

Real archaeologists need tools and time to do their painstaking work: brushes, shovels and picks. Corporate archaeology is easier: you just need eyes and a memory of how things used to be. But you also need to be quick as more and more work places are revamped for the post-pandemic era. Now its time to take a careful look around the office: you may see something that will soon seem outdated.

【1】Why does the author refer to the office as a time capsule?

A．You can travel back in time in the office.

B．You can dig out what has been buried for years in the office.

C．You can easily find some old-fashioned practices in the office.

D．You can work with archaeologists to study the history in the office.

【2】What can be inferred from Paragraph 3 and 4?

A．Whiteboard charts went useless due to new technologies.

B．More employees prefer online meetings to physical gatherings.

C．Landline phones still exist in offices because they don’t need batteries.

D．Many employees show a negative attitude to some routine work in companies.

【3】What does the underlined word “revamped” in Paragraph 5 mean?

A．Transformed.

B．Abandoned.

C．Discovered.

D．Reserved.

【4】Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?

A．The Impact of Pandemic on Workplace

B．The Archaeology of the Office

C．Why Landline Phones Went Outdated?

D．The History of Old-fashioned Objects
