21、   Long the symbolic face of endangered species in China, the giant panda has made significant progress in recent years. In the 1980s, only about 1,216 pandas were left in the wild, but the most recent calculation counted more than 1,800.

The increased numbers could be due to improved survey methods or true growth from better protection measures. In either case, pandas still face plenty of threats, of which habitat loss is the main one to survival. Human growth in their areas, combined with climate change has led to the loss of livable land. In addition, pandas have been facing dangers from illegal hunting.

Because pandas are now distributed across China in groups, with each group separated from the others due to habitat destruction, the Chinese government is creating a huge national park in southwestern China to protect them. Giant Panda National Park will cover 10,476 square miles (27,132 square kilometers), which is nearly three times the area of Yellowstone National Park. The new park will make an effort to reunite populations that have become separated from one another.

This project “takes the long view,” Bob Tansey, China policy adviser for The Nature Conservancy, tells National Geographic. “Generally, pandas are doing well. But what will they need in the future? Connectivity.”

The park’s connectivity should give isolated(独居的)pandas a better chance to breed. Giant pandas have a very low reproductive rate, with females generally usually giving birth every two years, the WWF reports. The new park eventually should give them room to find mates, thus resulting in more young pandas. After all, habitat will remain patchy until degraded lands are restored and stronger land-use restrictions come into effect that make wildlife corridors(廊道) possible.

The park also aims to promote the local economy, the Associated Press reports. An official involved in the park’s planning tells the state-run China Daily this project would help ease poverty among the 170,000 people living within the park’s proposed territory. The government is offering financial support to encourage people living in the area to relocate, according to National Geographic. Some areas of the park also eventually will allow tourism.

【1】What’s the main idea of the second paragraph?

A.The main challenges pandas still face.

B.The dangers humans bring to the pandas.

C.The reason for the loss of pandas’ habitats.

D.The protection measures taken to pandas.

【2】What can we learn about Giant Panda National Park?

A.It has been used for many years. B.It has reunited different pandas.

C.It is set up by the local government. D.It is larger than Yellowstone National Park.

【3】What does Bob Tansey expect of the project ?

A.It’ll house more isolated pandas.

B.It’ll favor female pandas with babies.

C.It’ll benefit the process of reproducing.

D.It’ll serve as a comfortable habitat for pandas.

【4】Why will tourism get permission in this panda park?

A.Tourism helps gain high profits.

B.Tourism accelerates the speed of allocation.

C.Tourism results in economic boom absolutely.

D.Tourism contributes to lessening the economic pressure.

23、When I was younger, I thought science would make good things for everybody. It was obviously useful; it was good. But then during the war I worked on the atomic bomb. This result of science was obviously very serious—it represented the destruction of people and put our future at risk. I had to ask myself, “Is some evil involved in science?” I thought long and hard about this question, and I will try to answer it in this talk.

The first way in which science is of value is familiar to everyone: scientific knowledge is an enabling power to do either good or bad—but it does not carry instructions on how to apply it. Such power has obvious value—even though the power may be denied by what one does with it.

Another value of science is the intellectual enjoyment it can provide us with. When we look at any question deeply enough, we feel the excitement and mystery coming into us again and again. With more knowledge comes a deeper, more wonderful mystery, inspiring one to look deeper still. Never concerned that the answer may let us down, with pleasure and confidence we turn over each new stone to find unimagined strangeness, just like opening a box of chocolate.

I would now like to turn to a third value that science has. The scientist has a lot of experience with ignorance and doubt and uncertainty, and this experience is of great importance. When a scientist doesn’t know the answer to a problem, he is ignorant. When he has an idea as to what the result is, he is uncertain. And when he is pretty sure of what the result is going to be, he is still in some doubt.

Our freedom to doubt was born out of deep and strong struggle against authority in the early days of science. In order to progress, we must not forget the importance of this struggle; we must recognize our ignorance and leave room for doubt. Permit us to question, to doubt, to not be sure.

【1】What is the purpose of the first paragraph?

A．To criticize a common view.

B．To introduce the topic.

C．To explain a viewpoint.

D．To prove an argument.

【2】As to the value of science, the author ________ .

A．thinks science always does harm to all

B．never doubted the goodness of science

C．interprets it from various perspectives

D．thought deeply but got no answers to it

【3】The values of science mentioned in the passage do NOT include ________ .

A．power to offer help

B．pleasure of deep thinking

C．progress from questioning

D．ignorance of authority

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．The Value of Science

B．The Uncertainty of Science

C．The Power of Science

D．The Destruction of Science

24、It was late, about 10:15 p.m., when Janice Esposito arrived at the Bellport, New York, train station, jumped into her Honda Odyssey and began the 20 minute drive home to her husband and sever-year-old son. She'd just returned from visiting her mother and had traveled the route so many times. She practically drove on autopilot: a left onto Station Road, then a left on Montauk Highway, and then - wham! Out of nowhere on that awful night, a car T-boned Esposito's minivan, forcing her backward some 100 feet onto the railroad tracks. She sat in the minivan, bruised (淤伤的) but mostly just stunned by the impact and by the vehicle's airbags.

As it happens, Pete DiPinto was getting ready for bed. He'd just closed his book and was crawling under the covers when he heard the high-pitched clang of metal on metal and shattering glass coming from not far outside his bedroom window. A volunteer firefighter and retired teacher, DiPinto, 64, never stopped to think. He grabbed a flashlight and, still dressed in his pajamas, ran out of the door. The first car he came upon, 2,000 feet from his front yard, was the one that had hit Esposito. Once DiPinto concluded the driver was , he looked around and spotted Esposito's minivan straddling (横跨) the railroad tracks.

And then he heard an upsetting sound: the bells signaling an oncoming train. "Honey, you're on the railroad tracks," DiPinto shouted to Esposito, "We have to get you off right now!" He yanked on the handle, but the door was smashed in and jammed shut. The heavy diesel (柴油) train, traveling at 65 miles per hour, was hurting toward them. Dipinto ran to the passenger side and threw open the door. He pushed aside the flat airbags, grabbed Esposico's arms, and pulled her toward him across the passenger seat until he could help her out and rapidly walk her to safety behind a signal box a few feet away. Within six seconds, he estimates, the train ploughed into the minivan.

【1】How did Janice Esposito feel when driving home?

A．Careless.

B．Light-hearted.

C．Mindful.

D．Stunned.

D．It broke down on Station Road.

B．Sensitive and creative.

C．Warm-hearted and diligent.

25、It was 2011. Stewart, a vet at an animal shelter, spotted a homeless man siting with his back _________ the building. A small dog sat on the homeless man’s lap. He noticed its scratched-off fur.

Some people __________ whether the homeless should have pets. “I think they deserve a pet.” Stewart said. “They love their pet probably more than the average person because the owner is the pet’s home.” On the other hand, one of those people, Joe, __________, “When I first hit the streets, I was almost to the __________ where I had been given up.
