21、You’re out on a hike, snacking on an apple, a banana, or some nuts. When you’re finished, all that’s left is a core, a peel, or a shell. “It’s natural,” you tell yourself, throwing it into the woods.

After all, food waste is biodegradable (可生物降解的). It’s not like you’re littering by throwing away a plastic bottle. 【1】

Food waste doesn’t break down as fast as you think

Most people know food waste is biodegradable. But fewer people are aware that orange and banana peels can take up to two years to break down in the wild, meaning they’re going to be staying in nature for a lot longer than you might think. And even if they eventually biodegrade, they can lead to a lot of serious problems.

【2】

“ Animals have a super advanced sense of smell compared to us,” says biologist Jeff Marion. All human food can attract animals. This can then cause “attraction behavior”, which refers to human actions that cause animals to overcome their natural wariness(警惕)of people. 【3】

Attraction can mean aggression

When animals are routinely attracted to humans and their food, they often become habituated to human presence. “Once an animal reaches that point, it’s essentially game over,” Marion says. That’s the origin of the phrase: A fed bear is a dead bear. 【4】 Even if a person is injured by a bear, the human usually recovers. The animal, however, is often relocated or killed to prevent further potentially deadly encounters.

【5】 You should properly store and deal with food waste. Don’t attempt to burn or bury it, as food waste is more difficult to burn than you think. Besides, if you see other food waste in nature, pick it up, even if it’s not yours. Because while negative individual impacts can have a harmful effect outdoors, positive individual impacts do just the opposite!

A．Food waste can appeal to animals.

B．Human actions result from attraction behavior.

C．Keeping your food to yourself is the best solution.

D．However, food left outdoors can have unexpected impacts.

E．Here are the measures we should take to prevent food waste.

F．This sort of attraction behavior can quickly become dangerous.

G．Because when it comes to human-animal encounters; animals are often the losers.

22、Do you love to play soccer? If you do, then you’ve probably daydreamed from time to time about scoring the winning goal in a big game. Perhaps you’ve even pictured exactly how it would happen. A bicycle kick (倒钩射门) can help you.

There are probably very few soccer players who haven’t dreamed of scoring a goal on a bicycle kick. It’s a feat even more impressive than a hat trick. You can try to describe a perfect bicycle kick, but somehow words struggle to convey the magic found in this unique combination of grace,beauty,and athletic prowess (超凡技术). In soccer,few moves can compare to the bicycle kick. It doesn’t happen often. So it’s not often that you’re able to witness one.

Given how special bicycle kicks are, it should come as no surprise that there’s some argument about exactly who invented the bicycle kick. Some soccer historians claim Ramon Unzaga invented the bicycle kick in 1914 in Talcahuano, Chile. Others believe the bicycle kick may have been invented as early as 1892 in Callao, Peru, in a game against British sailors. Even legendary   Brazilian striker Leonidas claims to have invented the move in 1932.

Regardless of who invented the bicycle kick, it has been-a special part of soccer for a century now. Only goalkeepers with very exceptional reflexes (反应) might be able to react quickly enough to block a shot from a bicycle kick. Why?Scientists claim it’s because of the physics involved in a bicycle kick. Since the player’s body is high above the ground and angled upward, the kicking leg has a greater distance than normal to travel before hitting the ball. The result: a forceful kick that sends the ball toward the goal more quickly than normal.

If you’re a soccer player, you’ve probably tried a bicycle kick a time or two. It’s not easy. But you’ll be able to see the basics broken down into steps by jumping online to check out how to do a bicycle kick.

【1】Why does the author mention the dream of some soccer players inParagraph 1?

A．To best explain a rule.

B．To introduce a concept.

C．To assess their health status.

D．To analyze their personality.

【2】What can we say the bicycle kick compared to other moves?

A．It’s so rare.

B．It’s flexible.

C．It’s predictable.

D．It’s graceful.

【3】Which can describe stopping the shot for a keeper as the bicycle kick appears?

A．A piece of cake.

B．Controllable.

C．Nearly impossible.

D．Appealing.

【4】What might be discussed about a bicycle kick following the last paragraph?

A．Its charm.

B．Its complexity.

D．Its procedure.

23、You’ve probably heard this dental advice before: brush your teeth twice a day.【1】Here’s what experts have to say.

According to Dr. Mark Burhenne , a dentist based in Sunnyvale, California, the key to teeth protection is managing your biofilm(生物膜)—an outer coating on your teeth containing bacteria. In that biofilm are bacteria that pull certain minerals from saliva(唾液).【2】

When we eat things, especially sugary or acid foods, they will stick to our teeth.【3】The thicker and furry biofilm can no longer remineralize our teeth properly. The movement of the toothbrush is what breaks up the thickened biofilm so that it reforms into its natural thin and slippery state to protect teeth.

【4】 According to Alicia Murria, a dentist based in Washington, your toothpaste is going to help you to feel fresher. It’s also going to help to kill some of the bacteria inside your mouth. But the most important step in keeping your teeth clean is good brushing technique. By brushing each tooth and slightly sweeping the gum line with your brush at a 45-degree angle, you’ll be able to remove plaques(牙斑). If your brushing technique is good, even a toothbrush with water can be enough.

Murria suggests brushing your teeth first thing in the morning, before eating breakfast. If you do happen to eat first, make sure you wait at least 30 minutes before brushing. The acid from the meal softens the enamel(牙釉质).【5】

A．But whose advice should we follow?

B．The biofilm layer will get thicker and thicker.

C．But why and how are we supposed to do it?

D．Choose the right toothpaste that suits you best.

E．Funny enough, toothpaste actually does less work than you think.

F．These minerals are pulled into the teeth to prevent them from going bad.

G．So if you brush too soon you could damage that typically hard, shiny protective layer.

24、No longer in the pink

Corals are comeback creatures. As the world froze and melted and sea levels rose and fell over 30,000 years, Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, which is roughly the size of Italy, died and revived five times. But now, thanks to human activity, corals face the most complex condition they have yet had to deal with.

According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate change, a rise in global temperatures of 1.5oC could cause coral reefs to decline 70-90%. The planet is about 1oC hotter than in the 19th century and its seas are becoming warmer, stormier and more acidic. This is already affecting relations between corals and the single-celled algae (海藻), which give them their color. When waters become unusually warm, algae float away, leaving reefs a ghostly white. This “bleaching” is happening five times as often as it did in the 1970s. Meanwhile the changing chemistry of the oceans makes it harder for corals to form their structures.

If corals go, divers and marine biologists are not the only people who will miss them. Reefs take up only a percent of the sea floor, but support a quarter of the planet’s fish diversity. The fish that reefs shelter are especially valuable to their poorest human neighbors, many of whom depend on them as a source of protein. Roughly an eighth of the world’s population lives within 100km of a reef. Corals also protect 150,000km of shoreline in more than 100 countries and territories from the oceans buffeting, as well as generating billions of dollars in tourism revenue.

Coral systems must adapt if they are to survive. They need protection from local sources of harm. Their eco-systems suffer from waste from farms, building sites and blast fishing. Governments need to impose tighter rules on these industrials, such as tougher local building codes, and to put more effort into enforcing rules against overfishing.

Setting up marine protected areas could also help reefs. Locals who fear for their livelihoods could be given work as rangers with the job of looking after the reserves. Visitors to marine parks can be required to pay a special tax, like what has been done in the Caribbean.

Many reefs that have been damaged could benefit from restoration. Coral’s biodiversity offers hope, because the same coral will grow differently under different conditions. Corals of the western Pacific, for example, can withstand higher temperatures than the same species in the eastern Pacific, which proves a way forward to encourage corals to grow in new spots.

【1】According to the passage, what may happen to corals when waters become warm?

A.Turning white B.Getting pink

C.Being active D.Becoming colorful

【2】According to the passage,corals can _______ the changing in the nature.

A.live with B.escape from

C.die in D.recovery from

【3】According to Paragraph 4, the governments should__________.

A.carry out stricter rules on industries around the coast

B.call on volunteers to look after the marine reserves

C.reduce the number of visitors to the marine parks

D.ban people from fishing in the coral reef areas

【4】What’s the main purpose of the passage?

A.To present the importance of coral reef to the world.

B.To introduce the severe effect on coral reef brought by climate change.

C.To propose governments to take action immediately to save coral reef.

D.To attract more attention to coral reef protection.
