21、It is believed that some of animals think a great deal. Many of them are like children in their sports. Some birds are very lively in their sports; and the same is true with some insects. The ants, hardworking as they are, have their times for play. They run races; they wrestle; and sometimes they have mock fights together. Very busy must be their thoughts while engaged in these sports.

Animals think much while building their houses. The bird searches for what it can use in building its nest, and in doing this it thinks. The beavers think as they build their dams and their houses. They think in getting their materials, and also in arranging them, and in plastering them together with mud. Some spiders build houses which could scarcely have been made except by some thinking creature.

As animals think, they learn. Some learn more than others. The parrot learns to talk, though in some other respects it is quite stupid. The mocking bird learns to imitate a great many different sounds. The shepherd dog does not know as much about most things as some other dogs, and yet he understands very well how to take care of sheep.

Though animals think and learn, they do not make any real improvement in their ways of doing things, as men do. Each kind of bird has its own way of building a nest, and it is always the same way. They have no new fashions, and learn none from each other.

It is plain that, while animals learn about things by their senses as we do, they do not think nearly as much about what they learn, and this is the reason why they do not improve more rapidly. Even the wisest of them, as the elephant and the dog, do not think very much about what they see and hear. Nor is this all. There are some things that we understand, but about which animals know nothing. They have no knowledge of anything that happens outside of their own observation. Their minds are so much unlike ours that they do not know the difference between right and wrong.

【1】Why does the author mention that some birds and insects are very lively in their sports?

A. To illustrate that some animals probably think in the sports.

B. To tell us that some birds and insects are more lively than others.

C. To show us that ants are the cleverest insects in the animal kingdom.

D. To attract readers by introducing some interesting facts about animals.

【2】“Animals think much while building their houses” because ________.

A. they have to communicate with each other in getting their material

B. they have to calculate something to arrange all the material

C. no animals have a must to build a “house” except some thinking creatures

D. it is unimaginable to build “houses” without thinking work involved

【3】The underlined word "plain" in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by ______.

A. flat   B. clear

C. vital   D. reasonable

【4】The author will probably agree that ________.

A. animals can’t think as a matter of fact

B. animals can’t really learn to do something

C. animals can think and learn but limitedly

D. each kind of animal has their own language

22、In late May, storms flooded streets in Florida. The floods made cars sink and turned roads into brown rivers. Flash flooding can happen when storm drains get blocked up and, especially during hurricanes, overflow into streets. It’s the leading cause of weather-related deaths.

A team of local middle-school students has a plan to stop this ongoing problem. Alyssa, Bianca and Jose are sixth-graders. The Doral students designed a device to warn city workers when and where there is a danger of flooding. The team is one of five grand-prize winners of the Samsung Solve for Tomorrow Contest. The contest asked for science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) solutions to the biggest challenge facing a school community.

“I’ve been living here my entire life, and all of us have encountered problems with flooding,” says Bianca. “We knew that was the problem we were going to tackle.”

The students’ device uses a laser system called lidar, which stands for “light detection and ranging.” The device, if approved by the city government, could be attached to Doral’s 2,575 storm and manhole drains — one device per drain. If a drain gets blocked with sediment (沉积物), the device could send a warning message to the city’s stormwater management office. Then the stormwater manager could send someone to clean the drain.

Starting in March, the school was closed, so team meetings went virtual. Luckily, says Bianca, “We already had a prototype device, and we just had to adjust it some more ” They also had to pitch their idea virtually to contest judges.

Twenty finalist teams were cut down to the five grand-prize-winning teams. Each of the five teams won $100 000 for technology and supplies for their science classrooms. “We put m a lot of effort and had to trust each other and that each one knew what they were talking about,” says Alyssa.

【1】How does the author start the text?

A．With an image.

B．With some figures.

C．By raising questions.

D．By stating a phenomenon.

【2】What can be known about the Doral students’ team?

A．It is made up of five middle school students.

B．Its aim is to solve the problem of the drain flooding,

C．It has won first prize in the Samsung Solve for Tomorrow Contest.

D．Its members are trained in science, technology, engineering and math.

【3】What is the author’s intention of quoting Bianca’s words in Para. 3?

A．To list their challenges.

B．To explore their motivation.

C．To express their determination.

D．To prove their responsibility.

【4】What is the main function of the students’ device?

A．To inform the authorities when a drain is blocked.

B．To arrange for someone to clean the drain.

C．To prevent the drain from being blocked.

D．To help clear away sediment in the drain.

24、For environmental reasons, Britain will ban all new petro-and diesel-powered vehicles from its roads beginning in 23 years, a government report says.

The plan, expected Wednesday, aims to start removing petrol and diesel engines in 2040. It follows a similar official statement in France and comes after the British government was ordered by the High Court to develop new plans to reduce NO2 in the air. Judges ruled that previous clean-air plans were not enough to meet European Union pollution limits in the coming years.

Britain’s government has said the poor air quality has an unnecessary and avoidable negative effect on citizens’ health, and costs up to $ 3.5 billion in annual lost productivity.

Part of the new plan involves an offer of $ 260 million to local governments to change rules where vehicle emissions(排放) are over EU standards. Ideas so far include changing road layouts, reprogramming traffic lights and charging a fee for the oldest and most polluting cars on the road.

The plan also includes $1.3 billion for government purchase of extreme-low-emission vehicles, nearly $ 130 million to improve infrastructure for electric vehicle charging stations and $ 378 million for remodeling existing vehicles.

Climate change is also a reason for the plan to get these vehicles off the road. “We can’t carry on with petrol and diesel cars,” Environment Secretary Michael Gove said. “It’s important we all prepare for a significant change which deals not just with the problems of health caused by emissions, but the broader problems caused in terms of accelerating climate change.”

Gove added that local communities are partly responsible for coming up with ways to limit emissions, including possible limitations on commuters(上下班往返者) and the addition of cleaner mass transportation options. Local leaders are called on to draw up “appropriate plans” to deal with climate challenges related to emission, he said.

【1】Why does the British government decide on this ban?

A. To focus on its citizens’ health.   B. To respond to the court’s request.

C. To promote solar energy in transport.   D. To follow in France’s footsteps.

【2】Which measure may the British government take to achieve its plan?

A. To follow in France’s footsteps.

B. Removing old and high-emission vehicles.

C. Spending some money on electric vehicles.

D. Changing the way roads are arranged.

【3】What can be inferred from Gove’s words?

A. Convenient public transportation is badly needed.

B. United efforts are required to achieve the plan.

C. Vehicle emissions are the key factor in climate change.

D. Petrol and diesel cars may hold back economic progress.

【4】What is the suitable title for this passage?

A. Practical ways to reduce vehicle emissions

B. The EU forces Britain to improve the poor air quality

C. Britain plans to take petrol and diesel engines off roads

D. Relationship between vehicle emissions and climate change

25、After my husband Paul was diagnosed with lung cancer, he said, “It’s going to be OK.” And I remember answering back, “Yes. We just don’t know what OK means yet.”

Paul and I met as medical students at Yale. I fell in love with him as I watched the ________he took with his patients. He later told me he fell in love with me when he saw me ________ over an EKG(心电图) of a heart that had ________ beating. We didn’t know it yet, but we were learning how to ________ suffering together.

I lived with Paul’s illness for 22 months. I’ve always thought of myself as a caregiver, and attending to Paul ________ what that meant. As physicians, we were in a good ________ to understand and even ________ the diagnosis. We weren’t angry about it, luckily, ________ we’d seen so many patients in ________ situations, and we knew that ________ is a part of life. But it's one thing to know that; it was a very ________ experience to actually live with the sadness and ________ of a serious illness.

As a poem says, “Your absence has gone through me like thread through a needle. Everything I do is sewn with its color.” For me that poem ________ my love for Paul, and a new strength that came from loving and losing him. When Paul said, “It’s going to be OK,” that didn’t mean that we could ________ his illness. ________, we learned to accept both joy and sadness at the same time because we are all born and we all die. ________ ourselves in the full range of experience—living and dying, love and ________—is what we get to do. When we approach suffering together and choose not to ________ it, our lives don’t shrink; they ________. Our job isn’t to fight fate, but to help each other ________.
