21、   A population of the world's most aggressive mosquito species was almost completely wiped out by an experiment on two islands in the southern Chinese province of Guangdong, according to a study published.

The experiment successfully reduced the female Asian Tiger Mosquito population — the main source of bites and disease spread — by up to 94%, reducing the number of reported human bites by 97%.

One of the Chinese study's researchers, Xi Zhiyong, a professor at Michigan State University, has been a longtime pioneer in this field of study. Running a mosquito factory in southern China, he previously attempted to use sterilized male mosquitoes to mate with unaltered females which developed normally. In the new study, published by the International Journal of Science, Xi and his colleagues attempted to cut mosquito numbers even further by limiting both males and females' ability to reproduce. The results were so successful that they nearly killed the entire female mosquito population on the two islands.

It isn't the first attempt by researchers to reduce mosquito populations across the world. In 2018, scientists from the Imperial College of London used gene-editing tools to make female mosquitoes sterile, while males developed normally and continued spreading the genetic mutation (突变).Experts said the Asian Tiger Mosquitoes are particularly hard to kill using traditional population control methods, such as pesticides (杀虫剂) and removing stagnant (不流动的) water where the insects lay their eggs.

Mosquitoes create grave threats to human health beyond just bites. The World Health Organization (WHO) has described the insects as "one of the deadliest animals in the world," due to their ability to rapidly spread deadly diseases such as dengue fever and malaria. There is currently no effective vaccine or treatment for most mosquito-spread diseases, leaving controlling the insects' populations one of the most effective control methods, according to the International Journal of Science. “A new tool like what's being described in this paper is very much needed” said Stephen Dobson, a professor of medical insectology at University of Kentucky.

【1】What does the underlined word "unaltered" in paragraph 3 refer to?

A.Unchanged. B.Undivided.

C.Unadopted. D.Unfinished.

【2】Why do mosquito populations have to be controlled?

A.Mosquitoes cause genetic changes in humans.

B.Mosquitoes spread some deadliest diseases.

C.Mosquitoes limit people's ability to reproduce.

D.Mosquitoes make traditional vaccines ineffective.

【3】What has been the most successful way of reducing mosquito numbers?

A.Editing genes in female mosquitoes.

B.Sterilizing male mosquitoes before mating.

C.Limiting both genders' reproduction ability.

D.Using pesticides and removing stagnant water.

【4】What can we learn from Stephen Dobson's words?

A.The things described in this paper are not practical.

B.A better way of mosquito control is yet to be found.

C.Xi Zhiyong' s method has proven to be very effective.

D.A new tool is needed in order to improve Xi's research.

22、How to congratulate someone

Joyful time goes hand in hand with congratulations. When you address graduates, newly-weds, or anyone with good news, a hearty "Congratulations!" is in order. To send congratulations more effectively, you'd better obey the following three tips.

【1】When there is something to celebrate, don't skirt around the issue. Explain why you congratulate the person right off the bat.【2】Besides, you should set the right tone and send congratulations with the right words to share in the person's happiness more easily.

Express how you feel about the subject.【3】For instance, you may say that you adore the person who tries hard to achieve his or her goal, or merely say "I'm so happy for you". Remember that your tone of voice can really carry weight.【4】

Try to make your congratulations sincere. You ought to make your words and actions heartfelt, for whatever reason you send congratulations to someone. Surely there will be moments when your compliments are not given from the bottom of your heart.【5】Remind yourself to congratulate other people rather than nursing jealousy, because there may come a time when it's your turn to be in the spotlight.

A.Spread the word.

B.Be as expressive as you can.

C.Bring up the subject.

D.But you'd better be as generous as possible.

E.You can also tell him or her how you heard the news if necessary.

F.You feel forced to congratulate someone when you are not really happy for them.

G.You can further convey your feelings appropriately after saying “congratulations.”

23、A friend sent me an email, asking if I'd consider writing about educational apps for children to watch while on road trips. The email said, "Many are turning to road trips. And often with long car rides comes the use of on-screen entertainment. These educational apps should also develop their art, math and design skills."

While I realize the intention is well-meaning, and doubtless would lead to a quieter car ride for the parents, the thought of sticking kids in front of screens on a road trip makes me queasy. You see, if they're glued to a screen for hours on end, they will miss everything that's going by outside the window. And that means they'll miss out an a major part of the trip and the opportunity to engage in conversation with family members, but to be alone with their own thoughts, or simply to be bored.

There is so much to see on a road trip! Cars, trees, faces, building, markets, airplanes landing-the entire world is out there, and staring at it from the backseat of a car familiarizes a child with what is going on.

I have a theory that paying attention to one's surroundings while traveling by car helps children develop an internal compass. If they don't pay attention during all those years when they're being driven, they'll struggle to know where to go and how to locate themselves once they're independent. This doesn't mean they have to be alert (警惕的) for the entire journey, but not being on a screen naturally allows for a higher level of engagement with one's surroundings. When you listen to music, you'll look up occasionally; you'll pay attention to landmarks.

What can children do on the trip? Actually, there are plenty of off-screen activities.

【1】What was the author's friend's intention to develop apps?

A．To make some extra money.

B．To seek advice on educating kids.

C．To entertain and educate children.

D．To improve the relationship in the family.

【2】Which can best replace the underlined word "queasy" in paragraph 2?

A．Uncomfortable.

B．Tired.

C．Unsafe.

D．Lonely.

【3】What is the author's opinion on focusing on the surroundings when traveling?

A．It can raise children's environmental awareness.

B．It can help children develop a sense of direction.

C．It can give children the courage to learn to drive.

D．It can enable children to become more independent.

【4】What can be the best title for the text?

A．Take the Chance of Traveling to Relax Yourself.

B．Say Goodbye to Educational Apps on Your Holiday

C．Learn to Look up from Your Screens from Time to Time

D．Leave the Screens Alone on Your Next Family Road Trip

24、Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.

A consumercomplaint or customer complaint isan expression of dissatisfaction on a consumer’s behalf to a responsible party. It can also be described in a positive sense as a report from a consumer providing documentation about problems with a product or service.

So what are the common reasons for customer complaints? The most common complaints about retail(零售) storesfall into several aspects. First, they have to circle the filled parking lot endlessly, which is a waste of time and a test for their patience. They also can’t stand clutteredshelves, over-loaded racks, out-of-stock items and long check-out lines. Worst of all, sometimes some salespeople are rude, turning their mood into a bad one.

In fact, some modern business consultants urge businesses to view customer complaints as a gift but not a trouble.Some retailers, however,ignore complaints or deal with them dishonestly, which can cause a chain of events like bad reputation, leave theirbusiness with fewer and fewer customers. The resulting “snowball effect” can be disastrous to retailers.In the most severe cases, it can even cause companies to shut down.

Increasing competition is forcing companies to take more effective measures to satisfycustomers and better their customer service.During peak shopping hours, some moonlighting(业余兼职的) local police have been employed as parking attendants bysome retailers to solve the parking problems. Some hire flag wavers to direct customers to parking spaces that are empty. This guidance can avoid confrontation between those eyeing the same parking space.Retailers can relieve the headache by redesigning store layouts, pre-stocking sales items, hiring the cashiers with much experience, and having sales representatives on hand to answer questions.Most importantly, salespeople should be trained to deal with angry customerswith politeness.Try their best to resolve the problem if they can.

Quickly and properly solving customer complaints can help retailers smooth over issues and their business can grow and prosper.
