21、Night fell. A policeman was patrolling(巡逻) in his block when he noticed a man leaning against the doorway of a restaurant. “It’s all right here, officer, I’m waiting for a friend. 20 years ago tonight, I dined here with Jimmy Wells, my best buddy. I was to leave for the West the next day. We agreed to meet here again 20 years later.” said the man, striking a match to light his cigar. “Hope your friend comes around.” said the policeman, passing on along his beat.

20 minutes later a tall man in a long overcoat went directly to the waiting man. “Is that you, Bob?” he asked doubtfully. “Is that you, Jimmy Wells?” cried the man. “Oh!” exclaimed the new arrival. “It’s Bob! How has the West treated you, old sport?” “It’s given me everything. You’ve changed lots — so tall by two or three inches.” “I grew a bit.” “Doing well here?” “Moderately. Come on, let s go to my place and have a good talk. ”

The two hit the road, arm in arm, with one boasting his career in the West. At the corner stood a drug store, brilliant with electric lights. When they came into this glare, each of them stared at the others’ face.

The man from the West stopped and released his arm, “You’re not Jimy Wells. 20 years is not long enough to change a man’s nose from a Roman to a pug.”

“It sometimes changes a good man into a bad one,” said the tall man. “You’ve been under arrest for ten minutes, ‘Silky’ Bob. Chicago thinks you may have dropped over our way and wires us she wants to have a chat with you. Before going to the station, here’s a note to you from Patrol man Wells.”

The man unfolded the note, reading:

“Bob: I was at the appointed place on time. When you struck the match, I saw it was the face wanted in Chicago. Somehow I couldn’t do it myself, so I went around and got a plain clothes man to do the job. JIMMY.”

【1】Why did Bob show up at the doorway of the restaurant?

A．Because he wanted to avoid being caught by the policeman.

B．Because he expected to taste the best food again in his hometown.

C．Because he tried to keep the appointment with his old friend.

22、   It's easy to understand why early humans domesticated (驯养)dogs as their new best friends, domesticated dogs can guard against fierce animals and provide warmth during cold nights. But those benefits only come following domestication. Despite more than a century of study, scientists have struggled to understand what caused the domestication process in the first place.

A new theory given by Maria Lahtinen, a senior researcher, might be able to explain this puzzle. She made this theory when studying die diet of late Pleistocene hunter-gatherers in Arctic and sub — Arctic. At that time, around 20,000 to 15,000 years ago, the world was buried in the coldest period of the last ice age. In cold environments then, as today, humans tended to gain the majority of their food from animals. Nutritional deficiencies (缺失) came from the absence of fat and carbohydrates (碳水化合物), not necessarily protein. Indeed, if humans cat too much meat, they can develop protein poisoning and even die. "Because we humans are not fully adapted to an all-meat diet, we simply cannot digest protein very well," Lahtinen says.

During the coldest years of the last ice age — and especially in lough Arctic and sub-Arctic winters — reindeer, wild horses and other animals that humans killed for food would have been struggling to live. Using previously published early fossil records, Lahtinen and her colleagues calculated that the gamecaptured by people in the Arctic and sub-Arctic during this time would have provided much more protein than they could have safely consumed.

【1】What has been confusing scientists in the past century?

A．How domesticated dogs benefited humans.

B．When humans began to domesticate dogs.

C．What led to dog domestication originally.

D．Why early humans made friends with clogs.

【2】What will happen if one eats too much meat?

A．It can be fatal in a short period of time.

B．He will probably digest it very well.

C．He can develop carbohydrates poisoning.

D．He will survive the cold environment.

【3】What does the underlined word "game” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

A．The fierce contests.

B．The hunting activities.

C．Wild animals or birds.

D．Some tricks or schemes.

【4】What can be learned about the late Pleistocene hunter-gatherers from the last paragraph?

A．They struggled with wild horses.

B．They shared extra meat with dogs.

C．They struggled to live a good life.

D．They had trouble adapting to the cold environment.

23、Duncan Jurman has been fascinated by butterflies since he was 4 years old. Early on, he learned that butterfly populations were becoming smaller globally due to human activities so he developed gardens at his home, where he raised more than 5,000 butterflies to be released.

In 2018, Jurman developed a large butterfly garden at his high school, which has since attracted 28 species of butterflies, including two endangered species. The garden has also attracted other wildlife, including birds, lizards, and insects.

Jurman is devoted to protecting butterflies by reviving natural habitats. He travels to high schools to share his knowledge and encourage others to help in his quest. He’s now working with gardeners and local residents to rescue endangered butterfly species and create better habitats in general for wildlife.

“From teaching, I recognized that most students don’t know the important roles butterflies play in our nature—as pollinators of plants and key food sources for numerous animals, such as birds and lizards,” Jurman said. “Most don’t know that butterfly populations worldwide are in serious danger. Though equipped with advanced technology as a whole today, most students don’t know gardening, insects and nature in general compared with previous generations."

“I want to change this situation and realize there’s an opportunity to raise youth’s awareness of the importance of butterflies, the many threats facing them, and the relatively little effort necessary to have an immediate effect on the future of butterflies," he added.

【1】Why did Jurman develop gardens?

A．Because he was fascinated by butterflies.

B．Because he was in love with unique butterflies.

C．Because there were different species of butterflies.

D．Because the populations of butterflies were dropping.

【2】What can butterflies do in nature?

A．Serve as animals’ food.

B．Recognize serious natural dangers.

C．Advance agricultural technology.

D．Appeal to birds and lizards.

【3】What’s Jurman’s attitude toward raising teenagers’ awareness of protecting butterflies?

A．Uncertain.

B．Positive.

C．Unknown

D．Disappointed.
