21、Kangaroos have long been a nuisance to many Australian farmers. Keeping these kinds of animals away from their crops and water supplies has become a continuous fight. A traditional way has been a series of the huge screaming （尖叫）from loudspeakers. Researchers have found that kangaroos often become used to these man-made sounds and take little notice of them.

Australian farmers could be about to get an unusual new weapon（武器）to protect their crops from kangaroos. Researchers in Melbourne have found that kangaroos can be frightened away by the loud sound of their own large feet. It appears to be quite a breakthrough. This is the noise these animals make when they feel danger before running away quickly. Using the animals’ own alarm system could be what angry farmers have been looking for.

Animal rights protectors are happy about this new finding. When people complain that the number of' kangaroos has risen quickly, they say that a large number of kangaroos have been killed or injured on Australian roads by cars and trucks. Also, they don't want several million to be shot dead every year by human beings. Researchers, who are hoping to develop their footstep sound technology, believe it could also be used to lead kangaroos away from busy highways. The protectors are in favor of this solution which can prevent kangaroos from being harmed and also please the farmers.

【1】What problem do kangaroos bring to Australian farmers?

A．Breaking into houses.

B．Making noises.

C．Frightening farmers.

D．Destroying crops.

【2】What is the new way to drive away kangaroos?

A．Cutting off water suplies.

B．Killing them with guns.

C．Using the sound of their own footstep.

D．Sending man-made sound through loudspeakers.

【3】Why do animal rights protectors agree with this new solution?

A．Because it costs less.

B．Because they prefer new technology.

C．Because it's a prevention — and — protection way.

D．Because it can help reduce the traffic accidents.

22、   In Woods Chan's class at a High School in California, students chat with each other in Spanish.Arabic(阿拉伯语) and Mam, a Mayan language from Guatemala. The students have only been in the US for a few weeks or months. Many students were from different countries last year. Woods Chan became concerned when she started hearing the Spanish-speaking students laugh when their classmates spoke Mam or Arabic.

Woods Chan came up with an idea. She asked her students to take turns teaching a little bit of their home language each day. Students taught their peers(同伴) how to count from 1 to 10, how to introduce themselves and how to say basic phrases or words like, ""Cool. "Then, they recorded themselves saying those phrases in short videos and wrote vocabulary words on the whiteboard.

Woods Chan saw the difference in her students. She said they grew more confident after seeing their own language on the whiteboard and hearing it in the videos. They started making friends with each other across cultural lines. Other students who were not in that class would come in and see something written in Mam on the whiteboard and say, "Hey, that's Mam! I speak Mam!”

The project also helped students understand their peers better. Orlando, a 17-year-old student from El Salvador, said he never knew Arabic or Mam even existed before he came to the US and heard his classmates talk. Now, he thinks it would be good for all students in his school to learn a little of their peers' home language. "When I first got here,”he said in Spanish, “I thought, ‘No one talks like me. I'm the only one,’ and I felt alone. Now, I don't feel so bad anymore.”

Knowledge of other languages can help Woods Chan's students beyond the classroom, too.Languages like Mam are becoming more and more common in the US. Some Oakland graduates have gone on to become Mam-English interpreters(口译员)to help fill a lack of interpreters in all kinds of settings.

【1】What made Woods Chan think of the idea?

A.Her students making fun of another's language

B.Her students hardly using their home language.

C.Her students being interested in learning a new language.

D.Her students having difficulty communicating with each other.

【2】What was the students feeling of seeing their home language written on the board?

A.Angry but accepting. B.Excited and proud.

C.puzzled but supportive. D.Relaxed and creative.

【3】What effect did Woods Chan's project have on Orlando?

A.It made him feel less alone at school.

B.It encouraged him to get a job as an interpreter.

C.It helped him understand his home language better.

D.It enabled him to work better in foreign language classes.

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

A.School is not the only place to learn.

B.All her students are language teachers.

C.She responds to her students' needs quickly.

D.Language is not a barrier to communication

23、Each time Chinese New Year is approaching, preparations are underway around the world. Here are some Chinatowns for those outside of China wishing to mark the day.

London

Although it may not be as large or as long-built as others, having only become a center for the Chinese community during the 1950s, London’s Chinatown is perfectly formed little firework that knows how to see in the year with a bang. Decorated with red lanterns, previous years have seen shows with acrobatics（杂技）, martial arts（武术）,dance and opera nearby.

San Francisco

San Francisco’s Chinatown is perhaps the most famous in the United States. The city was the main entry-point for Chinese who had crossed the Pacific to the USA during the early 19th century. Between the Grant Avenue and the Stockton Street, this historic area is a local treasure, attracting more visitors per year than the Golden Gate Bridge.

Bangkok

With an about 100-year-old history, the Thai capital’s Chinatown contains complex streets offering all kinds of tasty treats, clothes, toys and antiques. Sunday market days are such a good time to get the full atmosphere of the neighborhood. The area is also known for its gold dealers, whose shops line the road.

Mauritius

Found in Port Louis, this Mauritian Chinatown shows the island nation’s rich multicultural diversity. Established in the early years of the 20th century by settlers from China, its tiny shops and restaurants serve locals and visitors. During the Chinese Spring Festival, the most exciting sight is the Dragon Dances on Rue Royale when Chinese musicians and dancers perform the traditional lion dances through the streets.

【1】According to the text, which of the following has the longest history?

24、There’s fresh evidence that eating a healthy diet, one that includes plenty of fruits and vegetables and limits highly processed foods, can help reduce symptoms of depression.

A randomized controlled trial published in the journal PLOS ONE finds that symptoms of depression dropped significantly among a group of young adults after they followed a Mediterranean-style pattern of eating for three weeks. Participants saw their depression “score” fall from the “moderate” range down to the “normal” range.   【1】 Alternatively, the depression scores didn’t change for those who didn’t change their diet.

These participants continued to eat a diet higher in refined carbohydrates, processed foods and sugary foods and drinks. Their depression scores remained in the “moderate” range.   【2】

There is a highly consistent evidence base linking healthier diets to reduced depression risk. For example, a 2013 analysis of 22 previously published studies showed that the Mediterranean diet was associated with a lower risk of depression. 【3】 It suggested that a diet rich in fruit, whole grains, vegetables, fish, olive oil and low-fat milk was associated with a lower risk of depression while a diet rich in greater amounts of red meat, refined grains, sweets and high-fat dairy products was linked to a higher risk of depression.

【4】 They could be education, income, body weight and other health behaviors. Most of these studies show an association and “can’t indicate cause and effect”. In other words, the studies don’t prove dietary changes directly cause the improvement or decline in mood. 【5】 it is unlikely to be a cure for all mental diseases.

A．A 2017 study had similar findings.

B．People are quite surprised by the findings.

C．And they reported lower levels of anxiety and stress too.

D．Because it is hard to assess participants’ mental health,

E．So, while diet may be important to your mood and mental health.

F．We need further research to understand how our brain works to stay healthy.

G．Actually, these links between diet and depression are independent of some relative aspects.
