21、Last August, I visited Melbourne Zoo and saw a baby Sumatran orangutan (苏门答腊猩猩). His birth was part of an international program to help the Sumatran orangutan survive as a species. At the moment these beautiful animals are in danger of disappearing in the next 10 to 20 years.

Melbourne Zoo is a modem zoo. Like most modem zoos, it cares very much about animals. It is not a cruel place. You could certainly argue that zoos were cruel places in the past, but I don't believe you can argue that they are cruel places today.

In the past, zoos were exhibition parks. Their only purpose was to give humans pleasure, by showing them wonderful animals that they would otherwise never see. Because animals were only there for the good of humans, no one took much care of them. They were transported thousands of miles around the world, then locked up in small, lonely cages (笼子). In those days, zoos were cruel.

These days, things are very different. The whole purpose of zoos has changed. Now zoos have three main purposes: education, conservation (保护) and research. They aim to make animals better off everywhere. Because of this, the way animals are cared for is also different.

Education is a big part of the activity at zoos. At Sydney's Taronga Park Zoo, for example, 130, 000 school children attend special programs every year to learn about how animals behave and what they need to live. The aim is to make children learn more about animals now so that they will care about them when they are adults.

Zoos play a major role in the protection and conservation of endangered species. The Sumatran orangutan is just one example of the many animals that are better off because of special programs.

Zoos carry out many important research programs which help animals in captivity (囚禁) and in the wild. Recent research, for example, has shown that many intelligent animals enjoy playing games while in captivity.

Modern zoos care about animals first, and people second. Zoos are not cruel places.

【1】What does the author think of Melbourne Zoo?

A．Old.

B．Cruel.

C．Caring.

D．Big.

【2】What was a zoo's major purpose in the past according to the author?

A．To please human beings.

B．To look after sick animals.

C．To bring pleasure to animals.

D．To give visitors a chance to learn.

【3】What does Sydney's Taronga Park Zoo do?

A．It introduces new species.

B．It holds animal exhibitions in schools.

C．It has special animal programs for adults.

D．It educates children about animals' behavior.

【4】What's the best title for the text?

A．Zoos are not cruel places

B．Zoos need to be changed

C．Zoos are popular with kids

D．Zoos should set animals free

22、FESTIVALS AND CELEBRATIONS

Festivals and celebrations of all kinds have been held everywhere since ancient times. Most ancient festivals would celebrate the end of cold weather, planting in spring and harvest in autumn. 【1】

Festivals of the Dead

Some festivals are held to honour the dead or to satisfy the ancestors, who might return either to help or to do harm. For the Japanese festival Obon, people should go to clean graves and light incense in memory of their ancestors. The Western holiday Halloween is now a children’s festival, when they can dress up and go to their neighbors’ homes to ask for sweets. 【2】

Festivals to Honour People

【3】The Dragon Boat Festival in China honors the famous ancient poet, Qu Yuan. India has a national festival to honour Mohandas Gandhi, the leader who helped gain India’s independence from Britain.

【4】

Harvest and Thanksgiving festivals can be very happy events. People are grateful because their food is gathered for the winter. China and Japan have mid-autumn festivals, when people admire the moon and in China, enjoy moon-cakes.

Spring Festivals

The most energetic and important festivals are the ones that look forward to the end of winter and the coming of spring. 【5】In some Western countries, Easter is an important religious and social festival for Christians around the world. It celebrates the return of Jesus from the dead and the coming of spring and new life.

People love to get together to eat, drink and have fun with each other. Festivals let us enjoy life, be proud of our customs and forget our work for a little while.

A．Harvest Festivals.

B．Traditional Festivals.

C．They offer food, flowers and gifts to the dead.

D．Festivals can also be held to honour famous people.

E．If the neighbors do not give any sweets, the children might play a trick on them.

F．During the Spring Festival in China, people eat dumplings and may give children lucky money in red paper.

G．Today’s festivals have many origins: some are religious, some seasonal, and some for special people or events.

23、   A holiday is any day when people lay aside their ordinary duties and cares. The word came from Old English. At first, holidays honored some holy events or persons. People in Great Britain and other countries speak of holidays as Americans speak of vacations.

Every nation has its special holidays. China observes New Year’s Day(January 1), May Day and National Day as it was on Oct.1, 1949 that the People’s Republic of China was founded as legal（法定的） holidays. The Chinese have long celebrated the Chinese lunar year. In the United States, Congress has declared several days as legal holidays such as New Year’s Day(January 1), Martin Luther King, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and so on. Some holidays celebrate special events in the development of a country, such as Greece’s Independence Day and Italy’s Liberation Day.

In the United States, banks and school usually close on a legal holiday. When such a holiday falls on Sunday, the following Monday is usually observed. Schools and organizations often observe days known as traditional holidays, although schools and business do not close then. Those holidays include Valentine’s Day and Halloween.

【1】From the passage we know that China’s National Day is on ________ .

A.January 1 B.October 1 C.May 1 D.June 1

24、Some people must carefully pay attention to everything they put in their mouths in order to control their weight. By contrast, others can eat French fries to their hearts' content and achieve the same result. How do some people manage never to gain weight?

"Perception, one of the most important factors, has nothing to do with the body type because our personal feeling is always wrong. We often feel that some people who eat more don't put on weight. Actually? those who appear to eat whatever they like without gaining weight aren't eating more than the rest of us," said professor Kathleen Melanson. "For example, your friend who eats ice cream on a daily basis might eat less at another meal- or snack less throughout the rest of the day.”

“Physical activity can also make a difference, but it doesn't have to be a gym workout. There's little evidence to suggest that—without exercise-some people were born to burn significantly more calories than others," said Dr Ines Barroso, a researcher at the University of Cambridge. But there may be physical differences that allow some people to naturally control the number of calories they consume without exercising much self-regulation.

A lot of nervous system signals and hormones （激素）that circulate in our blood interact to tell us when we're hungry or full. This is called the appetite regulatory system, and it may be more sensitive in some people than others, Melanson said. One important hormone involved in this system is leptin （瘦素）.It helps regulate how much food we want to eat over longer periods of time, not just for our next meal. So a person with a more sensitive system might go back for seconds and thirds at a party, then feel full for the next few days and eat less.

Genetics can also play a role in a person's tendency to gain or lose weight. Researchers have identified over 250 different regions of DNA that are associated with obesity, according to a 2019 study published in PLOS Genetics.

【1】What does the underlined word “Perception" in paragraph 2 probably mean?

A．Connection.

B．Sense.

C．Defense.

D．Reduction.

【2】What do we know about leptin?

A．It makes people usually feel hungry.

B．It helps people have a better appetite.

C．It helps people regulate their food intake.

D．It makes people more sensitive to the flavour of food.

【3】What do the findings of the 2019 study show?

A．Weight problems can be avoided.

B．Losing weight is equally difficult for everyone.

C．Some people may be born to have weight problems.

D．Genes can be completely changed to avoid weight problems.

【4】What is the author's main purpose in writing the text?

A．To share some ideas about how to lose weight.

B．To explain why some people never gain weight.

C．To advise people to control their daily diet strictly.

D．To call for people to pay attention to healthy eating.

25、Scientists say that the brains of animals and humans risk severe damage without blood ow and oxygen. But, researchers say they were able to ________ some activity in the brains of pigs that had been killed four hours earlier. Nenad Sestan, one of the Yale School of Medicine researchers, said that by medical ________, the brains were not living brains. He added that the brains could not think or sense anything.

The researchers, however, found that cells within brains that have lost their supply of blood and oxygen could ________ longer than scientists had believed. The research might ________ new medical treatments for stroke and other conditions. It also provides a new way to study the brain and how drugs work in it. The 32 brains in the study came from pigs that had been killed for food. The scientists put the brains into a device in their lab. Four hours after the animal died, they began pumping a specially designed blood ________ through the organs. After six hours, scientists found that individual brain cells in one area of the brain had ________ to keep important details of their structure. And when they sent electric signals to the brains, the cells ________ in a way that showed viability (可生存性).

The scientists studied the artificial blood before and after it entered the treated brains. They found the brain cells were ________ blood sugar and oxygen and producing carbon dioxide: a(n) ________ hat they were working. They also found that blood pathway in treated brains reacted to a drug that makes them wider. But the brains did not show large amounts of activity that would be a sign of consciousness. The scientists said restoring consciousness was not the ________ of the study, and that they did not know whether it was possible. The scientists said that they had no ________ to try their methods on human brains at this time. ________, they arc now looking to keep the study for longer than six hours of treatment.

Chris-tof Koch, president of the Allen Institute for Brain Science, who did not take part in the study, said he was surprised by the results, ________ since they came from such a large animal. He said the study could increase our knowledge to bring people back to the land of living after a drug overdose. He suggested it also could ________ treatments for a patient when the brain has not received enough oxygen for an hour or two. Koch said the results of the study also raised question about the widely used definition of death - the ________ loss of brain activity.
