21、In the U. S., people eat more protein than they need to, which might not be bad for human health, but does pose a problem for the country’s waterways. The nation’s wastewater is loaded with the leftovers from protein digestion: nitrogen compounds(氯化合物) that can feed harmful algal blooms(藻华) and pollute the air and drinking water.

Maya Almaraz, a biogeochemist at the University of California, Davis, and her team wanted to see how much of this nitrogen entered into the U. S. wastewater system because of a protein-heavy diet. The researchers found that the majority of nitrogen pollution present in wastewater—some 67 to 100 precent—is a by-product of water people consume.

Once it enters the environment, the nitrogen can have a series of ecological impacts. It helps algae grow much faster than they would normally, which is harmful to humans, other animals and plants. And when the algae eventually die, the problem is not over. Microorganisms(微生物) that feed on dead algae use up the oxygen in the water, leading to “dead zones,” where many species simply cannot survive, in rivers, lakes and oceans.

Although it is possible to treat algal blooms, many of the current methods are not always effective at getting rid of all of the harmful growth. Some of these methods can even lead to additional pollution. So the best strategy for dealing with the effects of nitrogen pollution is prevention, says Patricia Glibert, an ocean scientist at the University of Maryland. Almaraz and her team suggest that controlling nitrogen pollution could be approached more quickly with a change in eating habits that could save billions of dollars in the long term.

【1】Which aspect of Americans’ diet does Almaraz’s research focus on ?

A．Its variety.

B．Its effect.

C．Its make-up.

D．Its amount.

【2】What causes “dead zones” in the water?

A．No oxygen for many species.

B．Death of lots of healthy algae.

C．Microorganisms’overconsumption of nutrients.

D．Poisonous chemicals released by harmful algae.

【3】What is the problem with current algal bloom treatment methods?

A．They are costly.

B．They may kill all algae.

C．They are slow to take effect.

D．They may cause secondary pollution.

【4】What does the text mainly tell us?

A．It is high time to treat wild algae growth.

B．Eating too much protein harms the planet.

C．Prevention is better than cure in treating air pollution.

D．Researchers find solutions to the wastewater problem.

22、One night many years ago when I was on the bridge of a ship that passed one of our large cities on a quiet night, I saw its lights reflected in the sky and heard the rumblings of the city's noises. As I looked to my other side, I could see nothing but open space of darkness and endless water. I realized how small I was and that my own problems of life did not seem great.

I have spent twenty—five years on boats. Now I am a docking pilot. My job is to bring in the large luxury liners and stay with them until they are safely anchored in their berths. Sometimes this requires two tugs(拖船）, sometimes many more, depending on the tide, the weather, and the draft of the vessel.

Most of you no doubt have seen these tugs pushing and pulling at the big liners. What they are doing doesn't seem to make much sense at first, but presently the big boat is alongside her landing stage, her ropes made fast, and the job is done.

These tugs, whether one or ten, move about in accord with whistle signals I send them from the bridge of the big liner. These signals make up a language that is just as dependable as the spoken word; or even more so, because our docking signals are rarely misunderstood. The captain of each tug does his work according to the signals he receives. He never asks questions. He takes everything on faith, and it always works out.

I fell very important the first time I ever docked a big liner, thinking that I was in control of a great ship worth millions of dollars and the owners were depending on me to bring her safely to her berth. After I had docked several of the large liners, I realized I was not important, but simply the quarterback who called the signals.

Working around tugboats has had its effect on what I believe. The great transatlantic liners depend on the help of the little tugs to bring them safely to port, and it is with one's success.

【1】According to paragraph 3, originally, the job of a tugboat was .

A．important

B．humble

C．tough

D．complex

【2】What is the main purpose of writing paragraph 4?

A．To give a detailed description.

B．To display the characteristics.

C．To make a comparison.

D．To help reveal the theme.

【3】According to the passage, one's success depends on .

A．diligence

B．mutual assistance

C．learning

D．individual excellence

【4】Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?

A．Tugboats and the Pilot

B．The Significance of Teamwork

C．The Workings of Tugboats

D．Philosophy from Tugboats

23、   After a morning hike in the Saneum HealingForest,46-year-old firefighter Kang Byoung-wook has tea made from the bark of an elm tree, practices yoga (瑜伽),and makes a picture with dried flowers. He is one of 40 firefighters taking part in a three-day program, the aim of which is to offer“forest healing" (森林治愈);the firefighters all have posttraumatic stress disorder (创伤后应激障碍).

Saneum is one of three official healing forests in South Korea. Soon there will be 34 more. South Koreans-many of whom suffer from work stress, digital addiction, and great academic pressure have accepted the medicalization of nature with great enthusiasm.

There is increasing evidence that being outside in a pleasant natural environment is good for us. But how many of us get to enjoy nature regularly? Fewer and fewer, it seems. According to Lisa Nisbet, a psychology professor at Canada s Trent University, evidence for the benefits of nature is pouring in at a time when we are most disconnected from it.

"We don't think of being outdoors as a way to increase happiness," says Nisbet."We think other things will, like shopping or TV."But South Korea is starting to challenge this opinion.

So what are some of the benefits of nature that Nisbet refers to? Being surrounded by nature has one obvious effect: It calms us and reduces our stress levels. This has been shown to lower blood pressure and heart rates.

Another experiment conducted by psychologist Stephen Kaplan found that people who took a 50-minute walk in a park had better attention and short-term memory than those who took a walk along a city street.

Perhaps what's more surprising is that nature may also make us more creative. David Strayer, a psychologist at the University of Utah, showed as much with a group of participants, who performed 50 percent better on creative problem-solving tasks after three days of wilderness backpacking.

In fact, we may never know exactly what nature does to the brain. Something mysterious will always remain, and maybe that' s as it should be.

【1】What is Kang Byoung-wook doing?

A.Getting lost in nature.

B.Building up his strength.

C.Trying to control a forest fire.

D.Helping firefighters under stress.

【2】What does Lisa Nisbet think of being outdoors?

A.It is overlooked by people.

B.It has nothing to do with happiness.

C.South Koreans show great interest in it.

D.We need more evidence for its benefits.

【3】What benefit of nature did Stephen Kaplan find?

A.It affects people's feelings.

B.It lowers the risks of diseases.

C.It helps improve mental performance.

D.It does more good than physical exercise.

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

A.Your life in forests

B.Your brain on nature

C.The future of forest healing

D.The benefits of a stress-free life
