21、 You may have heard the expression “crocodile tears” when it comes to someone who is not showing true emotion and is being insincere. While this may extend to the phrase, some research shows that crocodile tears may be more similar to ours than previously thought.
In the study published in Frontiers in Veterinary Science, a group of researchers collected tears from a variety of animals including macaws, owls, parrots, hawks, sea turtles, tortoises and caimans. Additionally, they collected tears from 10 healthy humans.
The tear samples were then examined and were found to be similar when it came to electrolyte (电解质) composition with one slight difference being in that bird and reptile (爬行动物) tears had a slightly higher concentration than other species. Additionally, in the tears of the sea turtles and owls, there were higher levels of protein found.
Where variation eventually did come in was when the researchers examined how tears became solid as they dried. They found that the tears from different animals form totally different patterns, much like snowflakes (雪花) each has individual and unique shape. They noticed that the turtles’ and caimans’ tears were especially different. They owed this to their adaptation (适应) in some way in order to be able to better function in their habitats.
One note that the researchers made was that the tear samples they collected were from captive (圈养的) animals, which could be completely different from animals found in the wild. However, the study still is one of the biggest studies of its kind in comparing tear compositions across varying species.
Lead author Arianna P. Oria from Brazil said, “This discovery is vital for understanding the evolution and adaptation processes, and is essential for the discovery of drugs to treat eye diseases. This knowledge helps in the understanding of the evolution and adaption of these species, as well as in their conservation. ”

22、The UK Space Agency (UKSA) has given more than £1 million towards tracking satellites and space junk in orbit.
The money will be given to seven companies that are working on ways to develop new sensor technologies that spot objects in space, working out what they are and track them.
Finding better ways to monitor everything currently in orbit has become a big priority because, with more and more satellites being launched, there is growing concern about the possibility of collisions.
Added to that are around 900,000 objects—made up of old space equipment that no longer works, and junk like gloves and tool kits accidentally dropped by astronauts—that are still in orbit. The UK Space Agency is owned by the government and is responsible for strengthening the UK’s position in the space sector (领域).
Although some space junk is very small, only around 1 cm, it could do a lot of damage and even completely destroy a spacecraft if there was a high-speed collision. It is hoped that the new research can create something like an automated traffic management system in the future, which will keep functioning satellites out of harm’s way.
Jacob Geer from UKSA said, “Space tracking is one of the key things we can do to keep safe those satellites we rely on now, and to make sure certain orbits don’t become obstructed for future generations because there is too much junk in them.”
The Ministry of Defence and UKSA recently agreed to work together when it comes to space, with both having valuable satellites in orbit that they want to protect.
The UK government is now part-owner of the OneWeb satellite broadband company, which has launched 74 satellites and has plans to put up thousands more.
【1】Why has UKSAgiven a large amount of money to some companies?
A.To explore space.

【2】What can we infer from paragraph 3?
A.There is an urgent need to clear up the orbit in space.

C.More and more satellites should be launched into space.
D.There has been better ways to solve problems concerning space.
【3】Which of the following can replace the underlined word “obstructed” in paragraph 6?
A.Incredible.
B.Impossible.
C.Inaccessible.
D.Unavoidable.
【4】What would be the best title for the text?
A.UKSA has launched more satellites.
B.UKSA has detected too much junk in space.
C.UKSA has found better ways to monitor space.
D.UKSA has offered financial support to protect satellites.
23、The best racecourses (赛马场) are in all corners of the country, which means it’s accessible for all fans of the sport.
Cheltenham
There are big festivals throughout the year, but nothing comes close to excitement levels when the Cheltenham Festival is approaching. It is the home of National Hunt racing, and every year millions of fans are glued to the racing on the track watching the competition. The biggest race of the meeting is the Cheltenham Gold Cup, held annually on the Friday of the meeting.
Aintree
While the biggest National Hunt meeting of the season takes place at Cheltenham, it could be argued that the race that draws the inexperienced viewers to the sport is the Grand National. The race is an important part of British life, as everyone makes a habit of watching the race annually with friends and family.
Ascot
For lovers of flat racing, Ascot meetings are a must. The biggest of the season is Royal Ascot, which is one of the most unique of the season as Queen Elizabeth attends it herself. There are 26 days of racing throughout the year at Ascot, which also includes National Hunt meetings as well as flat. However, one of the other big race days comes as the King George and Queen Elizabeth Stakes takes place. This is one of the most fashionable race days on calendar, as all visitors entering certain zones must be wearing a top hat.

24、In Chinese cities, food deliverymen are often seen riding at full speed through busy traffic. They rushed from restaurants to different destinations, even under bad weather conditions.
The article The Food Deliverymen Are Trapped in the App pointed out that on food delivery service platforms, Eleme and Meituan, the time limit and the route for each delivery order is calculated by an algorithm(算法).But the algorithm doesn't consider real-life situations, such as red lights, speed limits and fully occupied elevators.
The time limit for a delivery order within 2 kilometers is 30 minutes, even shorter in recent years. Delay could mean a fine. So deliverymen rev up, often breaking traffic rules, putting their own lives at risk.
Many people asked the platforms to improve the regulations imposed(强加) on the deliverymen. In response to this demand, Eleme announced it would add a button to the app, which allowed customers to extend the time limits for their orders, and encouraged customers to show more respect for deliverymen. But some people felt that the company was staying away from the problem and changing people’s attention. Some held the view that the company was putting the responsibility on the customers rather than solving the problem itself.
As to delivery delays, solutions are far from enough. As a matter of fact, when a delivery delay happens and the company can’t reach an agreement with the customer on the responsibility, the deliveryman is usually the final one responsible for the delay. The Shanghai Customer Council commented that it was unfair for the deliveryman to be the only side responsible for a delay and problems should be solved between the companies and their employees. Besides, market regulatory departments should stop companies from setting tight schedules for their deliverymen and keep them safe on the roads.
【1】What does the underlined expression “rev up” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Run away.
B.Speed up.
C.Wander around.
D.Slow down.
【2】Who usually bears the responsibility for a delivery delay?

B.Solve the problems of delivery delays with the customers.
C.Stop companies from setting tight schedules for their employees.
D.Employ more deliverymen for the delivery companies.
【4】What's the text mainly about?
A.The customers’ rights should be protected.
B.Food delivery regulations need improvement.
C.Food deliverymen take risks on their way.
D.Delivery platforms earn more than before.
