22、D

There are an extremely large number of antsworldwide. Each individual (个体的) ant hardly weigh anything, but put together they weigh roughly the same as all of mankind. They also live nearly everywhere, except on frozen mountain tops and around the poles.Foranimals their size, ants have been astonishingly successful, largely due to their wonderfulsocial behavior.

In colonies (群体) that range in size from a few hundred to tens of millions, they organize their lives with a clear division of labor. Even more amazing is how they achievethis level of organization. Where we use sound and sight to communicate, ants dependprimarily on pheromone (外激素), chemicals sent out by individuals and smelled or tastedby fellow members of their colony. When an ant finds food, it produces a pheromone that will lead others straight to where the food is. When an individual ant comes under attack or is dying, it sends out an alarm pheromone to warn the colony to prepare for a conflict as a defense unit.

In fact, when it comes to the art of war, ants have no equal. They are completely fearless and will readily take on a creature much larger than themselves, attacking in large groups and overcoming their target. Such is their devotion to the common good of the colony that not only soldier ants but also worker ants will sacrifice their lives to help defeat an enemy.

Behaving in this selfless and devoted manner, these little creatures have survived on Earth, for more than 140 million years, far longer than dinosaurs. Because they think as one, they have a collective (集体的) intelligence greater than you would expect from itsindividual parts.

【1】【1】We can learn from the passage that ants are ____________.

A. not willing to share food

B. not found around the poles

C. more successful than all other animals

D. too many to achieve any level of organization

【2】【2】Ants can use pheromones for______.

A. escape   B. communication

C. warning enemies   D. arranging labor

【3】【3】What does the underlined expression "take on" in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. Accept.   B. Employ.

C. Play with.   D. Fight against.

【4】【4】Which of the following contributes most to the survival of ants?

A. Their behavior.   B. Their size.

C. Their number.   D. Their weight

23、For those who make journeys across the world, the speed of travel today has turned the countries into a series of villages. Distances between them appear no greater to a modern traveler than those which once faced men as they walked from village to village. Jet plane fly people from one end of the earth to the other, allowing them a freedom of movement undreamt of a hundred years ago.

Yet some people wonder if the revolution in travel has gone too far. A price has been paid, they say, for the conquest (征服) of time and distance. Travel is something to be enjoyed, not endured . The boat offers leisure and time enough to appreciate the ever-changing sights and sounds of a journey. A journey by train also has a special charm about it. Lakes and forests and wild, open plains sweeping past your carriage window create a grand view in which time and distance mean nothing. On board a plane, however, there is just the blank blue of the sky filling the narrow window of the airplane. The soft lighting, in-flight films and gentle music make up the only world you know, and the hours progress slowly.

Then there is the time spent being “processed” at a modern airport. People are conveyed like robots along walkways; baggage is weighed, tickets produced, examined and produced yet again before the passengers move again to another waiting area. Journeys by rail and sea take longer, yes, but the hours devoted to being “processed” at departure and arrival in airports are luckily absent. No wonder, then, that the modern high-speed trains are winning back passengers from the airlines.

Man, however, is now a world traveler and can not turn his back on the airplane. The working lives of too many people depend upon it; whole new industries have been built around its design and operation. The holiday maker, too, with limited time to spend, patiently endures the busy airports and limited space of the flight to gain those extra hours and even days, relaxing in the sun. Speed controls people’s lives; time saved, in work or play, is the important thing—or so we are told. Perhaps those first horsemen, riding free across the wild, open plains, were enjoying a better world than the one we know today. They could travel at will, and the clock was not their master.

【1】What does the writer try to express in Paragraph1?

A. Travel by plane has speeded up the growth of villages．

B. The speed of modern travel has made distances relatively short．

C. The freedom of movement has helped people realize their dreams．

D. Man has been fond of travelling rather than staying in one place．

【2】How does the writer support the underlined statement in Paragraph2?

A. By giving instructions.

B. By analyzing cause and effect.

C. By following the order of time.

D. By giving examples.

【3】According to Paragraph 3, passengers are turning back to modern high-speed trains because______．

A. they pay less for the tickets

B. they feel safer during the travel

C. they can enjoy higher speed of travel

D. they don’t have to be “processed”

【4】What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Air travel benefits people and industries．

B. Train Travel has some advantages over air travel．

C. Great changes have taken place in modern travel.

D. The high speed of air travel is gained at a cost.

24、Critics who don’t themselves make music “SHOULD BE UNEMPLOYED”, the American singer Lizzo tweeted to her 222,000 followers this week. The star was reacting angrily to an unfavorable review of her new album Cuz I Love You.

Lizzo was wrong about this. Publishers, studios and artists have always been publicists (推介者) as well as creators. Independent voices offer a crucial counterweight. Critics help people determine which music, TV, books and plays to spend their time and money on, and to make the most of those choices. The Internet has made it easier to sample culture, while social media has vastly increased the range of word of mouth. But in this digital age, the critics’ role has become more important.

Judgments, whether of opera or soap opera, are subjective. What is considered beautiful or interesting depends on perspective. But knowledge and experience matter. A person who has been reading poetry for decades, or has seen a play many times, will be able to tell you things about a new poem or performance that others can’t—even, sometimes, their creators.

Disagreement is healthy. Artists are free to disagree with critics, just as other critics are. The Internet was supposed to make this whole process more democratic (民主的) and open, since it could publish far more opinions than the printed pages of old. The wisdom of the crowd, in all its diversity, would enhance that of the traditional gatekeepers.

This partly worked. It is much easier to access a range of views than it used to be. Lively arguments about talked-about shows can quickly spread. But social media also provides a platform for performers to reveal their sensitivity, or for armies of fans to attack anyone who dares to dislike a favored star.

The evil critic, motivated by envy of creativity, is an overused term to flatter (奉承) artists. True, reviewers can be mean. Criticism is the exercise of judgment, and this applies to what is said but also how and to whom; as a rule, novices (新手) should be treated more gently. Yet performers and others who hate unpleasant words should be careful what they wish for. Critics are part of the proof that culture matters.

【1】Why do critics understand a poem better than their creators?

A．Because they understand readers’ tastes better.

B．Because they are more experienced in poetry.

C．Because they draw on various online opinions.

D．Because they dare to disagree with artists.

【2】In which way does the Internet benefit critics?

A．It makes their judgements more objective.

B．It conveys their opinions to more people.

C．It provides different opinions for reference.

D．It helps them sense the artists’ sensitivity.

【3】What is the author’s attitude towards the Internet publishing more opinions?

A．Favorable.

B．Unclear.

C．Cautious.

D．Intolerant.

【4】What does the author suggest in the last paragraph?

A．The term “evil critic” should be abandoned.

B．Critics should be more gentle in their reviews.

C．New critics should be careful with their words.

D．Artists should accept unfavorable reviews.
