21、Catching nearly 4,000 wild butterflies with handheld nets and taking the temperature of each tiny insect must rank among the harder of scientific efforts.
However, researchers have discovered significant differences in the ability of British butterflies to maintain a suitable temperature, raising fears that global heating will threaten the populations of some species.
Butterflies are ectotherms-unable to generate their own body heat-and require warm temperatures to fly. However, extreme temperatures can pose problems, particularly for those butterflies that must find shady habitats to regulate (调节) their body temperature.
The study shows that larger, paler butterflies are best able to protect themselves from extreme temperatures, changing the angles of their reflective wings in relation to the sun to direct heat away from or on to their bodies. Darker, large species have greater difficulty controlling their body temperature, but even they are better than “thermal specialists”, which rely on finding a spot at a specific temperature in a landscape-a “microclimate”-to control their body temperature.
“After being caught in butterfly nets on British nature reserves, the 29 different species of butterflies’ temperatures were taken with a fine probe. As we plan conservation measures to address the effects of climate change, it will be important to understand not only the habitat requirements of different butterfly species, but also their temperature requirements,” said Dr Ed Turner, of the University Museum of Zoology, Cambridge, who led the work. “With this new understanding of butterflies, we should be able to better manage habitats and landscapes to protect them, and in doing so we’re probably also protecting other insects too.”
【1】Why did scientists take the temperatures of butterflies?
A.To seek solutions to global heating.
B.To uncover climate threats to them.
C.To classify them into different species.
D.To stress the toughness of scientific research.
【2】How do larger, paler butterflies regulate their temperature?
A.By angling their wings.
B.By generating the body heat.
C.By choosing a microclimate.
D.By making use of their colour.
【3】On what basis do butterflies seek specific locations?
A.Finding a nature reserve.
B.Attracting other butterflies.
C.Adapting to climate change.
D.Perceiving the surroundings.
【4】What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.Understanding butterflies should be strengthened.
B.Better management of butterfly habitats is popular.
C.Protecting butterflies can lead to additional benefits.
D.Goals of protecting butterflies have been achieved.
22、Tips on Increasing Your Memory Power
One of the most common problems today is forgetfulness. Many people are searching for the key to a better memory.【1】
Increase your memory power by using associations.
The first technique to remember the things is the association technique. This includes the use of mnemonics(助记符号)or things similar to a particular word in order to remember what should be memorized.【2】However, the associations that a person creates himself will help to remember things more easily and more quickly.
Increase your memory power by repetition.
【3】Stimuli(刺激物)are things that stimulate a person to make his brain work. As a person repeatedly acquires stimuli to make his brain work, these stimuli are remembered by the brain. It is like learning words as a child. He applies all the repeated words he has heard during his life.
【4】
The third technique is about the application of body movements. By using simple hand gestures while saying a word, a person can remember things that he has forgotten.
There are lots of other ways to increase memory power. However, one must also be aware of the things to be avoided. The first thing that a person must do is to prevent stress.【5】If you follow these techniques on how to increase your memory power, life will be easier for you.
A.The second technique is repetition.
B.In other words, stress must be managed
C.Increase your memory power by using body movements.
D.Here are several techniques to increase a person’ memory power.
E.A lot of students use these techniques, especially during major exams.
F.There are several mnemonics available to help a person remember things.
G.A person might wonder why he couldn't remember the details the day before the exam.
23、 A quick look at Instagram will show you thousands of girls sharing their clothing of the day. Many of these girls are sharing completely new clothes every day. And they’re feeling the pressure to never repeat clothes. This attitude of not being able to wear something again after sharing it on Instagram is far too common. It is a sad thing when some girls feel sorry for appearing in the same clothes more than once on Instagram.
Clothes businesses push new “must-haves” every week, which adds to the pressure to keep up. Clothes have been so cheap because of the competition between clothes businesses that it’s shockingly easy to buy new clothes every day. These clothes businesses have made it possible for a normal person to never be seen in the same clothes twice. Often the quality of these clothes is so low that they don’t even survive the wash so there is no chance of that second wear.
Consider everything that goes into making a single piece of clothing—for example: plenty of water, energy and petrochemicals, finishing and labor of each worker throughout making it. It’s shocking to think after all this, a piece of clothing might be worn once, maybe twice, and then thrown away so that they can follow fast fashion.
The fashion of throwing clothes away after use needs to change. Proudly post the same clothes you’ve worn before online. Get creative with mixing and matching, and borrow from friends for special times. The possibilities are endless so there’s no need to shop frequently.
【1】What is a sad thing according to the first paragraph?
A.Some girls like showing off on the Internet.
B.Some girls spend too much time on social media.
C.Some girls care too little about their appearances.
D.Some girls think posting the same clothes online again wrong.
【2】What leads to the girls’ wearing the same clothes only once?
A.Online shopping.
B.Parents’ pressure.
C.Clothes businesses.
D.Laziness to wash clothes.
【3】Why does the author mention how single piece of clothing is made?
A.To tell us we should treasure clothes.
B.To show fast fashion’s great influence.
C.To show the development of the clothes industry.
D.To tell us we should have our own dressing styles.
【4】What does the author want to do in the last paragraph?
A.Offer reasons.
B.Give suggestions.
C.Give encouragement.
D.Offer more information.

25、 I once had an experience which helped me learn the real meaning of “put yourself in others’ shoes”. One day, while I was waiting in line at a coffee shop earlier, a woman _________ alongside the queue in a mobility scooter (电动代步车). There was only a _________ space between the line of people and the table, which she attempted to drive along. She drove over my foot but didn’t look back to say anything.
I got _________ and expected she would have apologized, but then I just decided to _________ it and got down to selecting which pastry (点心) to go with my coffee. The lady and I _________ sitting at adjacent (邻近的) tables. She was on the end of a row so that she could _________ her scooter. After about half an hour, when she had _________ her coffee, she got up and back onto her scooter. It wouldn’t start. She tried to turn the key several times _________ she telephoned the place she purchased it from. Sweat was _________ on her forehead, caused in part by anxiety, but __________ from embarrassment.
The place must have been local. An __________ turned up within 5 minutes. I couldn’t help overhearing their conversation, and it turned out she had only just __________ the scooter that morning. She’d come to the coffee shop for a stress-rest, which was her very first __________ in it. I heard that she felt really __________ about driving it. She certainly wasn’t used to its speed, nor its __________, and this combination made it quite __________ to drive it through narrow gaps.
__________, I felt sympathy for the lady. It really didn’t __________ me at all that she’d driven over my foot. __________, I had made an assumption that a person doing that should apologize.
Next time you’re about to __________ someone, pause for a second and remind yourself that people have made a judgment about you without knowing what was going on in your mind or your life.
