21、I’ve just asked Julie Gray, a biologist at the University of Sheffield, which species she thinks would be the last ones standing if we don’t take transformative action on climate change. “I don’t think it will be humans. I think we’ll go quite early on,” says Gray. Humans probably won’t be among the survivors, partly because humans produce young extremely slowly and generally just one or two at a time.
It may seem like just a thought experiment. But discussing which species are able to survive climate change is disturbingly concrete. As a report stated recently, one in four species currently faces extinction, which is closely linked to climate change. While the seriousness of climate change is undeniable, we can make some educated guesses about which species will have a better shot at going far.
According to Jen Lau, a biologist at University Bloomington, heat tolerant and drought resistant plants, like those found in deserts, are more likely to survive. So are plants whose seeds can be spread over long distances, for example by wind or ocean currents. Plants that can adjust their flowering times may also be better able to deal with higher temperatures.
We can also look to history as a guide. Cockroaches adapted to an increasingly dry Australia tens of millions of years ago, by starting to dig holes in soil to hide. Cockroaches also tend to not be picky eaters. Having broad diets means that climate change will be less of a threat to them.
Furthermore, species called “mobile generalists” by experts can move and adapt to different environments and are more likely to last long in face of climate change. For example, deer in the US are common in suburban areas and manage to live where forests have been removed or are regularly disturbed.
Certainly, some animals would also survive if they could find a buffer: an area that is relatively protected from climate change’s consequences, such as deep sea canyons, underground caves.
【1】What does the author probably think of the answer given by Gray?
A.Ridiculous.
B.Unreasonable.
C.Upsetting.
D.Exciting.
【2】Which of the following can replace the underlined part in Paragraph 2?
A.Peacefully wait.
B.Quickly die out.
C.Greatly change.
D.Possibly survive.
【3】Which of the following species is likely to survive climate change?
A.Trees growing in the rainforest and flowering at fixed time every year.
B.Animals good at digging holes and not particular about food.
C.Creatures mainly living in trees and spending most time sleeping.
D.Fishes that do not enjoy deep diving and like to stay in a bay.
【4】Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A.How Climate Will Change in the Future
B.What Species May Survive Climate Change
C.Why Some Species Have Broader Diets
D.Where Species Can Hide in Climate Change
22、If you need to spend time on the road,it’s important to find ways to keep safe on your feet. Don’t suppose it's your right of way. Yes, you might be crossing at the right place, at the right time, within the crosswalk area, but you are still exposed to danger. It could be a distracted driver, or a cyclist with a loose sense of traffic rules, so you could still get hurt. You can be in the right legally, but that won’t be much help when you're in the hospital.
Follow pedestrian signals. Just as drivers aren’t supposed to speed up to beat a light when crossing through an intersection, pedestrians need to take the same care when obeying their own signals. If the hand is flashing and the countdown is into single digits (数字),stay where you are. Trying to outrun the flashing hand is unsafe,especially as cars try to clear the intersection before the light turns red.
Give drivers enough time to stop when crossing. Don’t suppose that drivers will jam on their brakes when you hit the crosswalk signals. Some provinces, such as Alberta, issue (发出)a ticket if you don’t give drivers enough time to brake.
Cross quickly. Once you’ve followed all of the other rules, and it is safe to cross the street, don’t then just wander along in front of six lanes (车道)of traffic. There’s no need to run or jog, but respect the drivers who respected you enough to stop for you.
【1】Who is the text intended for?
A. Drivers. B. Cyclists. C. Police. D. Pedestrians.
【2】What does the underlined word “distracted” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Considerate. B. Strange.
C. Kind-hearted. D. Absent-minded.
【3】 In what case would pedestrians in Alberta be fined?
A. Racing against time with drivers.
B. Following crosswalk signals.
C. Crossing the crosswalk area.
D. Walking outside six lanes.
【4】 What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Rules for Traffic Police
B. Tips to Keep Safe on Your Feet
C. Things Every Driver Should Know
D. Signals for Both Pedestrians and Drivers
23、 For the first few months of 2021, Mars was crowded with new “visitors” from Earth. First, it was the UAE Space Agency’s Hope, followed by the Chinese Tianwen-1. The name comes from the long poem Tianwen, written by Qu Yuan, a great poet of ancient China. In Tianwen, this name conveys China’s steady effort in pursuing truth and culture of exploring the universe.
The Tianwen-1 rover landing has orbiting, landing and roving (巡视) components—the first mission to include all three on its first attempt. Landing on Mars is extremely dangerous. It requires entering the atmosphere at very high speeds, then slowing down before landing. As to Tianwen-1, a heat shield (防热护罩) protected the spacecraft during the fiery (燃烧的) landing, after which the mission safely parachuted (使空降) down to the Utopia Planitia (乌托邦平原). The landing platform fired small, downward-facing rocket engines to slow down during the last few seconds.
China’s Mars rover, called Zhurong after an ancient Chinese fire god, sent back images of the surface of Mars captured by a camera on its front, which functions as an “eye” to detect barriers and get around them. The Utopia Planitia, where Tianwen-1 landed, has long been believed to contain vast amounts of water ice. Zhurong will first and foremost study Martian soil and atmosphere and search for signs of water ice, which suggests the existence of life.
Tianwen-1 is China’s first interplanetary (行星间的) mission. Meanwhile, China is working with Russia on a sample-return mission scheduled to launch in 2024. China is open and inclusive in the development of its space technology to build a community with a shared future for mankind.
【1】Why was China’s “visitor” to Mars named Tianwen?
A.To emphasize the value of exploring Mars.
B.To arouse readers’ interest in reading classics.
C.To illustrate the long history of writing poems.
D.To show China’s constant struggle in space exploration.
【2】Which of the following contributed to the safe landing on Mars?
A.The heat shield on the spacecraft.
B.The camera on the front of Zhurong.
C.The flat landscape of the Utopia Planitia.
D.The rocket engines above the landing platform.
【3】What is the primary target of Zhurong on Mars?
A.To build a shared future for mankind.
B.To look for signs of life on the red planet.
C.To push the boundaries of space exploration.
D.To inform people of our achievements in space.
【4】What can we learn from the text?
A.China is the first country to land a rover on Mars.
B.China is confident of the existence of life on Mars.
C.Tianwen-1 proves joint efforts matter in space research.
D.Tianwen-1 marks the start of China’s interplanetary exploration.
24、 What if you could take your drawing pen and simply scan any color you want and then turn around and draw with it? This new pen design allows you to do that. That is Scribble. And it’s very easy to use.
·How does Scribble work?
The built-in RGB sensor (传感器) lets you easily get any color — simply point it at an object and press the button! Red, green and blue inks are then mixed — much like in a traditional printer — to create your desired color.

The Scribble Pen (for paper) comes with three different sizes of drawing tips. Scribble is perfect for both drawing and writing. The Scribble Stylus Pen comes with two different tips — hard tip and soft tip. It works on more than just paper; it can be used for drawing or writing on your mobile device.
·Rechargeable battery
Scribble’s battery is rechargeable and lightweight. The Scribble Pen’s battery lasts seven hours. And the Scribble Stylus Pen’s battery lasts as long as 15 hours.
·Price
The regular price of a Scribble Pen is US$400. Now, you can have it at 40% off the regular price. And you can have a Scribble Stylus Pen at US$119 (save US$80). You also need to pay US$15 for postage. Remember to choose the color you want. At present, we offer five colors for you to choose from. If you are an artist, you really need a pen like this. It’s the last pen you will ever need to buy.
