21、A worrying rise in social media posts, suggesting that people leave their Halloween pumpkins in the woods to feed wildlife after October 31, has made wildlife experts concerned. Thousands of pumpkins are discarded in woods across Britain. While well-meaning pumpkin carvers might think they are doing the local animals groups a kindness, leaving your leftover jack-o’-lantern in the woodland is actually doing more harm than good.

“A myth seems to have built up that leaving pumpkins in woods helps wildlife, but behind it are many hidden issues.” said Paul Bunton, engagement and communication officer at The Woodland Trust, according to The Telegraph.

One of the main issues is that the leftover of the Halloween pumpkins are often eaten by already struggling hedgehogs(刺猬). In early November, hedgehogs are looking to gain as much weight as possible to survive their winter hibernation. However, eating pumpkin is harmful to their little hedgehog stomachs, leading to diarrhea and dehydration. This means they may struggle to put on weight, and in some cases can even be fatal.

Moreover, leftover Halloween pumpkins can contain candles and plastic decorations which can also be fatal to wildlife if mistakenly eaten. The rotting leftover can also attract less popular wildlife, such as rats, to an area. According to The Woodland Trust, the additional nutrients in the pumpkins can negatively affect the soil balance as well. “Pumpkin flesh can have a really harmful effect on woodland soils,plants, and fungi(真菌),” Bunton pointed out.

So what should you do with your beautifully carved pumpkin creation after October 31? Most experts recommend composting (堆肥) it yourself at home if you can, or asking if a local farm will accept it as a donation. You could even try some scientific experiments to produce more energy from the throw-away wasted. Either way, the hedgehogs will thank vou.

【1】What does the underlined word “discarded” mean in paragraph 1?

A．Processed.

B．Recycled.

C．Deserted.

D．Preserved.

【2】Why do hedgehogs try to eat so many pumpkins in early November?

A．To enjoy the sweet food.

B．To fill their stomachs.

C．To prepare for the winter.

D．To improve their health.

【3】What is paragraph 4 mainly about?

A．The additional nutrients in the leftover pumpkins.

B．The damages of candles and plastic in the pumpkins.

C．The attraction of the rotting leftovers to some wildlife.

D．Further explanation of the effect of leftover pumpkins.

【4】What are people advised to do with the leftover pumpkins after Halloween?.

A．Stop leaving your pumpkins in the woods.

B．Keep your beautiful pumpkin creations at home.

C．Feed the hedgehogs with the leftover pumpkins.

D．Bury the pumpkins leftover deep under the ground.

22、   As cities around the world try to be smart, some have become stupid instead.

So, what is a “stupid city”? It is a city that gives in to urban sprawl( 扩张), with people moving from central areas to less-crowded communities, said Mr. Nicholas You, a director of the Guangzhou Institute for Urban Innovation in China. Such communities are heavily reliant on cars.

Another problem Mr. You stressed is that public administration bodies in “stupid cities’’ tend to work alone, refusing to share data that could help develop solutions to urban problems. He made the point during a discussion on urban transformation in Asia, saying, “A real smart city is one that looks at everything as a whole—you can’t look at water issues without looking at energy.”

A South Korean member, Mr. Jong Sung Hwang, suggested that some of the biggest barriers to creating a smart city are cultural. South Korean society is less forgiving of mistakes, noted Mr. Jong. For example, some in Seoul tried to push for an intelligent traffic system but were met with resistance from the police. He said, “We have ideas, data and even money, but we could not make it happen.”

India, however, is not adopting a one-size-fits-all approach to create smart cities for its 1.3 billion people, said a member from India.

In Singapore, which launched its Smart Nation initiative( 行动 ) in 2014, the authorities fear that technology can worsen the divide between the haves and the have-nots, said Dr. Limin Hee, director for research at the Centre for Liveable Cities here. “Thankfully, many cities are considering such issues as how to make better use of data and technology to create smart cities,” she added.

【1】What can we learn about a smart city?

A．It encourages urban expansion.

B．It has few people in its central areas.

C．It solves urban problems by sharing data.

D．It treats every issue as a separate unit.

【2】Why is it impossible to push an intelligent traffic system in Seoul?

A．People are tolerant of mistakes.

B．The police are afraid of making mistakes.

C．The government is lacking enough money.

D．The traffic system in Seoul is very advanced.

【3】What problem might India face when creating smart cities?

A．Its population is decreasing.

B．It has no examples to follow.

C．It fails to adopt a universally right system.

D．It lacks advanced technologies.

【4】What do Singaporean authorities worry about the technology?

A．The disapproval of the public.

B．More money spent than expected.

C．The development of cities being limited.

D．The increasing gap between the rich and the poor.

23、Russ Gremel, now 98 years old, decided it was time to donate $2 million to the Illinois Audubon Society, a charity to purchase nearly 400 acres of land for wildlife protection. Gremel was able to make this amazing donation because he purchased $1,000 worth of Walgreens stock seven decades ago whose value has grown recently.

“A single man with no kids, Gremel has lived in the same Chicago house for 95 years, and has always lived simply”, neighbor Patrick Falso told TODAY. Falso said he heard Gremel say many times the “money wasn’t mine to begin with” and that he always intended to give it away.

The Gremel Wildlife shelter was founded on June 4. Illinois Audubon Society president Jim Herkert said Gremel’s donation was extremely generous. “It’s allowing us to protect a really valuable and important possession and realize one of Gremel’s wishes that we could find a place where people could come out and experience nature the way he did as a kid,” Herkert told TODAY.

After doing all this, this past weekend, Gremel adopted an old Chihuahua（吉娃娃犬）. Winnie the dog was picked up as a homeless dog several months ago. She suffered from a kind of cancer, which was treated—and all she needed was a loving home, which Colleen Collins, the founder of Perfect Pooches Adoption Agency, was determined to find.

Gremel had lost his own beloved Chihuahua earlier this year. When he reached out to Collins about Winnie, she felt this could be a good match. That feeling grew when she brought Winnie to his house for a meet and greet, and Winnie was introduced not only to Gremel but also some of his friends and neighbors. One had brought over a lot of fresh strawberries; all said they’d be there to help out in any way needed.

【1】Patrick Falso is mentioned in the text mainly to explain _________.

A．how Gremel earned the money

B．what kind of person Gremel is

C．why Gremel made the donation

D．where Gremel has been living

【2】What can we learn about Russ Gremel from the text?

A．He raised many pet dogs in his life.

B．He bought Walgreens stock at age 28.

C．He adopted a young Chihuahua recently.

D．He volunteered in wildlife shelters regularly.

【3】What can we infer about Gremel’s neighbors from the text?

A．They live in harmony with animals.

B．They are impressed with dog Winnie.

C．They lead a healthy and wealthy life.

D．They are caring and kind to each other.

24、An exhibition of 125 life-size elephant sculptures has gone on display in London to highlight the need for coexistence between people and wildlife.

Organized by conservation groups Elephant Family and The Real Elephant Collective, the exhibition comes as a herd of wild Asian elephants roaming Southwest China’s Yunnan Province has drawn global attention. Elephant Family said it would like to see more strategies in place that allow elephants to migrate, eat, and do their best to fit into strange landscapes in a way that is safe for both people and wild animals.

The CoExistence exhibition is on display at Green Park, St James’s Park and Berkeley Square after the sculptures were initially placed outside Buckingham Palace in May. CoExistence is an environmental art exhibition by Elephant Family and The Real Elephant Collective. The elephants have been created deep in the jungles by indigenous (土生土长的) communities who live close to their real-life counterparts. Here, people and elephants coexist in denser (更密集的) populations than anywhere ese in the world.

The founder of The Real Elephant Collective, a nonprofit organization contributing to protecting elephants, said, “Our best guess is that elephants are very intelligent and have learned that humans grow lots of nutritious food. Elephants move over long distances and explore their environment, as their ancestors have always done. Coexistence is about negotiating this sharing of space.”

When many parts of the world went into lockdown to help control the spread of the novel coronavirus, researchers found wildlife thrived (茁壮成长) in the wake of reduced human activity. “A global reduction in human activity has had a positive effect on wildlife around the world,” Elephant Family said. “It has now been scientifically demonstrated that the moment we lighten our footprint, wildlife thrives and transforms the health of the planet for all. The COVID-19 pandemic has showed us that coexistence with wildlife is very much possible.”

After the exhibition, the sculptures will go on sale for between 6, 000 pounds (US $ 8,346) for a calf and 30,000 pounds for a large adult, Money raised will be directed toward some grassroots organizations working on peaceful coexistence.

【1】What’s the aim of the CoExistence exhibition?

A．To attract visitors to London.

B．To raise money for protecting elephants.

C．To encourage people to live in harmony with wildlife.

D．To honour the elephants roaming in Yunan Province, China.

【2】What can be inferred from the founder’s words in paragraph 4?

A．Elephants cause no harm to humans.

B．Elephants are almost as intelligent as humans.

C．Humans and elephants are fighting for more space.

D．The coexistence between humans and elephants needs efforts.

【3】What can we learn from this passage?

A．The COVID-19 pandemic has no effect on wildlife.

B．Fewer human activities are favorable to wildlife.

C．People should try to avoid contact with wildlife.

D．The exhibition can earn money for wildlife preservation.

【4】What is the best title for this text?

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

There were two brothers who lived on neighboring farms and fell into conflict. It was the first serious disharmony in 40 years of farming.

The two brothers had been living in harmony with each one, side by side, sharing machinery, and trading labor and goods as needed, without any conflict. Then the long cooperation fell apart. It began with a small misunderstanding and it grew into a major difference. Finally it exploded into an exchange of bitter words followed by weeks of silence.

One morning there was a knock on John’s door. He opened it to find a man with a carpenter’s toolbox. “I’m looking for a few days’ work,” he said, “Perhaps you would have a few small jobs here and there. Could I help you?”

“Yes,” said the older brother, “I do have a job for you. Look across the small river at that farm. That’s my neighbor. In fact, it’s my younger brother. Last week there was a grassland between us and he took his bulldozers(推土机) to the river bank and now there is a small river between us. Well, he may have done this to annoy me on purpose, but I’ll get him one better. See that pile of wood beside the barn(谷仓)? I want you to build me a fence, an 8-foot-high fence, so I won’t need to see his place anymore. Cool him down, anyhow.”

The carpenter said, “I think I understand the situation. Show me the nails and the post-hole digger and I’ll be able to do a job that pleases you.”

The older brother had to go to town for supplies, so he helped the carpenter get the materials ready and then he was off for the day. The carpenter worked hard all that day measuring, sawing(锯), nailing. About sunset when the farmer returned, the carpenter had just finished his job. The farmer’s eyes opened wide and his jaw dropped.

注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

There was no fence there at all.
