21、   Ecology is a complicated thing. c Given the facts that elephant damage often kills trees and bush fires often kill trees, a combination of the two will make things worse. However, as research shows just published in Biotropica, by Benjamin Wigley of Nelson Mandela University, if a tree has already been damaged, fire can actually help to make things better.

Since 1954，the Kruger National Park has been the site of experiments. Dr Wigley carried out these experiments by looking at trees in three different zones. In one of these zones, the vegetation (植被) was burned every year. In the second it was burned every other year. The third zone, by contrast, was actively protected from fire. To keep things consistent, he only looked at the fate of a single tree species, the marula (玛鲁拉树), whose bark is often eaten by elephants. In July 2016, he and his colleagues identified 20 marulas in every zone and used a hammer and a knife to remove a 5 cm circular section of bark from each of them.

To their surprise, damaged trees in the annual burnt zone regrew 98% of their lost bark during the two years of the study. Those living in the second burnt zone regrew 92% of it. But those in the zone where fires were banned regrew only 72%.

The researchers also found something else around the trees' wounds: ants. Ten of the 20 trees in the fire-banned zone developed ant colonies in their wounds. The ants were known to damage tissue healing. By contrast, only five trees in the second zone and three in the annual zone developed ants' nests in their wounds.

It looks, therefore, as if bush fires are burning trees'。wounds to kill the ants. Though such fires are surely harmful to healthy trees, it seems, in an example of two negatives making a positive, as if they are actually helpful to sick ones.

【1】What is the finding of the research?

A.More fire does good to trees. B.Fire makes damaged trees. grow better.

C.Ants always help trees gr8w well. D.Elephants often damage tree barks.

【2】What do we know about the experiments?

A.They were finished in one year.

B.They were carried out in different parks.

C.The damaged trees grew well as other trees.

D.The trees chosen had been damaged by the researchers.

【3】Why did the author mention ants in the last two paragraphs?

A.To prove that ants are bad animals.

B.To show the benefit fire brings to damaged trees.

C.To express how ants influence trees' growth.

D.To introduce the role ants play in ecology.

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

A.Is Fire Totally Bad for Trees2 B.How does Fire Destroy the Trees?

C.The Balance of Trees and Ants D.Trees, Animals and Disasters

23、Scientists can’t predict earthquakes. But toads(蟾蜍)might be able to.

In the spring of 2010, Rachel Grant, a researcher in life sciences, was studying a population of toads in a large dry lake in central Italy. Common toads reproduce once a year, sometimes traveling great distances to gather at their breeding(繁殖)grounds, and Grant was looking at whether her subjects were using the cycles of the moon to coordinate their romantic encounters.

In the previous three years, she had watched the toads increase in number when the moon grew from new to full. But that year was different. The moon became almost full, and suddenly the toads were gone. “It went from there being 90 to 100 toads down to six, and then to one, and then zero,” says Grant.

“I was at a loss. Did somebody come and disturb them? Did somebody run through with a tractor? But that didn’t seem right. Toads get run over by cars all the time, and that doesn’t make them run away,” she says.

Five days after the toads disappeared, she had a possible answer: an earthquake struck in the middle of the night. The 6. 3-magnitude quake was the deadliest to hit Italy in nearly 30 years, killing roughly 300 people and leaving tens of thousands homeless.

Grant stayed to count her toads in spite of the aftershocks. When a full moon rose three days after the quake, a few toads risked a return. But then their numbers dropped again, remaining low until two days after the last aftershock-a full 10 days after the first quake. “It’s never been reported to have happened before,” says Grant. “Once they’re breeding, then they’re breeding. That’s it. “

The question now, says Grant, is whether seismologists(地震学家)can do anything with her research to try to predict the next big one. “A lot of people are asking, “Can we use them as a kind of monitoring tool, keep one at home and watch to see if they run away? “ says Grant. “That’s obviously not going to work. “ But she’s hoping something might.

【3】What does Grant really mean by stating “I was at a loss”？

A．She felt sorry for the toads.

B．She felt puzzled at what she saw.

C．She felt fearful about the earthquake.

D．She felt sad about what somebody had done.

【4】When did the number of toads begin to increase after the earthquake?

A．When the moon began to rise.

B．After the aftershocks stopped.

C．Two days after the earthquake.

D．Three days after the moon became full.

24、Nowadays, video gaming has made impressive gains in the field of standardized competition. One of the fashionable debates is whether competitive video games are sports or not. If cyberathletes are competing against formal teams in a formal environment, with real titles and monetary stakes on the line, it seems strange not to consider the activity a sport. However, unless something technologically odd gains complete control over our world in the next few decades, they never should be. Cyberathletes and eSports aren’t incomparable to traditional athletes and sports because they require less physical exertion or dedication. They are incomparable because they are different from traditional sports in a number of ways.

Traditional sports are steadfast, and consistent in their structures and mechanics. A professional American football player from any past decade could be transplanted into a current football field, and would only have to be told of a few minor rule changes. The player would know what to do, where to go, and how to accomplish the ultimate goal. He may need to learn a few new plays, but it’s fundamentally the same game. However, competitive video gaming has a variety of goals, and those goals are fluid and dynamic. A competitive video gamer from decades past might be aware of the final goal (winning the game, capturing the flag, eliminating the opposing team, etc.), but the execution (执行方式) would be completely foreign. Controls change, maps change, locations change, even the minute rules are adjusted on a regular basis. As a competitive video gamer, one needs to adapt to a much more aggressive ruleset than most sports or other games. Therefore the video game competitions are less likely to be properly regulated.

Most traditional sports are approachable by Everyman, even the esoteric(深奥的) ones, at least in an educational setting, where budgets and funding are set for them. While home computers are widely accessible, a large percentage of the gaming population is unable to participate in competitive gaming due to the high-standard computing requirements. Even decade-old competitive games like Counter-Strike 1.6 require more equipment and gear than most traditional sports. A pick-up game of basketball, football, or soccer is far more accessible than a pick-up game of Counter-Strike.

Traditional sports are embedded in our culture for good reasons: they offer an entertaining diversion and a great form of physical activity for millions of worldwide fans. The principles and lessons gleaned from traditional sports emphasize teamwork, collaboration, and critical evaluations of any given game setting. While many of these lessons are applicable to competitive gaming, competitive video gamers are still distancing themselves from competing for “sport” status, when their pastime and trade is so fundamentally different and ever-changing at such a regular pace.

【1】What is the author’s opinion towards competitive video games?

A．They can be seen as sports due to their emphasis on teamwork.

B．They can be seen as sports due to their standardized regulations.

C．They can not be seen as sports due to their lack of physical and mental efforts.

D．They can not be seen as sports due to the inconsistent rules and high requirements.

【2】What does the underlined word “foreign” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A．Difficult.

B．Common.

C．Typical.

D．Different.

【3】Why does the author mention Counter-Strike in Paragraph 3?

A．To explain the reason why eSports surpass traditional sports.

B．To explore the possibility that competitive video games will be sports.

C．To provide an example of the difference between eSports and traditional sports.

D．To account for the fact that the competitive features of video games are impressive.

【4】How does the author develop his idea?

A．By quoting and citing.

B．By listing and analyzing.

C．By comparison and contrast.

D．By explaining and evaluating.

25、Some of the world's most famous musicians recently gathered in Paris and New Orleans to celebrate the first annual International Jazz Day. UNESCO(United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) recently_______ April 30 as a day to raise awareness of jazz music, its significance, and its potential as a unifying (联合) voice_______ cultures.

Despite the celebrations,_______, in the U.S. the jazz audience continues to_______ and grow older, and the music has failed to connect with_______ generations.

It's Jason Moran's job to help change that. As the Kennedy Center's artistic_______for jazz, Moran hopes to_______the audience for jazz, make the music more_________, and preserve its history and culture.

'Jazz seems like it's not really a part of the American_______,' Moran tells National Public Radio. 'What I’m hoping to accomplish is that my generation and younger start to________ and understand that jazz is not black and white anymore. It's actually________, and it's actually digital. '

Moran says one of the________ with jazz today is that the entertainment aspect of the music has been lost. 'The music can't be________today the way it was in 1908 or 1958. It has to continue to move, because the way the world works is________,' says Moran.

Last year, Moran worked on a project that________ Fats Waller’s music for a dance party, 'just to kind of put it back in the mind that Waller is dance music________it is concert music, 'says Moran. 'For me, it's the recontextualization (情景重构). In music, where does the________lie? Are we, as humans, gaining any________ into how we talk about ourselves and________something as abstract as a Charlie Parker record gets us into a dialogue about our emotions and our thoughts? Sometimes we lose sight that the music has a wider context, ' says Moran, 'so I want to continue those________.'
