21、   Elephants have impressed us for centuries. They are big, clever, and sociable. But what if someone told you that they may also hold the key to fighting cancer (癌症)?

People have been wondering why elephants do not develop cancer, even though they have lifespans (寿命) that are similar to humans, living for around 50 to 70 years.

Now scientists believe they know why. A team at the University of Chicago, US has found that elephants carry a large number of genes that stop tumors (肿瘤) from developing. To be precise, they found 20 copies of an anti­tumor gene called TP53 in elephants. Most other species, including humans, only carry one copy.

According to the research, which was recently published on the online science network BioRxiv, the extra copies of the gene improved the animal's sensitivity to DNA damage. This lets the cells quickly kill themselves when damaged before they can go on to form deadly tumors.

“An increased risk of developing cancer has stood in the way of the evolution of large body sizes in many animals，” study author Dr. Vincent Lynch told The Guardian. If every living cell (细胞) has the same chance of becoming cancerous, large creatures with long lifespans like whales and elephants should have a greater risk of developing cancer than humans and mice do. But across species, the risk of cancer does not show a connection with body mass.

This_phenomenon was found by Oxford University scientist Richard Peto in the 1970s and later named “Peto's paradox”. Evolutionary (进化的) biologists believe it results from larger animals using protection that many smaller animals do not. In the elephant's case, the making of TP53 is nature's way of keeping this species alive.

The study also found that when the same genes were brought to life in mice, they had the same cancer resistance (抵抗) as elephants. This means researchers could use the discovery to develop new treatments that can help stop cancers from spreading or even developing in the first place.

“Nature has already figured out how to prevent cancer, ” said Joshua Schiffman, an oncologist at the School of Medicine, University of Utah, US.

“It's up to us to learn how different animals tackle (处理) the problem so we can use those strategies to prevent cancer in people.”

【1】Why are elephants unlikely to develop cancer?

A. They have a large body size.

B. Their genes suffer no DNA damage.

C. Certain genes in their body kill existing tumors.

D. They carry many genes that keep tumors from developing.

【2】According to Dr. Vincent Lynch, what has been a risk in the evolution of large animals?

A. A risk of deadly tumors. B. Human behavior.

C. Extreme weather. D. Cells killing themselves.

【3】What does the underlined expression “This phenomenon” in the sixth paragraph refer to?

A. Larger animals have protection from TP53.

B. The risk of cancer is not related to body size.

C. The larger animals are, the bigger risk of cancer they have.

D. Larger animals suffer the same risk of cancer as smaller ones do.

【4】We can conclude from the last three paragraphs that ________.

A. humans are expected to stop cancer in the near future

B. depending on nature is not enough to fight against cancer

C. this new treatment is more effective than the present ones

D. the TP53 genes have proven useful in stopping cancer in mice

22、A self-portrait of Vincent van Gogh winked at me: The Dutch painter’s life and Post-Impressionism art are the subjects of Beyond Van Gogh: The Immersive Experience. The interactive exhibition will continue touring through North and South America later.

The unique show was created in 2020 by Mathieu St-arnaud, the creative director of Normal Studio in Montreal, Canada, and his team of artists. The self-guided tour includes important moments in Van Gogh’s life, and more than 300 Van Gogh’s paintings were digitally reproduced and edited into a 35-minute film. The film is played repeatedly and is presented on a large digital landscape using 360°-projection (360度投影) technology.

“This showed me a new way to enjoy art. After all, not everyone can go to a museum that owns: a real Van Gogh’s painting,” said Samantha Kates, 14, who viewed the exhibition in Los Angeles. Like many visitors, Samantha was curious about the technology that allows viewers to “communicate” with Van Gogh. “There was a projector that was making all of these colors appear,” Samantha said. “They would also appear on my skin, and that really made me feel a part of the painting.”

11-year-old Abby Kates, who only knew The Starry Night before experiencing the exhibition in San Diego, found another benefit of the show. “My Beyond Van Gogh experience was different because I got to do yoga,” she said. “It was peaceful, and I got to think deeply and stay calm while enjoying the art. Now I became interested in this talent.”

“Yoga is really a process. It brings awareness to the present moment,” Michael Caldwell, a local yoga instructor, said. “Doing yoga in an environment like the Van Gogh show really helps you to focus on the constancy (恒定性) of change, which we can see through the exhibition with Van Gogh’ s progress over time. And seeing that process in ourselves, we can better appreciate it and know how to live our lives.”

【1】What’s unique about Beyond Van Gogh?

A．A team of creative artists work as guides for it.

B．Van Gogh’s works have been digitally recreated.

C．It holds special lectures on Post-Impressionism art.

D．It shows a 3D film based on Van Gogh’s life stories.

【2】What can visitors do at the exhibition according to the text?

A．Produce their own artworks.

B．Experience art in a realistic way.

C．Talk to famous artists face to face.

D．Get close to the real works of Van Gogh.

【3】Which may Caldwell agree with on doing yoga in the show?

A．It can greatly improve viewers’ yoga skills.

B．It can help create an artistic environment.

C．It encourages deep thinking on creativity.

D．It inspires viewers to reflect on themselves.

【4】What’s the best title for the text?

A．Van Gogh’s art still keeps pace with the age

B．A Van Gogh show is touring through the US

C．Using technology to bring Van Gogh’s art to life

D．Connecting visitors to great artists through yoga

23、Are you addicted to computer games? Do you stay up all night playing them? Do you feel happy after you play computer games?

There’s no doubt that the excitement and appealing of games these days makes them hard to put down. We are attracted by the choice when it comes to gaming: You can role play—creating your own fantasy characters and stories, giving you a chance to step out of everyday life into an imaginary world. And there are shooting games where you can let out your anger and depression in violent situations where you kill people with guns. You can get excited from the games.

However, can these kinds of games really be fun and can being absorbed in virtual reality be good for us? Should we worry about their effects on our health? Popular games like Grand Theft Auto have been blamed for everything from falling results at school to causing acts of extreme violence. Internet safety adviser, Alan MacKenzie, thinks “any people understandably will just think that a game is just a game and not realizing the exact content that’s in there”. He gives an example of the violence, which he says is “wholly inappropriate for anybody, not to mention children.”

Others will argue that gaming is a harmless form of entertainment. There is evidence that playing video games could actually be good for us. Some games like Game of Thrones and World of Warcraft are educational and using games certainly can help children learn good qualities. Studies have also shown that the skills used in playing games can cause growth in certain areas of the brain, the ability to think in 3D and even improve our eyesight.

Video game players are also no longer just simple creatures. For some, gaming is having a positive effect on their social lives with games like Halo and World of Warcraft often being played in groups. When your group works together to win the game, your sense of achievement is higher than when winning by yourself.

So every coin has two sides. It seems today, gaming isn’t just for game fans and if used in a proper way, we can all take part. If video games have two sides, what side do you stand by?

【1】The writer used a lot of questions at the beginning to _______.

A. show his worries about the effect on health

B. lead into the topic of the passage

C. ask the reader for their own opinions about games

D. doubt the advantage of playing computer games

【2】Paragraph 3 mainly talks about _______.

A. the contents of the game are complex

B. games contain extreme violence

C. popular games lead to students’ falling results at school

D. gaming is a harmful form of entertainment

【3】According to the passage, which of the following shows the good influence on social lives?

A. Han Meimei passed the exam after playing the games.

B. Li Hua leant many English words from playing games.

C. Sunyan worked well with his teammates

D. Yang Li let out his anger and expressions.

【4】In Paragraph 4, the author supports his idea _______.

A. by giving some examples

B. with descriptive words

C. by providing some numbers

D. with some research results

24、Sharon, Age 22

The most important thing to keep in mind when going into high school is to be yourself. Besides, I don't know what your middle school was like, but high school teacher will not care about things such as how much homework you already have in one night. It's best to just learn to deal with things and manage your time wisely so you can achieve everything you need to.

Frank, Aged 21

I think almost every kid feels both nervous and excited before their first day. You will probably love it. I did. You should join in some sports or activities that will make your high school experience more enjoyable. Good luck!

Eddie, Aged 20

When I started high school, I was really nervous too, especially since I had been homeschooled all through middle school and didn't really know anyone. I suppose the best advice would be to just relax. The first couple of days can be a little bit hard, but things will become easier before you know it.

David, Aged 19

I'm not going to lie. The first day is kind frightening. But you'll get used to it. Don't be afraid of anyone; upperclassmen will pick on you more if you let them know you’re afraid. Just take it easy. Making some friends and staying with them will greatly help you get used to high school quickly. After the first week it's really not bad at all. Don't worry.

A．Teachers are quite strict.

B．Students often stay up at night.

25、My daughter loved dance, until she didn’t. After an _________ first year, I noticed her interest fading week by week. Then, one day, she slowly walked to me before class and asked if she could just _________ it.

My first reaction was to _________ her to “finish what you start”. After all, sticking with something difficult can teach perseverance, discipline and confidence. But watching my first-grader _________ herself into each ballet position, I started to question how much sense that “blanket advice” made. Is it really in my kid’s best _________ , or even practical, to make her stick to every commitment through until she reaches a bitter _________? What if there are different but _________ valuable qualities, which can be gained by _________ the things that are not right for her?

With the winter show approaching, I realized she needed to either _________ her class or commit herself to it. After a few days’ consideration, she __________ dance wasn’t for her—a choice I __________. Quitting is never a black-and-white issue. Sometimes, it means __________ a barrier in your way to love something else. In my daughter’s case, ending dance made space for her new hobbies, such as horseback riding and Girl Scouts. She’s into them for now, but it is okay if that still changes.

As adults, we are accustomed to __________ the power of saying yes, but what about saying no? The ability to recognize when something isn’t an __________ investment of our time or energy is also Important. As my daughter gets older, I want her to feel confident to exit something that’s no longer meeting her needs. She shouldn’t be held back by the thought that she must finish something at any cost __________ because she has started.
