21、Top experts in the field of geology can be found working at the United States Geological Survey (USGS). Their web page on earthquake prediction starts: “Neither the USGS nor any other scientific institution has ever predicted a major earthquake. We do not know how to do so, nor do we expect to know how to do so, anytime in the foreseeable future.” If we can predict hurricanes, floods and tornadoes to different degrees of reliability, why can’t we predict when the next big earthquake will likely happen? What else can scientists do if they are so difficult to predict?

An effective earthquake prediction includes four components: the date, time, location, and the magnitude. To determine how a possible early warning sign translates into these factors requires scientists to either look for patterns in previous earthquakes or create complicated mathematical models of the movement of known tectonic plates (地壳结构版块).

For the first case, scientists have attempted to link multiple natural factors that appeared before earthquakes in the past with the earthquake itself. These factors include rising levels of ground water, changes in electromagnetic activity, and even unusual animal behaviors.

However, even if scientists can draw connections between these changes in nature and earthquakes, very little evidence has been collected to suggest that one event must happen alongside another. Another difficulty is that small earthquakes and large ones start exactly the same way. Thus, there is no simple solution to identifying whether an early warning sign predicts a major, destructive quake or a tiny tremble. Without enough evidence, scientists may instead attempt to model specific fault lines (断层线). However, this is incredibly challenging, given the difficulty in studying how rocks and minerals behave at the increased temperatures and pressures toward the Earth’s core. Even though geologists have drilled deep holes to study the conditions, such efforts are expensive and not at all easy to accomplish.

【1】According to the passage, which may help predict earthquakes?

A．River water.

B．Close observations.

C．Movement of any plate.

D．Strange activities of dogs.

【2】What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A．Studying rocks is full of challenge.

B．Natural changes don’t affect each other.

C．Scientific models are expensive to build.

D．Early warning signs don’t imply earthquakes’ strength.

【3】How does the passage develop?

A．By making contrast.

B．By analyzing reasons.

C．By describing the process.

D．By giving specific examples.

【4】What is the purpose of the passage?

A．To inform readers of earthquake prediction limitations.

B．To argue against a popular scientific belief.

C．To explore how to forecast earthquakes.

D．To compare models of earthquake study.

22、   Nobel, who was born in Stockholm, is a great scientist famous for his dangerous experiments.

Nobel studied in the USA and then Russia between 1850 and 1859. 【1】 As is known, bomb is dangerous to life, but Nobel was working under that condition. Once a big explosion in his lab completely destroyed the lab and caused some deaths. 【2】 He received criticism and satire, but he proceeded with the work rather than losing heart. From 1860s to 1880s, Nobel made many achievements and his inventions were first used in building roads and digging tunnels. Most of the bombs were safer and more possible to be controlled. Even at the end of the 20th century, we still used his methods.

【3】 He was quick to see industrial openings for his scientific inventions and built up over 80 companies in 20 different countries. Indeed his greatness lay in his outstanding ability to combine the qualities of an original scientist with those of a forward-looking industrialist.

【4】 Seldom happy, he was always searching for a meaning to life, and from his youth, he had taken a serious interest in literature and philosophy. His greatest wish, however, was to see an end to wars, and thus peace between nations, and he spent much time and money working for this cause. To follow his will, a fund was set up to encourage people to make great progress in physics, chemistry, physiology, medicine, literature and peace. 【5】

A．After his return, he started researching into bombs.

B．After that he had to experiment on a boat in a lake.

C．Everyone knows the story of his famous invention.

D．That's the Nobel Prize which means great honor to a scientist.

E．Nobel had many patents in Britain and other European countries.

F．Most of his theories have been tested and found to be true though some may sound strange.

G．But Nobel's main concern was never with making money or even with making scientific discoveries.

23、   When it comes to the most refreshing Chinese YouTube figure, most people think of Li Ziqi, a Chinese vlogger whose videos focus on the beautiful scenery and the rural life in the Chinese countryside. With more than 7.5 million subscribers on YouTube, Li also has more than 1.9 million likes, and close to 3 million followers on her Facebook page. Experts from China claim that Li Ziqi is a better advocate for Chinese culture than the country's state media.

24、Today, many species of animals and plants are endangered. This means they are in danger of becoming extinct and living on only in the pages of history books. The famous dodo is a classic example of a creature that became extinct. A flightless bird that lived on the island of Mauritius, it was discovered by sailors in 1598 but was hunted to extinction by 1681.

Hunting has caused the Bengal tiger and the African elephant to be endangered today but habitat destruction can also lead to extinction. This is equally true for plants. Animals and plants disappear for other reasons too, but the main cause is often a disruption（打乱，破坏） in the natural food chain, whether due to hunting, habitat destruction, or even the introduction of alien species.

The natural food chain is the cycle that governs the existence of all life on this planet. It is a carefully balanced cycle and any imbalance that occurs can cause knock-on effects that have serious consequences. At the beginning of the natural food chain are plants which turn sunlight into energy and draw nutrients from the earth. Plants are called producers.

After the producers come the consumers. There are three tiers of consumers. First are creatures such as plant-eating animals, fish and insects which feed off the producers. These animals that only eat plants are called herbivores. The second tier of consumers are carnivores - animals that live off other animals. The third tier of consumers eats both other animals and plants. These consumers, including most humans, are called omnivores.

After animals and plants die, they become food for other smaller creatures, such as bacteria and some plants, such as fungi. As they feed, these creatures turn the dead bodies back into gases and minerals which are again food for the producers at the beginning of the food chain. And so the cycle continues.

All of nature is connected and governed by hundreds of these delicate food chains and if a single plant in the chain cannot survive, then the insects that live off the plant start to die and the animals that eat the insects also start to die.

When a food chain is disrupted, the consequences can be extremely serious. One estimate suggests that for each plant species that is lost, up to 30 animals and insects may also die out. One wonders how many species were affected by the extinction of the dodo?

Humans can have disastrous effects on food chains. We've already mentioned hunting but now let's look at travel. When people first started to explore the world they took plant and animal species from their home countries and introduced them wherever they went. They didn't realize that by introducing alien species they were disrupting the natural food chains of the areas they discovered. Although there are strict rules in place today controlling the import and export of alien species, some places are still fighting the effects of aliens introduced hundreds of years ago.

For example, Gough Island in the South Atlantic Ocean is a breeding ground for albatrosses that have been nesting there for centuries. But in the 19th century, mice from passing ships were brought to the island. Being a species alien to the island, they had no natural predators and have now grown to such a size that they are attacking and killing albatross chicks. If they are allowed to continue, they will wipe out the albatross population.

With import laws and people's rising awareness of how humans affect the natural environment, hopefully we can learn to fit better into the natural food chains that govern our world. Otherwise we need to accept that the loss of any more plants and animals could eventually mean our own extinction.

【1】What do the first two paragraphs mainly tell us?

A. Hunting and habitat destruction lead to extinction.

B. Many species of animals and plants are endangered.

C. Plants and animals become extinct for the same reasons.

D. The main cause of extinction is often a disruption in the natural food chain.

【2】Which of the following sentence is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Strict rules alone can remove the bad effects of alien species.

B. Plants, herbivores and carnivores are the three tiers of consumers.

C. If a bird becomes extinct, the relevant food chain will be disrupted.

D. Animals and plants become extinct because alien species are imported.

【3】By mentioning the mice in Gough Island, the author intends to highlight ______.

A. mice worldwide are growing all the time

B. being aliens, they had no natural predators

C. some places are still fighting the effects of aliens

D. traveling can have disastrous effects on food chains

【4】What is the best title of the passage?

A. Survival of the fittest.

B. Endangered animals and plants.

C. How to protect the natural environment.

D. The link between food chains and extinction.

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

My teacher gave us an assignment that should have been easy. “Okay, class,” he said. “For the month of November, we will turn this wall into our Thanksgiving art gallery. For tonight’s homework, I want you to create a picture of one thing you are thankful for, and we will hang it here.”

We were supposed to spend the last part of class of figuring out an idea for our “thankful” picture. But the more I try to think of the one perfect thing, the more panicked and puzzled I became! Finally the school bell rang and it was time to pack up and go.

“I am going to make a picture about fishing with my grandpa,” my friend Amy said as we walked home. “What about you?”

“For some reason, this project is making me nervous,” I told her. “What if I choose one person and everyone else feels left out?”

“It’s just a homework assignment.” said Amy. “Do you really think people will be offended?

“I don’t know,” I said, walking through the fallen leaves.

“Then why not just pick a random awesome thing instead?” suggest Amy.

“But I’m thankful for a billion random things,” I frowned, “How am I supposed to just choose one?”

“Just close your eyes!” said Amy. “You don’t know the ‘just close your eyes’ trick? It’s the best. You write down a bunch of choices on separate pieces of paper. Spread them out. Close your eyes, and pick one.”

“But what if I pick the wrong one?” I asked.

“That’s the whole point,” said Amy. “There’s no wrong one here. I will show you.”

I followed Amy across the street to a giant tree with eye-catching fallen leaves. So many leaves had fallen onto the grass that it looked like a rainbow-colored carpet. “Now go ahead and pick the very best leaf.” she jokingly challenged me.
