21、   All Ric O Barry wants is to stop the dolphin-killing, so he is headed to this seaside Japanese town, Taiji. The American activist, who is the star of a new award-winning documentary that portrays the dolphin-killing here, got an unwelcome reception when he showed up here this week for the start of the annual hunt.

His movie, The Cove (海豚湾 ), directed by National Geographic photographer Louie Psihoyos, was released in the United States a month ago but has not yet to come out in Japan.

Scenes in the film, some of which were shot secretly, show fishermen banging on metal poles stuck in the water to create a wall of sound that scares the dolphins — which have supersensitive sonar (声纳系统) — and sends them fleeing into a cove.

There, the fishermen sometimes pick a few to be sold for aquarium shows, for as much as $150, 000. They kill the others, spearing the animals repeatedly until the water turns red. The meat from one dolphin is worth about 50, 000 yen, and is sold at supermarkets across Japan.

Greenpeace and other groups have tried to stop the hunt for years. Activists hope The Cove will bring the issue to more people internationally—and eventually in Japan.

Already, the Australian town of Broome dropped its 28-year sister-city relationship with Taiji last month, partly because of the movie.

“Some regions have a tradition of eating dolphin meat,” said fisheries official Toshinori Uoya. “Dolphin-killing may be negative for our international image, but it is not something orders can stop.”

The town government in Taiji — which has made whales and dolphins its trademark — refused to comment about The Cove, or the growing international criticism against dolphin-killing.

Many in Taiji take the dolphin hunt for granted as part of everyday life. They are defensive about The Cove, seeing themselves as powerless victims of overseas pressure to end a simple and honest way of making a living.

【1】Ric O Barry made The Cove because he wanted to________ .

A.support Greenpeace's efforts B.win an international award

C.stop the dolphin-killing D.make Taiji well-known in the world

【2】Viewers can learn from The Cove _______.

A.the cruel and bloody dolphin-killing

B.the beautiful Japanese seaside town Taiji

C.the sale of dolphin meat around the world

D.the advanced techniques to catch dolphins

【3】What is the response to The Cove on the Japanese side?

A.Japanese officials decided to ban dolphin-killing.

B.Taiji broke up with its western sister-city Broome.

C.The town government in Taiji kept silent on criticism.

D.Most Japanese people were against eating dolphin meat.

【4】What does the underlined word “defensive” probably mean?

A.Feeling guilty for killing dolphins.

B.Making the determination to change.

C.Attacking those against dolphin-killing.

D.Protecting themselves against criticism.

【5】What can we infer from the passage?

A.The Cove has not influenced Japan's international image.

B.Many people in Japan have seen The Cove in the cinema.

C.Taiji's dolphin-killing industry has been seriously damaged.

D.The Cove has brought international attention to dolphin-killing.

22、Sometimes maybe you take vitamins to support brain function, or stock up on foods that promote brain health. But new guidelines (指南) from the American Academy of Neurology suggest there are better things you can do to keep your mind sharp.

According to the AAN, one in four adults between the ages of 80 and 84 have mild cognitive impairment. To address this wide-spread problem, a group of neurologists and Alzheimer’s (阿尔兹海默症的) experts went through existing research to determine the best ways to prevent and treat cognitive decline----and you might be surprised by what they included and what they didn’t.

Surprisingly, the AAN guidelines do not include any medication(药物) or dietary recommendations. The authors stress that no high-quality long-term studies finding that food or drugs can help with cognitive decline. The guidelines also say doctors may consider recommending cognitive training to patients with memory loss, but not to rely on it. So far, the report’s authors say the evidence is too inconclusive to say for sure if brain exercises, like memory and attention training or problem solving for everyday issues associated with memory loss, are beneficial. Still, these morning brain exercises can’t do any harm.

But there was one big discovery from the new guidelines: exercising just twice a week could improve cognitive decline. One study showed adults with mild cognitive impairment who did resistance training twice a week scored better on executive function and associative(联想的) memory tests than a group that worked on balancing, stretching, and relaxing.

What’s more, another study had older adults attend either biweekly health classes or sessions of aerobics, strength training balance exercises, and multitasking training. Six months later, the ones who’d exercised regularly scored better on cognitive health and memory tests, plus had less brain shrinkage.

The AAN now recommends that doctors tell patients with memory loss to exercise twice a week to keep their minds clear. If you want to improve your memory, this is the best time to exercise. It looks like you’ve got just one more reason to clear time in your schedule for a workout---even if it’s only on the weekends.

【1】What does the underlined word “impairment” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A．Decline.

B．Error.

C．Development.

D．Presence

【2】ANN may be uncertain about__________.

A．strength training

B．resistance training

C．brain exercise

D．exercises twice a week

【3】Which of the following may the author agree with?

A．Patients with memory loss can rely on cognitive training.

B．Stocking up on vitamins supporting brainpower means nothing.

C．Medication is of significance in the AAN guidelines.

D．The AAN guidelines attach importance to exercise.

【4】In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?

A．Exercise.

B．Entertainment.

C．Health.

D．Science.

23、The king was to pass by a beggar’s small poor house and the man was excited, not because he was about to see the king but because the king was known to part with expensive jewels and huge sums of money when moved by sympathy.

He saw the king’s carriage just when a kind man was filling his begging bowl with uncooked rice. Pushing the man aside, he ran into the street, shouting praises of the king and the royal family.

The carriage stopped and the king beckoned to the beggar.

“Who are you?” he asked. “One of the most unfortunate of your people,” said the beggar. “Poverty sits on my doorstep and follows me about like a dog. I haven’t eaten since yesterday afternoon!” “Have you nothing for your king except great sorrow?” said the ruler, putting out his hand. “Give me something.” The beggar, astonished, carefully picked up 5 grains of rice from his bowl and laid them on the king’s outstretched palm. The king drove away. The beggar’s disappointment was great. He complained and cursed the king again and again for his miserliness.

When he returned home in the evening he found a bag of rice on the floor. “Some generous soul has been here,” he thought and took out a handful of rice from the bag. To his astonishment, there was a small piece of gold in it. He realized then that the bag had been sent by the king. He emptied the rice on the floor, feeling sure there would be more gold pieces in it, and he was right. He found 5, one for each grain of rice he had given the king.

“It is not the king who has been miserly,” thought the man, sadly. “If I had been generous and given him the whole bowl of rice, I would have been a rich man today.”

【1】From the passage, we know that the king___________.

A. was a kind man B. was arrogant

C. was a miserly man D. was very young

【2】Why did the king ask the beggar for something according to the text?

A. Because he was poor than the beggar.

B. Because he wanted to make the beggar even poorer.

C. Because he had nothing to eat.

D. Because he wanted to give something to the beggar in return.

【3】The real reason why the beggar got only five gold pieces is that________.

A. he complained and cursed the king again and again

B. the king was only generous to rich people

C. the king wanted to punish him severely

D. he himself was miserly

24、Growing strawberries in pots

·The best way to start growing strawberries is to buy pot-grown strawberry plants in spring：5 plants are plenty for a hanging basket and 10 for the average 13 inch-sized pot．

·Plant them immediately in soil-based compost（混合肥料） and they will produce a modest crop in their first year．The second year should see a bumper（特大的）crop，followed by a slightly lower yield（产量）the third summer．Then start again with fresh stock ．

·Careful watering and feeding are essential If you are to harvest a good crop，you must never let the compost dry out, particularly when the fruit is forming and ripening；if you do．most of your crop will drop off血e bush almost immediately．

·Water well then leave the pots for up to 3 weeks，until they reach the point of drying out be careful not to overwater them during the winter months．

Pruning apple trees

·A one-year-old tree is known as a “maiden”．It has a single stem when purchased．Immediately after planting, cut it back by about half to leave 4 good buds at the base of the stem．This will force growth from the base or the plant during the summer．

·In the second year ,prune in winter by cutting all side branches back by about one-third, Make sure each cut is made cleanly just above an outward-facing bud．In the third and fourth years, new side branches will have emerged from the previous year’s growth．Cut back all these new side branches by a third, pruning to an outward-facing bud．

·By the fifth year the tree should have a well-balanced shape．From then on ,cut back all new branches by one-third in winter．Remove any diseased wood and broken branches, and ensure the centre is open to air circulation
