21、Many people have heard bee populations are declining due to such threats as pesticides(杀虫剂). And many understand bees are important to plant pollination(授粉). Yet, according to a study led by Utah State University ecologist Joseph Wilson, few are aware of the wide diversity of bees and other pollinators beyond such species as honeybees.

“The U.S. Postal Service recently put out its Protect Pollinator series, which features only the European honeybee and the monarch butterfly,” says Wilson, assistant professor of biology at USU’s Tooele campus. “A social media commenter observed that using these two species on a campaign to protect pollinators is similar to focusing on chickens to save birds. It’s a pretty good comparison, actually.”

Wilson, with colleagues Matthew Forister of the University of Nevada-Reno, published findings in the Sept. 5, 2017, online edition of Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment.

“In our recent survey, 99 percent of our respondents said bees are important, yet only 14 percent were able to guess within 1,000, the actual number of bee species in the United States,” he says. “Most people guessed around 50 species of bees, while the correct number is about 4,000 known species.” Further, when shown images of varied insects, many people were unable to distinguish bees from non-bees.

“A challenge with lack of knowledge about bees is you can’t protect what you’re now aware of,” Wilson says. “We could be losing species or causing decline and not even know it.”

Public education is key to encouraging conservation efforts, he says. “Because conservation efforts require substantial public support, it’s important that the public understand bees and what needs to be done to protect these species,” Wilson says. “Education is the key to understanding bee declines and protecting our pollinators.”

【1】According to the text, bees function as __________.

A. honey-makers

B. pest-killers

C. producers

D. pollinators

【2】What can we infer from Paragraph 2?

A. Wilson is in support of the Protect Pollinator series.

B. The commenter observed honeybees and butterflies.

C. People neglect many other pollinators.

D. Protecting chicken can help save birds.

【3】What does the underlined word “substantial” in the last paragraph mean?

A. legal.

B. large.

C. minimum.

D. slim.

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

A. Not Only Honeybees

C. Growing Threats to Bees

D. Newly Discovered Bee Species

22、For many people shopping is considered to be one of the favorite activities. For most of them it is just buying some new clothes or presents for close people. But there is another way for whom shopping is much more than just enjoyable activity, it is a real addiction that in many cases leads to a financial disaster, as well as it brings troubles to person’s life and family.

So why can shopping be so addictive? What are the possible signs to be aware of? And how is it possible to stop the need of spending?

“Some of the new evidence suggests that some people, maybe 10%-15%, may have a genetic preference to an addictive behavior, coupled with an environment in which the particular behavior is caused, but no one really knows why.”However, it is much better understood as to why “shopaholics” continue with their unhealthy and destructive behaviors. Individuals get pleasure from their addiction the same way as if they were under drugs.

And when is it really possible to determine whether simple shopping has crossed the border and has already turned into addiction?

Shopaholics go out and buy things much more often than other people do. They often buy things they do not need. Many shopping addicts go on shopping binges(放纵) all year long and may be forced to buy certain items, such as shoes, clothing or kitchen items. Some just will buy anything. Many times they will spend over their budget limits and get into deep financial trouble, spending well above their income. While someone else will think many times if they can afford this or that thing, shop addicts will not recognize the boundaries of a budget.

【1】We can learn from the 3rdparagraph that .

A. shopping addiction is mainly caused by genetic factors

B. shopping addicts are also addicted to drugs

C. the real cause of shopping addiction is known already

D. shopaholics can’t control their unhealthy and destructive behaviors

【2】The last paragraph is mainly about   .

A. the destructive behaviors of shopaholics

B. the early signs of shopping addiction

C. the problems of shopaholics

D. the binge of shopaholics

【3】What could be most probably discussed in the paragraph to follow the passage?

A. How to treat shopping addiction.

B. What really causes shopping addiction.

C. When shopping addiction takes place.

D. What kind of people can become shopping addicts.

【4】It can be inferred from the passage that   .

A. shopping addiction can’t cause serious problems

B. shopping addicts only want enjoyable activities through buying

C. it’s not a good idea to let a shopping addict pay by credit cards

D. shopping addiction can spread among different people

23、 I wondered if anyone had experienced such an unexpected trip as I had.

The day of my holiday arrived, but I wasn’t looking forward to it. I had little money and had only been able to afford to stay with my Aunt Rosa in Spain. So, I wasn’t really excited as I knew exactly what it was going to be like: lots of noisy cousins, and Aunt Rosa begging me to take her for a ride.

After I had checked in, I made my way slowly to the departure gate. As I was waiting to board the plane, I kept thinking about my ideal holiday destination: Jamaica, with its long, sandy beaches and crystal clear water.

As soon as the plane took off, I fell fast asleep and only woke to the sound of the announcement: “Ladies and gentlemen, please fasten your seat belts, as we will shortly be landing in Kingston.” I froze in my seat. Was I dreaming? Kingston? Jamaica? I had boarded the wrong plane!

Immediately after the plane landed, I explained the situation to the authorities. It seems there were also three other passengers heading for Spain. Apparently it had been the airline’s fault, since the flight numbers for Spain and Jamaica were exactly the same! Therefore, with no flight back to London for a week, the airline had no choice but to pay for our stay.

So there I was, lying on the beach, enjoying the music and the marvelous food of Jamaica! As for Aunt Rosa, I suppose she just had to live without me!

【1】Why did the writer choose to spend her holiday with her aunt in Spain?

A. She missed her cousins very much.

B. She could hardly afford any better trip.

C. Her aunt begged her to go there.

D. Spain was her ideal destination.

【2】In the text, the writer ended up _________.

A. flying to London immediately

B. heading for Spain from Jamaica

C. enjoying a free beach holiday

D. complaining to the authorities

【3】Which of the following might be the best title of the text?

A. A Well-Planned Trip B. A Terrible Adventure

C. A Nice Dream     D. A Lucky Mistake

24、   Walk through the Amazon rainforest today and you will find it is steamy,warm,damp and thick.But if you had been around 15,000 years ago,during the last ice age,would it have been the same?For more than 30 years,scientists have been arguing about how rainforests like the Amazon might have reacted to the cold,dry climates of the ice ages, but until now,no one has reached a satisfying answer.

Rainforests like the Amazon are important for mopping up CO2 from the atmosphere and helping to slow global warming.Currently the trees in the Amazon take in around 500 million tons of CO2 each year: equal to the total amount of CO2 giving off in the UK each year.But how will the Amazon react to future climate change?If it gets drier, will it still survive and continue to draw down CO2 ?

Scientists hope that they will be able to learn in advance how the rainforest will manage in the future by understanding how rainforests reacted to climate change in the past.Unfortunately,getting into the Amazon rainforest and collecting information are very difficult.To study past climate,scientists need to look at fossilized pollen,kept in lake mud.Going back to the last ice age means drilling deep down into lake sediments（沉淀物）which requires specialized equipment and heavy machinery.There are very few roads and paths,or places to land helicopters and aeroplanes.Rivers tend to be the easiest way to enter the forest,but this still leaves vast areas between the rivers completely unsampled（未取样）.So far,only a handful of cores have been drilled that go back to the last ice age and none of them provide enough information to prove how the Amazon rainforest reacts to climate change.

【1】What does the underlined phrase “mopping up” in the second paragraph mean?

A. Giving up B. Taking in

C. Wiping out D. Giving out

【2】How will the Amazon rainforest react to future climate change?

A. It'll get drier and continue to remove CO2 .

B. It'll remain steamy,warm,damp and thick.

C. It'll get warmer and then colder and drier.

D. There is no exact answer up to present.

【3】What's the main idea of the last paragraph?

A. It's hard to collect information for studies of the past climate in the Amazon rainforest.

B. It's impossible to prove how climate changes in the Amazon rainforest.

C. It's important to drill deep down into lake sediments to collect information.

D. It's necessary to have specialized equipment and machinery to study the past climate.

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

A. Studies of the Rainforests.

B. Climates of the Amazon.

C. Secrets of the Ice Age.

D. Changes of the Rainforests.
