21、As the family of 16 Asian elephants started moving north, no one knew where they were heading, or why. At first, no one thought much about it. Elephants sometimes disappear beyond Xishuangbanna National Nature Reserve in southwestern China’s Yunnan Province, but they always return.

【1】. During 16 months the elephants walked 300 miles north to Kunming, the provincial capital of Yunnan Province. Along the way, they robbed the crops and blocked the traffic, causing about a half million dollars in damage, and there was the risk of an elephant attacking a curious onlooker. 【2】. The simple answer would be to calm the giant mammals and transport them back to the reserve.

But that would be risky for this group, especially for the three baby elephants. Instead, officials mobilized (动员) an emergency task force to keep everyone, elephants and humans alike, safe. Drones tracked the elephants’ every move. Electric fences, road barriers, and new pathways helped them move toward safer routes. Tons of corn, pineapples, and bananas were used to trick them away from towns. 【3】.

Some might argue that doing so much to keep a family of elephants safe was wasteful. But conserving our natural and human heritage is about encouraging good in the world. 【4】, just as we need health and peace. They’re essential parts of the world where our lives take place, and they help us make sense of our own stories. They provide the context for our existence. 【5】.

A．They have become global celebrities

B．They’re our past, present, and future

C．We need wildlife and ancient artifacts

D．Things, however, are different this time

E．Thousands of people volunteered to join the force

F．They presented a problem for government officials

G．These measures involved lots of manpower and resources

22、   Cooking has become a hobby and major recreation (娱乐) for many people in quarantine during the COVID-19 pandemic. It’s almost impossible nowadays to check social media without at least two or three photos of delicious meals popping up on our screens. But behind the fancy recipes and boastful (炫耀的) social media posts, many of us don’t realize how much we take food for granted.

“At the same time while dealing with a COVID-19 pandemic, we are also on the brink of a hunger pandemic,” David Beasley, executive director of the World Food Program (WFP), a United Nations agency, warned on April 20.

Around 135 million people had been facing food shortages before the coronavirus outbreak, but now 130 million more could go hungry in 2020, said Arif Husain, chief economist at the World Food Program. Altogether, 265 million people are being pushed to the brink of starvation (饥饿) by the COVID-19 crisis.

According to The New York Times, thousands of workers in India are lining up twice a day for bread and fried vegetables to fight against hunger. And across Colombia, poor families are hanging red clothing and flags from their windows to show that they are hungry.

“We don’t have any money, and now we need to survive,” said Pauline Karushi, who lost her job at a jewelry store in Nairobi. “That means not eating much.”

Lockdowns and social distancing measures contributed to loss of income for people worldwide and disrupted (打乱) agricultural production and supply routes (路线), leaving millions to worry how they will get enough to eat.

Money alone will not be enough, according to WFP. Also crucial is ensuring (保证) that transport and supply chains stay open in the face of lockdowns.

“There is no shortage of food globally – yet. But problems in planting, harvesting and transporting food will leave less developed countries facing even more difficult times in the coming months, especially those reliant (依赖的) on imports,” Johan Swinnen, director general of the International Food Policy Research Institute in Washington told The New York Times.

However, for us, there’s no need for stockpiling (囤积) food, said Wei Baigang, an official from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs. The reserves (储存) of rice and wheat in China are enough for the whole population for one year, according to Xinhua, and the prices remain stable.

“We have the confidence and determination to keep our rice bowls full,” said Pan Wenbo, another official from the ministry.

Past food shortages

Numbers of people in food crises in previous years (in millions)

2019        135M people in         55 countries

2018        113M people in      53 countries

2017        124M people in         51 countries

2016       108M people in         48 countries

【1】What does the underlined phrase “on the brink of” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A．in case of

B．in prevention of

C．on the edge of

D．on the way to

【2】What is the main idea of Paragraphs 3-5?

A．Causes of food crises in different countries.

B．The seriousness of the world’s hunger problem.

C．The negative effects of the coronavirus outbreak.

D．Ways to fight against food shortages in different countries.

【3】What did Johan Swinnen tell us?

A．Money is the key to food supply chains.

B．The food shortage is a global problem.

C．Self-reliant countries don’t have food shortages.

D．Lockdowns will cause food crises in many countries.

【4】What did the Chinese government advise people to do?

A．Stockpile enough food for emergencies.

B．Prepare themselves for high food prices.

C．Stay calm and confident in relation to food supplies.

D．Overcome any difficulties to transport food.

24、   Sea urchins(海胆) are small creatures , but what’s really remarkable about them is that they eat anything that happens to float by. They have really sharp teeth they use to rid rocks of algae(海藻)which makes them pretty valuable especially in places like Hawaii where algae are threatening the coral reefs. In the summer of 2019, 500,000 of them were used to deal with the algae.

The problem started when non-native algae were introduced to the ecosystem of Kaneohe Bay in the 1970s. Because they had no enemies, they ended up taking over the bay, according to the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). The algae blocked sunlight from reaching the coral, which in turn affected the local fish because they changed the chemistry of the water.

That’s when the NMFS turned to sea urchins that loved to devour the algae. But they had to grow to the size of a cherry tomato before they could be used. Since 2011, sea urchins have been grown and used to handle the algae problem. Some of the funds are available due to an unfortunate incident. In 2005, a ship was grounded on a shallow reef near Kaneohe Bay. When the ship was removed, 20 acres of reefs have been damaged. When there is environmental damage, the NMFS and other agencies receive funds from the wrongdoers and the funds are used to restore the damage. Some funds were spent on other projects like the sea urchins. The state of Hawaii began to grow the sea urchins. When they are large enough, divers carefully place them on the reef.

Algae isn’t the only thing that threatens the coral reefs. Climate change and the effects of fishing and tourism in the area also endanger the coral reefs. But turning to sea urchins instead of man-made solutions seems like the best way to go.

【1】Why are sea urchins regarded as outstanding creatures?

A.They are tiny but have teeth.

B.They can keep the ocean clean.

C.They can remove harmful algae.

D.They grow on coral reefs with algae.

【2】What happened after non-native algae arrived at Kaneohe Bay?

A.They helped the coral reefs to survive.

B.They spread to every corner of the bay.

C.They didn't fit in with the new surroundings.

D.They fought against other species to get food.

【3】Which word can replace the underlined word “devour” in paragraph 3?

A.Eat B.Block

C.Attack D.Attract

【4】What does the author suggest doing to save coral reefs?

A.Banning fishing and tourism. B.Relying on humans’ solutions.

C.Employing divers to handle algae. D.Letting nature take care of nature.
