21、A new study suggests that 98 percent of Emperor penguin groups may be pushed close to extinction by the year 2100. And about 70 percent of their groups will be in danger by 2050. The research was published in the journal Global Change Biology.

The US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS)recently announced a plan to list the Emperor penguins as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. Stephanie Jenouvrier , who is a penguin ecologist said that Emperor penguins need secure sea ice to reproduce, to feed and to molt. Molting is the replacement of their old feathers with new ones.

The new study looked at overall warming developments and the increasing likelihood of extreme weather changes because of global warming. The study noted that extremely low levels of sea ice in 2016 led to a large reproduction failure of an Emperor penguin group in Antarctica's Halley Bay. That year, seasonal sea ice broke up before young penguins had time to develop waterproof adult feathers. About 10,000 baby birds drowned, Jenouvrier said. The group did not recover afterwards.

Emperor penguins reproduce only in Antarctica during winter. Temperatures can reach minus 40 degrees Celsius, and wind speeds can reach 144 kilometers per hour. The penguins survive by gathering in groups of several thousand birds. But they cannot survive without enough sea ice.

The U.S. government has listed other species outside the country as threatened, including the polar bear. Polar bears live in Arctic areas and are also threatened by climate change and sea ice loss.

Placing Emperor penguins on the threatened list provides protections, such as a ban against importing them for business purposes. Possible effects on the penguins must also be studied by U.S. sea fisheries currently operating in Antarctica. Martha Williams, principal deputy director of the U.S. FWS said “climate change affects many animal species around the world.” She added, "The decisions made by policymakers today and during the next few decades will determine the fate of the Emperor penguin."

【1】What does the underlined word “likelihood” in Para.3 mean ?

A．Disappearance

B．significance

C．probability

D．barriers

【2】What caused the large reproduction failure of an Emperor penguin group ?

A．Being short of enough sea ice.

B．Lacking adequate food to feed.

C．The Antarctica being extremely cold.

D．Not having waterproof adult feathers.

【3】What can you infer about the Emperor penguin from the passage ?

A．The Emperor penguin will die out by the year 2100.

B．The Emperor penguin can survive by gathering in groups.

C．The future of the Emperor penguin is under complete control.

D．The authority has taken action to protect the Emperor penguin.

【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text ?

A．Emperor penguins and polar bears are listed as threatened

B．Melting ice threatens Emperor penguins’ environment

C．How Emperor penguins survive in extreme weather conditions

D．Climate change affects many animal species all over the world

22、 Facial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships. For example, in American culture  the smile is in general an expression of pleasure. Yet it also has

other uses. A woman’s smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child. A smile may show love or politeness. It can also hide true feelings. It often causes confusion across cultures. For example, many people in Russia smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper. Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places (although this is less common in big cities). Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians don’t smile enough. In Southeast Asian culture, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings. Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile.

Our faces show emotions, but we should not attempt to “read” people from another culture as we would “read” someone from our own culture. The fact that members of one culture do not

express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions. Rather, there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressions

permitted. For example, in public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do. When with friends, Japanese and Americans seem to show

their emotions similarly.

 It is difficult to generalize about Americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural differences in the United States. People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others. The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different. If we judge according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of  “reading” the other person incorrectly.

【1】What does the smile usually mean in the U.S.?

A. Love. B. Politeness.

C. Joy.   D. Thankfulness

【2】The author mentions the smile of the Vietnamese to prove that smile can ___ .

A. show friendliness to strangers.

B. be used to hide true feelings .

C. be used in the wrong places.

D. show personal habits. 

【3】What should we do before attempting to “read” people?

A. Learn about their relations with others.

B. Understand their cultural backgrounds.

C. Find out about their past experience.

D. Figure out what they will do next.

【4】 What would be the best title ?

A. Cultural Differences

B. Smiles and Relationship

C. Facial Expressiveness

D. Habits and Emotions

23、   Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I’m not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances don’t come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that’s just the reality of how life is.

However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, in addition to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing. To become great at certain things, it’ll require even more time, time that most people won’t put in.

This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don’t enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you quit well before you ever become good at it.

When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.

Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. If you’re not willing to put in the time and work, don’t expect to receive any rewards. Consistent, toil (苦干) won’t guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.

【1】Paragraph 1 mainly talks about ________.

A.the reasons for success B.the meaning of success

C.the standards of success D.the importance of success

【2】Successful people suggest doing what one loves because ________.

A.work makes one feel pain B.one tends to enjoy his work

C.one gives up his work easily D.it takes a lot of time to succeed

【3】What can we infer from Paragraph 4?

A.Successful people like to show their great skills.

B.People need to achieve success at the cost of life.

C.People sometimes succeed without luck or talent.

D.It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success.

【4】What could be the best title for the text?

A.Success ― the child of talent and luck

B.Success ― altitude rather than attitude

C.Time and tide wait for no man

D.Time and toil make for success

24、HandEnergy is an ingenious apple-sized device that charges your phone anytime, anywhere. But what really makes this thing special is the fact that it uses your own personal energy to do it.

In a time where power-banks and solar-power devices have become mainstream, a device that lets you charge gadgets on the go doesn't sound very special. But while power-banks have to be charged the old fashioned way, and solar panels need the sun to store energy.

Hand Energy just needs a hand. To get this little guy to produce energy, which it then stores in built-in batteries, all you have to do is hold it in your hand and rotate your wrists.

To use Hand Energy, users start by winding a starter ring. This transmits a signal to activate the rotor, at which point they can start rotating their wrists to keep the rotor spinning. It might sound hard to believe, but the rotor inside Hand Energy spins at an average speed of 5,000 rotations per minute, transmitting mechanical power to create an electric current, and charging the built-in batteries. To charge a device, all you have to do is hook it up to HandEnergy using a USB cable.

Hand Energy was successfully crowd funded on Kickstarter, raising over $71,000 in one month, and will be available for the masses in May 2017, at a price of 99 euros. One thing is for sure – it beats paying thousands of dollars on a solar-powered gadget-charging coat.

【1】The main purpose of product of the passage is to .

A. introduce a new product to the readers.

B. emphasize the product to the readers.

C. attract potential consumers.

D. appeal for crowd fund.

【2】The underlined words in Para 2 means .

A. without difficulties

B. anytime and anywhere

C. free of charge

D. on the way

【3】What is the author’s attitude towards Hand Energy?

A. skeptical

B. cautious

C. positive

D. neutral
