21、Bee venom (毒液) is a highly sought and expensive ingredient for specialized medical treatments and now Australian scientists have discovered that when the industrious insects become annoyed, their venom becomes even more powerful.

Researchers at Curtin University have noted how behavioral and ecological factors can influence the quality of the venom which is used to treat degenerative and infectious diseases. Their study, published in the scientific journal PLOS, analysed protein found in the venom of western honeybees.

The more proteins found in the venom, the higher the potential quality and effect. To understand the protein diversity of venom and find out what impacted this, the researchers looked at a range of factors including the behavioral patterns of the bees.

“We classify the bees’ anger according to their response to the stimulating devices that collect the venom,” said Dr. Daniela Scaccabarozzi, who led the project.

The bee venom collector has a tiny charge that shocks any bees landing on it and they release information that forces the rest bees of the hive (蜂窝) to sting (螫). “Interestingly, we discovered that the ‘angry bees’ produced a richer, more protein-dense venom. And we found that there was no visible harm to the bees.” Scaccabarozzi said.

The team also confirmed that temperature impacted the venom’s strength. “High temperatures can be detrimental to bees’ activity in and out of the hives,” Scaccabarozzi said. “Of the 25 hives tested, we discovered that the sites with higher temperatures recorded lower venom production.” Further findings also revealed that geographical location had an impact on the composition of bee venom, as well as what stage the flowers were at during harvest when they were consumed by the bees.

Expecting the research to be useful to the medical field and the beekeeping business, Scaccabarozzi says further research will help beekeepers collect a standardized quality of venom to meet growing demand in clinical and therapeutic fields, as well as help design cost-effective strategies for venom harvest to secure its position in the global market.

【1】What have researchers at Curtin University found?

A．Harvesting bee venom is really a tough task.

B．Bee venom is a costly and powerful medicine.

C．Angry bees make medicinally stronger venom.

D．Bees exhibit apparent differences in behaviour.

【2】How did the researchers stimulate the bees?

A．By classifying them.

B．By sounding the alarm.

C．By disturbing their hive.

D．By giving them tiny shocks.

【3】What does the underlined word “detrimental” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?

A．Sensitive.

B．Harmful.

C．Fundamental.

D．Alternative.

【4】What does Scaccabarozzi expect of future research?

A．It will identify beneficial proteins.

B．It will develop valuable medicines.

C．It will standardize the venom market.

D．It will help produce profitable venom.

22、Many people have secrets or things about themselves they don’t want others to know. Those secrets can be something as simple as they have a new job or serious matters such as a divorce. 【1】. But if you want someone to open up to you, building trust and showing that you can keep secrets may get them to tell you the secret.

23、The average temperature on Earth is now 1℃ hotter than it was in the late 1800s, and that temperature will keep rising toward the serious 1.5℃ standard over the next five years, according to a new report.

The authors of the new report predict that the average annual temperature on Earth will temporarily hit 1.5℃ of warming at some point in the next five years. “That possibility has doubled since last year. We’re seeing increasing changes in our climate,” says Randall Cerveny, a climate scientist at Arizona State University.

Topping 1.5℃ of warming in a single year wouldn’t break the Paris Agreement. But with every passing year of rising greenhouse gas emissions (排放), it becomes more likely that humans will cause catastrophic warming. The report calculates there’s a 90% chance that one of the next five years will be the warmest year on record. “It is yet another wakeup call that the world needs to speed up commitments to slash greenhouse gas emissions,” WMO Secretary-General Petteri Taalas said in a statement.

If the U.S. follows through on new promises to cut down on its greenhouse gas emissions, it would help limit global warming to some extent, although other countries including China would also need to reduce their emissions in the next 10 years.

In April, the U.S. promised to cut the emissions in half by 2030 compared with 2005 levels. Most of those cuts would need to come from electricity generation and transportation. Meanwhile, the fossil fuel industry is seeing more pressure to invest in clean energy. On Wednesday, a Dutch court ordered Royal Dutch Shell to cut its carbon emissions more quickly, although the company says it expects to appeal (上诉) the decision. And a small activist hedge fund (对冲基金会) successfully placed at least two new candidates on Exxon Mobil’s board of directors, with the goal of pushing the company to take climate change more seriously.

【1】What can we learn from Randall Cerveny?

A．Climate change becomes more serious.

B．The prediction about climate is in doubt.

C．The experts think little of climate change.

D．The average annual temperature doubled last year.

【2】What does the underlined word “slash” in paragraph 3 mean?

A．Reduce.

B．Avoid.

C．Measure.

D．Forbid.

【3】What can we infer from paragraph 4?

A．America fails to cut greenhouse gas emissions.

B．China determines to follow America’s example.

C．Other countries have helped limit global warming.

D．America plays a role in global greenhouse gas emissions.

【4】What happened to Royal Dutch Shell according to the last paragraph?

A．It was charged with air pollution.

B．It brought pressure to global warming.

C．It was asked to quicken the cut of carbon emissions.

D．It devoted to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

24、Attention People of Earth:Fine. The big secret is out. A bunch of your finest scientists have cracked the case and discovered there is life tens of millions of miles away一here, on our beautiful planet of Venus. Congratulations on the big discovery. However, we have a polite request:Stay away.

We're serious. We're not interested. No missions to Venus, no exploratory spacecraft, no sleepovers. If we wake up one morning and look out and see Bezos, Musk and Branson wandering around in spacesuits, we're going to be really ticked off.

We mean no hostility. It's just that we're not terribly impressed by what you've got going on down there. Earth looks like a mess. You've got health crises, environmental crises and political crises. No wonder so many of you want to abandon Earth for somewhere else.

Leave us alone. Keep right where you are. We know you'd like it here. That's what scares us. You'd all move to Venus in an instant. We've got beautiful weather, minimal traffic and a decent cost of living. But we live in a fragile solar system. We can only handle so much. If we start having you all up here, pretty soon, the Martians and Jupiterians are going to want to come, too.

Meanwhile, cool your enthusiasm. Tell Elon, Jeff and Sir Richard to settle down and stick to cars, books and planes. We're not your escape plan. Venus is not Earth 2.

We wish you the best in figuring it out. We have every faith you can save your planet. If not, try Pluto. They're pretty lonely and bored out there.

Sincerely,

Venus

26、阅读下面短文， 根据所给情节进行续写， 使之构成一个完整的故事。

Ken Scott kicked off the covers and leapt out of bed at his home in the Rocky Mountain town of Mullan, Idaho. He’d just heard on the radio that the nearby Silver Mountain Resort had been blessed with nearly a foot and a half of new snow. As an experienced ski addict, he didn’t want to miss this big golden opportunity. These conditions are what skiers live for.

When Scott reached Silver Mountain’s locker room, he came across his friend Paul, a former ski instructor who had also been a regular on these slopes for more than two decades. Both of them were exhilarated. Before setting off, it was Paul’s routine to check his phone tightly fixed inside his parka (风 雪外套). For the next hour the pair skied on various runs under a lightly dull sky, making fresh tracks. They were both in a playful mood, laughing as they tackled the steep runs.

Almost immediately, the snow beneath their feet gave way. In a millisecond, Paul realized what was happening. “Avalanche! (雪崩)” he yelled to Scott, who was not far behind. Scott responded. The sudden snow slide caused fear in his voice. “This is happening!” Instantly, both were hit by a mass of snow that would hit and carry them some 500 feet down the mountain. Scott felt it surrounding and enclosing him, moving quickly up his back and over his shoulders, then heavy against his neck. Snow filled the space in front of him and piled up around the whole of him. Paul, too, was swept downhill.

They remembered the avalanche survival lessons they had learned. Keep your head up. Try to swim. Stay on top of the snow. But the snow was too powerful and they felt themselves rolling like a load of clothes in a washing machine. When Scott finally came to rest, he was lying on his left side and completely buried, skis and poles still attached.

注意：1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
