21、Every year gray whales swim a 10,000 miles round-trip, from the cold waters near Alaska, down the coast of North America to the warm waters near Mexico, and back again. It is one of the longest migrations (迁徙) of any mammal (哺乳动物).

All day, all summer long, in the cold waters near Alaska, gray whales eat and eat.

Instead of teeth, gray whales have baleen (鲸须) they use to get food from ocean water. They get big mouthfuls of muck (淤泥) from the ocean floor, then push that muck right back out through their baleen. The mucky water flows through, but tiny animals get trapped in the baleen and licked up.

When the water starts to freeze, the whales begin their long trip south. They swim night and day, without stopping to eat or rest. During the long journey, migrating whales may push their heads out of the water to see where they are.

Two months later, the whales reach Mexico. Babies are born here in warm, shallow (浅的) waters called lagoons (濒海湖). Ocean lagoons have no food for the adults, but the babies are safer here than in the open seas. All winter the babies grow big and strong.

In spring first the dads and teenagers leave the lagoons, then the moms with babies. Migrating gray whales swim close to shore, especially moms with babies. The ice is melting up (融化) north, and it’s time for the hungry whales to make the long journey back to their summer feeding grounds.

C. broken up   D. given up

22、Veteran Oksana Chusovitina, the 46-year-old, made a heart shape with her hands and waved to the crowd inside Tokyo’s Gymnastics Center on Sunday night after competing at a record eighth Olympic Games, while the athletes, officials and media workers gave her a standing applause as she left the sport’s biggest stage for the last time. She said she had been crying “tears of happiness, because so many people have supported me for such a long time”, adding, “I’m just so thankful.”

Born in Uzbekistan in 1976, she rose to fame as a gymnast at age 7, and was selected for the national team at age 13. She made her Olympic appearance at the 1992 Barcelona Games as part of the gold medal-winning Unified team, composed of athletes from former Soviet Union. She then represented Uzbekistan at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, the 2000 Sydney Olympics, and the 2004 Athens Olympic Games.

In order to raise medical expenses for her son with leukemia (白血病), she granted German citizenship in 2006 because of the promise of a higher income and better medical care. She took home a silver medal at the 2008 Beijing Games for Germany, but switched back to competing for Uzbekistan in 2013.

After her son’s recovery, Chusovitina continued to compete, but this time it was her love of gymnastics that kept her going. “There is no secret: I just love gymnastics and no one ever forced me to compete. I do so with pleasure.” she said. She had planned to retire after the London 2012 Olympics, but changed her mind and returned. She competed in the Tokyo Games as an Uzbekistan athlete this time, and regardless of her achievements, she drew a successful end to her long sports career.

23、   A South Korean man and the 21 ducklings he has been raising as his children ever since they hatched have been breaking the internet with their amazing bond. A video that recently went viral in the western world shows the cute birds following their “mother” on a mountain hike and listening to his every command.

The middle-aged man, whose name is not revealed in the video, has been taking care of his 21 ducklings ever since they were eggs, making sure the incubation( 孵 化 ) period went smoothly, and even helping the tiny birds break through their shell when it came time to hatch. He was the first thing they laid eyes on in this world, and he has remained the most important figure in their lives since.

Ducklings naturally follow their mother around, and since the man was the one who acted as their mother, these birds follow him everywhere, even up a mountain. To them it’s only natural, but the middle-aged man considers it training and conditioning for the time when he finally releases them into the wild. He would love to raise them all as pets, but knows that wouldn’t be ideal for him or the birds, so he’s making sure that they are strong enough to survive in the wild.

The video shows the ducks following the middle-aged man as he hikes up a mountain outside Seoul, stopping whenever he does and refusing to follow anyone else, even if they give the same “let’s go” command their human mother does. Unless they hear his voice and see him moving, they don’t budge. It’s actually quite remarkable. I mean, it’s one thing to see dogs acting like this, but ducklings? That’s something else.

While it’s not clear what the man does for a living, I’m pretty sure he has a lot of experience with ducks, as at one point he reveals a certificate for “father of ducklings” dated 2005.

【1】What can we learn from the video?

A. The ducklings just broke through their shells.

B. The man accidentally saved some ducklings.

C. The ducklings just obeyed the man naturally.

D. The man took pride in his ducklings.

【2】What’s the man’s purpose of raising the ducklings?

A. To make a living by performing.

B. To film a video to attract attention.

C. To free them into the wild one day.

D. To make a contribution to a bird reserve.

【3】Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “budge” in Paragraph 4?

A. Attack. B. Move.

C. End. D. Struggle.

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

A. “Father” and “mother” of cute pets

B. Man raises ducklings as his “children”

C. Ducklings also regarded as good pets

D. Amazing bond between man and animals

24、The heavens opened at the weekend but initially the situation was not as bad as the meteorologists(气象学家) had warned. But by Tuesday, the State Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters realized the severity of the situation and raised the emergency response to floods in Henan province to Level III.

From Saturday to Tuesday, Zhengzhou received 624 millimeters of rain, which almost equals its annual average of 640.8 mm, indicating how severe the downpour is.

The meteorological department had warned of severe rainstorms before the downpour. But, as some reports suggest, people tended to ignore them, because initially the downpour was not as heavy as predicted. We know from experience, no matter which part of the world live in, that weather forecasts are not always accurate. As a result, we often take weather-men’s warnings with a pinch of salt.

But with the big advance in science and technology, why can’t meteorologists forecast weather events accurately?

Perhaps because of clouds. Clouds have an enormous influence on Earth’s energy balance, climate and weather. While some clouds help cool the Earth by reflecting some of the sun’s energy, other clouds contribute to warming by absorbing(吸收) some of the energy that the atmosphere release, and thus adjust the Earth’s average temperature. On the other hand, weather plays a key role in accurately forecasting natural disasters such as heavy downpours, hurricanes and tsunamis. But weather variations can occur suddenly, depending on the ever-changing position and thickness of clouds.

It is the unpredictable movement of clouds that at times makes it difficult for meteorologists and other scientists to create accurate, realistic computer simulations (仿真) of the clouds and storms. The result: forecasts of severe weather events are not always entirely accurate.

Unfortunately, global warming is making the movement of clouds and storms across the world increasingly unpredictable. And the more greenhouse gases we release, the more unpredictable the weather will become.

In such a case, people and local governments need to be made aware of the dangers of ignoring weather warnings, because more often than not it is seen that meteorological warnings are real, even if sometimes they might be inaccurate by a day or about the severity of the weather event.

【1】What does the underlined phrase “take…with a pinch of salt” in Para. 3 probably mean?

A．Guess before sth happens.

B．Believe only part of sth.

C．Add flavor to a dish.

D．Trust sth without a shadow of doubt.

【2】Why can’t weather forecasts always be precise?

A．Because clouds movements are unpredictable.

B．Because clouds are too thick to absorb energy.

C．Because clouds can cause global warming.

D．Because clouds help release more greenhouse.

【3】What should people and local governments do according to the passage?

A．Ignore the weather forecast.

B．Be extremely anxious about the warnings.

C．Inform others in time.

D．Pay attention to the weather warnings.

【4】How does the writer mainly develop the text?

A．By describing the event.

B．By analyzing the reasons.

C．By commenting on the event.

D．By providing examples.
