The retired professor, Archibald A. Hill in Lucasville, USA could tell us the story. Ninety-seven years ago, two of Mr. Archibald Hill’s aunts, Miss Patty Hill and Miss Mildred Hill were asked to write some songs for a book called “Song Storied for the Sunday Morning”. Miss Patty Hill and Miss Mildred Hill were both kindergarten teachers then. They loved children very much and wrote many beautiful songs for the book. One of them was the famous “Good Morning to You.” The song said, “Good morning to you, good morning to you, dear children, good morning to all.” This song was very popular at that time among kindergarten children. But not many grown-ups knew it. A few years later little Archibald was born. As his aunt, Miss Patty Hill sang the song “Happy Birthday” to the melody（曲调）of “Good Morning to you” to her little nephew（侄子）. She sang the song like this: Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday, dear Archie! Happy birthday to you!

22、It is like a scene from a horror film：a spider web is several meters wide，which is home to thousands of spiders.And that was what Jason G．Goldman，an animal behavior researcher，found along a muddy path in the Peruvian Amazon jungle—the web arched from tree to tree，a structure containing too many spiders to count.They appeared to function as a society，just like ants or bees.

Anelosimus eximius，the species Goldman met in the rainforest，is not the only kind of social spiders in the world，but it does construct the biggest webs.Some can reach more than 7.6m long and 1.5m wide.A web of that size could contain as many as 50,000 individual spiders.

Anelosimus eximius was first discovered more than a century ago by a French scientist named Eugene Simon.More social spiders have been discovered since.One was found as recently as 2006.

An Anelosimus eximius colony(群体) contains adult males and females as well as youngsters，but the majority of spiders on the web are females. Males account for only between 5% and 22% of any colony’s population.Social spiders work together to build，maintain and clean their webs.They work together to catch prey(猎物)，and dine together when they trap a large feast.The females work together to care for the young in the colony.They feed their youngsters by vomiting(吐出) up food for them，just like mother birds.

Why did these spiders become social？Researchers have discovered three ecological(生态的) elements that often lead to cooperative(合作的) living among spiders.

Social spiders tend to feed on bigger prey，for one thing.Spiders living in places where it is difficult to hunt large or more profitable prey alone may eventually figure out that it is in their interest to work together.

【1】What can we know about Anelosimus eximius from the text?

A．Its latest branch was found in 2006.

B．It was discovered by Jason G．Goldman.

C．It has been in existence for less than a century.

D．It builds bigger webs than other kinds of spiders.

【2】Which of the following correctly shows the parts of an Anelosimus eximius colony?

A．

B．

C．

D．

【3】What’s the main feature of social spiders?

A．They live on big prey.

B．They care for the young.

C．They live and work together.

D．They mainly exist in the rainforest.

【4】The following paragraph would discuss .

A．new threats to spiders’ colonies

B．new research on spiders’ colonies

C．more reasons for spiders’ cooperative living

D．more species of social spiders in the world

23、The purpose of keeping fit is to avoid illness ,resist the mental and physical fatigue（疲劳）that make us more likely to contract infections ,and above all to feel more pleasure in being alive. Research has shown the value of a balanced diet ,fresh air, sunshine ,enough rest and some forms of regular exercise for everyone .If everyone followed this plan ,the number of people visiting the doctor and going to hospital would be considerably reduced.

Unfortunately ,although most people acknowledge the importance of physical fitness ,not enough of us put this into practice .We spend too much time watching others from the comfort of an armchair or a seat in the stand at a sports stadium.

One reason why people who are physically fit to live longer is that they do not put the heart under excessive strain（过度劳累）and so they reduce the risk of heart and blood vessel（血管）diseases .They also avoid suffering the consequences of weakened muscles ,which are the cause of a great deal of back and abdominal（腹部的）trouble.

About 640 muscles for about 45% of our body's weight ,they must have the ability to store energy and be continually supplied with fuel by the blood .Sensible exercise ,suited to each individual and preferably undertaken on the advice of a doctor ,is the best insurance of meeting these requirements.

【1】Why do people want to prevent illness?

A.Because they want to avoid health.

B.Because they want to add mental and physical fatigue.

C.Because they want to feel happier and live longer.

D.Because they want to obtain much more money.

C.Most people put the plan into practice.

D.No one wants to do with this plan.

24、An old friend from California called from the airport to tell me that he had arrived. I was not able to leave the office, but I had made plans for his arrival. After explaining (解释) where my new house was, I told him that I had left the key under the doormat (门垫).

26、阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

As a mountain, 1, 642-foot Squaw Peak isn’t very challenging. But its beautiful views of western Massachusetts have attracted hikers into becoming self—satisfied with no attention to its dangerous cliff(悬崖), resulting in countless injuries and even deaths.

Henry Grant, shy of starting his freshman year at Ithaca College, respected Squaw Peak and was well aware of its danger. So, he stayed a good ten feet from the edge while waiting for his mother to catch up with him one day in August 2019. He watched 15 or so other hikers enjoy the view; one hiker, around 60 and dressed in pink, was looking over the cliff with her husband on the edge of it.

When Grant’s mother caught up, the two turned to continue on their way. Suddenly, he heard something frightening: “Paula! Paula!” a man yelled out. Grant turned around. The woman in pink was nowhere to be seen. She’d fallen off the side of the mountain.

Several hikers immediately started looking for her, but their view was affected by trees. Grant told his mother, “I hate to say this, but they may find a body.” Uncertain they could help, Grant and his mother went on their way. But when he saw hikers still searching, he decided to lend a hand. After telling his mother that he would be safe, he made his way down the mountain alone, hoping he wasn’t too late.

After 15 minutes of searching, Grant saw a figure about 25 feet above him. She was dressed in pink and was in a kneeling position on a small rock. The woman had fallen about 75 feet. Fortunately, she was alive.

注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
