21、The World Health Organization (WHO) is warning young people all over the world that they are also at risk from COVID-19.

They think it is a disease that only older people catch. The WHO said the truth is that young people are catching the coronavirus and becoming ill or dying from it.

The Director-General of the WHO said, "Today, I have a message for young people: You are not invincible (无障碍的，不可战胜的)." He added, "This coronavirus could put you in hospital for weeks, or even kill you. Even if you don't get sick, the choices you make about where you go could be the difference between life and death for someone else." The WHO said, "A part of patients treated in hospital for COVID-19 around the world are aged under 50." New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said many young people are not following the state's social-distancing rules. He told young people that, "This is a public health issue (议题) and you cannot be endangering other peoples' health."

23、   For many animals, the sea is a dangerous place. Overfishing and pollution are killing many sea animals. But the number of cephalopods (头足类动物) – sea animals that include octopi (章鱼) and squid (鱿鱼) – has been growing for the past 60 years. 

Zoe Doubleday is a scientist and she did a study of cephalopods. She says cephalopods’ special abilities made their numbers to grow.

① These animals can change their colour and body shape. They grow fast and live for only one or two years. “This allows them to get used to changing environments more quickly than other sea animals,” Doubleday said.

② What’s more, rising sea temperatures might make animals age faster, she says. They might be growing faster and giving birth to more babies.

③ So people can find them in both cold and hot places. Because they can easily get used to their environment, they are known as the “wild grass of the sea”.

④ Will octopi and squid take over the world one day? According to Doubleday, that won’t happen. The growth of cephalopods could slow down if the animals run out of food and start eating each other. Overfishing could also change their numbers.

For now, the cephalopod growth is good news for other sea animals. “The growing number of cephalopods could be good for sea animals and birds that eat cephalopods,” Doubleday said.

【1】According to the first paragraph, what is happening to sea animals?

A.They are getting used to dirty water.

B.They are running out of food.

C.They are being killed by overfishing and pollution.

D.They are being caught and kept in zoos.

【2】What helped the number of cephalopods to grow?

A.Their ability to change their colour and body shape.

B.Their ability to grow more slowly than other animals.

C.Their ability to change their body temperature.

D.Their ability to eat other sea animals.

【3】“Cephalopods live in all of the world’s seas.” The sentence can be put in ________.

A.① B.② C.③ D.④

【4】According to the article, the cephalopod growth now ________ .

A.makes the sea full of wild grass B.makes the sea full of cephalopods

C.harms some sea animals D.is good for some sea animals

24、   Beijing Opera used to sound strange to Dou Yi. The 14-year-old Beijinger said whenever she came across Beijing Opera on TV, she changed the channel (频道). Like most of today’s teenagers, Dou loves pop music.
