21、In anticipation (预料) of an extraordinary visit, the streets and buildings of Havana, Cuba, were cleaned and painted by dozens of workers. What was the occasion?

For the first time in nearly 90 years, a sitting United States president was coming to Cuba, an island nation 90 miles south of Florida. On Sunday, President Barack Obama, joined by his family, stepped off Air Force One and onto a rainy runway, where Cuban dignitaries (高官) eagerly awaited him. “It’s wonderful to be here, ” the president said. The last time a U.S. president came to Cuba was in 1928. It was President Calvin Coolidge, and he arrived on a battleship. Obama will be in Cuba through Tuesday. He is set to meet with Cuba’s president, Raul Castro, attend a state dinner and even take in a baseball game.

The U.S. cut all ties with Cuba after Fidel Castro’s communist government took control of the island in 1959. In the years that followed, both countries’ opposing political views furthered the separation. Plans for social and economic change began after President Fidel Castro transferred power to his brother, Raul in 2008. Raul Castro then set a plan in motion to revive the country’s economy.

Since then, Cuba has been taking small, yet lasting steps toward change by removing a number of restrictions that had been set on its citizens, such as access to the Internet, the use of cellphones, and by allowing people to work at jobs not controlled by the government. Cuba, however, still has tough limits on media, public assembly and political opposition.

Obama hopes to share his vision for Cuba’s future during a speech he will deliver. Before the trip, Senior Advisor Ben Rhodes said the president hoped to use this visit as a way to “continue to create openings for great engagement between the American and Cuban people.”

【1】What is stressed in the second paragraph?

A. President Obama’s arrival on television.

B. Obama and Castro talk about human rights.

C. The first serving U.S. president to visit Cuba recently.

D. First lady Michelle Obama was later welcomed.

【2】What was the event showing Cuba’s change for the better?

A. Fidel Castro rose to power.

B. Raul Castro came to power.

C. Calvin Coolidge arrived in Cuba.

D. The U.S. officials arrived in Cuba.

【3】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Cuba is central to conflict.

B. Cuba takes on media freedoms.

C. Cuba is working towards progress.

D. Cuba makes sure the right to healthcare.

【4】According to Ben Rhodes, which is the purpose of Barack Obama’s visit to Cuba?[

A. To bring negative change for Cubans.

B. To carry out his vision for Cuba’s future.

C. To break silence and no communications.

D. To give Mr Castro a list of political views.

22、A zoo in Memphis, Tennessee, is returning two giant pandas that had been on loan from China for 20 years, prompting celebrations by animal advocates who said the health of the animals had worsened due to neglect.

The announcement on Wednesday came after months of criticism by In Defense of Animals and other advocacy groups that have accused the zoo of providing inadequate care to the pandas, Ya Ya and Le Le. Critics called on the zoo to provide them with better food, more uncaged time and ultimately a transfer to a panda refuge.

IDA posted a video on Twitter in February that showed the pandas pacing in circles around their enclosure as proof they were suffering from “physical, mental, and emotional deprivation.” It received thousands of likes and was retweeted by singer Billie Eilish.

A spokesperson for the zoo said the decision to return the pandas to China had nothing to do with pressure from animal advocates. China requires foreign zoos that host pandas on loan to allow older animals to spend their final days on Chinese soil. At 24 and 22, respectively, Le Le and Ya Ya have exceeded the giant panda life expectancy in the wild by almost 10 years, according to the spokesperson.

Giant pandas, whose black and white faces have made them beloved around the world, are considered a vulnerable species, with much of their mountainous natural habitat in southwest China under threat from deforestation.

According to the World Wildlife Fund, about 1,800 pandas are left in the wild and another 500 in zoos around the world. With the return of Ya Ya and Le Le to China, U.S. zoos will have a total of 10 giant pandas.

【1】What is the purpose of the video posted by IDA?

A．To reveal the unknown habits of the pandas.

B．To demand the release of the ill-treated pandas.

C．To attract public attention and receive more likes

D．To appeal for improvement in the care of the pandas

【2】Why did the zoo decide to return the pandas?

A．The pandas have reached a ripe old age.

B．The zoo was in financial difficulties.

C．Visitors have lost interest in the pandas.

D．Animal advocates put pressure on the zoo.

【3】What is the current status of giant pandas in the wild?

A．They have short life expectancy.

B．They are critically endangered.

C．They are losing their natural habitat.

D．Their population is dramatically increasing.

【4】Which can be a suitable title for the text?

A．IDA Calling for Release of Abused Pandas

B．Memphis Pandas to Be Returned to China

C．Ya Ya and Le Le Dying for a Home

D．A Video of Pandas Drawing Criticism

23、   The Maya city of Tikal is famous for its amazing palaces and temples. But something far more ordinary kept Tikal functioning: its water-purifying(净化) system, the earliest known of its kind.

Researchers recently discovered a volcanic mineral that traps microbes(微生物) and heavy metals in Tikal's largest reservoir(水库). Because the material is not found nearby, the finding suggests the presence of a man-made water-purifying device.

The finding denies the long-standing idea that the ancient worlds technological achievements belonged to the Eastern world, like Egypt, and China. The leading scientist of this research, Kenneth Tankersley says, “When talking about purifying water, the Maya were thousands of years ahead.”

Located in the forests of Central America, Tikal, is thought to have been home to more than 45,000 people. They had to struggle against a dry season lasting from November through April. Storing water in reservoirs was a solution, but that water had to be fit to drink, said Kenneth, “Keeping water clean was of great importance.”

A few years ago, the researchers were surprised to find that the largest reservoir, Corriental, had significantly fewer harmful chemicals than the others. “The water quality at Corriental was much higher.”

Somehow the Maya must have been purifying Corriental’s water, the team assumed. “The Maya used gardens as their bathrooms.” Kenneth said, “The water coming into the reservoir would not have been very clean.”

At the bottom of Corriental, scientists found four separate layers(层), each a few centimeters thick, of millimeter-scale “zeolites(沸石)”. This type of volcanic mineral can purify water and is still in widespread use today, Kenneth says, “Just about everything we drink, from bottled water to wine, runs through a zeolite purifying device.”

The Maya wouldn’t have known about the zeolite in rock, but they would have recognized the purifying effects, the researchers suggest. A zeolite-rich rock formation about 30 kilometers northeast of Tikal is the likely source of the material in Corriental reservoir, the team said last month in Scientific Reports. Water at this site “was clear and tasted good.”

【1】What did the researchers find?

A.A new material called zeolites. B.The purifying effects of zeolites.

C.An old water-purifying system. D.High-quality water in Corriental.

【2】How did the Maya purify water?

A.By building the largest reservoir. B.By using gardens as their bathrooms.

C.By getting rid of heavy metals. D.By spreading four layers of zeolites.

【3】What can we learn from the research?

A.The Maya drank bottled water. B.The ancient Maya were very bright.

C.The system was created by accident. D.The zeolites were found in Corriental.

【4】According to Kenneth,________.

A.the original water in Corriental was not clean enough

B.water supply in Tikal lasted from November to April

C.all ancient technological achievements belonged to the East

D.the Maya had a good understanding of the zeolite in rocks

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

When Ruth was sixty-eight years old, she visited her daughter Judy and teenage granddaughter Marcy in California. They headed for their cabin, moving forty miles up and down the mountains in their car,along a narrow one-lane road that wound terrifyingly close to cliffs (悬崖).

After dinner, Marcy announced the water tank was low and that she would drive the car down to the pump and get water. Ruth was nervous about her young granddaughter driving down the narrow road by herself, but Judy reminded her that Marcy had been driving vehicles up there roads for many years

“Just be careful, Marcy”, her mother warned. “They’ve had a drought up here and the road along the cliff is pretty shaky. Be sure to hug the mountain side.”

Ruth and Judy watched Marcy from the big window where they could see the road winding down the mountainside. Fifteen minutes later, Judy was still watching when suddenly she screamed,”Oh no! She went over the cliff, Momma! The car and Marcy--they went over! We have to help her!Come on!”

Judy took off running desperately. Grabbing a three-foot-long walking stick against the cabin door, Ruth ran behind her, but Judy was quickly out of sight after the first turn in the road. Breathing hard, Ruth ran on and on, trying to catch up with her daughter. It was getting harder and harder to see anything at dusk.

Suddenly she stopped, not knowing where she was.”Marcy!Judy!”she shouted.

A faint voice .”Momma!”It was Judy.

Ruth screamed into the darkness “Judy,where are you?” Off to her right and down the cliff she heard, “Down here,Mother!Don’t come near the edge! I slipped on loose rocks and fell over. I’m down about ten feet.”

“Oh dear! Judy, what can I do?”

“Just stay back, Momma!”

Facing the situation, Ruth felt her heart was pounding, and chest pains almost took her breath away. She started to sob, totally at a loss what to do.

注意：

1. 续写词数应为150左右：

At that moment, Ruth glimpsed at the walking stick, an idea striking her.
