21、   Bees are unimaginably territorial (有地盘意识的), fighting to death to defend their home with painful stings (螫刺). But killer bees are particularly fierce. They appeared after African bees were imported to Brazil in the 1950s. By the 1980s, they had spread north to the United States, outgunning native bees along the way. Their massive attacks have killed more than 1,000 people.

Mario Palma, a biochemist at Sao Paulo State University in Rio Claro, Brazil, who studies social behavior in bees, wanted to understand the basis of this aggression. So he and his colleagues swung a black leather ball in front of some killer bees and collected the bees whose stingers got stuck in the ball during the attack. They also collected killer bees that remained in the cell. The analysis suggested that killer bee brains have two proteins that—in the aggressive bees—quickly break into pieces to form a so-called “neuropeptide (神经肽)”, they reported this week in the Journal of Proteome Research.

Palma and his colleagues already knew that bee brains have these two proteins. “We were astonished when we identified some very simple neuropeptides, which were produced in a few seconds,” Palma said. Killer bees that remained in the cell did not make these neuropeptides, he reported. And when his team put these neuropeptides into young, less aggressive bees, they “became aggressive like older individuals”.

Palma added that these neuropeptides also increase the production of  energy  and alarm chemicals. They could also encourage the nerve cells in killer bees needed to make the stinging attack. “There is a fine biochemical regulation in the killer bee brain,” he said. Researchers have found these neuropeptides in other insects, but few had associated them with “fight” behavior.

【1】What is special about bees?

A. They are particularly fierce. B. They show territorial behavior.

C. They were imported to Brazil. D. They live in harmony with other insects.

【2】Why did Palma and his colleagues perform the experiment?

A. To understand bees’ social behavior.

B. To study why killer bees are aggressive.

C. To prove bees love flying around.

D. To learn how bees communicate with each other.

【3】What finding surprised the researchers during the experiment?

A. There are two proteins in killer bee brains.

B. Young killer bees are fiercer than older ones.

C. The killer bees make an attack immediately.

D. Killer bee brains produce neuropeptide quickly.

【4】What will the author probably talk about following the last paragraph?

A. The form of these neuropeptides in killer bees.

B. The function of these neuropeptides in other insects.

C. The application of these scientific methods in other insects.

D. The production of energy and alarm chemicals in killer bees.

22、   Why are some countries 30 minutes off the Global Time Zone Grid? It is an interesting question. To understand the answer, we have to understand where time zones came from in the first place.

Until the mid-19th century, major cities would set their local time by when the sun was at its highest point in that particular city.【1】For example, when it was 12 p.m. in New York City, it was 12:23 p. m. in Boston. With the development of rapid transport, local mean time made things increasingly more difficult because trains arriving from a certain city would be arriving at each stop's local time.【2】

So began the creation of an international standard of time. At last 27 countries reached an agreement that the world would be divided into 24 time zones based on the 24 hours in each day. Each of the time zones would be defined by a meridian (子午线).【3】It later became known as Coordinated Universal Time (协调世界时).

So why are some cities 30 or 45 minutes off?【4】For example, in New Delhi, India, they found themselves halfway between two meridians, and therefore decided to be 30 minutes between each, as opposed to adopting one time or the other.

【5】But when it comes to figuring out what time it actually is, a little humor never hurts. Posted in the comments on the BBC article by David Marshall of London, England: “I live in my wife's time zone, which is 10 minutes later than everyone else's.”

A．Time zones can be confusing.

B．It was called local mean time.

C．No doubt people were confused.

D．In this way time zones came into being.

E．That is because those cities are nearly the same.

F．All of the times were set according to Greenwich Mean Time.

G．That has largely to do with the politics in each of those places.

23、What would you think if someone suggested pulling down Big Ben to make way for a car park? It would be ridiculous, right? But when it comes to devastation (毁灭) of the natural world, we aren’t so easily shocked. But we should be...or we’ll be in a lot of trouble.

Nature is shrinking by the day. Ancient forests are destroyed. Wetlands are becoming dry. Woodland is disappearing. And all in the name of progress. This is bad in itself, but it’s devastating for biodiversity.

Biodiversity refers to the variety of plants, animals and other living things which are all inter-connected. The ecological services provided by biodiversity are vital to everyday life. The air we breathe is a product of photosynthesis (光合作用) by green plants. In fact, all life on earth exists thanks to the benefit of biodiversity. More than 90 percent of the calories consumed by people worldwide are produced from 80 plant species. And 30 percent of medicines are developed from plants and animals. Maintaining a wide diversity of species in each ecosystem is necessary to preserve all living things.

The loss of biodiversity could be devastating. “It is wrong to think that biodiversity can be reduced indefinitely without threatening humans,” said Harvard University biologist Edward O. Wilson, known as “the father of biodiversity”. He warned, “we are about to reach a critical point beyond which biodiversity loss will be unavoidable.”

But what can we do? The problem is that the concept of biodiversity is so vague. People might care about giant pandas, but it is much harder to excite them about the fate of tiny sea creatures which are being boiled to death in the cooling systems of power stations along coastlines. The Guardian newspaper is trying to help. It has started the Biodiversity 100 campaign to try to convince governments around the world to take action to deal with the widespread concerns about biodiversity. This includes persuading the UK government to create a series of marine reserves to reverse the decline in sea-life caused by industrial fishing, banning the fishing sharks by the Japanese fishermen and stopping the killing of dingoes in Australia, among many other things.

There is a lot to do. And we’d better get a move on if we don’t want to end up with a planet that can’t support life!

【1】What does the author want to tell us by the comparison in paragraph 1?

A．It is unreasonable to pull down Big Ben.

B．People take devastation of nature for granted.

C．The differences between Big Ben and nature.

D．The great trouble we have been faced with.

【2】What can we infer from Edward O. Wilson’s words?

A．It doesn’t matter to reduce biodiversity.

B．People have done enough to preserve biodiversity.

C．The situation of biodiversity is very serious.

D．Biodiversity loss has become unavoidable.

【3】What does the underlined word “It” in paragraph 5 refer to?

A．The UK government.

B．The concept of biodiversity.

C．The action to deal with problem.

D．The Guardian newspaper.

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

A．Biodiversity Battle

B．Biodiversity Loss

C．Planet Conservation

D．Planet Changing

24、A student named Bruce sent me an email. He said, “My parents promised me a trip to California Disneyland if I get good grades in the final exams. 【1】. Why do adults connect everything with school grades?”

The following are my tips about his problem:

I understand your problem, and this must be frustrating to hear. Studies are important in a young person’s life. 【2】. However, too much stress could have a negative influence on your mood and even how you perform at school.

For the time being, it is best to have a positive attitude. 【3】. However, if you feel that your parents are putting you under too much pressure, then be honest and tell them how you feel. This way in the future when you have more exams, they will be less likely to put you in such an awkward situation, in which your results directly determine how they treat you.

【4】 if you explain to them your annoyance and how the added stress will be counter-productive (产生反效果的) for your exam performance.

It may be a long time since your parents were at school so they may find it difficult to understand your situation. I remember the days when I endlessly studied for exams, worrying before the big day came. 【5】, instead of worrying about the future consequences of any result. As a general rule for exams, try to make sure you have a schedule that allows you time to relax. I found this incredibly useful in helping me keep focused.

Be honest with your parents. At the end of the day, you are still fortunate enough that you have the chance of a trip after the exams are over.

A．But if I don’t, they will cancel the trip

B．Don’t expect much from them

C．I always found it best to focus on the task at hand

D．Your parents want to reward you for your hard work

E．I feel full of confidence and so open to possibilities

F．They may think differently about how they offer motivation

G．Try and let this potential reward motivate you if you can

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。

Sedona hiking trails can be fun and relaxing, but sometimes can also be challenging and dangerous.

Rogers, 33, an on-duty airman, was in town from Colorado Springs for adventures on Sedona trails. Even he had just taken a sharp turn on his mountain bike in April 2020 when he was stopped short by the sight of a woman sitting on the side of the trail. She was cute and had long blond hair and big expressive eyes. What he didn’t know then was that she was also in extreme pain.

Sydney Linden, 28, had been jogging down Adobe Jack Trail in Sedona, Arizona, for a picturesque sunset view of the Red Rocks when she hopped over a rock and her leg over extended on the landing. The pain was instant.

Her right leg collapsed and she hit the dirt hard. Linden tried to stand but collapsed. She wasn’t sure if she had torn her ACL (十字韧带), broken her leg, or something else. All she knew was that the pain was a 15 out of 10.

Although it was spring, the Arizona sun beat down relentlessly (无情地). Linden dragged herself to the shade, as if an animal preparing to die. She’d called a friend, but after 30 minutes, her friend was lost. That’s when she saw the mountain biker.

Rogers was trying to play it cool. He casually rode by at a slower speed, stealing a glance at the woman. Sensing her suffering, Rogers stopped and asked if he could help. Linden explained her situation and that’s when he noticed the swelling under her leggings. She needed a hospital-now.

Rogers helped Linden to her feet and they began the steep (陡坡) over the rocky region and desert bushes. It was a long way to go. Leaning on Rogers, Linden tried to hop along, but the pain was severe. She would never make it to the trailhead (登山口) this way.
