22、

If you have ever had a cat, or have watched one of the many funny cat videos online, you'll know that cats have a mind of their own. A lot of the things they do are hard to understand—they like to climb up tall furniture, fit themselves in small spaces and attack(攻击) small objects for no reason at all.

Now scientists have managed to work out what exactly is going on in the brains of our little friends. According to Tony Buffington, a professor at Ohio State University in the US, cats' strange behavior(行为)largely comes from their way of life back in the wild. "Cats today still have many of the same natural abilities that allowed them to live in the wild for millions of years." he said in a TED Talk. "To them, our homes are their jungles(丛林)."

Cats' bodies and great balancing(平衡)abilities allow them to climb to high places to better look at the environment. Even though they don't have to hunt(猎食)any more in human houses, they still keep the old habit of observing the living room from, for example, the top of the fridge.

Cats' hunting abilities also make them attack small things like keys and USB drives.

In the wild, they hunt whatever they can get for food, and most of the animals they kill are small. However, a cat can also be prey. This explains why they like to stay in small spaces like drawers or washing machines—they are hiding, or they think they are hiding, from more dangerous animals. This is also why cats prefer a clean box: a dirty one with an unpleasant smell could easily show enemies where they are.

Knowing how cats' minds work is not only useful for better understanding them, it may also help cats' owners to better meet cats' needs. For example, owners could try to make climbing easier for cats by moving their furniture around. They could also use "food puzzles" to make eating feel more like hunting instead of just giving food to the cats.

【1】According to the passage, Tony Buffington agrees that ________.

A.cats' strange behavior is hard for people to understand

B.cats are more used to living in the wild than in humans' homes

C.cats' natural abilities are still helpful to make them get food today

D.cats act strangely mainly because of their natural abilities in the wild

【2】The word "prey" in Paragraph 4 probably means"________".

A.an animal that lives in the jungles

B.an animal that likes keeping itself clean

C.an animal that likes playing hiding games with people

D.an animal that becomes others' food after being hunted

【3】According to the writer, cats' owners can better meet cats' needs by ________.

A.creating hunting games at home B.giving them delicious food

C.making them go back to the wild D.putting them in the furniture

【4】What is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage?

A.To describe cats' past wild experience to readers.

B.To tell cat owners how to make life easier for cats.

C.To explain the reasons behind cats' strange behavior.

D.To compare cats' behavior in human homes with that in the wild.

23、

A big sandstorm hit northern China on March 15, 2021. It covered many cities with thick clouds of yellow dust (尘土).

The storm, which came from Mongolia (蒙古国), was the largest sandstorm to hit China in the past 10 years. Many flights and classes were canceled because the visibility (能见度) was lower than 500 meters.

The storm was the result of warm and dry weather in the area, together with the strong winds from Mongolia. “There has been little rainfall so far this spring and the temperature is rising. So now is a worrying time for sandstorms,” said an expert from Beijing.

In recent years, sandstorms haven’t been as common in northern China as before. The land with desertification (荒漠化) has been falling by 7,585 km2 per year in China, and the area of sandy land has been decreasing by 1,284 km2 a year. This is thanks to China’s Three-North Shelter Forest Program (TNSFP, 三北防护林工程) which started in the 1970s. Millions of trees have been planted in northern China to prevent sandstorms and protect the environment.

Besides, China has a color-graded warming system for sandstorms (as shown in the picture), with red meaning the most serious, followed by orange, yellow, blue and green. Therefore, people would have time to get prepared for the sandstorm.

【1】According to the passage, the sandstorm in March ________.

A．covered many cities with rain

B．came from Northern China

C．has been the biggest one since 2011

D．improved the visibility to 500m

【2】Paragraph 3 mainly talks about the ________ of sandstorm.

A．results

B．causes

C．history

D．areas

【3】The underlined word “decreasing” in Paragraph 4 means ________.

A．going down

B．rising up

C．taking up

D．running out

【4】If the visibility in your city is 400m, a(n) ________ warning will be given out.

A．red

B．orange

C．yellow

D．blue

【5】The passage introduces TNSFP and the warning system to show ________.

A．where the serious sandstorms come from

B．why people should protect the environment

C．how to protect ourselves during sandstorms

D．what China has done to fight against sandstorms

24、纪念英雄的不同方式

Countries, cities and people all have their own heroes. There are different kinds of heroes: politicians, soldiers, film stars, sport stars and musicians. And there are many different ways of remembering them, too. Here are some of the things that we do to make sure that we don't forget our heroes.

Sometimes we build statues or sculptures of heroes, especially of politicians and soldiers, but sometimes of writers too. Many cities in South America have a statue of Simon Bolivar(he helped lead many South American countries to independence). And the famous Mount Rushmore in the USA remembers four US presidents of the past.

We often remember soldiers and other people who died in war with a monument,like the Monument to the people's heroes in Beijing, China, or a memorial(纪念物), like the Eternal Flame at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Paris.

Some countries have a special remembrance day, like the one every January in the USA for Dr Martin Luther King, the human rights leader.

When Lady Diana Spencer died in 1997, in Paris, many people left flowers and messages near the place where the car accident happened. Now there is a Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fountain in Hyde Park in London.

Sometimes places are named after famous people: for example, Liverpool, in England and Rio de Janeiro, in Brazil both have airports named after local musicians, John Lennon and Tom Jobim.

In Hollywood, The Walk of Fame has the names of film, TV and music celebrities in stars on the pavement(人行道). Very famous celebrities have their handprints, footprints and autographs in concrete (混凝土) at Hollywood's Grauman's Chinese Theatre.

Different countries and people remember their heroes in different ways.
