21、Honeybees can’t swim, and when their wings are wet, they can’t fly, either. But Chris Roh and other researchers at the California Institute of Technology found that when bees drop into bodies of water, they can use their wings to produce little waves and slide toward land—like surfers who create and then ride their own waves.

As with many scientific advances－Isaac Newton’s apple or Benjamin Franklin’s lightning bolt—Dr. Roh’s experiment began with a walk. Passing Caltech’s Millikan Pond in 2016, he observed a bee on the water’s surface producing waves. He wondered how an insect known for flight could push itself through water.

Dr. Roh and his co-worker, Morteza Gharib, used butterfly nets to collect local Pasadena honeybees and observed their surf-like movements. The researchers used a wire to restrict each bee’s bodily movement, allowing close examination of their wings. They found that the bee bends its wings at a 30-degree angle, pulling up water and producing a forward force. Bees get trapped on the surface because water is roughly three times heavier than air. But that weight helps to push the bee forward when its wings move quickly up and down. It’s a tough exercise for the bees, which the researchers guess could handle about 10 minutes of the activity.

The researchers said the surf-like movement hasn’t been documented in other insects and most semiaquatic insects use their legs for pushing power, which is known as water-walking. It may have developed in bees, they predicted.

Dr. Roh and Dr. Gharib have imagined many practical applications for bees’ surfing. One plan is to use their observations to design robots able to travel across sky and sea. “This could be useful for search and rescues, or for getting samples of the surface of the ocean, if you can’t send a boat or helicopter,” Dr. Gharib said.

【1】What does the author intend to show by mentioning Newton and Franklin?

A．Roh’s admiration for them.

B．Roh’s chance discovery about bees.

C．Their outstanding talent for science.

D．Their similar achievements in discovery.

【2】What plays the most vital role in a bee’s moving forward on water?

A．The air weight.

B．Its leg extension.

C．The water movement.

D．Its continuous wing beat.

【3】What’s the author’s attitude towards using this observation?

A．Uncaring.

B．Supportive.

C．Doubtful.

D．Worried.

【4】What does the text mainly tell us?

A．Honeybees can surf to safety.

B．Bees help scientists make inventions.

C．Insects can adapt to the environment.

D．Nature is a helpful guide for discovery.

22、When I was a boy there were no smartphones, and our television only got one channel clearly.Still, I was never bored.The fields, hills, and woodlands around my home were the perfect playground.I can remember once hiking to a nearby lake.At the backside of it I was amazed to find an old dirt road that I had never seen before.It was full of muddy tracks and deep woods bordered it on both sides, but exploring it still seemed like a fine adventure.

I walked on and on for hours.I was sure my guardian angel was whispering in my ear “Turn around and head back home”， but I was stubborn, so I walked on.There was still neither a car nor a house in sight.I noticed that the sun was starting to go down and I grew scared.I didn’t want to end up trapped on this road, and I was worried that it would be dark before I could make my way back to the lake again.

I continued to walk on with something growing inside of me.My heart was pounding and my legs were aching.I was almost in tears when I turned one last curve and saw something in the distance.It was a house that I recognized.I jumped up and down and laughed out loud.It was still over a mile away but my legs felt like feathers and I hurried back to my house in no time.I walked in with a big smile on my face just in time for dinner.

I remembered this recently when I saw a sign that said “All roads lead home”．It is true.In life, all roads, no matter how they twist and turn, can lead us home again.What is important, though, is how we travel them.Are we going to go forth in fear or are we going to go forth in faith? Are we going to make this life a terrible trip or are we going to make this life a joyful journey? The choice is ours.

23、In October, I told the eight-year-olds in the class I teach in Pompton Lakes, New Jersey, about my plan. “Since all of you have done extra jobs around the house to earn some money,” I said. “Then we’ll buy food for a Thanksgiving dinner for someone who might not have a nice dinner otherwise.”

I watched them while they walked up and down the supermarket. “Flowers!” Kristine cried. The group rushed toward the holiday plants.

“You can’t eat flowers.”——It was more sensible(明智的) to use any extra money to buy something that could be transformed(转换，转变) into meals.

“But Mrs. Sherlock,” came the begging voice, “we want flowers.”

Defeated finally, I put a pot of “funny” purple(紫色的) mums in the cart full of foods. “She’ll like this one,” the children agreed.

An organization had given us the name and address of a needy grandmother who had lived alone for many years. We finally pulled up in front of a small house. A slightly built woman with a weary face came to the door to welcome us.

My little group ran to get the food. As each box was carried in, the old woman kept on saying “Thanks”—much to her visitors’ pleasure. When Amy put the mums on the counter, the woman seemed surprised. She’s wishing it was a bag of flour(面粉), I thought.

We returned to the car. As we fastened our seat belts, we could see the kitchen window. The woman inside waved goodbye, then turned and walked across the room, past the turkey, past the goods, straight to the mums. She put her face in their petal. When she raised her head, there was a smile on her lips. She was transformed before our eyes.

The children were quiet. At that moment, they had seen for themselves the power they possessed(拥有) to make another’s life better. The children had sensed(感到) that sometimes a person needs a bunch of funny purple flowers on a dark November day.

【1】What does the story mainly tell us?

C. flower.   D. gift.

【3】Why does the author consider the flowers “funny”?

A. Because the flowers are too ugly.

B. Because the flowers are for children.

C. Because the flowers are too expensive.

D. Because flowers can’t help people in need.

A. God help those who help themselves.

B. A friend in need is a friend indeed.

C. The old woman’s dark day was brightened by children.

D. All the money child earned was transformed to foods.

24、   A Canadian University is trying a new way to help reduce students' exam-time stress: dogs.

Dalhousie University is filling a room on campus with dogs from Dec.4 through Dec.6 for students to visit and play with the animals between exams. The pet room will be open for two hours(9:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m.) on the first two days and for five hours (9:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m.; 1:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.) on the third day. The dogs will be provided by Therapeutic Paws of Canada, a non-profit organization that trains animals to help people with practical needs.

Dalhousie’s student union posted an advertisement for the pet room on its Facebook page and within 24 hours, it was shared nearly 2,000 times. Hundreds of students expressed their excitement over the pet room on the Facebook.

Athea Costello wrote, 'This is the best idea ever! '

Michelle Presse wrote, 'Thank you! I'm so excited. I already feel less stressed now. '

Alumni complained the pet room wasn't offered when they attended this university (this is the first time the school is offering it).

'I think it should be open to alumni. Although we have already finished the exams and graduated, we are still stressed, ' Lola Doucet wrote.

Some dog owners offered up their own pets for the students, but the student union said only trained dogs are allowed to participate.

Dogs have been helping students at a number of U.S. universities, as well.

From Kent State University in Ohio to Macalester College in Minnesota, more and more dogs are around campus during exams to help students relax.

Richelle Reid, a law librarian who started Emory's pet therapy program said, 'it has had positive effects, helping them to just have a moment to clear their minds and not have to think about studies, not to have to think about books. '

At Harvard Medical School and Yale Law School, students can 'rent' pets for some alone time.

【1】When could a student visit the pet room?

A.At 11:30 a.m. on Dec. 6

B.At 8:00 a.m. on Dec. 5

C.At 3:00 p.m. on Dec. 6

D.At 3:00 p.m. on Dec. 5

【2】From the comments on the blog, we can know ____.

A.someone has already felt the effects of animals
