21、A mouse happened to look through a hole in the wall to see the farmer and his wife open a package. “What food might this contain?” The mouse wondered. But he was sad to discover it was a mousetrap (老鼠夹子).

Back to the farmyard, the mouse announced this warning: “There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!”

The hen clucked (咯咯地叫) and scratched, raised her head and said, “Mr. Mouse, I can tell this is a great concern to you, but it is of no consequence to me. I cannot be bothered by it.”

Then the mouse turned to the pig. The pig sympathized, but said, “I am very sorry, Mr. Mouse, but there is nothing I can do about it but pray. Be assured you are in my prayers.”

Then the mouse turned to the cow and repeated the same words. The cow said, “Moo, Mr. Mouse. I’m sorry for you, but it’s no skin off my nose.”

So, the mouse returned to the house, head down and sadly faced the farmer’s mousetrap alone. That very night a sound was heard throughout the house – the sound of a mousetrap catching its prey (猎物). The farmer’s wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she did not see it. It was a poisonous snake whose tail was caught in the trap. The snake bit the farmer’s wife. The farmer rushed her to the hospital. When she returned home, she still had a fever.

Everyone knows fresh chicken soup is good to treat a fever. So the farmer took his knife to the farmyard. The hen was killed.

But his wife’s sickness continued. Friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock. To feed them, the farmer butchered the pig.

22、   Kleon Papadimitriou, a Greek student, had been stuck in Scotland, where he studies, with no way to return to Athens while flights were shut down. So he decided to take a bike.

He began researching what it would take to make the trip on two wheels. He once competed in a race in 2019 and was briefly trained for several weeks — but that was about all the biking experience he carried with him.

Initially, he thought the idea was more of a “dream”— an absolutely hard long journey. But soon he began purchasing the equipment he'd need. He purchased a bike, and told the news to his parents and friends.

Papadimiriou travelled anywhere between 35 and 75 miles per day, crossing initially through England and then onto the Netherlands. He biked along the Rhine in Germany for several days, passed through Austria and cycled down along the eastern coast of Italy before he took a boat to the Greek port of Patras.

Throughout his trip, he set up camp in fields and forests. He spent the last few moments of each day writing down his progress, tracking the next day's path and checking in with family and friends.

“It's just now dawning on me how big of an achievement this was.” Papadimitriou says of his 48-day journey. “And I did learn a lot of things about myself, about my limits, my strengths and my weaknesses. I really hope that the trip can inspire at least one more person to go out of their comfort zone and try something new, something big.”

【1】What can we infer about Kleon Papadimitriou?

A.He was forced to leave for Scotland on bike. B.He had a few biking experience before.

C.He was a famous cyclist in his hometown. D.He cycled to the Greek port of Patras.

【2】Why did Kleon Papadimitriou consider his idea as a dream at first?

A.Because it seemed challenging to complete the journey.

B.Because he had no riding experience at all before.

C.Because his parents and friends didn't support his plan.

D.Because purchasing the equipment would cost too much.

【3】According to the text, how many countries has Kleon Papadimiriou been to during the trip?

A.2. B.4. C.6. D.8.

【4】What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?

A.Kleon Papadimitriou hardly communicated with his friends during the trip.

B.It took Kleon Papadimitriou 48 days to return to Greece.

C.Kleon Papadimitriou learned a lot of things about nature from the trip.

D.Many people have been inspired by Kleon Papadimiriou's story.

23、   When scientists go to a forest to study monkeys and their habits and behaviors, how do they know who's who?

In the past, scientists had to make marks on each of the animals to tell them apart. But in the future, they may have a much easier way to tell them apart thanks to facial recognition technology.

A research team from China's Northwest University is using facial recognition technology to identify thousands of snub-nosed monkeys that live on Qinling Mountain in Shanxi province.

Similar to human facial recognition, the technology that is used to identify monkeys uses their facial features to create a database that includes every monkey, Xinhua reported.

"When the system is fully developed, we can connect it with cameras set up in the mountains. The system will automatically recognize the monkeys, name them and analyze their behavior," said Zhang He, a member of the research team.

"For each snub-nosed monkey, we have 700 to 800 image samples, and the recognition success rate is 94 percent, Zhang added.

"We used mobile phones and portable cameras with the monkeys in tests at distances ranging from about 3 to 10 meters," said He Gang, also a member of the research team. "With its help, we don't need to disturb the monkeys while studying them."

Compared to humans, facial recognition technology for monkeys is more difficult because of their hairier faces. The color of their hair causes them to blend (融入) into their environment. These factors make it harder for computers to identify them.

Currently, there are about 4,000 snub-nosed monkeys living on Qinling Mountain. The team's goal is to successfully identify every monkey that lives there.

【1】What problem did scientists face in the past while studying monkeys?

A．How to mark them.

B．How to tell them apart.

C．How to understand their behavior.

D．How to observe them clearly.

【2】What does the article tell us about facial recognition technology for monkeys?

A．It is now widely used in China.

B．It works better than human facial recognition.

C．It will use monkeys' behavior to create a database.

D．It can help scientists study monkeys without disturbing them.

【3】What do the underlined words "these factors" in paragraph 8 refer to?

a. Image samples.

b. Hairy faces.

c. Hair color.

d. The environment.

A．ab

B．ac

C．bc

D．bd

【4】What is the author's main purpose in writing the article?

A．To introduce a new way to identify monkeys.

B．To show the importance of studying monkeys.

C．To compare different ways to identify monkeys.

D．To explain difficulties in developing a new system.
