21、   Have you ever wondered what it would be like to work with zoo or aquarium animals? Kylene, an animal care specialist from Sea World San Diego, who cared for the African penguins at SeaWorld for many years.

Over the past several years, the South African penguins have been on the decrease in numbers. A hundred years ago, there were about 1 million African penguins, but since then their population has decreased to under 100 ,000. Scientists predict the population could fall as low as 50 ,000 over the next 20 years if we don't do anything.

Some scientists think the changing ocean temperatures have caused the penguins1 food supply to disappear. Humans have also disturbed the penguins ' wild habitat and collected their eggs. And humans have also been collecting guano (the waste passed from the sea birds' bodies) , which can be added to the soil to make plants grow more successfully. As a result, humans damage their natural nest-digging sites. Without the piles of guano the penguins used to build their nests, they've been forced to nest on open ground.

Some other scientists think the slight increase in air temperature on the islands has had an impact on the penguins' success rate of hatching their eggs. No matter what the reason is, South African penguin population is falling, and scientists need to find a way to stop the decline.

Working with other zoos in the country, Kylene did what she could to help protect the South African penguins. Through Kylene's efforts and the efforts of the people like her at many penguin conservation organizations in South Africa, these little penguins have a chance for a better tomorrow.

【1】What has happened to the South African penguins over the past years?

A.The penguin population has greatly declined.

B.They've begun to lose the habitat completely.

C.They have done great harm to the natural environment.

D.They have been hunted by humans for money-making.

【2】What does the third paragraph mainly about?

A.The importance of penguins' return. B.The causes of penguins' decrease.

C.The efforts of some scientists. D.the necessity of penguins' existence.

【3】What is guano used for by humans?

A.The food supply. B.The building materials.

C.The good shelter. D.The farming fertilizer.

【4】What is the author's attitude towards the future of the South African penguins?

A.Worried. B.Doubtful. C.Hopeful. D.Uncertain.

22、I know it may be hard to convince you, but let me try: Don’t kill the next spider you see in your home.

People like to think of their dwellings as safely separated from the outside world, but many types of spiders can be found inside. Some are accidentally trapped, while others are short-term visitors. Some species even enjoy the great indoors, where they happily live out their lives and make more spiders. These fellows are usually secretive, and almost all you meet are neither aggressive nor dangerous. And they may be providing services like eating pests—some even eat other spiders.

My colleagues and I conducted a visual survey of 50 North Carolina homes. Every single house we visited was home to spiders. The most common species we encountered were cobweb spiders and cellar spiders. Both build webs where they lie in wait for prey(猎物) to get caught. Cellar spiders sometimes leave their webs to hunt other spiders.

Although they are all-around predators(捕食性动物), tending to eat anything they can catch, spiders regularly capture harmful pests and even disease-carrying insects—for example, mosquitoes. There’s even a species of jumping spider that prefers to eat blood-filled mosquitoes in African homes. So killing a spider doesn’t just cost the insect its life; it may take an important predator out of your home.

It’s natural to fear spiders. They have lots of legs and almost all are venomous—though the majority of species have venom(毒液) too weak to cause issues in humans, if their fangs can pierce our skin at all. Even entomologists themselves can fall prey to arachnophobia(蜘蛛恐惧症). I know a few spider researchers who overcame their fear by observing and working with these fascinating creatures. If they can do it, so can you!

【1】What is a common misunderstanding of spiders according to Paragraph 2?

A．They can be trapped easily.

B．They often attack human beings.

C．They are friendly to human beings.

D．They live far away from human beings.

【2】What will happen if you kill a spider in your home?

A．Losing a great assistant.

B．Catching more insects.

C．Developing rare diseases.

D．Rescuing other insects.

【3】How can people get over their fear of spiders?

A．By discovering their habitats.

B．By protecting their skin.

C．By getting along with them.

D．By recognizing their venom.

【4】What does the text suggest people do about spiders?

A．Spare spiders.

B．Monitor spiders.

C．Defeat spiders.

D．Control spiders.

24、Have you ever heard of Paynes Prairie? It is one of the most important natural and historical areas in Florida. Paynes Prairie is located near Gainesville. It is large, 21,000 acres. This protected land is called a preserve. The Florida Park Service manages the preserve.

The Paynes Prairie basin was formed when limestone dissolved and the ground settled. It is covered by marsh(沼泽)and wet prairie vegetation. There are areas of open water. During brief periods it has flooded enough to be considered a lake. Except for that, the basin has changed little through time.

Man has lived on Paynes Prairie a very long time. He lived there as far back as 10,000 B. C. At one time, the Seminoles lived there. The prairie is thought to have been named after King Payne, a Seminole chief. During the late 1600s, the largest cattle ranch in Florida was on Paynes Prairie. Today, Paynes Prairie is preserved land. It is occupied by visitors and Florida Park Service employees.

Willam Bartram visited Paynes Praire. Bartram was the first person who portrayed (described) nature through personal experience as well as scientific observation. He lived 200 years ago. He visited Paynes Prairie in 1774. At that time he described it. He called Paynes Prairie the “great Alachua Savannah.”

Most of the animal life, which Bartram described, is still here. A large number of sandhill cranes, hawks and waterfowl are here in winter. The animal diversity is increased by the presence of pine flatwoods, hammock, swamps and ponds.

The Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park is open year round. The Florida Park Service works hard so that the park will appear as it did in the past. It offers many opportunities for recreation. At the park you can camp and picnic. You can hike and bike. You can boat and fish. You can ride on horse trails. And you can see lots of nature and wildlife. You can see Florida as it was in the early days.

Paynes Prairie is a part of our Florida history. It is an example of our Florida natural resources. It is a place for recreation. Paynes Prairie is an important experience of the Real Florida.
