21、Hannah Huxford met the fry-stealing gull (海鸥) in Bridlington, a coastal town on the Yorkshire coast. Huxford took the well-timed photo on her iPhone in 2012 and it went viral soon after. A decade later, the fry-stealing gull is appearing on billboards, as part of an advertising campaign for Google.

Researchers recently discovered that food may actually become more attractive to gulls when the birds watch humans handling it first, according to a 2020 study published in the journal Royal Society Open Science.

Because the birds seem to be attracted to food that they’ve watched humans touch, another of the study’s authors, says that it’s even more important to properly throw food waste and snack wrappers (包装纸) in the trash. “Gulls are more likely to approach food that they have seen people drop or put down, so they may associate (联想)areas where people are eating with an easy meal,” Dr. Laura Kelley said.

The scientists approached 74 gulls in coastal towns in Cornwall, tempting(诱惑) them with bags of fried potatoes. Only 19 gulls were curious or hungry enough to linger (逗留), allowing the scientists to place the bag on the ground and go back a short distance away, waiting to see if a gull would approach.

Their experiments showed that gulls were more cautious about approaching a tempting treat if there was a person nearby who was watching them closely. However, the scientists also found that far fewer of the birds than expected showed interest in investigating the food at all when being stared at.

In fact, people may be able to protect their lunches from gulls by avoiding areas where the birds tend to gather and keeping a closer eye on their meals, she added. “Gulls have a bad reputation but, like all animals, they are just trying to survive,” Goumas said. “We can try to ease the conflict we have with them by making changes in our own behavior.”

【1】What did gulls prefer according to the study?

A．Photos taken by people.

B．Areas full of food waste.

C．Snack wrappers in the trash.

D．Food that visitors are eating.

【2】What can we know about gulls from the scientists’ experiments?

A．They don’t like the food left over by humans.

B．They approach the treat when they are hungry.

C．They are interested in eating food with humans.

D．They probably won’t eat the treat when being watched.

【3】What’s Goumas’s attitude to the action of the fry-stealing gull?

A．Critical.

B．Sympathetic.

C．Skeptical.

D．Indifferent.

22、When you’re meeting someone for the first time, you want to leave him or her a good impression. 【1】 However, it’s not just your mouth doing the talking — the way you hold yourself is just as important. Here are some tips on body language to show positivity and kindness in communication with others.

Nod and smile when appropriate. These nonverbal signs can show the other person that you’re fully involved in what he or she is saying, and in agreement. Try nodding three times to show that you’re really absorbing what she is saying. 【2】 If you turn up the corners of your mouth but your eyes stay the same, you could come off as insincere.

【3】 Don’t be obvious, but try to match her body language and facial expression. By doing this, you’ll help the other person feel comfortable toward you. This mirroring technique has even been shown to increase a person’s good will toward the person mirroring her. If she’s leaning on a wall, lean on the wall. If she has crossed her arms, cross your arms. 【4】

Laugh truly. Even if you’re in a formal setting, if the other person has clearly said something that was intended to raise a laugh, laugh! 【5】 And this can also show her that you’re listening to what she is saying. Avoid laughing out of nerves or because you have nothing to say.

A．Always keep your arms crossed.

B．Mirror the person you’re speaking with.

C．It’s an easy technique that can often pay off.

D．Show him or her that you have a sense of humor.

E．Avoid touching your hair or adjusting your clothing.

F．When it comes to smiling, make sure it reaches your eyes!

G．You want to say all the perfect things at all the right times.

23、   When learning English, most people felt uncomfortable about speaking. They could remember lots of words and knew grammar rules, but speaking was difficult. Here are some ideas that are from some people’s experience.

Don’t worry about making mistakes. 【1】 Actually, other people will still know your meaning and they probably won’t notice your mistakes.

Use every chance you get to speak. 【2】For example, it’s a good idea to use only English in class and not to speak to your classmates in your own language. At home, you should also try practicing new words and grammar learnt in class.

Think about extra speaking practice outside the classroom. You can join a conversation group, such as the chat groups in the study centre.【3】 Or you can go to the English Corner and speak English with others.

【4】 With the development of Internet, online study provides us with more chances to study English. There are lots of websites where you can communicate with someone from all around the world.

Be confident to speak aloud. Many people are shy and they can’t speak English with confidence. However, language is a tool for us to express and make others understand us. We just need to speak what we want to express, and not take much care about others’ opinions. 【5】
