21、(题文)After years of heated debate, gray wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park. Fourteen wolves were caught in Canada and transported to the park. By last year, the Yellowstone wolf population had grown to more than 170 wolves.
Gray wolves once were seen here and there in the Yellowstone area and much of the continental United States, but they were gradually displaced by human development. By the 1920s, wolves had practically disappeared from the Yellowstone area. They went farther north into the deep forests of Canada, where there were fewer humans around.
The disappearance of the wolves had many unexpected results. Deer and elk populations — major food sources (来源) for the wolf — grew rapidly. These animals consumed large amounts of vegetation (植被), which reduced plant diversity in the park. In the absence of wolves, coyote populations also grew quickly. The coyotes killed a large percentage of the park’s red foxes, and completely drove away the park’s beavers.
As early as 1966, biologists asked the government to consider reintroducing wolves to Yellowstone Park. They hoped that wolves would be able to control the elk and coyote problems. Many farmers opposed the plan because they feared that wolves would kill their farm animals or pets.
The government spent nearly 30 years coming up with a plan to reintroduce the wolvers. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service carefully monitors and manages the wolf packs in Yellowstone. Today, the debate continues over how well the gray wolf is fitting in at Yellowstone. Elk, deer, and coyote populations are down, while beavers and red foxes have made a comeback. The Yellowstone wolf project has been a valuable experiment to help biologists decide whether to reintroduce wolves to other parts of the country as well.
What is the text mainly about?
A. Wildlife research in the United States.
B. Plant diversity in the Yellowstone area.
C. The conflict between farmers and gray wolves.
D. The reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone Park.
22、Picture the scene: You come home after work feeling too exhausted to cook –only to find a delicious meal worthy of a Michelin-starred restaurant waiting for you. It sounds like a fantasy, but it could be about to come true thanks to a robot chef developed by British scientists.
Those scientists have come up with a set of robotic arms so smart that they are capable of cooking meals all by themselves. The device will be sold from as early as 2017 as part of a purpose-built high-tech kitchen.
Scientists at Moley Robotics spent almost 18 years developing the hands. According to its creators, the arms can chop, stir, whisk and baste well enough to recreate almost anything you would care to eat, whether it is a simple home-cooked supper, or a complicated creation designed by a world-class chef. The hands move a little slowly, hovering strangely above the work surface whenever they are not busy, but they imitate human movements closely enough that they can do things such as wiping a spoon on the edge of a pan to prevent drips.
Mr. Oleynik, who is leading the project, said, “All the things which are possible with the hand are possible here. There is no limitation. A lot of people want to go to Michelin-starred restaurants, but they are quite expensive and may be quite far from the home. This is an opportunity for people to enjoy very good food, and for a reasonable price. ”
The only cuisine that is off the robot’s menu at the moment is sushi, which requires extremely steady pressure and nimble fingers to make, but the team plan to conquer that as well by the time it goes on sale.
【1】People go to Michelin-starred restaurants in order to______.
A. appreciate car tires. B. escape from work
C. see the new robot chefs D. enjoy delicious meals
【2】What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. British scientists B. Household wives
C. Cooks at restaurants D. The robot chef’s arms
【3】Which kind of food CAN’T the robot chef cook at present?
A. Sushi B. Beef C. Bread D. Sandwich
【4】What can we infer from the passage?
A. Hands of a robot chef can perform exactly like a cook.
B. It is uncertain when the robot can cook all kinds of food.
C. Michelin-starred restaurants are suitable for many people.
D. Robot chefs are available at shopping malls.
23、All over the world, barbershops not only fuel their local economies, but also bring people together. So when the COVID-19 broke out three years ago and the community fell on hard times, Chris Bossio knew just what to do. Chris opened a barbershop called Headlines, where people could come together for a hair cut, having some conversations meanwhile.
Later, Chris volunteered his free time to teach other barbers new techniques.
Impressed by his down-to-earth, easy-to-understand lessons, one of his business partners convinced him to upload them on Tiktok (抖音).
That was when things really took off. The videos earned him a large number of subscribers and as Chris kept creating more, he saw his subscribers turn into clients. The freshmen in the line flooded in to exchange professional opinions and sharpen the skills, while residents from the community came for a moment of peace, hence building a deeper bond.
Business was booming but Chris didn’t stop here.
When he started Headlines, his initial goal was just to open five barbershops within five years. But as time went by, he was determined to share his success, focusing most of his time on empowering barbers. He held workshops where he trained barbers on not only the business of barbering, but also how to establish their brands. Once, his workshop attracted over 300 attendees. Many of his students have become successful barbers themselves, including about 40 who have opened their own shops in the area. “These shops serve as places where community cultures really come together and come to life, ” he said. It was a dream come true for Chris.
He also saw opportunities popping up as his channel grew. He started making a shaving gel (凝胶). It was another huge hit. He immediately launched a production line, creating a certain number of jobs in the community. Though the economy was in decline, he could sell10, 000 products per month in 15 countries. It’s also been a lifeline during the COVID-19 epidemic (疾病流行) , when hundreds of barbershops were forced to shut down. Without it, Chris’ business, as well as his employees, couldn’t have survived.
【1】What was Chris Bossio’s original purpose of opening Headlines?
A.To earn money for the poor in the community.
B.To ease people’s tension during the epidemic.
C.To have conversations with other people.
D.To teach other barbers new techniques.
【2】What does the underlined word “That” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A.Sharing new techniques.
B.Opening a barbershop.
C.Posting videos online.
D.Giving new barbers lessons.
【3】What was an outcome of Chris’ workshops?
A.People established a closer bond there.
B.Chris’ students all became successful barbers.
C.Chris’ contribution was recognized across the world.
D.Many barbers benefited a great deal from them.
【4】Which of the following best describes Chris Bossio?
A.Helpful and creative.
B.Ambitious and patient.
C.Generous and thoughtful.
D.Positive and energetic.
