21、Scientists found a single dose of the protein Hila worked on lab rats. They said it showed “great promise as a future stroke treatment” but had not yet been tested in human trials.

The researchers travelled to Fraser Island in Australia to hunt for and capture three potentially deadly Australian funnel web spiders. They then took the spiders back to their laboratory “for milking”.

This involved coaxing the spider into releasing its venom, which can then be sucked up using pipettes(吸管). The scientists make a careful study of a protein in the venom and recreated a version of it in their lab.

They then injected this Hila into the lab rats. They found that the protein blocked acid-sensing ion channels in the brain-something the researchers say are key drivers of brain damage after stroke.

Professor Glenn King, who led the research, said, “We believe that we have, for the first time, found a way to minimize the effects of brain damage after a stroke. Hila even provides some protection to the core brain region most affected by oxygen deprivation, which is generally considered unrecoverable due to the rapid cell death caused by stroke.”

Dr. Kate Holmes, deputy director for Research at the Stroke Association, said, “We welcome any treatment that has the potential to reduce the damage caused by stroke, particularly if this can benefit people who are unable to arrive at hospital quickly.”

A stroke is a brain attack that happens when the blood supply to part of the brain is cut off or there is bleeding on the brain. Every two seconds, someone in the world will have a stoke. Stroke is the second most common cause of death, causing about6.7million deaths each year, one every five seconds. Almost one in every eight deaths is caused by stroke.

【1】Which of the following is the last step of the research?

A．Inject the protein into lab rats.

B．Obtain the deadly spiders’ venom.

C．Catch three deadly spiders.

D．Recreate a version of the protein.

【2】What does the underlined word in the third paragraph probably mean?

A．Forcing.

B．Trapping.

C．Requiring.

D．Feeding.

【3】What is the main idea of the whole passage?

A．It is significant to acquire a medicine for stroke.

B．A promising cure for stroke is probably on the way.

C．Spiders are contributing to the treatment of strokes.

D．Stroke is the second biggest killer of in the world.

【4】What purpose does the last paragraph serve?

23、The malls were filled with people seeking gifts for their loved ones. Some of the malls remained open around the clock, partly to satisfy our needs to buy gifts.

Behind the materialistic aspect of shopping for gifts lies the idea of caring, being attentive to the desires of special people in our lives. However, to use a well-worn play on words: it is our presence, not our presents, that truly counts. Many of us, unfortunately, can be so inattentive, even in the presence of our loved ones, that we might as well not be there at all.

Attention is one of the greatest gifts we can give each other. Companies around the globe spend billions every year on advertising to catch our attention for just a short moment at a time. Whole industries — media, entertainment, education — rely on the precious gift of our attention for their continued existence. A baby lacking attention for a long time is likely to be psychologically unhealthy.

In earlier times, both diet and attention could be left unregulated (没人管的) without major cause for concern. There were natural checks and balances: limited availability of food meant few got fat, for example. Similarly, in bygone times we might have spent a few hours communicating with the village storyteller; today, watching an entire TV series, while speaking to nobody, is common. In traditional societies, with smaller population, everyone would get a fair deal of attention. On many issues we might go to see Grandma or Grandpa; now we have Google and Wikipedia.

“She just wants attention.” people tend to think little of those doing things simply for attention. But the truth is that human beings need attention, and giving attention to each other is, to a large extent, what human civilization is based upon. This perhaps explains the runaway success of social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook. While we use such sites for “micro Hogging”, “idea voicing” and “status updates” — the reality is that we are often doing no more or less than fulfilling our basic human drive for attention exchange.

I friend you, you friend me, I retweet you, you retweet me. The charming ease with which we can now get and give attention is why many people appear overly attached to their smart phones. It is also a vicious (恶性的) circle. As ever more people are busy exchanging attention online, there is increasingly less attention to be paid in the real world, which forces more people to seek their attention exchange online, or else risk attention-starvation.

The very nature of attention exchange is being rapidly transformed, and there is a danger that some of us will develop unhealthy practices. Just as eating red meat every day is a bad idea, so it is with too much attention exchange. The biological consequences of our technological advancement in food production are highly visible; heart disease, diabetes and obesity. The consequences of our transformed attention exchanges will be psychological and social, and so may take longer to identify, but they will be equally damaging.

Face-to-face attention is becoming rarer, and therefore more valuable. In a sense it is priceless. And it is a gift that can be given all-year-round.

【1】People use social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook to ________.

A. obtain information

B. give attention to others

C. voice their opinions

D. notice and get noticed

【2】What can we infer from Paragraphs 6-7?

A. More people will risk attention-starvation in future.

B. The nature of attention exchange is rarely changed.

C. Technological advancement contributes to all diseases.

D. Transformed attention exchanges do harm to society.

【3】The writer’s purpose for writing the passage is to ________.

A. advocate more focus on real life attention

B. analyze the necessity of attention giving

C. give practical tips on attention exchange

D. recommend some social networking sites

24、   It’s easy to think that the globe’s vast oceans would be effective barriers to the movement of land animals. An elephant can’t swim across the Pacific, after all. But it turns out that plenty of plants and animals have unintentionally floated across oceans from one continent to another. Now comes evidence that tiny, trapdoor spiders (蜘蛛) made such a journey millions of years ago.

Moggridgea rainbowi spiders can be found on Kangaroo Island, which sits off the south coast of Australia. These spiders build a silk-lined hole in the ground, notes Sophie Harrison, a biologist in Australia. The hole and trapdoor provide these spiders with shelter and protection. It also provides them an out-of-sight spot from which to wait for approaching creatures.

There is evidence, though, that the ancestors of them might have traveled millions of meters to get to Australia from Africa. That isn’t as unlikely as it might at first seem. Australia used to be connected to other continents, long ago, as part of a supercontinent called Gondwana. And humans have been known to transport species all over the planet. But there’s a third option. The spiders might have rafted (乘筏) long distances across the sea.

To figure out which story was most likely true, Harrison and her colleagues looked at the spider’s genes. They looked at the genes in seven Moggridgea rainbowi spiders from Kangaroo, and five species of Moggridgea spiders from South Africa. The Australian and African spiders split off from a common ancestor some 2 million to 16 million years ago, the genes showed.

If a large swatch of land washes into the sea, filled with arachnids (蛛形纲动物), the spiders may be able to hide themselves throughout the journey. Plus, they can “hold their breath” and survive on stored oxygen during periods of temporary flooding, the researchers note.

【1】What is the common belief about land animals according to the text?

A.They are sensitive to natural disasters.

B.They are unlikely to move across oceans.

C.They can’t make a long ocean voyage.

D.They float across oceans accidentally.

【2】What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A.Biologists. B.Australians.

C.The spiders. D.The creatures.

【3】How did the researchers conclude Australian and African spiders are from a common ancestor?

A.By comparing their genes.

B.By observing their living habits.

C.By making changes to their genes.

D.By studying their physical characteristics.

【4】What could be the best title for the text?

A.These Spiders Traveled Globally to Hide Themselves

B.These Spiders Became More Adaptive When Traveling

C.These Spiders Crossed an Ocean to Australia for Survival

D.These Spiders Crossed an Ocean to Become Australians naturally

25、Scientists say record heat has cost reef half of corals

The Great Barrier Reef, one of the earth's most precious habitats, lost half of its coral populations in the last quarter-century, a decline that researchers in Australia said would continue unless drastic action is taken to reduce the effects of climate change.

Colony sizes were smaller, there were fewer “big mamas," or older large corals that produce baby corals; and there were fewer of those babies, which are vital to the reefs future ability to_________. "Our results show the ability of the Great Barrier Reef to recover — its resilience (恢复力) — is weakened_________ the past, because there are fewer babies, and fewer large breeding adults," Dr. Andy Dietzel, the lead author of the study, said in a statement.

_________ a process in which corals turn white as water temperatures rise — contributed to sleep losses of Barrier Reef in 2016 and 2017. The southern part of the reef was also_________ to record — setting temperatures in early 2020. Researchers cited climate change as one of the major_________ of disturbances to reef.

“There is no time to_________ they said in a statement. "We must sharply decrease greenhouse gas emissions as soon as possible.”

Researchers were disappointed about what they saw as a lack of attention to the study from government leaders in Australia, the world's biggest coral exporter. The government has _________ calls to reduce carbon emissions even as heat waves, drought and fires continue to reveal the country ,s situation of being hurt by climate change.

The Great Barrier Reef, which _________ a vast array of marine life, has between 300 and 400 coral species and stretches for thousands of kilometers across the Australian coast.

"You can_________ see it from space," said Deron Burkepile. a professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara.

Coral reefs worldwide are ____________ for billions of dollars is tourism and provide habitats for fish that feed close to one billion people on the planet, he said.

“The situation is serious," Professor Burkepile said. But people should not feel ____________ about the future of coral reefs, he said, even as they wait for world leaders to take more ____________ steps to control the effects of climate change.

At the local level, ____________ nitrogen (氮) pollution — which ____________ fading — can be controlled by reducing fertilizer and sewage runoff, according to a study that Professor Burkepile conducted with other researchers at his university. "The other thing that we need to take away is that coral reefs are amazing resilient," he said. "If we don't continually damage them, they will________________.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

I was at Lens Crafters waiting to pick up my new pair of glasses. A mom as well as her little girl walked in. The mom was probably in her late twenties and the little girl was about five.

Both of their clothes were badly dated to say the least. It was obvious that the family’s financial windfall (意外之财) had not yet arrived. I overheard a comment the comment made to the saleslady that she was in between job 1 and job 2 of the day, so she didn't have a lot of time.

The little girl and the mom proceeded around the store looking at these little tiny frames for the girl’s face. The saleslady was helping them try on frames and pulling aside her favorites.

You knew how some little kids actually looked ten times cuter in glasses, and so the little girl did. She found these cute little frames with a butterfly on them. She was so happy, smiling from ear to ear while she looked at herself in the mirror.

The saleslady rang the glasses up on the till (收银台). The mom pulled out a coupon (优惠券), and the saleslady stared blankly at the coupon. She then explained that for some reason this coupon could not be used, pointing out the miniscule (极小的) words printed at the bottom.

Then the mom chatted back and forth for a bit with the saleslady and then finally leaned down to her daughter and explained to her that there would be no glasses that day, maybe next month she said.

The little girl’s eyes started to tear up. The mom leaned a little closer and told her it would be OK and that she needed a little more time to save up for them. The little girl responded, “But Mommy, I can’t see and I want to be able to see when I start school next week. I want to do well, Mommy! What if I’m in the back?”

注意：1．续写词数应为150左右；

2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Seeing this, I quietly called the saleslady over.
