21、   The Cassini-Huygens space probe, which reached Saturn last week has sent back amazing photographs of the planet's famous rings viewed in ultraviolet light. 【1】 The different colors show exactly what the rings are. The red means the ring contains tiny pieces of rock and the blue and green is likely to be a mixture of water and frozen gases. 【2】 That's why it is so light and it could float on water—if a big enough ocean could be found!

【3】 It aims to explore the planet and its rings and moons. It was launched in 1997 and its mission was to explore the “gas giant” planet, which is the furthest planet to be seen from the Earth without a telescope.

Scientists say the spacecrafts four-year tour of Saturn may tell them how the rings are formed. 【4】

The probe has sent back pictures of some of Saturn's moons, including Phoebe and Titan. Phoebe has a strange shape. 【5】 Saturn's biggest moon, Titan, is believed to be the only body in the solar system other than the Earth with liquid on the surface. The images of Phoebe and Titan look strangely like photos of the Earth and our own moon, taken decades ago by the earliest space missions.

A．Saturn itself is made of gases.

B．The pictures are hard to take in space.

C．The probe is an international space project.

D．They will discover more secrets about the spacecraft.

E．The pictures show them in shades of blue, green and red.

F．It will also study the planet's atmosphere and magnetic field.

G．Unlike other planets and their moons, it is not perfectly round.

23、Korea

While many Koreans prefer Western-style weddings in which the bride wears a while wedding dress, some couples are still carrying out the “Pyebaek” – a Korean wedding custom.

The Pyebaek is held after the official ceremony, and is when the bride pays respects to her parents-in-law for the first time. The new couple bow deeply before the parents, and they exchange jujube(枣) and chestnuts(栗子) — symbols for children and good fortune.

  —Sujean Park, HuffPost Korea

Japan

  For Japanese weddings, it’s customary for guests to bring cash as a gift for the new couples. The amount depends on the guest’s relationship to the couple — on average, friends would give $300, and family members may give up to $ 1,000.

The bills should be unfolded, freshly printed. They’re typically put in a special envelops signed by the guest. Guests leave the envelopes at a reception desk at the ceremony and receive wedding favors in return.

  —Ryan Takeshita, HuffPost Japan

Brazil

In Brazilian weddings, the best man cuts the groom’s tie into several pieces and sells them to the wedding guests at whatever price they choose to pay for it. The money that’s collected usually goes toward the couple’s honeymoon.

Brazilian weddings wouldn’t be complete without pastries called “bem-casados”, or “happily married”. These are tiny sweet cakes with a condensed milk (炼乳) filling that are meant to bring good luck to the new couples.

24、For humans, the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic were a stressful time, marked by fear, isolation(隔离), canceled plans and uncertainty. But for birds that inhabit developed areas of the Pacific Northwest, the reduction in noise due to pandemic lock downs allowed them to use a wider range of habitats in cities.

A new University of Washington study led by Olivia Sander foot reported that many birds were just as likely to be found in highly developed urban areas as they were in less-developed green spaces during the peak of the COVID-19 lock downs.

“Our findings suggest that some birds may have been able to use more spaces in cities because our human footprint was a little lighter,” said Sander foot. “For about half of the species we observed, neither land use nor canopy cover(林冠盖度)had an effect on their site use. That’s very interesting, because we had expected that whether a habitat was mostly covered in concrete or vegetation could tell us something about what birds would be there.”

In the spring of 2020, Sander foot and her colleagues invited more than 900 community scientists in the Pacific Northwest to participate in the study. The volunteers chose their own monitoring sites—mostly backyards and parks where they could safely follow public health orders—and recorded the birds they observed over a 10-minute period at least once a week.

In order to compare the volunteers’ bird observations with human activity, Sander foot and her colleagues used data from Google’s Community Mobility Reports, which track the relative amount of people moving around at various points during the pandemic. While most people spent the spring of 2020 isolated in their homes, many began venturing out again over the course of the study period.

As people returned to public spaces and human activity increased, the study volunteers recorded an increase in sightings of several bird species in their monitoring sites.

“The birds mostly were in highly developed urban areas at the height of the lock downs, because human activity wasn’t as much of a disturbance, but then returned to those vegetated areas as human activity increased again,” Sander foot said.

【1】What benefit could birds get during the pandemic lock downs?

A．Gaining more human attention.

B．Living in a lively environment.

C．Expanding their living places.

D．Returning to vegetated areas.

【2】What can we learn from Sander foot’s words in paragraph 3?

A．Birds actually dislike living in big cities.

B．It is very difficult to identify bird species.

C．The findings aren’t what he expected.

D．Human footprint hardly affects bird species.

【3】What did Sander foot and her colleagues do for their study?

A．They got community scientists involved in it.

B．They tracked human activity for a whole year.

C．They chose monitoring sites for the volunteers.

D．They only observed birds in less-developed areas.

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．The Influence of the Pandemic on Humans

B．The Impact of Human Activity on Green Spaces

C．How Birds Adapt Themselves to Uncertainty

D．Birds’ Habitat Change During the Pandemic

26、Directions: Read the following three passages. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.

On an October afternoon last year, James Vernon, 76, was supervising a youth chess club meeting in a conference room in the Morton Public Library in Morton, Illinois. About 16 kids, aged seven to twelve, quietly faced off at two horizontal rows of tables, and James walked from pair to pair, overseeing the matches and offering tips. Four mothers sat off to the side, waiting for their kids to finish the weekly hour-long session.

Suddenly, a stocky teenager wearing glasses burst through the door at the front of the room JTm gonna kill some people!" he yelled.

At first, James, who was standing in the aisle between the tables, thought the bizarre sight was a Halloween prank, but then he saw the five-inch hunting knives that the teenager was holding in each hand. The teen, whom police later identified as Dustin Brown, 19, shouted incoherently and began cutting his left forearm with one of die knives. "As soon as I saw those knives and he started shouting, I knew this wasn't a prank/9 says James. UI thought I can't let something terrible happen."

James, a former computer-systems architect, spent 44 months in the US Army from 1962 to 1966. He had been trained in hand-to-hand combat, but he decided not to do that and to attempt to calm the boy instead by talking to him. "Hey, who are you?" “Where do you go to school? What's the problem?" James asked the boy. "Let's talk about this. I'll listen."

“My life is terrible, Dustin replied as he peered down at the floor and continued to cut his arm. While James talked to Dustin on one side of the room, Sandy Rassi, 40, the mother of three of the chess students, stood up on the other side. When she heard James say, "It's about time for these kids to head home," she motioned silently for the children to quietly leave the room one by one.

When Dustin finally looked up, he saw that the chairs were empty, and he lunged at James.

“I think he attacked me because I was the only one   left,”  says James.

Dustin swung the knife toward the man's neck and face, but James caught the blade with his left hand. With his hand bleeding, James continued to fight. He grabbed the necklace Dustin was wearing with his right hand and jerked him forward. Then James pinned the boy onto a table on his left side, hitting the right side of his collarbone with his uninjured fist. "I was trying to get him to drop the knives," says James.

It worked. Dustin let go of both weapons, and James kept the attacker under control until Morton police officers arrived a few minutes later.
