21、Nature has a lot to offer. 【1】 Here are some valuable life lessons.
Respect your roots. With time, a young tree grows into fullgrown one; something that was so tiny and delicate develops into a strong tree capable of supporting others. However tall it grows, its roots are firmly buried where it once rose. 【2】 Hopefully, we ought to give something back to those humble beginnings that developed us into who we are.
Let sorrow disappear. If you cut a hole in the tree, it will grow around it. Whatever may come in its way, a river will continue to flow. Similarly, whatever sorrow may break your heart, know that life goes on.【3】
Learn to coexist peacefully. Nature provides every creature a chance to exist, however big or small it may be. 【4】 The tiger eats the antelope; without the antelope, the tiger wouldn’t survive. Likewise, without tigers, the overpopulation of antelopes would cause them to starve to death.
【5】 Just like the icy cold snow melts in the warmth of spring to give birth to fresh green leaves, when autumn comes these leaves age into shades of gold only to be once again buried in the cold winter. Change is unavoidable. It is important that we enjoy what we have to the fullest because who knows how long it will last. Meanwhile, we shouldn’t get so attached to things that parting leads to heartbreak and sorrow.
What to learn from nature is limitless. Respect, admire her and imitate her ways into your life.
A．Change is the only constant.
B．She inspires creatures to challenge themselves.
C．We should learn to respect and hold on to our origins.
D．Some of these animals are now in danger of extinction.
E．She teaches us values that may lead to a full and happy life.
F．The pain will weaken and enable you to grow in the process.
G．But the existence of one creature depends on the existence of the other.
22、Scientists in Israel have taught goldfish an unusual way to reach a target — by driving a small robotic car on dry land.
Six goldfish, regardless of their weight and size, took part in the experiment and were taught to drive in 30-minute sessions, conducted three times a week, every two days. The experiment was led by researchers at the Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. They wanted to see if goldfish’s ability to navigate depends on their natural environment, or if they could navigate even under very unusual conditions.
To test the goldfish, the researchers created a special robotic car that could drive forward, backward, and from side to side. The scientists called the car a Fish Operated Vehicle (FOV).
Goldfish was placed inside a water tank on the FOV. Using a special system, the car tracked where the goldfish was and what direction it was swimming in. The FOV would then automatically move in the same direction. To prevent the goldfish from getting stuck in barriers such as walls, researchers equipped the car with lidar. The researchers tested them by placing the car in a small room with a pink target on one side — that was where the fish were supposed to arrive. The fish were rewarded with food when achieving the task.
The fish did indeed learn to drive the FOV, becoming more skillful in its operation overtime both in terms of achieving tasks and in the time taken to complete that task. The researchers wanted to check that the fish weren’t just memorizing a set of movements to earn a reward, so they repeated some tests with a new starting position or added other targets that were a different color. They found the goldfish were able to deal with those changes.
Though the experiment showed that the fish were able to navigate to a target, it’s not likely that the fish knew they were controlling a car. The researchers say that in the future it may be possible to change the FOV to test these ideas.
【1】What did the researchers do before testing the goldfish?
A．They fed them.
B．They numbered them.
C．They trained them.
D．They weighed them.
【2】How did the goldfish get their reward in the experiment?
A．By making the FOV move forward.
B．By avoiding the car being stuck.
C．By mixing the target’s colors.
D．By having the car reach the target.
【3】What did the researchers discover about the goldfish?
A．They were born with the ability to remember.
B．They could recognize the color’s changes.
C．They were curious about new environments.
D．They could understand simple words.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Goldfish Learn to Drive on Land
B．Scientists Teach Fish Navigation Skills
C．Goldfish Know How to control the FOV
D．Scientists Help Goldfish Find Destinations
23、 An electric flying vehicle called Skai was shown yesterday near Los Angeles, California. Skai is made by Alaka’i Technologies. The vehicle has six rotors（旋翼）on the roof and seats inside for five people.
Like a drone（无人机）, the vehicle from Alaka’i Technologies takes off and lands vertically（垂直地）. It’s one of many similar electric flying vehicles in production, including ones from Boeing and Airbus. But most of them are powered by batteries, which can add a lot of weight. The Skai instead uses very light hydrogen fuel cells to run its rotors, giving it a range of 400 miles（644 kilometers）and the capacity to carry 1,000 pounds（454 kilograms）in people or goods, the company says.
Alaka’i says it’s planning a test flight near its Massachusetts headquarters. It will be flown by an on ⁃ board pilot（飞行员）, but the technology exists to eventually fly it remotely and even autonomously. However, it will be years before the Federal Aviation Administration（FAA）allows the autonomous flight of passenger vehicles, said Thaddeus Lightfoot, who helps companies navigate FAA rules.
“Drone⁃ like vehicles such as the Skai must first simply prove their airworthiness, like any common plane. After that, getting commercial certification is another complex process. The technology is interesting, but the regulatory road will be very long,”said Lightfoot, adding that the idea of allowing people to fly in a large aircraft without a pilot is“well outside the current regulatory system.”
Hanvey, CEO of Alaka’i Technologies, said that it could take at least a decade before the company realizes his goal of electric flying vehicles ferrying passengers over major cities at nearly 120 mph. Before that, he hopes to see Skai aircraft used by first responders to send in food or water following disasters like hurricanes or wildfires. It could also serve as a mobile cell tower, staying in the sky for up to 10 hours over a neighborhood to provide communication services, he said.
【1】What is the advantage of the Skai?
A.It is quite light. B.It uses batteries.
C.It carries more people. D.It lands autonomously.
【2】What can we infer about the pilotless flight of passenger vehicles?
A.It costs a lot.
B.It saves energy.
C.It is not readily available now.
D.It will soon get approved by FAA.
【3】According to Thaddeus Lightfoot, what should the Skai do first?
A.Prove its safety to fly. B.Conduct a test flight.
C.Get a commercial license. D.Obey the International Air Law.
【4】Where is the Skai probably first used according to Hanvey?
A.In the countryside. B.In some major cities.
C.In mountainous areas. D.In disaster⁃stricken areas.
24、 I was doing some last-minute shopping when I saw a nicely dressed little girl looking through the Barbie dolls with a roll of money in her little hand. When she came upon a Barbie she liked, she asked her father if she had enough money to buy it. He usually said “ yes”, but she would keep looking and going through their conversation of “ Do I have enough?”
Then a little boy in worn clothes wandered in the aisle (过道). He kept picking up the Pokemon video toys. Each time he picked one up and looked at his father, his father shook his head, “ No.” Rather dejectedly, the boy had to give up on the video games.
The little girl put her Barbie back on the shelf, and ran over to the Pokemon games. She excitedly picked up one and raced toward the check-out, after speaking with her father. I picked up my purchases and got in line behind them.
After the toy was paid for and bagged, the little girl handed it back to the cashier and whispered something in her ear. The cashier smiled and put the package under the counter. I paid for my purchases and was rearranging things in my purse when the little boy came up to the cashier. The cashier said, “ Congratulations, you are my hundredth customer today, and you win a prize!” With that, she handed the little boy the Pokemon game, and he could only stare in disbelief. It was exactly what he had wanted!
The little girl and her father had been standing at the doorway during all of this, and I saw the biggest, prettiest, toothless smile on that little girl. As I walked back to my car in amazement over what I had just witnessed, I heard the father ask his daughter why she had done that.
“ Daddy, didn’t Nana and Pawpaw want me to buy something that would make me happy?”
“ Of course they did, honey.”
“ Well, I just did!”
With that, she giggled and started skipping toward their car. Apparently, she had decided on the answer to her own question of “ Do I have enough?”
【1】Which of the following can replace the underlined word “dejectedly” in Paragraph 2 ?
A．disappointedly.
B．pleasantly.
C．angrily.

D．The store.
【3】What made the girl laugh so happily?
A．Having many Barbie dolls.
B．Helping a poor boy.
C．Playing Pokemon games.
D．Buying something Nana and Pawpaw like.
【4】What’s the best title of the passage?

C．Do I Have Enough?
