21、Driving while talking on the phone increases the likelihood of an accident and is actually more dangerous than driving drunk, U.S. researchers report. This holds true whether the driver is holding a cell phone or using a hands⁃free device.

“As a society, we have agreed on not tolerating the risk associated with drunk driving,”said researcher Frank Drews, an assistant professor of psychology at the University of Utah.“This study shows us that somebody who is conversing on a cell phone is exposing him or herself and others to a similar risk — cell phones actually are a higher risk,”he said.

In the study, 40 people followed a pace car along a prescribed course, using a driving simulator （模拟仪）. Some people drove while talking on a cell phone, others drove while drunk（meaning their blood-alcohol limit matched the legal limit of 0.08 percent）, and others drove with no such distractions. The researchers found an increased accident rate when people were conversing on the cell phone. Drivers on cell phones were 5.36 times more likely to get in an accident.

The bottom line: Cell⁃phone use was linked to“a significant increase in the accident rate,” Drews said.

The phone users did even worse than the inebriated, the Utah team found. There were three accidents among those talking on cell phones — all of them involving a rear⁃ending（追尾） of the pace car. In contrast, there were no accidents recorded among participants who were drunk.

In response to safety concerns, some states have declared it illegal to use hand ⁃ held cell phones while driving. But that type of law may not be effective, because the Utah researchers found no difference in driver performance whether the driver was holding the phone or talking on a hands⁃free model.

“We have seen again and again that there is no difference between hands⁃free and hand⁃held devices,”Drews said.“The problem is the conversation. The best solution to the problem is obvious: Don’t talk on the phone while you are driving. ”

【1】Which group of drivers performed worst in the study?

A．Those phone users.

B．Those who are drunk.

C．Those following a pace car.

D．Those with hearing problems.

【2】What does the underlined phrase“the inebriated”in paragraph 5 refer to?

【3】What can be concluded from the last two paragraphs?

A．Driver performance has nothing to do with the use of mobile phones.

B．It is timely to ban the use of hand⁃held phones while driving.

C．The Utah researchers find the traffic safety law works as well as before.

D．Talking on the phone while driving should be avoided.

【4】In which section of a newspaper is this text from?

A．Sports.

22、In English it’s common to say, “I know this town like the back of my hand!” While we may know our towns really well, how well do we actually know our hands? Maybe not quite as well as we think, said a scientific study.

Matthew Longo and his team from University College London studied the left hands of 100 people. With their hands placed palms down under a board, Longo’s team gave the instruction to point to their knuckles (关节) and fingertips with a marker. How did they do? Not that well.

“People think their hand is wider than it actually is,” said Longo. He said they also seemed to think their fingers were shorter than their true lengths. People were most accurate when finding their thumbs, but became less accurate with each finger, up to their pinkies (小指).

“It is connected to our sense of position,” explained Longo. Humans know where different parts of our bodies are, even if we can’t see them. “It tells us whether a joint is straight or not,” said Longo. “We also need to know the distances between our joints,” he went on. Our brains know the sizes and shapes of our bodies from the maps they make for themselves. “This experiment tried to find those maps,” he said.

Maybe maps don’t need to be perfect. But why aren’t our brains more accurate? Longo said our brains “see” areas based on our sense of touch, with the stronger the sense of touch in a specific body part, the bigger that body part seems. An example is our lips. As they have more nerves than our noses, our brain’s map shows our lips are bigger. The same thing can happen with body parts that have a lot of nerves. If you’ve ever had something stuck in your teeth, it probably felt huge! That’s because our tongues also have lots of nerves.

If you want to have some fun, try this test with your classmates. Get some boards and some markers and have them mark the spots where they think their knuckles and fingertips are. Compare their hands to the marker spots and see how well they have performed.

【1】What’s the meaning of the common saying?

A．People know hands well.

B．People know the town well.

C．People know the hand back little.

【2】What’s the purpose of the first paragraph?

A．To tell readers hands’ backs.

B．To show the topic of the passage.

C．To indicate a common sense.

D．To compare the hand to town .

【3】How do humans know where different parts of bodies are?

A．By our sense of position.

B．By knowing the sizes and shapes.

C．By making body maps.

D．By touching the joints.

【4】What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?

A．To make suggestions for readers.

B．To advise readers to get some markers.

C．To ask readers to draw their hands.

D．To suggest observing hands carefully.

23、Imagine a warm spring day 66 million years ago. Fish would have been swimming in the rivers in an area that’s now North Dakota in the US. Seconds later, the serenity (宁静) was ended by destruction.

These could have been the very last moments of the dinosaur era when a city-sized asteroid (小行星) struck Earth, killing off three quarters of all species on the planet. According to a study published in Nature on Feb 23, the asteroid hit in springtime.

Researchers in 2019 discovered fossilized fishes in North Dakota that died shortly after the asteroid hit Earth. They examined the fossils with a particle accelerator and found out there was seasonal growth on the bones. All fish bone cell densities and volumes can indicate the season. Because the accelerator also could capture the sizes, researchers were able to determine when in the year the asteroid hit, Dennis Voeten, a researcher at Uppsala University in Sweden told USA Today.

The timing of the collision, at least for the Northern Hemisphere, came at a particularly sensitive stage. “I think spring puts a large group of the late Cretaceous biota (白垩纪生物) in a very vulnerable spot because they were out and about looking for food, attending to offspring and trying to build up resources after the harsh winter.” Melanie During, the main author of the study, said at a news briefing.

In the Southern Hemisphere, it was autumn, a season when many creatures prepare for winter. Therefore, life in the Southern Hemisphere was a lot more prepared for this event.

It is unclear whether small animals in the Northern Hemisphere actual did worse than those in the south. There is evidence that Northern Hemisphere turtles were wiped out in the asteroid strike, after which their habitats were later repopulated by turtles from the south, Voeten told The Guardian.

【1】On what basis did researchers determine the time of year the asteroid hit?

A．The kinds of fossilized fish cells.

B．The number of fish fossils in the area.

C．The appearance of different fish species.

D．The volume and density of fossilized fish bones.

【2】What does the underlined word “offspring” most likely mean in paragraph 4?

A．The young.

B．A season.

C．The homeless.

D．A creature.

【3】What can be inferred from the passage?

A．The time of the asteroid strike was the same around the globe.

B．There were still turtles in the Northern Hemisphere after the asteroid strike.

C．No creatures could survive the asteroid impact whether in the south or north.

D．The extinction of many species has little to do with the asteroid strike.

【4】What’s the main purpose of the article?

A．To discuss why dinosaurs went extinct.

B．To explain the science behind asteroids.

C．To explore the impact of the asteroid strike.

D．To report on new research on the asteroid strike.

24、Our Planet Earth is full of life and has incredible biodiversity. Biological Diversity or Biodiversity is the base of human existence and fundamental to its well-being. Species are the building blocks of this life on Earth, and it is believed that the species that are at present globally found have continuously evolved over 65 million years since the Last Mass Extinction. However, the nature and extent of our planet’s biodiversity at all levels have not been completely evaluated yet. Thus, the exact number of species found in the world remains unknown. Over the years, with the advancement of scientific knowledge and the discovery of more new species, it has been approximated that there are, at present, 10 million to 14 million species on Earth, of which 1. 2 million species have been data-based. This means that still more than 86％ of the terrestrial(陆生的) and 91％ of the marine species remain unknown.

Every year,taxonomists(分类学家)describe thousands of species,some of which are completely new to science, while in some cases, the species and subspecies are closely examined and determined whether they can be considered distinct species.

A study has revealed that over 99. 9% of all species amounting to more than 5 billion species that ever lived here, are believed to be extinct. At present, our planet houses millions of species, among which 86% live on land, 13% in the deep subsurface, and a mere 1% in the oceans. However, Biodiversity is not evenly distributed on Earth, and its number varies greatly on different continents.

The undiscovered and misidentified species slow our ability to understand patterns and changes in global biodiversity and the rate of species extinctions(灭绝). Even after several years of taxonomic studies, only 14% of terrestrial species and 9% of marine species have been officially added to the central database. Necessarily, some species will become extinct before researchers realize they ever existed.

【1】What does the underlined word “marine” mean in Paragraph 1?

A．Rare.

B．Oceanic.

C．Endangered.

D．Novel.

【2】What do taxonomists usually do?

A．Examine distribution of species.

B．Compare species from subspecies.

C．Decide the situation of the species.

D．Describe diversity of new-found species.

【3】Which of the following can describe the distribution of the Earth’s Biodiversity?

A．Unequal.

B．Accumulative.

C．Average.

D．Maximum.

【4】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A．The central database covers all species.

B．The rate of species extinctions is rather high.

C．Many undiscovered species have been extinct.

D．Humans know little about endangered species.
