21、Butterflies are some of the most fascinating and beautiful insects in the world. Adult butterflies will live about two to four weeks. They use their senses of sight, touch, hearing, smell and taste to survive in the world, find food and mates, lay eggs in a proper place, migrate and avoid hungry enemies.

Butterflies have large compound eyes (复眼), which allow them to see in all directions without turning their heads. Like most insects, butterflies are very near-sighted, so they are more attracted to many flowers. Butterflies do not “see” colors such as red, green and yellow, but they can sense sunlight, which shows the direction in which the sun is shining, as well as ultraviolet light (紫外线), which is present on many flowers and guides butterflies to find honey sources.

Butterflies have a very well-developed sense of smell, but it is not in their nose, since they don’t have one. Sense receptors (感受器) are in their antennae (触角), feet and many other parts of the body. They can help butterflies find their favorite flower honey, food and mates.

Butterflies’ feet have sense organs that can taste the sugar in flower honey, letting the butterflies know if something is good to eat or not. Some females also carefully choose host plants by tasting to find proper places to lay their eggs. Adult butterflies feed their babies using a long tube. Butterflies force blood into the tube to straighten it out, allowing them to feed. Butterflies get all their food from this tube.

Butterflies don’t have ears. Instead they “hear” sounds through their wings by sensing changes in sound vibrations.

Butterflies may possess senses we haven’t known about till today, because their body structure is very different and difficult to understand, when observed through our own human senses. (325 words)

22、After limiting the screen time, the minors in China are prohibited against getting tattooed (文身) now.

According to the guideline, which came out on June 6th, 2022, any enterprise, organization and individuals should be stopped from providing inking services. The guideline also prohibits “encouraging or forcing” children into getting tattoos, while encouraging parents to advise their children against getting tattooed.

“All agencies that provide tattooing services should clearly display signs refusing minors, and ask customers to show their IDs if it’s hard to judge their age based on their appearance,” the guideline said.

Tattoo culture has gained popularity especially among the country’s youth in recent years. They regard it as a form of fashion and self expression. However, tattoos haven’t been widely accepted in the society and they might have a bad influence on people in some situations.

Amanla, a tattoo artist in the southwestern Yunnan Province, said he agreed with the ban. He said, “Protection is necessary. But more deeply, it’s also disrespectful for people to do something merely to be cool without knowing what they really want or understanding the pattern being drawn on their body.”

In recent years, several regions have issued local regulations banning tattoo services for children. In June of last year, a court in the eastern Jiangsu Province ordered a tattoo shop to stop tattooing minors after being accused of using ink containing harmful pigments (色素).

Yuan Ningning, a legal advisor specializing in family education law, said that the working guideline has cleared up the responsibilities between different regulators and called for more education and specific punishments.

“The central government has already formed a consensus (共识),” Yuan said. “But it takes a learning process among the local authorities for the guideline to be effective. That’s the first and a very crucial step.”

【1】What should the tattoo shops do according to the regulation?

A．Refuse to serve the minors.

B．Offer quality service for teenagers.

C．Ask the minors’ parents for advice.

D．Keep the minors safe while tattooing.

【2】What does paragraph 4 tell us about tattoo?

A．Tattooing has a long history in China.

B．The society has been influenced by tattooing.

C．Young people are more interested in tattooing.

D．Tattooing helps people do their work better.

【3】Which of the following might Amanla agree with?

A．Tattoos are not for everyone.

B．Tattooing for minors must be punished.

C．We should learn about tattoos before getting one.

D．It is not easy for the regulation to be put into practice.

【4】What can be inferred about the guideline?

A．Those who break the rules will be punished.

B．It has got wide recognition among the public.

C．Educators play a key role in carrying out the rules.

D．It is a long way for the guideline to make a difference.

23、How to Build a Better Breakfast

We all know breakfast is the most important meal of the day. A study found that breakfast eaters were more likely to lose weight . 【1】 The following will help you really rise and shine.

1. Eat even if you’re not hungry.

Although you might not feel like eating first thing in the morning, it’s a good idea to get something into your system. Eating within 90 minutes of waking up will jump-start your metabolism(新陈代谢)and keep you from getting hungry later. 【2】

2. Be boring.

Changing what you eat is a good idea, but you might want to stick to the same old menu. People who allowed their breakfast calories to change have larger waists and a higher possibility of metabolic syndrome(代谢综合征)than those who keep their morning calorie intake constant. 【3】

3. Add peanuts or peanut butter.

By eating peanuts or peanut butter, the carbohydrates (碳水化合物)are taken in more slowly and blood sugar does not rise too high. 【4】 So they are less likely to snack later.

4. 【5】

Eat breakfast like a king. It’s well worth following. Those who eat a balanced 700-calorie breakfast over a 12-week period lower their blood sugar and blood pressure twice more than people who eat a 200-calorie meal. They also lose an average of 19.2 pounds.

A．Go big.

B．Pile on the produce.

C．So it’s best to hold it steady.

D．Just a banana will do the trick.

24、The COVID-19 pandemic(新冠疫情) has had one positive result: millions more Europeans have discovered the joy of cycling. ‘‘Cycling is easy,” says Tanja Jamnik. “Sitting on a bike, I feel very free.” The 57-year-old accountant from Slovenia is convinced of the health benefits. “Cycling is great for the whole body.” And there are advantages for mental health. “If I cycle alone, I switch my mind off and all the bad things go out of it. If I cycle with a friend, we talk so much that it’s like therapy(治疗)!” While Tanja and her husband, Andrej, have long enjoyed cycling, there are many newcomers to the activity.

She ascribes the recent rise in biking in her country to two factors. One is Slovenia’s extremely attractive performance in the 2020 Tour de France. The other, of course, is the COVID-19 pandemic. Last year when public transport was cancelled, and schools, sports facilities, restaurants and shops were shut, many more Slovenians discovered — or rediscovered — cycling.

“By the beginning of July, cycle shops in Slovenia were almost out of mountain bikes and expedition bikes.” Tanja and Andrej often tour their home country by bike, plus most years they have had cycling holidays in other places, too.

In fact, the whole of Europe has seen a surprising growth in cycling. Bike use was already high in some European countries, but numbers are increasing all across the continent as people get on their bikes for fitness, commuting(通勤) and leisure. In Finland, bicycle sales were up by 34 percent in 2020, and in January 2021 alone, the growth was a surprising 49 percent, according to the Finnish Cyclists Federation.

【1】Why does Tanja like cycling?

A．Because she can go anywhere she wants.

B．Because cycling with a friend is like therapy.

C．Because she benefits from cycling physically and mentally.

D．Because her husband loves cycling with her at their leisure time.

【2】What does the underlined word “ascribes” in paragraph 2 probably mean?

A．Distributes.

C．Reveals.

D．Reduces.

【3】What can we know from the last paragraph?

A．Finland’s bicycle sales increased sharply.

B．Bike use was high in all European countries.
