21、Climate change is changing the migration routes of animals worldwide. Take the mule deer for example. Every spring in Wyoming, green-up first appears at lower altitudes before progressing up the mountainside. Migrating mule deer follow and seek food on this green wave. But as a changing climate leads to more frequent and more severe droughts, the greenery is not as abundant as it used to be.
Ellen Aikens, a researcher from the University of Wyoming, tracked mule deer as they surfed the green wave. In comparison to wet years, the green-up lasted across the landscape for about half as long in drought years and was also fragmented. Although the deer were able to keep up with the faster green wave, the nutritional value was lower, leaving the animals less prepared for the challenges of the year ahead.
Meanwhile in Europe, the population of Bewick’s swans that spend the winter in the Netherlands is declining. But when researchers looked at the data more closely, they found an increase in the wintering population of swans in Germany. It turns out that since the 1970s, the swans’ wintering habitat has shifted an average of 13 kilometers to the east each year.
“The swans like to spend time where it’s 5℃. And the temperature line has shifted in the same rate as the swans shifted eastward,” said Rascha Nuijten, an ecologist at the Netherlands Institute of Ecology.
These findings are important to our understanding of the conservation of migrant animals. When it comes to protecting a certain species, it’s not just about the current situation. Nature is dynamic. And the species that is present now might not be present in 10 years, not because we didn’t protect it but because maybe it is dynamic in its way. We need to include the dynamics of nature into our legislation and management.
【1】What’s the challenge the mule deer face?
A.Wet years.
B.Low altitudes.
C.Fast green wave.
D.Lack of quality food.
【2】What do we know about Bewick’s swans from Paragraph 3?
A.They are endangered.
B.They used to spend winter in Germany.
C.They move their wintering habitats eastward.
D.Germany has more of them than the Netherlands.
【3】What does Rascha Nuijten intend to tell us?
A.Its warmer in the east.
B.The 5℃ line shifts at a fast rate.
C.The swans move with the temperature line.
D.Climate change affects the swans’ feeding habits.
【4】What is the purpose of the passage?
A.To introduce two research findings.
B.To appeal to protect animals in a dynamic way.
C.To discuss methods of fighting climate change.
D.To explain why animals change their migration routes.
22、 A robotics team in Dublin High School, California, US, has come up with a creative solution to help clean parts of the school during the pandemic — a sanitizing drone. It was designed by the Gael Force Robotics Team, and the project has 10 students working to design, construct and eventually fly it.
Before the drone, it took five to six hours to disinfect (将 消毒) the bleachers (露天看台) at the football stadium, according to Vice Principal Paul Faris. One of the students then suggested making a sanitizing drone to help. “ We decided to challenge ourselves to build the drone to not only keep our students safe, but try to find a cost-effective way to do it,”said Niharika Suravarjjala, who is a senior and also the team’s president and project manager. The drone will have the ability to spray a disinfectant to clean the school’s 6, 200-square-foot football stadium.
The drone will at first have the ability to be manually flown by an operator on the ground using a phone application, which the students will also develop. Then, the students plan on making upgrades that will include the ability for autonomous flying and even artificial intelligence (AI) so that the drone will have depth perception ( 感 知 ) and can detect objects on its own, Niharika said. The team researched similar industrial drone models, such as the ones the Atlanta Falcons use for their football stadium. The students found those models can cost up to $15,000. Niharika said:“We can do a little better than this.”They started a GoFundMe page with a goal of $4,000 to raise funds for parts and equipment to build the drone. The money they got have already surpassed their goal.”
When built, their drone will also have twice the amount of flight time of other industrial models, at 22 minutes without needing to be recharged, she said.The Gael Force Robotics Team is one of the largest clubs at Dublin High, with 180 members. Named after the school’s mascot ( 吉 祥 物 ), the student-run robotics club has six teams that take part in competitions held by VEX, an educational robotics company that holds state and national championship games.
【1】Why did the team decide to build the drone?
A.To get rid of rubbish around the school.
B.To solve the problem of lacking staff.
C.To make disinfecting cheaper and more efficient.
D.To protect students from the disinfectants.
【2】What will the first version of the sanitizing drone be able to do?
A.Fly with an operator aboard to control it.
B.Fly according to orders given via an app.
C.Perceive depth on its own while flying.
D.Detect things autonomously when flying.
【3】Compared with similar industrial drones, the sanitizing drone _______.
A.will be funded by the school
B.will be named after the school’s mascot
C.can be recharged more quickly
D.will cost less to make and will be able to fly longer
【4】What is the purpose of the text?
A.To introduce a sanitizing drone.
B.To praise a successful robotics team.
C.To explain the importance of sanitizing.
D.To look forward to the future of the drones.
23、Last month,my younger sister Michelle,four of my friends and I held our first charity art exhibitions.The exhibitions, containing 140 paintings,raised 44,000 yuan,all donated to Stepping Stones,a charity that supports poor children in China.
Ever since l was a little girl, I have been in love with art.I have always been fascinated with the idea of creating beauty and emotion-how imagination can transform a simple piece of paper into something beyond the possibilities of the real world.I watched others create magic by simply moving their hands,and felt thrilled as I gradually learned to do this myself.
Passion results in creation.In nine years,I had accumulated more pieces than I could count.My finished paintings were set aside,gathering dust as time passed.So I decided to hold exhibitions to find a home and some appreciation for my artwork.
Nonetheless,I was extremely nervous.After all,I am only a l5-year-old child who has a passion,but not necessarily one who creates artwork that others want to buy.
However,the turnout was more than I could ever have imagined,and the amount of money we raised quadrupled(四倍于)our original target.We were very lucky to find a charity,Stepping Stone,that would show us exactly how our money would be used:to teach English to poor children in the country.I was even offered an opportunity to teach the children myself.
Through this experience,I not only gained more confidence in my art,but also discovered its impact.I realized a paintbrush could paint not only a canvas,but also new opportunities for others who don’t have as many choices in who they want to be,or what they want to do.Although this cannot transform the world,this may transform the world for one child,or even more.
【1】What does “this” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A.Moving hands. B.Painting.
C.Changing the world. D.Using imagination.
【2】By saying “Passion results in creation”, the author means she
A.decided to visit exhibitions of young artists
B.found a new interest besides painting
C.painted many pieces in nine years
D.created artwork that others want to buy
【3】What can you know according to the last two paragraphs?
A.Stepping Stone is an educational organization.
B.Art changed the life of the author and others in a way.
C.Her original donation was expected about 44,000 yuan.
D.The author realized she had an advantage over others.
24、As an educator and health care provider, I have worked with numerous children infected with the virus that causes AlDS. The relationships that I have had with these special kids have been gifts in my life. They have taught me so many things, but I have especially learned that great courage can be found in the smallest of packages. Let me tell you about Tyler.
Tyler was born infected with HIV: his mother was also infected. From the very beginning of his life, he was dependent on medications to enable him to survive. When be was five, he had a tube inserted (插入) in a vein in his chest. This tube was connected to a pump, which he carried in a small backpack on his back. Medications were linked to this pump and continuously supplied through this tube to his bloodstream. At times, he also needed supplemented(补充的) oxygen to support his breathing.
Tyler wasn’t willing to give up one single moment of his childhood to this deadly disease. It was not unusual to find him playing and racing around his backyard, wearing his medicine-laden backpack and dragging his tank of oxygen behind him in his little wagon. All of us who knew Tyler were amazed at his pure joy in being alive and the energy it gave him. Tyler’s mom often teased him by telling him that he moved so fast that she needed to dress him in red. That way, when she peered through the window to check on him playing in the yard, she could quickly spot him.
This dreaded disease eventually wore down even the likes of a little dynamo like Tyler. He grew quite ill and, unfortunately, so did his HIV-infected mother. When it became apparent that he wasn't going to survive, Tyler’s mom talked to him about death. She comforted him by telling Tyler that she was dying too, and that she would be with him soon in heaven.
A few days before his death, Tyler called me over to his hospital bed and whispered,“might die soon. I’m not scared. When I die, please dress me in red. Mom promised she’s coming to heaven, too. I’ll be playing when she gets there, and I want to make sure she can find me.”

【2】Tyler had to wear his backpack because_______.
A.it contained his favourite toys from his mother

【3】We can learn from the passage that______.
A.Tyler gave up the chance to enjoy his childhood because of the deadly disease
B.Wearing his medicine-laden backpack Tyler couldn't play or race around his backyard
C.Tyler's mother often dressed him in red to make him attractive
