21、Detecting drugs used to be a specific job for dogs, but now a drug detection team is welcoming some new colleagues — squirrels. Six Eurasian red squirrels were trained and approved for work responsibilities by police in Chongqing in February.

Squirrels have an acute sense of smell as they can smell food under a foot of snow. Small and swift, the “newcomers” are able to search for drugs in places which may be unapproachable for dogs, such as narrow spaces or tops of packages stacked high in warehouses. The squirrels have been trained to use their claws to scratch at boxes to draw their handlers’ attention if they detect drugs, according to local Chongqing police authorities.

“Our self-developed training system can be applied to the training of various animals,” Yin Jin, a police dog handler in Chongqing, told Global Times, adding that the training has really impressive results as the squirrels can quickly identify drugs. Although the system is intended for dogs, it can show some evidence on how squirrels are trained as well.

According to a research essay published in the journal China Working Dog which details the program, conditioning the animals’ reflexes (反射) is the key factor. First, the animals are familiarized with the targets’ smell and do special gestures when they smell their targets. For example, for explosive detection dogs, the handlers place pieces of cloth with the smell of the explosives next to the dogs’ food.

Next, the animals learn to search for the targets under various conditions. From a large number of luggage bags to people walking in crowds, the handlers create different scenarios (情景) to test the animals. If the animals successfully identify the location of the targets, they are then rewarded with snacks or other treats. The animals are soon able to search for targets naturally and actively, showing that the conditioned reflex has been built internally. Their training ends with practice sessions in real-life scenarios.

【1】What advantage do squirrels have over dogs in drug detection?

A．Squirrels are much easier to train.

B．Squirrels are smarter and quicker.

C．Squirrels have a sharper sense of smell.

D．Squirrels can better fit into small spaces.

【2】How do the squirrels remind their handlers after finding boxes containing drugs?

A．By forcefully shaking their tails.

B．By sitting on the boxes and barking.

C．By jumping up and down on the boxes.

D．By scratching at the boxes with their claws.

【3】What does Yin think of their self-developed training system?

A．It still needs to be improved.

B．It will be introduced abroad.

C．It is effective in training squirrels.

D．It can be used to train all kinds of animals.

【4】When does a handler know his detecting animals have developed conditioned reflexes?

A．When his dogs can smell targets carefully.

B．When his mice can search for targets voluntarily.

C．When his squirrels can do different gestures flexibly.

D．When his bees can detect targets in different scenarios.

22、When CAST AWAY producers wanted a survival consultant for Tom Hank’s tropical island scenes, they came to BOSS. When National Geographic Explorer wanted to film outdoor survival with industry experts, they came to BOSS. And when people feel the desire to learn traditional skills and explore the wilderness without dependence on modern equipment…they come to BOSS.

Since 1968, the Boulder Outdoor Survival School, the oldest and largest survival school in the world --- known to most simply as BOSS --- has delivered life-changing, wilderness-based experiences to adventurous people all over the world. Based out of corporate headquarters in Boulder, Colorado, we have a field office in Southern Utah’s small town of Boulder.

BOSS Courses range from 1 to 28 days in length in Utah, Colorado, and Mexico, and students range from 18 to 70 years old. Courses include field courses, skills courses, explorer courses, and custom courses. One of the reasons BOSS classes are small is to ensure that quality is maintained and that each person is given our full attention.

At BOSS, we recognize that the quality of your experience depends on the quality of your instructors. All instructors are selected for their sound judgment, strong leadership, interpersonal and communicative skills, and their broad knowledge of traditional living crafts and arts. And all instructors are offered a series of refresher-courses each year to help keep all relevant skills in top form.

True, you may never need to know how to make fire from sticks, or how to build shelters from leaves, but there is a part of all of us that benefit from this knowledge. It is only with this understanding of “primitive” philosophies and the wilderness that our culture can successfully move forward. If you are interested in walking along these paths of ancient wisdom and skill, we look forward to seeing you on the trail with us at BOSS.

24、These days, many gyms require clients to wear masks or face coverings. The good news: research suggests they don't actually hold up your performance.

Researchers at the University of Saskatchewan gathered a group of 7 men and 7 women, ranging from slightly inactive to excellent cyclists and tested the effects of wearing a three-layer cloth face mask, a surgical mask, and no mask on their exercise performance.

The study participants started with a brief warm-up on a fixed bike, then took a progressive intensity exercise test, during which it was vital for them to keep the same pedal rate while the resistance was continually increased until exhaustion (疲惫不堪). Something like the heart rate was recorded every 30 seconds.

The results suggested that wearing a mask had no effect on performance or muscle oxygen levels. Since there was no difference in time to exhaustion between conditions, the highest power reached at the end of each test was similar in mask and no-mask conditions for all participants, Professor Chilibeck explained. Researchers also did not see any effects of the masks during exercise on blood oxygen levels, which wouldn't decrease if breathing was not affected.

And while droplet (飞沫) spread was not measured, all masks used were tested in a previous study in which they were shown to effectively minimize droplet spread, according to Chilibeck. Though the participants represented a wide range of fitness levels, it's important to note that these tests were conducted on a very small sample size, and more research is needed on larger populations to draw sweeping conclusions about the general population.

【1】How did the researchers draw the conclusion?

A．By conducting an experiment.

B．By making brief analysis.

C．By observing normal cyclists.

D．By doing medical tests.

【2】What will happen if masks block your performance?

A．Your heart rate may keep stable.

B．You might produce less droplet.

C．Your blood oxygen levels will drop.

D．You will feel more tired than before.

【3】What is the author's attitude to the study?

A．Doubtful.

B．Favorable.

C．Disapproving.

D．Objective.

【4】Which of the following could be the best title for the text?

A．Why Should We Train with Masks?

B．Why Don't Masks Worsen Our Performance?

C．Do Masks Affect Our Performance?

D．Can We Train While Wearing Masks?

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。

The doctors sent my mother home to die. As a fifteen-year survivor of breast cancer, she had suffered two heart attacks when advanced cancer was found in her lung. The doctor told me sadly, "She has a few days, maybe a week. Her heart is weak and unstable. "Mom had struggled to raise three daughters while holding a full-time job, yet worked hard to maintain a warm home for her family. My plan for Mom’s final days was simple: she would live with love, and die with grace.

I took mother to my home, small but comfortable, which was a heaven to four cats and a dog. The animals had the run of my house. We equipped the bedroom with an electric hospital bed and an oxygen machine, which frightened the cats. I’d moved their furniture and the cats were annoyed. The dog, on the other hand, an immature dog with bad habits, was excited by all the changes in the house. He jumped up, barking. He is Otto who was not afraid of the hospital bed, the oxygen machine or the medical smells. Nor was he afraid of the weak woman who had scolded him. Otto jumped onto the foot of Mom's hospital bed, and stayed. With the exception of eating and using the litter box, Otto never left Mom's room.

Days passed and Mom started to rally. “Not unusual,” I was told, “a rally is often a sign of imminent death(回光返照)” I was heart-broken. But Otto would not give her up so easily. He used her improved condition to reposition himself from the foot of her bed to her side. Her thin fingers found his soft coat. He leaned into her body, as if holding tight the strings of her will to live. Though weak, she petted the dog and would not allowed me to take him. Days turned into weeks and Mom continued to fight.

Paragraph 1

Once, after the nurses had gone for the day, I heard the sound of Mom’s voice coming from her room. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Paragraph 2

Three years later, Mom together with Otto is still here, medicines and nurses long gone. __ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
