21、It is a starry April night in the southern Appalachian Mountains. A beautiful bird is flying to the Adirondacks. It is Passerina cyanca, or the indigo bunting (靛蓝彩鹀). The bird is on a 1,200-mile spring migration (迁徙). Without fail, in total darkness, it maintains a steady northward bearing(an exact direction).

A remarkable study conducted in 1967 by Cornell University scientist Stephen Emlen found indigo buntings could orient (确定方向) themselves based on projected star patterns. Emlen caught birds ready for their fall migration — a behavioral state known as migration anxiety — and placed them into special enclosed spaces under the artificial sky of a planetarium(a building whose ceiling shows the movements of stars). Then, Emlen recorded the direction of their hops just before takeoff. Almost without exception, the birds oriented themselves southward, in the direction of their autumnal migration toward Central America.

Humans have long used the North Star, or Polaris, to determine fundamental directions. Emlen guessed the birds were doing something similar, reading the sweep of the stars around Polaris to maintain a bearing. (Stars close to Polaris travel in smaller circles relative to stars that are farther away.)

Emlen began systematically wiping away concentric (同轴的) rings of stars around Polaris. For a while, the buntings were able to perform their little dance — face south, hop, fly — despite the erased (被清除的) stars. But once the erasure of star patterns reached a critical point, within 35 degrees of Polaris, the buntings, once a well-practiced dance group, lost their ability to dance. They hopped in a disorganized way, unable to determine their takeoff direction.

Some species of seals can also use stars to find their way across vast oceans. These and other stargazing specialists, unfortunately, have been forced to live upon a planet completely changed by artificial light in the night environment. Such pollution — a major side-effect of urbanization — is particularly destructive to many wild species. Like Emlen, we have erased stars across the sky, throwing animal behavior and migration patterns across the globe into chaos.

【1】How did Emlen carry out the study in 1967?

A．By following the routes of the buntings’ migration.

B．By watching the buntings under an artificial starry sky.

C．By analyzing the buntings’ takeoff direction in the wild.

D．By comparing the buntings’ spring and autumnal migration.

【2】What happened to the buntings after the erasure of star patterns reached a critical point?

A．They faced south and flew.

B．They hopped toward Polaris.

C．They danced in a beautiful way.

D．They lost their sense of direction.

【3】What problem does the author mainly discuss in the last paragraph?

A．Light pollution’s harm to wildlife.

B．The overdevelopment of urbanization.

C．The waste of energy caused by artificial light.

D．Challenges faced by today’s stargazing scientists.

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

A．Little indigo buntings migrate for 1,200 miles

B．Indigo buntings migrate guided by stars

C．Birds ready for migration show migration anxiety

D．Animals have different ways to orient themselves

22、   People used to say that British food was boring and bland (乏味的). Nowadays people in Britain have a world of food to choose from.

Travel around London and you'll find food from around the globe. You might come across restaurants and cafes serving foreign food from Armenia, Bangladesh, China, France, etc. Take a look on the Internet and you'll find even more, from Africa, South and Central America and the Pacific. Some restaurants mix different cuisines (烹饪) to create fusion (融合) food. It is similar across the rest of the UK, and growing.

It hasn't always been the case. Once upon a time, other Western Europeans described British food as boring and bland, too heavy and full of fat, with tasteless soups and puddings only the British could love. Sixty years ago, there were only four Indian restaurants in the UK. Now there are over 9,500. There were Italian restaurants in Britain in the nineteenth century but no real Chinese restaurant until the 1930s. The first Indian restaurant opened three hundred years ago.

So why did the British grow bored with their food? Firstly soldiers, administrators and planters who had worked overseas encouraged others to try out new food. In the 1970s, the British began to take holidays abroad and discovered new tastes. And at the same time, people from around the world settled in the UK to live and work, bringing food from home which attracted the British.

Traditionally, Britain's national dish has always been fish and chips, but it is more exotic (异国风味) than that. Many people, including former Foreign Secretary Robin Cook, now consider chicken tikka masala the national dish. It contains chicken in creamy sauce, Indian style. It has come to symbolize (象征) multicultural Britain and could be considered as an example of "fusion" food.

【1】What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?

A．London is a multicultural global city.

B．It is easy for Londoners to travel to different countries.

C．Many restaurants in London belong to different countries.

D．People in Britain have different kinds of food to choose from.

【2】Which of the following statement is true?

A．Indian cooking has a long history in the UK.

B．Western Europeans used to enjoy British food.

C．Four Indian restaurants opened in the UK three hundred years ago.

D．Real Chinese restaurant opened in the UK in the nineteenth century.

【3】Which is the reason why British People grew bored with their food?

A．British people working abroad encouraged others to try out new food.

B．Travel offered British people opportunities to change their diet.

C．Non-British people working in the UK brought food from their countries.

D．Above all.

【4】Why did Robin Cook consider chicken tikka masala the national dish?

A．Because it was invented by an Indian chef.

B．Because it is a traditional British dish and more exotic.

C．Because it is a kind of fusion food and the sign of a multicultural Britain.

D．Because British doesn't have as many dishes to show off as other countries.

23、   You may already know that more than a million years ago, glaciers, or vast blankets of moving ice, covered one third of the earth. You also may know tens of thousands of years ago, the glaciers started to melt, retreating to their current position in the Antarctic and Greenland. You may even know that glaciers also exist in all the world's great mountain regions. But do you know that glaciers cover about 6 billion square miles of the earth and store about 75 percent of the earth's fresh water.

A glacier forms in a cold climate when a winters snow does not completely melt during the following summer. Snow continues to accumulate and partially melt year after year. As the accumulated snow becomes heavier, the lower layers crushes under the weight and changes into ice. Over time, the mass of ice thickens and moves. The ice is either pulled slowly downhill by gravity - as in the valley glaciers found in the Alps, on the Alaskan coast, and in the Western United States - or forced outward in all directions by its own weight - as in the ice sheets and icecaps covering most of Greenland and Antarctic a. During the glaciations (冰川作用),a glacier moves ( usually about 3 feet per day). It picks up pieces of rock that cut and polish the land and carve out steep-side valleys . During deglaciation (冰消作用),a glacier withdraws and often leaves large deposits of sand and stones. The process of glaciation and deglaciation formed the Great Lakes in North American during the Ice Ages.

Some scientists believe that ice ages similar to those of the past will occur, but they disagree on when this will happen. Other scientists think that global wanning will occur instead, melting the glaciers and flooding areas as sea levels rise. No one knows for certain which event will occur, but neither predicts well for mankind.

【1】What happens to a glacier during glaciation?

A.It moves. B.It leaves stones.

C.It leaves sand. D.It forms the Great Lakes.

【2】What will happen if global warming occurs instead of another ice age?

A.Vast blankets of ice will cover the earth.

B.Glaciers in the Antarctic will increase in size.

C.Plant and animal life in many related areas will be destroyed.

D.A winter's snow may not completely melt during the following summer.

【3】What is the attitude of the writer towards the argument between scientists in the last paragraph?

A.Optimistic. B.Objective. C.Pessimistic. D.Indifferent.

【4】What is this passage mainly about? ,

A.The Ice Age. B.Valley glaciers.

C.Ice sheets and ice caps. D.Glaciers.

24、   I'd done it before, and so I had no reason to believe that this time would be any different. I was sure that when I returned home from my mission trip, as always, I'd bring back nothing more than some mud on my boots, a hole or two in my jeans and, of course, a lot of great memories.

The summer before my high school graduation, I went to West Virginia with others as volunteers to repair the homes of those in need. Arriving at our destination, my group was assigned the task of rebuilding sections of a home that had been damaged by fire. No sooner had we parked on the home's dirt driveway than we saw an excited little girl, no more than six years old, standing in the doorway of the family's temporary home. Shoeless and wearing dirty clothes and the biggest smile I'd ever seen, she yelled, "Ma, Ma, they really came! " I didn't know it then, but her name was Dakota, and four more days would pass before she’d say another word near me.

Behind Dakota was a woman in a wheelchair—her grandmother, we'd soon learn. I also discovered that my job that week would be to help change a fire—damaged dining room into a bedroom for this little girl. Grabbing our tools, we went to work. Over the following days, I noticed Dakota peeking at us every now and then as we worked. A few times. I tried talking with her, but she remained shy and distant, always flying around us like a tiny butterfly but keeping to herself.

By our fifth and final day, however, this was about to change.

Before I went to work on her home on that last morning, I spoke for a moment or two with the grandmother. I was especially pleased when she told me how much Dakota loved her new room so much, in fact, that she'd begged to sleep in it the previous night, even though it wasn't quite ready. As we talked, I noticed something I hadn’t seen before—Dakota was hiding behind her grandmother. Cautiously, she stepped into view, and I could see that just like her clothes, her face was still dirty. But no amount of soil could hide those bright blue eyes and big smile. She was simply adorable. I wanted so much to hug her, but respecting her shyness, I kept my distance.

Slowly, she began walking toward me. It wasn't until she was just inches away that I noticed the folded piece of paper in her tiny hand. Silently, she reached up and handed it to me. Once unfolded, I looked at the drawing she'd made with her broken crayons on the back of an old coloring book cover. It was of two girls—one much taller than the other—and they were holding hands. She told me it was supposed to be me and her and on the bottom of the paper were three little words that instantly broke my heart. Now almost in tears, I couldn't control myself anymore—I bent down and hugged her. She hugged me, too. And for the longest time, neither one of us could let go.

By early afternoon, we finished Dakota's bedroom, and so I gladly used the rare free time to get to know my newest friend. Sitting under a tree away from the others, we shared a few apples while she told me about her life. As I listened to her stories about the struggles she and her family went through daily, I began to realize how boring various aspects of my own life were.

I left for home early the next morning. I was returning with muddy boots and holes in my jeans. But because of Dakota, I brought back something else, too—a greater appreciation for all of the blessing of my life. I’ll never forget that barefoot little butterfly with the big smile and dirty face. I pray that she’ll never forget me either.

There has been a rise in road traffic accidents from the beginning of this year until Friday, the Traffic Police (TP) said in a statement on Saturday. TP recorded 36 deadly accidents which resulted in 38 deaths, or an increase of three severe accidents and four deaths, respectively, compared with the same period last year. The rise was due mainly to victims who were motorcyclists and vehicle passengers. The top causes of deadly accidents since the beginning of this year were failing to keep a proper lookout, failing to have proper control of the vehicle, and pedestrians crossing roads without paying attention to traffic.
