21、Girls who lack confidence in school have a new champion. She is only 10 years old. Alice Tapper, a fifth - grader says, that her goal is to encourage girls of all ages to “be more confident in raising their hands”. Alice cared so much about the issue (问题) that she helped create a Girl Scout badge (徽章).
The pink badge—Alice chose her favorite color—shows three hands reaching for the sky. It says, “Be brave. Raise your hand.”
Alice’s idea came during a fourth - grade field trip to Jamestown, Virginia. She found that boys raised their hands to answer questions even though they weren’t sure of the answers. The girls just listened quietly.
“Girls are afraid to raise their hands because they get shy. They have to be 90 percent sure, while boys just raise their hands and say, ‘I know it,’” Alice said during a recent interview. She added that girls should have confidence, step up, and become leaders by raising their hands for women are equal to men.
Alice’s “Raise Your Hand” badge has become wildly popular, and not just in the United States. “People in Japan and China want to use the badge,” she said. “We sold out the badge quickly, but we’re making more.”
Alice wants to be a teacher when she grows up. But first, she wants to see a revolution in confidence for girls of all ages. She knows that won’t happen overnight. “ It takes time,” Alice said, “but I can speed up the process.”
【1】Why does Alice advise other girls to raise their hands?
A. To get high scores. B. To become champions.
C. To show their confidence. D. To question what teachers say.
【2】What made Alice create the Girl Scout badge?
A. Boy classmates’ encouragement. B. An experience to Jamestown.
C. Other girls requirements. D. Her teachers’ support.
【3】What is Alice s attitude to the revolution in confidence for girls?
A. Unclear B. Unsure
C. Disappointed D. Positive
【4】What’s the best title for the text?
A. A Girl Scout badge B. Girl’s rights
C. Confidence is the key to success D. Success can’t be achieved overnight
22、The stories we share with one another are important. They show wisdom and provide inspiration. They are important to our development. But sometimes people choose not to tell.
Consider the negative effects of not sharing a story in the news: People are wondering if public health officials are holding back too much information about the recent outbreak of Ebola.
There is a danger in holding back stories that ought to be told. Bobette Buster said it like this, “The fact is, history has shown us that stories not told can become like a dangerous genie (妖怪) left in a bottle. When they are finally uncorked, their power to destroy is set free.”
There are a number of reasons why we hide parts of our story: they often show our weaknesses or expose our disadvantages; they require courage and strength to share; and of course, there are some stories that should be kept secret—especially those that embarrass someone else.
Most of us have two selves: the one we display on the outside and the one we actually are on the inside. And the better we get at hiding the stories that show our true selves, the more damage we may be causing to ourselves and to others.
Honesty and openness is important: It proves we are trustworthy. It displays we are human. We are not perfect or better. It highlights the importance of hard work and personal development. Hard work may not allow us to overcome our disadvantages completely. But with hard work, we do not have to be restricted to our mistakes.
Does this mean we admit every weakness, every disadvantage, and every secret regret to everybody we meet? No, of course not. There is a time and a place and a certain level of relationship necessary for some stories to be told in an appropriate manner.
【1】What’s the function of the example in Paragraph 2?
A．It reflects that people are concerning about the spread of Ebola.
B．It shows the bad effect caused by sharing a story.
C．It proves not sharing a story can cause trouble.
D．It concludes that one should share a story at a proper time.
【2】One of the reasons why people are unwilling to share experiences is that _______.
A．story-sharing highlights the importance of hard work
B．people are used to exposing their weaknesses
C．people sometimes have no courage to share their stories
D．some stories make themselves feel uneasy
【3】Which is close in meaning to the underlined word “uncorked” in Paragraph 3?
A．freed
B．broken
C．unfolded
D．untouched
【4】The writer aims to convince us to _______.
A．be open to people close to you by sharing some secrets
B．share stories appropriately for the good of others and ourselves
C．remove the dangers that can be caused by untold stories
D．realize the importance of being honest when making friends
23、Passenger pigeons (旅鸽) were the most common birds in all of North America in the 1800s. It was common to see large groups of passenger pigeons — groups that made a sound like a storm. But today, they are extinct because of human behavior. Now, some scientists want to bring passenger pigeons back to life by using new technology and scientific ideas. They call this process deextinction.
Deextinction has not happened yet. It is still just an idea. The process of deextinction is not easy. First, scientists must collect DNA from the bodies of extinct animals. Then they will put it in the eggs of similar animal species. When these animals become adults, they will have babies. And these baby animals will have the DNA of the extinct animals.
Scientists believe it is possible to bring back passenger pigeons and many other animals. However, not everyone thinks this is a good idea.
Stuart Primm is the world's leading expert on modern animal extinction. He believes that bringing extinct animals back to life is bad for the earth. On one hand, these animals no longer have a safe place to live. On the other hand, they could cause other animals to die.
Many other scientists do not agree with Stuart Primm. Stuart Brand, a writer and scientist, is one of them. He believes deextinction is good for many reasons.
"The current generation (当代) of children will experience the return of some unusual animals in their lifetime. It may be part of what defines their generation and their attitude to the natural world. They will take their parents to zoos to see the growing populations of passenger pigeons, and maybe even dodo birds. This will provide a good deal of money for zoos busy with extinct species restoration (恢复). Humans killed off a lot of species over the last 10,000 years. So, it's right to bring some back to life," he said.
【1】In the 19th century, passenger pigeons ________.
A．were common sightings
B．suffered a lot from storms
C．lived mainly in North America
D．were the largest in American history
【2】What do we know about deextinction?
A．It will change the DNA of the extinct animals.
B．It was first used in passenger pigeons.
C．It is difficult to carry out.
D．It proved to be useful.
【3】Why is Stuart Primm against bringing back extinct animals?
A．They will die very soon.
B．They will create other problems.
C．They will do great harm to humans.
D．They will replace the similar species.
【4】How does Stuart Brand feel about deextinction?
A．Wrong.
B．Difficult.
C．Important.
D．Wasteful.
24、Many people think that leaving a social situation without saying goodbye is rude—and it turns out that apes (类人猿) would agree.
As humans, we typically say we are leaving, shake hands or use other body language to signal when interactions with others are ending. Now Durham University researchers have discovered that apes such as bonobos and chimpanzees have a similar system, using gestures and physical contact to start and finish play or grooming sessions (梳毛时段).
The study observed 1,242 interactions within groups of bonobos and chimpanzees at zoos in the United States, Switzerland and France. In 90 percent of cases, bonobos used an “entry signal” before starting an interaction as well as a form of “exit signal” to end an interaction in 92 percent of cases. Chimpanzees used entry signals in 69 percent of cases and exit signals in 86 percent of cases. The closer the relationship between the animals, the shorter the gestures, researchers found. “When you’re interacting with a good friend, you’re less likely to put in a lot of effort in communicating politely,” researcher Dr Raphaela Heesen said.
The ability to work for common causes was seen as a particularly human characteristic, made easier by our ability to communicate through language, but collaboration could also be seen in apes.
While the researchers were already aware that apes used signals to begin interactions, before the study they did not know if they did anything to mark ending and leaving them. Some earlier studies had compared apes with children who had not learnt to talk. When an adult played with a child and then suddenly stopped, the child would protest and want to keep playing. The apes did not appear to protest and so it was assumed that they did not require a signal to end an interaction. Dr Heesen said, however, that she had seen two bonobos interrupted while grooming each other. They then gestured to signal that they wanted to continue the grooming.
The study suggested the idea of “joint commitment” to shared attempts might have developed from our ape ancestors. The behavior among bonobos, in particular, has “some similarities to what, in humans, is considered ‘social etiquette (社交礼仪)’.”
【1】What do Durham University researchers find about apes?
A．They shake hands when reaching an agreement.
B．They signal each other when ending an interaction.
C．They communicate without having physical contact.
D．They develop a similar social system to human beings.
【2】What can be learned from paragraph 3?
A．Chimpanzees behave more politely than bonobos.
B．Bonobos are closer to human beings than chimpanzees.
C．Entry signals are more important than exit ones to chimpanzees.
D．Unfamiliar bonobos gesture more than familiar ones to start interacting.
【3】What might the underlined word “collaboration” in paragraph 4 mean?
A．Teamwork.
B．Friendship.
C．Comparison.
D．Communication.
【4】Why did Dr Heesen mention two bonobos she had seen in paragraph 5?
A．To prove the previous assumption was wrong.
B．To emphasize apes and children are similar.
C．To show the way of preventing interruption.
D．To introduce things apes often do together.
