21、 More than one in five species of maple trees faces extinction, a shocking new report has revealed.
The trees are experiencing a vast decline in habitat, due to urban development, timber harvesting, and agricultural expansion. “Time is running out for the world’s biodiversity,” said Douglas Justice, associate director at the University of British Columbia Botanical Garden. “Every recent survey of plants and animals in the wild points to this.” He continued, “This is happening nearly everywhere that rarer maples exist. And because of climate change, the narrow habitats that support species at the tops of mountains are quickly disappearing.”
The trees can be found in sub-tropical and tropical regions, as far south as Indonesia. The only species found in the UK, the field maple is not under threat. Not only are the trees a popular ornamental feature in parks and public spaces, but also they are a key part of the natural ecosystem in woodlands, as well as being an important timber crop in several countries.
China is home to the largest proportion of maples with 92 species. It has seen a number of trees become endangered due to urban expansion. Some 14 of the 23 maple trees at risk of extinction in the country are only found in China and have small populations and limited geographical ranges. “We still have an opportunity to save species from disappearance, but it will take expertise, resources and the cooperative efforts by the world’s botanical gardens to make it work,” Justice added.
One species in Mexico, the Acer binzayedii, is in “desperate need of conversation” despite only being discovered in 2017. “It is at risk from climate change in its cloud forest habitat and threatened by grazing, logging, and forest fires,” the report adds. The report recommends developing conversation plans, monitoring species currently not at risk to ensure populations are maintained, and adding those missing maple species to seed banks and the like.
BGCI(Botanic Gardens Conversation International)is now establishing a conversation program to address the conservation needs of maple species. Maple specialists will work together to develop comprehensive strategies to manage and deliver conservation action points for the species.
【1】What is the major reason for maple trees’ extinction?
A.A lack of scientific research.
B.The rarity of the new species.
C.The losses of their habitats.
D.Problems with the distribution.
【2】What’s Justice’s attitude to saving maple trees?
A.Hopeful.
B.Skeptical.
C.Reserved.
D.Negative.
【3】What are the last two paragraphs intended to tell us?
A.There is no guarantee of maintaining the tree populations.
B.It can never be too late to join hands to protect the species.
C.All maple trees of the species are on the edge of extinction.
D.Effective measures should be taken to conserve maple trees
【4】What can be a suitable title for the passage?
A.Time is running out for maple trees.
B.Maple trees are vital to the ecosystem.
C.Maple trees will stand tall in nature.
D.Climate change puts maple trees at risk.
22、 While Finland frequently tops international school rankings, Norway, the richest country in North Europe, performs much worse.【1】She is a Doctor of Philosophy from the University of Oslo. She found that education policies in Norway are controlled by politics while Finland leaves the development of education policies to researchers and educators.
Compared to students from other highly developed countries, Norwegian students have underperformed in science subjects for years.【2】But in Norway, the policy changes are governed by politicians. For example, politicians decide that how much time should be spent on math per semester (学期).
Afdal also found that although education experts are involved in policy changes as advisors, the politicians are in charge. That was obvious in the most recent educational reform in Norway: It has been closely governed by politicians.【3】
The most recent educational reform in Finland was undertaken in a nearly opposite way. Academic faculties (全体教师) from every university selected their own representatives.【4】The Ministry simply monitored the process. The role of educators in this process suggests a strong sense of trust in the Finnish professional environment.
【5】The answer may not be certain. According to Afdal, mending the education system can’t be done overnight and simply copying Finland’s way will be difficult. “Education policies reflect historical and cultural structures in society,”she said.“I think it’s very important that educators and researchers in Norway should be given more room to develop what Norwegian education should be like.”
A.Can Finland’s success be copied?
B.Is Norwegian education system a failure?
C.This has resulted in several educational reforms.
D.They together were responsible for policy changes.
E.The Minister has had a very firm control on the reform.
F.The education policies of the two countries are very similar.
G.Recently, Afdal looked at the differences between Finland and Norway.
23、 They make a guest appearance in at least half of the articles on Medical News Today. They are responsible for many of the biggest breakthroughs in medicine. However, the humble lab mice also shoulder much of the blame when the failure of drugs to translate from animal models to humans keeps worrying the whole of medical research. Should scientists abandon lab mice altogether?
Mice were introduced into the lab back in the 1920s. An ambitious young American geneticist Clarence Cook Little strongly believed that cancer was an inheritable (有遗传性的) disease, and that mice were the ideal subjects for his experiments.
Other animals were, and still are, used to study disease. Cats and dogs are popular, as well as chimpanzees. Of course, ethical (伦理的) considerations get more complicated the further up the food chain you go. And mice are in sufficient numbers for researchers to conduct thousands of trials. Add to that the problem of cost: A standard lab mouse costs about $20---far cheaper than a healthy cat or dog. So their importance in scientific research has become well-established.
We share more than 97 percent of our working DNA with mice, a consequence of a shared ancestor 75 million years ago. This similarity has been both a blessing and a curse. While we share many basic biological processes, it is the three percent of the genes which set us apart from mice that can have a big influence on how our bodies work.
Mice may not always be the perfect model for understanding our own bodies, but they do hold real value to researchers. Their usefulness will only increase as scientists work out better ways to modify (修改) their genes to compensate for their shortcomings. The difficult part of the issue may be that researchers need to be more critical as they evaluate the type of model that is best for their experiment.
In the end, the story of scientists’ relationship with lab mice will possibly be one of gradual advances to improve an imperfect system. This is exactly how most scientific research progresses — by critically examining what we know to expand our knowledge of what we do not.
【1】What does the underlined word “they” in the first paragraph refer to?
A.American geneticists B.cats and dogs
C.lab mice D.breakthroughs in medicine
【2】Paragraph 4 mainly answers the question “________?”
A.Why do drugs that work in mice fail when tried in humans
B.Why are mice the ideal subjects for medical research
C.Why do we and mice share more than 97% of our working DNA
D.How can we understand our own bodies by studying lab mice
【3】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Mice are in sufficient numbers because they are at the lower part of the food chain.
B.Many scientist are considering stopping the use of lab mice.
C.More genetically modified mice will be used in medical research in the near future.
D.It will become easier for researchers to choose the proper type of lab mice.
【4】What is the author’s attitude to the use of lab mice?
A.Disappointed B.Supportive
C.Indifferent D.disapproving
24、 The past week was by no means an ordinary week, 【1】.
This Monday, the topic was brought up again by my parents during dinner. 【2】. Seeing my hesitant look, Mom patted me on my shoulder and said that I still had enough time to think about it, her smile encouraging me to do more research.
Later that evening, I turned to the Internet for help. 【3】. As a science student, law could be a good choice. Business and computer science were also attracting me. No sooner had I noted down the majors one after another than I crossed them all off immediately, because what I wanted was a profession that could make a difference in people’s lives.
【4】. The moment “Role Models of Our Time” appeared on the screen, it caught my eye. The news story focused on superheroes-police officers, healthcare workers, deliverymen street cleaners-who guarded us selflessly to ensure our life ran normally. Suddenly, I realized my life's purpose-relieving pain and saving lives. And to pursue this call, I decided to specialize in medical science, just like my role models fighting against Covid-19 in Wuhan.
I jumped excitedly with joy at this idea. 【5】, saying that they would be so proud to see me in white. Now, determined to become a healthcare worker, whenever I start my schoolwork, I know I am studying for a noble cause.
A.Faced with so many choices, I seemed to be lost
B.Mom and Dad were also happy that I had found the compass for my future life
C.because of Chinese Ambassdor Liu Xiaoming’s exclusive interview on BBC’s Hardtalk
