21、September 23 marks the start of a new season. 【1】 In Great Britain, the third season of the year usually has only one name: autumn. But if you travel across the Atlantic, you’ll find that people use both fall and autumn interchangeably when referring to this time of year, making it the only season in the English language with two widely accepted names. 【2】

According to Dictionary.com, fall isn’t a modern name that followed the more traditional autumn. The two terms are actually first recorded within a few hundred years, with the term fall being used even a bit earlier.

【3】 The word is of Germanic origin and meant “picking” or “collecting”, a nod to the act of gathering and preserving crops in the field before winter. In the 1500s, English speakers began referring to the season separating the hot and cold months as either the fall of the leaf or the spring of the leaf, or fall and spring for short. 【4】 By the end of the 1600s, autumn, from the French word “automne” and the Latin “autumnus”, had overtaken fall as the standard British term for the third season.

Around the same time England adopted autumn, the first-ever British American colonists (殖民者) were voyaging to North America. 【5】 While the former fell out of fashion overseas, it established itself in the local vocabulary by the time America won its independence. Today, using both words to describe the season before winter is still a unique American behavior.

A．With them they brought the words fall and autumn.

B．The Americans prefer using fall to using autumn.

C．However, what exactly you should call that season depends on where you are.

D．But for some reason, only spring had staying power in Britain.

E．It is time to gather apples, rice and other things for the farmers.

F．So what is it about the season that makes it so special?

G．Before either word appeared, the season between summer and winter was known as harvest.

22、Cyberattacks are like thievery in the dark-mostly invisible and highly dangerous. As proved on Sept 5, the cyberattack on the email system of Northwestem Polytechnical University in Xi’an, Shaanxi province, was launched by the US National Security Agency.

The cyberattack was launched against the university on April 12. The university is known for its education and research programs in the fields of astronautics and marine technology engineering, reported China Daily.

The university became aware of the attack by noticing phishing(网络钓鱼) emails with Trojan horse programs. Such emails, which were disguised as research reviews, invitations to academic events and opportunities to study abroad, were sent to teachers and students at the university. By tricking them into clicking the links and giving away their sign-in information, the attacker aimed to steal university data.

However, apart from the phishing emails which were visible to the public, the investigation team, including the National Computer Virus Emergency Response Center and internet security company 360, revealed in a report that over 40 cyberattack weapons were used. The weapons were used to steal core technology data, such as network management data and core operational data. It thus confirmed that the attack had severely endangered national security.

The incident showed the public a glimpse of cyberattacks between nations. Zhou Hongyi, founder of 360, said in the report that national-level hacker armies and organizations have become the biggest threat to China’s cybersecurity. “Cyberattacks launched by a country have clear targets. Hackers may first penetrate(秘密潜入) key information systems in China and wait for the right opportunities to steal information.” Zhou said.

Cyberattacks may seem far away from our daily activities online, but every internet user, no matter young or old, is a potential victim. For cyberattacks between countries, we may be unknowingly used to breach(破坏) our country’s network security. One simple way of preventing cyberattacks is to be watchful-raising your awareness of cybercrimes and keeping an eye on anything unusual when online.

【1】Why did the US National Security Agency launch the cyberattack?

A．To damage key systems.

B．To steal personal information.

C．To gain access to sensitive data.

D．To seek certain financial benefits.

【2】What aspect of cyberattacks between nations does paragraph 5 tell us about?

A．Their origins.

B．Their purpose.

C．Their influence.

D．Their characteristics.

【3】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A．Some people are safe from cyberattacks.

B．Cyberattacks are not difficult to detect.

C．Anyone can be used to threaten national security.

D．Cyberattacks are the biggest threat to national security.

【4】What does the author suggest people do to prevent cyberattacks?

A．Watch the news regularly.

B．Be alert to anything strange online.

C．Use the internet as little as possible.

D．Learn in-depth about cyber crimes

23、   African crested rats (非洲黄冠鼠) — rabbit sized furballs from East Africa — are finally starting to show their secrets, In 2011, scientists discovered that the rats laced their fur with a deadly poison. Now researchers report that these animals are surprisingly friendly toward each other and may even live in family groups.

Sara Weinstein, a biologist, was studying the poisonous rats but initially wasn't focused on their behavior, “The original goal was to look into the genetics (基因学),” she says. She wanted to understand how the rats were able to apply poison to their fur without becoming sick.

The rats chew leaves and bark from poison arrow trees and apply their now poisonous spit to their hair. The tree contains a class of chemicals that are very dangerous to most animals. “If we were to sit there and chew on one of these branches, we would certainly not be going about our normal activities,” Weinstein says. A person would probably throw up. And if someone consumed enough of the poison, their heart would stop beating.

But scientists didn't know how common the friendly behavior was in the rats since the 2011 report focused on just one animal. To study the rats, the research team set up cameras to capture images (捕捉影像) of the animals at night. But in 441 nights, the rats tripped the cameras' motion detectors only four times. The rats are probably too small and slow to set off the cameras, Weinstein says.

The scientists placed several of the animals in a “rat house”, a small cow shed with video cameras inside. In the 432 hours of rat videos with multiple rats in one space, the researchers could see how the rats interacted. At times, the animals would “comb” each other's fur. Sometimes, male and female rats formed a pair. A few of the adult rats also took care of young rats. The researchers think that these behaviors indicate that the animals might live in pairs that raise the young, as a family group.

【1】What had Sara Weinstein planned to study about African crested rats?

A．Why they live together.

B．Their strange behavior.

C．How they survive alone.

D．The genetics about them.

【2】What can we know about the arrow trees?

A．Most animals feed on their leaves.

B．A leaf of them is deadly to humans.

C．They make African crested rats throw up.

D．They are harmless to African crested rats.

【3】Why did the cameras fail to capture images of African crested rats at night?

A．They seldom got started to work.

B．The rats often knocked them down.

C．The rats were too small to notice,

D．It was too dark to take clear photos.

【4】What did the researchers find about the African crested rats in the “rat house”?

A．They quickly separated.

B．They hardly interacted.

C．They behaved socially.

D．They put themselves first.

24、Global Sea Mineral Resources (GSR) is one of several companies that hope to begin mining the seabed on an industrial scale in the coming years, perhaps as early as 2024. Some think of the seabed as a sustainable source of the metals needed to produce batteries for electric vehicles or smartphones. Meanwhile, scientists are trying to figure out just how much ecological damage deep-sea mining would do.

The short answer is a lot, according to some European scientists who’ve been monitoring GSR’s efforts and reported initial results recently at a virtual meeting. But it is too soon to tell how much of the damage would be permanent or whether it should be considered excessive (过度的).

Each mining operation like GSR’s in the eastern Pacific would remove the “biologically active” surface layer from about 200 to 300 square kilometers (77 to 166 square miles) of seafloor each year, said Matthias Haeckel, a marine biochemist at GEOMAR Helmholtz Center for Ocean Research in Kiel, Germany.“If mining takes place, it should be done without loss of biodiversity and ecosystem functions,“ said Ann Vanreusel, a marine biologist at Ghent University in Belgium.

That’s a hard standard to define, however, let alone enforce (实施)，because so little is known about deep-sea ecology. On two expeditions to the Pacific region targeted by GSR and other companies, the researchers identified thousands of species-70 to 90 percent of which were new to science.

“That in itself is a great example to show that, ’Hey, we do not have a good understanding of how this ecosystem operates’, ”says Diva Amon, a marine biologist and National Geographic explorer. In a review published this month in Marine Policy, Amon and her colleagues argued that at least a decade should be spent filling the gaps in scientific understanding before commercial deep-sea mining could begin.

【1】Why does the seabed attract Global Sea Mineral Resources?

A．It has biodiversity.

B．It is abundant in metals for industry.

C．It is biologically active.

D．It contains sustainable batteries for vehicles.

【2】Which of the following is the possible reason why scientists are concerned about deep-sea mining?

A．They find its damage is ever-lasting.

B．They don’t know whether it will do ecological damage.

C．They have difficulty in accurately judging the degree of its damage to ecology.

D．They think it’s hard for mining companies to make and carry out a related standard.

【3】What’s the writer’s attitude toward deep-sea mining?

A．Optimistic.

B．Cautious.

C．Objective.

D．Pessimistic.
