21、 A day in the life of a sun bear is what you might expect from the name:sunny.In its natural habitat,the sun bear spends over 80 percent of its active waking time in daylight.
But when disturbed by human activity,that changes dramatically.In areas where people are pushing into the sun bear’s habitat,the animals are spending 90 percent of their waking time after dark.Effectively,the threat of human presence is making the sun bear change into “the moon bear”.
Led by scientists at the University of California,Berkeley,the study found that human activity is driving scores of mammals to shift their activity from the daytime into the dark hours of the night.As many animals have already been forced out of their local habitats,others are attempting to avoid interaction with humans by separating themselves in time rather than in space.
For the work,the researchers examined the behaviors of 64 mammal species,including deer,tigers,boars,and,of course,sun bears.They observed increased nocturnal(夜间的) behavior in a large majority of them,with species that are naturally active during the day tending to shift their activity to after dark,and those that are naturally nocturnal becoming more so.The mammals affected ranged across body size,habitat type,region of the world,and diet.
Human activities of all sorts affect animals’ lives,including activities like hunting,agriculture and land development,harvesting local natural resources,even hiking or walking through wild areas.Sport hunting in the Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe drove antelopes to spend more of their active waking hours at night,restricting their access to water.Similarly,hikers in the Santa Cruz Mountains in California made coyotes(郊狼) more nocturnal,forcing them to find new preys(猎物) among traditionally nocturnal animals.
The researchers warn that profound shifts in the natural behavior patterns of so many species disturb dynamics that have evolved over generations,leading to a series of unknown effects on the entire ecosystem.
【1】What did the study led by Berkeley find?
A.More animals separate themselves in space.
B.Human activity changes animals’ way of life.
C.Many animals were pushed out of their local habitats.
D.The sun bear spends over 80% waking time in daylight.
【2】What does the underlined word “that” refer to?
A.The sun bear. B.The waking time.
C.Human activity. D.The natural habitat.
【3】What does the author want to tell us in the text?
A.Human threat makes the sun bear nocturnal.
B.Animals are badly hurt by human presence.
C.Animals become more adaptable thanks to human.
D.Ecosystem may be reshaped due to human activity.
22、One of the most difficult problems a young person faces is deciding what to do.Some people,however, from the time they are six years old“know”that they want to be doctors or teachers or firefighters.but most of us do not get around to making a decision about a job until someone or something forces us to face the problem.
Choosing a job takes time,and there are a lot of things you have to think about as you try to decide what you would like to do.You may find that you will have to take special courses for a particular kind of work,or you may find out that you will need to get enough knowledge for a particular job.
Fortunately,there are a lot of people you can turn to for advice and help in making your decision.At most schools,there are teachers to give you information about jobs.And you can talk over your ideas with family members and friends who are always ready to listen and to offer suggestions.

23、A lot of people think that they are not good at learning a new language. 【1】
Good language learners look for opportunities to hear and use the new language outside of the classroom on a daily basis and consequently learn the language more quickly. 【2】 For instance, they can talk to salesmen, join sports clubs, or even talk to people in coffee stores. They might read newspapers and magazines in that language, watch movies, listen to podcasts, or join chat rooms. All of these are great opportunities to practice and can also be fun.
In addition, good language learners try different ways to make their message understood. For example, if they do not know the word for “laundromat,” they might say “the place where you can wash clothes.” 【3】 The point is that good language learners are creative and do not easily give up.
Finally, good language learners are prepared to take risks. 【4】 As a result, instead of being embarrassed by a mistake or getting frustrated when they do not understand, they see it as gaining a learning opportunity. For example, if they do not understand what someone said the first time, they are not afraid to ask them to repeat it again and again until they do understand. Or, if someone corrects their vocabulary or grammar, they try to remember instead of becoming shy about speaking.
【5】 It cannot be done in just a few months. Hopefully, these methods will help you be a good and confident language learner in the long run.
A.Becoming fluent in a language takes time.
B.But we can learn a new language through looking up new words.
C.If that does not work, they might even try drawing it or acting it out.
D.Besides, good language learners use various ways to learn English words.
E.They understand that making mistakes is natural and is necessary to learn.
F.If they’re studying in a country where the language is spoken, this is easy to do.
G.However, we can learn from good language learners to become better at languages.
24、 I’ve spent over a year in India,and in those 365 plus days,I’ve learned a lot about getting around Indian cities.My biggest lessons have been learned through being cheated,particularly by taxi and rickshaw(人力车) drivers,but that doesn’t mean those are bad ways to travel,as long as you know what you’re doing.Below are the best ways to get around the city of Delhi,India,and tips for how to keep from being the victim of scams(欺诈).
Taking taxis is a great way to get around the city of Delhi and chances are,if you arrive in Delhi by plane,as soon as you make it through customs,you’ll be swarmed by Indian taxi drivers.At the Delhi airport,be sure to arrange for a taxi to your hotel at one of the two Delhi Traffic Police Taxi Booths.One is inside the airport,and the other is outside.The key is to make sure to go to a booth run by the police,rather than by independent taxi drivers.
Rickshaws are one of my favourite ways to get around Indian cities,in part because it’s how the locals often travel.Auto-rickshaws are more common,but bicycle rickshaws are still used in Old Delhi.If you do have a chance to take a bicycle rickshaw,you should do it at least once for a unique experience that should only set you back about 15 rupees.Auto-rickshaw rates around Delhi range between 30 and 80 rupees,depending on the distance.
If you really want to travel around Delhi like the locals,take a public bus.Indian buses become very crowded and most do not have air conditioning.They are,however,very cheap.A bus trip won’t set you back any more than 15 rupees,as long as you stay within the city limits.Since Indian buses get so crowded,try to board the bus at the start of the route so you can get a seat.
The train is a great way to get around within the city of Delhi.Fares are reasonable,between 6 and 22 rupees.All departure announcements are in both Hindi and English,and tokens can be purchased for between 6 and 22 rupees.
【1】The author is trying to in Delhi through this text.
A.give some advice of travelling B.expect us to travel around
C.show his/her experiences D.explain the difficulties of travelling
【2】To avoid being cheated,you ought to if you want to take a taxi at the Delhi airport.
A.pay more to the drivers to keep safe B.show your ticket to the driver
C.go to a police-run booth D.go out of the airport
【3】The author suggests taking a rickshaw in order to .
A.save some money B.enjoy the comfortable trip
C.gain a unique experience D.help the local rickshaw drivers
【4】What can we infer from the passage?
A.You won’t have to pay much if you travel around by bus in India.
B.It will be difficult for you to get a seat if you get on the bus halfway.
C.A rickshaw driver only charges whatever amount you give him.
D.You’ll have to speak English if you travel around in India.
【5】Which may be the topic that follows?
A.Hotel recommendations in Delhi B.Weather conditions in Delhi
C.Food and drink in Delhi D.Car rentals in Delhi
