21、A group of American tigers in a swampy(沼泽的)area of Brazil eat more fish than land animals, and are happy to socialise and play together, according to a new study. They are the first wild American tigers known to feed on large amounts of fish.

Researchers from Oregon State University in the US, with Brazilian colleagues studied a population of wild American tigers in the Brazilian Pantanal, a low-lying region of Brazil where water runs off nearby mountains to create swamps. It’s the world’s largest freshwater wetland habitat, but wildlife there can be difficult to study with few roads. Therefore, researchers set up cameras to film anything walking by. They also put tracking devices on 13 random American tigers.

Over 1,500 videos were gathered showing 69 individual American tigers. They are strong swimmers and the videos showed them eating lots of fish. They also ate reptiles living in the water, such as lizards. The analysis of 138 American tiger scats(粪便)also found they mostly contained bones of fish and reptiles living in the water—only 11% had mammal remains. This is surprising because mammals such as deer and monkeys form the main part of American tigers’ diets in other places. Even tigers in India’s wetlands eat mostly land-based mammals.

The cameras also delivered other surprises. American tigers usually enjoy being alone, only coming together to fight over territory, but the video showed two adult males playing, fishing and traveling together—a kind of behaviour that had never been seen before. Charlotte Eriksson, who led the study, thinks it possible if the wetlands provide adequate fish.

【1】In what way did the scientists conduct the research?

A．They observed some typical tigers.

B．They recorded the routines of the tigers.

C．They compared the wastes of the tigers.

D．They studied the surroundings for the tigers.

【2】Why were the scats of the tigers analysed?

A．To confirm the tigers live on fish.

B．To prove the tigers are good swimmers.

C．To claim the tigers are the fittest to survive.

D．To present the tigers live in a swampy area.

【3】What can we conclude from the interactions of the two tigers?

A．A dog does not eat a dog.

B．Two heads are better than one.

C．A friend in need is a friend indeed.

D．Where there is rich food, there is peace.

【4】What is the best title for this passage?

A．Wild American tigers’ diet changes.

B．A wetland habitat offers enough food.

C．Wild American tigers surprise experts.

D．A new species catches public attention.

22、Welcome to our online event — Future of Food and Agriculture

23、For the past 3000 years, when people thought of money, they thought of cash. From buying food to settling bar tabs, day-to-day dealings involved paper or clinking bits of metal. 【1】 Tapping your plastic on a terminal or swiping a smartphone has become normal, turning cash into an endangered.

Countries are removing cash at varying speeds. Cash accounts for just 6% of purchases by value in Norway. Britain is probably four or six years behind the Nordic countries. America is perhaps a decade behind. Outside the developed world, cash is still king. 【2】 In China, digital payments rose from 4% of all payments in 2016 to 34% in 2021.

【3】 One is demand—younger consumers want payment systems that plug closely into their digital lives. But equally important, banks and tech firms are developing fast, easy-to-use payment technologies.

In the main the prospect of a cashless economy is excellent news. 【4】 In rich countries, producing, sorting, storing and distributing it is estimated to cost about 0.5% of GDP. But that does not begin to capture the gains. When payments disappear, people and shops are less tempting to theft. Governments can keep closer tabs on tax evasion. Digitalization vastly expands the playground of small businesses and sole traders by enabling them to sell beyond their borders. 【5】

A．Cash is inefficient.

B．Cash is dying out because of two forces.

C．However, digital payments have taken off.

D．So cash plays an essential part in our daily life.

E．But even there its influence is being challenged.

F．Cash can motivate more rapid economic development.

G．It also creates a credit history, helping consumers borrow.

24、My parents immigrated to the U.S. from Guangdong, a province in southern China. The jobs they found in hot kitchens and clothing factories came with long hours, leaving them no time to learn English. So I spent most of my childhood, in Brooklyn, speaking Cantonese, the only language my parents understand. But as I continued my education, I gradually, or deliberately avoided using Cantonese. And as a result, Cantonese avoided me. As it slips from my memory, I also lose my ability to communicate with my parents. For years I have to rely on translation apps and online dictionaries for most of our conversations.

Actually, we speak on the phone only once a week and the conversations are much the same: “Have you eaten yet?” my father asks in Cantonese. Long pause. “No, not yet. You?” I reply. “Why not? It's so late,” my mother cuts in. Long pause. “Remember to drink more water and wear a mask outside,” she continues. “OK. You too.” Longest pause. “We'll stop bothering you, then.” At age thirty-two, I feel like someone they know instead of their daughter.

On my mom's sixty-fourth birthday, at the peak of the pandemic, I became increasingly aware of the limited amount of time together. Did I really want to spend the rest of our lives with a language barrier between us? I made it a goal to relearn Cantonese, and, ultimately, rebuild the relationship with my parents. I take Cantonese classes. I watch Wong Kar-wai movies. I repeat Maggie Cheung's words over and over until I get the tones just right. But, most of all, I call my parents and try to have more meaningful conversations with them, no matter how challenging it gets. Though Cantonese no longer feels natural for me to speak, it will always be my first language-even if it takes a lifetime for us to know each other.

【1】How does the author relearn Cantonese?

A．By asking her parents to teach her.

B．By using translation apps and dictionaries.

C．By reading Maggie Cheung's books.

D．By taking classes and watching movies.

【2】What is the problem with the author and her parents?

A．They find nothing to communicate.

B．They speak different languages.

C．They grew up in different cultures.

D．They know little about each other.

【3】What can we learn from the author's experience?

A．Language matters in communication.

B．Never forget your first language.

C．It's never too late to learn a language.

D．Call your parents before it's too late.

In my late childhood and early adolescence, two incidents happened that had a _________ effect on my development. One day my dad and I went to a store and took the front empty seats. Then a young white clerk came up and murmured politely: “I’ll be happy to _________ you if you’ll stand up and go to those seats in the back.” Dad immediately retorted, “There’s nothing wrong with these seats. We’re quite ____________ here.” “Sorry,” said the clerk, “but you’ll have to ____________.” “We’ll either buy shoes sitting here,” my father retorted, “____________ we won’t buy shoes at all.” So he led me out of the store. This was the first time I had seen Dad so furious. As we were walking down the street, he muttered: “I don’t care how long I have to live with this system. I will never accept it.”

I also remember riding with my dad another day when he ____________ drove past a stop sign. A policeman ____________ up to the car and said: “All right, boy, pull over and let me see your license.” My father instantly retorted: “Let me make it ____________ to you that you aren’t talking to a boy. If you persist in referring to me as a boy, I will be forced to act ____________ I don’t hear a word you are saying.” The policeman was so ____________ in hearing a Negro talk to him like that.
