21、Coral reefs (珊瑚礁) are full of varieties of sea life, including fish. Some fish are more attractive to humans than others, and their semblance could be influencing how we decide which species to protect.

To understand the relationship between fish beauty standards and conservation needs, researchers showed 481 photographs of reef fishes to 13, 000 members of the public. With that data, they then trained a computer model to make following predictions for an additional 4, 400photographs of 2, 417 of the most common reef fish species. They next compared the aesthetic (美感) rating of each species with other characteristics, including evolutionary history, distinctiveness from other fish, “ecological originality”(which includes traits such as diet, habitat, body size and behaviors), conservation status and importance to fisheries.

After processing the numbers, researchers found that the fish humans rated as the most beautiful — those with bright, colorful, round bodies — were also less ecologically and evolutionarily distinct. Prettier fish were also more likely to be listed as species of “least concern” on the International Union for Conservation of Nature(IUCN)Red List. On the contrary, the fish that humans found to be the least attractive were the most ecologically and evolutionarily distinct, and they were more likely to be listed as “threatened” on the IUCN Red List. Unattractive species also tended to be more important to commercial fisheries, which puts them at higher risk for overfishing.

At a time when conservation funding and energy is limited, uglier fish are likely being overshadowed by more beautiful fish, which could have serious consequences for coral reef ecosystems. “The less attractive species have the highest ecological distinctiveness, and thus provide the highest diversity of ecological functions, ”they write in the paper. “We thus conclude that the raised extinction risk of the less attractive fish species might also have great effects on reef ecosystem functioning. To minimize the influence of aesthetic biases (偏见), scientists, conservation groups and policymakers may need to change how they communicate about wildlife. Raising awareness of the important roles that uglier fish play in reef ecosystems could help them obtain more support.”

【1】The underlined word “semblance” in the first paragraph most probably means “ ”.

A．living style

B．growth speed

C．size

D．appearance

【2】How did the researchers carry out their study?

A．By analyzing aesthetic ratings of fish.

B．By observing fish among coral reefs.

C．By referring to previous similar studies.

D．By conducting an online questionnaire.

【3】What do the researchers suggest we do?

A．Make laws to punish those who overfish.

B．Build natural reserves worldwide for uglier fish.

C．Go all out to have people’s aesthetic levels improved.

D．Educate people on the ecological importance of uglier fish.

【4】What’s the best title for the text?

A．Ugly Fish Also Need Love

B．Appearance Matters Most to Fish

C．Ugly Fish Live Shorter Lives

D．Coral Reefs Rely Heavily on Fish

23、As a child, I was really afraid of the dark and of getting lost. These fears were very real and caused me some uncomfortable moments.

Maybe it was the strange way things looked and sounded in my own room at night that scared me so much. There was never complete darkness, but always a streetlight or passing car lights, which made clothes on the back of a chair take on the shape of a wild animal. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the curtains seem to move when there was no wind. A very low sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder than in the day. My imagination (想象) would run wild, and my heart would beat fast. I would lie very still so that the “enemy” would not discover me.

Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost, especially on the way home from school. Every morning I got on the school bus right near my home. That was no problem. After school, though, when all the buses were lined up along the street, I was afraid that I would get in the wrong one and be taken to some other strange places. On school or family trips to a park or a museum, I wouldn’t let the leaders out of my sight.

Perhaps one of the worst fears of all I had as a child was that of not being liked or accepted by others. Being popular was so important to me then, and the fear of not  being liked was a serious one.

One of the processes growing up is being able to realize and overcome our fears. Understanding the things that scared us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life.

【1】The author had _______ kind(s) of fears when she was a child.

A．three   B．two  C．one   D．none

C．take a bus by herself

D．make sure not to take a wrong bus

【4】Which of the following would be possibly true when she was a child

A．She was always the leader of the others.

B．She always got poor grades.

C．She thought being popular among people was important.

D．She was not liked by others at all.

24、How to Save Water During a Drought?

The drought is happening because of climate change. California just had its driest year in a century. Gov. Gavin Newsom has declared a statewide drought emergency, asking all Californians to save water in every way possible. 【1】 , though you can’t save California on your own

Small things can add up. You’ve probably heard these tips before, but consider this a refresher course: Don’t let the water running while you wash dishes in the sink or washing, brushing or shaving. 【2】 . Water outdoor plants in the morning or evening, so you don’t lose as much water to evaporation in the midday sun.

Replace old appliances. How old is your toilet? If it’s from before 1990, it could be using up to 6 gallons per flush. Newer toilets may use as little as 1.28 gallons or less. 【3】 . Upgrading your dishwasher and washing machine and any other water-intensive appliance will also pay savings dividends(红利), in both water and energy costs.

【4】 . Keep an eye on your water bill. If it creeps higher than normal without a good reason, investigate whether you have a leak somewhere. Depending on the type of water meter(仪表)you have, you may be able to monitor the meter with all your water turned off and see whether anything is still moving through your system, 【5】 .

Consider your overall lifestyle of water usage and do everything within your power to use less water. Individual action can make a big change.

A．Focus on the water bill

B．Individual action matters

C．Find out the potential problem

D．They can save a lot per household per day

25、Doubling as educational centers and conservation centers, museums play an important role in the protection of ________. Although these institutions (机构) ________ in size and specialty, the task of most museums is around the display and care of their collections.

The word museum ________ from “mouseion”, the Greek term for “a holy place for the Muses”. In classical Greek mythology, the nine Muses are the goddesses of the arts and sciences, making them perfect protectors for these ________ institutions.

Earliest museums were private collections and were only accessible to a narrow circle of people. They displayed ________ and curious natural objects and works of art. Some of them even ________ “wonder rooms” or “cabinets of curiosities”.

In 1683, an Englishman named Elias Ashmole donated the contents of his wonder room to Oxford University, forming the ________ of the Ashmolean Museum. Believing that “the knowledge of Nature is very necessary to human life and health,” Ashmole wanted to ________ the public through his unprecedented (前所未有的) donation. Following his footsteps, many like-minded collectors across Europe shifted their focus from ________ use to public access in the late 17th and 18th centuries. During this time, world-class museums began to make their art collections accessible to the public. The opening of these institutions ________ a string of similar movements in the 19th century.

Today, the importance of public institutions is stronger than ever before. ________ taking care of collections and making them accessible to the public, many museums are using new technologies to improve their public programs, ________ their collections, and share their research.
