21、Elephants don’t forget-at least, female(雌性的) elephants don’t. Elephant families are matriarchal. And the social knowledge gained by the oldest females is the key to a family group's survival (生存), according to a study published in April by Karen McComb, a biologist at Sussex University in England.

Elephants announce their presence by making a deep, long sound, a practice referred to as contact calling(联络呼叫). An unfamiliar call may mean that an elephant from outside the family group is nearby. A stranger can cause trouble. Interrupting feeding or disturbing the young. So an elephant matriarch signals the family to gather around her; then they all lift their trunks in the air to smell the unfamiliar caller. False alarms can disturb the group and take time and energy away from feeding, so survival may depend in part on getting it right.

Working with Cynthia Moss, who founded the Amboseli Elephant Research Project in Kenya 30 years ago, McComb tested the social knowledge of 21 Amboseli elephant families with matriarchs 27 to 67 years old. She played recordings of contact calls to each family and found that the oldest matriarchs were much better at picking out unfamiliar calls. In fact, a group with a matriarch in her fifties was several thousand times more likely to form into a group upon hearing an unfamiliar contact call than when hearing a familiar call. However, families with younger matriarchs were less than twice as likely to gather together upon hearing an unfamiliar contact call as compared with a familiar call. And they gathered together a lot. Moreover, the social knowledge of older matriarchs translated into favorable results: Families with older matriarchs produced more baby elephants in each female-reproductive year.

This finding shows how difficult it is to protect the oldest members of elephant families. As elephants age, they continue to grow larger, as do their much wanted tusks(象牙). So the older-and wiser-a matriarch is, the greater the chance she will be killed. About 800,000 elephants have been killed by people in the past 20 years.

【1】What does the underlined word in Para 2 "matriarch" mean?

A. An old member of an elephant family

B. A female head of an elephant family

C. A wise elephant

D. A large elephant

【2】The research with recordings of contact calls shows .

A. How fast elephants form into groups

B. How important the age of a leading elephant is

C. How frightened elephants are when hearing a strange call

D. How frequently old elephants call other members of the family

【3】When do elephants form into a group?

A. When they are feeding the young．

B. When they see a familiar elephant．

C. When they are giving birth to baby elephants．

D. When the leading elephant gives out a warning．

【4】The older a female elephant is, _____.

A. the stronger she will be

B. the poorer memory she will have

C. the more useless her tusks will be

D. the more likely she will be killed

22、A new study found the greater the improvement in people’s handwashing habits at airports, the more noticeable the effect on slowing the infectious (传染的) diseases, including the flu. The findings were published in late December, 2019, just before the recent coronavirus (冠状病毒) outbreak, but the study' s authors say that its results would apply to any such disease and are relevant to the present outbreak.

People can be surprisingly casual about washing their hands, even in crowded locations like airports where people from many different locations are touching surfaces such as chair armrests, check-in entrances, security checkpoint trays, and restroom doorknobs and taps. On average, only about 20 percent of people at airports have clean hands. The others are potentially polluting everything they touch with whatever infections they may be carrying.

Improving handwashing at all of the world's airports to be three times that rate, so that 60 percent of travelers have clean hands at any given time, would have the greatest effect, potentially slowing global disease spread by almost 70 percent, the researchers found. Adopting such measures at so many airports and reaching such a high level of obedience may be impractical, but the new study suggests that it could potentially be accomplished through education, posters, public announcements, and perhaps improving access to handwashing facilities. It could slow the global rate of the spread of a disease by about 24 percent, they found.

The findings are consistent with recommendations made by both the U. S. Centers for Disease Control and the World Health Organization. Both have indicated that hand hygiene (卫生) is the most efficient and cost-effective way to control disease spread. While both organizations say that other measures can also play a useful role in limiting disease spread, such as use of surgical face masks, airport closures, and travel limitations, hand hygiene is still the first line of defense-and an easy one for individuals to implement.

【1】What is most people’s attitude to handwashing?

A．Favorable.

B．Careless.

C．Doubtful.

D．Cautious.

【2】What did the study suggest on increasing handwashing rate at airports?

A．Establishing higher hygiene standards.

B．Making handwashing fun and enjoyable.

C．Passing special laws to require handwashing.

D．Raising people's awareness of handwashing.

【3】Why does the author mention the World Health Organization?

A．To introduce other measures.

B．To stress the importance of it.

C．To tell who carried out the study.

D．To make the study results more convincing.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A．People have many good habits at airports.

B．Handwashing reduces infectious diseases.

C．New coronavirus is breaking out.

D．There is great improvement in handwashing.

23、Yoga（瑜伽）is an ancient practice that helps create a sense of union body, mind, and spirit. It brings us balance. After a long time of practicing yoga, you no longer just practice it — you love it.

Yoga becomes part of your physical life. Your body grows stronger, more toned（有弹性的）, and more flexible as you move from one pose to another. I spent a week in Mexico at a yoga retreat, and it was the first vacation on which I lost weight. “Rather than building muscles, yoga builds muscle tone,”says Shakta Kaur Khalsa, author of KISS Guide to Yoga. “Because yoga helps maintain a balanced metabolism（新陈代谢）, and it also helps to control weight.Additionally, yoga stretches muscles lengthwise, causing fat around the cells disappear, thus losing weight.”

I do yoga poses throughout the day. After hours at my computer, I stretch my stiff shoulders and arms. When I need an increase in energy, I do energizing poses. When I am feeling exhausted at the end of the day, I do restorative（恢复体力的）poses.

Yoga becomes part of your mental life. Yoga teaches you to focus on breathing while you hold the poses. This attention to breath is calming; it dissolves（使消除）stress and anxiety. I use yogic breathing on the tennis court, in the dentist’s chair, and when I’m stuck in traffic.

You should always leave a yoga practice feeling energized, but not tired. If you feel tired after yoga,it means you spent the time “fighting” yourself, trying to force yourself into poses. In yoga, you “surrender” to the poses by letting go of the tension.

【1】According to the second paragraph, yoga can help people ___.

A. lose weight   B. make friends

C. be flexible in thinking   D. grow tall

【2】Why does a person feel tired after yoga?

A. Because when practicing yoga, people will consume a lot of energy.

B. Because he or she surrenders to the poses by letting go of the tension.

C. Because he o she doesn’t do yoga poses naturally.

D. Because yoga doesn’t benefit all the people.

【3】What would be the best title for this passage?

A. What’s yoga?   B. The benefits of yoga.

C. How do I do yoga poses?   D. The varieties of yoga.

【4】What will be talked about if this passage continues?

A. The disadvantages of yoga.

B. Yoga is becoming popular all over the world.

C. Encouraging people to do yoga.

D. Yoga is becoming part of your spiritual life.

24、A man traveled in the Yukon (in Alaska) on an extremely cold morning with a husky wolf-dog. The cold did not shock the man, a newcomer to the Yukon, who planned to meet his friends by six o’clock at an old claim. As it grew colder, he realized his unprotected cheekbones would freeze, but he did not pay it much attention. He walked along a creek trail, mindful of the dangerous and concealed springs that could weaken the ice. At twelve-thirty he stopped for lunch and built a fire.

He continued his journey, but broke through the ice and soaked himself halfway to the knees. He cursed his luck. His feet and fingers were numb, but he managed to gather enough wood to get a fire going. He remembered the old-timer from Sulphur Creek who had warned him that no man should travel in the Yukon alone when the temperature was fifty degrees below zero. Before he could take off his boots, an avalanche of snow falls from a tree, putting out his fire.

The man was scared and struggled to build a new fire, but his frozen feet and hands made it difficult. At that time, he realized that the old-timer’s suggestions were right. If he had a trail-mate, he would be in no danger—the trail-mate would make the fire. A flame finally caught but soon went out.

The man decided to kill the dog and put his hands inside its warm body to restore his circulation. But he could not kill the dog, since he was unable to pull out his knife.

The man realized that frostbite was now a less worrisome prospect than death. He ran along the creek trail, trying to restore circulation, the dog at his heels. But his endurance gave out, and finally he fell and could not rise. He decided he should meet death in a more dignified manner.

The man fell off into a comfortable sleep. The dog did not understand why the man was sitting in the snow like that without making a fire. The husky waited, realized the man was dead and then headed for the camp where there were the other food-providers and fire-providers.

【1】Which of the following shows the correct order of the plot of the story?

A．travel alone—step into concealed springs—build a fire—the fire went out—try to kill the dog—run in a panic—freeze to death

B．build a fire—travel alone—step into concealed springs—the fire went out—try to kill the dog—run in a panic—freeze to death

C．travel alone—step into concealed springs—build a fire—the fire went out—run in a panic—try to kill the dog—freeze to death

D．step into concealed springs—travel alone—build a fire—try to kill the dog—the fire went out—run in a panic—freeze to death

【2】What can we infer about the old-timer from Sulphur Creek?

A．He ever travelled in the Yukon alone at a very low temperature.

B．He was quite experienced and kind to warn the man of the danger.

C．He was rather conservative and didn’t believe in young people.

D．He thought Yukon was a place that could never be conquered by humans.

【3】Which of the following statements is True according to the story?

A．The man failed to make a fire for lack of enough dry wood.

B．The man tried to restore circulation by running and it did work.

C．The concealed springs added to the danger of walking along the creek trail.

D．The dog was not killed by the man at last because of the man’s conscience.

【4】Which of the following statements does not agree with the themes of this story?

A．The fittest survive.

B．Man can control nature.

C．Man should hold great awe for nature.

D．Nature is indifferent to human struggle.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

About twenty minutes he waited, and then a tall man in a long overcoat, with collar turned up to his ears, hurried across from the opposite side of the street. He went directly to the waiting man.

“Is that you, Bob?” he asked, doubtfully.

“Is that you, Jimmy Wells?” cried the man in the door.

“Bless my heart!” exclaimed the new arrival, grasping both the other’s hands with his own. “It’s Bob! I was certain I’d find you here if you were still alive. Well, well, well! —twenty years is a long time. How has the West treated you, old man?”

“It has given me everything I asked it for. You’ve changed lots, Jimmy. I never thought you were so tall by two or three inches (英寸).”

“Oh, I grew a bit after I was twenty.”

“Doing well in New York, Jimmy?”

“Moderately. I have a position in one of the city departments. Come on, Bob; we’ll go around to a place I know of, and have a good long talk about old times.”

The two men started up the street, arm in arm. The man from the West, his egotism (自我) enlarged by success, was beginning to outline the history of his career. The other, submerged (埋) in his overcoat, listened with interest.

At the corner stood a drug store, brilliant with electric lights. When they came into this glare each of them turned simultaneously (同时地) to gaze upon the other’s face.

The man from the West stopped suddenly and released his arm

“You’re not Jimmy Wells,” he snapped. “Twenty years is a long time, but not long enough to change a man’s nose from a Roman (鹰钩鼻) to a pug (狮子鼻).”

“It sometimes changes a good man into a bad one,” said the tall man. “You’ve been under arrest (被捕) for ten minutes, ‘Silky’ Bob. Chicago thinks you may have dropped over our way and wants to have a chat with you. Going quietly, are you? That’s sensible. Now, before we go on to the police station here’s a note I was asked to hand you. You may read it here at the the window. It’s from Patrolman (巡警) Wells.”

The man from the West unfolded the little piece of paper handed him. His hand was steady when he began to read, but it trembled a little by the time he had finished. The note was rather short.

“Bob: I was at the appointed place on time. When you struck the match to light your cigar I saw it was the face of the man wanted (被通缉的) in Chicago. Somehow I couldn’t do it myself, so I went around and got a plain clothes man to do the job. ——JIMMY.”
