21、 Over the past half-century, North America has lost more than a quarter of its entire bird population, or around 3 billion birds.
“We saw this great net loss across the entire bird community,” says Ken Rosenberg, a scientist in Ithaca, N.Y. “But we also knew that other bird populations were increasing. And what we didn’t know is whether there was a net change.”
Common birds with decreasing populations include dark-eyed juncos and red-winged blackbirds, says Rosenberg. Grassland birds have suffered a 53% decrease, and more than a third of the shorebird population has been lost. Bird populations that have increased include raptors (猛禽), like the bald eagle, and waterfowl.
“The numbers of ducks and geese are larger than they’ve ever been, and that’s not an accident,” says Rosenberg. It’s because hunters who mainly want to see healthy waterfowl populations for sportful hunting have raised their voices.
“People are doing a wonderful effort to try and understand our bird populations with a lot of uncertainty, but the actual systems that we have in place to try and answer really tough questions like this are really far short of what we need,” Ted Simons in North Carolina State University says.
“In all, the conclusions weren’t necessarily surprising,” says Kristen Ruegg, a biologist at Colorado State University. There have been hints (暗示) that the loss was this large from all kinds of sources over the past few years. But in most cases, these were species-specific records of local extinctions or models of projected losses, resulting from things like climate change. This really sort of wakes people up to the idea that this is happening.
Elise Zipkin, a quantitative ecologist at Michigan State University, says the loss can be a big problem. “Just because a species hasn’t gone extinct (灭绝) or isn’t even necessarily close to extinction, it might still be in trouble,” she says. We need to be thinking about conservation (保护) efforts for that.”
【1】Which of the following becomes more than before?
A.Dark-eyed juncos. B.The bald eagle.
C.Grassland birds. D.The shorebirds.
【2】Why do duck and goose populations increase?

【3】What does the underlined word “tough” mean in Paragraph 5?

C.Difficult. D.Official.
【4】What can we infer from Elise’s words in the last paragraph?
A.Bird loss can be a big problem. B.Climate change causes part of bird loss.
C.Protecting birds is quite necessary. D.What is happening is worth considering.
【5】How does the author support the subject of the text?
A.By giving examples. B.By showing ideas.
C.By explaining numbers. D.By providing research results.
22、 The rising costs of health care have become a problem for many countries in the world. To deal with the problem, it is suggested that the government should spend more money on disease prevention. Actually, many kinds of diseases can be prevented in many ways and preventing a disease is usually much cheaper than treating.
One effective way of disease prevention is to eat more healthy food. For instance, keeping a balanced diet, such as not eating too much animal fat and regularly eating vegetables and fruits, seems to be quite important.
Another useful and costless way of prevention is to exercise often, which is necessary for a healthy mind and body. Regular exercise, such as running, walking, playing sports is a good way to make people feel better.
In addition, health education, included in disease prevention, plays a key role in improving people's health. By giving people more information about health, the government could help people understand the importance of disease prevention and ways to achieve it.
However, stressing disease prevention does not mean medical treatment is unimportant. After all, prevention and treatment are just two different means towards the same effect. In a word, we could save money on health care and treat patients more successfully if the government spends more money on disease prevention.
【1】What does the text mainly talk about?
A.A balanced diet. B.Disease prevention.
C.Rising costs of health care. D.Modern medical development.
【2】How many ways are mentioned for disease prevention?

【3】What does the underlined phrase "For instance" mean in the second paragraph?
A.In fact. B.In case. C.For example. D.What's more.
【4】What does the writer want to tell us?
A.Different ways of exercise should be introduced.
B.Some solutions to medical treatment should be provided.
C.Medical treatment is not as important as disease prevention.
D.Disease prevention is of great importance to people's health.
【5】Where is the text most likely from?
A.A travel journal. B.An advertisement.
C.A shopping website. D.A health care magazine.

24、Growing up in the mountainous Sierra de Penamayor, in Asturias, northen Spain, Aladino Montes had been shooting deer ever since he was a child, but his life as a hunter came to an abrupt end 10 years ago, when he met Bambi, an adorable deer that has remained by his side ever since. Aladino has never shot an animal since.
53-year-old Aladino recalls driving through the mountains in his little jeep, ten years ago, when he saw a couple of cows being followed by a skinny little deer. Deer don’t usually hang out with cows, so he approached the animals for a closer look. That’s when he noticed that the deer had several wounds and would have probably died without proper medical care. He put the injured animal in his car and drove back to his house when he nursed it back to health. But instead of running back towards the forests, the deer stayed by Aladino’s side. They’ve been best friends ever since.
He always loved animals, but his father had taught him to hunt deer as a child. He did it for food, not sports, but ever since he adopted Bambi, he hasn’t shot a single animal.
Aladino’s cabin sits at 1,140 meters above sea level, offering tourists a beautiful view of the surrounding mountainside. On clear days, one can see all of central Asturias all the way to Gijon, but most people don’t travel to Les Praeres for the view, they come to see Bambi, the friendly deer.
Sometimes, Bambi will elk straight into the bar in search of Aladino and leave everyone with their mouth open, or even let people pet her. But she’s always most comfortable at the side of her rescuer. She’s so relaxed around him that she makes other deer feel safe as well.
【1】What does the underlined word “abrupt” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. Quick. B. Happy.
C. Sudden. D. Slow.
【2】What made Aladino give up hunting?
A. The kind cows. B. His kind-hearted nature.
C. The deer’s bad conditions. D. His rescue of the wounded deer.
【3】What do you know about the little deer Bambi now?
A. It is a tourist attraction. B. It is doing nothing.
C. It is a symbol of friendship. D. It is living under the natural state.
【4】What does the deer Bambi like to do best?
A. Go to the bar. B. Stay around Aladino.
C. Let people pet her. D. Attract other deer to some near.
25、There was once a boy called Joseph Webb who always loved to show off how many friends he had at school. One day his ________ said to him, "Joseph, I bet(打赌) you a big bag of popcorn that you don't have as many friends as you think. I'm sure many of them are nothing more than companions."
Joseph ________ the bet at once. However, he wasn't sure how to test whether his schoolmates were real friends or not, so he asked his grandfather. The old man answered, "Wait a minute." Then he left and ________ soon as if carrying something in his hands, but Joseph could see nothing there.
"Take it. It's a very________ chair because it's invisible(看不见). It's rather ________ to sit on, but if you take it to school and ________ to sit on it, you'll activate(激活) its ________ and it'll be able to tell who your real friends are."
Joseph, brave and determined, set off for ________ with the strange and invisible chair. At break time he asked everyone to form a ________, and he put himself in the middle, with his chair. Having difficulty seeing it, Joseph tried to sit on it but he ________ the seat and fell straight onto his backside. Everyone around him had a pretty good laugh.
"Wait! Let me try again," Joseph said. But again, he missed the seat, ________ more surprised looks and a few catcalls(尖叫,喝倒彩). Joseph didn't ________ and kept trying to sit on the magic chair. But he kept falling to the ground…until, suddenly he tried again but didn't ________. Looking around, Joseph saw three of his best friends holding him up. ________, many others he had thought of as friends had done nothing but made fun of him.
And there, the show came to an end. Joseph understood that true friends were those who care for him, and not just the________ that happened to be passing by. And someone who took joy in his misfortunes(不幸) was even less of a friend.
