21、   The last time wild bison(野牛) set foot in the UK, the Middle Stone Age was coming to a close as the English people living in caves discovered farming and started clearing forests for raising farm animals. Now, 6,000 years on, wild bison are coming back to our soil as part of a major conservation project.

In an effort to protect the European bison, a small group of the endangered animals are to be reintroduced into Kent in the spring of 2022. Conservationists hope the bison will also help decimate spare pine trees to create sunny new open space in the forest and improve insect, bird and plant diversity in the area.

To start with, one male and three females will be introduced, with each female expected to produce one baby per year through natural breeding. The bison to be released in the UK will likely come from  the Netherlands or Poland,where similar reintroduction programs have been achieved.

These animals have a huge size, weighing up to a ton each. They are expected to kill off trees in former pine plantations by eating or rubbing against bark(树皮). The dead wood should provide food for insects, which will in turn provide food for birds including nightingales and turtle doves. Scientists who are part of this project believe that the reintroduction of bison will pose no threats to people living nearby since these bison have a peaceful nature and will not harm others.

Paul Hadaway, from Kent wildlife Trust, said, “Using missing keystone species like bison to restore natural processes to the home of animals and plants is the key to creating bio-abundance on our land.” Once the bison are settled in their 500-hectare land, the public will be able to pay a visit and observe the animals from viewing platforms. And as they grow year by year, some may be moved to similar locations across the UK.

【1】What does the underlined word “decimate” in paragraph 2 mean?

A．Destroy

B．Conserve

C．Discover.

D．Improve

【2】Why might the UK choose bison from the Netherlands or Poland?

A．They are home to bison.

B．They have similar environments.

C．They are a short distance away.

D．They have successful experience.

【3】What is Paul Hadaway’s attitude to this project?

A．Skeptical.

B．Favourable.

C．Critical.

D．Conservative

【4】What is the main idea of the text?

A．Wild bison disappeared in the UK.

B．The UK starts a conservation project.

C．Wild bison will return to the UK.

D．Wild bison are vital for bio-abundance.

22、A book called Bartlett’s Familiar Quotations has been published in the United States since the 1850s. It started with John Bartlett, the owner of a bookstore near Boston, Massachusetts. He selected words, or quotations, from famous people, including Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Paine and John Keats for the book.

Geoffrey O’Brien is the current editor of the 170-year-old book. He said it is hard to keep up with so many quotations because of “the speed of events” in modern times. “No matter when we went to press, we would be cutting off in the middle of the story,” he said.

The 19th edition of Bartlett’s just came out. It is the first publication since 2012 and the second under O’Brien. “With the Internet and cable news, you have the constant manufacturing of statements of one kind or another,” O’Brien said. So, he tried to choose quotations that have staying power beyond current news events.

In the early days, the book was mostly made up of quotations from white men. But recently, the book includes words from the singer Beyoncé and the track and field athlete Usain Bolt. It even has thoughts from other languages such as Russian and Navajo, a Native American language.

With so many new quotes, some older ones had to be removed. O’Brien said he was sad to drop comments by John Dryden, one of his favorite poets.

O’Brien also needs to keep the book to about 1,400 pages. So, once very well-known American comedians like Bob Hope and Johnny Carson are not in the latest book. Also gone are quotes from former U.S. Vice President Dan Quayle and actor Sally Field.

O’Brien said the goal of the book is to be “representative” but not like an encyclopedia (百科全书). Not everyone can get in. He said he was sad to not be able to include a comment from U.S. civil rights activist and politician John Lewis, who died in 2020.

【1】What is the main challenge the editor faces?

A．Whether to keep pace with times.

B．What to take into the book.

C．How to deal with new statements.

D．How to remove the quotes.

【2】How did O’Brien tackle the challenge?

A．He included more languages.

B．He reset the goal of the book.

C．He kept the pages of the book.

D．He used power-lasting quotes.

【3】What can we learn about the book?

A．It has evolved as time changes.

B．Famous stories are selected for it.

C．The 19th edition is the second publication.

D．Only quotes from white men were included.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．Content of a Famous Book

B．Development of a Quotation Book

C．Editors Try to Publish More Books

D．Quotation Book Struggles to Keep up

23、It was New Year’s night. An aged man was standing at a window. Few more hopeless people than himself now moved towards their certain goal-the tomb. He had already passed sixty of the age leading to it, and he had brought from his journey nothing but errors and regrets.

The days of his youth appeared like dreams before him, and he recalled the serious moment when his father placed him at the entrances of the two roads. One leading to a peaceful, sunny place covered with flowers and fruits; the other leading to a deep dark cave which was endless. He looked towards the sky and cried painfully, “Oh youth, return! Oh, my father, place me once more at the entrance to life”. But both his father and the days of his youth had passed away.

He saw the lights flowing away in the darkness，and these were the days of his wasted life; he saw a star fall from the sky and disappear, and this was the symbol of himself. Then he remembered his friends in his childhood, who entered life together with him. But they had made their way to success and were then honored and happy on that New Year’s night.

The clock in the high church tower struck and the sound made him remember his parents. They had taught him and prayed to God for his good. But he chose the wrong way with shame and grief. He dared no longer to look towards the heaven where his parents lived. He burst out a cry: “Come back, my early days!”And his youth did return, for all this was only a dream on New Year’s night. He was still young though his faults were real. He had not yet entered the deep dark eave, and he was still free to walk on the road which leads to the peaceful and sunny land.

【1】Which of the following words can best describe the aged man?

A．Confident.

B．Selfless.

C．Regretful.

D．Fortunate.

【2】What can we learn from Para3?

A．The man’s friends missed their youth.

B．The man’s friends suffered failure finally.

C．The man wasted his life at one time.

D．The man was lonely in his childhood.

【3】What can be inferred from the text?

A．The old man didn’t take his father’s advice.

B．The old man was enjoying his journey.

C．The old man’s father accompanied him during the journey.

D．The old man was like lights in the darkness.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．A Special New Year’s Night

B．An Old Man’s Hesitation

C．Youth Coming Back

D．Two Roads to Take

24、   The African Continent has various habitat types, but savanna (热带草原) ecosystems cover approximately half. And where there is savanna, there is fire. "It's an important part of the ecology of the system," says University of Liverpool ecologist James R Probert. Burning allows grasses to take the lead by keeping taller bushes from occupying the land, Loss of grasses could push out species such as wildebeest (牛 羚 ), which are famous for their splendid annual migration.

A decade ago researchers put decreasing fires within Tanzania's Serengeti National Park down to the recovery of wildebeest population following an epidemic of rinderpest, a viral disease. When millions of wildebeest feed on grass, they remove fuel from the land, making fire less frequent and less severe.

But Probert and his colleagues found that even after wildebeest populations had stabilized by the mid-1990s, fires continued to decrease in the same area. Their analysis of satellite data showed that the region experienced a 40 percent reduction in wildfires between 2001 and 2014- in line with dramatic increases in farm animals in the area.

If you have lots of farm animals eating the grass, then you have less fire. That’s well known Probert says. "But I don’t think anybody had realized the degree of the decline in fire and linked it to farm animals before.”

This is a really interesting pattern, "says University of Guelph biologist John Fryxell, who was not involved in the study. He cautions, however, that 15 years' worth of data is still a fairly small amount of information from which to draw final conclusions. "What a short-term connection like that suggests is that there's something interesting here that could provide the grounds for a deeper experimental analysis, "he adds. That research could include artificially controlling fire frequency or grazing intensity (放牧强度) in certain areas and then monitoring the land's response over time.

【1】What do we know about fires in savanna?

A.They only happen once in a decade.

B.They are harmful to the growth of grasses.

C.They help keep the balance of the ecosystem.

D.They guarantee the leading position of taller bushes.

【2】According to Probert, what led to decreasing fires?

A.The spread of a disease. B.The increase in farm animals.

C.The change of the climate. D.The stability of wildebeest population.

【3】What does John think of Probert's study?

A.It might help recover the land in savanna.

B.It could lead to further studies on savanna fire.

C.It has proven the link between fires and grasses.

D.It offers enough information for final conclusions.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A.Savanna Ecosystem. B.No More Farm Animals

C.Eating Away Fire. D.Controlling Wildfires
