22、The rain forest contains more than 4000 types of birds and more than 1,000,000 types of insects. In one square mile, there may be more than 100 different types of plants. Some call it the world’s last wilderness area. People are becoming concerned. They want to protect this last wilderness area, the rain forest, and its plant and animal life. For example, in Costa Rica, students have raised money to buy land in the rain forest to protect it. Some businesses prefer to buy products from the rain forest to encourage leaving the forest as it is. Others such as a major ice cream maker have been giving a percentage of their profits for rain forest protection.
In the rain forest of the Amazon, 50 to 150 plant species are being destroyed every day. Some people want to use the land so they cut down some of the rain forest. They want the trees for wood to build houses. They want the land to grow grass for cattle. They want to build roads to areas for mining gold and other minerals. As a result, the forest and its plants are disappearing.
Some scientists and government officials are pointing out the importance of the plants and knowledge of the tribes (部落). They say that it is time to lay stress on the rain forest. It will show the peoples of the rain forests that the world values them, their knowledge of the plants, and the plants themselves. Some years ago, there were hardly any education programs for protecting the rain forest. But today it’s hard to find a public school, university, or law school that does not have such a kind of program. Until we do that, nothing else will change!
The people who live in the rain forest countries are beginning to see that it is profitable and important to save these areas. The Jivaro, a tribe in the rain forest of northern Peru, recently told us, “You are like babies in the rain forest, but we will teach you.”
【1】The author lists the example in paragraph 1 to ______.

【3】What is especially important for protecting the rain forest according to paragraph 3?
A.Law.
B.Policy.
C.Education.
D.Science.
【4】What does Jivaro intend to tell us by the underlined sentence?
A.We should be smart enough to learn from them.
B.Babies in the rain forest need higher education.
C.Learning from old people is important for young people.

23、 As people try to keep social engagement during self-isolation, citizen science offers a unique opportunity.
Defined as "public participation and collaboration in scientific research", citizen science allows people to use technology to unite towards a common goal —from the comfort of their homes. And it is now offering a chance to contribute to research on the coronavirus pandemic.
With so many of us staying home, this could help build a sense of community where we may otherwise feel helpless, or struggle with isolation.
Anyone is welcome to contribute. You don't need expertise, just time and interest. Projects exist in many forms, catering to people of diverse ages, backgrounds and circumstances. Many projects offer resources and guides to help you get started, and opportunities to collaborate via online discussion forums.
Scientists worldwide are racing to find effective treatments and vaccines to halt the coronavirus pandemic. As a citizen scientist, you can join the effort to help tackle COVID-19, and other infectious diseases.
Foldit is an online game that challenges players to fold proteins to better understand their structure and function. The Foldit team is now challenging citizen scientists to design antiviral proteins that can bind with the coronavirus.
The highest scoring designs will be manufactured and tested in real life. In this way, Foldit offers a creative outlet that could eventually contribute to a future vaccine for the virus.
Another similar project is Folding@home. This is a distributed computing project that, rather than using you to find proteins, uses your computer's processing power to run calculations in the background. Your computer becomes one of thousands running calculations, all working together.
【1】Where does a citizen scientist work?
A.In the office. B.At research center.
C.In the factory. D.At home.
【2】Who can be a citizen scientist?
A.Anyone who has time and interest. B.The expert who is interested.
C.People who are well educated. D.Doctors who are experienced.
【3】How can a citizen scientist join in the effort to help deal with the COVID-19 and infectious diseases?
A.He can play Foldit an online game and get the highest scores.
B.He can do experiments about COVID-19.
C.He can design a new game about COVID-19.
D.He can help build a sense of community.
【4】What is true about Folding@home?
A.It is the same project as Foldit.
B.It is a computer project using you to run calculations by computer.
C.It is a project using you to find proteins.
D.It is done by experts.
24、When was the last time you used a telephone box? I mean to make an actual phone call — not to shelter from the rain. Ages ago, right? The last time I used a phone box for its intended purpose was…2006. I was conducting auditions (试演) for my play in my tiny old shared house in London. Hoping to impress some talented actors to come and work for me for nothing, I spread some throws over the sofas and lit candles to make it seem a bit more ”young professional”.
As I rushed outdoors to empty the wastepaper baskets, the door swung shut behind me. Suddenly I was locked outside. My mobile phone was inside, but luckily there was a telephone box across the street. So, I called Directory Assistance, got put through to our landlady’s managing agent, and had a spare key sent to me with just enough time to get back in before the actors arrived.
As it has been many years since I last used one, I should hardly be surprised that then are no longer any public telephones near my house. The last one standing has just been turn into a “mini community library”: any passer-by can “borrow” a book from its shelves return it later, or replace it with another title from their own collection.
For a few months after the “library” opened, I didn’t bother taking a look, as I had assumed that it would be stuffed full of cheese love stories. Then I noticed fork conducting spring cleans dropping boxes of voluminous books on various subjects there. And these books were free. This unbeatable price-point encouraged me to experiment with dozens of titles that I would never normally consider buying. And I’ve discovered some great books!
If I ever get trapped outside my house again, my local telephone box will, sadly no longer be able to connect me with my keys. But it can certainly keep me entertained while I wait for my wife to rescue me.
