22、A warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night’s sleep. But now a study has found it really does help people nod off—if it is milked from a cow at night.

Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin(褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.

The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.

Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.

Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.

While the effect of cows milk harvested at different times has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.

Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to relax.

Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.

【1】According to the text, the mice fed with daytime milk ________.

A. started sleep more easily    B. were less active

C. were more anxious      D. woke up later

【2】Which of the following is TRUE of melatonin according to the text?

A. It’s used in sleeping drugs.

B. It exists in milk in great amount.

C. It can make people more energetic.

D. It’s been tested on mice for ten years.

【3】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Milk Drinking and Health

B. Fat, Sugar and Health

C. An Experiment on Mice

D. Night Milk and Sleep

【4】How does the author support the theme of the text?

23、Perhaps it is time for farmers to put their feet up now that robots are used to inspect crops, dig up weeds, and even have become shepherds, too. Commercial growing fields are astronomically huge and take thousands of man-hours to operate. One prime example is one of Australia’s most isolated cattle stations, Suplejack Downs in the Northern Territory, extending across 4,000 square kilometers, taking over 13 hours to reach by car from the nearest major town—Alice Springs.

The extreme isolation of these massive farms leaves them often unattended, and monitored only once or twice a year, which means if the livestock falls ill or requires assistance, it can be a long time for farmers to discover.

However, robots are coming to the rescue.

Robots are currently under a two-year trial in Wales which will train ‘farmbots’ to herd, monitor the health of livestock, and make sure there is enough pasture for them to graze on. The robots are equipped with many sensors to identify conditions of the environment, cattle and food, using thermal and vision sensors that detect changes in body temperature.

“You’ve also got color, texture and shape sensors looking down at the ground to check pasture quality,” says Salah Sukkarieh of the University of Sydney, who will carry out trials on several farms in central New South Wales.

During the trials, the robot algorithms and mechanics will be fine-tuned to make it better suited to ailing livestock and ensure it safely navigates around potential hazards including trees, mud, swamps, and hills.

“We want to improve the quality of animal health and make it easier for farmers to maintain large landscapes where animals roam free,” says Sukkarieh.

The robots are not limited to herding and monitoring livestock. They have been created to count individual fruit, inspect crops, and even pull weeds.

Many robots are equipped with high-tech sensors and complex learning algorithms to avoid injuring humans as they work side by side. The robots also learn the most efficient and safest passages, and allow engineers and farmers to analyze and better optimize the attributes and tasks of the robot, as well as provide a live stream of real-time feedback on exactly what is happening on the farms.

Of course, some worry lies in replacing agricultural workers. However, it is farmers that are pushing for the advancements due to ever-increasing labor vacancies, making it difficult to maintain large-scale operations.

The robots have provided major benefits to farmers in various ways, from hunting and pulling weeds to monitoring the condition of every single fruit. Future farms will likely experience a greater deal of autonomy as robots take up more and more farm work efficiently.

【1】What may farmers be able to do with robots appearing on the farming scene?

A．Upgrade farm produce.

B．Enjoy more leisure hours.

C．Modify the genes of crops.

D．Cut down farming costs.

【2】What will ‘farmbots’ be expected to do?

A．Take up many of the farmers’ routines.

B．Provide medical treatments for livestock.

C．Lead the trend in farming the world over.

D．Improve the quality of pastures for grazing.

【3】What can robots do when equipped with high-tech sensors and complex learning algorithms?

A．Help farmers choose the most efficient and safest passages.

B．Help farmers simplify their farming tasks and management.

C．Allow farmers to learn instantly what is occurring on the farm.

D．Allow farmers to give them real-time instructions on what to do.

【4】Why are farmers pressing for robotic farming?

A．Farming costs are fast increasing.

B．Robotics technology is maturing.

C．Robotic fanning is the trend.

D．Labor shortage is worsening.

24、A China-led research team has completed a genetic study on penguin species to understand how they evolved from their flying ancestors 60 million years ago into the excellent swimmers today.

The study analyzed the genes of all living penguins and those that had died out, alongside their fossil data. The research provides new findings about the genetic basis for penguin evolution and its adaptation to the environments in oceans.

The study confirmed that ancient penguins originated in Zealandia, which used to be a continent in the South Pacific Ocean, about 65 million years ago. The ancestor of penguins appeared about 14 million years ago, after which global climate changes drove the penguin evolution and contributed to the formation of new species, said lead researcher Zhang Guojie from Kunming Institute of Zoology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

It also identified a series of genes that allow the bird to live both on land and in water. Over 60 million years, penguins have gradually become smaller in size, and they have evolved to be more suitable for the new environments, according to Zhang.

Researchers in the study also discovered that penguins at high latitudes (纬度), such as emperor penguins, had evolved much faster than those at low latitudes. It suggests that the extreme Antarctic environment put greater environmental stress on penguins and sped up the adaptation of the high-latitude species to extreme environments.

These findings help to understand which genes contributed to the penguin adaptations to oceans and extreme cold environments on Earth, Zhang said.

“They also demonstrated that penguins have adapted to an ever-changing world during the past 60 million years, so there is no need to worry about how the species respond to future climate changes.”

【1】What do we know about the ancestors of penguins?

A．They evolved because of climate changes.

B．They disappeared about 14 million years ago.

C．They were smaller in size than penguins today.

D．They were excellent swimmers 65 million years ago.

【2】What is the main reason for penguins at high latitudes to evolve faster?

A．The small size of penguins.

B．The extreme cold environments.

C．The stress from other species.

D．The ever-changing environment.

【3】What is the researchers’ attitude towards the penguins in the future?

A．Negative.

B．Doubtful.

C．Uncaring.

D．Optimistic.

【4】What did the research focus on?

A．How climate changes made penguins learn to fly.

B．How penguins evolved to adapt to new environment.

C．How human activities influenced penguins’ evolution.

D．How penguins began to live in water 14 million years ago.

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

Sista raced ahead, the sea breeze streaming against her face. Rafi finally caught up and then they rested in the shade.

I’m hungry. I know where there’s a great apple tree.” Sista said, “It belongs to an oldlady called Susan who lives in the little house by the hill. I heard she’s stubborn,but that sometimes she gives fruit in return for an errand(跑腿).”

“Let’s go,” Rafi said. They crossed a stream by hopping from rock to rock. Finally,upon ahilltop,they saw a splendid apple tree with bright red fruits.

A small farmhouse stood at the bottom of the hill. Rafi’s heart pounded as Sista knocked onthe door. An elderly woman answered.

“Yes?” the lady asked, staring at the girls.

“We heard ...“ said Sista, her voice shaky, “that we could run an errand for you in exchangefor apples.”

Susan raised one eyebrow. “Ah, yes. ” She clicked her tongue. “Nothing is free, eh?”

She led the girls into the kitchen. When passing the living room, Sista found that the wallwas decorated with colourful crayon drawings, which seem to be children’s. She wondered whodrew these since Susan was alone,with no grandchildren,even no families or relatives. The ladygrabbed two baskets, one large and one small, and pushed them into the girls hands. “Go fill these with apples. Come right back.”

The girls raced up the hill to the tree, climbed the branches, and picked the ripest apples.After filling the baskets, they returned to the house.

Susan filled a bag with rice and dried beans, and then she handed it to Sista.“Take this bagand the large basket of apples to the Gomez family. Do you know them?”

The girls nodded. Sista had heard that Mr. Gomez has been sick in bed for a long time andMrs.Gomez has to raise three little kids.

“Good.And ask them for the payment," Susan added with a tight smile.
