21、Beginning 2020, the fifth generation of wireless technology is expected to be widely used throughout the world. The new network, called 5G, promises to give faster speeds and a higher capacity for the use of more devices. However, while some companies are competing to be the first to deliver 5G to the consumer, the environmental influences of the new network are being overlooked.

There is some evidence that the new devices and technologies associated with 5G will be harmful to ecosystems. The main component of the 5G network that will affect the earth's ecosystems is the millimeter waves. The millimeter waves that are being used in developing the 5G network have never been used at such scale(规模)before. Studies have found that there are some harms caused by these new technologies.

The millimeter waves, specifically, had a detrimental effect on birds. In a study, researchers observed that after exposure to radiation from a cell tower for just 5~30 minutes, the eggs of sparrows were disfigured. The disfiguration of birds exposed for such a short amount of time to these frequencies(频率)is significant considering that the new 5G network will have a much higher density(浓度)of base stations(small cells) throughout areas needing connection. The potential dangers of having so many small cells all over areas where birds live could threaten their population's survival.

Additionally, it was found that cellular devices were linked to many disturbances in the ecosystems of bees. In this study, beehives exposed for just ten minutes to 900MHz waves fell victim to colony collapse disorder(蜂群崩坏症候群). Bees are an incredibly important part of the earth's ecosystem. Around one-third of the food produced today is dependent on bees for pollination(授粉), making bees are a vital part of the agricultural system.

The impact that the cell towers have on birds and bees is important to understand, because all ecosystems of the earth are interconnected. If one component of an ecosystem is disrupted the whole system will be affected.

【1】What will probably cause the environmental problems with the wide use of 5G network?

A．The lack of the density of base stations.

B．The less mature devices and technologies.

C．The lower capacity for the use of devices.

D．The large amount of use of millimeter waves.

【2】Which of the following best explains the underlined word "detrimental" in Paragraph 3?

A．Important.

B．Unknown.

C．Harmful.

D．Potential.

【3】Why are bees important in the earth's ecosystem?

A．They play a key role in food production.

B．They can guide some pollinators to work.

C．They are likely to reduce unpleasant noises.

D．They rid disturbances in the agricultural system.

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

A．Should 5G Be Used in the Future?

B．The Influence of 5G on Ecosystem

C．The Research on 5G Technologies

D．How Can Ecosystem Survive 5G?

22、At a time when almost anything can be purchased with just one click, it’s become an automatic response to simply replace what breaks. Generations raised in the earlier half of the 20th century will say that this wasn’t always so: household appliances（器具）, clothing, electronics and more used to be bought under the assumption that, with the occasional repairs, they would last a lifetime.

Now, some conscientious consumers are taking matters into their own hands and joining the Repair Café movement. Founded in Amsterdam in 2009 by sewing expert Martine Postma, the original nonprofit has expanded to more than 1,500 locations worldwide. These pop-up events, which are run by volunteers, offer lessons in how to fix anything from fixing a button to an unresponsive laptop.

“There’s juice and treats and you get to meet new people,” says Bennett, a retired civil servant and volunteer fixer at the Repair Cafe Toronto, where she mends jewellery. She brings her own specialized tools but says most items could be repaired by anyone with a pair of pliers and some determination. “Something that is broken took time and resources to make, so if you’re throwing it out, you’re wasting those resources. ”

If you can’t find a Repair Cafe near you, it’s easy to start one. RepairCafe. org offers a starter manual with step-by-step instructions.

Changing how we acquire things is necessary, but there’s also something to be said for simply not getting them in the first place. “Most of us have more than what we need,” says Marina. “This can lead to a lot of anxiety, like—think about everything packed in the back of your closet; do you own those things or do they own you?” She suggests we train ourselves to make mindful purchases.

Lazarovic, whose delayed purchase went even further, explains that less shopping has freed up more time for family activities, dinner with friends and making art. By doing so, as she puts it, “I got out of that need-to-buy-it craze and in the end I feel good that I’ve made something.”

【1】How would people raised in the 1940s deal with broken home appliances?

A. Sell them at a lower price.   B. Press the button to find the fault.

C. Repair them to last longer.   D. Donate them to recycling stations.

【2】What does Bennett say about her work?

A. She likes the good food people bring for her work.

B. Helping make repairs means saving resources.

C. She will set up her own Repair Cafe soon.

D. She learned to repair jewels after she retired.

【3】Which of the following best explains “conscientious” underlined in Paragraph 2?

A. Responsible.   B. Generous.

C. Powerful.   D. Irreplaceable.

【4】What good does Lazarovic think less shopping will do to us?

A. It’ll make us less anxious about used things at home.

B. It’ll force us to make donations of unwanted things.

C. It’ll lead us to explore the world more responsibly.

D. It will provide us more time for beneficial events.

23、You don’t need to be an expert to recognize luna moths (蚕蛾). They have hairy white bodies, red legs and huge green wings that stretch up to 4.5 inches across. And at the end of their wings are a pair of long tails that have attracted scientists for centuries.

Some of them theorized that it was possible that female moths judged the health and quality of a male by the size of his tails. But it turned out that female moths were not choosy at all. They just mate with the first males they could find. Others believed that the tails could increase luna moths’ size to make them harder for the bats-the main enemy of luna moths—to handle. But the theory proved wrong in 1903 when a scientist named Archibald Weeks put bats against a bigger species of moths that lacked tails. He found that the bats killed 66% of their targets. Luna moths, despite being smaller, were harder to catch. “Clearly, their tails provided an anti-bat advantage,” Weeks observed. “I think they were used to direct bats away from the moths’ body.”

He was roughly right. More than a century later, Jesse Barber from Boise State University put luna moths against bats in a dark room and filmed the hunting. Under normal circumstances, the bats only managed to catch 35% of the luna moths. But if Barber cut off their tails beforehand, the bats caught 81% of them. That was not because the moths became worse fliers—in fact, cutting the troublesome tails seemed to have improved their flying abilities.

Barber explained that bats were not visual hunters. They found their food with a special sound. To be protected from bats, luna moths needed something that made confusing sounds. That was what the luna moths’ tails did: As they flew, they waved behind them and produced sounds that were similar to their wing beats. To bats, they either sounded like a huge part of their target, or like an entirely different target. As a result, they aimed about half their attacks at the tails.

【1】What is Arehibald Weeks’ important contribution?

A．He found that bats are the main enemy of luna moths.

B．He theorized that luna moths use their tails to confuse bats.

C．He proved that Juna moths’ size is important for their survival.

D．He observed that female moths prefer male moths with longer tails.

【2】What can be learned about bats from Jesse Barber’s conclusion?

A．They are not visual hunters.

B．They usually hunt in the day.

C．They like bigger species of moths.

D．They can fly further than luna moths.

【3】What does the underlined word “they” in the last paragraph refer to?

A．Bats.

B．Wings.

C．Luna moths.

D．Tail beats.

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

A．Who Is Right About Luna Moths’ Tails, Barber or Weeks?

B．How Do Bats Use Their Special Sounds to Search for Food?

C．Why Do Luna Moths Have Such Troublesome Long Tails?

D．What Are the Disadvantages for Luna Moths to Have Long Tails?

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。

For two years, Mika and I were hunting for a cheap, cosy cottage by a stream. Then, late one night, something appeared online. A log cabin(木屋)on four acres, with a dirt road to the Susquehanna River and protected farmland on all sides. Perfect!

Except......

“You know where it is, riiiight?” the realtor(房地产经纪人)warned when I called the next morning. Only two houses were down there. Everything else, for hundreds of acres, was open farmland. No police, no local government, not even a grocery store. The only place within fifteen miles to buy food was a one-room shop in the back of an Amish farm. If we moved out there, he warned, we'd be completely our own.

Whatever. It had to be better than our apartment here, right?

We pulled into the dirt drive way to find horses eating grass along the fence, flowers blooming in the streams, and an Amish farmer rumbling(轰隆隆)past in a steel-wheeled truck. Unbelievable! We threw open the car doors, excitedly talking about the wonderful view. Pulling the realtor aside, we couldn't wait to make an offer. And a few weeks later, we left Philly for our dream home.

Solitude(独处)was going to be our biggest problem — or so I thought, until I heard Mika scream. I dropped the box I was unpacking and came running. I found her on the back door, holding two-year-old Maya in her arms, moving away from a six-foot black snake winding at her feet. She had been watering a row of plants and when she stepped from one to the next, the snake dropped from the roof and felt down right where Mika had been standing a second earlier.
