21、What have eight legs, hunt among a group of fish and can throw a mean sucker punch(猛击)? According to research published in Ecology last week, the answer would be octopuses. Octopuses punch fish. Deliberately.

The first time researcher Eduardo Sampaio witnessed this phenomenon, he laughed. Normally that'd be fine but at the time he was underwater wearing scuba(水肺潜水)equipment. "I almost choked on my regulator," he said in an interview with NPR's Morning Edition. "When I saw it for the first time, I just burst out laughing."

The octopus is typically a solitary creature, but sometimes an octopus might take part in a hunting party made up of fishes. A grouper's(石斑鱼)gestures, for example, can clue(提示)an octopus into the location of prey. Sampaio and his co-researchers were studying this mutually beneficial behavior when they came across an octopus punching fish while hunting.

Although researchers have observed octopuses punching fish before, the behavior happening in the context of a hunting party is new. And it can come suddenly, out of nowhere, Sampaio said. "You can see there some punches are almost like a small boop," Sampaio said. "And the other ones that even the whole arm curls up and uncurls afterwards, you know, like the motion of a boxer doing a punch. "

s a partner-control mechanism, Sampaio explained, to drive the fish away from the octopus

【1】How did Eduardo Sampaio feel when he first witnessed the phenomenon?

A．Shocked.

B．Amused.

C．Frightened.

D．Concerned

【2】How does Sampaio explain the process in paragraph 4?

A．By making a comparison.

B．By introducing a concept

C．By referring to another study

D．By quoting an expert's words.

【3】What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A．Octopuses tend to attack a specific fish species

B．Octopuses punch fishes with clear aims each time

C．Octopuses will dismiss the fish which's its next meal

D．Octopuses are not very often to be spotted punching fishes

【4】Where is the text probably from?

A．A research paper

B．A political report.

C．A science magazine.

D．An autobiography

22、   A cell phone is one of the few things that we hold close to our faces all the time, and yet it could possibly explode – this is what made the recent Samsung’s Galaxy Note 7 smart phone accidents so shocking.

According to technology news website, The Verge, flawed (有瑕疵的) phone batteries might be to blame.

Even if you are not a science student, you probably know that it is common sense that the negative end and the positive end of the battery should never touch. If they do, the battery will short-circuit (短路), causing a powerful electrical reaction that can destroy the battery and cause a fire.

This is why all lithium-ion (锂离子) batteries – the kind that can be found in many of our devices (电子设备) like tablets and cameras – have a separator layer inside to stop the two ends from touching one another.

But somehow, the separators in some of the Samsung phones broke, causing explosions.

Overcharging is another problem that can make batteries heat up quickly. Fortunately, most batteries are designed to be able to automatically stop charging once they are fully charged. But again, this somehow failed to happen in some of the Samsung phones.

According to Lynden Archer, a materials scientist at Cornell University, US, we have already achieved 90 percent of the battery life possible from a lithium-ion battery. Customers’ demands that their devices get thinner and their battery have a longer life have given producers little choice but to try to put more power into thinner batteries. However, the more energy you put into a box, the more dangerous it’s going to be.

【1】A separator layer is put in lithium-ion batteries in order to ______.

A.ensure a longer battery life

B.reduce a certain electrical reaction

C.connect the anode and the cathode

D.prevent a battery from short circuiting

【2】What are the possible reasons for the Samsung phone explosions?

A.Pushing the limits of batteries.

B.Short circuiting and overheating.

C.Overcharging and thinner batteries.

D.Automatic charging and broken separators.

【3】What is the writer’s main purpose of writing the article?

A.To describe problems facing cell phone producers.

B.To warn us about the dangers of lithium-ion batteries.

C.To teach us common sense when it comes to batteries.

D.To explain the reasons for the Samsung phone explosions.

23、   These days, nobody needs to cook. Families graze on high-cholesterol（胆固醇）take-aways and microwaved ready-meals. Cooking is an occasional hobby and a vehicle for celebrity chefs, which makes it odd that the kitchen has become the heart of the modern house. What the great hall was to the medieval castle, the kitchen is to the 21st - century home.

The money spent on kitchens has risen with their status. In America the kitchen market is now worth $ 170 billion, five times the country's film industry. In the year to August 2007, the Swedish furniture chain IKEA sold over one million kitchens worldwide. The average budget for a "major" kitchen overhaul in 2006, calculates Remodeling magazine, was a staggering $ 54,000, even a "minor" improvement cost on average $ 18,000.

Exclusivity, more familiar in the world of high fashion, has reached the kitchen: Robinson & Cornish, a British manufacturer of custom-made-kitchens, offers a Georgian-style one, which would cost 145,000 to 155,000 pounds -- excluding building, plumbing and electrical work. Its big selling point is that nobody else will have it: "You won't see this kitchen anywhere else in the word."

The elevation of the room that once belonged only to the servants for the modern family tells the story of a century of social change. Right into the early 20th century, kitchens were smoky, noisy places, generally located underground, or to the back of the house, as far from living space as possible. That was as it should be: kitchens were for servants, and the aspiring middle classes wanted nothing to do with them.

But as the working classes prospered and the servant shortage set in, housekeeping became a matter of interest to the educated classes. One of the pioneers of a radical new way of thinking about the kitchen was Catharine Esther Beecher, sister of Harriet Beecher Stowe. In American Human's Home, published in 1869, the Beecher sisters recommended a scientific approach to household management, designed to enhance the efficiency of a woman's work and promote order. Many contemporary ideas about kitchen design can be traced back to another American, Chris Frederick, who set about enhancing the efficiency of the housewife. Her 1919 work, House-Engineering: Scientific Management in the Home, was based on detailed observation of a wife's daily routine. She borrowed the principle of efficiency on the factory floor and applied mystic tasks on the kitchen floor.

Frederick's central idea, that "stove, sink and kitchen table must be placed in such a relation that useless steps are avoided entirely," inspired the first fully fitted kitchen, designed in the 1920s by Mangarete Schutter Libotsky. It was a modernist triumph, and many elements remain central features of today's kitchen.

【1】What does the author say about the kitchen of today?

A.It is where housewives display their cooking skills.

B.It is where the family entertains important guests.

C.It has become something odd a modern house.

D.It is regarded as the center of a modern home.

【2】Why does the Georgian-style kitchen sell at a very high price?

A.It is believed to have tremendous artistic value.

B.There will be no kitchen exactly the same anywhere.

C.It is manufactured by a famous British company.

D.No other manufacturer can produce anything like it.

【3】What was the Beecher sisters' idea of a kitchen?

A.A place where women could work more efficiently.

B.A place where high technology could be applied.

C.A place of interest to the educated people.

D.A place to experiment with new ideas.

【4】What do we learn about today's kitchen?

A.It represents the rapid technological advance in people's daily life.

B.Many of its central features are no different from those of the 1920s.

C.It has been transformed beyond recognition.

D.Many of its functions have changed greatly.

24、The Stress of a Move

Research has shown that a move is more stressful than divorce. Personally, as someone who has moved 17 times in 15 years, I agree with this 100 percent.

【1】 The fact of the matter is, there’s no one cause of stress when it comes to a big move. Instead, it’s a bunch of smaller things that add up to make a move one of the more stressful things that many of us will ever do.

Changes

Every move carries some big changes along with it. You’re changing your location, the layout of your home, maybe even your friends and your job. 【2】 It’s okay to feel a little anxious at the thought of a big change, even if you know it’s for the best.

Money

Of course, one of the biggest pain points for anyone making a major move is money. 【3】 Even if you’re a fan of minimalist living and you can fit all of your possessions into the back of your car, there are still costs associated with moving into a new house or apartment.

Time

【4】 Whether you’re moving out of state, to the other side of the world, or just down the block, it takes time to get yourself and your possessions settled into your new place. 【5】 When you’re moving, you can expect to be driving a truck, carrying heavy loads, or unpacking your things. Having to put your life on hold while you get your move sorted out can be stressful, especially in light of the major changes that you’re making.

A．A move takes so much time!

B．What makes a move so stressful?

C．This isn’t a restful time, though.

D．If you’re moving because of a break-up, the stress can become unbearable.

E．Studies have reported that a move is one of the most stressful life events.

F．Most of the time, moving your things is not something that you can do alone.

G．These changes are unavoidable, and even good changes can be a little scary.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使其构成一篇完整的短文续写的词数应为150左右。

John began noticing when he was in kindergarten that he looked different from other kids. They had two hands. He had one.

“It started when one boy teased him.” said his mother, Judy. Her boy returned to their home with questions: Why am I different? Why me? Why?

“He actually told us he was mad at his being born with such a defect,” his mother said. “that was a huge blow to the heart.” Judy admitted she didn't know what to do at that point. How could she provide answers to her son's questions when she had never found those answers herself?

A few weeks later, Judy came home from her job as a science teacher at a state school and turned on the TV to a news story about an eighth grader from Washington, Iowa. Trashaun Willis, then 14, had become an Internet celebrity after posting videos of his slam dunks（灌篮）, and, like John, he was missing most of his left arm. Judy called John in. He was silent, watching dunk after monstrous dunk.

At the time, it seemed that watching Trashaun would simply be an inspiring moment for John—he'd see a thriving role model with a seemingly similar physical defect. And had it stayed just that, John would have been happy. Suddenly, an idea occurred to Judy. Why not reach out to the newspaper to help set up a meeting with Trashaun to build John's confidence?

“It reassured me," said Judy. “I know in my heart that everything's going to be OK. Trashaun has grown up to be a wonderful kid. And I know John is too." Trashaun did get serious with John. Finally, the boys met at Washington Middle School on a Saturday afternoon a couple of months later, in April 2017, and they instantly bonded.
