21、A study, with the goal of reducing the bad environmental effects of cattle, suggests that cattle can be trained to leave their waste in special areas.

In the study, scientists trained 11 young cattle to use the “MooLoo—a kind of bathroom for cattle. The researchers used a sweet treat to get the cows to push through a door and urinate (排尿) as instructed.

“The cows are at least as good as children, aged 2 to 4 years, at least as quick,” said Lindsay Matthews of New Zealand’s University. Urine contains nitrogen (氮). When mixed with solid waste, it becomes ammonia (氨). The chemical can play a part in environmental problems. It can also pol-lute water and create the pollutant nitrous oxide.

A single cow can produce about 30 liters of urine a day. In 2019, as reported, nitrous oxide made up 7% of all the US greenhouse gases.

Scientist Brian Hare was not part of the research but said he was not surprised by the findings. “I am surprised no one has demonstrated that before,” Hare said. He also added that if it could be done more often or in larger amounts, training animals would make it easier to deal with waste products and reduce greenhouse gases.

At the laboratory, the researchers put the cattle in the special area, waited until they urinated and then gave them a treat: a sweet liquid of molasses. If the cows urinated outside the MooLoo after the training, they got a shot of cold water.

Two issues raise questions about the study. Researchers gave drugs to the cattle to get them to urinate more because they had limited time. And researchers only trained cows to use the MooLoo to urinate, not to leave solid waste. Urine is a bigger problem, at least in Europe, but he predicted the researchers could train cows to leave solid waste too. The biggest environmental problem for cattle, though, is the gas methane. Cows release the gas that causes global warming. The cows cannot be trained to not release such a gas. Matthews said: “They would blow up.”

【1】What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 5 refer to?

A．The cows can be trained to urinate in the bathroom.

B．Young cows are as clever as 2- or 4-year-old children.

C．The result of the finding was proved vain due to limited time.

D．No researcher was surprised at the finding before.

【2】How are the cattle trained to urinate in special areas?

A．By giving drugs to the cattle.

B．By offering a sweet treat if they do as guided.

C．By shooting with cold water at them.

D．By measuring how much urine they leave every day.

【3】What do we know from the last paragraph?

A．Trained cattle and cows can largely reduce the global warming.

B．The next stage of the research is to train cows not to release the gas.

C．The method used in the research cannot completely reduce the pollution.

D．Cattle release the largest amount of gas compared to other species.

【4】What is the text about?

A．MooLoo—A special bathroom is designed for young cattle.

B．Cows are to be trained for scientific purposes on a larger scale.

C．Environmentalists can make full use of cows’ solid waste and urine.

D．Training cattle to urinate contributes to less greenhouse effect.

23、Warner Brothers has announced more Harry Potter movies are on the way. The studio is working with Potter author J. K. Rowling to create a new franchise (特需经营权) of movies based on “Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them”, which is a fictitious textbook in the Harry Potter world. The story will also follow the adventures of the book’s author, Newt Scamander. Rowling, for the first time, will pen the screenplay.

It comes as no surprise that Warner Brothers is trying to keep the Harry Potter franchise going. The films alone have earned $7.7 billion at the box office. The franchise has probably almost doubled those earnings on home video and TV sales. Then there’s the many Harry Potter products that fans still snatch up.

But at some point, Harry Potter could seem old hat and that’s not something Warner Brothers wants to see happen. So executives had three choices: restart the franchise, come up with continuations or spin off part of the Potter world into a new movie.

Without books to support the new stories, the upcoming movies could be a tougher sell for Warner Brothers. Harry and friends won’t appear at all in the new movies which will be set in New York 70 years before Harry Potter heads to Hogwarts.

The new stories will also net video games, products and enhance Rowling’s website.

Here’s Rowling on the upcoming franchise:

It all started when Warner Brothers came to me with the suggestion of turning “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” into a film. I thought it was a fun idea, but the idea of seeing Newt Scamander, the supposed author of “Fantastic Beasts”, realized by another writer was difficult. Having lived for so long in my fictional universe, I feel very protective of it and I already knew a lot about Newt. As Harry Potter fans will know, I liked him so much that I even married his grandson, Rolf, to one of my favourite characters from the Harry Potter series, Luna Lovegood.

As I considered Warners’ proposal, an idea took shape that I couldn’t get rid of. That is how I could express my own idea for a film to Warner Brothers.

Although it will be set in the worldwide community of wizards (巫师) where I was so happy for seventeen years, it is neither a previous work nor a continuation to the Harry Potter series, but an extension of the wizarding world. The laws and customs of the hidden magical society will be familiar to anyone who has read the Harry Potter books or seen the films, but Newt’s story will start in New York, seventy years before Harry gets underway.

【1】The phrase “snatch up” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “­­­­_____”.

A. rush to purchase  B. give up reluctantly

C. make profits from D. take away by force

【2】What made Rowling accept Warner Brothers’ proposal?

A. Her eagerness to try writing for the screenplay.

B. Her unwillingness to see others write the story.

C. The attraction of earning more at the box office.

D. The film company’s promise to enhance her website.

【3】 It is implied in the passage that creating and selling the new movies may be _____.

A. inspiring   B. embarrassing

C. disappointing  D. challenging

【4】What is the passage mainly about?

A. Warner Brothers’ expanded partnership with Harry Potter author.

B. Warner Brothers’ success and development in Harry Potter series.

C. Rowling’s view on the upcoming franchise of Harry Potter movies.

D. Rowling’s creative ideas for the cooperation with Warner Brothers.
