21、Due to the effects of climate change, new species of birds are coming to the UK.A recent study by the RSPB and Durham University has found that European birds have been migrating further north by an average of 300 miles. While fewer birds, such as the tufted duck, are returning for the winter months, there has been an increase in other species as they seek a new holiday home or a quiet stop-off!

It's thought that in the UK, we will gain many more species than we'll lose through climate change -a 3°C change won't affect the migrations of most birds, so birds such as robins, blackbirds, blue tits and greenfinches will still be regular visitors to our gardens. Climate change has been affecting domestic birds though-the Dartford warbler, a species that was literally down to just a couple of pairs in the UK in the 1960s, has been spreading further north from it’s traditional home in south-east England. Other birds such as green woodpeckers and nuthatches have already been regular visitors to the country, but have now started to spread further north, with some even going as far as northern England.

Scops owls have also been regular visitors, mostly in the south of England. And over the next 50 years or so, these visitors will eventually start to settle in the UK as they continue to· breed(繁殖)and adapt themselves to the conditions.

Other birds are, for the moment, just passing through on their migration, using the UK as a pitstop. The exotic-looking hoopoe - a striking black-and-white-winged bird, the size of a mistle thrush----regularly passes England's south coast and, although it doesn't breed here, up to 100 of them can turn up during the spring.

As climate change continues, there's nothing to suggest that these birds won't continue to breed northwards during the next decade and spotting them will become a regular occurrence throughout the country.

【1】What can we infer from paragraph 2?

A．There are fewer birds in the UK due to the climate change.

B．Birds won't be affected by temperature change within 3°

C．It may get warmer than before in the north of the UK.

D．Birds in the UK don't need migrations any more.

【2】Which birds are expected to live in the UK in the future?

A．Scops owls.

B．Robins.

C．Dartford warbler.

D．Hoopoe.

【3】What dóes the underlined word “pitstop” in paragraph 4 probably mean?

A．Garage.

B．Gas station.

C．Resting place.

D．Nest.

【4】What is the main idea of the text?

A．Birds visit the UK regularly in winter.

B．Climate change is affecting the population and migrations of birds in the UK.

C．Birds start to inhabit the northern parts of the UK.

D．The population of birds in the world is on the increase due to the climate change.

22、       The UK has a well-­respected higher education system and some of the top universities and research institutions in the world. But to those who are new to it all, sometimes it can be confusing.

October is usually the busiest month in the college calendar. Universities have something called Freshers’ Week for their newcomers. It’s a great opportunity to make new friends, join lots of clubs and settle into university life．

However, having just left the comfort of home and all your friends behind, the prospect (前景) of meeting lots of strangers in big halls can be nerve-­wracking (令人头痛的). Where do you start? Who should you make friends with? Which clubs should you join?

Luckily, there will be thousands of others in the same boat as you worrying about starting their university social life on the right foot. So just take it all in slowly. Don’t rush into anything that you’ll regret for the next three years.

Here is some top advice from past students on how to survive Freshers’ Week：

●Learn rules. Make sure you know British social etiquette (礼节). Have a few wine glasses and snacks handy for your housemates and friends.

●Be kind. Sometimes cups of tea or even slices of toast can give you a head start in making friends.

●Be sociable. The more active you are, the more likely you’ll be to meet new people than those who never leave their room.

●Bring a doorstop. Keep your door open when you’re in and that sends positive messages to your neighbors that you’re friendly.

       So with a bit of clever planning and effort, Freshers’ Week can give you a great start to your university life and soon you’ll be passing on your experience to next year’s new recruits．

A．the newcomers usually miss the days living at home

B．most of the students in the UK spend three years in universities

C．many freshers are worried about how to fit university life

23、China will accelerate law-making on making up for ecological damage, as the mechanism (机制) continues to prove its role in helping restore damaged environments across the country, according to the Ministry of Ecology and Environment. From 2018 to 2021, authorities across the country handled about 11, 300 such cases, with compensation (补偿) amounting to almost 11.7 billion yuan.

The department showed statistics demonstrating the mechanism as effective in dealing with ecological and environmental damage.

It said that thanks to the compensation, over 36 million cubic meters of contaminated soil and 300 million cubic meters of polluted surface water have been treated. The mechanism has also helped restore over 61 million square meters of forest.

In a case exposed in late 2019, for instance, a paper company named Meili was found to have illegally dumped a large amount of thick, black waste from papermaking in the Tengger Desert. According to the ministry’s investigation, most of the pollutants were dumped from 2003 to 2007, polluted soil and groundwater, and damaging plants. In March 2021, after a third-party agency was brought in to assess the damage, a court in Zhongwei required the polluter to pay more than 198 million yuan in compensation in two stages.

In the first stage, Meili will pay about 44.2 million yuan to cover the cost to investigate andclean up the pollutants. The rest of the compensation will be used in the second stage to carry out compensatory restoration, groundwater monitoring and risk control in the area. In its statement, the department of law, regulation and standards also noted the remarkable progress the country has made in enhancing the institutions for the mechanism.

Bie Tao, director of the department, vowed further efforts to promote law-making for the mechanism. “Aside from striving to include ecological and environmental damage compensationinto the Environmental Protection Law and other relevant laws, we will also make efforts to promote research into a specific law for the mechanism,” he said.

【1】What does the underlined word “contaminated” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

A．Dirty.

B．Pure.

C．Tidy.

D．Rich.

【2】What does the case of the paper company Meili show?

A．How to make the law.

B．How the mechanism worked.

C．How to monitor groundwater.

D．How the environment was polluted.

【3】What will be the focus in the coming years according to Bie Tao?

A．Detailed news about global warming.

B．Clearly defined law for the mechanism.

C．Further research into the paper company.

D．Regular process of environmental protection.

【4】What might be the best title for the text?

A．Make polluters pay

B．Keep the earth healthy

C．Stop environmental damage

D．Work harmoniously with each other

24、It's the best kept secret of modern science: 16 years of the Human Genome Project suggest that genes play little or no role in explaining differences in intelligence. While genes have been found for physical features, such as height or eye colour, they are not the reason you are smarter (or not) than your sisters and brothers. 【1】.

Very likely, you will simply not believe this and are sure from your own experience that it's "a bit of both" nature and nurture. But those genes that have been found only explain 1%-5% of any psychological characters.【2】. It's something scientists call “missing heritability”. Robert Plomin, one of the world's leading geneticists, told the Guardian last year. "I have been looking for these genes for 15 years and I don't have any."

Of course, babies are born different and biological transmission of traits (特征传送) does occur - it's just not genetic. For instance, there is abundant evidence that autism (自闭症) may be due to what happens during pregnancy, prematurity or difficulties during the birth itself.【3】. But it has been proven many times over that the right kind of nurture can correct it.

【4】. It means that most babies have the potential to succeed in conventional terms in exams and careers. There is no inherent (先天的) reason why children from low-income families cannot succeed as much as those from affluent homes.

A．Neither are they why you are less smarter than your brothers and sisters

B．Nor are they why you are like your high-achieving or dull parents

C．Your genes decide your achievement

D．This is not just my opinion

E．About a third of babies are born "difficult" for these reasons

F．That it's not genes is extremely good news
