21、With low temperatures and a lack of food, winter is a hard season for animals. Many animals enter hibernation to get through it.

Hibernation is when an animal goes into a state of continuous inactivity. Animals hide away from natural enemies. Their metabolism will slow to less than a quarter of its normal rate. This cools the creature’s body and slows its heartbeat to just a few times per minute, for up to months at a time.

But why don’t humans hibernate? Human hibernation doesn’t exist for many reasons. Our body is not designed for hibernation. Our ancestors were tropical animals with no history of hibernating. Humans have only settled in temperate areas and the areas near the North Pole in the last hundred thousand years or so. That’s not quite long enough to evolve all the adaptations we would need to be able to hibernate, according to the BBC Science Focus Magazine.

For example, waste management is a huge challenge for human hibernation. Animals that hibernate are able to basically stop their urination during hibernation, since animals can reabsorb the waste their bodies produce during hibernation. Unfortunately, humans can’t do this.

There are other challenges. Body temperatures below 2.8℃ tend to damage the human digesting organs and may cause pain. Cold temperatures can also destroy the immune system, leaving the body wide open to infections, according to Smithsonian Magazine.

In fact, humans don’t need to hibernate through winter. We have discovered fire, clothes, shelter, hunting and agriculture, all of which are much more effective ways of surviving the cold.

Could humans hibernate in the future? For long-distance space travel, it’s likely. A journey to Mars would take months with the technology we have mastered. If we hope to visit another star system, even if we could travel at the speed of light, the journey would take years. Being able to hibernate would make such distances considerably less boring for the astronauts and save key resources, according to University of Oxford in the U.K.

【1】What will happen in animal bodies during hibernation?

A．Their metabolism will speed up.

B．There will be a drop in body temperature.

C．The heart will beat faster.

D．Their urination will continue as usual.

【2】Which is NOT the reason why humans don’t hibernate according to the passage?

A．Humans evolved from tropical animals with no history of hibernating.

B．Our body can’t function properly with body temperatures lower than normal.

C．Our body can’t manage its waste as animals do during hibernation.

D．There is no need for humans to sleep in winter.

【3】What will most probably be talked about in the next paragraph of the passage?

A．Human’s research in making astronauts hibernate for long-distance space travel.

B．Human’s future exploration of Mars and other star system.

C．The technology humans have already mastered in long-distance space travel.

D．The distance that astronauts will need to travel in future space exploration.

【4】What is the best title of the passage?

A．Why do animals hibernate?

B．How do humans spend winters?

C．Why don’t humans hibernate?

D．Will humans hibernate in the future?

22、   Diagnosed with dyslexia (诵读困难症), Kevin rarely spoke a word in class, and if he did, it would be a “Yes”, “No”, or “Maybe” in response to questions. He always scored badly in tests and saw no hope for the future. That was until he met Sarah, an advisor at a youth center Kidpreneur.

In 2012, Kevin attended a course called Ready Set Go in that center. The course was for disadvantaged kids in Kingswood—a low-income area in Sydney’s western suburbs—and its goal was to teach the kids how to create businesses and offer value to the neighborhood.

At the end of the course, Sarah took the kids to the local area. She asked volunteers to share their business experiences—Kevin immediately put up his hand. His challenge was to trade his hot dog selling service for free bread at a bakery. Although scared, Kevin was able to share his entrepreneurial story (创业故事) with the shop owner and asked if he could exchange his service for some bread. Unexpectedly, the shop owner told Kevin how moved he was by his story and handed him some bread for free. By the end of the afternoon, his belief in himself and what was possible was at an all-time high.

The following week, Kevin sold 70 hot dogs in two hours and made over $200. Soon after, he delivered public speeches in 20 schools, and was selected as part of his school’s leadership team. Now he heads a business group working on how to increase the potential customer base.

All of this would not have been possible if Kevin had not found his passion and perseverance to improve himself, and those around him. The guidance and trust of his advisor also helped to kindle his enthusiasm to go after his goals and dreams in life.

【1】What were the kids expected to achieve in the Ready Set Go course?

A.To be beneficial to the local area. B.To create a hot dog business.

C.To teach in low-income areas. D.To improve their test scores.

【2】How did Kevin feel after visiting the local bakery?

A.Scared. B.Confident. C.Touched. D.Grateful.

【3】What does the underlined word “kindle” in the last paragraph probably mean?

A.Share. B.Inspire. C.Continue. D.Express.

26、Directions: Read the following three passages. Summarize the main idea and the main point（s）of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.

Is Sensitivity Always Beneficial?

Sensitivity is, for the most part, seen as an overall positive-human characteristic. But it's not necessarily always beneficial to an individual. While there are certainly times that being sensitive can be advantageous, there are other times in which being overly sensitive can absolutely influence a person.

Sensitive people are able to see from a variety of perspectives. They almost live vicariously(间接感受到地)through other people's emotions, especially when dealing with people they truly care about. This leads to deeper human connections, as their loved ones will see how much the sensitive person really cares by how they react in a given situation. The encouragement a sensitive person gives a loved one just by their response makes it clear that the person truly enjoys seeing others happy.

When things aren't going so well for your friends, you'll feel the weight of the world on your shoulders. Obviously, you just want everyone around you to be happy—but that won't always be the case. While it's obviously reasonable to be upset when your friend is feeling down and you're doing your best to help them out of the sadness, overly sensitive people are unable to separate themselves from the situation and realize the sadness of their loved ones is not their sadness.

Sensitive people pick up on the overall mood of a place or event immediately and instantly find themselves in that same mood, regardless of how they felt when they walked in. This allows them to fit into a variety of social situations, as they understand the appropriate way to act wherever they find themselves.

But sometimes, this is not a good thing. Sensitive people are incredibly in tune with minor fluctuations(波动)in an environment, so something as simple as a change in volume or brightness in area can have a negative effect on a sensitive person. When a sensitive person experiences pain, it's almost impossible for him/her to let it fall away.
