21、 One day I got in a taxi, and we left for the airport. We were driving in the right lane when suddenly,a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver stopped his car at once. The tire made a very loud noise, and at the very last moment our car stopped just one inch from the back of the other car.
I was frightened. But then I couldn’t believe what happened next. The driver of the other car, the guy who almost caused a big accident, turned his head and started yelling at us. I couldn’t believe it! But my taxi driver just smiled at the guy. So I asked,“Why did you just do that? This guy almost sent us to hospital.”
This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call, “The Law of the Rubbish Truck.” He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of rubbish, full of anger. As their rubbish piles up, they look for a place to throw it away and sometimes they’ll throw it at you. Don’t take it personally. Just smile, wish them well, and move on. Don’t take their rubbish and spread it to other people at work, at home or on the streets.
Successful people never let rubbish trucks change their moods. Life is too short to wake up in the. morning with regrets, so love those who love you and pray for those who don’t.
【1】Which of the following is NOT true according to the first paragraph?
A.The writer went to the airport by taxi that day.
B.The taxi driver stopped his car in time.
C.The black car jumped out and crashed into the taxi.
D.A car accident nearly happened on the writer’s way to the airport.
【2】The underlined word ‘yelling’ in the second paragraph means ______ in Chinese.
A.道歉
B.傻笑
C.吼叫
D.告别
【3】From the passage, we can tell that the taxi driver is ______.
A.silly and dishonest
B.wise and friendly
C.helpful but nervous
D.modest but impatient
【4】What does the passage mainly tell us?
A.Fight with people like rubbish trucks.
B.Make friends with people like rubbish trucks.
C.Have a quarrel with people like rubbish trucks.
D.Don’t let rubbish trucks change our moods.
22、Many animals need to move across large distances. Often they do this as part of their natural migration(迁徙). Sometimes animals need to move to a new area when food gets low or conditions get worse. However, humans have taken over huge areas of the planet. Roads and highways cut up the remaining natural areas into many small sections, making it dangerous for animals to move.
Many people are working to help animals by creating “wildlife corridors(走廊)”, trying to reconnect smaller natural areas so that animals can move over larger areas. One important step in creating these corridors is building wildlife bridges and tunnels to give animals a way to safely cross dangerous roads. These changes don’t just help animals, but they also save human lives by avoiding accidents.
On China's Hainan Island, scientists created a bridge for gibbons, an animal that lives in southern Asia. But in 2014, natural accidents caused huge gaps in the forest, forcing them to make dangerous jumps. Scientists created a simple and cheap bridge, which solved the problem. In 2018, the experts in Utah, America built a wildlife bridge over the busy highway. A 4.8-kilometer fence was created to help guide animals to the bridge. Normally, animals take a long time to discover and begin using wildlife bridges, so experts didn’t expect the bridge to get much traffic for several years. However, to their surprise, many different kinds of animals have already used the bridge.
Now people in other countries are looking to try similar ideas. In Brazil, scientists want to create bridges to help animals cross the hundreds of miles of highway that cuts through the Amazon rainforest. In Uttarakhand, India, an eco-bridge made from all-natural materials has been built. Though it's high in the trees, it’s expected to help smaller animals on the ground by reminding drivers that they're in an important natural area with lots of wildlife. Already, the bridge has got a lot of attention, with many people taking selfies(自拍照)in front of it.
【1】Why are the wildlife corridors created?
A.To avoid the attack from animals.
B.To offer a way to protect animals.
C.To improve animals' living conditions.
D.To bring more convenience to humans.
【2】How does the bridge in Utah surprise the experts?
A.Animals need no guide to it.
B.Animals take more time to cross it.
C.It has made the traffic dangerous.
D.It is used by many animals sooner.
【3】What do we know about the eco-bridge in India?
A.It has become a hit for tourists.
B.It is made of man-made materials.
C.It acts as a reminder for the hunter.
D.It serves as a sign of a natural area.
【4】How is the text mainly developed?
A.By making a comparison.
B.By listing some examples.

D.By following the order of tine
23、Weather reports often mention high or low pressure systems headed toward a city or town. If you’re in the path of one of these systems, expect a change in weather conditions. High and low pressure systems operate using similar principles, but the effects they produce differ significantly.
View a weather map, and you may see distinct regions that represent different air masses. An air mass is a region of air that has about the same humidity(湿度)and temperature throughout. When an air mass remains over a location for a while, it decides the characteristics of the region. Air masses can be cold or warm and they may contain wet or dry air. All air masses have the ability to move away from their source region into other locations.
Meteorologists(气象学家)call the boundary between two air masses a front. A cold front’s motion through a warm front is a low-pressure system. If a cold air mass replaces a warm air mass, you have a cold front. Air in the cold air mass is often drier than air in front of it. As the air masses meet, the wind u- sually changes direction and rain or thunderstorms often occur.
A warm front is associated with a high-pressure system and occurs when a warm air mass replaces a colder air mass. A high-pressure system often brings clear, calm weather. Warm fronts travel slowly and are weaker than cold fronts.
Cold fronts move faster than warm fronts because a cold front contains denser air. Cold fronts also of- ten travel from west to east while warm fronts move from north to south. As a warm front approaches, temperatures may rise as warmer air flows in from a warm air mass. However, when the cold front hits, temperatures can drop precipitously within a short time.
【1】How is the temperature of a region under a certain air mass?
A.Unusual.
B.Stable.
C.Diverse.
D.Changeable.
【2】What happens when two air masses meet?
A.A clear sky appears.
B.A heavy snow is formed.
C.The air becomes drier.
D.The wind changes directions.
【3】What does the underlined word “precipitously” in the last paragraph mean?
A.Sharply.
B.Slowly.
C.Hardly.
D.Smoothly.
【4】What is the best title for the passage?
A.The Formation of Air Masses
B.The New Findings of Meteorologists
C.The Effects of Air Mass and Fronts on Weather
D.The Methods for Accurate Weather Forecasts
24、 A recent study of ancient and modern elephants has come up with the unexpected conclusion that the African elephant is divided into two distinct (不同的) species.
The discovery was made by researchers at York and Harvard Universities when they were examining the genetic relationship between the ancient woolly mammoth and mastodon to modern elephants—the Asian elephant, African forest elephant and African savanna elephant.
Once they obtained DNA sequences (序列) from two fossils (化石), mammoths and mastodons, the team compared them with DNA from modern elephants. They found to their amazement that modern forest and savanna elephants are as distinct from each other as Asian elephants and mammoths.
The scientists used detailed genetic analysis to prove that the African savanna elephants and the African forest elephants have been distinct species for several million years. The divergence of the two species took place around the time of the divergence of Asian elephants and woolly mammoths. This result amazed all the scientists.
There has been debate in the scientific community that the two might be separate species but this is the most convincing scientific evidence so far that they are indeed different species.
Previously, many naturalists believed that African savanna elephants and African forest elephants were two populations of the same species despite the elephants’ significant size differences. The savanna elephant has an average shoulder height of 3.5metres while the forest elephant has an average shoulder height of 2.5metres. The savanna elephant weighs between six and seven tons, roughly double the weight of the forest elephant. But the fact that they look so different does not necessarily mean they are different species. However, the proof lay in the analysis of the DNA.
Alfred Roca, assistant professor in the department of Animal Sciences at the University of Minois, said, “We now have to treat the forest and savanna elephants as two different units for conservation purpose. Since 1950, all African elephants have been conserved as one species. Now that we know the forest and savanna elephants are two very distinct animals, the forest elephant should become a bigger priority (优先)for conservation purpose .”
【1】One of the fossils studied by the researchers is that of ________.
A.the Asian elephant
B.the forest elephant
C.the savanna elephant
D.the mastodon elephant
【2】The underlined word “divergence” in paragraph 4 means “________”
A.evolution
B.exhibition
C.separation
D.examination
【3】What were Alfred Roca’s words mainly about?
A.The conversation of African elephants.
B.The purpose of studying African elephants
C.The way to divide African elephants into two units
D.The reason for the distinction of African elephants
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A.Naturalist’s Belief about Elephants.
B.Amazing Experiment about Elephants
C.An Unexpected Finding about Elephants
D.A Long scientific Debate about Elephants
