21、   Time to load up some popular games: new research indicates pigs possess the mental capability to play video games. The study, published in Frontiers In Psychology, tested the ability of four pigs（Hamlet, Omelette, Ebony and Ivory)to play a simple joystick(操纵杆）game with their noses, moving a cursor(光标）to four targets on the screen. Although the animals didn’t demonstrate the skills to win a round any time soon, they did show an understanding of some elementary games.

Performing well above chance, the pigs appeared to recognize the movement of the cursor was controlled by the joystick. The fact that they did so well despite a lack of flexible fingers is “extraordinary”, according to the researchers.

“It is no small achievement for an animal, to grasp the concept that the behaviour they are performing is having an effect elsewhere. That pigs can do this to any degree should give us pause as to what else they are capable of learning and how such learning may impact them,” said Purdue University’s Dr Candace Croney, the study’s lead author.

Researchers also noted that while the pigs could be taught to play the game using food as positive motivation, they also responded well to social interaction. In fact, when the game was made more challenging and the pigs became unwilling to participate in, “only oral encouragement by the experimenter” would see training continue.

These findings are the latest to highlight the intelligence of pigs. Not only have they been shown to use mirrors to find hidden food, but studies have also demonstrated how pigs can be taught to “come” and “sit” after oral commands.

“As with any sentient(有感觉力的）beings, how we interact with pigs and what we do to them impacts and matters to them,” Croney said. “We therefore have a moral duty to understand how pigs acquire information, and what they are capable of leaning and remembering, because it ultimately offers the potential for how they understand their interactions with us and their environments.”

【1】What can we learn from Paragraphs 1 and 2?

A．Pigs have the potential to play games well.

B．Pigs have noses as flexible as human hands.

C．Pigs possess the mental ability we didn’t know.

D．Pigs know well about what they are playing.

【2】What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A．Playing joystick games so well.

B．Realizing the effects of their acts.

C．Carrying out tasks with their noses.

D．Following human oral commands.

【3】Which of the following can improve the performance of trained pigs?

A．Less challenging video games.

B．A nice treat before the experiment.

C．Severe punishment if necessary.

D．Inspiring words from experimenters.

【4】What does the author think of the research findings?

A．They reflect the needs to interact more with animals.

B．They offer humans ideas of how to live with animals.

C．They encourage us to explore how pigs interact with us.

D．They show us how pigs interact with their environments.

22、   In dreaming up the programme Tennis and Literacy for Youth, as a mother, I had hoped to share two of my passions, tennis and reading, with children. Throughout the year, I had advertised for participants at local elementary schools and recruited (招收) volunteers at local high schools. With the help of kind people, I applied for money. I was even able to secure a site for the program.

But on the first day of camp, in spite of my careful planning, things did not go the way I had hoped. Hector and Adrian exchanged blows with their racquet (球拍). Hector struggled to his feet moments later, covering a bloody nose with one hand. Georgie and Eduardo threw balls at each other. Then during reading time, I raced from joyless child to demanding child, unable to convince even one to open a book. They would rather be watching Nickelodeon at home, Eli told me, than “learning stupid tennis and reading boring books.”

I dragged myself home that afternoon. That evening, I called my volunteers together for a meeting, and redesigned the entire curriculum. We created a good-fellow system, where each volunteer paired with a camper to help him or her during reading time. To emphasize praise and progress, we established weekly prize ceremonies, presenting awards for most improved reading, tennis and behavior.

Then Mylea shut the book and asked me, “Can I take this to read it to my mom tonight?” Peering up at her eager face, I couldn’t help myself. I jumped to my feet and wrapped her in a hug, lifting her right off the ground. “It’s all yours!” I said.

Somehow, in the midst of the chaos and the schedule changes and the meetings, these children, in bad mood during reading time, untouched books in their laps, began to find joy in reading a story.

【1】What happened the first day of the programme?

A．Participants watched TV at home.

B．The programme worked out badly.

C．Volunteers failed to do their duties.

D．The plan lived up to the expectation.

【2】What did the author do to make the programme a success?

A．She recruited new volunteers.

B．She replaced the books used.

C．She made adjustments to the plan.

D．She established volunteers’ leading part.

【3】Why did the author lift Mylea off the ground quickly?

A．She sensed something was wrong.

B．She thought Mylea needed comfort.

C．Mylea’s boredom in reading discouraged her.

D．Mylea’s great passion for reading amazed her.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A．An initiative of being volunteers.

B．An innovation to the teaching method.

C．An insight into helping kids overcome difficulties.

D．An experience of introducing reading and tennis to kids.

23、Each spring brings a new blossom of wildflowers in the ditches(沟渠)along the highway I travel daily to work.

There is one particular blue flower that has always caught my eye. I've noticed that it blooms only in the morning hours; the afternoon sun is too warm for it. Every day for approximately two weeks, I see those beautiful flowers.

This spring, I started a wildflower garden in our yard. I can look out of the kitchen window while doing the dishes and see the flowers. I've often thought that those lovely blue flowers from the ditch would look great in that bed alongside other wildflowers. Every day I drove past the flowers thinking, "I'II stop on my way home and dig them." "Gee, I don't want to get my good clothes dirty.,." Whatever the reason, I never stopped to dig them. My husband even gave me a folding tool one year for my trunk to be used for that expressed purpose.

One day on my way home from work, I was upset to see that the highway department had removed the ditches

and the pretty blue flowers were gone. I thought to myself, "Way to go, you waited too long. You should have done

it when you first saw them blooming this spring."

A week ago we were shocked and sad to learn that my oldest sister-in-law has a serious brain disease. She is20 years older than my husband and unfortunately, because of age and distance, we haven't been as close as we all would have liked. I couldn't help but see the connection between the pretty blue flowers and the relationship between my husband's sister and us. I do believe that God has given us some time left to plant some wonderful

memories that will bloom every year for us.

And yes, if I see the blue flowers again, you can bet I'll stop and transplant them to my wildflower garden.

【1】Why does the writer want to start a wildflower garden in her yard?

A．Because the flowers bloom only in the morning hours.

B．Because she can see the flowers every day for two weeks.

C．Because the flowers can remind her of her oldest sister-in-law.

D．Because she enjoys the way of life in company with the flowers.

【2】Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?

A．The blue flowers in the ditches always draw my attention.

B．We don't get on well with the sister-in-law in practice.

C．I never stopped to dig the flowers for some reason.

D．The sister-in-law lives far from us.

【3】According to the passage, the writer will .

A．stop to find the flowers whenever she drives along the highway

B．plant a variety of flowers in the garden in her yard in future

C．get as wonderful memories with the sister-in-law as before

D．get more close to the sister-in-law in the following days

【4】What is the theme of the story?

A．Actions speak louder than words.

B．No sweets without sweat.

C．Time and tide wait for no man.

D．Opportunity belongs to whoever is prepared.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

My job is just one of the essential jobs, a sanitation（卫生系统）engineer, not a glamorous one, but is considered the alternative. Of course, I never regard it as an ashamed task to be in my position. About the second week of the lockdown because of the Covid-19, I was having trouble finding a sanitizing spray（消毒喷雾）for my truck. The next morning on my way to work at 4 a. m., I stopped at one of the few stores which were open that early, hoping to purchase some. However, it was only open for the police and medical personnel. “Look at my vest please,” I begged to the clerk, “I’m not just buying it for myself.” “I’m more than sorry, sir. But this is just the regulation, and I really can’t help.” replied the smiling girl. As I turned to head back to my car with disappointment, I nearly broke down.

Coming out of the store, my stomach began to call for energy support. I stopped at a 7/11 and ordered an everything bagel（硬面包）with cream cheese to satisfy my poor stomach and my empty heart. It was toasty warm, and I couldn’t wait to dig in. But as I left the store with a little joy coming sweetly from the bagel, I noticed a scene that an old man was sitting at the bus stop, in rags. Knowing that it would probably be his only warm meal of the day, I gave him the bagel without any hesitation. Just when I was ready to turn around for another same bagel, something warming my heart came into being. Another customer, a gentle lady, from the 7/11 offered me half of her bagel. “We everyone should be taken care of at some certain moment.” she said with a tender sweet voice as I smiled to thank her sincerely. I was delighted because I realized that in one way or another, we were all looked after.

注意：续写词数应为150左右。

So I decided to go back to the former store to try my luck again for the spray.

Just before I gave up, a local policeman was heading into the store.
