21、   Gray wolves will no longer be protected under the Endangered Species Act in most of the US, federal officials announced this week.

“After more than 45 years as a listed species, the gray wolf has reached all conservation goals for recovery,” Interior Secretary David Bernhardt said.

This move was criticized by wildlife advocacy groups and environmentalists who decided to challenge the decision.

“Abolishing protections for gray wolves is irresponsible,” said Defenders of Wildlife President and CEO, Jamie Rappaport Clark. “Gray wolves occupy only a small part of their former range and need continued federal protection to fully recover. We will be taking the US Fish and Wildlife Service to court to defend this species.”

The new rule will officially publish next week, and go into effect 60 days after that. Then, states will assume control of gray wolves and accept for Mexican wolves, a subspecies that will remain protected under the Endangered Species Act.

Over the years, there has been a back-and-forth between conservation groups and the Fish and Wildlife Service over whether the gray wolf should be delisted (除名) as an endangered species. The last attempt was under the Obama administration, but was met with fierce opposition and was later withdrawn.

There was also a lot of opposition to the recent delisting of the gray wolf, with more than 837,000 comments noted online. According to the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), the organization submitted more than 1. 8 million comments opposing the rule.

While the federal government is removing protections, at least one state is hoping to add them. There is currently a question on the vote in Colorado about a gray wolf recovery program, which would reintroduce the animal in the state. The proposal would reintroduce and manage gray wolves by the end of 2023.

"Wolves remain absent from about 70% of currently suitable habitat in the lower 48 states, and this rule could have terrible consequences for their future,” Amanda Wight, Program Manager of Wildlife Protection said.

【1】How does Bernhardt feel about the gray wolf recovery?

A．Urgent.

B．Worrying.

C．Successful.

D．Impossible.

【2】What will environmentalists do to defend gray wolves?

A．Set more protection rules.

B．Call on environmentalists to donate.

C．Ask the government to set up more reserves.

D．Accuse the US Fish and Wildlife Service.

【3】What can we know about the delisting of the gray wolf?

A．The related rule has been in effect.

B．It has been under debate for years.

C．Many people vote to support it.

D．Colorado will be the first to carry it out.

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

A．The Endangered Species Act is going into effect

B．The number of gray wolves is largely increasing

C．Gray wolves will lose Endangered Species Act protection

D．The Endangered Species Act will meet great change

22、No business would welcome being compared to gambling (赌博). Yet that is what is happening to makers of video games. For years parents have complained that their children are “addicted” to their video games and smartphones. Today, however, even more doctors are using the term. On January 1 this year, “gaming disorder”— in which games are played uncontrollably, despite causing harm — gained recognition from the World Health Organization (WHO).

Are games really addictive? Psychologists have different opinions. Those who don’t think so say that this is just another moral panic. Similar warnings have been given about television, rock’n’roll, jazz, comic books, novels and even crossword puzzles, but it turns out that they are not as harmful as expected.

However, supporters argue that games developers have the motivation and the means to design their products to make them extremely attractive. For one thing, the business-model has changed. In the old days games were bought once and for all. But these days, games are free and money is earned from purchases of in-game goods, which ties playtime directly to revenue (收益). For another, games-makers combine psychological theory and data, which helps them maximize the playtime. Smartphones and modern video game machines use their permanent Internet connections to send gameplay data back to developers. In this way products are constantly adjusted to encourage players’ spending. The biggest spenders are known as “whales”, a term that originated in casinos (赌场).

The gaming industry should realize that, in the real world, it has a problem, and that problem is growing. Now that gaming addiction comes with an official WHO recognition, diagnoses will become more common. Anyway, being put together with gambling in the public mind, whether it is fairly or not, will not do the industry any good.

【1】What do we know from Paragraph 1?

A．It is not suitable to compare video games to gambling.

B．Parents complain about their children’s addiction to gambling.

C．More doctors are against the use of the term “addicted”.

D．Gaming addiction was officially recognized as a disease.

【2】What does the underlined words “moral panic” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A．Wrong judgment on how harmful something is.

B．Trouble caused by someone’s immoral behavior.

C．Social progress caused by science and technology.

D．Panic due to the gap between the rich and the poor.

【3】What do games developers do to make games attractive?

A．They don’t charge players for in-game goods.

B．They adjust products based on received data.

C．They keep players’ video game machines updated.

D．They reward big spenders with a unique title.

【4】In the last paragraph, the author aims to ______.

A．offer a suggestion

B．make a prediction

C．give a warning

D．put forward a solution

23、   My college experience included this life-skill lesson: Drink alcohol on a full stomach. Or you will get inebriated too quickly. Of course, most college students shouldn’t be drinking at all, but we know from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism that close to 60 percent of college students aged 18 to 22 do consume alcohol, which makes harm-reducing approaches important.

Unfortunately, campus authorities and researchers are reporting a practice that turns the full-stomach drinking strategy on its head: rather than filling up before a night of partying, significant numbers of students refuse to eat all day before consuming alcohol.

This is a high-risk behavior called “drunkorexia,” which is one part eating disorder, one part alcoholism—a very dangerous combination for college-age students. The term drunkorexia, which can also include excessive exercise or purging before consuming alcohol, was coined about 10 years ago, and it started showing up in medical research around 2012. Drunkorexia addresses the need to be the life of the party while staying extremely thin, pointing to a flawed mind-set about body image and alcoholism among college students, mostly women.

Imagine this scenario: A female college freshman doesn’t eat anything all day, exercises on an empty stomach, then downs five shots of tequila in less than two hours. Because there’s no food in her system to help slow the absorption of alcohol, those shots affect her rapidly, leading to inebriation and possibly passing out, vomiting or suffering alcohol poisoning. That’s drunkorexia.

Tavis Glassman, professor of health education and public health at the University of Toledo in Ohio, researches drunkorexia and worries about scenarios such as the one described above: “With nothing in her system, alcohol hits quickly, and that brings up the same issues as with any high-risk drinking: getting home safely, sexual assault, unintentional injury, fights, hangovers that affect class attendance and grades, and possibly ending up in emergency because the alcohol hits so hard,” he says.

“Alcohol can negatively affect the liver or gastrointestinal system, it can interfere with sleep, lower the immune system and is linked to several types of cancers,” Hultin says.

【1】What does the underlined word “inebriated” in paragraph 1 mean?

A. excited B. overwhelmed C. addicted D. drunk

【2】We can infer from the passage that ____________.

A. a large number of college students spend most of their nights partying

B. some college students refuse to eat before drinking alcohol to keep slim

C. There is a direct link between body image and consuming alcohol

D. female college student is more likely to be hurt if she drinks alcohol

【3】Which of the following may Tavis Glassman agree with?

A. With more food in one’s system, he may suffer from the effects of alcohol slowly.

B. Drinking five shots of tequila in less than two hours is the performance of drunkorexia.

C. Those who don’t attend classes and have lower grades tend to be addicted to alcohol.

D. Alcohol has negative effects on the immune system and may lead to several cancers.

24、   Have you ever experienced such an annoying thing as it took so long to open a web page? You're watching stops every few minutes, which ruined your internet experience. But it could be a thing of the past. On June 3, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced that China would issue licenses for the com- serialization of 5G. It means major telecom carriers will start to provide 5G services.

The “G” in “5G” refers to the generations of mobile network technologies. 1G let us talk to each other,2G let us send messages, 3G gave us mobile data and the internet, and 4G made all of these things faster.

Now 5G promises much faster data download and upload speeds, and more stable connections. This means that you will be able to download an entire HD movie in seconds and only experience a short delay between sending and receiving data. For example, when you have a video chat with your friend, there is generally a 100 to 200 milliseconds(毫秒) delay with 4G,but 5G will reduce the delay to 1 millisecond or less, which is almost real time.

With a 5G network, the short delay in information exchange will allow driverless cars to run more safely, as they will be able to communicate in real time and avoid potential dangers. Meanwhile, 5G-enabled wearable devices will keep doctors constantly updated on the health status of their patients and warn them immediately if there's something wrong. Besides, VR games will become more popular with 5G. The short delay of 5G will make the games feel even more real.

Though 5G will make our lives more convenient, it will not be perfect. For one thing, 5G will not “travel” far. On 4G networks, you can be 10 kilometers away from the nearest transmission(传输)base and barely lose signal. But 5G will only cover about 300 meters, meaning we will need more transmitters so that we can get signals. And in order to use 5G, we will have to buy new products specially designed for 5G that are currently expensive.

【1】What is the function of the first paragraph?

A.To provide a background of the topic. B.To offer basic knowledge of the topic.

C.To use an example to support the topic. D.To draw readers' attention to the topic.

【2】According to the passage, what is likely to happen to our life with 5G?

A.Doctors can treat more patients.

B.No drivers are needed in the near future.

C.Many advanced technologies will be further improved.

D.Children will hate playing VR games in the real world.

【3】What can be found when 5G is compared with 4G?

A.4G covers smaller areas. B.4G needs more transmitters.

C.5G signals can travel farther. D.5G costs higher in early stage.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A.The development of 5G.

B.Challenges that 5G will face.

C.Benefits that people will get from 5G.

D.The difference that 5G will make to our lives.
