43-year-old John Chadwick started live-streaming (直播) life of
the birds with their chicks.But just weeks after uploading the videos to YouTube, he gained millions of views from around the world.
John said, “To think that tens of millions of people have been watching the birds from around the world is just incredible and quite overwhelming.”
The sound engineer bought the bird box by accident. He placed it
on a willow tree in his back garden in March, and within hours two blue tits (蓝冠山雀) moved in and they had five chicks. At first, he only wanted to show his family what the birds were up to.
John said, “Within a day the birds moved in, and I wanted to
know what was going on inside. I started to livestream and do video highlights every day-on the first day 100 people watched it. It showed things like the chicks being fed in the nests as the parents carried in caterpillars (毛毛虫). After three months, I had 2, 000 subscribers.”
John decided to put a final video together and keep it as short
as possible-showing the birds going into the nests, the eggs hatching, and the chicks fledging(长羽毛).
Now despite the huge global success of the videos, John is unlikely to make enough for a nest egg of his own. He still needs to struggle for his family. But some people say they find it quite relaxing and genuinely fasc inated by John’s videos.
He said, “My personal challenge to myself was to get out of my comfortable zone. And I enjoy exploring new areas. But I keep in mind that I need to care for my family.”
24. Why did John livestream birds’ life at first?
A．To kill time at home.
B．To know more about the birds.
C．To get him closer to his family.
D．To call on people to shelter blue tits.
25. What trouble is John faced with now?
A．His financial problem.
B．Little blue tits’ settlements.
C．Improvement of his final video.
D．Challenges from online viewers.
26. Which words can best describe John?
A．Intelligent and hardworking.
B．Helpful and wise.
C．Knowledgeable and generous.
D．Adventurous and responsible.
27. What would be the best title for the text?
A．A Bird Lover’s Video of Blue Tits Attracts Millions of Fans
B．A Video Raises People’s Awareness of Protecting Birds C．Technology Can Greatly Affect the Survival of Wildlife
D．A Bird Lover Makes Efforts to Protect Rare Blue Tits
Pieter Bruegel’s 1565 realistic painting The Harvesters hangs at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. “The work describes farmers cutting wheat nearly as tall as they are,” Ghent University biologist Ive De Smet says. “Nowadays, if you walk through a wheat fiel d, you basically see wheat is about knee-high, which is a consequence of selective breeding (培育) from the second half of the 20th century.” De Smet says he’s teaming up with art historian David Vergauwen of Amarant to look at things where they can spot differences in shape, in color, and in size. Wheat is just one example of how historical artwork can help track the transformation of food crops over time.
Friends since childhood, they took interest in plants in artwork and began with a visit to the Hermitage Museum in Russia — where
they noticed an odd-looking watermelon in an early-17th-century painting by Flemish artist Frans Snyders.
“So if you think of a watermelon, you cut it through, it should be dark red on the inside. But that one appeared to be pale and white.” De Smet assumed the painter had done a poor job. But Vergauwen said, “This is one of the best painters ever from that era. So if he paints it like that, that’s the way it must have been.” Other paintings showed that both red and white watermelons were
raised during the 17th century.
The team hopes to set up an online research database of
historical plant artwork. They create a social media hashtag (主题标签) for it. Anyone could send pictures of relevant artwork and
details of plants when they visit a museum or exhibit through the hashtag. But, they add, the sources need to be realistic. “If
you’re going to use, for example, Picasso to understand how a pear looked, you might be misled.”
28. What can we learn from De Smet’s words in paragraph 1?
A．Humans have mainly fed on wheat since 1565.
B．Wheat has gone through great changes in height.
C．The scene in The Harvesters may be unbelievable.
D．Selective breeding affects agricultural structure.
29. What is Vergauwen’s attitude to the watermelon paint ed by Frans Snyders?
A．Doubtful. B．Disapproving. C．Favorable. D．Curious. 30. Why is the social media hashtag created?
A．To encourage people to focus on art.
B．To collect more paintings for their database.
C．To advertise their research database.
D．To share some historical plant artwork.
31. What is the text mainly about?
A．Ancient paintings focused on food crops.
B．Two men create a database of plant artwork.
C．Plants today are different from their ancestors.
D．Old art reveals agricultural information.
If you’ re reaching for the last piece of pizza at a party, and meanwhile see another hand going for it, your next move probably depends on how you feel and whom the hand belongs to. Your little sister — you might just grab the pizza. Your boss — you probably
will give up.
Now researchers have made progress in understanding how mammals’ brain encodes social rank and uses this information to shape
behaviors — such as whether to fight for the last pizza slice. They discovered that an area of the brain called the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) was responsible for representing social rank in mammals; changes to a mouse’s mPFC affected its dominance behavior. But it
was unknown how the mPFC represented this information and which neurons(神经元) were involved in changing dominance behaviour.
In the new study, Professor Kay Tye let groups of four mice share a cage. Some mice became more dominant and others more subordinate.
As soon as the mice were paired up, he discovered, the activity of their mPFC neurons could predict — with 90 percent certainty — the rank of their opponent.
“We expected animals might only signal rank when they are in a competition,” says co-researcher Nancy. “But it turns out animals walk around with this representation of social ra nk all the time.”
When the researchers next asked whether the activity of the mPFC neurons was associated with behaviour, they found something surprising. The brain activity patterns were linked with slight changes in behaviour, such as how fast a mouse moved, and they also could predict — a full 30 seconds before the competition started —which mouse would win the food reward.
The winner was not always the more dominant, but the one engaged
in a winning mindset. Just as you might sometimes be in a more competitive mood and be more likely to snatch that pizza slice before your boss, a subordinate mouse might be in a more winning mindset
than a more dominant mouse and end up winning.
The areas of the mPFC associated with social rank and winning mindset are next to one another and highly connected. Signals on
social rank impact the state of the brain involved in winning mindset. In other words, a subordinate mouse’s confidence and winning mindset may partially decrease when faced with a dominant one.
“This is f urther evidence to suggest that we are in different brain states when we are with others compared to when we’re alone,” says Tye.
32. What is the purpose of the first paragraph?
A．To provide background information. B．To state the importance of social rank.
C．To give readers an example of social rank. D．To introduce the topic of the reading passage.
33. What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 5 refer to? A．The mPFC neurons. B．The researchers.
C．The brain activity patterns. D．The changes in behaviour. 34. What can we learn from the new study?
A．Brain activities can influence social rank.
B．Dominant opponents boost winning mindset.
C．Social rank and winning mindset affect behaviour.
D．Animals only exhibit their rank in competition.
35. What can we infer from the passage?
A．Winning mindset establishes dominance.
B．Social rank guides competitive behaviour.
C．A subordinate mouse can never been a winner.
D．Awareness of different people around you make your brain use different neurons.
四、七选五
Climate change has increased average temperatures by 1℃ over the past century, making heat waves more frequent and intense than those from any other point in recorded history. 36 A study published in the journal Nature Climate Change found global warming responsible for 37 percent of heat-related deaths between 1991 and 2018.
The following is what happens if you’re the next to be killed. First, your brain sends a series of messages to your sweat glands telling them to increase sweat production. Then your heart starts beating faster to pump blood to the skin while blood flow is directed away from important organs(器官) like your liver, kidneys and
gut. 37
If heat stroke occurs, your body might get hot and direct so much oxygen-rich blood to the skin that it suffocates(把…闷死) vital internal organs. If your body fails to cool you down, its internal temperature might start to climb from a normal level to about 104 degrees. 38 You may feel it start as a dull headache. Before long, you might lose consciousness. Your brain might begin to swell.
While you struggle to stay awake and avoid dizzying confusion,
the excessive internal heat is damaging your gut, consequently causing an inflammatory(发炎的) response. 39
That’s just part of wha t we know about how extreme heat kills you. 40 A lot of what we know comes from studies on animal models, like mice and rats, or from examinations of people dying of heat stroke.
A．As the heat rises quickly, so does the death number.
B．That’s because we can’t study it in humans in the laboratory. C．As temperatures tick ever higher, that figure may well rise.
D．At that temperature, your brain becomes affected.
E．Surviving the organ failure might require an emergency transplant. F．Sometimes that alone is enough to create problems for a weak or aging heart.
G．Left untreated, what follows is a flood of organ failure that leads to your death.

childhood memories in Wales remain crystal 47 ”She wants to 48 , but I know, 49 her age, such long-distance travel is out of the qu estion, “ said
Keith. ”Once she mentioned: I wish I could speak Welsh again but I suppose I never will. It was then that I thought I should make her wish 50 ”
So Keith, 70, 51 on social media on a group
called “New York Welsh” asking for any Welsh speakers that could speak Welsh with his mum. And he was 52 , as well as
a little shocked, to receive over 30 responses within half an hour. “Speaking with Melisa, her (Ray’s) Welsh was a little rusty. A few more Welsh conversations and I thi nk she’d
be 53 again, ” added Keith.
“When you have a parent in their nineties, you will find you two have something in common: you’re both old, so I am very sympathetic
to my mother’s feelings of loneliness and isolation. I’m feeling it myself. ” Keith hopes to 54 more Welsh phone conversations for his mum and Melisa has promised to send Ray some short stories in Welsh to 55 her of her life in Wales.

六、用单词的适当形式完成短文
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Water shortage is one of the 56 (great) crises facing us today, with two thirds of the global population living in areas 57 water is scarce(稀缺的) for a month or more every year. There are two contributing
factors 58 this problem: increasing global demand for water, and unsustainable means by which these demands are being met. Yet, despite global water usage already increasing threefold (三倍) over the last fifty years, it 59 (predict) that there will be a further 60%-100% increase in water usage by 2050.
This is not just 60 matter of turning the tap off when you brush your 61 (tooth), cutting your showers down to 3 minutes, or sharing the washing-load with your flatmates. In fact, daily activities of human make up less than 4% of our total water consumption, with the remaining 92% 62 (fall) into two ‘invisible’ categories: the industrial prod uction of household items, and the production of food. Astonishingly, 69% of our total daily water consumption comes from
the 63 (grow) and production of food alone.
64 (unfortunate), there is no single go-to reference book for the exact number of liters used in the production of any individual food item. This is a hard pill to swallow, for we
have other factors 65 (consider) when weighing up the benefits of every food choice: taste, cost and convenience.

Once a man was driving down the road when he noticed an elderly lady stood on one of the most deserted sections of the read. Even though the light was not bright in the evening, the man saw that she needed some help. So, he parked his car in front of hers and approached her.

The man had reason for being paid because this was not his job He was assisting her in her time of need. Instead, he told her that if she genuinely wanted to repay him, she should help someone in need the next time she saw one“ And at that time, think of it as payment for this deed of mine” the man added.
