21、 If you’ve spent any amount of time boating, fishing, or bird-watching at lakes and rivers, you have most likely seen fishes jumping out of the water. I have seen it many times. Certainly, fishes will exit water in desperate attempts to escape enemies. Dolphins take advantage of the behavior, forming a circle and catching the frightened fishes in midair. But just as we may run fast from fun or from fear, different emotions might motivate fishes to jump.
Mobula rays (蝠鲼) aren’t motivated by fear when they throw their impressive bodies — up to a seventeen-foot wingspan (the distance from the end of one wing to the end of the other) and a ton in weight — skyward in leap of up to ten feet. They do it in schools of hundreds. They usually land on their bellies, but sometimes they land on their backs. Some scientists think it might be a way of removing parasites (寄生虫). But I think that the rays are enjoying themselves.
In the clear waters of Florida’s Chassahowitzka National Wildlife Refuge, I watched several schools of fifty or more mullets(鲻鱼) moving in beautiful formation. Their well-built bodies were most evident when they leaped from the water. Most of the time I saw one or two leaps by a fish, but one made a series of seven. They usually land on their sides. Each jump was about a foot clear of the water and two to three feet in length.
Nobody knows for sure why the fish leaps. One idea is that they do it to take in oxygen. The idea is supported by the fact that mullets leap more when the water is lower in oxygen, but is challenged by the likelihood that jumping costs more energy than is gained by breathing air. It is hard to imagine they will feel any fresher when back in water.
Might these fishes also be leaping for fun? There is some new evidence. Gordon M. Burghardt recently published accounts of a dozen types of fishes leaping repeatedly, sometimes over floating objects — sticks, plants, sunning turtle — for no clear reason other than entertainment.
【1】What can we say about the dolphins in Paragraph 1?
A.They have great escaping skills. B.They are easily frightened.
C.They are very clever. D.They love jumping.
【2】What do the ray and the mullet have in common when jumping?
A.Both do it in groups. B.Both land on their bellies.
C.Both jump many feet out of water. D.Both make leaps one after the other.
【3】What’s the author’s attitude towards the idea mentioned in Paragraph 4?
A.Anxious. B.Indifferent.
C.Approving. D.Questionable.
【4】Why do fishes leap according to Gordon?
A.To remove parasites. B.To amuse themselves.
C.To take in more oxygen. D.To escape enemies.
22、 There are dozens of movie recommendation engines on the Web. They’re all different, but some are definitely better than others.
Rotten Tomatoes
Instead of telling Rotten Tomatoes which films you like, you can tell it what kind of films you enjoy, which actors you want to see, and other standards to help it find the best movie for you. There’s a lot of variability in the quality of Rotten Tomatoes recommendations but it’s also a nice way to find the right film for any mood.
Netflix
Netflix asks you to rate(划分等级) movies to determine which films you’ll want to see next. And although it does make it easy to rate movies and it does return huge lists, the ideas it gives you aren’t all that strong. It’s easy to use, but it’s not the best way to get movie recommendations.
Jinni
Whether you want to search for films based on your mood, time available, or reviews, the site has it all. But Jinni’s most amazing feature is its semantic (语义的) search. You can enter a term like “films that show Chris Farley yelling” and the site will return films that match your question. Go to use Jinni. You won’t regret it!
Criticker
Instead of just allowing you to rank films, Criticker compares your ratings to those of other users and see how closely your tastes match those of other users. Once the service finds matches, you can view these users’ lists and see which movies they like.
【1】Which one does the author recommend most?
A．Rotten Tomatoes.
B．Netflix.
C．Jinni.
D．Criticker.
【2】What makes Criticker special?
A．Comparing users’ ratings.
B．Ranking your favourite films.
C．Offering different standards.
D．Finding films based on mood.
【3】What is the purpose of the text?
A．To recommend the best online movies.
B．To show how to use movie search engines.
C．To introduce several movie search engines.
D．To explain how to find the best online movies
23、Sending an emoji (表情符号) to your doctor probably isn’t something most patients think about when they’re feeling sick. However, researchers say these symbols can actually help improve communication between patients and medical staff.
Senior author Shuhan He, MD, from Massachusetts General Hospital believes the use of emojis is a great opportunity to take communication to another level. “Emojis could be particularly important in treating children with still-developing language skills, people with disabilities that affect their ability to communicate, and the many patients who speak a different language,” Dr. He says.
Researchers say that although there are around 3, 500 emojis in all, there are only about 45 which have a connection to medicine. The first ones appeared in 2015, with a needle and a pill. In 2017, Apple added new emojis to represent people with disabilities. Two years later, a stethoscope (听诊器), bones, teeth and microbe (微小的) emojis popped into computers and smartphones everywhere. Dr. He helped to create anatomical (解剖学的) heart and lung emojis which were introduced in 2020. He is now working to create even more medical-related emojis.
The study authors add that, in a medical emergency, time is particularly critical. Using an emoji could help doctors know what’s wrong in a jiffy. The growth of telemedicine is providing a golden opportunity for emojis to find a purpose in the health care industry. Dr. He believes communication through emojis can help patients express things like the intensity of pain or even mood changes when words fail them.
“It’s clear that emojis have become part of the global, mainstream conversation, and that medical societies need to take them seriously,” Dr. He concludes. “They should now reach an agreement on the medical accuracy of these emojis, and then work to get them approved through the global Sandard-setting body.”
【1】Who may find it most convenient to use emojis to communicate with doctors?
A．Creative teenage children.
B．Unsociable normal people.
C．Those addicted to technology.
D．Those with language barriers.
【2】What do we know about medical-related emojis according to Paragraph 3?
A．The teeth emoji appeared in 2019.
B．The first ones were created by Dr. He.
C．They were specially designed for smartphones.
D．Anatomical-related ones haven't yet to been introduced.
【3】Which word best explains “in a jiffy” underlined in paragraph 4?
A．Quickly.
B．Randomly.
C．Indirectly.
D．Personally.
【4】What does Dr. He suggest medical societies doing now?
A．Promoting telemedicine globally.
B．Encouraging patients to use emojis.
C．Establishing uniform standards for the use of emojis.
D．Approving the use of emojis in the health care industry.
24、 Humans are the only creature that gets around by standing up and putting one foot in front of the other. Our ability to walk upright has allowed humankind to travel great distances and survive changing climates, environments and landscapes.
Countless scientific studies have found that walking is really good for us and this simple act can provide a number of health implications, which help people live longer. In fact, a walking routine, if done properly, might be the only exercise people need.
How much walking should one aim for? You’ve likely heard we need 10,000 steps a day. That’s about 5 miles. But contrary to popular belief, this recommendation doesn’t come from science. Instead, it is from a 1960s advertising campaign to promote a pedometer (计步器) in Japan. Perhaps because it’s a round number and easy to remember, it stuck.
Since the 1960s, researchers have studied the 10,000-steps-a-day standard and have turned up mixed results. Although 10,000 steps is certainly a healthy and worthwhile goal, it’s not fit for all.
For instance, a recent Harvard University study involving more than 16,000 senior women found that those who got at least 4,400 steps a day greatly reduced their risk of dying early when compared with less active women. The study also noted that these benefits continued up to 7,500 steps. This 7,500 mark isn’t surprising: It’s similar to common public health recommendations, such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s recommendation of 150 minutes of moderate (适度的) physical activity a week for adults.
【1】What does the underlined word “implications” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．Benefits
B．Problems.
C．Habits.
D．Manners.
【2】Where does the 10,000-steps-a-day standard come from?
A．A Harvard University study.
B．Science research on health.
C．A pedometer advertisement.
D．Public health recommendation.
【3】What can we know from the last paragraph?
A．7,500-steps-a-day standard is the best choice for all.
B．More than 16,000 old people were involved in the study.
C．Those who walk at least 4,400 steps a day won’t die early.
D．150-minute moderate exercise a week for adults is advised.
【4】What does the author mainly want to tell readers?
A．The more you walk a day, the healthier you will be.
B．We can benefit from continuous and proper walking.
C．Walking upright helps humankind to explore the world.
D．Advertisements can always tell us some scientific suggestions .
