21、It was 2005 and scientists in Cape Town made a shocking discovery. Their tracking data showed a great white shark moving from South Africa to Australia and back again in a near straight line. It was the fastest transoceanic return migration ever recorded and it was carried out with near pinpoint accuracy. Today, it’s well known that sharks make yearly returns such as this to specific locations, but how exactly they do it has escaped consensus.
A group of scientists from Florida State University has taken on the question and concluded that sharks have an internal, GPS-like navigation system that allows them to read the Earth’s geomagnetic field. To conduct the research, the team first got 20 juvenile bonnethead sharks in St George Sound off the Florida Panhandle, and placed them in a small pool surrounded by copper wire. The wire allowed the researchers to create a custom magnetic field in the centre of the pool. Exposed to the magnetic field from the capture location, the sharks swam in random directions at leisure; but when exposed to the geomagnetic field that would be found 600 kilometres south of that spot, they swam north in a “homeward orientation”.
Researchers have suspected that sharks and sawfish detect magnetic fields since the 1970s, but the exact mechanism by which they do so, and the prevalence of this skill in nature has proven elusive, partly because it’s so difficult to study. “We’ve known for some time that sharks have the ability to detect the magnetic field, but this is the first time it has been tested successfully,” says Bryan Keller, a scientist at the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. “We expect these abilities are also observed in other species, like the great white, which migrate 20,000 kilometres out and back to the same spot.” The results mean that some sharks can be added to the growing list of animals that navigate by magnetic sensation, which includes sea turtles, lobsters and birds.
With the shark navigation system now demonstrated, scientists want to understand the mechanism behind it. Two theories have emerged: some researchers believe that it depends on an iron mineral called magnetite; others believe it’s based on a magnetic-field-sensing molecule in the retina (视网膜) of the eye called cryptochrome. Both theories, or a combination of the two, are plausible. Magnetite has been isolated from many animal tissues, while evidence from studies in birds suggests that they sense the inclination of the magnetic field using cryptochrome molecules in their retinas; the direction of the field is transmitted by the optic nerve to the brain, which allows them to “visualize” north and south. But scientists don’t yet know the precise location of the cryptochrome receptors, or the brain centres that process the information on the magnetic field. There’s more work to do to truly understand these masterful navigators.

23、How to Learn American Sign Language
American Sign Language (ASL) is one of the most beautiful but misunderstood languages in the world. 【1】 Other sign languages are used across the world, including Malaysia, Germany, Austria, Norway, and Finland. This article will give you some tips on learning this wonderful form of communication.
【2】 Dictionaries are key tools for learning any language, and ASL is no exception. A good dictionary will allow you to look up signs you don’t understand, as well as give you something to study.
Buy a few study guides. A dictionary will show you how to sign every word or phrase. However, a study guide will help you sign（打手语）in a more practical fashion and provide more information than a dictionary. 【3】
【4】 You can find many people to practice signing in class, as well as feedback（反馈）on your performance. Many colleges will allow you to take a class without enrolling（注册）. Check with your local school to see what programs they might offer. Besides, community programs such as local libraries and language corners will often offer ASL classes for those who are interested.
Look for resources online. The Internet can provide a lot of information about signing. There are many sites that contain videos that can help you learn ASL. 【5】 Handspeak is another good video resource and online dictionary.
A.Take a class from a deaf teacher.
B.Buy a good sign language dictionary.
C.ASL is widely used all over the world.
D.It will help you learn basic conversations.
E.The ASLU is a great resource for new learners.
F.ASL is often used in the United States and Canada.
G.Look for apps that have a great number of 4 or 5 star reviews.
24、An immigrant is a person living in a country that is not their own, often in a culture with which they are not familiar. There are, of course, translation and interpretation services available to recently arrived minority groups in most host countries.
However, it is more important to provide motivations for language learning for immigrants to accelerate their integration (融合). The language barrier increases intercultural misunderstandings. Those seeking work are at a disadvantage due to subjective factors (因素) such as employers fearing migrants are unable to learn a trade because of language problems. In workplaces where the majority of employees are from the same linguistic background, which is other than the host language, there is the danger of apathy (淡漠) setting in and it is therefore necessary to encourage immigrants to take advantage of whatever language tuition（辅导）not only to help integration but to achieve self-improvement.
The general tendency is to acknowledge that the government should provide money for the teaching of the language. The British Advisory Board on Naturalisation and Integration stated that some of the pressure for English language classes could be reduced by employers taking responsibility for the language needs of migrant workers. As for their children, a high percentage speak languages at home other than that of their country of adoption which increases the burden on schools to provide an adequate standard of linguistic education.
The goal is for immigrants to become "anonymous". For example, many Turks in Germany have lost their "visibility" as poor workers to become "invisible" - thus not immediately recognized as foreigners - but as professionals (doctors, engineers, etc.)
Apart from the responsibility of governments and education authorities, the duty also lies with the individual migrant families. Of course they should not lose sight of their own cultural identity and "cross-cultural exchanges should be promoted to improve the understanding between immigrants and the host population. At the same time, parents must be ready to adapt to their new situation and not influence their children who, through the host country education system, will learn the language quicker and wish to integrate into the local society.
【1】What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. The disadvantages of immigration.
B. The advantages of receiving tuition.
C. The importance of understanding each other.
D. The harmful effects of language barriers.
【2】What might the British Advisory Board on Naturalisation and Integration agree with?
A. Employers should pay for their employees' English language classes.
B. Schools provide various language classes.
C. Government shoulders the responsibility of language training.
D. Immigrant children should speak their mother tongue at home.
【3】What does the underlined word "anonymous" in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Educated.
B. Responsible.
C. Unidentified.
D. Unacceptable.
【4】What should migrant parents do in the author's opinion?
A. Don't speak their native language.
B. Learn English from their children.
C. Don't practice the customs of their homeland.
D. Help their children integrate into the new environment
【5】What would be the best title for the text?
A. How immigration changes language
B. Immigration and language
C. Does immigration threaten our culture ?
D. English language requirements for immigrants

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头续写一段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。本部分请作答于答题卷2。
On Saturday, we gathered at the hall to witness the award ceremony for the senior scouts(童子军). Receiving an award on such a day was a great honor for any scout, and all desired to be the scout selected to give the summary of the year’s activities for the association.
I was not the one selected to give the summary and for that, I was grateful. I could hardly stand in front of a large crowd to make a speech, but Sean could. He was selected to do the honor because he was the President of the Boy Scouts. My job was much simpler. Being the Vice-President, I was very much behind the scenes, content to ensure that everything was in smooth running order.
It was an hour to go before the ceremony began, and I had put the finishing touches to the stage. Walking down the stage, I saw my teammates in a state of panic(恐慌).When they saw me, they ran to me to tell me that Sean met with a traffic accident and would not make it to the award ceremony. Someone else had to give the summary. All of them looked hopefully at me, and I could feel my knees beginning to collapse.
All their arguments against my unwillingness were reasonable. I had a copy of the speech as well as the benefit of having seen Sean rehearse(排练)it. I was the Vice-President and therefore should take his place. Finally, I was firmly told not to turn it down any longer and they said that they were convinced that I would do the right thing. I sank down onto the floor, totally shocked by the situation.
I knew I was not a confident speaker, and the thought of presenting a summary in front of so many distinguished guests horrified me. To think that the fame of the scouts would take a beating because of me! The burden of responsibility troubled me greatly.
But there was really no way out of the situation. In the end, I quickly rehearsed the speech and got ready to go on stage for the presentation. I looked calm, but inside I was a trembling. Although they kept encouraging me, I still felt very worried that my poor performance would cost us the opportunity to win an award. Soon after, I was called to do the presentation. Having butterflies in my stomach, I walked onto the stage.
注意：
1.续写词数应为80到100词;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
As I stood on the stage, my heart beat violently.
