21、Do you still remember Jurassic Park, an amazing movie where science brings dinosaurs back from extinction? Now some very smart scientists are working on a way to revive, not dinosaurs, but other extinct species like the woolly mammoth （长毛象）using the gene editing technology known as CRISPR.
As an evolutionary biologist, obviously, it would be amazing to bring back extinct creatures. But even if we can bring them back, we are not going to be able to control how they evolve in the future. No man is an island and neither is any other creature. We need an ecosystem in order to survive. So we can think a lot about the examples of reintroducing species into the environment, like the gray wolves into Yellowstone. Ecology is very complicated and it certainly wasn't important when we first introduce rabbits into Australia, which was a total disaster eventually.
All animals like birds and mammals have to learn from their parents. If we bring them back to life, who are going to be around to teach them? We have examples where in California we've had the reproduction of the condors （秃鹰）.What scientists tried to do is to feed the babies using a mother condor puppet. When these poor creatures were released into the wild, they had an unnatural liking for humans. They didn't behave the way they should have, for condors.
According to Performing Animal Welfare Society, a healthy elephant costs about $70,000 per year to care for and an elderly elephant costs a good deal more. Of course, we are not talking about one. We're talking about many creatures. I don't think these creatures will have a future.
【1】Why does the author mention the film in the first paragraph?
A．To recall an amazing movie.
B．To promote some extinct species.
C．To introduce the topic to be discussed.
D．To get to know some intelligent scientists.
【2】What does the author want to tell us by the examples in paragraph 2?
A．Humans need a balanced ecosystem to survive.
B．To bring back extinct creatures was an unwise idea.
C．Helping endangered species proves to be beneficial for humans.
D．There were all sorts of positive effects about reintroducing species.
【3】Which animal didn't act in its own way?
A．Condor.
B．Gray wolf.
C．Rabbit.
D．Elephant.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Is Jurassic Park an Amazing Movie?
B．What do Creatures Need to Survive?
C．Should We Bring Extinct Animals Back to Life?
D．How does an Evolutionary Biologist Protect Animals?
22、Dear Mary,
I’m very happy to receive your letter. I have always dreamed about having a penfriend. Hopefully, we can learn from each other and grow to be good friends. I think our letters will let us know each other and share parts of our lives.
Your horse Shannon looks beautiful. I also want to live on a farm like you and learn to ride horses. It must be interesting to ride through the beautiful countryside. I have pictured myself in that situation so many times. Your sisters are also lovely. I am the only child in my family, and sometimes I feel very lonely.
Life in New York is so busy and it is difficult to find the time to get to know people. Even becoming close to my classmates is quite difficult. However, sometimes it can be the most fantastic city in the world. At night it is so bright.
I love reading too! But I have never read any books by your favorite author Enid Blyton. I will have to go to the library in my neighborhood and find some. I also enjoy dancing and have dance class every Thursday and Saturday. My other favorite hobby is skating. In winter, I like to skate in Central Park.
I have to go now and do my homework. I really hope that I hear from you soon!
Yours,
Megan

23、Saturday was my husband’s birthday, but we spent most of the time in the car. We were driving to Phoenix for the weekend to celebrate his birthday and see the Warriors play the Suns.
My husband is a lucky man. Not only has he lived to see another birthday, but he doesn’t mind driving 200 miles to see an NBA basketball game.
In the car, his cellphone kept ringing with birthday greetings from family and friends. He put them all on the speakerphone so he could drive with both hands and I could listen in even though it wasn’t my birthday.
Meanwhile, on the CD player, the Reverend AL Green began to sing Love and Happiness. A little good music makes a bad road better.
Four hours later, we checked into hotel, got dinner and sat out a rooftop feeling glad to be alive.
We had a great weekend—we ate too much, slept too little and the Warriors, well, they lost. But still, it was worth the drive.
On the way home, I started thinking about birthdays. In our family, we celebrate four in January, four in February, and all the others throughout the year. Mine is next week.
I felt lucky, like my husband, I will get cards and calls and maybe a few videos. I don’t need presents any more. When you’ve seen as many birthdays as I have seen, the only gift you truly want is to see one more.
Birthdays are the mile markers on the road of life. They tell us how far we have come, but not how far we have gone.
Life is a journey more than a destination. What matters is whom we choose as traveling companions, and how often we get to sit back and enjoy the ride.
【1】What helps to make their long journey drive to Phoenix better?
A. The phone calls from their friends.
B. The music played on their CD player.
C. The beautiful view along the road.
D. The desire to celebrate a nice birthday.
【2】What kind of birthday gift does the author really want?
A. A wish to live another year.
B. Calls and cards from friends.
C. A live NBA game
D. Videos from friends and family.
【3】What is the major lesson that the author took from the journey?
A. People should learn to appreciate life together with their loved ones.
B. Taking a long drive is a great way to celebrate a birthday.
C. A meaningful life is like a journey with a clear destination.
D. People shouldn’t rest on what they have but try to make new achievements.
【4】What could be the best title for this passage?
A. My lucky Husband
B. Driving to See a Basketball Game
C. Mile Markers on the Road of Life
D. A birthday journey
