21、From the time I was a young girl, all I wanted was to play outside. I used the ferns (蕨类植物) in my childhood backyard to raise myself up muddy Pacific Northwest slopes (斜坡), sat by the edge of the property’s wooded stream and imagined it was a winding river.
Hours were spent on horseback, prepared with bags and snacks to ride the same path over and over, always dreaming up a new experience. As an adult, my interests are consistent, though the landscape has shifted. For the last four years, I have had the opportunity to explore our Earth’s most remote cold water locations as an underwater videographer and ocean-focused naturalist, developing an appreciation and understanding for challenging corners of the globe. Though my travels have taken me from Antarctica to the Arctic, it’s the temperate in-between that captivates me. During the last four years, Southeast Alaska, particularly the Inian Islands in its incredible wildness and productivity, has stolen my attention. My name is Alyssa Adler, I am the Inian Islands Institute’s 2019 Scientist in Residence and National Geographic grant recipient for project Tall Trees in Cold Seas.
The natural beauty of the Inians is pure, but the environment works for it. Massive rushing tides (潮水) flood the Hobbit Hole twice daily, like an angry river. Sometimes I learn some meaningful and useful lessons the hard way. Transportation of extensive dive equipment required the help of people in Ketchikan, Gustavus and other places. These lessons only allow my respect for this region to the full, teaching me how to be successful. I need to learn and understand the power and network of Southeast Alaska, both in the water and out. It’s all worth it to roll into the salty Pacific Ocean, turn on my cameras as I sink to the seafloor, and shine my lights on early spring in the Inian Islands.
【1】What is the purpose of the first paragraph?
A．To share an amazing story.
B．To introduce a unique plant.
C．To suggest a special river.
D．To explain the author’s wish.
【2】What does the underlined word “captivate” mean in paragraph 2?
A．Surprise.
B．Discourage.
C．Worry.
D．Attract.
【3】What do you think of Alyssa Adler’s job?
A．Boring.
B．Demanding.
C．Challenging.
D．Well-paid.
【4】What message does the text convey?
A．Love breaks down barriers.
B．Hard work finally pays off.
C．Ups and downs make one strong.
D．Enthusiasm fuels devotion.
22、The scientist from the Lockheed Space Company work in Felton, California, with the help of a computer. But the computer is placed in Sunnyside, about 80 kilometers away. What scientists input (输入) is sent by telephone lines to the computer, and after a time, copies of the designs are needed back in Felton as quickly as possible Lockheed people have tried several ways of sending the prints, but the most effective seems to be by pigeon. Are pigeons really used to carry messages in these days? They are, and they send the prints faster and cheaper than any other way.
Human messengers are much more expensive and slower than the pigeons. The road to Felton goes through the mountains, and the driving is not easy. An electronic printout (电子打印输出) system could do the work in Felton, but at a cost of 10 dollars a print. Pigeons carry the designs for about 1 dollar each.
Now Lockheed people have ten pigeon messengers. The pigeons do the work, and they have made Lockheed more famous. You can often read the news about pigeons in the newspapers around the world.

24、Culture is more than just buildings, monuments and natural wonders. It can also be oral traditions, performing arts, social practices, religious ceremonies, festive events, knowledge and practices concerning nature and the universe. There are intangible (无形的) parts of culture that are important, too.
ZvonCari, Croatia:
Recognized by UNESCO in 2009，this tradition features two to thirty people who ring the bells. They wear special clothes and hats, carrying a small tree through various villages. They ring their bells to request food and rest before continuing to the next village. Each of them returns to their own villages and burns any rubbish outside their homes.
Jultagi, Korean tightrope walking:
We're all familiar with tightrope-walking, but this Korean tradition—recognized by UNESCO in 2011—involves a comedic routine, fancy completions and lively music. The Jultagi Safeguarding Association provides training for the tradition.
Mongolian knuckle bone shooting:
Not all cultural heritages are about dancing and performing. Some, like this tradition from Mongolia that was recognized by UNESCO in 2014, are games. Teams of six to eight players attempt to land 30 marbles (弹珠) made of bones into a target zone. Each player uses individualized tools to achieve this. Different teams have different practices and skill sets, and games create an opportunity to exchange ideas.
Horseback shrimp (虾) fishing, Belgium:
Twelve families of horseback shrimpers collect shrimp twice a week in Oostdunkerke, Belgium, as well as during special occasions like festivals. This method of shrimping requires trust of one's self and one's horse, to say nothing of the knowledge required to read the sand. It joins other cultural traditions recognized by UNESCO in 2013.

25、When a human infant is born into any other community in any part of the world, it has two things in common with any infant, provided neither of them has been damaged in any way either before or during birth.
Firstly, and most obviously, new born children are completely _________. Apart from a powerful capacity to draw attention on their helplessness by using sound, there is nothing the new born child can do to _________ his own survival. Without _________ from some other human being or beings, be it mother, grandmother, or human group, a child is very unlikely to survive. This helplessness of human infants is in marked contrast with the _________ of many new born animals to get to their _________ within minutes of birth and run with the herd within a few hours. Although young animals are certainly in _________, sometimes for weeks or even months after birth, compared with the human _________, they very quickly develop the capacity to _________ themselves. It is during this very long period in which the human infant is totally _________ on the others that it reveals the second feature which it ____________ with all other undamaged human infants, a capacity to learn ____________.
For this reason, biologists now suggest that language is "species specific" to the human race, that is to say, they consider the human infant to be genetically ____________ in such a way that it can ____________ language. This suggestion implies that just as human beings are designed to see three-dimensionally and in color and just as they are designed to ____________ upright rather man to move on all fours, so they are designed to learn and use language as part of their normal ____________ as well-formed human beings.
