22、Humans have been keeping animals as pets for tens of thousands of years, but Dr. Jean-Loup Rault, an animal scientist at the University of Melbourne in Australia, believes new companions are coming: robot pets.
“Technology is moving very fast,” Rault told ABC News, “The Tamagotchi in the early 1990s was really the first robotic pet, and now Sony and other big companies have improved them a lot.”
This may not sit well with pet lovers. After all, who would choose a plastic toy over a lovely puppy? But Rault argues that the robotic kind has a lot going for it: “You don’t have to feed it, you don’t have to walk it, it won’t make a mess in your house, and you can go on a holiday without feeling guilty.” The technology also benefits those who are allergic to pets, short on space, or fearful of real animals.
It’s not clear whether robot pets can replace real ones. But studies do suggest that we can bond with these smart machines. People give their cars names and kids give their toy animals life stories. It’s the same with robots. When Sony stopped its repair service for its robot dog Aibo in March 2014, owners in Japan held funerals.
As an animal welfare researcher, Rault is concerned about how robotic pets could affect our attitudes towards live animals. “If we become used to a robotic companion that doesn’t need food, water or exercises, perhaps it will change how humans care about other living beings,” he said.
So are dogs and cats a thing of the past, as Rault predicts? For those who grew up with living and breathing pets, the mechanical kind might not do. But for our next generation who are in constant touch with smart technology, a future in which lovely pets needn’t have a heartbeat might not be a far-fetched dream.

23、Everyone knows that there are people who can keep secrets and people who can’t. There are people who can keep things to themselves until the day they die and people whose mouths constantly swing open like a door.
I have a granddaughter who, try as she might, just can’t keep a secret. Take my recent birthday for example.
“I know it’s going to be your birthday soon,” she said with a naughty smile. “How old are you going to be?”
“How old do you think I’m going to be?”
“22. That’s pretty old.”
“You’re close. I’m actually going to be 23.”
“Whoa,” she said, drawing the word out to make a bigger impact (影响).
“My mom said she would take me shopping because I wanted to buy you a present myself and I did.”
And with that, it began. I knew it was just a matter of time before she ruined the surprise. Ten, nine, eight…it seemed like she was about to explode.
“Mom took me to Stein Mart!” Seven, six, five... she jumped out of her chair with excitement.
“I don’t want to know what you bought,” I sad.
“Oh, yes you do!” My granddaughter is like a mind reader; but I can’t tell her that.
“You like turquoise (绿松石), I know you do” She was hopping (跳) from foot to foot, spinning in circles, her voice rising higher. Four, three, two...
“You don’t want to know if I got you a necklace?”
“OK, I won’t tell you.”
She sat down and began to draw. She drew a semicircle (半圆) with turquoise shapes bordering it on one side and then, smiling from ear to ear, held the drawing up to her chest.
“I think I’m going to like it?” I said.
When her mom picked her up, she immediately admitted to telling the secret. She said that her stomach had hurt because the secret needed to come out. Isn’t that how it always happens? It’s not your fault, it’s the secrets fault.
On my birthday, I unwrapped (拆开……的包装) the colorful paper inside the gift bag and pulled out a lovely turquoise necklace. It was very similar to the drawing I’d seen the day before.
The kid may never have a career in espionage (间谍行为), but she surely has a future in art .

24、 Every year migratory（迁徙的） bats travel from Mexico to Bracken Cave, where they spend the summer consuming insects that would otherwise hungrily eat common food crops. But the bats have been showing up far earlier than they did two decades ago.
In a study, scientists at Rothamsted Research, used radar data from 160 U.S. weather stations to analyze activity in the Texas bat colony from 1995 through 2017. They discovered the creatures were leaving their winter quarters in Mexico earlier and reproducing sooner. They were also astonished to find increasing numbers of bats overwintering（过冬）at Bracken Cave instead of heading back to their cold weather quarters in Mexico. Overwintering is a sign that warmer temperatures change the bats' annual rhythms, Rothamsted biologist Phillip Stepanian says.
A separate study of migratory bats in Indiana, published last year, found that temperature variations affected arrival and departure times-likewise hinting at the potential influence of climate change. Joy O'Keefe, a biology professor and co-author of that study, says early arrival at their summer habitats could expose these bats to cold snaps（寒流）, and they could freeze to death.
Joy O’Keefe and her colleagues also found that changing bat migration times can also clash with rainfall patterns. Many insects that bats eat breed in seasonal lakes and puddles. If the bats arrive too early to benefit from summer rainfall and the resulting abundance of insects, they may struggle to feed their pups（幼崽） or skip reproduction altogether, O’Keefe says. She fears this shift could cause Midwestern bats to decrease toward extinction, which would be bad news for humans. “Declines in bat populations could have severe effects for crop success,” she says, adding that bats also “control significant disease vectors, such as mosquitoes.”
However, scientists are not certain that climate change alone is causing the Bracken Cave bat colony to migrate earlier. They have found a direct link between seasonal temperatures and bird migration, but bats are also influenced by factors such as changes in wind speed and direction. And there are other complications. “Bats are mysterious little animals that move mostly at night and are difficult to observe and track ,” Stepanian says. “We have this conceptual picture of what might be happening, but really tying it to the cause is the next step.”
【1】What is the best title for the passage?
A.Bats’ habitants B.Endangered bats
C.Bats’ migration D.Bats, our good friends
【2】Scientists at Rothamsted Research found that ______.
A.bats prefer heading back to Mexico B.bats delay their reproduction

【3】Joy O’Keefe discovered that ______.

B.bats’ earlier migration might harm farming
C.insects' reproduction helps to spread disease
D.insects shortage makes bats reproduce earlier
【4】What does the underlined word they refer to?
A.Insects. B.migration times.
C.Bats. D.lakes and puddles.
【5】What does the last paragraph want to tell us?
A.Wind speed and direction affect bats.
B.It is difficult to observe and track bats.
C.Climate change makes bats migrate earlier.
D.Further research on the cause is necessary.

26、阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was an ordinary but unforgettable Saturday, and everything was nice and peaceful. The wind, soft but a little cool, clicked through tree branches and stirred the bushes. I was walking along the river, which is rushing and sparkling between green banks, and enjoying some hot chocolate with the sun shining down on me on this nice spring day. I was in the mood to do something nice for a stranger and started to look around for an opportunity to do a random act of kindness.
Two minutes later I was approached from across the pathway by a complete stranger. I wasn’t sure why he was approaching me, when from out of nowhere he started talking to me really rudely. I could tell he was probably drunk or high or who-knows-what, so I just stayed calm and kept walking ahead. There were hundreds of people sitting on benches nearby and walking along the South Bank with me, so I wasn’t really worried.
However, as I tried to walk along, he kept saying offensive things to me and trying to get my attention. I tried to change my course and he kept following me, coming closer each time, and just wouldn’t leave me alone. At one point, he literally cornered me near the rail next to the river at which point I got really scared and didn’t know what to do. Although there were people everywhere, I got worried that the bystander effect might kick in and nobody would do anything about what they were seeing. I was praying that one of the many people sitting on benches nearby who could hear everything and watched this whole episode unfold would be courageous enough to help me out of this situation. “What should I do? What should I do?” I was nearly sobbing.
