23、On a Friday night in May 2015, Oliver and Lone Kleven heard angry shouts coming from their front lawn. Lone, 68, stepped onto the porch and saw two men in dark clothes struggling with something on the ground—right where she and her grandson had planted a flower bed the weekend before.
“Go fight somewhere else!” she shouted, worried her plants would get damaged. At the sound of her voice, the face of a boy appeared from beneath the two men. He looked 13 or 14 or so. “They’re trying to kill me!” the boy screamed. Lone ran toward them and, without hesitation, caught the boy’s arm, pulling him out.
“Leave him alone!” she shouted. When the men stood up, Lone saw what looked like a sharp object in one man’s hand. When she turned back toward the boy, he was moaning in pain and holding his stomach. The attackers began to move in on the boy again when Lone’s husband shouted: “Get lost!” The two men walked quickly and quietly across the street and drove off in a dark car.
“I have to get to the hospital!” the boy cried. He lifted his shirt, and Lone could see a bloody wound on his stomach. Oliver hugged the trembling boy while Lone caught her cell phone and car keys inside the house. She handed the phone to Oliver. “Call 911,” she told him. “I’m going after them.” Lone took off but was unable to find the car.
The Klevens then learned what had happened. Earlier that night, as the boy waited for his parents to pick him up from the high school across the street from the Klevens’ house, two men approached and demanded his wallet. When he refused, one of the men hit him in the face. The boy ran across the street. The men caught up with him, and one hurt him in the back and stomach with a sharp knife. That’s when Lone stepped in.

24、While how attractive you are to mosquitoes (蚊子) depends on plenty of factors, new research has found the colors you’re wearing definitely play a role.
That’s the main conclusion from a new study published in the journal Nature Communications. For the study, researchers from the University of Washington tracked the behavior of female mosquitoes when they were given different types of visual and scent cues (气味信号). The researchers put the mosquitoes into small test rooms and exposed them to different things, like a colored dot or person’s hand.
“Mosquitoes first find that you re around by smelling carbon dioxide from your breath. That causes them to look for certain colors and visual patterns that could indicate food,” the researchers explained.
When there was no scent like carbon dioxide in the test rooms, the mosquitoes pretty much ignored the colored dot, no matter what color it was. But once researchers sprayed carbon dioxide in the room, they flew toward dots that were red, orange, black, or cyan. Dots that were green, blue, or purple were ignored.
“Light colors are regarded as a threat to mosquitoes, which is why many species usually avoid biting in direct sunlight,” researcher Timothy Best says. “Mosquitoes are more likely to die from dehydration (脱水). Therefore, light colors may represent danger and avoidance. In contrast, darker colors may represent shadows, which are more likely to absorb and keep heat, allowing mosquitoes to use their complicated antenna (触角) to locate a host.
If you have the option of wearing lighter or darker clothes when you know you’ll be going into an area with lots of mosquitoes, you’d better go with the lighter choice. “Dark colors stand out to mosquitoes,” he says.
【1】How do mosquitoes sense a person around?
A．By using their eyes.
B．By using their antenna.
C．By identifying the color.
D．By smelling carbon dioxide.
【2】What’s found in the experiment?

D．Mosquitoes are interested in green.
【3】Which color is your best choice in a place with many mosquitoes?
A．Red.
B．Orange.
C．Black.
D．White.
【4】What does the author mainly want to tell us?
A．Mosquitoes like to live in dark places.
B．Mosquitoes are more possible to die from dehydration.
C．The color plays a role in attracting mosquitoes.
D．Dark colors are seen as a threat to mosquitoes.

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。
One spring morning may years ago, I had been looking for gold along Coho Creek in southeastern Alaska. I froze in my tracks—no more than 20 paces away in the bog（沼泽）was a huge Alaskan wolf—caught in one of traps.
Confused and frightened al my approach, the wolf backed away. Then I noticed something else: It was a female, and obviously, she was in lactation（哺乳期）. Somewhere there was a den（窝）of hungry pups waiting for their mother. From her appearance, I guessed that she had been trapped only a few days. That meant her pups were probably still alive, surely no more than a few miles away. But I suspected that if I tried to release the wolf, she would turn aggressive and try to tear me to pieces. So I decided to search for her pups instead and began to look for tracks that might lead me to her den. Fortunately, there were still a few remaining patches of snow.
After several moments, I spotted paw marks on a path to the bog. I finally spotted the den at the base of an enormous tree. There wasn't a sound inside. Wolf pups are shy and cautious, and I didn't have much hope of attracting them outside. But I had to try. So I began imitating the cry of a mother wolf calling her young. No response. A few moments later, after I tried another call, four tiny pups appeared. They couldn't have been more than a few weeks old. I extended my hands, and they tentatively suckled at my fingers. Perhaps hunger had helped overcome their natural fear. Then, one by one, I placed them in a bag and headed back to the mother wolf. When she spotted me, she stood straight.
