21、When migratory bird ecologist Brian Evans first started hearing about dead birds across Washington, D. C. in mid May, he "wrote it off." Bird deaths in the spring are common-only 30 percent of young songbirds typically survive to the next season. And with people stuck at home during the pandemic, "we're noticing these things." Evans says. "Everybody got into birds last year, and then this year they realize birds have awful lives!"

Then, while Evans was in his garden on May 28, his neighbor came over to tell him about a bird she had just found on the road. "It looked like it was blind," she said, "and it was shaking. When she walked up to it, it didn't budge." "That's when this little flash went off in my head saying, that's pretty unusual." Evans says. "That's not your typical dying young birds."

Later that day, a colleague started texting him photos of dead birds. Half an hour after that, another neighbor called him to look at a bird that had crusty (暴躁的) eyes and couldn't balance. "I grabbed it and took it to City Wildlife," he says. "I went in there, and they were like, oh, yeah, this is really serious."

"This event is remarkable," Evans says. "What makes it significant is the number of birds that have been ill or have died and the number of species that have been impacted." Cases have also appeared in a variety of birds. "One American crow was just standing in the street," near his house in May, Evans says. "It was very unusual. It died as I was preparing to take it to City Wildlife."

However, total and even statewide numbers remain tricky to determine, says Evans. "I'm still desperately trying to understand the distribution of the epidemic", he says.

On July 2, the US Geological Survey, which is working with wildlife agencies in the affected states, announced that "no definitive causes of illness or death have been determined at this time."

【1】How did Evans react after hearing about dead birds first?

A．He realized the misery of birds.

B．He put down what he had heard.

C．He didn't take the thing seriously.

D．He found out the cause of their death.

【2】What does the underlined word "budge" mean in paragraph 2?

A．Move.

B．Attack.

C．Feed.

D．Scream.

【3】Why did Evans mention an American crow?

A．To explain the cause of the disease.

B．To stress the severity of the crisis.

C．To show the need of protecting birds.

D．To express his sympathy for suffering birds.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A．The bird death is being ignored in America.

B．The total species of American birds remain a mystery.

C．The death of mass birds in the US puzzles scientists.

D．The number of dying birds in America is decreasing.

23、The human brain remembers negative experiences more easily than positive ones. Our brains have developed in this way because threats, like dangerous animals, have a more immediate effect on people’s survival compared to positive things like food or shelter. As a result, you clearly know what makes you unhappy, but do you know what makes you happy?

Research suggests that our level of happiness is partly shaped by the choices we make. If you’ve been chasing wealth, fame, power and some material things, you may be looking for happiness in the wrong places. Psychologists suggest that the following habits can make people happier.

People who own close relationships tend to be happier than those who do not. The number of our friends is not important. What matters is the quality of our relationships. Relationships that bring happiness usually consist of the sharing of feelings, acceptance, mutual (双方的) respect and trust.

People who exercise regularly can improve both their physical and mental well-being. Some research has shown that exercise can be as effective as some medicine in treating depression.

If we are so interested in an activity, we may lose track of time, and we can be in a state of flow. The activity could be playing the piano, surfing the Internet or playing a game… People who experience flow in their work or life tend to be happier.

People are more likely to be happy if they know what their strengths are and can use them regularly. People are especially happy when they can set goals and use their strengths to achieve them.

People, who think positively by being grateful, mindful and optimistic, are more likely to be happy. Being grateful means being thankful. Being mindful means considering, focusing on, and enjoying the experiences of the present moment. Being optimistic means being hopeful about the future.

【1】Why do Human brains remember negative things more easily?

A．Because negative things tend to affect human survival immediately

B．Because negative things are easy to remember

C．Because negative things are much more important than other things

D．Because negative things can make people live much happier

【2】According to this passage, in which of the following can people not find happiness?

A．making friends

B．doing sports

C．playing the violin

D．chasing power

【3】In the last paragraph, what does author try to tell us?

A．We should think more about our future.

B．We should be positive in our life and work.

C．We should focus on everything in our life.

D．We should only enjoy the present moment.

【4】What does the passage mainly want to tell us?

A．Why people remember positive things easily.

B．Why people remember negative things easily.

C．Some habits that make people happy.

D．The habits the people form in their life.

24、   During my senior year in college I was still a few credits short of graduating, so I skimmed through the class schedule looking for something to fill the hours. When I came across “Private Voice instruction”, as in singing lessons, I thought, “Why not step outside my comfort zone and give it a try?

I was careful to sign up for private lessons instead of group lessons because I didn’t want to make a fool of myself by singing in front of other students.

Things went fine until the end of the term when my singing professor brought the shocking news. “By the way, Sean, have you decided which song you want to sing at the recital?”

“That would not be a good idea,” I said. The thought of singing in front of a group made me physically sick.

“Courage, Sean,” I kept rehearsing in my mind. “You’ve got to at least try.”

That awesome day finally arrived. As I stood in front of the class, all eyes fell upon me. I couldn’t help but think, “How? How in the world did I get myself into this situation?”

Even before I reached the second line, the expressions of excitement on the students’ faces turned to anguish(痛苦). I was so nervous that my body felt as tight as jeans just pulled from the dryer.

Near the end of the song is a really high note. I don’t recall if I hit that note or missed it. All I remember is that a few students were so embarrassed that they couldn’t even look at me.

I finished and sat down quickly. Silence. No one knew what to say.

But do you know what? Although that experience nearly killed me, when I left that classroom, I was so proud of myself. I felt a great sense of personal accomplishment, and I frankly didn’t care what anyone else thought about my high note. I had survived and I was proud of it.

【1】Why did the author choose the private lessons?

C.He wanted to get more attention.

D.He wanted better teaching quality.

【2】How did the author feel when hearing the news from his singing professor?

A.Surprised and nervous.

B.Moved and thankful.

C.Excited and confident.

D.Disappointed and worried.

【3】What do we learn about the author’s performance?

A.He didn’t finish it.

B.It was a great success.

C.Few students watched it.

D.It turned out to be a failure.

【4】Why did the author feel proud of himself?

A.He had overcome himself.

B.He had hit the high note.

C.He had conquered the audience.

D.He thought he had sung very well.
