Many people have heard the story of Nessie, Scotland's Loch Ness monster. Yet, have you ev­er heard of an ice monster in the American state of Alaska?

An ice monster is what many people thought they were seeing when a federal government agen­cy published a strange-looking video. The Bureau of Land Management put the video on its Face­book page.

The pictures were taken in Alaska, the northernmost part of the United States. While winter has yet to officially begin, weather conditions there already are very cold.

In the video, a fish with ice on its back appears to be swimming. The video was only 20 sec­onds long. But it was enough to get people wondering what they saw.

One person said it showed a shark that lost its way. Someone else thought the video was a prank designed to cheat people. He said the Bureau of Land Management wanted to bring attention to its Facebook page. Other people asked if the video was edited in some way, removing some ima­ges or adding others. Perhaps, they reasoned, the bureau was trying to frighten people around the celebration of Halloween. Some people said the ice monster was a large fish: a sturgeon （鲟）. Someone even suggested the creature was a crocodile. But such an animal could not survive in Alas­ka, where it does not get very hot, even in summer. Some readers said it was ice moving in the riv­er current, or ice that was frozen to a rope or some other object.

On October 31, the Bureau of Land Management published an update. It agreed with some of the people who commented on the original piece. An expert from the Department of Fish and Game told the bureau the picture looked "really cool, ” but it was probably just ice stuck to a rope. The ice caused the rope to float and move in the river's current.

Even though the mystery seems to be solved, some people do not seem persuaded. Others are still wishing it was a "real " monster.

24. What is the author's main purpose in asking the question in Paragraph 1 ?

A. To encourage readers to answer it.

B. To open a discussion among readers.

C. To arouse people's interest in Nessie.

D. To introduce the topic of the passage.

25. What does the underlined word " prank” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?

A. Puzzle. B. Dream. C. Trick. D. Advertisement.

26. The monster couldn't be a crocodile because .

A. a crocodile can't swim so quickly B. the temperature is too low in Alaska

C. a crocodile only moves in summer D. itdoesn't look like a crocodile at all

27. According to the expert, what is the ice monster most likely to be?

A. A shark losing its way. B. A large fish: a sturgeon.

C. A sea creature like Nessie. D. A piece of ice frozen to a rope.

C

Many cultures around the world have a grain that is not grown or even known outside its home area. Now, a staple grain native to Ethiopia, teff, is appearing on grocery shelves in America.

Teff has been an important part of the Ethiopian diet for thousands of years. Like rice and wheat, it is a cereal grass. Teff is known for its fine grain and used mainly to make flour. Teff flour is the key ingredient in injera, the large, spongy pancakes that make up a large portion of the Ethi­opian diet.

Teff was introduced to the United States by a man named Wayne Carlson, who learned about teff while doing public health work in Africa in the mid-1970s. "I came to know teff because I was eating it all the time and hosted by teff farmers. " he said. In the late 70s, Carlson returned to the U. S. , married and settled in southwest Idaho. Then he came up with an idea to introduce teff grass to his home state. " Geologically, it is very similar to Ethiopia."

Wayne and his wife Elisabeth are not farmers, nor do they want to be. So they convinced actu­al farmers in Idaho to grow teff on contract for them. The Carlsons milled it themselves.

Wayne went through the Washington, D. C. telephone book and looked for the names that were Ethiopian. And that is how the business slowly grew. Over time, the Teff Company has outgrown four different mills.

Rich Roseberg is a food researcher at Oregon State University. He says teff production has ex­ploded over the past decade in the U. S. He says most teff grown in the U. S. is fed to farm ani­mals. In Idaho, however, where the Carlsons are based, Roseberg believes more of the teff produc­tion is for human food. Teff contains lots of calcium, iron, protein and fiber. Roseberg credits Wayne Carlson for being ahead of his time.

28. How do the Ethiopians mainly use teff?

A. By eating the cereal grass. B. By using the flour made from it.

C. By adding the plant into injera. D. By mixing it with rice and wheat.

29. According to Wayne, why is it possible for teff to grow well in Idaho?

A. Idaho is located close to Ethiopia.

B. Teff is easy to survive on its own.

C. Idaho has geographic features similar to Ethiopia.

D. Teff was originally introduced to Ethiopia from Idaho.

30. What can we infer from Paragraph 5?

A. Wayne's teff did not sell well at first.

B. Wayne's teff was sold only to Ethiopians.

C. Wayne sent teff to his Ethiopian friends.

D. Wayne lost control of his Teff Company.

31. What is Rich Roseberg's attitude to Wayne introducing teff into America?

A. Worried. B. Disapproving. C. Favorable. D. Pessimistic.

D

UK physicist Isaac Newton once said, “ Nature is pleased with simplicity and nature is no dum­my （傻子）.” Indeed, Mother Nature can provide almost everything human beings need if we follow her rules. But if we break the rules, she is likely to be cruel.

The outbreak of the novel coronavirus pneumonia （新型冠状病毒肺炎，NCP） in China and some other countries at the beginning of this year is an example. According to Xinhua News Agen­cy ,the new coronavirus is similar to a virus found in a bat in 2017 and probably has an intermedi­ate host （中间宿主）.Ifs believed that the virus originated from the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan, Hubei province, where live wild animals were sold.

The Wall Street Journal reported that Dr Peter Daszak, president of the US-based health organ­ization EcoHealth Alliance, said, “This outbreak is a lesson for us. On a global scale, human popu­lation density （密度），wildlife diversity, and land use change are what drive new pandemics （流 行病）.”

In ancient times, people needed to rely on nature to survive so they held it in awe （敬畏）. For example, the American Indians believed that humans are a part of nature and nature is a pail of humans. Chinese ancients always pursued the harmony between nature and human beings.

However, as human beings master more knowledge and make more advanced tools, people try to change and even conquer nature. They use more land to make buildings, genetically modify plants, capture some wild and rare animals to suit their own needs. In this process, humans gradu­ally lose contact with nature and even throw it out of balance. For example, cutting a large number of forests means carbon dioxide must build up in the atmosphere and it contributes to global war­ming.

Although we don't know for sure what first caused the NCP outbreak, Brian Lamacraft at Medi­um said it's time for people to'' reflect on our relationship with our plant" reconnect with this world and everything that we've been given". After all, according to US poet Gary Snyder, " Nature is not the place to visit. It's our home."

32. Why does the author give the example of the NCP in Paragraph 2?

A. Because it results from humans going against nature.

B. Because it has caused widespread suffering.

C. Because it broke out at the beginning of this year.

D. Because it is similar to another pandemic.

33. What lesson did Daszak think human beings should learn from the NCP outbreak?

A. Bats are one of the most dangerous wild animals.

B. It's impossible to prevent new pandemics globally.

C. We should stop the wildlife trade around the world.

D. Humans should live peacefully with nature.

34. What is the main idea of Paragraph 5?

A. How human beings become their own masters.

B. How human activities cause global warming.

C. How human beings break the balance of nature.

D. How humans use technology to improve their lives.

35. What is the author's purpose in writing this article?

A. To reflect on the NCP outbreak.

B. To explain what led to the NCP outbreak.

C. To describe experts, predictions on new pandemics.

D. To compare ancient and modem attitudes toward nature.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。

Whether we realize it or not, hand gestures are a constant part of our communication. Hand gestures can make people listen to you more attentively, feel more comfortable around you, or even add an air of authority to your words. 36 

These gestures are most helpful when one is speaking to someone with no language in common. 37   . While visiting a new city or country, it is important to learn what certain gestures mean so that you don’t offend anyone.

38 . During a visit to Australia, former US President George W. Bush tried to signal a peace sign by waving the two fingers or V-sign at the crowd. You may think of this as a simple ges­ture ,but he committed a major error. 39   . This hand geture in Australia is a rude expression used to show you're very angry. Therefore, it's important to understand the meaning of gestures be­fore you communicate with people in different cultures.

Those considered as a good gestures in one country may be termed as an offensive gesture in some countries. 40.

A. Here is a very common example.

B. We communicate not only by words, but by hand getures as well.

C. However, the same gesture can mean something quite different in another culture.

D. He received warm welcome by the Australians.

E. Instead of his palm facing outwards, it faced inwards.

F. So, if you are a frequent flier to different countries, improve your communication skills by learn­ing the meaning of certain gestures.

G. Since it's such a common mode of communication, using hand gestures effectively is important.

Dear Jack,

I am so glad to receive your letter and know your interest in the Three Gorges. You are perfect­ly welcome to come and tour in this fascinating place.

The Three Gorges area, with its steep cliffs, crystal-clear water and rich history and culture, is the real highlight of the Yangtze River. Every year millions of tourists are attracted here partly be­cause of its gorgeous scenery and unique historical sites and partly because of the world-famous dam, which has been built to control flooding and provide power for the central region of China.

The best way to get to know this wonderful area is a river cruise. Once you get aboard, you will find yourself completely immersed in this awesome spot. Hope you'll have a good time in Chi­na.              Yours,

Li Hua
