Everyone who knew anything about animals warned me against getting a rabbit in my early 20s, but I ignored them, and ended up with three. It tuns out that all the people who are against rabbits have a point: Rabbits get sick all the time, and there are very few vets who specialize in their care. My years with rabbits have been full of feeding, hurried trips to the vet, sleepless nights and begging for advice on the Internet.

Now that my animals are old and weak now, I clear their waste and clean their legs with a rabbit-friendly shampoo. I spend a lot of time on the floor, because although my rabbits are hard to satisfy socially, they also hate to be picked up.

I am often asked the question: Why rabbits? Why not a dog, or a cat? I try to describe what it’s like to be with them. I had never felt a real duty towards anything until I had my rabbits.

My answers never satisfy anyone. I’m not sure about the question, either it so often implies instrumental value, as if the correct reply might be “They make good companions” or “They’re nice to look at”. I don’t have the right kind of reason. I don’t believe in the use value of any living thing. Like humans, animals just are — that’s it. Usually we do not look at other people and think about how to make them work for us. Yet so much of our way of seeing the world is founded on the assumption that animals are meant to serve a purpose. This seems wrong.

After all these years with my rabbits, the only thing I know is that there is no lesson to be learned or value to be acquired. There’s just an effort to be made, and as far as I’m concerned, that’s what life is.

24. Why do people oppose keeping rabbits?

 A. It’s very boring.  B. It costs a fortune.

 C. It’s rather demanding.  D. It makes the house messy.

25. Which word can be used to describe the author?

 A. Considerate.  B. Knowledgeable.  C. Sociable.  D. Energetic.

26. What is the meaning of the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?

 A. Animals should be treated differently.

 B. Animals shouldn’t be judged on some purpose.

 C. The value of animals shouldn’t be ignored.

 D. Humans should live in harmony with animals.

27. What effect does raising rabbits have on the author?

 A. He keeps being true to himself. B. He reflects on his life more deeply.

 C. He learns to value others’ opinions.  D. He realizes the meaning of life.

C

Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT, 麻省理工学院) have turned spider webs into music — creating a strange soundtrack that could help them better understand how the spiders output their complex creations and even how they communicate.

The MIT team worked with Berlin-based artist Tomas Saraceno to take 2D (two-dimensional) laser scans of a spider web, which were linked together and made into a mathematical model that could recreate the web in 3D in VR (virtual reality). They also worked with MIT’s music department to create the virtual instrument.

“Even though the web looks really random, there actually are a lot of inside structures and you can visualize them and you can look at them, but it’s really hard to grasp for the human imagination or human brain to understand all these structural details,” said MIT engineering professor Markus Buehler, who presented the work on Monday at a virtual meeting of the American Chemical Society.

Listening to the music while moving through the VR spider web lets you see and hear these structural changes and gives a better idea of how spiders see the world, Buehler told CNN. “Spiders use vibrations(振动) as a way to locate themselves, to communicate with other spiders and so the idea of thinking really like a spider would experience the world was something that was very important to us as spider material scientists,” he said.

Spiders are able to build their webs without shelves or supports, so having a better idea of how they work could lead to the development of advanced new 3D printing techniques. “The reason why I did that is that I wanted to be able to get information really from the spider world, which is very weird and mysterious,” Buehler explained. In addition to the scientific value, Buehler said the webs are musically interesting and that you can hear the sounds the spider creates during construction. “It’s unusual and eerie and scary, but finally beautiful,” he described.

28. What have MIT scientists done according to the passage?

 A. They have known how spiders communicate.

 B. They have translated spider webs into sounds.

 C. They have created a soundtrack to catch spiders.

 D. They have made a mathematical model to produce webs.

29. What can we know about spider webs from paragraph 3?

 A. Their structures are beautiful and clear.

 B. They are complex for people to figure out.

 C. Professor Markus Buehler knows them well.

 D. The American Chemical Society presents the result.

30. In which field will the study be helpful?

 A. Printing.  B. Virtual reality.  C. Painting.  D. Film-making.

31. What is the main idea of the passage?

 A. It explains why scientists did the experiment.

 B. It tells us that the music created by spiders is scary.

 C. It presents a new and creative way to study spiders.

 D. It shows how the researchers carry out the experiment.

D

Nearly gone are the days when humans covered themselves with blankets to keep warm, and it’s now the age of covering glaciers with blankets to keep them cool because at the rate climate is changing, which seems like a very workable idea to keep them from melting.

At a ski resort(度假胜地) in the Swiss Alps, the Swiss use blankets to protect the glacier from the warm climate. Gian Darms, who handles snow conditions at the ski resort, introduced this unique procedure. The blankets are being used to cover the top of the 10,623-foot Mount Titlis whose glacier has already melted in the last few decades and it is expected to disappear completely in the next 50 years due to global warming.

Facing the great effect of climate change, resort employees have taken it upon themselves to protect the glacier from the heat and for this process, they spend about five to six weeks every summer covering parts of the glacier with specially protective wool. This helps to reflect the Sun’s energy back into the atmosphere and prevent the glacier from melting, while also preserving the already fallen snow on the glacier in the previous winter season. After the season passes, the employees remove the coating and fill in the gaps in the glacier’s surface with the snow — now that is some commitment to Mother Nature!

This practice has been going on for a while now and the area of the glacier has increased to almost 100,000 square meters now. “We’ve been covering more and more in the last few years. Almost 30,000 square meters more is covered this year alone,” said Darms.

The ski resort’s actions show how severe the effect of climate change is on glaciers which have been melting at rapid rates in the past few years. Many different resorts have also started following suit to try to prevent them from melting. Saving an entire glacier is a completely different story. It is actually costly and potentially unfavorable to surrounding ecosystems. As a result, such blankets have only been applied mostly in an effort to preserve profitable ski runs.

32. How is the topic introduced?

 A. By giving an example.  B. By analyzing causes.

 C. By making a comparison. D. By describing a process.

33. What does the underlined word “that” refer to in paragraph 3?

 A. Coating the glacier with special wool.

 B. Saving the glacier at the ski resort successfully.

 C. Taking action to slow down climate change.

 D. Using collected snow for the glacier’s openings.

34. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of global glaciers?

 A. Opposed.  B. Worried.  C. Indifferent.  D. Skeptical.

35. What’s the best title for the text?

 A. Resort Cools Its Glacier with Blankets

 B. Global Warming Threatens Glaciers

 C. Blankets Cover an Entire Glacier

 D. Glaciers Enter a Different Age Now

Whoever wrote the song “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year” must have never experienced the holiday blues. Fortunately, psychological research suggests some effective ways you can use to beat the holiday blues.          36          Instead, they can help contribute to a healthy and happy life. Here are four strategies to help you make your own happiness recipe this holiday season.

         37          

At family gatherings with cousins you secretly can’t stand, you tend to put on a happy face. Indeed, that might even seem like the most mature response — no drama, no conflict. But a 2011 study followed dozens of bus drivers, looking to see when they gave forced or honest smiles at their passengers. The results showed when the drivers pretended to have a good mood, their actual moods got worse, so trying to force happiness seems to have the opposite effects.

Let off sadness

The results of the bus-driver study can be explained by researchers who find that negative feelings like sadness or anger only increase when we try to control them.          38          We don’t like contradictory behavior.

Respond cautiously

Recently, scientists have been paying special attention to the benefits of caution.          39          A cautious response to a negative event reduces sadness we experience. Besides, it is associated with less anxiety, and may even carry physiological benefits.

Enjoy a mix of emotions

Of course, the holidays will bring a mix of highs and lows, but the most important lesson to keep in mind is that this variety of emotions might be the best thing possible for your overall well-being.          40          Just make sure you’re balancing them with lighter experiences. And don’t forget to give yourself a break.

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。

Jenny had hearing problems when she was four years old. Several surgeries later, Jenny was found having a severe joint disease at seven. She could not put pressure on the back parts of her feet, so she walked on tiptoe(脚尖), and when the pain became unbearable, someone had to carry her. Once when she suddenly experienced sharp pain, her friends got her up and carried her from class to class.

All through grade school, and on into high school, Jenny suffered, yet never complained. She took her medicine and wrapped her feet in steaming towels until the pain eased. As soon as she could bear the pain Jenny immediately carried on, as though she was free of pain. She always wore a smile on her face and expressed her love for others.

Jenny had never been a cheerleader or competed in a sport. She could not even take part in a gym class, though she took the same health class four years in a row, through which she could pass with a substitute credit each year.

Jenny continued to have one surgery after another on her ears all through school. Her hearing improved and she taught herself to read lips. She also carried a pillow(枕头) to school so that she could relieve the pain when she sat down. Gradually, Jenny began attending every football game, cheering the team on.

Then came her senior year. She saw documents about scholarships on the school website when visiting it one day. According to the statement, she would be considered for scholarships; however, school activities, especially sports, could often mean the difference between receiving an award and losing out. She continued to read other notices and found an ad from the football team, which stated that the football manager was seeking for an assistant, who would take on ancillary(辅助的) services like taking charge of the team’s supplies, communication and security.

Be Smart Online Learners

 Good morning, everyone! It’s my great honor to share my views on being smart online learners.

 Nowadays, online learning has become an efficient way to study for its abundant resources, low cost and great
convenience. Moreover, due to the outbreak of COVID-19, online learning is the safest way to help us keep up with
the courses. However, being online may have a negative effect on those who lack self-discipline. What’s worse, long
screen time can do unavoidable harm to our eyesight.

 Therefore, to become a smart online learner, we are expected to arrange our time online sensibly and do eye-exercises regularly. Whether you will be a smart online learner depends on the way you use the Internet.

 Thanks for your listening!

第二节 

 Jenny decided to seize the chance. The football manager turned her down at first considering her health condition.
But Jenny didn’t give up, promising that she would spare no effort to fulfill the duties. Impressed by her persistence,
he finally gave in with the warning, “If you miss ONE game, you’re out!” Jenny nodded in excitement. Before each
game, Jenny could be seen carrying big buckets of water to her teammates, with her pillow under the arm. She helped
bandage knees, massaged backs and gave pep talks. It turned out to be one of the best years for the team in its history.

 When asked why the team did so well that year, a player spoke of Jenny. “When we’re knocked down and can’t
move, we look up and see Jenny, struggling across the field, dragging her buckets and carrying her pillow. It makes
anything the rest of us suffer seem insignificant. We feel we have no excuse not to work hard,” he recalled. Finally,
Jenny gained recognition and respect that she totally deserved, and she received a number of scholarships. Her favorite scholarship, however, was a small one from a sports club, because she thought it was of special and considerable significance to her.
