My hands were shaking uncontrollably.I tried incredibly hard to focus on the words that I spent hours putting down on paper.I tried to conquer my fear of speaking in public on numerous occasions throughout my life. During college and at my first few jobs,I would get ridiculously nervous when I ha
d to give a presentation or lead a meeting.Public speaking had been my nemesis for as long as I could remember.
Then in my mid-thirties,I decided to join the public speaking group Toastmasters.At every meeting,we were rated and forced to compete with other speakers for an award.You would think that I would walk away from these experiences as a polished speaker,but nothing seemed to work.
It wasn’t until recently,when science and scientific institutions were being attacked for unfair reasons during the pandemic,that I decided I must speak out.Science has made this country a place where dreams come true—this is why we all need to protect science.In addition,as a science writer,I try to get readers to understand how science is related to their daily lives.
So I ended up on that frightening stage on that sunny Saturday in April—Earth Day.Despite the body shakes and fear,I persevered.That day,I looked out into the crowd of like-minded science supporters and I felt comfort.
Reaching that milestone goal of getting through a speech truly changed me.At almost forty,I learned that passion can set off a flame in my heart to do things I never dreamed possible.The darkness that led to my speech is sure to lead to new opportunities and adventures.

Darwin noted that some human emotional expressions might have started as part of a physiological(
生理的) function:for example,exposing the teeth to bite food.The function,however,took on meaning and became a
form of communication which signals anger.
The same may be true for the animals.Baby monkeys cry for attention.They also cry to signal to an adult that they want to be carried.
“Chimpanzees do make upset voice when they are being weaned(断奶)by their mothers or have lost their mothers or another individual,”says Anne Pusey,a professor at the University of Minnesota.“They whimper(呜咽)and cry and scream.When we hear these calls,the emotion involved seems obvious.However,they do not weep in the sense of producing tears.I have seen an adolescent male whimpering when he lost sight of his older brother with whom he had been traveling.”
Babies of many mammalian species,including rats,cry.Moreover,when a baby rat cries,often his mother brings the fallen pup back into the nest.This is probably a straightforward communication,as it is with humans. However,psychologists at the University of Iowa aren’t convinced.
The Iowan researchers can cause the same crying sounds by producing large decreases and then in
creases in blood flow.The blood flow also goes down when baby rats get cold.Thus,they conclude baby rats cry in the same way that we sneeze.Of course the rat baby could be crying because he’s cold and wants his mother to know.
“All young mammals make cries when separated from their mother,”says Jaak Panksepp,a psychologist at Bowling Green State University.“If you’re willing to call this crying,then certainly other animals show this emotional response.”he says,“Some of us take seriously that animals do have emotions.”
28.According to the first paragraph,what kind of emotion does“exposing the teeth”express?
A.Disappointment.
B.Excitement.
C.Anger.
D.Happiness.
29.Which is one probable reason why young chimpanzees might be crying?
A.They meet their brother.
B.They have nothing to eat.
C.They are being breast-fed.
D.They are parted from their mother.
30.Under what circumstance will baby rats cry just like humans’sneeze?
A.Their blood flow is decreased.
B.They feel cold and long for affection.
C.Their blood flow is increased.
D.Their mother brings them back home.
31.Where is the passage most likely taken from?
A.An animal journal.
submitting
B.A physiology book.
C.A health magazine.
D.A cultural newspaper.

Lichens(地衣)
Lichens look like splashes of paint left behind by a careless painter.Unlike many plants,they do not require soil to grow.They grow on trunk of trees in steaming tropical rain forests,on farmers’fenceposts,on the bricks of big-city buildings,and on old gravestones.Lichens can tolerate extremes of climate.They grow on rocks in hot springs,on wind-swept mountaintops,and on stones in the driest deserts.In the Arctic,lichens are the principal source of food for reindeer.Whole mountainsides in Antarctica appear green and orange because of the presence of lichens;they are one of the few plants that can survive there.They are among the oldest of known plants. Recently,scientists discovered lichen fossils on a rock in a mine in southwest China that date back600million years.
When conditions become harsh,lichens become dormant(休眠).If there is not enough moisture,they simply dry up,but a short rain or even a heavy dew gives them new life.When growing on rock surfaces,lichens produce acids that dissolve(溶解)the minerals,contributing to the process of weathering by which rocks are slowly turned to soil.This property enables lichens to be pioneers.They appear on barren rock rubbed clean by glaciers,fires, lava flows,or floods,beginning the process of soil formation that allows mosses(苔藓)and other plants to later take root.But,despite their hardiness,lichens are extremely sensitive to airborne particles(颗粒).That’s why they serve as an early warning system for air pollution.
It is the acids lichens produce that give them their distinctive colors.Lichens are often spoken of in the same breath as mosses,and some lichens are even called mosses,but true mosses are all distinctively green,whereas
lichens appear in many vivid colors.At one time,acids from lichens were used to make dyes,such as the purple dye,the blue dye,and the red dye,and they are sometimes still used that way today.Some lichens,such as oakmoss,contain oils that produce fragrant odors used in scented soaps,cosmetics and perfumes.Some lichens are also known to have antibiotic properties to kill bacteria.
So definite are the form,color,and characteristics of these organisms that for hundreds of years lichens were constantly under scientists’microscope.
32.What characteristic of lichens is mainly talked about in paragraph1?
A.They grow only on rock surfaces.
B.They live primarily in cold places.
C.They have adapted to a wide variety of environments.
D.They live in remote locations far from human communities.
33.The author refer to lichens as pioneers in paragraph2because they__________.
A.have their primitive structure
C.are found in remote parts of the world
D.develop so early in the history of the planet
34.According to paragraph3,humans use lichens in the following ways EXCEPT__________.
A.as a means of coloring clothing
B.as a type of medicine
C.as a source of food
D.as an ingredient in perfume
35.Which of the following cases would be probably dealt with in the next paragraph?
A.Lichens are important in Canada because of their abundance in the north.
B.Extracts of lichens were sold as herbal medicines to facilitate hair growth.
C.Glacier Park’s vast array of lichens indicate relatively good air quality.
D.A German botanist first found lichens are composed of two life forms.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Healthy See,Healthy Do
Visit the grocery store on an empty stomach,and you will probably come home with a few things you did not plan to buy.But hunger is not the only cause of additional purchases.36
The checkout area is a particular hotspot for junk food.37And a few studies have suggested that simply swapping in healthier options can change customer behavior.A2012study in the Netherlands found that hospital workers were more likely to give up junk food for healthy snacks when the latter were more readily available on canteen shelves,for example.
38It has been working with more than1,000store owners to encourage them to order and promote nutritious foods.“Making healthy foods more convenient or appealing can lead to increased sales of those products.”says Tamar Adjoian,a research scientist at the department.
Adjoian and her colleagues wondered if such findings would apply to their city’s crowded urban checkout areas,so they selected three Bronx supermarkets for their own study.39Then they recorded purchases over six three-hour periods in each store for two weeks.
Of the more than2,100shoppers they observed,just4percent bought anything from the checkout area. Among those who did,however,customers in the healthy lines purchased nutritious foods more than twice as often as those in the standard lines.40The findings were reported in September in the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior.
The potential influence may seem small,but Adjoian believes that changing more checkout lines will open customers’eyes to nutritious,lower-calorie foods.Health department officials are now exploring ways to expand healthy options at checkout counters throughout New York City.
A.They bought unhealthy foods40percent less often.
B.These findings caught the attention of New York City Department of Health.
