19、 kitchen. With my children down for a nap, I hurried to answer before they were all awakened. We had just moved here and I couldnt imagine who it would be. I opened the door and a crack revealed an old man dressed in dirty clothing.“Can I help you?” I asked, hoping he had the wrong address.“Would yo
20、u like to buy some fresh garden vegetables?” His voice was trembling but his eyes were hopeful. I wondered if he badly needed the bit of money he was asking for his produce. “Im Mr. Locket living around the corner. My wife passed away and my children live far away,” he added. Later we knew that the
21、need for companionship had sent him door to door by means of selling fruits and vegetables and ours was the only door opened to him.As days went on, Mr. Locket became a daily visitor. Every day he read books in our big chair with my children curled up on his lap. When they took an afternoon nap, he
22、would rest his head on the back of the chair. In his quiet and gentle way, he endeared himself to each child. Gradually the name “Grandpa Locket” slipped into our conversations.Three years later, we had to move to Ontario. He arrived as usual that morning. “Mr. Locket,” I tried to break the news in
23、a gentle way, “Youve become a treasured part of this family, but” Tears glistened in the corners of his eyes.“I promise to keep in touch with you and” My throat tightened. He nodded and softly said, “Thank you for all your kindness to an old man. When I needed a family, you included me.” With tears,
24、 we all hugged him tightly.About a year later, a small envelope from Mr. Lockets daughter was delivered to our home. She informed us that our dear old friend had died. “Im so grateful for your loving care for my father,” she wrote, “I can see how much you meant to him, too.” Actually were also grate

28、 an end.CYou may have recently seen a video from the Beijing Wildlife Zoo becoming a hit. What exactly was so interesting about this video? It shows a dog playing with big cats four to five times its size! Many people might wonder if this dog has a death wish, but it seems that the dog and the big c
29、ats are good friends.The dog was actually raised alongside the lion and tiger cubs, making up an odd but loving family, according to zoo officials. As opposed to the common belief, cross-species friendship has been around for centuries. People have domesticated many animals, most notably cats and do
30、gs, and formed bonds with them as pets. Perhaps you even have a pet yourself.There are many other instances of cross-species friendships.At an animal sanctuary in Santiago, Chile, a jaguar named Marina and a deer named Laura formed a friendship after they both came to the park. As neither animal had
31、 a mother, sanctuary staff said they instantly bonded when they met. Laura had been rescued from a slaughterhouse while Marina had been rescued from the street.One possible explanation for these friendships is the environment of the zoo. Animals dont hunt for their food and dont need to worry about
32、marking their territory or looking for mates in the way an animal in the wild would. “All those activities take time and energy, and if these needs are removed, the animals get bored,” Gordon Burghardt, a psychologist at the University of Tenessee, US, told The Atlantic magazine. “In this particular
33、 situation, the animals motivation to engage socially and playfully may be higher in its need hierarchy(等级)than eating.”Marc Bekoff, former biology professor at the University of Colorado, US, told Slate magazine, “I think the choices animals make in cross-species relationships are the same as theyd
34、 make in same-species relationships. Some dogs dont like every other dog. Animals are very selective about the other individuals who they let into their lives.”8 What is the common opinion about the friendship between animals?A. Its easier for dogs and cats to become friends.B. Animals tend to play
35、with peers of the same species.C. The friendship between animals is not solid and reliable.D. Its common that animals of different species can become friends.9. Why are Marina and Laura mentioned in paragraph 4?A. To present a truth.B. To explain a phenomenon.C. To introduce the topic.D. To provide
36、a proof.10. Whats the key factor of the animals friendship in the zoo according to Gordon Burghardt?A. The existing tradition.B. The influence by mates.C. The animals inner social drive.D. The animals raisers instruction.11 Whats the purpose of the passage?A. To appeal to people to treasure animals.
37、B. To inform readers of a special friendship.C. To demonstrate the history of bringing up pets.D. To compare friendship between cross-species and same-species.DLiving robots can reproduce on their own in a dish. This is not a science-fiction movie, but the result of a new research. The study was pub
38、lished in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences in the US on Nov 29.Xenobots, a type of tiny robot, were first created in 2020, using cells taken from the embryo of an African frog species. Under the right lab conditions, the cells formed small structures that could self-assemble, move
39、 in groups and react to their environment. Now, the researchers have found that xenobots can also self-replicate (自我复制), according to the journal of New Scientist.But are they living organisms or robots? They are organisms because they are made of stem cells and can reproduce. And they are also robo
40、ts because they can move on their own and perform physical labor, co-author Sam Kriegman told The Washington Post.“People have thought for quite a long time that weve worked out all the ways that life can reproduce or replicate. But this is something thats never been observed before,” co-author Doug
41、las Blackiston, a senior scientist at Tufts University in the US, told Science Daily website.The ability to replicate adds a new layer of potential utility to the robots. Kriegman told The Washington Post that while xenobots are not yet commercially useful, they have the potential to provide a numbe
42、r of services, from cleaning up microplastics in the ocean to safely delivering drugs to a specific spot in a persons body.However, the creation of xenobots comes with concerns. Some think more advanced future xenobots, especially ones that live longer and reproduce, could out-compete other species,
43、 according to The Conversation, an Australia news media.The researchers think these risks are manageable. “If you change the amount of sodium in that water to be too high or too low, theyll die,” Kriegman told The Washington Post. “If theres a piece of copper in the dish, theyll all die. Its an extr
44、emely controllable and stoppable and safe system.”12. What do we know about xenobots according to the passage?A. They should be classified into frog species.B. They can reproduce and replicate themselves.C. They can adapt to the environment anywhere.D. They were created based on science fiction movi
45、es.13. How do scientists feel the way that xenobots reproduce?A. Unexpected.B. Predictable.C. Doubted.D. Unaccepted.14. What effects do xenonots have on humans?A. They are expected to replace other species.B. They have been used widely commercially.C. They will serve human beings more extensively.D.
46、 They will further explore their own potential ability.15. Whats Kriegmans attitude towards the xenobots future?A. Worried.B. Cautious.C. Neutral.D. Optimistic.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。Anyone who deals with teens knows how tough the adolescent years can be.
47、Teens are always known to do wild and dangerous things. _16_. But now scientists have studied the physical development of the brain in more detail, leading to a new theory of why teens act the way they do.Scientists discovered that though our brains are almost at their full size by the age of six, they are not fully developed. Now, scientists have found our brains continue to change till age 25. _17_.The studies confirm teens are more likely to take risks and behave in extreme ways. One way the brain does this is by changing the way teens think of danger and reward. When teenagers think about
