第二部分 阅读理解（满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
21．（6分）In our life,they are two different types of dreamer，一low-recall dreamers and high-recall dreamers. According to researchers at the Lyon Nero-science Research Center in France, high-recall dreamers reported they remembered their dreams almost every day while low-recall dreamers said they only remembered their dreams once or twice a month, reported Live Science.
Perrine Ruby,a lead scientist at the research center in Lyon, studied 41 people (21 high-recall dreamers and 20 low-recall dreamers) and recorded their brain activity. She found that a part of the brain called the temporo-parietal junction ( 颞顶叶交界处）was more active in high-recall dreamers. This was true both when they were sleeping and awake. This area of the brain is responsible for collecting and processing information from the outside world. This means that high-recall dreamers are more sensitive to what is happening around them. For example, when they are awake, they respond more strongly to hearing their own names. When they are sleeping, they tend to be woken up more easily by sounds and movements.
By closely studying people’s brain activity, Ruby found that high-recall dreamers have twice as much “wakefulness time” during sleep as low-recall dreamers do. And it is during these short periods of wakefulness that the brain memorizes dreams.
This is not hard to understand. Just try to think of your own sleeping experience. If you are restless during the night, you are more likely to remember your dreams, but if you sleep well and soundly, you tend to remember very little in the morning. This is because “you never get a chance to remember”, Robert Stickgold, a Harvard Medical School researcher, told The Washington Post.
As another research project at the University of Turku in Finland showed, dream content can also affect our memory. Negative dreams are easier to recall than ordinary dreams. Nightmares are often recalled because they are emotionally negative, and such dreams cause fear.
1、What can we know about high-recall dreamers according to the article?
A．They have very little brain activity when they sleep.
B．They can remember their dreams clearly.
C．They don’t know how to describe their dreams.
D．They can’t remember their dreams.
2、Which is true about low-recall dreamers compared to high-recall dreamers?
A．They have higher quality sleep.
B．They have more sleepless nights
C．They are more easily woken at night.
D．They respond faster when hearing their names.
3、What is the main purpose of the second to last paragraph?
A．To explain Ruby’s findings.
B．To attract readers, interest in future studies.
C．To show the advantages of being a low-recall dreamer.
D．To suggest what to do to become a low-recall dreamer.
4、What did the research project in Finland find?
A．Ordinary dreams can help our brain rest.
B．Dreams are often affected by our emotions.
C．Nightmares often happen when we don't sleep well.
D．Negative dreams are more likely to be recalled.

23．（8分） For the first time ever scientists prepare to set about a 3-year-long project，the Nekton Mission，to explore the Indian Ocean and document changes taking place beneath the waves that could affect the surrounding region over the coming decades.
The ambitious exploration team will reach one of the last major unexplored frontiers on the planet，a vast body of water that’s already feeling the effects of global warming with rising water temperatures damaging its coral reefs(珊瑚礁).Understanding the Indian Ocean’s ecosystem is important not just for the species that live in it，but also for the 2.5 billion people living in the region.
The Nekton Mission is supported by more than 40 organizations.Researchers will spend seven weeks surveying underwater life，map the sea floor，and drop sensors(传感器)to depths of up to 6，560 feet in the seas around the Seychelles.
The Seychelles aims to become a leader in the development of a“blue economy”that draws on the resources of the ocean.It relies on fishing and tourism，but has lately also been exploiting oil and gas from beneath the sea floor.“Our ocean is undergoing rapid ecological transformation by human activities.The Nekton Mission is vital to help us better know our ocean space and resources to make wise decisions.Only when we know what we have in the ocean and what is its value call we properly decide what to exploit and what to leave untouched，”said Jumeau，the Seychelles’ambassador to the UN.
The mission will conduct further dives in other parts of the Indian Ocean over three years.The researchers expect to discover new species and send videos to the world by satellite.The research will provide information for a summit(峰会)about the Indian Ocean planned for late 2021.
1、Why do the scientists plan to explore the Indian Ocean?
A．To save the endangered creatures living in the sea.
B．To discover the damage mankind has done to the ocean.
C．To make the best use of the natural resources in the sea.
D．To protect its species and people living around the region.
2、Which is not included in the tasks to be carried out around the Seychelles?
A．Drawing maps of the sea floor. B．Finding treasures under the sea.
C．Putting sensors into the deep sea. D．Studying underwater life.
3、What can be learned about the Nek-ton Mission?
A．It will extend beyond the Indian Ocean.
B．It will benefit a lot from“blue economy”.
C．It will contribute to the 2021 conference.
D．It will find solutions to global warming.
4、What can be a suitable title fur the text?
A．Scientists Are to Explore the Indian Ocean
B．The Seychelles Aims to Build a“Blue Economy”
C．Effects of Global Warming on Marine Ecosystem
D．Indian Ocean:the Last Unexplored Frontier on the Planet
24．（8分） Babies have an astonishing talent that adults entirely lose. By the age of one, they can recognise the significant noises around them and group them into a language. When we have lost this capacity as adults, it becomes enormously difficult to distinguish between sounds that are glaringly different to a native speaker. It all sounds Greek to us. This is because the range of possible sounds that humans use to convey meaning may be as high as 2,000, but few languages use more than 100 and even then the significant noises－the phonemes (音素) of a language－each cover a range of sounds and so vague distinctions which would change the meaning of a word in other languages.
But where do these phonemes come from and why do they shift over time? New research suggests that the apparently arbitrary distribution of some sounds around the world may be partially explained by diet. This is unexpected. We’d rather think of language as product of our thought, rather than of the arrangement of our teeth. In reality, though, any given language must be both.
Hunter gatherer languages very seldom use the sounds known as labiodentals (唇齿音)－those such as f and v－that are made by touching the lower lip with the upper teeth. Only two of the hundreds of Australian aboriginal languages use them, for example. But in cultures that have discovered farming, these consonants (辅音) are much more common. The argument goes that farmers eat more cooked food and more dairy than hunter gatherers. Either way, they need to chew mush less, and to bite less with their front teeth. So farmers grew up with smaller lower jaws and more of an overbite than their ancestors who had to bite through harder foods. It became easier for them to make the labiodental consonants instead of purely labial (唇音) ones: one example is that f come to take the place of p. Romans said “pater” but English speakers (unless they’re Rees－Moggs) say “father”.
Beyond these particular changes, the story highlights the way in which everything distinctively human is both material and spiritual: speech must combine sound and meaning, and the meaning can ’t exist or be transmitted without a real object. But neither can it be reduced to the purely physical, as our inability to understand or even to recognise foreign languages makes clear. The food we eat shapes our jaws, and our jaws in turn shape the sounds of our language. The ease with which we eat probably shapes our thought too, as anyone who has suffered toothache could testify. What we eat may have shaped the sounds of our language, but how we eat changes how we feel and what we use language to express. A family meal is very different from a sandwich at the office desk, even if the calorie is the same. Food has purposes and meanings far beyond keeping us alive and pleasing the Palate (味觉).

A．jaws help shape our thought
B．food determines our thought
C．diet has some influence on language

25．（10分）Persuasion is the art of convincing someone to agree with you. According to the ancient Greeks，there are three basic tools of persuasion：ethos，pathos，and logos.
