AFor a herder(放牧人)in Africa, the hardest part of the job is searching for cattle lost in the bush. But for Andrew, a herder at a farm in Zimbabwe, it’s not a problem. Once he spots Toro, he knows the rest of the herd is nearby. That’s because Toro isn’t an ordinary member of the herd. He’s a giraffe. In hot weather, cattle rest in the shade under his belly. And because of his height, Toro can spot lions long before they come close to the herd.Toro’s unusual situation came about after his mother was killed by lions. Toro survived the attack, but he was left with no one to protect him or give him milk. About two days later, some herders spotted and rescued him. With the permission of the Department of Wildlife, the herders moved Toro to Andrew’s farm. Since giraffes and cattle are both plant-eating animals that live in groups, their behaviors are much the same. Toro was accepted into the herd and wandered among the cattle as they ate grass.Toro doesn’t always behave like the other members of his new herd. Like many kinds of animals, cattle compete for dominance (支配). Standing more than 13 feet tall, Toro is more than three times taller than the biggest bull, But Toro never tries to be “the boss.” He is very used to their company,” Andrew said. When the herd enters the kraal (家畜栏), the cows and bulls push each other. “But thanks to his height, Toro does not need to join the mess,” said Andrew.When asked if Toro would ever be returned to the wild, Munetsi, an officer of the Department of Wildlife said no. “In the wild, he would find it difficult to be accepted into another herd or defend himself from predators (猎食者),”he added. “He seems very much at home and is respected by the cattle.”21. What was Toro like when the herders found him?A. He was left alone.B. He was seriously ill.C. He was lost in the bush.D. He was fighting with lions.22. What do we know about Toro in the cattle herd?A. He has fought to be the leader.B. He gets along well with the herd.C. He is pushed around by the bulls.D. He stays away from the herd most of the time23. What will happen to Toro according to Munetsi?A. He will be sent back to the wild.B. He will be put into another herd of giraffes.C. He will continue to live together with Andrew.D. He will be trained to fight with the big animals.24. What may be the best title for the text?A Giraffes under threat in the wildB. A surprising new family for a giraffeC. A new way of herding appearing in AfricaD Moments showing friendship between animalsBA group of university professors recently created a scanner they believe can predict the perfect job for anyone---simply by looking at their fingerprints. The group says that in the future, fingerprints could help tell a person’s key personalities.To use the scanner, people place their fingers upon the fingerprint reader and computer technology connected to sensors reads back what sort of work would suit the individual (个人).The machine bases its results on a collection of a large amount of information in the computer about how fingerprint shapes connect to job selection.Local companies help researchers from the city’s Kuban University of Physical Education and Sport to test the technology.Twenty-one-year-old Oscar Galkin, a mathematics graduate, said, “I got the result from the scanner that I would be suited to a job in IT, which is exactly what I want to do. I don’t know if it is luck or if it can really read a person’s talents, but it worked for me.”And Zara Tokareva, aged 20, who feels uncomfortable at the sight of blood, said, “I wa nt to be a house designer but the machine said. I should be a nurse. So, no, I don’t think it is as clever as is being made out.”Though fingerprint identification has been widely used in crime discovering, it is still a science that has a lot of possibility of being used, say experts, from discovering drug misuse to personality analysis---exactly as hand readers have been saying to do for centuries.“The basic idea is that although everybody’s fingerprints are completely different, there are obvious features that are common on the fingers of certain professionals working in certain jobs.” Said researcher Ravil Yudin.“It’s not really a new idea because hand readers have been saying for hundreds of years that you can tell a person’s future by reading their h ands. We want to match that by looking at fingerprints and trying to tell what career path people would choose.”25. It can be inferred from the 6th paragraph that the fingerprint scanner ________.A. has been used in job huntingB. is popular with young menC. helps companies a lotD. needs to be improved26. What can we learn from what Ravil Yudin said?A. The fingerprint scanner is based on a new idea.B. Certain people’s fingers actually have something in common.C. Telling one’s future by reading his hands started a few years ago.D The technology of fingerprint identification can be used in many fields.27. The text is written to ________.A. tell the future of hand readersB show the features of fingerprintsC. introduce a technical productD. help job hunters understand themselves wellCRecent findings have shown that our appetite and food intake are influenced by a large number of factors besides our biological need for energy, including our eating environment and our perception (感知) of the food in front of us. A new study suggested that our short-term memory may also play a role in appetite. Several hours after a meal, people’s hunger levels were predicted not by how much they’d eaten but rather by how much food they’d seen in front of them—in other words, how much they remembered eating.This difference suggests the memory of our previous meal may have a bigger influence on our appetite than the actual size of the meal, says Jeffrey M. Brunstrom, a professor of experimental psychology at the University ofBristol.“Hunger isn’t controlled merely by the physical characteristics of a recent meal. We have identified an independent role for memory for that meal,” Brunstrom says. “This shows that the relationship between hunger and food intake is more complex than we thought.”These findings echo earlier research that suggests our perceptions of food can sometimes trick our body’s response to the food itself. In a 2016 study, for instance, people who drank the same 380-calorie milkshake on two separate occasions produced different levels of hunger-related hormones (荷尔蒙), depending on whether the shake’s label said it contained 620 or 140 calories. Moreover, the participants reported feeling more full when they thought they’d con sumed a higher-calorie shake.28. What affects our appetite according to the new study?A. How much we remember eating.B. What time we eat our last meal.C. How much we eat our last meal.D. What ingredients the food contains.29. Thy underlined word “echo” in the last paragraph means ________ in Chinese.A. 暗示B. 反映C. 印证D. 改善30. What is the main idea of the text?A. Good eating habits contribute to our health.B. Eating speed often affects our food digestion.C. Psychological factors influence our hunger levels.D. Our biological need for energy determines our food intake.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）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。
