border（边界），but there is no evidence to suggest this is the same tiger or that it had lost its way from Russia.Wherever it may have come from,cross-border protection of endangered species is a problem.According to Ma Jianzhang,a senior wild animal researcher in China,tigers know no borders,which have been built to stop humans from illegally crossing over.However,these borders also stop the free movement of tigers,thus preventing their breeding（繁殖）and exchange of genes.The Sino-Russian border alsocomes in the way ofprotecting tigers in the region.Data show about 500 to 550 Siberian tigers,or over 90 percent of the species,live in the wild in Russia;27 live in the wild in China,and 50 inthe border region.Sometimes tigers lose their way across the border and that is hindering（妨碍）efforts to stop illegal hunting and protecting them.Fortunately,both China and Russia have realized this problem and are working toward solving it.As early as 2010,the two countries established a cross-border protection network aimed at strengthening communication on protecting tigers in the northeast.The countries have also held anti-poaching（反偷猎）activities together.In 2019,two national parks from the two countries signed a three-year deal to share research data on tigers,greatly improving the living conditions of Siberian tigers in the wild.However,much more needs to be done to protect the species.It is necessary to combine the tiger protection areas in the two countries.That will require greater efforts from both sides and some difficulties might remain even then.Fortunately,both countries have been taking effective measures to provide the endangered species a better home.4.Whats the original purpose of setting up the Sino-Russian borders?A.To ban people from illegal crossings.B.To help protect tigers in the region.C.To protect tigers from losing their way.D.To stop tigers breeding and exchange of genes.5.What does the underlined phrase“comes in the

of tiger protection.B.To cover the news about a missing tiger on the border.C.To put forward suggestions on finding the missing tiger.D.To report the problems and measures of cross-border tiger protection.C On the night of September 19,1961,Betty Hill and her husband Barney were driving home through the White Mountains from Niagara Falls.They were travelling on anearly deserted two-lane highway when Betty noticed a steady light in the sky that was getting bigger and brighter.She thought it was a planet or a star.Barney,stimulated at her excitement,said it was probably just a wandering aeroplane.Whatever it was,it appeared to be following them.They stopped their car for a closer look.What they said happened next,changed their lives.The flying object was noiseless.It appeared to be spinning.It was as big as a jet but shaped like a pancake.So formed the tale of Betty Hill,a New Hampshire social worker who,with Barney,a postal worker,claimed to be kidnapped by aliens,who were from outer space,on a moonlit night about 60 years ago.After reluctantly going public with her experience,Hill,who died of cancer at her New Hampshire home,aged 85,became a celebrity on the UFO circuit and was known as the“first lady of UFOs”.Intriguingly,at the time of the incident,the Hills remembered nothing except that they had spied a strange object in the sky.Later,troubled by nightmares and other stress-related pains,the couple underwenthypnosis(催眠)where the full story came out with the aid of Boston psychiatrist Benjamin Simon,an expert in medical hypnosis.On their night of contact the Hills arrived homeat 5 a.m.,unable to account for two lost hours.They were also confused by the odd marks on their telescopes,deep signs on the tops of Barneys best shoes,Bettys torn dress and strange circular markings on their car that made the needle of a compass jump wildly.After seeing them for six months,the psychiatrist concluded the Hills lost memory about the hours they lost on that night in 1961“appeared to involve an amazing experience on the part of both of the Hills”.Whether the experience had been fantasy or reality,Simon could not say,but he said he was convinced they had not been lying.He guessed that it had been a kind of shared dream.Reports of aliens capturing humans and taking them aboard oddly shaped spacecraft were“comparatively rare”before 1975.After a movie,“The UFO Incident”,about the Hills came out,however,such stories increased.8.When they saw the strange object in the sky,Barney and Betty Hill _.A.were astonished at its strange flight and noise B.regarded it as just a wandering car following them C.realized immediately what the danger it might cause D.showed curiosity in discovering what it really was 9.The word“Intriguingly”in paragraph 6 most probably means“_”.A.Ridiculously B.Temporarily C.Remarkably D.Mysteriously 10.The Hills later sought the help of a psychiatrist because _.A.they had lots of secrets in their lives after the strange experience B.their lives were greatly disturbed by the unexpected experience C.they wanted to share their unforgettable experience with the expert D.they hoped to forget completely what had happened to them 11.This article was written in order to _.A.describe an unusual event to the readers B.convince readers of the existence of UFOs C.record how people were caught by aliens D.warn people of the dangers the UFOs cause D Did you know people who live in different parts ofChinahave different habits and preferences?For example,people from southernChinaprefer to eat vegetables,while people from northChinalike to eat meat.According to a new study in a journal,gene variations(变异)might be responsible for these differences.Researchers fromChinas BGI collected genetic information from 141,431 Chinese women,who came from 31 provinces and consisted of 36 ethnic minority groups.They found that natural selection has played an important role in the ways that people living in different regions of China have developed,affecting their food preferences,immunities(免疫力)to illness and physical features.A variation of the gene FADS2 is more commonly found in northern people.It helps people metabolize(新陈代谢)fatty acids,which suggests a diet that is rich in flesh.This is due to climate differences.Northern Chinais at a higher latitude.This weather is difficult to grow vegetables in.Therefore,northerners tend to eat more meat.The study also found differences in the immune systems of both groups.Most people in southernChinacarry the gene CR1,which protects against malaria.Malaria was once quite common in southernChina.In order to survive,the genes of people in the south evolved to fight against this disease.However,people in the south are also more sensitive to certain illnesses,as they lack the genes to stop them.Genes can also cause physical differences between northerners and southerners.Most northerners have the ABCC11 gene,which causes dry earwax,less body smell and fewer sweats.These physical differences are also more beneficial to living in cold environments.Southerners are less likely to have this gene,as it did not develop in their population.12.What did the new study focus on?A.Regions.B.Eating habits.C.Gene variations.D.Ethnic minority groups.13.What is the main function of the gene FADS2?A.It helps store fat.B.It helps digest meat.C.It helps gain weight.D.It helps treat an illness.14.According to the study,most northerners _.A.sweat less frequently B.are immune to malaria C.prefer vegetables to meat D.are more sensitive to climates 15.How many differences did the study find related to genes?A.Two.B.Three.C.Four.D.Five.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 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 Food is a deeply
