Sometimes, however, two kinds of animals come together in a partnership which is good for both of them. You may have noticed some birds sitting on the backs of sheep. This is not because they want a ride, but because they find easy food in the parasites (寄生虫) on sheep. The sheep allow the birds to do so because they remove the cause of discomfort. So although they can manage without each other, they do better together.‎ ‎ Sometimes an animal has a plant partner. The relationship develops until the two ‎ partners cannot manage without each other. This is so in the corals (珊瑚) of the sea. In their skins they have tiny plants which act as “dustmen”, taking some of the waste products from the coral and giving in return oxygen which the animal needs to breathe. If the plants are killed, or are even prevented from receiving light so that they cannot live normally, the corals will die.‎ ‎21.

The underlined word “they” in the last sentence of the first paragraph refers to _______.‎ ‎ A. birds and parasites B. birds and sheep ‎ C. parasites and sheep D. sheep, birds and parasites ‎23. We learn from the text that corals depend on plants for _______.‎ ‎ A. comfort B. light C. food D. oxygen ‎24. What does the second paragraph mainly discuss?‎ ‎ A. Some animals and plants depend on each other for existence.‎ ‎ B. Some animals and plants develop their relationship easily.‎ ‎ C. Some plants depend on each other for food.‎ ‎ D. Some animals live better together.‎ B I have now been in Spain for 81 days. Last week, I went to watch the Christmas lights being switched on in the city centre of Santander, marking the countdown to Christmas. I will be spending my Christmas in the UK, something that I usually hate, since I don’t like spending money. However, having been in Spain for nearly three months, I have realized four things that I really miss about Christmas in the UK.‎ Advent calendars (降临节日历)‎ Although I have seen them on sale in shops here in Spain, not one of my students or friends here has bought one. Meanwhile, my friends in the UK have all been posting photos of their Advent calendars on Facebook and Instagram, celebrating the start of December. Because who doesn’t want the excuse to eat chocolate every day for a ‎ month?‎ Roast potatoes Although I do not eat them regularly in the UK, since arriving in Spain their absence has really upset me. I have realised that roast potatoes, truly the king of the Christmas roast, are really, really underrated (低估).‎ Christmas songs I really, really hate Christmas songs. But after living in the UK for 20 years, I have come to expect to hear Slade’s ‘Merry Xmas Everybody’ when I walk into any shop during December. And so now, having not heard a Christmas song in Spain, I am beginning to find that I actually miss them.‎ Being with the family When I moved to Spain, I knew that the hardest thing would be leaving my loved ones behind in the UK. However, with Christmas fast approaching, it is really hard to come back to my apartment and not hear my sister singing Christmas songs or see the Christmas tree that we have decorated together. Christmas reminds you that no amount of delicious Spanish food can replace being with your family. ‎ ‎25. What do we know about the author from the first paragraph?‎ A. The author got used to shopping in the city centre. ‎ B. The author has been in Spain for almost three months. ‎ C. The author hates being in Spain. ‎ D. The author will spend his Christmas in Spain this year. ‎ ‎26. What have the author’s friends done recently in Britain?‎ A. They have posted photos of their Advent calendars on the Internet. ‎ B. They have sent gifts to each other. ‎ C. They have been eating chocolate every day to celebrate Christmas. ‎ D. They have cooked delicious food to celebrate Christmas. ‎ ‎27. What is the hardest thing about living in Spain?‎ A. There are no roast potatoes in Spain. ‎ B. The author can’t communicate with the local people.‎ C. The author can’t hear Christmas songs during the holiday. ‎ D. The author can’t be with his family.‎ ‎28. What is the text mainly about?‎ A. Some Christmas traditions in Britain. ‎ B. The things that the author misses about Christmas in Britain.‎ C. The difficulties that the author has experienced in Spain. ‎ D. Some famous food in Spain.‎ ‎ C ‎ John was the only son of a wealthy American businessman.

Anyone who brought his sleeping bag and cooking equipment along could stay there for a very small quantity of money. The idea was a success.
