Unlike many other penguins (企鹅), African penguins do not live in the coldest areas of the earth, but on warm sunny coasts of South Africa. They are the first penguin species (物种) discovered by humans.
African penguins grow to 60—70cm tall and weigh 3—4kg. They have pink patches above their eyes. Blood (血液) is sent to these patches to be cooled by the outside air. The hotter the weather gets, the pinker the patches appear. Each African penguin has a unique pattern of black spots (斑点) on the white chest.

During this time, they can’t hunt because their new feathers are not yet waterproof (防水的). Without food, they lose nearly half of their body weight.
African penguins live in groups called colonies. They can live for 10—15 years in the wild, but those in protected environments can live for up to 30 years.

It’s all about the muscles, so exercising the expressive facial muscles is the most important thing.”
Interestingly, smiling classes have been part of Japanese culture for several tens of years, and they have become popular again after the lockdown was ended.

【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据“They take special classes where they are taught how to exercise different parts of their faces and even their neck muscles (肌肉) to smile properly and express happiness without looking strange.”可知,如果日本人参加这些课程,他们会锻炼面部肌肉。故选C。
【22题详解】
词句猜测题。根据“Even if you’re thinking about smiling or that you’re happy, if you have no expression, it won’t reach the person you communicate with.”可知,即使你在想笑,或者说你很开心,如果你没有表情,它就不会传达给与你交流的人。也即是与你交谈的人,不会知道你快乐。故选A。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。根据“Actually, improving your smile is just like training the other parts of your body. It’s all about the muscles, so exercising the expressive facial muscles is the most important thing”可知,Miho Kitano可能同意肌肉锻炼可以帮助人们拥有自然的微笑。故选D。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据“Interestingly, smiling classes have been part of Japanese culture for several tens of years, and they have become popular again after the lockdown was ended.”可知,几十年来,微笑课一直是日本文化的一部分,在封锁结束后,它们再次流行起来,由此可知,这些课程对日本人来说其实并不新鲜。故选A。
【25题详解】
最佳标题题。根据“After wearing masks in public for three years, many Japanese are taking classes to learn how to smile again.”可知,短文主要讲述了日本人在公共场合戴口罩三年后,许多人开始上课学习如何重新微笑。故最佳标题应为:日本人向教练学习微笑。故选B。
