21、Known for its Terracotta Warriors, the ancient Chinese city of Xi’an in Shaanxi Province is also a city with delicious food. Here are some of them.
Yangrou paomo
Yangrou paomo, or pita bread soaked in lamb soup, is another signature food of Xi an. The main ingredient in this mouth-watering dish is mutton and pita bread. The hard bread is torn into small pieces and added to a bowl, then topped with stewed and sliced mutton, scallion, coriander and chili, and then the soup is poured over all of it.
Biangbiang noodles
Biangbiartg noodles(stewed-pork hand-ripped noodles) are thick, fat and long. Each noodle is three fingers wide, spiraling down into a big bowl. It is served dry, with toppings of chili and pork belly in alternating layers of fat and lean meat. Biangbiang noodles are famous not only for their distinctive taste, but also for the name, the character of which is so complicated that many Chinese don’t know how to write it. Biang refers to the sound chefs make when they pull the dough into noodles and bang them against the table.
Dumpling
A visit to Xi’an is not complete unless you try the dumplings. They are made in different shapes, colors and flavors—sour, sweet or peppery. The dumplings have different fillings. Cooking methods have also expanded, from boiling to frying.
Rougamo
Ancient Chinese called it “Rou jia yu mo zhong”, which means the meat is inside the bun（a kind of small bread）. The most important part of “Rougamo” is the special sauce meat. According to the history record, “Rougamo” first found in book is in Qin Dynasty, which was called “Hanmo”. “Rougamo” is not only a sign of the ancient city, but also a sign of Chinese traditional foods.

22、Lakes, ponds, and beaches mean summer fun and cool relaxation from hot weather．But water also can be dangerous for kids if you don't take great care．Nearly 1,000 kids die each year by drowning．Here are some tips to keep your kids safe in the water:
At the Lake or Pond
●Don't let little kids swim alone without adult supervision— lakes or ponds may be shallow near the bank and are suddenly deep sharply further out from shore．
●Ponds and lakes may hide sharp rocks, broken glass, or rubbish．
●Make sure kids wear foot protection; even in the water, they should wear socks or water shoes．
●Watch out for weeds and grass in the water that could trap a leg or arm．
●Most boating accidents, particularly among teenagers, are related to alcohol．Be sure teens know about the dangers of alcohol, on and off the water．
At the Beach
●Teach kids to always swim when and where a lifeguard is on duty．Unlike the calm waters of a swimming pool, the beach has special dangers like currents and tides．Check with the lifeguard when you arrive to find out about the water conditions．
●Tell kids never to stand with their back to the water because a sudden wave can easily knock a child over．
●Teach kids that if they're caught in a dangerous wave, they should swim to the shore or should tread water and call for a lifeguard's help．
Whether at the lake or at the beach, teach your child to get out of the water during bad weather, especially lightning．
【1】Which is the right behavior when swimming at the beach? ________
A. Go off the water without a lifeguard on duty.
B. Go on swimming in a heavy rain.
C. Call for help if caught in a dangerous wave.
D. Go off the water before checking the water conditions.
【2】Swimming at a beach is more dangerous than in a pool because ________.
A. there are currents and tides at a beach
B. there are no lifeguards at a beach
C. the waters of a beach are more calm
D. the waters of a pool are warmer

23、 The Notre Dame (巴黎圣母院) fire has been put out, but its spire (尖顶) and a large portion of its wooden roof have been damaged. The terrible destruction causes a sudden sharp pain to people around the world. “What a pity that we cannot see the damaged parts of the wonder anymore.”
But the good news is that there is at least one way of seeing them, namely through a video game called Assassin’s Creed: Unity. In this game, the player can travel to one city after another and enter the buildings exactly like what they are in reality, and see Notre Dame as it was before the fire. Further, with virtual reality technology, which is already quite mature, one can even look around the undamaged Notre Dame as if it is still there. Maybe digital technology could help to better protect architectural cultural heritage.
The idea of making digital models of ancient buildings to save their data dates back to the 1990s and the necessary technology has continued to advance since then. By scanning the ancient buildings with lasers, building 3D models with multiple images, as well as measuring everything precisely, engineers can make a copy as accurate as the real one.
As computers and smartphones are hugely popular, the digital model has great useful value. First, it allows tourists to feel the cultural relics without touching them. The virtual tour of Dunhuang Grottoes in Gansu Province is a good example of this as tourists can view the paintings without standing near them. Furthermore, it can make the digitized cultural relics more famous by spreading awareness about them via the Internet. In 2000, a virtual tour of the Great Wall became very popular at the Hannover World Expo, which increased the number of foreign tourists visiting the site in the following years. Above all, it preserves all the information of the cultural relics.
Of course, however precise a model is, it is not the original. Maybe we will have better technologies in the future, but the digital technology offers a practical way to preserve architectural cultural heritage at the moment.
【1】What can we see about Notre Dame in the game?
A.The damaged Notre Dame. B.Its wooden shape.
C.The big fire. D.Its original look.
【2】What will engineers do to create a digital copy of the ancient buildings?
A.Build 3D models of full size. B.Scan the photos of the buildings
C.Measure all the parts exactly. D.Improve the technology needed.
【3】How does the author prove the digital copy has vital practical importance?
A.By giving examples. B.By classification.
C.By comparison. D.By listing data.
【4】What is the author’s attitude towards the application of the technology?
A.Delighted B.Supportive
C.Doubtful D.Conservative
24、 It has long been known that several chemicals used in plastic toys can be harmful to human health. However, it is difficult for parents to figure out how to avoid plastic toys containing chemicals that may cause possible health risks to their children. For the most part, regulations and international lists of “chemicals of concern” in toys focus on certain substance groups with known harmful properties, but do not cover the wider range of chemicals found in plastic toys.
Researchers from DTU and the University of Michigan together with UN Environment have looked into this important issue, analyzed data on chemical functions and amounts found in plastic toys, and quantified related children exposure and potential health risks. “Out of 419 chemicals found in hard, soft and foam plastic materials used in children toys, we identified 126 substances that can potentially harm children’s health either via cancer or non-cancer effects. These substances should be avoided in toy materials and replaced with safer and more sustainable alternatives,” says Peter Fantke, Professor at DTU Management.
Many lists have existed that inform about “chemicals of concern” across product and material applications. However, what is currently missing is any information about the levels at which the use of chemicals in the different applications would be safe and sustainable. Peter Fantke explains, “Since the same chemicals can be found in different concentrations across toy materials, we have estimated the ‘maximum acceptable chemical content (MACC)’ for all the substances reported to be found in plastic toys. Such information will help toy companies to evaluate the amount of chemicals used for a specific function against such standards.”
For parents, it will continue to be difficult to avoid using plastic toys that can contain harmful chemicals, until regulators include all substances, and address exposure to toys. A good piece of advice from the researchers is hence to reduce the consumption of plastic materials in general, avoid the use of soft plastic toys, and remember to allow fresh air to enter and move around your children’s rooms well every day.
【1】What do we know about the harmful chemicals in toys?
A．They may lead to cancer.
B．The y add up to 419 kinds.
C．They exist in all plastic toys.
D．They’ve all been discovered.
【2】What is the current concern of researchers?
A．Toy companies are not responsible enough.
B．The use of chemicals are not safe and sustainable.
C．The safe level of chemicals used in toys is uncertain.
D．Practical measures haven’t been taken by the authority.
【3】How could parents do to deal with the issue of plastic toys?
A．Stop using plastic toys.
B．Guarantee fresh room air.
C．Address exposure to toys.
D．Do research on chemicals in toys.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title of the text?
A．Stop Purchasing Plastic Toys
B．Potentially Harmful Chemicals Found in Plastic Toys
C．Negative Impacts Plastic Toys Have on Children
D．How to Keep Your Children Healthy

26、阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成 一篇完整的短文。
I yawned (打哈欠)as I got off the last step of the bus. I had woken early that morning, and had not been able to sleep on the long ride from Riverside High, thinking about that day’s race, the Eye Opener. I had never raced in a state-wide race before. Over thirty high school teams ran, along with quite a few colleges. The rest of my team and I unloaded the bus, and we relaxed and waited for our race patiently.
“Start warming up,” our coach told us, roughly forty-five minutes after we arrived. After finishing our stretches, we headed over to the starting line, eager for the race to begin.
The starter walked to the middle of the field. “There will be two commands,” his voice boomed, ‘‘Runners set, then the gun. If you hear another shot, return to the starting line to start again. ” My heart raced as I got my legs ready to race.
“Runners set!” the starter shouted Bam! The gun fired, and he rushed out of our way. Adrenaline (肾上腺素)rushed through my body as I raced through the mass of runners. As I rounded the first turn, my schoolmates greeted me with heartening shouts. Then, in what felt like only one minute, I arrived at the one mile mark.
“6’10”, a man declared as I ran by. I tried to ignore him, but my legs began to bum as I realized I had run a mile and still had two to go. I slowed down my pace, for I knew the second mile was the worst of all three. Minutes later, I felt horrible. My legs ached, feeling like lead blocks. My vision was clouded as sweat dropped down into my eyes, and my arms felt as if they would fall off if I swung them one more time. Just as I almost reached my limit, a boy passed me. He also seemed to have lost strength but soon he was a little ahead of me.
