21、There is no better way to enjoy Scottish traditions than going fishing and tasting a little bit of whisky(威士忌)at a quiet place like the Inverlochy Castle. When Queen Victoria visited the castle in 1873, she wrote in her diary, “I never saw a lovelier spot ,” And she didn’t even go fishing.
Scotland is not easily defined. In certain moments, this quiet land of lakes and grasses and mountains changes before your very eyes. When evening gently sweeps the hillside into orange light ,the rivers, filling with fish, can turn into streams of gold . As you settle down with just a fishing pole and a basket on the bank of River Orchy, near the Inverlochy castle , any frustration（烦恼）will float away as gently as the circling water. It’s just you and purple , pink ,white flowers, seeking a perfect harmony . If you are a new comer to fishing, learning the basics from a fishing guide may leave you with a lifetime’s fun. For many, fishing is more than a sport; it is an art.
Scotland offers interesting place where you can rest after a long day’s fishing. Set against a wild mountain and hidden behind woodland , the beautiful Inverlochy Castle Hotel below the Nevis is a perfect place to see the beauty of Scotland’s mountains . Ben Nevis is the highest of all British mountains , and reaching its 1342-metre top is a challenge . But it’s not just what goes up that matters; what comes down is unique . More than 900 metres high, on the mountain’s north face, lies an all-important source of pure water. Its name comes form the Gaelic (盖尔特) language “usqueb” or “water of life”; And it is the single most important ingredient(原料) in Scotland’s best-known drink: whisky.
【1】How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed?

【2】What is Ben Nevis special for?
A. The Inverlochy Castle Hotel.

D. The challenge up to its top.
【3】What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To introduce Scottish traditions to tourists.
B. To show the attractions of Scotland to readers.

【4】The story of Queen Victoria is to show that _____.

22、As you get older, you'll meet a wider range of people from different cultures. Culture is an idea that isn't easy to understand. People often use the term to refer to things like food, holidays, clothing and music.【1】Religion, customs, beliefs and values are also part of your culture. So when meeting people from different backgrounds, you can sometimes find that there're huge differences in how you see the world.
【2】For example, when you meet people from a different culture, ask them about their lives. It is one of the best ways to understand the culture. But be polite about it and remember they don't owe you an answer, and might not want to give it—not everyone wants to explain everything about their culture.
Maybe you've recently met someone from a different culture you find interesting.【3】Get to know his/her families and see how their customs and traditions differ from yours. You might be surprised to find how culturally different two people living even in the same town can be!
Read books by and about people who are different from you. Reading memoirs (回忆录), biographies and other nonfiction books is an obvious way to learn about a country or someone's life.【4】Like with books, you can also watch movies to learn more about a culture. What's more, keeping yourself in a different culture through travel is also an amazing way to understand another culture.
【5】So accept and respect the differences between yourself and your friends from different cultures—remember that what is a difference to you is just their normal life!
A．Make friends with him/her.
B．But it also goes much deeper than that.
C．Show respect towards people from other cultures.
D．You may think you know a lot about a culture or place.
E．Differences between us are what makes life so interesting.
F．There are many ways to understand other people's cultures.
G．Also don't ignore novels that have been translated from other languages.
23、Based on some studies, people in their forties, on average, laugh less often each day than children under age 7 and adults over age 65. That's kind of sad for middle-aged men. If it's been awhile since your father has let out a good belly laugh, here are some ideas that you can do to get your father back on the road to joy.
A joke book can be helpful. The Dilbert series by Scott Adams is quite funny if you're into office humor. The Far Side series by Gary Larson came out twenty years ago, but it still works even for today's people. In fact, you don't even have to buy a book. You can go online and find comic strips, lists of jokes and so on.
On DVD, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon or however you get them, you can find funny movies and shows that can make a difference in your life. Teen movies are particularly funny when done well. Mean Girls, 10 Things I Hate About You and She's All That are bound to bring a smile to your father's face. Screwball comedies might be your father's cup of tea. Some comedies from the 1930s, 40s and 50s have stood the test of time and are still amusing. Also, there are a number of channels where people can watch comedians in high spirits.
If your father already has close friends to exchange jokes with, it's to his great advantage. But your father can also seek out new friends who have a lighter, cheerier and more mirthful way to life.
People are often in humorous situations at work, at home and in life, but to what degree do we take note of them? You can encourage your father to note humorous situations all around him. If he begins to notice this, soon enough, he begins to actively seek them. Before he knows it, his search for a humor-filled life becomes a significant part of his day.
【1】What do the Dilbert series and The Far Side series have in common?
A．They're in the form of short stories.
B．They have many jokes about office life.
C．They can bring much laughter to people.
D．They became popular soon after publication.
【2】The underlined word “mirthful” in Paragraph 4 means__________________.
A．colorful
B．joyful
C．puzzling
D．regular
【3】What's implied in the last paragraph?
A．Humorous situations can be easily ignored.
B．Humorous situations can be created actively.
C．People should spend time with positive people.
D．People should learn to discover the humorous moments.
24、Japan's biggest airline is betting that the future of travel isn't traveling at all. For the last month, a married couple has been interacting with a robot—called an Avatar—that's controlled by their daughter hundreds of miles away. Made by ANA Holdings Inc., it looks like a vacuum cleaner with an iPad attached. But the screen displays the daughter's face as they chat, and its wheels let her move about the house as though she's really there.
“Virtual travel” is nothing new,of course.Storytellers, travel writers and artists have been stimulating the senses of armchair tourists for centuries. It's only in recent decades that frequent, safe travel has become available to the non- wealthy.
Yet even as the world's middle classes climb out of the armchair and into economy-class seat, there are signs of a post-travel society emerging. Concerns about environmental sustainability cause loss to airlines which release much carbon. And the aging of abundant societies is both restricting physical travel and creating demand for alternative ways to experience the world. For the travel industry, virtual reality offers an attractive response to these trends.
Of course, new technologies encourage far-out claims. ANA doesn't plan to start selling Avatars until next year. Profits, too, will probably be difficult to make: By one estimate, the global market for this kind of technology will be worth only about $300 million by 2023. By contrast, ANA's traditional travel business brought in more than $19 billion last year.
But if the business value for virtual vacations is still weak, the market for technologies that bridge physical distances between families and coworkers seems likely to only expand. ANA's robots may not replace its airplanes any time soon, but they ll almost certainly be a part of travel's high-tech future.
【1】Why does the author use the example of a couple interacting with a robot?
A．To show the Japanese are crazy about travel.
B．To indicate virtual travel begins to enter people's real life.
C．To show the couple are very enthusiastic over robots.
D．To express the close relationship between the couple and their daughter.
【2】Which of the following is the possible reason for virtual travel's appearance?
A．Storytellers, travel writers and artists have been using it for centuries.
B．Frequent and safe travel has become available to the ordinary people.
C．People are worried about the air pollution caused by airlines.
D．More and more people lose interest in travel.
【3】What can we learn about Avatars from the last two paragraphs?
A．They will be put on the market soon.
B．They will bring ANA a lot of money,
C．They will replace ANA's airplanes soon.
D．They are almost unavoidable in travel's future.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Your Next Travel May Be Virtual
B．Easy Travel in the Future
C．Virtual Travel Benefits
D．Air Travel Disappearing
