As the winter months begin to settle in, I find myself wondering what it is about this traditional meal, which has existed for more than 1000 years, that makes it a Chinese food favoriteBut it seems that the answer lies beyond the dish itselfHot pot isn't just designed to keep you warm during the cold months; it's also a social experienceIt's a "theater” cuisine that turns a meal into an eventThere is a lot of fun for everyone to have in adding ingredients to the hot potHot pot is eaten over two to three hoursFor this reason, it is often, considered an evening's entertainment, and time to spend with friends and familyHowever, many westerners would be put off by the idea of other people sticking chopsticks in their foodWhen we come to eat at the table in the UK, we tend to have our own individual portions （份额）, although the experience is still a social oneA similar experience to the hot pot one can be found in Korean barbecue restaurants, which let you cook your own meatThis allows people to have their meat done however they wantFor most Westerners, the idea of going to a restaurant to cook their own food is bizarre （古怪的）But having given hot pot a go, I find it's now one of my favorite meals in BeijingThe steam from the pot left my clothes smelling of food when I got home, but perhaps this is also part of the experienceWhen the chilly （刺骨的） wind is blowing outside, just grab （抓） some chopsticks, some good friends, and dig inFor me it's like throwing a dinner party where my taste buds （味蕾） and my appetite are equally satisfied in the warm company of friends31According to the author, hot pot is popular in China because _Ait is a fun social experienceBit has been developing for over 1,000 yearsCit involves many unique ingredientsDit keeps people warm in winter and it is creative32We can conclude from the article that generally British people _.Aprefer a Korean barbecue to Chinese hot potBfind it interesting to cook their own food in restaurantsCdon't like sharing food with othersDdon't mind the smell of food staying on their clothes after dinner33The underlined word "put off in the third paragraph probably means _Aexcited Bdisappointed Cpuzzled Ddiscouraged34What is the tone of the article?AAppreciative B LongingCHumorous DSeriousBLast week, my granddaughter started kindergarten （幼儿园）, and I wished her every successBut part of me didn'tI actually wanted her to fail in some ways because I believe that failure can be good for our learning processSuccess is proving that you can do something that you already know you can do, or doing something correctly the first timewhich can often be a problematic victoryFirst-time success is often a fluke （侥幸）First-time failure, by contrast, is expected, it is the natural order of thingsFailure is how we learnIn Africa they describe a good cook as "she who has broken many pots"If you've spent enough time in the kitchen to break a lot of pots, you probably know a lot about cookingI once had dinner with a group of cooks, and they spent time comparing knife wounds and burn scarsThey knew how much credibility （可靠性） their failures gave themI earn my living by writing a daily newspaper columnEach week I am aware that one column I write will be my worstI don't set out to write itI try my best every dayI have learned to cherish （珍惜） that columnA good column usually means that I am discussing a familiar topic, writing in a style I am used to or saying the same things as any one else but in a fancy wayMy younger daughter is a trapeze-artist （杂技荡千演员）. She spent three years putting together a show, and she did it successfully for yearsThere was no reason for her to change itbut she did anywayShe said she was no longer learning anything new and that she was boredAnd if she was bored, there was no point in subjecting her body to all that stress She risked failure and public embarrassment in order to feed her soulMy granddaughter is a perfectionistShe will feel her failures, and I will want to comfort herBut I will also, I hope, remind her of what she learned, and how she can do better next timeI hope I can tell her, though, that it's not the end of the worldIndeed, with luck, it is just the beginning35Why did the author want his granddaughter to fail?ASuccess is boring though beneficialBIt is impossible to do everything successfullyCShe would learn more from failureDHe wanted her to be strong enough to face hardships36What's the author's attitude toward his daughter changing her show?APositive BWorried CNegative DExcited37The author develops the article mainly by _Afollowing the time order Bgiving examplesCcomparing different opinions Dpresenting a cause and analyzing its effects38The writer talked about his own experience to show that_Awe cannot depend on luck to live a good lifeBpast failures made him dare not take risks in writingCwe should try every possible way to avoid failureDthe thought of failure will make you work even harderC“Heartless" it's not usually a word you would want to use to describe a personBut having his heart removed was what saved Craig Lewis' life ?and what made him the first living "heartless" manThe 55-year-old had been dying of heart diseaseHe was told that he only had 12 hours to liveThat was when Billy Cohn and Bud Frazier, two doctors from the Texas Heart Institute, US, decided to try something newThey removed Lewis' heart and replaced it with an artificial oneLess than a week after the operationLewis was able to sit up in bed and speak to his family, according to Reuters Lewis kept on living like a normal person, with only one difference -he didn't have a heartbeatThe human heart usually pumps blood through our bodies by beating regularlyBy contrast, this artificial heart pushes the blood forward with two moving blades（桨叶）If you were to touch Lewis or listen lo his chest, you would not feel a heartbeatIf you hooked him up to an EKG（心电图） machine, the line would be flatScientists have been trying to create a working artificial heart for yearsMany people suffer from serious heart disease and cannot get transplants （移植）Until now all artificial hearts either broke down or caused blocks and infectionsBut after five years of hard work, Dr Cohn and Dr Frarier developed this artificial heart It is smaller and quieter than other artificial hearts and can last much longerThey tested it on 38 calves （牛犊） and all of them turned out energetic and healthyLewis is the first human proof that the machine is a successThe doctors will have to work more on the device and decide on a final design before it can be widely usedThe US Food and Drug Administration will also need to say that the machine is safeBut this artificial heart looks likely to bring a ray of hope to thousands of patients39What can we infer from the first two paragraphs?AWithout the artificial heart, Lewis could have diedBLewis feels he is unique because he has no heartCAfter the operation, Lewis recovered rather slowlyDLewis' own heart kept working alongside the artificial one40In what way was Lewis' new heart special?AIt was taken from a calfBIt pushed and pumped blood instead of beatingCIt could be indicated on the EKG machineDIt had obvious advantages over other artificial hearts41Which of the following is TRUE about this artificial heart?aIt is smaller and quieterbIt will last longercIt has not yet become infecteddIt is going to be produced on mass scaleAabBabdCabcDabcd42The writer seems to be _ the artificial heartAdoubtful about Boptimistic about Csure of Dproud ofDDisease, poverty, hate, love-Charles Dickens' stories opened his readers' eyes to the most important themes of his ageTwo hundred years on, his stories still speak volumes across the world, proving that Dickens' legacy （遗产） was far greater than just "great literature"February 7 marks the 200th anniversary of the writer's birthdayTo mark this date, BBC writer Alex Hudson listed six things Dickens gave the modern worldLet's take a look at two of themA while ChristmasDickens is described as "the man who invented Christmas" -not the religious festival, but the cultural aspects that we associate with the festive （喜庆的） season todayIn the early 19th century, Christmas was barely worth mentioning, according to critic and writer Leigh HuntThe committee which ran the Conservative Party even held ordinary business meetings on Christmas Day - unthinkable in the West nowadays, when everyone, but the most necessary workers takes at least three days offMany people believe that Dickens' popular depictions（描绘） of the festive period became a blueprint for generations to comeIn his classic novel, A Christmas Carol, he not only put forward the idea of snow at Christmas, but also painted a picture of glowing warmth-“home enjoyments, affections and hopes"In his biography of Dickens, Peter Ackroyd wrote, "Dickens can be said to have almost single-handedly created the modern idea of Christmas""Dickensian" povertyDickens was one of the first to take an honest look at the underclass and the poor of Victorian （the period during British Queen Victoria's reign from 1837 to 1901） LondonHe helped popularize the term "red tape" to describe situations where people in power use needless amounts of bureaucracy （官僚作风） in a way that particularly hurts the weaker and poorer members of society"Dickensian" has now become a powerful word for describing an unacceptable level of povertyIn 2009, when the president of the Association of Teac
