LEEDS CASTLEAram and Rossi's BakeryWalking along the narrow brick sidewalk, Aram took a deep breath. The air smelled of lemons and baked bread and coffee, coming from Rossi's Italian Bakery. He was almost there.Aram still couldn't believe his luck. All his friends were working boring summer jobs一waiting tables and babysitting. And here he was, about to start as an actual bakefs assistant doing what he loved. It was all thanks to his Aunt Rita. She knew Mrs Rossi and had arranged everything. It was the perfect experience for his future career. Rossi's Bakery, he was sure, would one day be known as the place where he got his start.Ah, here he was一the bakery. A faded wooden sign over the door read "Rossi's Bakery." Aram straightened his shoulders and entered. Mrs Rossi was sitting at the counter, looking old and wise. Aram greeted her and stuck out his hand. Mrs Rossi looked a second before turning around and waving him inside. 'Tm ready to learn everything,*' Aram said."Great. Let's start with the cash register,'1 Mrs Rossi said, nbecause that's what-you'Il be doing.1' She showed him how to use the cash register. It wasn't hard. The pastry trays were all marked by price, and there weren*t-that many choices anyway. ,That,s it?” Aram said, his heart sinking. nBut when do we bake?”“Bake? I order wholesale now. No more baking. I'm too old.H Then Mrs Rossi silently held up her hands. Aram took in her knotted, swollen fingers, and he understood. A wave of disappointment struck him. Sadness overwhelmed him so suddenly that he couldn't think of a word to say.He sighed, and Mrs Rossi sighed, too. nI used to bake it all. Bread and cakes. And no one did it better than me. But that was when these things worked/ said Mrs Rossi holding up her hands once more and glancing across the shelves filled with empty bottles labelled with names of the various ingredients （酉己 料）she once used. Suddenly she came alive, waving her arthritic （关节炎的）hands, "People used to line up around the corner. Everyone wanted my baked bread.'1注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。Then a thought occurred to Aram that he could ask Mrs Rossi to teach him.

"Yes, Mrs Rossi,n Aram said, "I still remember the smell of the bread and cakes bought from your bakery when I was a child. It never failed to drive the misery away. How I wish I could be a baker like you." Rossi squeezed out a smile, " But I'm old now and my fingers are no longer nimble.” "What do you think of my fingers? Do you think they are fit for baking?" Aram responded carefully in a low voice. HYes, I noticed you had the perfect fingers for a baker." ''Then, would you please let me be your hands and restart baking?H begged Aram expectantly.Mrs Rossi finally said, nLet's buy the ingredients first/' Seeing the ingredients, Mrs Rossi refreshed, her eyes glittering with light. With Mrs Rossi's guidance, they made a fresh start. Everyday, Mrs Rossi instructed Aram about the features of each ingredient and how they work together to make the best bread and cakes.

On this stretch of coast, myth and history live side by side, and running out of things to do is near impossible: Giants Causeway, Carrick a Rede, the Iron Isles* filming locations.However, when I make my way to the north of the country in October, none of them are on my mind. What brings me to the coastal town of Portrush are the waves.Located on a peninsula, Portrush is home to three brilliant beaches and all the usual points of interest of a coastal town. But what makes the North Antrim Coast so special is the promise of the consistent waves hitting its shores. Although still relatively unknown, it's a surfefs dream destination. This is the home of six time Irish national surfing champion, Andrew Hill, after all.I meet Andrew at his surf shop, the most popular in Portrush. After hiring a surf board and jumping in the water at West Strand, I quickly realise that my trusted wetsuit is not enough. Within just 30 minutes, I've lost all feeling in my feet and hands, and my ears are burning. I retreat to a nearby cafe and gulp down steaming tea before popping by Andrew's shop, again. Surf boots are what I need, we decide, I leave with a new determination to master the icy Atlantic waves. I'm invited to surf a different spot with Andrew and his friend that afternoon, but I decline his generous offer. My head is set on one thing only: taking revenge: on the same waves that almost turned me into an ice block that very morning.Even with boots, surfing the cold-waters of Portrush leaves my feet purple. I become covered in bruises that don't register until I thaw out each night, and it takes a couple of days to fully regain feeling in my hands.

This precious cargo, collected by Chang'e-5's robotic research vehicle in the northwest region of the lunar near side, is now being studied by scientists in Beijing. The success of the latest Chinese space mission also showcased technology that may be used in future years to create human settlements on Earth's near neighbor.The returned lunar samples will ''absolutely add new knowledge of the history of the moon, particularly its volcanoes,'1 says Xiao Long a planetary scientist at China University of Geosciences. The rocks seat back by Chang'e-5 "will ask us to rethink about why and how the moon's volcanic history lasted this long," he says.The Chang'e-5 mission was more than just a trip to collect moon rocks. It was also the latest stage of a long, planned sequence of robotic lunar explorations by China that have grown ever more scientifically advanced.The program began with the 2007 launch of Changfe-1 and Chang'e-2 three years later. These craft circled the moon collecting data used to help guide Chang'e-3 and Chang'e-4, the first Chinese spacecraft to land on the moon surface, and to direct their robotic vehicles. The robot on Chang'e-5 was able to collect rock and soil samples and return them to Earth. In the near future, an identical spacecraft called Chang'e-6 will attempt a sample-return mission from the moon's south pole一an area of intense scientific interest一 given the large amount of water ice present.The more advanced Chang'e-7 and Chang*e-8 spacecraft are also planned to land near the south pole to carry out analysis of the region and test new technologies, including detecting and obtaining materials that could be useful to future human explorers, such as water and hydrogen, and testing 3-D printing on the lunar surface.The long-term aim of the Chang*e program is to establish an International Lunar Research Station around 2030 to support robotic and, eventually, crewed missions.(1) What is paragraph 2 mainly about?A. The moon，s recent volcanic activities.B. The significance of the moon rock samples.C. New knowledge of the history of the moon.D. Further studies of the returned lunar samples.(2) What distinguishes the mission of Chang'e-6 from that of Chang'e-5?A. The technology they use.B. The time they spend on the moon.C. The specific locations they explore.D. The amount of material they bring back.(3) Chang'e-7 and Chang'e-8 space missions are mainly intended to .A. transport researchers to the moon stationbuild up an International Lunar Research StationB. collect data necessary to guide moon landing spacecraftfind and test resources and means to support living on the moon(4) Which of the following best summarizes the Chang'e space program?A. A project to study the surface of the moon.B. A plan to improve human settlements on the moon.C. A set of experiments to test the possibility of manned spacecraft.D. A series of increasingly challenging scientific lunar explorations.4、【来源】2021年广东广州高三二模(D篇)第1215题10分(每题2.5分)What makes people so special? Tool use, self-consciousness, language, and culture are high on the list, but in fact all of these characteristics can be found elsewhere in the animal kingdom. Humans and apes are close relatives, so it is perhaps not surprising that chimpanzees use tools or that gorillas (大猩猩)have a sense of fair play, even rejecting carrots (which they normally accept) when they see their neighbors getting grapes. But the qualities that we often think of as uniquely human exist not just on land, but in the ocean as well.Among the invertebrates, octopuses (八爪鱼)are known fbr their intelligence, even exhibiting evidence of playfulness, tool use, and personality. But these skilled predators live alone and consequently lack culture. Dolphins, on the other hand, are large-brained, long-living, social-group-based predators, and it is here that we find the greatest similarity to human-like culture and awareness.Culture depends on the ability of animals to pass on things they have learned to others. Many animals have culture in this sense, but what sets dolphins apart is what they pass on. Some bottlenose dolphins hold sponges in their mouths that they use as tools to sweep for fish hiding on the ocean floor. This ability is handed down through generations (especially in females), with some familiesgrandmother, mother, and daughter一all feeding in this highly specialized way.Another characteristic that dolphins share with humans is their ability to recognize themselves in a mirror. When facing a mirror, most animals behave as though they are interacting with another individual. Even in humans, the ability to recognize that the image in a mirror is oneself does not occur before the age of 18 months. Dolphins not only recognize themselves, but if a black mark is put on the body of a dolphin, it will spend extra time at the mirror to look at the mark.(1) The example of gorillas rejecting carrots shows they .A. are not easy to foolprefer fruits to vegetablesB. have a special taste for foodC. have an awareness of equalityWhat do octopuses lack compared with dolphins?A. Social interaction.B. Intelligence.C. Tool using ability.D. Fun-loving spirits.(2) What makes dolphin culture special?A. They tend to hunt in groups.B. Their hunting skills are passed down.C. Their learning environment is favourable.D. Their families are typically female-controlled.(3) What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Dolphins enjoy looking at their own reflection in the mirror.B. Dolphins are as intelligent as a typical 18-month-old human baby.C. Dolphins are generally regarded as the most advanced nonhuman species.D. Dolphins， ability to recognize their own reflection is a higher-order mental skill.二、信息匹配(本大题共5小题，每小题2.5分
