I learned the names of _21_ dishes, but still didnt know most of the things I saw on Chinese restaurant menus. Luckily, there were _22_ to help me.Nearly every restaurant menu in China has pictures of food _23_ it. But many restaurants Ive been to in the US dont. What is the _24_ for the difference?One thing Ive definitely (明确地) _25_ about China is that food is a bigger part of their culture than it is in the US. A common way to _26_ someone in China is to ask them if theyve eaten yet.Food is just a _27_ deal here - and having pictures of food in menus is part of that. Some menus are almost like works of _28_ with well-framed (构图精美的) photos.Another factor is the names of the dishes. Chinese dishes sometimes have fanciful (别出心裁的) names like “palace guard chicken” or “three fresh things from the soil.” These are interesting names, but they dont really tell you _29_ the dishes are like. Therefore, its helpful to have pictures so you can actually see what youre going to be eating.Theres probably even more to it than that. All I know is that I was very _30_ to have those picture menus when I first came here.21. A. a little B. much C. a few D. few 22. A. pictures B. videos C. covers D. materials 23.

BArt has always been my favorite subject, as it allows me to indulge in my passion for drawing. I still remember when I was a toddler (幼童), I would always reach for crayons and colored pencils and scribble on books, pieces of paper, and walls.But now in school, there are only four art periods per week, which are far from enough for me. I notice that the 80 minutes for each lesson seem to pass by in a flash because I immerse myself completely in my artwork. It is as if drawing transports me to another world, where time stands still and creativity flows endlessly. One moment I am taking out my art materials, the next the teacher is asking us to hand in our work.I love drawing so much that whenever I have a spare moment between classes, I find myself doodling or sketching something. I have spent so much time perfecting my skills that even my classmates are often amazed by my talent. But I never boast about my abilities and am always grateful for their compliments (赞美).I especially enjoy drawing cartoons. This is the area where my creativity is regularly exercised. Letting my imagination run wild, I sometimes draw things that surprise even myself - let alone my classmates. I have caricatures (漫画) of all the teachers I know. While some are flattering (使人更显漂亮的), others should not be shown to the people involved because they will be upset. They are only for my classmates and me to see.Overall, I must say that I always feel good when I am drawing something. For me, drawing is a natural outlet for self-expression. It simply allows me to follow my instincts (直觉) and lets my emotions guide my hand. And the result is always pleasing, leaving me with a sense of achievement that no other subject can match. 33.

They speak highly of the authors drawings.D. They dont appreciate the authors talent for drawing.37. What does the author think of drawing?A. It helps him build confidence. B.

In front of him was a big window facing the blue ocean. And a cool gentle wind was coming in from the door. Clearly, he saw and felt none of it.Back at home, Id soon give up and hand the phone over to him after five minutes of listening to this kind of moaning.But not here. Before we left I had told my 10-year-old son the rule - no emails, no Facebook, no video games, and no iPhone. We came here to get away from them all. Here we were on our first day and already, he couldnt stand it._ I walked down the grass road to the beach and looked out to the sea. My 6-year -old daughter and my husband were drawing on pieces of wood. They were doing just fine.On Day 2, we spent the whole morning digging for shells (贝壳). This time my son joined us. He collected shelfish and other sea treasures. When we got back to our little wood house, I gave my son a book, and put him on the lovely garden chair. It was almost dinner when he looked up.The next few days passed in peace.On Day 6, my son was lying beside me on the beach, watching the sun going down. He was playing with the sand. And there was something shining in his eyes. I realized how time slowed down for both of us. It was exactly what I wanted. Finally, we were able to sit quietly without thinking about screens, phone calls and emails.A week away from all the electronics and life is good.38. What is the special rule for the writers vacation?A. They couldnt use their electronics.B. They must keep quiet and stay in the house. C. They had to spend their vacation on an island.D.

I just walked outside to leave him alone.D. I gave him his iPhone and let him stay inside.40.

A Terrible Life on the IslandB. A Special iPhone for My SonC. A Fight between Mother and SonD. A Vacation Away from ElectronicsDHaving a teenager at home can be a real headache. Many teenagers smoke, drink andeven fight. They often do something dangerous.Earlier studies have shown that teenagers are more likely to make irrational decisions than people from any other age group, including children and adults. Is it that teenagers are too young to tell right from wrong? Not really. So whats the reason?According to Laurence, a teacher from an American university, the reason is that teenagers care a lot about their peers (同龄人) view them - that is “peer influence”.As children enter their teenage years, they spend more time with their friends and classmates, and also they care more about what they think of them. This makes teenagers make decisions without thinking about the costs.In a test, a group of teenagers were asked to play a video driving game. When they played with their friends watching around them, they took more chances and drove more carelessly because that would increase their possibility of winning. But when they played alone, they drove more safely. Why do peers have such a big influence on teens behaviour?As Laurence sees it, a teenagers brain is like a car with a good accelerator (油门) but a weak brake (刹车). The “accelerator is fully developed by teenage years while the “brake” is still not fully developed. When teenagers are watched by their peers, they usually push hard on the accelerator. With their weak brake it is likely that they are going to end up in an accident.But the good news is that a violent teenager doesnt necessarily become a violent adult. About two thirds to three quarters of violent youth grow out of it. They get more self-controlled.42. What does the underlined word “irrational” in the 2nd paragraph probably mean?A. Quick. B. Crazy C. Careful. D. Correct. 43. According to the passage, teenagers often take risks because _.A. they like challenging themselves B. they are too young to tell right from wrong C. they dont think about costs D. they care about what their peers think of them 44. How does Laurence explain the influence of peer influence on teens behaviour?A. By using a metaphor (比喻). B. By giving real examples. C. By presenting research results. D. By doing experiments. 45. We can learn from the text that _. A. teenagers are easy to have traffic accidentsB. peer influence has a good influence on teenagersC. most of the teenagers become less violent when they grow up D. teenagers shouldnt spend all the free time with their friendsE“Mum, can you give me something for my time capsule (胶囊)?”Mum looks up from her book. Suddenly shes interested. “Your what?”“My time capsule. Its for a school project.”“Whats a time capsule?”Jan cant believe her mum doesnt know what a time capsule is. Everyone knows what a time capsule is.“A time capsule. you know.”“No, I dont know.”“You put things inside it and then you bury (埋) it in the garden for someone to find in the future. Thats why its called a time capsule.”Mum puts down her book. She drinks some more tea and looks at Jan.“What do you put inside?”“Things. Personal things, a letter.things related to (与.有关) now. this year. a diary or a newspaper, for example.” Jan looks at the apple juice. “Or a bottle of apple juice. When the person finds the time capsule in the future, they can find out things about the past. They can reed the newspaper. They can find out what people ate and drank, and they can find out about.me.”“How do you know someone is going to find it?”“I dont.”“I see. And this is a school project?”“Yes. Its for History. For Mrs. Zinger. I want something to put the things into. I need a container (容器). Have you got anything? Please?”“What kind of thing?”“I dont know. A box? I need something strong to protect the things inside.”Mum looks around the room and thinks. Suddenly she has an idea. She goes to the cupboards and takes out a large old biscuit tin (饼干盒). “Here it is,” she says, opening the tin and looking inside.J
