that's an easy question to answer. She holds an account on each of the two platforms where she uploads
her videos about the detailed cooking processes of various kinds of traditional Chinese food.

Scientists think that growing garden grass could be the secret to solving our energy needs, and we may soon
be able to replace our gasoline with "grassoline".
The team, including experts from Cardiff University in Wales, has shown that hydrogen(氢)can be taken
from grass in useful amounts with the help of sunlight and a cheap catalyst-something that speeds up a chemical
reaction without being used up.
It is the first time that this has been shown and it could lead to a sustainable way of making hydrogen.
Reported Asian News International. This could be an important kind of renewable energy because it is high in
energy and it does not give out harmful gases when it is burned.
Study co-author Michael Bowker said, “This is really a green source of energy. Hydrogen is seen as an
important future energy carrier as the world moves from fossil fuels to renewable energy, and our research has
shown that even garden grass could be a good way of getting it. "
Cellulose(纤维素), which is a key part of plants and the biopolymer(生物聚合物) found in the largest
numbers on the earth, could be a great source of hydrogen.
In their study, the team looked at the possibility of getting hydrogen from cellulose using sunlight and a
simple catalyst.
This is called photocatalysis(光 催 化 作 用 )and in it, the sunlight starts the catalyst. which then makes
cellulose and water into hydrogen. The researchers studied the effectiveness of three metal-bused catalysts, of
which nickel(镍 )especially interested the researchers, as it is a much more common metal than gold andpalladium and it saves more money.
According to Bowker, producing hydrogen from cellulose using photocatalysis has not been studied in detail.
The team's research shows that large amounts of hydrogen can be produced using this method with the help of a bit
of sunlight and a cheap catalyst.
The study shows that it is effective to use real grass taken from a garden. "This is important as it avoids the
need to separate and clean up cellulose, which can be both difficult and costly. "said Bowker.
28. What are needed to get hydrogen from grass?
A. A catalyst and palladium. B. Water and cellulose.
C. Sunlight and a biopolymer. D. Sunlight and a catalyst.
29. Why is the new way of making hydrogen considered significant?
A. It is cheap, green and sustainable. B. It is the best to produce the renewable energy.
C. It is more productive and efficient than other methods.
D. It can replace the way to make fossil fuels completely.
30. Why does nickel interest the researchers in making hydrogen from cellulose?
A. It can produce the largest amount of hydrogen. B. It can avoid separating and cleaning up cellulose.
C. It is more common than other metals and costs less.
D. It works quicker than other metals during photocatalysis.
31. What does the author intend to tell us mainly in this passage?
A. Catalysts that could be taken from grass. B. A new way of making hydrogen from grass.
C. The potential of hydrogen as renewable energy. D. The connection between hydrogen and photocatalysis.

Black Friday does not offer the bargains it claims, consumer experts warned. Almost all of
the 'deals' promoted around the event last year were actually on offer for the same price or cheaper inthe six months either before or after. Remarkably, just 1 in 20 was actually the cheapest price on
that date.
Consumer group Which? has told shoppers to be wary of what they describe as the 'Great
Black Friday Swindle' after analyzing dozens of offers from Amazon, John Lewis and Currys PC
World. Importedfrom the US, Black Friday always falls on the last Friday of November. This is
because the sales are scheduled to follow the American holiday of Thanksgiving which takes place
the day before.
In Britain, the event has been a disaster for many retailers-particularly those with a high street
presence--because they feel they have to slash prices or risk missing out on the first flush of
festive spending. Before Black Friday crossed the Atlantic, shops held off advertising discounts
until the last minute before Christmas.
However, the November sales event now leads to a huge spending splurge( 挥 霍 ) over
the weekend-only to be followed by empty stores and streets through December. Now research by
Which? suggests the Black Friday sales themselves are not all they seam. Which? tracked the
prices of 83 products on sale on Black Friday in 2018 for a year, from six months before the day
until six months after. Researchers found just four deals--5 percent--were cheaper on Black Friday
than at other times. Six in ten of the products on offer, which included speakers, soundbars and
kitchen appliances, were cheaper or the same price on at least one day in the six months before the
event. And Which? found that three in four products were cheaper or the same price in the six
months afterwards, when compared with the deals offered in two weeks around Black Friday.
Natalic Hitchins at Which? said, "We have repeatedly shown that 'deals' touted by retailers on
Black Friday are not as good as they seen. Time-limited sales can be a good opportunity to bag abargain, but don't fall for the pressure tactics around Black Friday. Our investigation indicates that
this popular shopping event is all hype(大宣肆传)and there are few genuine discounts. "
An investigative study of Black Friday, led by West Chester University Professor Gina Castle Bell,
observed themes of consumerism but also observed the themes of a happy holiday. The
researchers found through Black Friday people celebrate, plan, bond, and build traditions together.
For me my Black Friday always begins and ends on a living room floor littered with newspaper
ads. There, late on Thanksgiving night, my family collectively holds a strategy session. Later, we
race to early bird specials, wait with strangers in lines sharing stories of past Black Fridays, take a
long relaxing lunch full of family banter (打趣), get Christmas decorations, stop into a Cheesecake
Factory bar to see the dramatic end of a football game, get a caffeine-high from Starbucks
Christmas drinks, and end the shopping at a torn apart Old Navy (美 国 服 装 品 牌 ), digging to
find late available basics like socks. Finally, exhausted but contented. we collapse back on that
living room floor, still littered with ads, where we drink hot cocoa, watch a Christmas movie, and
plan to hang the new decorations.
32.What was the truth of bargains on Black Friday in 2018?
A. 5%of the deals were at the lowest price on Black Friday.
B. 95 of the deals were at the lowest price on Black Friday.
C. 93%of the deals were at the same price before or after the sales.
D. 5% of the deals were at the higher price before or after the sales.
33. We can infer from Paragraph 3 that ________.
A. Black Friday is an international shopping festival
B. many employees have a day off on Black Friday
C. Black Friday is the best time of the year to get good deals in the USD. consumers may do some serious Christmas shopping on Black Friday
34. The underlined word “slash” in Paragraph 2 means _________.
A.draw B.reduce C.deposit D.increase
35. The author introduces the Paragraph 4 by __________.
A.following time order B.following importance order
C.giving examples D.making comparisons and contrasts.

Top tips for students doing voluntary holiday work
I have had some of the best and worst experiences of my life doing voluntary projects. Having
taken part in a few such programs before, here are some tips I have picked up.
36
Many of these schemes are advertised on legal websites, but even these can have hosts who take advantage
of them. These people will advertise something that simply isn't true and when you arrive, the arrangement may be
different from what you expected.
Choose somewhere with a lot of positive reviews
Many sites that advertise work projects have a space for reviews, Reviews tend to mean people
have been there. And positive reviews indicate people enjoyed it. Again, be cautious because reviews
can be faked. 37 .
Bring a friend or a few.
38 And it's good to have a partner if you end up in a difficult situation. Try to find a friend with
some good skills to travel with you. Trade skills can be very useful.

If you like the work and you're getting free food and accommodation, why leave?

A. Only go if you intend to work.
B. Learn the language of where you are going.

Learning any language is hard. but learning English can be especially 41. Why? Because
native speakers use the language in ways that 42 could never Describe. 43. words that British people
use cause many language students to 44 their heads.
Here's a(n) 45 :You overhear a Briton calling someone a "wazzock". But what 46 is a wazzock?
This word, in fact, 47 a foolish person, although there's nothing about it that would help you guess
that.There are many strange 48 like this in British English-the Oxford English Dictionary would be
much smaller without these peculiar(古搔的)usages filling its pages.
How can these odd words be 49 ? Part of the answer is the British sense of humor. Britons
don't like to 50 things too seriously, and this is evident through many British words and phrases. For
example, to"spend a penny"means to use the 51. It refers to the days when people had to 52 a
penny to use at public toilet.
In an interview for the BBC’s website. British linguist David Crystal 53 there might be 54
reasons for the sheer number of odd words and phrases in British English. He thinks that they began
in the late 16th and early 17th centuries, This was a great 55 for the theater, when Shakespeare andother writers worked hard to 56 the demand for new plays. The theater's popularity also created an
incentive(刺激) to 57 new words.
With this in 58, perhaps Shakespeare and his peers are to blame for 59 British words such
as"codswallop"and"balderdash"--which both, ironically, mean "nonsense".
While these strange words may be 60 to non-native speakers, they certainly make studying
English a lot more interesting.
