A
Experience around food is about the place, the time and the people, and “the best meal”
can be found in a fine dining restaurant or a crowded street market. How can you recreate that
special moment influenced by place and time? Travel is becoming the most popular reason to
visit many places around the world. Here are the places that consistently excite the senses.
South of France
Markets with fresh fruits and vegetables and butcher shops are abundant. Regional wines 3
are excellent．And freshly baked French bread with French butter is what memories are made
of. Take a chair in an ancient walled city for a meal with a view that you will never forget．
Barcelona
This bustling city filled with unique restaurants is a city for lovers of history, architecture
and food. Kiosko Universal, at one corner of the market, prepares some of the simplest and
best food we’ve ever had. Give yourself a week to explore and see everything the city offers.
The city is not to be missed．
Italy
It’s hard to choose one place or city to visit. Some of our favorite places include the
coastal regions on the Adriatic and Tuscany. Friuli stole our hearts last year with its many
unique wines, small artisan food produces, and influences from neighboring countries like
Austria and Germany．
Mexico City
From unbelievable food markets and casual street stands, Mexico City has become the
place to travel for the food lovers. If you want to eat locally, order a Hurache，a street food
specialty. All you will need is a local microbrew or Mezcal（龙舌兰酒）to wash it down．
21．What is Kiosko Universal?
A．A local market.B．A butcher shop.C．A dining restaurant. D．A street stand.
22．What do you need to help swallow Hurache when eating it?
A．Bread.B．Alcohol.C．Juice. D．Fruit.
23．What do the four places have in common?

B
I got married just after I graduated from college and found a job to support our family at
the nearby Massachusettes Institute of Technology (MIT). It was in the laboratory of Prof.
Edward Lorenz that I learned what a computer was and how to develop software.
One day my husband saw a newspaper advertisement. The MIT Instrumentation
Laboratory was looking for people to develop software to "send man to the moon". Deeply
attracted both by the idea and the fact that it had never been done before, I became the first
programmer to join and the first woman the lab hired.
At the beginning, nobody thought software was such a big deal. But then they began to
realize how much they were relying on it. Our software needed to be very reliable and able to
detect an error and recover from it at any time during the mission.
My daughter, Lauren, liked to intimate me—playing astronaut. One day, she was with
me when I was doing a simulation (模拟) of a mission to the moon. She started hitting keys
and all of a sudden, she selected a program which was supposed to be run before launch. The
computer had so little space that it wiped the navigation data taking her to the moon. I thought:
my God—this could happen by accident in a real mission. I suggested a program change to
prevent a prelaunch program being selected during flight. But the higher-ups at MIT and
NASA said the astronauts were too well trained to make such a mistake.
On the very next mission, Apollo 8, one of the astronauts on board accidentally did
exactly what Lauren had done. The Lauren bug! It created destruction and required the
mission to be rearranged. After that, they let me put the program change in. It was the
program change that had a crucial influence on the success of the mission of Apollo 11.
During the early days of Apollo, software was not taken as seriously as other engineering
disciplines (学科).It was out of desperation I came up with the term "software engineering".
Then one day in a meeting, one of the most respected hardware experts explained to everyone
that he agreed with me that the process of building software should also be considered an
engineering discipline, just like with hardware. It was a memorable moment. 4
24．What do we know about the author?
A．She taught Lauren to write software.
B．She got her master's degree from MIT.
C．She is the first woman ever hired by MIT.
D．She created the term "software engineering".
25．"The Lauren bug" in Para.5 refers to ______.
A．a pet to accompany Lauren B．a mission to land on the moon
C．a mistake causing data loss D．a software ending prelaunch
26．What greatly contributed to Apollo 11's success according to the passage?
A．The in-time upload of data. B．The program change.
C．Astronauts' rich experience. D．Experts' new attitude.
27．What can we learn from Margaret's story?
A．Honesty is the best policy. B．A good beginning is half done.
C．Two heads are better than one. D．Chances favor the prepared mind.
C
More than a decade ago, cognitive scientists John Bransford and Daniel Schwartz, both
then at Vanderbilt University, found that what distinguished young adults from children was
not the ability to retain facts or apply prior knowledge to a new situation but a quality they
called "preparation for future learning." The researchers asked fifth graders and college
students to create a recovery plan to protect bald eagles from extinction. Shockingly, the two
groups came up with plans of similar quality (although the college students had better spelling
skills). From the standpoint of a traditional educator, this outcome indicated that schooling
had failed to help students think about ecosystems and extinction, major scientific ideas.
The researchers decided to go deeper, however. They asked both groups to generate
questions about important issues needed to create recovery plans. On this task, they found
large differences. College students focused on critical issues of interdependence between
eagles and their habitats. Fifth graders tended to focus on features of individual eagles ("How
big are they?" and "What do they eat?"). The college students had cultivated the ability to ask
questions, the cornerstone (最重要部分)of critical thinking. They had learned how to learn.
Museums and other institutions of informal learning may be better suited to teach this
skill than elementary and secondary schools. At the Exploratorium in San Francisco, we
recently studied how learning to ask good questions can affect the quality of people's
scientific inquiry. We found that when we taught participants to ask "What if?" and "How
can?"questions that nobody present would know the answer to and that would spark
exploration, they engaged in better inquiry at the next exhibit-asking more questions,
performing more experiments and making better interpretations of their results. Specifically,
their questions became more comprehensive at the new exhibit. Rather than merely asking
about something they wanted to try，they tended to include both cause and effect in their
question. Asking juicy questions appears to be a transferable skill for deepening collaborative
inquiry into the science content found in exhibits.
This type of learning is not confined to museums or institutional settings. Informal
learning environments tolerate failure better than schools. Perhaps many teachers have too
little time to allow students to form and pursue their own questions and too much ground to
cover in the curriculum. But people must acquire this skill somewhere, Our society depends
on them being able to make critical decisions about their own medical treatment, say, or what
we must do about global energy needs and demands. For that, we have an informal learning
system that gives no grades, takes all comers，and is available even on holidays and
weekends.
28．What is traditional educators’ interpretation of the research outcome mentioned in the first
paragraph? 5
A．Students are not able to apply prior knowledge to new problems.
B．College students are no better than fifth grader in memorizing facts.
C．Education has not paid enough attention to major environmental issues.
D．Education has failed to lead students to think about major scientific ideas.
29．College students are different from children in that _____?
A．they have learned to think critically. B．they are concerned about social issues.
C．they are curious about specific features. D．they have learned to work independently.
30．What is the benefit of asking questions with no ready answers?
A．It arouses students' interest in things around them.
B．It cultivates students' ability to make scientific inquiries.
C．It trains students' ability to design scientific experiments.
D．It helps students realize not every question has an answer.
31．At the end of the passage the author seems to encourage educators to ____.
A．train students to think about global issues
B．design more interactive classroom activities
C．make full use of informal learning resources
D．include collaborative inquiry in the curriculum
D
Close to the North Pole，remote and rocky Plateau Mountain in the Norwegian
archipelago(群岛) of Svalbard seems an unlikely spot for any global effort to safeguard
agriculture. In this cold and deserted environment, no grains, no gardens, no trees can grow.
Yet at the end of a 130-meter-long tunnel cut out of solid stone is a room filled with
humanity’s most precious treasure, the largest and most diverse seed collection—more than a
half-billion seeds.
A quiet rescue mission is under way. With growing evidence that unchecked climate
change-will seriously affect food production and threaten the diversity of crops around the
world，the Svalbard Global Seed Vault (地窖)represents a major step towards ensuring the
preservation of hundreds of thousands of crop varieties. This is a seed collection, but more
importantly, it is a collection of the traits found within the seeds：the genes that give one
variety resistance to a particular pest and another variety tolerance for hot, dry weather.
Few people will ever see or come into contact with the contents of this vault. In sealed
boxes，behind multiple locked doors，monitored by electronic security systems, enveloped in
below—zero temperatures, and surrounded by tons of rock, hundreds of millions of seeds are
protected in their mountain fortress. Frozen in such conditions inside the mountain, seeds of
most major crops will remain viable for hundreds of years, or longer. Seeds of some are
capable of retaining their ability to grow for thousands of years.
Everyone can look back now and say that the Seed Vault was a good and obvious idea,
and that of course the Norwegian government should have approved and funded it. But back
in 2004, when the Seed Vault was proposed, it was viewed as a crazy, impractical, and
expensive idea.
We knew that nothing would provide a definite guarantee. But we were tired, fed up, and
frankly scared of the steady, greater losses of crop diversity. The Seed Vault was built by
optimists who wanted to do something to preserve options so that humanity and its crops
might be better prepared for change. If it simply resupplied seed gene banks with samples
those gene banks had lost, this would repay our efforts.
The Seed Vault is about hope and commitment - about what can be done if countries
come together and work cooperatively to accomplish something significant，long-lasting，and
worthy of who we are and wish to be.
32．According to the passage, the Seed Vault is ___________. 6
A．a tunnel where the collected seeds are displayed
B．a stone room that contains the seeds of endangered crops
C．a seed gene bank that stores diverse seeds for future agriculture
D．a lab where researchers study how to maintain the diversity of crops
33．The underlined word “viable” in Paragraph 3 probably means ________.
A．mature B．clean C．alive D．valuable
34．Paragraph 3 mainly tells us __________.
A．how the seeds are preserved B．where people keep the seeds
C．why the seeds are protected D．what people do to study the seeds
35．We can infer from the passage that _________.
A．the Seed Vault offers a solution to climate change
B．different countries took part in rescuing the seed varieties
C．the Seed Vault guarantees to prevent the loss of crop diversity
D．people all considered building the Seed Vault unwise

Making Peace with Your Parents
As a teen, you’re going through big changes physically and mentally. Your interests are
increasing. 36． Here is the challenge: Kids need to explore the world in new ways, and
parents need to protect them from the dangers that are all out in that world. These conflicts
can easily set off fireworks in otherwise calm houses. Sometimes conflicts can’t be avoided.
But by paying attention to the building blocks of successful relationships, you can work
towards making home a happy and healthy place for you and your parents.
For example, try to find a time to talk when your parents are not angry, tired, distracted or
hungry. A good time to talk is when you’re all relaxed. Timing is everything. If the
conversation begins to turn into an argument, you’d better calmly and coolly ask to stop the
conversation for now. 37． Listen to what your parents are saying, and repeat it back to them.
This shows them that you’re listening. 38． Respect is the building block of good
communication. People who respect each other and care about each others’ feelings can
disagree without getting things ugly. 39． How do you build trust? Trust comes by actually
doing what you say you’re going to do. Some teens find that doing fun activities with their
parents can improve their relationships. Sometimes we forget that parents are more than
rule-maker—they’re interesting people who like to watch movies and go shopping—just like
their teenagers!
What do you do if you are trying your best, but your relationship with your parents
continues to be rocky? 40． You can find supportive adults, such as a teacher or a coach, who
can lend an ear. Remember you can only change your own behavior. Your parents are the only
ones who can change theirs.
A．You may consider seeking outside help.
B．And then you’ll be able to accept what your parents say.
C．You can pick it up again when everyone’s more relaxed.
D．Faced with the challenge, children don’t know what to do.
E. And your desire to take control of your own life is growing.
F. It also gives them a chance to clear things up if they find you’re not on the same page.
G. You are more likely to get along with your parents and have more independence if your
parents believe in you.
