21、The weather was bad during the latter days of the voyage. A northwest wind was blowing all the time. The Rangoon sailed slowly. The captain thought that she would reach Hong Kong twenty hours behind time.

Phileas Fogg stared at rough sea with his habitual calm. He never changed his expression for an instant, though a delay (延迟) of twenty hours, by making him too late for the Yokohama boat—Carnatic. But this man showed neither impatience nor anger, it seemed as if the storm were a part of his programme.

Fix, a detective who had been searching for a bank robber (抢劫犯), viewed the state of things differently. The storm greatly pleased him. Each delay filled him with hope that Fogg had to spend some days in Hong Kong. The weather helped him. Though he felt sea-sick, his spirit was full of great happiness.

Passepartout. Mr. Fogg’s servant, was angry beyond expression about the bad weather. Everything had gone so well till now! Did the bad things come? Passepartout was very worried about his master's bet. He wanted to know exactly how long the storm was going to last. The sailors advised him to refer to the barometer( 晴雨表). He shook it, but with no effect It seemed to have no desire to rise.

On the 4th. the sea became calm. Passepartout cheered up! The sails were spread, and the Rangoon sailed at her full speed. The time lost could not, however, be gained again. Carnatic would, of course, be missed.

At six o'clock on the morning of the 6th,the pilot went on board and guided the Rangoon through the channels to the port of Hong Kong. Passepartout still wanted to ask him if Carnatic had left for Yokohama; but he dared not. Mr. Fogg. however, did not hesitate to approach the pilot.

“Do you know when a ship will leave for Yokohama?”

“At high tide tomorrow morning, ”answered the pilot

“What is the ship's name?”

“The‘Carnatic’”.

“Ought she not to have gone yesterday?”

“Yes, sir, but one of her boilers(锅炉)needs repairing.”

22、Today, roller skating is easy and fun. But a long time ago, it wasn’t easy at all. Before 1750, the idea of skating didn’t exist. That changed because of a man named Joseph Merlin. Merlin’s work was making musical instruments. In his spare time he liked to play the violin. Joseph Merlin was a man of ideas and dreams. People called him a dreamer.

One day Merlin received an invitation to attend a fancy dress ball. He was very pleased and a little excited. As the day of the party came near, Merlin began to think how to make a grand entrance at the party. He had an idea. He thought he would get a lot of attention if he could skate into the room.

Merlin tried different ways to make himself roll. Finally, he decided to put two wheels under each shoe. These were the first roller skates. Merlin was very proud of his invention and dreamed of arriving at the party on wheels while playing the violin.

On the night of the party Merlin rolled into the room playing his violin. Everyone was greatly surprised to see him. There was just one problem. Merlin had no way to stop his roller skates. He rolled on and on. Suddenly, he ran into a huge mirror that was hanging on the wall. Down fell the mirror, breaking to pieces. Nobody forgot Merlin’s grand entrance for a long time!

23、   Two years ago, my 11-year-old son sat me down for a talk.“Mom, it's time," he said.“Hear me out: It's time we got actual TV. And you need an iPhone.”

This funny conversation two years ago marked a shift in our relationship. Perhaps for the first time, I began to really listen to my son's opinion about our home technology. Since his reasoning was sound and his suggestions within budget, I took his advice and was pleasantly surprised with the results.

I'd known for a while that my son understands technology better than I do. On airplanes, he grabbed my phone to put it in airplane mode. He wired the speakers in our house. After something was stolen from our front yard, he picked out, set up, and now monitors our security camera. When my computer died, I took him shopping with me.

As a teenager now, he has a busy social life, with skateboarding, basketball, and online gaming with his friends. I see our time together waning and our shared interests shrinking. That's why I jumped at the chance when a friend mentioned writing technology reviews. I'm a writer, but I'd need a partner who has more tech knowledge than me. When I presented the idea to my teen, he immediately accepted.

It's changed our relationship in surprising ways. Where he used to get annoyed quickly at my technical ignorance, he's learned to be more patient and explain things to me in a way that I  can convey to an unknowing audience. The parent-child dynamic is not only changed; it's even slightly reversed(颠倒). He's leading me. I'm asking him for help and advice.

My son has risen to the occasion. He's taking it seriously, and to watch him mature in this way is an honor. As someone who's not much of a reader, he now searches instruction manuals. Without any prompting, he's even emailed and called-----yes, made an actual phone call to customer service or tech support when sample products weren't working as expected.

I never imagined being a tech reviewer, but it's proved to be a valuable way to learn from, work with, and enjoy time with my teen.

【1】What did the writer think of her son's advice?

A．It sounded sensible.

B．It was brainless.

C．It was childish.

D．It was useless

【2】What does the writer intend to do in Paragraph3?

A．Introduce the busy life her son is living.

B．Give examples of her son's interest in technology.

C．Prove her son's better command of technology.

D．Show her pride in her son's competence.

【3】What does the underlined word “waning” in Paragraph 4 mean?

A．Worsening.

B．Decreasing.

C．Freezing.

D．Hardening.

【4】What makes the writer feel honored?

A．Her son's patience to explain technical things.

B．Her son's control of the parent-child dynamic.

C．Her son's rich knowledge of technical terms.

D．Her son's careful attitude towards the work.

24、Spaghetti bolognese (意大利肉酱面) appeared to me during a Year 8 home science lesson. Our home teacher told the class to tie back our hair and start cutting the vegetables into pieces. Spaghetti bolognese made a world of difference to mealtimes.

This meal became a weekly food at our house - especially since the job of making spaghetti Bolognese fell to me or one of my three sisters, giving my mother a break from cooking. But finding that this “Italian” food was mouth-wateringly delicious and could be made in our own kitchen, wasn’t just happening at our house. In many places around the world, people were discovering just how delicious Italian food could be.

So by 2014, a survey done by the Germany-based company Apetito found that spaghetti bolognese was the third most popular dish eaten in their workplace cafeterias (自助餐厅). And in 2018, research in Britain to find out how new diets were changing what families ate at mealtimes, commissioned(委托) by British cooking appliance-maker Belling, discovered that spaghetti bolognese had won the competition and was the all-time favourite meal of Brits. “It has been interesting to see dishes, which we now consider very closely connected with family mealtimes, rising from relative unknown dishes, like everyone’s favourite spag bol, to take the top place,” said a Belling spokesperson at the time. This Italian favourite isn’t just popular in the West. In the 1980s, spaghetti bolognese was getting a workout in Malaysian home kitchens, according to chopinandmysaucepan. com, and is still often found on the menu of many local restaurants there.

However, not all Italians love what we’ve done to their cultural cuisine. Many pasta lovers rail at the idea that spaghetti bolognese is the same dish as ragù alla Bolognese, as it is known in Italy, or that it in fact comes from Bologna. In 2019, the then Bolognese mayor, Virginio Merola, started a debate on Twitter saying that it was not true that spaghetti bolognese originated from his great city. They believe the sauce should not be served with spaghetti.

【1】What purpose does the first paragraph serve?

A．To give suggestions on meals.

B．To remember a teacher.

C．To make a comparison.

D．To bring up the topic.

【2】How was the spaghetti bolognese in the author’s family?

A．It was hated by his mother.

B．It became a common dish.

C．It was an unaffordable dish.

D．It made him interested in cooking.

【3】What did both the survey in 2014 and the research in 2018 find?

A．Spaghetti bolognese was as acceptable in the West as it was in Malaysia.

B．Spaghetti bolognese totally changed people’s eating habits.

C．Spaghetti bolognese was unknown to most families.

D．Spaghetti bolognese had become popular.

【4】What can the underlined words “rail at” in the last paragraph be best replaced by?

A．Speak out against.

B．Come up with.

C．Believe in.

D．Toy with.
