21、Chinese audiences seemed not to have been satisfied with the third season of the highly anticipated food documentary A Bite of China.

Even though the series has maintained high viewership ratings since its comeback last week, much higher than other programs aired at the same time, the ranking on Douban, a social networking website featuring films, literature and events, slipped to 4.2 out of 10, as of Tuesday, compared with 9.3 and 8.4, respectively, for the first two seasons.

Picky viewers complain that some of the narration is not accurate, while others pinpoint misleading content. At the same time, food blogger @barbara questioned whether it is appropriate to give a close-up shot of the poisonous plant Nandina(南天竺)in a food program.

A Bite of China, which debuted in 2012, became hugely popular nationwide for its quality introduction of some rarely-known and mouth-watering domestic cuisine. In the new show, however, watchers are not satisfied with “irrelevant” food references, such as lipsticks made of Chinese traditional medicine and martial arts master.

The first episode introduced a hand-made iron frying pan from east China’s Shandong province, which prompted thousands of Chinese Internet users to buy one from China’s leading e-commerce website Tmall in the next few days. Sales of the pan at “Zhensanhuan” surged 6,000 times compared with a year ago, according to Beijing Youth Daily.

In response to overwhelming criticism and questions, A Bite of China production crew responded on Weibo that they seek innovation despite the risks following the first two phenomenal seasons.

“It is unavoidable to make comparisons with the first two, and some audiences may not accept the changes,” the crew said. “We explore the culture and civilization behind food, and give food a historic touch. That’s why we feature culinary(烹饪的)tools, feast and rituals, as well as a healthy diet to show Chinese wisdom and philosophy, which has not been shown in any food programs before.”

【1】Why does the passage mention Nandina?

A．Because some of the narration is not accurate.

B．Because it may be improper to give a close-up shot of a poisonous plant.

C．Because it is misleading content.

D．Because it is not attractive at all to most picky viewers.

【2】Which of the following elements leads to viewers’ dissatisfaction with the new show?

A．some mouth-watering domestic cuisines

B．food-unrelated items

C．some rarely-known cuisines

D．the increasing sales of the pan at “Zhensanhuan”

【3】According to its production crew, what is unique to ‘A Bite of China III’?

A．It makes comparisons with the first two episodes.

B．It tells the story of some martial arts related to food.

C．It receives overwhelming criticism and questions from audience.

D．It focuses on cooking tools, rituals and healthy eating.

【4】What is the best the title for the passage?

A．'A Bite of China III' Draws Criticism from Audiences

B．'A Bite of China III' Maintains High Viewership Ratings

C．'A Bite of China III' Changes for the Worse

D．'A Bite of China III' Explains its Purposes

22、   The pub is a great British invention. Here, experts pick their favourites for Sunday lunch, picturesque settings, craft beer, history and more.

Free Trade Inn, Newcastle

House favourites

Fyne Ales Jarl, 3.8%

Scream for Pizza food truck, every Wednesday, £5 (if pre-booked)

Moors and oceans are great, but looking up the Tyne towards the city’s bowed bridges from this pub in Ouseburn is another kind of delight. It is especially exciting at sunset, as the Instagrammers and amateur photographers of north-east England have discovered — city lights gleaming(闪烁) against Miami Vice skies.

The Angel on the Bridge, Henley-on-Thames

House favourites

Brakspear Bitter, 3.4%

Slow-roast belly pork, £13.50

For those who prefer their views more landscaped than wild. The river is peaceful, the ducks entertaining, the air clean, and sunsets and mist keep the view varied all year round. The pub even has its own moorings for people with boats.

Duke of Marlborough, Suffolk

House favourites

Adnams Dry Hopped Lager, 4.2%

Braised beef cheek, £13.50

Time has a habit of leaving its trace on village pubs and the Duke is no different. Originally built as a medieval hall house, it became an inn during the 17th century. With the help of what is obviously a very active community , the pub is a lively place attracting drinkers, foodies and families with kids . Help yourself to dog biscuits if you bring your best friend.

The Bevy, Brighton

House favourites

Harvey’s Sussex Best Bitter, 4%

Sunday roast, £7.95

In 2010, what was then the Bevendean pub was closed by the police due to a series of antisocial incidents. Four years later it reopened as the Bevy, after locals bought it and carried out essential works. The whole project is an example of how an urban pub in an unfashionable area can be saved.

23、Trying to stand out from millions of videos on the social networking platform Douyin can often be difficult, but a relatively new account(帐号), which has only been active since last year, has managed to do so easily.

The star behind this account is not a young woman with a slim figure, but a 70-year-old woman. Within just a few months Chen Jifang has attracted over 400, 000 followers with her energetic workouts (锻炼). She was once even featured on a reality show on CCTV.

"The main group that I wanted to encourage was people aging 30 to 50," says Chen. "I think they will be encouraged to work out after seeing that a granny like me can. It is never too late to pursue(追求)good health."

Chen's passion for exercising was born out of a need instead of desire to become famous. Her health had been poor since she was a child. In 2018, she was diagnosed with a lot of problems such as a fatty liver and hyperlipidemia(高血脂). The doctor suggested that she exercise more to stop the further decline of her already poor health.

Overweight Chen started with light jogging, but a fitness coach persuaded her to enter a gym on Dec 29, 2018. "Everyone in the gym was young. They were giving me curious looks," recalls Chen, who walks 3.5 kilometers to the gym every day.

Her daily training started at 8 am with 50 pushups(俯卧撑)and running. After a short break at 9 am, Chen continued working out until 3 pm. She hit the gym every day in 2019. She also gave up her favorite foods like barbecued meats and spicy hotpot.

When her health improved, Chen did more challenging workouts like weightlifting. Three months later, she lost 28 kilograms. Her health index also returned to normal.

"We cannot stop aging, but exercise can slow it down," she says. "Instead of spending money on medicine, it is better to spend money on fitness."

【1】What is the purpose of the first paragraph?

A．To attract the interest of readers

B．To encourage readers to work out

C．To persuade readers to download Douyin

D．To introduce a social network platform

【2】Why did Chen decide to work out?

A．Because she wanted to encourage middle-aged women to work out

B．Because she wanted to be featured in a reality show on CCTV

C．Because she wanted to attract more fans

D．Because her health was in bad condition

【3】The underlined word "hit" means________.

A．visited

B．struck.

C．became famous

D．defeated

【4】What is the title of this passage?

A．Easy to stand out through Douyin.

B．Better to Spend Money on Fitness.

C．This Granny stands out for workouts.

D．Lose Weight Before You Are Old.

24、Most heroes are not super. They don’t appear in comic books, on television, or in movies. They just do what they believe needs to be done to make their world a better place. Bike Batman is one of them.

Bike Batman is a 30-year-old married engineer who lives in Seattle, Washington. He’s a cyclist who also buys and sells bikes as a hobby.

About three years ago, he was looking for a bike for his wife. He found one on Craigslist, a website where people list things they want to sell. As he often does, he also looked at Bike Index, a popular website that allows users to register their bikes and post reports when they’re taken. The bike, which he was considering purchasing, clearly matched one reported stolen on Bike Index. Then he called the person who claimed to be the bike’s owner and arranged to meet him— supposedly to complete the sale. When the two men met, Bike Batman told the thief, “You’ve got two options. You can wait until a police officer gets here, or you can just get out of here.” You can imagine what the thief did.

After that first success, Bike Batman developed a safer routine. When he sees questionable bike ads on Craigslist, he cross references the image with bikes reported on Bike Index. Once he has confirmed it with the owner, he arranges a meet-up with the thief and will call the Seattle police department so that officers can participate in the action. In more than half of the 22 cases in which he has got back and returned bikes, the thieves have been arrested. In one case, Bike Batman even helped a family recover a wide range of prized possessions that suspects had stolen during a home burglary.

His nickname came from a discussion with a police officer who suggested he be called “Robin Hood”. Since he wasn’t exactly stealing from the rich and giving to the poor, “Batman” seemed a better fit. The idea of a superhero punishing criminals feels pretty silly to him, but the main reason he continues his work is to keep up Seattle’s reputation as a friendly city.

【1】Bike Batman is ________.

A. a superhero   B. a website manager

C. a Seattle citizen   D. a police officer

【2】When Bike Batman discovers a questionable bike, he will first _____.

A. contact the owner of the stolen bike   B. look up the bike’s information

C. call the police department   D. arrange to meet the thief

【3】Bike Batman helps find the lost bikes to ________.

A. become famous   B. help poor people

C. punish bike thieves   D. build a friendly city

【4】From the passage, we can learn that ________.

A. Bike Batman felt relieved to see the thieves arrested

B. Bike Batman began his good deeds by accident

C. the police failed to perform their duties

D. the thieves refused to return the bikes

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

It was my winter break. I was engaged in a cycle race, my favorite hobby, with my friends. But that day I fell down and got scratches(划伤)on the face and leg. I wanted to hide it from my mother, because I was worried that my scratches would make her upset and she would scold(责备)me.

My mother had always taught me not to tell lies and not to hide anything from her even if I was wrong. But then I could not have enough courage to face her. So I wanted to go to sleep early, not because I was sleepy, but just to try to escape from my mother. I knew she was a sweet mom, but fear was pulling me back. I lay on my bed and tried to sleep.

My mother came to me and asked,“Dear, what happened? Why are you sleeping so early today? Eat something. I have made delicious pizza for you, which is your favourite. Come, get up.”

She was trying to pull me from my bed.I was worried and upset. I replied,“Mom, please don’t trouble me. I don’t like your pizzas. Your pizzas are really not very tasty. I want to sleep.“I saw a shadow of sadness on my mother’s face and turned my head from her.

I knew I was not being truthful to her. My teacher had taught me in school that we had to be truthful. My mother had always told me so many stories with good moral values. Thinking of all that, my eyes filled up with tears.

As I tried to sleep, my mother was again insisting that she would tell me a good story so that I could sleep peacefully. But still I did not want to turn my head to her.   I replied,“I don’t like your stories, Mom. Those are not interesting.”

She did not reply. She just touched my forehead. Slowly I fell asleep with a heavy heart, without giving a good night kiss to my mum.
