21、   The Sanxingdui Museum in southwest China’s Sichuan Province enjoyed huge popularity during the three-day Qingming Festival holidays by receiving nearly 20,000 visitors on the peak day, after the new archaeological discoveries brought international attention.

According to media reports, the museum saw over 15,000 visitors on Saturday, the first day of the Qingming Festival, breaking its record for daily visitors. And on the next day, more visitors flooded into the museum to exceed 19,800. To cope with the large flow of people, on Sunday afternoon, the official Weibo account of the Sanxingdui Museum released advice to visitors to reschedule their visiting time and travel off peak.

The Sanxingdui Museum showcases various kinds of precious cultural relics unearthed at the site, such as the 2.62-meter-tall standing statue, 1.38-meter-wide bronze mask, 3.95-meter-high bronze tree.

The ruins were first discovered in the late 1920s and first excavated in 1934. More than 500 important cultural relics have been unearthed in the six newly-found pits.

The museum said although they are open as usual, the newly-found pits have not opened to the public yet and the newly-excavated cultural relics are still under repair and cannot meet the public at present. But a hall for cultural relic conservation and repair will be in pilot operation in April and officially open on May 18. Visitors to it can see how the relics are repaired, according to Zhu Yarong, vice director of the Sanxingdui Museum.

22、   When my grandmother died at the age of 96, there were two things she left behind in abundance — nearly 100 photo albums documenting decades of travel and home life, and a dozen quilts, one of which my mother gave me.

Quilting is the process of sewing together fabric (布料) to make one large piece of fabric. In my family, quilting and sewing is a tradition that has been passed down through the generations. My mother says her great-grandmother would occasionally travel around New York State to sew clothing for other families.

In the United States, quilting was a craft (手艺) that started as a necessity and eventually became much more. In 1862, the U.S. government offered millions of acres of land to Americans who wanted to move west. This allowed families to settle on land that they could eventually own. They often built their own homes and lived off the vegetables in their gardens and the livestock they had. Sewing was very important for women because they were responsible for clothing their families and keeping them warm.

Quilting also became a chance for women to socialize with each other. They would gather for so-called “quilting bees”, where they would meet and work on one quilting project together. This provided a much-needed relief from the lonely life of living on a large piece of land.

Throughout history, the different patterns on American quilts have conveyed all kinds of information. From them, we can tell where a person lived, what region of the world they originated from, or sometimes a story is told in pictures on a quilt. Even today, women still gather to quilt together in a show of friendship and a love for the craft, just like the old days. My sister has tried quilting a few times, and hopefully, her two daughters may one day continue this family tradition.

【1】What do we know about quilting?

A.It is a lost traditional craft.

B.It is a major means of making a living in the USA.

C.It is a craft that has become a cultural symbol.

D.It was a way to carry on the American history.

【2】What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3?

A.Introduce a new topic for discussion.

B.Summarize the previous paragraphs.

C.Add some background information.

D.Praise the U.S. government’s policy.

【3】What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 4 refer to?

A.Working on the land. B.Participating in “quilting bees”.

C.Clothing the family. D.Designing a quilting project.

【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A.Quilting patterns can convey limited information.

B.Quilting can’t meet the need to socialize nowadays.

C.Quilting is not a tradition in the author’s family.

D.The author hopes quilting can be passed on to younger generations.

23、   The Cassini-Huygens space probe, which reached Saturn last week has sent back amazing photographs of the planet's famous rings viewed in ultraviolet light. 【1】 The different colors show exactly what the rings are. The red means the ring contains tiny pieces of rock and the blue and green is likely to be a mixture of water and frozen gases. 【2】 That's why it is so light and it could float on water—if a big enough ocean could be found!

【3】 It aims to explore the planet and its rings and moons. It was launched in 1997 and its mission was to explore the “gas giant” planet, which is the furthest planet to be seen from the Earth without a telescope.

Scientists say the spacecrafts four-year tour of Saturn may tell them how the rings are formed. 【4】

The probe has sent back pictures of some of Saturn's moons, including Phoebe and Titan. Phoebe has a strange shape. 【5】 Saturn's biggest moon, Titan, is believed to be the only body in the solar system other than the Earth with liquid on the surface. The images of Phoebe and Titan look strangely like photos of the Earth and our own moon, taken decades ago by the earliest space missions.

A．Saturn itself is made of gases.

B．The pictures are hard to take in space.

C．The probe is an international space project.

D．They will discover more secrets about the spacecraft.

E．The pictures show them in shades of blue, green and red.

F．It will also study the planet's atmosphere and magnetic field.

26、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

Tucker stood by the back door and considered the winter sky: ice blue and not a single cloud. His breath made steamy circles in the air.

“I don’t think today’s the day, Tuck. We have to wait for the snow.” His father walked up beside him and looked outside. Then he walked off toward the basement door.

Tucker looked across the backyard of his family’s new house. Just beyond some pine trees, the flat ground pushed upward into a steep and empty hillside. Dad had promised that the hill would be perfect for sledding.

Tucker’s brand-new sled (雪橇板) rested in the corner of his room, sandwiched between his dresser and train table. It was perfect. He was sure it would be superfast. If only it would snow.

Tucker kicked gently at the door, then turned and went to look for his elder brother. Paul was in his usual spot, controller in hand, working his way through a video game.

“Hi, Paul.” Tucker sat down beside his brother. No response. “I said, ‘Hi!’” He tried speaking louder this time. “Sorry, Tuck. I’m at level ten. Later, OK?” Paul’s eyes remained glued to the screen. Tucker sighed and got up.

Tucker went down to the basement and found his father surrounded by piles of flattened cardboard (硬纸板) boxes. “Can you play knights (骑士) with me, Dad?” Tucker asked. His father looked over the wall of boxes and told him he had promised to get all these boxes broken down and ready for recycling. Tucker sighed. Suddenly, he got an idea.

“Dad, can I have some boxes and some duct tape (胶带)?” Tucker asked. His father smiled, grabbed the duct tape and tossed (扔) it to Tucker. “Have fun.”

Despite the cold, Tucker was sweating from carrying a mountain of cardboard into the backyard.

Paul appeared and asked, “What are you up to?” “Oh, good. I need help cutting the duct tape.” Tucker threw the sticky silver tape roll to his brother.

An hour later, Tucker and Paul stood, with a cardboard sled, on top of the hill under the fading January sun.

Para 1: “Do you think it will work?” Paul asked as he handed Tucker his sled.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Para 2: “That’s so cool! Your turn!” Tucker collapsed (倒) next to Paul, breathless.
