21、Americans love to drive. They have drive — in movie theatres, drive — through restaurants and driving vacations. It’s often called the “Great American Road Trip”: Your whole family gets into a van or Recreational Vehicle (RV, 旅行房车), and hits the road for a summertime trip across the country.

American cars are always big, but RVs are the biggest. These are houses on wheels. RVs have kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms. All across the country you can find RV parks — place to park your RV and spend the night.

As big as RVs are, they still seem very small to a family who has to spend every hour of every day together. With your little brother kicking you in the face all night in your tiny bed under the table, the dog barking and Mom playing her country music on the radio, your family is not at its best. What’s worse, RVs are always breaking down. So it’s possible to spend a lot of time watching Dad under the RV on side of a dusty road.

But RV travel can be a great time with the family too. You can see the country in the comfort of your own “home”. You can spend every night in a different, natural and beautiful place, or just stay where you are. You don’t have to pay for hotels or restaurants, only gas. But, best of all, you are free to go wherever you want at any time in your home — away — from — home.

【1】RVs have the following EXCEPT ________.

A．bathrooms

B．bedrooms

C．kitchens

D．gardens

【2】Why do American people like to travel in RVs？

A．Because RVs can go faster than other cars.

B．Because they can play country music on the road.

C．Because RVs never break down on the road.

D．Because it’s like travelling in their own home.

【3】If you travel in RVs, you only have to pay for ________.

A．hotels

B．gas

C．food

D．drinks

【4】Which of the following is TRUE according to the article?

A．Travelling in RVs is more expensive than living in hotels.

B．RVs are big enough for families travelling together.

C．It is not difficult to find parking places for RVs and spend the night.

D．You can’t go anywhere you like when travelling in RVs.

【5】What’s the best title for the article?

A．Go to Travel in RVs

B．Go for a Trip Across the Country

C．A Family Trip

D．Americans Love to Drive

23、Siena is an old city in the north of Italy. It started with a group of people living on its hills over 2,900 years ago. Around the year 1100, Siena became an important business centre in Italy. In 1472, the first bank of the world was built in this city and has been doing business ever since.

Today Siena is famous for keeping its “old face”. For example, its city walls, which helped keep the city safe in the past, are hundreds of years old now and look almost the same as before. Also, many old buildings are seen at the Piazza del Campo, the most important meeting place of the city. Few things have really changed in this centre of public life for hundreds of years. Now people still go to the open space for sharing news, shopping, or playing sports. There is one more thing that helps keep Siena’s old face: cars cannot come into the city most of the time.

True, Siena is old, but it is beautifully old. People are welcome to visit this beautiful city and walk into the past.

【1】What is the best title for the reading?

24、Do you want to eat every delicious food in the world? Then do you watch the popular program? "A Bite of China(舌尖上的中国)" is a documentary on Chinese delicious food which has been broadcasted by Chinese central television. Is there any holiday that isn't celebrated with a special festival food? Here are several traditional Chinese foods.

Eggs hold a special meaning in many cultures. The Chinese believe eggs mean producing something new. After a baby is born, parents may hold a "red egg and ginger party," where they pass out eggs to announce the birth. In some areas of China the number of eggs represents(代表)the sex of the child, for example, an odd number(1,3,5,..) for a girl, and an even number(2,4,6…) for a boy .

Noodles are a symbol of long life in Chinese culture. They are a part of a Chinese birthday celebration as a birthday cake in many countries. Since noodles represent long life, it is considered very unlucky to cut it off. 　　

In China a whole fish is a symbol of richness. In fact, at a party it is traditional to serve the whole fish last. Fish also has a special meaning because the Chinese word for fish sounds like the word for richness or plenty, and it is believed that eating fish will help your wishes come true in the year to come.

A very popular dish during the Dragon Boat Festival is Zongzi. This tasty dish is made of rice dumplings with meat, peanuts or other delicious food in bamboo leaves. Zongzi will remind us of the great man Qu Yuan.

The 50-minute program tries to bring something new by presenting more cultural elements(元素),such as eating habits and the quality of eating.
