26、Why do Chinese people love hot pot so much? As the winter months are coming in, more and more people are sitting around a table enjoying this kind of traditional meal. I find myself wondering what it is about this traditional meal, which has existed for more than 1, 000 years. What makes it a Chinese food favorite? It seems that the answer lies beyond the dish itself.

Hot pot isn’t just designed to keep you warm during the cold months; it’s also a social experience. It’s a “theater” cooked food that turns a meal into an event. There is a lot of fun for everyone to have in adding some foods to the hot pot.

Hot pot is eaten not less than two hours. For this reason, it is often considered an evening’s entertainment, and a time to spend with friends and families. However, many Westerners would be put off by the idea of other people sticking chopsticks in their food. When we come to eat at the table in the UK, we often have our own shares, although the experience is still a social one.

A similar experience to the hot pot can be found in Korean barbecue restaurants, which let you cook your own meat. This allows people to have their meat done however they want.

For most Westerners, the idea of going to a restaurant to cook their own food is very strange. But having a go, I find it’s now one of my favorite meals in Beijing. The steam from the pot left my clothes smelling of food when I got home, but perhaps this was also part of the experience. When the cold wind is blowing outside, I am sitting around with my good friends, eating and drinking. For me it’s like a dinner party where my taste buds (味蕾) and my appetite are equally satisfied in the warm company of friends.

【1】What is the main reason why hot pot is popular in China?

A．It has a history of over 1, 000 years.

B．It is a fun social experience.

C．It serves people with many kinds of foods.

D．It keeps people very warm in winter.

【2】How long do people spend in enjoying the traditional meal?

A．More than three hours.

B．less than two hours.

C．at least two hours.

D．All the evening.

【3】We can conclude from the article that British people generally ________.

A．enjoy cooking their own food in restaurants

B．prefer a Korean barbecue to Chinese hot pot

C．don’t like sharing food with others in restaurants

D．don’t mind the smell of food staying on their clothes

【4】What is the author’s attitude to hot pot?

A．Serious.

B．Unconcerned.

C．Humorous.

D．Appreciative.

27、As parents, we walk a fine line between caring for our children and teaching them how to care for themselves. When they're little, they need our help with everything. Over time, kids usually take the lead on things like feeding and dressing themselves, but it can be difficult to know when it's time for them to start doing some basic things, such as packing their own lunches for school or solving problems with teachers without a parent's help.

Blogger Amy Carney recently shared a post about the things parents should stop doing for their teens. In it, Carney shared the basic skills that she expects her kids to master by the time they hit 13, such as waking themselves up in the morning, making their own breakfast and lunch, and finishing their own homework.

Barb Harvey, a childhood behavior expert, gave me her answer: The age at which children learn to master certain skills will be different depending upon the maturity (成熟) and interest level of the child.

I asked the same question among my friends. They gave all kinds of answers, which can explain Harvey's opinion.

Therefore, there's only one expert who can determine when your kids have the ability to deal with certain skills, and that's you. If your kids aren't ready to pack their own lunches — don't sweat it. Help them learn the skills they're ready to deal with and keep working towards the end goal of raising responsible and able adults. Because if there's one thing that we can all agree on as parents, it's that time moves quickly when you're raising kids. One day you will wish they could just do things without you and the next day, you will feel upset that they do.

【1】What is Amy Carney's expectation when her children are 13?

A．To be a skillful cook.

B．To follow Harvey's opinion.

C．To be an expert.

D．To have basic skills.

【2】Who can decide when the children will learn to care for themselves?

A．Amy Carney.

B．Barb Harvey.

C．The children.

D．The parents.

【3】Why will parents feel upset when their children grow up?

A．Their kids can do nothing.

B．They feel less important.

C．Their children become able adults.

D．Their kids disagree on anything.

【4】What does the text mainly talk about?

A．Walking a fine line.

B．Blogger Amy Carney.

C．Parents and their children's growth.

D．A childhood behavior expert.

28、Gardeners may be able to cut down on the amount of weeds(杂草）killer they use by dealing with invaders at specific times of the day, such as dawn, a new study suggests.

Researchers at the University of Bristol have discovered that the 24-hour rhythms of plants leave them more defenseless to herbicides(除草剂) at different points in their daily 24 hour cycle.

They believe the findings could help farmers by reducing crop loss and improving harvests. And gardeners could benefit from knowing which weeds respond better at certain times of the day. In recent years, pesticides and herbicides have been implicated in the decline of important pollinating insects, such as bees.

Dr Antony Dodd，senior author of the new study，said: “The research suggests that, in future, we might be able to improve the use of some chemicals that are used in agriculture by taking advantage of the biological clock in plants.

Just like humans, plants have evolved to take advantage of cycles of night and day, with certain biological processes turning on at different times of the day.

Scientists have discovered that many drugs work much better in humans if they are given at specific hours. Aspirin, for example, has doubled the impact on thinning the blood if taken at night as opposed to in the morning. The process is known as ‘chronotherapy’ and researchers wanted to find out if the same concept could be applied to plants.

Many gardeners already know that plants drink in more water in the morning because their pores(气孔) are open to take advantage of early morning dew and water vapour. At the break of the day, plants are also not busy producing food throughphotosynthesis(光和作用）.The open pores could also be the reasons that chemicals are more effective at dawn and also at dusk.

The air is also likely to be stiller at dawn and dusk, meaning that pesticides or herbicides are less likely to be blown away to places where they are not wanted. Pesticide labels often warn against spraying on windy days in case they endanger people or animals. Many insects are active early in the morning and around dusk, also making very early morning and early evening effective times for insecticide.

Commenting on the study, Dr. Trevor Dines, Botanical Specialist at the conservation charity Plantlife, said: “This is fascinating research which will be of great interest to many gardeners like me. If anything used to think the opposite was true - that applying herbicides and pesticides late in the day would be better as they’d remain in Vet contact' with the plant for longer in the cool of the night and therefore be taken up or absorbed more effectively. This research knocks that assumption on its head”

【1】Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “implicated in” in the third paragraph?

A．restored to

B．blamed for

C．limited to

D．composed of

【2】According to the research, what are the reasons for using herbicides in the morning?

A．The process of photosynthesis is most active in the morning.

B．Insects are more defenseless in the morning than any other time of the day.

C．Bigger pores on the plants make herbicides work more effectively.

D．The stronger morning wind blows pesticides away to more places.

【3】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A．Gardeners were interested in combining science with gardening.

B．A long time had passed before herbicide was applied in farming.

C．The old assumption about the use of chemicals proved right.

D．Many gardeners used to spray herbicides at the wrong time.

【4】What is the main idea of this article?

A．New chemicals have been found to help kill harmful insects.

B．Biological clock of plants could help gardeners use less weed killer.

C．Plants’ cycles can be taken advantage of to improve the environment.

D．The research on the effects of pesticides has enabled good harvests.

29、Mrs. Hill was an English teacher at the new middle school I attended in the eighth grade. She wasn’t my teacher but I loved being around her and enjoyed her kindness. She was also a good listener.

At the end of the year, she was moving to Florida, and I was sad. We exchanged addresses and became pen friends. I could tell her anything, and she treated me with respect even though I was a schoolboy.

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Health Workers Aim to Save Lives of Mothers, Babies with Smartphone Data

A new project in India and Uganda is aimed at helping health workers save the lives of mothers and babies with information from electronic devices.

The $100 million project is 【1】 by the Rockefeller Foundation, the World Health Organization, UNICEF, the World Bank and other groups. Officials plan to 【2】 the project to a total of 10 countries. The goal is to 【3】 the premature deaths of 6 million women and children by 2030.

Raj Shah is president of the Rockefeller Foundation, which leads the project. The group is providing $60 million of the $100 million 【4】 cost. Shah said the plan is to give health workers low-cost tools to help them gather the information they need to help communities and families most at risk.

The project will provide 【5】 such as real-time risk maps to help health workers reach mothers and children. Workers also will be able to study non-health data on climate or social media patterns to predict and prepare for local disease 【6】 or health emergencies.

Shah told Reuters, "A few years ago, these community health workers had no real technology ... today the vast majority of them have smartphones with data and software technologies in their hands --- and with those, we can help them do their work better."

A U.N. report published last week 【7】 that more women and newborn babies survive now than ever before. But the report said that a baby or a 【8】 woman still dies every 11 seconds somewhere in the world.

Deaths of mothers are nearly 50 times higher for women in sub-Saharan Africa than in 【9】 countries. The report also found that babies in Sub-Saharan Africa are 10 times more 【10】 to die in their first month of life.
