22、I will never forget the first dessert class at a cooking school in France, where a group of anxious dessert students (myself included) were tasked with preparing an apple pie. It looked simple enough, but I soon realized that it was as far from simple as it could be. However, my knife and I mastered this French classic, as well as dozens of others.

After graduating, I found a job at a modern American restaurant in Florida. Despite the restaurant’s tiny kitchen, I was excited to work under Sylvia, the executive chef (主厨). The first job she gave me was to make apple pies. I couldn’t have been more excited — until I realized these pies were actually in the form of a dumpling. But my education had made me stick to French tradition. It took me a minute to get comfortable with this way of cooking again. Slowly, I was forgetting my French tradition, and beginning to go with the flow more. The response from diners was good. Our desserts were sold out on most days.

Then one day, chef Sylvia gave me the chance to make a new dessert and planned to add it to the menu for a week. Surprised and touched by the chance, I decided to go all out. I created a seasonal citrus mousse (柑橘慕斯) made with Florida oranges and pistachio croquant (a crisp, delicate cookie). But after a week, the apple pie dumplings continued to far outsell my special dessert. A sense of frustration went inside of me.

It finally made me aware that there isn’t one “right” way to understand a cuisine, or set of ingredients (配料). Where one chef can look at apples, butter, and flour and see a French apple pie, another might see baked apple dumplings. Even though each person’s translation may be different, I think they all deserve a spot on the table. And that was the most important lesson I discovered, through something as seemingly simple as fruit and dough (生面团).

【1】What makes the author feel surprised according to paragraph 2?

A．The tiny kitchen.

B．The shape of apple pies.

C．The restaurant’s tradition.

D．The French way of coking.

【2】How was the author’s new dessert?

A．It wasn’t popular as expected.

B．It was thought highly of by Sylvia.

C．It was removed from the menu.

D．It built up the author‘s confidence.

【3】What did the author finally realize?

A．Foods stand for cultures.

B．Ingredients matter to cooking.

C．There is no fixed way for cooking.

D．Understanding a cuisine is necessary.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A．A job affecting one’s life.

B．A new dessert on the menu.

C．A special class at a cooking school.

D．A lesson taken as a dessert chef.

23、Tu Youyou, the 85-year-old Chinese pharmacologist（药理学家），received the Nobel Prize for medicine in Stockholm on December 10,2015. Tu is the first Chinese Nobel winner in physiology（生理学）or medicine. Also, in 2011, she became the first Chinese person to receive the US-based Lasker Award for clinical medicine.

Based on a fourth-century Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) text, together with her team, she managed to get artemisinin(青蒿素）from sweet wormwood through trial and error and developed an important drug that has significantly reduced death rates among patients suffering from malaria. Tu delivered a speech titled Artemisinin is a Gift from TCM to the World. She has urged more research into the benefits of traditional Chinese medicine and called for joint efforts worldwide to fight against malaria and develop more potential uses for TCM, which she called a "great treasure" with thousands of years' history and empirical knowledge. She said that by combining TCM with modem scientific technologies, "more potential can be discovered in searching for new drugs " .

According to the WHO, more than 240 million people in sub-Saharan Africa have benefited from artemisinin, and more than l. 5 million lives are estimated to have been saved since 2000 thanks to the drug. Apart from its contribution to the global fight against malaria, TCM played a vital role in the deadly outbreak of SARS across China in 2003.

Besides treating viruses, TCM has been most effective in diagnosing diseases, cultivating fitness, treating difficult multisource illnesses, and using nonmedical methods such as acupuncture (钟刺疗法) and breathing exercises.

However, TCM, which is based on a set of beliefs about human biology, is seldom understood or accepted by the West. Tu's success will bring more recognition and respect for TCM, experts say. The Western world should learn to appreciate the value of the treasures of TCM, which will lead to more basic scientific research into ancient TCM texts and ways to explore research findings worldwide.

【1】In this passage the author mentions _ prize( s) that Tu Youyou received.

A. one   B. two   C. three   D. four

【2】The underlined word "malaria" in Paragraph 2 refers to "a kind of ".

A. medicine   B. animal. C. plant D. disease

【3】What can we learn from the passage?

A. This success may encourage Easterners to learn more about Chinese medicine.

B. Nothing remains to be done in researching into TCM theories and texts.

C. More research into the value of TCM should be carried out worldwide.

D. TCM only contributes to the fight against malaria and SARS in China.

【4】What's the passage mainly about?

A. TCM is based on thousands of years of practice in China.

B. Nobel winner, Tu Youyou, strongly supports TCM research.

C. Artemisinin is now widely used to fight against Malaria.

D. Westerners will appreciate the value of the treasures of TCM.

24、Images of polar bears struggling to stay on rafts of ice are often used by groups that want to promote conservation and stop the deterioration of natural habitats. However, part of the solution lies with the polar bears themselves.

Polar bears are highly specialized. This means they have adapted to survive in a specific region and eat specific food. Polar bears live above the Arctic Circle and eat fish. Their bodies are different from those of other types of bears. Polar bears feature webbed feet for swimming, thicker fur and more body fat for living and swimming in icy conditions, and light-colored fur to help them blend into their environment. As a result, polar bears do not do well when they are in a non-arctic region. They cannot run as well as other bears, they can become too hot and tired easily, and they have a hard time hunting animals that are not in the snow or ice.

Unfortunately for polar bears, climate change is reducing the size of the areas where they can live. This means the bears will eventually have to leave the arctic regions and travel farther south. However, because they are so specialized, it is unlikely that polar bears will be as strong as they once were.

Other creatures, such as crocodiles, are not nearly as specialized. They live on almost every continent and in a wide variety of climates. In fact, crocodiles are one of the most adaptable animals on the planet and have survived for millions of years. When animals specialize, they often do better than less-specialized species in the same place, but if the climate or other conditions change, the specialized animals are usually the first to die off.

If polar bears are going to survive the next 100 years, they will have to adapt. Many scientists believe that polar bears may eventually cross paths with brown bears and black bears. Whether these animals fight it out or fall in love to create new generations of bears remains to be seen. No matter how it happens, many hope the polar bears will live far into the future－in many different places.

【1】Which of the following is an effect of polar bear specialization?

A．Polar bears are not in danger of dying off.

B．Polar bears fight other bears for food.

C．Polar bears adapt to new habitats.

D．Polar bears hunt well in arctic areas.

【2】The example of crocodiles is used to show________.

A．the cause of climate change

B．the importance of adaptability

C．the history of biological evolution

D．the changes of natural environment

【3】Which detail about polar bears best explains why they are comfortable in icy water?

A．The color of their fur.

B．Their tendency to easily overheat.

C．Their more body fat and thicker fur.

D．Their ability to travel on ice rafts.

【4】If they cannot adapt to climate change in the Arctic, polar bears will________.

A．no longer exist

B．find a colder place to live in

C．live in the south of the Arctic Circle

D．act more like brown and black bears
