21、In Thailand, gai yang—or grilled chicken—might not sound like the most extraordinary dish. Yet the necessity for customers to order it days ahead in Sila Sutharat's food stall (小摊) if they want to try some is a proof that ordinary things done creatively are far more attractive than extraordinary things done ordinarily,

One day, I stopped by a place where a man named Sila Sutharat was grilling chickens in perhaps the most extraordinary way possible. Unlike the coal-fire-licked chickens that are so common in Thailand, Sutharat's was cooked with the extraordinary heat source: the sun.

About 60 miles from Thailand's capital city Bangkok, Sutharat's solar grill—a huge, adjustable wall of polished mirrors—could be seen standing out from among the trees on a small side road. Depending on the time, you might see Sutharat standing in the back adjusting the chickens that sat at the center of the focused light—estimated to exceed temperatures of 200℃.

He was inspired, by chance, in 1999, when a tour bus with reflective side mirrors drove past while he was walking to his former food stall. Surprised by the heat given off, he was soon exploring ways to use mirrors to grll chickens.

It might seem a basic principle of physics to me, but Sutharat's creation had not always been a smooth sailing. "My wife thought I was stupid. The neighbors said I was crazy, "Sutharat said of the early days of trial and error. The first grill was built with 300 mirrors, but it didn't cook the food fast enough and struggled with cloud cover. So Sutharat decided to increase the number of mirrors to 1, 000 until a whole gai yang could be cooked in 12 to 15 minutes.

Without any of the usual blackened skin, the flavors of the chickens are far more pronounced. Actually, more and more people have noticed the difference. These days, you'll have to order days ahead if you want to try some.

【1】What has made Sila Sutharat's food stall so special?

A．The unique kind of heat.

B．The high temperature of the grill.

C．The huge size of the grill

D．The good position of the food stall.

【2】What does the author think of the working principle of Sutharat's grill?

A．Stupid.

B．Creative.

C．Complex.

D．Simple.

【3】What does the underlined word "pronounced" in the last paragraph mean?

A．Disgusting.

B．Different.

C．Strange.

D．Bitter.

【4】What is the author's purpose in writing the text?

A．To explain how to grill Thai chickens.

B．To advertise the delicious grilled chickens.

C．To introduce Sila Sutharat's extraordinary gai yang.

D．To help his friend attract more tourists to his restaurant.

23、   Smooth balls of ice rolled ashore on a beach in Finland and piled up like a huge bunch of turtles' eggs. But where did these “ice eggs” come from?

Amateur photographer Risto Mattila stumbled upon the strange sight while walking with his wife on Hailuoto Island. The temperature remained around minus 1degree Celsius that day, he said, and the wind blew quickly across the beach. “There we found this amazing phenomenon. There was snow and ice eggs along the beach near the water line”.

The “ice eggs” littered an area the length of about one-quarter of a football field and ranged in size from that of an average chicken egg to that of a powerful soccer ball. Mattila took a photo, noting that he had “never seen anything like this during 25 years around here.” Others came upon the ice eggs, too. “I've never seen this before. The whole beach was almost full of these ice balls,” said Tarja Terentjeff, who lives in the nearby town of Oulu. Another local, Sirpa Tero, told CNN she’d seen snowballs line the shoreline before, but not over such a large area.

“Although it happens once in a blue moon, these ice eggs form similarly to sea glass or rounded stones that wash up on the beach.” said BBC Weather expert George Goodfellow. Chunks(块) of ice break off from larger ice sheets in the sea and either slide to shore on the incoming tide or get pushed in by strong spells of wind at the water' s surface, he explained. Waves buffet(冲击) the ice chunks as they travel, slowly eroding their rough edges into smooth curves. Seawater sticks and freezes to the forming eggs, causing them to grow like snowballs do as they roll across the ground, leaving behind nothing but smooth and shiny “eggs” for curious tourists to happen upon.

【1】The underlined phrase “stumbled upon” in Paragraph 2 can be best replaced by_ _

A.pulled through B.survived from

C.ran across D.took notes of

【2】What can we know from Paragraph 3?

A.It was a very unusual phenomenon. B.Ice eggs gathered in a football field.

C.Only a quarter of the area was stricken. D.The beach was completely ice-covered.

【3】According to Goodfellow, how did the “ice eggs” come into being?

A.By means of sea water buffeting the wood chunks.

B.On the basis of the strong force of the cold wind.

C.By way of the special location and cold weather.

D.Through a rare combination of weather and waves.

【4】What does the text mainly talk about?

A.An extraordinary trip of “ice eggs”. B.The power of wind and seawater.

C.A strange weather-based occurrence. D.How snowball affected the shoreline.

24、Believe it or not! We are half way into 2022. Like many people, you probably made a New Year’s decision to finally get fit and stay fit. You got really motivated, bought new workout clothes and got off to a great start. But by April or May, you may have lost your steam. 【1】, they are not always planned out to set you up for success. Are you ready to get started again? Here are some tips to help you get back on track with your fitness goals.

Choose realistic goals that are measurable. Can you really achieve the goals you have set for yourself? 【2】. To say, “I want to get fit” is too broad ranging and very difficult to assess. Clearly define your goals so that you can recognize when you’ve reached them for both the short and long term.

【3】. What steps are you going to take to achieve your goal? Write these down and refer to them often. It is easier to hit a target you can see, plus you are more likely to stick to a plan when it is written down in detail.

Keep a journal. 【4】. Record your exercise duration and if possible your total energy consumption. When things aren’t going to plan, you can look through your journal and make adjustments accordingly.

Find an activity you enjoy. It is difficult to stick to something if you don’t like it. 【5】, and don’t choose only one activity to help you achieve your goals. In fact, cross-training is a great way to condition different muscle groups, as well as preventing boredom.

A．Create a plan of action

B．Know what it is that you want to achieve

C．Whenever possible, stick to a certain activity

D．While New Year’s decisions are well-managed

E．Try a new fitness class or take your workout outdoors

F．Write down everything you eat and what time you eat it

G．If you plan and try to seize every possible chance to achieve your goals

25、Thieving Monkeys — Name Your Price

Human beings are not the only species able to negotiate a deal.

If you visit Uluwatu temple in Bali, be careful. The long-tailed macaques (猕猴) there are well-known thieves. They make a living by _________ visitors of their possessions and then holding those objects until a payment in the form of food is paid. That is quite clever. But professor Jean-Baptiste Leca wondered whether these monkeys are cleverer still. Sometimes, they do not accept the first _________ and hold out for more. He therefore asked himself whether macaques are able to _________ how valuable an object is to its owner, and factor that into their negotiations.

Professor Leca and his colleagues conducted their experiment by wandering around the temple with video cameras, recording the activities of the monkeys. Every time they saw a monkey show interest in a _________ tourist, they recorded the interaction. Not all attempts at robbery were successful. But of those that were, they analysed the _________ of almost 2,200.

To work out what was going on, they had first to establish the _________ values of food rewards to monkeys, and of stealable objects to people. The temple staff keep three sorts of reward available for use in negotiations _________ tourists who want to get their property back: raw eggs, biscuits and small bags of fruit. Different monkeys have different _________, but professor Leca established these for _________ animals by offering them choices between pairs of treats in an initial experiment.

To confirm which stealable objects are most __________ by people, they divided them into six classes: empty containers, such as phone cases and camera bags; accessories such as key rings; hats and headgear; shoes; spectacles and sunglasses; and electronics and wallets. They then observed, from the video recordings, how often victims __________ to bargain with the thief for the return of property belonging to different classes, and __________ classified objects into low value (the first two classes on the list), medium value (the second two) and high value (the third two).

They found that monkeys do have a good sense of what they are doing — __________, adults and sub-adults do. These animals have a preference for stealing high-value items, and will often hold out either for more rewards, or for better ones, if they are in possession of such items. But this is something that they have to learn how to do as they grow up. Young ones make no such __________, and sub-adults are less good at doing so than adults.

In monkeys, as in people, guile（狡猾）is not a trick that is inborn. It has to be __________.

A．warning

B．robbing

C．reminding

D．clearing

A．deposit

B．dish

C．offer

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。

That year, my father worked abroad — and couldn’t come back for Christmas. My mother, sister and I had to make our own Christmas decorations.

My mother and I dragged in the final section of our seven-foot artificial Christmas tree from the garage. Before setting the tree in its stand, we moved our sofa over so we would have the room needed for our large tree to fit in the living room. In a moment, we would form the branches that would hold our decorations.

Everything was going smoothly, and my sister announced the stand was ready. Mother and I lifted the bottom section of the tree and were about to place it into the stand when I heard a scream. It was so loud that I assumed someone had broken into our home.

“A mouse! A mouse!” screamed my sister. She screamed just as loud, and jumped up on the sofa as the baby mouse ran to one side of our living room and then the other. Because of the loud screams, the mouse was frightened. The little creature had obviously found a home in our Christmas tree. Once we brought the tree inside and opened the branches, the baby mouse fell out of its temporary home and ran across our living room.

“Get the mouse!” my sister screamed.

It was so tiny and quick that I wasn’t sure what to do. I tried grabbing its long gray tail, but it slipped away. Then I ran to our bedroom and came back with an empty shoebox and a fly swatter (蝇拍). My plan was to stun (打晕) the little mouse and put it in the box.

I was about to hit it with the swatter when my sister shouted out, “Don’t kill it! It’s a baby and kind of cute.” My mother agreed with her, and I could tell by its frightened eyes that the little mouse did, too.

注意：

1.续写词数应为150左右；

As I saw the fear in the mouse’s eyes, I gained some Christmas sympathy.
