21、Ask bacteria where they’d like to live, and they’ll answer: a kitchen sponge (海绵), please.

Sponges are the best place for bacteria, capable of housing 54 billion bacteria per cubic centimeter. In addition to being damp, airy and loaded with food remains, sponges provide a perfect physical environment for bacteria.

Just like humans, bacteria prefer different levels of interactions with their peers. Some bacteria are more social, while others prefer staying alone. Researchers found that middling levels of separation—similar to that found in a sponge—maximize the diversity of the community.

Scientists separated different bacterial strains(菌株), which had been engineered to give light, into compartments(隔间). The work showed that an environment with a middling number of compartments promotes the most diversity.

Kitchen sponge, with all kinds of large and small holes, not only offer an ideal number of compartments for bacteria, but also provide a range of varying-sized parties that can suit more of the bacteria’s needs. In experiments with a kitchen sponge, the researchers found that the resulting bacterial community was more diverse than those produced in liquid cultures, a common method of growing bacteria in a laboratory.

Fortunately, the bacteria partying in your sponge are mostly nonpathogenic. But if dangerous bacteria do show up, the sponge’s special structure will probably help them thrive.

“Sponges are not really well-suited for kitchen,” says Markus Egert, a microbiologist, who did not take part in the study.“There is hardly any surface without bacteria at home, but the kitchen sponge is probably the most populated item at home.”

The good news is that it’s easy to solve the problem. Brushes are a much safer alternative. And if you love your sponge, don’t use it for meat juices. No need to invite bad bacteria to the party.

【1】What is the function of the first paragraph?

A．Introducing the topic of the text.

B．Drawing a scientific conclusion.

C．Comparing bacteria with human beings.

D．Providing a better environment for bacteria.

【2】What can be inferred from the experiment?

A．Bacteria can be removed from home.

B．Bacteria prefer to reproduce in large spaces.

C．Kitchen sponges will soon be replaced by brushes.

D．Kitchen sponges are ideal items to produce bacteria.

【3】What does the underlined word “nonpathogenic” mean in Paragraph 6?

A．Different

B．Safe

C．Healthy

D．Destructive

【4】Where is the passage most likely taken from?

A．A cookbook

B．A magazine

C．A textbook

D．An advertisement

22、Why Do Movie Theaters Serve Popcorn?

The savory smell. The crunchy bite. The buttery finish. Americans will recognize the smell and flavor of their favorite moviegoing snack anywhere. Why is it that we feast our taste buds on these crisp kernels while our eyes focus on the big screen?

【1】The main reason is the snack’s price, convenience, and timing. Popcorn was cheap for sellers and for customers, and making it didn’t require special equipment.

【2】That is how popcorn got introduced to the silver screen.

Popcorn does not refer to the popped kernel alone. 【3】It was originally grown in Central America and became popular in the U.S. in the mid-1800s. Compared with other snacks at the time, it was super easy to make, and it got easier in 1885 when the mobile steam-powered popcorn maker was invented. In the late 19th century a large number of independent popcorn suppliers became widely available. 【4】

Since popcorn was cheap to make, it was also cheap to buy, which increased the popularity of this treat during the Great Depression. The Depression increased consumer spending on cheaper luxury items such as popcorn and movies, and the two industries teamed up. 【5】By the mid-1940s, however, movie theaters began to have their own concession stands in the lobby. The introduction of the popcorn-driven concession stand to movie theaters kept the movie theater industry running smoothly, and popcorn has been a basic movie-watching food ever since.

A．A few aspects made popcorn the typical movie snack.

B．They were like the great-great-grandfathers of food trucks.

C．Therefore, movie theaters attracted more and more customers.

D．The secret of popcorn’s pleasant taste lies in the special material.

E．It’s also the name for the specific type of corn that is used to make the snack.

F．Theaters would allow a popcorn salesman to sell right outside for a daily fee.

G．Popcorn also got popular at a time when theaters badly needed an economic increase.

Young people can have fun, but also gain considerable skills in English. A full day in London is always included, as well as other places of cultural interest.

Students of all cultures are welcomed as our aim is to create a summer school which can truly be described as International.
