21、Moving into your own apartment is exciting, but it can sometimes take a little while to really feel settled in. 【1】 And many of them are inexpensive and easy to do!

Work on unpacking one room at a time if you’re just moving in. As you start to unpack boxes, work on one room at a time. 【2】 Arrange each room neatly, making it feel lived-in before you move on to the next one. For instance, you might set up your bedroom first, then the living room, then the kitchen and finally the bathroom.

【3】 Many apartments are short on space, so you may find that you have to be very cautious when you’re planning your furniture layout. Think about how you want to use each space, then arrange the furniture to maximize the functionality of that area. For instance, if you love to have people over, you might arrange the seating in your living room so all the chairs face each other. If you spend a lot of time watching your favourite shows, your layout might be a sofa and an easy chair in front of the TV.

Light scented (香薰的) candles to make your apartment smell more like home. 【4】 Lighting a candle in your apartment can change the feel almost instantly, especially if you choose a candle that smells like baked goods, warm vanilla, sandalwood, or leather. Or, if there was a certain candle you loved at your last place, you could light that, instead.

Hang art and photos that reflect your style throughout your place. Art is the perfect way to express your personal style, so search thrift stores, secondhand shops, and online stores for deals on art pieces that make you feel good. You can also display pictures of your family and friends. 【5】

A．That way you won’t make a mess.

B．Place your furniture so it decides different spaces.

C．Don’t underestimate the power of a comforting scent.

D．Make you feel at home and use it to paint one of your rooms.

E．That will give you an instant feeling of comfort when you look at them.

F．Fortunately, there are plenty of things you can do to warm up your space.

G．That way, you don’t have to worry about spending a lot money to stock up all at once.

22、Known for its Terracotta Warriors, the ancient Chinese city of Xi’an in Shaanxi Province is also a city with delicious food. Here are some of them.

Yangrou paomo

Yangrou paomo, or pita bread soaked in lamb soup, is another signature food of Xi an. The main ingredient in this mouth-watering dish is mutton and pita bread. The hard bread is torn into small pieces and added to a bowl, then topped with stewed and sliced mutton, scallion, coriander and chili, and then the soup is poured over all of it.

Biangbiang noodles

Biangbiartg noodles(stewed-pork hand-ripped noodles) are thick, fat and long. Each noodle is three fingers wide, spiraling down into a big bowl. It is served dry, with toppings of chili and pork belly in alternating layers of fat and lean meat. Biangbiang noodles are famous not only for their distinctive taste, but also for the name, the character of which is so complicated that many Chinese don’t know how to write it. Biang refers to the sound chefs make when they pull the dough into noodles and bang them against the table.

Dumpling

A visit to Xi’an is not complete unless you try the dumplings. They are made in different shapes, colors and flavors—sour, sweet or peppery. The dumplings have different fillings. Cooking methods have also expanded, from boiling to frying.

Rougamo

Ancient Chinese called it “Rou jia yu mo zhong”, which means the meat is inside the bun（a kind of small bread）. The most important part of “Rougamo” is the special sauce meat. According to the history record, “Rougamo” first found in book is in Qin Dynasty, which was called “Hanmo”. “Rougamo” is not only a sign of the ancient city, but also a sign of Chinese traditional foods.

23、 In order to help customers to find what they want quickly，it’s important to keep the thou- sands of titles in the Main Street Movies store organized properly．This section of the Employee Handbook will tell you how to organize videos．

Each Main Street Movies store has three main sections：

1．New Releases Wall．

2．Film library．

3．Video Games．

New Releases Wall．A1most 70 percent of movie rentals are new releases，and that is the first place where most customers go when they enter the store．The center section of shelves on this wall holds Hottest Hits．When new titles come into the store，place them on this wall in alphabetical order．The shelves beside Hottest Hits are called Recent Releases．The New Releases Wall，including the Hottest Hits and Recent Releases shelves，holds about 350 titles.

Film Library．The thousands of tides in the Film Library are organized into categories. The films within each category are displayed alphabetically．Here are the categories and their   two-letter computer codes：

*Foreign Language tides include films that were originally made in a foreign language  and films with foreign language subtitles．A sticker on the back of each box tells which type of  film it is.

Video Game．All the video games in Main Street Movies are arranged in alphabetical order．Although video games represent only a small percentage of our inventory(库存)，they are stolen more often than any other type of goods in our store．Therefore，video games are never displayed on the shelves. Shelves in the Video Game section hold cardboard with pictures and information about each game．When a customer wants to rent a particular game，you can find the game from the locked case behind the counter．

【1】Whom do you think this passage is most probably written for?

A．The readers in the store．

B．The manager of the store．

C．The customers in the store．

D．The salespersons of the store．

B．Cheek the center section．

C．Look at the back of the box．

D．Watch a few minutes of the film．

【3】Why can’t video games be seen on the shelves?

A．Because they’ve been sold out．

B．Because they’re in the storehouse．

C．Because they’re in a locked case behind the counter．

D．Because they represent a small percentage of the inventory．

24、   A team of engineers at Harvard University has been inspired by Nature to create the first robotic fly. The mechanical fly has become a platform for a series of new high-tech systems. Designed to do what a fly does naturally, the tiny machine is the size of a fat housefly. Its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks.

"It's extremely important for us to think about this as a whole system and not just the sum of a bunch of individual components," said Robert Wood, the Harvard engineering professor who has been working on the robotic fly project for over a decade. A few years ago, his team started piecing together the components. " The added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none of those components are off the shelf and so we have to develop them all on our own," he said.

They engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly. " The seemingly simple system which just moves the wings has a number of interdependencies on the individual components, each of which individually has to perform well, but then has to be matched well to everything it's connected to," said Wood. The flight device was built into a set of power, computation, sensing and control systems. Wood says the success of the project proves that the flying robot with these tiny components can be built and manufactured.

While this first robotic fly is linked to a small, off-board power source, the goal is eventually to equip it with a built-in power source, so that it might someday perform data-gathering work at rescue sites, in farmers' fields or on the battlefield. " Basically it should be able to take off, land and fly around,"he said.

Wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at insect-scale. Yet, the power, sensing and computation technologies on board could have much broader applications. "You can start thinking about using them to answer open scientific questions, you know, to study biology in ways that would be difficult with the animals, but using these robots instead," he said. " So there are a lot of technologies and open interesting scientific questions that are really what drives us in our daily life."

【1】What was the challenge the team of engineers met with while making the robotic fly?

A.The wings of the fly were too small. B.The components couldn't dependent on each other.

C.They had no ready-made components. D.They could not piece the components together.

【2】Paragraphs 3 and 4 tell us that the robotic fly ______.

A.consists of a flight device and a control system B.can just fly in limited areas at the present time

C.can collect information from many sources D.has been put into wide application

【3】What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A.The robotic fly is designed to study insects.

B.Animals are not allowed in biological experiments.

C.There used to be few ways to study how insects fly.

D.The design of the robotic fly will inspire more technologies.

【4】Which of the following might be the best tile of the passage?

A.Father of Robotic Fly B.Inspiration from Engineering Science

C.Robotic Fly Imitates Real Life Insect D.Harvard Breaks Through in Insect Study

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。续写的词数应为150左右。

Brownie and Harry were neighbor dogs in Stowe, a beautiful and peaceful town in Lamoille County, Vermont, United States, who met everyday to play together, running after each other joyfully. Like pairs of dogs you can find in most any neighborhood, these two loved each other and played together so often that they had worn a path through the grass of the field between their respective houses.

One evening, Brownie's family noticed that Brownie hadn't returned home as usual. They went looking for him with no success. Brownie still didn't show up the next day, and, despite their efforts to find him, by the next week he was still missing.

Curiously, the other dog, Harry, showed up at Brownie's house alone one day. He barked, jumped and pestered(纠缠) Brownie's human family, showing that he was filled with anxiety. Busy with their own lives, the family just ignored the nervous little neighbor dog and decided to let the missing dog go.

Harry refused to take “no” for an answer. Ted, Brownie’s owner, was steadily disturbed by the angry, determined little dog. One morning Harry followed Ted about, barking more insistently, then rushing toward a nearby empty lot and back, as if to say, “Follow me, please!I's very urgent!”

Eventually, Ted went after the mad Harry across the empty lot as Harry paused to race back and bark encouragingly. The little dog led the man under a tree, past some tree jungles, to a lonely spot a half mile from the house. There Ted found his beloved Brownie, and he was alive, with one of his front legs falling into a steel trap. At that moment, Ted understood the strange behavior of Harry.

Feeling regretful, Ted now wished he had taken Harry's earlier appeals seriously. However, Harry had done more than simply led Brownie’s human owner to his trapped friend. Ted noticed something quite remarkable before him and was shocked that the amount of love that the dog has for his partner could be so outstanding.

Paragraph 1:

In a circle around the injured dog, there were some remains of meals.

Paragraph 2:

Brownie was saved and taken home by his owner Ted.
