21、What are the foods that you can only taste in memories? Your mother’s biscuits? The mud (泥) pies you made as a child? And what are the recipes that bring those memories to mind?

This morning, for the first time in more than a year, I made Dutch Babies. From scratch. And I didn’t burn them. Yes, I’m the kind of cook who’s always amazed to pull anything out of the oven that isn’t burnt. But sometimes, I get lucky.

What are Dutch Babies? Picture a cross between a pancake and an omelet (煎蛋饼) that tastes better than both. They’re easy to make, and you can make a lot of servings (一份食物) in one pan (平底锅) at the same time.

Making Dutch Babies brings to my mind some of the happiest memories of my life. I was given the recipe by a dear friend Sally, a cook who knew a great dish when she tasted it.

I’ve made Dutch Babies a few thousand times for sleepovers (夜宿的客人) and houseguests and Sunday suppers. They were always a hit, even if I burned them.

After my kids grew up, I didn’t cook much for years, except for holidays or other big occasions. But if I had a full house, I’d make Dutch Babies for breakfast.

I can’t recall the last time I made Dutch Babies, before today. I know it was more than a year ago, before life as we knew it was shut down for COVID-19, and we stopped having guests.

So why did I make them this morning for only my husband and me? It’s been a hard year for all of us, filled with things we couldn’t do. I was hungry to celebrate being alive.

I mixed up the ingredients and stuck it in the oven. While it baked, I thought of all the family and friends I’ve baked it for over the years.

Good food can feed a hungry crowd. But if it’s made with love and seasoned with memories, it can fill a soul with hope of better days to come. Add your own memories. And say thanks to my friend Sally.

【1】The questions asked in the first paragraph are used to ________.

A．The author’s tips on how to make Dutch Babies.

B．The author’s memories of making Dutch Babies.

C．Why Dutch Babies were welcomed at the author’s home.

D．The author’s family tradition of eating Dutch Babies.

【3】Why did the author make Dutch Babies again after more than a year?

A．To welcome guests from afar.

B．To please her husband.

C．To thank her friend Sally.

D．To show her gratitude for being alive.

【4】What does the author want to tell us from this article?

A．Food tastes better when it is shared.

B．Food made with love can feed the soul.

C．Food gives us hope for better days.

D．Food eaten when hungry creates good memories.

22、   A great museum can improve thoughts, open new worlds and change entire viewpoints. While famous museums, such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City and the Hermitage in St. Petersburg, are well-known throughout the world, a new crop of museums have sprung up in the last 10 years that are set to compete with them.

Museum of Modern Art

New York City, the United States

New York City's Museum of Modern Art sets the standard in contemporary art. With its expansion opening this October, it raised the bar even higher. With new performance spaces and galleries, the museum explores the works of artists like Donald Judd, Dorothea Lange and Betye Saar.

UCCA Center for Contemporary Art

Beijing, China

This center for contemporary Chinese art underwent a major restructuring in 2017, separating its commercial and nonprofit functions. Featuring artists like Liu Wei and Wang Jian wei, it places Chinese artists firmly in the center of the global art dialogue.

This museum celebrates the eponymous(同名的)fashion designer whose clothing forever changed the way women dressed. The original in Paris opened in September 2017, one month before its outpost(基地)in Marrakesh, Morocco.

23、The world’s only captive (圈养) brown giant panda, Qizai, has been taking more exercise in preparation for the upcoming breeding (繁育) season. He is encouraged to stand up by keepers who place food on the end of a stick held just out of his reach. Panda experts believe that strengthening the giant animal’s legs will improve his ability to breed successfully.

The world’s first brown panda was discovered in 1985 in the Qinling Mountains. All photographs of wild brown pandas were taken in the area, which they were named after. The Qinling giant panda, first recognized in 2005, is a subspecies of giant panda. As well as its brown and white fur, it has a smaller and rounder skull and a shorter nose than the more familiar Sichuan giant panda.

Qizai, whose name means the seventh son, was found as two-month-old cub, weak and alone, by researchers in a nature reserve in the Qinling Mountains. For his safety, the researchers took him to the nearby Shanxi Rare Wildlife Rescue Centre where he was given medical treatment and fed on milk from other pandas.

There are 1, 864 giant pandas in the wild, according to World Wildlife. They live mainly in bamboo forests high in the mountains of south-west China, mostly in Sichuan province, but they can also be found in Shanxi province, where Qizai is from. He was previously thought to be the only living brown panda in the world until a wild panda with the same colour pattern was spotted roaming in a nature reserve in Shanxi in March, 2018. Up to now spotting brown pandas in the wild has taken place no more than ten times, all of which were in the central Qinling Mountains.

【1】Why do keepers put food beyond Qizai’s reach?

A．To prepare him for the return to the wild.

B．To train him to amuse zoo visitors.

C．To help him exercise his legs.

D．To ensure him a balanced diet.

【2】What can we infer about Qizai from the text?

A．He was first found in 2005.

B．He is a Qinling giant panda.

C．His seventh son is 2 months old.

D．He was the only living brown panda.

【3】What conclusion can be drawn from the last paragraph?

A．The sighting of wild brown pandas is a rare happening.

B．The Qinling Mountains are home to most wild pandas.

C．The number of giant pandas is growing rapidly.

D．All giant pandas are of the same colour.

【4】What’s the text mainly about?

A．Life of captive pandas.

B．Endangered giant pandas.

C．The Qinling giant panda.

D．Rare wildlife protection.

24、   Be careful of those solid gold pieces of advice. The friend who advises you to, say, stay in your relationship or leave your job may well be looking out for you; but she' s inescapably looking out for herself, too, whether she realises it or not.

Moreover, research suggests that people will generally advise you to act more cautiously than they would act themselves in a similar situation — perhaps because they don’t want to feel guilty if you take a daring leap and fall flat on your face.

There's a happy side to this, though, for parents, teachers, managers and anyone else who finds themselves in the position of needing to motivate others: far better than giving them advice is to give them the opportunity to give advice. A new study found that American middle-school pupils were much more enthusiastic about doing their homework after giving advice on the topic to younger children, as compared with after receiving advice from teachers. This motivational effect lasted weeks, and was also observed among adults who were attempting to lose weight, save money, control their temper or find a job. This result isn’t all that surprising, 1 suppose, when you consider how happy it feels to be invited to give advice. Faced with a challenge, we tend to assume we need to seek advice in order to obtain more knowledge about how to give advice; yet the truth, very often, is that we know exactly what we need to do — we just lack the confidence to do it.

This, by the way, is another good reason to keep a journal: you can use it to advise yourself. Your friends may have limited patience with your habit of lecturing them on their lives in order to feel better about your own, but a leather-effect notebook never complains.

Finally, this is a reminder that there are few bigger compliments (恭维) you can pay another person than to ask for their advice. Benjamin Franklin famously observed that to flatter (奉承) someone, it’s better to ask for a favour than to perform one: the favour-doer will come to think of you as the likable sort for whom they do favours.

【1】Why should you be careful of those solid gold pieces of advice?

A.They may be practical.

B.They may be rewarding.

C.They may be demanding.

D.They may be conservative.

【2】The examples in Paragraph 3 suggest that people giving advice   .

A.become more motivated to act

B.should turn to others for advice

C.are superior to the professionals

D.usually lack relevant knowledge

【3】What does the author want to convey by mentioning Benjamin Franklin?

A.Keeping a journal is a good habit.

B.You should be polite to the favour-doers.

C.You should be patient with your listeners.

D.Asking for a favour pleases the favour-doers.

25、It was dull and gray on a summer holiday. Matt was gazing at the dusty street, cicadas screaming somewhere in an ugly tree with twisting _______. It’s one o’clock! Matt’s stomach gave a funny jump. He had been seventeen years old, without realizing it, for a whole morning.

Yet how _______ Matt looked forward to his birthdays. He was adopted by his uncle, a drunk when his parents died in a car crash. Since then, he had never received a birthday card. Everyone ignored him at school — he had no reason to _______ anyone would remember his birthday.
