21、   Tofu is known to have been a commonly consumed food in China by the second century B. C. Although the varieties of tofu produced in ancient times may not have been identical to those of today, descriptions from writings and poetry of the Song and Yuan Dynasties show that the technique for the production of tofu had already been standardized by that time.

In China, tofu is traditionally presented as a food offering when visiting the graves of de ceased relatives. According to tradition, tofu is the only food soft enough for the spirits (or ghosts), who have long ago lost their chins and jaws, to eat. Before refrigeration was available in China, tofu was often sold only during the winter time. During the warmer months, leftover tofu would be spoiled if not consumed within a day.

Tofu and its production technique were introduced into Japan in the Nara period (late 8th century) as well as to other parts of East Asia. The earliest documented record of tofu in Japan shows that the dish was served as an offering at the Kasuga Shrine in Nara in 1183. The rise in acceptance of tofu may have coincided with the rise of Buddhism , as tofu is an important source of protein in a vegetarian (素食者）diet. The book Tofu Hyakuchin, published during the Edo period, lists 100 recipes for cooking tofu.

Tofu has become a staple in many countries, including Vietnam, Thailand, and Korea, with subtle regional variations in methods of production, texture, flavor, and usage.

【1】Which remains not much changed about Tofu since ancient times?

A．Its varieties.

B．The storage method.

C．The recipes for cooking.

D．The method of production.

【2】Why is tofu presented as a food offering for the dead ones?

D．It doesn’t spoil easily.

【3】What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?

A．The origin of Tofu.

B．The spread of Tofu.

C．The history of Tofu.

22、The great-grandmother is learning English with the help of her family when she is at the age of 91. She hopes to use the language at next year’s Olympic Games in Tokyo. Takamizawa was one of the more than 200, 00 people who requested to volunteer for Tokyo’s 2020 Games. English is not required for service, but it is a useful skill for volunteers to have.

But Takamizawa had not been able to learn the language when she was young. Takamizawa said that she was in high school when World War Two started. She said, “In my second year there, English was banned because it was the enemy language.”

Takamizawa said her grandchildren helped persuade her that she was not too old to learn. “When I talked to my grandchildren about my wish, they said, ‘It’s not too late. We will teach you one word a day’ ”. Natsuko is Takamizawa’s granddaughter and main English teacher. Natsuko sends a new English word to her grandmother’s phone every day. They also often work together directly on phrases that Takamizawa will need for the Olympics. “Welcome to Tokyo, this is the Olympic stadium, how can I help you?” Takamizawa answers when asked to say an English phrase she has learned. Natsuko explains that she wanted to give her grandmother something to enjoy. “I can clearly see her English is getting better. It’s my joy now.”

The EF English Proficiency Index is a measure of the level of English spoken in a country. Japan ranks 49th among countries where English is not the first language. This situation is slowly changing as younger generations welcome English. However, Takamizawa believes real change will not happen unless Japanese people become more open to the rest of the world. With around 500 days to go until the games begin, the whole Takamizawa family is ready to welcome the world to Tokyo.

【1】Why couldn’t Takamizawa learn English when she was young?

A．Because English was useless.

B．Because she was too young to learn English.

C．Because English was forbidden to learn.

D．Because she was unwilling to learn English.

【2】What can we know from the third paragraph?

B．Takamizawa’s grandchildren love her a lot.

C．Natsuko is Takamizawa’s granddaughter and only English teacher.

D．Natsuko teaches Takamizawa English mainly by talking with her.

【3】What does the underlined phrase “This situation” in Paragraph 4 refer to?

A．English is not the first language in Japan.

B．The level of English spoken in Japan is relatively low.

C．Younger generations in Japan welcome English.

D．Japanese people become open to the rest of the world.

【4】What is the main idea of the passage?

A．Where there is a will, there is a way.

B．It is never too late to learn.

C．The early bird catches the worm.

D．Two heads are better than one.

24、   Where in the classroom do you prefer to sit,and why? Scientists have discovered that seating preference not only shows students’ personalities,but has a great influence on their school performance.Generally speaking,students show different attitudes depending on where they sit. Based on the research, scientists have developed a funnel-like(像漏斗的) model of “learning zones(区域)” to see the relationship between seating and active learning.

In this model,the mouth of the funnel(A) is the best position for learning. Students in this front area prove to be the most active learners.They show a greater desire(渴求) for learning,which leads them to focus(集中注意力) better and take a more active part than the rest of the class.Those in the neck of the funnel(B) don’t pay the same close attention,but they ask a lot of questions,partly because of the added confidence they feel from being in a safe zone, with others around them. Less desirable is the area “outside the funnel(C,D),” which refers to the side and the back rows,where students take a less active part in classroom activities and find it hard to focus their attention, falling asleep at times.

Studies about learning zones suggest that a change in traditional seating plans can benefit students. In fact, a growing number of teachers have begun less traditional seating plans,such as “U-Type”.There are no side and back areas,so teachers can expect their students to take part in activities more actively and increase student-teacher interaction(互动).

【1】According to scientists,students’ learning is greatly influenced by .

A.the number of students B.the time of class

C.seating positions D.the size of the classroom

【2】It turns out that the students sitting in Area B .

A.sometimes fall asleep B.feel safe and confident

C.seldom ask their teachers questions D.try to avoid looking directly at the teacher

【3】Which area is most proper for learning?

A.Area A. B.Area B. C.Area C. D.Area D.

【4】What does the underlined word “benefit” in the last paragraph mean?

A.Cause trouble for. B.Take control of.

C.Give a warning to. D.Do good to.
