26、   Chef Zhang Xuesi lowered the fire on the stove where he was cooking his Cantonese meal. He added all the necessary foods. He quickly lowered the fire and turned toward a phone camera as hundreds of people watched him online. 'It ruins the dish if you burn the breadcrumbs, ' he advised his livestream video watchers.

Many people in China are restricted to their homes in the effort to stop the spread of coronavirus. Millions of them are finding a new interest in cooking. People watching television and online cooking shows are learning how to make Chinese and Western foods. They are also pushing up the sale of special cookware on online markets. Downloads of the top five recipe apps doubled in February, said research company Sensor Tower.

Billibilli said it has had more than 580 million views of its cooking videos in the two months since the coronavirus began to spread in China. Another online cooking show producer DayDayCook told Reuters its numbers of new users increased 200 percent from January to February. A recipe for bean curd and shrimp received the most watchers.

Many new home cooks are young people living in cities. This group is used to eating out or getting food delivery. Now these people are cooking at home. Wu Shuang is a 30-year-old who works and lives in Beijing. She was among those trapped at home in February. She says she spent a lot of time online, learning how to make bread and other foods.

Chef Zhang Xuesi explained that many of his online viewers expressed interest in discussing more than just food. In the past, users were only interested in learning cooking tricks, but now we talk about all kinds of subjects.

27、If you are thinking of putting your child in a private high school instead of a public one, you should do some research. You will find that most private schools offer some advantages.

One of the most important details of a good high school is small class size. Many public schools might have 30 or even 35 students in each class. However, many private schools limit the size to about 15 to 20 kids per class. This is a good thing because it allows each teacher to offer every student more attention.

Another thing to mention is the interesting classes. For example, while the typical (典型的) high school might only offer Spanish and French as foreign languages, private schools often have several other languages to choose from. This is especially important if your child is actually interested in studying a particular language that is not usually offered. Of course, many colleges also consider the various (各种各样的) classes as a good thing, since they can teach students more different subjects than usual.

Some colleges actually work closely with schools to make sure students are prepared well to get an advanced education. This means that teachers are careful to teach skills that can be used in college. Also, college teachers may be on-hand to talk to students and give them advice. If you think your child could use some help of this kind, which would likely help prepare him or her for college, you should look into schools offering these things.

A simple visit to the website or campus (校园) of a local private high school could give you the answers you are looking for. If you think your child would benefit from and appreciate these advantages, you should start researching. You are sure to find at least one that offers these benefits.

A．pay attention to their children’s study

【3】According to the text, colleges might like to choose students who________.

28、   Hanging stocking(长袜) by the chimney(烟囱) with care is one of the most popular Christmas traditions, but many families wonder why.

A popular origin(起源) tale starts with none other than St. Nicholas, who was thought to be the original Father Christmas. In the third and fourth centuries, St. Nicholas was a Christian bishop in modern-day Turkey who made helping others his life purpose, and he caught wind of a family in need.

As the story goes, a single father was raising three daughters but realized he didn’t have enough money to pay for their dowries(嫁妆), without which they couldn’t get married. As a poor man, the father wouldn’t be able to support his daughters for long.

St. Nicholas heard of the family’s trouble but knew they were too proud to accept handouts. To make sure they didn’t refuse his generosity(慷慨), he anonymously sent them gold at night. Some people say he dropped gold down the chimney, and the gifts landed in the stockings that were laid by the fire to dry, while others say St. Nicholas himself climbed down from the chimney. Someone --- either the father or the daughters, depending on the tale--- caught St. Nicholas in the act and thanked him for his help. The gifts were enough for the daughters to marry and live happily ever after.

St. Nicholas’ feast day was on December 6, and finally, the tradition of leaving gifts in stockings was paired up with Christmas celebrations.

Some other scientists say the stocking tradition might have started even before Christianity in Scandinavian cultures. The Norse god Odin was said to come during Yule, riding on an eight-legged horse. Children would leave sugar and carrots in their shoes to feed the horse, and Odin would leave them gifts in return.

We’ll never know for sure the true origin of the stocking tradition, but stockings have a strong foothold in Christmas tradition. The gift-giving origins show generosity and kindness as long as you’re on St. Nicholas’ nice list, of course.

【1】Why did St. Nicholas decide to help the family?

A.The father raised three daughters. B.The family had no money to support themselves.

C.The daughters couldn’t get married. D.The father wasn’t willing to pay for the dowries.

【2】What does the underlined word “anonymously” in Paragraph 4 mean?

A.Honestly. B.Simply. C.Secretly. D.Immediately.

【3】What do the two stories about St. Nicholas have in common?

A.St. Nicholas met the family on purpose.

B.St. Nicholas hid the gold in the stockings.

C.St. Nicholas placed the girls’ stockings beside the fire.

D.St. Nicholas wanted to help the family through the chimney.

【4】What can be learnt from the last paragraph?

A.Children were rewarded for their kindness.

B.Children hung up their shoes to beg for gifts.

C.People hung up stockings in memory of Odin.

D.Scandinavian cultures valued the stocking tradition.

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Scientists have proved what students have long suspected: Maths equations can actually trigger physical pain.

Regions of the brain linked with the experience of physical 【1】 were activated in those fearful of maths when they were presented with a tough equation, researchers have found. The higher a person’s anxiety of a maths task, the more it 【2】 activity in regions of their brain associated with visceral (内脏的) threat detection, and often the experience of pain itself.

However, the researchers say their study examines the pain response associated with anticipating an anxiety-provoking event, rather than the pain associated with a 【3】 event itself. A maths task itself is not painful but 【4】 the thought of it is highly unpleasant to certain people.

“Maths can be difficult, and for those with high levels of mathematics-anxiety (HMAs), math is associated with tension, apprehension (忧虑) and fear,” the researchers said in their paper titled. When Math Hurts. “【5】, this relation was not seen during math performance, 【6】 that it is not that math itself hurts, rather, the anticipation of math is painful. These results may also provide a potential neural mechanism to explain why (people with) HMAs tend to 【7】 math and math-related situations, which in turn can bias (使有偏见) (those with) high levels of mathematics-anxiety away from taking math classes or even entire math-related 【8】 paths. We provide the first neural 【9】 indicating the nature of the subjective experience of math-anxiety.

Other forms of psychological stress, such as social 【10】 or a traumatic break-up, can also elicit feeling of physical pain.”
