21、Food for Italians isn’t a trend; it’s a way of life. Italians live to eat, and the importance of food in family life is absolutely important and deep-rooted in everyday routines.

In Italy, kids are encouraged to be part of every social occasion that revolves around food — it’s not about dividing the children from the adults, giving them separate meals or putting them to bed early. In Britain, by contrast, my sister and I often see children eating separate meals from their parents.

Letting children experience food like an Italian will develop not just their palate(味觉) but also their social skills, manners, teaching them new and mature ways to interact. Here are some food customs that are part of every Italian child’s upbringing.

One of the most celebrated Italian food customs is the morning coffee. Coffee shops and bars have customers streaming in and out of them each morning as the Italians get their daily dose–and this habit is just as much about the social setting as it is about the coffee.

While the morning is all about coffee, pre-lunch or dinner, it’s all about the local snacks. Most often, Italian city centres and squares are jam packed with locals who come out with their kids to enjoy this pre-dinner treat, and children are encouraged to enjoy snacks available. This is a brilliant way to get kids to try new tastes without the pressures of meal times. It’s important to note that “kids’ menus” do not exist in Italian restaurants—children are treated like adults and are offered plates from the main menu — in smaller amounts, if they’re young.

Post-lunch, most cities can seem quite deserted. But by 4 p.m. onwards, the crowds start to re-emerge. One by one, families spill out and the streets liven up. Everyone begins their afternoon stroll, enjoying the afternoon snacks, like ice-cream, which turns over a huge trade in Italy.

【1】What will parents do at meal times in Italy?

A. Let children have their meals separately.

B. Offer children plates from kids’ menu.

C. Order some food for children but in small amounts.

D. Encourage children to eat with them.

【2】What won’t children develop if they experience food like an Italian?

A. Cooking ways.     B. Sense of taste.

C. Social skills.     D. Interacting manners.

【3】What do we know about the pre-dinner treat in Italy?

A. It is most often about coffee.

B. It can get children to experience new foods with ease.

C. It is unavailable in city centres and squares.

D. It can reduce the pressure of meal times.

【4】What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?

A. To introduce different Italian local foods.

B. To stress the importance of food for Italians.

C. To show Italians’ children education.

D. To advertise Italian food trends.

22、I travel a lot, and I find out different “styles” of directions every time 1 ask “How can I get to the post office?”

Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there don’t have names; in Japan, people use landmarks in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”

In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat; in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, “Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.”

People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map; they measure distance in time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “it’s about five minutes from here.” You say, “Yes, but how many miles away is it?” They don’t know.

It’s true that a person doesn’t know the answer to your question sometimes. What happens in such a situation? A New Yorker might say, ‘Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don’t know.” People in Yucatan believe that “I don’t know” is impolite, They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan!

【1】When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place they usually _________

A. describe the place carefully

B. refer to recognizable buildings and places

C. show him a map of the place

D. tell him the names of the streets

【2】Which is the place where people measure distance in time?

A. New York. B. Kansas.

C. Los Angeles. D. Iowa.

【3】People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer ________

A. in order to save time B. as a test

C. for fun     D. so as to be polite

【4】What can we infer from the text?

A. It’s useful for travelers to know how to ask the way properly.

B. People have similar understandings of politeness.

C. It’s important for travelers to understand cultural differences.

D. New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors.

23、Everyone has a phone in their pocket nowadays, but how often do we really use them for their original purpose—to make a call? Telephone culture is disappearing. What brought us to this moment, and what are its effects?

“No one picks up the phone anymore,” wrote Alex C. Madrigal on The Atlantic. “The reflex (习惯性动作) of answering—20th-century telephonic culture—is gone.”

The shift is of course due in large part to more communication options: Texting with photos, videos, emojis, reaction gifs, links and even voice messages can be a more attractive option.

Texting is light and fun, not nearly as demanding of your attention as a phone call. It can also be done with multiple people at the same time. Social media, email and video calls have also eaten away at traditional phone calls.

In recent years, another reason has caused people to ignore phone calls completely: robocalls. Robocalls are automate (自动化的) messages from organizations verifying (核实) your phone number or telemarketers trying to sell something. Americans received 22.8 billion robocalls halfway through 2020, equaling an annual rate of 45.6 billion, slightly below 2018 numbers, according to YouMail, a robocall protection service and blocking app.

As telephone culture disappears, what is the loss of a singular family phone doing to the family unit? Early landline phones unified family members, whereas mobile phones isolate (隔离) them.

“The shared family phone served as an anchor (精神支柱) for home,” said Luke Fernandez, a Weber State University computer-science professor and co-author of Bored, Lonely, Angry, Stupid: Feelings About Technology, From the Telegraph to Twitter. “With smart phones, we have gained mobility and privacy. But the value of the home has been reduced, as has its ability to guide and monitor family behavior and perhaps connect families more closely, ”Fernandez said.

Of course, as technology progresses, lives always change for better or for worse. With the loss of telephone culture, families will need to find other ways to unite.

【1】What has caused the traditional telephone to lose its appeal according to the text?

A．People’s wide range of communication choices.

B．People’s growing need for privacy

C．People’s addiction to social media

D．People’s preference for robocalls

【2】What can we infer from Fernandez’s remark?

A．The value of home depends on how phones are used.

B．The use of mobile phone has affected family connections.

C．Smart phones make families closer.

D．Smart phones help people monitor family behavior.

【3】What does the article mainly talk about?

A．The relation between phone use and family connections

B．The development of communication tools.

C．The past and future of telephone

D．The downfall of traditional telephone culture.

24、Spring is in the air. Birds are singing and beginning to build their nests. It happens every year like clockwork. But by comparing recent observations with century-old eggs preserved in museum collections, scientists involved in the study were able to determine that about a third of the bird species are nesting and laying eggs nearly a month earlier than they did a hundred years ago. And as far as the researchers can tell climate change is responsible.

“Egg collections are such a fascinating to for us to learn about bird ecology over time,” says John Bates, director of the Field Museum. The eggs, with the contents removed, are stored in small boxes and accompanied by labels, saying what kind of bird they belong to, where they're from, and precisely when they were collected

Fidino, an ecologist at Chicago’s Lincoln Park Zoo, built a model for studying the historical and modern data about the egg collections. He found a surprising result: among the 72 bird species studied, about a third are nesting and laying their first eggs 25. 1 days earlier than they did a century ago.

Given that the climate crisis has dramatically affected so many aspects of biology, the researchers looked to rising temperatures as a potential explanation for the earlier nesting and laying. The changes in temperature are seemingly small but lead to different plants blooming and insects emerging—things that could affect the food available for birds. So birds have to move their egg-laying dates to adapt.

In addition to serving as a warning about climate change, Bates believes the study highlights the importance of museum collections, particularly egg collections. “They’re heavy with data about the past, and they can help us answer important questions about our world today,” he said.

【1】How did the scientists conduct the study?

A．By doing field research.

B．By analyzing data.

C．By referring to documents.

D．By doing interviews.

【2】What do we know about the egg collections in the museum?

A．They are labeled on exhibition.

B．They were collected a century ago.

C．They are used for educational purpose

D．They were specially processed for storage.

【3】What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?

A．Rising temperatures change birds’ habits.

B．Rising temperatures affect food available for birds.

C．Climate change leads to great changes to plants and insects

D．Climate change should be to blame for birds’ early laying

【4】What does Bates think of the study?

A．Beneficial.

B．Instructive.

C．Inspiring.

D．Surprising.
