21、   When I first landed at Ferihegy Airport in Budapest, I had no idea what was awaiting me. I was tired when our driver picked us up, but the view of graffiti written in German,Russian, and Hungarian just blew me away. As we got closer to the city, I felt like I was in a place that was magically changed through time and none in the city had noticed.

I felt as if it was a forgotten place, but it really shouldn't be. I found the air of Budapest to be welcoming and nearly everyone was friendly. Most younger people there speak English, but the non-English speakers were helpful in trying to explain to me that I had given them the wrong amount of forints in paying for an item. If you're interested in shopping, there is the Mammut which is a nice sized mall on the Buda side of the Danube. The locals explained to us that we should not shop at the mall because it is expensive.

When I checked out at an awesome store called Jazz,I found the opposite.I got a formal gown for$14!!! Looking back,I'd like to go to the places where the locals shopped. I stayed at the Mohácsi Panzió. It was $50 a night and the breakfast was wonderful. Our room overlooked a garden and was on the second story of the house, where you could see the hills in the distance. Heroes Square is a wonderful site where people just walk by like it's nothing.The pavement there is very flat which is great for rollerblading.

When I was there we played "futbol" with a plastic piece of tubing we found near the trash.Margit Island is a very strange site for me to come upon in one of the oldest cities in Europe. It is a huge park just inside the city. A lot of activities can be found on that island, from playing futbol to riding around on really strange-looking bikes. If you ever decide to take a trip to Budapest, you may never want to come back.

22、There are 195 countries in the world today but almost none of them have purple on their national flag. So what’s wrong with purple? It’s such a popular color today. Why would no country use it in their flag? The answer is really quite simple. Purple was just for too expensive.

The color purple has been associated with royalty power and wealth for centuries. Queen Elizabeth I forbade anyone except close members of the royal family to wear it. Purple’s high status comes from the rarity and cost of the dye (染料)originally used to produce it. Fabric traders got the dye from a small sea snail (海螺)that was only found in the Tyre region of the Mediterranean. More than 10,000 snails were needed to create just one gram of purple; not to mention a lot of work went into producing the dye, which made purple dye so expensive.

Since only wealthy rulers could afford to buy and wear the color, it became associated with the royal family. Sometimes, however, the dye was too expensive even for royalty. Third century Roman Emperor Aurelio famously wouldn’t allow his wife to buy a scarf made from purple silk because it cost three times its weight in gold. A single pound of dye cost three pounds of gold, which equals 56,000 dollars today. Therefore, even the richest countries couldn’t spend that much having purple on their flags.

The dye became more accessible to lower-class about a century and a half ago. In 1856, 18-year-old English chemist William Henry Perkin accidentally created a man-made purple compound (化合物)while attempting to produce an anti-malaria drug. He noticed that the compound could be used to dye fabrics, so he patented the dye, manufactured it and got rich. Purple dye was then mass-produced so everybody could afford it.

Till now, a handful of new national flags have been designed and a few of them have chosen to use purple in their flag. So don’t be making any bets just yet.

【1】Why was color purple expensive in the past?

A．Because only royal families were allowed to wear purple.

B．Because it took a long time to get purple dye from gold.

C．Because purple was worth as much as its weight in gold.

D．Because purple dye used to be rare and hard to produce.

【2】Why did Roman Emperor Aurelio forbid his wife to buy a purple scarf?

A．Because of poor quality.

B．Because of long tradition.

C．Because of bad taste.

D．Because of high price.

【3】What is purple's situation now?

A．Purple has been widely used on national flags.

B．Purple dye is now affordable to ordinary people.

C．Royal family stop using purple because it’s too common.

D．Fewer snails are used to produce purple dye than before.

【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A．No Purple Flags?

B．Purple vs Gold

C．How to Produce Purple Dye?

D．The Birth of Purple Color

23、   There are at least 3 ,000 miles of waterways in Britain. On these canals and rivers, there are over 30,000 'houseboats'—boats that people use as homes. Around 10 ,000 of them are located in London.

The earliest populations of Britain's 'boat people' have been living on the water since the canals were built during the industrial revolution. Since then, houseboat living has usually attracted people who prefer to live an alternative lifestyle. Houseboat communities are typically made up of people who are looking for a slower way of life and who want to be in touch with nature.

Living on the water sounds romantic, but it is also hard work. There are daily things that need to be done, like bringing fuel and water on board and dealing with 'waste' water from kitchen sink, shower and toilet. In winter, living on a boat can be very cold and there is always a feeling of damp. Of course, most boats are quite small inside, so you don't have much space, especially if you are a couple, family or a group of friends.

Despite these difficulties, the number of people living on Britain's waterways has increased by around 50 per cent over the past ten years. More and more families and young professionals are moving onto houseboats, not only because they like the idea of life on water.but also because it is much cheaper to buy or rent a boat than a flat or a house.

There is a great sense of community on the waterways ； many boat people say that their neighbours are always ready to help them, and houseboat neighbours often become friends for life. This is quite a different story from people who live in flats or houses and may hardly know the people next door at all.

【1】What does the underlined word "alternative" in paragraph 2 probably mean?

A.Creative. B.Enjoyable.

C.Non — traditional. D.Primitive.

【2】From the third paragraph, we know that it is to live on the boat.

A.inconvenient B.easy

C.boring D.unforgettable

【3】Which of the following information is not given in the text?

A.There are lots of rivers and canals in Britain.

B.Many people live on houseboats in Wales.

C.Houseboat living become popular in the industrial revolution.

D.People who live on houseboats are usually very friendly with their neighbours.

【4】Why do many people choose to live on the water? Because .

A.living on the water is romantic

B.living on the water is easy and natural

C.living on the water can avoid unfriendly neighbours

D.living on the water costs less than living on the land
