21、Scottish Storytelling Centre, Edinburgh

The Centre’s idea is summed up nicely by the old Scottish proverb, “The story is told eye to eye, mind to mind and heart to heart”. The main draw is its programme of spoken-word performances, most of which take place in its 100-seat basement theatre. The storytelling doesn’t just happen on stage, though. The ground floor has a large, airy room used for exhibitions, workshops as well as a monthly story session for tots (Tiny Tales for one- to three-year-olds).

Exit through the gift shop

No gift shop! Better than that, the centre has an independent bookshop, which specializes in fables, myths and folk stories. Many are classics passed down from generation to generation, although contemporary material also exists in abundance. Kids’ books are plentiful. Contemporary highlights include Lari Don’s Serpents and Werewolves and Janis Mackay’s The Selkie Girl. Also worth a look is Animals, Beasties and Monsters of Scotland by Lea Taylor, which forms part of The History Pres’s superb compilation (编纂) of regional Scottish folk stories. There are also Scots’ versions of Harry Potter, as well as Roald Dahl’s The Twits.

Getting there

The centre is in the middle of Edinburgh’s Old Town, at the eastern end of the Royal Mile. It’s a five-minute walk from Waverley railway station. Driving in the city centre is to be avoided; the nearest bus stops are on the High Street and North Bridge. For more information, visit Lothian Buses.

Value for money

Reasonable. Entry to the ground-floor space is free, although all the theatre performances are ticketed. Prices for shows vary, with the average around £8 for adults and £6 for children. Café Voices, the centre's monthly storytelling night, is £5.

Opening hours

10 a.m. -6 p.m. from Mondays to Saturdays; Sunday (July and August only). Last entry: 5:30 pm.

【1】What can visitors do in the shop at the exit?

A.Enjoy classics. B.Exchange folk stories.

C.Meet contemporary writers. D.Talk about Harry Potter in Scots.

【2】What can be learned about transportation to the centre?

A.Self-driving is encouraged in the city centre.

B.Public transportation is recommended.

C.Round-trip transportation is provided by the centre

D.The nearest bus stop is next to Waverley railway station.

Detective Chinatown 3, the newest installment in China’s well-received Detective Chinatown film franchise, topped the list of most-anticipated holiday films compiled by movie-ticketing platform Maoyan.

A sequel to the 2018 comedy hit Detective Chinatown 2 that grossed 3.4 billion yuan ($526 million), Detective Chinatown 3 is set for release on the Spring Festival that falls on Feb 12. More than 3.7 million Maoyan users have expressed interest in seeing this film, according to data.

23、To develop one’s taste in English, the most effective way is to read English books extensively (广泛地). Yet one may be at a loss to choose the suitable books, especially as a beginner. As a native Spanish, I would like to share some of my experience.

My first English novel was Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, recommended by many English teachers and professors as an ideal book for English learners. But my experience was somewhat disastrous. I had great difficulty in understanding the novel, let alone enjoying it. It's not the vocabulary that troubled me, but rather the way Austen made sentences, and her way of thinking, which seemed too distant to me at that time. My fading enthusiasm was much recovered after reading Hemingway's novel A Farewell to Arms. No long and complicated sentences. And I particularly liked his brief and simple style. So my first suggestion is, as a beginner, you’d better choose contemporary (当代的) novels instead of classical ones.

However, if you limit yourself to novels you will miss lot of treasures. English essays (散文) can at once inform you, interest you, and improve your taste in English. The best example is Bertrand Russell's work. Its language is plain, yet you cannot help feeling the simplicity and the sense of humor. His simple language enables his philosophy within the reach of ordinary people. Here comes my second suggestion — essays are indispensable.

Never follow others' recommendations and opinions blindly, however famous the person might be. We should open to different ideas, but always think and determine for ourselves. As a saying goes, one man’s meat is another man’s poison. With that in mind, we are sure to find out our favorite writers through reading and develop our fine taste in English.

【1】What made the first English novel that the author read hard to understand?

A．Complicated conversations.

B．Sentences and Austen’s thinking pattern.

C．The old-fashioned vocabulary.

D．Not knowing the social background.

【2】When can best replace the underlined word “indispensable”?

A．Necessary.

B．Challenging.

C．Expert.

D．Responsible.

【3】What advice does the author give in the last paragraph?

A．Choose books that challenge us most.

B．Read books that are amazing.

C．Don't be affected by others’ choices.

D．Compare books before buying.

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

A．Give comments on literature works.

B．Tell beginners how to choose English books.

C．Encourage people to read more English books.

D．Recommend first class books to English learners.

24、   Everybody sleeps, but what people stay up late to catch or wake up early in order not to miss varies by culture. From data collected, it seems the things that cause us to lose the most sleep, on average, are sporting events, time changes, and holidays.

Russia’s late nights and early mornings generally correspond(相一致)to public holidays. On New Year’s Eve, Russians have the world’s latest bedtime, hitting the hay at around 3:30 a. m. Russians also get up an hour later on International Women’s Day, the day for treating and celebrating female relatives.

Similarly, Americans’ late nights, late mornings, and longest sleep fall on three-day weekends.

Canada got the least sleep of the year the night it beat Sweden in the Olympic hockey(冰球)final.

The World Cup is also chiefly responsible for sleep deprivation. The worst night for sleep in the U. K. was the night of the England-Italy match on June 14. British people stayed up a half-hour later to watch it, and then they woke up earlier than usual the next morning thanks to summer nights, the phenomenon in which the sun barely sets in northern countries in the summertime. That was nothing, though, compared to Germans, Italians, and the French, who stayed up around an hour and a half later on various days throughout the summer to watch the World Cup.

It should be made clear that not everyone has a tool to record their sleep patterns; in some of these nations, it’s likely that only the richest people do. And people who select to track their sleep may try to get more sleep than the average person. Even if that’s the case, the above findings are still striking. If the most health-conscious (注重健康的) among us have such deep swings(明显改变)in our sleep levels throughout the year, how much sleep are the rest of us losing?

【1】What do we learn about the Russians regarding sleep?

A.They don’t fall asleep until very late.

B.They don’t sleep much on weekends.

C.They get less sleep on public holidays.

D.They sleep longer than people elsewhere.

【2】The underlined word “deprivation” in the last paragraph but one means_______.

A.depression B.trouble

C.observation D.loss

【3】Why do some rich people use a tool to record their sleep patterns?

A.They want to get more sleep.

B.They have trouble falling asleep.

C.They are involved in a sleep research.

D.They want to go to bed on regular hours.

【4】What does the author imply in the last paragraph?

A.It is important to study our sleep patterns.

B.Few people really know the importance of sleep.

C.Sleeplessness does harm to people’s health.

D.Average people probably sleep more than the rich.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文，续写的词数应为150左右。

White puffs of bread were lined up in front of me, with the sea of mayonnaise (蛋黄酱) spread over them. How many times had I done this? How many more times would I be forced to do it? My dad would soon be leaving to feed the homeless.

My father and several volunteers gathered every day in the park to feed the hungry.

Luckily, I didn’t have to go there. It was enough trouble just to get everything ready. I really didn’t understand why my father bothered with it. I couldn’t wait for him to leave. I looked forward to a whole Saturday by myself. I planned to watch some television, talk with my friends on the phone, and maybe do some shopping during the afternoon.

It didn’t take long for my plans to change and my happiness to disappear. Dad came in while I was doing the packing and stood behind me.

I’m going to need your help today. Some of the volunteers that usually help me won't be able to make it.

“Dad, I can’t help today.” I said. “I have plans.” He just gave me the you-should-be-ashamed-of-yourself look. “Fine,” I said angrily.

I finished packing the sandwiches and followed Dad out to the van (货车). I wanted to cry. This was going to be the worst day ever. My dad always drove the van, which also contained clothes, shoes and small bags filled with personal items.

When we arrived at the park, people were already gathered under a tree waiting for us. We opened the back of the van and pulled out a long cafeteria tables and some chairs. I put the table on one side of the van with the food on it, while my dad lined up chairs on the other side for them to sit in.

I couldn’t believe so many people were there and all of them were homeless. I was surprised to learn my dad knew most of them by name. He also seemed to know what each one needed, what they had suffered and what landed them on the street.

Paragraph 1:

Then, a girl about my age caught my attention.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Paragraph 2:

When everyone was gone, we loaded things back into the van.
