AHow did the ancient Chinese keep food warm in winter?Facilities like electric rice cookers, microwaves, and electric kettles, make it easy for people to keep food warm and enjoy a comfortable winter. So how did Chinese people in ancient times keep food warm in winter without these? In fact, ancient Chinese people used their own methods of heat preservation as early as the Shang and Zhou dynasties.●“Wen Ding”, ancient rice cookerOne of the major functions of an electric rice cooker is to keep food warm. The“Wen Ding”, an ancient cooking container, served the same purpose, but instead of using electric energy, the ancient cooking container preserved heart by burning fuels like charcoal(木炭).●“Ran Lu”, ancient small hot potThe “Ran LU” is a small size cooking vessel(器皿) made of bronze, which can be divided into three parts. A charcoal stove forms the main structure, with a bottom tray to hold charcoal ashes, and a movable cup at the top. Some experts have concluded that the vessel’s structure suggests it may have been used as a small hot pot and that these vessels became popular in the Warring States Period(475—221 BC)●“Bronze You”, ancient kettleThe Bronze You was one of the most common wine containers during the Shang and Zhou dynasties. The Bronze You can also be used to warm wine. For example, the Bronze You with beast mask design, unearthed in Jiangxi province, has an opening where charcoals could be placed. Just as people today can’t do without an electric kettle, the Bronze You allowed people to enjoy a hot drink.●“Bronze Yan”, ancient steamerAlthough the “Wen Ding” was effective at keeping food warm, the ancient Chinese people later found that its burning produced pollution. As a result, the “Bronze Yan ”was made with a two-tier structure and used to steam rice and other grains. After the Eastern Han Dynasty (AD 25-AD 220), further improvements to the“Bronze Yan” led to the modern-day steamer.21. When did the “Ran Lu” become popular?A. In the Zhou Dynasty.B. In the Warring States Period.C. In the Eastern Han dynasty.D.In the Stone Age.22. The “Bronze You”, unearthed in Jiangxi province, has an opening toA. place charcoalB. pour waterC. store wineD. hold charcoal ashes23. What is the unique advantage of the“Bronze Yan” ?A. It is warm.B. It is convenient.C. It is environment-friendly.D. It is useful.BI took a motor rickshaw to the train station in the city of Belapur. The driver didn’t speak much English, but understood “Belapur Railway Station”. I had my tabla, a traditional drum from India, my suitcase with my clothes and other essentials. The feeling of flying by cars in this little machine is: as if you are inside a box with tiny wheels, dashing through terrible traffic.I arrived at the station safely, and took a heavy breath as I unloaded my baggage before the ticket office. It was the first time that I had taken a train in India.I wanted to go to Tilak Nagar, where I was going to learn traditional vocal music. Standing in line, I counted at least 20 people staring at me. I bought my ticket, which was only 55 cents for a 20-minute train ride. The prices still blow me away.When the train came after 15 minutes or so, I got on with all speed, as the trainonly stops for a few seconds. The locals again stared at me. This was a train especially for local transport. After a while, a young man asked me if he could talk to me. He wanted to know if I was in a band. I stated no, but I love to play the tabla. Through the conversation I knew he was a student of engineering with his exams being tomorrow — I wished him good luck for the exams sincerely, as I know what it means to Indian students to get good marks on their exams. If students do not get good enough scores, job opportunities will be few in a highly-competitive environment.The student I met helped me unload my luggage as the train reached Tilak Nagar Station. He shook my hand strongly and looked into my eyes with marks of genuine care and friendship, despite us meeting for only 20 minutes.24. Which of the following best explains the author’s feeling of riding in a motor rickshaw?A. Relaxed.B. Excited.C. Frightened.D. Courageous.25. Why did so many people stare at the author at the station?A. Because he was carrying a strange instrument.B. Because he was a foreigner to the local people.C. Because his suitcase was too large for him.D. Because he couldn’t understand what they said.26. What do we know about the young man mentioned in the passage?A. He wanted to learn to play tabla from the author.B. He was a student on the way to a university.C. He was a genuine and helpful university student.D. He wished to find a job in Tilak Nagar.27. What can be the best title for the text?A. My First Train Travel in IndiaB. A Warm-hearted Indian Student I MetC. I Learn to Play the Tabla in IndiaD. Traveling Is the Most Memorial TimeCExploration is about how we experience the geography. A geography education without actively learning how to explore places is as frustrating as teaching music lessons without sound. Besides that, exploration has the potential to be one of the most enjoyable and rewarding things we humans will ever do. It can be good for developing problem-solving, teamwork, social and other vital skills. Therefore, we should be given the opportunities to learn properly how to do it.The sad reality is that millions of children are socially and geographically deprived(剥夺) of the opportunities. Their learning environments lack the diversity of places and experience-based opportunities that they need to develop well and as a result, they will not reach their full potential.There is plenty of research showing that many children have little time and space to explore, play and learn outdoors. Perhaps most shockingly, Dirt is Good conducted a survey which found that three-quarters of UK children spend less time outside than prisoners, that the amount of time children spend playing in natural places has decreased and that a fifth of children do not play outside on an average day.There are a large number of good and complex reasons why parents do not let their children play (and so learn) outdoors and not overcoming these barriers comes with its own risks. Changing the parenting cultures that are overly limiting many children’s freedom will potentially need efforts of generation after generation.Partially as a response to this situation, an increasing number of doctors are providing social prescriptions(处方). Instead of being offered medicine for mental or physical illness, young patients are being prescribed time with nature, volunteering, doing sports or some other activities instead.Teachers are, in many ways, in a better position to provide time and space for children to benefit from experiences that help them not only to learn, but also to be well. Teachers can spare both formal and informal time and space for exploration that helps not only children who are ill, but also those who are well.28. What does paragraph 1 mainly talk about?A.The way to reach full potential.B.The methods of doing exploration.C. The importance of doing exploration.D. The different attitudes to exploration.29. What can we learn from the survey of Dirt is Good?A. Prisoners in the UK are treated very well.B. There aren’t enough natural places in many countries.C. Children are becoming less outgoing nowadays.D. Children are badly in need of outdoor time.30. What do we know about the process of changing the parenting cultures ?A. It’s interesting but tiring.B. It’s complex and risky.C. It’s challenging but worthwhile.D. It’s troublesome and demanding.31. What does the author want to say by mentioning social prescriptions?A. Traditional medicines may have side effects.B. Playing outside can promote people’s health.C. Experienced doctors are in short supply.D. Mental illness needs special treatment.DEvery year from March to October, Christian Moullec, also known as “Birdman,”takes to the skies aboard his adapted light aircraft. However, the 58-year-old Frenchman’s daily 30-minute flight is not just to enjoy the impressive views, but to guide flocks (鸟群) of lesser white-fronted geese (小白额雁) through safe migration paths which the birds can teach future generations.His deed began in 1995 when he noticed their declining population in the wilds of Lapland, Sweden. To prevent their numbers from dropping further, Moullec tried to get the threatened species to follow him along migration routes that would protect them from bird hunters.However, getting grown geese to follow his lead proved challenging. As young geese imitate and follow whomever they view as their parent, Moullec decided to raise the geese from birth.To help raise funds and awareness of his job to protect not just the geese but birds worldwide, Moullec often allows paying tourists to join him on the30-minute-long flights aboard his aircraft. In addition to the trained birds flying alongside them, visitors, who come from as far as a 15-hour plane flight away, are treated to a variety of crane and geese species as well as breathtaking views of castles and cities.He often brings his camera along for the flights, capturing photos not just for their beauty, but for what they describe. Moullec believes the use of agricultural chemicals has done harm to wild European birds, with more than a third disappearing in the last 30 years. “It's a disaster,” he said. “My beautiful images with flying birds should be used to tell this story. ”32.Why does “Birdman” always fly to the sky on his aircraft?A. To guide geese fly safely during the migration.B. To follow geese through safe migration paths.C. To take visitors to operate his adapted aircraft.D. To observe geese along their migration routes.33.What do we know about “Birdman”?A. He is a nature lover.B. He is a bird watcher.C. He is a volunteer pilot.D. He is a bird hunter.34. What does Moullec often take photos in his flights for?A. Recording the use of agricultural chemicals.B. Showing serious damage caused by chemicals.C. Describing his experiences with flying birds.D. Capturing the beautiful views of birds and cities.35. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Birdman Guides Flocks to Learn to Fly.B. Birdman Finds Birds Disappearing.C. Birdman Protects Birds From Hunters.D. Birdman Helps Flocks Safely Migrate.第二节（共5小题，每题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
