Hovis has been making krumkake since she learned as a young girl alongside her grandma. Every Christmas, Hovis family would drive from DeKalb to Rochelle, where she and her mom would join her grandma in the kitchen. The rest of the family would hang out in the living room where they could smell the sweet treats as they waited to bite into the crispy cookies.
Grandma died when she was 13, but the krumkake tradition didn’t end then. This Christmas, Hovis is headed to her aunt’s house where she plans to make krumkake with her two nephews (侄子). “I’ll be able to share that with them and tell them the story of their great grandmother,” Hovis said.
“Hopefully they will have an interest in continuing that ... so the recipe and the tradition can carry on.”

By day, Robert Titterton is a lawyer. In his spare time, though, he goes on stage beside pianist Maria Raspopova— not as a musician but as her page turner. “I’m not a trained musician, but I’ve learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance.”
Mr Titterton is chairman of the Omega Ensemble but has been the group’s official page turner for the past four years. His job is to sit beside the pianist and tum the pages of the score(乐谱) so the musician doesn’t have to break the flow of sound by doing it themselves. He said he became just as nervous as those playing instruments on stage.
“A lot of skills are needed for the job. You have to make sure you don’t turn two pages at once and make sure you find the repeats in the music when you have to go back to the right spot.” Mr Titterton explained.
Being a page turner requires plenty of practice. Some pieces of music can go for 40 minutes and needs up to 50 page turns, including back turns for repeats. Silent onstage communication is key, and each pianist has their own style of “nodding” to indicate(表明:暗示) a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner.
But like all performances, there are moments when things go wrong. “I was turning the page to get ready for the next page, but the draft wind from the turn caused the spare pages to fall off the stand,” Mr Titterton said, “Luckily I was able to catch them and put them back.”
Most page turners are piano students or up-and-coming concert pianists, although Ms Raspopova has once asked her husband to help her out on stage.
“My husband is the worst page turner,” she laughed. “He’s interested in the music, feeling every note(音符), and I have to say; ‘Tum, tum!’ “Robert is the best page turner I’ve had in my life.”
24. What should Titterton be able to do to be a page turner
A. Read music. B. Play the piano. C. Sing songs. D. Fix the instruments.
25. Which of the following best describes Titterton’s job on stage
A. Boring. B. Well-paid. C. Demanding. D. Dangerous.
26. What does Titterton need to practise
A. Counting the pages. B. Recognizing the “nodding”.
C. Catching falling objects. D. Performing in his own style.
27. Why is Ms Raspopova’s husband “the worse page turner”
A. He has very poor eyesight. B. He ignores the audience.
C. He has no interest in music. D. He forgets to do his job.
C
As climate change quickly advances, many Middle Eastern countries are making the change from oil-based economies to ones that attract people from around the world-for travelling, business, work or to live.
One such example is NEOM to be built in Saudi Arabia. A key part of NBOM is “The Line”, an AS725 billion futuristic(未来派的) city which will house 9 million people. It is a mirrored wall-like building, 200 meters wide and 500 meters tall. To be built in north-western Tabuk province, the project will spread 170 kilometres from the Red Sea across deserts, mountains and valleys.
At first look, the project appears environmentally impressive, The city area is no more than 100 metres from any point in the city. A high-speed electric public transport service makes sure every part of The Line is within 20 minutes away. Unfortunately, as is many high-rise buildings with a large population inside, a vertical(垂直的) transportation system would be needed, for it is equal to a 125-floor building.
The project costs also seem OK at USS5,000 per person. Let’s say this is achievable(做的成的) in a country like Saudi Arabia and only covers infrastructure(基础设施). Even so, it remains to be see a how super-high- speed transport and most advanced infrastructure and services in the hugest building ever built can be cost-effective.
The Line is planned for green living. Energy comes from renewable(可更新的) sources, waste water is recycled(回收), and it owns the latest “smart city” and mixed-use building technologies. Car ownership is avoided in favour of walking, cycling and public transport.
However, the materials to be used and the building of such a big project could be very harmful to the environment. The plan says no one would be more than two minutes from nature. But does this include the waiting times for a lift Without careful design, a high dependence on vertical transportation may ruin the pleasure of walk able or bicycle-friendly areas.
28. Why will “The Line” be built in Saudi Arabia
A. To take a step towards green economies.
B. To attract more tourists from all over the world.
C. To house the increasing population in Saudi Arabia.
D. To make preparations for a project known as NEOM.
29. How does the author introduce “The Line” in paragraph 2
A. By giving an example. B. By expressing opinions.
C. By providing numbers. D. By making a comparison.
30. What do we know about “The Line”
A. It will possibly cost AS725 million to build.
B. It will be completely environmentally friendly.
C. It will require a vertical transportation system.
D. It will be a 125-floor mirrored wall-like building.
31. What attitude docs the author take towards “The Line”
A. Unclear. B. Doubtful. C. Unconcerned. D. Hopeful.
D
When put to the test, bees have proved over and over again that they’ve got a lot more to offer than making honey and now some scientists say there’s proof that they also like to play. A study recently published in Animal Behavior suggests that bumblebees, when given the chance, like to fool around with toys.
Researchers from Queen Mary University of London conducted an experiment in which they set up a container (容器) that allowed bees to travel from their nest to a feeding area. But along the way, the bees could choose to pass through a separate section with several small wooden balls. Over 18 days, the scientists watched as the bees "went out of their way to roll wooden balls repeatedly(重复地), though there seems to be no apparent reason to drive them to do so.
The finding suggests that like humans, insects also interact(互动) with inanimate objects (无生命的物体) as a form of play. Also similar to people, younger bees seemed to be more playful than adult bees. “Previous research has shown that there are lots of animals who play just for the purpose of enjoyment, but most examples come from young mammals and birds. This study provides a strong indication that insect minds are far more advanced than we might imagine,” Lars Chittka, who led the study, said,
The study’s first author, Samadi Galpayage, who is a PhD student at Queen Mary University, added that it is the evidence that insects may be able to experience feelings. “They can actually experience some kind of positive emotional states, even if basic, like other larger fluffy (覆有绒毛的) animals do. This sort of finding has led to our understanding of insects and will, hopefully, encourage us to respect and protect life on earth ever more,” she said in the statement,
32. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. The conclusion (结论) of the research.
B. The assumption (假设) about the bees.
C The description of the experiment.
D. The reasons for conducting the experiment.
33. What does the underlined word “apparent” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Clear. B. Preventable. C. Horrible. D. Different.
34. What can we learn from the study
A. Birds like to fool around with toys.
B. Toys are more enjoyable to adult bees.
C. Humans hardly interact with lifeless objects for fun.
D. Insect minds are better developed than we thought.
35. Which statement will Samadi Galpayage agree to
A. Insects experience the same emotions as humans do.
B. Fluffy animals fail to show positive emotional states.
C. More work is needed to protect endangered life on earth.
D. The finding improves our understanding of living things.

The suona only has eight holes, and breath and fingers(手指) are all a performer depends on lo control the pitch and tone(音质). 39 The instrument looks simple, but it can vividly imitate(生动地模仿) the voice or singing of a human being or even the sounds of Chinese opera. 40 The eight-hale instrument has been called the “eight-eyed monkey” because like a monkey it is difficult to control.
A. Actually, it is difficult to master the suona.

Dear Chris,
Learning that you are enthusiastic about Chinese culture, I’m writing to invite you to attend a calligrapher exhibition themed Beautiful China, which is to be held in the school hall next Saturday.
As planned, a video about the Chinese writing system will be played first to show its long history. What follows is the display of outstanding calligraphers’ masterpieces. Calligraphy lovers will find it a reast. Most importantly visitors can practise Chinese calligraphy under the guidance of a calligraphy teacher. The exhibition is now under busy preparation and it will increase your appreciation of Chinese culture.
I hope you can come. Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
