(2023上·江苏·高三校联考阶段练习)We The Curious
Formerly known as At-Bristol, this harbourside science museum relaunched in 2017 as We The Curious to better reflect its mission to get kids to ask questions and engage in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (Stem subjects) in creative ways.
Best things about it
My kids don’t shy away from telling me if they think a museum is boring but here they were too busy rushing from one hands-on exhibit to the next to have any such complaint. They dressed up as bees to catch pollen (花粉) made cheese, watched ice form, weighed human brains and stretched out strips of DNA to compare the genetic sequence (基因序列) of a monkey and an armadillo.
Value for money
Given that the science museums in London, Manchester and Newcastle are free, it does jar (不一致) having to pay 14.50 for adults and 9.50 for kids (aged 3—15) to get in. Kids under 3 are free. I did have to push them out the door at the end of the day. Weeks on, they still refer back to things they learnt there.
Getting there
We The Curious is near the National Cycle Network (routes 3, 4, and 33). The museum has lots of bicycle parking. Alternatively, it’s a 10-minute walk from Bristol Temple Meads railway station or a five-minute taxi ride or 17-minute ferry ride. If driving, follow the We The Curious brown signs and park at the Millennium Square car park for free.
Opening hours
Monday to Friday 10 am—5 pm, 10 am-6 pm at weekends and Bristol school holidays; closed 24—26 December.
22. What highlights We The Curious

【答案】22. C 23. D 24. C

23. 数字计算题。根据第三段中的“pay 14.50 for adults and 9.50 for kids (aged 3—15)”可知,成人14.5英镑,3—15岁的孩子9.5英镑,所以一对夫妇带一对5岁的双胞胎儿子需要的花费是:14.5×2+9.5×2=48英镑。故选D。
24. 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“We The Curious is near the National Cycle Network (routes 3, 4, and 33). The museum has lots of bicycle parking.

(2023上·江苏无锡·高三校联考阶段练习)We all scream for ice cream!
Ice cream may be universally appealing, but many countries have their own version of ice cream that’s often not called ice cream. Let’s learn about these tasty “ice creams” around the world and awaken your inner child!
● Raspado, Mexico
Raspados are the Mexican version of American snow cones (冰沙). But while snow cones are made using overly sweet syrup (糖浆), raspados have real fruits or fresh fruit juices. The sweet and cold treat is everywhere throughout Mexico and sold at street carts (手推车). You won’t find Mexicans eating their raspados in cones since they’re only served in cups.
● Kakigori, Japan
It may be made of ice, but kakigori, the Japanese version of ice cream, is most definitely not a snow cone. It melts in your mouth just like a creamy ice cream. Chefs make kakigori by shaving ice from ice blocks until it builds into a soft pile. Then, syrups of various flavors, like green tea, strawberry, grape and melon, are added to the ice. Kakigori is almost always served in a bowl, and it’s not unusual to find sweet shops offering toppings as the final touch, most commonly red bean paste or fresh fruit.
● Gelato, Italy
Pizza and pasta aside, gelato is considered to be Italy’s food symbol. In fact, visiting the local gelateria is a way of life for Italians. Italian gelato is lower in fat than traditional ice cream and is made with whole milk, eggs, sugar and flavoring — chocolate, hazelnut, pistachio (开心果) or vanilla (香草) ice cream mixed with pieces of chocolate are the most beloved flavors.
● Dondurma, Turkey
An ice cream that doesn’t melt Yes, that’s exactly what dondurma or Turkish ice cream is. Dondurma has an elastic texture (弹性口感) and buying dondurma is like watching a performance. The men who sell it wear traditional Turkish clothes, twist and turn the ice cream until it lands into the cone to be served. Kids and adults get a kick out of the show.
37. What do Raspado and Kakigori have in common
A. They have an ice cream-like texture. B. They are usually sold at street carts.
C. They are made of real fruits. D. They are not served in cones.
38. Which version of “ice cream” is greatly fitted into the social life of local people

A. Its popularity among people of all ages. B. Its unusual flavor combinations.
C. The interesting way it’s served. D. The low fat level it has.

38. 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Pizza and pasta aside, gelato is considered to be Italy’s food symbol. In fact, visiting the local gelateria is a way of life for Italians.(除了披萨和意大利面,意大利冰淇淋被认为是意大利的食物象征。事实上,参观当地的冰淇淋店是意大利人的一种生活方式。)”可知,意大利冰淇淋已经融入了当地人的生活。故选B。
39. 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Dondurma has an elastic texture(弹性口感) and buying dondurma is like watching a performance. The men who sell it wear traditional Turkish clothes, twist and turn the ice cream until it lands into the cone to be served.

(2023上·江苏淮安·高三校联考期中)Each US university and college sets its own admission standards and decides which applicants meet those standards. But the steps are the same for each. Here are some of the major steps you will follow:
Timing
Universities and colleges in the US usually offer two main academic terms: Spring terms run from January to May, and fall terms run from mid-August or September to December. While each US university and college will have different dates for applying to programs, application submissions are usually open and accepted 10months before the program starts.
Application

Take admissions tests
Students applying to universities and colleges in the US must take certain examinations (SAT, ACT, GMAT, etc. ) that measure achievement. International students must also take a test that measures English language excellence. These tests are given at test centers around the world. They are “standardized”, so that students take the same test at every test center. Your scores give the admissions office a uniform international standard for measuring your ability in comparison with other students.
Receive acceptance letters
After the application deadline, you will begin receiving letters from your chosen schools. Some universities inform candidates of their acceptance soon after their documents have arrived in the admissions office; this is called ”rolling admissions”. Other schools, however, wait several months and inform all candidates at one time.

(2023上·江苏无锡·高三校联考阶段练习)We all scream for ice cream!
Ice cream may be universally appealing, but many countries have their own version of ice cream that’s often not called ice cream. Let’s learn about these tasty “ice creams” around the world and awaken your inner child!
● Raspado, Mexico
Raspados are the Mexican version of American snow cones (冰沙). But while snow cones are made using overly sweet syrup (糖浆), raspados have real fruits or fresh fruit juices. The sweet and cold treat is everywhere throughout Mexico and sold at street carts (手推车). You won’t find Mexicans eating their raspados in cones since they’re only served in cups.
● Kakigori, Japan
It may be made of ice, but kakigori, the Japanese version of ice cream, is most definitely not a snow cone. It melts in your mouth just like a creamy ice cream. Chefs make kakigori by shaving ice from ice blocks until it builds into a soft pile. Then, syrups of various flavors, like green tea, strawberry, grape and melon, are added to the ice. Kakigori is almost always served in a bowl, and it’s not unusual to find sweet shops offering toppings as the final touch, most commonly red bean paste or fresh fruit.
● Gelato, Italy
Pizza and pasta aside, gelato is considered to be Italy’s food symbol. In fact, visiting the local gelateria is a way of life for Italians. Italian gelato is lower in fat than traditional ice cream and is made with whole milk, eggs, sugar and flavoring — chocolate, hazelnut, pistachio (开心果) or vanilla (香草) ice cream mixed with pieces of chocolate are the most beloved flavors.
● Dondurma, Turkey
An ice cream that doesn’t melt Yes, that’s exactly what dondurma or Turkish ice cream is. Dondurma has an elastic texture (弹性口感) and buying dondurma is like watching a performance. The men who sell it wear traditional Turkish clothes, twist and turn the ice cream until it lands into the cone to be served. Kids and adults get a kick out of the show.
37. What do Raspado and Kakigori have in common
A. They have an ice cream-like texture. B. They are usually sold at street carts.
C. They are made of real fruits. D. They are not served in cones.
38. Which version of “ice cream” is greatly fitted into the social life of local people
A. Raspado. B. Gelato. C. Dondurma. D. Kakigori.
39. What is special about Dondurma
A. Its popularity among people of all ages. B. Its unusual flavor combinations.
C. The interesting way it’s served. D. The low fat level it has.
