All my family members like eating bread and cakes. My grandmother loves making them, and is always surprised that the rest of my family never do any baking. So my parents decided they'd take me and my younger sister to go on a training 11 so that we could all find out how to make bread and pizzas, our favourite food! We booked our places, 12 set off for Oakton Farm in the countryside.
It was a very 13 drive, and when we arrived, we went straight to bed. The next morning, we 14 early, fed the ducks on the lake, and looked at the bull in the field. Then we met our 15 , Michael, who seemed quite strict, and the other parents and children, who were really friendly.
The cooking part was brilliant. Michael gave us long white coats to wear, which we all felt a bit silly in. Then we all made bread rolls, 16 flour(面粉) and water with our hands. My sister kept complaining(抱怨) 17 . Then she started to enjoy it, and to concentrate(集中注意力) on 18 the instructions. Dad made a mess. I got flour on the floor and in my hair, but Mum didn't even get angry! It took me a long 19 to make my rolls, though.
We finally put our initials(名字的首字母) 20 the bottom of each roll, then made some pizzas and decorated them, which was fun. And we didn't even have to do the washing-up! While the pizzas were being cooked, we all went for a swim in the lake. It was fantastic. Then we went back and ate our pizzas. They were the best we'd ever tasted!

Now I'm going to show you how to work with chocolate. It won't take long to make a chocolate dessert(甜点). I'll do it in a "bain-marie", or, well, some people call it "water bath". I myself love the name "bain-marie". To make a "bain-marie", you need two pots, one bigger than the other.
First, break the chocolate into small pieces and put them in the smaller pot. Usually when making chocolate desserts, you'll need to mix chocolate with butter and sugar. So if you do, put them in the pot too.
Now, half fill the bigger pot with warm water. Put the smaller pot over the bigger one, and start to slowly mix the chocolate, the butter, and the sugar together. Keep the water temperature under 50℃, or the chocolate may not look good. And make sure that no water goes in the smaller pot, or the chocolate will become hard and cannot be used.
Keep mixing for about five to ten minutes, and the job is done. Easy, right
( )21.What does the underlined word "them" mean in Paragraph 2
A. Bains-marie.
B. Butter and sugar.
C. Chocolate desserts.
D. Small pieces of chocolate.
( )22.[课标新增|图文转换]From the passage, which picture best shows the "bain-marie" way of working with chocolate
( )23.Who may find the passage most useful

①DIY means "Do It Yourself". It is quite popular in the UK.
②DIY can bring us fun. English people like DIY. A large number of people spend their holidays making their homes beautiful. If they want to paint the walls or put in a new shower, they will do the jobs themselves. They share DIY experience with their friends. So more and more people have discovered the joy of DIY. Sometimes people use DIY for saving money. With the economic downturn(经济低迷) now, many people can not buy a big house. They are thinking about how they can make their houses better without spending a lot of money. It is not surprising that DIY is so popular.
③DIY can be difficult. People often find it not easy to build a piece of furniture because they can't understand the instructions. Sometimes the instructions are simple and clear, but the furniture itself is difficult to build. One thing is for sure: though most DIY projects are started with the best ideas, many of them may not get finished.
④DIY can also be dangerous. Unluckily, many people don't care about it and put themselves in danger. It is reported that in just one year over 230,000 people were hurt while doing DIY in the UK, including 41,000 who fell off ladders.
⑤So DIY can bring us fun and help us save money, but it is not always as easy as it is thought to be.
( )24.Why do English people like DIY
A. Because many stores sell DIY things.
B. Because DIY can bring them fun.
C. Because TV programmes teach them to do things by themselves.

[课标理念|文化意识]As a kind of traditional Chinese art, paper cutting has a long history. The first and earliest paper cutting was found in China about 1,500 years ago. But the traditional art is at risk of disappearing(消失) now. Luckily, Voyo Woo, a Chinese immigrant(移民), is trying to bring the art back to life.
One Saturday, Ms Woo held a paper cutting show at a shopping centre near Washington. She got much fun and peace by doing it. She hoped more people would enjoy it.
Ms Woo began to study paper cutting as a 14-year-old girl in her hometown in China. She said all the students at school had to learn paper cutting. But she had a deep love for it. So her teacher spent more time teaching her after class. Later, she won second prize in a national painting and calligraphy(书法) competition. Ms Woo went to America after she finished college in 2008. Soon after that, she took part in an activity to promote Chinese paper cutting. And then she was invited to show the art in many important activities. "It is important to promote the art to Americans or anyone who is interested in it. Maybe it will make the art more popular," Woo said.
From paper cutting, people can know about Chinese cultural values, history and stories of people's life. Ms Woo uses the art as a tool to show Chinese culture to the people who know little about it. Chinese art is not only for Chinese, but also for people all over the world.

Ink brushes, ink, paper and inkstones(砚台) are the "Four Treasures of the Study(文房四宝)" in China. They have been must-haves for fans of calligraphy and Chinese painting. The Jiangzhou Chengni inkstone in Shanxi province is one of China's most famous inkstones. It is known for its fine texture(质地). 32.
The skill in making Jiangzhou Chengni inkstones can date back to the Han Dynasty. However, it was lost at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
In 1986, Lin Yongmao and his son Lin Tao decided to revive(复活) this ancient skill. They visited libraries to read historical papers about the inkstone. 33. They walked along the Fenhe River and collected mud of all kinds to find the best one. To know the best temperature of firing clay(黏土), they spent sleepless nights keeping a close watch on the kiln(窑) in smoke.
34. One of the key steps is mud filtering(过滤). "The mud needs to be filtered over and over again till it feels like flour," he said.
After many difficulties, they succeeded in making three Chengni inkstones. In 1994, their inkstones won a gold prize at the China Expo of Famous Inkstones.
Lin Xiaolin, Lin Tao's son, is a third-generation inheritor of the Chengni inkstone craftsmanship. 35. He created new ways to make the Chengni inkstone. By controlling the temperature of the kiln, he increased the colors of the Chengni inkstone from three to eight.
In 2013, Lin Tao built the China Jiangzhou Chengni Inkstone Cultural Park. 36. "Passing on the skill holds the key to keeping it alive," he said.
根据材料内容,从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项,使短文意思通顺、内容完整。
A. However, bringing it back to life was no easy task.
B. In 2019, the 33-year-old returned from his studies abroad.
C. It feels like "a baby's skin" and can do less harm to the brush.
D. More than 10,000 people have visited the park to learn the old skill.
E. According to them, it takes over a year and more than 10 steps to make a Chengni inkstone.

My First DIY Work
DIY is very popular among young people. I finished my first DIY work yesterday. Last week, I bought some paint and two brushes on the Internet. Before painting the walls, I read the instructions carefully. At first, I painted all the walls blue. But the room looked a little dull and boring. At last, I decided to draw some colorful fish and a boat on the wall. There was paint everywhere. I had to spend an hour cleaning the room. Now the room looks really beautiful.
I want to know more about DIY. Thus, I will take a course in DIY. I will also buy more books about it.
