For the first 18 years of my life, my mom cooked Chinese food every day, all served family-style. But when it came time for me to teach myself how to cook, I didn't ask my mom for help. Instead, like so many young people, I turned to the online recipes. By the time I got married, I could cook many dishes.What I didn't really know how to cook at all, however, was Chinese food.
Part of the problem was that I only knew how to cook by following recipes.And up until maybe 5 or10 years ago, the number of English-language recipes for Chinese dishes you could find in a cookbook or on the Internet still felt extremely limited--at least when it came to homey(家乡菜)，everyday recipes written with a younger Chinese American audience in mind.
That was the experience, too, for sisters Sarah and Kaitlin Leung. Like so many other ABCs(American-born Chinese) and younger first-and second-generation Chinese immigrants (移民)，the Leung sisters reached a point in their adult lives when they started to love to eat the food they'd grown up on, but found it really difficult to learn how to prepare it.
As it turns out , though , the Leung sisters were uniquely positioned to do something about it: Their father had spent years cooking at his family's Chinese American takeout restaurant. Their mom had deep knowledge about traditional Shanghainese cooking. Meanwhile,the two sisters had grown up in New York , eating their parents', food, but also immersed(沉浸) in America's own food culture.
So, in 2013, the Leungs started a food blog“The Woks of Life". What made their blog different from other blogs was that the intergenerational transfer of knowledge that the Leungs were so eager for was baked right into the concept: The four family members took turns posting recipes, each sharing their own favorites. In that way, Sarah says, the blog reflected-and continues to reflect--the diversity of the Chinese diaspora(华侨).
24.What partly stopped the author learning to cook Chinese dishes
A. He was too busy to cook at home. B.He had no access to such recipes.
C.He didn't like Chinese dishes at all. D.His mother left him no chance to cook.
25.Who might be the targeted readers of the Leungs' blog
A.Young American housewives.
B.Chinese adults living abroad.
C. The Chinese immigrant's family.
D.The Chinese chefs working in restaurants.
26.What sets the Leungs’blog apart from others'
A.Being written by several people.
B. Aiming to share people's favorite dishes.
C.Introducing Chinese baked food in particular.
D. Involving the intergenerational transfer of knowledge.
27. What can be the best title for the text
A. The Popularity of “The Woks of Life”
B.The Comeback of Chinese Food in America
C.Take a Glance of the Daily Life of Overseas Chinese
D.Help a New Generation of Chinese Americans Learn to Cook
C
Parks are the beating hearts of cities, providing crucial environments for wildlife of many sizes as well as areas of rest and recreation for local citizens. Accessible via public transport, and located near a university,a stadium and the National Library,Warsaw’s Pole Mokotowskie Park provides green space for many people.
One of the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s five pathways to transformative change for water management is to restore species population, ecosystems and the benefits that nature provides to people by using each city's advantage. As more urban centres seek new ways to unite greenery into the built environment, projects of all sizes and stages add to essential corridors and stopping points for a range of wildlife.
Tasked with improving Warsaw's Pole Mokotowskie Park's natural sustainability, architecture company WXCA looked at ways of enhancing the elements that were already in place to better support wildlife. One of the most visible means was the removal of thousands of square metres of concrete(混凝土).Removing concrete in and around ponds and other waterways allows the city's features to shape themselves naturally, in reaction to both the surrounding environment and the weather. Doing so can support biodiversity by removing artificial constraints and flows. More than 13.000 square metres of concrete has already been removed, with more removal planned over the next year.
For the human users of the park, the designers created education, activity; and art spaces.The Grand Salon,a grassland surrounded by trees, in for large public gatherings, and a handful of pavilions(亭)spread throughout the space provide visible means of monitoring the quality of the air and water. They also contribute to the park's ecosystem through rainwater harvesting. As the temperature consistently rises, city planners are using the leaves and branches of the plants and mixed use designs to reduce heat islands, improve air quality and prevent urban runoff.
28.What do we know about Warsaw's Pole Mokotowskie Park
A. It creates a new way to the city center.
B. It serves different community groups.
C. It reminds the public to protect the environment.
D. It shows the locals are living happily.
29. What are the projects in Paragraph 2 intended for
A. Providing stages to show off creativity.
B. Taking advantage of the city's resources.
C. Encouraging people to get close to nature.
D. Supplying various wildlife with more room.
30. What does the underlined word “constraints” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Limits. B.Factors. C.Methods D.Damages.
31. How do the pavilions help the ecosystem
A.By offering some shelters B.By collecting rainwater.
C.By monitoring the air quality. D.By reducing high temperature.
D
On September 7,1991,the costliest hailstorm(雹暴）in Canadian history hit Calgary’s southern suburbs.As a result, since 1996 a group of insurance companies have spent about $ 2 million per year on the Alberta Hail Suppression Project. Airplanes seed threatening storm with a chemical to make small ice crystals fall as rain before they can grow into dangerous hailstones. But farmers in east-central Albert—downwind of the hail project flights—worry that precious moisture（水分） is being stolen from their thirsty land by the cloud seeding.
Norman Stienwand,who farms in that area, has been addressing public meetings on this issue for years.“ Basically,the provincial government is letting the insurance companies protect the Calgary- Edmonton urban area from hail," Mr. Stienwand says, “but they're increasing drought risk as far east as Saskatchewan.”
The Alberta hail project is managed by Terry Krauss, a cloud physicist who works for Weather Modification Inc. of Fargo,North Dakota. “We affect only a very small percentage of the total moisture in the air, so we cannot be causing drought.” Dr. Krauss says. “In fact, we may be helping increase the moisture downwind by creating wetter ground.”
One doubter about the safety of cloud seeding is Chuck Doswell, a research scientist who just retired from the University of Oklahoma. “In 1999, I personally saw significant tornadoes(龙卷风)form from a seeded storm cell in Kansas,"Dr. Doswell says. " Does cloud seeding create killer storms or reduce moisture downwind No one really knows, course, but the seeding goes on.”
Given the degree of doubt, Mr. Stienwand suggests, "it would be wise to stop cloud seeding. In practice, doubt has had the opposite effect. Due to the lack of scientific proof concerning their impacts, no one has succeeded in winning a lawsuit against cloud-seeding companies. Hence,private climate engineering can proceed in relative legal safety.
32.What does the project aim to do
A.Conserve moisture in the soil. B.Prevent the formation of hailstones.
C.Forecast disastrous hailstorms. D. Investigate chemical use in farming.
33.Who are opposed to the project
A. Farmers in east-central Alberta. B.Managers of insurance companies.
C.Provincial government officials. D. Residents of Calgary and Edmonton.
34.Why does Dr. Doswell mention the tornadoes he saw in 1999
A.To compare different kinds of seeding methods.
B. To illustrate the development of big hailstorms.
C.To indicate a possible danger of cloud seeding.
D.To show the link between storms and moisture.
35.What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Scientific studies have proved Stienwand right.
B.Private climate engineering is illegal in Canada.
C. The doubt about cloud seeding has disappeared.
D. Cloud-seeding companies will continue to exist.

I love learning foreign languages so much that I learn a new language every two years. When people find I'm a polyglot(通晓多种语言的人)，they always ask me, "How do you do that ” Honestly, my answer will be, "I don't know. I simply love learning languages.” 36 They want to know why they spend years learning even one language, never achieving fluency, and what's the secret of being polyglots.
37 And what do we have in common I decided to find that out. I went to several event where language lovers gather to practice the languages, asked dozens of polyglots about methods they use, and heard dozens of approaches.Everybody seems to have a' unique way to speak several languages fluently
38 All these polyglots talked about languages learning as if it was great fun. They found ways to turn language learning from a boring subject into a pleasant daily activity. You should have seen their faces when they were showing me their colorful grammar charts and handmade flash cards. 39 The methods are various, but they make sure it's something enjoyable.
I realized it's actually how I learn. 40 Then interesting programs became my choice. So all is clear. If you don’t like writing words down on paper, type them in an app. If you're a shy person, apply self-talk at home. This is how polyglots learn languages, and the best news is that it's available to anyone willing to take the learning into their own hands.
How can those with little talent be fluent
B. But people are never happy with the reply.
C. There's no shortcut to learning languages for anyone.
D. One of them even made recipes in a foreign language.
E. That made me wonder, too, how other polyglots actually do it.
F. When learning Spanish last year, I was bored with textbooks.
G. Polyglots simply found ways to enjoy the language- learning process.

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。
I come from a family that had never had a single record of autism (自闭症) until the day I was born. When I was two years old, my parents noticed some of my “out of ordinary” behaviors. I seldom played with other children. I often got angry easily and was difficult to deal with.
Soon after my parents noticed these signs, they took me to a child psychiatrist (精神科医生), who eventually informed them that I have been diagnosed with a type of autism called PDD-NOS, a disorder that delays the growth of a child’s brain, which included separating from friends or family and slow processing of speech, thinking and learning skills. My parents were initially shocked at this disease but they were prepared to positively changed my life.
As I got older, I began to notice how the other kids were able to answer questions in class a lot faster than I could understand. From that year on, I had received special accommodations for my coursework, such as sit-ting in front of the class to read the board better, and taking longer time on tests.
Since fourth grade, I joined my school’s marching band, something I never had any interest in, but my mom convinced me that it was a great way to not only make friends, but to help gain more confidence in myself. I played the trumpet for two years, and after that, I played the horn.
At the same time during fourth grade, I discovered my talent for creative writing. I wrote my first Spider-Man story. After that I often helped my fellow classmates and peer groups write essays. As the years passed, I became more confident. When I was fifteen years old, I was elected as class president in a high school, but I was still unaware about my diagnosis.

Dear fellow students,
It’s my honour to share our experience, as our group's poster designed for World Oceans Day won the first prize.
Aimed at cultivating awareness of ocean conservation, our poster was titled “Protecting the Ocean, Our Responsibility”, whose theme was to protect marine diversity. First of all, we had a heated discussion, making a clear division of tasks. Additionally, despite all the difficulties, we cooperated to overcome them. Finally, we appealed to everyone to spare no effort to protect the ocean.
In conclusion, this activity fostered our awareness of marine protection, which was greatly beneficial to our environment.
Thank you!
【读后续写】
One day after school I came home and entered my parents’ house. At some point, I found some papers scattered across the corner of one room near a filing cabinet. I picked them up and began reading because I was curious. The bottom of one of the papers said, “Autism diagnosis confirmed,” and I kept reading through the other papers to find a checklist of my habits; it was from that fateful psychiatrist appointment thirteen years prior to my discovery. In that moment, I finally learned the real truth about myself.
I was moved to tears when I read the doctor’s diagnosis. My parents kept it from me because they thought it would affect my self-esteem to the point that I felt like a strange child to others, but I wasn’t mad at them. I understood why they’d hide this from me because they really love me, and ever since then, I’ve accepted who I am, and I use my talents to help others who need a friend. This will brighten my way forward forever.

W: Good afternoon, I’m Ella. My blog is about clothes for students. I didn’t get many hits at first, but one newspaper wrote something about me, and more people started to look at the blog. Then, a local TV channel interviewed me for a program. Since then, the blog has developed even faster, so I’m no longer working alone. A photographer agreed to take some shot s for the site. To better show the clothes, my brother Eden offered to be my model. And I considered hiring a make-up artist. Luckily, Bonnie, my talented friend, helped me. I make sure I include all kinds of clothes to suit a range of tastes for my readers. I try and think about their budgets, too. Most of the clothes I talk about are readily available. As well as showing the latest styles, I also feature classic clothes I’ve found in second-hand shops. Believe it or not, those from the 1920s are the richest sources of ideas for my recent blog posts, although people enjoyed the clothes from the 1970s most. I also got positive comments about stuff from the 1980s.
