21、Holidays can be very exciting but they require a bit of preparation in advance to make sure everything goes smoothly. One requirement is to pack for the trip — and an organizational expert has exposed an important luggage (行李) mistake.
Holidays see many travelers grabbing (抓住;攫取) the majority of their clothing while packing in a panic, but they won't have enough options when they get to their destination. This often ends up in overpacking, and numerous items never being worn. It's important to think carefully about what you put in your luggage. Cutting down the items to take is key.
An organizational expert, Vicky Silverthorn, provides some tips around how packing can be made much easier. The result is a less stressful (紧张的) experience, meaning people get more out of their holidays.
One of Vicky’s top holiday tips is to make sure you pack clothes together. “Everyone’s made the mistake of not thinking through clothes while packing — throwing random items into a suitcase before realizing that nothing goes,” Vicky told Express.co.uk. “To avoid this, pack complete clothes together so that every item has a purpose. When you come to unpack they’ll be ready to wear, and it always works to separate them out by ‘pool’, ‘beach’, ‘evening’ and so on.”
Vicky claims, “The night before you travel is also important — and, if you’re travelling early, you can make life easier for yourself in advance. One top tip is to leave your suitcase by the front door along with a list of things to do before you leave the house. If you do this the night before you’ll limit the chances of forgetting any key details, this can be particularly vital if you’re flying with family.”
【1】What’s the purpose of this passage?
A．To make a summary about traveling.
B．To advertise traveling for a company.
C．To inform some guidelines about traveling.
D．To provide some suggestions about how to pack.
【2】What do holidaymakers mostly do when packing?
A．They are in a panic while packing.
B．They take too many clothing never being worn.
C．They won't have enough options about their destination.
D．They think carefully about what they put in their luggage.
【3】Vicky suggests ________.
A．packing together with someone
B．throwing random items into a suitcase
C．arranging clothes for a specific purpose
D．wearing suitable clothes to a certain place
【4】Why should a traveler put things near the front door?
A．Because he travels early.
B．Because the front door is near.
C．Because he can fly with his family
D．Because it might prevent leaving important items behind.
22、When you’re on holiday, it’s so natural to enjoy the perfect gin moment. You’re sitting on a sunny balcony, enjoying the view and watching the locals. You realize you’ve done it; you’re living la dolce vita — the sweet life.
That’s what the aperitivo hour is all about. This slow and stylish start to the evening begins just before sunset, when Italians of all ages gather for drinks, snacks and friendship. It’s life-affirming. It can become the bridge between the responsibilities of people’s working day and the delights of their dinner. Much magic lies on that bridge.
It’s still a nationwide event in Italy, observed across the generations in humble inns, charming restaurants and trendy rooftop bars. Connoisseurs (鉴赏家) of the aperitivo hour say Florence, Turin and Venice are standard bearers for the tradition, but many agree that Milan is where its heart lies. In truth, aperitivo takes place all across Italy from the northern regions mentioned right through to the impressive Amalfi Coast in southern Italy. Therefore, wherever visitors wander, they will be able to enjoy this elegant tradition. Just sit back, relax, and enjoy it. The conversations and bonding of the aperitivo hour bring new ideas about life.
Many of us have been amazed by an easier-going routine during a fortnight abroad in the summer. As the taxi takes us back to the airport to fly home, we promise ourselves that we will continue to live that way at home, but that ambitious promise seems to get lost somewhere around the luggage carousel (传送带) back in Blighty.
Well, it’s never too late to start. With some travel restrictions still in place, now is the perfect moment to bring the Italian experience to your home. In a way, the events of the past few months have been training us for it. Many of us have been forced to take our foot off the pedal and ease into the slow lane, so there is no simpler time to bring the aperitivo hour into your home.
【1】What does the aperitivo hour refer to?
A．A relaxing time before dusk.
B．An enjoyable journey abroad.

D．A social period with friends and colleagues.
【2】What do we know about the aperitivo hour?
A．It has different forms in people of different ages.
B．It is a long-lasting and far-reaching tradition.
C．It aims to reduce people’s pressure of work.
D．It is widespread but controversial.
【3】What can we infer from Paragraph 4?
A．The trip to the airport is often unforgettable.
B．An easier-going routine has its own disadvantages.
C．We hardly realize our promise of a relaxing lifestyle.
D．Getting back to normal life from vacations is challenging.
【4】What’s the author’s intention of writing the last paragraph?
A．To encourage us to adopt the aperitivo hour at home.
B．To remind us to remember the travel restrictions.
C．To show us the proper ways of killing time.
D．To advise us to stay at home more.
23、Running can be a polarizing (两极分化的) subject. Most people fall into one of two camps: those who love running every morning, and those who would sooner do anything to avoid it. For most of my life, I was planted in the second camp.
I always hated running. I remembered entering a neighborhood 5K race with my dad at age 12; I also remembered that I came in last in the race, followed by only the police car driving patiently behind me. Three years later, I didn’t make the junior volleyball team because I couldn’t run a mile in under 10 minutes. Every time I ran, I felt as though failure — in some form or other — was the only possible result.
The summer after my freshman year, though, I took a job at a summer camp in Connecticut, where I got paid to be a kid again. I spent my days keeping an eye on different camp activities. When it came to exercise, running was my only choice. So, I made a promise myself: Every day, I would run for a while. By most runners’ standards, it wasn’t far; I guessed it was only about a mile. But I decided to do it every day, no matter how long it took. The exercise lasted for 61 days — the entire time I spent at camp that summer.
I started to feel better about myself. But to my great surprise, I learned to love running, too. I went from fearing the sport to loving it. I’ve finished seven marathons (马拉松赛跑) and more shorter races than I can remember, and now I am a running coach. These were the secrets I discovered to changing my way of looking at life.

【3】What decision did the author make at the camp?
A．To run every day.
B．To do a part-time job.
C．To fully relax himself at the camp.
D．To take part in different activities.
【4】How does the author look at running after the camp?
A．It is a difficult thing to do.
B．It has become a boring sport.
C．It makes no difference to him.
D．It has changed his life in a good way.
24、Eat like a king in the morning, a prince at noon, and a peasant at night. This saying is all about the importance of breakfast. And now scientists can tell us just why it’s so important. According to a study carried out at Imperial College London, UK, skipping the first meal of the day not only means you eat more at lunch, but also that your brain wants to find more unhealthy foods.
The study suggests that there is a special part of our brain called the orbitofrontal cortex (眶额皮层), which plays an important part in making choices about what we eat. It is used for identifying the taste of food, especially when skipping breakfast. It is more likely to target high-calorie foods when you’re on an empty stomach.
Scientists did an experiment on this. Dr Tony Goldstone from Imperial College London, scanned (扫描) the brains of 21 men and women, around the age of 25. On the first day, these people skipped breakfast before the scans. On the second day, they had cereal (谷物), bread and jam as breakfast. After the scan on both days, they had their lunch.
When the volunteers had skipped breakfast, they ate around 20 percent more at lunch, compared with days when they had eaten breakfast. Their brain scans also showed the orbitofrontal cortex was especially responsive to high-calorie foods. “We believe that bit identifies the value of foods – how pleasant, how delicious something is,” Goldstone told The Guardian.
【1】From Paragraph 1, we learn that _____.
A. scientists found out why eating breakfast is important
B. it’s easy to lose weight without breakfast
C. there’s no need to have good food for supper
D. eating breakfast makes your brain smarter

【3】Which of the following is NOT true about the orbitofrontal cortex?
A. It is part of our brain.
B. It tells people to eat breakfast.
C. It decides which food we like.
D. It is active toward high-calorie foods.
【4】Which of the following can be the title for this passage?
A. Breakfast still most important
B. Three meals a day
C. Experiments on breakfast
D. Researches on lunch
