21、Many of us love July because it’s the month when nature’s berries and stone fruits are in abundance. These colourful and sweet jewels form British Columbia’s fields are little powerhouses of nutritional protection.
Of the common berries, strawberries are highest in vitamin C, although, because of their seeds, raspberries contain a little more protein (蛋白质), iron and zinc (not that fruits have much protein). Blueberries are particularly high in antioxidants (抗氧化物质). The yellow and orange stone fruits such as peaches are high in the carotenoids we turn into vitamin A and which are antioxidants. As for cherries (樱桃), they are so delicious who cares? However, they are rich in vitamin C.
When combined with berries of slices of other fruits, frozen bananas make an excellent base for thick, cooling fruit shakes and low fat “ice cream”. For this purpose, select ripe bananas for freezing as they are much sweeter. Remove the skin and place them in plastic bags or containers and freeze. If you like, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on the bananas will prevent them turning brown. Frozen bananas will last several weeks, depending on their ripeness and the temperature of the freezer.
If you have a juicer, you can simply feed in frozen bananas and some berries or sliced fruit. Out comes a “soft-serve” creamy dessert, to be eaten right away. This makes a fun activity for a children’s party; they love feeding the fruit and frozen bananas into the top of the machine and watching the ice cream come out below.
【1】Why is fresh lemon juice used in freezing bananas?
A. To make them smell better. B. To keep their colour.
C. To speed up their ripening. D. To improve their nutrition.
【2】What is “a juicer” in the last paragraph?
A. A dessert. B. A drink.
C. A container. D. A machine.
【3】From which is the text probably taken?
A. A biology textbook. B. A health magazine.
C. A research paper. D. A travel brochure.
【4】What does the author seem to like about cherries?
A. They contain protein. B. They are high in vitamin A.
C. They have a pleasant taste. D. They are rich in antioxidants.
22、Throughout history, many of the world’s greatest artists never achieved tremendous fame until after their death. That’s the case of Vivian Maier, who’s now considered to be one of the most important American street photographers of the last century, alongside famous names like Diane Arbus and Henri Cartier-Bresson. But she remained unknown for much of her life, and it was only a chance encounter with a box of negatives that put her in the spotlight.
Details of her life are unclear, but she was born in New York City in the 1920s to European parents. Maier grew up in France before returning to the U. S., where she spent several decades working as a nanny in Chicago to wealthy families. During her days off Maier is thought to have taken more than 100, 000 photographs of people and city scenes in Chicago, yet she kept the photos to herself-many of them never developed.
Skip ahead to 2007, a Chicago historian and collector, John Maloof, came across Maier’s work by accident after purchasing a box of tens of thousands of undeveloped negatives for $380 Sat an auction (拍卖) . As he developed them, Maloof realized they were more than just photos. He was looking at evocative (唤起) art illustrating a Chicago of the mid-20-century that nobody had never seen. Maloof worked to uncover who the photographer was, acquiring more and more of her work. But before he could locate her, Maier had already passed away in 2009, having slipped on ice and never recovering from her head injury.
While Maloof researched Maier’s work, more details emerged. She kept to herself, her employers said, and she would spend her free days taking photos on the streets of Chicago with a Rolleiflex camera. According to Maloof, the children Maier took care of knew she was constantly taking photos, yet she never showed her photos to anyone. Maier also traveled around the world, as indicated by some of her photos.
Other collectors began to acquire Maier’s photos, but Maloof owns much of her work. He released a book, Vivian Maier: Street Photographer, in 2011, and his documentary, Finding Vivian Maier, came out in 2013.
【1】Which word can be used to describe Vivian’s life?

D．Miserable.
【2】What do we know about Vivian Maier?
A．She was born in France.
B．She never developed her photos.
C．She enjoyed great fame in her life.
D．She took photos of Chicago and other cities.
【3】What did Maloof do after he found Maier’s photos?
A．He approached Maier’s former employers.
B．He managed to meet the artist in the flesh.
C．He released a collection of Maier’s work.
D．He purchased more developed negatives.
【4】What can be inferred about Vivian Maier’s photos?
A．They were presented to her employers.
B．They were meant to earn her a fortune.
C．They were taken by a professional artist.
D．They were of artistic and historical value.
23、We’ve all been there. One minute you’re searching for something serious, like a recipe(食谱) for dinner, or something for work, and the next you’ve been sucked in by endless videos of cats doing funny things after seeing an attractive title in your suggested videos column(专栏). They’re interesting, and you can end up spending hours watching kittens make funny noises or mistiming jumps. But why do these videos so often end up becoming popular? What makes them so fascinating? And whyare they more popular than dog videos?
First，let’s talk about stereotypes(成见). When many of us think about dogs，we imagine them rolling over onto their backs, tongues hanging out, or making a mess. They seem trusting and innocent(单纯的)—and they do silly things. Cats, on the other hand, seem somewhat more controlled and independent. There’s a reason why we have an expression “cool cat”. In short, cats seem more serious—and clever. If we can put one over on a cat and make them do something like getting in a box that slides down a hill, it’s funny. But with a dog, it’s not as funny because they trust you-and it’s easier. Tricking a cat, due to their wiliness(狡猾)，has more payoff.
The Internet is filled with videos of cats making funny faces or reacting strangely. But why are they so funny? Well, simply—it’s unexpected. If you saw a cat walking down the street coolly or observing and preparing to attack a mouse, it wouldn’t be funny. But if that cat was walking sideways,wearing a silly costume,or becoming best friends with the mouse, suddenly we might start to laugh. Watching a cat that is normally impressive walk carelessly or pull a face is funny because it’s not something we would normally connect with that animal. It’s like watching someone who is normally very serious laugh loudly.
So the next time you see one of those funny behaviours of cats in awkward situations or videos that make you laugh,try to remember why it’s so funny. And spare a thought for all those dogs that are trying to give us pleasure too.
【1】What do many of us think of dogs are?
A．Innocent and simple-minded.
B．Serious and clever.
C．Independent and smart.
D．Untrusting and controlled.
【2】What do the underlined words“put one over on”in paragraph 2 mean?
A．Feed.
B．Cheat.
C．Believe.
D．Teach.
【3】Why is it funny to watch videos of cats making funny faces?
A．People like cats very much.
B．They can make friends with the mouse.
C．It’s unexpected and out of character.
D．The videos are recorded on purpose.
【4】What’s the best title of the text?
A．Why Are Cat Videos So Popular?
B．Why Are Cats More Cute than Dogs?
C．Making Friends with Cats or Dogs
D．The Difference Between Dogs and Cats
