21、A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms (习语), though my teacher stressed the importance again and again. But soon, the importance of English idioms was shown in an amusing experience.
One day, I happened to meet an Englishman on the road, and soon we began to talk. As I was talking about how I was studying English, the foreigner seemed to be astonished.
Gently shaking his head, shrugging his shoulders, he said, “You don’t say!” I was puzzled. I thought, perhaps this is not an appropriate topic. “Well, I’d better change the topic.” So I said to him. “Well, shall we talk about the Great Wall? By the way, have you ever been there?” “Certainly, everyone back home will laugh at me if I leave China without seeing it. It was magnificent.” He was deep in thought when I began to talk like a tourist guide. “The Great Wall is one of the wonders in the world. We are very proud of it.” Soon I was interrupted again by his words: “You don’t say!”. I couldn’t help asking, “Why do you ask me not to talk about it?”
“Well, I didn’t request you to do so,” he answered, greatly surprised. I said, “Didn’t you say ‘you don’t say’?” Hearing this, the Englishman laughed to tears. He began to explain, “‘You don’t say!’ actually means ‘Really!’. It is an expression of surprise. Perhaps you don’t pay attention to English idioms.”
Only then did I realize I had made a fool of mysell. Since then I have been more careful with idiomatic expressions. Remember: What the English teachers said is always right to us students.
【1】A year ago, I paid no attention to English idioms because________.

22、Many countries have traditional dishes, made with special ingredients and prepared in a certain way. 【1】, and when tourists visit, these are the foods they want to try. But why are some foods more popular than others in certain areas?
Traditional ingredients
Typical recipes (菜谱) are usually made with native plant and animal products. For example, Korean dishes often include rice and soybeans because both plants are native to East Asia and grow well in hot, wet areas. In contrast, wheat grows well in drier areas, like the Middle East, where bread is a common staple food.【2】, whereas inland cuisines tend to use more meat from farm animals.
Food preservation
Local cuisines often depend on how people traditionally prepared food for storage. In warm weather, meat and fish can go off quickly, so they must be cooked right away or preserved for later. 【3】, for that reason, modern Norwegian cuisine includes many smoked foods.
Cooking techniques
【4】. In China, people often fry food in a deep metal pan or steam it in a basket over hot water. In Morocco, people cook traditional dishes in a special pot called a tajine. And some local dishes aren’t cooked at all.
Imported (进口的) ingredients
Sometimes local cuisines include ingredients that originally came from another place. 【5】, while many Russian dishes are made with potatoes. However, all of these ingredients were brought to Europe from South America in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. But now they are common around the world.
A．Seafood is often a key ingredient in coastal areas
B．There is a danger that local food traditions will be lost
C．Many different cooking techniques are used around the world
D．For example, Italian dishes often include tomatoes and peppers.
E．These local dishes can become symbols of a place and its culture.
F．Nowadays, we can buy food products from all around the world
G．In Norway, the Vikings used to “cure” meat and fish by smoking them over a fire
23、If you’ve been in public in the past year or so, chances are you’ve noticed someone breaking dining etiquette (礼仪) that would seem second-nature to any adult. Why does our dining etiquette seem to be at the lowest point of all time right now?
“Overall, there is much less feeling about the common good, which means caring about your neighbor—whether at home or in a restaurant,” said Steven, who writes articles for USA Today.
Take the use of cellphone at the table for example. While a 2015 survey by the Pew Research Center found that 38 percent of those surveyed thought it was acceptable to use their phones while dining out, the increasing number of cellphone bans in restaurants shows that restaurants aren’t putting up with it.
However, some see the growing use of cellphones as a sign that manners change alongside our society.
“Manners change,” said the writer behind a food site The Takeout. “What we consider improper isn’t set in stone.” She points out the other “rules” that have since become outdated nowadays, like saying “Sir” and “Ma’am” as proof of this change.
Yes, traditional manners are yet another thing being redefined by youth. “Younger people are growing up in a world with more flexible rules, and this spreads to the dining table,” said Daniel Levine, director of global trends consultancy The Avant－Guide Institute.
Whether you prefer high-end restaurants or a fast-casual meal, the biggest reason behind the decline of manners may just be a numbers game.
“I believe it is more likely for people to break dining ‘rules’ because they go out and eat more often,” said Diane Gottsman, owner of The Protocol School of Texas. “Years ago, people stayed home and sat around the family table. Today, there are more people in the workforce, which makes it more affordable for socializing and eating out. With new chance comes the possibility for more dining problems.”
【1】What did the 2015 survey find?
A．Many people accepted using phones at the table.
B．Cellphones were banned in most restaurants.
C．Most of the surveyed people used phones while eating out.
D．Few restaurants show concern about using phones while eating.
【2】Why was the example of “Sir” and “Ma’am” mentioned?
A．To show modern people are becoming impolite.
B．To explain dining rules in high-end restaurants.
C．To prove dining etiquette changes through time.
D．To argue young people are making dining rules today.
【3】According to Diane Gottsman, people forget their dining manners more often because ________.
A．they think they are unimportant
B．they grew up with flexible rules
C．they have more chances to eat out
D．they must hurry meals to get back to work
【4】What’s the author’s purpose in writing this text?
A．To introduce changes in dining manners.
B．To encourage people to have dining manners.
C．To report survey findings on dining manners.
D．To discuss the reasons for poor dining manners
24、Scientists in Australia have discovered that they can use the world’s smelliest fruits to make devices that could power electric cars. A durian is a fruit that looks like a pineapple. It is a delicacy in some Asian countries, but its smell is so unpleasant that some of those countries have banned it from public places. Its smell has been compared to rotting eggs and even smelly old gym socks.
Vincent Gomes and his colleagues at the University of Sydney, in Australia, used a durian and a jackfruit — another fruit known for its terrible smell — to make energy storing devices called supercapacitors.
Supercapacitors are an alternative to batteries. They can’t store as much energy as a normal battery does, but they are much quicker to recharge. Durians and jackfruits contain some of the chemicals used in supercapacitors, which gave Gomes the idea. To make the fruit-based devices, the team heated and then freeze-dried the uneatable cores of the durian and jackfruit to make a special kind of material called an aerogel.
Aerogels are one of the world’s lightest solid materials. Often called “frozen smoke”, they are made by removing the liquid from a gel and replacing it with air. They have many scientific uses, but one of their special properties is the ability to conduct electric currents, which makes them an important part of supercapacitors. The aerogels made from durian and jackfruit both worked well when placed inside a supereapacitor, although the durian aerogel was found to be the better of the two.
The discovery is important because the materials currently used to make supercapacitors are expensive. Using natural foods like durians and jackfruits, Gomes says, could reduce environmental pollution, as well as costs.

A．Its smell.
B．Its appearance.

【3】What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A．Aerogels.
B．Scientific uses.
C．Properties.
D．Electric currents.
【4】What can we learn about fruit-based supercapacitors?
A．They are devices for producing electricity.
B．They are chemicals from durians.
C．They are green and economical.
D．They are light and liquid.
