22、 Four Best Cities to Visit in Winter
Cold rains, icy sidewalks and gray skies can make winter travel a trial. But here are four cities around the world that make for a great cold-weather destination:
Prague, Czech Republic
With its snow-capped spires and winding streets, Prague is a fairytale city that remains relatively tourist-free in winter.
The amazing architecture looks even prettier under a sheet of snow, with one of the most beautiful areas being the old town, with its Romanesque vaults. Gas street lamps have been placed throughout the city center, adding a romantic color to evenings. Cafes here are ideal for escaping the bitter cold.
Salzburg, Austria
With its Christmas songs and traditional markets, this is a perfect city for a winter break. “Silent Night” was performed for the first time in the church of Oberndorf on the border of Salzburg on Christmas Eve in 1818.
The city's main market is held in the shadow of Salzburg's Hohensalzburg Castle, but the one held in Mirabell Square is especially popular with food lovers who come to taste local food such as halusky—pieces of dumpling mixed with fried bacon.
Tromso, Norway
Tromso is widely regarded as Norway's most beautiful city and is a base for spoiling the northern lights. There are several attractive museums, including the Polar Museum, which offers an insight into the history of Arctic expeditions, and the Tromso Museum, which is famous for its Sami exhibitions.
Amsterdam, Netherlands
In winter, Amsterdam' s museums are much less crowded, making it the time to visit attractions such as Rijksmuseum or the Anne Frank House. Built originally to house a circus, the Royal Carre Theater is more than 130 years old. Children will love the spectacular performances.

23、It will soon be possible to reduce common indoor air pollution using just a curtain. A mineral-based surface treatment enables this new curtain from IKEA to break down air pollutants when exposed to light. Air pollution is a global problem. According to WHO, around 90% of people worldwide breathe polluted air. It causes eight million deaths per year.
The Swedish furniture company hopes to reduce this number by producing an air-purifying (净化空气) curtain. It can increase people’s awareness of indoor air pollution. It can also change some people's bad habits and bring clean air to the world. The technology will be applied to other textiles (纺织品).
The curtain uses a technology that has been developed by IKEA suppliers over the last few years. The process, similarly to photosynthesis (光合作用), is activated by both outdoor and indoor light. It's important to work on products that solve actual problems. Textiles are used across homes. By enabling a curtain to purify the air, they are creating an affordable and space-saving air purifying solution. Meanwhile, the home will become more beautiful.
For many years, IKEA has been reducing air pollution. They avoid using chemicals that release air. Last year, IKEA launched a campaign, aiming to turn rice straw—a rice harvesting remains that is traditionally burned and contributes heavily to air pollution—into a new renewable material source.
IKEA has also promised to become climate positive by 2030, reducing our overall climate footprint by 70% on average per product. The company has recently been praised for making their products made from renewable or recycled materials. In fact, IKEA has been working on positive change. It is their dream to enable people to live healthier lives.
【1】What's special about the new curtain from IKEA?
A．It can purify air.
B．It can beautify the home.
C．It can block polluted air out.
D．It can carry on the photosynthesis.
【2】What can we infer about IKEA from the text?
A．It is a high-tech textile company.
B．It is a high-tech costume company.
C．It focuses on environmental protection.
D．It is an international environmental group.
【3】Why has IKEA been praised recently?
A．Because of its economical materials.
B．Because of its environmental production.
C．Because it has made people live healthier.
D．Because it has developed a high-tech product.

A．A global problem.
B．A new explanation of photosynthesis.
C．An environmental company.
D．An air-purifying curtain.
24、Have you ever left a cinema shaking your head after seeing a film with an ending that you could see coming from ten kilometres away? Most of us have. A film can have many stars and beautiful locations, but if the screenplay is poor, it’s unlikely that it will be a hit with audiences.
Being a screenwriter can be a profitable career and there is no shortage of candidates for the job. However, although the major studios receive thousands of scripts every year, only a few make it to the silver screen. The studios have very set ideas about what makes a good screenplay and if a script doesn’t match them, it hasn’t got a chance.
The art of screenwriting is greatly influenced by Poetics, the book on the theory of literature written by Aristotle in about 350 B.C. Aristotle proposed that a storyline should consist of three parts: a beginning in which we meet the characters and the place where the action occurs, a middle in which a problem that has to be overcome is introduced and finally an end, where the problem, at least in Hollywood films, is solved. It may surprise you to discover that the ancient Greek philosopher’s ideas should have so much influence on such a modern art form. It will surprise you even more to learn that his ideas are more popular than ever.
In the seventies, Hollywood scriptwriter, Syd Field, discovered that films that followed Aristotle’s plan did much better at the box office than those that didn’t. Field studied the most successful films and came up with a more rigorous version of Aristotle’s theory. The beginning of the film should last no longer than half an hour, at the end of which a turning point must occur. Field even suggested that the perfect moment for this turning point is the twenty-seventh minute! Then, for the following sixty minutes the main character is involved in facing the challenge that has been set. At the midpoint of this period, the writer may introduce another turning point which must be a reversal in the character’s fortunes. The final quarter of the film is for the climax of the story, as the character fights to achieve their aims.
Does it sound familiar? It should do, because virtually all Hollywood films follow this scheme. So the next time you accuse a film of being unoriginal, you’ll know who to blame!
【1】If a script________, it has a greater chance to be chosen by studios.
A．is written by a well-known screenwriter
B．matches the audience’s set idea of a good story
C．agrees with studios’ standards of a good screenplay
D．is considered to be a good screenplay by the public
【2】In the book Poetics, what did Aristotle proposed about a storyline?
A．The setting should be revealed in the beginning.
B．A problem has to be introduced in the beginning.
C．The solution doesn’t necessarily appear in the end.
D．More time should be devoted to the end than to the middle.
【3】The word “rigorous” (in paragraph 4) is closest in meaning to________.
A．modern and relaxed
B．thorough and strict
C．simple but efficient
D．complex but understandable
【4】Which of the following questions has been answered in the passage?
A．Why many Hollywood films look similar to each other.
B．How a storyline can be improved based on Aristotle’s theory.
C．What kinds of Hollywood films appeals more to the audience.
D．Who should be to blame for the decline of the quality of films.
