21、Food Taboos Around the World
●Jamaican Taboos
When it comes to raising children，there are some definite food-related taboos（禁忌）Jamaican people believe in. It is believed that if children eat chicken before they learn to speak, they will never talk. Eating half an egg will make the child grow into a thief and drinking milk from a baby bottle will turn them into an alcoholic.
●Nigerian Taboos
Much like the Jamaican taboos, many Nigerians’ taboos revolve around children. While they don’t believe children who eat eggs will turn into thieves, they have particularly strong feelings about coconut milk. Another widely held belief is that children who drink this type of milk will become unintelligent.
●Russian Taboos
Old world traditions are very much alive in Russia when it comes to traditional dating. If you are hoping to court a lady at a restaurant, do not expect to go Dutch. If you are the one who arranges the date, you are expected to pay for everything, as most Russian women won’t even bring their wallets on a formal date.
●Chinese Taboos
If you travel to China, minding your chopsticks is important. After finishing a meal at a restaurant, do not leave your chopsticks sticking up in the left-over rice at the bottom of your bowl. That practice is employed when families offer a meal to their ancestors’ ghosts at family shrines（神龛）but Chinese believe doing so in a restaurant would bother the owner with a terrible curse.

22、In 1901, H. G. Wells, an English writer, wrote a book describing a trip to the moon. When the Explorers (探险者) landed on the moon, they discovered that the moon was full of underground cities. They expressed their surprise to the “moon people” they met. In turn, the “moon people” expressed their surprise. “Why,” they asked, “are you traveling to outer space when you don’t even use your inner space?”
H. G. Wells could only imagine travel to the moon. In 1969 , human beings really did land on the moon. People today know that there are no underground cities on the moon. However, the question that the “moon people” asked is still an interesting one. A growing number of scientists are seriously thinking about it.
Underground systems are already in place. Many cities have underground car parks. In some cities, such as Tokyo, Seoul and Montreal, there are large underground shopping areas. The “Chunnel”, a tunnel (隧道) connecting England and France, is now complete.
But what about underground cities? Japan’s Taisei Corporation is designing a network of underground systems, called “Alice Cities,” The designers imagine using surface space for public parks and using underground space for flats, offices, shopping, and so on. A solar dome (太阳能穹顶) would cover the whole city.
Supporters of underground development say that building down rather than building up is a good way to use the earth’s space. The surface, they say, can be used for farms, parks, gardens, and wilderness, H. G. Wells’ “moon people” would agree. Would you?
【1】The explorers in H. G. Wells’ story were surprised to find that the “moon people”________.
A．understood their language
B．knew so much about the earth
C．lived in so many underground cities
D．were ahead of them in space technology
【2】What does the underlined word “it” (paragraph 2) refer to ?
A．Traveling to outer space.
B．Using the earth’s inner space

【3】What sort of underground systems are already here with us based on the passage?
A．Tunnels, gardens, offices.
B．Gardens, car parks, power stations.
C．Tunnels, car parks, shopping areas.
D．Offices, shopping areas, power stations.
【4】What can we learn from the the last two paragraphs?
A．Taisei is a Korean company.
B．Supporters of underground development prefer to build down rather than build up.
C．The designers of Taisei corporation imagine using surface space for flats.
D．The designers of Taisei corporation imagine using underground space for public parks.
【5】What would be the best title for the text?
A．Enjoy living underground
B．Building down, not up
C．Alice Cities—cities of the future
D．Space travel with H. G. Wells
23、It is very important to keep fit and stay healthy. A lot of people fail to believe the good that daily exercise does to health and only begin to do so when they suffer from health problems. 【1】
Regular(经常的)exercise helps you keep in good shape. Maybe, you are one of the many overweight people struggling with problems of body shape, yet you do not want to do anything about that. Sometimes you see very nice clothes, but they don’t fit you because of your body size. 【2】
Doing exercise keeps you thinking quickly at all times. It’s a perfect way of developing the strength of your mind. 【3】 Besides, there is a reason why most athletes are usually happy. The release(释放)of dopamine (多巴胺) when doing exercise changes their feelings for the better. 【4】 Run around the blocks each morning, jog or lift weights and see how much good doing exercise does to your mind.
The good of doing exercise every day is endless, but a lot of people pay no attention to it and finally develop lifestyle-related illnesses later in life. So taking exercise is very important and some of the results of not taking exercise are very serious.
【5】 Having fitness goals that mean something to you will help you keep a strict fitness schedule and achieve the result you want. Besides, using fitness trackers, you can monitor your general physical activity and find out whether you have made progress.
A．Then why is it important to stay fit?
B．How can you drive yourself to exercise?
C．Setting high goals for exercise is very important.
D．Everyone hopes to live a relaxing and comfortable life.
E．So keeping your body active improves the work of your brain.
F．Fitness exercise will help you lose extra fat and be in great shape.
G．Maybe not having enough exercise is the reason for your easy anger.
24、Public toilets around the globe have a reputation for being dark, dirty and dangerous. Tokyo recently unveiled new restrooms in two public parks that aim to address those concerns. For one thing, they are brightly lit and colorful. For another, they are transparent. This way, those who need to go can check out the cleanliness and safety of the toilets without having to walk inside or touch a thing.
Japan has long experimented with toilets, resulting in lids that open, and close automatically and seats that warm up. But the new toilets—designed by Shigeru Ban, the Pritzker Prize-winning architect—are made out of a “smart glass.”
The toilets were installed in Tokyo in September. Set up in front of a cluster of trees in the Shibuya District, the toilets stand out like a Mondrian painting.
When occupied and locked properly, the colored glass toilets become frosted (磨砂的) and opaque (not transparent). When the door is unlocked, an electric current rearranges the crystals in the glass to allow more light to pass through, creating a transparent effect. The toilets were presented as another futuristic and aesthetically (美学地) pleasing example of the country’s technological advancements.
The predecessor to Tokyo’s transparent toilets appeared in Switzerland in 2002, when designer Olivier Rambert unveiled two glass restrooms in the city of Lausanne. They had a safety feature that automatically opened the doors and turned the glass transparent if sensors detected no motion for 10 minutes. That could possibly help users who fall unconscious and need medical attention.
【1】What’s the purpose of the design of new restrooms?
A．To make the parks tourist attractions.
B．To settle the problems with public toilets.
C．To maintain the standards of public toilets.
D．To achieve a breakthrough in toilet construction.
【2】How does the “smart glass” function?
A．By cutting off electricity.
B．By giving off colorful light.
C．By sensing the health of people.
D．By changing the order of crystals.
【3】What can we learn about the transparent toilets?
A．They cause the concerns about privacy.
B．They are decorated with artists’ paintings.
C．They are pioneered by Japanese architects.
D．They combine technological and artistic elements.
【4】Which can best describe the safety feature of glass restrooms in Switzerland?
A．Conventional.
B．Humanized.
C．Simplified.
D．Recreational.
