21、 Tea drinking was common in China for nearly one thousand years before anyone in Europe had ever heard about tea. People in Britain were much slower in finding out what tea was like, mainly because tea was very expensive. It could not be bought in shops and even those people who could afford to have it sent from Holland did so only because it was a fashionable curiosity. Some of them were not sure how to use it. They thought it was a vegetable and tried cooking the leaves. Then they served them mixed with butter and salt. They soon discovered their mistake but many people used to spread the used tea leaves on bread and give them to their children as sandwiches.
Tea remained rare and very expensive in England until the ships of the East India Company began to bring it direct from China early in the seventeenth century. During the next few years so much tea came into the country that the price fell and many people could afford to buy it.
At the same time people on the Continent were becoming more and more fond of tea. Until then tea had been drunk without milk in it, but one day a famous French lady named Madame de Sevigne decided to see what tea tasted like when milk was added. She found it so pleasant that she would never again drink it without milk. Because she was such a great lady her friends thought they must copy everything she did, so they also drank their tea with milk in it. Slowly this habit spread until it reached England and today only very few Britons drink tea without milk.
At first, tea was usually drunk after dinner in the evening. No one ever thought of drinking tea in the afternoon until a duchess found that a cup of tea and a piece of cake at three or four o’clock stopped her getting “a sinking feeling” as she called it. She invited her friends to have this new meal with her, and so tea-time was born.
【1】Which of the following is true of the introduction of tea into Britain?
A．The Britons got expensive tea from India.
B．Tea reached Britain from Holland.
C．The Britons were the first people in Europe who drank tea.
D．It was not until the 17th century that the Britons had tea.
【2】What does this passage mainly discuss?
A．How tea-time was born in Holland.
B．The history of tea drinking in Britain.
C．How tea became a popular drink in France.
D．How the Britons got the habit of drinking afternoon tea.
【3】When did tea become a popular drink in Britain?
A．In the eighteenth century.
B．In the sixteenth century.
C．In the seventeenth century.
D．In the late seventeenth century.
【4】Why did people in Europe begin to drink tea with milk?
A．It tasted like milk.
B．It was good for health.
C．It became a popular drink.
D．They tried to copy the way Madame de Sevigne drank tea.
22、 For the first time ever, an athlete with Down Syndrome (唐氏综合症) crossed the finish line of an Ironman triathlon (铁人三项) and made history for his amazing accomplishment. Chris Nikic, 21, conquered a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bike ride, and a 26.2-mile marathon run at the Ironman Florida competition on November 7, 2020.
But this was no easy task for the athlete from Maitland, Florida. During the Panama City Beach sporting event, Chris fell off his bike and was attacked by ants during a nutrition break but he kept going. He completed the triathlon in 16 hours, 36 minutes and 9 seconds. And his achievement earned him a place, in the Guinness World Records.
Chris is a highly motivated young man and knew he could do what he set his mind to achieve. He posted online: “Ironman. Goal set and achieved. Time to set a new and BIGGER goal for 2021.”
Training for the Ironman over the past year was a long process. Chris and. His father Nik Nikic developed the “I percent better challenge” to help keep Chris motivated and promote Down Syndrome awareness.
“To Chris, this race was more than just a finish line and celebration of victory,” Nik Nikic said. “Ironman has served as his platform to become one step closer to his goal of living a life of inclusion (包容) and leadership.”
Chris teamed with his partner and coach Dan Grieb for the Ironman competition. “I’m no longer surprised by what Chris can accomplish because I recognize who Chris is a human being who has goals and dreams just like everyone else,” his coach told the Special Olympics. “He wants to make the path easier for those just like him and can follow his lead.”

23、One in three UK consumers throw away food just because it reaches the use-by date (使用期限), but 60% of the food we throw away each year is safe to eat.
In order to help detect spoilage (变质) and reduce food waste for supermarkets and consumers, researchers have developed spoilage sensors for meat and fish packaging. The researchers say the sensors could also finally replace the use-by date — a widely used indicator of being fresh and eatable.
The sensors cost two US cents each to make. Known as “paper-based electrical gas sensors (PEGS)”, they detect spoilage gases in meat and fish products. The information provided by the electronic nose is received by a smartphone, and then you can know whether the food is fresh and safe to eat.
The researchers made the sensors by printing carbon electrodes (电极) onto a special type of paper. The materials are eco-friendly and harmless, so they don’t damage the environment and are safe to use in food packaging. The sensors, combined with a tiny electronic system, then inform nearby mobile devices, which identify and understand the data about spoilage gases.
Lead author Dr. Firat Guder of Imperial’s Department of Bioengineering said, “Although they’re designed to keep us safe, use-by dates can lead to eatable food being thrown away. They don’t always reflect its actual freshness. In fact, people often get sick from food-borne diseases due to poor storage, even when an item is within its use-by date. These sensors are cheap enough, so we hope to see supermarkets using them within three years. Our goal is to use PEGS in food packaging to reduce unnecessary food waste.”
【1】What is the purpose of PEGS?
A．To test the freshness of food.
B．To make food taste better.
C．To help supermarkets store food.
D．To keep the meat and fish fresh.
【2】What can we know about the sensors in paragraph 4?
A．They are made of special paper.
B．They don’t produce pollution.
C．They are built in mobile devices.
D．They directly show people information.
【3】What does Dr. Firat Guder say about use-by dates?
A．They are not completely reliable.
B．They determine the freshness of food.
C．They can help reduce food waste.
D．They help prevent food-borne diseases.
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A．The process of developing spoilage sensors.
B．A new device in packaging to reduce food waste.
C．The application of spoilage sensors in food processing.
D．Use-by dates’ influence on supermarkets and consumers.
24、 When international aid is given,steps must be taken to ensure（确保）that the aid reaches the people for whom it is intended. The way to achieve this may not be simple. It is very difficult for a nation to give help directly to people in another nation. The United Nations Organization （UNO） could undertake to direct the distribution of aid. Here however rises the problem of costs. Also tied with this is time. Perhaps the UNO could set up a body of devoted men and women in every country who can speedily distribute aid to victims of floods and earthquakes.
More than the help that one nation can give to another during a disaster,it would be more effective to give other forms of help during normal times. A common proverb says,"Give me a fish and I eat for a day,teach me to fish and I eat for a lifetime. "If we follow this wise saying,it would be right to teach people from less developed nations to take care of themselves. For example,a country could share its technology with another. This could be in simple areas like agriculture or in more complex areas like medical and health care or even in building satellites. Even a small country is able to help less developed nations. Sometimes what is taken for granted,like the setting up of a water purification plant or the administration of a school,could be useful for countries which are looking about to solve common problems. It does not cost much to share such simple things. Exchange students could be attached for a number of months or years and learn the required craft while on the site. They can then take their knowledge back to their homelands and if necessary come back from time to time to clear doubts or to update themselves. Such aid will be truly helpful and there is no chance of it being temporary or of it falling into the wrong hands.
Many countries run extensive courses in all sorts of skills. It will not cost much to include deserving foreigners in these courses. Besides giving effective help to the countries concerned,there is also the build-up of friendships to consider. Giving direct help by giving materials may be effective in the short run and must continue to be given in the event of emergencies. However,in the long run what is really effective would be the sharing of knowledge.
【1】According to the author, how could international aid reach the victims in time?___
A. By solving the cost problems.
B. By solving the transportation problems.
C. By relying on the direct distribution of the UNO.
D. By setting up a body of devoted people in every country.

A. Providing food is vital.
B. Teaching skills is vital.
C. Learning to fish is helpful.
D. Looking after others is important.
【3】The second paragraph is developed mainly___.
A. by comparison B. by contrast
C. by example D. by process
【4】Which aid is likely to fall into the wrong hands?___
A. A water plant B. Financial support.
