21、We think of chocolate as something sweet. However, a long time ago, people thought of chocolate as something very bitter. For us, chocolate is a candy, but once it was a medicine. Today, chocolate can be a hot drink, a cold dessert, or just a snack. Sometimes it’s an ingredient (原料) in the main course of a meal. Mexicans make a hot chocolate sauce called mole and pour it over chicken. The Mexicans also eat chocolate with spices (香料) like chili peppers.
Chocolate is a product of the tropical (热带的) cacao tree. Cacao beans taste so bitter that even monkeys say “ugh!” and run away. The word chocolate comes from a Mayan word. The Mayas were an ancient people who once lived in Mexico. They valued the cacao tree. Some of the Mayas used cacao beans for money, while others ground (研磨) them to make a bitter drink.
When the Spaniards came to Mexico in the 16th century, they started drinking cacao, too. Because the drink was strong and bitter, they thought it was a medicine. When the Spaniards took the drink back to Europe, people discovered that sugar removed (去掉) the bitter taste of cacao. Wealthy Spaniards heated the sweet drink and thought that it was good for their health.
In the 19th century, an English company made the first solid (固体的) block of sweetened chocolate. Now people could both drink and eat chocolate. Later, a Swiss company mixed milk and chocolate together. People liked the taste of milk chocolate even better.
Besides the chocolate candy bar, one of the most popular American snacks is the chocolate-chip cookie. Favourite desserts are chocolate cream pie and, of course, an ice cream sundae with hot fudge(软糖) sauce.

22、Humans can learn about animals’ feelings through their voices or sounds according to the recent research.
The research agrees with naturalist Charles Darwin’s opinions from over a hundred years ago, when he found that humans and other animals show their feelings in similar ways. The research on the animals’ voices has showed that animals can understand humans’ sounds with different feelings. For example, pet owners are usually used to this and their pets can know about their feelings.
Studies have also showed many mammals have many feelings in common in their voices. Humans can use these different sounds to know what an animal is feeling or thinking about. But researchers weren’t sure if the other animals on the land were also the same as the mammals.
To find out the truth, a team of researchers collected the voices from nine different kinds of animals. Then, all the researchers were asked to listen to tapes and describe the feeling condition of the animal. They need volunteers who can know German, English and Chinese.
The researchers finally found out that all the animals could show their different feelings through their different voices. Their voices are full of different feelings, such as anger, happiness, sadness and so on.
【1】What can we know from the animals’ voices according to the passage?
A.Health.
B.Feelings.
C.Hobbies.
D.Interest.
【2】What did the researchers do to find out the truth?

【3】What skill do the volunteers need to have?
A.Language skills.
B.Activity skills.
C.Protection skills.
D.Communication skills.
【4】What’s the main idea of the passage?

23、Should kids be allowed to use cell phones in school? There has been a lot of discussion about it. Without question, kids do not need cell phones in school. Some people may feel that kids need phones for safety reasons; however, it’s not good or necessary for them to use cell phones at school.
Firstly, there are phones in most modern classrooms nowadays. If kids need to call their parents or whatever, they can use one of the phones in the school. There is really no reason for students to have a phone with them.
Besides, cell phones can be a big distraction(干扰) during the school day. If kids bring their phones to class and start to use them, they won’t pay much attention(注意力)to their schoolwork. Because there are too many games and apps on phones. They can pull kids’ attention away from things they should do at school. After all, there have been many other things that distract kids away from their lessons.
What’s worse, cell phones can also be another way that kids bully(欺凌)each other. In some ways, kids are mean to each other in school. Phones would just be another way for mean-spirited kids to hurt others. Unluckily, a few kids always go out of their way to give others a hard time, And if cell phones are allowed in school, it will give them one more tool to hurt others.
In a word, I cannot think of any good reasons why kids need to have cell phones at school. Phones would just be a distraction and could lead to more bullying in school.
【1】The writer mainly talks about the problem of ________ at school in the passage.
A.making friends
B.keeping safe
