21、 The UK is home to some of the best museums in the world, from awe-inspiring natural history collections, to fun and interactive exhibitions. Here's a round-up of must-visit museums that will keep everyone happy.
Beamish
This living, working museum shows what life was like in North-east England in the 1820s, early 1900s and 1940s. The buildings give a true sense of history. Museum workers are dressed up in period costume, so you'll really feel like you've stepped back in time. You can even buy bread from the 1900s bakery, have a drink in the traditional pub or treat yourself in the old-fashioned sweet shop.
National Justice Museum
The National Justice Museum covers the past and present of law and justice in the UK. During your visit, you'll encounter various historical characters, watch a recreation of a famous court trial, learn about prison reform, and — if you're brave enough — join one of the chilling ghost tours.
Natural History Museum
This iconic London museum has drawn huge crowds for more than 130 years. Inside the famous red-brick building, you'll discover hundreds of fascinating exhibits, including dinosaur skeletons and fossils, a mind-blowing blue whale skeleton, and the Darwin Centre, where you can see hundreds of specimens and hear talks from scientists-and it's free to get in.
The Mary Rose Museum
You'll find The Mary Rose Museum at the Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, where instead of simply learning the story of Henry VIII's famous ship, which sank in 1545, you'll stand just feet from it. The Mary Rose was raised from the depths of the Solent in 1982 and has been painstakingly conserved for future generations. The huge floor-to-ceiling windows and air-locked viewing balcony give you the chance to see a 16th century warship like never before.

22、 Every day is Earth Day — probably you’ve heard it before. Nearly all Americans have access to a plastic recycling program. You may be surprised to learn how many types of plastic packaging can be recycled into new, useful products!
Ford Motor Company has been helping to promote the use of environmentally-friendly auto parts — and one way they’re doing that is by using recycled plastic bottles for underbody shields (底盘保护罩) and other auto parts on cars.
“The underbody shield is a large part, and for a part that big, if we use solid plastic, it would likely weigh three times as much,” said Thomas Sweder, a design engineer of Ford Motor Company. “We look for the most durable and highest performing materials to work with to make our parts, and in this case, we are also creating many environmental benefits.”
In the past decade, the global use of plastics in vehicle parts has grown quickly. Ford alone uses about 1.2 billion recycled plastic bottles per year, about 250 bottles per vehicle on average.
When plastic bottles are thrown into a recycling bin, they are collected with thousands of others and cut into small pieces. These pieces are typically sold to suppliers who turn them into fibers, by melting and pressing them. Then they are mixed together with other various types of fiber in a process and used to make a sheet of material which is formed into the auto parts.
Due to its light weight, recycled plastic is ideal for the manufacturing of underbody shields. These shields reportedly also help create a significantly quieter environment on the new 2020 Ford Escape.
This is not the only way that Ford has been committed to environmental protection; the automotive company recently partnered with McDonald’s coffee suppliers to recycle all of their coffee roasting biowaste into headlights.
“Ford is among the leaders when it comes to using recycled materials such as this,” Sweder said. “This material meets all of our requirements for durability and performance.”
【1】Why does Ford choose recycled plastic as environmentally-friendly materials for vehicle parts?
A.Because it’s new and useful. B.Because it’s cheap and easy to get.
C.Because it’s durable and light. D.Because it’s portable and well-performed.
【2】What does Paragraph 5 mainly talk about?
A.The global use of plastics. B.The mixing process of fibers.
C.The advantages of plastic bottles. D.The formation of the new auto material.
【3】What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 7 refer to?
A.Recycling coffee roasting biowaste. B.Improving vehicle parts.
C.Recycling plastic bottles into auto parts. D.Creating a quieter environment.
【4】What can be the best title of the passage?
A.Every Day is Earth Day
B.Ford Takes the Lead in Plastic Recycling
C.Ecological Auto Underbody Shields
D.A Pioneer in Promoting Environmental Protection
23、English is the most widely used language in the history of our planet. One in every seven human beings can speak it. More than half of the world's books and three quarters of international mail are in English.Of all languages，English has the largest vocabulary-perhaps as many as two million words.
However，let's face it:English is a crazy language.There is no egg in an eggplant，neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger.Sweet-meats are candy，while sweetbreads，which aren't sweet，are meat.
We take English for granted.But when we.explore its paradoxes（探讨它的矛盾），we find that quicksand can work slowly，boxing rings are square，public bathrooms have no baths in them.And why is it that a writer writes，but fingers don't finger，grocers don't grocers，and hammers don't ham？If the plural of tooth is teeth，shouldn't the plural of.booth be teeth？One goose，two geese-so one moose，two meese？
How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same，while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites？How can overlook and oversee be opposites，while quite a lot and quite a few are alike？
How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next？
English was invented by people，not computers，and it reflects（反映）the creativity of hu-
man beings.That's why，when stars are out，they are visible（能看见的）；but when the lights are out，they are invisible.And why，when I wind up my watch，I start it；but when I wind up this essay，I end it.
【1】According to the passage____.
A．sweet-meats and sweetbreads are different things

25、 Some fifteen years ago, when smartphone apps were new and few truly understood their potentials, retailers (零售商) barely knew that consumers could browse in stores while comparing prices and ____ from other item providers through certain apps before ____ making the purchase online. Ten years ago, brick-and-mortar (实体店) retailers had to acknowledge that showrooming existed and appeared to be a threat. That’s the year when retailers were up in arms as online giant Amazon released an “evil” promotion that encouraged consumers to visit ____ stores and use Amazon’s Price Check app at the same time. Any purchase completed through the app was given ____ discounts, which significantly stimulated sales and ____ many shop owners to the edge of bankruptcy.
From the point on, retailers began launching strategies to combat showrooming including releasing ____ items for sale so that no reference prices from other sources are available for comparison.
“Media have reported showrooming as a big threat to physical stores,” says Casey Carl, a retailer. “However, less ____ is the fact that it is also the greatest opportunity for us.” Retailers need to accept that the act of showrooming is not illegal and any sensible buyer tends to ____ prices. As there’s nothing you can do about it, you might as well offer conveniences like in-store internet access to ____ these consumers. With caring services combined with acceptable prices, the store might actually improve the likelihood for consumers to close the deal ____.
And a showrooming study indicates that it’s wise for retailers to limit the item price to at most 5 dollars higher than what online stores charge. After all, for the majority of consumers, getting the absolute lowest price is not their ____. Many of them, instead, are willing to pay ____ in exchange for favourable shopping experiences, such as the pleasant store atmosphere, agreeable staff attitudes or even the merry music played, with a reasonable price ____, of course.
Besides, adopting a strategy of ____ channels is also essential. With many sale channels under control, retailers are sure to have access to the lowest price possible for an item. Therefore, when a customer pulls out a mobile device in store, retailers can be spared the ____ that was unavoidable for them some ten years ago.
