21、Afternoon tea, the most typical of English customs, is, perhaps surprisingly, a relatively new tradition. The custom of drinking tea became popular in England during the 1660s thanks to King Charles Ⅱ and his wife, and it was not until the mid-19th century that the concept of “afternoon tea” first appeared.
Afternoon tea was introduced by Anna, the Duchess of Bedford, in the year 1840. At that time lunch was taken early but the evening meal was served fashionably late at eight o’clock, leaving a long period of time between the two meals. The Duchess would become hungry in the afternoon, so she asked that tea and cake be brought to her room around four o’clock. This became a habit of hers and later she began inviting friends to join her.
This palace tea party was such a success that it soon spread to London and other places in UK as a fashionable social event. During the 1880’s, upper-class women would dress up for their afternoon tea, also known as “low tea” because tea was taken while seating in low, comfortable chairs or sofas.
While Low Tea was largely a game for the upper class, “high tea” was a necessary meal for working class families. During the second half of the Victorian Period, working families would return home late tired and exhausted. As the most important meal of the day, the table would be set with meats, bread, butter, cheese and of course, a pot of good, strong tea to lift their spirits. Because it was eaten at a high, dining table, it was called “high” tea.
To experience the best of the afternoon tea tradition, treat yourself with a trip to one of London’s finest hotels. There are also a wide selection of old-fashioned tearooms offering afternoon tea experience.
We provide very British afternoon tea experience trips during your stay in London. Just tell your tour guide when you want to taste the culture and we will arrange everything for you with a very reasonable charge. It’ll be a once in a lifetime experience. Don’t miss it.

22、WHY A DOSE OF FEAR IS GOOD FOR YOU
Eleanor Roosevelt once said: “Do one thing every day that scares you.” She was onto something. Science has shown that feeling fear — in the right doses (量) — has several benefits.
·Feeling fear is fun and exciting. Many people scare themselves on purpose. 【1】
When you step outside your comfort zone, it is fear that makes you feel alive, which is fun and exciting. The excitement generated can also help reduce depression by increasing adrenaline (肾上腺素), which in turn increases excitement and glucose (changed into energy). 【2】 A dose of fear is an “eraser” for the mind.
·【3】 Being afraid of something can remind you of an area of your life that is limiting you. For instance, if you’re afraid of flying but face the fear and gather up the courage to step on an airplane, you can travel the world. Adding to your experiences means that you’ll create a varied life. You’ll also have fewer regrets.
·Fear makes you aware of what’s really important in life. How often have you said to yourself: “When I have more time, I’ll spend it with my family, pursue my passion, eat healthier or exercise more”? Fear makes you realize that “now” is the only time you have to achieve and follow through what is most important.【4】
Some say where fear meets courage is the sweet spot in which mountains get scaled and rivers are run. 【5】 We should all embrace our fear. Not the big fears that are life-threatening but the helpful fears that come in small doses.
A．Fear helps you succeed.
B．“Later” is never ensured.
C．Fear allows you to live life to the fullest.
D．They watch scary movies, ride roller coasters or go skydiving.
E．And every time you come through a challenge, you feel empowered.
F．Most of all, fear can be the birth place of change, creativity and innovation.
G．Actually, it’s nearly impossible to be thinking of your worries when you are experiencing fear.
23、Imagine a world in which there were suddenly no emotion — a world in which human beings could feel no love or happiness, no terror or hate．Try to imagine the consequences of such a transformation．People might not be able to stay alive: knowing neither joy nor pleasure, anxiety nor fear, they would be as likely to repeat acts that hurt them as acts that were beneficial．They could not learn: they could not benefit from experience because this emotionless world would lack rewards and punishments．Society would soon disappear: people would be as likely to harm one another as to provide help and support．Human relationships would not exist: in a world without friends or enemies, there could be no marriage, affection among companions, or bonds among members of groups．Society's economic underpinnings (支柱) would be destroyed: since earning $10 million would be no more pleasant than earning $10, there would be no incentive (动力) to work．In fact, there would be no incentives of any kind, for as we will see, incentives mean a capacity to enjoy them.
In such a world, the chances that the human species would survive are next to zero, because emotions are the basic instruments of our survival and adaptation．Emotions structure the world for us in important ways．As individuals, we categorize objects on the basis of our emotions．True, we consider the length, shape, size or texture, but an object's physical aspects are less important than what it has done or can do to us — hurt us, surprise us, anger us or make us joyful．We also use categorizations colored by emotions in our families, communities, and overall society．Out of our emotional experience with objects and events comes a social feeling of agreement that certain things and actions are "good" and others are "bad", and we apply these categories to every aspect of our social life — from what foods we eat and what clothes we wear to how we keep promises and which people our group will accept．In fact, society uses our emotional reactions and attitudes, such as loyalty, morality, pride, shame, guilt, fear and greed, in order to maintain itself．It gives high rewards to individuals who perform important tasks such as surgery, makes heroes out of individuals for unusual or dangerous achievements such as flying fighter planes in a war, and uses the legal penal (刑法的) system to make people afraid to engage in antisocial acts.
【1】Which of the following is TRUE according to the first paragraph?
A．people would not be able to tell the physical aspects of objects．
B．People would not know what was beneficial and what was harmful to them．
C．$ 10 million is equal to $ 10 in a world without emotions．
D．There would be full of lies, arguments and violence．
【2】In can be inferred from the passage that the economic foundation of society is dependent on ________.
A．the ability to make money
B．the capacity to work
C．the motivation to work
D．our emotional experiences
【3】Why are the emotional aspects of an object more important than its physical aspects?
A．They help society use its members for more profit.
B．They encourage us to perform important tasks in the war.
C．They help to perfect the legal and penal system to make people afraid.
D．They help us adapt our behaviors to the world surrounding us.
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A．People could only live in a world with emotions.
B．People would always do bad things in the emotionless world.
C．Emotions are very important in the world.
D．Emotions structure the world for us in important ways.
24、 Ever since Grumpy Cat first appeared online, the Internet can’t get enough of her．But attention is not the only thing that this cat is getting．Her fortune is estimated at $ 100 million, more than many famous actors and musicians earn．
So how did it all start?
Grumpy Cat’s owner Tabatha Bundesen was working as a waitress when her brother Bryan decided to take a photo of her funny-looking cat and post it on Reddit, the social-news site．In a matter of hours, she became a sensation(轰动)．
It got 1 million views on Imgur in 48 hours．
Grumpy Cat’s real name is Tardar Sauce and she actually has a condition called dwarfism, which makes her constantly frowning．But that unique frown turned out to be worth millions of dollars．
Tabatha, who lives in Arizona in US, isn’t complaining．She still remembers that September 22, 2012, when her life turned upside down．
Since her cat became a worldwide phenomenon, she was able to quit her job and devote her life to managing her cat’s modeling career．Sounds unbelievable, but it’s true．She says that her only job now is to book Tardar’s photo shoots, commercials(商业广告), and other appearances．
What are the other benefits of owning a million-dollar cat?
Apart from not having to work, Tabatha can travel all the time．She has time and money to visit her family more often and enjoy her life．She never could have imagined just how huge her cat would become, but she always knew Tardar was very special．And she is glad to see her cat bringing joy to so many people around the world．
As for the millions of dollars Grumpy has earned, they come from all the products, commercials and a best-selling book．She even has her own movie—Grumpy Cat’s Worst Christmas Ever．

25、
"A woman's life isn't complete until she has________ ."says Lao Bai as he toasts his friends at the dinner table. The line is produced at the dinner party，a________ scene from the latest romantic comedy B for Busy（爱情神话），which is starred by attractive actresses such as Ma Yili, Ni Hongjie and Wu Yue.
With the audience merrily immersed in the carefully designed plots and lines of the film, the ________ of feminist consciousness is distinctly perceived. Indeed, the film featuring the local culture of Shanghai took only a few days to become the highest-rated Chinese movie of 2021 on Douban because the film, as opposed to a wealth of other conventional films, ________ the traditional male gaze, pushing the boundaries of female empowerment even further. As the line at the beginning implies, more and more Chinese women are going all out to ________ themselves from the traditional restrictions set by men and to erase huge sexist bias with great achievements.
Have those women pioneers achieved a huge success in the male's world? Not nearly.
With the opening of the Winter Olympics in Beijing, a grieving ________ unkindly unfolded online before all the Chinese people. One is Eileen Gu, the 18-year-old skier winning two gold medals for China; the other is a chained mother of eight locked in a doorless hut.
The huge gap between them serves as a ________ reminder that the poverty gap remains hard to bridge in China. The extent of a person's ________ determines how cozy his/her life turns out to be. A simple but underlying principle is that the wealthier you are, the wider access you will have to novelties, which will further your ________ on the world. Accordingly, in relatively wealthy areas, the prominent Eileen Gu stands a chance to pursue her dream and secure perfect skiing abilities, thus greeting herself with spiritual gratification in self-fulfillment. ________ in comparatively destitute areas, women are denied the access to self-refinement, subjected to men's incurable obsession with having ________ and thus they reluctantly perform the mission of carrying on the family line-for husbands. The fundamental cause of it comes down to poverty, resulting in the poor's limited horizons, which invariably contribute to ________ misconduct.
On a whole scale, China still has a long way to go because it has just ________ the relief of absolute poverty, not relative poverty. Even if relative poverty is tackled, a lag period awaits before the ________ of deep-rooted concept resulting from it, requiring women's continuous fight.
Thereby, as we take a close look at our country, attention should not be ________ paid to those glorious sportswomen; spotlight also needs to be cast upon those unfortunate women trapped in deep darkness. Be it Eileen Gu or the chained woman in Xuzhou, each one of them, as Lao Bai introduces himself in B for Busy, represents a different and real part of China.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Two months ago, my friend Lisa, Harry and I, planned to do something adventurous, so we decided to explore a deep cave in the outskirt of our city with some food, water, torches and most importantly our cell phones. But things were not going well. We could not find any vehicle to drop us there. At long last, we managed to find a taxi which took us to the outskirt of the city. Another evidence of bad luck was that Harry had left his cell phone at home.
After we got out of the taxi, some of the locals told us the way to the cave. The cave looked very attractive yet still mysterious: the cave was so dark, and the tiny sounds made by the insects and animals could be heard properly, pulling us into the cave with some unknown supernatural power. As we were moving forward we made marks on the rocks along our path to remind us of the exit of the cave. And we always kept our mobiles in switch on mode to contact each other in case we got separated and even worse, lost in the cave.
As we were moving forward, Harry felt that somebody was following our footsteps but he left his intuition to a joke. When we reached in the deep of the cave, we lost our way and gradually the fog spread everywhere and we were not able to see each other properly. All of us got very scared of what was happening around us. Suddenly, we noticed that Harry was not with us and then we vaguely heard a shout from the depth of the cave and we thought it was Harry, so we started searching for him. But our torches were left no use in such thick fog.
续写词数应为150左右
Paragraph 1:
So we groped our way towards the direction of the shout.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
After we reunited with Harry, we tried to find the way out.
