21、When you’re on holiday, it’s so natural to enjoy the perfect gin moment. You’re sitting on a sunny balcony, enjoying the view and watching the locals. You realize you’ve done it; you’re living la dolce vita — the sweet life.
That’s what the aperitivo hour is all about. This slow and stylish start to the evening begins just before sunset, when Italians of all ages gather for drinks, snacks and friendship. It’s life-affirming. It can become the bridge between the responsibilities of people’s working day and the delights of their dinner. Much magic lies on that bridge.
It’s still a nationwide event in Italy, observed across the generations in humble inns, charming restaurants and trendy rooftop bars. Connoisseurs (鉴赏家) of the aperitivo hour say Florence, Turin and Venice are standard bearers for the tradition, but many agree that Milan is where its heart lies. In truth, aperitivo takes place all across Italy from the northern regions mentioned right through to the impressive Amalfi Coast in southern Italy. Therefore, wherever visitors wander, they will be able to enjoy this elegant tradition. Just sit back, relax, and enjoy it. The conversations and bonding of the aperitivo hour bring new ideas about life.
Many of us have been amazed by an easier-going routine during a fortnight abroad in the summer. As the taxi takes us back to the airport to fly home, we promise ourselves that we will continue to live that way at home, but that ambitious promise seems to get lost somewhere around the luggage carousel (传送带) back in Blighty.
Well, it’s never too late to start. With some travel restrictions still in place, now is the perfect moment to bring the Italian experience to your home. In a way, the events of the past few months have been training us for it. Many of us have been forced to take our foot off the pedal and ease into the slow lane, so there is no simpler time to bring the aperitivo hour into your home.
【1】What does the aperitivo hour refer to?
A．A relaxing time before dusk.
B．An enjoyable journey abroad.
C．A free time to connect to the locals.
D．A social period with friends and colleagues.
【2】What do we know about the aperitivo hour?
A．It has different forms in people of different ages.
B．It is a long-lasting and far-reaching tradition.
C．It aims to reduce people’s pressure of work.
D．It is widespread but controversial.
【3】What can we infer from Paragraph 4?
A．The trip to the airport is often unforgettable.
B．An easier-going routine has its own disadvantages.
C．We hardly realize our promise of a relaxing lifestyle.
D．Getting back to normal life from vacations is challenging.
【4】What’s the author’s intention of writing the last paragraph?
A．To encourage us to adopt the aperitivo hour at home.
B．To remind us to remember the travel restrictions.
C．To show us the proper ways of killing time.
D．To advise us to stay at home more.
22、 The Mogao Caves of Dunhuang, a treasure house of art of China, has been spanning over 1,000 years. The art inside here covers more than ten major genres, such as architecture, stucco sculpture, wall paintings, silk paintings, calligraphy woodblock printing, embroidery, literature, music and dance, and popular entertainment. But all these only existed because of one man’s vision.
In 366 A.D., a monk named Le Zun looked across the river at dawn and saw a thousand Buddhas appear on the golden cliff face of Mingsha mountain along the old Silk Road. The caves were then built by monks and mostly sponsored by people such as wealthy merchants, foreign dignitaries, as well as Chinese emperors.
But when trade in the Silk Road stopped, Dunhuang was soon forgotten and eventually, the Mogao caves were abandoned. The site however was still used as a place of worship by the local people of the 20th century when there was renewed awareness in its presence once more.
Most of the discoveries came from a Chinese Taoist monk named Wang Yuanlu who appointed himself as the guardian. The caves at that time were badly ignored, but Monk Wang recognized their value and instituted a program of restoration, funded by whatever donations he could gather.
He then made one of the great discoveries in Chinese archaeology: an amazing cache, of over 50,000 documents and paintings, which had been hidden in Mogao Cave #17. The cave #17 came to be known as the Library Cave, which was walled up sometime early in the 11th century. A number of theories have been proposed as the reason for sealing the cave. One theory was that the cave had become a waste storeroom for precious, damaged and used documents and holy equipment and then sealed perhaps when the place came under threat. Another suggestion is that the cave was simply used as a book storehouse for documents which accumulated over a century and a half, then sealed up when it became full. Others suggested that the monks hurriedly hid the documents in advance of an attack by invaders.
【1】What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A.The legend of Mogao Caves. B.The end of the old Silk Road.
C.The discovery of Mogao Caves. D.The development of the Silk Road.
【2】What did Wang Yuanlu do to restore the caves?
A.He evaluated their value. B.He raised donations in different ways.
C.He sent guards to protect them. D.He persuaded government to do repairs.
【3】What does “walled up” in the last paragraph mean?
A.Sealed. B.Built.
C.Hidden. D.Discovered.
【4】Why is Mogao Cave #17 considered a great discovery?
A.It used to be a library for monks. B.It stored valuable historical materials.
C.It had a history of over 1000 years. D.It was deserted for mysterious reasons.

24、 This summer, when earthquakes rocked Southern California on back-to-back days, it was a close-to-home reminder that we may one day experience the “Big One,” a quake with the power to kill and destroy. A few people, however, saw something else: a photo opportunity. Tourists poured to a large crack in a highway to see evidence of the damage for themselves and, of course, take a quick selfie.
【1】 It feeds so many of the weakest parts of ourselves: our born attraction to images of human faces instead of landscapes or objects, our interest in capturing memories, and yes, our need for social approval. Yet, it is easy to feel uncomfortable with selfies and even laugh at them, especially when they are risky or in bad taste. So why do we take selfies?
Selfies have become so common that my grandma does them when we get together. 【2】 Instead, selfies are a way for us to connect and communicate, and feel a more personal connection with people all around the world.
In one example, researchers developed a #ScientistsWhoSelfie campaign studying how scientists posting photos of themselves with their work on social media influenced public opinion of the profession. 【3】 “Those scientists in general were described as warmer, but no less competent,” said Paige Jarreau, the lead author on the study.
While some scientists refused at first, fearing that their colleagues would consider them self-centered or think they take their work less seriously, those concerns disappeared once researchers explained that it could help build public trust. “This is not just me taking a duck-faced (嘟嘟嘴) selfie or trying to look cute on camera,” said Dr Jarreau. “This is me being able to better tell the story about my science in a way that helps people trust me.”
【4】 Dr Jarreau recalled a road trip she made to national parks, where she witnessed so many people taking selfies, she began taking photos of the selfie-takers themselves. “Ask yourself: Why are you posting that picture?” she said. “If there was a platform that didn’t enable likes, would you post it?” After all, there are other ways to develop a social connection. You could send the photo to a private group. You could put it in a frame at home. You could be mindful in the moment by not taking it at all. 【5】
A. But if you do, watch your step.
B. There is no denying the draw of the selfie.
C. With each like, we feel better about ourselves.
D. The thought that selfie is the symbol of self-love is outdated.
E. However, most of us post mechanically, even madly, in our daily lives.
F. After all, people have been making self-portraits for long, in remarkably similar ways.
G. They found that photos with human faces helped improve impressions in a field that is often subject to negative stereotypes.
