21、As the most typical part of the art of Chinese language, idioms have contributed to the inheritance and development of the old Chinese culture. 【1】 This set of stamps includes three Chinese idioms often used to enlighten and encourage people.
The idiom Yu Gong Yi Shan (The Foolish Old Man Who Removed the Mountains) is from Liezi. In ancient times, there was an old man in front of whose house were Taihang and Wangwu Mountains. 【2】 So he gathered his family and began to dig the mountain and move the earth elsewhere, believing that with their continuous efforts, the mountains would finally be leveled. 【3】
The idiom Wo Xin Chang Dan(Sleeping on Brushwood and Tasting Gall)is from Records of the Grand History. In the Spring and Autumn Period, the State of Wu defeated the State of Yue, and captured the king of Yue, Gou Jian. After he was released and returned to his country, Gou Jian, never forgetting his shame, slept on a pile of brushwood and tasted gall before every meal. 【4】 This story encourages those who were once defeated to inspire themselves and struggle hard for recovery.
The idiom Wen Ji Qi Wu (Rising up to Practice Swordplay upon Hearing the Rooster Crow) is from The Book of Jin Dynasty. In the Jin Dynasty, to realize his ambition of serving the country, Zu Ti rose up every morning at the moment he heard the crow of a rooster to practice swordplay, and finally became a capable general. 【5】
A．Chinese language has a long history.
B．That made it inconvenient for him to come and go.

22、Doctors have a new weapon in the battle against obesity (过度肥胖) — a talking plate that tells people not to eat too quickly. The Mandometer monitors the amount of food leaving the plate, and tells users, “Please eat more slowly.”
The ￡1,500 Swedish device is to be used in a National Health Service plan to help hundreds of obese families lose weight. It comes in two parts — a scale placed under the plate and a small computer screen showing a graphic（图表） of the food gradually disappearing as the user eats. A red line on the screen shows the user’s eating speed, while a blue line shows a healthy rate. If the user eats too fast, the red line angles away from the blue one, warning him or her to ease off. If the lines deviate (偏离) too much, the computer voice comes on, and the screen flashes the message “Are you feeling full yet?” to remind users to think about whether they have had enough.
Britain has an increasingly serious obesity problem, with one in four adults and one in seven children classed as obese. After a recent trial using the device, experts believe teaching obese people to eat more slowly will help them know when they are full. Around 600 families with at least one obese parent and child (aged five or older) were targeted in the project by Bristol University, along with GPs and nurses.
Professor Julian Hamilton-Shield, who is leading the plan, says obese children and adolescents using the Mandometer ate from 12 to 15 percent less per meal at the end of the 12-month trial. Six months after they stopped using the device they still ate less, and continued to lose weight. “It will be a powerful tool to help families retrain their eating habits,” he says.
【1】 What does the red line on the screen show?
A. A healthy rate of eating. B. Too much food is left.
C. The user’s eating speed. D. The user is full.
【2】 What can we infer from the text?
A. The device can help obese people form good eating habits.
B. Every family will have such a device soon.
C. This device is the best way to lose weight.
D. People will no longer worry about obesity.
【3】 The underlined phrase ease off is closest in meaning to ______.
A. to become less tense B. to eat more slowly
C. to remove gently and slowly D. to stop
【4】 Which of the following is TRUE, according to the text?
A. 25% of children are obese in Britain.
B. One in seven adults is obese in Britain.
C. Children using the Mandometer ate less after the trial.
D. Six months after the trial, obese people are still eating a lot.
23、A good joke can be the hardest thing to understand when studying a foreign language. As a recent article in The Guardian newspaper noted，“There's more to understanding a joke in a foreign language than understanding vocabulary and grammar.”
Being able to understand local jokes is often seen as an incredible ice－breaker for a language learner eager to form friendships with native speakers. “I always felt that humor was a ceiling (上限) that I could never break through，” Hannah Ashley，a public relations account manager in London，who once studied Spanish in Madrid.Told The Guardian，“I could never speak to people on the same level as I would speak to a native English speaker. I almost came across as quite a boring person because all I could talk about was facts.”
In fact，most of the time，jokes are only funny for people who share a cultural background or understand humor in the same way. Chinese－American comedian Joe Wong found this out first－hand. He had achieved huge success in the US，but when he returned to China in 2008 for his first live show in Beijing，he discovered that people didn't think his Chinese jokes were as funny as his English ones.
In Australia，meanwhile many foreigners find understanding jokes about sports to be the biggest headache. “The hardest jokes are related to rugby because I know nothing about rugby，” said Melody Cao，who was once a student in Australia.“When I heard jokes I didn't get，I just laughed along.”
In the other two major English－speaking countries，the sense of humor is also different. British comedian Simon Pegg believes that while Britons use irony－basically，saying something they don't mean to make a joke－every day，people in the US don't see the point of using it so often. “British jokes tend to be more subtle and dark，while American jokes are more obvious with their meanings，a bit like Americans themselves，” he wrote in The Guardian.
【1】The writer quoted the sentence，“There's more to understanding a joke in a foreign language than understanding vocabulary and grammar.” to show that________．
A．making jokes can help you make friends with native speakers
B．local jokes can help you to understand the local culture better
C．understanding jokes requires a good knowledge of vocabulary and grammar
D．to understand its jokes，you'd better learn the culture
【2】What can we guess about Hannah Ashley?
A．She feels confident in using Spanish.
B．She believes that one had better rely on facts when speaking a foreign language.
C．She thinks that Spanish people do not have much of a sense of humor.
D．She feels that not being able to share their humor makes her seem boring to Spanish people.
【3】Joe Wong is used as an example to________．
A．show that there are cultural differences in humor
B．prove that it can be difficult to translate jokes
C．suggest that bilingual people(双语者) have no problems in making people laugh
D．show that the expressing ability affects the sense of humor
【4】From the article，we can learn that________．
A．jokes about sports are the most difficult ones for foreign people who have different cultural backgrounds
B．Americans might not be able to enjoy British jokes
C．not all English native speakers can understand English jokes easily
D．British people's dark jokes often make people uncomfortable
24、Is there link between humans and climate change or not? This question was first studied in the early 1900s. Since then, many scientists have thought that our actions do make a difference. In 1997, the Kyoto Protocol explained our role in the Earth’s changing atmosphere and set international limits for gas emissions(排放) from 2008 to 2012. Some countries have decided to continue these reductions until 2020. More recently, the Paris Agreement, stuck by nearly 200 countries, also aims to limit global warming. But just now how much warmer it will get depends on how deeply countries cut carbon emissions.
