21、 The word photography was first used in 1839. However, at that time the subject (被拍对象) had to keep still while a picture of it was taken. Few people had ever tried to take photos of moving subjects. The first man to do so was Eadweard Muybridge, a world-famous photographer. He created the first moving picture.
When a horse is running, do all four hooves (蹄)ever leave the ground at the same time? That was the bet that a gentleman called Leland Stanford had with some of his friends. Most people believed that a horse always had one hoof on the ground, but Stanford didn’t think: so. Because a horse’s legs are moving so fast, it’s impossible to tell just by looking. Stanford needed a way to record the movement of a running horse. In 1872, Leland Stanford offered Eadweard Muybridge $25,000 to find the answer. Muybridge had no idea if he could successfully set up and perform an experiment to settle (解决) the bet, but he thought he should give it a try.
In 1878, after years of experiments, Muybridge got what he wanted. He had a sequence (连续) of 12 images (图像), and one of them clearly showed all four of the horse’s hooves were off the ground at the same time. In the end Muybridge collected his well-earned $25,000 from Stanford.
Though Thomas Edison is usually considered as the person who created the first cine-camera (电影摄影机) in 1889, it was the work of Eadweard Muybridge and the bet that led to Edison’s invention.
【1】The underlined word “still” most probably means “________” in Chinese.
A.安逸的 B.平衡的 C.直立的 D.静止的
【2】Leland Stanford thought that ________.
A.a horse always had one hoof on the ground while running
B.a horse had all 4 hooves off the ground at some point while running
C.it was possible for Eadweard Muybridge to make a moving picture
D.it was impossible for Eadweard Muybridge to make a moving picture
【3】Muybridge finally found the answer to the bet in ________.
A.1839 B.1872 C.1878 D.1887
【4】Muybridge’s experiments proved that it was ________ who won the bet.
A.Stanford B.Stanford’s friends. C.Muybridge D.Muybridge’s friends
【5】The passage mainly tells us ________.
A.that Thomas Edison created the first cine-camera
B.that Eadweard Muybridge created the first still pictures
C.how photography helped people know more about animals

22、 “You have saved my horse,” Queen Olivia told the young boy standing before her. “Now you shall get a gift for what you did.” Peter nervously ran his fingers through his brown hair. That day when he was working in the field, the shocked horse ran past him. Without thinking, he rushed out and controlled it. He didn’t know it was the Queens horse and never expected to get a gift. But he still felt happy for getting one.
Two of the queen’s men appeared. One carried a mirror. Red jewels(珠宝) shone on top of the mirror’s silver frame(框架). The other carried a wooden cage with a chicken inside it.
“Only one gift can be yours,” the queen said. “Choose wisely.” “That’s easy,” Peter said, “I’ll take the chicken.” Some of the queen’s men laughed. It was clear that they thought he had made a foolish choice.
“And why did you choose the chicken? ”the queen asked. “Well, I don’t know much about jewels,” Peter answered. “But I do know about chickens, The chicken will provide eggs for my family for a long while.”
Queen Olivia smiled. “Then you did make a wise choice,” she said. “That mirror may look beautiful. But the jewels you see are only colored glass, and the frame is painted silver. The chicken is much more valuable.” Peter took the chicken and bowed. “Thank you, your majesty.”
“ You are a smart child,” the queen added. “I could use a smart boy to help take care of my horses. Would you like to take the job?” Peter smiled. “Thank you very much!” he said excitedly.

23、 Chinese people are eating too much salt. On average, people in China eat about 10. 5 grams of salt each day, much higher than the 6 grams recommended(建议)by Chinese Dietary Guidelines(2016).
China now has one of the highest salt intakes(摄入量) in the world. To fix this, China had the first salt reduction(减少) guide for its food industry.
If the guide is followed properly, the average salt intake for Chinese people will drop by 20 percent by 2030. The guide calls for food companies to lower the salt content in their products by improving their production techniques(技术) and adjusting(调整) flavors.
The salt we take in mainly comes from processed(加工的)food. For example, a 104-gram can of Lay’s classic potato chips has about 0. 66 grams of salt in it, which accounts for over 10 percent of the recommended daily salt intake. A 100-gram bag of Kangshifu instant noodles has nearly 2 grams of salt.
A small amount of salt makes food taste better and is important for good health, but eating too much increases the risk of high blood pressure, heart attacks(心脏病)and strokes(中风), the Xinhua News Agency reported.
Less salt leads to better health. And there’s no need to worry that food will be less tasty in the future. A study by the Monell Chemical Senses Center in the United States found that it’s easy for people to reduce their salt intake. Although you may think your food is not salty enough at first, your taste buds(味蕾) will gradually get used to it and you will feel that your food tastes the same as it did before.
【1】What does the underlined word “this” refer to in the second paragraph?
A. The average salt intake. B. The highest salt intake.
C. The lowest salt intake. D. The recommended daily salt intake.
【2】What can we learn from the fourth paragraph?
A. Salt is bad for our body. B. Processed food has much salt.
C. Processed food is delicious. D. Salt mainly comes from China.

A. It causes some illnesses. B. It is better for our health.
C. It may make us run faster. D. It will help us improve our skills.
【4】What is the passage mainly about?
A. China now has one of the lowest salt intakes in the world.
B. Chinese people love eating salt very much.
C. We usually like buying sweet food.
D. People should eat less salt.
