21、   British beer and pubs are famous around the world. Things are changing, however. Is this the end of a great British tradition?

For thousands of years, a very important building in any British village has been the pub. In fact, until a place has a pub, it is not really considered a community worthy of a name. Traditionally, the pub is at the heart of any village or town, since it is where people gather to socialize and exchange news. It is an institution at the heart of British society. After all, the word “pub” is actually short for “public house”.

As a result, British pubs are often old and well preserved. Many of them have become historic sites that tourists visit. Many British pubs have names referring to monarchs, such as The King's Head or The Queen Victoria, but of course this doesn't mean they are only for kings and queens. Pubs have always welcomed people from all classes and parts of society. On a cold night, the pub boss can always find a warm place for customers by the fire. There is always honest and hearty food and plenty of drink available at an affordable price.

That's how it used to be, but there are worrying signs that things are beginning to change. Economic downturns, governmental austerity measures and cultural changes are causing many pubs to go out of business. People do not have a lot of spare money to spend on beer. On top of that, in 2007 smoking was banned in all public indoor spaces, including pubs, which may also have affected the number of customers going to pubs since then. This decline is happening despite the fact that pubs are now allowed by law to stay open after 11p.m..

In order to save their businesses, pubs are trying to diversify to attract new customers. And with various “save the pub” campaigns, there are signs that people are gathering around pubs to support this great British institution with pride.

【1】Why are British pubs often old?

A.Because the British want to attract tourists.

B.Because the birth of a community often results from a pub in it.

C.Because they are where people socialize and exchange news.

D.Because they follow in the tradition of British kings and queens.

【2】What does the underlined word “monarchs” in paragraph 3 probably mean?

A.Emperors. B.Bosses. C.Special tourists. D.Ordinary people.

【3】What causes many pubs to close down?

A.Cultural differences. B.Economic decline.

C.Changes in opening hours. D.Regulations against drinking.

【4】What is the author's attitude towards the future of British pubs?

A.Conservative. B.Skeptical. C.Hopeless. D.Objective.

22、There are many traditions around the world that are interesting and fun, but there are also those that are bizarre (奇异的) and even a little cruel.

In Sweden it's common for parents to leave their babies outside to nap (小睡) even when the temperatures are below zero. Many of us would find this custom dangerous, but many Swedes actually consider it good for their babies. They believe that by exposing their young ones to their country's cold temperature they can help their babies to grow up healthily and protect them from diseases. They also believe doing so will help them sleep longer and better.

In Bali, Indonesia, babies are forbidden to touch the ground for three months. The reason is that during the baby's first months its connection to the “spirit” is still unbroken and clean and letting it touch the ground would defile it. For three months, the baby is constantly held in someone's arms―the father, mother, grandparents, brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts and even neighbours. After 105 days, a special ceremony called the Nyabutan is held where the baby touches Mother Earth for the first time.

In Guatemala, it's common to see babies being bathed with cold water. Maya mothers commonly practise this bizarre ritual (仪式) with the belief that it's beneficial to the baby's health. Bathing their babies with cold water is also an effective means to eliminate heat rashes, and this custom helps babies sleep better.

Some Indians allow their babies to be thrown from temple roofs as high as 50 feet. This strange custom started 500 years ago and continues to this day, though there's a movement to ban it for obvious reasons. However, Hindus believe that performing this ritual brings good luck and health to their babies. Below the roof is a bed sheet that's held tightly by several men. The baby lands safely on the sheet. The tradition's practitioners and believers strongly prove that it's safe, saying no babies have ever been injured.

A．It is interesting and fun.

B．It is unique and thoughtful.

C．It is dangerous and a little cruel.

【2】What does the underlined word “defile” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

A．Make the best use of.

B．Make something dirty or no longer pure.

C．Leave or break away from.

D．Achieve or realise completely.

【3】In Guatemala babies are bathed with cold water ________.

A．to get rid of their heat rashes and make them sleep better

B．to prevent them from feeling hot during summer

C．in order to stop them from getting all kinds of illnesses

D．in order to bring good luck and health to those babies

【4】Why do some Indians ask the baby custom to be stopped?

26、请认真阅读下面文字，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。

A good book can expose readers to a weird (不可思议的) place — a place which you could call art or fiction. I call it wonder, for those moments where a story — no matter how strange — has some semblance (样子) of truth, and then you’re able to believe it. It’s not just kids who can get there. Adults can too, and we get there when we read. It’s why people will take the walking tour of Bloomsday and see everything that happened in Ulysses. Or people visit Baker Street to see Sherlock Holmes’ apartment. We know these characters aren’t real, but we have real feelings about them.

There is a word called metafiction (超小说) and that’s just stories about stories. And one metafictive technique is breaking the fourth wall. If I am going to break down the fourth wall, I want fiction to escape and come into the real world.  I want a book to be a secret door that opens and lets stories out into reality.
