21、 European architecture in Tianjin is a window showing China’s historical changes. In a one-day tour, you can see some old western-style private residences, former Imperial Gardens and enjoy Tianjin snacks, like a time traveler.
The Garden of Jingyuan
The Garden of Jingyuan was constructed in 1921. It’s now an excellent example of an old private residence in Tianjin, which is now well-preserved. The last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Puyi, once lived here after his abdication(退位), from July 1929 to November 1931. He changed the name to Jingyuan, which references his desire to strengthen and ennoble his spirit by living in a peaceful environment.
Address: 70 Anshan Road, Heping District
Transport: Anshan Road (Subway Line 1)
Tickets & Opening Hours: Closed Monday; Tuesday to Sunday, 8:30-5:00p.m. RMB ¥20 per person
Zhangyuan Garden
This grand mansion was built in 1915 by Zhang Biao, a former high-ranking official in the Qing Court. In 1924, Dr. Sun Yat-sen and his wife Soong Ching Ling stayed in it for several months. In 1925, Puyi, the last emperor of China, had a brief stay here after his abdication from Beijing. It is certainly a strange coincidence that the founder of the Republic of China and the last emperor chose exactly the same place to live, though at different times.
The mansion is visible from the street, but the buildings and gardens are not open to the public at present.
Italianate Street
Nearly 200 European-style buildings have been conserved in the old Italian Concession(租借地)and form the modern --Italian-style Street on the north bank of the Haihe River. The street has been developed as a shopping center and entertainment district. A square named after Marco Polois surrounded by numerous Italianate large buildings. Pictures of their former residences will be a highlight of your photo albums.
Address: The Cross Between Shengli Road and Ziyou Road, Hebei District
Transport: Jianguo Road (Subway Line 2)
Tickets & Opening Hours: Access all day for nothing

22、 International demand for black rhinoceros horn has seen the animals killed relentlessly for decades in countries such as Namibia, Zimbabwe and South Africa. In 1960 there were an estimated 100,000 left, and by 1995 fewer than 2,500 remained. Conservation efforts have brought the number up to around 5,600 today - but the species is still critically endangered, and poaching (偷猎)is among its biggest threats.
Scientists have worked to protect these rare creatures by tracking them with GPS devices strapped to their necks or ankles or implanted in their horns. The resulting data let researchers monitor the rhinos' numbers and when they enter poaching hotspots. But the devices can fail, and drugging the animals to attach them may cause harm.
A recent study describes a new tracking technology that uses smartphones to record rhino footprints. Called the footprint-identification technique (FIT), this system includes software that can analyze the animals’ movements from a distance to help keep them safe from poachers.
The idea came from working with local trackers in Zimbabwe. These footprint-reading experts can identify individual black rhinos from the shape of their feet and, when visible, the impressions left by cracks in the animals’ heel pads (爪垫), which are as distinctive as a human fingerprint. "We probably wouldn't even have looked at the footprints in the first place if we didn't have indigenous trackers," says Sky Alibhai, co-founder of conservation organization WildTrack.
To use the system, scientists gather rhino footprint images with a smartphone application and upload the pictures to a global database. FIT software analysis can then identify the individual animal and determine its age and sex with up to 99 percent accuracy. Researchers can also estimate the number of black rhinos in an area and watch their movements.
“I think this is great for monitoring animals and counting individuals,” says Ciska Scheijen, a conservation scientist. Scheijen wonders about FIT's performance during the rainy season, when footprints are often indistinct, and if it can track larger herds as opposed to the 35 odd individuals this study monitored.
【1】What does the underlined word "them" in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．Homs.
B．Rhinos.
C．Devices.
D．Smartphones.

B．It has been widely applied in animal protection.
C．It can analyze footprints with a rather high accuracy.
D．It can identify the rhino footprints and human fingerprints.
【3】What is Ciska Scheijen's attitude towards FIT?
A．Positive.
B．Uncertain.
C．Disapproving.
D．Objective.
【4】What is the text mainly about?
A．Black rhinos are endangered due to poaching.
B．A new app tracks black rhinos through their footprints.
C．Scientists have invented a new tracking technology FIT.
D．Conservation organizations save endangered black rhinos.
23、Remember when your mom told you not to eat too many candy bars or sweets because they can cause tooth decay (蛀牙)? However, it turns out that chocolate can be more salutary to your teeth than you might expect. Recent studies show that chocolate can effectively fight against tooth decay, as if we need another excuse to eat chocolate.
Chocolate offers protection like fluoride, a main ingredient in most household toothpastes. Not only does chocolate protect our teeth, but it can do so very effectively. Studies show that chocolate has compounds that provide strong protection for teeth. One of the compounds in chocolate, CBH, is shown to protect even more effectively than fluoride.
Tooth decay happens when bacteria work to turn sugar into acids in our mouth. This is why eating foods with high sugar content can lead to more tooth decay. The compounds in chocolate, however, are anti-bacteria and can fight against bacteria in your mouth. The CBH compound in particular also works to strengthen tooth enamel (牙釉质), and protects against tooth decay.
Does this mean you can cat as much chocolate as you want without worrying about your teeth? It depends on the types of chocolate that you like. The protective effect of chocolate is most effective when you chew on cocoa beans. Of course, this option is not very appealing to; most people. A more tasty option is to choose dark chocolate with little sugar content, ideally no more than 6 to 8 grams per serving. For other types of chocolate with higher sugar content, the effect will be lessened. However, because of the protective compounds, it is still better for your teeth than other sweets and desserts containing the same amount of sugar.
【1】The word “salutary” in paragraph 1 means?
A．Beneficial.
B．Harmful.
C．Familiar.
D．Useless.
【2】What can we know about the compound CBH in chocolate?
A．It can help chocolate cure tooth decay.
B．It can effectively stop teeth from decaying.
C．It may protect teeth better than toothpastes do.
D．It may soon replace most household toothpastes.
【3】How does chocolate fight tooth decay?
A．By breaking down acids.
B．By building up compounds.
C．By fixing up tooth enamel.
D．By fighting against bacteria.
【4】What's the main idea of the text?
A．Chocolate plays the role of toothpaste.
B．Chocolate protects against tooth decay.
C．Chocolate is the best choice for teeth protection.
D．Chocolate is healthier to teeth than other sweets.
