21、 If you're dreaming of a white Christmas, don't go to Key West.
As winter spreads over the northern United States, Key West, Florida, with its tropical (热
带的) weather, white sand beaches, and lively nightlife, is a popular escape.
Conch Republic
A conch is a type of sea shell that has become a symbol of the Florida Keys. On April 23, 1982, part joke and part objection, the Florida Keys declared their "independence". They surrendered (投降) after one minute. Although they were never independent, residents (居民) of the Florida Keys celebrate their "independence day" every April 23rd.
Ernest Hemingway House
Key West's most famous resident was the brilliant but troubled writer Ernest Hemingway. Ernest and his wife, Pauline, lived in a house in Key West from 1931 t0 1939. In this house, Hemingway wrote some of his most famous stories, including "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" and "To Have and Have Not. "
Southernmost Point
A short walk from the Ernest Hemingway house is the most photographed site in Key West. It is a marker showing the southernmost point in the United States. Tourists wait in long lines to take pictures in front of the monument. It reads "90 miles to Cuba. " The Southern most Point reminds Americans that Cuba is so close, but so far away. There have been no direct transport connections between Key West and Cuba since the 1950s.

22、Wearing a face mask will keep you and others safer when you have to leave the house. 【1】. But the bad news is that you now realize you suffer from unpleasant smells. Here are four ways to combat bad breath and make wearing a mask a more pleasant experience.
●Keep away from certain foods
Onions and garlic not only add flavor to many foods but also add smells that are not easily brushed away. The substances that cause their bad smells make their way into your bloodstream and travel to your lungs, where you breathe them out. 【2】.
● 【3】
Saliva (唾液) is the key ingredient in your mouth that helps keep the smell under control because it helps wash away food particles and bacteria. If you are not producing much saliva, try drinking water or chewing sugarless gum.
●Brush your teeth
You’d better brush your teeth at least twice a day to reduce harmful bacteria on your teeth. The sticky buildup on your teeth collects bacteria that cause bad breath, and trapped food adds to the problem. 【4】. It is proved that if you brush too hard, you can wear down your teeth, making them vulnerable to decay.
●Brush your tongue
【5】. It can end up on your tongue. To rid your tongue of smell—causing bacteria, remember to brush it when you clean your teeth. If your toothbrush is too big to reach the back of your tongue, buy a tool used for removing the accumulation.
A．Avoid dry mouth
B．Wash your hands
C．That’s the good news
D．Buy a proper toothbrush instead
E．Bacteria don’t just live on your teeth
F．But the experts warn against overdoing it.
G．Avoiding those foods is the best way to get rid of the problem
23、More than four decades ago British scientist Robert Edwards first witnessed the miracle of human life growing inside a test tube at his Cambridge lab. Since that ground-breaking moment, more than four million babies have been born through IVF and in 2010 his great contribution to science was finally recognized as he was awarded the Nobel Prize for medicine．
The prize for Dr Edwards, who was given a Daily Mirror Pride of Britain Award in 2008, includes￡900,000 cheque. The Nobel Assembly described IVF as a "milestone in modern medicine"．
With the help of fellow scientist Patrick Steptoe, the Manchester-born physiologist developed IVF — leading to the birth of the world's first test tube baby. Dr Steptoe died 10 years later but their work has transformed fertili-
-ty treatment and given hope to millions of couples．
It was a scientific breakthrough that transformed the lives of millions of couples. They said: "His achievemen-
-ts have made it possible to treat infertility, a disease which makes human unable to have a baby. This condition has been afflicting a large percentage of mankind including more than 10% of all couples worldwide.”
Louise Brown, the world's first test tube baby, made international headlines when she was born in Oldham, Gtr Manchester, in 1978 to parents Lesley and John who had been fruitlessly trying for a baby since 1969．
Ivf-in-vitro fertilisation is the process whereby egg cells are fertilised outside the body before being implanted in the womb. After a cycle of IVF, the probability of a couple with infertility problems having a baby is one in five — the same as healthy couples who conceive naturally．
Professor Edwards, who has five daughters and 11 grandchildren, began his research at Cambridge University in 1963, after receiving his PhD in 1955．He once said: "The most important thing in life is having a child. Noth-
-ing is more special than a child.” With the help of fellow scientist Patrick Steptoe, Prof. Edwards founded the Bourn Hall clinic in Cambridge shire, which now treats more than 900 women a year. Each year, more than 30,000 women in Britain now undergo IVF and 11,000 babies are born as a result of the treatment．
But his work attracted widespread criticism from some scientists and the Catholic Church who said it was "unethical and immoral"．
Martin Johnson, professor of reproductive（生殖的） sciences at the University of Cambridge, said the award was "long overdue". He said: “We couldn't understand why the Nobel has come so late but he is delighted — this is the cherry on the cake for him.”
Professor Edwards was too ill to give interviews but a statement released by his family said he was "thrilled and delighted"．
【1】What is Robert Edwards’ contribution to science?
A. Challenging a disease which stops human having a baby．
B. Seeing the wonder of the first tube baby growing.
C. Enabling millions of couples to live a better life．
D. Helping couples with infertility to have tube babies．
【2】What does the underlined word “afflicting”（Paragraph 4）most probably refer to?
A. Troubling. B. Developing.
C. Improving. D. Confusing.
【3】Why did Professor Edwards begin his research on tube baby?
A. Because he thought it of great significance to have a child in life．
B. Because the birthrate around the world was unexpectedly low then．
C. Because a special child did make a difference to an ordinary family．
D. Because his fellow scientist wanted to give hope to the unlucky couples．
【4】It can be inferred from Paragraph 8 and Paragraph 9 that ___________．
A. some people envied Professor Edwards for his being awarded
B. different opinions were voiced on Professor Edwards’ finding
C. Professor Edwards deserved the prize for his breakthrough
D. the prize was late because the finding was first considered immoral

A. Life Stories of Robert Edwards
B. Preparations for Having a Baby

D. Treatment of Infertility in a Lab
24、 Venice is suffering the worst flooding the city has experienced in 50 years. The city is “on its knees” and Venetian Mayor Luigi Brugnaro tweeted as water submerged (淹没) much of the famous historical city.
While floods are a normal part of life in Venice, they have never happened with such frequency before. Experts say that climate change is likely to blame. 【1】 The Venetian council voted against a measure to fight climate change just a few moments before their chamber (会议厅) flooded.
Flooding is just one of the many impacts from climate change that is being experienced with more frequency and globally threatens many vulnerable (脆弱的) areas and regions. There is a threat that is not often considered. 【2】 Natural and man-made heritage sites throughout the world are in danger of being damaged or destroyed by climate change.
【3】 Some will be hit by flooding, like Venice, others by extreme weather events or rising temperatures. For instance, George Town, the capital of the Malaysian state Penang faces rising sea levels, landslides and more severe typhoons, while Yellowstone ecosystem in the western United States faces melting snows, more frequent wildfires and a changing ecosystem.
Changes in the ocean will have a profound impact on many of these sites. 【4】 And rising sea levels threaten to wash away many of the world’s great archaeological sites.
Experts say that the solutions to saving these sites will be varied, but many will be very expensive. 【5】
A．Different ways can be used to save these sites.
B．Climate change will impact these sites in different ways.
C．It is the damage from climate change to the world’s heritage.
