So how did Chinese people in ancient times keep food warm in winter without these? In fact, ancient Chinese people used their own methods of heat preservation as early as the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. “Wen Ding”, ancient rice cookerOne of the major functions of an electric rice cooker is to keep food warm. The “Wen Ding”, an ancient cooking container, served the same purpose, but instead of using electric energy, the ancient cooking container preserved heat by burning fuels like charcoal.The “Wen Ding” unearthed in Nanjing in 1989 is thought to be the oldest of its kind discovered in China, dating back to the Stone Age. The craftsmanship of making the “Wen Ding” was developed in the Bronze Age. The bronze Ding from the Shang and Zhou Dynasties took on different shapes and structures. “Ran Lu”, ancient small hot potThe “Ran Lu” is a small size cooking vessel (器皿) made of bronze, which can be divided into three parts. A charcoal stove forms the main structure, with a bottom tray to hold charcoal ashes, and a movable cup at the top. Some experts have concluded that the vessels structure suggests it may have been used as a small hot pot and that these vessels became popular in the Warring States Period (475221 B.C.). Bronze You, ancient kettleThe Bronze You was one of the most common wine containers during the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. The Bronze You can also be used to warm wine. For example, the Bronze You with beast mask design, unearthed in Jiangxi Province, has an opening where charcoal could be placed. Just as people today cant do without an electric kettle, the Bronze You allowed people to enjoy a hot drink. Bronze Yan, ancient steamerAlthough the “Wen Ding” was effective at keeping food warm, the ancient Chinese people later found that its burning process produced pollution. As a result, the Bronze Yan made with a two-tier structure and used to steam rice and other grains. After the Eastern Han Dynasty (25A.D.-220A.D.), further improvements to the Bronze Yan led to the modern-day steamer.21. When did the “Ran Lu” become popular?A. In the Zhou Dynasty.B. In the Eastern Han Dynasty.C. In the Warring States Period.D. In the Stone Age.22. The Bronze You, unearthed in Jiangxi Province, has an opening to . A. place charcoalB. store wineC. pour waterD. hold charcoal ashes23. What is the unique advantage of the Bronze Yan? A. It is warm.B. It is convenient.C. It is useful.D. It is environment-friendly.BI am a strong believer that if a child is raised with approval, he will learn to love himself and will be successful in his own way.Several weeks ago, I was doing homework with my son in the third grade and he kept standing up from his chair to go over the math lines. I kept asking him to sit down, telling him that he should concentrate better. He sat but seconds later, as if he didnt even notice he was doing it, he got up again. I was getting frustrated, but then it hit me. I started noticing his answers were much quicker and accurate when he stood up. Could he be more intent while standing up?This made me start questioning myself and what I had been raised to believe. I was raised to believe that a quiet, calm child was a sure way to success. This child would have the discipline to study hard, get good grades and become someone important in life.Now those same people perhaps come to realize that their kids are born with their own sets of DNA and personality traits, and all you can do is loving and accepting them. As parents, throughout their growing years and beyond that, we need to be our kids best cheerleaders, guiding them and helping them find their way.I have stopped asking my son to sit down and concentrate. Obviously, he is concentrating just in his own way and not mine. We need to learn to accept our kids ways of doing things. Some way may have worked for me but doesnt mean we need to carry it through generations. There is nothing sweeter than being individual and unique. It makes us free and happy and thats just the way I want my kids to live their own life.24. At the beginning, the author tried to keep his son seated in order to make him .A. finish his homework on timeB. keep silent in the roomC. pay more attention to his studyD. get right answers25. Inspired by the case of his son, the author began to doubt .A. the old form of educationB. the importance of parentsC. the relationship between kids and their parentsD. the good grades of some kids26. According to the passage, which of the following statements is RIGHT?A. We should help kids correct their wrong ways.B. Parents should love and accept their kids.C. Parents should study their kids DNA.D. Kids should be taught to behave themselves.27. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?A. Study Hard and Youll Be Successful.B. Be Friendly to Your Children.C. Parents Help with Their Childrens Study.D. Childrens Success in Their Own Style.CUS scientists say they have poured cold water on the theory that washing hands with hot water kills more germs (细菌) than unheated water. The small study of 20 people found using water at 15C (59F) left hands as clean as water heated to 38C (100F).National Health Service (NHS) recommends that people wash their hands in either cold or warm water. In this study, scientists at Rutgers University-New Brunswick wanted to find out if popular assumptions about the benefits of warm or hot water and official guidance on hot water given to the food industry in the US held true. They asked 20 people to wash their hands 20 times each with water that was 15C (59F), 26C (79F) or 38 degrees (100F). Volunteers were also asked to experiment with varying amounts of soap. Before they started the tests, their hands were covered in harmless bugs. Researchers say there was no difference in the amount of bugs removed as the temperature of the water or the amount of soap changed.Prof Donald Schaffner said: “People need to feel comfortable when they are washing their hands but as far as effectiveness goes, this study shows us that the temperature of the water used did not matter.”However, the researchers accept their study is small and say more extensive work is needed to determine the best ways to remove harmful bacteria.In the UK, NHS experts say people can use cold or hot water to wash their hands. They say hands should be washed for at least 20 seconds and stress the importance of using enough soap to cover the whole surface of the hands. Their guidance focuses on rubbing hands together in various ways to make sure each surface of each hand is clean.28. What does the underlined phrase “poured cold water” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Proved.B. Contradicted.C. Created.D. Accepted.29. After they washed their hands with either hot or cold water, .A. volunteers all didnt feel very comfortableB. volunteers all talked about American food industryC. volunteers still had much germ on their handsD. volunteers nearly had the same amount of germ removed30. How do the researchers feel about their study?A. It is popular.B. It is convincing.C. It is incomplete.D. It is abstract.31. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. Using Cold Water Instead of Hot Water.B. How to Use Cold Water to Wash HandsC. It Is Better to Wash Hands in Cold Water.D. Washing Hands in Cold Water as Good as Hot.DThe health of millions could be at risk because supplies of medicinal plants are being used up. These plants are used to make traditional medicine, including drugs to fight cancer. “The loss of medicinal plants is a quiet disaster,” says Sara Oldfield, secretary general of the NGO Botanic Gardens Conservation International.Most people worldwide rely on herbal (药草制的) medicines which are got mostly from wild plants. But some 15,000 of the 50,000 medicinal species are under threat of dying out, according to report from the international conservation group Plantlife. Shortages have been reported in China, India, Kenya, Nepal, Tanzania and Uganda.Over-harvesting does the most harm, though pollution and competition from invasive species (入侵物种) and habitat destruction all contribute. Businessmen generally harvest medicinal plants, not caring about sustainability (可持续性),” the Plantlife report says, “damage is serious partly because they have no idea about it. but it is mainly because such collection is unorganized” Medicinal trees at risk include the Himalayan yew (紫衫) and the African cherry, which are used to treat some cancers.The solution, says the reports author, Alan Hamilton, is to encourage local people to protect these plants. Ten projects studied by Plantlife in India, Pakistan, China, Nepal, Uganda and Kenya showed this method can succeed. In Uganda, the project has kept a sustainable supply of low-cost cancer treatments, and in China a public-run medicinal plant project has been created for the first time.”“Improving health, earning an income and keeping cultural traditions are important in encouraging people to protect medicinal plants,” says Hamilton, “You have to pay attention to what people are interested in.”Ghillean Prance, the former director of the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew in London, agrees that medicinal plants are in need of protection. “Not nearly enough is being done,” he told New Scientist. “We are destroying the very plants that are of most use to us.”32. From the first two paragraphs, we can learn that .A. millions of people are threatened with cancerB. most countries see a shortage of herbal medicines C. about two thirds of medicinal species will disappearD. a number of medicinal species are in danger of extinction 33. The major factor that causes the decreasing of supplies of medicinal plants is .A. over-harvestingB. habitat destructionC. pollutionD. invasive species 34. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refers to .A. pollutionB. other species invasionC. sustainabilityD. over-harvesting35. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Protecting medicinal plants has a long way to go.B. Local people dont know how to protect medicinal plants.C. Ghillean Prance is optimistic about medicinal plants future.D. China has made great progress in protecting medicinal plants.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选顶。Travel Abroad Dos and DontsPlanning a trip abroad with femily or friends this summer break?
