Here are three things you probably didnt know about pizza.1: Pizzas Origins Are Half-Baked.The Neapolitans（那不勒斯人）in Italy are proud of saying they invented pizza, but its probably more accurate to say, they perfected it. The idea of putting toppings on a flatbread and baking it started in the 6th century B. C. But the people of Naples were the first to put tomato on a flatbread in the 16th century. From its start, pizza was a food of the poor, as it was cheap, filling and easy to eat on the run. In Italian, the word “pizza” refers to anything that is made and then pressed flat.2: Pizza Margherita Is Not Exactly a Symbol of Italy.It was said some day in 1889, a local baker named Raffaele Esposito created three pizzas for Queen Margherita when she was on a tour of Italy. The queen loved the version that had tomato, basil and mozzarella cheese- and just happened to match the colors of the Italian flag. So Esposito named the pizza after her.But Pizza historian Scott Wiener points out that Italy was unified in name only in 1889 so it was unlikely any Neapolitan baker would want to celebrate “the Northern conquerors.” Further, the letter of gratitude for the pizza from the royal household that Pizzeria Brandi displays appears to be a fake and may just have been a marketing plan.3: Hawaliian Pizza Invented by a Canadian.Sam Panopoulos, from Greece originally moved to Canada at the age of 20. In 1962, he decided to put some ham and pineapple on a pizza at one of his restaurants in Ontario.“We just put it on for fun to see how it was going to taste,” he told the BBC in 2020. Panopoulos named it the Hawaiian pizza after the brand of canned pineapple he used. The mix of sweet and savory toppings caught on with a certain part of the pizza-loving public. The inventor died in 2020.21. Who was pizza first made for?A. The people of Naples.B. The poor Neapolitan people.C. The rich Italian people.D. Queen Margherita specially.22. What can we learn about Pizza Margherita?A. It was intended to match the colors of the Italian flag.B. It was made to celebrate the Northern conquerors.C. It was made to cater for Queen Margherta.D. It was displayed in the royal house.23. How did the name of Hawaiian Pizza come?A. It was named after a brand of canned pineapple.B. It was named after a restaurant in Ontario.C. It came from a local Hawaiian cook.D. It came from the pizza-loving public.BThe audiences of the UK will have an opportunity to enjoy a feast of Chinese culture when the China National Peking Opera Company returns to the country for the fourth time for a series of workshops and performances. Events will be held at the British Library, Oxfords Ashmolean Museum and the world-famous dance theater of Sadlers Wells, featuring artists including Lisa Lu, Yu Kuizhi and Li Shengsu.On Thursday at the British Library, Lisa Lu, who also played a role in recent cinema hit Crazy Rich Asians, will lead a group of artists from China, the US and the UK to discuss their experiences of working across a variety of artistic fields in different cultures over many decades.The series of activities also include interactive workshops, which explain the intricacies（错综复杂）of the attractive art of Peking Opera.

One reason, of course, is that mice are not men. Another, though, might have to do with the fact that while human patients are afforded all kinds of creature comforts, their animal proxies (代替物) arent. Although medical sciences favourite creatures relish temperatures of a little over 30 , laboratories routinely keep them at five or ten degrees below that. This is not in order to abuse the beasts, but rather, because when kept warm they are unmanageably aggressive.The downside is that they have to eat more than they otherwise would, in order to keep their bodies warm. That changes their physiology(生理) . And that in turn changes the way they metabolise (新陈代谢) drugs, with possibly confusing results. Joseph Garner, from Stanford University, thinks the answer is to keep the labs cool, but let mice deal with the low temperatures as they do in their natural habitat: not by eating more but by building nests.So far, though, no one has a clear idea of how much nesting material is needed to keep mice happy. Dr Garner and his colleagues therefore decided to find out. They have just reported their results in the Public Library of Science. Dr Gamer and his team let each of their mice, 36 males and as many females from three types commonly used in trials, wander free in two cages connected by a narrow tube. One cage was kept constant at one of six temperatures between 20 and 35 The other was maintained at 20C but was supplied with up to ten grams of very small pieces of paper, which the mice could use to weave a nest.The idea was to check whether the animals would rather build a nest in the cooler cage or move to the warmer one, possibly pulling nesting material along with them little by little. The researchers found that the mices preferences varied slightly between types, as well as between sexes (with females fond of higher temperatures, possibly because of their thinner protective layer of fat) , confirming that there is no single set of conditions in which all mice feel cosy.In general, though, with little nesting material around, the mice laboriously(耗时费力地) carried pieces of paper over to the warmer spot, one or two at a time. But leave at least six grams of paper in the cold cage, and many mice will prefer instead to brave the cold and build a nest there.That seems a small price to pay for better drug trials.28. What does the underlined word relish in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. resist B. enjoy C. avoid D. maintain29. Mice eating more than they normally do may lead to_.A. better management of their behaviorB. their different body response to drugsC. A slowdown in their metabolismD. A confusion in their mind30. Dr Garner and his team found that_.A. mice keep warm by moving pieces of paperB. female mice better beat the cold than male miceC. mice tend to fight the cold under certain conditionsD. different types of mice prefer very different temperatures31. To have a better drug trial, researchers need to_.A. provide little food B. use other animal proxiesC. raise the lab temperature D. prepare enough nesting materialDChina has the highest adoption rate in the world for technology-enabled payment systems, according to a report released on Wednesday. The report, from the market research firm Nielsen, is based on a survey of 13,000 respondents in 26 countries.The survey showed that 86 percent of Chinese respondents said they paid for online purchases during the past six months via digital payment systems compared with a global average of just 43 percent.“Chinese consumers have more payment choices for products and services than ever while digital payment will continue to win over more Chinese consumers due to its convenient nature,” said Kiki Fan, managing director of Nielsen China.The increasingly popular payment method is part of the rapidly evolving purchasing behavior of Chinese consumers. About 98 percent of the respondents in China, the worlds largest e-commerce market, said they had made purchase online.The majority of them still make online purchases via computers, but the number of those who use mobile devices to make purchases is growing fast and is significantly higher than the average in other surveyed countries.At 71 percent, food-related businesses topped the list of purchases made via smart phones while event ticket purchases stood at 51 percent.The rising use of digital payment has attracted numerous players to the Chinese market.Apple Inc. launched its contactless payment system Apple Pay in the Chinese mainland last month. It allows users of the iPhone 6 or more advanced versions, certain iPads and Apple Watches to pay with their devices in bricks-and-mortar (实体) stores.Apples rival Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. is expected to bring its own mobile payment service to China in mid-March - Samsung Pay.Chinas Internet giants Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. and Tencent Holdings Ltd. have already taken about 90 percent of the mobile payment market, but industry observers say the competition is just about to start.32. What do the first and second paragraphs mainly tell us?A. China has the most digital payment users.B. A digital report is released on Wednesday.C. Chinese consumers have more payment choices.D. People in 26 countries paid for online purchases.33. Where do most of the Chinese make online purchases according to the passage?A. On smart phones.B. On computers.C. On iPads.D. In bricks-and- mortar stores.34. What will probably take place in China according to the passage?A. More and more businesses will enter the Chinese market.B. Chinese consumers will have more payment choices.C. Food-related companies will top the list of purchases.D. The iPhone 6 or more advanced versions will appear.35.

If so, then you are a third-culture kid!The term “third-culture kid” (or TCK) was coined in the 1960s by Dr. Ruth. She first came across this phenomenon when she researched North American children living in India. Caught between two cultures, they form their very own. 36 About 90 percent of them have a university degree, while 40 percent pursue a postgraduate or doctor degree. They usually benefit from their intercultural experience, which helps them to grow into successful academics and professionals.37 In fact many hardships may arise from this phenomenon. A third-culture kid may not be able to adapt themselves completely to their new surroundings as expected. Instead, they may always remain an outsider in different host cultures. Max, for example, experienced this fundamental feeling of strangeness throughout his life as a third-culture kid. 38 While this can be a way to create a network of friends all around the world, it can be difficult for a third-culture kid like Max to maintain close friendships and relationships.For a third-culture kid, it is often easier to move to a new foreign country than to return to their “home” country. After living in Australia and South Korea for many years, Louis finally returned to Turkey as a teenager. But she felt out of place when she returned to the country where she was born. 39 She did not share the same values as her friends even years after going back home.While a third-culture kid must let go of their identity as foreigner when he/she returns, the home country can prove to be more foreign than anything he/she came across before. The peer group they face does not match the idealized image children have of “home”. 40As a part of the growing “culture”, TCKs may find it a great challenge for them to feel at home in many places.A. Yet being a third-culture kid is not always easy.B. In general, they often reach excellent academic results.C. This often makes it hard for them to form their own identity.D. However, their parents can help them see the opportunities of a mobile lifestyle.E. Their experience abroad helps them to gain a better understanding of cultural differences.F. Unlike other teens of her age, she didnt know anything about current TV shows or fashion trends.G. Additionally, making new friends and saying goodbye to old ones will at some point becomeroutine for a third-culture kid.第三部分 英语知识运用 (共两节，满分45)第一节完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Years ago, we celebrated our oldest sons first birthday by holding a super party.
