Some, for example, have no membership or identification requirements, and some do not even request that the books be returned.” The oversized bird box in a park in Lowa is part of the Little Free Library Movement, which was established in Wisconsin in 2020.Phone BoothsThis design from the firm, Stereotank, offers browsing shelter for passers-by. In the UK, a phone companys programme, allowing communities to take over their phone booth for 1 means that many have been changed into tiny local libraries. Meanwhile , a solar light has been set in a phone booth so that late night visitors can still read.Branches of KnowledgeDidier Mullers libraries operate as hanging libraries: visitors can look through pages, taking any book they choose and exchanging it with their own. The equipment of hanging wooden houses is one of several art projects serving as a booklover s place.Soundproofed PodsAround the world, architects are designing buildings that bend bricks-and-mortar libraries into new forms.

Pastry chefs (面包师) from around the country handed out samples of their very best work. Chef Scott Green, a chocolate sculptor, impressed the attendees at the show. Not only did he bring his work for all to see，but he also made chocolate sculptures right then and there.Green talked to TFK about his job as a chocolate sculptor. He explained that he thinks of himself as an artist who just happens to work with chocolate rather than wood or stone. “I hive been around chocolate so long that it isnt chocolate anymore,” he said. To learn more about the job of a chocolate sculptor, read on.TFK: What was the hardest thing that you have ever carved, and what was it made of?GREEN: In 2020, I did the U.S. Pastry Championship, and I had to carve ft castle out of white chocolate for the competition. I didnt have a lot of experience, and white chocolate is hard to carve. That was the hardest thing I have ever carved.TFK: How long does it take to make an average sculpture?GREEN: For me, it takes a couple of days. Most of that time is getting all the pieces ready. The easiest part is gluing it all together. Chocolate is used for glue. It holds together very well.TFK: How much chocolate do you use per sculpture?GREEN: It depends on the sculpture. For a show piece, I maybe use 20 to 60 pounds of chocolate. You have to be really strong to lift it. I always ask for help.TFK: Is it easier to work with sugar or chocolate?GREEN: They are very different. Generally speaking, it is easier to work with chocolate. Chocolate likes being poured into molds (模具), and it sets at room temperature. Sugar is much more fragile. It is very hot when you work with it and not as easy.24.According to the passage, Chef Scott Green _.A. was good at making chocolateB. made sculptures with stone or woodC. didnt bring his work at the showD. made sculptures at the show25.What does the underlined sentence mean?A.

Tourism.CWhen Boris left school, he could not find a job. He tried hard and pestered (纠缠)his relatives, but they had problems of their own. He answered advertisements until he could not afford to buy any more stamps. Boris grew annoyed, then depressed, then a little hardened. Still he went on trying and still he failed. He began to think that he had no future at all.“Why dont you start your own business?”one of his uncles told him. “The world is a money-locker. Youd better find a way of opening it.”“But what can I do？”“Get out and have a look round,”advised his uncle in a vague sort of way. “See what people want; then give it to them, and they will pay for it.”Boris began to cycle around the town and found a suitable piece of a waste ground in the end. Then he set up his business as a cycle repairer. He worked hard, made friends with his customers and gradually managed to build up his goodwill and profit. A few months later, he found that he had more work than he could deal with by himself. He found a number of empty shops but they were all no good：in the wrong position，too expensive or with some other snag(障碍)But at long last, he managed to find an empty shop on a new estate（土地，地区） where there were plenty of customers but no competition.Boris and his assistant taught themselves how to repair scooters and motorcycles.

Whatever you think about London, visiting as a tourist is very different from living there. Each part of London has its own character. Some parts are richer than others, or more industrial, or have better housing.Lets start with the centre, the “Square Mile”. This is the oldest part of London. In the past, it was where all financial business was done. Not many people live here, but 300,000 people work here every day.Moving west, we come to the West End. This busy shopping and entertainment district is bursting with things to do. Take a walk down Oxford Street, and you will see big department stores like Selfridges and Harrods. Rents here are very high; a one-bedroom apartment may cost around 1,000 pounds a week. Further away is West London. This area is more residential(住宅的)and very fashionable.The East End contains the Port of London, which historically is where many immigrants first arrived. Waves of French, Belgians, Jews, Pakistanis and Bangladeshis have all lived here. This makes the culture of this area very various. London won the bid to hold the Olympics in 2020, so many Londoners hope that housing, education and employment for many people in this area will improve.It is difficult to be general about London. The city is made up of a collection of villages”, each area with its own character and community. Put them all together, and you have London, an international capital.32.Which of the following descriptions about Square Mile is NOT true?A. It is the oldest part of London.B.

Most Londoners are satisfied with their government.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项。How to improve vocabulary fastYour vocabulary refers to the words in a language you are familiar with. We should learn some ways to expand it.Read every day.36. Choose reading material that is slightly above your level and keep a dictionary with you to look up words you do not know.37.If you do not meet with an unfamiliar word in your daily reading, use your dictionary to search for one.Learn the correct definition and pronunciation for each new word. Pronunciation is as important as definition because in order to add a word to your active vocabulary, you must be able to use it in speech.Elaborate (详尽阐述) on the meaning of the word. If you have just learned the word “stubborn”, think about the neighbour who will not lend you his car.38.Use your new word in speech and in writing. E-mail your sister about how your cat is stubborn about sleeping on your pillow. 39.But the more you use it, the more fluent you will become in its use. Soon it will be a regular part of your active vocabulary.Tell everyone you are trying to increase your vocabulary. Encourage them to ask you what your latest word is.40. The more you explain the meaning of a word to someone, the more likely you are to remember it.A. Or let them ask for the definition of a new word you have used.B. The first time you use a new word in speech it may seem strange.C. Your vocabulary contains the words you understand.D. Find a new word every day.E.
