9、个选项中，选出最佳选项。AHow did the ancient Chinese keep food warm in winter? Facilities like electric rice cookers, microwaves, and electric kettles, make it easy for people to keep food warm and enjoy a comfortable winter. So how did Chinese people in ancient times keep food warm in winter without these? In

10、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 ins

11、tead of using electric energy, the ancient cooking container preserved heart by burning fuels like charcoal(木炭). “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 bot

12、tom 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 BC)“Bronze You”, ancient kettleThe Bronze You was one of t

13、he 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 charcoals could be placed. Just as people today cant do without an electric kettle

14、, 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 produced pollution. As a result, the “Bronze Yan ”was made with a two-tier structure and used to steam

15、 rice and other grains. After the Eastern Han Dynasty (AD 25-AD 220), 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 Warring States Period.C. In the Eastern Han dynasty. D. In the Stone Age.22.The“Bronz

16、e You” , unearthed in Jiangxi province, has an opening to A. place charcoal B. pour water C. store wine D. hold charcoal ashes23.What is the unique advantage of the“Bronze Yan” ?A. It is warm. B. It is convenient. C. It is environment-friendly. D. It is useful.BNothing could stop Dad. After he was p

17、ut on disability for a bad back, he bought a small farm in the country, just enough to grow food for the family. He planted vegetables, fruit trees and even kept bees for honey.And every week he cleaned Old Man McColgins chicken house in exchange for manure (肥料). The smell really burned the inside o

18、f your nose. When we complained about the terrible smell, Dad said the stronger the manure, the healthier the crops, and he was right . For example, just one of his cantaloupes (甜瓜) filled the entire house with its sweet smell and the taste was even sweeter.As the vegetables started coming in, Dad t

19、hrew himself into cooking. One day, armed with a basket of vegetables, he announced he was going to make stew (炖菜). Dad pulled out a pressure cooker and filled it up with cabbages, eggplants,potatoes, corns, onions and carrots. For about half an hour, the pressure built and the vegetables cooked. Fi

20、nally, Dad turned off the stove,and the pot began to cool. If we thought Dads pile of chicken manure was bad, this was 10 times worse. When Dad opened the pot, the smell nearly knocked us out.Dad carried the pot out and we opened doors and windows to air out the house. Just how bad was it? The neigh

21、bour came out of their houses to see if we had a gas leak!Determined, Dad filled our plates with stew and passed them around. It didnt look that bad,and it didnt offend the nose so much, either. I took a taste. It would never win a prize in a cooking competition, but it was surprisingly delicious, a

22、nd we drank up every last drop of soup.24. Why did Dad clean Old Man McColgins chicken house regularly?A. To earn some money for the family. B. To collect manure for his crops.C. To get rid of the terrible smell. D. To set a good example to us.25. What can we infer about Dads stew?A. It is popular a

23、mong the neighbours. B. It contains honey and vegetables.C. It looks very wonderful D. It tastes quite delicious.26. What does the underlined word “offend ”in the last paragraph mean?A. To attract. B.To upset. C. To air. D. To shut27. What can we learn about Dad from the text?A. He is an experienced

24、 cook. B. He is a troublesome father.C. He has a positive attitude to life D. He suffers a lot from his disabilityCThe way we do things round hereSome years ago, I was hired by an American bank. I received a letter from the head of the Personnel Department that started, “Dear John, I am quite please

25、d that you have decided to join us.” That “quite ”saddened me. I thought he was saying “we re kind of pleased you decided to join us although I wish we had hired someone else.”Then I discovered that in American English “quite” sometimes means “very”, while in British English it means “fairly”.So the

26、 first lesson about working in other countries is to learn the language and by that I dont just mean the words people speak. It is body language, dress, manners, ideas and so on. The way people do things highlights many of the differences we see between cultures.Some of these differences may be only

27、 on the surfacedress, food and hours of workwhile others may be deeper and take longer to deal with. Mostly, it is just a question of getting used to the differences and accepting them, like the climate, while getting on with business.Some of the differences may be an improvement. People are more po

28、lite; the service is better; you ask for something to be done and it happens without having to ask again. However, other differences can be troubling, like punctuality. If you invite people to a party at 7 oclock your guests will consider it polite to turn up exactly on time in Germany, five minutes

29、 early in the American Midwest, an hour early in Japan, 15 minutes afterwards in the UK, up to an hour afterwards in Italy and some time in the evening in Greece. I prefer not to use the word “late” because there is nothing wrong with the times people arrive. It is simply the accepted thing to do in

30、 their own country.28. The author was unhappy as mentioned in Paragraph 1 because he thoughtA. the American bank didnt think much of himB. the American bank might hire another personC. its difficult to get used to American cultureD. its easy to misunderstand Americans29. The word “highlights” in Par

31、agraph 2 probably meansA. encourages B. helps to narrow C. increases D. draws attention to30. According to the author, what should we do with most cultural differences?A. Ask the native people for help. B. Understand and accept them.C. Do things in our own way. D. Do in-depth research.31. When invit

63、omote our tradition, we launched an activity at the nursing home last Saturday. On arriving there early in the morning, we gave them our presents and did some cleaning for the elderly. At noon, we made dumplings and cakes with them. After lunch, we spent some fun time together singing, dancing and playing games, which made them very happy. What a day!We all benefit a lot from the activity and hope we can participate in more instructive activities in the future. I wonder if your school organized similar charity activities as well.Yours,Li Hua
