CAN YOU COOK?
This teenager can—and his mum’s very happy with him.
Tom is like any other teenager. He goes to school, does his homework, meets his friends and enjoys doing sports.
But between 5: 30 and 6: 30 from Monday to Friday, Tom does something different. He cooks dinner for all the family: mum, dad, younger brother Joe and older sister Emma.
“I think it’s important for teenagers to learn how to cook. Maths and English are important, of course, but they need other skills too to help them in today’s world. First I taught Tom how to cook easy meals like pizza or egg and chips. Then he started using recipes in my cookery books. Yesterday he made vegetable soup. It was very good!” Tom’s mum said.
“I love cooking and I think I’m really good at it. None of my friends can cook. I don’t know why. It isn’t difficult and it’s great fun!” Tom said.
In the past, Tom didn’t help out at home and his mum wasn’t very happy with him. Today, things are different and she is very happy.
21. How many people are there in Tom’s family in total?A.Three. | B.Four. | C.Five. | D.Six. |
A.调料 | B.食谱 | C.原料 | D.食材 |
A.Tom cooks dinner for the whole family twice a week. |
B.Tom’s mum is happy because Tom helps to cook at home. |
C.Tom learnt how to cook on his own because of his interest. |
D.Tom’s friends can also cook because they think it’s difficult but fun. |
Whether it be a person, an animal, or even an insect, a mother’s instincts (本能) are never wrong. This idea rings true for a mother cat who acted fast and sought out help when her kittens were in trouble. This mother cat’s quick thinking may have just saved her babies.
In the urban district of Izmir in western Turkey, a cat walked into a regular hospital holding a kitten in her mouth. As the mother cat moved through the hospital, people were surprised to see such a sight, but let her pass. The mother cat asked for help, crying for a long time. She was familiar to the hospital staff, who had been leaving her food and water outside, but they didn’t realize that she had given birth to kittens.
The mother cat was worried about her young because they weren’t able to open their eyes. After the doctors looked at the kittens, they noticed that they were suffering from eye infections. One of the doctors recalls, “We contacted vets and gave medicine as described. When the kittens opened their eyes a short time later, we were excited.” Later, they were sent to an animal hospital for further care. The cats are now up for adoption and will hopefully find loving forever homes.
When it comes to mother cats and kittens, kittens completely depend on mothers for the first few months of their lives. Because they are blind and almost deaf until about two or three weeks old, the mother cat must protect them from any possible danger. Without the mother cat’s help, the kittens may not survive.
As shown by the mother cat in Turkey, a mother’s love and protection knows no bounds. Whether the mom is a human or a cat, mothers will always look out for their babies and make sure they are safe and healthy.
24. Why did the mother cat show up in the hospital?A.To show her thanks. | B.To search for food. |
C.To save her babies. | D.To give birth to babies. |
a. The kittens were sent to the animal hospital.
b. The cat went to the hospital with one of its kittens.
c. The doctor gave medicine to the kittens after asking the vets.
d. The cat cried for help for a long time in the hospital to ask for help.
A.cabd | B.bdca | C.dbca | D.bcda |
A.A cat has nine lives | B.Any help means a lot |
C.Mother cat is so brave | D.Mother’s love is boundless |
This summer, the temperatures were very high in Europe. Firefighters fought against hundreds of wildfires in many European countries. And hundreds of people died because of the heat wave.
However, according to a survey, only about 20% of homes in Europe have air conditioners (空调), compared to 90% in the US. Why is that?
First, usually it isn’t very hot in Europe in summer because of its location. Europe is located farther north than the US, making the weather cooler. The average July high in London is 24℃, which is 10 degrees cooler than the average July high in New York.
Second, there are many old houses in Europe. More than half of the houses in Europe were built in the last century. The weather then was not as hot as it is nowadays. Naturally, air conditioners were unnecessary. What’s more, those old houses’ structure and material make it harder and more expensive to install (安装) air conditioners. Installing an air conditioner could cost more than the air conditioner itself.
As for other reasons, they can be very personal. Some people think air conditioners make them sick, so they don’t accept air conditioners. Some think using air conditioners produces much greenhouse gas. It is bad for the environment and makes the weather even hotter!
______ With higher and higher temperatures, more and more Europeans are considering installing air conditioners these days.
27. According to this passage, if there are about 8.9 million people living in London, then how many people may live in homes with air conditioners?A.593,000. | B.1,780,000. | C.2,670,000. | D.8,010,000. |
A.It isn’t so hot because of its location. |
B.Many houses were built a long time ago. |
C.The air conditioners in Europe are too expensive. |
D.Some people there just don’t like air conditioners for different reasons! |
A.Many houses in Europe were built in the 20th century. |
B.The weather in the 20th century is hotter than that in the 21st century. |
C.The air conditioner may not be as expensive as the cost of installing it in an old house. |
D.It is hard to put in air conditioners in an old house because of its structure and material. |
A.Europeans are just fine with the heat in summer. |
B.But things will probably change in the coming years. |
C.Because of all these reasons above, Europeans may just have to stand the heat all along. |
D.No matter how hot it gets, Europeans have their ways to get through without air conditions. |
Gever Tulley is a computer scientist from California. In 2005, he started a summer programme for children called Tinkering School. The idea was that children can learn important skills for life by building things together. Gever Tulley and his team help the children to think big and create plans for new things they want to build. Children have made fantastic things since the school started. They have built a rollercoaster. They have made a rope bridge from plastic shopping bags. They have made tree houses, wooden motorbikes and boats.
At Tinkering School, children get all kinds of materials like wood, metal, plastic, nails and ropes. They get lots of real tools too, such as knives, hammers, screwdrivers and power drills. Some children have cut themselves when using a knife, or hurt their fingers when using a hammer. Tinkering School has been around for many years now, but nobody has ever had a serious injury in all those years. This is because there are strict health and safety rules they must follow. The children always learn how to use the tools safely and they must wear the right clothing and protection at all times.
Gever Tulley’s ideas have worked very well. A lot of children have gone to his summer schools over the years. In 2011, Gever Tulley decided to create a “real” school, called Brightworks, in San Francisco. The school is very small—it only has 20 students aged 6 to 13. Brightworks is based on the same principles (理念) as Tinkering School.
Since it started, Brightworks has been written about a lot. Most of those articles have been very positive. They have praised (表扬) the quality of the school. They have found the children are more active than at many other schools. But there have also been critical (批评的) voices. Some people have said that children are not learning enough at Brightworks. They feel that students and teachers are just “playing around” all the time.
The students at Brightworks seem to love their school. We spoke to 12-year-old Tina Cooper. She has been a student at the school since last October. “Since I started here, I’ve never sat in a ‘normal’ class with a teacher.” she told us. “But it’s been a very exciting experience. I’ve worked hard at my new school for eight months now, and there hasn’t been one single moment when I found it boring. Before, I was bored quite often.”
31. Which is the best description of Tinkering School?A.A school where children are taught different subjects by different teachers. |
B.A school where children learn important life skills by building things together. |
C.A factory where children get interested in building things by working together. |
D.A factory where children learn about how to use the tools safely by following rules. |
A.The school isn’t safe for kids at all. |
B.Children have never hurt themselves badly. |
C.Children have never had an accident or injury. |
D.No safety information has been mentioned there. |
A.Children also need to follow strict school rules like wearing uniforms. |
B.All children will learn to build rollercoasters, rope bridges and boats here. |
C.Children can plan to make things and learn much by doing things in teams. |
D.Most articles say that children are more serious here than at many other schools. |
A.It changes her ideas about school life. | B.It makes her feel bored from time to time. |
C.It makes her love San Francisco even more. | D.It seems as normal as her school life before. |
A.Teamwork is important in our work | B.We should be careful when using tools |
