4 . The Victoria Tunnel is a 19th-century waggonway (马车轨道) under Newcastle, stretching from the Town Moor to the River Tyne. It was originally built to transport coal from Leazes Main Colliery to the river. The tunnel became an air-raid shelter to protect thousands of Newcastle citizens during World War II.

As Newcastle’s number one on Tripadvisor in “things to do in Newcastle” for several years in a row, Ouseburn’s Victoria Tunnel is something everyone should experience.

What can you expect during a Victoria Tunnel tour?

Experience life in a Victorian waggonway, and learn how it was built. Be brave-listen to the story of William Coulson’s death and be aware as you hear the approaching waggons heading towards you through the tunnel in the darkness.

Learn how tough life was during World War II; listen for the air-raid warning and the sound of planes passing overhead dropping their bombs, and hear the memories of people who lived through the dreadful period in Newcastle’s history.

During your tour, you’ll also find out which Newcastle landmarks you are walking beneath, including the unique chance to walk underneath Hadrian’s Wall.

6 . Cake moulds are cake pans in fun or functional shapes. You might often see them referred to as cake forms or cake shapes. Cake moulds are especially designed to make it easier to bake a cake.     1    

Generally, a cake mould is often made out of silicone (硅酮).     2     Also, it bends easily, making it easier to remove the cake from the pan without damaging it.

Cake moulds are sold in kitchen supply stores and baking stores.     3     A cake mould might also refer to a cake pan used for a specific purpose, such as a muffin (松饼) pan. They are generally fairly inexpensive and last a long time.

    4     You might buy a cake in the shape of a castle for a princess birthday party, or in the shape of a football for a sports enthusiast. Animal shapes are fun to make, and kids can help. For the holidays, you might make a pine tree-shaped cake, or for graduation, a cake in the shape of a graduation cap.

It can be difficult to remove a cake from a cake mould without damaging it. Even if the pan is non-stick, which most are, you should still grease (抹油) the pan well before baking.     5     When you are ready to remove the cake, place a plate underneath the pan and flip (翻动) it over so the cake can slide out neatly onto the plate.

9 . On an Arctic island, an enormous vault（保险库）has been built deep underground. Like any bank vault, it holds treasures.     1     This vault holds seeds from food crops around the world.

The Svalbard Global Seed Vault is in Norway. It is a seed bank, a place to store and protect seeds. More than 800 thousand different seed samples rest here. All are dried and kept in temperature- and moisture-controlled conditions.     2    

Many nations have their own seed banks, too. One main purpose is to make sure that even if crops fail, there will still be seeds for farmers to plant.

    3     Loss of diversity can cause problems. That was made clear in Ireland in the 1840s. People grew and ate just one kind of potato, which had no defense when a disease struck. The potato crops failed, and one million people died as a result.

Seeds hold information for scientists.     4    They might grow into plants that can resist pests and disease. They might grow where other plants can't. Even the seeds of an invasive plant like kudzu are saved in seed banks. Perhaps scientists will find out their use someday.

A nation commonly has more than one seed bank. Still, a backup plan is a good idea. Floods, fires, war, and other disasters can destroy storehouses of precious seeds.     5    The seeds come from all over the world, and they belong to everyone, not just one nation.

A．But you won't find precious jewels or metals here.

B．That's why the Svalbard Global Seed Vault was created.

C．Another main purpose of seed banks is to protect diversity.

D．The seeds of plants that are no longer farmed may be useful.

E．They will still have seeds to plant, crops to grow, and food to eat.

F．The Svalbard Global Seed Vault is nicknamed the Doomsday Vault.

G．This means the air in the vault stays dry and the temperature is always the same.
