A
Kreuzberg in Berlin, Germany is well-known for foods from various countries. Here are some of the best places to get a taste of the neighborhood.
Fisch-Schmidt
Founded in 1908, this popular fish restaurant is named after its original German founder. When he failed to persuade his son to carry on the business, he handed it over to his superstar 18-year-old Turkish employee, Ayshe. She and her family have run it ever since, and the restaurant still serves traditional German smoked fish and potatoes alongside Turkish-influenced salads.
Little Gourmets
This store is best known for roasted and sweetened nuts and dried fruit. Customers can buy the various sweets here and go to its next-door teashop which offers more than one hundred types of Turkish drinks. The store owners are not at all interested in rushing anyone—they encourage their customers to enjoy every last bite and drink.
Baraka
Baraka is a Moroccan restaurant named after its owner. Baraka's father ran a restaurant in Casablanca in the mid-1970s that was frequented by German business travelers. He thought he could make a killing if he opened a restaurant in Germany, so he did just that when Baraka was a young child. Today people arrive in crowds for the vegetarian soup, and the fresh bread piping hot out of the oven.
Noodle Soup Lady
Noodle Soup Lady is well known for its Thai foods. Its terrific beef noodle soup with thin slices of pork is slightly sweet and sour. Another classic dish at Noodle Soup Lady is a kind of spicy salad which is made just in front of your eyes.
21．What can customers enjoy at Fisch-Schmidt?
A．Thai noodles. B．Moroccan soup.
C．Turkish drinks. D．German smoked fish.

B
In order to learn about advanced scientific technology and ideas for combating desertification, Rezaali Pakzad left the Iranian capital Teheran, in 2018, to study in Northwest China’s Gansu Province.
He is a 27-year-old doctoral student at Lanzhou University, focusing on soil desertification control. In his view, Iran, like other arid and semiarid countries, faces environmental problems such as desertification. When he did field surveys and research in Minqin county, Gansu, he found that the local desertification characteristics were very similar to those of his hometown.
“Minqin is between two deserts. From being “about to disappear” to being gradually green, from being ravaged by “sand devils” to being covered by vast green plants, the scientific and effective prevention and control methods of the Chinese government have greatly changed the county, and made me see the hope of improving the ecology in my hometown,” he says.
He believes that China has certainly contributed to the global effort to combat desertification, and that the Chinese contribution is worth learning from. China has developed advanced technology models, such as quicksand fixation and vegetation restoration, and protective forest systems along major transport routes, which have introduced more green to deserts.
Already among the top nations in the world in the field of combating desertification, China has shared its experience with other countries, carried out international exchanges and cooperation, and contributed to global desertification control, he says.
He believes he has made progress during his five years of living and studying in China. By learning more about the Chinese language and culture, he has adapted to life in China and enjoyed the help and sincere concern of his teachers, classmates and friends here.
He hopes to achieve a lot, at a high level, in his research field and to contribute to international exchanges and cooperation in desertification control. “I want to be an ‘ecological messenger’ by spreading green ideas,” he says.
24．What problem does Pakzad want to solve?
A．Shortage of greens. B．Water pollution.
C．Energy reduction. D．Drought.
25．What does the underlined word “ravaged” mean in paragraph 3?
A．Protected. B．Constructed. C．Destroyed. D．Reduced.
26．Which of the following best describes Rezaali Pakzad?
A．Generous and ambitious. B．Responsible and hopeful.
C．Hard-working and creative. D．Determined and tolerant.
27．What can we know from Paragraph 5?
A．China seldom participates in the global affairs.
B．China has solved the problem of desertification.
C．China is the top nation in international cooperation.
D．China plays a vital role in global desertification control.

C
What will astronauts wear in more than 50 years? A brand-new spacesuit is developing.
Called the Exploration Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EEMU), the spacesuit protects astronauts from the tough environment of the lunar surface, which is quite different from that astronauts have been exploring for the past few decades in low Earth orbit.
Progress on the suit has been overshadowed(使不快乐). “The EEMU represents the first new spacesuit that NASA has developed in over 40 years, George Nield, previously the associate administrator for commercial space transportation at the Federal Aviation Administration, said. “So far, it looks like things are pretty on schedule.”
Nield outlined the agency’s plan to build five EEMU suits in the initial (最初的)group. One for design tests is almost done and should be completed in December. A second will be built for qualification testing and a third will be tested in orbit on the International Space Station. The final two suits of the set will walk on the moon in 2024 on a mission called Artemis 3.
In addition to the main spacesuits, each astronaut will also require an internal cooling garment (衣服), and NASA has now completed the first prototype of that undergarment, according to Nield. And the agency also needs to upgrade the backpack—like Portable Life Support System that astronauts carry to stay alive.
Meanwhile, NASA got a sense of how the new suit will perform on the moon by testing the design underwater. Underwater, astronauts can get a feel for moving around in a spacesuit and using the tools they will operate during a spacewalk. Lately, NASA has been using the pool to study movements like collecting moon rock and dust, navigating a ladder and planting a flag in the lunar surface.
28．Why does the author ask a question at the beginning of the text?
A．To make readers think.
B．To put forward the topic of the text.
C．To seek for some information.
D．To exchange opinions with readers.
29．What is George Nield’s attitude towards progress on EEMU?
A．Satisfied. B．Disappointed. C．Puzzled. D．Shocked.
30．What does the underlined word “prototype” mean in Paragraph 4?
A．Sample. B．Copy. C．Test. D．Design.
31．How did scientists know the performance of the spacesuit on the moon?
A．By testing it in the lab.
B．By learning from other scientists.
C．By testing it underwater.
D．By comparing it with other spacesuits.


D
Traci and Dave Gagnon met in the cloud, so it was only natural that their wedding would be held there as well. The pair—or rather, their digital avatars(替身)——married on Labor Day weekend in a ceremony hosted by Virbela, a firm that creates virtual environments for work, learning, and events.
Ms. Gagnon’s avatar was accompanied by her close friend’s avatar. Mr. Gagnon’s avatar stood there watching as his friend’s avatar walked up to the platform and gave a toast. At the reception,7-year-old twin avatars(the ring bearer and flower girl)danced.
At present, it’s anyone’s guess how the immersive virtual world known as the metaverse(元宇宙), which few of us understand, will change the traditional wedding. However, the prospects of having an event outside of reality’s restrictions are interesting enough for us to think.
Technology has been used in ceremonies more than ever before as a result of COVID-19. There have been Zoom marriages, and some in-person ceremonies now include a broadcast component for those who are unable to attend. Last year, a couple whose wedding was postponed due to COVID-19 held a ceremony within the popular video game Animal Crossing.
It’s worth noting, though, that, like a video game wedding, any weddings that take place only in the metaverse are now illegal.
Experts predict that the metaverse will take these virtual celebrations to new heights, providing couples with nearly limitless choices. “There are no boundaries,” said Sandy Hammer, co-founder of Allseated, a company that develops digital wedding planning tools. Consider guest lists in the tens of thousands. Non-fungible tokens, or NFTs, are used in gift registries. Perhaps even weddings in space as a destination.
“They’re going to take their pals on a space rocket,” Ms. Hammer added, imagining wedding parties digitally travelling around the world. “A bride can send her guests into the metaverse by saying, ‘I want my morning session in Italy, and my evening session in Paris.’”
32．What’s the author’s purpose in describing the ceremony?
A．To make readers better understand the wedding in the cloud.
B．To show how exciting the wedding in the cloud was.
C．To express his concern over the future of traditional weddings.
D．To praise Traci and Dave Gagnon’s daring spirit.
33．How does the author mainly develop paragraph 4?
A．By providing reasons. B．By following the time order.
C．By making comparisons. D．By giving examples.
34．What is Sandy Hammer’s attitude towards the metaverse?
A．Uncaring. B．Opposed. C．Favorable. D．Doubtful.
35．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．Forms of Modern Marriages
B．The Prospects of the Metaverse
C．Getting Married in the Metaverse
D．Holding Events Regardless of Reality

Dear Allen,
I am so delight to know that you want to buy some gifts with Chinese characteristics. I think a Chinese brush will be a good choice.
The Chinese brush is traditional writing and drawing tool, dated back to more than 2,000 years ago. It was one of China’s Four Treasures of the Study, that is made of hairs of animals and bamboo. Writing with a Chinese brush is a little bit of hard, and it is beneficial to shape one’s mind.
In my opinions, the Chinese brush is a perfect gift for my relatives. Hope my recommendation will be helpfully. Wish you a nice journey!
Yours,
Li Hua

He believes that China has certainly contributed to the global effort to combat desertification, and that the Chinese contribution is worth learning from. China has developed advanced technology models, such as quicksand fixation and vegetation restoration, and protective forest systems along major transport routes, which have introduced more green to deserts.
Already among the top nations in the world in the field of combating desertification, China has shared its experience with other countries, carried out international exchanges and cooperation, and contributed to global desertification control, he says.
He believes he has made progress during his five years of living and studying in China. By learning more about the Chinese language and culture, he has adapted to life in China and enjoyed the help and sincere concern of his teachers, classmates and friends here.
He hopes to achieve a lot, at a high level, in his research field and to contribute to international exchanges and cooperation in desertification control. “I want to be an ‘ecological messenger’ by spreading green ideas,” he says.

What will astronauts wear in more than 50 years? A brand-new spacesuit is developing.
Called the Exploration Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EEMU), the spacesuit protects astronauts from the tough environment of the lunar surface, which is quite different from that astronauts have been exploring for the past few decades in low Earth orbit.
Progress on the suit has been overshadowed(使不快乐). “The EEMU represents the first new spacesuit that NASA has developed in over 40 years, George Nield, previously the associate administrator for commercial space transportation at the Federal Aviation Administration, said. “So far, it looks like things are pretty on schedule.”
Nield outlined the agency’s plan to build five EEMU suits in the initial (最初的)group. One for design tests is almost done and should be completed in December. A second will be built for qualification testing and a third will be tested in orbit on the International Space Station. The final two suits of the set will walk on the moon in 2024 on a mission called Artemis 3.
In addition to the main spacesuits, each astronaut will also require an internal cooling garment (衣服), and NASA has now completed the first prototype of that undergarment, according to Nield. And the agency also needs to upgrade the backpack—like Portable Life Support System that astronauts carry to stay alive.
Meanwhile, NASA got a sense of how the new suit will perform on the moon by testing the design underwater. Underwater, astronauts can get a feel for moving around in a spacesuit and using the tools they will operate during a spacewalk. Lately, NASA has been using the pool to study movements like collecting moon rock and dust, navigating a ladder and planting a flag in the lunar surface.
28．Why does the author ask a question at the beginning of the text?

29．What is George Nield’s attitude towards progress on EEMU?
A．Satisfied. B．Disappointed. C．Puzzled. D．Shocked.
30．What does the underlined word “prototype” mean in Paragraph 4?
A．Sample. B．Copy. C．Test. D．Design.
31．How did scientists know the performance of the spacesuit on the moon?
A．By testing it in the lab.

Traci and Dave Gagnon met in the cloud, so it was only natural that their wedding would be held there as well. The pair—or rather, their digital avatars(替身)——married on Labor Day weekend in a ceremony hosted by Virbela, a firm that creates virtual environments for work, learning, and events.
Ms. Gagnon’s avatar was accompanied by her close friend’s avatar. Mr. Gagnon’s avatar stood there watching as his friend’s avatar walked up to the platform and gave a toast. At the reception,7-year-old twin avatars(the ring bearer and flower girl)danced.
At present, it’s anyone’s guess how the immersive virtual world known as the metaverse(元宇宙), which few of us understand, will change the traditional wedding. However, the prospects of having an event outside of reality’s restrictions are interesting enough for us to think.
Technology has been used in ceremonies more than ever before as a result of COVID-19. There have been Zoom marriages, and some in-person ceremonies now include a broadcast component for those who are unable to attend. Last year, a couple whose wedding was postponed due to COVID-19 held a ceremony within the popular video game Animal Crossing.
It’s worth noting, though, that, like a video game wedding, any weddings that take place only in the metaverse are now illegal.
Experts predict that the metaverse will take these virtual celebrations to new heights, providing couples with nearly limitless choices. “There are no boundaries,” said Sandy Hammer, co-founder of Allseated, a company that develops digital wedding planning tools. Consider guest lists in the tens of thousands. Non-fungible tokens, or NFTs, are used in gift registries. Perhaps even weddings in space as a destination.
“They’re going to take their pals on a space rocket,” Ms. Hammer added, imagining wedding parties digitally travelling around the world. “A bride can send her guests into the metaverse by saying, ‘I want my morning session in Italy, and my evening session in Paris.’”
32．What’s the author’s purpose in describing the ceremony?
A．To make readers better understand the wedding in the cloud.
B．To show how exciting the wedding in the cloud was.
C．To express his concern over the future of traditional weddings.
D．To praise Traci and Dave Gagnon’s daring spirit.
33．How does the author mainly develop paragraph 4?
A．By providing reasons. B．By following the time order.
C．By making comparisons. D．By giving examples.
34．What is Sandy Hammer’s attitude towards the metaverse?
A．Uncaring. B．Opposed. C．Favorable. D．Doubtful.
35．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．Forms of Modern Marriages
B．The Prospects of the Metaverse
C．Getting Married in the Metaverse
D．Holding Events Regardless of Reality

Dear Allen,
I am so delight to know that you want to buy some gifts with Chinese characteristics. I think a Chinese brush will be a good choice.
The Chinese brush is traditional writing and drawing tool, dated back to more than 2,000 years ago. It was one of China’s Four Treasures of the Study, that is made of hairs of animals and bamboo. Writing with a Chinese brush is a little bit of hard, and it is beneficial to shape one’s mind.
In my opinions, the Chinese brush is a perfect gift for my relatives. Hope my recommendation will be helpfully. Wish you a nice journey!
Yours,
Li Hua

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The national flag - raising ceremony on the theme of “We’ll Make China Strong” took place in our school on Monday morning.
The moment all the students and teachers gathered on the playground, the ceremony began. As the music played, some students dressed in uniform marched in with the flag. Then we all sang our national anthem as the flag rose slowly. After the flag was raised, one student delivered a speech titled “I will do my part to make China prosperous”.
I was deeply impressed by the activity. As a Chinese, I take great pride in my motherland. Though she suffered a lot in the past, China has been developing rapidly in the last few decades. It is everyone’s responsibility to make China strong and prosperous.
