阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
China is famus fr its varius ht pts, but the Japanese als lve this delicius cuisine, where ht pts are knwn as nabemn. Here're fur tasty versins wrth eating.
ShabuShabu
Many types f ht pts exist, but ne f the mst ppular in Japan is called ShabuShabu. Featuring thinly sliced cuts f meats, fish and vegetables, the dish, whse name imitates the sund “swish swish” as the fd is cked in the biling pt, is said t have been created in Osaka in the 1950s. The fd is typically dipped in a sauce with a citrus(柑橘) flavr.
Chanknabe
Since the late 1800s, Chanknabe has been served t sum(相扑) wrestlers lking t gain weight. Interestingly, there is n fixed recipe fr this style f ht pt. In ther wrds, any type f meat and vegetables can be thrwn in. It's served in large prtins, ften with ther fd such as fried chicken s that sum wrestlers can keep their significant bdy weight.
MilleFeuille Nabe
A less fattening Japanese ht pt that has an attractive visual element is MilleFeuille Nabe. Made with mstly prk and cabbage, it's easy t prepare since this ht pt requires fewer ingredients(原料) than ther kinds f nabemn. The remaining sup can als be enjyed with steamed rice r ndles.
Yaminabe
Yaminabe is a dining experience like n ther. Everyne brings their wn ingredients t add t the pt, but with their eyes cvered, they dn't knw what else is being added. Therefre, n ne knws exactly what they're picking ut f the pt. Sunds like the ultimate surprise, desn't it?
That's nly the tip f the iceberg when it cmes t nabemn. These ht pts are just the start f a wnderfully delicius nabemn jurney!
( )21. Where des ShabuShabu get its name frm?
A. The taste f the meat as it's eaten. B. The twn called Osaka in the 1950s.
C. The sund f fd biling in the pt. D. The flavr cming frm a citrus sauce.

The gvernment f India has annunced that it will replace the singleuse plastic cups used fr tea in 7,000 train statins arund the cuntry with traditinal clay cups called kulhads. This will reduce the amunt f waste thrwn away every day, thus helping further the gvernment's gal f making India free frm singleuse plastics, and it will prvide muchneeded emplyment fr tw millin ptters.
Jaya Jaitly, a plitician and handicrafts expert, has advcated since the early 1990s fr clay cups t be reintrduced in train statins. She explained that emplying ptters t prvide these cups was a way t supprt them at a time when they lst jbs due t “new Internet technlgy”.
It is reprted that a ptter's average mnthly incme will increase frm $34 t $135 a mnth. The gvernment is distributing electric wheels t thse wh d nt have them and funding a switch frm wdfueled t gasfueled kilns(窑炉) in villages that already have gas devices fr cking. Jaitly said this wuld reduce smke pllutin.
She als said that ne reasn why earlier effrts t reintrduce kulhads failed was that the gvernment was unwilling t accept nnstandardized sizes and shapes f cups. This time they will have t accept it because the handmade pieces cannt pssibly be the same, particularly with prductin being s scattered(分散). Variatin in appearance is a small price t pay fr the envirnmental benefits.
This is happy, hpeful news frm India, a cuntry that has lng struggled t deal with plastic waste, partly because f its huge ppulatin and inadequate waste prcessing infrastructure acrss vast rural regins. This plicy is an excellent example f getting at the rt cause f a prblem and fixing it, rather than just trying t clean up the mess afterward. T use the bathtub metaphr(比喻) that's cmmnly cited when talking abut plastic pllutin, this is like turning ff the plasticprducing tap, instead f wasting time trying t mp up the verflw, wishing it wuld g away.
( )24. What is special abut the plicy annunced by Indian gvernment?
A. It prmtes awareness f traffic issues.
B. It cllects enugh revenue t fight pverty.
C. It prmises t be ecfriendly and favrable.
D. It rids India f the lngterm unemplyment.
( )25. What can we learn frm Paragraph 2?
A. Jaya Jaitly is a shrtsighted plitician and ecnmist.
B. Advances in Internet technlgy cst ptters their jbs.
C. Clay cups were first intrduced in Indian railway statins.
D. Ptters were emplyed at statins t get financial supprt.
( )26. What effrt des the gvernment make fr the ptters?
A. It raises their mnthly incme.
B. It ffers new cking devices t them.
C. It standardizes the size f clay cups fr them.
D. It prvides funds fr them t upgrade their devices.
( )27. Which f the fllwing is similar t the bathtub metaphr?
A. Put the cart befre the hrse. B. Treat the ft when the ft hurts.
C. Stp the biling by taking ff the fire. D. Kill the gse that lays the glden eggs.

Fr years I hadn't knwn much abut gardening. I grew up in the cuntryside but gt hked n music and drawing and put a great deal f effrt int bks. As a teenager, the fields beynd my hme became a green barrier t the big city I s lnged t be part f. I was always full f life, free frm wrries.
Breaking up with Jsh changed everything. I felt s lst and alne. Yet I didn't turn t gardening fr recvery straight away. That summer I went t a dzen festivals, danced my way thrugh sleepless weekends and relied n kind friends. But nne f them wrked fr lng.
Then ne day I walked t the balcny, seeing sunflwers blming brightly in the wind. They made me realize that plants always carried n. “Hw small my heartbreak is in the grand scheme f things,” I said t myself. I had n idea where I'd end up living, but I culd rely n thse cycles f grwth, decay(衰退) and renewal. There was smething enrmusly cmfrting in that.
Gradually, the need fr green space became a habit that changed my life. When I was staying with friends, I'd hunt ut parks. Within a cuple f mnths, I'd signed up as a vlunteer at a lcal cmmunity garden and wuld get there early n Sunday mrnings, as if it were my__wn__kind__f__church.
It's nt surprising that being utdrs and surrunding myself with nature helped me thrugh this difficult time. Studies by the Ryal Cllege f Physicians have fund that gardening can lwer bld pressure, relieve anxiety and depressin, bst md, and burn calries.
Fifteen mnths later, I fund a new hme, nestled in a patch f suth Lndn wdland. I have 30 huseplants in ttal and my balcny blms all year arund, s it feels like bth an asis(绿洲) and smewhere t think.
Life is still smetimes frustrating. Difficult things still happen. But these days I knw hw t treat myself: I make sure I g utside, breathe in, lk at what's grwing, and I always feel better.

A. praying t Gd in the church
B. the need fr green space in life
C. hunting ut as many parks as pssible
D. the vluntary wrk in the cmmunity garden

It ges withut saying that many Western wedding custms are cmpletely different frm thse f Asian cultures. Sme are s rted in histry that many Westerners have n idea whether they even exist.
Traditinally, June has been the mst ppular mnth fr peple t get married. One reasn is that June 1 was the date f an ancient Rman festival celebrating the marriage f the gd Jupiter and his wife Jun. Anther reasn will likely astnish yu. Centuries ag, taking a bath was nt as cmmn as it is tday. Sme peple tk a bath nly nce a year, typically in May. Since June was a time mst wedding guests wuld nt be t smelly, that mnth was preferred.
Anther wedding custm is fr the bride t “wear smething ld, smething new, smething brrwed, and smething blue”. Having smething ld is said t prtect the newlyweds' future baby, while the new item shws ptimism fr the future. Meanwhile, smething brrwed is meant t bring gd luck, and smething blue is a prmise f being faithful. Lesser knwn is the fact that the bride is als suppsed t have a sixpence in her she fr prsperity(兴旺). Interestingly, in Sweden, brides are given tw cins befre getting married—ne gld frm her mther and the ther silver frm her father—als t put in her shes. These fascinating custms shw just hw imprtant certain wedding traditins are in Western cultures.
The cncept f the “white wedding”,in which the bride wears a white wedding dress, is a familiar ne. It is thught, mistakenly thugh, that this is a traditin that develped in ancient times and riginates frm the belief f white being a symbl f purity. Actually, the custm f brides wearing this clr dates back less than 200 years and is attributed t the wedding f Queen Victria. The queen's chice f white fr her wedding was unusual fr the time as ther clrs, especially red, were much mre cmmn.
After news f Victria's highly publicized wedding t Prince Albert spread, nt just arund the United Kingdm, but t ther natins including the United States, wmen began fllwing in her ftsteps and wearing white dresses at their wedding ceremnies. With white being the chice f a pwerful ryal figure like Queen Victria, the clr became assciated with wealth, nbility, and the fashincnscius.
( )32. Based n the text, June has been a ppular mnth t get married prbably because ________.
A. Queen Victria married Prince Albert in June f 1840
B. June is the mnth in which Rmans recall the sul f gds

D. it is cnsidered t be the luckiest time f year t get married
( )33. Which f the fllwing wedding custms is said t prtect an unbrn child?
A. Wearing smething ld. B. Wearing smething blue.

( )34. What can we learn frm the “white wedding” mentined in the passage?
A. The white wedding dress is a symbl f purity and nbility.
B. Red rather than white was nce ppular in English weddings.
C. Queen Victria wre white in the hpe f breaking ld custms.

The first time we set eyes n the beautiful dress “Big Red”, father, mther and I were walking slwly thrugh the freshly fallen snw n ur way t Hubble's Hardware stre n Main Street.
The clrfully decrated windw display held the best tys ever and sme ther things. And they were all placed pleasantly beneath the breathtaking dress f Big Red. Mther's eyes were glued t the massive flame f red satin(绸缎), dtted with twinkling stars.
“My gdness,” she managed t say in dreamlike wnder. “Wuld yu just lk at that dress!” Then, ttally ut f character, mther unexpectedly danced n the slippery sidewalk. Beneath the heavy, grey wl cat that she had wrn every winter fr as lng as I culd remember, mther lst her balance and fell clumsily. Father quickly caught her.
Her cheeks redder than usual, mther blamed dad fr laughing. “Oh, stp that!” she rdered, as my father swept the snw frm her cat. “What a silly dress t be displayed there in the windw f Eatn's!” she shk her head in disbelief. “Wh n earth wuld want such a brightlyclred dress? It is t expensive.” As we cntinued t walk dwn the street, mther turned back fr ne mre lk. “My gdness! Yu'd think they'd display smething that a persn culd use!”
Christmas was arund the crner and the red dress was sn frgtten. Mther was nt the ne t wish fr, r spend mney n, things that were nt practical. “There are things we need mre than this,” she'd always say, r, “There are things we need mre than that.”
Father, n the ther hand, liked t buy things whenever the budget allwed. Of curse, he'd get a sclding fr his ccasinal spending like this, but it was all dne with the best intentin.
On ur last trip t twn befre Christmas, we were driving up Main Street when mther suddenly exclaimed in surprise, “Wuld yu just lk at that!” She pinted excitedly as Dad drve past Eatn's. “That big red dress is gne,” she said in disbelief. “It's actually gne.”
