23、ountrysidewas full of inns that would serve food.And there were taverns where one could getdrinks.The rich could also eat special meals prepared by private cooks.But noneof them could be called a“restaurant”.A man called Boulanger changed that.In 1765,he opened a place in Paris thatsold soups(汤).On
24、his sign he used the word restaurant to describe what he wasselling.At that time,soups were considered something that could help restore(恢复)your health-in French the word restore is“restaurer”-so he called thesoups restaurants.Soon,people started buying Boulangers soups even when theywere not ill.An
25、d over time,people began to use the word restaurant to refer toa place selling soup rather than the soup itself.More restaurants opened in France,and people began to buy soups more often.Later,restaurants in Paris began to serve other food besides soup.In the 1790s,menus started to appear.By the mid

30、ontknow is that junk(垃圾)has become a problem in outer space too.According to BBC News,there are more than 22,000 pieces of space junk floatingaround the earth.And these are just the things that we can see from the surface ofthe earth by telescopes(望远镜).There are also millions of smaller pieces of ju
31、nkthat we cant see.Objects,like bits of old space rockets or satellites,move around the planetat very high speeds fast that even a very small piece can break important satellitesor become dangerous to astronauts.If the tiniest piece of junk crashed into aspaceship,it could damage the vehicle.To make
32、 things worse,when two objects in space crash,they break into many smallerpieces.For example,when a U.S.satellite hit an old Russian rocket in 2009,it brokeinto more than 2,000 pieces,increasing the amount of space junk.To reduce additional space junk,countries have agreed that all new space toolsca
33、n only stay in space for 25 years at most.Each tool must be built to fall safelyinto the earths atmosphere after that time.In the upper parts of the atmosphere,it will burn up.Many scientists also suggesting different ways to clean up space junk.In Englandscientists are testing a metal net that can

153、arathon.People race against horses across the hills and mountains.It started in 1981,but a human did not win until 2004.Camel WrestlingIn Turkey,camel（骆驼）wrestling is a very old sport.The largest camel wrestlingcompetition takes place every year and thousands of people come.In the sport,twocamels fi

159、.3.D.4.（D）What will astronauts（宇航员）eat when a space trip takes years?“Lots of fresh vegetables,”says Dr.Janet Williams,whose team have spent thelast 10 years learning how to grow plants in a space station.And its a good thingthat she has already started her work,because space gardening can be really
160、 hard.As usual,astronaut George White looked into the closed plant room.He had plantedDr.Williamssquick-growing seedlings in it,but none of the stems were showing.He opened the roomto check and found the problem.The stems werent growing upward and the roots werentgrowing downward.On Earth,gravity（重力
161、）helps a plants stems and roots to find“up”and“down”.However,in the space station,there was almost no gravity.Dr.Williams suggested a solution:give the plants more light,as plants alsouse sunlight to find their way.And it worked.When the plants had more light,thestems turned up and the roots went do
162、wn.Now Dr.Williams was free to worry about the next problem:Would her baby plantslive to flower?Can we grow food on a space journey?Many plants died in the space station.Dr.Williams thought she knew why:thespace plants were hungry for air.Plants live by taking up CO2 from the air.Sincea plant uses i
163、t up in the air around,the plant needs moving air to bring more CO2close to its surface!On Earth,the air is always moving.Gravity pulls down coldair,and warm air rises.And with these air movements,plants get enough CO2.Many earlier experiments with plants in space had used closed rooms.Dr.Williamstr
164、ied a new greenhouse that had a fan to keep the air move.The plants loved it.Theyflowered and even produced more seeds.Using Dr.Williamss method,astronaut Georgecompleted the first seed-to-seed experiment in space,and moved one plant closer toa garden in space.“And this,”says Dr.Williams,“is good ne
165、ws for long-term space travel.”41.Why have Dr.Williamss team tried to grow plants in space?A.To produce fresh air for astronauts.B.To help astronauts relax themselves.C.To provide food for long space journeys.D.To make the space garden more beautiful.42.How did light help solve the problem mentioned
166、 in Paragraph 3?A.It caused the gravity to change.B.It encouraged the plants to grow faster.C.It helped the plants to grow in the right direction.D.It showed the astronauts where to plant vegetables.43.Why did many plants die in the space station?A.The light was too strong.B.There was too much CO2.C
167、.There was not enough room to grow.D.The air condition was not good enough.44.The underlined word“it”in Paragraph 7 refers to_.A.the moving airB.the closed roomC.the space journeyD.the space garden45.What can we learn about Dr.Williamss team from the passage?A.They mainly live on fresh vegetables.B.

170、 most important way to passalong information.Anything a culture wanted to protect 一 its beliefs,its history,and its traditionshad to be told out loud.Each generation would tell the cultures stories to the next.47Knowledge passed on in this method is called thespoken tradition.Even cultures that know
171、 how to write still pass along someinformation in this way.48In other cultures only special storytellers were trusted to do thisimportant job.A cultures best storytellers had good memories.They could also makethe stories very interesting,so people would listen and remember them.Sometimespeople would
172、 sing the stories or tell them in the form of poems.49However,stories told aloud change over time as different people tell them.Astoryteller might change a story in order to make it better.Or a teller may simplynot remember all the details of a story.Unlike written stories,the spoken traditionis not
173、 created by any one person.50Sometimes the stories are collected andwritten down long after they have been created.A.In this way the stories were passed along.B.In some cultures everyone would pass along the stories.C.Songs and poems can both make stories easier to remember.D.Instead,a whole culture

206、the whalessongs.SoRoger I made the recordings into an album.Al the time when the album came out,whaleswere often caught,killed and traded for money.Some kinds were even in danger ofdying out.Most people hadnever thought that whales could communicate through songs.But after hearing the album,they beg
207、an to think differently.The album led people to take action to save whales.Musicians began using whalesongs in their music,and whales were included in movies and television shows.In1982,a ban to stop deep-sea whaling was made.Before it,in the 1950s and 1960s,more than fifty thousand whales per year

218、at is to avoid the task.You can procrastinate on nearly anything,even enjoyabletasks such as planning a vacation.“Some people procrastinate cleaning.Some peopleprocrastinate by cleaning,”says Professor Peter Stone.Research has shown that thetop tasks young people procrastinate are studying and going
219、 to bed.”One big causefor procrastination is that people are afraid of failure,of not meeting othersexpectations,”Stone adds.Some people believe that procrastination will make them thrive.But researchersdisagree.“I did a study several years ago,asking procrastinators to finish a taskin a certain per
220、iod of time,”says Stone.“They did worse than non-procrastinators:they made more mistakes and they took longer.But they thought they did better.”No matter what the cause is,procrastination is usually not going to be good for you.For example,bedtime procrastination can lead to sleeplessness,which in t
221、urn cancause many other health problems.For those who need some drives to stop procrastinating,the best advice mightbe to take action first.If youve been procrastinating on forming a habit of exercise,just put on your walking shoes.A little bit of progress will get you moving.Next,find something to
222、help you remember to take action.If you want to go tobed at 10:30 pm,you might set a timed dimmer switch(渐暗开关)at 10 pm.When thelights are dimmer,youll start going to bed.It works for most people.Finally,reward yourself every time you make progress.For example,after youve run 3 km,enjoy your favourit

249、mportant thing of our growth is to makedecisions to help our friends and learn to support each other.This requires us tolearn what it means to help friends and how to help them in right ways.The first step toward helping others is to identify that they need help.We allknow that difficulties are part
250、 of our daily lives.However,sometimes small thingscan lead to more serious problems that require more help.Its important to makesure when to help a friend.For example,you may pick up some signs that your friendsare not acting like themselves.These signs show they may not be well.The next step toward
251、 helping others is to listen.Paying attention to others whilelistening is very important throughout our life.When we communicate with others,we need to learn when to speak and when not to.As listeners,we should try tounderstand what the speakers are feeling or experiencing and try to see things from
