21、Visiting your local library is the best way to celebrate the National Reading Month. Some libraries use unique architecture to encourage visitors to settle down with a new book. Here are four unusual libraries around the world.

●Stuttgart City Library, Stuttgart, Germany

Opened in 2011, this nine-story public library is characterized by its amazing color design, its cubic shape and its cave-like inside. This cultural center for the city, designed to feel open and full of light, can be entered from any of its four sides, and people can borrow artworks as well as books.

●Biblioteca Sandro Penna, Perugia, Italy

In a country known for classical architecture and historical buildings, Biblioteca Sandro Penna stands out because of its modern beauty. Housing books and multimedia, this library was built in 2004, and was named after a local poet. It is easily recognized for its round pink glass top.

●Seikei University Library, Tokyo, Japan

Libraries are usually known for their quiet atmosphere, but this one encourages conversation. Shigeru Ban, who won Pritzker Prize, designed the library with a good sound-insulating(隔音的) effect to respect those who need uninterrupted study. It serves as a good spot for study groups and lively discussions.

●Beach Library, Albena, Bulgaria

22、Culture often refers to things like food, holidays, clothing, and music, but it also goes much deeper than that. 【1】 So when we meet people from different backgrounds, we can sometimes find that there are big differences in how we see the world, even if we speak the same language.     

One of the best ways to understand others’ cultures is to first examine your own. Do you take your shoes off when you go inside? 【2】 In Japan, you would never go inside without swapping your outdoor shoes for slippers, whereas in the US, many people don’t bother taking their shoes off when they come in. Therefore, it’s so important to understand your place in the world, which will help you understand other people better too.

【3】 When you meet people from a different culture, you can politely ask them about their lives. Seek out books or watch movies by and about people who’re different from you. Additionally, you can immerse (沉浸)yourself in a different culture through travel to understand how different other lifestyles can be.

However, sometimes, learning a lot about a different culture can lead you into a trap. You may think you know much about a culture, which may lead you to show off your knowledge when you meet someone from that background. But it’s a problem to assume that everyone from one particular culture has the same attitudes and experiences. Your assumptions that lead you to pre-judge against others can be harmful. 【4】

Differences between us are what make life so interesting. So accept the differences between yourself and your friends from different cultures. 【5】 In detail, ask questions if your friends are open to it, but also learn how to just silently observe and appreciate the differences that make us unique.

A．It is a simple thing, but it’s a huge marker of culture!

B．Learning is another great way to understand different cultures.

C．Behaviors, customs, beliefs, and values are also part of your culture.

D．To achieve it, do strike a balance between curiosity and appreciation.

E．So don’t do it to others even if you understand their culture really well.

F．The more you learn, the more used you get to respecting cultural differences.

G．Wherever you live, there are probably immigrant communities (侨民团体)with their own customs.

23、Do you ever listen to the songs that your parents like? Chances are that you don’t. You probably think the music that they like is old and boring and that the songs on your playlist are much cooler. But scientists found that people’s music taste changes as time goes by. So it is likely that your own musical preferences will follow a similar path to your parents’, whether you like it or not.

We used to think that culture and personality (个性) are the only reasons for different music choices. But researchers at the University of Cambridge noticed that as people enter into different age groups, their social environment changes, and so does their music taste. There are some musical periods that people go through in their life.

The first period comes in the teenage years, during which people like strong music such as punk and rock, because teenagers tend to be aggressive or want to be independent.

But as people move into early adulthood, their lifestyles change they want to build close relationships with others. As a result, they become fonder of contemporary music, such as pop and R&.B, which is usually uplifting and danceable.

When middle age comes, most people have settled down. During this period, people prefer music, such as jazz and classical, as well as music like country, folk and blues.

As for old people, they prefer old songs in their childhoods. They generally listen to relaxing music, such as country music and jazz music. But you must be questioning. “Aren’t there old people who are still interested in or even crazy about rock music?” Of course there are. But their reasons for listening to rock music may have changed. At that age people may listen to remind themselves of their youth.

【1】What do young people usually think of the songs their parents enjoy?

A．They are worth listening to.

B．They are actually less cool.

C．They are especially serious.

D．They are hard to understand.

【2】How many musical periods are there that people go through in their life?

A．Two.

B．Three.

C．Four.

D．Five.

【3】What kind of music do teenagers prefer ________.

A．punk music

B．country music

C．jazz music

D．pop music

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．People Have Different Opinions on Music

B．People’s Taste in Music Changes with Time

C．People Listen to Music for the Same Reason

D．People’s Lifestyle Can Be Changed by Music

24、About 97% of the world’s water is salty and is found in our oceans and seas. But, as we can’t drink sea water, how can it be important?

Every part of our seas and oceans contains an amazing number of animals and fish that live at different ocean depths. Most of the different species of animals and fish depend on simple plants for their food. These simple plants called algae (海藻) drift near the surface of the ocean and use sunlight to turn carbon dioxide and water into food and oxygen. In fact, algae produce over half of the oxygen people breathe. How important sea water is !

Each plant or animal in our seas and oceans is an important link in a food chain. The algae are eaten in large amounts by microscopic animals, which are in turn consumed by larger animals. These food chains are delicately (微妙地) balanced.

The bad news about the food chains in the oceans is that they are under threat because of man. People once thought that the oceans were so big that it didn’t matter if we dumped rubbish into them or caught huge quantities of fish and whales for food. But we now know this is not true and fish stocks in the oceans have started to drop.

Thankfully, the world is taking steps to protect the future of our oceans by introducing international agreements to protect marine habitats. Most countries have introduced fishing restrictions (限制) to protect fish stocks in the oceans and new techniques are being pioneered to cope with pollution. Finally, the importance of protecting oceans is being made known to more people. This is just the beginning of a long process to protect the oceans for our future. We depend on the oceans for fish which are an important part of the human diet. How important sea water is!

【1】People used to think that the rubbish thrown into the sea _________.

A．wouldn’t harm the fish in the sea

B．wouldn’t change the balance of the food

C．wouldn’t be broken down in the sea

D．wouldn’t do much harm to the sea

【2】From the passage, we learn that _________.

A．most fish and sea animals live at the surface of the seas

B．it is very difficult to break the balance of a food chain

C．over fishing has caused the decrease in fish stock

D．it won't be long before the problems concerning oceans will be solved

【3】Which of the following is NOT a way being used to protect oceans?

A．The use of international agreements

B．Forbidding fishing to protect fish stocks

C．The use of new techniques

D．Raising people’s awareness of the need to protect oceans

25、   On Friday afternoon Class Seven had an Art lesson. It was their favourite lesson of the week. Everyone ______ Trudy Hubble looked forward to it. Trudy had arms that stuck out and always knocked things over.

When Trudy came into the classroom, Rob Mason said, “Look out, here comes Trouble!” All the kids ______. Trudy had to smile and pretended she didn’t mind. How she wished she could be more like Lisa Gibbs, who had small hands and feet and never ______ things over!

That day, they were going to paint animals. Again, Trudy knocked over the jam jar. Dirty water spread in a pool across the table and ______ Lisa’s dragon. Every time Trudy tried to do Art, it was always a ______.

“I hate Art,” Trudy thought as she went home on the bus, wishing never to go to school again.

As soon as she got home, Mum asked her to take a ______ to Mrs. Willow.

Trudy knocked on the door and the door opened. There stood an old lady, so tall and elegant, like her house, which was full of ______ china.

“My mum’s your home help. She won’t be able to come tomorrow. She’s got a cold.”

“I’m sorry to hear that. What she needs is my special cold ______. Come inside and I’ll give you some. ” Mrs. Willow opened the door wider.

Keeping her arms pressed to her sides, Trudy stood ______, much like a statue, afraid to move in.

“Why?”

“I am the clumsiest person in our school! I know something will get broken when I’m ______.”

“I used to be clumsy too, a real ugly little duck,” Mrs. Willow smiled. “But I grew up to be a swan(白天鹅).”

“But I don't think I shall,” Trudy doubted. “I’ll just grow up to be an ugly ______.”

“Not if you do as I did. You have to keep telling yourself that inside, where it matters, you’re really a swan.”

“I’m a swan,” Trudy ______ her throat and took the medicine, heading for home.

Next morning Mum’s cold was much better. “If Mrs. Willow’s cold cure is a kind of ______, then her swan cure must work as well.” Trudy couldn’t wait to try it out.

In the school playground some children stood looking up into the chestnut tree. Lisa was in tears.

“What’s the matter?” asked Trudy.

“It’s my kite,” Lisa said, wiping her eyes. “Rob let go and it’s got ______ up the tree.”

“I’ll get it down for you,” Trudy said kindly.

“No, you’ll tear it!” Lisa looked ______. “It’s a special Chinese kite! I got it for my birthday.”

For a moment Trudy felt like her old ______ self. But then she remembered what Mrs. Willow had said. It didn't matter how she looked outside. Inside, she was really a swan.

She jumped up and grabbed the lowest ______ and began to climb. “Swans never rush,” she told herself. It took her ages, but she didn't rush. At last she managed to ______ the kite. But now she had to climb down again using only one hand. Very, very ______ she swung herself down to the ground. The kite was safe!

“Thanks, Trudy.” Lisa showed it to the others. “Look, it’s all right!”
