21、You may never think a documentary film could have aroused so much public enthusiasm in Chinese history. Nowadays everybody is talking about a new 7-part documentary called A Bite of China which was recently broadcast late at night on CCTV I. The documentary describes various gourmet items across the vast Chinese culinary landscape.
According to Taobao, China’s biggest online retail website, just five days after the series began to air, nearly 6 million people went to the site in search of various local specialties, particularly those mentioned in the documentary. More than 7.2 million deals were concluded. A ham producer from Yunnan Province saw his sales grow 17-fold in five days.
However, one can’t help but believe that the documentary’s popularity is probably linked to the endless stream of terrible food security issues that have emerged in recent years. In one well-received article, a netizen wrote, “I wonder how many felt so empty-hearted and sighed after watching the film. Blue-vitriol watered chive, formaldehyde sprayed cabbage, Sudan Red colored salty eggs, restaurants using gutter oil. The list is long…”
How will a varied and ancient food culture that is famous worldwide and which should have made the Chinese proud end? Food is the most vital thing in people’s lives. Yet China’s food industry has made people a little worried due to some severe food safety crisis. The market is huge while the cost of faking and cheating is so low for immoral businessmen; and the punishment is too light. Take the milk industry as an example. Although Sanlu, the company that sold the melamine-adulterated milk powder, was punished, thousands of other dairies didn’t work hard to improve the quality. Therefore, food safety problems should be an important concern of Chinese government so that our ancient food culture can be preserved.
As the documentary shows, people are attracted not to gourmet items like matsutake, a species of rare mushroom grown naturally in remote forests, but to common Chinese dishes like barley, lotus root or tofu. They are what meet our basic needs. This explains why people are so excited about A Bite of China---it is a reminder that there is still a world out there where food is excellent and safe.
【1】The underlined word “gourmet items” probably means_______.
A. delicious food B. latest technology
C. beautiful clothes D. great inventions
【2】The second paragraph mainly talks about_______.
A. the content of the documentary
B. the producer of the documentary
C. the popularity of the documentary
D. the history of Chinese gourmet
【3】We can infer from what a netizen wrote in one well –received article that _______.
A. the price of food is too high for many common people
B. the documentary was made by a world-famous Chinese director
C. there is a huge contrast between the ancient food culture and the reality
D. none of the television viewers have a knowledge of the Chinese food culture
【4】According to the passage, China’s food industry has a problem of faking and cheating because_______.
A. there are still so many poor people at the present time
B. the punishment for unscrupulous businessmen isn’t serious enough
C. the Chinese government encourages it to do so
D. the food technology is not so advanced as in developing countries

23、 Would you eat a six-month-old yogurt? This is a question you may have asked if you read the recent story about a US grocer and his year-long experiment eating expired food.
It started in October 2016, when Scott Nash, founder of the Mom's Organic Market chain of grocery stores, wanted to make a smoothie (果昔). He likes his smoothie with yogurt. As he was at his holiday cabin in Virginia, though, the only pot he had to hand was one he had left behind on his last trip there by accident, six months earlier. He opened it. No bad smell. He decided to take the risk and dumped the yogurt in the smoothie. 'I drank and waited, ' he wrote on his blog. And nothing happened.
The first thing to point out is that Nash is based in the US, where regulations on food dating differ significantly from those in the UK. While British foods carry just one date-either 'use by' or 'best before'– Nash was faced with 'quality guarantee period, use by, best by, sell by, best if used by …' He sells food for a living, and even he doesn't understand the system.
Clearly, this lack of clarity has influence on both the health of the environment and the health of the nation. What you don't eat, you'll end up throwing it away, even if you could have safely eaten it; and what you don't know not to eat could make you sick. A report from the Natural Resources Defense Council and Harvard Law School in 2013 said that 40% of American food goes uneaten each year, and the confusing effect of the US date labeling system is in large part to blame.
【1】The underlined phrase 'expired food' probably means the food ______.
A.which is fresh
B.which is sour
C.which is not within the quality guarantee period
D.which is not cooked
【2】What can we learn from para.2?
A.Nash hadn't eaten expired food before October 2016.
B.Nash left the yogurt in the cabin for his experiment.
C.Nash was sure the yogurt would do no harm to him.
D.Nash liked drinking six-month-old yogurt.
【3】What does Nash think of the US's date labels on food?
A.They are clearer than the UK's.
B.They are more advanced than the UK's.
C.They are confusing to people.
D.They are concrete and helpful to the Americans.
【4】What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.The date labeled on the bag of food plays an important role in people's health.
B.The food you throw away can do harm to your health if eaten.
C.People often get sick for eating the expired food.
D.The lack of clarity of date labeling system leads to a large amount of waste of food.
24、A night at the movies is always a good idea. But when you leave the theater and realize you just dropped $45 on a ticket and some snacks, you’ll wish you had been patient enough to wait until the movie came out on Netflix. The average movie ticket price in the United States in 2000 was $5.39; now, a ticket is over $9.
The main reason that movie tickets have gotten so expensive is because of inflation (通货膨胀). It was actually more expensive to go to the movies in the 70s than it is now. A ticket in 1978 cost $2.34. If you plug that into an inflation calculator, the same ticket would cost you $9.46 today. According to the National Association of Theater Owners, the average cost for a ticket today is $9.11.
Another reason you need to spend some of your life savings to see a movie on the big screen is that theaters are competing with streaming services that produce their own films, such as Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon. And let’s be honest, sitting at home on your sofa or in your bed is more comfortable than sitting in a cold theater.
Because of streaming technology, theaters have to do something to bring in customers. Attractions—including alcohol, reclining seats (躺椅), surround sound, and 3-D movies are all examples of that. And those upgrades come at a price, leading to more expensive tickets.
“There’s all that extra cost, and it’s really important for theater owners and companies to make that experience as enjoyable as possible,” Patrick Corcoran, vice president of the National Association of Theatre Owners told Marketplace. “Because you’re offering a superb experience—audience expectations are for the latest and greatest technology. Audiences are willing to pay more for a particular experience.”
【1】According to the passage, what makes movie tickets so expensive?
A.The viewers are wealthier than before.
B.The movie theatres offer popcorns, alcohol for free.
C.Inflation has made the ticket price appear higher than before.
D.The popular movies with famous stars deserve the high price.
【2】We can learn from the passage that ________.
A.Netflix is always a better choice for movie viewers than theatres
B.with comfortable seats, theatres are more attractive than streaming services
C.the viewers actually pay more for the updates of the movie theatres
D.the theater owners and companies update the theaters to make the theatres famous
【3】Which of the following would Patrick Corcoran most probably agree with?
A.It’s unwise for viewers to pay so much to watch a movie in the theater.
B.The high price of a movie ticket is supposed to agree with a wonderful experience.
C.It’s a waste of money to provide the latest technology in the theatre.
D.The viewers would prefer to sit at home on the sofas or in the beds.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A.Behind the Increasing Price of Movie Tickets
B.Technological Improvement on Movie Theatres
C.The Competition between Movie Theatre and Streaming Services
D.How to Save the Viewers’ Wallets
