21、The United States celebrates Valentine's Day each year on February 14. Many other countries celebrate Valentine's Day, too, each in their own way. Here is a look at the Valentine's Day traditions in three countries.

Wales：land of love spoons

In Wales, it is called St. Dwynwen's Day, which takes place on January 25. The traditional romantic gift on this day is a love spoon.

Beginning in the 17th century, Welsh men made beautiful wooden spoons as a show of their love for that special person in their lives. Each shape of the spoons has a different meaning. For example, horseshoes mean good luck； keys represent the key to a lover's heart； and wheels are a sign of support.

Argentina：a week of sweets

Argentina celebrates Valentine's Day in February, but also gives a whole other week to love in July. They call it Sweetness Week. If you kiss someone, they have to give you a sugary treat.

Sweetness Week started in 1989 with a candy company called Arcor. They made an advertisement called “Candy for a Kiss”. The idea was to give the company's chocolates and other candies in exchange for a sweet kiss on the cheek. The campaign had a stronger effect than the company expected—it led to a new holiday!

Every July, couples who take part give each other candies and kisses all week long.

South Korea: three is a charm

For South Koreans, Valentine's Day happens in three parts： February 14, March 14 and April 14.

On February 14, women traditionally give men gifts of chocolate to show their love. One month later, on a holiday known as White Day, men show their thanks by giving women a sweet gift. The name “White Day” comes from the custom of giving white-colored gifts.

Let's not forget Black Day on April 14. Single people who did not get gifts on February 14 or March 14 often gather on Black Day to eat noodles with black bean soup.

【1】What does a key-shaped spoon mean?

A．Strong support.

B．Good luck.

C．Deep love.

D．Real thanks.

【2】When is Sweetness Week celebrated?

A．In July .

B．In June.

C．In March.

D．In February .

【3】What would be a good gift on White Day?

A．White   chocolates.

C．Black candies.

D．Black beans.

22、   Global finance is being changed as billionaires get richer and cut out the middlemen（中间商）by creating their own "family offices”，personal investment firms that look for opportunities in global markets. Largely unnoticed，family offices have become a force in investing，with up to S4 trillion of assets（资产）equal to 6%of the value of the world's stock markets. As they grow even bigger，family offices are sure to face uncomfortable questions about how they concentrate power and feed inequality.

These trends are unlikely to fade. The number of billionaires is still growing-199 newbies（新手）made the grade last year. Family offices' weight in the financial system，therefore，looks likely to rise further. As it does，some concerns about them will rise.

The first is that family offices could endanger the stability of the financial system. A $100 billion fund backed by the super-rich，blew up in 1998，almost bringing down Wall Street. Scores of wealthy people collapsed（崩溃）in 2008. Still，as things stand，family offices look like the next disaster waiting to happen. They have debt equal to 17%of their assets，making them among the least leveraged participants in global markets.

The second worry is that family offices could expand the power of the wealthy over the economy. This is possible: were Bill Gates to invest in Turkey，he would own 65%of its stock market. But a healthy economy's aim is usually to diversify risk，not concentrate power，by taking capital（资本）from the original family business and putting it into a widely spread field.

It is the third danger that has most bite: family offices might have privileged（有特权的）access to information，deals and tax schemes，allowing them to perform better than ordinary investors. So far there is little evidence for this. If all this did lead to an unfair advantage，the effect，when combined over decades，would make wealth inequality disastrously worse.

Most authorities are beginners when it comes to dealing with family offices，but they need to ensure that rules on trading and the equal servicing are observed. And they should require family offices with assets of over，say，$10 billion to publish accounts detailing their workings. In return，they should be free to operate undisturbed. They may even have something to teach asset managers serving ordinary investors, many of whom may look at their monthly fees and wish that they, too, could get away from the middlemen.

【1】What do we know about family offices in the first paragraph?

A.They made the global investments for billionaires.

B.Their influence on global markets will go unnoticed.

C.The rise of them contributes to equality in economy.

D.They contribute more to world economy than middlemen.

【2】"The least leveraged participants"(Paragraph 3) refer to the financers who.

A.make the successful investments B.easily fall into the financial crisis

C.work well with the super-rich class D.play a positive role in global markets

【3】What effects could family offices have according to the passage?

A.Their concentration of power brings potential risks to economy.

B.Their various privileges have greatly angered ordinary investors.

C.Their investments are beneficial to the stability of global markets.

D.Their workings could narrow the gap between the rich and the poor.

【4】What should the authorities pay attention to when monitoring the family offices?

A.The quality of their investments.

B.The freedom of their operation.

C.The equality in trading and servicing.

D.The interests of ordinary investors.

23、   Scientists have designed “transparent wood” that could replace conventional glass in windows. The innovation was developed using wood from the balsa tree, which is native to South and Central America, and claims to be five times more thermally efficient than glass.

The transparent wood was created by teams at the University of Maryland and University of Colorado, which set out to find a greener alternative to conventional glass – a production that creates 25,000 tons in emissions each year. Along with contributing to greenhouse gases, glass contributes to a loss of energy.

“Residential building windows in particular account for 10–25% of the heat loss due to their poor thermal management capability,” the team wrote in the study.

“Exploring energy efficient window materials is thus highly desirable to address heating costs, energy shortages, and the global impact of climate change associated with increased carbon emissions.”

The team notes that the bonding between PVA and cellulose(纤维素)in the wood, creates a tightly packed structure that allows for more thermal protection and makes it more durable and lighter than glass.

The team treated balsa wood in a bath that bleaches(漂白)it of nearly all visibility and then injected it with a chemical substance called polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) - creating a product that is virtually transparent. Unlike traditional glass, the transparent wood can withstand much stronger impacts and will bend or crack when damaged, instead of shattering(粉碎).

“Switching to transparent wood could prove to be cost efficient as well,” researchers shared in a statement. “It is made from a sustainable, renewable resource with low carbon emissions. It can be produced with existing industrial processing equipment, making its manufacturing an easy prospect.”

【1】What does the underlined word “thermally” in paragraph 1 mean?

A．Associated with cost.

B．Connected with heat.

C．Associated with emissions

D．Connected with structure.

【2】Why is the residential building windows mentioned in paragraph 3?

A．To show the disadvantage of conventional glass.

B．To show the efficiency of thermal management.

C．To explain the global impact of climate change.

D．To explain the importance of building designing.

【3】What helps the transparent wood in thermal protection?

A．Its tightly packed structure.

B．Its sustainable, renewable resource.

C．Its easy manufacturing prospect.

D．Its industrial processing equipment.

【4】What do we know about the “transparent wood”?

A．It will shatter when damaged.

B．It has replaced traditional glass.

C．It is more durable than glass.

D．It contributes to greenhouse gases.

24、The United States space agency, NASA. says its Mars exploration vehicle recently recorded a high level of methane (甲烷) gas on the planet. The discovery is exciting because the presence of methane gas could support the case for life on Mars.

NASA's Curiosity vehicle recently recoded the largest level of methane ever measured during its seven-year Mars mission.

Methane has no color or smell. A special instrument on Curiosity's Man Science Laboratory recorded the increased gas level. The device measures levels of chemical elements and gases in the Marian atmosphere. In addition to methane, the instrument can record levels of water and carbon dioxide.

Nearly all the methane gas found in Earth's atmosphere is produced by living thing. It usually comes from animal and plant life. But it can also be formed by geological(地质的) processes, such as interactions. between rocks and water.

It was not the first time Curiosity had found methane gas in the Martian atmosphere. About a year ago, NASA announced that Curiosity had discovered sharp seasonal increases in the gas. This time, NASA said the measured methane gas level was clearly larger than any others observed in the past. "It's exciting because microbial (微生物的) life is an important source of methane on Earth," NASA said in a statement announcing the discovery.

However, Curiosity's team carried out a follow-up methane experiment that showed a sharp drop in levels of the gas. That number was "close to the background levels Curiosity sees all the time." NASA said. The rise and fall of the methane gas levels left NASA scientists with more questions than answers.

"The methane mystery continues," said Ashwin Vasavada. Curiosity's project scientist, "We're more motivated than ever to keep measuring and put our brains together to figure out how methane behaves in the Marian atmosphere."

【1】What do we know about methane go?

A．It is a must to living things.

B．It can be found everywhere.

C．It smells like carbon dioxide.

D．It's mainly from biological activity.

【2】What do the explorations on Mans tell us?

A．Humans have known much about Mars.

B．There will be more methane gas on Mars.

C．There is no progress in the 7 year's research.

D．The level of methane gas on Mars is not stable.

【3】What does the discovery mean in NASA's view?

A．There may exist life on Mars.

B．Methane gas on Mars has a sudden increase.

C．The mystery about Mars will be solved soon.

D．They're known how methane as is formed on Mans.

【4】How do the NASA's scientists feel about their future exploration?

A．Aimless.

B．Confident.

C．Stressed.

D．Serious.

25、   Amid all the poverty and desperation in Los Angeles’s Skid Row (贫民区), one couple is determined to use their own experience with loss to foster (培养) a sense of hope.
