Brussels: Chocolate - 2 - Nearly half the chocolate consumed in the world is eaten in Europe, and Belgiumwith average consumption of 14.99 pounds per person a yearcertainly covers its fair share. While Brussels, the countrys capital, is home to hundreds of chocolate makers, what makes a visit necessary is the rich heritage of traditional chocolate makers. Budapest: Paprika(红辣椒) The job of preparing Hungarian paprika was once considered too dangerous for mothers to do. A woman who touched her children upon returning from work risked burning them, so only the elderly and unmarried were allowed the delicate task of separating the skin from the flesh. But by the early 20th century, sweeter varieties and a machine turned paprika into a common feature of all Hungarian cuisine. Lisbon: Tiles(瓷砖) Is there a bluer country than Portugal? The blue sky and Atlantic Ocean embrace the land. The blue moods of Fado, the dark folk music, form the national soundtrack. And all across Portugal, the typically blue designs of azulejoceramic tilesare spread across churches, castles, palaces, university halls, parks. The result is a beautiful land of Christian saints, Portuguese kings, historical glories, aristocrats(贵族) at leisure, seascapes and so on. Madrid: Guitars Walking into one of Madrids storied guitar makers workshops can feel like stepping into the past. Curly wood shavings, from the palest pine to ebony, fall onto the floor as artisans (工匠) turn some humble wood into works of art.Its painstaking workall done by handwith classical guitar models and the methods of making them change little the last century. 21.What does the job of preparing Hungarian paprika suggest?

Theyre all treasures of a city. B. They all date back several centuries. C. Their production processes are all painstaking. D. They all win popularity in most European countries. - 3 - B Night vision technology has been around for a while, but its only really used by professionals due to its big size. But what if night vision was something you could fit into a pair of eye glasses? You could keep a pair in your bag if you were going to be walking home alone in the dark. All this and more could be possible thanks to a new development by researchers. “We can make the entire design super-thin,” said Zhaohui Zhong, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Michigan. “It can be fitted into a contact lens (隐形眼镜).” The most effective night vision technology works by catching the infrared (红外线 的) part of the light. Zhong suggests that the technology could therefore be used for more than just night vision. It could help doctors monitor blood flow without having to move a patient or take them to any scans, or be used by art historians to examine layers of paint underneath the surface. Its not quite X-ray vision but its pretty close. Previous attempts to use graphene (石墨烯) in this way have suffered from the materials insensitivity towards parts of the light. The team from Michigans breakthrough was to create a sandwich of layers, with a barrier placed between two slices of graphene and an electrical current sent through the bottom part. When the infrared light hits the top layer of graphene it drives away electrons as normal, a process that is then amplified(放大) by the electrical current. And you get night vision. “Our work pioneered a new way to detect light,” said Zhong. “You will have these cameras on your smartphone, on your vehicle to drive at night, for security, and so on.” 24.Whats special about the latest night vision technology? A. Its more convenient to use. B. It has the most fashionable design. C. It has been used in the field of medicine. D. Its popular with people who wear glasses. 25.What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. The light. B. The infrared. C. The technology. D. The X-ray. 26.Paragraph 3 is mainly about_. A. what the night vision technology is B. how the night vision technology works C. the origin of the night vision technology D. the use of the night vision technology in daily life - 4 - 27.According to Zhaohui Zhong, the night vision technology_. A. makes night vision available for all people B. will be improved for security reasons C. will be as common as a smartphone D. may have a potential market C I was asked to pay a visit to a special student. An illness had kept the boy home, but he had expressed an interest in meeting me. I was told it would mean a great deal to him, so I agreed. During the nine-mile drive to his home, I found out something about Matthew. He had muscular dystrophy (肌肉萎缩).When he was born, the doctor told his parents that he would not live to five. Now he was thirteen. He wanted to meet me because I was a gold-medal power lifter, and I knew about overcoming obstacles and going for my dreams. I spent over an hour talking to Matthew. Never once did he complain or ask, “Why me?” He spoke about going for his dreams. He didnt mention that his classmates had made fun of him. He just talked about his hopes for the future, and one day he wanted to lift weights with me. When we finished talking, I went to my briefcase and pulled out the first gold medal I had won and put it around his neck. I told him he was more of a winner and knew more about success and overcoming obstacles than I ever would. He looked at it for a moment, then took it off and handed it back to me. He said, “You are a champion. You earned that medal. Some day when I get to the Olympics and win my own medal, I will show it to you.” Last summer I received a letter from Matthews parents telling me that Matthew had passed away. It read: Dear Dick, My mum said I should send you a thank-you letter for the picture you sent me. I also want to let you know that the doctors tell me that I dont have long to live any more, but I still smile as much as I can. I told you someday that I would win a gold medal, but I know now I will never get to do that. However, I know Im a champion. Thank you for loving me. Your friend, Matthew 28.Matthew looked forward to meeting the author because_. A. he was also good at weightlifting B. he wanted to get to the Olympics and win a medal C. he was one of the authors fans - 5 -
