An experience in China lets me see how food can cross cultures. A Chinese friend rushed me to a Beijing restaurant to show me a delicious dish, promising something I had never seen before that would change how I thought about food forever.
It was a bowl of banmian(拌面). Although delicious, I couldn't help feeling I had tried this dish before. As I twisted(搅动) the noodles with my chopsticks, it hit me with how they look: isn't this food just Chinese Spaghetti?
I had grown up hearing stories of the Italian businessman and explorer Marco Polo bringing back noodles from his journeys in China in the 13th century. But the noodles have been taking Europe from China much earlier, with the help of European traders moving across Central Asia. British Spaghetti shows that, even after reaching Italy, the food kept changing.
The first bites of my meal made me consider the historical journey of noodles, and I was inspired to take a journey through my own history. With my father's family being Italian, spaghetti was never far away. I remember from my grandma that the only way to tell if spaghetti is cooked properly is by throwing it at the wall. If it sticks, it's ready to eat. If it falls, it still needs time to cook. I wondered if the kitchen walls at this restaurant had noodles thrown at them.
This journey to China not only allowed me to enjoy the deliciousness of food, but also deeply understand the difference and mix of culture. Every bite of the noodles tells a story of years, and I was lucky to be part of it.

16、任务型阅读。根据短文内容,按要求回答问题。
Plastic is probably one of the world's most widely used materials. That's because it is cheap and can be shaped into nearly everything. But how much do we actually know about this material?
The world's first synthetic(人工合成的) plastic was created in 1862. After polyethylene(聚乙烯) was invented in 1933, it became one of the most widely used materials in the world. Years later, with the rapid development of technology, the world entered the time of plastics.
Plastic has many advantages, but at a great cost. More than 400 million tons of plastic are produced every year, and over half of the plastic is single-use. About 19 to 23 million tons of plastic waste end up in lakes, rivers and seas every year, polluting the environment. Much of it can enter the bodies of animals and humans, harming their health and even leading to death.
Hainan is the first province of China to carry out laws to stop the use, sale and production of the single-use plastics. In supermarkets, customers can buy biodegradable(可生物降解的) plastic bags that can break down easily. In a factory in Hainan, we can see that biodegradable materials are made from bamboo. Like trees or grass, they can return to the earth after they dry up.
Hainan's efforts are a step towards a cleaner and greener future. By stopping single-use plastics, the province is helping protect the environment. This also inspires others to take action for a healthier planet.
(1)、Why do people like using plastic?(2)、When was polyethylene invented?(3)、How many tons of plastic are produced every year?(4)、What's the advantage of biodegradable plastic bags?(5)、What else can we do to stop plastic waste? (答案须与文中内容不同) -
17、完成图表。根据短文内容,完成表格中所缺信息。
Long before electricity, air conditioning was invented. As modern man tries to find a way to reduce CO2,ancients have much to teach us.
In southern China, skywells(天井) have been in use since the Ming Dynasty in the 14th century. They were designed to cool the inside space, collect rainwater and prevent strong sunlight, providing people with a comfortable place to eat, read, and spend time with family.
Although a skywell's size and design differ from place to place, it is almost always a rectangle(长方形)hugged by rooms on four sides. This kind of design helps a lot in cooling the inside space at the time when there's no air-conditioner. When wind blows across a skywell house, it is often cooler and heavier than the indoor air. The breeze enters the indoor space through the opening, travels down the walls and then makes the warmer air go up and out of the opening.
Although skywell buildings have a history of hundreds of years in China, people forgot them due to the rise of modern buildings. Over the past twenty years, however, more and more buildings are using skywells in their design. In Jinan, Shandong, there is an 18-story tower with a huge skywell in the middle. The bathrooms, meeting rooms and elevators are all located on the inside walls, providing better temperature control.
Besides its practical uses, skywells also have great cultural values. Yu Youhong has spent more than 30years repairing skywell homes in Wuyuan of Jiangxi Province. One of the skywell homes that Yu repaired is a won a RED DOT design award.
As an important part of Chinese traditional houses, and being in line with the government initiative(倡议) for greener buildings, skywells will play a greater role in our lives.

The robots have a lot of good points for doctors and patients. They help to make medical costs lower and make hard surgery faster and easier. They also make it possible for doctors to do surgery with less harm to patients' bodies. So patients can get well sooner.
But robots are not always flawless. They are expensive. Also, they are just tools that need good doctors to use them. Even the best robots can't do everything that people can do.
