B
I've
handled
chopsticks
skillfully
for
decades.
While
it
used
to
amuse
me,
it
mildly
annoys
menow
that
Chinese react with astonishment to see a foreigner handle them
—
as if someone from a country that put a man on
the moon would somehow be incapable of handing two simple sticks. Asyou
can see, China’s influence stretched far
and
wide
long
before
opening-
up
in
the
late
1970s
or
today’s
Belt
and
Road
Initiative.
So
the
idea
that
most
foreigners cannot use chopsticks is, simplyput,fiddlesticks.
My
first
exposure
to
chopsticks
came
way
back
in
the
1960s
via
the
elementary
piano
tune
knownas
Chopsticks, which aroused my curiosity as to what the word meant. Not long afterward, my parentsintroduced me
to Chinese food at King Fong Cafe in Omaha, Nebraska, which, I only learnedrecently, was among the landmarks
of the heartland city
’
s once-thriving Chinatown in the early 1900s.
In
fact,
I
have
undergone
special
kuaizi

training
(improving
skills,
for
example,
by
constantlypicking
up
peanuts when I lived with my Chinese
tai chi
master) and experimentation (exploring the use of chopsticks to snap
up
popcorn and donuts; I’
m working on ice cream).
But there’
s one western food for which chopsticks are truly a godsend: salads. After moving toChina in 2014, I
bought a salad at a convenience store, and the clerk handed me
kuaizi
. I refused atfirst, but then thought, “All right”
and gave it a try.
Amazingly
useful!
I
could
pick
and
choose
each
small
piece
much
more
carefully,
without
havingto
move
awkwardly trying to spear (
刺
) the crispy carrot or cherry tomato and then move it mouthward.
Another clear advantage of these simplest of tools is that they regulate the pace and volume ofeating. It's much
harder to“pig out”by shoveling food with chopsticks than with a fork and spoon.

However, in t
he spirit of globalization, let’
s not overlook the finer points of knife and fork. Infact, a handy
thing
about
the
fork
is
that
everyone
can
basically
use
it
with
each
hand.
I
dare
to
saythat,
for
Chinese
and
foreignersalike, switching hands while using chopsticks is not so readily done with confidence.
24. What makes the author feel unhappy about using chopsticks?
A. The comments on chopsticks from foreigners.
B. Incapacity to handle two simple sticks.
2

C. The idea that foreigners don't like chopsticks.
D. Reaction of Chinese on seeing him using chopsticks.
25. What does the underlined word “fiddlesticks”in Paragraph 1 mean?

A. nonsense
B. reasonable
C. acceptable
D. shameful
26. What is the advantage of chopsticks according to the passage?
A. They can let people wolf down food easily.
B. They can spear the crispy carrot or cherry tomato.
C. Theycan be amazingly useful to eat western food.
D. They can help users control the pace and volume of eating.
27. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Me and Chopsticks

B. Chinese Kitchen Culture
D. Two Sides of Chopsticks

I. M. Pei, one of the best-known architects of the 20th century, has died. He was 102. Born inChina, Ieoh Ming
Pei
moved
to
the
United
States
in
1935
to
study
architecture
at
the
MassachusettsInstitute
of
Technology
and
Harvard University.
Pei’
s
works
around
the
world
include
museums,
government
buildings,
hotels,
schools
and
otherstructures
built with stone, steel and glass. One of his best-known and most disputed works was built30 years ago. Pei created
a new entrance for the world-famous Louvre Museum in Paris. Pei firstspent four months studying the museum and
French history. He then drew plans for a 21-meter-tallsteel and glassid, with three smaller pyramids nearby. It was a
very futuristic style of work forthe 12th-century building.
A
French newspaper criticized Pei’s pyramids as“an annex to Disneyland”. An environmentalgroup said they
belonged in a desert. Others accused Pei of ruining on
e of the world’s greatest landmarks.

Pei said the Louvre was the most difficult job of his career. He argued that he had wanted to create a modern
space that would not take away from the traditional part of the museum. He said theglass pyramids were based on
the works of French landscape architect Le Notre. They honored Frenchhistory.
The pyramids opened in the spring of 1989. Over the years that followed, the structure came tobe loved by
most, if not all, of its critics.
Other
well-known
Pei
buildings
include
the
John
F.
Kennedy
Library
in
Dorchester,
Massachusetts,
the
National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado, the East Wing of theNational Gallery of Art in
Washington
and
the
Dallas
City
Hall
in
Texas.
Pei
officially
retired
in1990.
However,
he
continuedtoworkon

An increasing part of the world is becoming artificially lit. Artificial light is often seen as a signof progress:
the march of civilization shines a light in the dark; it takes back the night. But some scientists argue that unnaturally
bright nights are bad not just for astronomers but also for nocturnal (
夜间的
) animals and even for human health.
Now
research
shows
the
night
is
getting
even

2012
to
2016
the
earth
’
s
artificiallylit
area
expanded by about 2.2 percent a year, according to a study published last November in Science Advances. However,
the
measurement
does
not
include
light
from
most
of
the
energy
–
efficientLED
lamps
that
have
been
replacing
sodium-vapor (
钠气灯
) technology in cities all over the world,says Christopher Kyba, a postdoctoral researcher at
the German Research Center for Geosciences inPotsdam.
The new data came from a NASA satellite instrument called the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite
(VIRS).
It
can
measure
long
wavelengths
of
light,
such
as
those
produced
by
traditionalyellow-and-orange
sodium-vapor street lamps. But VIIRS cannot see the short- wavelength blue lightproduced by white LEDs. This
light has been shown to disturb human sleep cycles and nocturnal ani
mals’ behavior.

The team believes the ongoing switch to LEDs caused already bright countries such as Italy, theNetherlands,
Spain and the U.S. to register as having stable levels of lighting in the VIIRS data. Incontrast, most nations in South
4

America, Africa and Asia brightened, suggesting increases in the useof traditional lighting.
In 2016, a study show
ed that one third of the world’
s population currently lives under skies toobright to see the
Milky Way at night. Between 2012 and 2016 the median nation pumped out 15 percent more long-wavelength light
as its GDP increased by 13 percent. Overall, counties' total lightproduction correlated with their GDP.
32. Which of the following can best describe artificial light?
A. Convenient but unnatural.
C. Progressive but uncomfortable.
B. Useful but energy-consuming.
D. Civilized but harmful.
33. What can we know about the already bright countries?
A. Traditional lighting is not used in those countries.
B. LED lights are increasingly used in those countries.
C. Efforts to reduce harmful light work in those countries.
D. People do enjoy stable lighting in those countries.
34. Why does the author mention“the median nation”
in the last paragraph?
A. To show artificial light has an association with GDP.
B. To demonstrate GDP plays an important part in the median nation.
C. To stress the median nation was to blame for the light problem.
D. To suggest artificial light should be banned in the future.
35. Where is the passage most probably taken from?
A. A biologytextbook.
B. A book review.
C. A science magazine.
D. A science fiction.
