21．（6分）Jeremy Baras remembers the first time he ever saw a pop-up restaurant. The 26-year-old entrepreneur was on vacation in England four years ago and had to look up at the London Eye Ferries wheel to see it. Hanging above him was a capsule(航天舱) full of diners who were served a new course each time a revolution was made. “I thought that was the coolest thing ever”, he says. Baras, who founded PopUpR in 2012 to promote the idea of pop-up restaurants in the USA, has been studying them ever since.
Pop-ups, which have been around since at least the early 2000s, are open anywhere from a few hours to several months, but their defining feature is that they are temporary. They may be only a tiny part of the $709 billion U.S. restaurant industry, but pop-ups have gotten a boost in recent years as a lower-cost, lower-risk way for entrepreneurs to test the waters. Some restaurant owners see them as a way to renew interest in existing locations. And some struggling cities, like Oakland, California, have turned to them to help revitalize local economies impacted by the recession(衰退).
The concept has been especially popular with up-and-coming chefs who want to test-drive as a menu concept without investing a fortune in a permanent space. “Your cooks and chefs are really talented, but they’re stuck in the back of somebody else’s kitchen cooking somebody else’s menu,” says Zach Kupperman, chief businessman officer and co-founder of Dinner Lab.
Chefs in Dinner Lab cook in the middle of space, give a brief introduction about the menu and themselves — and then bravely listen to diner feedback afterward. Pop-ups’ temporary nature also allows restaurateurs to charge a deposit to make sure the diners will show up.
Of course, trends in the food industry come and go quickly, and there is no guarantee that diners won’t tire of the concept. Some entrepreneurs have resorted to even weirder locations — in a former limestone mine, say, or at the top of a crane — to keep customers interested. “It’s not quite part of the mainstream economy yet.” says Baras.
1、What does the underlined part “a revolution was made” in Paragraph One possibly mean?
A．Chefs designed creative dishes.
B．Diners tasted food in a new and creative way.
C．The capsule containing diners made a circle.
D．Great changes were made in the food industry.
2、Perspective chefs are drawn to pop-ups due to the fact that ________.
A．pop-ups are becoming increasingly popular with diners worldwide
B．they have the desire to explore a safer way to make a living
C．their investment in pop-ups will bring them a long-lasting fortune
D．pop-ups provide a changeable test field for talented chefs’ creativity
3、The writer’s purpose of writing the passenger is ________.
A．to appeal to people to dine out in pop-up restaurants
B．to give a brief introduction of pop-up restaurants
C．to warn business owners of the appearance of pop-up restaurants
D．to foresee the future of pop-up restaurants’ development
22．（8分） It sounds almost too good to be true，but a new study on sleeping brains suggests that listening to languages while you sleep can actually help you to learn them．
For the study，researchers played recordings of foreign words and their translations to subjects enjoying slow-wave sleep，a stage when a person has 1ittle consciousness of their environment．To ensure that the results were not compromised by foreign language words that subjects may have had some contact with at some point in their waking lives，researchers made up totally nonexistent foreign words．
When the subjects woke up，they were presented with the made-up words again without their translations．The subjects were then asked to imagine whether this made-up word indicated an object that was either smaller or larger．This vague(模糊的)way of testing their understanding of the words is an approach that is supposed to tap into the unconscious memory．
Unbelievably，the subjects were able to correctly classify the words in this way at an accuracy rate that was 10 percent higher than random chance．That’s not a rate high enough to have them suddenly communicating in a foreign tongue，but it is enough to suggest that the brain is still absorbing information on some level，even during sleep．
Researchers have long known that sleep is important for memory，but previously its role in memory was thought to relate only to the preservation and organization of memories acquired during wakefulness．This is the first time that memory formation has been shown to be active during sleep．
In other words，our brains are listening to the world，and learning about it，even when our conscious selves are not present．
The next step for researchers will be to see if new information can be 1earned quicker during wakefulness if it was already presented during sleep．If so，it could forever change how we train our brains to learn new things．Sleep learning might become a widespread practice．
1、Why did researchers use some made-up words in the study?
A．To guarantee the accuracy of the test result．
B．To increase the difficulty of testing information．
C．To avoid the subjects cheating in the experiment．
D．To test if our brain are good at learning something new．
2、What were the subjects asked to do in the study?
A．Classify what they heard by size．
B．Make up a word to represent“large”or“small”．
C．Repeat the words they heard in the sleep．
D．Imagine the meanings of the made-up words．
3、What conclusion did researchers draw from this study?
A．Sleep is necessary for a good memory．
B．Memory formation goes on during sleep．
C．Listening during sleep is good for our brain．
D．Learning languages in sleep has better effects．
4、What will be the researchers’next plan?
A．To train people how to learn during sleep．
B．To prove the existence of unconscious memory．
C．To dig out the reason for unconscious learning．
D．To study the effect of sleep learning on conscious learning．
23．（8分） US scientists say they have poured cold water on the theory that washing hands with hot water kills more germs (细菌) than unheated water. The small study of 20 people found using water at 15℃ (59F) left hands as clean as water heated to 38℃ (100F).
National Health Service (NHS) recommends that people wash their hands in either cold or warm water. In this study, scientists at Rutgers University — New Brunswick wanted to find out if popular assumptions about the benefits of warm or hot water and official guidance on hot water — given to the food industry in the US — held true. They asked 20 people to wash their hands 20 times each with water that was 15℃ (59F), 26℃ (79F) or 38 degrees (100F). Volunteers were also asked to experiment with varying amounts of soap. Before they started the tests, their hands were covered in harmless bugs. Researchers say there was no difference in the amount of bugs removed as the temperature of the water or the amount of soap changed.
Prof Donald Schaffner said, “People need to feel comfortable when they are washing their hands but as far as effectiveness goes, this study shows us that the temperature of the water used did not matter.”
However, the researchers accept their study is small and say more extensive work is needed to determine the best ways to remove harmful bacteria.
In the UK, NHS experts say people can use cold or hot water to wash their hands. They say hands should be washed for at least 20 seconds and stress the importance of using enough soap to cover the whole surface of the hands. Their guidance focuses on rubbing hands together in various ways to make sure each surface of each hand is clean.
1、What does the underlined phrase “poured cold water” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A．Proved.
B．Contradicted.
C．Created.
D．Accepted.
2、After they washed their hands with either hot or cold water, _______.
A．volunteers all didn't feel very comfortable
B．volunteers all talked about American food industry
C．volunteers still had much germ on their hands
D．volunteers nearly had the same amount of germ removed
3、How do researchers feel about their study?
A．It is popular.
B．It is convincing.
C．It is incomplete.
D．It is abstract.
4、Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A．Using Cold Water Instead of Hot Water
B．How to Use Cold Water to Wash Hands
C．It’s Better to Wash Hands in Cold Water
D．Washing Hands in Cold Water as Good as in Hot Water

25．（10分）Instagram is containing so many photos of food---now a pop-up diner in London is taking advantage of this new trend by letting people settle the bill for their meals simply by uploading photos of their dishes to social networks.
I always thought people's taking pictures of their food was kind of silly, but at this new pop-up restaurant in the UK, I'd probably do it too. “The Picture House” is the world's first pay-by-photo restaurant—you order, click a photo of the food, share on Instagram and eat for free!
The restaurant belongs to frozen food giant (巨人）Birds Eye, who came up with the idea to cash in on people’s addiction with photographing food and sharing the pictures online. They conducted a survey and found out that more than half of the British population regularly took pictures of their meals. So they realized it was a better way to advertise their new dining range.
The pop-up diner was open in Soho, London for three days in May, and is now moving to other major UK cities. They serve two-course meals that customers don't have to pay for, if they photo and Instagram it.
The restaurant is a part of Birds Eye’s “Food for Life,” campaign, a new marketing project that aims at changing the way people look at frozen food. “Taking photos of food enables people to show off and to share their mealtime moments—from the everyday to the special,” said marketing director Margaret Jobling.
The reaction to The Picture House has been great so far. And the pay-by-picture concept has proven to be an effective way. Alternative payment methods are actually gaining popularity among a lot of businesses. Last year, in a cafe in Germany customers pay by how much time they spend there, not by what they eat.
1、Instagram probably is_______________.
A．a restaurant free of charge B．a campaign of “Food for Life”
C．a new marketing project D．a program used to share photos
2、“The Picture Ho
