B About 3,000 years ago,the Chinese people began celebrating the beginning of their calendar year with a joyful festival,Lunar New Year.Every year starts with a big feast.Then in many homes,after the feast is cleared,the whole family gathers to make dumplings late into the night. There are many special foods of the New Year.The most common one is dumplings—traditionally these were made in homes in northern China,but now they’ve spread around the world.They usually look like crescent moons (新月) or round balls.They may be similar to ancient Chinese money as well.They are filled with simple ingredients like pork and cabbage,which are said to bring fortune to the household. “The whole family gathers to chat and make the dumplings,which are eaten between midnight and 2 a.m.,” says Grace Young,author of Stir-Frying to the Sky’s Edge,a book of Chinese recipes and stories,and The Breath of a Wok,a book of the traditional knowledge of the Chinese food. In The Breath of a Wok,Lijun Wang,Chinese-American author Amy Tan’s sister,recalls fondly,“As the jiaozi boiled,it was important not to remove the lid too soon,” says Lijun.“If you did,it could mean that you’d lose your fortune in the coming year.Sometimes we would put a coin inside one dumpling for luck.” “And historically,on New Year’s morning,it was customary not to cook but we were always happy to eat leftover (剩下的) jiaozi,” says Anderson,professor of the University of California,“In northern China,food was pretty scarce,especially in the winter.People were down to what little meat and flour they had left.It just made sense to make dumplings when you wanted a little celebration but didn’t have a lot of money or food.” 4.What can we learn about dumplings according to paragraph 2? A.They are made in different shapes. B.They originated in southern China. C.They were popular in ancient times. D.They can be cooked in different ways. 5.What does Lijun Wang intend to do in The Breath of a Wok? A.To list the dumpling-making method. B.To express her wishes for the New Year. C.To share her dumpling-making memories. D.To share the meaning of certain customs. 6.What does the underlined word “scarce” in the last paragraph mean? A.Lacking. B.Simple. C.Necessary. D.Expensive. 7.Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A.The Influence of Dumplings B.Reunion:Go Home for the Spring Festival C.The Reasons for Eating Dumplings D.Chinese New Year:Dumplings and Fortune C For those who have been wishing for real-life chocolate mountains,your dream is about to come true!Just kidding.The chocolate look-alike mounds(土丘) in Bohol,Philippines have absolutely nothing to do with chocolate aside from the fact that during one particular time of the year,they appear to look similar to chocolate. During the wet season and anytime outside of the dry season,the Chocolate Hills maintain a green color.What attracts people’s attention is the shape of these mounds,as they look as though they were placed there by design,but none of these fields are man-made. With regard to the origin of the Chocolate Hills,while experts have their own opinions,it’s the Filipinos who have drawn their own conclusion about the Chocolate Hills.According to a popular legend,these hills were a result of two giants(巨人) who ended up throwing mounds of earth at one another during a heated argument.As the fight heated up,they began throwing things such as rocks and sand,which is said to be what created the surrounding area.While some locals believe the legend and some don’t,it is an interesting story nevertheless and fun to think about. However,the real story lies in the composition(成分) of the hills and this is where experts have a bit more of a scientific reason for the hills being there than just giants.With the help of heavy rainfall and erosion(侵蚀),it’s believed that limestone(石岩) was broken down over time and it’s this dissolution(分解) that created the Chocolate Hills. The dry season in the Philippines is the only time to see these hills in all their chocolatey glory,and that falls between late November and May.However,since it is just the predicted dry season,it’s recommended that visitors check the weather before planning anything. 8.What is the color of the Chocolate Hills in the wet season? A.Yellow. B.Green. C.Brown. D.Grey. 9.What is the third paragraph mainly about? A.A legend about the Chocolate Hills. B.Locals’ opinions about the Chocolate Hills. C.Who created the Chocolate Hills. D.What the Chocolate Hills are made of. 10.According to the experts,the Chocolate Hills were formed due to 　　　.  A.the dissolution of limestone B.the lack of rainfall C.human activities D.the extreme dry climate 11.When is a good time to visit the Chocolate Hills? A.Early November. B.Mid-July. C.Late September. D.Early January.
