We love to think back of our time in the Moroccan desert. Back in 2013 we were staying in the wild city of Marrakesh. We started with brunch at La Mamounia’s poolside and walked around the city. One highlight of our day was visiting Jardin Majorelle. As soon as we walked in, we wanted to pull out our phone

and started taking photos because everything was so picturesque. The electric blue walls and vases with pops of yellow served as the perfect background for us to pose in front of. Besides, many different smells ran through our noses. It was truly a wow-experience to get to know Marrakesh.

Later, we got the opportunity to hop on a bus to a desert adventure. It was a bus tour with local guides on their way to the far desert, stopping at a few small towns in the mountains. On the way we crossed the Atlas Mountains, and there were tons of tiny villages hidden in the middle of nowhere. Really impressive!

We spent the night in a small group of tents. In a bigger tent, we all came together to have dinner. After enjoying a tagine(塔吉锅炖菜) loaded with Cous Cous and vegetables, our new friends started to play some music, and everybody started singing. The most impressive part of the whole night, however, was something different. Have you ever seen onebillion stars? This is how we felt while watching the clear sky in the cold desert. We both have never seen so many stars.

We decided to wake up early. We wanted to watch the sun climbing up behind the mountain, and feel the first sunbeam.And we took the photo, trying to freeze those good travel memories.

21. According to the passage, which of the following words best describes the city of Marrakesh?

A. Busy. B. Noisy. C. Lively. D. Ancient. 22. What impressed the author most in the desert at night? A. The big tent. B. The cold wind.

C. The shining stars. D. The beautiful music. 23. This passage is most probably ______.

A. a travel advertisement B. an online travel journal C. a guidebook to Moroccan D. a feature story on Marrakesh

It can be one of the most disturbing things in life — waiting in line at the supermarket. But new research shows that a few simple “life hacks” can make the process much quicker and pain-free than you may think. After researchers found that the average Briton spends between one and six months of their life standing in line at the shops, they worked out the “life hacks”. Desmos, a US organization that promotes maths, technology and data, has spent months analyzing supermarket data and revealed the best ways to beat the queues.

Dan Meyer, chief academic officer at Desmos, said it takes at least 41 seconds for each customer to pass through a till(收银机), with an additional three seconds added on per item they are purchasing. “Every person requires a fixed amount of time to say hello, pay, say goodbye and clear out of the lane,” he told the New York Times. He said the data showed that standing in line with numerous customers who are buying fewer items can be a bad choice. Instead, he said it actually works out quicker to stand behind one person with a shopping cart full of items, as the face-to-face interaction time is quicker than having to wait for the cashier to greet lots of shoppers.

Meanwhile, Robert Samuel, founder of the New York-based Same Ole Line Dudes —

a service that stands in line on behalf of customers — said most people are right-handed and therefore tend to queue on the right-hand side. He advised customers to queue on the left, and said he preferred female cashiers. “This may seem strange, but I prefer female cashiers. In my experience they seem to be the most efficient at register transactions,” he told the newspaper. His other advice includes always facing bar codes toward the cashier, removing the hangers of clothes before they are scanned and splitting the items between yourself and others to get through the tills quicker.

24. What does the underlined word “hacks” (Paragraph 1) mean?

A. Behaviors. B. Tricks. C. Choices. D. Ideas. 25. In Dan Meyer’s opinion, if a customer purchases six items, it takes him at least ______ seconds to pass through a till?

A. 41 B. 44 C. 50 D. 59

26. According to the passage, we can cut down the time of queuing at the supermarket by ______.

A. sorting out your items from others B. joining a line on the right-hand side

C. standing in a line whose cashier is a male

D. waiting behind a lot of shoppers buying fewer items

C

By the mid-nineteenth century, the term “icebox” had entered the American language, but ice was still only beginning to affect the diet of ordinary citizens in the United States. The ice trade grew with the growth of cities. Ice was used in hotels, pubs, and hospitals, and by some forward-looking city dealers in fresh meat, fresh fish, and butter. After the Civil War (1861-1865), as ice was used to refrigerate freight cars, it also came into household use. Even before 1880, half the ice sold in New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, and one-third of that sold in Boston and Chicago, went to families for their own use. This had become possible because a new household convenience, the icebox, the modern refrigerator, had been invented.

Making an efficient icebox was not as easy as we might now suppose. In the early nineteenth century, the knowledge of the physics of heat, which was essential to a science of refrigeration, was undeveloped. The common sense notion that the best icebox was one that prevented the ice from melting was of course mistaken, for it was the melting of the ice that performed the cooling. Nevertheless, early efforts to economize ice included wrapping the ice in blankets, which kept the ice from doing its job. Not until near the end of the nineteenth century did inventors achieve the delicate balance of insulation(绝缘) and circulation needed for an efficient icebox.

But as early as 1803, an intelligent Maryland farmer, Thomas Moore, had been on the right track. He owned a farm about twenty miles outside the city of Washington, for which the village of Georgetown was the market center. When he used an icebox of his own design to transport his butter to market, he found that customers would pass up the rapidly melting stuff in the tubs of his competitors to pay an extra price for his butter, still fresh and hard in neat, one-pound bricks.
