ADo you like museums? Have you been to the Louvre in Paris, the Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City or any of those other “must see” museums? Well, now it’s time to go off the beaten path. There are some museums that try to be a little different.The Kimchi Museum, Seoul, South KoreaIf you don’t know about kimchi, a trip to the Kimchi Museum is an eye-opening experience. The museum was founded in 1986 to highlight South Korea’s rich kimchi culture.

The museum also provides details about the history and nutritional (有营养的) benefits of South Korea’s most beloved side dish. Finally, stop by t he souvenir (纪念品) shop to try various types of kimchi. Don’t forget to buy your favourite kind to bring home for dinner!The Museum of Gold, Bogota, ColombiaIf you want to see beautiful objects, the Museum of Gold is the place. It holds one of South Ameri ca’s most amazing collections. Because the exhibits (展品) shine so brightly, you can take photographs without using a flash on your camera! Not everything is made of gold, though. Among the exhibits are ancient pre-Columbian items. Many of them are made from a mixture of gold and copper, known as tumbaga. The museum also features coins, jewelry, and pieces of rare art.The Chocolate Museum, Cologne, GermanyThe Chocolate Museum will teach you everything about chocolate-from cocoa bean to candy bars. You’ll learn about chocolate’s 3,000-year history and discover how it was once used as money in South America. Did you know that it wasn’t popular in Europe until the nineteenth century? A real chocolate factory shows you how chocolate is made. After you’ve finish ed the tour, you can have a free drink of rich, sticky pure chocolate-perfect for those with a sweet tooth.21．What is the main characteristic of the exhibits in the Museum of Gold?A.

They offer visitors a chance to taste the food.C. They sell varieties of souvenirs about the food.D. They tell visitors the nutritional benefits of the food.23．Where can you find this passage?A.

But from time to time, nature delivers a weather event that is really unusual.One day in 2005, people in a small town in Serbia saw an unusual sight. It was raining frogs! Without any warning, they found their streets filling with the little jumping creatures. “There were thousands of them,” one person told a local newspaper. “I tho ught perhaps a plane carrying frogshad exploded (爆炸),” said another. Scientists believe a tornado passed over a lake and sucked (吸) up the frogs. It then dropped them on the town, far away. Surprisingly, many survived the fall to the ground.As if tornado es aren’t dangerous enough, some can actually be made of fire. When a wildfire reaches very high temperatures, it causes the air to heat up and then rise. Cooler air moves quickly to replace the hot air. This create s strong winds, which suck up the fire. When this happens — like it did in 2014, in Denver, United States-a fire tornado is created. A tornado like this can become 15meters wide and grow as tall as a 40-store y building. It is one of nature’s most frightening creations.In 1942, hundreds of thousand-year-old skeletons (骨架) were found under the ice of Lake Roopkund in the Himalayas. Many had holes in their skulls-but they weren’t hurt in any other way. For years, the cause of their deaths was a mystery. Today, scientists think they were killed by giant hailstones. Hailstones are balls of ice that form when raindrops turn into ice. The ice pieces increase in size until the wind cannot hold them up. This results in hailstones falling to the ground, often at speeds of over 160 kilometers an hour. For the unlucky people at Lake Roopkund, there was nowhere to run. Sadly, they were all killed that day.24．Why did the frogs appear in Serbia one day in 2005?A. A large flood washed the frogs down.B. The frogs were brought by heavy rains.C.

Many people, whether men or women, wore flowers as decorations (装饰). There were even more varieties of flowers and plants grow n in the royal garden owned by Zhao Tuo, the founder of Nanyue Kingdom.During the Tang and Song dynasties, Huadi, the land of flowers in Chinese, located in present-day Fangcun area of Guangzhou, was where Datong Port (港口), a major harbor for foreign trade, lay. Many businessmen from different places brought various flower seeds to the port by sea, turning a large wetland into flower fields. Besides, Cantonese farmers also grew flowers on the farmlands of thirty-three villages located south of the Pearl River.The flower trade also contributed to the boom (繁荣) of Canton, which was the starting point of the ancient Maritime Silk Road (海上丝绸之路). As early as the Western Han Dynasty, people of Lingnan region had sailed to Sri Lanka. In the Tang and Song dynasties, a shipping route of over 14,000 kilometers was established, allowing people to travel to as far as the Persian Gulf. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, several ocean-crossing routes had connected Canton with many other parts of the world. In the period of Emperor Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, Canton was served as the only port open for foreign trade.Starting off from the Lingnan region, all kinds of flowers found their way to the West, including camellia and Chinese rose, which were developed into more varieties in only 300 years.The ancient Maritime Silk Road played a key role in supporting the selling of locally-grown flowers of the Lingnan region to other countries.
