So how did Chinese people in ancient times keep food warm in winter without these? In fact, ancient Chinese people used their own methods of heat preservation as early as the Shang and Zhou Dynasties.☆“Wen Ding”, ancient rice cookerOne of the major functions of an electric rice cooker is to keep food warm. The “Wen Ding”, an a ncient cooking container, served the same purpose, but instead of using electric energy, the ancient cooking container preserved heat by burning fuels like charcoal.The “Wen Ding” unearthed in Nanjing in 1989 is thought to be the oldest of its kind discov ered in China, dating back to the Stone Age. The craftsmanship of making the “Wen Ding” was developed in the Bronze Age. The bronze Ding from the Shang and Zhou Dynasties took on different shapes and structures.☆“Ran Lu”, ancient small hot potThe “Ran Lu” is a small size cooking vessel (器皿) made of bronze, which can be divided into three parts. A charcoal stove forms the main structure, with a bottom tray to hold charcoal ashes, and a movable cup at the top. Some experts have concluded that the vessel’s structure suggests it may have been used as a small hot pot and that these vessels became popular in the Warring States Period (475—221 B.C.).☆Bronze You, ancient kettleThe Bronze You was one of the most common wine containers during the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. The Bronze You can also be used to warm wine. For example, the Bronze You with beast mask design, unearthed in Jiangxi Province, has an opening where charcoal could be placed. Just as people today can’t do without an electric kettle, the Bronze You allowed people to enjoy a hot drink.☆Bronze Yan, ancient steamerAlthough the “Wen Ding” was effective at keeping food warm, the ancient Chinese people later found that its burning process produced pollution. As a result, the Bronze Yan made with a two-tier structure and used to steam rice and other grains. After the Eastern Han Dynasty (25A.D.-220A.D.), further improvements to the Bronze Yan led to the modern-day steamer.1. When did the “Ran Lu” become popular?A. In the Zhou Dynasty.B. In the Eastern Han Dynasty.C. In the Warring States Period.D. In the Stone Age.2. The Bronze You, unearthed in Jiangxi Province, has an opening to .A. place charcoalB. store wineC. pour waterD. hold charcoal ashes3. What is the unique advantage of the Bronze Yan?A. It is warm.B. It is convenient.C. It is useful.D. It is environment-friendly.3.Gift buying for 11 to 14-year-olds can produce memories of that classic complainer. “This gift is too old.” “This gift is too young.” “This gift was popular, like, five minutes ago.” Don’t stress.

Here are some of the most awesome examples.1. Freiburg University Library, GermanyThe original library of the Freiburg University was rebuilt in 2015 following the project of Degelo Architects. The new building has 41,000 square meters and looks like a cut diamond. Inside, there are 1,200 workspaces in four reading rooms plus 500 work areas. The library offers in the basement a system of automated checkout machines and 700,000 volumes that can be borrowed.2. Microlibrary at Taman Bima, IndonesiaThis wonderful little public library is located in a Kampung neighborhood near the Bandung airport, Indonesia.

The Bima public library is the first of a series of similar microlibraries that are planned to be built across Indonesia.3.

The new public library, designed by Sebastian Irarrázaval, is a part of the initiative to rebuild the city. Constitución is one of the biggest clusters of wood production in Chile. This heritage is reflected in the construction of this post-disaster library. It’s made almost entirely of wood, and only the firewalls are done with exposed poured concrete. The internal area of the library exceeds 350 square meters. The building was opened in 2015, five years after the earthquake.4. LiYuan Library, ChinaBuilt in 2011 in a small village o Huairou on the outskirts（郊区）of Beijing, this beautiful nature-inspired library was designed by Li Xiaodong. The 175-square-meter building’s interior is spatially diverse by usin g steps and small level changes to create distinct places.

And you must not let anything prevent you from taking those first steps. … You must also commit to the adventure. Just have faith in the skills and the knowledge you’ve been blessed（赐予）with and go.J.K. Rowling, Harvard UniversityHalf my lifetime ago, I was striking an uneasy balance between my ambition and the expectation from my parents who were not rich…But what I feared most of myself at your age was not poverty, but failure. The fact that you are graduating from Harvard suggests that you know little about failure, you might be driven by a fear of failurequite as much as a desire for success.Steve Jobs, Stanford UniversitySometimes life’s going to hit you in the head with a brick. Don’t lose faith…Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work, and the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking and don’t settle.Bill Gates, Harvard UniversityWe need as many people as possible to have access to the advanced technology to lead to a revolution in what human beings can do for one another.

She Walked Through FireOn Thanksgiving weekend, the Heffelmire family gathered for a meal at their home. After dinner, the family went down to the finished basement to relax except Charlotte’s father, Eric, who was in the garage t o fix his truck．Around 8 p.m., Charlotte decided to check on her dad. She walked through the kitchen. When she opened the side door to the garage, black smoke rose up into the kitchen. She could barely make out her father lying on his back, trapped under the truck. He’d removed the front passenger-side tyre and raised the truck on a jack（千斤顶）. The truck had slipped off the jack, and now the whole weight of the wheel was on his chest and shoulders．Charlotte ran to the front of the truck and struggled to li ft it. Eric was still conscious, and he yelled, “You got it! One more try!” She tried again and was able to tip the truck backward just enough for her to pull her dad by the shirt with both hands from under the truck．She dragged him across the garage and 20 feet down the driveway. Then she ran back to the garage, which had burst into flames. “I was afraid the car was going to explode,” says Charlotte, so she climbed into the truck, which faced forward, turned the key, and pressed the gas pedal（油门）. The car slowly rolled out, the metal wheel scratching loudly against the concrete．Safely on the driveway, Charlotte stopped the truck and ran back to the basement. “There’s a fire! Everybody get out!” she yelled as she picked up her three-month-old niece and ran out. Outside, she handed the baby to her mom, and then ran around to the burning garage. She picked up a garden hose（水管）and sprayed the fire while calling 911．A few minutes later, firefighters and an ambulance arrived. Charlotte was treated for second-degree burns on both her feet and face. Her dad had injuries on his chest and shoulders, as well as minor burns on his face. The garage and the house were damaged but the family survived．The Heffelmires are staying in an apartment while their house is rebui lt. “Charlotte is a remarkable kid,” saysher dad. Charlotte, however, simply says, “ I was saving my family and my house. I wasn’t going to let my dad die.”8. Eric got trapped becauseA. the truck slipped off the jack.B. the wheel fell off the truck.C. the front tyre was removed.D. the kitchen was on fire.9. Which of the following is the correct order of the events？a. Charlotte called the firefighters．b. Charlotte saved Eric from under the truck．c. Charlotte drove the truck out of the garage．d.

As a result of the fire，A. the house was not fit to live in.B. the truck exploded.C. the three-month-old baby was injured.D. Charlotte was burned on her chest and shoulders.11. It can be inferred from the passage that Charlotte isA. proud and clear-headed.B. calm and quick-minded.C. modest and easy-going.D. independent and self-centered.8.It’s good to make mistakes, and here is why.First of all, mistakes are a clear sign that we are trying new things.It’s always good to try new things because when we are trying new things,we are growing.If we never try anything new,how can we improve?The simple answer is,“We can’t”.Another good thing about mistakes is that when we are making them,we are learning.Consider this—Edisonfailed 10,000 times before he perfected the light bulb.When asked h ow it felt to fail that many times,he said that he had learned 10,000 things that didn’t work.When we make a mistake,we are much closer to success.Because every time we make a mistake,we eliminate one of the things that keeps us from success.But all this doesn’t mean that we should go through life without considering the consequences of a mistake. Instead,when we try something new,we have to be willing to set some reasonable limits so that in the event that it doesn’t work out the way we want it to,we will be in a position to try again.We all have limited resources—in the form of time and money—so w e shouldn’t blow them all on one approach to a problem.It’s best that we realize it probably won’t be perfect the first time and allocate these resources appropriately so we can learn,make corrections, and try again.Only by accepting and using our mistakes in this way can we make significant advances in our lives.There is an old saying that goes,“If you’re not making mistakes,you’re not trying hard enough.”So go forth and make mistakes.8.

We have become numb to our speed and numb to the road signs flashing by.My family lives on the edge of Lancaster County. Only thirty miles from home，I hit the brakes，and we began to roll，slowly，behind a horse-drawn carriage. We began to open our eyes again．We saw familiar green hills and the farm with the best watermelons. I rolled down the windows, and we breathed again．Just-cut hay and a barn full of dairy cattle．At five miles per hour，you remember what you forget at sixty-five．You are thinking about a place，even when you are moving from place to place．I am a placemaker. A homemaker, too. I am a mother of a young kid at home，and also a writer and a gardener．But，for me，those roles are wrapped up with the one big thing I want to do with the rest of my life：I want to devote myself to prepare a place and enjoy it with others．The place I make with my family is a red-brick farmhouse built in l880. It has quite a few nineteenth-century bedrooms and a few acres of land，and we love nothing more than to fill them with neighbors and friends. We grow vegetables and flowers，keep a baker’s dozen of egg—laying chickens，and，since we moved in three years ago，we have planted many，many trees．Living with my l ife’s purpose does not allow for much trav el. I need to be here，feeding the chickens and watering the tomatoes. Any extra in the budget，and we spend it on trees．But I learned something at the end of our family road trip．Travel can help me in the task of caring for my own place．When I slow down and pay attention to the road between here and there，travel tells me the connections between my place and all the other places．4. What does the author try to express in the first paragraph?A. The tiredness of her past family life．B. Her disappointment at the family road trip．C. The family’s eagerness to return home．D. Kids’excitement at driving fast on the road．5. Why did the author slow her car some miles from her home?A. Because she made a way for a horse-drawn carriage．B. Because she enjoyed the scenery along the road．C. Because she needed a break after the long drive．D. Because she wanted to get rid of a fast-paced life．6. The underlined word“placemaker”in the 4th paragraph refers to someone who_______ .A. devotes most of his energy and time to building his houseB. is ready to help anyone in need in the communityC. makes a creative design for others’housesD. is good at cultivating a place and sharing it with others7. What can be the best title of the passage?A. On the Way HomeB. Never Travel againC. Escape from a Family LifeD. An experience11.假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。

2017英语考前必做基础30题1.【重庆市第八中学2017届高三适应性月考（六）】The summer before my junior year in high school，my family and I took a trip to a completely new world. Being from a small town, I had never really been exposed to a large city such as New York City。

As we stood waiting for a taxi outside of the airport, it was immediately apparent to me that New York City was not the same as New Caney，Texas。

It seemed like everyone there was in a hurry to get to another place。

The loud and constant sound of cars was heard throughout the entire trip. When we found our hotel in Times Square，I noticed that it wasn’t just the cars that were in a hurry。

Everyone in the streets was walking quickly that indicated a rush to be somewhere. Just standing and watching the many people rushing their own separate ways was an interesting observation.In addition to the people and transportation，the buildings were also an incredible sight. Each street was crammed with buildings that were built side by side with no room in between，and a number of skyscrapers were present throughout the city as well。
