But most Americans only see them in the movies. Likewise, Guilin mi fen (rice noodles), for which the city is as famo
15、us as for its beautiful scenery, was something Americans had probably never heard of before. But now this delicacy has been brought to the East Village in New York City.At Yuan, which opened in the East Village in July, the menu is filled with dim sum (点心) and other Chinese dishes. But the rice nood
16、les are what the New Yorkers come for.When the bowl lands on the table, all that is visible is deep-fried soybeans, pickled long beans, scallion (葱) and cilantro, thin slices of stewed beef and pork belly cut like bacon. The noodles wait below, slippery but still springy. Its base is a soup of pork
17、and beef, simmered (炖) for eight hours. Fermented bean curd gives it a salty taste, tempered by the sweetness of dried luo han guo, a sugar substitute which is native to Guangxi.In Guilin, the dish is often eaten at bare-bones (极简单的) shops while you sit on tiny stools. Side dishes, such as pickles,
18、are for diners to add as they wish. Soup may also be added. “Its kind of self-serve,” the owner Mr. Ding said.Here in New York, the polished wood stools are of comfortable height. The room has concrete floors and on the walls are painted characters from the popular martial arts novels of Jin Yong. S
19、oup is delivered to the table as a side. The diners can pour it into the noodles halfway through the meal.At Yuan, another hot product is lao you fen, or “old-buddy style” noodles.

22、reportBOff the coast of Xiamen in Fujian Province, Kulangsu (also named Gulangyu) is not exactly an average Chinese village. On July 8, it was included in the UNESCOs World Heritage List ( 世界遗产名录) along with Hoh Xil (可可西里), making China the country with the second most World Heritage Sites in the wo
23、rld with 52. The island might be small, with just 4,000 households, but its home to many a big-name musician; among them are pianist Xu Feiping and violinist Yang Jing. It also has the highest per capita (人均) ownership of pianos in China. Therefore, it is called Chinas “Piano Island.”“Western classi
24、cal instruments, including pianos, barely existed in China before the end of the mid-1800s,” explains Robin Goldstein, tourism spokesperson for Kulangsu. “Kulangsu, as the home of many diplomats and former officials, became a place where Westerners lived and worked and thus they brought many element
25、s of their culture from Europe. As a result, Kulangsu became one of the first places in China where Western classical music could be played and heard.”3The largest in the world and the only one in China the Gulangyu Piano Museum is hard to miss, thanks to an eye-catching facade (建筑物的正面) that resembl
26、es piano keys. Inside, more than 100 gleaming pianos, including a precious gold-plated piano and an antique (古董的) hand piano, provide insight into the islands musical heritage.The tiny island is completely free of cars and bikes, aside from the occasional tourist trolley buses. Then theres the 19th-
27、century European buildings and seaside road. The beaches of Kulangsu might not quite rival the Philippines, but theyre relatively clean with white sand and swaying (随风摇摆的) palm trees.The hilly island seems to be all pretty gardens that is, until you climb up the 92.7-meter-tall Sunlight Rock, which
28、offers views of the islands red rooftops and of downtown Xiamen across the strait. “Climbing to its top, past Sunlight Rock temple, is great in the evening because the crowds are thinner, and you can watch the sunset.34. Why did Kulangsu become one of the first places in China where Western classica

31、Sites in the worldB. tell us how Kulangsu is included in the UNESCOs World Heritage List C. introduce the Gulangyu Piano MuseumD. encourage more people to visit the beautiful islandCAndrew Ritchie, inventor of the Brompton folding bicycle, once said that the perfect portable (便携的) bike would be “lik
32、e a magic carpet. You could fold it up and put it into your pocket or handbag.” Then he added: “But youll always be limited by the size of the wheels. And so far no one has invented a folding wheel.” It was a rare indeed unique occasion when I was able to put Ritchie right. A 19th-century inventor,
33、William Henry James Grout, did in fact design a folding wheel. His bike, named the Grout Portable, had a frame (车架) that could be divided into two and a larger wheel that could be separated into four pieces. All the bits fitted into Grouts Wonderful Bag, a leather case. Grouts aim: to solve the prob
34、lems of carrying a bike on a train. Now, doesnt that sound familiar? Grout intended to find a way of making a bike small enough for train travel. His bike used to be a huge beast. Importantly, the design of early bicycles gave him an advantage: In Grouts day, tires were solid, which made the busines
35、s of dividing a wheel into four separate parts relatively simple. You couldnt do the same with a wheel fitted with a one-piece inflated (充气的) tire. So, in the 21st century, is the idea of the folding wheel dead? It is not. A British design engineer, Duncan Fitzsimons, has developed a wheel that can
36、be squashed (压扁) into something like a slender ellipse (椭圆). Throughout, the tire remains inflated. Will Fitzsimonss folding wheel make it into production? I havent the foggiest idea. But his inventiveness shows two things. First, people have been saying for more than a century that bike design has
37、reached its limit, except for gradual advances. Its as silly a concept now as it was 100 years ago: Theres still plenty to go for. Second, it is in the field of folding bikes that we are seeing the most interesting inventions. You can buy a folding bike for less than 1,000 that can be knocked down s
38、o small that it can be carried on a plane minus wheels, of course as hand baggage. Folding wheels would make all manner of things possible. Have we yet realized the “magic carpet” of Andrew Ritchies imagination? No. But its certainly progress. 37. We can infer from the passage that the Brompton fold

A. were difficult to separate B. could be divided into six piecesC. were fitted with solid tires D. were hard to carry on a train39.
40、We can learn that Fitzsimonss invention _. 4A. kept the tire as a whole piece B. will be in production soonC. left little room for improvement D. changed our views on bike design40. Which is the best title for the passage? A. Three Folding Bike Inventors. B. The Making of a Folding Bike.C. Progress

You cant help but feel happy right away. _41_ Neuroscientist (神经系统科学家 ) Jacob Jolij, from the Nether
42、lands, found the musical formula (配方) that will put any listener in a good mood.British electronics (电子流行音乐) brand Alba surveyed people in the UK to find out what their favorite feel-good songs are. Jolij used those songs and went on a search to find out what it is about a feel-good song that makes
43、us feel so good. _42_“A feel-good song formula is difficult to describe,” said Jolij. “Music appreciation is very personal and depends on the listeners choice.”_43_ Jolij found that peoples favorite feel-good songs are faster, with an average tempo (拍子) of 140 to 150 beats per minute. Usually, a pop
44、 song has only about 118 beats per minute. _44_ Most feel-good songs are in the major key (大调) instead of the minor key (小调) . Finally, the lyrics of the song are usually positive. _45_The magical formula is simple. If a song has these three qualities, its certain to put a smile on your face right a
