Passage 1
Until recently Chinese food available in the West was basically Cantonese food. When they come to China, the Western visitors are often astonished at the variety and flavor of the products of Chinese culinary art. According to a recent survey, there are no less than 5000 varieties of dishes available throughout China, and each region has its own distinctive flavor.
As a result of long, harsh winters, Northerners have become very skilled in the preparation of dried and pickled foods. The general emphasis is on strongly-flavored dishes. In the western inland provinces of Sichuan and Hunan, food is spicy and hot, with red chillis, Sichuan peppercorns and ginger as principal ingredients. While the East, with its long coastline, excels in the preparation of fish and seafood. The food of Guangdong province is probably the best known in the West, with its sweet and sour dishes and exotic delicacies. In this region, visitors will have the pleasure of trying snake, turtle or even dog. Here the emphasis is on the preservation of natural color and taste, so cooking methods are swift, and avoid using heavy flavorings.
Snacks have also been a distinctive feature of Chinese food. The roadside stalls selling steamed buns and other “fast food” have been in business for a very long time. Now a variety of snacks can be found in every city and all over the city. Many people have snacks for breakfast and side dishes for dinner.
1. Which of the regional cuisines is likely to use heavy flavorings?

Passage 3
Many people are frightened by spiders. They are especially afraid of large, hairy ones. The largest and most frightening of all spiders is the bird-eating spider, which lives in the hot, thick rain forests of northern South America.
Bird-eating spiders are a type of tarantula. They are very hairy. Some of these giant spiders can spread eighteen centimeters(seven inches) with their legs.

Passage 5
The modern sailing ship was developed by a man who never went to sea. He was Prince Henry of Portugal, the younger son of the Portuguese king and an English princess.
Prince Henry lived in the fifteenth century. As a boy he became devoted to the sea, and he dedicated himself to improving the design of ships and the methods of sailing them. In 1416, when he was twenty-two, Henry founded a school for mariners, to which he invited everyone who could help him----Jewish astronomers, Italian and Spanish sailors, and Arab mathematicians and map makers who knew how to use the crude compass of the day and could improve it.
Henry’s goal was to design and equip vessels that would be capable of making long ocean voyages without having to keep close to the shore. The caravel, which he helped design, carried more sails and was longer and slimmer than any ship then made, yet was tough enough to stand up against gales at sea. He also developed the carrack, which was a slower ship. But one that was capable of carrying more cargo.
