阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

At home, ordering food from a menu is a normal, everyday routine. I don’t even give it a second thought. In China, it’s a whole other story! Here, ordering is a fun game of trial and error, and the adventure begins before the food is even served!

Many restaurants in central Beijing advertise “English language menus”, but the translations can just add to the confusion. Although accompanying pictures can be a helpful relief, the translations often make the whole experience even more amusing. During my first few weeks in China I tried some delicious dishes with off-the-wall names. As an experiment, my friends and I would order things like “students addicted to chicken gristle (软骨)” and “red burned lion head”. It was always fun to see what landed on our table. Eventually we learned that “lion head” was actually pork, and “students” are “addicted” to diced (切碎的) chicken with green pepper.

Recently, I came across a busy restaurant down a narrow side street in a Beijing hutong. It was lunchtime and the small room was packed with people sitting on small stools (凳子) eating noodles. I was hungry and cold, and the steaming bowls looked irresistible! I sat myself down and called out for a “caidan!” In response, the waitress pointed to a wall at the back of the restaurant. The wall was full of Chinese characters describing numerous dishes. There was only one sentence in English: “crossing over the bridge noodles”.

I had never heard of the dish and had no idea what it would taste like. I took a gamble and ordered one bowl of “crossing over the bridge noodles”. A few minutes later the waitress carried over a heavy bowl full of broth (肉汤) and I quickly dug in. It was the best bowl of noodles I had ever tasted! I have been back again and again and each time I point at the one English sentence – “crossing over the bridge noodles”. I always enter a restaurant in China feeling excited and a little nervous. Who knows what the next ordering adventure will show?

1.How does the writer find the English-language menus in many of Beijing’s restaurants?

A. Confusing but amusing. B. Easy to understand.

C. Boring and annoying. D. Accurate and helpful.

2.The underlined word “gamble” in the last paragraph probably means ______.

A. taste B. look C. step D. risk

3.The passage deals with ______.

A. the author’s favorite Chinese dishes

B. the fun the author had ordering food in China’s restaurant

C. a comparison between Western food and Chinese food

D. the correct way to translate the names of Chinese dishes into English

4.The passage is developed mainly in the form of _____________.

A. examples and statements

B. comparison and conclusion

C. causes and effects

D. time and description

Men are spending more and more time in the kitchen encouraged by celebrity (名人) chefs like Gordon Ramsay and Jamie Oliver,according to a report from Oxford University.

The effect of the celebrity role models,who have given cooking a more manly picture,has combined with a more general drive towards sexual equality and men now spend more than twice the amount of time preparing meals than they did in 1961.

According to the research by Prof.Jonatahn Gershuny,who runs the Centre for Time Research at Oxford,men now spend more than half an hour a day cooking,up from just 12 minutes a day in 1961.

Prof.Gershuny said,“The man in the kitchen is part of a much wider social trend.There has been 40 years of sexual equality,but there is another 40 years probably to come.”

Women,who a generation ago spent nearly two hours a day cooking,now spend just one hour and seven minutes—a great fall,but they still spend far more time in the kitchen than men.

Some experts have named these men in aprons as “Gastrosexuals (men using cooking skills to impress friends)”,who have been inspired to pick up a kitchen knife by the success of Ramsay,Oliver as well as other male celebrity chefs such as Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall,Marco Pierre White and Keith Floyd.

“I was married in 1974.When my father came to visit me a few weeks later,I was wearing an apron when I opened the door.He laughed,” said Prof.Gershuny.“That would never happen now.”

Two-thirds of adults say that they come together to share at least three times a week,even if it is not necessarily around a kitchen or dining room table.Prof.Gershuny pointed out that the family meal was now rarely eaten by all of its members around a table—with many “family meals” in fact taken on the sofa in the sitting room,and shared by family members.“The family meal has changed a lot,and few of us eat—as I did when I was a child—at least two meals a day together as a family.But it has survived in a different format.”

1.What is one reason behind the trend that men spend more time cooking than before?

A.The improvement of cooks'status.

B.The influence of popular female chefs.

C.The change of female's view on cooking.

D.The development of sexual equality campaign.

2.What does the author think about the time men and women spend on cooking?

A.Men spend more time cooking than women nowadays.

B.Women spend much less time on cooking than before.

C.It will take 40 years before men spend more time at the stove than women.

D.There is a sharp decline in the time men spend on cooking compared with 1961.

3.How did Prof.Gershuny see the family meal according to the passage?

A.It has become a thing of the past.

B.It is very different from what it used to be.

C.It shouldn't be advocated in modern times.

D.It is beneficial to the stability of the family.

4.Which is the best title for the passage?

A.The Changes of Family Meals

B.Equality between Men and Women

C.Cooking into a New Trend for Men

D.Cooking—a Thing of the Past for Women

Twelve years ago, I arrived in Central Florida from Puerto Rico. I had heard of a job opportunity and decided to pursue it. But it never became a reality. I quickly learned that being alone without resources in an unfamiliar city was not a comfortable situation to be in.

Once my limited funds ran out I became homeless and spent a year and a half living on the streets of Orlando. Apart from feeling not being noticed and missing my family, I had to face another challenge—hunger.

For the first time in my life, I, as a foreign man, who had lived my life in the relative comfort of the middle class, understood the desperation someone feels when they don’t get enough to eat. I clearly remembered having run a distance of more than 7 miles on many occasions just to make it to a local feeding program before they closed at 7 pm.

Once the need for food was met, the next challenge would arise—where to find a place to sleep for the night. Fortunately, local programs like the Coalition for the Homeless, Second Harvest Food Bank and the Wayne Densch Center were an important part of my ability to survive my painful experience.

With the assistance of these programs, I was accepted by a college scholarship program through the Coalition and obtained two degrees from Valencia.

My experience has helped me understand that devoting my life to helping others offers lasting rewards. Today, I am employed as Childhood Hunger Programs Manager at Second Harvest Food Bank and oversee the summer feeding, Hi-Five Kids Pack, and Kids Café programs. I am so proud to be able to distribute food resources to those wonderful programs and help hundreds more like me.

1.What can be inferred from Paragraph 1?

A. It was impossible for the author to get a job then.

B. Many local people were out of work in Florida.

C. Florida was not a good place for people living there.

D. The author rejected many chances to get a job in Florida.

2.Why did the author run a distance of over 7 miles on many occasions?

A. Because he didn’t want to be late for work there.

B. Because he desired to get some food to eat.

C. Because he went there to help the poor.

D. Because he helped distribute food resources to the poor.

3.Before being accepted by a college scholarship program, the author_____.

A. had lived with his relatives happily.

B. had won his degree in a university.

C. had been struggling financially.

D. had lost hope of facing the future.

4. From his experience, the author learns that ______.

A. misfortune may be an actual blessing.

B. a friend in need is a friend indeed.

C. where there is a will there is a way.

D. one good turn deserves another.

Personality is, to large extent, inherent --A-type parents usually bring about A-type offspring. But the environment must also have a profound effect, since if competition is important to the parents, it is likely to become a major factor lives of their children.

One place where children soak up A characteristics is school, which is, by its very nature, a highly competitive institution. Too many schools adopt the "win at all costs" moral standard and measure their success by sporting achievements. The current passion for making children compete against their classmates or against the clock produces a two-layer system, in which competitive A types seem in some way better than their B-type fellows. Being too keen to win can have dangerous consequences: remember that Pheidippides, the first marathon runner, dropped dead seconds after saying,"Rejoice, we conquer!".

By far the worst form of competition in school is the disproportionate emphasis on examinations. It is a rare school that allows pupils to concentrate on those things they do well. The merits of competition by examination are somewhat questionable, but competition in the certain knowledge of failure is positively harmful.

Obviously, it is neither practical nor desirable that all A youngsters change into Bs. The world needs types, and schools have an important duty to try to fit a child's personality to his possible future employment. It is top management.

1. According to the author, what factors contribute to the building of personality?

A. Inheritance.

B. environment .

C. Competition.

D. inheritance, competition and environment.

2. The phrase "soak up" is closest in meaning to _____.

A. pull up B. take up C. take in D. pull in

3. What attitude does the author hold toward examinations in schools?

A. positive B. negative C. doubtful D. neutral

4.What suggestion does the author make concerning the management of schools?

A. All students be made into competitive A types.

B. A child's personality be considered in regard to his possible future job.

C. All students be changed into B characteristics.

D. Schools abolish all forms of examinations.

Nature is full of color, from rainbows and roses to butterfly wings and peacock tails. Even the fruits and vegetables you eat have different colors: blue blueberries, red strawberries, green broccoli, and orange carrots.

Plant and animals often use color to attract attention. The substances responsible for these colors belong to a class of chemical called antioxidants(抗氧化物). Plants make antioxidant to protect themselves from the sun's ultraviolet(紫外线)light.

Ultraviolet light causes chemicals called free radicals(自由基)to form within plant cells. They can destroy parts of plant. Free radicals also have damaging effects on human beings. Some of these effects like wrinkled skin can be seen. The damage is caused by the free radicals attacking cells in our bodies. Certain cancers and heart disease are linked to free radicals.

Our bodies have natural defences for fighting off free radicals. While we are young, our defences are pretty strong. However, they get weaker as we get older. The body’s built-in defences can only go so far without extra help.

The key to fighting free radicals with fruits and vegetables is to mix and match colors. It’s like sunscreen(防晒霜)for the inside of your body. Go for a range of very bright colors. Colorful foods contain hundreds of healthy chemicals not found anywhere else.

Research into how chemicals in blueberries affect the brain's function in rats suggests that these chemicals may help our own brains work more efficiently.

Don't just blame the sun. Ultraviolet light isn't the only source of free radicals. If you breathe polluted air such as smog, automobile exhaust(废气), or wasted gas from a factory, you take in chemicals that also cause such damage. And, the body itself produces free radicals as it processes food.

1.Which of the following NOT true?

A.Antioxidants are responsible for plant colors.

B.Plants use color to attract attention.

C.Antioxidants help free radicals to attack plants.

D.Antioxidants can protect plants from ultraviolet light.

2.In which order do the following facts occur?

a .Wrinkled skin can be seen

b .Ultraviolet light causes free radicals to form

c .Free radicals damage cells in our bodies

d .The sun gives out ultraviolet light

A.a,b,c,d B.d,b,a,c

C.c,a,d,b D.d,b,c,a

3. We need extra help for fighting off free radicals from fruits and vegetables because ____.

A.our defences get weaker as we get older

B.our bodies’ defences are not natural

C.we are too young to defend ourselves

D.our bodies’ built-in defences can only go away

4.Which of the following can NOT cause free radicals to form?

A.Ultraviolet light from the sun

B.Colorful food

C.Polluted air

D.The body itself
