Tim Richardson,2 famous historian, has created a timeline to show our love of sweets, starting as early as 8,000 years BC. He said, “A sweet thing3(enjoy) during the day can be a source of simple comfort and pleasure cheering us up. People have known this for 4 (century). Throughout history, many sweets have kept their charm and popularity because they have kept up with the 5 (late) taste trends.” Gave paintings have been found of our early ancestors attacking beehives(蜂窝) 6(find) honey

【题目】根据短文理解,选择正确答案。
During my early twenties, to make my parents stop feeling angry, and simply to escape, I decided to live in my birthplace for a period of time, something I'd sworn I would never do. My parents were thrilled. They prayed that I'd come back triumphantly with a picture-perfect bridegroom. That was the furthest thing from my mind as I packed my faded jeans, tank tops, boots, and a photo of my freckle-faced then-boyfriend who was of Scottish descent.
The moment I landed in Seoul, I was aware of how much I felt like a misfit. All my life I had tried to blend into the dominant culture and couldn't. And finally, when I was in a place where everyone looked like me, I still stood out. I took it for granted that I'd feel a sense of freedom. I thought I'd blend into the landscape. This was not the case. People stared at me with curious eyes. I became conscious of my American-girl swaggering body movements and inappropriate dress.
Collecting my courage, I traveled to the demilitarized zone on my own. I touched the high barbed-wire fence that stretched across the belly of the peninsula(半岛), dividing Korea in half. I visited thousand-year-old temples and magnificent palace gates that had survived modernization and centuries of battle. I met with distant cousins who welcomed me with outstretched arms into their homes and related heroic tales about my mother and Halmoni (Grandmother) during the war. How Halmoni had led her young children out of north to the United Nation-backed south. How my mother, at the age of thirteen, saved the life of her baby sister.
I listened with such an overwhelming thirst that when I returned to the States a year and a half later, I began to ask my parents and Halmoni (who had immigrated to the States some time after we did) all about the past. The past was no longer a time gone by, a dead weight. I now saw that it held ancient treasures. And the more I dug and discovered, the more I felt myself being steered toward a future I had never imagined for myself. I began to write. I didn't even know I could write. My family helped me knit stories into a book using Halmoni's voice. As her powerful words moved through me I was able to reflect and meditate on the ridiculous life I had fashioned for myself. I could feel my sense of self rising. This sparked a newfound awareness and excitement. I became a spokeswoman on Korean culture, traveling to various college campuses across the country. “Be proud. Embrace your heritage.” I said to young Korean American students wearing extra-large, trendy sportswear. But the whole time I was lecturing, I had very little understanding of what that self-concept meant. I was merely talking the talk. I hadn't yet fully embraced my own identity.
(1)Why did the author leave America for her birthplace?
A.Because she broke up with her boyfriend and wanted to be alone.
B.Because she decided to be separated from her parents for a while.
C.Because she was forced by her parents to get married in Korea.
D.Because she longed for the travel in her birthplace on her own.
(2)According to the passage, the author suggests that her original expectations about visiting Korea were ________.
A.unrealistic and nave
B.misguided and dangerous
C.ambitious and ridiculous
D.sensible and practical
(3)What was the author's attitude toward the ancient monuments she visited in Korea?
A.She was curious about their original functions.
B.She was astonished at their size.
C.She admired their capacity to endure.
D.She was surprised at their beauty.
(4)According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A.The author's attitude toward her family's earlier experiences changed from indifference to fascination.
B.The author felt extremely free when in Korea because it was the place where she looked like others.
C.The author wrote her family's stories in first person with the help of her grandmother.
D.The author was aware of her own national identity and knew what she was actually doing.
(5)Which statement most closely parallels the author's conclusion about knowledge of the past?
A.It is a treasure that should be guarded.
B.It is often most valued during early adulthood.
C.It can enhance appreciation of ancient cultures.
D.It can help individuals attain deeper self-concept.

【题目】根据短文理解,选择正确答案。
Body language is one of the most powerful means of communication, often even more powerful than spoken language. It is said that our body movements communicate about 50 percent of what we really mean while words only express 7 percent. So, while your mouth is closed, your body is just saying.
Arms. How you hold your arms shows how open and receptive you are to people you meet. If you keep your arms to the sides of your body or behind your back, this suggests you are not afraid of taking on whatever comes your way. Outgoing people generally use their arms with big movements, while quieter people keep them close to their bodies. If someone upsets you, just cross your arms to show you're unhappy!
Head. When you want to appear confident, keep your head level. If you are a monitor in class, you can also take on this position when you want your words to be taken seriously. However, to be friendly in listening or speaking, you must move your head a little.
Legs. Your legs tend to move around a lot more than normal when you are nervous or telling lies. If you are at interviews, try to keep them still!
Posture (姿势). A good posture makes you feel better about yourself. If you are feeling down, you normally don't sit straight, with your shoulders inwards. This makes breathing more difficult, which can make you feel nervous or uncomfortable.
Mouth. When you are thinking, you often purse(噘嘴) your lips. You might also use this position to hold back an angry comment you don't wish to show. However, it will probably still be noticed, and people will know you're not pleased.
Face. When you lie, you might put on a false face. But that expression would crack briefly, allowing displays of true emotions such as happiness, sadness, disgust (厌恶) and fear to come through.
(1)When someone is keeping his arms behind his back, he tries to tell you that ________.
A.he is angry
B.he is outgoing
C.he is cool
D.he is not afraid
(2)If you want to appear confident, you should ________.
A.cross your arms
B.move your head a little
C.keep your head level
D.move your arms a lot
(3)Which of the following movements shows someone is nervous?
A.Not sitting straight with the shoulders inwards.
B.Moving around a lot more than normal.
C.Keeping the arms to the sides of the body.
D.Having the lips pursed to hold back an angry comment.
(4)What can we infer from the passage?
A.Body language can express more meanings than words do in communication.
B.It's not polite to use body language in formal communication.
C.Different people in different countries must have the same understanding of the same body movement.
D.We cannot communicate with others without words.

【题目】根据短文理解,选择正确答案。
Part of the fun of watching sports events is following an exciting rivalry (竞争关系).
But where do all these rivalries come from?
Some rivalries start because athletes spend a lot of time close to opponents (对手).
Other rivalries get personal. Things that one rival says that are thought to be not respectful to the other can cause a rivalry, even if the words are misunderstood. And sometimes, rivalries grow just because the athletes don't like each other's personalities.
Some sports may also be more likely than others to cause rivalries. “Some sports only meet a few times, so there is less chance for rivalries to build,” For example, in sports where athletes perform on their own, such as diving, rivalries might also take longer to appear than in sports in which athletes compete at the same time. But in tennis, players often face each other, and rivalries are more likely to happen.
So do the rivalries do good or harm to the athletes?
Some believe that rivalries can be a good thing because they encourage athletes to try harder to win. But rivalries can also become too personal, taking athletes' attention away from their sports.
Keegan agreed that rivalries often do athletes more harm than good. “They can be a huge distraction (分散注意力的事) and lead to focusing on the opponent more than the game,” he said.
“Top athletes often have physical and mental training that they follow in order to worry less and prepare to compete”, Gould further explained. An important part of that preparation is preventing from distractions, including rivalries.
“The better athletes don't care too much about a rivalry – they try to treat every competition the same,” Gould told LiveScience.
(1)According to the article, which of the following sports is least likely to cause a rivalry?
A.Tennis.
B.Swimming.
C.Diving.
D.Soccer.
(2)Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?
A.Rivalries between athletes may result from misunderstandings.
B.The more often you meet your opponent, the more you dislike him or her.
C.Rivalries mainly come from a dislike for each other's personalities.
D.Audiences easily get bored if there are few rivalries in a competition.
(3)Why does Keegan think rivalries could do more harm than good to athletes?
A.Rivalries could result in physical and mental suffering.
B.Rivalries could cause athletes to worry needlessly.
C.Rivalries could drive athletes to train too hard.
D.Rivalries could distract athletes from their sports.
(4)In Gould's eyes, top athletes ______.
A.care little about their competition
B.focus more on the game than on their opponents
C.treat every competition as daily training
D.take every possible opportunity to become stronger

【题目】根据短文理解,选择正确答案。
Old age may not sound exciting.But recent findings offer good news for older people and for people worried about getting older.Researchers found that people become happier and experience less worry after they reach the age of fifty.In fact,they say by the age of eightyfive,people are happier with their life than they were when they were eighteen years old.
The findings came from a survey of more than three hundred forty thousand adults in the United States.The Gallup Organization questioned them by telephone in 2008.At that time,the people were between the ages of eighteen and eightyfive.The researchers asked questions about emotions like happiness,sadness and worry.They also asked about mental or emotional stress.
Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study.His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of twentytwo and twentyfive.The findings showed that stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties.
The study also showed that men and women have similar feeling patterns as they grow older.However,women at all ages reported more sadness,stress and worry than men.
Researchers say they do not know why happiness increases as people get older.One theory is that,as people grow older,they grow more thankful for what they have and have better control of their feelings.They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.
Professor Stone says the emotional patterns could be linked to changes in how people see the world,or maybe even changes in brain chemistry.
The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children,being unemployed or being single.But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and wellbeing related to age.
(1)According to the survey of The Gallup Organization,people are most likely to become happier .
A.when they are between ages of 18 and 85
