    1．If you are a book-lover，you may be interested in the following．
    Dietland，by Sarai Walker
    If you're sick of the stick-thin and perfectly slim models of society today，Dietland is for you．The funny novel follows Pl um Kettle，an over-weight advice journalist who answers fan mail for a teen girls'website．She's convinced that her life won't really start until she saves up enough money for her weight-loss operation-when she'll finally look like the"perfect"woman．But after she gets pulled into a series of adventures with a group of women who live life on their own terms，she begins to reconsider her own opinions of what"beauty"really is．
    Orhan's Inheritance，by Aline Ohanesian
     After Orhan's Turkish grandfather dies，he learns that while he's taken over his grandfather's successful business，the house that's been in his family for generations was not left to him．Instead，it went to an 87-year-old woman who lives in L．A．that no one in his family has ever heard of．To get to the bottom of this，Orhan travels to L．A．to meet with the woman．It's then that he uncovers the secrets of his family．
    Sapiens：A Brief History of Humankind，by Yuval Noah Harari
    If the story of evolution （进化） has always interested you，this book is for you．In it，Dr．Yuval Noah Harari explores how，if 100，000 years ago there were six different kinds of humans on Earth，only one lived through to today：homo sapiens．He takes both an historical and biological approach to his discussion of how humans have evolved over time．He talks about the society created by sapiens and cultural wonders．And perhaps what is most fascinating is the evolution of humans．
    21．What does Plum Kettle want before she joins the women in the adventures？D

    B．A large sum of money．
    C．A healthy lifestyle．

    A．The advanced society．
    B．The rise of humans．
    C．The development of biology．
    D．The cultural wonders．

    分析 本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了为爱好书籍的人介绍了几本书：Dietland，Orhan's Inheritance和A Brief History of Humankind．

    解答 21．D 细节理解题．根据文中She's convinced that her life won't really start until she saves up enough money for her weight-loss operation-when she'll finally look like the"perfect"woman．But after she gets pulled into a series of adventures with a group of women who live life on their own terms，she begins to reconsider her own opinions of what"beauty"really is．可知Plum Kettle之前她努力想减肥，故选D．
    22．A 细节理解题．根据文中Instead，it went to an 87-year-old woman who lives in L．A．that no one in his family has ever heard of．To get to the bottom of this，Orhan travels to L．A．to meet with the woman．可知祖父死后困扰奥汉的他们的房子给了陌生人；应选A．
    23．B 细节理解题．根据文章．And perhaps what is most fascinating is the evolution of humans可知人类简史中最有趣的是人类的进化；故选B．

    6．The influence of America is increasing in my country．Spanish people drink Coca Cola，wear blue jeans，watch Hollywood movies，listen to American music，and eat fast food，and they do these things every day．
    I think that American movies are a good way to spread American culture because people are often influenced by what they see in the movies．Most of the programs and documentaries （纪录片） we watch on TV are from America，and most of the movies we go to see are made in Hollywood．In the last few years，the government has tried to protect the Spanish movies．Now，in our cinemas，at least twenty percent of the movies which are shown must be from Spain or from other countries in Europe．
    American culture is a part of Spanish life no w．It's certain that many things from America are as much a part of people's lives as Spanish things．For example，Coca Cola is as familiar to everybody as any typical Spanish product．I've known about Coca Cola for my whole life．
    However，it's different with Western fast food．For example，I don't think McDonald's is as successful in Spain as it is in other countries．In my opinion，one of the reasons may be the lifestyle of the Spanish people．The Spanish people normally eat at home．On the other hand，maybe McDonald's hamburgers will eventually replace the famous Spanish tapas．It's true that in every city in Spain you can find a McDonald's，and it is more popular among the Spanish children than among the adults．In any case，it's obvious that American culture is becoming more and more a part of our lives every day．
    49．From the first paragraph we can know thatA．
    A．the influence of America on Spain can be found everywhere
    B．most Spanish people don't like to listen to their own music
    C．fast food spreads from Spain to the United States
    D．some Spanish actors go to America to improve their acting skills
    50．What plays an important part in the spreading of American culture in Spain？B
    A．American novels．B．Hollywood movies．C．McDonald's．D．American music．
    51．Why did the government set some rules for the films shown in Spain？C
    A．To protect foreign culture in Spain．
    B．To earn more money from Spanish films．
    C．To limit the number of foreign movies．
    D．To unite the European Community．
    52．What do you think Spanish tapas might be？D
    A．The name of a drink．
    B．The name of a restaurant．
    C．A clothing brand．
    D．A certain kind of food．

    13．After the examination，the doctor told my parents my sight would get worse and that I would lose my sight finally．On the way home from hospital，no one said a word．One day，would I only imagine the scenery beyond the glass rather than see it？
       That September，I entered middle school．Most nights I had homework that included an armful of books to read．To keep up with other children，I took great trouble to finish the task．With my nose a couple of inches from the page，I was tired easily．What's worse，after I had read several pages on my own，the words slipped off the page into inky pools．
       However，then I did not have audio books and electronic devices like kids do now．Instead，Mom volunteered to read out loud．Mom worked part-time，cleaned the house，cooked and spent time with Grandma．In spite of being so busy，she showed up in my room like clockwork．She put on her reading glasses．Mom always thought those glasses made her look old．To me，she looked like a teacher．
    In my room，Mom's voice competed with the ticking of the clock．Being forced to focus on listening，I found a way to keep my marks up and compete with the other kids．When the teacher asked a question，I raised my hand with confidence．Teachers praised me for having a good memory．Reading removed my fear for my failing sight，reading also made me curious about other people's challenges and how they managed．Though I could not use my eyes to fix on each page，my mind lit up with every new book．
    True to what the doctor said，the worst came，but thanks to Mom，my sense of hearing now allows me to"see"．This was the most precious gift from a mother to her child．
    24．Why did the author and his parents keep silent on their way back home from hospital？C
    A．They all wanted to have a good rest．
    B．The author didn't do well in the exam．
    C．What the doctor said made them worried．
    D．They focused on the scenery along the road．
    25．How did the author manage to get high marks？B
    A．By being confident．
    B．By listening carefully．
    C．By getting help from his classmates．
    D．By reading as many books as possible．
    26．We can learn from the text thatD．
    A．the author's sight recovered finally
    B．reading made the author more sensitive
    C．the author's mother didn't work to look after him
    D．reading made the author not worry about his sight
    27．Which of the following could be the title of the text？C
    A．My eyesight trouble

    C．With ears wide open

    10．What's your opinion on spicy food？Some people cannot handle even the smallest amount of chili（辣椒） in their dinner while others can't get enough of it．
    Scientists have long been puzzled by why some people love chili and others loathe it．Plenty of research has been done on the subject，dating as far back as the 1970s．Previous results showed that a love of chili is related to childhood experiences，and cultural influences affect our taste buds，too．But the latest study has found that a person's love of spicy food may be linked to his or her personality more than anything else，CBC News reported．
    "We have always assumed that liking drives intake---we eat what we like and we like what we eat．But no one h as actually directly bothered to connect these personality traits with intake of chili peppers，"said Professor John Hayes from Pennsylvania State University，who led the study．
    But before you look at the study，you should first know that"spicy"is not a taste，unlike sour，sweet，bitter and salty．It is，in fact，a burning sensation that you feel on the surface of your tongue．This got scientists thinking that maybe a love of spicy food is brought about by people's longing for thrill，something they usually get from watching action movies or riding a roller coaster．
    In the study，97 participants，both male and female，were asked to fill out questionnaires about certain traits of their personality，for example．Whether they like new experiences or tend to avoid risks．They were then given cu ps of water with capsaicin（辣椒素），the plant chemical that makes chili burn，mixed into them．
    By comparing the answers to questionnaires and what participants said they felt about the spicy water．Researchers found that those who most tended to enjoy action movies or take risks were about six times more likely to enjoy the spicy water．
    Interestingly，we used to believe that the reason some people can withstand spicy food is that their tongue have become less sensitive to it．However，this latest study has found otherwise．It's not that it doesn't burn as badly，it's that you actually learn to like the burn，"Hayes explained．
    25．What's the meaning of the underlined word"loathe"in the second paragraph？A
    A．dislike                              B．fear
    C．put up with                          D．adapt to
    26．What did Professor John Hayes and his team discover from their study？C
    A．what we eat actually helps to develop our personalities．
    B．Males are more likely to enjoy spicy food than females．
    C．Those trying to avoid risks tend to be less interested in spicy food．
    D．People are wrong to treat spicy as a kind of taste rather than a feeling．
    27．Why do some people like spicy food according to the recent study？B
    A．Because their taste buds have become less sensitive．
    B．Because they love the burning sensation．
    C．Because they want to challenge themselves．
    D．Because the more they try spicy food，the less it burns．
    28．What's the main idea of the passage？B
    A．What he or she likes to eat mainly decides on his or her personality．
    B．That a person enjoys sp icy food depends largely on the personality．
    C．His or her childhood experiences decide on his or her personality．
    D．His or her cultural background decides on his or her personality．
