阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
I am a vegetarian（素食主义者）．Many people are quick to think of vegetarianism as strange behavior．I treasure our Earth, and since we only have one, we should protect it and the wildlife that lives on it．But that’s only one of the reasons to be a vegetarian．
Vegetarians may live longer, healthier lives．There is a connection between red meat consumption and various diseases．From an economic standpoint, it requires less land, money and energy to produce foods for a vegetarian diet．While there are many benefits to being a vegetarian, only a handful of those who attempt to adopt this lifestyle succeed．
The most important quality required to be a vegetarian is firmness since surrounded by the temptation of meat, we tend to give up vegetarianism easily．Creativity is almost as important as commitment．It’s easy to tire of eating nothing but salad． But with a little creativity and some soy products, almost any meal can become vegetarian-friendly．
Not everyone wants to be vegetarian．Accepting this is part of being a vegetarian with style．Forcing your beliefs on others is disrespectful．Stylish vegetarians should also be able to turn down a meaty dish politely without annoying their hosts．
Being a successful vegetarian has been easy for me, but it may not be so for others．a common mistake is quitting before your body has adjusted to the change．It can be difficult to keep the lifestyle in the beginning because of temptation．However, it fades over time．Another common mistake is quitting because you’ve been misinformed about the nutritional wisdom of being a vegetarian．That’s why it is vital to be educateD． Countless people will tell you that it’s impossible to obtain the nutrients and protein（蛋白质）your body requires without meat, but they are incorrect．People actually need only 44-55 grams of protein a day, and that is easily found in a vegetarian diet．Many meat eaters are consuming three times that amount, which is not beneficial．It leads to diseases．Vegetables can also supply all the vitamins, minerals and nutrients your body needs．However, if you’re still not convinced, you can take a multi-vitamin．
1.According to the passage, being a vegetarian helps ______．
A． protect the wildlife
B． free people from diseases
C． rid people from strange behaviors

B． Many people quit because they’re poorly educated about nutrition．
C． Consuming 150 grams protein a day can be harmful．

Technology is making life easier for some dairy farmers. They use robotic systems to milk their cows. Cows are trained to follow a series of paths that lead to milking stations. Only one cow at a time can enter a station.
Once inside，the cow is rewarded with food. As the cow eats，a robotic arm cleans and connects the animal to the milking machine. A few minutes later，milking is complete. The gate is opened，the cow is released and the next cow enters.
The robotic systems are designed to operate 24 hours a day. The cows get to decide when they want to be milked. Cows are milked an average of about three times a day. Some are milked four to six times a day.
The cows wear collars around their necks that identify them to the system. A computer keeps records on their eating and milking. A cow is released from the station if the computer decides it should not be milked.
The automated system also measures the temperature and color of freshly produced milk. Milk is thrown away if it does not pass the tests.
Professor Plaut believes the systems will appeal especially to the next generation of farmers. She means young people who are more interested in technology and less interested in working all the time on the farm. Still，she says the price of robotic milking systems will continue to limit their use.
Doug and Tina Suhr have more than 100 cows on their family farm. Last year it became the fourth farm in southeast Minnesota to get a robotic milking system. A recent story in a local agricultural newspaper said the first robot costs 175,000 dollars. The second costs 150,000 dollars.
Doug told AgriNews that wages that would have been paid for one employee in five years will pay for one robot. He says the increase in milk production reaches a high of more than six kilograms per cow per day.
1.According to Doug，what is the wage of an employee per year?
A．$150,000～$175,000. B．$150,000～$30,000.
C．$30,000～$35,000. D．over $75,000.
2.Besides milking cows，the robotic system also can ________.
A．judge the quality of fresh milk
B．keep fresh milk for two weeks
C．adjust the temperature of milking stations
D．improve the appetite of cows
3.Why is the robotic system not popular now?
A．Because it usually causes the waste of milk.
B．Because it is difficult to learn how to use it.
C．Because young people have no interest in it.
D．Because people can't afford to buy it.
4.From the first paragraph，we can infer ________.
A．cows can be raised by robots in the future
B．robots direct cows into milking stations
C．the robotic system is designed to reduce labor
D．cows are kept clean by robots on some farms

Winter begins in the north on December 22nd. People and animals have been doing what they always do to prepare for the cold months. Squirrels, for example, have been busy gathering nuts from trees. Well, scientists have been busy gathering information about what the squirrels do with the food they collect.
They examined differences between red squirrels and gray squirrels in the American state of Indiana. The scientists wanted to know how these differences could affect the growth of black walnut trees. The black walnut is the nut of choice for both kinds of squirrels. The black walnut tree is also a central part of some hardwood forests.
Rob Swihart of Purdue University did the study with Jake Goheen, a former Purdue student now at the University of New Mexico. The two researchers estimate that several times as many walnuts grow when gathered by gray squirrels as compared to red squirrels. Gray squirrels and red squirrels do not store nuts and seeds in the same way. Gray squirrels bury nuts one at a time in a number of places. But they seldom remember where they buried every nut. So some nuts remain in the ground. Conditions are right for them to develop and grow in the following spring. Red squirrels, however, store large groups of nuts above ground. Professor Swihart calls “death traps for seeds”.
Gray squirrels are native to Indiana. But Professor Swihart says their numbers began to decrease as more forests were cut for agriculture. Red squirrels began to spread through the state during the past century.
The researchers say red squirrels are native to forests that stay green all year, unlike walnut trees. They say the cleaning of forest land for agriculture has helped red squirrels invade Indiana. Jake Goheen calls them a sign of an environmental problem more than a cause.
1.The study done by Rob Swihart and Jake Goheen is to ________.
A. find out the living conditions for squirrels
B. do something to get rid of squirrels
C. save the forests in the American state of Indiana
D. learn squirrels’ influence on black walnut trees
2. The difference between gray squirrels and red squirrels mainly lies in ________.
A. the way they store the walnuts
B. the way they gather the walnut
C. the number of the nuts they can collect
D. the fact that the gray squirrels have a bad memory
3. When Professor Swihart says “death traps for seeds”, he actually means that ________.
A. red squirrels eat more nuts than gray squirrels
B. nuts above the ground will not develop into plants
C. gray squirrels and red squirrels will have severe fights
D. seeds can be traps for other animals in the forest
4.According to the passage, which of the following is true?
A. Gray squirrels do more harm to the forest than red squirrels.
B. Red squirrels and gray squirrels have helped the spread of walnut trees.
C. Human beings should bear some responsibility for the decreasing number of gray squirrels.
D. The cleaning of forest land benefits gray squirrels directly.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
The stories we share with one another are important． They show wisdom and provide inspiration． They are important to our development． But sometimes people choose not to tell.
Consider the negative effects of not sharing a story in the news: People are wondering if public health officials are holding back too much information about the recent outbreak of Ebola.
There is a danger in holding back stories that ought to be told． Bobette Buster said it like this, “The fact is, history has shown us that stories not told can become like a dangerous genie (妖怪) left in a bottle． When they are finally uncorked, their power to destroy is set free.”
There are a number of reasons why we hide parts of our story: they often show our weaknesses or expose our disadvantages; they require courage and strength to share; and of course, there are some stories that should be kept secret—especially those that embarrass someone else.
Most of us have two selves: the one we display on the outside and the one we actually are on the inside． And the better we get at hiding the stories that show our true selves, the more damage we may be causing to ourselves and to others.
Honesty and openness is important: It proves we are trustworthy． It displays we are human． We are not perfect or better．It highlights the importance of hard work and personal development． Hard work may not allow us to overcome our disadvantages completely． But with hard work, we do not have to be restricted to our mistakes.
Does this mean we admit every weakness, every disadvantage, and every secret regret to everybody we meet? No, of course not． There is a time and a place and a certain level of relationship necessary for some stories to be told in an appropriate manner.
1.What’s the function of the example in Paragraph 2?
A． It reflects that people are concerning about the spread of Ebola.
B． It shows the bad effect caused by sharing a story.
C． It proves not sharing a story can cause trouble.
D． It concludes that one should share a story at a proper time.
2.One of the reasons why people are unwilling to share experiences is that _______.
A． story-sharing highlights the importance of hard work
B． people are used to exposing their weaknesses
C． people sometimes have no courage to share their stories
D． some stories make themselves feel uneasy
3.Which is close in meaning to the underlined word “uncorked” in Paragraph 3?
A． freed B． broken C． unfolded D． untouched
4.The writer aims to convince us to _______.
A． be open to people close to you by sharing some secrets
B． share stories appropriately for the good of others and ourselves
C． remove the dangers that can be caused by untold stories
D． realize the importance of being honest when making friends

A new research of 8,000 young people in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior shows that although love can make adults live healthily and happily, it is a bad thing for young people． Puppy love (早恋) may bring stress for young people and can lead to depression ．The study shows that girls become more depressed than boys, and younger girls are the worst of all.
The possible reason for the connection between love and higher risk of depression for girls is “loss of self”． According to the study, even though boys would say “lose themselves in a romantic relationship”, this “loss of self” is much more likely to lead to depression when it happens to girls． Young girls who have romantic relationships usually like hiding their feelings and opinions． They won’t tell that to their parents.
Dr Marian Kaufman, an expert on young people problems, says 15% to 20% young people will have depression during their growing． Trying romance often causes the depression． She advises kids not to jump into romance too early． During growing up, it is important for young people to build strong friendships and a strong sense of self． She also suggests the parents should encourage their kids to keep close to their friends, attend more interesting school activities and spend enough time with family.
Parents should watch for signs of depression—eating or mood changes —and if they see signs from their daughters or sons, they need to give help． The good news is that the connection between romance and depression seems to become weak with age． Love will always make us feel young, but only maturity gives us a chance to avoid its bad side effects.
1.Which of the following is more likely to have depression?
A． Young people who have a strong sense of selfishness.
B． Young boys whose parents watch for their behavior.
C． Young girls who always hide their feelings and opinions.
D． Careless parents whose children are deep in love.
2.What can be inferred from the passage?
A． Lacking love can lead young people to grow up more quickly.
B． The older a woman is，the less likely she seems to lose herself in romance.
C． Early love makes young people keep close to their friends and parents.
D． Parents should help their children to be aware of the signs of depression.
3.What’s the author’s attitude towards puppy love?
A． Confused．
B． Disinterested.
C． Scared．
D． Disapproving.
4.What’s the main idea of the passage?
A． Parents should forbid their children’s love.
B． Puppy love may bring young people depression.
C． Romance is a two ? edged sword for adults.
D． Romance is good for young people.
