    In 1975, George Carlin appeared on a popular TV show, Saturday Night Live, with his famous words about blue food. “Why is there no blue food? I can’t find blue food—I can’t find the flavor of blue! I mean yellow is lemon; orange is orange and red is cherry. Where is the blue food?”

    Well, Carlin pretty much has it right—there is not no blue food, but there’s certainly not a lot of it. Fresh-picked blueberries are blue, though they become purple when they are turned into jam. The blue in blueberries—like the purple in grapes and red in tomatoes—is found in nature. But it isn’t a hot color for food. People don’t seem to prefer blue food. Some diet programs even suggest that those determined to lose weight should make their food blue.

    Eating, in part, begins with our eyes. Chares Spence—an experimental psychologist from Oxford University—points out that color can change our taste experience. Commonly, we consider red-colored foods up to 20% sweeter than they actually are; and green foods as being more sour. Spence suggests: human expectations may be influenced by our long history of watching—green fruits can become sweet as they grow up and turn red.

    But what about blue? Except blueberries, much of the blue food we see these days is dyed blue artificially. Food producers argue that artificial color doesn’t do much damage to health. A lot of research shows that some physical problems of kids are related to food dyes—while other studies show no effects at all. Blue birthday cake or even blue-dyed chicken can be served on the dinner table. So what?

    1.George Carlin’s words are placed at the beginning of the passage to ________.

    A. show the author’s opinion

    B. tell a famous person

    C. introduce a TV show

    D. lead in the topic

    2.Which of the following statements of blue is true?

    A. Blue is not a very popular color for foods.

    B. Blueberries are always blue, whether fresh or not.

    C. The blue in blueberries is found unnatural.

    D. People often feel cold when they eat blueberries.

    3.Eating sometimes begins with our eyes because ________.

    A. red-colored foods are 20% sweeter than green foods

    B. our taste experience can be influenced by color

    C. people prefer red-colored foods to green foods

    D. before eating, people watch food for a long time

    4.The underlined words “is dyed” in para. 4 are closest in meaning to “______”.

    A. is eaten upB. has grown up

    C. is changed in colorD. is harmful to

    When you first arrive in Oxford, it may take a little while for you to find your way around. Some of the first things our students do when they arrive include finding a bike (most students in Oxford find cycling is the best way to go around), setting up a bank account, getting their computer and mobile phone working, finding their department, getting to know their college and working out the best places to socialize.

    One of the major events you will experience shortly after “coming up” to Oxford is matriculation. Matriculation is held at the University’s Sheldonian Theatre and is the ceremony at which you are formally admitted to the university.

    International students are invited to an orientation day at the start of the academic year. Sessions run throughout the day that will give you practical information about living and studying in the UK and introduce you to other graduate students from all over the world who are starting their studies at Oxford at the same time as you, as well as to current Oxford graduate students and staff who will be able to help and advise you. The day covers topics such as studying and learning in the Oxford system, University services, information on living in Britain and cultural differences, as well as addressing practical issues such as employment, immigration and visas, health and safety. You can choose which talks to attend and at the end of the day there is a social hour so you can meet fellow students.

    Another good thing to experience early is college dining. Most colleges have a tradition of regular formal hall dinners, which consist of three or four courses, and the atmosphere of an evening out in a nice restaurant. On some of these occasions you can invite people around to your college for dinner and then they may return the favor. In this way, you can get to know people studying your own and other subjects at the same time as visiting many of the historical college grounds and dining halls.

    1.For a newcomer to Oxford, what does he have to do first?

    A. To work out what to major in.

    B. To open a qq account.

    C. To get a bike to go around.

    D. To buy a new mobile phone.

    2.What is matriculation?

    A. A special day for International students to start academic year.

    B. A ceremony when students are formally admitted to Oxford.

    C. Performances held at the Sheldonian Theatre.

    D. The best places to socialize.

    3.Which talk can students attend on the orientation day?

    A. Studying in the Cambridge system.

    B. Talks on how to meet fellow students.

    C. Practical issues like employment, immigration, and health.

    D. University services about the life in Britain and cultural similarities.

    4.What does the underlined part in paragraph 4 probably mean?

    A. Treating you to dinner.

    B. Visiting historic college in return.

    C. Studying the subjects with your friend.

    D. Showing you around the college.

    I’m a travel lover. I think it is very exciting to go to new places, experience different situations and see new things. Here’s what I have come up with about why my travel is so interesting.

    To start with, whether we know it or not, every day is filled with anxiety about things that we don’t need to worry about in the first place. Going to new places is a good chance to escape from our everyday worries. For example, after a whole day at work, I’m often physically and mentally tired and start to worry about things. However, the moment I get on the train or bus to my next destination（目的地） I forget all my tiredness and worries.

    Next is one of the most important things in travel: movement. I always take along books to read on my train trips, but in the end, only about five pages or so ever get read, because I just look at things out of the window. Just the ability to move is very enjoyable. Movement also means that we are going to new places and seeing new things. But why is that important? Because experiencing new situations, people and ideas can help us to learn about new things and grow. I have never gone on a trip and come back as the same person; I have always changed and grown through travel.

    So take every type of trip you can, at every chance you get, and you will not only experience more of the world, but will become a happier person with rich experiences.

    1.The passage is mainly about ________.

    A. how to have a comfortable life

    B. how to prepare for a trip

    C. why travel is so exciting

    D. why some people are tired of travelling

    2.Why doesn’t the author read much on train trips?

    A. Because he doesn’t like reading on the train

    B. Because his attention was taken away by the beautiful view.

    C. Because he is too busy working to read.

    D. Because he is so tired that he can’t read.

    3.People who travel to new places will ________.

    ①learn new things ②become happier

    ③get more experiences ④have more chances to read

    A. ①②③④ B. ①②④ C. ②③④ D. ①②③

    4.The author develops the passage mainly by ________.

    A. giving explanations

    B. giving examples

    C. listing number

    D. following the natural time order

    Tone of voice is very important in human conversation. A person might use words that communicate one message and a tone that shows something very different. This possibility for confusion is one reason that businessmen encourage discussing things in person, rather than through email, as tone cannot be determined in the written form.

    The same rule is true with children. Children as young as a few months respond to a change in voice. It has been recorded that babies prefer to hear a story read by their own mother rather than another woman whom they do not know.

    Have you ever talked to someone who had little or no changes in their voice no matter what you were discussing? Think of the teacher or professor you had in the past that spoke in a monotone manner for the entirelecture. It is very boring and difficult to become interested in the topic.

    Parents should make an active effort to communicate with your child. If your child figures out how to open a box he or she has been struggling with and says “YES!” with pride in his or her voice, your response should be happy and excited (something encouraging, like “You did it!”). If you plainly said the same thing, you would not be matching the tone of your child.

    This applies to feelings that the child may express in everyday situations as well. If a child argues with a friend, your response should not be said in a high voice or with a smile. Seriously and sincerely you should say “You look sad” or “That must have been hard for you”.

    The tone of your voice expresses understanding, acknowledgement, connection and several other healthy things to your child. Although your words are very important, equally important is the tone with which you say those words.

    1.What’s the purpose of the first paragraph?

    A. To tell us that our tone of voice is as important as the words we say.

    B. To tell us that businessmen prefer to talk in person.

    C. To lead to the topic of the passage.

    D. To advise us to use different tones of voice correctly.

    2.The underlined word “monotone” in the 3rd paragraph probably means a(n) ________ tone.

    A. slowB. unchangingC. coldD. high

    3.When communicating with their children, what are parents advised to do?

    A. To hide their feelings with different tones of voice.

    B. To use a tone of voice that can match their children’s feelings.

    C. Not to speak to their children in a low voice.

    D. To train their children to express their feelings by tone of voice.

    Life is not easy in senior high school. You’ve got the pressure of studies and exams.

    From time to time, you may feel depressed and frustrated. When depression strikes, you have to take measures to fight it. One of the strangest ways to fight depression is to eat salt, scientists have found.

    Salt acts as a natural anti-depressant (抗抑郁剂), researchers say. While too much can lead to high blood pressure and heart disease, not enough can cause “psychological(心理的) depressions”, a study has reported.

    The study, by researchers at the University of Iowa in the US, discovered that when rats are deficient in salt, they don’t do activities they normally enjoy.

    The recommended daily salt intake for an adult is four grams, although experts say the body needs only half as much.

    However, most adults in the developed world consume（消耗）around ten grams a day, mainly because their diets contain high salt amounts. Today, 77 percent of US salt intake comes from processed and restaurant foods, like frozen dinners and fast food.

    The minerals in salt are required by the body—in small quantities—to help move liquid in and out of cells. But too much can cause diseases, for example high blood pressure.

    Today scientists are finding that salt is an addictive substance—almost like a drug.

    One sign of addiction is using a substance even when it’s known to be harmful. Many people are told to eat less salt due to health concerns, but they have trouble doing so because they like the taste and find low-salt foods tasteless.

    Humans have a long history of eating salt. In the Stone Age, people didn’t need to find salt, because they hunted most of their food, and ate a lot of red meat, which has plenty of salt in it. But when people began to farm, about 10,000 BC, they started to eat mainly grains like rice and wheat, and very little meat. Then they had to find another way to get salt.

    1.What does the underlined word "deficient" in the fourth paragraph mean?

    A. enoughB. far from enough

    C. more than enoughD. plenty

    2.The major role of salt is to ________.

    A. help the body work well

    B. help fight against depression

    D. help people get rid of an addiction to drugs

    D. help people enjoy sugary substances

    3.Which of the following statements is true?

    A. People have trouble reducing salt because they don't know it is harmful to eat too much of it.

    B. Before 10,000 BC, human beings did not need salt.

    C. The richer the country is, the more salt is eaten there.

    D. Taking more than 4 grams of salt a day can be harmful for an adult's health.

    4.What kind of food should people eat more of?

    A. Frozen foodB. Fast food

    C. Red meatD. Low-salt food
