Starting the day on an egg could keep your blood pressure (血压) under control, research suggests. Scientists have shown that eggs produce proteins with a function similar to that of powerful pressure-lowering drugs.
The research, from the University of Alberta in Canada, showed that when eggs come in contact with stomach enzymes (酶) they produce a protein that acts in the same way as Ace inhibitors, but more work is needed to show the effects outside a lab and in the human body.
Earlier this month, British researchers declared that, contrary to popular beliefs, it is healthy to go to work on an egg. They concluded that the type of cholesterol (胆固醇) found in eggs has little effect on increasing heart disease risks.
Researcher Professor Bruce Griffin, from the University of Surrey, said: ‘The wrong beliefs linking egg eating to high blood cholesterol and heart disease must be corrected. The amount of fat in our diet has an effect on blood cholesterol that is several times greater than the relatively small amounts of cholesterol found in eggs. The UK public do not need to be limiting the number of eggs they eat. They can be encouraged to include them in a healthy diet as they are one of nature’s most nutritious foods.”
The British Heart Foundation dropped its three-egg-a-week limit in 2005. However, almost half of Britons believe the limit still applies.
1.From the text we know that Ace inhibitors are .
A. a kind of medicine B. a kind of protein
C. a kind of illness D. a kind of food
2.According to what Professor Bruce said, eggs .
A. are the most nutritious food.
B. have no effect on blood cholesterol
C. can be included in a healthy diet
D. are forbidden to be eaten in the UK
3.We can infer from the text that .
A. drugs to lower blood pressure will be replaced by eating eggs
B. stomach enzymes mixed with eggs can cure heart diseases
C. most Britons agree the three-egg-a-week limit should be dropped
D. about 50% of Britons think eating an egg a day is bad for their health
4.The text is meant to .
A. introduce scientific findings about eggs
B. introduce a medicine made from eggs
C. tell people how to lower their blood pressure
D. advise people to eat as many eggs as possible

Many countries follow special customs when a child’s baby teeth fall out. Many of these customs tell stories about animals taking the teeth.
For example, Koreans have the custom of throwing the fallen tooth onto the roof of a house so that a magpie (喜鹊) can take the tooth away and bring a new tooth for the child. This custom is also followed by some other Asian countries, such as Japan and Vietnam.
Other countries, though, have tooth customs about other animals. In Mexico and Spain, for example, it is thought that a mouse takes a fallen tooth away and leaves some money. But in Mongolia, it is dogs that take children’s teeth away. Dogs are highly respected in Mongolian culture. It is believed that the new tooth will grow strong if the baby tooth is fed to a dog, so parents in Mongolia will put their children’s fallen teeth in a piece of meat and feed it to a dog.
In France and the USA, a child will put a fallen tooth under his or her pillow before going to bed. It is thought that in the early morning, when the child is still sleeping, the Tooth Fairy will take the tooth away and leave something else under the pillow. What she will leave is hard to know. It is said that in France the Tooth Fairy may leave some candies; however, in the United States, she may leave money.
1.In Vietnam, if a child’s tooth falls out, he or she will __________.
A. throw it onto the roof of a house
B. feed it to a mouse
C. put it in a piece of meat and feed the meat to a dog
D. leave it to the Tooth Fairy
2.From the last paragraph, we can know that in France and the USA _________.
A. a child will put his or her fallen tooth beside the pillow
B. the Tooth Fairy takes the fallen teeth away at midnight
C. the Tooth Fairy will leave some candies to the children after taking the fallen teeth away
D. no one knows for sure what the Tooth Fairy will leave to the children after taking the fallen teeth away

One day my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner and a movie. The other woman my wife wanted me to visit was my mother, who has been living alone for 19 years, but the demands of my work and my three children had made it impossible to visit her often.
That Friday after work, when I arrived at her house, my mother waited in the door with her coat on. She had curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary.
We went to a restaurant that, although not classical, was very nice and comfortable. My mother took my arm as if she were the First Lady. After we sat down, I had to read the menu. Her eyes could only read large print. “It was I who used to have to read the menu when you were small,” she said. “Then it’s time that you relax and let me return the favor,” I answered.
During the dinner, we had a pleasant conversation nothing special but catching up on recent events of each other’s life. We talked so much that we missed the movie.
As we arrived at her house later, she said, “I’ll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you.” I agreed.
A few days later, my mother died of a heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn’t have a chance to do anything for her.
Some time later, I received an envelope with a copy of a restaurant receipt from the same place mother and I had dined. A note said: paid this bill in advance. I wasn’t sure that I could be there; but I paid for two plates-one for you and the other for your wife. You will never know what that night meant for me. I love you, son.” At that moment, I understood the importance of saying in time: ‘I LOVE YOU’ and to give our loved ones the time that they deserve. Nothing in life is more important than your family. Give them the time they deserve, because these things cannot be put off till some “other” time.
1.According to the passage, we know the writer’s mother .
A. lives with her son’s family
B. wanted to invite her son to have dinner again
C. wrote a letter to tell her son about her illness
D. died of a heart attack all of sudden
2.The author found a note written by after his mother died.
A. his mother B. his wife
C. himself D. his children
3.What do you think is the best title of this passage?
A. My Mother’s Life B. An Unforgettable Meal

Elephant polo(象球)
The title is self-explanatory, but elephant polo is more interesting than the traditional alternative played on horses．Elephants make the game slower，and, because of this the field is only three-quarters the length of a standard polo field．The elephants carry two people and are guided by mahouts(看象人)．The player hits the ball and tells the mahout which way to go.

It is believed that the mud has a curing effect，purifying your skin．
La Tomatina
It is possibly the most famous and most specific food fight in the world. If you think tomatoes are only for salads，you are on a wrong track．Just a visit to Valencia，or more precisely，a small Spanish village named Bunol in August can totally change your perception . There，on the last Wednesday of August every year．trucks dump 120 tons of tomatoes in the streets of the town, and tomato juice and pulp(果肉)flow from there.

The annual Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta in America gives you the chance to enjoy a bird’s eye view of the city and countryside．Since 1972, perfect October weather，blue skies and wind patterns have combined to allow balloonists to control and retrace their route thanks to the direction of the winds.

科目：高中英语 来源：陕西省延安市大学区校际联盟2016-2017学年高二下学期期中考试（B）英语试卷 题型：阅读理解
I went up to my mother's bedroom after her death and found a box full of papers. Inside was a letter. “Dearest Andrew,” it began, “there was never a right time to tell you.”
Along with the letter was my adoption paperwork—“Parents: unknown”—and two newspapers. The first described a newborn baby, wrapped in a pink blanket, discovered on a doorstep by a paperboy. The second was from a year later, reporting that the baby was still in a children’s home, yet to be adopted.
It was a shock. My childhood was happy; my adoptive father died when I was eight, but my mother made sure I couldn’t have had a more loving home. I didn’t do anything about trying to find out my birth parents for 15 years. However, there were so many questions. Why did my mother abandon me? Did she get into trouble? I didn’t feel angry with her for leaving me, but I wanted to know more about the circumstances surrounding my birth.
I started to research my history and went on local television news. Amazingly, a man called Ronnie got in touch with the TV station, saying I reminded him of his father, Angus. We met up and I was surprised to see a man 20 years my senior. We arranged a DNA test. The results were positive—Ronnie was my half-brother.
Ronnie told me that my father would have been 60 when I was born. He died before I started my search. My father was having an affair with a young woman during the year of my birth, but she is now married with her own family and I should respect her privacy. I would like my questions answered, but not at the expense of her happiness. “Abandoned” is such a sensitive word, but I don’t feel any sadness or rejection, because I don’t know the circumstances of my birth. Instead, I feel unique.
1.From the passage we can know that Andrew .
A. was wrapped in a blanket when found
B. was brought up in a children’s home
C. served as a paperboy when his mother died
D. was abandoned by his birth parents a year after birth
2.What contributed to Andrew’s looking for his birth parents?
A. Anger. B. Curiosity.
C. Bitter childhood. D. Present poor life.
3.What can we know about Andrew and Ronnie from the passage?
A. Neither has seen Angus. B. Neither is the son of Angus.
C. Both have the same father. D. Both are at the same age.
4.Why did the author give up searching for his birth mother?
A. He hated her because she abandoned him on a doorstep.
B. He didn’t have evidence due to his father’s death.
C. He felt it lucky enough to find his birth father.
D. He didn’t want to put her into trouble.
5.Which of the following words can best describe the author’s attitude towards his adoptive mother?
A. Dissatisfied. B. Forgiving.
C. Grateful. D. Concerned.
