    In October 2013, Davion Only made an appeal on the Internet. He had learned that his biological mothr had died not long before. ”My name is Davion and I've been in foster care (寄养照管) since I was born," he said, “but I'm not giving up hope. "

    The heartbreaking appeal spread quickly, and Only's foster agency received calls from more than 10,000 people. Only ended up travelling to Ohio to live with a family. But after Only got into a physical fight with one of his elder would-be brothers, the family changed their minds.

    Back in Florida, Only passed through four different temporary homes over the following year, until he called Connie Going, his adoption case worker, to make a special request. Only had known Going for nearly ten years, and had asked every year if she would adopt him, but she always hesitated. “I always believed there was a better family than us out there," Going said in an interview. But last July, when Only called and asked again if she might adopt him, Going said something felt different. "When he asked me, my heart felt this ache and I just

    knew he was my son," she said.

    So Going, 52, invited Only to start spending time with the rest of her family-her two daughters, Sydney, 21, and Carly 17, and a son Taylor, 14, who she also adopted out of foster care. Eventually, after seeing how well the arrangement was working, Going, who had rented a bigger home, started adopting Only. Only moved in with her family last December.He officially joined Going's family on April 22, 2015 when the adoption papers went through.

    "Today, I feel blessed and honored to have been chosen to be the parent of all my children," Going said.

    1.By making the appeal, Davion Only hoped that

    A. service in his foster agency would improve

    B. his biological mother would come to him

    C. a foster agency would accept him

    D. he would be adopted by a family

    2.Davion Only didn't live with the family in Ohio because

    A. he hated living with them

    B. they finally refused to accept him

    C. he has received another invitation

    D. he often fought with his would-be brothers

    3.What do we know from Paragraph 3?

    A. Davion Only had fun living in different homes.

    B. Connie Going had cared about Davion Only for over ten years.

    C. Davion Only had a strong desire to be adopted by Connie Going.

    D. Connie Going believed she would give Davion Only what he wanted.

    4.After Davion Only joined Connie Going's family,

    A. Connie Going bought a bigger house

    B. the four kids often had physical fights

    C. Connie Going didn't regret her decision

    D. another three kids were later adopted as well

    科目：高中英语 来源：2016年河南郑州高三上学期第一次质量预测英语试卷（解析版） 题型：阅读理解

    Social change is more likely to occur in societies where there is a mixture of different kinds of people than in societies where people are similar in many ways. The simple reason for this is that there are more different ways of looking at things present in the first kind of society. There are more ideas, more disagreements in interest, and more groups and organizations with different beliefs. In addition, there is usually a greater worldly interest and greater tolerance in mixed societies. All these factors （因素）tend to promote social change by opening more areas of life to decision. In a society where people are similar in many ways, there are fewer situations for people to see the need or the chance for change because everything seems to be the same. And although conditions may not be satisfactory, they are at least customary and clear.

    Within a society, social change is also likely to occur more frequently and more readily in the material aspects of the culture than in the non-material aspects, for example, in technology rather than in values; in what has been learned later in life rather than what was learned early; in the simple elements（要素）rather than in the complex ones; and in elements that are acceptable to the culture rather than in strange ones.

    Besides, social change is easier if it is gradual. For example, it comes more readily in human relations on a continuous scale rather than one with a sharp division. This is one reason why change has not come more quickly to Black Americans as compared to other American minorities, because of the sharp difference in appearance between them and their white fellows.

    1.The underlined part “greater tolerance” in Paragraph 1 probably refers to “________”.

    A. quicker adaptation to changing conditions

    B. greater willingness to accept social change

    C. more respect for different beliefs and behavior

    D. greater readiness to agree to different conditions

    2. Why is social change less likely to occur in a society where people are similar in many ways?

    A. They are so conservative that they tend to slow down social change.

    B. They can easily get what they want in the material aspect of society.

    C. They are so used to their conditions that they seldom want to change.

    D. They have similar needs that can be satisfied without much difficulty.

    3. Which of the following factors probably tends to promote social change fast?

    A. Different points of view.

    B. Traditional values.

    C. Sharp divisions in relations.

    D. Similar appearances.

    4.What is this passage mainly discussing?

    A. Two different kinds of society.

    B. Consequences of social change.

    C. The importance of social change.

    D. Certain factors affecting social change.

    More than 2.25 billion cups of coffee are consumed across the globe each day, and it’s likely that many taste bitter.

    Now, a new study suggests that coffee fans can make their drink taste sweeter by simply changing the color of their cups.

    Scientists claim that blue and glass mugs, which are popular in some coffee shops, can reduce coffee’s bitterness, without any need for sugar, and that coffee drunk from white cups tastes the bitterest.

    To prove their claims, the researchers invited 36 volunteers and used three different colored cups— blue, white and transparent glass—to do an experiment.

    In the experiment, coffee consumed from the white cup was found to taste less sweet when compared to the other two colored cups, while the blue cup made the coffee taste the sweetest.

    The scientists believe that the color brown may be associated with coffee’s bitterness because coffee in a white cup appears the brownest and tastes the bitterest.

    “Our study clearly shows that the color of a coffee cup does influence the perceived (感受到的) taste and flavor of coffee,” said Dr George Doorn of Federation University Australia, “but the potential effects may be different between a one-time purchase and a return customer.”

    “Anyhow, the effect of the color of the cup on the flavor of the coffee suggests that café owners, baristas (服务员), as well as coffee cup manufacturers should carefully consider the color of their cups, ” he added.

    However, the idea that color can alter the taste of food and drink is not new.

    A study published last year revealed that red, strawberry-flavored mousse (慕斯蛋糕) served on a white plate was rated as 10 percent sweeter and 15 percent more flavorous than the same food presented on a black plate.

    1. What color of the cup can best reduce coffee’s bitterness without adding sugar?

    A. Blue. B. Brown. C. White. D. Transparent.

    2.The scientists used ________ to do the experiment to prove their claims.

    ① different brands of coffee

    ② different colored coffee cups

    ③ several volunteers

    ④ several manufactures

    A. ① ② B. ② ③ C. ② ④ D. ③ ④

    3.Why does coffee in white cups taste the least sweet?

    A. Because white cups are not as beautiful as other cups.

    B. Because white cups make coffee appear the brownest.

    C. Because white cups reduce the sugar in them.

    D. Because white cups are better used to serve cakes.

    4.According to the article, which of the following statements is TRUE?

    A. Black plates increase the sweetness of food and drink.

    B. Strawberry-flavored mousse is 10 percent sweeter than coffee.

    C. People consume more than 2.5 billion cups of coffee across the globe every year.

    D. People can make coffee taste sweeter by changing the color of their coffee cups.
