题目列表(包括答案和解析)

阅读理解。
     Israel was happy, very happy. The news of a deal to bring home the kidnapped soldier Gilad Shalit ,
a young man held prisoner by Hamas for five years,spread.
     But the happiness was hardened by the reality of the price Israelis had paid to set him free. The 1,027 Palestinian prisoners to be exchanged for the single Israeli corporal turned out to include men and women
convicted (宣判有罪) of some of the worst terrorist attacks in the country.
     "Ambivalent," says Aya Ilouz, of her feelings on the matter. Strolling in downtown Jerusalem with her
husband Liron and their 5-month-old daughter Yael, the couple is so in sync on the question of the day
that they finish each other's thoughts.
     "Yes," says Liron, "we are very happy and excited to see Gilad meet his family. And on the other
hand-"
     "We are very concerned," says Aya.
     "About what happens next," Liron explains. "When the next terrorist blows himself up, someone will
have to answer."
     Just around the corner, on King George Street, Alan Bauer had been walking home with his son on
March 21, 2002, when a Palestinian man named Mohammad Hashaika exploded a suicide vest packed
with metal scraps. Eighty-four people were wounded that day. Of the three killed, one was a woman
pregnant with twins.
     Though the bomber of course died, Israeli courts convicted the two women who drove him to the site
of the bombing, easing his way past the Israeli checkpoint by buying flowers to carry in the Mother's Day
crowd.
     "These women, as I speak, are being released," Bauer says.
     Specifics have a way of weakening the joy of Shalit's release. Among the 477 prisoners released on
Tuesday, in the first phase of the exchange, are an organizer of the 2002 Passover bombing that killed 30
people; a woman who developed an online relationship with a lovesick Israeli youth she then had
murdered when he came to meet her; and the man who proudly displayed his bloody hands to the mob
(暴民) gathered outside the Ramallah building where two Israeli soldiers were beaten to death after
making a wrong turn onOct. 12, 2000.
     When the list became public, relatives of terrorism victims appealed, without success, to Israel's
supreme court to prevent the prisoner exchange. The court hearing was interrupted repeatedly by upset
survivors, including Shvuel Schijveschuurder, who lost five of his family members in a 2001 attack at a
Jerusalem Sbarro. To protest the release of the woman who drove the suicide bomber to the pizza
restaurant, Schijveschuurder poured paint on a memorial to Yitzhak Rabin, the Prime Minister slain by an
Israeli extremist for signing the Oslo Accords.
     "When we say 1,027 prisoners will be released, it's abstract, it doesn't mean anything," says Eliad
Moreh Rosenberg, who was wounded in the 2002 terrorism bombing at the Hebrew University cafeteria. "But for victims of terror, it's a reality."
     Israeli officials calculate that 60% of those released resume terrorism attacks. To help prevent that
resumption this time around, Israel insisted that most of the prisoners liberated be sent either to the Gaza
Strip - which is sealed off from Israel and under the control of Hamas, which says it continues to observe
a cease-fire - or into exile (流放) in Turkey, Qatar or Syria. About 100 arrived in the West Bank, where
the government led by Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas works diligently to suppress
terrorism, cooperating with Israeli intelligence and military.
     With the future uncertain, on Tuesday, Jewish Israelis stopped and stared at televisions wherever they
came upon them. On the sidewalk at midmorning outside the 24-hour Hillel Market, 50 people were
gathered under a flat screen to catch the first images of Shalit, looking painfully thin . "It was moving. It
was very exciting," says Anat Rubin, 42. "I just saw photos of him getting out of the car. It gave me
chills." But she says she heard Hamas say that, learning from success, it was keen to kidnap more Israelis
in order to win freedom for the 6,000 Palestinians still in Israeli prisons. "I don't want to see the photos of
them doing the V for victory," she says. "Like they won. They are really releasing murderers. I'm happy
and sad all together."
1. The word "Ambivalent" in paragraph 3 is close to _________ in meaning.
A. happy          
B. moved            
C. contradicted        
D. terrified
2.Why do the Israelis feel concerned about the exchange of prisoners?

     paint on a memorial to Yitzhak Rabin.

WASHINGTON---Think you’re savvy about food safety? That you wash your hands well, scrub away germs, cook your meat properly?
Guess again.
Scientists put cameras in the kitchens of 100 families in Logan, Utah. What was caught on tape in this middle-class, well-educated college town suggests why food poisoning hits so many Americans.
People skipped soap when hand-washing. Used the same towel to wipe up raw meat juice as to dry their hands. Made a salad without washing the lettuce. Undercooked the meat loaf. One even tasted the marinade in which bacteria-ridden raw fish had soaked.
Not to mention the mom who handled raw chicken and then fixed her infant a bottle without washing her hands.
Or another mom who merely rinsed(冲洗) her baby’s juice bottle after it fell into raw eggs---no soap against the salmonella(沙门氏菌) that can lurk(潜伏) in eggs.
“Shocking,” was Utah State University nutritionist Janet Anderson’s reaction.
Specialists call this typical of the average U.S. household: Everybody commits at least some safety sins(罪恶) when they are hurried, distracted by fussy children or ringing phones, simply not thinking about germs. Even Anderson made changes in her kitchen after watching the tapes.
The Food and Drug Administration funded Anderson’s $50,000 study to detect how cooks slip up. The goal is to improve consumers’ knowledge of how to protect themselves from the food poisoning that strikes 76 million Americans each year.
“One of the great barriers in getting people to change is they think they’re doing such a good job already,” said FDA consumer research chief Alan Levy.
Surveys show most Americans blame restaurants for food-borne illnesses. Asked if they follow basic bacteria-fighting tips---listed on the Internet at www.fightbac.org---most insist they’re careful in their kitchens.
Levy says most food poisonings probably occur at home. The videotapes suggest why. People have no idea that they’re messing up, Anderson said. “You just go in the kitchen, and it’s something you don’t think about.”
She described preliminary(初步的) study results at a food meeting last week. Having promised the families anonymity, she didn’t show the tapes.
For $50 and free groceries, families agreed to be filmed. Their kitchens looked clean and presumably(perhaps) they were on their best behavior, but they didn’t know it was a safety study. Hoping to see real-life hygiene, scientists called the experiment “market research” on how people cooked a special recipe.
Scientists bought ingredients for a salad plus either Mexican meat loaf, marinaded halibut or herb-breaded chicken breasts with mustard sauce---recipes designed to catch safety slip-ups.
Cameras started rolling as the cooks put away the groceries.
There was mistake No. 1: Only a quarter stored raw meat and seafood on the refrigerator’s bottom shelf so other foods don’t get contaminated(污染) by dripping juices.
Mistake No. 2: Before starting to cook, only 45 percent washed their hands. Of those, 16 percent didn’t use soap. You’re supposed to wash hands often while cooking, especially after handling raw meat. But on average, each cook skipped seven times that Anderson said they should have washed. Only a third consistently used soap---many just rinsed and wiped their hands on a dish towel. That dish towel became Anderson’s nightmare. Using paper towels to clean up raw meat juice is safest. But dozens wiped the countertop(台面板) with that cloth dish towel---further spreading germs the next time they dried their hands.
Thirty percent didn’t wash the lettuce; others placed salad ingredients on meat-contaminated counters.
Scientists checked the finished meal with thermometers, and Anderson found “alarming” results: 35 percent who made the meat loaf undercooked it, 42 percent undercooked the chicken and 17 percent undercooked the fish.
Must you use a thermometer? Anderson says just because the meat isn’t pink doesn’t always mean it got hot enough to kill bacteria.
Anderson’s study found gaps in food-safety campaigns. FDA’s “Fight Bac” antibacterial program doesn’t stress washing vegetables. Levy calls those dirty dish towels troubling; expect more advice stressing paper towels.
Anderson’s main message: “If people would simply wash their hands and clean food surfaces after handling raw meat, so many of the errors would be taken care of.”

New rules for pubs and clubs, including a ban (禁令) on drinking games like the awful "dentist's chair", will be introduced in Britain this year to prevent the heavy drinking culture, which costs the country billions of pounds a year.

Other activities like "all you can drink for 10 pounds ", "women drink free" nights and speed drinking competitions will also be banned.

But, on the other hand, offers of cheap alcohol in supermarkets will not be affected, which is widely regarded as one of the main sources of Britain's problems with under-age and over-drinking.

Doctors and health experts argue that the government has failed to use its most effective weapon, the taxation(征税) of minimum price controls on alcohol.

Home Secretary Alan Johnson said that the government and the industry had a duty to act on heavy drinking." These bans have a real impact on society, not to mention the lives of those who just want to enjoy a good night out," he said.

“The dentist's chair”, where drinks are poured directly into the mouth by others, was made famous by the celebrations of footballer Paul Gascoigne at Euro '96. That game and others that promote large consumption will be banned from April and publicans (酒店老板) will have to ensure free tap water is made available to the drinkers.

The government says over-drinking costs Britain up to 12 billion pounds a year and has announced that any pubs that go against the new mandatory code (强制性规定) will face severe punishment. For instance, publicans and vendors (小贩) could lose their licenses, be fined up to 20,000 pounds ($32,750) or face six months in prison.

1.New rules for pubs and clubs will be introduced in Britain to ban heavy drinking because ________.

A.people drink too much without paying taxes

B.drinking games are infamous

C.drinking competitions are very crazy

D.drinking in the country costs too much

2.Some people believe when the tough new rules come into effect, ________.

A.supermarkets will stop selling alcohol in low prices

B.“women drink free” nights will not be closed

C.over-drinking will still not be stopped

D.under-age people will not continue drinking

3.What is probably the most effective way to control alcohol?

A.bans             B.education         C.force             D.taxation

4.According to the passage, “the dentist’s chair” is ________.

A.a chair for the patient whose teeth should be treated

B.a drinking game made famous by the celebrations of footballers

C.a way to advertise different types of alcohol

D.to be banned in October this year

5.What’s the main idea of the passage?

A.Heavy drinking will be banned in Britain.

B.Over-drinking will be taxed.

C.Drinking in Britain will be banned.

D.12 billion pounds is spent on drinking.
