18.What did you eat for lunch today?Did you choose this dish because it was healthy,cheap or because it was just very tasty?Are you a particular eater or an adventurous diner?
I love exploring trends in food.‘Fusion cuisine'is not for everybody.My Italian grandmother would turn her nose up in disgust at the thought of tandoori pizza with mango topping but this marriage of tastes is perfectly fine in the 21st century.Chef and food writer Ching-He Huang,who presented a series of Chinese Food for the BBC,is a fan of the movement.She says:"Fusion has been happening for centuries,for as long as people have travelled,but with the Internet,and global travel,the exchange of ideas makes the process much faster."
Wolfgang Puck is seen by many as one of the chefs who made‘fusion'elegant.He got his experience in this aspect in his native Vienna and made a name for himself when he opened his own restaurant in Los Angeles in the 1970s.This European dug into Asian cuisine and became one of the first in a long line of distinguished chefs.He said in an interview with the Wall Street Journal that initially he got negative responses from traditional American-Chinese restaurant owners but he is not bitter."I believe authenticity is about evolution,not repeating your grandmother's recipe."he explains."Cooking is like painting or writing a song.Just as there are only so many notes or colours.there are only so many flavours-it's how you combine them that sets you apart."
My granny's cup of tea would be the Slow Food Movement.Founded by her countryman Carlo Petrini in the 1980s and still going strong,it seeks to preserve regional cuisine and the use of ingredients that are grown locally.Petrini wants to see farmers connected more directly with consumers.
All these trends give us food for thought.We might be wasting an exciting opportunity to wake up our taste buds when we swallow a sandwich at our desks.Tomorrow,why not find an exotic restaurant and enjoy a feast?You dress trendy so eat trendy!

5.Hell for most of us,yes,but all in a day's work for Charlotte Uhlenbroek.She moves as elegantly through the hall of London's Savoy as she does through the Amazon jungle.But while she loves the adventure,she is also glad to be back in"civilization",at least for the moment.
She's just finished filming a TV series called jungle-a demanding 19-week job that involved her exploring the dense jungles of the Congo,the Amazon and Borneo.She says that it was fascinating,but daunting as well.So what was her most challenging experience?"Definitely climbing an 80-meter-high tree in Borneo,when I'm scared of heights!I had to keep going up and up,when a voice inside me was saying,"Down!Down!"I kept thinking the ropes were going to break and send me plummeting down below."
And"down below"was where the bugs were.Apart from the usual mosquitoes,in the Amazon rainforest she was troubled by sand-fly bites."I've had some horrible bites but these really are the itchiest(最癢的)bites I've ever had.At one stage,I counted 70bites on one arm,"she says."Just as annoying were the sweat bees in the Congo.They try to drink the sweat on your face and even the tears from your eyes.The most horrible thing,though,was trying to pull the slimy leeches(水蛭)off your skin.The more I pulled,the more they stretched and the tighter their jaws clung to my leg.I kept shouting,"Get them off!"and the film crew kept saying,"Just a minute …this makes a really good shot!"
Charlotte's journey into the heart of the world's most significant rainforests was an inspiring experience."The rainforest really is like a city.Each tree is like an urban highrise building with hundreds of residents.If you knock it down,you cause just as much disturbance and damage as if those residents were human.The jungle is extraordinary because although it only covers about 6percent of the world,it contains over 50percent of all known animal and plant species,plus lots more that are unknown,too."
Back in London,what has she been enjoying since her return to"civilization"?"I've been having lots of nice,long showers,"she says."In the Congo,the possibility of using up our water supplies was always a worrying thought.And I find that when I've been in hot,uncomfortable conditions for a while,the things I look forward to more than anything else are being with my family and enjoying my favorite meal."

66.The underlined word"daunting"in paragraph 2is closest in meaning toA.
A.frightening
B.exciting
C.encouraging
D.satisfying
67.When bitten byB,a person will feel unbearably itchy.
A.usual mosquitoes
B.sand flies
C.sweat bees
D.leeches
68.A tree in the rainforest is compared to a highrise building becauseD.
A.many people come to explore the jungle
B.the trees are 80metres high on average
C.many trees have been knocked down
D.there are so many living things in it

C.Water supply was always a big concern for Charlotte in the jungle.

13.The World Health Organization (WHO) said that processed meat may be carcipogenic(致癌).Do you still dare eat cancer-linked processed meat?Here are some comments on the website.
Bill (Australia) I'd rather live a short,pleasant life than a long,unhappy one,denying(拒絕給予) myself tasty food just because some experts say it's not healthy.We should all enjoy the one life we have---if I had listened to every piece of health advice I would never go anywhere,eat anything or enjoy life in any way.So,I won't change my habit.I am going to have bacon sandwich,glass of wine,burger,can of coke whenever I fell like it.
Tim (America) Is meat really as bad as smoking:I don't think so.According to the WHO 34,000people die worldwide per year because they eat processed meat.In 2012,8.2million people died of cancer worldwide.That means if you eat a lot of processed meat you have a chance of being among the 0.41percent of people dying of cancer because of processed meat.I'll take the chance.
Helen (Switzerland) The WHO doesn't say that just one bite of meat causes cancer,it is rather saying that people should vary their diet.People who eat more meat often have other unhealthy habits.They usually eat fewer fruits and vegetables and they also often exercise less.
Van (China) Perhaps this report will make people consider becoming vegetarians ( 素食者).So for your health,the environment and future generations,it is not difficult; it just needs a change of attitude.There is a vast variety of other delicious food available to enjoy.
32.What if Bill has to change his habit?A
A.He'll feel unhappy.
B.He'll live a pleasant life.
C.He'll go on a diet.
D.He'll become a vegetarian.
33.What does Tim think about eating processed meat?B
A.Too risky.
B.Fairly safe.
C.Popular worldwide.
D.Very unhealthy.
34.What may be Helen a response to WHO's warning?C
A.Caring little about it.
B.Eating whatever she likes.
C.Varying the diet and doing exercise.
D.Taking a diet without meat.
35.Who have the most similar viewpoints?A

3.Handwriting has existed for about 6,000years.It's one of our most important inventions.Without it,we wouldn't be able to record knowledge or pass ideas from one generation to the next.
Most of us know,but often forget,that handwriting is not natural.It's not like seeing or talking,which are what we are born with.In early America,only wealthy men and businessmen learned to write.A"good hand"became a sign of class and intelligence as well as morality.Most,meanwhile,signed legal documents with a mere‘X'and the presence of a witness.Writing only spread to the masses in the 19th century,after schools began teaching handwriting.
   67  -left-handed students often had their arm tied tightly to their bodies,so they'd learn to write with the"correct"hand.In more modern times,you may remember spending hours learning the correct stroke(筆畫),formation and spacing of upper-and lower-case letters.
But today,schools are shifting the focus to coursework in STEM-short for science,technology,engineering and mathematics.With limited hours and an increased pressure to meet higher standards,teachers are emphasizing technology and tablets and less of the written word.
Technology has threatened writing long before every man,woman and child carried a phone.It came with the invention of the typewriter,which standardized written communication,and that same argument will reappear as technology advances.
I don't know if handwriting will ever die.But today,the growing emphasis on typing is having far-reaching effects.To get a glimpse of the future,just look at the youth.Instead of curly Qs or crazy Ls,kids are using emoticons such as ? or Λ to give a personal touch.
Typing is more democratic,too-it isn't a complicated skill to master.Keyboards are changing the physical connection between writers and text,and people who can't write by hand,like the blind,can now use tools to communicate only by touch.
I suppose it's easy to grieve over the passing of one era (年代) into another.Sure,I'll miss the writing of letters,and the beautiful and well-practiced signature written with a pen.And while some pathways in our brains will weaken with the decline of handwriting,we'll develop new ones as we swipe (滑動) and double-click our way into the future.

66.Before the 19th century in America,C.
A.only intelligent people could learn handwriting in schools
B.legal documents were signed with the presence of a witness
C.most of the people didn't even know how to write their names
D.people would spend hours learning how to write every day
67.Which of the following sentences can best fit in the blank in the third paragraph?B
A.Writing was a means of human communication
B.Writing has always been serious business
C.Schools tried different ways to force students to write
D.Young people worked hard to improve handwriting
68.We can learn from the passage thatD.
A.the invention of cellphones started the decline of handwriting
B.handwriting will disappear because young people write poorly
C.typing makes it possible for blind people to communicate
D.typing is comparatively easy to learn,even for the disabled
69.What does the writer imply in the last paragraph?A
A.The era of handwriting is leaving and that of typing is coming.
B.Letters and signatures are gradually disappearing for sure.
C.The decline of writing has drawn much attention from the public.
D.Our brains will weaken with the decline of handwriting.

2.How many things can you see in the night sky?A lot!On a clear night you might see the Moon,some planets,and thousands of sparkling stars.
You can see even more with a telescope.You might see stars where before you only saw dark space.You might see that many stars look larger than others.You might see that some stars that look white are really red or blue.With bigger and bigger telescopes you can see more and more objects in the sky.And you can see those objects in more and more detail.
But scientists believe there are some things in the sky that we will never see.We won't see them with the biggest telescope in the world,on the clearest night of the year.
That's because they're invisible.They're the mysterious dead stars called black holes.
You might find it hard to imagine that stars die.After all,our Sun is a star.Year after year we see it up in the sky,burning brightly,giving us heat and light.The Sun certainly doesn't seem to be getting old or weak.But stars do burn out and die after billions of years.
As a star's gases burn,they give off light and heat.But when the gas runs out,the star stops burning and begins to die.
As the star cools,the outer layers of the star pull in toward the center.The star squashes into a smaller and smaller ball.If the star was very small,the star ends up as a cold,dark ball called a black dwarf.If the star was very big,it keeps squashing inward until it's packed together tighter than anything in the universe.
Imagine if the Earth were crushed until it was the size of a tiny marble.That's how tightly this dead star,a black hole,is packed.What pulls the star in toward its center with such power?It's the same force that pulls you down when you jump-the force called gravity.A black hole is so tightly packed that its gravity sucks in everything-even light.The light from a black hole can never come back to your eyes.That's why you see nothing but blackness.
So the next time you stare up at the night sky,remember:there's more in the sky than meets the eye!Scattered in the silent darkness are black holes-the great mystery of space.
 
66.According to the article,what causes a star to die?D
A.As it gets hotter and hotter,it explodes.
B.It collides with other stars.
C.It can only live for about a million years.
D.As its gases run out,it cools down.
67.Which of the following statements is NOT a fact?B
A.Black holes are dead stars.
B.There is nothing as mysterious as a black hole.
C.Black holes are invisible.
D.Black holes have gravity.
68.Which of the following is NOT a feature of a black dwarf?A
A.It is usually bigger than a white dwarf.
B.It is dark.
C.It is smaller in size than a common star.
D.It is cold.
69.What happens after a star dies?C
A.It burns up all of its gases.
B.It falls to Earth.
C.It becomes invisible.
D.It becomes brighter and easier to see.
70.Why can't you see light when you look at a black hole?D
A.For most black holes are so far away.
B.As the star's gases burn,it stops giving off heat and light.
C.As a star cools,its outer layers pull in toward its center.
D.The gravity of a black hole is so strong that it sucks the light inward.
