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

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.

Joseph Francis Charles Rock (1884–1962) was an Austrian-American explorer, botanist, and anthropologist(人類學(xué)家). For more than 25 years, he travelled extensively through Tibet and Yunnan, Gansu, and Sichuan provinces in China before finally leaving in 1949.

In 1924, Harvard sent Joseph Francis Rock on a treasure hunt through China’s southwestern provinces—the Wild West of their day. But gold and silver weren’t his task: Rock, a distinguished botanist, sought only to fill his bags with all the seeds, saplings, and shrubs he could find. During his three-year expedition, he collected 20,000 specimens for the Arnold Arboretum(阿諾德植物園).

Botany, though, was just one of Rock’s strengths. As an ethnologist(民族學(xué)者), he took hundreds of photographs of the Naxi, a tribe in Yunnan province, recording their now-lost way of life for both Harvard and National Geographic, and took notes for an eventual 500-page dictionary of their language. His hand-drawn map of his travels through China’s “Cho-Ni” territory, in the Harvard Map Collection, includes more than a thousand rivers, towns, and mountains indicated in both English and Chinese, and was so well made that the U.S. government used it to plan aerial missions in World War II.

Scientist, linguist, cartographer, photographer, writer—Rock was not a wallflower in any sense. Arrogant and self-possessed, he would walk into a village or warlord’s place “as if he owned the place,” said Lisa Pearson, the Arboretum’s head librarian.

In declaring his successful return under the headline “Seeking Strange Flowers, in the Far Reaches of the World,” the Boston Evening Transcript ran a large photo of the daring explorer wearing in a woolly coat and fox-skin hat. “In discussing his heroism including hair-raising escapes from death either from mountain slides, snow slides and robber armies, he waves the idea away as if it is of no importance.”

The Arboretum and Rock parted ways after 1927, mainly because his trip cost Harvard a fortune—about $900,000 in today’s dollars. Fortunately, many of his specimens, many of his amazing photos, and his great stories remain.

1.What is the passage mainly about?

A. Rock’s service for the U.S government.

B. Rock’s cooperation with Harvard.

C. Rock’s work as a botanist.

D. Rock’s exploration in Southwest China.

2.What contribution did Rock make to the USA besides collecting new plants and specimens?

A. He traveled through some uncivilized places in China.

B. His hand-drawn map was used in World War II.

C. He showed heroism by escaping difficulties.

D. He made headlines in Boston Evening News.

3.How did Rock respond when people mentioned his heroic deeds?

A. Excitedly.B. Proudly.C. Calmly.D. Nervously.

4.What caused Rock to stop work for The Arboretum?

A. The vast expense.B. The dangerous journey.

C. The challenging tasks.D. The unknown world.
