Given that many people’s moods(情緒) are regulated by the chemical action of chocolate, it was probably only a matter of time before somebody made the chocolate shop similar to a drugstore of Chinese medicine. Looking like a setting from the film Charlie & the Chocolate Factory, Singapore’s Chocolate Research Facility (CRF) has over 100 varieties of chocolates. Its founder is Chris Lee who grew up at his parents’ corner store with one hand almost always in the jar of sweets.

If the CRF seems to be a smart idea, that’s because Lee is not merely a seasoned salesperson but also head of a marketing department that has business relations with big names such as Levi’s and Sony. That idea surely results in the imagination at work when it comes to making different flavored(味道) chocolates.

The CRF’s produce is “green”, made within the country and divided into 10 lines, with the Alcohol Series being the most popular. The Exotic Series — with Sichuan pepper, red bean(豆), cheese and other flavors — also does well and is fun to taste. And for chocolate snobs, who think that they have a better knowledge of chocolate than others, the Connoisseur Series uses cocoa beans from Togo, Cuba, Venezuela, and Ghana, among others.

1.What is good about chocolate?

A. It works as an effective medicine

B. It helps improve the state of mind

C. It strengthens business relations

D. It serves as a suitable gift

2.Why is Chris Lee able to develop his idea of the CRF?

A. He learns from shops of similar types

B. He has the support of many big names

C. He has a lot of marketing experience

D. He knows the importance of research

3.Which line of the CRF produce sells best?

A. The Exotic Series B. The Alcohol Series

C. The Sichuan Series D. The Connoisseur Series

4.The Words “chocolate snobs” in Paragraph 3 probably refer to people who .

A. know little about cocoa beans

B. look down upon others

C. like to try new flavors

D. are particular about chocolate

科目：高中英語 來源：2015-2016學(xué)年四川廣元市高二下第二次段考英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

Michelle was a student at University of California, Los Angeles. She is here to tell us how she feels about the city.

What were the best things about Los Angeles?

One of my favorite things about Los Angeles is the weather. I hate the cold and it never really gets that cold there. Plus, most of the time it’s usually sunny, which is good because I love going to the beach during the summer. There’s so much to do at the beach, but my favorite thing in L.A. was having a picnic on the sand with my friends.

What were the worst things about being there?

I disliked having to drive everywhere to get around because the city is so spread out. Los Angeles has a lot of traffic and sometimes it takes a long time to get somewhere close by just because the streets are so crowded. Also, a lot of people complain about the pollution.

Did you have any problems there?

Just the normal problems of living in any city, like watching out for pickpockets. Some people think Los Angeles has a lot of crime, but I think it’s as safe as any other city. Also, many people think driving is difficult because there is a lot of traffic and road rage (路怒癥), but it just takes a little practice and a lot of patience.

What are the people like in Los Angeles?

There are all types of people in Los Angeles since the city is pretty diverse. For the most part, though, most of the people are friendly, calm and relaxed. Some people say that everyone in Los Angeles is beautiful, but I think that’s just a stereotype.

Would you go back to Los Angeles?

Certainly. Los Angeles is one of my favorite cities in the world. I love the fact that it has all the nightlife and shopping of a big city, but also has access to beaches, parks, mountains and other places you can’t usually find in large cities. Between the weather and the beaches and all the fun things to do, it’s a great place to be.

1.We can learn from the text that Michelle _____.

A. hates the heavy traffic in Los Angeles

B. dislikes the cold weather in Los Angeles

C. thinks Los Angeles is small and crowded

D. enjoys driving everywhere in Los Angeles

2.What’s Michelle’s impression of the people in Los Angeles?

A. They get angry easily.

B. All sorts of people live there.

C. They are patient and amusing.

D. Everyone is kind and beautiful.

3.How does Michelle find Los Angeles?

A. Safe but noisy.

B. Relaxing but busy.

C. Polluted and dangerous.

D. Diverse and interesting.

4.We learn from the text that _____.

A. Michelle was born in Los Angeles

B. Michelle loved the life in Los Angeles

C. Los Angeles has many traffic accidents
