一、阅读理解（共1道小题，共25.0分）1. One of the favorite foods in the United States is the hamburger, a kind of flat round breadwith fine-cut beef in between. The favorite place to buy a hamburger is a fast food restaurant. At fast food restaurants, people order their food, wait a few minutes to get it over the corner, andcarry it to their tables themselves. People also take their food out of the restaurant and eat it in their cars or in their homes. At some fast food restaurant, people can order their food, pay for it and pick it up without leaving their cars.There are many kinds of fast food restaurants in the United States. Most of the restaurants sell hamburgers or other popular foods among Americans. In addition, there are many fast food restaurants that serve Chinese food, Italian food, chicken, seafood and ice cream. The idea of a fast food restaurant is so popular that nearly every kind of food can be found.Fast food restaurants are popular because they show the American way of life. First, they are not formal restaurants. People wear any type of dress when they go to a fast food place.Second, they are fast. People who are busy don't want to spend time preparing their food orwaiting while someone else prepares it. In fast food restaurants, the food is usually ready before the customer even orders it.

一、阅读理解（共1道小题，共25.0分）1. (错误) People have been talking about health for a long time because people know theimportance of it. People's understanding of health also becomes deeper with the progress inscientific research. Recently the term "health" has come to have a wider meaning than it usedto. It no longer means just the absence of illness. Today, health means the well-being of yourbody, your mind and your relationship with other people. This new concept of health is closelyrelated to another term----quality of life. Quality of life is the degree of overall satisfaction that a person gets from life.Why has the emphasis of health shifted from the absence of disease to a broader focus on the quality of a person's life？One reason for this has to do with the length and conditions of life that people can now expect. Medical advances have made it possible for people today to live longer, healthier lives. Imagine for a moment that you were born in the year 1900. You could haveexpected on average to live until about the age of 47. In contrast, if you were born in the year1999, you could expect to live to the age of 75.1. ______leads to people's deeper understanding of health.A. Common knowledgeB. Progress in scientific researchC. Better conditions of livingD. Quality of life2. According to the passage, to people of today, health means______.A. absence of illnessB. a long lifeC. good conditions of livingD. overall satisfaction with life3. The emphasis of health has shifted nowadays because_____.A. people enjoy better conditions of living and they can live longerB. people pay more attention to their physical health, not their mental healthC. people have realized the importance of mental well-beingD. people are inspired by medical advances4. We can infer from the passage______.A. nowadays the emphasis of health has a broader focus because ofimprovements in the quality of foodB. the overall quality of people's lives improved greatly in the 20th centuryC. those who never fall ill are the truly healthy peopleD. those who were born before 1900 could not have lived until now5. This passage is mainly about____.A. different understandings of the term "health"B. improving the quality of lifeC. the importance of quality livingD. people's expectations of a long and healthy life试题分值：25.0得分：[0, 5, 5, 5, 5]提示：[1]B.细节题。

一、阅读理解（共1道小题，共25.0分）1. No one knows who made the first ice cream. Some people think that water ices and milk icesmay have been made by the Chinese between three thousand and four thousand years ago. In time, the dish reached India. The Indians, in turn, may have passed on the secret to the Arabs and the Persians. The Persians called their dish Sharbat, from which our word sherbet（冰冻果子露）comes.Marco Polo, an Italian who traveled widely in the thirteenth century, noted that he found theChinese had long been making ices out of fruit juices and milk. From the fourteenth century on, ices became popular, first in Venice and then throughout Italy.In 1533, when Catherine de Medici left Italy to marry the future King Henry Ⅱof France, shetook her cooks with her. They made desserts the French had never tasted before. Among them was “ice cream”. For each day of the wedding festivities Catherine’s cooks prepared a different flavor of her favorite dessert - “ice cream”.At first ice cream was a luxury in France. Only rich people had the money to buy it. Then, in1660, a young man from Sicily, Francisco Procopio, arrived in Paris. He opened a shop that sold ice cream at prices people could a fford. Procopio’s “ice cream parlor” became so popular thatother shops were opened.About 1640, King CharlesⅠintroduced ice cream to England. He had heard it was the rage inItaly and France. He served ice cream for dessert at a banquet. The surprise dish was a greatsuccess. The king ordered his cook to keep the recipe for ice cream a secret. Charles felt thatonly royalty should be served the dessert. But the secret soon leaked out. Ice cream quicklybecame the rage in England too.1. This passage is mainly about ____.A.
