AThe Book HiveNorwichAs well as being a favourite of celebrities,this is a front-runner for the nation's prettiest bookshop,with an expansive glass shopfront and colourful art decorating the walls.It's home to thousands of hand-selected titles,with an especially impressive art-and-design collection.Owner Henry Layte says,"The Book Hive is like an old-fashioned bookshop,but it's also contemporary, stylish and fun!"Mr B's Reading Emporium BathA huge part of the charm (魅力) of this place is MrB himself-a former bank trader who gave it all up in 2006to share his passion for the written word.His enthusiasm must be infectious because his staff are similarly cheerful,handwriting personal notes to the overflowing shelves.“You can drop in anytime,”says one employee."And we pride ourselves on championing lesser-known tiles."Barter BooksNorthumberlandUnder the roof of the Victorian Station lie the free-standing bookshelves,homely carpets and open fires that make up Barter Books.In addition to the thousands of second-hand titles in this bookstore,there are more than 40glass cases housing rare books.Visitors can also see the Writers Mural-life-size literary figures painted high up on the walls.See if you can spot Charlotte Bronte and Charles Dickens.Much More BooksShropshireSituated in the market town Much Wen lock，Much More Books is the epitome (缩影) of an antiquarian shop.Most surprisingly,historic buildings,an inclusive and well-thumbed collection, and even a book-finder service combine to make you feel as if you've stepped back a few centuries.Every type is covered,with lots of local-interest titles thrown in.You can even add to your music collection with their selection of vinyls and CDs.1.What do The Book Hive and Barter Books have in common?A.They provide second-hand books.B.They are decorated like homes.C.They have art works on their walls.D.They are favored by big figures.2.What will impress you most when you enter Much More Books?A.The music CD.B.The ancient style.C.The rare antique.D.The dynamic staff.3.What is the text？A.An advertisement for books.B.A collection of book reviews.C.An introduction to well-known writers.D.A recommendation for famous bookshops.BMichael Gonsalves,a chef of Golden Oak at Disney World,has a cuisine concept rooted in fresh,locally-sourced ingredients that originated from childhood harvesting produce from their family garden with his mom to eventually leading kitchens at Walt Disney World Resorts to employ a sustainable model."Truly the whole process starts with menu planning,"he said.Creating one dish leads into the creation of many more through the end-to-end use of products. As chefs, they are always searching for the best ingredients.It is then their focus to ensure they appreciate and respect all that go into each and every one of them.For example,they source chicken that is naturally grown and fed on a natural plant forward diet，no hormones (激素) or additives-that's used in many ways throughout menus from a simple grilled chicken breast to bone soup.Nothing goes to waste.When they do have waste,even if minimal,they shift it from landfills to transform it into compost (堆肥) that's then used across the Walt Disney World property.They also support Second Harvest, a local community food bank where healthy produce,prepared,but not served,meals eatable for human consumption are donated.Disney also works with pig farmers when they can't distribute foods past the point of safety for human consumption.Besides,wildlife reservations love to get the meat because tigers and wild cats can still eat that.Their operations are“on a path to a sustainable zero waste kitchen of tomorrow"where chefs learn the full-life cycle of plants from seed to plate and gain a better understanding and appreciation for the product and their craft.Golden Oak at Disney has millions of bees that produce up to 300 pounds of honey per year，plus those bees help with cross pollination (授粉) of their gardens on a daily basis.They advocatea culture that helps develop not only the quality of food,but an appreciation for nature.4.Where did Michael Gonsalves' idea about cuisine come from?A. His mom's suggestions.B.His dream of becoming a chef.C.His interest in delicious food.D.His labor experience as a child.5.How are the ingredients dealt with in Golden Oak?A.They are grilled to eat.B.They are used to the fullestC.They are divided into groups.D.They are selected by quality.6.What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3?A.Give examples about zero waste.B.Introduce the unique habit of wildlife.C.Stress the importance of natural food.D.Explain the operation mode of the food bank.7.Which of the following is a suitable title for the lext?A.Disney World:New Cuisine RoadB.Michael Gonsalves:Creative ChefC.Michael Gonsalves:Advocate of Food DiversityD.Disney World:Pioncer in Environmental ProtectionCAs winter arrives,the problem of fogged-up car windscreens becomes more pressing for drivers.Anti-misting sprays (喷雾剂)are one way lo deal with such fogging.But they need frequent reapplication. Another approach is to fix within the thing to be demisted a set of electrically powered heating wires.But because of the visual distraction (分心)created ，that doesn't work for a car's front windscreen.Iran Hachler and Dimos Poulikakos of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich have,however,come up with another way of warming something up to stop fog forming.Their new material is a coating ten nanometres (纳米)thick.It is flexible ，easily made using existing processes,and can be applied as a coating to glass or plastic,or inset inside such materials.Its demisting properties are powered by sunlight.In effect ，it is a gold sandwich.The“bread”of this sandwich is a pair of layers (层)，top and bottom,of a chemical material,each three nanometres thick.The filling is a four-nanometre deep golden material.The whole structure lets visible light pass unlimited,while absorbing invisible lights and transforming them into heat.It is the filling that warms the glass.Gold acts as a medium in the heating process.The network will now absorb heat if left in the sunshine.The top and bottom layers boost that absorption.Glass coated with Mr Hachler's and Dr Poulikakos's invention is,they claim,four times more effective at preventing fog than an uncounted surface.It absorbs around 30%of solar radiation incident upon it-which,on a sunny day,increases the temperature of what it is applied to by around 8°C.On a cloudy day,that temperature rise is closer to 3-4°C.But in either case the enhancement is sufficient both to remove any fog that has formed and to prevent new fog forming.The next step,Mr Hachler says,is to find the product's best market.Even though gold is used,the cost of adding this extra one is low.For the two inventors,though,the idea might prove a gold mine.8.What is the disadvantage of anti-misting sprays?A.They have no lasting effect.B.They damage the windscreens.C.They turn the drivers' attention away.D.They are constantly powered by electricity.9.What is the function of the center layer?A.To save up heat.B.To protect the gold.C.To produce electricity.D.To heat the windscreens.10.What can be inferred about the invention from paragraph 4?A.It is useless on cloudy days.B.It is unable to work at night.C.Coated glass absorbs the visible lights.D.Uncoated glass lowers the temperature by 8°C.11.What does the author think of the new invention?A.It is very costly.B.It hits the market well.C.It is highly profitable.D.It needs further improvement.D"Adolescent chimpanzees ( 黑猩猩 ) are in some sense facing the same psychological characteristics that human teens are,"said Alexandra Rosati,a professor at the University of Michigan."Our findings show that several key features of human adolescent psychology are also seen in our closest primate relatives."The researchers conducted two tests involving food rewards with 40wild-born chimpanzees in Republic of Congo.The chimpanzees voluntarily participated in the games to receive food treats.Chimpanzees experience adolescence at about 8to 15.Like humans,chimpanzees show rapid changes in hormone levels during adolescence,start forming new bonds with companions,show increases in aggression and compete for social status.In the first test,adolescent and adult chimpanzees could choose between two containers in a gambling(投机)task.One container always contained peanuts，a food that chimpanzees somewhat like.Hidden in the other one was either an unlined food-a cucumber slice-or a favorite food-a banana slice.The chimpanzees could play it safe and get the peanuts,or take a chance for some greatly desired banana at the risk of ending up with unappetizing cucumber.The chimpanzees' emotional reactions were recorded,including angers,screams,or sticking on the table.During several rounds of the test,adolescent chimpanzees took the risky option more often than adult chimpanzees,but adolescents and adults had similar negative reactions when they received cucumber.The second lest,modeled after the famous"marshmallow test"with human children,examined delayed satisfaction where chimpanzees could receive one banana slice immediately or wait for one minute to receive three slices.Both adolescent and adult chimpanzees chose the greater delayed reward at a similar rate. Human teens lend to be more impulsive(冲动)than adults so they would be more likely to take the immediate reward."Prior research indicates that chimpanzees are quite patient compared with other animals,and our study shows that their ability to delay satisfaction is already mature at a fairly young age, unlike in humans,"Rosati said.Risk-taking behavior in both adolescent chimpanzees and humans appears to be deeply biologically rooted,but increases in impulsive behavior may be specific to human teens.12.What does the first test aim to find out about chimpanzees?A.Their problems of emotions.B.The signs of aggression.C.Their sense of adventure.D.The change in hormone levels.13.What does the underlined expression“play it safe”in paragraph 4 mean？A.Give it a try.B.Take an action.C.Play with fire.D.Avoid taking risks.14.How might chimpanzees feel after getting the cucumber in the experiment?A.Puzzled.B.Delighted.C.Disappointed.D.Surprised.15.What is the finding of the second test?A.The chimpanzees prefer bananas to any other reward.B.Human adolescents tend to enjoy the instant satisfaction.C.Human teens' ability to delay satisfaction develops better.D.The chimpanzees are impatient to wait for delayed rewards.5 2.512.5根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
