AThe Horn of Plenty is one of the largest natural health food stores within the Greater Hamilton area. We are big supporters of buying locally and we are here to tell you why it is so important for your family, the community and the environment.The concept of buying locally is simple: buy food produced, grown, or raised as close to your home as possible. Not only will your food be fresher and tastier, but you are helping protect the environment and are supporting businesses within your community and reducing pollution.Better for the EnvironmentSustainability (持续性) and global warming are such hot topics at the moment, and many people want to do their bit to help support a healthier environment. Small action carried out by many people can make a big difference. Most materials in an average North American meal have traveled about 1 ,500 miles to get from farm to plate. To cut out a big part of this travel would greatly reduce not only pollution from transportation and refrigeration but also customers‟ expenses as well.Taste and Nutritional ContentLocally-grown fruits and vegetables are usually sold within 24 hours of being harvested. Because they are picked at the height of ripeness and travel only a short distance to the market, their freshness, nutrition, and flavor are kept. Produce trucked in from far away may lose both taste and nutritional content.Community and Home ValuesWhen you buy direct from a farmer or buy locally-grown foods, you are engaged in a time-honored tradition between a grower and an eater. You also help keep dollars within your community.21. According to the author, when you buy locally-grown foods .A. you can see how fruits and vegetables growB. you will contribute to protecting the environmentC. you will become much healthier and prettierD. you are making money from your community22. It can be inferred from the third paragraph that .A. most people support buying legallyB. global warming is the most serious problem nowC. North American food is rich in various kinds of materialsD. the cost of transporting food is passed on lo the customers23. Locally-grown fruits and vegetables taste good mostly because .A. they are picked when they are fully grownB. they art; not polluted by chemical fertilizersC. they can be harvested at any timeD. they are sent to the market at a high speed24. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. The way to keep your food tasty and healthy.B. The popularity of the Horn of Plenty.C. The benefits of buying locally.D. The importance of protecting the environment.BThink for a minute. When your relationship with your spouse (配偶) hits a rocky patch, do you say he‟s lo blame? If you have a had day at work，is it because you have a “hard boss”? If everything that happens in your life is someone else‟s fault, John Miller, personal responsibility expert and author of QBQ (The Question Behind the Question), says you may be teaching your teen to play the blame game.If your life centers around finger pointing, personally, you‟re not accountable—you‟re playing the blame game. Are you late to work only because of your kids? If you‟re passed over for a promotion, it is because your boss is a“jerk (蠢人)”？Thoughts like those are classic signs of the blame game.Parents who constantly point fingers don‟t just do it to their spouses, co-workers and friends. They do it to their children too.Paula Jackson, a mother of two in Atlanta，says she‟s always found a way to get out of things by blaming other people. She‟s found that most of the time the blame falls on her children. “Even if it‟s something I know I‟m responsible for, I‟11 find myself saying, …Oh my kids did this‟ or …They didn‟t do that‟ ,” she says.Miller says when parents don‟t accept responsibility, it causes them to lose their effectiveness as role models for their teens.“As the primary role models fo r our teens, when we behave poorly by blaming and complaining, we are missing the chance to have a positive and powerful impact on our kids, ” he says. “When we don‟t accept responsibility and our kids see that, then they don‟t have to accept responsibilit y. ”25.

They get on well with their children.27. Paula Jackson is mentioned in the fourth paragraph as one who .A. often plays the blame gameB. doesn‟t admit playing the blame gameC. has a good way to get out of thingsD. expects too much from her kids28. We can infer from the last paragraph that .A. parents should take responsibility firstB. parents should never blame their childrenC. parents should not ask kids to take responsibilityD. parents and children can share responsibilityCMUMBAI, India—The children in their party clothes on the stage were very excited when they recei ved the award. And the two of them said, “It‟s unbelievable! ”Nine-year-old, Rubina Ali, and Azharuddin Ismail, 10, were living a very different life and obviously loving every minute of it. The two, some of the child stars of the Oscar-winning Slum(贫民窟) dog Millionaire movie, know the Indian slums very well. Thai was where they grew up, and it is where they will return at the end of their Hollywood dream trip.But before going back home, there was an interview with the host, Ryan Seacrest. During the interview they smiled and repeated their disbelief in what was happening to them. To their surprise, their movie won first place in the Oscars. When the two received the award, it was late morning in the children‟s home city of Mumbai, where family, friends an d many fellow residents of the slums watched the result from Hollywood.“I don‟t really know what the Oscars are,” Rubina‟s mother said. “I‟m just glad my daughterlooks happy, though she told me she missed Indian food. ”“Our children lead a dog‟s life,”Rubina‟s mother said, pointing out the rubbish everywhere, the open drains (下水道) and the lack of education opportunities.In a few days they will be back in Mumbai and back in the slums which are their home. Fortunately, according to media reports, the movi e‟s director, Danny Boyle, has promised to help the children he chose from the slum and make sure they will go to a proper school.The two don‟t need to worry about their daily lives because of the Oscar success of Slum dog Millionaire. But the poverty and lack of opportunity —the central theme of the movie —is always all around.29.

They will travel to other countries before returning home.31. What will happen to the two children after they return to India?A. They will go back to the miserable life.B. They will play in movies as famous actors.C. They will leave school to learn acting.D.

A third group experienced 12 hours of light and 12 hours of dark a day.Then half the winter mice stayed in a winter cycle, while half switched to a summer schedule. The summer mice were similarly split. The mice raised in equal periods of light and dark were split into three groups, one of which stayed on the 12-hour schedule, one of which joined the winter group, and one of which joined the summer group.After 28 days, it turns out the summer-born mice behaved the same whether they stayed on the summer cycle or switched to winter. But among the winter-born mice, those stayed in winter kept their previous schedule, while those that switched to summer slaved active for an extra hour and a half, which indicates that mice born and weaned in a winter light cycle showed great destruction in their biological clocks.The finding is the first of its kind in mammals, and it could explain why people born in winter are at higher risk for mental health disorders.“We know that the biological clock regulates (管理) mood in humans,”said study researcher McMahon.“If the mechanism (机制) similar to the one that we found in mice operates in humans, then it could not only have an effect on a number of behavioral disorders, but also have a more general effect on personality. ”32. How many group of mice are there finally in all in the experiment?A. Four.B. Five.C. Six.D. Seven.33. What‟s the main idea of the text?A. The biological clock regulates mood in humans.B. People born in winter are at higher risk for physical health disorders.C. Being born in winter has a negative effect on people‟s menial health.D. The length of light will influence the behavior of the mice.34. The underlined word “split” ( Paragraph 3) can be replaced by.A. dividedB. tornC. hitD. ended35. The result of the study is useful especially for .A. a job-hunterB. a student in the universityC. a newly-married coupleD. an experienced dentist第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
