When we were kids, he always created something surprising for us. Today, however,Dad would say no more, and caught up in the business of our new life, I eventually forgotabout his surprise.Until one gloomy day the next March when I glanced out of the window, I saw a dot of blue across the yard. I headed outside for a closer look. They were crocuses (番红花) throughout the front lawn—blue, yellow and my favorite pink, with little facesmoving up and down in the cold wind. I remembered the things Dad secretly planted last autumn.He knew how the darkness and dullness of winter always got me down. What could have beenmore per fectly timely to my needs?My father's crocuses bloomed (开花) each spring for the next five seasons, alwaysbringing the same assurance: Hard times are almost over. Hold on, keep going, and lightis coming soon.Then a spring came with only half the usual blooms and the next spring there were none.I missed the crocuses, so I would ask Dad to come over and plant new bulbs. But I neverdid. He died suddenly one October day. My family were in deep sorrow, leaning on our faith.On a spring afternoon four years later, I was driving back when I felt depressed. Itwas Dad's birthday, and I found myself thinking about him. This was not unusual—my familyoften talked about him, remembering how he lived up to his faith. Suddenly I slowed as Iturned into our driveway. I stopped and stared at the lawn. There on the muddy grass withsmall piles of melting snow, bravely waving in the wind, was one pink crocus.How could a flower bloom from a bulb more than 18 years ago, one that hadn't bloomedin over a decade? But there was the crocus. Tears filled my eyes as I realized itssignificance.Hold on, keep going, and light is coming soon. The pink crocus bloomed for only a day, but it built my faith for a lifetime.21.According to the first three paragraphs, we learn that ________.A.it kept bothering the author not knowing what the surprise wasB.the author was unpacking when her father was making the surpriseC.it was not the first time that the author's father had made a surpriseD.the author knew what the surprise was because she knew her father22.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A.The author usually felt depressed in the season of winter.B.The author's father planted the crocuses to lift her low spirits.C.The author often thought about her father after he died.D.The crocuses bloomed each spring before her father died.23.The author's father should be best described as ________.A.a part time worker who loved flowers B.a kindhearted man who lived with faithC.a fulltime gardener with skillful hands D.an ordinary man with doubts in his life 24.What can be the best title for the passage?A.Crocuses—My Source of Faith B.Crocuses—Father's SurpriseC.A Pink Crocus—My Memory D.Crocuses in Blossom—My FavoriteBMore than great drinks, great rewardsEnjoy all the benefits and more with your membership to our Loyalty Program!

They asked US participants in two related studies about parents lying to their children—either fo r the purpose of promoting appropriate behavior or to make them happy.In one of the studies, many parents reported they told their young children that bad things would happen if they didn't go to bed or eat what they were supposed to. Other parents reported inventing magical creatures. One explained, “We told our daughter th at if she wrapped up all her pacifiers (橡皮奶嘴) like gifts, the fair would come and give them to the children who needed them.”In the other study, the researchers surveyed college students' recollections about their parents' lying and obtained similar results: parents often lie to their children even as they tell them that lying is unacceptable.The researchers refer to this practice as “parenting by lying”. “We are surprised by how often parenting by lying takes place,” said LEE. Though Heyman thinks that there are occasions when it is appropriate to be less than truthful with a child, she urges p arents to think through the issues and consider alternatives before using lies.“Children sometimes behave in ways that are disruptive or are likely to harm their long-term interests,” said Heyman.“It is common for them to try out a range of strategies, including lying, to stop them. However, parents should be concerned about the possible long-term negative consequences to children's beliefs about honesty.”28.The subject of parental lying ________.A.was not allowed to be researched in the pastB.attracts little attention because it is commonC.hasn't got many published results about itD.is becoming more and more popular29.What does Heyman think of parental lying?A.It is a great parenting strategy. B.Parents should think twice before using it.C.It usually does more good than harm. D.Parents should do something to make up for itafter using it.30.Parents usually _______ when their young children don't go to bed properly. A.turn off the bedroom lights and play some music B.shout at them loudly C.shut the door and let them alone D.make up some magical creatures to let them believe 31.In which part of a newspaper would you most probably find the passage? A.Business. B.Education. C.Technology. D.Fashion.D“Did you hear what happened to Adam Last Friday?” Lindsey whispers to Tori.With her eyes shining, Tori brags,“You bet I did, Sean told me two days ago.”Who are Lindsey and Tori talking about? It just happened to be yours truly, Adam Freedmam, I can tell you that what they are saying is (a) not nice and (b) not even true. Still, Lindsey and Tori aren’t very different from most students here at Lint on Higt School, including me. Many of our conversations are gossip(闲话).I have noticed three effects of gossip: it can hurt people , it can give gossipers a strange kind of satisfaction, and it can cause social pressures in a group.An important negative effect of gossip is that it can hurt the person being talked about. Usually, gossip spreads information about a topic-breakups, trouble at home, even dropping out-that a person would rather keep secret. The more embarrassing or shameful the secret is, the juicier the gossip it makes. Probably the worst type of gossip is the absolute lie. People often think of gossipers as harmless, but cruel lies can cause pain.If we know that gossip can be harmful, then why do so many of us do it? The answer lies in another effect of gossip: the satisfaction it gives us. Sharing the latest rumor(传言)can make a person feel important because he or she knows something that others don’t. Similarly, hearing the latest rumor can make a person feel like part of the “in group.”In other words, gossip is satisfying because it gives people a sense of belonging or even superiority(优越感).Gossip also can have a third effect: it strengthens unwritten, unspoken rules about how people should act. Professor David Wilson explains that gossip is important in policing behaviors in a group. Translated into high school terms, this means that if everybody you hang around with is laughing at what John wore or what Jane said, then you can bet that wearing or saying something similar will get you the same kind of negative attention. The do’s and don’ts conveyed thro ugh gossip will never show up in any student handbook.The effects of gossip vary depending on the situation. The next time you feel theurge to spread the latest news, things about why you want to gossip and what effects your “juicy story”might have.32.The author uses a conversation at the beginning of the passage to______ .A. introduce a topic B .present an argumentC. describe the charactersD. clarify his writing purpose33.An important negative effects of gossip is that it_______.A. breaks up relationshipsB. embarrasses the listenerC. spreads information aroundD. causes unpleasant experiences34.In the auther’s opinion, many people like to gossip because it______.A.gives them a feeling of pleasureB. help them to make more friendsC.makes them better at telling storiesD. enables them to meet important people35.Professor David Wilson think that gossip can ____.A. provide students with written ruleB. help people watch their own behaviorsC. force school to impove student handbooksD. attract the police’s attention to group behaviors第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)For college students, graduation signals an exciting new beginning. 36 Many students wonder: What do I do now? What career is best for me? Most expert advice on choosing careers boils down to the following points.Knowing YourselfWhat are your interests? Abilities? Skills? 37 T he results may surprise you! These can be useful, but they’re not the last word.InvestigatingInvestigating occupations is much more difficult. For most people, there isn’t just one ‘right’ job, but several that could be satisfying. 38 Talk to people who have occupations that interest you. Find out what they like and dislike about the ir job.39Many people choose their careers because they believe strongly in a particular cause. Some might choose to work in areas like m edicine, charity or environmental protection. Some have a strong interest in history or a love for the arts. 40 So in cases like these, the field is often chosen first, rather than the occupation itself. So if you’ve cho sena field, self-assessment will help you find your place in it. Invest some time and effort,and find the right career for you.A. Try a self-assessment quiz.B. Search through books and Web sites.C. Finding your place.D. But it can also bring a lot of uncertainty and confusion.E. Serious research helps narrow the possibilitiesF. Research your chosen field carefully. What work needs to be done? What training is needed?G. Then they might think about education, museums or art production.第三部分:英语知识运用(共两节,满分45分)第一节完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AThere is a bar in our town with the name “The White Horse”. It 's Mr. Webster's. Few people went to the bar last year, but thi ngs are quite different now.There was a picture of a white horse on the door of the bar. T hen a stranger came in one day, drank something, looked aro und the bar and then said to Mr. Webster "Few people come here. Take down the picture of the white horse and put on a pi cture of a black horse instead.""But the name of the bar is ‘The White Horse’.” Mr. Webster s aid."Yes, but do it." The man said. Then he went out of the bar.[] Mr. Webster went to an artist and said, "I want a picture of a b lack horse."The next day a picture of a black horse was on the door of the bar instead of that of the white horse. Soon after the door op ened, a man came in and said, "There is a mistake on the doo r of your bar, and the picture is different from the name." The man looked, sat down and drank something.Then another man came in and said the same, and then anot her and another. A lot of people came in and said "The pictur e on your door is wrong." And they all stopped and drank in M r. Webster's bar.1. The stranger told Mr. Webster to take down the picture of t he white horse because he knew ________.A. people would come in and tell the picture was different from the nameB. the picture of the white horse wasn't good for the barC. people would understand the picture different from the nam eD. a picture of a black horse showed good luck2.

A person lies to get himself out of a difficu lt or stressful situation or he lies to gain some benefits. So ho w should we go about recognizing those common indications(暗示) that someone is lying? Let's begin.Scratching(抓,挠) the neck,throat or mouth. When a person tells lies,he will put himself under pressure and this tends to heat up th e whole body. In order to release this heat,the liar will start to scratch his body to release the heat. Shaking of a leg or a foot. When telling a lie,a person controls his facial expression because he knows that the other person is looking at his face. However,when one is totally focused on controlling the upper body,the lower body will get out of control,which is an indication of lying.Eye direction. When a person is trying to answer a hard quest ion,usually the eyes will be looking to the left to recall things from his memory. When one cannot find the answer,the eyes will shift to look at the right which indicates that he is constructing something that is usually a lie.For more techniques to become a more effective communicator,please refer to other articles on this website.5.The writer wrote this passage to ________.A.tell us how to detect lies through body languageB.tell us the importance of detecting liesC.prove that lies can be easily detectedD.explain why people tell lies6.According to the writer,the liar will start to scratch his body because ________.

AYou probably know who Marie Curie was, but you may not ha ve heard of Rachel Carson. Of the outstanding ladies listed b elow, who do you think was the most important woman of thepast 100 years?Jane Addams (1860-1935)Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jan e Addams to thank.

In 1931, Addams became the first America n woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.Rachel Carson (1907-1964)If it weren't for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring rai sed awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful eff ects of chemicals on humans and on the world's lakes and oc eans.Sandra Day O'Connor (1930-present)When Sandra Day O'Connor finished third in her class at Stan ford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state se nator(参议员) and, in 1981, the first woman to join the U.S. Supreme C ourt. O'Connor gave the deciding vote in many important case s during her 24 years on the top court.Rosa Parks (1913-2005)On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rasa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a passenger. Her sim ple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgom ery bus boycott. It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off t he civil-rights movement. “The only tired I was, was tired of giving in ,” said Parks.1.What is Jane Addams noted for in history?A.Her social work.B.Her lack of proper training in law.C.Her efforts to win a prize.D.Her community background.2.Who made a great contribution to the civil-rights movement in the US?A.Jane Addams.

But climbing telephone poles? Now that's a whole different story.In 1978, I became the first female lineman in Columbus, Geor gia. I really enjoyed the work, and most of the men accepted me because I worked hard at it. I think that at first, they didn't think I could do it. But I got right in there and proved myself.I was a lineman for about three years. Then l went on to work at other outdoor jobs at the company before l retired in 1997.I decided to become a lineman because I wanted to work outdoors. I was a tomboy (假小子) as a child and even built my own tree house, so you could say I had a little experience. My husband, William, encourage d me to give the job a try. After work, I liked to drive around to wn and show him the wires I'd spliced (加固) that day. People were surprised to see a female lineman. They'd say, “Look, that's a woman up that pole." One day I heard a man sa y, “Oh, look, there's a telephone man-woman!" Safety belts and hooks minimized the risk of falling, but concentration was essential. Sometimes I felt a little nerv ous,but the guys told me I was less likely to fall if I wasn't too confident. It helped that I was strong, because the cables and equipment are heavy. I'm not sure every woman could have d one what I did. 1 took a lot of pride in it.5.When the author first became a lineman, .A. she was sure to be promotedB. she loved it and went all out for itC. she tried her best to convince her husbandD. she received immediate recognition from colleagues6.What is needed to be a lineman according to the author?A.

Proud and demanding.C. Adventurous and humorous.D. Open-minded and supportive.CMotorists who used to listen to the radio or their favorite tunes on CDs may have a new way to entertain themselves, after e ngineers in Japan developed a musical road surface.A team from the Hokkaido Industrial Research Institute has b uilt a number of “melody roads”, which use cars as tuning fork s to play music as they travel.The concept works by using grooves(凹槽). They are cut at very specific intervals in the road surface. The melody road uses the spaces between to create different notes.Depending on how far apart the grooves are, a car moving ov er them will produce a series of high or low notes, and designers are able to create a distinct tune.Paten documents for the design describe it as notches “forme d in a road surface so as to play a melody without producing s imple sound or rhythm and reproduce melody-like tones.”There are three musical strips in central and northern Japan —one of which plays the tune of a Japanese pop song. Reports say the system was invented by Shizuo Shinoda. He scraped some markings into a road with a bulldozer before driving ove r them and found that they helped to produce all kinds of tone s.The optimal speed for melody road is 44kph, but people say it is not always easy to get the intended sound.“You need to keep the car windows closed to hear well,” wrot e one Japanese blogger. “Driving too fast will sound like playi ng fast forward, while driving around 12mph [20km/h] has a sl ow-motion effect, making you almost car-sick.”8. We can learn from the passage that the highness of notes i s depended on _____.A. how far the grooves areB. how big the grooves areC. the number of the groovesD. the speed of the car9. The underlined word “optimal” in the passage might mean _ _______.A. fastestB. possibleC. bestD. slowest10. In order to hear the music well, you have to ______.A. drive very fastB. drive slowlyC. open the windows wideD. keep the windows closed11. What’s the best title of the passage?A.A New Type of MusicB. Melody Roads in JapanC.A Musical Road SurfaceD.A New Invention in JapanDBabies don't learn to talk just from hearing sounds. New rese arch suggests they're lipreaders too.Florida scientists discovered that starting around age 6 month s, babies begin shifting from the eye gaze(注视)to studying mouths when people talk to them.“In order to imitate you, the baby has to figure out how to sha pe their lips to make that particular sound they're hearing,” e xplains psychologist David Lewkowicz of Florida Atlantic Univ ersity, who led the study. “It's an incredibly complex process.”Apparently it doesn't take them too long to absorb the movem ents that match basic sounds. By their first birthdays, babies s tart shifting back to look you in the eye again — unless they h ear the unfamiliar sounds of a foreign language. Then, they sti ck with lipreading a bit longer.In the experiment, David Lewkowicz tested nearly 180 babies, groups of them at ages 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 months. How? The y showed videos of a woman speaking in English or Spanish t o babies of English speakers. A device tracked where each b aby was focusing his or her gaze and recorded how long the gaze lasted.They found a dramatic shift in attention: When the speaker us ed English, the 4month olds gazed mostly into her eyes. The 6 month olds spent equal amounts of time looking at the eyes and the mouth. The 8 and 10 month olds studied mostly the m outh. At 12 months, attention started shifting back toward thespeaker's eyes.It makes sense that at 6 months, babies begin observing lip m ovement, Lewkowicz says, because that's about the time babi es' brains gain the ability to control their attention rather than automatically look toward noise.But what happened when these babies used to English heard Spanish? The 12 month olds studied the mouth longer, just lik e younger babies. They needed the extra information to decip her (破译)the unfamiliar sounds.“It's a pretty interesting finding,” says University of Iowa psyc hology professor Bob McMurray, who also studies baby spee ch development. The babies “know what they need to know a bout, and they're able to draw their attention to what's importa nt at that point in language de velopment.”12. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. Babies Learn to Talk from Hearing SoundsB. Babies Learn to Talk by Reading LipsC. How Babies Learn Language after BirthD. Babies Can Understand a Foreign Language13. When an adult talks to a 5 month old baby, the baby usual ly ______.A. looks the adult into the eyesB. watches the adult's lipC. studies the adult's facial expressionsD. feels very excited14. When babies are half one year old, what can they do?A. They can control their attention.B. They can recognize human faces.C. They can play with toys.D. They can tell parents from others.15. We can infer that David Lewkowicz ______.A. did the experiment on his ownB. teaches Spanish at Florida Atlantic UniversityC. invited a woman to speak English to babiesD. studies baby speech development第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

He took a gun from under his jacket, pointing to George. “Hand it over!” George reached into his money-box and took all the bills from the top part—close to six thousand dollars.

It teaches people how to face change s in their lives. Now its author Spence Johnson has written a book just for teens. The book tells us that when facing change in our lives, like a new school or new friends, don’t be afraid. Instead, use this change to make a better life. The book gives an example of a change at school. A school is changing from having two terms to three terms because there are too many students.Several teens are talking about this. Most of them are unhapp y and worried. But Chris is not. He laughs and tells a story ab out two mice, two “little people” and some cheese.The four are in a maze looking for the cheese. Here, cheese means something important in life, like moving to a new class or getting into college. But they find the cheese is gone. The mice realize that they can’t change what has happened and h ave to find more cheese. This means finding different dreams. The little people, however, can’t do this. They are afraid of ch ange so they find no cheese.After Chris finishes the story, the friends understand one thing : to get more cheese, move in a new direction quickly. His frie nds understand how this can be used in the changes all teens face, such as doing well at school or having good relationships or just feeling good about yourself.25.

The book tells teens how to face changes in their lives.CHas been a dream for 30 years but now the world’s first flyingcar is set to hit the roads this year.Ever since the “Back to the Future” movies lit up our screens in the 1980s,designers have dreamt of cars that could take to the sky at th e push of a button. And now pilots can order their own “roada ble” plane for just £ 127,000.The plane,which has fold-out wings that span 17.5 ft,has a range of flying distance of 460 miles and can be up to 1 15 mph.Back on the land,it can also travel at “highway speeds” in car mode(状态).Fuelling the 19 ft long plane couldn’t be simpler—you just drive it into a petrol station and fill it up. A spokeswo man said,“You can keep you ‘light-sport airplane’ in your garage.But because it needs a short r unway to take to the air,you will have to drive to your local airport,fly up to 460 miles,land,and drive directly to your destination.You will always be read y to drive or fly."The spokeswoman added,“Never let bad weather change your trip.You call simply dive rt(改道)and continue on the ground until the weather clears.”There’s no risk to you—This is only the chance for you to be the first at your home fiel d to unfold your wings and fly into the future.30.According to the text,the “roadable” plane.A.can fly at“highwayspeeds”in car modeB.is a kind of car with fold-out wingsC.is 19ft long and 17.5 ft wide insideD.can only travel on the highway31.We can infer that in the “Back to the Future” movies.A.there are some skillful pilotsB.pilots have no cars to driveC.pilots can’t afford a“roadable”planeD.cars can fly in the sky32.The last sentence of the text aims to.A.call for people to buy the“roadable”planeB.show people the use of the“roadable”planeC.tell people only the“roadable”plane can fly in the future D.ask people to unfold their wings and fly into the futureDMy house is made out of wood, glass and stone. It is also ma de out of software.If you come to visit, you’ll probably be surprised when you come in. Someone will give you an electronic PIN (个人身份号码)to wear. This PIN tells the house who and where you are. The house uses this information to give you what you need. Whe n it’s dark outside, the PIN turns on the lights nearest you, an d then turns them off as you walk away from them. Music mov es with you too. If the house knows your favorite music, it play s it. The music seems to be everywhere, but in fact other peo ple in the house hear different music or no music. If you get a telephone call, only the nearest telephone rings.Of course, you are also able to tell the house if you want som ething.

AWe humans are superstitious(迷信), believing that Friday the 13th is bad luck and finding a penny is good luck. Here, then, are three of the most common superstitions. Careful with that mirrorAccording to folktales, breaking a mirror is sure to bring yourself seven years of bad luck. The superstition seems to arise from the belief that mirrors don’t just reflect your image; they hold bits of your soul. That belief led old American Southerners to cover mirrors in a house when someone died, for fear that their soul might be trapped inside.Like the number three, the number seven is often associated with luck. Seven years is a long time to be unlucky, so people have come up with solutions after breaking a mirror. These include touching a piece of the broken mirror to a tombstone or powdering the broken mirror.Knock on woodThis phrase is designed to break away from bad luck: “Breaking that mirror didn’t bring me any trouble. Knock on wood.” The phrase may come from old tales about good spirits in trees or from an association with the Christian cross.No umbrellas inside…And not just because you’ll hurt someone’s eyes. Openi ng an umbrella indoors is supposed to bring bad luck. The origins of this belief vary from a story of an ancient woman who happened to have opened her umbrella moments before her house fell to the tale of a British prince who accepted two umbrellas from a visiting king and died within months.21. What may bring good luck?A. Dating on Friday the 13th.B. Knocking on wood.C. Opening an umbrella inside.D. Breaking a mirror.22. What should you do to drive bad luck away after breaking a mirror?A. Hide the pieces for seven years.B. Put the pieces in a tombstone.C. Cover the other mirrors in a house.D. Make the pieces into powder.23. Which phrase may originate(起源) from religion?A. Careful with that mirror.B. Knock on wood.C. No umbrellas inside.D. Lucky number seven.BI was having a great morning until I sat down in front of my office computer. "Your password has run out," a server message flashed on my screen, with instructions for changing it. Coming up with a new code doesn’t seem like a big deal unless you work at my company, where we have to change it monthly, using at least one uppercase(大写的) character, one lowercase character, one symbol, and one number. Oh, and the whole thing can’t be fewer than eight characters. And I can’t use any of the same passwords I’ve used in the past three months.Suddenly I was cross. What didn’t make it any better was that I was deeply depressed after my recent divorce. The flashing cursor(光标) was still waiting for me to type a password that I’d have to re-enter many times for the next 30 days.I remembered a tip from my former boss: I’m going to use a password to change my life.I decided to choose a password, which would remind me that I shouldn’t let myself be a victim of my recent breakup and that I was strong enough to do something about it. I made my password Forgive@h3r.I had to type this statement several times a day. Each time my computer would lock. Each time my screen saver with her photo would appear. Each time I would come back from eating lunch alone. In my mind, I wrote "forgive her" every day.The simple action changed the way I looked at my ex-wife. That constant reminder led me to accept the way things had happened at the end of my marriage and adopt a new way of dealing with my depression. As the month went on, I felt slow healing beganto take place. By the time my server reminded me to reset my password the following month, I felt free.24.According to the author’s company, which code is suitable?D.persist@4EvA.never2&lateB.1u#LifeC.HEALTHY*keepinger25.Which word can replace the underlined word "cross" in Paragraph 2?A. nervous.B. curious.C. anxious.D. angry.26.Why did the author change his password into Forgive@h3r?A.To make it easier for him to remember.B.To protect his computer against hacker attacks.C.To reduce his frustration of the recent divorce.D.To inform people of the importance of forgiveness.27.What is the best title of the passage?A.How a Password Changed My LifeB.What an Unsuccessful Marriage Taught MeC.Learn the Best Way to Deal with DepressionD.Choose a Suitable Password for Your ComputerCMany animals recognize their food because they see it. So do humans. When you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat. You can also use other senses when you choose your food.You may like it because it smells good or because it tastes good. You may dislike some types of food because they do not look, smell or taste very nice. Different animals use different senses to find and choose their food. A few animals depend on only one of their senses, while most animals use more than one sense.Although there are many different types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. The giant panda ea ts only one particular type of bamboo. Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the choice. A kind of white butterflywill stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden. However, most animals have a more varied diet. The bear eats fruits and fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The diet of these animals will be different depending on the season.Humans have a very varied diet. We often eat food because we like it and not because it is good for us. In countries such as France and Britain, people eat foods with too much sugar. This makes them overweight, which is bad for their health. Eating too much red meat(羊肉,牛肉) and animal products, such as butter, can also be bad for the health. Choosing the right food, therefore, has become an area of study in modern life.28. We can infer from the text that humans and animals _________.A. depend on one sense in choosing foodB. are not satisfied with their foodC. choose food in similarways D. eat entirely different food29. Which of the following eats only one type of food?A. The whitebutterfly.B. The small bird.C. Thebear.D. The fox.30. Certain animals change their choice of food when ___________.A. the seasonchangesB. the food color changesC. they move to different placesD. they are attract ed by different smells31. We can learn from the last paragraph that __________.A. food is chosen for a good reasonB. French and British food is goodC. some people have few choices of foodD. some people care little about healthy dietDShake Shack is a new kind of restaurant becoming more popular in the U.S.The restaurants are not“fast food”.They are known as“fast casual”.Observers say Americans want more choices and fresh food when choosing where and what to eat.This trend is one reason why the fast food restaurant McDonald’s has struggled financially.In the last quarter of 2014,McDonald’s net income dropped by about $300 million.The January earnings report brought more bad news.Worldwide sales dropped for the eighth month in a row and even more than expected.While McDonald’s is strug gling to get their customers back,Shake Shack is doing well in making money.The New York-based burger chain had a very successful IPO,or initial public offering,of shares at the end of January.On its first day of trading,Shake Shack went from $21 a share to just under $46 a share.Being part of the “fast casual ”trend has helped Shake Shack.Other fast casual restaurants in the U.S.include Chipotle and Panera Bread.Bonnie Riggs,a restaurant expert with NPD has studied Americans’ restaurant habits for almost 30 years.She says one reason why Americans like fast casual food is that it’s new.It’s creative,it’s something different and people like to try new things.Her study shows Americans made 61 billion visits to restaurants last year.Three out of four visits were to fast food restaurants,like McDonald’s.Fast casual is still a small percentage of restaurant visits,but it has developed fast.Just as Ms. Riggs says,“It’s growing by leaps and bounds,because they meet consumers’needs.They know it’s being prepared w hile they wait,it’s fr esh,quality food,good tasting food at what they say are reasonable and affordable prices.”Many Americans still like their fast food.They just are not going as often.They are finding other ways to have a meal.32.Wha t’s the trouble with McDonald’s?A .Its share goes down to $21.B.Shake Shack has taken its place.C.It’s not popular with Americans.D.Its sales and income have dropped.33.We can learn from Bonnie Riggs that Americans ________.A.don’t like fast food any mor eB.care only about the qualityC.like to try something newD.pay more restaurant visits to fast casual34.What does the underlined phrase “by leaps and bounds” in Para.3 mean?A.Steadily.
