Pizza: the World's Favorite FoodFood, and the way we eat it, is always changing. As society develops, we learn new ways of growing, processing and cooking food. What we ate 200 years ago was very different from what we eat today. Also, when people travel to live in other countries, they take their knowledge of cooking with them. And food must fit modern lifestyles and local tastes, too. One food that has done this successfully is pizza.The pizza we recognize today first appeared in Italy in 1889. A famous baker from Naples made a special Pizza for the Italian royal (皇室的) family. He was very worried they wouldn't like it, but they did. Queen Margherita loved the dish so much, and the baker named it after her. Since then, this simple meal of bread, cheese and tomato has traveled the world, and it has adapted (适应) to local cultures. The pizza began its journey in the 1890s, when many Indians moved to New York in search of a better life. There they continued to make pizzas, and the first pizzeria opened in 1905.At first it was only popular with Indians, but by the late 1940s, Americans discovered a taste for it. Today they spend $37 billion a year on pizzas. That's more than $100 per American.The Pizza continued its travels around the world, adapting all the time. In Sweden, for example, it is usual to have bananas on pizzas. In Belgium, people eat chocolate pizzas with marshmallows on top. Japan is a nation of seafood lovers, so not surprisingly, they love octopus and squid, as well as roasted seaweed, toppings. Australians sometimes choose kangaroo or crocodile on their pizza.The popularity of the pizza is also related to our changing lifestyles. In today's super-fast society, people often don't have the time or energy to cook. So, they order take-out and very often, it's a pizza. Sometimes you don't even have to pick it up, it's delivered (递送) to your home. If you don't even have time to sit down, buy a single slice and eat it standing up.The Pizza has come a long way. From its beginnings in an Italian city, it has grown to become one of the world's favorite foods.34.What do people like taking when they travel to live in other countries?_____________________35.Did the Italian royal family like the pizza?_____________________36.When did the pizza move to New York?_____________________37.In which country do people love pizzas with bananas?_____________________38.What does the passage mainly talk about?_____________________【答案】34. Their knowledge of cooking.35. Yes, they did.36. In the 1890s.37. In Sweden.38. How the pizza gets popular.【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文。

It appeared that he would go under at any minute, yet something seemed to keep pushing his onward."Why doesn't the coach stop this child?" the parents spoke among themselves. "He looks like he's not going to make it, and the race was won four minutes ago."But what the parents did not realize was that the real race, the race of a boy becoming a man, was just 6 .The coach walked over to the young swimmer and quietly spoke. The parents thought, "Oh, he'sfinally going to pull that boy out before he kills himself." But to their 7 , the coach stepped back from the pool's edge, and the young man continued to swim.One teammate, inspired by his brave friend, went to the side of the pool and walked the lane as Justin continued. "Come on, Justin, you can do it! Keep going! Don't give up!" He was joined by another, then another, until the whole team was walking the length of the pool cheering for and 8 their teammate to finish the race set before him. Their opponents saw what was happening and 9 them. Soon the room was full of energy and excitement as teammates and opponents alike gave courage to one small swimmer.Twelve long minutes after the starting whistle had blown, a tired but 10 Justin Rigsbee swam his final lap and pulled himself out of the pool. The standing ovation(起立鼓掌)they gave Justin that day proved that the greater victory was his, just for finishing the race.1.A.friends B.holidays C.training D.victory2.A.willingly B.nervously C.curiously D.seriously3.A.friendship B.bridges C.success D.character4.A.learned B.started C.tried D.failed5.A.stealing B.holding C.losing D.wasting6.A.ending B.beginning C.canceled anized7.A.shame B.joy C.surprise D.satisfaction8.A.teaching B.encouraging C.forcing D.asking9.A.left B.stopped C.guided D.joined10.A.crying B.energetic C.smiling D.helpful海淀区Search for the BestFor this Father’s Day, many children bou ght ties, socks or golf balls, but my present had to be the best. After spending several days shopping, my search for the best came _31_to an old plane. It was one Father’s Day that my dad and I would never forget.“Is this your first time flying?” our pil ot asked my dad. I felt a little _32_knowing that in a few minutes I would be in the sky trusting my life to someone who would fly a plane for the first time. My nerves were making me want to give up, but I knew it would be a good father-daughter_33_.After a little hesitation (犹豫), my dad started the engine. We taxied to the runway slowly. After being cleared for take-off, we went faster. I could feel the plane shaking slowly while it was _34_from the ground. After the pilot gave some instructions, my dad was flying the plane. Suddenly, we experienced a quick fall and then the plane went up again, which made me feel as if I were on a roller coaster. The plane started to move up and down and the pilot quickly took over the control. I could see the _35_on my dad’s fac e. The pilot started to tell the control tower over the radio that we had hit turbulence (气流). It was a sunny day with few clouds so I didn’t how _36_this was possible. But it was indeed very windy a few thousand feet up. I held onto my seat, trying to tell myself we were going to be OK. After a few minutes jumping up and down, the plane leveled off (在平流层飞行) and I started to breathe_37_.Finally, it was time to return. We started to go down and it seemed that we were going to _38_runway and land in trees, but somehow we landed on the ground, gradually slowing. It seemed like forever until the plane actually stopped. I was excited to _39_and it felt good to have my feet back on the ground. The smile on my dad’s face _40_had given him the best gift. The unforgettable Father’s Day was complete with an old plane, and huge smiles on our faces.31. A. advice B. gift C. excuse D. prize32. A. nervous B. excited C. painful D. satisfied33.

He wouldn’t let the baby eagle lose his _31_ . The eagle nest (巢) was down because of last night’s storm. If Frank was still alive, he would have been out here, instead of staying inside like Sam—Josh’s stepfather (继父). Mum and Sam tried to make Josh happy. But Josh still felt like a __32__ in his own home.A sound broke into Josh’s thoughts. It was a baby eagle, right beside his foot. He hurried home with him. After a quick look, Sam said, “He’s not __33_ . But we should return him to his parents as quickly as possible.”“I saw some wood in the yard. Could you help build a new nest?” Sam continued. Josh nodded. Together they __34__ a wooden box. Then they went to rest the box in the tree. While Sam was helping Josh with the necessary tools, he said, “I wish I could do this instead of you, but I’d probably just fall out of the tree.”Josh _35__ Sam was worried. “I’ll be okay,” he comforted him. “See? I have the safety rope. Even if I miss my foot ing, it will hold me.” As Josh tried to put the box into place, the mother eagle swooped (俯冲) down. Josh ducked—and he started to fall. 36 , the safety rope held him. “Are you all right?” Sam shouted. “Yes,” Josh called, “send the bird up!”Finally, Josh was back with Sam, watching the eagles circle above the new nest. They started to cheer as the eagles seemed to land, but the great birds flew away at the last minute. If the eagles didn’t accept the new home, the baby eagle would be left alone after all—and their 37 was wasted. “What are they waiting for?” Josh asked unhappily.“They’re being careful.” Something in Sam’s voice made Josh look at his stepfather. “It’s not easy to __38__ change,” Sam went on. “It’s hard to trust Golden Flowers Josh thought about that. Sam could never take the place of Frank, but perhaps he could be a friend. Friends helped each other through hard times. Josh remembered how he and Sam had worked together and how 39 Sam had been for his safety.“She’s coming in,” Sam cried. Th e mother eagle landed beside her baby.“Yes!” Josh and Sam shouted. “We40__ it!” As they high-fived each other, Josh felt closer to Sam. Now he and the baby eagle had both come home.31.

It was a tradition --- we just had to sleep under the tree on Christmas Eve --- even if we were ten and twelve. My eight-year-old brother, Ashley and three-year-old baby sister. Breanna were already asleep near the 1 .Trudy and I talked to each other in a low voice and discussed what we expected to get in our stockings the next morning. We looked at the four stockings hanging by the fireplace, and we 2 that one was missing. Weren't there five people in our family? Why didn't Mum have a stocking?She had told us when she was a little girl her family didn't hang stockings on Christmas Eve. We were 3 to be the members of our family and we thought Mum should be a part of the tradition she had created for us. It was then that we came up with an idea. It would forever change the way we would see Christmas and more 4 , giving.Quickly Trudy woke Breanna, and I hurried to wake Ashley. We planned Mother's stocking. For several minutes we began to look for our treasures through our things.Breanna brought her candy box. We chose a piece of Santa chocolate. I wrote, "For your sweet wish," stuck it on Breanna's chocolate and put it into an old, oversized, red 5 which Ashley found in the wardrobe(衣柜).Ashley brought two of his favorite toy cars and told us they were for when Mum's car broken down. Now she would always have two more. Trudy wrote the explanation for him.I brought a bag of flower seeds and 6 around the bag. "So you will always have fresh seedsof inspiration(灵感)."Trudy made a little baby out of a round river rock. She called it Herman Periwinkle and wrote an adoption(收养)letter for the baby. That was so Mum would always have a baby, because she often 7 that her real babies were growing up too fast.We hung Mum's stocking on the highest place and stuck a 8 _ to the outside of the stocking that said, "To: Mother Santa Claus --- from: The TAABElves" She was proud of her acronym(首字母缩略词)for our names,and we were all so 9 that we could hardly sleep.In the morning, when we woke up, we rushed right past our stockings, straight into Mum's bedroom.

He was a naught boy who liked making fun of other classmates. They didn't like this but could do nothing.One day, after the science class, Suraj went to fool one of his classmates, Kiran. Kiran felt 1 and just sat on the chair. As soon as their math teacher arrived to the class, Suraj moved back to his place quickly. The class started and the 2 was asking some questions to the students.And it happened. Suraj wet his pants! He felt very ashamed. He 3 how his classmates would think about him. His wet pants would be the hot topic of the school! His friends would talk about this for years. The girls in the class would never look at him as a friend. The boys and girls would never speak with him. He would become the joker for everyone in the class. Suraj's imagination was going so wild.The math teacher noticed a kind of uneasiness in Suraj. She was watching him for a few minutes and 4 him in some kind of trouble. Suraj noticed the teacher watching him and tried to act normal. He felt that his heart would stop beating very soon. He 5 pleaded(恳求). "Dear God, you have to help me. In 5 or 10 minutes, I will be dead. I really need some 6 from you."The teacher again saw that Suraj was uneasy and she looked at him. He smiled at her. Kiran made a request to let him drink some water. 7 , Kiran from the back chair took his water bottle and started to move out of the classroom. As he crossed Suraj's desk, he dropped the water bottle. The cap opened and all water fell on Suraj.It surprised everyone greatly and the teacher 8 to help Suraj. She asked a student to get a towel from her office.His friends cleaned the desk and helped him. The teacher asked another student to bring a pair of gym pants for him to wear until his pants got dry. The act of being laughed at suddenly became sympathetic(同情的). When Kiran tried to help him, he was cornered. The teacher punished him for being so 9 .And of course, Suraj was so relaxed. He looked at Kiran, who stood silently in a corner.After school, Suraj walked to Kiran and thanked him with all his heart. Kiran Smiled and said, "Hey, I know buddy!

The first grade teacher gave her class a fun assignment (作业,任务)-to draw a 31 of something for which they were grateful (感激的).Most of the class might be considered not rich, but still many would celebrate the holiday with turkey and other traditional goodies (甜食) of the season. These, the teacher thought, would be the32 of most of her students’ art. And they were.But Douglas made a different kind of picture. Douglas was a different kind of boy. He was the teacher’s true child of misery (痛苦), weak and 33 . As other children played atbreak, Douglas was likely to stand close by her side. One could only guess at the 34Douglas felt behind those sad eyes.Yes, his picture was different. When asked to draw a picture of something for which he was35 , he drew a hand. Nothing else. Just an empty hand.His abstract (抽象的) picture raised the 36 of his classmates. Whose hand could it be? One child guessed it was the hand of a farmer, because farmers feed turkeys. Another suggested a police officer, because the police protect and care for people. And so the discussion went-until the teacher almost 37 the young artist himself.When the children had gone on to other assignments, she stopped at Douglas’ desk, bent (弯曲) down, and asked him whose hand it was. The little boy looked 38 and said in a low voice, “It’s yours, teacher.” She remembered the times she had taken his hand and walked with him here and there, as she had the other students. How often had she said, “39 my hand, Douglas, we’ll go outside.” Or, “Let me show you how to hold your pencil.” Or, “Let’s do this together.” Douglas was most thankful for his teacher’s hand.With tears in her eyes, she went on with her work.The story speaks of more than thankfulness. It says something about teachers teaching and parents parenting and friends showing friendship, and how much it means to the Douglases of the world. They might not always say thanks, but they’ll remember the hand that 40 out.31. A. map B. picture C. cartoon D. postcard32. A. classes B. lessons C. objects D. subjects33.

She had been waiting in the door with her coat on. She had curled her hair and was wearing her best dress and smiled like an angel. “I told my friends that I was going out with my son, and they were impressed. ” she said, as she got into the car. “They can't wait to33 about our meeting. ”We went to a restaurant that, although not big, was very nice. After we sat down, I had to readthe 34 . Her eyes could only read large print.“I used to have to read the menu when you were small,” she said.“Then it's time that you 35 and let me return the favor,” I responded.During the dinner, We had an agreeable conversation—nothing special but events of eachother's life. We talked so 36 that we missed the movie.Late that night I drove her back. As we arrived, she said, “I'll go out with you again, but only if you let me 37 you. ” I agreed.“How was your dinner date?” asked my wife when I got home. “Very nice. Much more sothan I could have imagined,” I answered.A few days later, my mother died of a serious heart disease. It happened so suddenly that Ididn't have a 38 to do anything for her. Some time later, I received an envelope with a copy of a restaurant receipt from the same place where mother and I had dined. A note in it said: “I've already paid this bill. I wasn't sure that I could be there; but nevertheless, I paid for two plates one for you and the other for your wife. You will never know what that night 39 for me.

It was clear she was wondering why I asked such a 31 . While I waited for Jenna to answer, I started imagining what life would be like without her. Losing Jenna would be like losing a very close sister. We played together. We gave each other advice.“Of course, we’ll still be friends when we’re eighty-two,” Jenna replied loudly. We looked at each other and then 32 so hard that tears ran down my face.The next year, in the fourth grade, we met Jamie. The three of us soon became best 33 . We played together almost every day. We laughed together, cried together and shared our biggest secrets.I thought e ven time couldn’t pull us apart(分开).The three of us started fighting a lot. Before Christmas, we had a really big fight, and Jamie and Jenna were against me, both saying I was bossy(霸道的). They wouldn’t even talk to me at school. I felt helpless and lonely. I thought Christmas would be 34 ! Why is this happening to me?I thought.I was 35 when Jenna came to my house and gave me a Christmas card she had made for me. I was so sure that she was still disappointed with me, but now I was getting a really special card made by herself.“Wow,” I said, 36 the silence as we stood on either side of my front door. “Thanks.”“Okay . . . well . . . I have to go,” she said 37 .“Okay. See you later then. . . .” and I closed the door and 38 back to my mom’s bedroom to finish watching a movie.“Who was that at the door?” my mom asked.“It was Jenna,” I explained, showing her the card.The 39 started with “Merry Christmas”, but then, it said, “Dear Miranda, I am so glad we’re friends. I am sorry about what I said when we were fighting. A fight won’t stop us from being friends. Besides, we said we were going to be friends even when we’re eighty-two.”I stopped reading and started laughing. I couldn’t believe I had 40 what she said that day in her backyard.

(共15 分,每小题 1.5 分)Yesterday when I was walking along a busy street, I noticed a young man standing on the side of the street selling toys. Usually I would pay no attention and hurry past such sellersinstead of stopping to 31 anything. But I noticed this young man was blind, so I stood for some time without crossing the street. I wanted to see how he sold his 32 .Soon, a young mother with a little boy came by and the little child was attracted by one of the toys that made a noise. The young mother asked for the 33 and it was only one dollar. She pulled out a 10 dollar note from her purse ( 钱包) and told the young man that she was giving him 10 dollars and wanted the 34 back. I was wondering 35 he was going to give it back. He told the young mom to put the money in the bag that was hanging around his neck and take out whatever change he should give her. She then put her hand into the bag and took out the balance ( 找的钱) while I was watching her 36 like a police.I realized that this young man depended on trusting people not to cheat him. There was no way for him to know if someone took out more than they should have done. I was so 37 that I bought a toy car from him which I did not need. He said it cost a dollar and I, too, told him that I had only 10 dollars. He told me to do the same thing. 38 I put my 10 dollars in his bag. I put my hand in but did not take any change. I hope he finds that he has more money than he should when he gets home. As I walked down the street I saw another kid walking with his father, so I gave him the little toy. I walked on 39 that the two people would have a smile on their faces that day.I kept thinking that the world would be a better place if we could all learn to 40 others more, like the young blind street seller of toys.31.A.sell B.buy C.catch D.help32.A.toys B.socks C.bags D.cakes33.A.money B.bag C.price D.car34.A.purse B.toy C.note D.change35.A.what B.where C.how D.why36.A.politely B.carefully C.excitedly D.sadly37.A.attracted B.surprised C.interested D.touched38.A.Although B.So C.Or D.However39.A.making B.looking C.hoping D.helping40.A.trust B.help C.give D.offer阅读理解41.What can people do in Story Show?A.Design your own iPhone case.

He worked hard and finally started his own gardening business. He married and bought a comfortable home in Redwood City, California. Tapia and his wife had two sons, putting the elder into college.When his son graduated from law school, Tapia was inspired ( 鼓舞) to help other young people go to college, although he himself had never studied beyond the sixth grade. With the help from his sons, Tapia set up a company — the Gardeners Foundation.Tapia began the company by asking his rich customers for donation. In just two weeks, he had raised $10,000 for scholarships ( 奖学金), and the money kept coming. The Gardeners Foundation now gives at least ten scholarships each year."I believe the education of our young people isn't just the responsibility of their parents, especially in the Latino area, where some parents work two or three jobs," says Tapia.Gloria Escobar, nineteen, received one of the scholarships. Gloria wanted to study architecture ( 建筑), but there were no classes at her local college. The foundation helped her to travel to a college farther away to make her dream true.Another receiver, Alberto Urieta, hopes to study biology. "To receive a scholarship is so much help because the books are so expensive, and it also gives us a feeling that we're not alone, and someone wants us to make our dreams a reality," says Urieta.Tapia understands that children who are educated can do more to the country. "We're just planting a little seed," he said. "and it will finally grow into a garden of students, and it will flower and bear fruits."45.How many people are there in Tapia's family?A.Three. B.Four.

For example, they might have said that you'd go blind from reading in the dark, but you could make it better by eating a lot of carrots.This is just one of the wrong ideas you may have heard of. Here are some scientific explanations for three mistakes that people often make about eyes. Let's take a look.Can eating carrots improve your eyesight?Carrots are rich in vitamin A, which is essential for our eyes' general health. Vitamin A makes the eyes get light into signals, allowing people to see in low light conditions.However, eating more carrots doesn't help you see better. A certain amount will help, but a large number of carrots will not give you superman vision or allow you to take off your glasses. If your parents have bad eyesight, will you have bad eyesight, too?Myopia ( 近视) can be passed from parents to children.A study by the American Optometric Association found that if both parents are myopic, there's a 33% to 60%, and it's down to 6% to 15% for kids with non-myopic parents.So, no matter how bad your parents' eyesight is, you still have a chance of having good eyesight.Is it true that people who are color blind can't see colors?Color blindness doesn't mean that someone can't see colors at all, like a black and white movie. Most commonly, it means that someone has difficulty telling certain colors apart, usually green and red or blue and yellow.Color blindness is usually a condition caused by not having color cone cells ( 视锥细胞) or the cells not working. If the cells don't react in the right way to differences in wavelengths ( 波长) of light, color blindness appears.There are different levels of color blindness.
