But it's been a challenge trying to convince cooks to stop rinsing(冲洗）off raw poultry.Germs that can make people sick are common in the guts of healthy poultry and are legally allowed to be on raw turkey and chicken.The assumption is that nobody eats their poultry raw,and that thorough cooking will kill the bacteria.The do-not-wash raw poultry advice from the USDA is relatively new and perhaps hasn't caught on because it goes against the common belief that washing makes things clean,said Chapman. Benjamin Chapman,a study author and food safety expert at North Carolina State University,said the instinct to wash raw poultry goes back at least decades when people relied more on visual clues to spot problems with poultry.Meanwhile,washing hands and surfaces are also important.But food preparation is a complicated act,and germs from poultry can be spread even if it's not washed,especially when birds are removed from packaging.The USDA-funded study stresses that point.Researchers sprayed raw chicken with a harmless strain of E.coli(大肠杆菌）and watched volunteer cooks at test kitchens.Among those who washed their raw chicken,about aquarter ended up spreading the bacteria to their lettuce.But even some of those who did not rinse the chicken got germs on the lettuce.And there are_other opportunities for germs to survive on turkeys:melting and cooking.To ensure a bird is thoroughly cooked,they say to use a thermometer to check that the deepest and thickest parts of it have reached 165 degrees.Even after the meal is cooked,you aren't out of the danger zone.To keep turkeys and other leftovers safe,experts say they should be refrigerated after two hours.24.People don't accept USDA 's advice becauseA.the advice is relatively new.B.cooks clean the turkey before cooking it.C.heat can kill most.germs and no one eats raw food.D.cleaning seems more trustworthy.25.What can be concluded from Paragraph 4?A.Germs from a turkey can be spread whether it is washed or not.B.Food packages carry germs.C.Hands and surfaces are easy to get E.coli.D.Multiple methods should be applied to food to get rid of germs.26.Which way may help to cook a turkey safely?A.Rinse off the turkey before it is heated.B.Keep the turkey away from the lettuce and refrigerator.e a thermometer to check the temperature of the turkey.D.Wash hands and packages before taking out the turkey.27.From which section of a magazine is the text probably taken?A.Cooking.B.Technology.C.MedicineD.Science.CLight is a complex phenomenon classically explained with a simple model based on rays and wavefronts.Many of the aspects of light have been explored,but few people notice them happening in their real lives.For example,most of us observe some type of optical interference almost daily,but usually don't realize the events in play behind the ever-changing display of colors produced when lightwaves interfere with each other.One of the best examples of interference is shown by the light reflected from a film of oil floating on water.Another example is the thin film of a soap bubble,which reflects a series of light with beautiful colors when shined by natural or man-made light sources.Electromagnetic radiation(电磁辐射），the larger family of wave-like phenomena to which visible light belongs,is the primary vehicle transporting energy through the vast reaches of the universe.The means by which visible light is sent out or absorbed,and how it predictably reacts under different conditions as it travels through space and the atmosphere,form the basis of the existence of color in our universe.The human eye is sensitive to a form of electromagnetic radiation that lies in the wavelength range between 400 and 700 nanometers(纳米），commonly known as the visible light spectrum,which is the only source of color.When combined,all of the wavelengths present in visible light form colorless white light.Red,green,and blue colors are classically considered the primary colors because they are fundamental to human vision.Light is observed as white by humans when our eyes are affected by equal amounts of red,green,and blue light at the same time.The concept of color temperature is of great importance in photography and digital imaging, regardless of whether the image capture device is a camera or a microscope.A lack of proper color temperature balance between the microscope light source and the image sensor is the most common reason for unexpected color shifts in photomicrography(显微照相术）and digital imaging.If the color temperature of the light source is too low for the film,photomicrographs will have an overall yellowishor reddish cast and will appear warm.On the other hand,when the color temperature of the light sourceis too high for the film,photomicrographs will have a blue cast and will appear cool.As problematic asthese color shifts may seem,they're always easily corrected by the proper use of conversion and lightbalancing filters(滤光器）。

How much will it cost if Alice, her 11-year-old son and her three-year-old daughter want to visit all the recommended places in the article?A.£ 87.B.£ 58.C.£ 126.D.£ 100.23. If you want to see works by Gabo and Nicholson,you should go to _________.A. the sheltered valleys in CornwallB. the forts around Lizard peninsulasC.Tate St.IvesD. the Belgrave Gallery in Fore StreetBIn 2015 world leaders meeting in Paris agreed to move towards zero net greenhouse-gas emissions in the second half of this century. That is a tall order, and the building industry makes it even taller. Cement-making alone produces 6% of the world’s carbon emissions. Steel, half o f which goes into buildings, accounts for another 8%. If you factor in all of the energy that goes into lighting, heating and cooling homes and offices, the world’s buildings start to look like a giant environmental problem.Governments in the rich world are now trying to promote greener behaviour by obligingdevelopers to build new projects to “zero carbon” standards. From January 1st 2019 all new public-sector buildings in the European Union must be built to “nearly zero-energy” standards. All other types of buildings will follow in January 2021. Governments in eight further countries are being lobbied to introduce a similar policy.These standards are less green than they seem. Wind turbines (风力发电机) and solar panels on top of buildings look good but are much less productive than wind and solar farms. And the standards only count the emissions from running a building, not those belched out when it was made. Those are thought to account for between 30% and 60% of the total over a structure’s lifetime.Buildings can become greener. They can use more recycled steel and can be prefabricated (预制的) in off-site factories, greatly reducing lorry journeys. But no other building material has environmental credentials as exciting and overlooked as wood.The energy required to produce a laminated wooden beam (梁) is one-sixth of that required for a steel one of comparable strength. When a mature tree is cut down, a new one can be planted to replace it, capturing more carbon. After buildings are demolished, old beams and panels are easy to recycle into new structures. And for retrofitting older buildings to be more energy efficient, wood is a good insulator (绝缘体). A softwood window frame provides nearly 400 times as much insulation as a plain steel one of the same thickness and over a thousand times as much as an aluminium equivalent.Governments can help nudge the industry to use more wood, particularly in the public sector—the construction industry’s biggest client. T hat would help wood-building specialists achieve greater scale and lower costs.24. What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in the first paragraph?A.The building industry makes zero net greenhouse-gas emission hard to realize.B.The building industry is more important than the order.C. The building industry makes the order taller to achieve.D. The building industry makes the meeting in Paris taller than any other meeting.25. Which of the following is NOT the reason for using wood as building material?A.The energy required to produce a wooden beam is one-sixth of that required for a steel one.B. When a mature tree is cut down,a new one can grow by itself,capturing more carbon.C.Old beams are easy to recycle into new structure after demolished.D. Wood is a better insulator than steel and aluminum.26. What does the underlined word “nudge” mean in the last paragraph?A. Make.B. Push.C. Discourage.D. Force.27. What is the main idea of this passage?A.The world's buildings look like a severe environment problem.B. World leaders agreed to move towards zero net greenhouse-gas emissions.C. Using more wood would help wood-building specialists achieve lower costs.D. The industries should use more wood to make the world more environmental.CIn China, calligraphy (书法) occupies a distinguished position in the field of traditional art. It has always been more than simply a tool for communication, but also a means of expressing a person's inner world in an aesthetic sense.Chinese calligraphy has endured for more than 2,000 years.Inscribed on animal bones,the oracle bone script is the earliest known writing form of Chinese characters. Following the changes of dynasties, it evolved into five main ways of writing, each with different techniques. With the unification of China by the Qin Dynasty,the Prime Minister Li Si(? -208 BC)actively promoted a uniform paltern of writing -the seal script (篆书). In the Eastern Han Dynasty, people simplified the seal characters, which had many strokes (笔画), and created the official script (隶书). The new calligraphy appears to be much neater, turning the round style into a flat one.Today’s most popular and influential writing style,the regular script, first came into being between the Han and Wei dynasties. Just as the name implies,it features regularity and varies from the flat font to a square one. The period when the regular script flourished most was during the Tang Dynasty, when Yan Zhenqing(708-784) and Liu Gongquan(778-865) successively established schools of their own styles. In striking contrast, the cursive script (草书) puts emphasis on flexibility, for it only maintains the essence of each character and expresses more personal exertion (发挥）. Therefore,its value lies more in appreciation than in practicality.The Sage of Calligraphy Wang Xizhi(303--361,307--365, or 321--379), together with his son Wang Xianzhi (344 -386), led the art of calligraphy to its summit. Wang Xizhi was a master of all forms of Chinese calligraphy, especially the running script,and is generally recognized as the greatest Chinese calligrapher in history.People placed great value on his calligraphic works,comparing his handwriting to a"flying dragon",vigorous yet elegant. His preface to the poems collected from The Orchid Parilion,known as a gem(瑰宝)of Chinese calligraphy,was the most representative of his style.However,the original work is no longer available for public admiration.It is said to be buried in the tomb of Emperor Taizong of Tang(599-649) since he admired it so much.Chinese calligraphy has also been introduced to many neighboring countries and has built up a worldwide reputation. Picasso(1881-1973),the world-renowned master of art,reportedly once said, “If I had lived in China, I must have become a calligrapher rather than a painter.”In 2009,Chinese calligraphy was insecribed on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by the U NESCO.28. How many writing forms of Chinese characters are mentioned in the passage?A. 4.B.5.C.6.D.7.29. The underline d word “inscribed” in Paragraph 2 means “__________”.A. DescribedB.carvedC.insertedD.decorated30. Which of the following is NOT right about these different writing styles?A. The cursive seript highlights flexibility and more personal exertion.B. Compared with the seal script,the official seript is flatter and neater.C. Yan Zhenqing and Liu Gongquan built up schools to teach the regular script.D. Wang Xizhi's most representative calligraphic work was written in the running script.31. What can we infer from what Picasso said?A. Chinese calligraphy attracted him a lot.B. He wanted to move to China.C. He regretted becoming a painter.D. The UNESCO gave him a report.D“ But man is not made for defeat”, he said. A man can be destroyed but not defeated.” I am sorry that I killed the fish though,he thought. Now the bad time is coming and I do not even have the harpoon.The dentuso is cruel and able and strong and intelligent.But I was more intelligent than he was.Perhaps not,he thought.Perhaps I was only better armed.“Don’t think, old man.” he said aloud. “Sail on this course and take it when it comes.”But I must think ,he thought. Because it is all I have left. That and baseball.I wonder how the great DiMaggio would have liked the way I hit him in the brain?It was no great thing,he thought.Any man could do it. But do you think my hands were as great a handicap(残疾人)as the bone spurs (骨刺) ? I cannot know. I never had anything wrong with my heel except the time the sting ray (魔鬼鱼) stung(蜇) it when I stepped on him when swimming and paralyzed the lower leg and made the unbearable pain.“Think about something cheerful, old man,” he said. “Every minute now you are closer to home.You sail lighter for the loss of forty pounds.”He knew quite well the pattern of what could happen when he reached the inner part of the current(洋流). But there was nothing to be done now.“Yes, there is” he said aloud. “I can lash my knife to the butt of one of the oars(桨).”So he did that with the tiller (舵柄) under his arm and the sheet of the sail under his foot.“Now,”he said. “I am still an old man.But I am not unarmed.”The breeze was fresh now and he sailed on well.He watched only the forward part of the fish and some of his hope returned.32. What is implied by the sen tence “A man can be destroyed but not defeated.” in Paragraph 1?A. A man can be physically damaged but mentally strong.B. A man can be mentally damaged but physically strong.C. A man can’t be both physically and mentally damaged.D. A man is born to be destroyed but not defeated.33. What did the old man think of himself after killing the big fish?A.Contented.B. At a loss.C.Unsatisfied.D.Delighted.34. Facing the rest of the sailing course,what did the old man do?A. He lashed his knife to the butt of one of the oars with the tiller under his arm and the sheet of the sail under his foot.B. He complained about everything that he had met and did nothing about the sailing course.C. Although he was not well armed,he still didn't lose heart.D. He never lost heart when considering the possible difficulties.35 .Where is this passage most probably taken from?A. A storybook.B. A magazine.C. A science report.D. A novel.第二节七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

ADear Mr. Price,I have eaten in your restaurant many times and have always been happy with the food and service, but what happened last Saturday made me very angry. It was my son’s birthday so we ordered a no-smoking table at your restaurant for 7:30p.m. We arrived on time but were told that our table was not yet ready. At 8:00 p.m., we were given a table in the smoking area. I asked to move but I was told that there were no other tables. A lot of people were smoking so it was uncomfortable and unhealthy.The first waitress, Janet , was very polite and helpful. She gave us free drinks for waiting so long. Our food also came quickly and looked fresh and tasty. When my wife had eaten most of her meal, she found a little insect in her vegetables. She was surprised and wanted to leave. At first, the waitress told us it was a piece of garlic. When we told her that garlic does not have legs , she said sorry and took the food away.We asked for the bill, expecting not to pay for my wife’s meal. Nobody came. After 15 minutes, I asked to see the manager. The head waiter told us that he was on holiday. I complained again about the terrible insect. He told me Janet had finished work. He didn’t believe my story and gave me a bill for the meals including my wife’s .I argued with him but had to pay in the end.The waitress , Janet, was always friendly, but I would like an apology from your impolite head waiter and a full refund for our meal. It cost $68. Until then, I will not be eating at your restaurant or recommending it to anyone.You can contact me on 742-3254 or through e-mail if you want more information.Yours sincerely,Raymond Yuen1.

The sun was probably the world’s first clock, except in the far north, where the Eskimos live. There, it’s dark most of the winter, and light most of the summer. But in most of the world, people have used the sun for a clock. Even today, if you don’t have a clock, you still know that when the sun shines, it’s day , and when it’s dark, it’s night. The sun can also tell you if it’s morning, noon or afternoon. People who live near the sea can tell time from the tides. In the daytime, for about six hours, the water rises higher and higher on the beach. And then it goes down and down for about six hours. The same thing happens again at night. There are two high tides and two low tides every 24 hours.Seamen on a ship learn how to tell time by looking at the moon and stars. The whole sky is their clock.In some places in the world the wind comes up at about the same time every day or changes directions or stops blowing. In these places the wind can be the clock.A sand clock is an even better clock. If you had fine dry sand in a glass shaped like the one in the picture, you would have what is called an hourglass. The sand in the hourglass goes from the top part to the bottom part in exactly one hour. And when it is turned over, the sand will take another hour to go back again.5. What did people use as the first clock according to the writer?A. The moon.B. The star.C. The sun.D. The wind.6. Which of the following is NOT true?A. The Eskimos can’t tell time from the sun.B. The moon and sta rs are seamen’s clocks.C. Wind can be the clock at all places.D. Sand clocks are better than others.7. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 6 means ______?A. the sand.B. the hourglass.C. the picture.D. the part.8. What is the passage mainly about？A. Different ways to tell time.B. Useful machines to tell time.C. The history of the clock.D. The development of the clock.CIn the coming months, we are bringing together artists from all over the globe, to enjoy speaking Shakespeare’s plays in their own language, in our Globe , within the architecture Shakespeare wrote for .

When the studio didn’t want me for the film—it wanted somebody as well known as Paul—he stood up for me. I don’t know how many people would have done that ; they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers.The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference, we both came from a tradition of theatre and live TV. We were respectful of craft(技艺) and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play. Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors: humorous, aggressive and making fun of each other—but always with an underlying affection. Those were also at the core(核心) of our relationship off the screen.We shared the belief that if you’re fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back—he with his Newman’s Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival. Paul and I didn’t see each other all that regularly, but sharing that brought us together. We supported each other financially and by showing up at events.I last saw him a few months ago. He’d been in and out of the hospital. He andI both knew what the deal was, and we didn’t talk about it. Ours was a relationship that didn’t need a lot of words.12 . Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to the author at first?A. Paul Newman wanted it.B. The studio powers didn’t like his agent.C. He wasn’t famous enough.D. The director recommended someone else.13. Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship?A. They were of the same age.B. They worked in the same theaterC. They were both good actors.D. They had similar characteristics.14. What does the underlined word “ that” in Paragraph 3 refer to ?A. Their belief.B. Their care for children.C. Their success.D. Their support for each other.15.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To show his love of films.B. To remember a friend.C. To introduce a new movie.D. To share his acting experience.第二节信息匹配题(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。
