It is known for its localcarnival（狂欢节）organized in February.The main part of the carnival is the famous Battle of the Oranges (La battaglia delle arance). The Battle includes nine teams who throw oranges at each other during three carnival days – Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.Oranges were not always used in the battle. In the middle ages people used beans. Twice a year the local feudal lord gave a pot of beans to the poor families who, as sign of rebellion, threw them out of their homes. Later beans became part of carnival as sort of “ammunition” for throwing at people passing by.It is still not known why exactly people started using oranges. It is believed that the origin for this tradition is in the mid 19th century. The legend says that local girls, standing on balconies, started to throw some oranges, together with confetti,lupins(白羽扇豆)and flowers, onto the parade carriages. The girls actually wanted to draw attention of boysin the carriages. Boys “answered” by throwing some objects back at girls. Little battle started that way.Battle of the Oranges got strict rules after the World War II. The battles are organized on town's squares. The battles are fought between teams in carriages (symbolizing local the guards of localtyrant(恶霸)) and the teams walking beside those carriages (symbolizing rebellious people of Ivrea).Oranges for the event are brought from the island of Sicily. The oranges used are of low quality, not suitable for humans. About 270,000 kilograms of oranges are used each year.The carnival ends with a silent march on the night of “Fat Tuesday”. The Carnival "general" says goodbye to everyone with the phrase "See you next Fat Thursday at 1 p.m."Special prizes are awarded to three best foot teams, three carriages drawn by two horses and three carriages drawn by four horses. Different elements are judged like for example throwing ability, fair play or decoration of carriages.4. The word "ammunition" (paragraph 3) is closest in meaning to________.A. decorationB. bulletsC. advertisementD. presents5. In Battle of the Oranges, the teams walking beside carriages act as ________.A. the Carnival generalB. the local feudal lordC. the rebellious people of IvreaD. the guards of local tyrant(暴君)6. Which of the following statements about Battle of the Oranges is NOT true?A. In the middle ages, people threw beans out of homes as a sign of rebellion.B. Girls throw oranges towards carriages in the parade to attract the attention of boys inside.C. Tons of oranges are used every year to hold the festival.D. People started to throw oranges because they are of low quality and not suitable to eat.7. What is this passage mainly about?A. A traditional activity in an Italian carnivalB. The origin of Battle of the OrangeC. How people enjoy themselves in the Orange CarnivalD. The rules of activities in carnivals in ItalyCWhen 36-year-old J Andy Duran decided to return to his favorite high school hobby—skateboarding, the only trouble he expected to have was his own ability to get back on the skateboard after such a long time. However, the 340-pound skateboarder soon realizedthatwas the least of his problems.Duran's problems began before he even stepped on a skateboard. He couldn't find anything for fat skaters. What Duran did find was a belief that plus-size people should not be skating. Determined to do something to change the image(形象) of plus-size people in sports, Duran set up Chub Rollz—a skating and skateboarding community for overweight skaters. He knew that not only did he need to get back into it to prove people wrong, but he needed to create a safe space where others can haverepresentation as well.To encourage plus-size people to take part in the fun sport, Duran created a list of recommended products for fat skaters. He also hosted roller skating and skateboarding classes to teach beginners.After an article about his thoughts in the San Francisco Chronicle, Duran received lots of messages from strangers thanking him for giving them the courage to take up skateboarding. He has also been contacted by some skateboarding brands offering to create larger clothing sizes and beenoffered free equipment by skating organizations like "Skate Like a Giri ".Though encouraged, Duran believes a lot more needs to be done to remove body image stereotypes(刻板印象).“I want to see more changes in communities. Maybe skate shops create a more welcoming environment for all types of skaters. Or boards are made in a variety of strengths and sizes—everyone is making thinner, lighter products, but sometimes we need those heavy-duty choices to stay available," he explains.For those hesitant of taking up their desired activity due to their body size, Duran has this to say:“Be kind to yourself. Just because you don't see it doesn't mean you can't be it.”8. What does the underlined word "that" in paragraph 1 refer to?A. The skateboard.B. His hobby.C. His ability.D. The time.9. Why did Duran found Chub Rollz?A. To realize his childhood dream.B. To help plus-size people lose weight.C. To fight for the equal right for fat people.D. To change people's impression of the fat in sports.10. Which word can best describe Duran?A. Generous.B. Inspiring.C. Adaptable.D. Talented.11. Which is most likely Duran's belief?A. Everyone has a gift for sports.B.No one is too fat to enjoy sports.C. Fat people do deserve social concern.D. Skateboarding is most suitable for fat people.DA team of engineers atHarvardUniversity in trying to create the first robotic fly. Designed to do what a fly does naturally, the tiny is the size of a fat housefly. Its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks."The added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none of its components is off the shelf and so we have to develop them all on our own’ said Robert Wood, a Harvard engineering professor.They engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly. “The seemingly simple system which just moves the wings hasa number of interdependencies (相互依赖）on the individual components, each of which individually has to perform well, but then has to be matched well to everything it d connected to,” said Wood.While this first robotic flyer is linked to a small, off-board power source, the goal is eventually to equip it with a built-in power source, so that it might someday perform data-gathering work at rescue sites，in farmers’ fields or on the battlefield. "Basically it should be able to take off, land and fly around，” he said.Wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at insect-scale. Yet, the power, sensing and computation technologies on board could have much broader applications.“You can start thinking about using them to answer open scientific questions, you know, to study biology in ways that would be difficult with the animal，but using these robots instead” he said. "So there are a lot of technologies and open interesting scientific questions that are really what drives us on a day-to-day basis.”12. What is the typical characteristic of the robotic fly?A. It's automatic.B.It's very small.C. It's controllable.D. It's quite powerful.13. We can infer from the passage that the robotic flyer can____ .A. act as a spy planeB. help do farm workC.fly at a very high speedD. answer many scientific questions14. What is Wood's idea about the robotic fly according to the last paragraph?A. It is highly questionable.B. It has wide practical applications.C. It gives scientists interest in flying machines.D. It points to a new direction in studying biology.15. What can be the best title for the passage?A. Harvand's Study in the Field of Insects.B. A Breakthrough in Engineering ScienceC. An Interesting Invention一Robotic FlyD. Robotic Fly一a Copy of Real Life Insect第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。

湖北省鄂东南省级示范高中教育教学放革联盟学校起点考试2024-2025学年高二上学期开学英语试题一、阅读理解New Chief Executive WantedThe Economist Educational Foundation is an independent charity that was established from inside The Economist Group in 2012. We support children from underserved backgrounds to have inspiring discussions about the news, which teach them to creatively solve problems, listen with an open mind and speak with confidence.Children who take part in our programme, Topical Talk, can make significant measurable progress compared with their peers in these essential skills, which support them to thrive at school, in employment and as citizens. They practise these skills to engage with the news, learning to form nuanced views on complex issues and constructively have their say. This is especially important at a time of misinformation and polarisation.Our founding Chief Executive, Emily Evans, has decided to move on to tackle new challenges. She will step down next summer, and we are seeking a new Chief Executive to lead the charity as it embarks on a hugely exciting next phase of global growth. Topical Talk has expanded from a UK pilot in 2013 to reaching over 200,000 children across the world today, and we have ambitious plans for the next decade.We have an extraordinary platform to support our growth ambitions: a talented, highly motivated and supportive team; a collaborative, professional, high-trust culture; and clear strategic focus. We are looking for a leader who can build on this platform and realise our potential for scale at the same time as deepening our impact, ensuring that we always stay focused on making a meaningful difference in the lives of children who are most in need of extra support.If you have experience of scaling an organization while taking a collaborative, inclusive and empowering approach to leadership, and you are keen on our mission, we would love to hear from you. The role is based in The Economist’s headquarters in London at least two days per week.Find more information, including details of how to apply, here: economist foundation.org/chiefexecutive1．What is the aim of The Economist Educational Foundation?A．To involve more citizens in an educational cause.B．To creatively solve global problems.C．To help disadvantaged children develop some core skills.D．To worldwide engage children in wiping out misinformation.2．What is the charity’s future ambition?A．To boost its growth and influence.B．To cope with new challenges.C．To adopt an inclusive way.D．To move its base to London.3．What key qualities are expected in the new Chief Executive?A．Being capable and bossy.B．Being modest and experienced.C．Being talented and diligent.D．Being enthusiastic and cooperative.In 1983, Howard Blatt, an electrical engineer at MIT and a married father, collapsed in his kitchen due to a stroke (中风). This left him with a paralyzed arm and leg and severe aphasia.Aphasia does not affect intellect, so some aphasia sufferers liken it to living in a prison within their own brain; their minds work, yet they are unable to express themselves or understand spoken or written language. The condition can prevent them from speaking, reading, writing or comprehending, sometimes a combination of those, sometimes all of them. At least 2 million people in the U. S. have aphasia, commonly as a result of stroke.Describing his condition, Blatt said: “No talking — zip. Speech — zip. One incident. Changed life.” Blatt adapted to his physical disabilities but never fully recovered. Discovering aid networks for people with aphasia were a rarity in the early 1980s, he co-founded the Aphasia Community Group in 1990 with his wife and others. It’s one of the oldest and largest support groups for aphasia patients and their families, offering services like concerts, book groups, health information, and companionship.Mary Borelli, a stroke survivor, described the group as a lifesaver, providing understanding and a sense of belonging. The group helps break the isolation. Jerry Kaplan, a co-founder and Boston University speech-language pathologist, noted that newcomers often express relief at finding others who share their struggles. Thousands have attended since its founding, finding asafe, comfortable space to connect.Blatt focused on regaining function. He moved from a wheelchair to a leg brace, re-camed his driver’s license, and documented cross-country trips. He also pursued sculpting, house restorations, and created a newsletter called The Aphasia Advocate. Within the Group, he was a role model of adaptability and determination.The Aphasia Community Group, which will celebrate its 35th anniversary next year, remains one of Blatt’s enduring legacies. Kaplan emphasized Blatt’s determination, saying “Though given a tough break in midlife, with young children, at the top of his game in his profession, and his communication gifts were largely wiped out, he did not give in to this for 40-plus years. And not only did he survive; he thrived.”4．What is the second paragraph mainly about?A．The consequences of a stroke.B．The huge aphasia sufferers.C．The causes of a stroke.D．The symptoms of aphasia.5．Why did they set up the Aphasia Community Group?A．To provides companionship for lonely people.B．To address the lack of support for aphasia sufferers.C．To work on a medical cure for aphasia.D．To answer the call of MIT.6．According to the members, what is the significance of the Aphasia Community Group?A．It offers them financial assistance.B．It helps them regain their speech completely.C．It creates a caring community for them.D．It conducts extensive research on their conditions.7．Which saying effectively highlights Howard Blatt’s life story?A．Turn lemons into lemonade.B．Let nature take its course.C．As you sow, so shall you reap.D．Nothing ventured, nothing gained.What if there were no lemonade stands selling a cup for a quarter? No paychecks for parents and no allowances for kids? No library fines and no lottery jackpots? How about no tollbooths or parking meters or car payments — no cars at all for that matter, but we’ll get to thatlater. Imagine, too, if there were no coin tosses to decide who goes first. What would the tooth fairy leave under our pillow?If all this were true, language would be poorer as well. No one would feel like a million bucks. No one would give a penny for your thoughts. And what would be in your wallet? A toothpick, a picture, perhaps a love note, but no credit cards or cold hard cash.Instead of buying, you would have to grow or make whatever you might need. You would do a lot of physical labor in this moneyless world. Want a pair of pants? Then, raise some sheep, shear them, spin the yarn, weave the wool, and sew away. The complex process of manufacturing a car — mining coal, smelting iron, tempering steel, assembling a vehicle — makes it likely that you would have to ride a horse for transportation. You would live like a pioneer on the frontier, everyone more or less equal in the struggle to survive.To stressed-out modern Americans, this simple life may sound appealing, as it seems to create less waste and less greed. Instead of checks, people might spend time writing poems. No money means no rat race, the endless getting and spending, the pressure to keep up with neighbors and friends. In a moneyless world, families and neighbors depend on each other. And, you might have lots of brothers and sisters to share the work.Given how much time it takes to grow and make and fix things, swapping goods and services makes sense. If farmers grow wheat, millers may grind it in return for a share. Barter (物物交换) serves a local economy, but what if people want more — more comfort, more choices? What if they just want to wear something, anything, other than wool and animal skins? The desire for cloth fueled trade in the ancient world. Cotton grows only in warm climates; silkworms develop well in Asia. Traders can transport raw fibers or woven fabric from producers to consumers, but swapping does not work over long distances. Imagine pulling ham and eggs across continents. So, societies developed a portable alternative: money.Money is trust made visible. It does not matter what form it takes — bead or coin or byte in an electronic transaction. It simply represents an agreed-upon value. How did people ever live without it?8．How does the writer introduce the topic?A．By describing a futuristic society B．By imagining a life without moneyC．By explaining the origin of money D．By detailing the history of bartering9．What can we learn from the second paragraph?A．Society values money for its convenience.B．Money greatly enriches expressions.C．Money leads to social disorder.D．People prefer simplicity to money. 10．According to the passage, a moneyless world makes for ________.A．Equality B．Innovation C．Independence D．Competition 11．What is the author’s attitude towards the idea of a modern moneyless world?A．Carefree.B．Unclear.C．Disapproving.D．Supportive.If a stranger offered you a free cookie, you might well eat it. But what if they offered to also give you$2? You might politely decline and walk away thinking, “Something smells fishy.”In a study published in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, researchers found that people tend to turn down offers of “free money” as well as unusually high salaries or suspiciously cheap services because they seem“ too good to be true.” The research bridges economics and psychology to explain why financial attraction can backfire.In the initial experiment, nearly 40 percent of participants ate a cookie offered freely — compared with about 20 percent of those offered $2 as well. “People typically imagine things like that someone did something disgusting to the cookie,” says study lead author Andrew J. V onasch, a psychological scientist at University of Canterbury in New Zealand.If someone seems to violate accepted norms such as self- interest without explanation, we assume they have hidden motives and infer there will be “phantom costs”: imagined consequences that reduce what Vonasch calls an offer’s “psychological value”.Factors beyond the present moment may come into play.“ Understanding that others’ noticeable overgenerosity may put us in their debt could also help explain people’s reluctance,” says Rachel McCloy, a psychologist studying decision-making at England’s University of Reading.“ The old maxim’ there’s no such thing as a free lunch’ is clearly alive and well.”Another experiment found that high scorers on measures of distrust inferred more phantom costs. The researchers also showed how to minimize the effect: simply provide a reason for the deal. The “cheap flights” experiment included a condition where the seats were revealed to be very uncomfortable.“ Uncomfortable seats aren’t typically a selling point,” V onasch says. “But telling people the seats were uncomfortable made them more willing to take them because it wassufficient clarification.”12．What is the meaning of the underlined word backfire in the second paragraph?A．Cause a positive outcome unexpectedly.B．Have the opposite effect of the one intended.C．Improve the effectiveness of a strategy.D．Enhance the value of an offer.13．Why is the saying “there is no such thing as a free lunch” quoted in the last but one paragraph?A．To promote generosity in society.B．To serve as a supporting argument.C．To highlight hidden costs of generous offers.D．To remind people to be cautious of free items.14．Which case can reduce “Phantom Costs”?A．Offering more money.B．Providing additional unrelated gifts.C．Discounting the price further.D．Giving a plausible explanation. 15．Which could be the best title of the text?A．Phantom Costs: Why Some Deals Seem Too Good to Be TrueB．Phantom Costs: What Is The Science of Financial AttractionC．Psychological Value: Why People Reject Free Money and OfferD．Psychological Value: How People interpret Overgenerosity in DealsTop tips from Life Kit on how to make your summer safer and brighter When it comes to bright ideas, our Life Kit experts have a lot of them. This month, they offered timely guidance on summer safety and science-backed strategies on how to boost memory and improve sleep.● 16 One study found that changing your environment in a very simple way, like getting out of your office to work in the kitchen or go for a walk, contributes to your creativity. “Now, the creativity boost that you get from simply changing your environment lasts for only about six minutes. However, those six minutes could be quite important. 17 ” says Tali Sharot.If you have a ton on your mind as you’ re trying to fall asleep, quiet the chatter by writing a to-do list. Write out each issue or task and a specific next step that you will take tomorrow to address it, says Allison Harvey. 18 “Once people get into problem-solving, that becomes arousing.”● If the temperature is in the high 90s and you don’t have air conditioning at home, go to a cooling center. “That might be something like a community center, a public library, a coffee shop,a movie theater or a mall,” says Paul Schramm. 19● Don’t want to forget where you parked your car? Slow down and focus on what you want to remember, says neuroscientist Lisa Genova. 20 “The first necessary ingredient in creating a longer-lasting memory is attention. We need that input — otherwise that memory doesn’t get made.” So if you can’t find your parking spot, you probably weren’t paying attention to it in the first place.A．When people complain about having memory problems, they’re often having focus problems. B．That could be the big eureka moment.C．You should have your phone nearby in case you need to call 911.D．Electric fans are not enough — they will just move around hot air.E．If you want to protect your home and loved ones, position your gas or charcoal grill in an open environment.F．If you need a breakthrough at work, move to a different location.G．Don’t try to actually fix the problem, though.二、完形填空It’s one of those things that we don’t see coming and that make life so very interesting.The other day, I was sorting out the contents of an untidy cupboard and 21 the things my wife and I had accumulated over the years when I 22 a file folder hidden away in a back corner.

The thinking goes 36 someone living in China around the first century B．C．37 (throw) a piece of bamboo on a fire and it exploded with a bang. Bamboo stalks (节) contain air pockets that can expand and blow up in extreme heat. Chinese travelers would carry bamboo on journeys in case they neededto create 38 loud noise to scare away wild animals.The next major development came around the ninth century, when gunpowder was invented. Chinese producers loaded up bamboo stalks with gunpowder 39 (create) perhaps the world’s first manufactured fireworks, and later began using paper tubes as well. These were employed to ward off evil spirits and celebrate births and weddings. By the 12th century, fireworks were being lit 40 entertainment purposes in China’s imperial court. Around the 14th century, primitive fireworks then made their way to Europe, 41 Italian artists constructed displays like theatrical sets called “machines” and set off fireworks inside them.Fireworks became far 42 (complex) thanks to advances in chemistry. The 19th century saw potassium chlorate (a chemical) 43 (use) to bring out brilliant colors in fireworks, such as red and green, and enhance their44 (bright).Over the years, innovations in technology led to some curious suggestions for 45 fireworks could help solve modern problems.

Some people go to fast food restaurants for these reasons. In the past, people usually went to diners(路边小餐馆)for these reasons. In fact, many people in the States still go to diners today for the same reasons.A man named Walter Scott had the first “diner〞in 1872. It wasn’t really a diner. It was only a food cart(手推车). People on the street walked up to the cart to buy food. These carts served late–night workers who wanted a cup of coffee and a late–night meal. The meal was a sandwich or boiled eggs. In 1887, Samuet Jones built the first diner big enough to allow the customers to come inside. However, they did not sit down. Later, people built diners with counters (柜台)and stools(板凳), and people sat down while they ate.Before long, many diners stayed open around the clock. In other words, people were able to eat in a diner at any time. Diners changed in other ways, too. The original menu of sandwiches and coffee became bigger. It included soup, favorite dishes, and a breakfast menu. In addition(另外), diners soon became permanent〔永久的〕 buildings. They were no longer carts on wheels.Today, many people eat in fast-food restaurants such as McDonald’s and Burger King. However, the diner remains an American tradition, and thousands of people still enjoy eating there. It was popular a century ago, and it is still popular today.51. Why did people in the past usually go to diners? Which of the following is NOTthe answer?A. They could eat quickly there.B. They just liked to eat out.C. It was cheap to eat there.D. It was interesting to eat there.52. Why is the first diner in the second paragraph in quotation marks (引号)?A.Because it is spelled differently from “dinner〞.B.Because the first diner was not a real diner,C.Because it is a new word.D.Because it is a special kind of restaurant.53. What meals did the first diner serve?A.Only breakfastB. Only lunchC.Only night-mealsD. All of the above54. According to the third paragraph, diners changed in _____ ways.A. twoB. threeC. fourD. five(B)Mr. Black was the head of an office. He was very busy and often went to another city on business. He had no children and his wife stayed at home alone when he was out. The woman h ad nothing to do and was interested in others’ secrets. She always hoped to talk with somebody about it. And it often made her happy.Once Mr. Black was sent to the capital and he would stay there for half a year. His wife felt lonely and often went to the park. There she made friends with a few women like her and they often spent much time in chattering(聊天).It rained for nearly ten days one autumn. Mrs. Black could not go to the parkto chatter. She had to stay at home and felt deeper loneliness. As soon as the rain stopped, she went to the park again and her friends were waiting for her there. They were happy to meet again and began to chatter.“The wall between my rooms and my neighbours (邻居) are very thin,〞complained(抱怨)Mrs. Black, “and my neighbours c an hear what we say in my rooms.〞“That’s easy,〞one of the women said. “You’d better hang some thick tapestries (挂毯) on the walls and they won’t hear anything, I think.〞“I’m afraid I can’t agree with you,〞said Mrs. Black. “I won’t be able to hear what my neighbours say if I do as you suggested!〞55. According to the passage, which of the following about Mrs. Black is WRONG?A.Her husband had little time to stay with her.B.She had no children and no job.C.She was very happy every day .D.She felt lonely while her husband went out.56.

He kept his mouth shut. In his right hand he still held the knife. He quickly cut open the bag, got his arm out, and then his body. But he could not free himself from the stone; it was pulling him down. Then he reached down and cut the stone free, just as he felt that he was at the end of his strength. He rose quickly to the top of the water, while the stone pulled down to the bottom of the sea the bag which had almost become his gravecloth(寿衣) indeed.Dantes drew in the night air. Then he began to swim under the water so that he might not be seen. When he came up a second time he was nearly a hundred yards (英尺) from the place where he had first touched the sea. He saw above him a black and stormy sky over which the wind was driving the hurrying clouds. In frond of him lay the great ocean, black, fearful. Behind him, blacker than the sea, blacker than the sky, rose th e Cateaud’If (伊夫堡), whose rocks like arms held out to seize him; and on the highest rock, was a lamp that lighted the forms (人影) of two men.He thought that they were looking at the sea; perhaps they had heard his cry. Dantes went down again under the water and remained there a long time.59. When he was nearly a hundred yards away he _____ .A.was very happyB.began to free himselfC.was sure he was safeD.was afraid of being found60. From the passage we can conclude that the rope must have tied the stone to _____ .A.his armB. his feet or his legsC. his headD. his hand61. Which of the following is the correct order?a.Dantes rose to the top the water for air.b.Dantes was tied in a bag and throw into the sea.c.He rose to the top again.d.He freed himself.e.He swam under the water.f.He stay under the water.A. b, d, a, e, f, cB. b, d, a, e, c, fC. f, c, e, a, b, dD. b, d, e, a, f, c(D)New Zealand is an English-speaking country. But the government recognizes another language, too. This is the Maori language. English sailors began to visitNew Zealand after 1770. They found a dark-skinned people living there. These were the Maoris. They had come from islands in the Pacific Ocean 400 years before —in the 14th century.For a long time the British government was not very interested in these far-away islands. It was made a British colony (殖民地) in 1840. In this year the first British people came to settle in the new country. More and more settlers came from Britain after that.The Maoris were friendly to the first settlers. But soon the new settlers wanted the Maoris' land. So in 1844 there was fighting between them. This was the firstof several wars between the two peoples. The next fifty years were very bad for the Maoris. Many were killed in the wars. Many more died from the new diseases brought by the British. In 1840 there were perhaps 200, 000 Maoris. By 1896 this number had fallen to 42, 000.62. The Maoris began to live in New Zealand ____.A. after 1770B. before 400C. in the 1300sD. 1400 years ago63. After the first visit to New Zealand, the British government showed little interest in it because ____.A. there were dark-skinned people living thereB. New Zealand was an island countryC. the Maoris did not know the English languageD. it was too far away from Britain64. When the British settlers first came to New Zealand, the native people ____.A. were afraid of themB. were kind to themC. hated themD. fought against them65. Wars between the Maoris and the British settlers ____.A. broke out in 1840B. made 42, 000 Maoris lose their livesC. brought diseases to MaorisD. lasted more than fifty years66. Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?A. Now New Zealand has a population of 2,780,000.B. Maoris can speak both English and Maoris language.C. About 250, 000 Maoris are now living in New Zealand.D. Maoris are allowed to keep their own language.(E)All of us eat every day，but most of us don't understand nutrition(营养). We often make mistakes in talking about good diet. For example, many people think thatfoods such as rice, bread and potatoes will make one grow fat. In fact, these foods are very good to one's health. They are good sources (来源)of many vitamins. And in comparison (比拟)with steak and beef, they contain less amount(量)of calories.Some people don't like canned(罐装的) or frozen vegetable, because they think fresh vegetable cooked at home are always better. This is again wrong. In fact whether the vegetables are good or not depends more on how they are prepared. Overcooking, for example, destroys many good qualities of vegetables. Vegetables cooked in too much water can lose a large amount of vitamins.It is widely believed that extra vitamins provide more energy. But taking more than the body needs doesn't make it work better.67. The passage is mainly about ____ .A. nutritionB. vitaminsC. vegetablesD. health68. Rice, bread and potatoes, do good to people's health mainly because ____ .A. they make people fatB. there are a lot of vitamins in themC. they contain less amount of calories compared with steak and beefD. both B and C69. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Many people know almost everything about nutrition.B. Food such as rice, bread and potatoes make people fat.C. Vegetables grown in poor, worn-out soil may have the same amount of vitaminsas vegetables grown in rich soil.D. Extra vitamins provide less energy.70. The point of the passage is that ____ .A. the minerals in a plant depend on the minerals in the soilB. people make mistakes when talking about good dietC. taking more vitamins than the body needs doesn't make it work betterD. vegetables cooked in too much water can lose a large amount of vitamins第二卷第四局部:(一共两节, 满分是50分)第一节完成句子(一共10小题, 每一小题2分, 满分是20分)71.
