A young man, wet from 17 to toe, explained that he had 18 out of petrol about 30 km up the road. He had left his wife and his two children 19 at the car and said that he would hitchhike(搭便车) back. Once I had 20 a can with petrol, I took him back to his car where his two-year-old and four-year-old children were both 21 , saying that they were cold.Once the car had started, I suggested that he could 22 me back. Before leaving, I had turned the heater 23 in the roadhouse, so that when we went in, it was nice and warm. While the little ones played and ran 24 , I prepared bread and butter for the children, and hot chocolate for the adult. It was about 5 a.m. before they 25 .The young fellow asked me how much he should pay for and I told him that the petrol pump(加油泵) had 26 $15. He offered to pay “call-out fee”, but I wouldn’t accept it.About a month later, I received a 27 from Interstate, a large bus company that we had been trying to get to stop off at our roadhouse for a long time. It 28 out that the young fellow I had helped was its general manager, the most 29 person in the company.

Today Austen’s books are more popular than ever. In the last 10 years, five of her six novels have been made into Hollywood films, while her books continue to be best-sellers.Richard Jenkyns, a professor of English at Oxford University, says that her novels are about ma rriage, friendships and the family, which are still with us today. “The stories are timeless,” Jenkyns said.Pride and Prejudice(偏见)(1813) is Austen’s most famous work. It is a love story about Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy. At first, these two dislike each other. Elizabeth is pretty, smart and lively. She is proud because Darcy doesn’t know about her family. Mr. Darcy is handsome, rich and has a better family background. So, he is proud as well. At the same time, Darcy holds a prejudice against the Bennet family. He has no understanding of why the family, especially its mother and daughters should try so hard to find wealthy and powerful husbands. He thinks they are vulgar. Anyway, Elizabeth and Darcy finally fall in love and become a romantic couple but t heir families don’t want them to.In Pride and Prejudice, some of the main things that Jane Austen wants to teach people are as follows. Opposites can attract each other. Lovers should not only make each other feel relaxed or comfortable, but also educate and improve each other.Austen is often called the greatest romantic writer, so it is surprising she remained unmarried. “Maybe she was too romantic, waiting for the perfect man,” Jenkyns says.34. From Paragraph 1and Paragraph 2, we can know __________ .A. Jane Austen passed away in her fiftiesB. Austen’s works remain popular todayC. all of Austen’s works have been made into Hollywood films.D. Austen’s works are mostly about war and the family.35. What does the underlined word “vulgar” in Paragraph 3 mean?A.粗俗的B.鲁莽的C.吝啬的D.狡诈的36. Elizabeth hasn’t a first good impression of Mr. Darcy because he is___________ .A. too richB. too shyC. too proudD. too rude37. Which of the following sentences is True?A. Elizabeth and Darcy fall in love at first sight.B. Elizabeth has a better family background than Darcy.C. Darcy has a first good impression of Elizabeth’s family.D. Elizabeth and Darcy become a romantic couple in the end.CI will never forget my experiences in the United States. I went to an American collegea year ago. Yet I did not know the real American society until I was hurt in a car accident because after the accident I had to see a doctor and go to court（法院）.After the accident, my roommate called a doctor for me. I was very grateful and decided to repay him one day. But the next day, he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done. I was surprised. He had a good reason to charge me, he said. And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible(负有责任的) for my accident, I’d have to have a good lawyer. And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer. Now that he had helped me find a good doctor, it was only fair that I should pay him. But every day I went to see the doctor, I had to wait about 50 minutes. He would see two or three patients at the same time, and often stop treating one so as to see another. Yet he charged me $115 each time. The final examination report consisted of ten lines, and it cost me $215. My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met. But after that he avoided seeing me at all. He knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident, yet he hardly didanything. He simply waited to collect his money. He was so irresponsible that I decided to refuse his help. And he made me pay him $770. [来源:Now I had to act as my own lawyer. I told the insurance(保险）company the date I was leaving America because of my inexperience（缺少经验）. Knowing that, they played for time and I left without getting a cent.My experiences taught me two things about America: firstly, in a country like America money is everything. It is more important than friendship, honor or professional morality. Secondly, foreigners are still being unfairly treated. So when we talk about America, we should see both its good and bad sides.38. The writer’s roommate offered to help him because________.A. he thought it was a chance to make some moneyB. he felt sorry for the writerC. he knew the doctor was a very good oneD. he wanted the writer to have a good lawyer39. A good lawyer is important for the writer to __________.A. be well treated by the doctorB. get well before he leaves that countryC. talk with the person responsible for the accidentD. get money from the person responsible for the accident40. Both the doctor and the lawyer in this passage are very__________.A. selfishB. friendlyC. rudeD. busy41. The underlined word “charge” in the second pa ragraph means ______.A. 职责B. 掌管C. 要价D. 命令42. What conclusion can you get from the story?A. America is not a perfect country.B. One must be very careful while driving a car.C. There are more bad sides in America than good sides.D. Going to court is something very common in America.四、词语运用（每小题1分，共16分）A. 选择方框内的单词或词组填空，其中有一个单词或词组是多余的。

They live next to each other and their farms are both at the foot of the mountain. So they can help each other. But neither of them likes to use his head. They're both poor though they work hard. Most villagers have built new houses, but they still live in the low and broken houses. They never find out why.Once Uncle Li went to town to buy some medicine for his wife. In the town he heard the apples in a city were expensive. He told Uncle Wang about it as soon as he went back. They decided to carry some apples to the city. They borrowed some money from their friends and bought nearly 1,000 kilograms of apples in the villages and carried them to the city on a tractor. Bad luck! A lot of apples has already been carried there when they arrived. A few days later they had to sell them at a low price (价格). They felt unhappy and returned to their village."I can't understand why we sustained (蒙受) losses in business while others always profit (盈利)" Uncle Li asked one day."The tractor was too small " Uncle Wang said without thinking. "We'll carry more apples on a truck next time!""I agree!" said Uncle Li. "How foolish (傻的) we were !"( )1.

It was a tiresome walk from one end of the city to another and to sit among adults was uninteresting. I was the youngest in the class, so the friendship I knew at school was absent, I put up with it for a short period. It was too long a walk on cold winter’s nights and it was hard to put my heart into Shakespeare with wet shoes and trousers. So I continued reading books and startedwriting poetry at home.By chance, I won some prizes and rewards for literature. A young woman from a TV company came to the college one day. She wanted to make a short film about me, to which I said, “No, I couldn’t do that.” Not that I had any real excuse, I was just frightened. In the end she advised me that I should do it the following day.So I did. They made a short film of me reading one of my poems and I became more interested in literature than ever. I wondered what I should do after this, and decided some weeks later that I could not imagine myself spending the rest of my days dealing with machines. So one evening, I hesitatingly（支吾其词地） told my parents that I wanted to return to school. They wanted to know if I was sure, if I knew what it meant and whether I realized that if I gave up my job training, it would be very difficult to get a good job. But nothing could stop me, and they asked about the matter on future.( )5. Which of the following has most probably been discussed in the paragraphs above this text?A. The writer’s unhappy childhood.B. The poor teaching quality of the writer’s school.C. The writer’s leaving school against his teacher’s advice.D.

Besides the earth, the “red planet” is seen, as the one place in our solar system most likely to have life.Early last month, the first American robot, Spirit, landed on Mars without any problem. Opportunity, the second robot, landed on the planet more than a week ago. Scientists are very excited about these machines’ safe landing on Mars. It means that now we have an excellent chance to look for water and other signs of life. So far, the rob ots have found some stones that could show Mars was once a wet and warm planet.But the trips made by Spirit and Opportunity were dangerous. Mars is often called the “death planet”, because in the past its environment has been unfriendly to the robotexplorers. Before Spirit and Opportunity, nearly forty spaceships had been sent to Mars since the 1960s. Two-thirds of them failed. The first spaceship, Korabl, sent in 1962 by Russia was among them. It broke apart (分裂) near the earth.( )8. ________ is the latest place we’re using machines to explore.A. MarsB. SunC. EarthD. Moon( )9.

The third paragraph mainly tell us ________.A. it’s a very hard and dangerous trip for spaceships to MarsB. two-thirds of the spaceships sent to Mars have failedC. Spirit and Opportunity landed on Mars successfullyD. Mars is called the “death planet”DIn the 1920s and 30s the airlines were just beginning. It was unusual for people to travel by air because it was expensive and dangerous. In those days, there were no flight attendants to look after the passengers. Young men ,or “stewards” helped the passengers onto the airplane and carried the passengers’ luggage(行李)but they did not provide food and drinks. But then in 1930,a woman called Ellen Church invented the “stewardess”.Ellen Church was born in 1904 on a farm in Iowa. She was a different child. She didn’t want to work on a farm or marry a farmer —she wanted a more adventurous(冒险的)life. Ellen studied to be a nurse at the University of Minnesota and then got a job in a hospital. For the next few years she stayed at the hospital but also took flying lessons and got her pilot’s license.Ellen was twenty-five years old when she first got in touch with Boeing Air Transport. She loved flying but she understood that airlines were a man’s world. Although women like Emelia Earheart were becoming famous, she realized it was impossible for a woman to have a career as a pilot .But she had another idea. Most people were frightened of flying because. flying was still an unreliable(不可靠的) way to travel. There were often delays(延误),many crashes and the bad weathers made many passengers sick. Ellen thought nurses could take care of passengers during flights and B.A.T. agreed.The young woman from Iowa and seven other nurses became the first air stewardesses.At first pilots were unhappy because they did not want stewardesses on airplanes, but passengers loved the stewardesses. In 1940 there were around 1000 of them working for differe nt airlines. The early “stewardesses” had to be under twenty-five-year-old, single and slim. When a woman joined an airline, she had to promise not to get married or have children. It was hard job and not well paid. They worked long hours and earned ＄1 an hour.In the 1970s, stewardesses were unhappy in their job and airlines had to make some changes. Since the 1970s, “stewardesses” have been called flight attendants. They are well paid and work fewer hours than in the past.（）12. The last sentence of the first paragraph suggests that _________.A. the word “stewardess” was made up by Ellen ChurchB. Ellen Church was the first woman who flew a planeC. Ellen Church was the first woman who worked on a planeD. Ellen Church was the first woman passenger on a plane（） 13. From the second paragraph, we learn that ________.A. Ellen did not behave in the same way as most other girlsB. Ellen’s family was not rich enough to support her educationC. Ellen was fond of working as a nurse in the hospitalD. Ellen has an unhappy childhood that changed her completely（）14.The main reason for Boeing Air Transport offering Ellen the job was ________.A. her flying experienceB. her university educationC. her nursing experienceD. her life attitudes（）15 .The passage mainly talks about _______.A. the background of early flying pilotsB. the experience of flying passengersC. the history of early flight attendantsD. the development of airplanes第II 卷（非选择题共60分）四、词汇运用（共15分，每小题1分）A) 根据括号中所给的汉语写出单词，使句子意思完整正确。

enjoy making the other person look bad．But in the end，bitterness hurts you much more than the other person．The bitterness will hold you back，and the other person will go on with his or her

villages and forests．Then it reached a desert．"I went through so many difficulties．I should have no problem crossing the desert，"she thought．As she started，she found herself slowly disappearing into the sand．After many times，she still failed．"Maybe I can't reach the ocean．"She said sadly to herself．At this time，a deep voice said，"If a breeze （微风）can cross the desert，so can a river．"It was the voice of the desert．But the little stream answered，"That's because a breeze can fly，but I cannot．""That's because you can't give up what you are．Let yourself evaporate（蒸发）into the breeze，and it can take you across，"said the desert．"Give up what I am now？No!No!"The little stream could not accept this idea．"The breeze can carry the vapor （水汽）across the desert and let it leave as rain．The rain will form a river again，"said the desert，"And whether you're a river or vapor，your nature never changes．"Hearing this，this little stream went into the open arms of the breeze．It carried her to the next stage of her life．The course of our lives is like the experience of the little stream．If you want to go through difficulties in your life to head for success，you should also change the way you are．31．The little stream before she got to the desert．A．didn't meet much difficultyB．was worried about herselfC．knew well about the desertD．was confident about herself32．The little stream finally

US government wants more seat belt laws．It says children aged 4to 15are often killed in car accidents．In 2005，there were 1，627children aged 4to 15killed in car accidents．More than 1，000of those children were not wearing seat belts．If they had been wearing seat belts，500of those children could be alive today．These children are too old to be in car seats，but they often sit in the back seat．Seat belt laws in many states，including Wisconsin，only require people in the front seat to wear seat belts．Children who aren't wearing seat belts can be thrown from the car．The risk of dying in an accident is three times greater if the person is thrown from the car．New laws could require children aged 4to 8to be in booster seats in the car．Booster seats help seat belts fit children properly．Right now，only 5percent of children aged 4to 8are seated in booster seats（儿童座椅）．While parents have the choice of whether wearing seat belts or not，children are too young to make that choice．Even if you decide not to wear a seat belt，make sure you children are in seat belts and car seats．It's the law and it will save their lives．34．The underlined sentence"Everyone gets sick of

space vegetables，and to show you that space vegetables are healthy and good for you．Space vegetables are grown from seeds（种子）that have been taken to and brought back from outer space．The seeds are affected by radiation and low gravity in outer space．When they are brought back to the Earth，these seeds produce vegetables that are bigger，healthier and more nutritious （有营养的）than normal vegetables．However，some people worry about eating space vegetables．They think that space vegetables might not be good for us and could give us cancer as a result of their exposure （暴露）to radiation in space．People should not be scared，as space vegetables are actually perfectly healthy．Here are some facts that you should know about space vegetables：Space vegetables are grown from seeds that are carefully selected．When seeds are brought back from space，they are tested to make sure that the vegetables they grow will be safe to eat．There are no traces of radiation after testing．Space vegetables are better for you than normal vegetables．For example，space tomatoes stay fresh for twenty days，which is one week longer than normal tomatoes．Another popular space vegetable is the pepper（辣椒）．Space peppers contain 20per cent more Vitamin C than normal peppers．After genetically modified（改进的）foods come onto the market，people worry that they are eating unknown things．For example，if nut genes are put inside potatoes，people allergic（对…过敏）to nuts might get very sick from eating these potatoes because they do not know they are also eating nuts．Unlike genetically modified foods，space vegetables

to【分析】汤姆在考虑着换工作，因为他不习惯于早起．【解答】答案：A．本题考查非谓语动词的用法．根据语境推测句意是"汤姆在考虑着换工作，因为他不习惯于早起．"由第一个设空处前面的consider 判断此题考查句式"consider doing考虑做某事"；第二个设空处根据句意和后面的getting判断考查be used to doing"习惯于做某事"，所以选A．【点评】本题考查非谓语动词的用法，抓住句中的关键词并联系相关的语法知识可得出正确的答案．平时注意对此类短语或句式用法的总结与归纳．11．（1分）﹣﹣﹣Are you _________ that our football team will win the match？﹣﹣﹣____________．We play even better on match point，and it's __________ that we're goingto win．（）A．sure，likely，certain B．sure，Sure，certainC．certain，Certainly，sure D．certain，Surely，sure【分析】﹣你确定我们的球队会赢得比赛吗？﹣当然．我们甚至在赛点上踢得更好，我们一定会赢的．【解答】答案：B作形容词时，sure和certain都表示当然的，但区别在于sure的主语为人，certain 的主语为事物．作副词时，sure和certainly可以直接用于回答，表示当然地．第一个空主语you是人，要用sure；第二个空用于回答"当然"，可用sure和certainly；第三个空的it形式主语，真正的主语we're going to win指的是事情，要用certain．结合分析可知答案为B．【点评】此题首先要搞清sure，certain和certainly的区别，再根据题干，判断出每个空应该使用哪一个单词，再结合分析，选出正确的答案．12．（1分）The girl seemed too busy __________ her test _________ her mother enter the room．（）A．preparing，to notice B．to prepare，to noticeC．Preparing，noticing D．to prepare，noticing【分析】女孩似乎忙着准备考试，没注意她母亲进了房间．【解答】答案：A根据seemed too busy 结合选项可知seem在此为系动词，所以此处相当于运用了固定表达be busy doing sth意为"忙于做某事"；所以首空应该用动名词preparing；结合too busy 及语境可知此句运用了固定句式too…to"太…而不能…"，所以第二个空应该用to notice，整句话意为：女孩似乎忙着准备考试，没注意她母亲进了房间．综合以上分析，故选：A【点评】此题考查非谓语动词的用法．做题时联系关键词结合固定用法在联系语境的基础上，找到主要的句型，综合起来选出正确答案．13．（1分）Tom didn't know___________________________．（）A．where were the Asian Games heldB．if the colour therapy worksC．who was Mary waiting forD．how much it cost to fly to Tibet【分析】汤姆不知道飞去西藏要花多少钱？【解答】答案：D．know后加宾语从句，引导词+陈述句语序，排除A，C．主句是一般过去时，从句用过去的时态，故排除B，故答案是D．【点评】本题旨在考查宾语从句这一语法，做这类题时，要从三方面考虑：一、选准连接词二、连接词后紧跟从句的主语三、若主句是过去时，从句要改为相对应的过去时．14．（1分）﹣Are you going to take part in the speech competition？﹣．It's too good a chance to miss．（）A．No problem B．Thanks a lotC．Never mind D．That's for sure【分析】﹣你将会参加演讲比赛吗？﹣﹣那是肯定．这是很好的一次机会，不容错过．【解答】答案：D 根据答句中"It's too good a chance to miss．"（表示这是一个好机会不能错过）可知此人是肯定要去的．No problem没问题（当别人请求你帮忙时所用的答句）；Thanks a lot非常感谢（表达对对方的谢意）；Never mind不介意（用来回答would you mind句型）；That's for sure．那是肯定的．故选D．【点评】本题考查日常交际用语．要根据上下文来揣摩作者想表达的意思，并能熟练掌握口语交际中的固定问答句，才能正确的做出选择．二、完型填空（本大题共10分，每小题10分）先通读下面的短文，掌握其大意，然后在每小题所给的四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项．15．（10分）After a long day at school，I walked home with my

Well, that's what Mark Zuckerberg, CEO and founder of Facebook, just said he would do.Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan promised to give 90% of their Facebook shares to society. Right now that is about $ 45 billion, and they plan to donate the money to things like science and education.Many billionaires have done similar things. Bill Gates, creator of Microsoft, made The Giving Pledge, an activity in which billionaires promise to donate more than half of their wealth to charities. This started in 2010, and now 139 people from 15 countries joined it.But giving back and helping others isn't just for big billionaires. People like Zuckerberg and Gates may have more to give, but people with less are doing it, too.Especially around the holidays，people want to do their part and give back to people whoare less lucky than them.Schools may have food collections where people bring a few food items，and together they can make a big donation to places like homeless people's homes.People also host special events like concerts or runs to be creative while raising money.Regular people donate whatever they can to US charities like the United Way and the American Red Cross.Then these charities are able to help US communities in different ways like education，health and improving the lives of the poor.These individual（个人的）donations come together to make a big difference.31．Mark Zuckerberg promised to donate __________.A．90%of their Facebook shares to societyB．half of his wealth to the charitiesC．all of his money to charitiesD．45 billion yuan to society32．What does the underlined word“shares”mean？A．分享B．股份C．给予D．参与33．According to Paragraph 3，The Giving Pledge __________.A．started just ten years agoB．is a charity to raise moneyC．has attracted 139 peopleD．is only for US people34．According to this passage，regular people __________.A．get help from rich peopleB．hold special events to celebrate holidaysC．help the people who is less luckyD．collect food in homeless people's home35．What can we learn from the story？A．It's rich people's duty to give more money.B．There are more charities in the US than in China.C．The poor should work hard to make a living.D．Everyone can do their part to help others.There's much to see under the sea, but you need to remember that light behavesdifferently in water than in air. The objects appear closer to you than they exactly are. You might find yourself reaching out to touch something and completely missing it.Objects under water will appear larger than they would on the surface, too. Be careful not to tell any stories about the big fish that got away. That fish might not be so big after all! It's just because sometimes things can seem to be as much as about 33 percent bigger in water!What's more, in deeper water, colors just don't seem as bright. In fact, it looks as if some colors are missing. Remember the color of an object results from the wavelengths（波长）of light that are reflected（反射）from its surface. And light is taken in as it moves down through the water.Swimmers wear wet suits to keep warm underwater. Let's take a bright red, yellow, and blue wet suit as an example. These colors are hard to miss on the surface of water. Watch carefully the changes in color as you descend in the water. The red part now looks almost black because the red light wavelengths, the longest among these three colors, are missing. As you go down deeper, the same thing will happen to the yellow part and in the end to the blue part. Even at a place of about 6 to 9 meters underwater, you will look terrible, like a ghost（鬼怪）! And you have to wait for your return to the surface to enjoy the bright colors again!36．You miss the object underwater when you want to touch it because .A．your eyesight is quite poor B．you are not quick enoughC．it is not as close as it seems D．it disappears very quickly37．The example of the wet suit is used to explain the change of of an object underwater.A．the size B．the color C．the position D．the weight 38．The underlined word “descend” probably means in Chinese in this passage. A．上升B．漂浮C．屏息D．下潜39．Which of the following is TRUE?A．A four-meter-long fish looks three meters long underwater.B．The wavelengths of red light are longer than those of blue light.C．Much water will be taken in by the swimmer deep in the water.D．You will see a ghost if you go as deep as 6 to 9 meters into the sea.40．The best title of this passage is .A．The Standard of Color Underwater B．The Direction of Light Underwater C．The Brightness of Color Underwater D．The Behavior of Light Underwater四、根据首字母填空（A）根据括号中的中文提示及句意，写出句中所缺单词。

He is，even today，believed to have courage and adventure（冒险）. But what was the life of a cowboy really like？The cowboy's job is clear from the word "cowboy”. A cowboy，according to dictionary explanation，is a man who rides a horse and whose job is to care for cattle（牛）. The cattle were in the West and in Texas. People in the cities of the East wanted beef from these cattle. Trains could take the cattle east. But first the cattle had to get to the trains. Part of the cowboy's job was to take the cattle hundreds of miles to the railroad towns.These trips were called cattle drives. A cattle drive usually took several months. Cowboys rode for sixteen hours a day. Because they rode so much，each cowboy brought along about eight horses. A cowboy changed horses several times each day.The cowboys had to make sure that the cattle arrived safely. Before starting on a drive，the cowboys branded（给……烙上印）the cattle. They burned a mark on the cattle to show who they belonged to. But these marks didn't stop rustlers（盗窃牲口的人），or cattle thieves. Cowboys had to protect the cattle from rustlers. Rustlers made the already dangerous trip even more dangerous.Even though their work was very difficult and dangerous, cowboys did not earn much money. They were paid badly. But cowboys liked their way of life. They lived in a wild and open country.

Kennedy's quote(引语）"Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought." shows an unpleasant truth.Much of what we know and believe has been taught to us by others, and we often accept this information without spending much time thinking it over for ourselves.In today's world, we are being presented with information, ideas and beliefs, but many of them are against each other. Psychology(心理学）tells us that if we hear an idea enough times, or心t comes from someone we respect(尊敬), we will probably believe that idea. In these cases, we base our opinions on the opinions of others. If each of us does not think about this information for ourselves and come to our own conclusions , we will become nothing more than parrots（鹦鹉）quoting the opinions of others.Examples of spreading fake news without thought can be seen on the Internet. Some people believe whatever they read and then share the story without thinking about the facts. All it takes is one quick click(点击）of the "share" button, and the story travels on its way to influence even more unthinking readers. This can cause serious problems.If we just stop for a moment to think about what we read and hear, and form our own opinions, we will be more thoughtful, more independent, and more creative people, but fewtake that time. Yet we need not lose heart over this bad habit. In fact, simply becoming aware (意识到）of it is the first step towards correcting it. Once we become aware that we tend(趋向）to hold opinions and beliefs without thinking them through, we can change that pattern of behavior. Hopefully, we can learn to experience and enjoy the "discomfort of thought" and form our own opinions.37．What's the purpose of this passage?A．To describe how Internet news spreads.B．To explain why people don't have their own opinions.C．To tell people that they should have their own thoughts.D．To warn people not to believe other people's ideas.38．The underlined word "fake" in Paragraph 4 probably meansA．untrueB．unhappyC．unfairD．unusual39．How can we have our own opinions according to the passage?A．By spreading the information we receive.B．By learning more about psychology.C．By quoting others' opinions like parrots.D．By thinking about what we read and hear.40．We can probably find this passage in a book aboutA．historyB．educationC．sportsD．languagesIf I were to ask you to close your eyes and I gave you a piece of apple to eat，would you be able to tell me what it is just by tasting it？Of course，you could. Your tongue（舌头）helps you know what different foods taste like. Do you know that foods would taste different if you did not have a nose？What You Need☆a friend to help☆small pieces of any food like carrot，orange，banana-whatever you have☆small pieces of apples，raw（uncooked）potato and（if you are brave）onion（洋葱）What You DoThere are actually three different experiments. You and your friend should take turns trying them on each other.Experiment1:Have your friend close her eyes and open her mouth. Give her a piece of the food and ask her to taste it. Then, ask her what she thinks it is. She will probably guess correctly.Experiment2:While your friend has her eyes closed, give her a piece of raw potato. At the same time, hold a piece of apple right under her nose. Ask her to eat the potato and tell you what she thinks it is. She will say it is a piece of apple! You can even do it the other way around, and she will think she is eating a potato, or, perhaps, she won't be able to name what she is eating.Experiment 3:(for the brave)Take a piece of raw onion. You don't have to close your eyes this time. Press your nose closed with yourother hand so that no smells can get into your nose. Now eat a small piece of the onion. Surprise! As long as you hold your nose, you will not be able to taste the onion.The Science SecretYou already know the science secret. Your nose and your tongue work together to make food taste the way it does. Your tongue, however, can taste only certain flavors like salty, bitter,sour, and sweet. All of the other"tastes"are actually "smells", and you need your nose to taste them.Oh, you might use this science secret the next time you are forced to eat something you don't like the taste of. If you hold your nose while you eat it, you won't"taste"it at all. 41．According to this article, what could a person know about food?A．People hold their noses to eat onions.B．If you close your eyes, food will taste better.C．People need a sense of smell to taste some food.D．If you can smell potatoes, you will taste apples.42．What is the most probable reason Experiment 3 is called"for the brave"?A．You have to eat a raw onion.B．You keep your eyes open.C．You have to hold your nose.D．You do the experiment alone.43．What can we learn from the passage?A．Knowledge comes from personal experience.B．Team work helps us to find out science secrets.C．We should have courage while doing experiments.D．We can't draw a conclusion simply from the feeling.44．What's the passage mainly about?A．Why different foods can smell the same.B．How smell influences the way food tastes.C．Why some things smell better than others.D．How smell changes the way we see things.四、根据首字母填空根据汉语提示写出相应的单词。
