This becomes a problem, because most families love home cooking! The food tastes good and warm, and a family meal brings everyone together. In some families, meals are often the only times everyone sees one another at the same time.Another reason people enjoy home cooking is that it is often a way of showing love. A parent who makes some cookies is not just satisfying (满足) a child’s sweet tooth. She or he is sending a message. The message says, “I care about you enough to spend an hour making cookies that you will eat up in 15 minutes if I let you.”There is also something about the smell of home cooking. The smell of home cooking pleases people of all ages. It makes most of us feel good and loved—even if we are the ones doing the cooking! Next time you smell a cake making, stop for a moment and pay attention to your mood (心情).1．Why do fewer people cook now?A．Many people are too busy.

In those days, there were no flight attendants (服务生) to look after the passengers. Y oung men, or “stewards” helped the passengers onto the airplane and carried the passengers’ bags 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 and at the same time took flying lessons and got her pilot’s license.Ellen was 25 years old when she first got in touch with BAT (Boeing Air Transport). She loved flying but she understood that airlines were a man’s world. Th ough 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 afraid of flying because flying was still not a very safe way to travel. There were often delays (延误), many crashes and the bad weather made many passengers sick. Ellen thought nurses could take care of passengers during flights and BAT 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 different 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 a hard job and not well paid. They worked long hours and was paid $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.1．From the first paragraph, we know that ______________.A．the word “stewardesses” was started from Ellen ChurchB．Ellen Church was the first woman who flew a planeC．food and drinks were offered on the plane thenD．traveling by air was very popular because of the flight attendants2．Boeing Air Transport offered Ellen the job because of _______________.A．her flying experience B．her university educationC．her nursing experience D．her life attitudes (态度)3．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 airplanesD16、Steven Jobs was born in 1955. He was an American businessman and inventor. He was the co-founderand chief executive officer (CEO) of Apple Inc. In the late 1970s, Steve, with Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, Mike Markkula, and others, designed, developed, and marketed one of the first successful lines of personal computers, the Apple II series and later, the Macintosh.Steve was among the greatest of American inventors – brave enough to think differently, and believed he could change the world and in fact, he had the power to change the whole world. By making computers personal and putting the Internet in our pockets, he has brought joy to millions of children and grownups. Steve was fond of saying that he lived every day like it was his last. He changed the way each of us sees the world. Steve’s brilliance, passion and energy were the source of countless innovations (创新) that enrich and improve all of our lives.

By 2050, they could have 13 billion tons.Much of plastic rubbish finds its way into the ocean. Scientists say 165 million tons of plastic pieces are floating around out there. And most plastic won't disappear itself. It will remain in the ocean forever. Whales get caught in plastic fishing nets. Birds die because of eating plastic straws and bottle caps. It endangers ocean life. Plastic rubbish even ends up in the food we eat.Governments are realizing that recycling may not be enough. They are taking more actions. Though it is hard work, it is still a solvable problem. In Britain, people are not allowed to use plastic bags except in hospitals. Scotland and several coastal cities in the US stop people from using plastic straws as well. The US alone throws away some 500 million plastic straws a day. That's enough to circle the Earth twice. "Saying no to a plastic straw is an easy way to make a big difference," Diana Lofflin who started said. "'Do we really want to pass on to our children a world harmed by plastic?"People have found some tasty ways to reduce waste. A company in India made the first-ever spoon that people can eat. You don't have to eat the spoon. You can throw it away. It decomposes (分解) in just a few days. David Edwards, a scientist at Harvard University, designed an eatable bag which can protect the food or drink inside. It is a delicious replacement for plastic ones.( )8.According to the writer, birds die because they ________.A.eat bottle caps and strawsB.get caught in fishing netsC.feed on ocean animalsD.have the spoons in India( )9.The underlined word "endangers" in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.A.bringsB.losesC.harmsD.saves( )10.The purpose of the passage is mainly to ________.A.introduce some ways to recycle wasteB.tell readers about the problem withplasticspare air pollution and plastic pollutionD.describe how the US is reducingplastic waste( )11.From the passage, we can tell that the plastics problem ________.A.is too big for people to solveB.can be solved by recycling aloneC.can be solved, but it won't be easyD.will have to be solved by future scientistsDMark Zuckerberg, who starts the social network Facebook, often wears jeans and a T-shirt to work, including to important business meetings. Not everyone agrees with him. Some people say he doesn't look serious this way.Harvard Business School researcher, Franccsca Gino, has a different idea. While most people seem to think that dressing differently from those around you generally has a bad influence, she believes it can actually have a positive effect. And she’s done experiments to support her idea. When her researchers, wearing sportswear, visited the expensive shops in Italy, they were usually viewed as wealthier and more important people than those who were well-dressed in designer clothes.Do people always view less formal(正式的) clothing more positively? Researchers in France took their research out into the street, to the general public. The video they made shows an actor dressed in a well-cut (裁剪好的) suit and shiny shoes. While walking along the road, he begins to cough badly, stops to catch his breath and falls down. Before he even calls for help, people rush to help him. In another video, the actor appears at the same crowded place and repeats the actions in exactly the same way. But this time, no one comes to help. What’s the difference? He’s wearing untidy clothes and looks like a homeless person. In a situation like this, the clothes you’re wearing could mean the difference between life and death.It seems that our clothing doesn’t only change the way others view us, but also the way we see ourselves. In an experiment testing students’ ability to pay attention to details(细节), the group wearing white lab coats did the best. Why? Researchers told them that they werewearing the doctors coats. The experiment didn’t show whether such influences would last long. More experiments are needed in the future before we decide to make the doctors’ coats a must of fashion.( )12. Mark Zuckerberg is not considered serious by some people because________.A. he does not listen to others’ adviceB. he sets up a network of video gamesC. he wears jeans and a T-shirt to workD. he often plays jokes at business meetings( )13. Which of the following is Gino’s opinion according to Paragraph 2?A. It is necessary to buy expensive clothes.B. Wearing less formal clothes is in fact good.C. It is bad to dress differently from people around you.D. Wearing sports clothes makes you look less important.( )14. In Paragraph 3, the writer proves(证明) his (her) opinion mainly________.A. by giving reasonsB. by using picturesC. by comparing factsD. by listing numbers( )15. What can we learn from the passage?A. What we wear makes a difference.B. Formal clothing makes a wise man.C. Our value depends on what we wear.D. Our clothing influences our characters.第二节补全短文（本题共5小题，每小题2分，计10分）阅读下面短文,根据短文内容,从下面方框中的A-F选项中,选择适当的选项补全短文。

For example, people might look at what others have, like expensive clothes or nice cars, andwish they could have the same. But the things that money can buy can’t bring happiness to a person for long.◇ But is that really true? Studies have found that money can, in fact, make people happier. ◇ Instead, it's giving money to others that makes people happy, ◇ It could be buying a present for a friend or a family member. ◇ .It could he buying a homeless person food to eat. It could he giving money to a person in need. Just think about the last time you used your own money to do something for someone else. How did you feel? Whether it is a small or large amount of money. People feel happier when they give. This is because making someone else happy makes the giver happy, too.This idea of connecting your happiness to the happiness of others is described as a ubuntu in an African language. There is even a story about a man visiting Africa who asked some kids to race to a nearby tree. The first child to touch the tree would get a sweet treat. Surprising, all the children held hands and ran together. They all touched the tree at the same time. The man asked why they had done this. The children simply said they could only enjoy eating the treat if everyone had one.( )4. The writer says that buying things ________.A. can make people worriedB. can make people nervousC. may lead to sadness for longD. may lead to happiness for a short time ( )5.Where can we best put "But it’s not having money that brings happiness." in Paragraph 2?A.◇B. ◇C.◇D.◇( )6.Why does the writer quote(引用) a story in Paragraph 3?A. To explain Africans like sweets.B. To show examples are not enough-C. To make the writer's opinion clearer.D. To express happiness is from children. ( )7.What does the writer try to tell us?A. Buying new things can make people happy.B. The key to happiness is making others happy.C If you want to be happy, you can visit Africa. D.People who have a lot of money might not be happy.CWe all need cash in order to live our live. However. something called digital currency is slowly taking the place of cash. A currency is kind of money. Usually, we use currency when we talk about a country’s money. If something is digital, it only exists(存在)on a computer. So"digital currency” means money that only exists on computers.Lots of people have digital currency accounts(账户). They use a credit card to change their real money into digital money, and then the money goes into the digital currency account. A lot of people wonder, “Why in the world should I change my real money into digital currency?" This is a fair question, but there’s a good answer. If you want to buy something online, then you usually have to use digital currency. For example. If you’re in Chins and you want to buy something in Canada, then you’ll have to pay with the digital currency.Many people still don't trust digital currency. Some people think that if they can't hold their money in their band, then it doesn’t seem real. These people don't feel comfortable when they see numbers on a computer screen. The computer tells them that their money is safe but these people don't really feel safe. Another problem is security(安全). There are hackers all over the world. A hacker is a person who steals computer information. If a hacker(黑客) gets the password of your digital currency account, he or she can steal your money.You have to decide whether or not you trust this new invention. Just remember one thing: If you want to buy something online, then you probably won't have a choice. You'll have to use digital currency.( )8. What does Para. 1 mainly tell us?A.What digital currency is.B.How to use digital currency.C.Why we all need cash to live.D.Where to find digital currency.( )9. What is the "good answer" to the question in Para. 2?A.You cannot shop online without digital currency.B.You cannot buy anything in China with real money.C.You cannot buy anything in Canada without digital currency.D.You can use both real money and digital currency to shop online.( )10. What is the first problem mentioned in Para.3?A.Digital currency is not safe enough.B.Many people still don't trust digital currency.C.Some people can't hold their money in their hand.D.Some people don't feel comfortable with numbers.( )11.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.Two kinds of moneyB.The end of real moneyC.Currency around the worldD.Money that you can't touchDMy father was a cemetery(公墓)keeper. When I was a child, he often took me there. Before we left each time, he would lay some stones on some graves(坟墓).I never asked why. I just thought that was his work.Yesterday, I visited my sick father. He asked me to go to the cemetery and lay some stones. For some reason, it had to be done that day. I agreed. I hadn't been there for a long time. When I got there, I found a woman in front of one of the graves I would lay a stone on. As I bent to lay it, I heard her whisper “Thank you”. It was then that I noticed the date of death on the grave was that same day. The grave was that of a child, only five when he died fifteen years ago."He’s my son, “she said.” But, where’s your father? He was always the one to leave the stone.”I told her that my father was ill but he asked me to do this. It seemed important to him. “Your father’s kindness means more to me than anything else. When my child died, I came often to see him. It is our custom to leave a stone. It tells the one who is here that he is thought of. But, then we moved away from here, so many painful memories. I was so afraid that he would be alone. But your father marked the grave every time he came. Each time I returned here, I saw that stone and it always comforted me. Your father is the kind of man who would ease the pain of a mother’s heart though we are strangers. Just tell him you saw me today, won’t you?” She said.It took me a minute to find my voice. That small stone marked the grave of a child and the heart of his mother.( )12. The underlined phrase“ some reason” in Paragraph2 refers to(指代)_______.A. the writer had been away from the cemetery for a long timeB. the woman’s child died on that day fifteen years agoC. the writer's father was always the one to leave the stoneD. the writer’s father would meet the woman that day( )13. What does the underlined word "ease" in Paragraph 5 mean?A. IncreaseB. CauseC. ReduceD. Express.( )14. According to the passage, we can infer(推断)___________.A. the writer understood his father in the endB. laying stones was part of a cemetery keepers workC. the woman knew the writers father well fifteen years agoD. the stone marked the grave of a child and the heart of his mother( )15. What's the best title of the passage?A. A Strange CustomB. One Small Stone, UnforgottenC. A Cemetery KeeperD.
