A
In a film about Mars, the leading actor is a scientist left behind on Mars. He has little food and water, so he has to find a way to survive until someone can save him. Luckily, he knows how to grow things, and one of the things he grows is a potato plant.
Later, scientists in Peru and NASA scientists in California started working together on growing potatoes in Mars-like conditions. They built a container called Mars-in-a-box where they could create conditions similar to those on Mars. The salty soil came from the southern coast of Peru, where there is very little rain.
Inside the Mars-in-a-box, the scientists made the air pressure similar to what it is like at 6,000 metres, decreased the temperature below zero, and added carbon monoxide(一氧化碳) to the air. They made a lighting system that followed Mars’ daytime and nighttime.
Scientists planted 65 types of potato plants, and waited. After some time, four of them grew. Later, the scientists took the strongest of the four plants and tried again. This time, they used crushed rocks instead of soil. The plant managed to survive.
The research is being done in Peru. You may not know that Peru is known as the birthplace of potato farming. People grew potatoes there about 7,000 years ago. Even in cold, barren parts of Peru, potatoes still grow. In addition, the International Potato Centre is located in the capital city, Lima.
The surviving potato in the Mars-in-a-box is known as the Unique. It can still grow in freezing weather conditions that would contain high amounts of carbon dioxide. The research is not only for a trip to Mars one day. It is going to help feed people in parts of the world that are already having trouble planting traditional crops because of climate change. The scientists in Peru and California will try to grow more plants in even more difficult conditions.
1. Why is the film mentioned in the first paragraph
A. To tell readers a popular film.
B. To introduce the topic of the text.
C. To give some key facts about Mars.
D. To show the importance of food on Mars.
解析:推理判断题。根据第二段的第一句可以推知,文章第一段提到那部关于火星的电影是为了引起读者的兴趣,从而引出下文的主题。
答案:B
2. What can we learn about the Mars-in-a-box
A. The air is thick inside the container.
B. The soil used should be wet enough.
C. It has the same day-night cycle as on Mars.
D. There is no carbon monoxide inside the container.
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中的“They made a lighting system that followed Mars’ daytime and nighttime.”可知,科学家制作了一个遵循火星昼夜循环规律的照明系统。
答案:C
3. Why did the scientists do the research in Peru
A. Peru is home to the potato planting.
B. There is a potato research centre in Peru.
C. Peru is a country with many hungry people.
D. The potato is the main food for people in Peru.
解析:细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“... Peru is known as the birthplace of potato farming. People grew potatoes there about 7,000 years ago.”可知,科学家选择在秘鲁进行研究主要是因为秘鲁是马铃薯种植的起源地,它拥有很长的马铃薯种植历史。
答案:A
4. What can be inferred about the Unique
A. It cannot live in hot weather.
B. It is named after a NASA scientist.
C. It has been widely planted in Peru and California.
D. It is meaningful to Mars travel and food production.
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The research is not only for a trip to Mars one day. It is going to help feed people ... because of climate change.”可知,科学家对the Unique的研究不仅仅是为了火星旅行,还可以为那些因气候改变而无法种植传统作物的人们提供帮助。
答案:D
B
Although onions taste delicious, watering eyes come with the process when you cut them up. Thankfully, a magazine has suggested some tips to prevent yourself crying while trying to cut up an onion.
According to the findings from the Institute, putting onions in the fridge 30 minutes before cutting can prevent the annoying hurt, as the cold stops tear-jerking(催泪的) gas from being produced.
Another way to reduce the gas released(释放) by the onion is to put it in water for a while. The magazine recommends: “Cut the end off the onion and then put it straight into a bowl of water. The water will draw out the acid(酸性物质) making your tears fewer when you cut it.”
When an onion grows, it mixes with sulfur(硫) in the soil to create a special mineral acid. When the onion is cut into pieces, it reacts and creates a gas. As it reaches your face, this annoying gas causes the eyes to produce tears.
The root is where the gases are most concentrated, so it is recommended that this part of the onion be left on as you cut it to avoid uncomfortable eyes. Do this by cutting the vegetable in half down the middle, and then cut off part of one side to create a flat surface. Then, place the onion with its flat surface down and cut it towards the root.
5. Why should we put onions in the fridge before cutting
A. To change its taste.
B. To make it easier to be cut up.
C. To avoid producing the uncomfortable gas.
D. To help the gases mix more quickly.
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段“... putting onions in the fridge 30 minutes before cutting can prevent the annoying hurt, as the cold stops tear-jerking gas from being produced.”可知,切洋葱前冷藏30分钟可以避免产生令人不适的气体。
答案:C
6. What happens when an onion is cut up
A. Some acid mineral is lost.
B. The tear mixture is created.
C. The sulfur inside it pours out.
D. A chemical reaction produces a gas.
解析:细节理解题。根据第四段“When the onion is cut into pieces, it reacts and creates a gas.”可知,洋葱被切碎时会发生化学反应并产生一种气体。
答案:D
7. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 5 refer to
A. Producing more tears.
B. Leaving the root uncut first.
C. Improving concentration.
D. Making the onion more tasty.
解析:代词指代题。根据上文“The root is where the gases are most concentrated, so it is recommended that this part of the onion be left on ...”可知,代词this指的是“先不要切洋葱的根部”。
答案:B
8. Where is this passage most probably taken from
A. The health column. B. A science magazine.
C. A fashion journal. D. A food guidebook.
解析:文章出处题。文章从科学的角度说明了人们切洋葱时为什么会流泪,并提出了避免切洋葱时流泪的建议,很可能出自科学杂志。
答案:B
C
People are starting to realise the importance of healthy eating. 9._______ Local farms that sell organic fruit and vegetables at the farmers’ markets aren’t going to add any chemicals, like preservatives (防腐剂), to their food. 10. But shopping at your local farmers’ market is a great way to make sure the food is fresh and healthy. Here are some tips that can help when you make a trip to the farmers’ markets.
First of all, you should go at the right time. 11. In this way, you can buy all kinds of fresh food at a better price. You can also visit the market late in the evening and get some good bargains, since farmers are trying to avoid taking home whatever is left.
It’s also important to talk to the farmers and get along well with them. You can ask questions related to the food quality and the organic farming methods they use. 12. And whenever you want to buy a large amount, you might get a better price for your purchase.
Since local food doesn’t contain any preservatives, you may find it doesn’t last long. Believe it or not, that’s actually a good thing! 13.______ For example, you can put it in a refrigerator. Also if you clean and cut your food in a right way, making it ready-to-eat, you’ll be more likely to eat it rather than sitting and watching it go bad.
A. That’s why local food comes in.
B. Make sure that you get what looks the best and freshest.
C. You can prevent food going bad quickly by storing it properly.
D. Of course, local and organic food can be found in supermarkets.
E. If you’re an early riser, then go to the market early in the morning.
F. Make a quick look around the entire market before you buy anything.
G. By making friends with farmers, you can get the best deals on the food.

Section Ⅳ Reading for Writing
写一篇议论文
据报道,某历史文化名城为了修建公路,将该市建于唐代的古城墙拆毁了。某班同学就此现象进行了辩论。请仔细阅读下面的这篇议论文,试着总结一下此类文章的结构并欣赏其语言特点。
It is reported that to build a road, a well-known historical and cultural city has recently torn down one of its ancient city walls, which dates from/back to the Tang Dynasty. Our class have had a debate on whether cultural relics like ancient city walls should be torn down or not.
About 10% of the students, who said building a road was necessary for the development of society, supported this action. In their opinion, cultural relics should give way to the development of society if necessary. However, about 90% have the opposite opinion. They believe the ancient city walls are very valuable and that they are the symbols of the city. There is no doubt that cultural relics play an important part in communication between China and the rest of the world.
Personally, I think cultural relics are so valuable that we should protect them.

答案:
Recently, citizens in our city have had/held a heated debate on whether we should exploit a cultural relic, which was discovered in our city. Different people have different opinions.
Some people are in favour of the idea. They think the cultural relic is worth exploiting, which will make people learn more about the great history of our country. What’s more, this cultural relic can attract more visitors to our city, which will improve our tourism.
However, others hold an opposite opinion, thinking that we should keep it as it is and protect it properly. Only in this way can it not be destroyed by people.
As far as I am concerned, we should ask the experts for advice to find a better way to make good use of this cultural relic.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
答案:
Recently our English Club has had a debate about whether there should be policies on controlling the purchase of private cars in our city. We had different opinions.
Some people support it. They say nowadays a large number of people own private cars, which has caused many problems, such as air pollution, traffic jams and an increase of energy use.
However, others think differently. They argue that they have the right to buy cars. What’s more, if they don’t have their own cars, it isn’t convenient for them to go out.
As for me, I agree with the former. In fact, we can use other forms of transport like buses, subways and bicycles.(共14张PPT)

在阅读的过程中,在利用上下文线索猜测词义的同时,也可以结合构词法知识来理解单词。词根决定了单词最基本的意义。前缀是单词前面的部分,它影响单词的意思。后缀是词的结尾部分,它决定一个词的词性。如果掌握了一些常用的词根、前缀、后缀等语法知识,如前缀un-表示反义词,如happy、unhappy等;后缀-tion、-ment等表示名词,如consume、consumption等,词义便不难猜测了。

Every time you go shopping, the vegetables and fruit look so tempting that you wish you could buy all of them. Some people are lucky and can grow the fruit and vegetables in the gardens that they have. While getting fresh vegetables, they can also achieve great cost-cutting.
Mushrooms are expensive and can also go bad very quickly. Mushrooms can also be grown easily in a dark environment. In fact it’s better than growing other vegetables since you really don’t need an outdoor space. A special type of soil that is good for growing mushrooms is easily available.
Actually mushrooms aren’t even vegetables; they are fungi(菌类) and for this reason, you don’t even require sunlight to grow them. Well, how does one go about growing mushrooms You could always type “growing mushrooms” on the Internet and you will find a number of mushroom growing kits(工具) available online that are effective and not very expensive either.
Mushrooms can be added to any dish that you cook. Simply use them in pizzas, salads and anything that you pretty much fancy. Grow mushrooms in your own house and use them whenever you want. Fresh mushrooms are tastier than the ones that are stored in your refrigerator.
If you have had a really good crop of mushrooms, then you can even store them. Ideally you should use the white variety of the mushrooms. Simply pick them, slice them and put them on a baking tray in a freezer. When they are frozen, you can use them when you want to. Remember to thaw(解冻) them before you use them, and they will give a really great taste to the dish that you are making.

答案:B
B
It used to be mostly the military(军队) that used small, unpiloted aircraft, called “drones”. The little planes were very costly. But as they have dropped in price, more people have begun to use them. Rescue workers and farmers are among the new users. Rescue workers use them to look for people. And now farmers are using them to watch over their crops. Movie makers are using drones to film from the sky. Historians use them when they explore ancient buildings.
Romain Faroux is a French businessman who starts companies. His father was a farmer. He believed drones could help farmers. He helped create a company that developed a small drone that could be controlled by people on the ground. They called it “Agridrone”. It uses a special “optical sensor” to examine crops. He says the technology used is similar to that used by smartphones—except it has wings.
A computer programme directs the drone to fly over the crops. The sensor on the drone records four different-coloured “bands” of sunlight that are reflected off the crops.
Jean-Baptiste Bruggeman is a farmer. He says the drone flies over his crops at different times of the season. And this provides a lot of information about his crops. The drone pictures show him the exact amount of fertiliser the crops need. It also shows exactly where the fertiliser is needed. Some areas of a field may need more than others.
As a result, Mr Bruggeman says there is reduced nitrogen from the fertiliser after the harvest. This helps nature. Romain Faroux says farmers use information gathered by the Agridrone to place fertiliser only in areas where it is needed. Before they used the drones, farmers would put the same amount of fertiliser everywhere.
Drones also save time because farmers can examine up to three hectares in about a minute.
4. The first paragraph is mainly about .
A. the expensive cost of drones
B. the fast development of drones
C. the wide use of drones
D. the urgent need of drones
解析:段落大意题。通读第一段内容可知,过去军事上使用一种小型的、无人驾驶的飞机,这种无人机很昂贵。但是随着无人机价格的下降,更多的人开始使用,搜救人员和农民是无人机的新用户群体,由此说明了无人机的广泛应用。
答案:C
5. What do we know about the Agridrone
A. It records different-coloured bands of sunlight.
B. It flies over the crops with a computer.
C. It absorbs the sunlight reflected off the crops.
D. It is like a smartphone with wings.
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段的最后一句“He says the technology used is similar to that used by smartphones—except it has wings.”可知,它像一个有翅膀的智能手机。
答案:D
6. What Mr Bruggeman says implies that by using drones .
A. he can save money and reduced pollution
B. he can gather his crops easily
C. he can fly over his crops at different times
D. he can know exactly the ingredients of his fertiliser
解析:推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“... Mr Bruggeman says there is reduced nitrogen ... place fertiliser only in areas where it is needed.”可知,他使用了这种无人机之后,减少了化肥的使用量,这样既省了钱,同时也保护了环境。
答案:A
7. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Drones will be widely used in different fields.
B. French farmers use drones to examine their crops.
C. Crops will be harvested by drones soon.
D. Farmers develop special drones for their crops.
解析:主旨大意题。本文主要讲述了法国的农民们开始利用无人机来监控他们的农作物,这样可以限制肥料使用的数量,同时也起到保护环境的作用。
答案:B
C
The Milk Squad is a group of nine young men in the eastern American city of Baltimore, Maryland. For them, skateboarding(滑板运动) is more than a sport. It is a way of life. The Milk Squad brings together young people of different races and beliefs. Almost every day, you can see all nine with their skateboards and bright orange T-shirts in Carroll Park.
Jamone McKenzie is one of the group members. His friends gave him a nickname(外号)—Psycho. The name comes from the term meaning someone with mental(精神的) problems. “The reason is that I usually do crazy things that most people wouldn’t try,” McKenzie said.
McKenzie started skating when he was nine years old. At the time, his mother was afraid that he would get injured. His great progress, however, seems to have impressed her. “Now I see she is no longer angry when people mention me. Instead, she takes pride in me,” he said.
Skateboarding began in California in the middle of the 20th century. Over the years, the sport’s popularity has spread around the world. However, skateboarders often wonder where to play skateboard. Stephanie Murdock is the founder of a non-profit organisation that supports the skaters. She helped to raise almost one million dollars for a new skate park.
Group leader Jamal said skateboarders should be as valuable as baseball players or as basketball players and more skate parks should be built to interest other young people, including girls, in the sport. Despite all the difficulties, the new skate park is expected to open soon.
As for the Milk Squad’s members, they have received a sponsorship(资助) offer. The Bodymore skateboard company is providing them with hats, T-shirts, and skateboards for free.
8. What do we know about the Milk Squad
A. Its members are of the same age.
B. It encourages people to take exercise.
C. It is the most famous skating group in Maryland.
D. Skateboarding is part of daily life for its members.
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段的“It is a way of life ... Almost every day, you can see all nine with their skateboards and bright orange T-shirts in Carroll Park.”可知,人们几乎每天都能见到九名滑板队成员带着滑板,身穿橙色T恤来到卡罗尔公园。
答案:D
9. Why do people call Jamone McKenzie Psycho
A. He joined the Milk Squad.
B. He suffered mental problems.
C. He often acts in an unusual way.
D. He is the best player among his friends.
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段的“‘The reason is that I usually do crazy things that most people wouldn’t try’,Mckenzie said.”可知,麦肯齐经常干大多数人不敢尝试的一些疯狂的事情。因此,他的朋友们给他起了这个外号。
答案:C
10. What’s the main problem that the skateboarders face
A. Skateboarding is not well received in the world.
B. There are not enough places for them to practise.
C. Skateboarding often causes serious injury to them.
D. Their parents are often against this dangerous sport.
解析:推理判断题。根据第四段的“However, skateboarders often wonder where to play skateboard.”可知,尽管滑板运动风靡全球,但是对于滑板手来说,他们仍然很难找到合适的场所来练习滑板。
答案:B
11. What do Jamal’s words tell us
A. Skateboarding needs support.
B. Skateboarding is not suitable for girls.
C. Skateboarders do better than baseball players.
D. The hard work of the Milk Squad has paid off.
解析:推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“... skateboarders should be as valuable as baseball players or as basketball players and more skate parks should be built ...”可知,滑板运动还需要大家的支持。

Where to See Amazing Colours Around the World
Lake District
As you wander along Windermere to the centre of Ambleside, autumn colours are rich. Looking across the water, it seems that the tree line is alight(闪亮的) with red and orange leaves. As you round the bend on to the road into town, you are faced with a hillside that celebrates autumn at its best.
Canada Dorset Lookout Tower, near Toronto
Before you reach Dwight, climb the Dorset Lookout Tower, 142 metres above the Lake of Bays. From up here, the canopy(树冠) is an autumnal quilt reaching to the horizon, refreshing the eyes and invigorating the spirit.
Great Smoky Mountains, Tennessee/North Carolina
Autumn in this national park is amazing. Just outside quaint Townsend, Tennessee, it is a bikeable and drivable 11-mile loop(环形车道 ), but be sure to explore the cabins and fields on foot. Late October and early November is my favourite time to visit it; the colours are great and the weather is cool enough to allow nice walks and hikes.
Kamikochi National Park, Honshu
In central Honshu, three hours’ drive northeast of Nagoya, is one of the most charming places in the Japanese Alps. The mountain slopes are covered with forests of larch(落叶松) and beech that blaze scarlet and orange in autumn. Wisps of smoke hang in the still air above Yakedake Volcano, and the glass surface of Taisho Pond perfectly reflects the trees and snow-dusted mountains.
21. What season scenery does the text describe

C. Autumn. D. Winter.
解析:细节理解题。根据第一部分中“... autumn colours are rich.”,第二部分中“an autumnal quilt reaching to the horizon”,第三部分中“Autumn in this national park is amazing.”以及最后一部分中“... and beech that blaze scarlet and orange in autumn.”可知,本文是写秋天的颜色。

Norma Burns has been running her organic farm for the last 18 years, but she’s now looking to turn over a new leaf, so she’s giving the farm away to whoever wins her essay contest(作文竞赛).
The Bluebird Hill Farm has been everything to Norma during the last 18 years, but running it takes a lot of work, and after Norma’s husband died in 2005, she’s been having a tough time taking care of everything alone. She has decided to go back to the city, but she hopes to leave her beloved farm in good hands.
Although it’s been valued at around $450,000, she doesn’t want to sell her farm. She wants to give it away to a couple who can best explain why they would be her best choice in a 200-word essay. “To me, there’s no better thing in life than raising organic food,” Norma said. “I’m looking for a couple who have experience and training in organic farming and are willing and able to put in the long days and hard work that farming requires. The only thing they don’t have is an actual farm.”
The “A Gift of Good Land” essay contest gives farmers the chance to live the life they’ve always dreamed of. Apart from the $300 entry fee, there are a few important conditions. First of all, applicants must have the experience and training required to operate an organic farm. Secondly, the contest mentions “couples” for the reason that the farm can’t be operated successfully by a single person. Ever since Norma made public the news of her essay contest, her phone hasn’t stopped ringing. “It just kind of exploded,” she said.
If you’ve always wanted to be an organic farmer but couldn’t afford a farm, this is your chance. Head over to the Bluebird Hill Farm website, and sign up for the contest. Norma would pick the winning couple at last.
24. What does the underlined part “turn over a new leaf” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Live a new life.
B. Depend on others.
C. Help those in need.
D. Make things better.
解析:词义猜测题。由第一段中“Norma Burns has been running her organic farm for the last 18 years ...”及第二段中“She has decided to go back to the city ...”可知,诺玛·柏恩斯想把自己苦心经营的农场赠送给别人,自己到城市里过新的生活,故可推断画线部分意为“过上新的生活”。
答案:A
25. Why does Norma want to give her farm away
A. She is in need of more organic food.
B. The life on the farm is boring and lonely.
C. She wants to help new farmers get started.
D. It requires more work than she can handle.
解析:细节理解题。由第二段中“... but running it takes a lot of work, and after Norma’s husband died in 2005,she’s been having a tough time taking care of everything alone.”可知,自从丈夫去世后,诺玛一个人无法管理这么大的一个农场,这是她决定把农场赠送给别人的原因。
答案:D
26. What can we learn about the essay contest
A. It charges applicants no fee.
B. Many people show interest in it.
C. The winner will be announced on the website.
D. Experienced farmers are not allowed to take part in it.
解析:推理判断题。由倒数第二段中“Ever since Norma made public the news of her essay contest, her phone hasn’t stopped ringing.”可知,自从诺玛赠送农场的消息公布后,她的电话一直响个不停。由此可推知,很多人对作文竞赛感兴趣。
答案:B
27. What would be the best title for the text
A. An Essay to Write for a Contest
B. A Gift to Present for Farming
C. A Farm to Win by Writing an Essay
D. A Farm to Give Away for Nothing
解析:标题归纳题。本文主要讲述了诺玛·柏恩斯决定通过作文竞赛的方式把自己苦心经营的农场赠送给别人。申请者用200词阐述自己接管农场的理由,写得最好的人就是最佳人选。故C项作为标题最佳。
答案:C
C
The fact that trees are vital to our life is not a secret. Trees provide us with food, wood and most importantly, oxygen. Now there is one more thing we can add to this list—blocking out harmful bacteria from water.
The discovery was made by a team consisting of scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and high school students who were seeking a natural water filter(过滤器)—one that would help communities in developing countries that do not have access to modern water filter systems.
The researchers, led by Professor Rohit Karnik, decided to turn to trees for help because they could allow liquid to flow through, while blocking out air bubbles.
They began by cutting 1.5-inch-wide sections of tree bark from the branches of a white pine tree. The researchers then tested the wood’s filtering ability by pouring water containing red dye particles of different sizes through. To their surprise, they found that it was effective in trapping all the particles. Encouraged, the team conducted another experiment, this time with water that contained bacteria. Sure enough, the sapwood held back 99% of the bacteria, allowing only 1% to flow through.
Mr Karnik said that the bark was able to filter water containing much smaller particles. This means that it can be used to get rid of a majority of bacteria, since most are at least 10 times as wide. However, what troubles them is that tree bark isn’t blocking out viruses, which tend to be much smaller.
Also, while the pine sapwood is effective, we must remember one thing—it only works when it is damp. This means that before this natural filter can be put into practical use, the researchers will have to figure out how to keep the wood damp, or find a way to keep the bark’s great filtering ability even when it’s dry!
But the team is not done yet. They plan on testing other types of sapwood, including those from flowering trees which have smaller pores(气孔). They think that these may be more effective in trapping smaller particles and even viruses.
28. What problem troubles the researchers when they use tree bark as water filters
A. Viruses cannot be blocked out.
B. Not all bacteria will be held back.
C. Viruses don’t make air bubbles.
D. Tree bark needs to be kept in water.
解析:细节理解题。由第五段末的“However, what troubles them is that tree bark isn’t blocking out viruses, which tend to be much smaller.”可知,让研究人员感到困扰的是树皮无法挡住病毒,因为病毒要比细菌小得多。故选A。
答案:A
29. We can learn from the passage that tree bark can filter water when it .
A. is damp
B. is dry
C. has been cut down
D. is processed by researchers
解析:细节理解题。由倒数第二段中的“... it only works when it is damp.”和“the researchers will have to figure out how to keep the wood damp”可知,树皮只有在潮湿的时候才有过滤作用。故选A。
答案:A
30. The team is planning to conduct other experiments to .
A. find all wood bark with such ability
B. find which trees have the smallest pores
C. improve trees’ filtering ability
D. test other wood bark’s filtering ability
解析:推理判断题。由最后一段的内容可知,研究者们打算用其他种类的边材进行测试,目的是测试其他种类树皮的过滤能力。故选D。
答案:D
31. In which column of a newspaper can we read this passage
A. Nature. B. Science.
C. Lifestyle. D. Society.
解析:文章出处题。本文是一个科研方面的发现,因此最有可能出现在报纸的科学专栏中。故选B。
答案:B
D
The process of making milk chocolate removes most of the antioxidants(抗氧化剂) in dark chocolate. Antioxidants don’t taste good but are very healthy. Lisa Dean, a food scientist, and her team now report having found a way to top up the antioxidants in milk chocolate. They made it by adding a surprising thing. Even better news: The process doesn’t change the sweet taste of milk chocolate.
Most peanuts in the United States go to make peanut butter. Their skins, about 100 million pounds, end up being buried as wastes underground every year in the US Dean recalls, “We thought, what can we do with this food waste ” She and her team decided to extract(提取) antioxidants from the peanut skins. Then, to cover the bitter taste of the antioxidant, they mixed the peanut-skin extracts with maltodextrin(麦芽糖糊精), which is made from food like potatoes and rice.
Next, the team added the mixture to milk chocolate. This gave the chocolate antioxidant the levels typical of dark chocolate. Best of all, there was no change in the candy’s taste. Just to be sure, the team asked 100 volunteers to taste three pieces of milk chocolate. Only one piece in the three had the peanut-skin extract and maltodextrin. Eight in every ten volunteers tasted no difference between the regular milk chocolate and the improved one. The other 20 percent picked up on some bitterness. These volunteers are what scientists call supertasters, who have an unusually strong sense of taste. Dean says only about 20 percent of all people are supertasters.
Some candy makers are experimenting to add antioxidants to their milk chocolate. But Dean says she hasn’t heard of any who have used peanut skins. She also warns that milk chocolate having peanut skins would need clear labels so that people with peanut allergies can avoid it.
32. Why did the scientists decide to add antioxidants to milk chocolate at first
A. To reduce food waste.
B. To make use of peanut butter.
C. To change the taste of milk chocolate.
D. To make milk chocolate healthier than dark chocolate.
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Their skins, about 100 million pounds, end up being buried as wastes underground every year in the US Dean recalls, ‘We thought, what can we do with this food waste ’”可知,食品科学家最开始是为了减少食物浪费而尝试把花生皮中的抗氧化剂加入到牛奶巧克力中的。
答案:A
33. What can be known about maltodextrin
A. It is easy to extract.
B. It is often added to potatoes.
C. It can improve the taste of food.
D. It can be widely found in chocolate.
解析:推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Then, to cover the bitter taste of the antioxidant ...”可知,科学家为了掩盖抗氧化剂的苦味而在牛奶巧克力中加入麦芽糖糊精。由此可以推知,麦芽糖糊精可以改善食物的味道。
答案:C
34. What can we learn from the experiment
A. Few people will know the milk chocolate’s taste has changed.
B. Scientists should work harder to improve milk chocolate’s taste.
C. Supertasters will get sick by eating the improved milk chocolate.
D. Many people don’t believe the improved milk chocolate is healthier.
解析:推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句“Dean says only about 20 percent of all people are supertasters.”可知,只有20%的人是超级味觉者,所以只有一小部分人会觉察到添加了抗氧化剂的牛奶巧克力味道发生了改变。
答案:A
35. What is the main idea of the text
A. Peanut skins have proved to be healthy food.
B. Scientists find maltodextrin makes food taste sweet.
C. Antioxidants and maltodextrin are important in making food.
D. Scientists make milk chocolate healthier while reducing food waste.
解析:主旨大意题。通读文章可知,美国平均每年会浪费掉很多花生皮。食品科学家通过提取花生皮中的抗氧化剂并加入到牛奶巧克力中,这不仅减少了食品浪费,还增加了牛奶巧克力的营养价值。
答案:D

So, you want to become a farmer, but you’ve never grown a crop or raised livestock(家畜) Here’s how to break into agriculture for the person without farming experience.
36. It’s hard work. If you’ve never farmed a day in your life, be ready to answer the question “Why do you want to farm ” with confidence.
Find farms that you like. There might be some in your area; there might not. Ask around. Search the Web, and find out about county fairs and visit them. 37. Talk to them. Ask them what they do, how their farms have changed over time, what direction they think the field is going in, and if you could stop by and visit their farm some time. Farmers are generally friendly and welcome people, though some are more guarded than others.
Dress the part. 38. But if you walk into a law firm interview dressed in a pair of jeans, it’s the same as walking onto a farm wearing a long dress. If you’re just starting out in farming, you’re probably going to be doing a lot of physical labour. Wear a clean T-shirt, jeans, and work boots. Buy a good pair of work gloves because your hands will be sore and full of blisters in a very short time. 39.______ Because the long hair will get caught in something.
Farmers of today are businessmen because they have to be able to survive. 40. If you want to make it past the farm labour stage you must know all aspects of farming.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
A painter living by painting portraits(肖像) was leading a poor life.
One day, a woman came by. She liked the paintings very much and asked the painter to draw a portrait for her. They agreed on 2,000 dollars.
Before painting the portrait, the woman asked the painter to draw more jewels. The painter curiously asked why, but the woman refused to explain. After a week, the portrait was done and the woman came to take the painting. At this moment, she hit on an evil idea of bullying the unknown young artist. She thought, “The portrait is me. If I don’t buy the painting, nobody will buy it. Why should I pay so much money ” So the woman said to the young painter, “I will only pay 200 dollars for it.”
The young man was surprised, for he had never come across such an experience. He strongly argued with her, expecting this woman to keep to the agreement.
“I can only pay 200 dollars to buy the painting,” the woman thought she could win for sure.
The young painter knew the woman broke her promise on purpose, so he felt annoyed. He said in a firm voice, “No, I would prefer to keep this painting rather than be humiliated(羞辱) by you. Today you break your word and some day you must pay 20 times for it.”
“What a joke! 20 times will be 40,000! I won’t be stupid to pay 40,000 dollars to buy the painting!”
“Well, we’d better wait and see,” the young artist shouted to the woman who left angrily. After the stimulation(刺激) of such an incident, the painter moved out of this sad place, studied under acknowledged teachers and worked hard day and night. More than a dozen years later, he finally started a new way and became popular in the circle of art. However, the woman had forgotten the artist’s painting and words the next day.

答案:
Paragraph 1:
One day, that famous painter decided to hold an art exhibition at the very place. Present in the exhibition hall were crowds of celebrities and artists. It was a feast in the circle of art. In the centre was a painting entitled “Thief”, priced at 40,000 dollars. Strangely enough, the woman in the painting looked just the same as the vain woman in reality. Word spread and finally it reached the woman’s ears. She recalled the incident and the painter. It dawned on her that the painter humiliated her in this way.
Paragraph 2:
The woman went there hurriedly, apologised millions of times and promised that she would buy her portrait as soon as possible. The successful painter turned his back to her, speechlessly. With many visitors around, so embarrassed was she that she stood there clumsily, feeling the blood rush to her face. Then the painter turned around and handed her the portrait. Before the woman could pay her money, the painter explained that it was a gift for her, hoping she would be an honest woman without vanity. Anyway, for the painter, it was this incident that made him what he was today.
