Four Useful Products for Your Life
Electric Wine Opener
Cost: $19.89
高二学年英语学科期中试卷第( 3 ) 共 14页
Once you've tried this tool, you'll never go back to the old fashioned kind. This electric wine
opener will remove the cork (瓶塞) easily within seconds, and can open up to 30 bottles with a single
charge.
Fantastic Ice Cream Spoon
Cost: $14. 99
It’s always disappointing when you're really in the mood for ice cream, but have to wait forever
for the ice cream to get to just the right softness. Well, this heated ice cream spoon exactly conducts
heat from your hands, and will help soften the ice cream to make it ready to eat right away.
Express Baker
Cost: $58. 99
Making your own bread seems like a quite difficult job. But this baker makes it easier—within
an hour. It has 12 different bread settings, and three different crust settings, so you can make bread,
pizza and more. A quick look through the reviews shows that customers are pretty happy with it, too.
Corn Stripper
Cost: $7.99
There's no denying that corn on the cob (棒) is delicious But eating corn on the cob and dealing
with all the little bits that get stuck in your teeth afterwards is a painful experience. This little device
takes all the corns from the cob, by letting you strip (剥) your corn easily, without making a total
mess.

If you bought some candy months ago but never ate it, how can you tell whether it is still safe to
eat The easiest way is to check the “use by date” printed on the wrapper. If that date has already
passed, you’re likely to throw the candy away.
But is that really necessary According to a new report from the US Natural Resources Defense
Council (NRDC), tons of food is wasted each year, largely because people don’t fully understand
what expiration (截止日期) dates, or “use by dates”, actually mean.
Food dating was introduced in the 1970s because consumers wanted more information about the
things that they were eating. When they first showed up, use by dates were only supposed to indicate
freshness because producers wanted their products to be tasted in their best conditions.
But the truth is that these dates aren’t related to the risk of food poisoning or food borne illness,
according to Time News. However, most customers misinterpreted use by dates and related them to
the safety of the food, and they still largely do now. Eggs, for example, can still be eaten three to five
weeks after purchase even though the use by date is much earlier. When their use by dates pass,
strawberry flavored drinks may lose their red color and biscuits may lose their crunch (松脆), but they
are not harmful.
“It’s a confusing subject, the difference between food quality and food safety,” said Jena Roberts,
vice president of National Food Lab, a US food testing company. “Even in the food industry I have
colleagues who get confused.”
This is why scientists are calling for a standard explanation to be printed following the use by
dates. “We want this to be clearly communicated so consumers are not misunderstanding the data and
contributing to a lot of waste,” said Dana Gunders, a staff scientist with the NRDC.
高二学年英语学科期中试卷第( 5 ) 共 14页
But this won’t be a mistake that is easy to correct since people have believed it for so long.
Another problem is that the quality levels of different foods change differently—some are still safe to
eat long after their use by date while others are not.
As a result, food industry officials are now thinking of changing the use by date to a date
indicating when food is most likely to go bad.
24. The use by date was first intended to ________.
A. show the safety of food B. give a warning of food poisoning
C. tell the freshness of food. D. indicate the relation between food and illness
25. The underlined word “misinterpreted" in Paragraph 4 probably means ________.
A. made guesses about B. formed a wrong idea about
C. made wrong use of D. took no notice of
26. Which of the following is TRUE
A. Most customers understand what use by dates mean.
B. “Use by dates” have existed for more than 60 years.
C. Biscuits can’t be eaten when not as crunchy as they are bought.
D. Even after their use by dates pass, some foods are still safe to eat.
27. Scientists are calling for a standard explanation to be printed together with the use by dates
because ________.
A. use by dates are not helpful or reliable
B. most consumers often misunderstand use by dates
C. more consumers get worried about food safety
D. the quality level of different foods changes differently

Costa Rica is about two thirds the size of Scotland but still shelters five percent of the world’s
biodiversity (生物多样性). Covered by rainforest and cloud forest, filled with 129 volcanoes and
washed by both the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, it is a dream destination for visitors.
高二学年英语学科期中试卷第( 6 ) 共 14页
In the cloud forest, hundreds of orchid (兰花) species bloom, beautiful birds sing and butterflies
flash their colorful wings, while on the Caribbean coast, four species of turtle choose the warm sands
as their annual nesting sites.
If you love adventure, try hiking through the lava fields of Arenal Volcano, which is among the
ten most active in the world and standing at 5,437 feet tall, or walk through the cloud forest on a
series of zip lines in Monteverde. And you are happy with the choice when it comes to
accommodation. Will you stay in a tree house or a hotel on the beach The options are endless.
Now it is easier to get to Costa Rica. In 2016, British Airways launched a direct flight from
London Gatwick to San Jose, so you can now reach the nation in less than 11 hours. Once you arrive,
touring the country is simple. There are domestic flights if you are short of time. Many hotels and tour
operators put together good packages to visit local highlights, or if you prefer, you can even rent a car.
Costa Rica is a year round destination, with the driest period between December and April. For
the rest of the year, the scenery looks more green and amazing, with sunny mornings and showers in
the afternoon.
A beautiful rainforest country in Central America, Costa Rica has coastlines on both the
Caribbean and Pacific Ocean and some of the world’s best beaches. Costa Rica’s diversity of scenery
and natural wonders provides visitors with adventure, relaxation, romance and exploration.

At a farm off Narrow Lane near Lexington, Kentucky, US, old fashioned houses look over the
little red barn(畜棚). The farm is mostly empty now. Jim Mahan and his family, who lived there for
generations, have moved to a different plot of land in northern Fayette County. As land is sold, houses
go up where there once were fields.
But during the summer, the barn is filled with city kids who have come to enjoy the farm.
They’re members of the Fayette County Livestock(FCL)Club, which showcases (展示) various skills.
The barn is where they look after the animals. “A lot of Lexington kids don’t know anything about
farm life,” said Adria Meier, 17, who has looked after goats and sheep for three years. “There is so
much to learn.”
The dozen or so children who take care of their goats and sheep at the little red barn must take a
six hour class before they get an animal. They pay for their own animals but get special club programs,
such as one that provides vet (兽医) care.
Mahan lets the group use the barn for free, and the kids spend up to three hours a day there
during the summer. But as his land gets sold, he doesn’t know whether the club can continue. What
makes the FCL Club special is that most of the kids can walk out their doors and take care of their
animals. Most are driven to the barn by their mothers, who usually hang around and chat as their kids
feed and exercise the animals.
There are valuable lessons learned along the way. For instance, don’t cut wool off your goat
when there is wind, and sheep are social animals and will cry loudly when separated. “Tending to
animals helps teach us responsibility. Unlike learning to shoot an arrow, caring for an animal isn’t

something you can simply abandon,” said Carly Playforth, 16, from Lexington
32. What is the requirement for kids before they get animals
A. Having various skills. B. Paying certain money.
C. Attending a class. D. Getting special club programs.
33. What do we know about the club
A. It offers services unconditionally. B. It allows mothers to push kids.
C. It lets mothers care for animals. D. It pays for the use of the barn.
34. Which word best describes Carly Playforth’s attitude to the experience
A. Cautious. B. Doubtful. C. Supportive. D. Negative.
35. What is the text mainly about
A. Kids’ life on a sold farm. B. Valuable lessons learned on the farm.
C. A special club intended for Lexington kids. D. A club activity of caring for farm animals.

67. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
I wasn’t the most popular kid in my freshman year. I wasn’t into fashion, preferred reading to
sports, had difficulty talking to boys. Therefore, the first year of high school hadn’t been kind to me.I
had no close friends. I mostly kept to myself with my head buried in a book.
Ashley was very different from me. She was outspoken and fashionable. She was quite popular.
These were qualities I knew nothing about. We had always been in the same classes throughout school,
but had never talked much.
During summer school, we were both taking classes. The teacher paired us up on an assignment.
We met at the library to work on the project and really got well. Of course, Ashley did most of the
talking. When classes ended we continued to hang out.
I looked up to Ashley; she was all of the things I thought I wanted to be. I began listening to the
music she listened to, wearing the clothes she wore. I quit reading and started watching the TV
programs Ashley watched. I even tailored my sophomore (大二) year schedule to her interests. I
decided to take art class even though I had really wanted to take theatre.
When we started school again, Ashley introduced me to her group of friends, the“cool girls.”
She was the leader of their group. Finally I ft in. I followed them around, laughing when they told
jokes, agreeing when they had opinions. I didn’t say much. I wouldn’t want them to think that I was
being rude by disagreeing. This continued for several months.
One day, I overheard Ashley and her friends were talking about me.
“She’s such a loser,“ one girl said to the group.“Ashley, she just follows you around trying to
be you. She copies you;she doesn’t have a personality of her own.”

together and now she thinks we’re best friends or something."
