一、阅读理解
A
From chocolate toothpaste in the Philippines to salt and vinegar potato chips in the UK, products popular in one place often receive a cool reception elsewhere. It ofcourse poses a challenge to food companies seeking to export their brands.
The snack-food company Frito-Lay addresses the issue by discovering the best-loved flavours in each oftheir markets. So while cheese, spicy chilli and barbecue are popular flavours in the USA, Turkey goes for yogurt. The French prefer olive and Japan likes sushi flavours. But all ofthem are sold under the globally familiar Doritos brand. Frito-Lay’s understanding oflocal tastes around the world-and the successful adaptation oftheir product-has made Doritos one ofthe world’s most popular snack foods.
Everyone everywhere loves ice cream, it seems. The Anglo-Dutch food giant Unilever sells it in over 40 countries. The company used to sell their ice cream under a lot ofdifferent brands, which created the sense that the companies were local. In 1998, the company launched the‘Heartbrand’logo (标志) to increase international brand awareness, but kept the familiar local names for the ice cream products. This helped avoid the problem ofsome names not sounding good in other languages. So in Bulgaria and Greece, you buy Algida, but in China, Malaysia,
Singapore and the UK, it’s Wall’s.
There are some products that will always remain at home, such as the durian (榴莲), known as the ‘the king of fruits’ in its homeland of Southeast Asia. The fruit’s most notable feature is its strong smell, described by some as that of rotten onions and by others as old gym socks, though it is said to taste delicious by its fans. Though some durians are grown outside of Southeast Asia, the only place the fruit enjoys any wide popularity at all is in Southeast Asia and even there, some people can’t stand it! So don’t expect to see durians in your local supermarket any time soon.
1 .What does the underlined word “It” in paragraph I refer to
A .The snack culture.
B .The cold welcome.
C .The food preference.
D .The global popularity.
2 .Why is Frito-Lay so successful
A .They provide chips of high quality.
B .They make snacks to suit local tastes.
C .They unite markets of different countries.
D .They use advertising to build new brands.
3 .What is Unilever’s ice cream called in Singapore
A .Anglo-Dutch. B .Algida. C .Heartbrand. D .Wall’s.
4 .What is the last paragraph mainly about
A .Durians’ sales dilemma.
B .Durians’ nutritional value.
C .Durians’ smell problems.
D .Durians’ attractive features.

Fortunately, that atmosphere is matched by excellent food and service, both provided by the chef and owner Emanuele Addone, who personally visits each table.

Imagine the most English-English person you can think of. Now I’m fairly certain that no matter what picture you just thought up, that person comes complete with a stiff upper lip and a cup of tea in their hand, because that’s what the English do. They carry on and they drink tea. Tea is so utterly English, such a rooted part of the culture, that it’s also rooted in how everyone else around the world perceives that culture.
And while it’s fairly common knowledge that Westerners have China to thank for the original cultivation of tea drinking, it’s far less known that it was the Portuguese who inspired its popularity in England in particular, one Portuguese woman.
Travel back in time to 1662, when Catherine of Braganza (daughter of Portugal’s King John IV) won the hand
of England’s newly restored monarch, King Charles II, with the help of a very large dowry (嫁妆) that included money, spices, treasures and the highly profitable ports of Tangiers and Bombay. This made her one very important lady: the Queen of England, Scotland and Ireland.
When she relocated up north to join King Charles, she is said to have packed loose-leaf tea as part of her personal belongings; it would also have likely been part of her dowry. A fun legend has it that the boxes were marked Iransporte de Ervas Aromaticas (Transport of Aromatic Herbs) later shortened to T. E. A.
That last bit probably isn’t true (experts believe the word “tea” came from a Chinese character), but what is for sure is that tea was already popular among the upper class of Portugal due to the country’s direct trade line to China via Macau.
8 .What do people think of tea drinking in Britain
A .Typical. B .Fashionable. C .Incredible. D .Unusual.
9 .Who promoted the fashion of tea drinking in England
A .Common Westerners.
B .The Chinese people.
C .Portugal’s King John IV.
D .The Queen of King Charles II.
10 .What can we learn from the last two paragraphs
A .Tea was part of the dowry of Catherine of Braganza.
B .The word ‘tea’ came from Portuguese marks on the boxes.
C .Tea became popular in Portugal earlier than it did in England.
D .The direct trade line between China and England developed because of tea.
11 .Which is the most suitable title for the text
A .The story behind British tea drinking.
B .The legend of tea drinking in Portugal.
C .The origin of Westerners’ tea drinking.
D .The history of tea trade between China and Britain.
D
In its early history, Chicago had floods frequently, especially in the spring, making the streets so muddy that people, horses, and carts got stuck. An old joke that was popular at the time went something like this: A man is stuck up to his waist in a muddy Chicago street. Asked if he needs help, he replies, “No, thanks. I’ve got a good horse under me.”
The city planner decided to build-an underground drainage (排水) system, but there simply wasn’t enough difference between the height of the ground level and the water level. The only two choices were to lower the Chicago River or raise the city.
An engineer named Ellis Chesbrough convinced the city that it had no choice but to build the pipes above ground and then cover them with dirt. This raised the level of the city’s streets by as much as 12 feet.
This of course created a new problem: dirt practically buried the first floors of every building in Chicago. Building owners were faced with a choice: either change the first floors of their buildings into basements (地下室), and the second stories into main floors, or hoist the entire buildings to meet the new street level. Small wood-frame (结构) buildings could be lifted fairly easily. But what about large, heavy structures like the Tremont Hotel, which was a six-story brick building
That’s where George Pullman came in. He had developed some house-moving skills successfully. To lift a big structure like the Tremont Hotel, Pullman would place thousands ofjackscrews (千斤顶) beneath the building’s foundation (地基). One man was assigned to operate each section of about 10 jackscrews. At Pullman’s signal each man turned his jackscrew the same amount at the same time, thus raising the building slowly and evenly. Surprisingly, the Tremont Hotel stay open during the entire operation, and many of its guests didn’t even notice
anything was happening.
Some people like to say that every problem has a solution. But in Chicago’s early history, every engineering solution seemed to create a new problem. Now that Chicago’s waste water was draining efficiently into the Chicago River, the city’s next step was to clean the polluted river.
12 .The city planners were convinced by Ellis Chesbrough to ______.
A .get rid of the street dirt B .lower the Chicago River
C .fight against heavy floods D .build the pipes above ground
13 .The underlined word “hoist” in Paragraph 4 means “______” .
A .lift B .change C .repair D .reflect
14 .What can we conclude about the moving operation of the Tremont Hotel
A .It interrupted the business of the hotel.
B .It went on well as intended.
C .It involved Pullman turning ten jackscrews.
D .It separated the building from its foundation.
15 .The passage is mainly about the early Chicago’s ______.
A .popular life styles and their influences
B .environmental disasters and their causes
C .engineering problems and their solutions
D .successful businessmen and their achievements

The school picnic day was on Sunday, and on Saturday morning I decided to ask Mum some questions. As soon as Mum took the last bite of her toast, I decided I couldn’t wait for her any longer and asked, “Mum, where is Italy ”
My mum pushed up her glasses and looked at me with her head to one side. Then she said, “Italy is an
European country which is very far away from here, my love. Why do you want to know that ” I shrugged (耸肩), “That’s where Mike, the new boy in our class is from.”
She nodded and invited me to go to fetch the geography book. The book was big and Mum always kept the very big books on the bottom shelf of our bookcase. I watched as Mum flipped to the index and then to a page near the middle. “Here we go,” she said, turning the map around to show me. I let my finger meet hers where it said the word “Italy” in capital letters. According to the introduction to the country on the page, Mum helped me know more about the country.
“You know, Mum, Mike’s parents are extremely busy working in the downtown. He seldom eats regularly let alone (更不用说) have his native foods. I really want him to be very happy for his first picnic with us…” I paused and observed Mum, worried that Mum would think that it was silly and maybe a waste of money buying food only to give it away. But she didn’t. Instead, she said, “I think that’s a brilliant idea! Go and get ready, and we’ll head out on a big shopping.”

Surprisingly, the Tremont Hotel stay open during the entire operation, and many of its guests didn’t even notice anything was happening.(在普尔曼的信号下,每个人同时转 动起重螺杆相同的量,从而缓慢而均匀地升起建筑物。令人惊讶的是,特雷蒙特酒店在整个行动过程中都 保持营业,许多客人甚至没有注意到发生了什么)”可知,特雷蒙特酒店的移动计划进行得很顺利。故选 B 项。
15.主旨大意题。根据第一段“In its early history, Chicago had floods frequently, especially in the spring, making the streets so muddy that people, horses, and carts got stuck.(在其早期历史中, 芝加哥经常发生洪水, 尤其是在春 季, 使街道变得泥泞不堪, 以至于人、马和车都被困住)”以及最后一段“But in Chicago’s early history, every engineering solution seemed to create a new problem. Now that Chicago’s waste water was draining efficiently into the Chicago River, the city’s next step was to clean the polluted river.(但在芝加哥的早期历史中,每一个工程解 决方案似乎都会产生新的问题。现在,芝加哥的废水已经有效地排入芝加哥河,该市的下一步是清理污染 的河流)”可知,本文主要介绍了芝加哥早期的工程问题及其解决办法。故选 C 项。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了体验一种新的文化的好处。
16.上文“Often the best way to really explore a new place and culture is by spending abundant time there. A quick vacation may give you a glimpse(警) into your destination. (通常,真正探索一个新的地方和文化的最好方法是 在那里度过大量的时间。短暂度假可以让你对目的地有个初步了解。 )”提出探索一个新的地方和文化的最好 方法是在那里度过大量的时间, 短暂度假只能让你对目的地有个初步了解, G 项“Butexperiences like student or work exchange programs allow you to immerse(沉浸) in a new culture(但是像学生或工作交换项目这样的经 历可以让你沉浸在一种新的文化中。)”给出两种能让人沉浸在一种新的文化中的方式:学生或工作交换项目, 与上文中“Aquick vacation”构成转折关系,上下文语意连贯。故选 G。
17.上文“Culture shock is a response to your new surroundings when abroad that can leave you confused, anxious and feeling lonely. It generally includes frustration at how even the simplest things can be different in the new culture. The thing is though, culture shock can be seen as a problem but also as an opportunity. (文化冲击是你在 国外对新环境的一种反应,它会让你困惑、焦虑和感到孤独。它通常包括对新文化中即使是最简单的事情 也会有所不同的挫败感。问题是, 文化冲击既可以被视为一个问题, 也可以被视为一个机会。 )”介绍了什么 是文化冲击,结合段首标题“Dealing with culture shock(应对文化冲击)”可知本段最终要说明如果应对文化冲 击, F 项“Only by adjusting to and accepting new surroundings can you understand and appreciate it (只有适应和 接受新的环境,你才能理解和欣赏它。 )”给出应对文化冲击的办法“by adjusting to and accepting new surroundings”,照应主题。故选 F。
18.这里为本段小标题。根据下文“Perhaps the most obvious lesson learned with travel is the importance of
language. Even just learning the basics of the local language can make getting about and making new friends easier. Trying to overcome the language barrier also teaches you about non-verbal communication. Since you can’t rely on what is being said, you learn to adapt, to people’s tone and body language. This makes you a better communicator.
(也许从旅行中学到的最明显的教训就是语言的重要性。即使只是学习当地语言的基本知识也能让你更容易 走动和结交新朋友。努力克服语言障碍还能教会你非语言交流。因为你不能依赖别人说的话,你要学会适 应别人的语气和肢体语言。这会让你成为一个更好的沟通者。 )”可知, 本段主要介绍语言对体验新文化的重
要性。所以 A 项“Learning language skills (学习语言技能)”是最佳主题句。故选 A。
19.根据后文“In each of these creative fields you may come across new approaches or elements that you bring home with you; maybe it’s a certain combination of ingredients that you add to your cooking or a new style you adopt for your own home’s design. (在这些创造性的领域中,你可能会遇到新的方法或元素,你带回家;也许是你在烹 饪中添加的某种食材组合, 或者是你为自己的家庭设计采用的一种新风格。 )”可知, 本段介绍通过当地的艺 术、美食、建筑等方面来体验新的文化。所以 E 项“Experiencing the local culture can expose you to local art, cuisine, architecture, etc. (体验当地文化可以让你接触到当地的艺术、美食、建筑等。 )”符合上下文语境。故 选 E。
20.根据前句“Meeting people and making friends while overseas is both a necessity and one of the most enjoyable aspects of the experience. (在海外结识朋友是必要的, 也是最令人愉快的经历之一。 )”和后半句“which enables you to meet people that you never would have known otherwise. (它能让你认识一些你以前永远不会认识的 人。 )”可知, 通过社交, 结交朋友是体验新文化的好方法。所以 D 项“Travellingto new cultures is a great way to expand your social circle (到新的文化中旅行是扩大你的社交圈的好方法, )”符合上下文语境。故选 D。

47.I got ready so quickly that morning that I thought I must have beaten a world record. In five minutes I had my trousers and T-shirt pulled on, and hurriedly emptied my piggy bank. With all the money I saved carefully put in my pocket, I rushed to meet my smiling Mum at the front gate. We went to stands of fresh fruits and vegetables, selecting some for making pizza. Proudly looking at the products, Mum and I drove back home in high spirits. I could picture the perfect pizza which my mother was expert in cooking and the new boy's amazed face. We gathered on the grass on Sunday morning and I saw the Italian boy immediately. I waved my hand to draw Mike’s attention. He looked around and finally made sure that he was my target. Shy and quiet, he approached me with a light-hearted pace. I patted the place beside me, gestured him to sit down and unpacked his native food. He hesitated at first but later focused his eyes on my sincere face and gave me a broad smile. What a beautiful day it was! We enjoyed the delicious pizza together and came to understand each other by sharing different experiences. No one would resist the sincere kindness.
