Pizza: the World’s Favorite Food
Food, and the way we eat it, is always changing. As society develops, we learn of growing, processing, and cooking food. What we ate 200 years ago was very different from what we eat today. Also, when people travel to live in other countries, they take their knowledge of cooking with them. And food must fit modern lifestyles and local tastes (口味), too. One food that has done this successfully is the pizza.
The pizza we recognize today first appeared in Italy in 1889. A famous baker from Naples made a special pizza for the Italian royal (王室的) family. He was very worried they wouldn’t like it but they did. Queen Margherita loved the dish so much, and the baker named it after her. Since then, this simple meal of bread, cheese, and tomato has traveled the world, and it has adapted to local cultures. The pizza began its journey in the 1890s, when many Italians moved to New York in search of a better life. There they continued to make pizzas, and the first pizzeria opened in 1905.
At first it was only popular with Italians, but by the late 1940s, Americans discovered a taste for it. Today, they spend ＄37 billion a year on pizzas. That’s more than ＄100 per American!
The pizza continued its travels around the world, adapting all the time. In Sweden, for example, it is usual to have bananas on pizzas. In Belgium, people eat chocolate pizzas with marshmallows (棉花糖) on top. Japan is a nation of seafood lovers, so not surprisingly, they love octopus and squid, as well as roasted seaweed, toppings. Australians sometimes choose kangaroo or crocodile on their pizza.
The popularity of the pizza is also related to our changing lifestyles. In today’s super-fast society, people often don’t have the time or energy to cook. So, they order takeout — and very often, it’s a pizza. Sometimes you don’t even have to pick it up; it’s delivered to your home. If you don’t even have time to sit down, buy a single slice and eat it standing up!
The pizza has come a long way. From its beginnings in an Italian city, it has grown to become one of the world’s favorite foods.
21. The pizza first appeared as ________.
A. a dish for the royal family B. a fast food for travelers
C. a homemade white bread D. a popular local food
22. In which country do people love pizzas with bananas on top
A. Japan. B. Belgium. C. Sweden. D. Australia.
23. The passage mainly tells us ________.
A. who made the first pizza B. how the pizza gets popular
C. how the pizza is made D. where the pizza came from
B
If you are living in the city, have you ever thought of going to live in the country for a change
Many people want to move from the country to the city because they think life in the city is more exciting and better than that in rural (农村的) areas, especially young people who like new and modern things.
Often people feel that they can find the latest things only in the city. Other people are interested in new technology and high-tech jobs and think they can find them only in a big city. If they want to find a job, especially a good position in a company, they feel they have to live in a city. To get these jobs, they are willing to put up with many of the disadvantages of city life such as heavy traffic and pollution.
However, it is now possible to enjoy a higher quality of life in the countryside and still enjoy some of the advantages of living in the city.
Nowadays, travel is fast and information is available (可获得的) on the Internet, so many people are able to do their work in home offices.
Because they can send e-mails by personal computers, they don’t have to be in big cities to do their businesses. It is not important where they actually work because the results of their work can be sent everywhere with the help of technology. Now they can enjoy life in the countryside and still be able to do good businesses and have successful careers.

A. City life is more exciting and better
B. People can get high-tech job in the city
C. They are rich than others

A. because travel is not so fast
B. because of e-mails and personal computers
C. because of the Internet and fast travel
D. because the rural areas are developing faster than cities
27. What is the best title for the passage

C. Go and Live in the City D. Go and Live in the Country

Goldie’s Secret
She turned up at the doorstep of my house in Cornwall. No way could I have sent her away. No way, not me anyway. Maybe someone had kicked her out of their car the night before. “We’re moving house.”; “No space for her any more with the baby coming.” “We never really wanted her, but what could we have done She was a present.” People find all sorts of excuses for abandoning an animal. And she was one of the most beautiful dogs I had ever seen.
I called her Goldie. If I had known what was going to happen I would have given her a more creative name. She was so unsettled during those first few days. She hardly ate anything and had such an air of sadness about her. There was nothing I could do to make her happy, it seemed. Heaven knows what had happened to her at her previous owner’s. But eventually at the end of the first week she calmed down. Always by my side, whether we were out on one of our long walks or sitting by the fire.
That’s why it was such a shock when she pulled away from me one day when we were out for a walk. We were a long way from home, when she started barking and getting very restless. Eventually I couldn’t hold her any longer and she raced off down the road towards a farmhouse in the distance as fast as she could.
By the time I reached the farm I was very tired and upset with Goldie. But when I saw her licking (舔) the four puppies (幼犬) I started to feel sympathy towards them. “We didn’t know what had happened to her” said the woman at the door. “I took her for a walk one day, soon after the puppies were born, and she just disappeared.” “She must have tried to come back to them and got lost,” added a boy from behind her.
I must admit I do miss Goldie, but I’ve got Nugget now, and she looks just like her mother. And I’ve learnt a good lesson: not to judge people.
28. How did the author feel about Goldie when Goldie came to the house
A. Shocked. B. Sympathetic. C. Annoyed. D. Upset.

30. Goldie rushed off to a farmhouse one day because she .

C. wanted to leave the author D. found her way to her old home
31. The passage is organized in order of________.
A. time B. effectiveness C. importance D. complexity
D.
An eight-year-old child heard her parents talking about her little brother. All she knew was that he was very sick and they had no money. Only a very expensive operation could save him now and there was no one to lend them the money.
When she heard her daddy say to her tearful mother,“Only a miracle can save him now，” the little girl went to her bedroom and pulled her money from its hiding place and counted it carefully. She hurried to a drugstore（药店）with the money in her hand.
“And what do you want ” asked the salesman. “It’s for my little brother,” the girl answered. “ He’s really, really sick and I want to buy a miracle.” “Pardon？” said the salesman.
“My brother Andrew has something bad growing inside his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him. So how much does a miracle cost？” “We don’t sell a miracle here, child. I’m sorry,” the salesman said with a smile.
“Listen, if it isn’t enough, I can try and get some more. Just tell me how much it costs.”
A well-dressed man heard it and asked，“What kind of a miracle does your brother need？”
“I don’t know，” she answered with her eyes full of tears. “He’s really sick and mum says he needs an operation. But my daddy can’t pay for it，so I have brought all my money.”
“How much do you have？” asked the man. “$ 1.11, but I can try and get some more,” she answered, “Well，what luck,” smiled the man. “$ 1.11，the price of a miracle for little brothers.”
He took up the girl’s hand and said，“Take me to where you live. I want to see your brother and meet your parents. Let’s see if I have the kind of miracle you need.”
That well-dressed man was Dr Carlton Armstrong, a famous doctor. The operation was successful and it wasn’t long before Andrew was home again.

Viral Marketing
Companies are always on the lookout for new ways to sell products. We’re used to seeing ads in newspapers and on television. In recent years, a new type of ad strategy—viral marketing （病毒性营销）—has become popular. It uses the Internet to spread information about a product or service.
The idea of viral marketing is the “word of mouth” effect that is, to get people to recommend a product to others. On the Internet, that can be done by email messages. Or, the information may be posted on forums, blogs, and other websites.
Advertisers can’t force people to spread their message. So, they must think of creative ways to get people to help out. One good way is to give something away. For example, when somebody sends an email using a Hotmail account, there’s an ad on the bottom. It tells others how to get a free account. Other companies give away branded screensavers, wallpaper, and sounds. Whenever they’re seen or shared, it advertises the product.
Another way is funny and interesting videos. When someone comes across a great ad for BMW, they may send a link to their friends. They may even add the video to a forum or panies love the effect. It gets more people to watch their ads, visit their websites, and, hopefully, buy their products.
Unfortunately, it’s hard to plan viral marketing activities. There are many ads and websites on the Internet. So, designers and marketers must think up creative new strategies. If something is funny, interesting, or useful enough, people will tell their friends about it. If it includes giving something away, the viral marketing activity may be even more successful.
41. What does viral marketing use to spread information （不多于两个单词）
42. What is the idea of viral marketing （不多于五个单词）
43. Write down one of the ways used by viral marketers. （不多于四个单词）
44. Why is it hard to plan viral marketing activities （不多于十个单词）

That’s why it was such a shock when she pulled away from me one day when we were out for a walk. We were a long way from home, when she started barking and getting very restless. Eventually I couldn’t hold her any longer and she raced off down the road towards a farmhouse in the distance as fast as she could.
By the time I reached the farm I was very tired and upset with Goldie. But when I saw her licking (舔) the four puppies (幼犬) I started to feel sympathy towards them. “We didn’t know what had happened to her,” said the woman at the door. “I took her for a walk one day, soon after the puppies were born, and she just disappeared.” “She must have tried to come back to them and got lost,” added a boy from behind her.
I must admit I do miss Goldie, but I’ve got Nugget now, and she looks just like her mother. And I’ve learnt a good lesson: not to judge people.
28. How did the author feel about Goldie when Goldie came to the house
A. Shocked. B. Sympathetic. C. Annoyed. D. Upset.
29. In her first few days at the author’s house, Goldie_______.
A. felt worried B. was angry C. ate a little D. sat by the fire
30. Goldie rushed off to a farmhouse one day because she .
A. saw her puppies B. heard familiar barkings
C. wanted to leave the author D. found her way to her old home
31. The passage is organized in order of________.
A. time B. effectiveness C. importance D. complexity
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. D 31. A
D.
An eight-year-old child heard her parents talking about her little brother. All she knew was that he was very sick and they had no money. Only a very expensive operation could save him now and there was no one to lend them the money.
When she heard her daddy say to her tearful mother,“Only a miracle can save him now，” the little girl went to her bedroom and pulled her money from its hiding place and counted it carefully. She hurried to a drugstore（药店）with the money in her hand.
“And what do you want ” asked the salesman. “It’s for my little brother,” the girl answered. “ He’s really, really sick and I want to buy a miracle.” “Pardon？” said the salesman.
“My brother Andrew has something bad growing inside his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him. So how much does a miracle cost？” “We don’t sell a miracle here, child. I’m sorry,” the salesman said with a smile.
“Listen, if it isn’t enough, I can try and get some more. Just tell me how much it costs.”
A well-dressed man heard it and asked，“What kind of a miracle does your brother need？”
“I don’t know，” she answered with her eyes full of tears. “He’s really sick and mum says he needs an operation. But my daddy can’t pay for it，so I have brought all my money.”
“How much do you have？” asked the man. “$ 1.11, but I can try and get some more,” she answered, “Well，what luck,” smiled the man. “$ 1.11，the price of a miracle for little brothers.”
He took up the girl’s hand and said，“Take me to where you live. I want to see your brother and meet your parents. Let’s see if I have the kind of miracle you need.”
That well-dressed man was Dr Carlton Armstrong, a famous doctor. The operation was successful and it wasn’t long before Andrew was home again.

Viral Marketing
Companies are always on the lookout for new ways to sell products. We’re used to seeing ads in newspapers and on television. In recent years, a new type of ad strategy—viral marketing （病毒性营销）—has become popular. It uses the Internet to spread information about a product or service.
The idea of viral marketing is the “word of mouth” effect, that is, to get people to recommend a product to others. On the Internet, that can be done by email messages. Or, the information may be posted on forums, blogs, and other websites.
Advertisers can’t force people to spread their message. So, they must think of creative ways to get people to help out. One good way is to give something away. For example, when somebody sends an email using a Hotmail account, there’s an ad on the bottom. It tells others how to get a free account. Other companies give away branded screensavers, wallpaper, and sounds. Whenever they’re seen or shared, it advertises the product.
Another way is funny and interesting videos. When someone comes across a great ad for BMW, they may send a link to their friends. They may even add the video to a forum or panies love the effect. It gets more people to watch their ads, visit their websites, and, hopefully, buy their products.
Unfortunately, it’s hard to plan viral marketing activities. There are many ads and websites on the Internet. So, designers and marketers must think up creative new strategies. If something is funny, interesting, or useful enough, people will tell their friends about it. If it includes giving something away, the viral marketing activity may be even more successful.
41. What does viral marketing use to spread information （不多于两个单词）
42. What is the idea of viral marketing （不多于五个单词）
43. Write down one of the ways used by viral marketers. （不多于四个单词）
44. Why is it hard to plan viral marketing activities （不多于十个单词）

43. Giving something away. / Funny and interesting videos.
44. The activities must be more creative.

Pizza: the World’s Favorite Food
Food, and the way we eat it, is always changing. As society develops, we learn of growing, processing, and cooking food. What we ate 200 years ago was very different from what we eat today. Also, when people travel to live in other countries, they take their knowledge of cooking with them. And food must fit modern lifestyles and local tastes (口味), too. One food that has done this successfully is the pizza.
The pizza we recognize today first appeared in Italy in 1889. A famous baker from Naples made a special pizza for the Italian royal (王室的) family. He was very worried they wouldn’t like it but they did. Queen Margherita loved the dish so much, and the baker named it after her. Since then, this simple meal of bread, cheese, and tomato has traveled the world, and it has adapted to local cultures. The pizza began its journey in the 1890s, when many Italians moved to New York in search of a better life. There they continued to make pizzas, and the first pizzeria opened in 1905.
At first it was only popular with Italians, but by the late 1940s, Americans discovered a taste for it. Today, they spend ＄37 billion a year on pizzas. That’s more than ＄100 per American!
The pizza continued its travels around the world, adapting all the time. In Sweden, for example, it is usual to have bananas on pizzas. In Belgium, people eat chocolate pizzas with marshmallows (棉花糖) on top. Japan is a nation of seafood lovers, so not surprisingly, they love octopus and squid, as well as roasted seaweed, toppings. Australians sometimes choose kangaroo or crocodile on their pizza.
The popularity of the pizza is also related to our changing lifestyles. In today’s super-fast society, people often don’t have the time or energy to cook. So, they order takeout — and very often, it’s a pizza. Sometimes you don’t even have to pick it up; it’s delivered to your home. If you don’t even have time to sit down, buy a single slice and eat it standing up!
The pizza has come a long way. From its beginnings in an Italian city, it has grown to become one of the world’s favorite foods.
21. The pizza first appeared as ________.
A. a dish for the royal family B. a fast food for travelers
C. a homemade white bread D. a popular local food
22. In which country do people love pizzas with bananas on top
A. Japan. B. Belgium. C. Sweden. D. Australia.
23. The passage mainly tells us ________.
A. who made the first pizza B. how the pizza gets popular
C. how the pizza is made D. where the pizza came from
B
If you are living in the city, have you ever thought of going to live in the country for a change
Many people want to move from the country to the city because they think life in the city is more exciting and better than that in rural (农村的) areas, especially young people who like new and modern things.
Often people feel that they can find the latest things only in the city. Other people are interested in new technology and high-tech jobs and think they can find them only in a big city. If they want to find a job, especially a good position in a company, they feel they have to live in a city. To get these jobs, they are willing to put up with many of the disadvantages of city life such as heavy traffic and pollution.
However, it is now possible to enjoy a higher quality of life in the countryside and still enjoy some of the advantages of living in the city.
Nowadays, travel is fast and information is available (可获得的) on the Internet, so many people are able to do their work in home offices.
Because they can send e-mails by personal computers, they don’t have to be in big cities to do their businesses. It is not important where they actually work because the results of their work can be sent everywhere with the help of technology. Now they can enjoy life in the countryside and still be able to do good businesses and have successful careers.
24. Many people want to live in the city because of the reasons except ________.
A. City life is more exciting and better
B. People can get high-tech job in the city
C. They are rich than others
D. There are various modern things in the city
25. The underlined phrase “put up with” (in Para.3) probably means “________”.
A. stand B. change C. be angry with D. be pleased with
26. Now people can enjoy life in the countryside and still be able to do good businesses and have successful careers________.
A. because travel is not so fast
B. because of e-mails and personal computers
C. because of the Internet and fast travel
D. because the rural areas are developing faster than cities
27. What is the best title for the passage
A. Life in the City B. Life in the Country
C. Go and Live in the City D. Go and Live in the Country

Goldie’s Secret
She turned up at the doorstep of my house in Cornwall. No way could I have sent her away. No way, not me anyway. Maybe someone had kicked her out of their car the night before. “We’re moving house.”; “No space for her any more with the baby coming.” “We never really wanted her, but what could we have done She was a present.” People find all sorts of excuses for abandoning an animal. And she was one of the most beautiful dogs I had ever seen.
I called her Goldie. If I had known what was going to happen I would have given her a more creative name. She was so unsettled during those first few days. She hardly ate anything and had such an air of sadness about her. There was nothing I could do to make her happy, it seemed. Heaven knows what had happened to her at her previous owner’s. But eventually at the end of the first week she calmed down. Always by my side, whether we were out on one of our long walks or sitting by the fire.
That’s why it was such a shock when she pulled away from me one day when we were out for a walk. We were a long way from home, when she started barking and getting very restless. Eventually I couldn’t hold her any longer and she raced off down the road towards a farmhouse in the distance as fast as she could.
By the time I reached the farm I was very tired and upset with Goldie. But when I saw her licking (舔) the four puppies (幼犬) I started to feel sympathy towards them. “We didn’t know what had happened to her” said the woman at the door. “I took her for a walk one day, soon after the puppies were born, and she just disappeared.” “She must have tried to come back to them and got lost,” added a boy from behind her.
I must admit I do miss Goldie, but I’ve got Nugget now, and she looks just like her mother. And I’ve learnt a good lesson: not to judge people.

When she heard her daddy say to her tearful mother,“Only a miracle can save him now，” the little girl went to her bedroom and pulled her money from its hiding place and counted it carefully. She hurried to a drugstore（药店）with the money in her hand.

“My brother Andrew has something bad growing inside his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him. So how much does a miracle cost？” “We don’t sell a miracle here, child. I’m sorry,” the salesman said with a smile.
“Listen, if it isn’t enough, I can try and get some more. Just tell me how much it costs.”
A well-dressed man heard it and asked，“What kind of a miracle does your brother need？”
“I don’t know，” she answered with her eyes full of tears. “He’s really sick and mum says he needs an operation. But my daddy can’t pay for it，so I have brought all my money.”
“How much do you have？” asked the man. “$ 1.11, but I can try and get some more,” she answered, “Well，what luck,” smiled the man. “$ 1.11，the price of a miracle for little brothers.”
He took up the girl’s hand and said，“Take me to where you live. I want to see your brother and meet your parents. Let’s see if I have the kind of miracle you need.”

Pizza: the World’s Favorite Food
Food, and the way we eat it, is always changing. As society develops, we learn of growing, processing, and cooking food. What we ate 200 years ago was very different from what we eat today. Also, when people travel to live in other countries, they take their knowledge of cooking with them. And food must fit modern lifestyles and local tastes (口味), too. One food that has done this successfully is the pizza.
The pizza we recognize today first appeared in Italy in 1889. A famous baker from Naples made a special pizza for the Italian royal (王室的) family. He was very worried they wouldn’t like it but they did. Queen Margherita loved the dish so much, and the baker named it after her. Since then, this simple meal of bread, cheese, and tomato has traveled the world, and it has adapted to local cultures. The pizza began its journey in the 1890s, when many Italians moved to New York in search of a better life. There they continued to make pizzas, and the first pizzeria opened in 1905.
At first it was only popular with Italians, but by the late 1940s, Americans discovered a taste for it. Today, they spend ＄37 billion a year on pizzas. That’s more than ＄100 per American!
The pizza continued its travels around the world, adapting all the time. In Sweden, for example, it is usual to have bananas on pizzas. In Belgium, people eat chocolate pizzas with marshmallows (棉花糖) on top. Japan is a nation of seafood lovers, so not surprisingly, they love octopus and squid, as well as roasted seaweed, toppings. Australians sometimes choose kangaroo or crocodile on their pizza.
The popularity of the pizza is also related to our changing lifestyles. In today’s super-fast society, people often don’t have the time or energy to cook. So, they order takeout — and very often, it’s a pizza. Sometimes you don’t even have to pick it up; it’s delivered to your home. If you don’t even have time to sit down, buy a single slice and eat it standing up!
The pizza has come a long way. From its beginnings in an Italian city, it has grown to become one of the world’s favorite foods.
21. The pizza first appeared as ________.
A. a dish for the royal family B. a fast food for travelers
C. a homemade white bread D. a popular local food
22. In which country do people love pizzas with bananas on top
A. Japan. B. Belgium. C. Sweden. D. Australia.
23. The passage mainly tells us ________.
A. who made the first pizza B. how the pizza gets popular
C. how the pizza is made D. where the pizza came from
【答案】21. A 22. C 23. B
B
If you are living in the city, have you ever thought of going to live in the country for a change
Many people want to move from the country to the city because they think life in the city is more exciting and better than that in rural (农村的) areas, especially young people who like new and modern things.
Often people feel that they can find the latest things only in the city. Other people are interested in new technology and high-tech jobs and think they can find them only in a big city. If they want to find a job, especially a good position in a company, they feel they have to live in a city. To get these jobs, they are willing to put up with many of the disadvantages of city life such as heavy traffic and pollution.
However, it is now possible to enjoy a higher quality of life in the countryside and still enjoy some of the advantages of living in the city.
Nowadays, travel is fast and information is available (可获得的) on the Internet, so many people are able to do their work in home offices.
Because they can send e-mails by personal computers, they don’t have to be in big cities to do their businesses. It is not important where they actually work because the results of their work can be sent everywhere with the help of technology. Now they can enjoy life in the countryside and still be able to do good businesses and have successful careers.

A. City life is more exciting and better
B. People can get high-tech job in the city

A. because travel is not so fast
B. because of e-mails and personal computers
C. because of the Internet and fast travel

Goldie’s Secret
She turned up at the doorstep of my house in Cornwall. No way could I have sent her away. No way, not me anyway. Maybe someone had kicked her out of their car the night before. “We’re moving house.”; “No space for her any more with the baby coming.” “We never really wanted her, but what could we have done She was a present.” People find all sorts of excuses for abandoning an animal. And she was one of the most beautiful dogs I had ever seen.
I called her Goldie. If I had known what was going to happen I would have given her a more creative name. She was so unsettled during those first few days. She hardly ate anything and had such an air of sadness about her. There was nothing I could do to make her happy, it seemed. Heaven knows what had happened to her at her previous owner’s. But eventually at the end of the first week she calmed down. Always by my side, whether we were out on one of our long walks or sitting by the fire.
That’s why it was such a shock when she pulled away from me one day when we were out for a walk. We were a long way from home, when she started barking and getting very restless. Eventually I couldn’t hold her any longer and she raced off down the road towards a farmhouse in the distance as fast as she could.
By the time I reached the farm I was very tired and upset with Goldie. But when I saw her licking (舔) the four puppies (幼犬) I started to feel sympathy towards them. “We didn’t know what had happened to her,” said the woman at the door. “I took her for a walk one day, soon after the puppies were born, and she just disappeared.” “She must have tried to come back to them and got lost,” added a boy from behind her.
I must admit I do miss Goldie, but I’ve got Nugget now, and she looks just like her mother. And I’ve learnt a good lesson: not to judge people.

He took up the girl’s hand and said，“Take me to where you live. I want to see your brother and meet your parents. Let’s see if I have the kind of miracle you need.”

Viral Marketing
Companies are always on the lookout for new ways to sell products. We’re used to seeing ads in newspapers and on television. In recent years, a new type of ad strategy—viral marketing （病毒性营销）—has become popular. It uses the Internet to spread information about a product or service.
The idea of viral marketing is the “word of mouth” effect, that is, to get people to recommend a product to others. On the Internet, that can be done by email messages. Or, the information may be posted on forums, blogs, and other websites.
Advertisers can’t force people to spread their message. So, they must think of creative ways to get people to help out. One good way is to give something away. For example, when somebody sends an email using a Hotmail account, there’s an ad on the bottom. It tells others how to get a free account. Other companies give away branded screensavers, wallpaper, and sounds. Whenever they’re seen or shared, it advertises the product.
Another way is funny and interesting videos. When someone comes across a great ad for BMW, they may send a link to their friends. They may even add the video to a forum or panies love the effect. It gets more people to watch their ads, visit their websites, and, hopefully, buy their products.
Unfortunately, it’s hard to plan viral marketing activities. There are many ads and websites on the Internet. So, designers and marketers must think up creative new strategies. If something is funny, interesting, or useful enough, people will tell their friends about it. If it includes giving something away, the viral marketing activity may be even more successful.
41. What does viral marketing use to spread information （不多于两个单词）
42. What is the idea of viral marketing （不多于五个单词）
43. Write down one of the ways used by viral marketers. （不多于四个单词）

44. The activities must be more creative.
