A
Greengrocer Charlie Hicks looks at some of the unusual fruit and vegetables you can buy in supermarkets today.
Purple carrots
Did you know that people in the past didn't eat carrots because they didn't taste good?They used them for medicine,and they were white,purple,red,yellow or black.People only grew the first orange carrots about 500 years ago.Now supermarkets sell carrots with purple or yellow skins,but they're still orange inside.I don't see the point.Close your eyes and it's a carrot.
Strawmatoes
It's a silly name but I like strawmatoes.It's not a strawberry mixed with a tomato because you can't do that.It's just a different type of tomato.They're nice and sweet so you can put them in desserts.【出处:21教育名师】
Low-carb potatoes
These are special potatoes that are very low in carbohydrates(碳水化合物),so they're good for you if you're on a diet.Again,what's the point?I'd rather have normal potatoes.If you don't want to eat carbohydrates,have some lettuce.
Square watermelons
I don't like these.I think they're silly.The Japanese first made square watermelons in about 2001,because round watermelons are difficult to keep in fridges.You can buy them in a few supermarkets these days.No fruit or vegetable is naturally square.I eat a lot of watermelons and I prefer a nice,round one.
(B)16.From the passage,we can know that Charlie likes ________.
A.purple carrots
B.strawmatoes
C.square watermelons
D.low-carb potatoes
(C)17.The passage mainly talks about ________.
A.common food in supermarkets
B.some healthy food
C.some unusual fruit and vegetables

Look around and you'll see people busy on their smart phones.Smart phones do make our lives easier.But have you ever thought about what they mean to your eyes?
According to a study,half of British people own smart phones and they spend an average of two hours a day using them.There has been a 35% increase in the number of people in the UK who suffer from short-sightedness (近视) since smart phones were introduced there in 1997.
Staring at smart phones for a long time gives you dry eyes.When looking at something in the distance,your eyes automatically blink (自动眨眼) a certain number of times.However,when you look at things closer to your face,the blink slows down.This reduces the amount of tears and causes discomfort in your eyes.Another bad habit is using smart phones in dark rooms before going to sleep.If you look at a bright screen while your pupils (瞳孔) become larger,too much light enters your eyes.This can do harm to the eyes and cause a disease called glaucoma (青光眼).
While you're probably not going to stop using your smart phone,there are a few things you can do to protect your eyes.Hold your phone at least 30 centimeters away from your eyes when using it.Take a break every hour and try the following:look at something at least five meters from you and then focus on the tip of your nose.Repeat this several times.It would reduce the discomfort in your eyes.
(B)19.The article is mainly about ________.
A.the rules to obey when using smart phones
B.the harm to the eyes from smart phones
C.the advantages and disadvantages of smart phones21教育名师原创作品
D.the reasons that teenagers get short-sightedness21*cnjy*com
(C)20.From Paragraph 2,we can learn ________.
A.half of the British people began to use smart phones 17 years ago
B.each of the British people spends two hours a day on smart phone
C.more British people have suffered from short-sightedness since 1997
D.the number of British people who own smart phones increased by 35%
(D)21.According to Paragraph 3,using smart phones wrongly may cause ________.
A.too many blinks
B.smaller pupils
C.more tears in the eyes
D.dry eyes and glaucoma
(D)22.This article is written to advise people ________.
A.to stop using smart phones
B.not to buy smart phones
C.to make full use of smart phones
D.to use smart phones correctly

Although people everywhere seem to enjoy drinking coffee,they don't all have the same coffee culture.In Europe,for example,coffee shops are common places for people to meet friends and to talk while they drink coffee.On the other hand,places like this were not as common in North America in the past.Instead,people in North America liked to drink coffee in their homes with friends.The coffee culture in the USA changed when Starbucks coffee shops spread across the country.
The first Starbucks coffee shop opened in 1971 in downtown Seattle,Washington,in the USA.It was a small coffee shop that cooked its own coffee beans.The coffee shop's business did well,and by 1981 there were three Starbucks stores in Seattle.
Things really began to change for the company in 1981.That year,Howard Schultz met the three men who ran Starbucks.Schultz worked in New York for a company that made kitchen equipment.He noticed that Starbucks ordered a large number of special coffee makers,which caused his great interest.Schultz went to Seattle to see what Starbucks did.In 1982,the original Starbucks owners hired Schultz as the company's head of marketing(市场营销).
In 1983,Schultz traveled to Italy.The special environment of the espresso (浓咖啡) bars there caught his eyes.Back in the USA,Schultz created an environment for Starbucks coffee shops that was comfortable and casual,and customers everywhere seemed to like it.Starbucks began opening more stores across the USA.Then the company opened coffee shops in other countries as well.Today,there are more than 16,000 Starbucks coffee shops all over the world.
However,that does not mean Starbucks has not had problems.In fact,many Starbucks stores have closed over the past few years.On the one hand,this is because there were too many coffee shops competing for business in one small area.On the other hand,stores in some countries closed because the coffee culture there did not match with the “feel the same everywhere” environment offered by Starbucks.
(B)23.The underlined word “ran” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”.
A.moved B.managed
C.loved D.used
(C)24.According to the passage,which is the right order for the following sentences?
a.This man helped to make Starbucks a huge coffee company.2·1·c·n·j·y
b.He went to Seattle to learn about the company and later worked for it.
c.Howard Schultz noticed Starbucks ordered lots of special coffee makers.
d.Starbucks began as a small coffee company in Seattle in the USA.
A.a—d—c—b B.a—d—b—c
C.d—c—b—a D.d—c—a—b
(D)25.Why did so many Starbucks close in small areas?www-2-1-cnjy-com
A.The coffee in these places was too expensive.
B.The style of the coffee stores seems the same.
C.People like to drink coffee at home with friends.【版权所有:21教育】
D.There were too many coffee shops in one place.
