Does your mouth water when you think of cookies,burgers and French fries?Many people prefer junk food to healthy food because they develop a taste for it.Processed,baked,and fried foods often contain a high amount of trans fats(反式脂肪). Food companies and restaurants choose to use trans fat oils because they're cheap and they make baked goods last longer.They also improve the taste of food.Trans fats became very popular in the second half of the 20th century.This is around the time when butter got a bad name for its cholesterol (胆固醇) levels. Today doctors know how dangerous trans fats can be.Trans fats raise bad cholesterol and lower the good cholesterol that your body needs.Fatty foods do more than cause obesity.Trans fats build up in the body and block blood flow to the heart.People whose diet contains a high percentage of trans fats are at risk of developing heart disease. In countries such as the US and Canada there are new government restrictions on food production.Food makers must attach a Nutrition Fact label to their products.These list daily recommendations and detail all the ingredients in a product,including trans fats if they're used.Even fast-food chains such as McDonald's are being forced to change their recipes as people become more health-conscious.In Europe,food producers have voluntarily started using labels that clearly show how healthy each product is according to a simple rating system. Reading the list of ingredients on the label is a good way of avoiding dangerous ingredients like trans fats.Another way is to avoid eating out,especially in fast-food restaurants.Also,when shopping try to buy your food in the fresh-food section and limit the amount of processed food you buy.The choices you make now will affect you for the rest of your life.The healthier your diet is now,the longer and healthier your life will be.(1)Why do people like to eat junk food? ____ A.Because of its price.B.ecause of its trend.C.Because of its taste.D.Because of its color.(2)Why are trans fat oils used in food production? ____ A.They are good for health.B.They taste better than butter.C.They can last longer than butter.D.They can lower the cost of production.(3)How does the author support the underlined statement in Paragraph 3? ____ A.By telling stories.B.y presenting statistics.C.By making comparisons.D.By providing explanations.(4)What does the underlined word"These"in Paragraph 4 refer to? ____ A.The labels.B.The recipes.C.The products.D.The restrictions.(5)What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? ____ A.The ways to do shopping.B.The tips on healthy diets.C.The influence of tans fats.D.The role of food ingredients.
三、 阅读理解(共 3 题)3. Perhaps you think you could easily add to your happiness with more money. Strange as it mayseem, if you're unsatisfied, the issue is not a lack of means to meet your desires but a lack ofdesires—not that you cannot satisfy your tastes but that you don't have enough tastes. Real riches consist of well-developed and hearty capacities ( 能力) to enjoy life. Mostpeople are already swamped(淹没) with things. They eat, wear, go and talk too much.Theylive in too big a house with too many rooms, yet their house of life is a hut. Your house of life ought to be a mansion ( 豪宅) , a royal palace. Every new taste, everyadditional interest, every fresh enthusiasm adds a room. Here are several rooms your house oflife should have. Art should be a desire for you to develop simply because the world is full of beautifulthings. If you only understood how to enjoy them and feed your spirit on them, they wouldmake you as happy as to find plenty of hamburgers and eggs when you're hungry. Literature, classic literature, is a beautiful, richly furnished room where you might findmany an hour of rest and refreshment. To gain that love would go toward making you a richperson, for a rich person is not someone who has a library but who likes a library. Music like Mozart's and Bach's shouldn't be absent. Real riches are of the spirit. And whenyou've brought that spirit up to where classical music feeds it and makes you a little drunk,you have increased your thrills and bettered them. And life is a matter of thrills. Sports, without which you remain poor, mean a lot in life. No matter who you are, youwould be more human, and your house of life would be better supported against the bad days,if you could, and did, played a bit. Whatever rooms you might add to your house of life, the secret of enjoying life is to keepadding.【1】The author intends to tell us that____________.A.true happiness lies in achieving wealth by fair meansB.big houses are people's most valued possessionsC.big houses can in a sense bring richness of lifeD.true happiness comes from spiritual riches【2】The underlined sentence in the second paragraph probably implies that______.A.however materially rich, they never seem to be satisfiedB.however materially rich, they remain spiritually poorC.though their house is big, they prefer a simple lifeD.though their house is big, it seems to be a cage【3】It can be learned from the passage that __________.A.more money brings more happinessB.art is needed to make your house beautifulC.literature can enrich your spiritual lifeD.sports contribute mainly to your physical fitness【4】What would be the best title for the passage?A.House of Life B.Secret of WealthC.Rest and Refreshment D.Interest and Enthusiasm 4. I was desperately nervous about becoming car-free. But eight months ago our car was hit by apassing vehicle and it was destroyed. No problem, I thought: we’ll buy another. But the insurancepayout didn’t even begin to cover the costs of buying a new car—I worked out that, with the loanwe’d need plus petrol, insurance, parking permits and tax, we would make a payment as much as£600 a month.And that’s when I had my fancy idea. Why not just give up having a car at all? I live inLondon. We have a railway station behind our house, a tube station 10 minutes’ walk away,and a bus stop at the end of the street. A new car club had just opened in our area, and one ofits shiny little red Peugeots was parked nearby. If any family in Britain could live without acar, I reasoned, then surely we were that family. But my new car-free idea, sadly, wasn’t shared by my family. My teenage daughters werehorrified. What would their friends think about our family being “too poor to afford a car”? (Iwasn’t that bothered what they thought, and I suggested the girls should take the sameapproach.) My friends, too, were astonished at our plan. What would happen if someone got seriouslyill overnight and needed to go to hospital? (an ambulance) How would the children get to andfrom their many events? (buses and trains) People smiled as though this was another of mymad ideas, before saying they were sure I’d soon realize that a car was a necessity. Eight months on, I wonder whether we’ll ever own a car again. The idea that you “have to”own a car, especially if you live in a city, is all in the mind. I live—and many other citizens dotoo—in a place that has never been better served by public transport, and yet car ownershiphas never been higher. We worry about rising car costs, but we’d be better off askingsomething much more basic: do I really need a car? Certainly the answer is no, and I’m a lotricher because I dared to ask the question.【1】The author decided to live a car-free life partly because ______.A. most families chose to go car-free B. the cost of a new car was too muchC. he was hurt in a terrible car accident D. the traffic jam was unbearable for him【2】What is the attitude of the author’s family toward his plan?A. Disapproving. B. Supportive. C. Optimistic. D. Unconcerned.【3】What did the author suggest his daughters do about their friends’ opinion?A. Argue against it. B. Take their advice. C. Leave it alone. D. Think it over.【4】What conclusion did the author draw after the eight-month car-free life?A. Life cannot go without a car. B. Life without a car is a little bit hard.C. His life gets improved without a car. D. A car-free life does not suit everyone. 5. One of my neighbors used to have a beautiful tree in her front yard. Her dad had planted it forher when it was nothing more than a twig(树枝) and several years later it started to shoot towardsthe sky with amazing speed. Soon it blessed her with cooling shade in the summer and glorious,golden leaves in the fall.When the two-day snowstorm struck our town, heavy snow fell on the tree’s branches thatwere still full of leaves. The weight split that lovely tree down the middle. It was so sad seeinghalf of it laying on the ground after the storm. When I talked to my neighbor later, she saidthat the damage had been too much and that the entire tree would have to be cut down.Thankfully she had saved a few saplings(树苗) from it that she hoped to replant in the future.Still, it was a shock to drive by her house the other day and see nothing but a stump in herfront yard. I missed that tree. I missed its beauty, its leaves shinning in the afternoon sun. Imissed seeing its limbs reach towards the heavens. I thought that the stump would be a sadreminder of its loss for a long time to come. My wonderful neighbor, though, had anotherplan. When I drove by her home today I saw a tiny bird feeder sitting on that stump and acolorful songbird having its dinner. It was such an affirmation of life. It was such a joy to see.I could feel my heart smile.Life by its very nature is a mixed bag. It hands us beauty and tragedy, love and loss, pleasureand pain. What we do with it, however, is up to us. We can let it split us in two, or we can useeven its hardest times to make our souls stronger and our hearts more loving. We can spend itcomplaining or we can use it to help others.【1】We know from the first paragraph that _____.A. the tree grew very slowly.B. the tree was so strong that it could bear any weight.C. the tree showed its beauty and benefits.D. the author’s neighbor was good at planting trees.【2】The author’s neighbor left a stump in her front yard to use it as_____.A. a good reminder. B. a place to feed birds.C. a seat after dinner. D. a beautiful sculpture.【3】What does the author mainly want to show in the passage?A. Life is determined by our attitude towards it.B. Life consists of pain and suffering.C. Life has beauty and tragedy.D. Life should be pleasant rather than painful.
Imagine a hardcore video game fanatic, and the picture you summon probably won't resemble Roman Rivera.He grew up captivated by games from "Pokemon" to "Call of Duty," and evaded his mom's screen time limits by covertly playing his Game Boy after lights out. Now that he's 21, he spends up to four hours a day battling enemies in the virtual arena of "Dota 2."Yet he was an honor student and a member of the debate team at Downers Grove North High School, and today he's studying economics at the University of Chicago. These accomplishments didn't come in spite of gaming, Rivera said; in a way, gaming helped to make them possible."You pick up skills from whatever you do, and you can decide to aim those skills in an intellectual direction," he said, crediting video games with broadening his interests and improving his mental dexterity. "They definitely enhanced the abilities I needed in life that weren't always directly present. Without a doubt they have benefited me."Rivera's belief echoes a new wave of research that has found surprising advantages in an activity many dismiss as a waste of time, if not an outright menace. Social scientists have recently linked gaming with enhanced mental skills, moral sensitivity and even physical fitness, creating a new image of this ubiquitous but controversial pastime."We're working really hard on understanding what aspects of gaming could be leveraged for the betterment of society," said Daphne Bavelier, a cognitive neuroscientist who researches video games at the University of Geneva in Switzerland and the University of Rochester in New York. "Everyone understands it's here to stay. It's not going to disappear. You could try to ban it, but it seems to have really interesting positive effects."'Techno-panic' endingResearchers have done thousands of studies on gaming since the 1980s, often with unmistakably negative results. Some associated video games with an increased risk of epileptic seizures, while others cautioned that the games could provoke dangerously elevated heart rates. Many studies also linked violent games to aggression and anti-social behavior.Such findings contributed to the anxiety surrounding video games, said Christopher Ferguson, a psychology professor at Florida's Stetson University. He cited the outcry over violent games that came when Newtown gunman Adam Lanza was portrayed as a shooting game obsessive (investigators ultimately found that Lanza's primary gaming fixation was "Dance Dance Revolution").Ferguson said early research into any new technology is often flawed. Studies that aim to find negative effects get funded and promoted, while those with more benign findings are unpublished and forgotten, he said.When a new generation of scholars more familiar with the technology comes along, different results often appear - and that's what is happening with gaming, he said."We're just not seeing the kind of data emerge that would support the techno-panic that was common in earlier years," he said.Ferguson has done dozens of studies on the subject and has consistently found that violent video games do not contribute to societal aggression. One recent project actually concluded that some children who play violent games are less likely than others to act like bullies."My speculation is that maybe kids turn to video games cathartically …or it could just be that they're busy, so they don't have time to bully other kids," he said.Another counterintuitive take on video game violence came from University of Buffalo communications professor Matthew Grizzard, who had research subjects play a first-person shooter game as either a United Nations soldier or a terrorist.He found that those who took the role of bad guy often felt guilt over the virtual bloodshed they committed and exhibited greater moral sensitivity than those who played as soldiers."Video games are these important moral sandboxes," he said. "They allow us to practice moral decision-making we can't do in the real world. Games can be this really important tool for teaching people what the right decisions might be. Maybe one way to do that is showing what the consequences of wrong decisions would be."Gamers more fit?Gaming has long been identified as a factor in worsening child obesity, but research that scholar Chennan Liu performed at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign suggests the pastime might have gotten a bad rap. Youth survey data she examined found that those who play video games for an average of three to six hours a day were healthier than those who played less.Liu, now a professor of social work at Renmin University of China, said the unexpected result calls for further study. But she guessed that gaming might burn more calories than watching TV, or that kids gripping a controller are less inclined to pick up a snack or a soda.That theory made sense to Dan Wojtowicz, 18, a student at Andrew High School in Tinley Park, who spends up to seven hours a day on "Starcraft II," "League of Legends" and other games."When I go on long gaming streaks, many times I don't feel the need to eat as much, even though it takes a lot of my energy," he said. "I can go without eating for three to four hours."The most intriguing studies might be coming from neuroscientists, who are using MRIs and other high-tech devices to learn how gaming affects the brain. Simone Kuhn, a researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development in Berlin, has found that the prefrontal cortex actually grows thicker and gray matter more voluminousin people who play games as humble as "Super Mario 64," changes that could improve memory and navigational ability.Bavelier has focused on cognitive performance, finding that first-person shooters - one of the most reviled categories of video games - can help improve a person's vision and ability to pay attention.How that might translate into real-world benefits is still unclear, but Bavelier noted that young gamers have been shown to make superior laparoscopic surgeons, performing faster and making fewer errors than more experienced peers."One thing about this work, you need to leave at the door what you think this technology is doing and study it in earnest," she said. "It's not the case that we can get a sense of its impact intuitively."Doubters remainNot everyone is sold on the positive findings coming from recent gaming research. Joseph Bisoglio, who has studied the subject at Columbia University Medical Center in New York, said "the hype has outpaced the data."One big problem, he said, is that studies generally don't compare gaming with other activities that stimulate the brain, such as learning to speak another language or practicing a musical instrument. So while gaming might improve cognitive performance in some ways, he said, other activities could produce even more profound effects."I'm just generally cautious, especially when something can very easily bemarketed," he said. "Video games already make a lot of money, and to say they're therapeutic before the evidence is there, that really concerns me."Doug Bakshis was dubious of the value of video games when his son Noah began to shut himself in his room to play the likes of "Minecraft" and "Fallout: New Vegas" for hours at a time. But then Noah, who has Asperger's syndrome, started to show a more open personality."The games have had a very calming effect on him," Bakshis said. "In the gaming world, he's in control of the environment, where he's not in the real world. He's gotten much more focused, and when things have happened in the real world, he's been more able to deal with it."Noah Bakshis, now a 15-year-old freshman at Downers Grove North, said gaming has expanded his interests, prompting him to study archery and Japanese culture after first encountering the topics virtually. His attention, focus and coordination have also improved, he said, as has his self-awareness."(Games) helped me discover what my inner ethics are, what choices I would make in particular situations," he said. "What I've found is I generally try to resolve things peacefully. …You can grow emotional attachment to the characters, and that's not a bad thing. It proves they can give humanization to a bunch of polygons."32.According to paragraph 5, what was gaming previously thought of ? ____ A. It could be beneficial to people's mental and physical health.B. Not mentionedC. It was just a pastime similar to other entertainments.D. It could waste a lot of time.33.

The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in an international arena as have their foreign counterparts. Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation. In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and impersonal. It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The American negotiator’s role becomes that of an impersonal supplier of information and cash. In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator’s position. Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term goals. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits. In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator. Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiations and the success of negotiators. For Americans to play a more effective role in international business negotiations, they must put forth more effort to improve cross-cultural understanding. [共5题](1)What kind of manager is needed in present international business and foreign investment? [本题2分]A. The man who represents a large multi-million-dollar corporation. B. The man with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. C. The man who is wealthy and impersonal. D. The man who can negotiate with his foreign counterparts.

question or statement.Hot pot is a traditional dish in China. It is believed to date back more than 1,000 years to the time of the Jin Dynasty. Hot pot's origins can be found in the dining practices of Mongolian horsemen who rode across the steppe and into northern China. Legend has it that the Mongols used their helmets as pots to simmer (炖) broth (汤底) over open fires, and cooked chunks of meat in the broth.Hot pot cooking seems to have spread to northern China during the Tang Dynasty. In the regional variations developed with different ingredients such as seafood. In the centuries that witnessed the growth of the Song Dynasty, hot pot moved — and changed — further south, with each successive region adapting it to their local ingredients and tastes.The ingredients in a hot pot vary a lot from region to region. Perhaps the most famous hot pot is the Chongqing or Sichuan hot pot. It features a dark red broth chock-full (塞满了的) of spices, chili peppers, and the uniquely mouth-numbing Sichuan peppers. In Beijing and elsewhere in the north, hot pot broth tends to be mild and, compared to its racy southern "cousins", a little light. In the northeast of China, a kind of local sauerkraut (酸菜) is used to add some tang (强烈的味道), making the broth a bit sour. People can choose a version of hot pot according to their taste.1 Hot pot is believed to date back more than 1,000 years to the time of _______.A. the Jin Dynasty B. the Tang DynastyC. the Song Dynasty D. the Yuan Dynasty
The Harry Potter series, written by J.K. Rowling, is perhaps the most popular set of novels of the modern era. With seven books and many successful films to its name, the series has gathered about 15 billion dollars in sales. How did the series become so popular? The reason can be broken down into several areas.The first book in the series was rejected 12 times before it was picked up by Bloomsbury—a small publisher in England. So receiving this contract was Rowling's first step to success. However, getting a book contract does not ensure the success of a book. The story was soon loved by children and adults alike. In light of this, Bloomsbury Publishing published a second version of the books with “adult” (less colorful and more boring) book covers. This made it easier for a full range of ages to enjoy the series.Another factor that worked like a charm was that the publisher and Rowling herself, through the books, conducted midnight releases, promotions, and pre-ordering more readers. Customers who feared that their local bookstore would run out of copies responded by pre-ordering over 700,000 copies before the July 8, 2000 release.What does the underlined word “releases” (Para. 3) mean?A. The activity that frees or expresses energy or emotion.B. The announcement about the book’s publishing information.C. The sales of books that is available only at midnight.
