分，

阅读下列短文，
从每题所给的
A
、

C
和
D
四个选项中，
选出最佳选项。
A
It is quite
natural for all of us to want to preserve and
protect the foods we purchase. With that in
mind, weoften think that the best way
to do that is by putting them in our
refrigerators. However,
that is not
always the case.
Bread
Nothing
dries
out
bread
faster
than
your
refrigerator.
In
the
event
that
you
have
made
sandwiches
with
the
bread,then
you
can
place
them
in
the
fridge.
The
cold
temperature
will
make the bread tough and
chewy.
Tomato
We all love tomatoes for
their taste. But putting them in the refrigerator
will cause them to lose
all of their
flavor (
口味
).
Plus
，
the cold
air in the cooler stops the ripening process as
well. And
as we all know, ripening is
what
gives every tomato more
taste and flavor. For best results, keep tomatoes
out, and inside a basket
or a bowl on
your
counter.
Salad
Oil or vinegar based salad can be
stored for a long period of time without
refrigeration. Moreover,
refrigeration
of salad dressings brings bad smell to them. Keep
in mind that some salads that are
mayo
(
蛋黄酱
) or yogurt
based
should
be
refrigerated
in
order
to
keep
them
fine.
So
if
you
have
some
salads
that
have
been
already
dressed, you can
keep them
away from your fridge without any
hesitation.
Egg
It
is
a
long
debate
whether
you
should
keep
eggs
inside
your
refrigerator
or
not.
One
study
suggests
that
keeping
eggs
whether
in
a
refrigerator
or
not
does
not
change
their
normal
qualities, so it can
be said that if you keep
eggs at room
temperature
，
there should not be any problem. There
is another study that shows
that
keeping eggs
inside the
refrigerators has a bad effect on the natural
taste and flavor of eggs, so it is wise to
keep eggs outside of
your fridge.
21.
Which of the following lose (s) water quickest in
the cooler?
A.
Bread.
B.
Tomatoes.
C.
Salad.
D. Eggs.
22. What should we do with tomatoes to
get the best taste?
A. Put
them in the cooler.
B. Cook
them at once.
C. Make them
ripen faster.
D. Leave them
in the shade.
23. What will
go bad easily without refrigeration?
A. Dressed salad.
B. Mayo and yogurt.
C. Oil and vinegar.
D. Salad dressings.
24. What do we know about the idea of
keeping eggs in the fridge?
A. It’s interesting.
B. It’s brilliant.
C. It’s ridiculous.
D. It’s controversial.
B
Gertrude was
just an average kid with an average life. She
lived in an average sized house in an
average neighborhood. At home, she
helped out just enough to get by. At school, she
did just
enough homework to stay
out
of trouble. She had
straight Cs in all of her classes.
One day Gertrude’s teacher, Mr. Mister,
stopped her after class. “Gertrude,” he said, “ I
know
that you can do better. I’ve seen
the work you do in class, and some of it is
amazing… Way better
than C work.”
Gertrude knew that
there were moments when she tried a
little harder than what everyone expected. But she
just
didn’t have confidence
in herself. She didn’t really believe
that she could change
；
in fact, she was scared by the thought
of having the
power
to
become
whatever
she
wanted.
She
stopped
listening
to
Mr.
Mister
about
half
way
through his speech and
just nodded her head until he
stopped.
That night,
Gertrude had a dream. It was ten years into the
future and she was still living
with
her mom in her average neighborhood. A voice spoke
in the dream: “The present is nothing
more than the outcome of the choices
made in the
past. The future will be the results of the
choices we make today. ” Gertrude started
crying average sized
tears
，
because she knew that she helped shape
the world in which she lived, and the choices
she made produced the
options she had. She woke up with her
pillow wet.
Gertrude was
relieved to
be
back
in
middle
school.
She
took
a
little
more
care
in
getting
herself ready that morning, and she
felt better than normal. She tried harder in
school, and she
felt smarter than
usual. She helped more
around
the
house,
and
it
looked
better.
Sure,
there
were
still
lots
of
things
that
Gertrude
struggled with, but just
trying her best made her feel better
when she didn’t succeed. Gertrude even became
great at
failing by learning
from
her
mistakes.
25. Which of
the following words can best describe Gertrude in
Paragraph 1 ?
A.
Popular
B.
Optimistic.
C.
Ordinary.
D.
Modest.
26. Where did
Gertrude’s problem actually lie?
A. In herself.
B.
In her family.
C. In her
teacher.
D. In her
studies.
27. What can we say
for sure about Gertrude from the last
paragraph?
A. She suffered
more.
B. She failed in her
attempts.
C. She changed
fundamentally.
D. She was
glad about failures.
C
With
the
explosion
of
consumer
choices
in
recent
history,
the
latest
must
-
haves would
surely
need
to
be
upgraded
more
often
than
every
10
years.
In
2002
a
computer
and
basic
mobile
phone would have been enough
for
most people, but now?
The public need a trendy notebook computer and a
smart phone with
WiFi connection to
feel
they are up
-
to
-
date. So when
will we have enough things? When will we finally
be happy? Well, it
looks like
the
things we buy today will
barely keep us satisfied for a few
months.
In
the
eyes
of
some
psychologists,
far
from
making
us
happy,
greater
consumer
choice
creates many serious psychological
problems. A fundamental principle of the society
is that more
freedom is better and more
choice in the
marketplace means more freedom.
Therefore more choice leads to more happiness.
This is not
the case,
however.
Imagine you go
to a café offering chocolate and vanilla ice
cream. You choose the chocolate
and eat
it happily.
But what if the
café serves 50 kinds of ice cream? You choose
chocolate and then start to worry,
“maybe
blueberry
would
have
been
better,
perhaps
the
half
-
fat
ice
cream
would
have
been
healthier. Stupid me, all these choices
and I
didn’t make the best
one!”
In
China’s
major
cities
we
have
now
passed
the
point
where
more
consumer
choice
is
making
us
happier.
We
are
annoyed
by
all
the
options
we
have,
disappointed
because
our
expectations are so high and angered at
ourselves
when
we don’t make a perfect choice every
time.
A
newspaper
reporter
tells
a
story
about
traveling
on
a
plane
with
high
-
speed
Internet
access. He thought this was amazing —
the newest piece of technology he had heard of.
Then the
service went down. The man
next to
him was
angry and swore. The reporter thought, “How
quickly the world owes him something he
knew existed only
10 seconds ago!”
28.
What is the text mainly talking about?
A. Hi
-
tech and
consumer needs.
B. Computers
and smart phones.
C.
Wireless products and WiFi connection.
D. Diverse choices and consumer
satisfaction.
29. What may
some psychologists think of the consumer demand in
the café?
A. Variety leads
to unhappiness.
B. More
choice means more freedom.
C. The consumer has mental
problems.
D. The shop
provides too many choices.
30. Why was the man next to the
reporter quite annoyed?
A.
Someone owed him money.
B.
The net connection was interrupted.
C. The air hostess offered poor
service.
D. The pleasure
lasted only 10 seconds.
31.
What does the underlined word “swore” in the last
paragraph probably mean?
A.
Fell asleep.
B. Made
promises.
C. Said rude
words.
D. Became
amazed.
D
Dolphin
(
海豚
)
or
not
a
dolphin?
That
is
the
question!
You
see,
there
are
several
types
of
dolphins. Some are saltwater dolphins
while others are river dolphins.
“What
are
the
32
types
of
dolphins?”
When
people
are
asking
the
question,
they
are
actually
referring to the saltwater dolphins in oceans and
seas. The river dolphins living in fresh
water are not included in these species
(
物
种
). But what would be the
answer in this case if we ask, “Dolphin or not a
dolphin?” The answer
would
obviously
be yes. River
dolphins still belong to the dolphin
family.
Among
the
32
types
of
dolphins,
some
do
not
actually
wear
the
word
“dolphin”
in
their
