16.Will it matter if you don't take your breakfast?Recently a test was given in the United States.Those tested included people of different ages,from 12 to 83.During the experiment,these people were given all kinds of breakfasts,and sometimes they got no breakfast at all.Special tests were set up to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten a certain kind of breakfast.The results showed that if a person eats a proper breakfast,he or she will work with better effect than if he or she has no breakfast.This fact appears to be especially true if a person works with his brains.If a student eats fruit,eggs,bread and milk before going to school,he will learn more quickly and listen with more attention in class.Contrary to what many people believe,if you don't eat breakfast,you will not lose weight.This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch,and end up gaining some weight instead of losing some.You will probably lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.
21.During the test,those who were tested were givenD.
A.no breakfast at all              
B.a very rich breakfast
C.little food for breakfast        
D.different breakfasts or none
22. The results of the test showed thatA.
A.breakfast has a great effect on work and study
B.breakfast has little to do with a person's work
C.a person w ill work better if he has a simple breakfast
D.those working with brains should have a lot for breakfast
23. The passage infers that many people believe that if you don't eat breakfast,you willA.
A.lose weight              
B.not lose or gain weight
C.be healthier              
D.gain a lot of weight
24. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?C
A.Poor breakfasts affect those who work with their brains.
B.Having no breakfast may cause one to get fatter.
C.Having a big lunch and supper is of great value in weight-losing.
D.Eating less for lunch and supper may help to lose weight.

1."Mum,what does it mean when someone tells you that they have a skeleton(骨骼)in the closet(衣橱)?"Jessica asked."A skeleton in the closet?"her mother paused thoughtfully."Well,it's something that you would rather not have anyone else know about.For example,if in the past,someone in Dad's family had been arrested for stealing a horse,it would be a skeleton in his family's closet.He really wouldn't want any neighbor to know about it."Why pick on my family?"Jessica's father said with anger."Your family history isn't so good,you know.Wasn't your great-great-grandfather a prisoner who was transported to Australia for his crimes?""Yes,but people these days say that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners.""Gosh,sorry I asked.I think I understand now,"Jessica cut in before things grew worse.
    After dinner,the house was very quiet.Jessica's parents were still quite angry with each other.Her mother was ironing clothes and every now and then she glared at her husband,who hid behind his newspaper pretending to read.When she finished,she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to Jessica's closet.Just as she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt,a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a bundle of white bones fell to the floor.Jessica's mother sank in a faint (晕倒),waking only when Jessica put a cold,wet cloth on her forehead.She looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter.
"What happened?Where am I?"she asked."You just destroyed the school's skeleton,Mum,"explained Jessica."I brought it home to help me with my health project.I meant to tell you.but it seemed that as soon as I mentioned skeletons and closets,it caused a problem between you and Dad."Jessica looked in amazement as her parents began to laugh madly."They're both crazy,"she thought.

4.See a cellphone cover that you like on Taobao?Forget about placing an order,paying the bill online and waiting for days for it to be delivered to you.In the near future,you'll be able to get it in minutes just by hitting"print"on your computer.
   You might find it hard to believe that you could actually"print"an object like you would a picture.But it is not that hard to understand how it would work.Just as a traditional printer sprays (喷) ink onto paper line by line,modern 3D printers spread material onto a surface layer by layer,from the bottom to the top,gradually building up a shape.
   Instead of ink,the materials the 3D printer uses are mainly plastic,resin(树脂) and certain metals.The thinner each layer is-from a millimetre to less than the width of a hair-the smoother and finer the object will be.
   This may sound like a completely new technology,but the truth is that 3D printing has been around since the late 1980s.Back then,it was barely affordable for most people,so few knew about it.
    Last year,though,saw a big change in the 3D printing industry-printers became much cheaper.For example,10 years ago a desktop 3D printer might have cost£20,000,while now they cost only about£1,000,accordin g to the BBC.
    Taken out of the factory and introduced to more diverse and common uses,3D printing can create just about anything you can think of-flutes (笛子),bikinis,jewelry,aircraft parts and even human organs.In fact,scientists from Cornell University in New York have just made an artificial ear using a 3D printer,according to Science Daily.The fake ear looks and acts exactly like a natural one.
    However,as 3D printing becomes more common,it may bring about certain problems-such as piracy."Once you can download a coffee maker,or print out a new set of kitchen utensils (餐具) on your personal 3D printer,who will visit a retail (零售的) store again?"an expert in 3D printing told Forbes News.Even more frightening,what if anyone in the world could use a 3D printer to print out a fully functioning gun?
32.According to the article,in the future,the 3D printing technology willB.
A.enable people to make better purchases online
B.change the way we make many products
C.be applied as widely in our daily life as computers
D.shorten the time it takes for people to get what they buy online
33.What happened in the 3D printing industry last year?D
A.The 3D printing technology was taken out of the factory.
B.The 3D printing technology began to be used in various fields.
C.The 3D printer was used for medical treatment for the first time.
D.The 3D printer became more afforda ble for consumers.
34.How is the last paragraph developed?A
A.By giving examples.
B.By making comparisons.
C.By analyzing the cause and effect.
D.By presenting research findings.
35.What is the best title of the passage?D
A.Great Demand for 3D Printers           
B.Technology in the Future
C.Online Shopping Disappearing           
D.Printing out Everything.

    It has been almost eight weeks since my dad left Earth and everything seems to be back to normal.My dad calls me at least once a week.I am also able to have a video conference with him about once a month.We had our second video conference yesterday.Dad asked me to respond to his e-mails.I am not very good at that,so I hardly do that.He gave me a tour of parts of the Space Station and I was able to meet a few of the other astronauts on board.I do miss him and the video conferences make it a lot easier.
      June 21,2015
I am on the summer break from school right now.But before school ended,my dad set up a video conference with my class.All the kids enjoyed seeing him and asking him questions about space.I don't care how many times I see it.I still have to laugh when I see him flip around in zero gravity and eat floating M&M's.
Two nights ago,my mom and I went to a beach party with my classmate Joe and his family.Just around 9:10 pm,we looked at the night sky and saw the International Space Station(ISS) fly over.It looked like a bright star just moving across the sky.For those four minutes we were all watching.I couldn't help but miss my dad.
    Today is Father's Day.My sister and I did a video conference with our dad at the same time.She was in Houston,I was in Virginia Beach and my dad was flying over us.He put his video monitor in his window and took a picture of us with Virginia Beach in the backgro und.

8.What did you eat for lunch today?Did you choose this dish because it was healthy,cheap or because it was just very tasty?Are you a particular eater or an adventurous diner?
I love exploring trends in food.‘Fusion(融合) cuisine'is not for everybody.My Italian grandmother would turn her nose up in disgust at the thought of tandoori pizza with mango topping but this marriage of tastes is perfectly fine in the 21st century.Chef and food writer Ching-He Huang,who presented a series of Chinese Food for the BBC,is a fan of the movement.She says:"Fusion has been happening for centuries,for as long as people have travelled,but with the Internet,and global travel,the exchange of ideas makes the process much faster."
Wolfgang Puck is seen by many as one of the chefs who made‘fusion'elegant.He got his experience in this aspect in his native Vienna and made a name for himself when he opened his own restaurant in Los Angeles in the 1970s.This European dug into Asian cuisine and became one of the first in a long line of distinguished chefs.He said in an interview with the Wall Street Journal that initially he got negative responses from traditional American-Chinese restaurant owners but he is not bitter."I believe authenticity is about evolution,not repeating your grandmoter's recipe."he explains."Cooking is like painting or writing a song.Just as there are only so many notes or colours.there are only so many flavours-it's how you combine them that sets you apart."
My granny's cup of tea would be the Slow Food Movement.Founded by her countryman Carlo Petrini in the 1980s and still going strong,it seeks to preserve regional cuisine and the use of ingredients that are grown locally.Petrini wants to see farmers connected more directly with consumers.
All these trends give us food for thought.We might be wasting an exciting opportunity to wake up our taste buds when we swallow a sandwich at our desks.Tomorrow,why not find an exotic restaurant and enjoy a feast?You dress trendy so eat trendy!
28.Fusion cuisine isD.
A.a BBC cooking programme      
B.a balanced diet rich in nutrition
C.a new trend of global travelling   
D.a combination of different cooking styles
29.What do we learn about Wolfgang Puck?D
A.He knew little about Asian cuisine. 
B.He owed his success to his love for painting.
C.He was well received by Europeans.
D.He was in favor of creation in cooking.
30.The Slow Food MovementA.
A.aims to keep alive local cuisine    
B.is favoured by old people
C.promotes local farming    
D.is founded by Granny
31.What can be a suitable title for the text?A
A.Hungry for new

D.Food for thought.
5.Culture can affect not just language and customs,but also how people experience the world on surprisingly basic levels.
Researchers,with the help of brain scans,have uncovered shocking differences in perception (感知) between Westerners and Asians,what they see when they look at a city street,for example,or even how they perceive a simple line in a square,according to findings published in a leading science journal.
In western countries,culture makes people think of themselves as highly independent entities (实体).When looking at scenes,Westerners tend to focus more on central objects than on their surroundings.East Asian cultures,however,emphasize inter-dependence.When Easterners look at a scene,they tend to focus on surroundings as well as the object.
Using an experiment involving two tasks,Dr Hedden asked subjects to look at a line simply to estimate its length,a task that is played to American strengths.In another,they estimated the line's length relative to the size of a square,an easier task for the Asians.
The level of brain activity,by tracking blood flow,was then measured by Brain Scanners.The experiment found that although there was no difference in performance,and the tasks were very easy,the levels of activity in the subjects'brains were different.For the Americans,areas linked to attention lit up more,when they worked on the task they tended to find more difficult--estimating the line's size relative to the square.For the Asians,the attention areas lit up more during the harder task also--estimating the line's length without comparing it to the square.The findings are a reflection of more than ten years of previous experimental research into east-west differences.
In one study,for instance,researchers offered people a choice among five pens; four red and one green.Easterners were more likely to choose a red pen while Westerners were more likely to choose the green one.
Culture is not affecting how you see the world,but how you choose to understand and internalize (使内化) it.But such habits can be changed.Some psychological studies suggest that when an Easterner goes to the West or vice versa,habits of thought and perception also begin to change.Such research gives us clues on how our brain works and is hopeful for us to develop programs to improve our memory,memory techniques and enhance and accelerate our learning skills.

63.According to the passage,Chinese people are most likely toC.
A.more emphasize independent thinking
B.always focus more on their surroundings
C.focus more on the context as well as the object
D.think of Westerners as highly independent entities
64.We know from the passage that people's brains will be more active whenD.
A.the task is much easier
B.the blood flow is tracked
C.people begin to choose colors
D.the task is more difficult
65.What do the findings of the experiments mentioned in the passage indicate?B
A.They indicate that culture has a great impact on the way people talk and behave.
B.They show that Easterners and Westerners have great differences in perceiving the world.
C.They suggest that people's habits of thought and perception can be changed in different cultures.
D.They make it clear that Easterners and Westerners lay emphasis on different things.
66.It can be inferred from the passage thatA.
A.Easterners prefer collectivism to individualism
B.East Asian cultures lay more emphasis on independence
C.It took over ten years to find out how to improve our brainpower
D.Americans will change their habits of perception when they're in Britain.
8.Although many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good,most would admit that their spoken English is poor.Whenever I speak to a Chinese student,they always say,"My spoken English is poor."(36)DI would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.
First,they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary.(37)CHowever,you can speak with a limited vocabulary,if you choose a positive attitude.Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know.
(38)ASometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous.Yet students should remember that their goal should be FLUENCY NOT ACCURACY.Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using them to get your message across.But to talk to someone in English,as quickly and well as you can,even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense,but it doesn't matter.(39)FThe third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening.You have one mouth but two ears!All the hearing is necessary for you to start speaking.
Fourth,most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive(主动的) language learners.Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor.(40)G

A.Second,they are afraid of making mistakes.
B.They may try to avoid making similar mistakes next time.
C.Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary.
D.However,their spoken English does not have to remain"poor"!
E.The second reason lies in the reluctance of using what has just been learned.
F.The person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears.
G.If you have this proactive outlook,then you will see English opportunities wherever you go.
