10.In a special center in Florida,a capuchin monkey (卷尾猴) is born.It is named Winston,and it will be trained to be a Helping Hands monkey.Helping Hands is a program that trains monkeys to be helpers for quadriplegics (四肢瘫痪者).
Winston's preparation begins soon after its birth when it is placed with a foster (代养的) family.The foster family spends a lot of time hugging Winston.This close human contact (接触) is important to help it develop a strong attachment to people.
Winston already has a lot of characteristics that will be useful to quadriplegics.Like humans,Winston has hands and it can pick up something as mall as a piece of thread.It has a tail that it can use to carry objects,hold on to things,and keep its balance.Monkeys such as Winston are also intelligent and they learn the same way human babies do.Being reared in a human environment will make Winston a better pupil when its real training begins.
When Winston is four years old,the foster family must return it to the training center.At the center,Winston has a patient trainer named Lisa.First she teaches Winston to fetch.She always uses the same combination of words when she wants it to perform a particular task.Each time it obeys her command,Lisa gives it a grape.Winston learns that it will get a reward if it exhibits the correct response.
After six months Winston can put a videotape into the VCR.It can go to the refrigerator,get its owner a drink,and pick up anything that is dropped.It is ready to work in the home of a quadriplegic.

7.Evidence of violent storms that destroyed a lost town known as Britain's Atlantis has been uncovered.The finds were uncovered off the coast of Dunwich,Suffolk-a small village which in the 11th Century was one of the largest towns in England.
The town was hit by a series of storms in the 13th and 14th centuries and is now largely below the sea.
Researchers said sediment(沉积物) gathered from the cliffs independently proved the historical record.
"They were like the  south coast storms of 2013,at least once a year for decades,"Professor David Sear,of the University of Southampton said.
The three-year research off Dunwich has been funded by Touching the Tide,a£900,000Heritage Lottery Fund plan to explore the changing Suffolk coast.
A diver used ultrasound(超声波) to  "illuminate"findings on the seabed,and the marshes(沼泽) and eroding cliffs were surveyed.
"It offers a marvelous history of climate change and coastal erosion,"said Prof Sear with regards to the findings.
In the 11th Century,Dunwich was the 10th largest town in England,but now has about 120residents.
Two great storms in 1286and 1326resulted in the loss of its harbour and started its decline.Prof Sear said analysis showed how"people gave up on Dunwich"after 1338,when another great storm choked up the port for good,and food production declined.Sediment gathered from the cliffs,he said,"independently confirmed the sequences of storms recorded in the historical record".
The underwater research has been carried out using acoustic(声学的) imaging technology,and has unearthed a series of buildings.We found the ruins of about four churches and we've also found ruins of what we think was a toll house.We've also found shipwrecks(沉船),which no-one's known before.
A dig in  2015 discovered evidence of Dunwich's prehist origins,as well as evidence it was"a substantial Saxon port,prior to its rapid growth following the Norman invasion".
Bill Jenman,from Touching the Tide,said:"We found loads of pottery,a lot more than we've found before,so sort of High Medieval-the peak of the wealth of Dunwich.We know it was a fairly major town in the Anglo-Saxon period."
32.Evidence shows that Dunwich declined in history due toD.
A.the rise of sea level     
B.sediment from the cliffs
C.the Norman invasion    
D.a series of storms
33.What can be learned from the text about Dunwich's present condition?B
A.It is completely below the sea
B.It still exists with about 120residents.
C.It is still hit by storms every year.
D.It is still an important port in England
34.With the help of modern equipment,the researchers have found all the following things underwater EXCEPTD.
A.shipwrecks unknown before
B.ruins of churches and other buildings
C.the seabed that was like a busy harbour
D.lots of pottery dating back to the Anglo-Saxon period
35.From the discoveries,we can conclude thatC.
A.Dunwich was thoroughly ruined by the Norman invaders
B.no one believed those ships could have sink at Dunwich
C.Dunwich was a prosperous town before its decline
D.no historical records about Dunwich were kept after 1338.

The next time you go grocery shopping, try speaking to other customers. One summer day, I took a smile and a warm heart into a small store in Oregon and got far more than groceries.

I love fresh produce(农产品) in the store, and not just for the amazing colors provided by summer's bounty (慷慨) or the chance to joy over new choices from other countries. It's also because I just love watching people pick their produce.

The day I was there I found a sale on amazing cherry tomatoes—along with a woman in her late 70s. Despite the fact that we were strangers, we began to discuss apples. She noted a problem with the Pink Ladies. "They tasted like I was eating an unripe green apple from the tree," she said, twisting her face as if still tasting the sour apple.

I wondered if this is something most of my generation can even remember doing. I surely do. I mentioned that I often could not resist the green yet tempting fruit swinging from an apple tree. This was the start for a series of discussions as we shopped-covering such topics as nutrition, new foods and the quality of produce.

By this time a third woman had joined in our conversation. The three of us continued along, unexpected friends, chatting about family size and the troubles a mom might have serving healthful foods that please the whole family.

Eventually we all went our separate ways, but in the dairy(奶制品) section I heard a small voice say, "I finally caught up with you." It was the first woman I'd talked to, extending a bag of apricots(杏) to me. "I don't know if your family will eat these," she added, "but they have a super deal on them."

Again I was brought back to my childhood, when I also ate apricots straight from the tree. My mouth watered at the remembered flavor.

The old lady didn't realize that she'd given me far more than produce. With that offering came a sense of community, a flashback to days when it was OK to talk to a stranger. She brought back memories of summer fruits right from the tree—and a feeling that somehow those apricots were a thank-you for sharing my time with her in a very unlikely place.

17.Frozen fruit and vegetables can be healthier,with higher levels of vitamins and cancer fighting antioxidants (抗氧化剂),that leafy"fresh"produce.Two independent studies found more beneficial nutrients in everything from frozen broccoli florets to carrots.In two out of three cases frozen fruit and vegetables scored better on antioxidant-type compounds(化合物).Consumption of these antioxidant compounds is considered beneficial in preventing cancer and supporting the wording of the body,brain,skin and eyes.
Produce bought from the supermarket greengrocer sections is full of color,while many stores even use fine mist sprays (喷剂)to give a just picked look.This supermarket theatre convinces shoppers to pay an extra payment for food that they believe is good for their family's health as well as being tasty.However,the reality is that these vegetables and fruit may well have been held in storage for a month,while they then sit in the fridge at home for days before being eaten.
Over the days,they gradually  deteriorate,slowly losing some of the nutrients associated with leafy greens and fruit.By contrast,frozen vegetables and fruit are chilled(冷藏)soon after harvest and so keep higher levels of vitamins and antioxidants until they are eaten.
Two teams,one from Leatherhead Food Research and the other from the University of Chester,carried out 40tests to measure nutrient levels in produce which had been sitting in a fridge for three days and the frozen equivalent (相等物).The findings show that eating newly picked produce is the healthiest option; however,frozen food can be almost as good and is often better than items sold as"fresh".Leatherhead's Dr Rachel Burch said:"We must ignore the mistaken opinion that fresh food is always better for us than frozen food."
These results show that frozen food can be nutritionally comparable to fresh produce.Direct comparison:In two out of three cases frozen fruit and vegetable scored better on antioxidant-type compounds including Vitamin C,polyphenols and anthocyanins (多酚和花青素),a study found.Her team found frozen broccoli had higher levels of Vitamin C.However,fresh food scored better on polyphenols,which are thought to help prevent cancer.
32.What does the passage mainly tell us?D
A.Fresh food is better than frozen food
B.Frozen food might cause cancer.
C.Frozen food is as good as fresh food
D.Frozen food is better than"fresh"food.
33.Why do some supermarkets spray fine mist on fruit and vegetables?C
A.To keep them in good quality
B.To make them taste good.
C.To make them look fresh
D.To make them sell cheaply.
34.What does the underlined word"deteriorate"in Paragraph 3mean?A
A.Grow worse
B.Grow better.
C.Remain the same
D.Die out.
35.What is more helpful in preventing cancer?C
A.Vitamin C
B.Frozen fruit and vegetables.
C.Fresh fruit and vegetables
D.Anthocyanins.
