16．Hard to believe that that something as simple as making a pizza can change a life．But that's exactly what's happening behind the walls of the Cook County Jail（监狱）．
It's all part of a program called Recipe for Change．The man behind the program is well-known Chicago Chef（大厨） Bruno Abate．Besides running his own restaurant，Abate spends 5 days a week in jail teaching prisoners the art of pizza and change．"The prisoners are human．They deserve a chance and they deserve to change their life，"Abate said．And that's one reason he started his Recipe for Change three years ago．
And in the Cook County Jail，help comes in the from of pizza．Chef Abate and his team donate their time to teach prisoners how to cook the pies．Those pizzas are then sold to other prisoners in the jail．There are six to choose from，all costing 5 to 7 dollars．It is a big win for prisoners like Sterling，who has dreams of opening his own restaurant．"I want to start my own restaurant and maybe hire some of these guys to help me out，"Sterling said．And that's what this is really about，giving prisoners the skills needed to land a job once they get out．
Like Sterling，Karim also has dreams of running a restaurant．"Growing up I really didn't have a father figure growing up．But Abate always talked about change and mistakes．When you fall，there is nothing but up．"Karim said．
And helping those who fall get back up is a task that Chef Abate hopes everyone will support．"All the restaurant in Chicage，supermarkets，if you need some people，I can teach them for you．Let me know what you need．Here we are．"Abate said．

D．give prisoners a chance to change
23．The underlined"these guys"in paragraph 3 probably refers toB．

25．Which of the following might be the best title for the text？C

B．A Well-known Chicago Chef
C．Pizza Changing Prisoners'Life
D．Dreams of Running a Restauran．

分析 本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了Abate通过教导犯人们制作披萨给他们一个改变的机会，并呼吁更多的人给他们机会．

解答 22．D．细节理解题．根据第一段Besides running his own restaurant，Abate spends 5 days a week in jail teaching prisoners the art of pizza and change．"The prisoners are human．They deserve a chance and they deserve to change their life可知Abate开始教犯人们厨艺是为了给他们一个改变的机会；故选D．
23．B．词义猜测题．根据文章I want to start my own restaurant and maybe hire some of these guys to help me out，"Sterling said可知"我想自己开一家餐厅，也许雇用这些人来帮助我；指的是犯人们；故选B．
24．C．细节理解题．根据最后一段And helping those who fall get back up is a task that Chef Abate hopes everyone will support可知他希望更多的人来帮助那些犯人们；故选C．
25．C．推理判断题．根据文章Chef Abate and his team donate their time to teach prisoners how to cook the pies．Those pizzas are then sold to other prisoners in the jail可知最佳标题是披萨改变了监狱犯人们的生活；故选C．

6．Each Sunday，people can hear the music of the Mission Dolores Basilica in San Francisco．The Spanish missionaries（传教士）built the church in 1791．It was the start of a special kind of neighborhood：the Mission District．
The area is a place with a long and varied history．One community member says that it's important for people to understand the many levels of history in the neighborhood．He feels that this knowledge is a big part of understanding what it means to be a real San Franciscan．
One of the most interesting parts of the district is its people．Over the years，immigrants have come to the area from Ireland，Germany，and Italy．But the most recent immigrants are mainly from Latin America．It's easy to see the style that these recent additions give to the neighborhood．You can see it in the art on the walls，taste it in the food，and hear it in the music!
Juan Pedro Gaffney，the director of the Spanish Choir（唱诗班）of San Francisco，says that the people there share the pain and the happiness of their friends and family members and that music has always been a basic part of cultural identity in the district．He feels that the music of the district is colorful and lively．
But it isn't just its music that's colorful and lively．Its art is full of life as well．
The local art community stays close to the area's culture and tradition．A local arts organization often leads people on walks through the district．They visit streets like Balmy Alley，which is famous for its murals （壁画）．Even though the meanings behind the murals are always changing，they are still very powerful．One artist explains that they are fighting for fairness in the community and to help the environment through murals．Apparently，they're something the community likes．
Many of these artists feel that the district is a successful neighborhood where new immigrants are welcome．"People see that they're not so different from each other，"says one artist．"There are a lot of things that bind（捆绑）the immigrants through culture and tradition．"
68．The underlined phrase"this knowledge"in Paragraph 2refers toD．

C．realizing what it means to be a real San Franciscan
D．understanding the many levels of history in the neighborhood

A．literature and sports
B．music and murals
C．buildings and clothes
D．customs and festivals
70．It can be inferred from the passage that in the Mission DistrictA．

1．It is 8：45 a．m．and a line of hungry children eagerly await breakfast outside a classroom．Moments later they burst in，running over to a table covered with cereals，spreads，milk and juice to enjoy a satisfying，healthy breakfast．
This is familiar for Cannel McConnell，founder of The Magic Breakfast，a charity that delivers morning meals to children who would otherwise go without．
Ms McConnell created her organization 16 years ago after hearing from school staff that they had to feed their pupils before lessons started，as many were so hungry as to sleep in class．
The Magic Breakfast has a simple goal：to remove child hunger in the mornings by 2020．It is an example of one of many organizations using fresh produce to handle food poverty．
The charity has 200 partner schools in the capital and another 280 across the rest of England．There are 60 London schools on the waiting list．On average，49 pupils receive breakfast in each school，meaning the charity helps 9，800 young people in London every day．
Ms McConnell says the Magic Breakfast has made a notable impact："Every morning pupils come in，eat breakfast and socialise with one another．In terms of their academic development，they are sharper as the breakfast gives them the energy to get through the day and to learn．"
When asked about the obstacle to their goal，McConnell says，"The big thing we need，quite simply，is cash．The consequence （后果） of child hunger is that they will fail at school and we have to deal with fallout．Feeding hungry children so they can learn is no tough task．Breakfast is an ideal solution．As well as cash，we are looking for firms to donate food．I'd love for people to support us．And I'd love for us to proudly say we have sorted this problem out．"

8．Correctly understanding the signals that people give away with their body language is a useful skill to understand what they are really thinking，regardless of what they are saying．But research has proven that some body language is often misunderstood．
The Eyes of a Liar
Most people say that someone cannot look another person in the eyes and lie，but that is not true．It has been found that some liars have no problem staring someone in the eyes and lying．
And what about people who avoid eye contact （接触）？Are they dishonest？In fact，nervousness and shyness can make people drop their eyes，even when they're telling the truth．
Eye Contact is Good
Many believe that more eye contact is better．However，directing a fixed stare at another usually makes the other person uncomfortable．Eye contact that lasts a few seconds is best for showing attention and sincerity．Any eye contact longer than that may be regarded by the other person as rude or aggressive．
Hands Behind the Back
Some people mistake a person putting their hands behind their back when standing as a sign of power．This type of body language is actually not a sign of strength but that of someone who is not trustworthy．People like to see a person's hands in order to know what they are doing with them．To gain others'trust，a person should keep their hands front．
Fast-Talkers Can't Be Trusted
Many people have been faced with，a fast-talking salesman who has tried to fool them into buying something．But fast-talk doesn't necessarily mean someone is trying to bamboozle you．On the contrary，slower speakers who take too many pauses may be trying to make up details as they go along．
Remember to take all things into consideration-cultures，societies，personal habits-and use as much information as possible when judging another person based on his or her body language．

32．Which of the following is true about eye contact？B
A．People who avoid eye contact are dishonest．
B．Proper eye contact shows attention and sincerity．
C．A long stare at others is considered good manners．
D．Looking into someone's eyes can make them tell the truth．
33．When communicating with others，we should keep our hands front toC．
A．show our belief in themB．defend ourselves from harm
C．show that we can be relied onD．prove that we are powerful
34．The underlined word"bamboozle"in the last paragraph can be replaced by"D"．
A．impressB．attackC．approachD．cheat
35．What can be the best title of the passage？B
A．Ways to Use the Right Body Language
B．Misbeliefs about Some Body Language
C．How to Judge a Person by Body Language
D．Body Language Gives Away Your Real Thoughts．
5．他是在美国抚养长大的．
He wasbroughtupin the USA．
8．It suddenlyoccurred to me that（我想到）we could go to the customs office for help．
