 (10·浙江)

I will never forget the year I was about twelve years old. My mother told us that we would not be _21_ Christmas gifts because there was not enough money. I felt sad and thought, “What would I say when the other kids asked what I’d  22  ?” Just when I started to  23  that there would not be a Christmas that year, three women  24  at our house with gifts for all of us. For me they brought a doll. I felt such a sense of  25  that I would no longer have to be embarrassed when I returned to school. I wasn’t  26  . Somebody had thought  27  of me to bring me a gift. 

      Years later, when I stood in the kitchen of my new house, thinking how I wanted to make my  28  Christmas there special and memorable, I  29  remembered the women’s visit. I decided that I wanted to create that same feeling of  30  for as many children as I could possibly reach.

      So I  31  a plan and gathered forty people from my company to help. We gathered about 125 orphans (孤儿) at the Christmas party. For every child, we wrapped colorful packages filled with toys, clothes, and school supplies,  32  with a child’s name. We wanted all of them to know they were  33  . Before I called out their names and handed them their gifts, I   34  them that they couldn’t open their presents  35  every child had come forward. Finally the  36  they had been waiting for came as I called out, “One, two, three. Open your presents!” As the children opened their packages, their faces beamed and their bright smiles  37  up the room. The  38  in the room was obvious, and  39  wasn’t just about toys. It was a feeling –the feeling I knew  40  that Christmas so long ago when the women came to visit. I wasn’t forgotten. Somebody thought of me. I matter.

Now I know that we black people are much more likely to have high blood pressure and diabetes(糖尿病) than white people. And they often lead to heart attacks and other untreated diseases. For example, black people are three to four times more likely than white people to have high blood pressure and twice as likely as the white population to die of a stroke(中风).
New research has found out the surprisingly high levels of salt in many of black people’s favorite meals. I stopped putting extra salt in my food at the table long ago and I try to cut down on the salt I use in cooking. The recommended daily level of salt for adults is 6 grams. It is easy to see that if you avoid processed(加工过的) foods and use salt in your cooking within the limit, you won’t exceed the daily level.
The research showed how much salt there is in some foods that we buy from restaurants and takeaways. An average salad with rice and peas has 6.2 grams of salt. This is more salt than you are supposed to eat for the whole day.
A researcher talked about the importance of home cooking rather than take-outs. At home, he pointed out, not only can you hold control of the salt shaker, but also you can create tasty food which is low on salt. The researcher later provided curry goat and rice and peas. They were low on salt, but completely delicious.
I do not suppose Jamaicans are going to stop buying takeaways soon. But if you suffer from high blood pressure, it is probably better not to buy them often.
【小题1】The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 1 refers to ______.

A.white peopleB.black people
C.untreated diseasesD.high blood pressure and diabetes
【小题2】What has the new research found out according to Paragraph 2?
A.Black people take in too much salt.
B.Black people’s meals are very special.
C.Processed foods have too much salt in them.
D.6 grams of salt per day is enough for an adult.
【小题3】What would the writer probably suggest black people do?
A.Order no salad in a restaurant.B.Take in no salt for several days.
C.Stop cooking their favorite meals.D.Eat less takeaways.
【小题4】The researcher provided curry goat and rice and peas in order to ______.
A.thank those who came to his home for his research
B.let people know that eating less salt makes one healthier
C.show that tasty food with less salt can be made at home
D.prove the less salt the food has the more delicious it is
【小题5】What would be the best title for this passage?
A.Watch the salt.B.Take care, black people.
C.Say no to takeaways.D.Say no to high blood pressure.

The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., is one of the world's greatest art museums. Millions of people have entered its doors to see paintings by the world's fine artists. But if these priceless masterpieces are to be preserved, the Gallery must protect them carefully. The Gallery's 135-man guard force has successfully prevented them from being stolen, but protecting the paintings from nature is a greater problem.

In past times, the owners of paintings did not protect them from damaging changes in humidity (湿度) and temperature. As a result, the life of these paintings were shortened. In the National Gallery, however, humidity and temperature are carefully controlled. The building is air-conditioned in summer and heated in winter. The air-conditioning and heating system are so important to the life of the painting that the Gallery has two of each system. If one should fail, the extra one can take over.

Light is another enemy of paintings. Ultraviolet rays (紫外线) in light cause paintings to fade (褪色).  Long ago, paintings often hung in dark churches and palaces. A coat of varnish (清漆) was a protection from the weak light. But when museums took over the care of many paintings, they were often hung in brighter light than before. Soon they were in danger of fading. The damaging effects of light were increased when the museums removed the varnish coating, yellowed with age.

To protect its paintings, the National Gallery put a special kind of glass in its skylights. This glass allows visible lights to enter the building but it keeps out harmful ultraviolet rays. The Gallery has also developed new and better varnishes which help to keep paintings from fading. Thanks to these new precautions, many of the world's greatest paintings are being well protected for future generations to enjoy.

1.The text mainly tells us about ______.

A.the guard force in the National Gallery

B.protecting great paintings from nature

C.priceless paintings of past times

D.the air-conditioning and heating systems in the National Gallery

2.The underlined word "precautions" in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ______.  

A.decorations

B.problems

C.suggestions

D.applications

3.From the text we can infer that_______.

A.great artists painted in dark churches and palaces

B.you can touch these paintings while you are in the National Gallery

C.the care of the world's greatest paintings is both a big responsibility and a great challenge

D.the guard force in the Gallery has not done a good job
