11.In the past,Americans used to think of the United States as a"melting pot"of immigrants(移民) from many different cultures to the United States,their old ways melted away and they became part of a completely new culture.The United States was likened to a big pot of soup,which had bits of flavor(味道,滋味) from each different culture.All of the different cultures were so well blended(混合,掺杂) together that it formed its own new flavor.?
Today,Americans realize that the simple"melting pot"theory is less true.Instead,different groups of people keep many of their old customs.Often groups of Americans from the same culture band together.They live together in distinctive communities,such as"Chinatowns"or"Little Italy"-areas populated almost exclusively(惟一,仅) by Americans of a single ethnic group-which can be found in many large American cities.Living in ethnic neighborhoods gives new Americans the security of sharing a common language and common traditions with people who understand them.?
In time,however,people from different backgrounds mix together.They also mix with native-born Americans.Old traditions give way to new customs.The children of immigrants are often eager to adopt new,American ways.They often want to dress in American?fashions,to speak English and to follow?American?social customs.By one estimate(估计),about 80 percent of European immigrants marry outside their own ethnic groups by the time they reach the third generation.Third generation means that their great-grandparents were immigrants.Yet as successive generations become more"Americanized",they often retain significant elements of their ethnic country.

28.What does the text mainly talk about?D
A.The American way of life.
B.Immigrants and native-born Americans.
C.Old traditions and new customs.
D.The multi-cultural society of the United States.
29.Why does the author mention"Chinatowns"in the second paragraph?A
A.To give an example that many people keep their old customs.
B.To show that Chinese cherish their old traditions.
C.To contrast(对比) the Chinese way of life with that of the Italian's.
D.To give an example of the Americanization.?
30.The underlined word"ethnic"in the last sentence most probably meansB.
A.moral
B.national
C.cultural
D.social
31.The underlined word"Americanized"generally meansD.
A.美国人
B.研究美国社会的专家
C.有关美国的史料
D.美国化的

解答 28.D,主旨大意题,根据短文的第一句可知主要讲了美国是一个多元文化的国家,并讲述了旧的传统和新的习俗是如何融合在一起,形成这样一个多元社会,故答案为D.
29.A,细节理解题,第二段提到唐人街主要是为了说明很多人还保存他们旧的习俗,根据句子Instead,different groups of people keep many of their old customs可知.
30.B,推理判断题,这一段主要讲了虽然现在很多融入到美国的人按照美国这种方式生存,但他们还保留他们民族国家的重要元素,因此可以推测ethnic的意思为national,故答案为B.
31.D,词义猜测题,这里主要讲现在很多融入到美国的人按照美国这种方式生存,也就是变得美国化了,故答案为D.

1.I was a dance teacher when I first began working with people who have disabilities.I had thirty students.These were teens and adults up to the age of 40.We learned new steps together.We laughed together and we shared a love of music and fellowship.
I had one pupil,Dan,who didn't appear to get much out of the class.I never had eye contact with him.When I left the class to travel down the stairs to reach the main floor of the building,he moved worriedly as a blind person might do in unfamiliar condition.
One day his parents met me shopping downtown and told me that they were so grateful that I was teaching the class.They said that my class was the high point of their son's week.Were they just being polite?
A week later,a snowstorm held me up and I was later than usual pulling into the school parking lot.Ahead of me by one row of cars,and over to one side,was my student,Dan and his worker.I could see his face as he moved toward the building.He was excited.I watched Dan run toward the building in anticipation(期待着) his weekly treat,my class.I cried as it hit me that though I could not see in class all that Dan got from the class,it surely meant a lot to him.Dan did indeed love the class.He was getting enjoyment out of it.
Today when I teach courses at the College to students,I remind them that children can stand on the sidelines and seem to be uninterested and yet they can be learning at the same pace as those who are in the middle of the activity.When I teach this,I think,yes and this is true for those with disabilities too!

19.When you buy cooking oil in the supermarket,you may notice that some brands are labeled as"GM (genetically modified 转基因)-free".So,what is genetic modification?Are GM foods safe?
These questions have been put back into the public attention recently.On Nov 19,the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the US announced that it had approved the AquAdvantage salmon to go on the market,making it the first GM animal to be approved as food anywhere in the world.
GM foods are plants or animals that have been given a gene from another plant or animal to make them stronger in some way.The AquAdvantage salmon contains a gene from another type of salmon that makes it grow faster.
Although the FDA has said"food from the fish is safe to eat",some believe that scientists can't completely understand the potential health risks of GM foods,simply because they're so new.Others worry that the fish could escape into the wild and cause ecological problems.
GM crops have experienced the same public argument,even though GM technology cuts down on the use of pesticides(杀虫剂) on crops and increases output.
While GM animals are new,GM crops have already appeared on our plates:A total of 28countries in the world including the US,Brazil and India planted 181.5million hectares (1.815million km2)of GM crops in 2014,according to the International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-biotech Applications.In China,we grow GM cotton and papaya and import GM soybeans,corn,rape,cotton and beets from abroad.
Due to safety worries,many countries have regulations for producing and selling GM foods.
In European Union countries,each GM food must be approved before it can be used.This process can take up to 17months.The origin of all GM foods must also be traceable,and all food with a GM content of more than 0.9percent must also be labeled,according to EU website europaeu.
The US is less strict about GM foods.According to FDA regulations,companies introducing new GM foods to the market should report them at least 120days before release.The labeling is voluntary,except that a product cannot be labeled as"GM-free"if genetically modified materials are used.
In China,GM foods can only be produced after strict tests by the Ministry of Agriculture and it's sure that they are safe.All food that is made from GM crops or contains GM ingredients must be clearly labeled on the wrapper.
32.According to the text,the AquAdvantage salmonC.
A.tastes better than normal salmon    
B.is a product that mixes several types of fish
C.has a gene from a different type of salmon    
D.remains to be approved in several countries
33.One of the reasons for many people to worry about the AquAdvantage salmon is thatB.
A.the gene that makes them grow faster can work on humans too
B.there are possible health risks that even scientists might not have figured out yet
C.they could possibly become threats to other wild species
D.they are not nutritious enough or might taste strange
34.From the text,it can be concluded that GM cropsB.
A.no longer cause any public argument
B.have already been planted in some countries
C.are popular because they don't need pesticides
D.can increase output,making them welcome in countries like Japan
35.Which of the following is TRUE about regulations for producing and selling GM food?D
A.All food with GM content must be labeled in European countries.
B.In the US,the AquAdvantage salmon will have to be labeled as GM food.
C.In France or Germany,every GM food that is about to go on the market must be reported at least 120days before release.

3.Biking is an amazing family activity,but finding a route that can accommodate a wide-range of ages can be a challenge.
Lee McNeil and his family are crazy about biking.They have seven children,from 4to 24years old.When looking for a route,they look for enough protection from traffic,good surface condition,easy access and interesting views.
With that in mind,here are some great routes for biking with your whole family,as are suggested by McNeil.
Iron Horse Trail
This is the McNeil family's favourite ride.The route is 26 miles and goes through the 2.l mile Snoqualmie Tunnel.
"Beautiful views,the thrill the tunnel,and places to stop and watch the rock climbers make it special,"McNeil said."All our kids have taken their turn at braving the black tunnel bravely for the first time,which we celebrate it at the end of the ride."
How to get there:If you prefer,check http://bit.ly/Mlt9y4 for more information.
Centennial Trail
The Centennial Trail runs for 23miles from Snohomish to Bryant.The trail is wide and smooth,and is safe for kids as it is off the roads.A nice stop is Lake Cassidy east of Marysville.A dock on the lake is fun to explore.It also has picnic tables and washrooms for a convenient lunch time stop.
How to get there:The trail can be accessed from a number of trailheads.For a map,go to http://bit.ly/L5qCeY.
Cascade Trail
The Cascade Trail follows an abandoned Burlington Northern railroad grade for 23miles between Sedro-Woolley and Concrete.Because it's on a railroad grade,the slope is gentle and it makes for an easy family ride.
McNeil said it is a"beautiful ride up the Skagit Valley,with lots of places to watch wildlife along the river."
How to get there:Go to http://bit.ly/PR4wOWto  see a map showing the trail,parking areas and bus stops.
