AIt is quite natural for all of us to want to preserve and protect the foods we purchase. With that in mind, weoften think that the best way to do that is by putting them in our refrigerators. However, that is not always the case.BreadNothing dries out bread faster than your refrigerator. In the event that you have made sandwiches with the bread,then you can place them in the fridge. The cold temperature will make the bread tough and chewy.TomatoWe all love tomatoes for their taste. But putting them in the refrigerator will cause them to lose all of their flavor (口味). Plus，the cold air in the cooler stops the ripening process as well. And as we all know, ripening is whatgives every tomato more taste and flavor. For best results, keep tomatoes out, and inside a basket or a bowl on yourcounter.SaladOil or vinegar based salad can be stored for a long period of time without refrigeration. Moreover, refrigeration of salad dressings brings bad smell to them. Keep in mind that some salads that are mayo (蛋黄酱) or yogurt basedshould be refrigerated in order to keep them fine. So if you have some salads that have been already dressed, you cankeep them away from your fridge without any hesitation.EggIt is a long debate whether you should keep eggs inside your refrigerator or not. One study suggests that keeping eggs whether in a refrigerator or not does not change their normalqualities, so it can be said that if you keepeggs at room temperature，there should not be any problem. There is another study that shows that keeping eggsinside the refrigerators has a bad effect on the natural taste and flavor of eggs, so it is wise to keep eggs outside ofyour fridge.21. Which of the following lose (s) water quickest in the cooler?A. Bread.B. Tomatoes.C. Salad.D. Eggs.22. What should we do with tomatoes to get the best taste?A. Put them in the cooler.B. Cook them at once.C. Make them ripen faster.D. Leave them in the shade.23. What will go bad easily without refrigeration?A. Dressed salad.B. Mayo and yogurt.C. Oil and vinegar.D. Salad dressings.24. What do we know about the idea of keeping eggs in the fridge?A. It’s interesting.B. It’s brilliant.C. It’s ridiculous.D. It’s controversial.BGertrude was just an average kid with an average life. She lived in an average sized house in an average neighborhood. At home, she helped out just enough to get by. At school, she did just enough homework to stay outof trouble. She had straight Cs in all of her classes.One day Gertrude’s teacher, Mr. Mister, stopped her after class. “Gertrude,” he said, “ I know that you can do better. I’ve seen the work you do in class, and some of it is amazing… Way better than C work.” Gertrude knew thatthere were moments when she tried a little harder than what everyone expected. But she just didn’t have confidencein herself. She didn’t really believe that she could change；in fact, she was scared by the thought of having thepower to become whatever she wanted. She stopped listening to Mr. Mister about half way through his speech andjust nodded her head until he stopped.That night, Gertrude had a dream. It was ten years into the future and she was still living with her mom in her average neighborhood. A voice spoke in the dream: “The present is nothing more than the outcome of the choicesmade in the past. The future will be the results of the choices we make today. ” Gertrude started crying average sizedtears，because she knew that she helped shape the world in which she lived, and the choices she made produced theoptions she had. She woke up with her pillow wet.Gertrude was relieved to be back in middle school. She took a little more care in getting herself ready that morning, and she felt better than normal. She tried harder in school, and she felt smarter than usual. She helped morearound the house, and it looked better. Sure, there were still lots of things that Gertrude struggled with, but justtrying her best made her feel better when she didn’t succeed. Gertrude even became great at failing by learning fromher mistakes.25. Which of the following words can best describe Gertrude in Paragraph 1 ?A. PopularB. Optimistic.C. Ordinary.D. Modest.26. Where did Gertrude’s problem actually lie?A. In herself.B. In her family.C. In her teacher.D. In her studies.27. What can we say for sure about Gertrude from the last paragraph?A. She suffered more.B. She failed in her attempts.C. She changed fundamentally.D. She was glad about failures.CWith the explosion of consumer choices in recent history, the latest must -haves would surely need to be upgraded more often than every 10 years. In 2002 a computer and basic mobile phone would have been enough formost people, but now? The public need a trendy notebook computer and a smart phone with WiFi connection to feelthey are up-to-date. So when will we have enough things? When will we finally be happy? Well, it looks like thethings we buy today will barely keep us satisfied for a few months.In the eyes of some psychologists, far from making us happy, greater consumer choice creates many serious psychological problems. A fundamental principle of the society is that more freedom is better and more choice in themarketplace means more freedom. Therefore more choice leads to more happiness. This is not the case, however.Imagine you go to a café offering chocolate and vanilla ice cream. You choose the chocolate and eat it happily.But what if the café serves 50 kinds of ice cream? You choose chocolate and then start to worry, “maybe blueberry would have been better, perhaps the half-fat ice cream would have been healthier. Stupid me, all these choices and Ididn’t make the best one!”In China’s major cities we have now passed the point where more consumer choice is making us happier. We are annoyed by all the options we have, disappointed because our expectations are so high and angered at ourselveswhen we don’t make a perfect choice every time.A newspaper reporter tells a story about traveling on a plane with high -speed Internet access. He thought this was amazing — the newest piece of technology he had heard of. Then the service went down. The man next tohim was angry and swore. The reporter thought, “How quickly the world owes him something he knew existed only10 seconds ago!”28. What is the text mainly talking about?A. Hi-tech and consumer needs.B. Computers and smart phones.C. Wireless products and WiFi connection.D. Diverse choices and consumer satisfaction.29. What may some psychologists think of the consumer demand in the café?A. Variety leads to unhappiness.B. More choice means more freedom.C. The consumer has mental problems.D. The shop provides too many choices.30. Why was the man next to the reporter quite annoyed?A. Someone owed him money.B. The net connection was interrupted.C. The air hostess offered poor service.D. The pleasure lasted only 10 seconds.31. What does the underlined word “swore” in the last paragraph probably mean?A. Fell asleep.B. Made promises.C. Said rude words.D. Became amazed.DDolphin (海豚) or not a dolphin? That is the question! You see, there are several types of dolphins. Some are saltwater dolphins while others are river dolphins.“What are the 32 types of dolphins?” When people are asking the question, they are actually referring to the saltwater dolphins in oceans and seas. The river dolphins living in fresh water are not included in these species (物种). But what would be the answer in this case if we ask, “Dolphin or not a dolphin?” The answer would obviouslybe yes. River dolphins still belong to the dolphin family.Among the 32 types of dolphins, some do not actually wear the word “dolphin” in theirnames, such as the tucuxi, while others actually have the word “whale” as part of their names even if they are not whales but in fact,belong to the dolphin family, for example, the melon -headed whale and the killer whale. So what would be theanswer to the question “dolphin or not a dolphin?” in these cases? It would be yes. All these species do belong to thedolphin family.Another question that people ask is, “Are the sea animals that perform at aquariums (水族馆) all dolphins?” So, it always seems to come back to the question, “Dolphin or not a dolphin?” Well the answer is no in this case. The seaanimals that perform there are not all dolphins. The beluga which people tend to think belong to the dolphin familybecause they show what seems like a smile, like most dolphins, are in fact a species of the whale family.Now that you read these facts about dolphins, you probably realize that certain sea animals may appear to bepart of the dolphin species and that others seem to be part of the whale family but in either case, it is not obvious andcan be surprising when you identify a sea animal as being a dolphin or not a dolphin. That is the question!32. Which of the following actually belongs to the whale family?A. The tucuxi.B. The beluga.C. The killer whale.D. The melon-headed whale.33. What do we know about the majority of the dolphins?A. They perform for audience.B. They appear friendly.C. They look like whales.D. They live in fresh water.34. What could be added about dolphins before the last paragraph if you were the author?A. The living area.B. Dolphin training.C. The eating habits.D. Further identification.35. This article can be classified as ________.A. popular scienceB. literary fictionC. a news reportD. a travel diary第二节（共5 小题；每小题2 分，满分10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
