AJamie Oliver, a lively British guy, loves to share his secrets. In his first television show, The Naked Chef, Oliver taught everyone to make simple but delicious food. In Jamie's Kitchen, he taught young people how to prepare meals. His next show,Jamie's School Dinners, is about changing the food that students eat.Oliver saw that some schools in Britain were serving junk food — food that is easy to eat but unhealthy. Although it can be delicious, junk food is not very good for children. It is sometimes bad for their health, because it doesn't give them the energy they need at school. They sometimes can't think well or feel down, and they sometimes put on weight.Some of the junk food that Oliver wants to change is canned spaghetti, chicken nuggets, French fries, soda, and muffins. He encourages schools to serve fresh and healthy meats, vegetables, and fruits. He helps the school cooks to make healthy dinners without junk food.People liked Oliver's idea of bringing quality food to schools. Thousands enjoyed his television show. But Oliver wanted them to do more than just watch. At his Feed Me Better website, he collected over 270,000 signatures (签名) from people. Oliver sent these signatures to British Prime Minister (首相) Tony Blair.

It is 4,190 feet (1.23 km) above sea level.When to visitThe park is open 24 hours a day all year round. There are no plants or trees on the lava (火山岩) fields and no protection from the sun, so you must bring sunscreen (防晒霜).How to get thereThe best way to get to the park is to take Highway 11. From the airport at Hilo, Highway 11 will take you southward across the eastern part of the island.Things to seeIf you want to know more about the park, the Kilauea Visitor Center is surely a stop to make. It is a quarter of a mile (402 m) from the park entrance. There, you can see a great movie about real lava and learn about the island's natural and cultural history. The center is open from 7:45 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. There are also many guided walks and hikes (徒步旅行) around the park. You must check weather conditions andvolcanic activity before hiking alone. If possible, you may drive down Chain of Craters Road to see lava flowing into the ocean.TicketsEntrance to the park is $10.00 for each vehicle, $5.00 for those who travel on foot or ride a bicycle.

The text is most probably taken from _____.A. a geography textbookB. a newspaper reportC. a travel magazineD. a research paperCA group of scientists in the Netherlands recently used high-tech methods to examine a secret hidden inside an ancient Chinese statue (雕像). It was sent to the Drents Museum in the northeastern Netherlands as part of an exhibit. But while working on the statue, researchers took the chance to study the body of a Buddhist monk (佛僧) inside it.The statue was shipped to a medical center for CT scans, which are tests that produce X-ray pictures. Scientists used the technology to find out the statue's hidden secrets. The body of the monk was sitting on top of a roll of cloth marked with Chinese characters (字). The cloth shows that the monk was named Liuquan and lived around the year 1100.“On the outside, it looked like a large statue of Buddha,” said Vincent van Vilsteren from the Drents Museum. “What flabbergasted me was that, on the inside, itwas the mummy (干尸) of a Buddhist monk. Later we learned that for the first 200 years, the mummy was probably placed in a Buddhist temple. Only in the 14th century did they do all the work to move it into a nice statue.”Researchers at the Drents Museum still have a lot of questions about the mummy. It is believed to be the only Chinese Buddhist mummy that has been studied outside Asia. Scientists hope that DNA testing on the mummy will help them learn more about it. Further research may dig up more information about the monk in the months to come.29. What is special about the statue?A. Something unusual is in it.B. It is a modern Chinese statue.C.

Now more such suffixes are going to be available. Government bodies, cities, companies, or even a single person will be able to get any suffix they want as long as they'd like to pay $185,000 for it.A generic top level domain (gTLD) is the suffix on the right of the domain name (域名). Extensions now include .net, .org, .biz, .name, .tv, etc., as well as country level domains such as .us for the US, .in for India, and so on. They were designed to show different kinds of website: .biz for business use, .org for non-profit (非营利性的) organizations, etc.Think of the web address like the name of a person. In the case of, the suffix “.com” is similar to the last name of a person — of which there are only 22 choices now. The prefix “baidu” is like the first name of a person —which can be taken according to availability. These changes will let you choose not only the first name but also a last name for your website.As you can see, DNS (Domain Name System) is very important for directing the traffic for business over the Internet. Having the right domain name is important for building brands (品牌) and competing better in the marketplace. The new rules could mean more chances for e-business.However, gTLDs can mean more costs for companies. Besides protecting their brand, companies may have to deal with cyber squatting — this is when people have some domain names recorded formally with the purpose of selling them at a higher price.33. Which of the following is TRUE of domain names?A. They are becoming less and less important.B. Users won't need to pay for these names.C. There will be more gTLDs for people to choose from.D. Suffixes like .com and .net have a history of 50 years.34. In the last paragraph, the author expresses his _____.A. worryB. doubtC. excitementD. politeness35. The purpose of the text is to _____.A. explain what a gTLD isB. talk about new changes to gTLDsC. introduce the history of the InternetD. show how to deal with cyber squatting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。
