阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

Eat like a king in the morning, a prince at noon, and a peasant at night. This saying is all about the importance of breakfast. And now scientists can tell us just why it’s so important. According to a study carried out at Imperial College London, UK, skipping the first meal of the day not only means you eat more at lunch, but also that your brain wants to find more unhealthy foods.

The study suggests that there is a special part of our brain called the orbitofrontal cortex (眶额皮层), which plays an important part in making choices about what we eat. It is used for identifying the taste of food, especially when skipping breakfast. It is more likely to target high-calorie foods when you’re on an empty stomach.

Scientists did an experiment on this. Dr Tony Goldstone from Imperial College London, scanned (扫描) the brains of 21 men and women, around the age of 25. On the first day, these people skipped breakfast before the scans. On the second day, they had cereal (谷物), bread and jam as breakfast. After the scan on both days, they had their lunch.

When the volunteers had skipped breakfast, they ate around 20 percent more at lunch, compared with days when they had eaten breakfast. Their brain scans also showed the orbitofrontal cortex was especially responsive to high-calorie foods. “We believe that bit identifies the value of foods – how pleasant, how delicious something is,” Goldstone told The Guardian.

③ The volunteers had a brain scan.

What’s life like on a deserted island? Senator(参议员) Jeff Flake of Arizona decided to find out.

The adventurous senator took a vacation from Capitol Hill and went on a four-day Robinson Crusoe style holiday with his two teenage sons to a remote, uninhabited island in the North Pacific Ocean.

The senator and his sons, 15-year-old Tanner and 13-year-old Dallin, traveled 5,200 miles from Phoenix, Arizona to the island of Biggarenn. They didn’t carry any food or water.

The island is part of the Marshall Islands. It offered no basic facilities, so the Flakes had to catch and cook their own food and purify their water. Their diet was made up of coconuts, crab and fish. They captured the crab and fish themselves and cooked the food over an open fire started with a magnifying glass(放大镜).

The Flakes brought along a lobster(龙虾) trap in hopes of having some delicious treats, but lost it within the first few hours after it was attacked by a shark. They also carried two pumps to remove salt from ocean water. It took them hours each night pumping for just a few gallons of fresh water.

One of the most memorable moments of the trip, the father said, was when he and his 15-year-old son were chased by sharks after spearing(叉) a fish in the ocean.

Still, it was quite an enjoyable holiday for the senator. “For a dad it was a wonderful thing. No video games around, no television, no distractions, no texting,” Flake recalled.

Near the end of the game, Hector took the ball and ran all the way for the winning touchdown (触地得分). Then the coach came up to him, “Kid, I can’t believe it. You were fantastic!

Can you imagine that several hundred years ago, tomatoes were seen as toxic food in Europe?

What made Europeans believe this was John Gerard’s publication of Herbal in 1597. Gerard wrote: “The leaves and stalks of the tomato plant are toxic.” Undoubtedly, Gerard’s opinion was based on a misunderstanding of tomatoes. But his opinion was widely spread in Britain and North America for over two hundred years.

In the late 1700s, a lot of Europeans held more fears for tomatoes. A nick name for the fruit was “poison apple” because it was believed that aristocrats(贵族) got sick and died after eating them. But the actual reason was the pewter plates they used. Since tomatoes are high in acidity, when placed on the plates, the lead(铅) in the plates would dissolve. This caused many deaths. Unluckily, no one knew this at that time. So the innocent tomatoes were picked as the killer.

Today, more than one and a half billion tons of tomatoes are produced every year around the world. Tomatoes are cooked in various ways. This healthy and tasty food finally wins its innocence(清白) back.

51. Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?

  A. Europeans’ fears for tomatoes                                          B. History of tomato planting

  C. Why do people eat so many tomatoes                            D. How did the tomato prove its value

52. What does the underlined word “toxic” in paragraph 1 mean?

  A. delicious                                          B. nutritious(营养)                            C. poisonous                            D. safe

53. What do we know about the book Herbal?

  A. It was written by an American writer.                            B. It was published about 400 years ago.

  C. Tomatoes were described as good food.                            D. Chinese herbal medicine was included.

54. When did people begin to eat tomatoes according to the text?

  A. About 100 years ago.                                                                      B. About 200 years ago.

  C. About 300 years ago.                                                                      D. About 400 years ago.

55. What’s the key point for the death of the aristocrats mentioned in the passage?

  A. Tomatoes.                            B. The pewter plate.              C. Serious illness.                            D. Chemical reaction.

Boys a bit different in USA

[1] HEY boys, attention please! If you want to go to the US one day, you’d better be fully prepared, because, well, you and the boys in the US are a bit different. In my opinion, you’d better try to do the following things.

[2] Firstly, know how to knot a tie (打领带). In the US, every boy above school age wears suits when they go to weddings (婚礼). My friend Madison from Virginia said it shows respect to others. Do you know how to ____________? Learn how!

[3] Secondly, be a gentleman. I know in China some boys are still proud of being strong. But in the US, a good man should also be polite. Here are two examples: holding the door for people behind you and giving the seat on a bus to old people.

[4] The last is to learn something about football and baseball. Chinese boys like ping-pong, basketball and soccer, but American boys love football and baseball. They get very happy when they play and watch these sports. It’s not necessary to be a fan of football or fix (固定) your TV channel to baseball games. But in order to watch the sports with other boys, at least learning some rules would help.

[5] However, all this doesn’t mean that the American way is always the right way. We sometimes need to know the importance of another culture, but don’t feel you have to know that if it makes you uncomfortable. Have fun along the way!
