So-called street food is not only delicious, but can be found in nearly every country, rich or poor, says Carla Diamanti, “It’s a way to get to know the people and the flavor of a place.” The Italian writer has visited many places around the globe. She shares some favorite snacks and snacking places with us.‎ Naples, Italy Pizza: Pizza may be the closest thing to a global food, but Diamanti says there’s nothing like ‎ the way it’s prepared in Naples. The dish is often ordered from a window counter and quickly baked for customers. “Our pizza is quick and simple,” she says. ‎ New York Hot dogs: When foreigners first visit America, one of the first things many want to try is the country’s typical snack food, the hot dog. “It’s like the flag of America — both inexpensive and democratic,” Diamanti says. “You expect to see kids queuing at a hot dog stall.” ‎ Bento boxes: Diamanti says the best time and place to eat this portable Japanese meal is under a blooming cherry tree in the spring. Bento boxes are filled with different dishes: often fish, meat, pickled vegetables, rice or tofu. “It’s really just a taste,” she says.‎ Jamaa el Fna Square, Marrakech, Morocco Food stalls: When the sun begins to set, this central square comes to life as crowds gather to sing, dance and eat. Hundreds of stalls serve grilled meat, chicken and rice. “There is plenty of smoke with hundreds of people cooking at the same time,” Diamanti says. ‎ 21. What is special about the pizza in Naples, Italy?‎ A. Its attractive taste.‎ C. Its low price. ‎ B. The way it’s prepared.‎ D. Its unique ingredients.‎ ‎22. For those who want to eat under blooming cherry trees in the spring, they’d better go to 　　　.‎ A. Morocco ‎ C. Naples, Italy B. New York D. Japan ‎ ‎23. Who are intended readers of the text?‎ A. The restaurant owners. ‎ C. The general people ‎ B. The cooks.‎ D. The food seller.‎ B ‎ Mike Myers is a teacher at Chauncey Rose High School in Terre Haute, Indiana. Last year, he taught his students about the world’s rain forests. They learned that rain forests are important because the plants and animals of the rain forest give us food, wood, and medicine.‎ ‎ Destruction of the world’s rain forests is a serious problem. Unluckily, rain forests are disappearing at a rate of 80 acres per minute! As part of a class project, Myers’ students bought ‎ three acres of rain forest in Central America. They paid $25 per acre. The students hope that the land they bought will be protected and not destroyed. The students became so interested in rain forests that they decided to get a closer look at a real rain forest.‎ ‎ So last June, Myers and four of his students took a boat ride down a river. They saw alligators and crocodiles. In the middle of the week, a guide took Myers and his students into the rain forest. “The monkeys were not happy that we were in their forest. They broke small branches off the trees and threw them at us,” one of the students said, “It was a great learning experience for all of us,” said Myers.‎ ‎ Each student chose something specific about Costa Rica to study involving the plants, animals, food, and culture. During the last few days the group had time to do fun activities. They went whitewater rafting and horseback riding, and visited Costa Rica’s active volcano.‎ ‎ Myers hopes to make the trip every year with a different group of kids.‎ ‎24.The word “Destruction” in paragraph 2 probably means “the process of being ______.”‎ A．developed B．destroyed C．discovered D．described ‎ ‎25.How much did Myers’ students pay for the rain forest they bought?‎ A．$75 B．$‎80 ‎C．$25 D．$2000‎ ‎26.When the monkeys saw Myers and his students, they ___________.‎ A．felt sad B．felt nervous C．felt angry D．felt excited ‎ ‎27.The passage mainly shows that Myers and his students __________.‎ A．went to the rain forest for study B．were interested in the geography of Costa Rica C．wanted to buy the rain forest in Costa Rica D．did something to protect rain forest C ‎ In ancient Egypt, a shopkeeper discovered that he could attract customers to his shop simply by making changes to its environment. Modern businesses have been following his lead, with more tactics (策略).‎ ‎ One tactic is where to display the goods. For example, stores place fruits and vegetables in the first section. They know that customers who buy the healthy food first will feel happy so that they will buy more junk food later in their trip. In department stores, the women’s shoe section ‎ is generally next to the women’s cosmetics (化妆品) section: while the shop assistant is going back to find the right size shoe, bored customers are likely to wander over and find some cosmetics they might want to try later.‎ ‎ Besides, businesses seek to appeal to customers’ senses. Stores notice that the smell of baked goods encourages shopping, so they make their own bread each morning and then fan the bread smell into the store throughout the day. Music sells goods, too. Researchers in Britain found that when French music was played, sales of French wines went up.‎ ‎ When it comes to the selling of houses, businesses also use highly rewarding tactics. They find that customers make decisions in the first few seconds upon walking in the door, and turn it into a business opportunity. A California builder designed the structure of its houses smartly. When entering the house, the customer would see the Pacific Ocean through the windows. The view of water helped sell these $10 million houses.‎ ‎28. Why do stores usually display fruits and vegetables in the first section?‎ ‎ A. To help sell junk food. ‎ ‎ B. To save customers times.‎ ‎ C. To sell them at discount prices. ‎ ‎ D. To show they are high quality foods.‎ ‎29. According to Paragraph 3, which of the following encourages customers to buy?‎ ‎ A. Displaying British wines next to French ones. B. Opening the store early in the morning.‎ ‎ C. Filling the store with the smell of fresh bread. D. Inviting customers to play music. ‎ ‎30. What is the California builder’s story intended to prove?‎ A. The house structure is the first thing customers consider. ‎ B. A good first impression increases sales.‎ C. The more expensive the house is, the better it sells. ‎ D. Customers all like the ocean view. ‎ ‎31. What is the main purpose of the passage?‎ A. To show dishonest business practices ‎ B. To report researches on customer behavior.‎ C. To introduce how businesses have grown from the past.‎ D. To explain how businesses turn people into their customers.‎ D One of the first signs visitors find at most museums is “Please do not touch the exhibits”. However at the new Hoy tocael Prado exhibition at Madrid’s Museo Nacional Del Prado, the officials don’t just encourage the habit, they insist upon it. That’s because this art display has been specially created to enable blind visitors to experience the joy of the works of some of the world’s most famous artists just like able-bodied people can.‎ The 3-D masterpiece is the idea of Estudios Durero, a kind of art. The creators began by taking high resolution(高清的) images of the original works. They then used a special ink to add different 3-D materials to the paintings. This allows blind visitors to feel features like hair, skin, cloaks, etc. so that they can create a visual image of what the art looks like in their minds. ‎ The Museo Nacional Del Prado is the world’s first major museum to create one with versions of their most famous work of arts. As to why it has taken so long for it to come up with this bright idea, Fernando Pérez, the museum’s keeper says it is not because of lack of interest, but a lack of resources. Pérez explains, “There are now new technologies to provide answers that were earlier not possible, such as the paints in 3-D, and apps.” Now that they have it all figured out, people plan to continue offering similar exhibitions in the future.‎ As one blind visitor said, “For us the sense of sight is the sense of touch. My view is to touch, and usually I can’t see the paintings others see in a museum—someone would have to explain them to me. But in this exhibit, I have the chance to see it with my hands.”‎ ‎32. Why can the paintings in Hoy tocael Prado be touched?‎ A. They are all made of unique materials.　 B. They are created by the famous artists.‎ C. They are specially designed for the blind. D. They are displayed in a special way.‎ ‎33.The second paragraph is mainly about______.‎ A. why the museum displayed its masterpieces B. how the 3-D masterpieces were created C. who are the creators of these 3-D masterpieces D. why the blind visitors are allowed to touch the 3-D masterpieces ‎34.Why did it take the museum so long to come up with this concept?‎ A. Technology set a limit to the museum.‎ B. The museum has no interest in it.‎ C. The painters don’t allow using their works.‎ D. There is a lack of stuff in the museum.‎ ‎35. The last paragraph implies that______.‎ A. paintings should be explained in the museum ‎ B. the blind depend on touch to live C. the blind like to touch the exhibits ‎ D. the exhibition has been a huge success 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Boosting your Brain Power Who hasn’t wished that they were just a little smarter? Maybe you’re in school and just want to get a better grade on a test. 36 Here are some ways you can go about boosting your brainpower. ‎ Sleep is one of the easiest things to do, yet one of the ones that most of us don’t do. We live in a busy age and often it seems that we don’t have enough time to get everything done. So many of us sacrifice our hours of sleep to accomplish our daily tasks. 37 ‎ Read a book. Being smarter is not only about thinking but knowledge plays a big part in it, too. Reading helps your brain stay active. 38 Think of it as exercise for the brain. ‎ Try turning off that television set and going for a walk. A walk will stimulate your body and relax your mind. Just as watching too much TV can hurt your body, it also causes your brain to slow down as well. ‎ ‎ 39 There is a big difference between knowing something and being able to teach it to someone else. There is nothing like trying to break something down into simpler terms for others to help you understand it better than you did before. ‎ Work on a puzzle. It can be anything from the newspaper crossword or the new Sudoku ‎ puzzle. Puzzles help you use your brain to figure out the answers. 40 Your brain needs exercise just like your body does to be able to function in top form. ‎ So go out there and boost your brainpower, your mind will thank you. ‎ A. By writing about things you know, it helps you to understand them better.‎ B. Learn something new and then teach someone else how to do it. ‎ C. Skipping meals can make it harder for you to think and perform at your best.‎ D. Giving your body the rest it needs every night can boost your ability to function at your best the next day.‎ E. Maybe you want to show your boss that you are good enough to get a promotion. ‎ F. Crossword puzzles also have the added benefit of increasing your vocabulary and knowledge.‎ G. The more you read, the more you know, and the smarter you will be.‎ 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1. 5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ I was feeling a little blue because my mother had been laid off from her job and she had lots of bills to pay.

I walked over and put some money in her 50 and she said, “Thank you.” Instead of continuing my way home, I said to her, “I have been going through a 51 time lately, but you’ve made me 52 again.”‎ ‎“I’m happy that I could help, “ she replied.” Why are you so 53 ?”‎ ‎“Well, my mum told me she had got 54 from her job, and that made me sad.
