Like his father Thorvald Asvaldson he also killed several men in personal quarrels, one concerning the death of some of his slaves, and another concerning some wood working tools. Following these killings, he had to leave Iceland for three years. Eric lived and explored in Greenland for the full three years of his banishment ( 流放 ) from Iceland. Realizing the habitable Greenland, he returned to Iceland. He persuaded 25 ships to be with him on a mission to colonize this new land. Some turned back and others were lost at sea, but Eric arrived in Greenland with about 14 ships, and around 500 settlers. The colony prospered, and Eric became a rich leader. Therefore, Eric was regarded as the discoverer of America. Eric's son Lief was a strong leader, and an explorer himself. He sailed west and found rich lands there which he named Vinland, but soon after he returned to Greenland, the island was going through a plague ( 疽疫 ) brought from Iceland, and many of its settlers, including Eric the Red, died. Once Greenland might have reached around 3000~4000 inhabitants, but the dreams of settling further west came to little as the Greenlanders struggled to survive in their awful environment which worsened with a cooling cycle. Several hundred years after Eric and Lief the Greenlanders were cut off from Europe, the colder climate brought the Innuit peoples south, and into fight with the Vikings that survived in the terrible conditions. Around a hundred years before Columbus "discovered America", the colony in Greenland failed to support itself. No one knows if there were any survivors where they left. 24. What can be inferred about Eric the Red from Paragraph l? A. Eric the Red often lent his wood working tools to other people. B. Eric the Red got his name because of his appearance and temper. C. Eric the Red often had quarrels with his father and other people. D. Eric the Red was born in a rich family and lived a happy childhood. 25. Why did Eric the Red return to Iceland? A. Because he wanted to find his past enemy and kill them. B. Because he was willing to help the local inhabitants. C. Because he wanted to colonize the habitable Greenland. D. Because he was ordered to return according to the law. 26. What led to the death of the inhabitants on Vinland? A. Fights against the invaders. B. Some natural disasters. C. The terrible weather there. D. An unexpected disease. 27. Why did Lief's hope of settling further west failed in the end'? A. Because Lief was killed in the fight with the Innuit peoples. B. Because the environment there was awfully terrible. C. Because the Greenlanders were cut off from Europe. D. Because no one was willing to move westwards. C Culture shock is the feelings one experiences after leaving their familiar, home culture to live 3 in another cultural or social environment. It is also the feelings that result from losing all familiar signs and symbols of social communication. Culture shock has three to five phases (阶段 ), depending on the ability to adapt to it. The Honeymoon Phase is the first phrase. This is a fun time when one faces a new environment. Everything is great, exciting, and new. You welcome the differences. This phase can last days, weeks, or months among different persons. The Honeymoon is Over Phase. During this phase, you're noticing differences, and usually not in a good way. You begin to complain about many things there. There's no set time when this begins - with some people, it can be within days, with others months. During this phase, a person often feels anxious, angry, frustrated, or sad, having difficulty concentrating on their new job. The Negotiation ( 胁商 ) Phase. As above, there is no set time in which this begins. Basically, you decide whether you will give in to negativity (淌极性 )or adjust to make the most of your experience. If you're successful in this period, you regain your sense of balance and humor, and move on to the next phase. The All's Well, or Everything is OK Phase. Those who arrive at this phase feel more at home with the differences in the new culture. The person may feel as if the culture isn't in fact new, but they are comfortable enough with it to enjoy the differences and challenges. The person doesn't have to be in love with the new country as in the honeymoon phase, but they can enjoy themselves there. The Reverse (额倒的 ) Culture Shock Phase. Sure enough, this can happen! Once a person has become accustomed to the way things are done in a different country, he can go through the same series of culture shock phases when he returns home. 28. The author begins this text by ______. A. describing a special case B. giving a scientific conception C. raising a series of questions D. presenting a typical phenomenon 29. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2? A. Everyone will experience the same phases during culture shock. B. People often live with bad or harmful feelings in the first phrase. C. The length of the first phase c:an be different from person to person. D. A person is often unwilling to try new things in the Honeymoon Phase. 30. The Honeymoon is Over Phase is similar to The Negotiation Phase in that ______. A. Both of them starts without a fixed time B. One usually focuses a lot on the negativity C. a person always feels frustrated, angry or sad D. people can stay humorous and feel balanced 31. Which of the following shows one is experiencing the fourth phase? A. Being curious and excited about everything new. B. Feeling dissatisfied with many things he meets with. C. Unable to return to normal when he gets back home. D. Willing to accept the difference and enjoys the challenge. D Celebrity ( 名人 )chef Jamie Oliver thinks it's time for a revolution, one that takes place right on 4 your plate. Today is the fourth annual Food Revolution Day, a day of healthy-eating awareness. It is part of his global campaign to make schools around the world teach healthy cooking and eating as a must of their curriculums. "I think that all you guys, should be taught how to cook delicious, fresh food from scratch-not complicated food, but nice, simple, everyday meals that are going to inspire, uplift, and make you and your future families live happier, healthier lives," Oliver told TFK in an e-mail. Citing the global statistic that 42 million children under the age of five are overweight, Oliver believes that this right is more important than ever. Part of Oliver's goal with this year's Food Revolution Day is to get one-and-a-half million people to sign his online petition ( 请愿书 ) for food education. Along with Oliver, musicians Ed Sheeran and Paul McCartney are urging people to read the petition, sign it, and share it to help reach their goal. The School Food Plan was created to address the problem. It took effect in 2013 and requires the UK's 22,000 schools to serve healthy lunches while making food education a required part of classroom education for students age 5~14. Free school lunches are also provided for all 5-year-olds, 6-year-olds, and 7-year-olds under this plan. Students at Charlton Manor Primary School get a cooking lesson in their school kitchen. Baker had always believed in the importance of teaching healthy eating, and wanted to share his beliefs with students. He says the School Food Plan helped him put pressure on school food providers to improve food quality and healthiness. "The School Food Plan has been inspiring," Jamie Oliver says. "I'm hoping we're at a point where the UK can take the lead on food education, and as we start to see more and more British kids with a real knowledge and understanding of food and cooking, I see other countries starting to follow us." 32. What's the aim of Food Revolution Day? A. To obtain basic human rights. B. To promote a healthy lifestyle. C. To make eating at school more fun. D. To raise people's healthy-eating awareness. 33. We can learn from Paragraph 5 that the online petition ______. A. has existed for two years B. involves millions of persons C. is launched by two musicians D. provides free food education course 34. The underlined word "address" in Paragraph 6 most probably means ______. A. come across B. went for C. deal with D. look after 35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Food Revolution Day B. A Big Online Petition C. Green School Kitchen Plan 5 D. A Great Move in Keeping Healthy 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人空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该 项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Better Manage Money Financial problems can easily surface if left unmanaged. 36 Here are some simple ways to improve your money management. Record all your expenses. Put down your expenses under areas such as car payment, electric bill, grocery, entertainment, study and other expense categories. 37 Review the unexpected expenses each month. 38 Eat out less, shop for cheaper items such as insurance or medication, or join in less expensive activities. The rule to remember is if you can't pay it with cash, you can't afford it. 39 Financial experts advise that the amount be at least 10 percent of your pay.

If you have to, use them as little as possible and be sure that credit card you're using has a low interest rate. Stay away from short cuts to wealth or get rich quick plans. You can never prosper by short cuts like gambling and lottery. 40 You just end up throwing your money away. Seek a financial adviser to help you plan your finances and investments.
