Some people think that water ices and milk ices may have been made by the Chinese between three thousand and a thousand years ago. In that time, the dish reached India. The Indians, in turn, many have passed on the secret to the Arabs and Persians.‎ Marco Polo, an Italian who travelled widely in the thirteenth century, noted that he found the Chinese had long been making ices out of fruit juices and milk. From the fourteenth century on, ices became popular first in Venice and then throughout Italy.‎ In 1535, when Catherine de Medeicis left Italy to marry the future King Herry II of France, she took her cooks with her. They made desserts the French had never tasted before, which was ice cream.‎ At first ice cream was a luxury in France. Only rich people had the money to buy it. Then, in 1660, a young man from Sicily, Francisco Procopio, arrived in Paris. He opened a shop that sold ice cream at prices people could afford. Then his 14 / 14‎ ‎ ice cream became so popular that other shops were opened.‎ About 1640, King Charles introduced ice cream to England and soon ice cream quickly became popular in England too.‎ ‎1．Ice cream was unknown in France until ________.‎ A. 1535 B. 1660 C. 1640 D. 1774‎ ‎2．Ice cream was introduced to England by _________.‎ A.

The kind of tragedy which knocks you out of yourself and turns your whole world upside down. A tragedy which also caused me to be out of work for three months. It was completely unforeseen and I had no time to put together an out-of-office plan.‎ I’ve worked at previous companies where this kind of tragedy would have been handled professionally; I would have been given the legally—required money and asked to leave. But at SAS Institute (an American developer of analytics software), my team stepped in and filled in with no questions or hesitations. My work was not left undone. My clients were patient when those picking up the pieces of projects unrelated to them needed some time to get familiar with the work. My management and colleagues checked on my family regularly. At last, my manager, my entire team and Human Resources Department helped me back to work at my own pace. They even changed my workspace over a weekend to better suit my personal needs before I even came back to work.‎ You see, SAS creates a family. The special attention to employee happiness and work/life balance makes that family possible. The flexible work environment enables most employees to create a schedule that best suits their personal needs—whether it’s attending a school play or taking an aging parent to the doctor. The Work/Life Office has a wealth 14 / 14‎ ‎ of resources for college planning, anger management, sorrow, etc. But, as you can see, it doesn’t stop there. Most employees believe that SAS is their family. We rely on each other. We help each other succeed. We celebrate team successes. We hang out after work. Our kids play together. We laugh together and cry together.‎ Sure, we have a lot of convenience benefits at SAS. But, what really makes a difference to me is the SAS culture that the outside world doesn’t always see: The balance. The companionship. The management support. The family it allows me to have.‎ I’m so eager for others to see the side of SAS that I see every day.‎ ‎9. After the tragedy, the author .‎ A. changed his job B. felt very hopeless C. was sick for three months D. turned to his colleagues for help ‎10. What did the author’s colleagues do for him during his absence?‎ A. They raised money to help him.‎ B. They visited his family every weekend.‎ C. They asked his clients to wait for him to return.‎ D. They moved his office desk to a convenient place.‎ ‎11．By saying the underlined words “SAS creates a family” in Paragraph 3, the author means .‎ A. the employees feel at home at SAS ‎ B. SAS often organizes family get-togethers C. many SAS employees have become couples D. the offices at SAS are decorated like families ‎12．The author writes the text mainly to .‎ A. tell his life experience ‎ B. introduce SAS culture C. encourage people to join SAS ‎ D. explain the importance of family D The old traditional saying about sleeping with one eye open in an unfamiliar place may not be too far off the mark.‎ 14 / 14‎ ‎ Over the course of three experiments on 35 young and healthy volunteers, researchers in a new study measured brain activity during two continuous nights of sleep.‎ Sasaki and colleagues performed a series of lab tests by stimulating the left and then the right hemisphere(大脑的半球)with sounds. On the second night, there wasn’t any difference in reactions to tests between the left and right hemispheres, even during deep sleep. This suggests that there is a first-night-only effect specifically in one hemisphere of the brain during deep sleep, the authors conclude. The way participants responded to the sleep lab tests points to the potential for the brain to be on high alert for danger during the first night in unfamiliar surroundings. While this may be bad news for business travelers who regularly make brief overnight trips, it may not be as troublesome for people who go away for longer periods of time, Sasaki added by email. “Frequent travel may lead to unrestful sleep,” Sasaki said. “But if you stay for a few days at the same place, your sleep might catch up.”‎ Some birds have been found to actually sleep with one eye open and one side of the brain awake when they’re in a dangerous setting, and some marine mammals have similar abilities, the authors note. But the new study focuses on healthy volunteers but not people with insomnia or other sleep disorders, the authors note.‎ ‎“The clinical implications haven’t been confirmed at the moment,” Finan, a psychiatry (精神医学)and behavioral health researcher said. “However, the level of specificity provided by these analyses could be an important first step in understanding what sleep disorders like insomnia(失眠) arise from, which is thought to be driven in many patients by continuing having a lot of worries.”‎ ‎13．What do the underlined words “may not be too far off the mark” in Paragraph 1 mean?‎ A. may make sense B. may be ridiculous.‎ C. may cause arguments D. may be disturbing.‎ 14 / 14‎ ‎14．What can we know from Paragraph 2?‎ A. People are used to waking up and going to bed early when travelling.‎ B. Business travelers usually have a brief sleep at night.‎ C. It brings much trouble to those who stay far away from their homes.‎ D. It takes time for people to adapt themselves to a new environment.‎ ‎15．According to Finan, the study is helpful in ________.‎ A. finding out the root cause of sleep disorders B. telling the effect of worries on sleep disorders C. comforting as many patients with sleep disorders as possible D. offering ways to free the patients from the suffering of sleep disorders 第二节 （共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。‎ Have you ever had the following experience?
