The food was lovely and the service was quite good. We chose to eat in the garden which was full of beautiful flowers and very relaxing. The only disappointment was the dessert — the apple pie was far too sweet and it was cold too. Apart from that it was an enjoyable evening. As for the price — what a bargain, excellent value for money!‎ Park Inn The best thing about Park Inn was the service — it was excellent. There was a warm welcome when we arrived and the waiters were very helpful all evening. However, the food wasn’t as good. The menu looked interesting but the meals were rather tasteless. It’s not a cheap restaurant and I wasn’t happy to pay so much for boring food.‎ Richard’s Place When we entered the restaurant, we were surprised by the lovely interior (内部的) design of it. So stylish, so modern! This is one of the most popular restaurants in town and it’s very easy to see why. The food was great and excellent value for money but it was ruined by very, very poor service!‎ The ‎Riverside It was lovely sitting outside and looking over the river. There were lots of little lanterns (灯笼) and colored lights everywhere and it all looked very pretty. The food was good, nothing very special but quite tasty. The service was OK; we didn’t have to wait too long for our food but the waiter never looked very happy! It’s quite an expensive place but with the view I think it’s quite good value for money.‎ ‎21. In which restaurant can customers eat in the garden?‎ A. Park Inn.‎ B. The Orchard.‎ C. The Riverside.‎ D. Richard’s Place.‎ ‎22. What makes the customers of Park Inn most satisfied?‎ A. The food.‎ B. The price.‎ C. The service.‎ D. The environment.‎ ‎23. In Richard’s Place, customers can _____.‎ A. receive good service B. enjoy its modern design C. listen to wonderful music D. enjoy the beauty of a river ‎[B]‎ A man who spent nine months sleeping on the streets has turned his life around — and now delivers two tonnes of food to homeless people every week.‎ Mark Harvey has set up City Harvest and collects unused food from restaurants and supermarkets that is then given to those in need.‎ The life as a business owner is a world away from Mark’s previous (之前的) life, which saw his marriage break down after losing his job as a successful cameraman. The 51-year-old soon found himself homeless and was forced to sleep on the streets for nine months in 2006.‎ Mark soon realised he didn’t have the strength to spend another cold night sleeping in the open — and he knew it was time to get help and rebuild his life.‎ Soon after being helped into a hostel he was introduced to a man who ran a soup kitchen that collected food to make meals for the homeless. Mark is a good driver so he helped collect wasted food and redistribute (重新分配) it to the soup kitchen.‎ When the service came to a stop 8 years later, Mark had built up the contacts he needed to run his own business. He said: “I was hiring a van and doing my own redistribution. I would ask some of the charities I dropped off at to make a small donation (捐款) as well to cover some of the costs.”‎ Slowly, Mark’s Acton-based charity has grown from strength to strength and he now has a board of directors and a team of 21 volunteers. The team collect food from ‎ Nando’s, Morrisons, Marks & Spencer, and even Gourmet Burger Kitchen, and then redistribute it to the Salvation Army, St Mungo’s, Ealing Soup Kitchen and many more charities, covering almost the whole of London.‎ Now City Harvest is on a money-raising drive so they can employ another driver, and get food delivered to even more people.‎ ‎24. What was “Mark’s previous life” like?‎ A. Successful.‎ B. Peaceful.‎ C. Busy.‎ D. Hard.‎ ‎25. When did Mark start his own business?‎ A. In 2006.‎ B. In 2008.‎ C. In 2014.‎ D. In 2015.‎ ‎26. What’s the main work of City Harvest?‎ A. Raising money for charities.‎ B. Delivering food for restaurants.‎ C. Collecting wasted food and giving it to charities.‎ D. Making meals for the homeless with wasted food.‎ ‎27. What will City Harvest probably do in the near future?‎ A. Form a board of directors.‎ B. Increase the number of its members.‎ C. Build up contacts with more large restaurants.‎ D. Enlarge its service area to cover the whole of London.‎ C I was asked by a reader recently why so many animals seem to have pink ears, when their bodies are all different colours? The truth is that most animals actually don’t have pink ears. Let us explain.‎ Near the equator (赤道), where the climate is hot, animals are likely to have darker skin, including on their ears. Think of the African elephant, which has quite dark ears. In colder climates, skin colour is usually lighter and often pink. ‎ Why is skin colour different in different climates? Skin pigmentation, which is what gives skin its colour, can protect against sunburn and skin cancer (癌症). When animals live in colder parts of the world, they don’t need it as much to survive. Light-coloured skin also helps animals stay warmer because it reduces heat loss, which is useful if you’re in a colder climate.‎ For most animals, the colour of their fur or other body covering has generally developed as camouflage. That allows animals to mix into the background and avoid being eaten, or for predators (捕食者) to remain hidden during hunting. One example is the sandy-coloured coat of the desert fennec fox, which uses camouflage for both hunting and hiding.‎ By the way, in many animals, ears come in many different shapes and sizes. For example, in bats, the serval (a type of African wildcat) and the fennec fox, the ears are large compared to their body size — this helps them hear better because it allows them to sense more sound waves. Naked mole-rats have tiny ears because they need to dig a lot. Big ears would get in the way. The other downside of big ears is that you can lose a lot of body heat. That’s why animals that live in really cold places, like the Arctic fox, have quite small ears.‎ ‎28. Who is the author most likely to be?‎ A. A teacher.‎ B. A librarian.‎ C. A zoo worker.‎ D. A science writer.‎ ‎29. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?‎ A. Sunlight.‎ B. Camouflage.‎ C. Skin pigmentation.‎ D. Light-coloured skin.‎ ‎30. Which animal uses its skin colour to protect itself from being eaten?‎ A. The Arctic fox. ‎ B. The naked mole-rat.‎ C. The African elephant. ‎ D. The desert fennec fox.‎ ‎31. What do we know about animals living in cold places?‎ A. They usually have small light-coloured ears.‎ B. They know ways to store body heat.‎ C. They need big ears to keep warm.‎ D. They usually have good hearing.‎ D As a young boy, I knew what people said was not always what they meant or were feeling. And I knew it was possible to get others to do what I wanted if I read their real feelings and responded suitably to their needs. At the age of eleven, I sold sponge rubber (泡沫橡胶) door-to-door after school and quickly worked out how to tell if someone was likely to buy from me. When I knocked on a door, if someone told me to go away but their hands were open and they showed their palms (the inside surfaces of their hands), I knew it was safe to continue with my presentation (展示) because they weren’t angry or threatening although they may have a dismissive (不屑的) attitude. If someone told me to go away in a soft voice but used a pointed finger or closed hand, I knew it was time to leave.‎ As a teenager, I became a pots and pans (炊具) salesperson, and my ability to read people earned me enough money to buy my first house. Selling gave me the chance to meet people and study them close and to know whether they would buy or not, simply by watching their body language.‎ I joined the life insurance business at the age of twenty. And I went on to break several sales records for my company, becoming the youngest person to sell over a million dollars’ worth of business in my first year. This achievement allowed me to become a member of the well-known Million Dollar Round Table (MDRT, which ‎ recognizes the world’s top achievers in life insurance). I was lucky that the skills I’d learned as a boy in watching body language while selling pots and pans could be used in this new area, and were directly related to the success I could have in any business closely connected with people.‎ ‎32. Which of the following meant the author must go away?‎ A. A customer’s soft voice.‎ B. A customer’s pointed finger.‎ C. A customer’s open palms.‎ D. A customer’s dismissive expression.‎ ‎33. What is the “new area” mentioned in the last paragraph?‎ A. The study of selling products.‎ B. The life insurance business.‎ C. The pots and pans industry.‎ D. The work for the MDRT.‎ ‎34. What was the key to the author’s success?‎ A. Listening to customers’ words.‎ B. Understanding customers’ habits.‎ C. Trying to satisfy customers’ needs.‎ D. Reading customers’ body language.‎ ‎35. How does the text mainly develop?‎ A. By following the order of time.‎ B. By giving clear explanations.‎ C. By giving well-known examples.‎ D. By following the order of importance.‎ 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。‎ Why camp is great for children If you’ve been to camp, you’re not surprised to hear about the advantages of summer camp.
