And the Good Morning Britain presenter says she’s been able to put a lot of what she’s learned into practice in her own home, preparing meals for sons, Sam,14, Finn,13, and Jack, 11.‎ ‎"We love Mexican churros, so I buy them on my phone from my local Mexican takeaway restaurant," she explains. "I pay £5 for a portion(一份), but Matt makes them for 26p a portion, because they are flour, water, sugar and oil. Everybody can buy takeaway food, but sometimes we’re not aware how cheaply we can make this food ourselves. "‎ The eight-part series(系列节自), Save Money: Good Food, follows in the footsteps of ITV’s Save Money: Good Health, which gave viewers advice on how to get value from the ‎ vast range of health products on the market.‎ With food our biggest weekly household expense, Susanna and Matt spend time with a different family each week.

These colourful and sweet jewels form British Columbia’s fields are little powerhouses of nutritional protection.‎ Of the common berries, strawberries are highest in vitamin C, although, because of their seeds, raspberries contain a little more protein (蛋白质), iron and zinc (not that fruits have much protein). Blueberries are particularly high in antioxidants (抗氧化物质). The yellow ‎ and orange stone fruits such as peaches are high in the carotenoids we turn into vitamin A and which are antioxidants. As for cherries (樱桃), they are so delicious who cares? However, they are rich in vitamin C.‎ When combined with berries of slices of other fruits, frozen bananas make an excellent base for thick, cooling fruit shakes and low fat “ice cream”. For this purpose, select ripe bananas for freezing as they are much sweeter. Remove the skin and place them in plastic bags or containers and freeze. If you like, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on the bananas will prevent them turning brown. Frozen bananas will last several weeks, depending on their ripeness and the temperature of the freezer.‎ If you have a juicer, you can simply feed in frozen bananas and some berries or sliced fruit. Out comes a “soft-serve” creamy dessert, to be eaten right away. This makes a fun activity for a children’s party; they love feeding the fruit and frozen bananas into the top of the machine and watching the ice cream come out below.‎ ‎28. What does the author seem to like about cherries?‎ A. They have a pleasant taste. B. They are high in vitamin A.‎ C. They contain protein. D. They are rich in antioxidants.‎ ‎29. Why is fresh lemon juice used in freezing bananas?‎ A. To make them smell better. B. To improve their nutrition.‎ C. To speed up their ripening. D. To keep their colour.‎ ‎30. What is “a juicer” in the last paragraph?‎ A. A dessert. B. A machine.‎ C. A container. D. A drink.‎ ‎31. From which is the text probably taken?‎ A. A biology textbook. B. A research paper. ‎ C. A health magazine. D.A travel brochure.‎ D If someone asked you to quantify (衡量) the time you spend online, how would you answer? If you’re like one-fifth of Americans, you’d likely say “almost constantly.” New ‎ research shows that 21 percent of Americans report that they’re online more or less constantly.‎ Andrew Perrin, a research assistant at Pew, did a survey about Internet use. During the survey, adults were asked how much they go online. 13 percent said they don’t go online and 13 percent said they go online several times a week or less. Only 10 percent said they go online once a day and much larger quantities said they go online several times a day (42 percent) or “almost constantly” (21 percent).‎ Interestingly, there wasn’t a gender split (性别分化) when it came to near constant Internet use. Age seems to be the great divider: Only six percent of people over 65 said they were online that much. Those who reported that they were online all the time included 12 percent of 50- to 64-year-olds, 28 percent of 30- to 49-year-olds and 36 percent of 18- to 29-year-olds.‎ Don’t suppose that teenagers are online more than adults, however. In another survey, Pew found that while they did have a slight edge on adults in general when it came to “almost constant” Internet use, 24 percent said they were online pretty much all the time. They still fell greatly behind the 36 percent of adults between 18 and 29 years of age who were always online.‎ Given that the United Nations considers unrestricted (无限制的) Internet access (接入) to be a human right, the number of Americans who report being online “almost constantly” could rise along with availability and affordability. But it remains to be seen whether being online all the time is actually something to long for, or how constant connectivity will affect American culture in the long term.‎ ‎32. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?‎ A. The aim of the survey. B. The results of the survey.‎ C. Why the survey mattered. D. How the survey was carried out.‎ ‎33. According to the text, most “almost constant” Internet users are _____.‎ A. women between 30 and 49 years old B. men over 50 years old C.Teenagers D. adults between 18 and 29 years old ‎34. The underlined part “have a slight edge on” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _____.‎ A. have an advantage over B. have power over ‎ C. have a very bad effect on D. have nothing in common with ‎35. The author showed his concern about _____. ‎ A. the affordability of Internet use B. the availability of unrestricted Internet access C. the effect constant Internet use may have on culture D. the health problems constant Internet use may cause 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。‎ ‎ If anyone had told me three years ago that I would be spending most of my weekends camping. I would have laughed heartily. Campers, in my eyes, were people who enjoyed insect bites, ill-cooked meals, and uncomfortable sleeping bags. They had nothing in common with me.     36    The friends who introduced me to camping thought that it meant to be a pioneer.     37    We sleep in a tent, cooked over an open fire, and walked a long distance to take the shower and use the bathroom. This brief visit with Mother Nature cost me two days off from work, recovering from a bad case of sunburn and the doctor’s bill for my son’s food poisoning. I was, nevertheless, talked into going on another fun-filled holiday in the wilderness.   38    Instead, we had a pop-up camper with comfortable beds and an air conditioner. My nature-loving friends had remembered to bring all the necessities of life.    39    We have done a lot of it since. Recently, we bought a twenty-eight-foot travel trailer complete with a bathroom and a built-in TV set. There is a separate bedroom, a modern kitchen with a refrigerator. The trailer even has matching carpet and curtains.    40 It must be true that sooner or later, everyone finds his or her way back to nature. I recommend that you find your way in style. A．I must say that I have certainly come to enjoy camping.  B．Things are going to be improved. C．I was to learn a lot about camping since then, however.‎ D．The trip they took me on was a rough one.‎ E．After the trip, my family became quite interested in camping.‎ F. This time there was no tent. G. There was no shade as the trees were no more than 3 feet tall. ‎ 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，掌握其大意，然后从所给的A、B、C、D中四个选项，选出最佳选项。 ‎ As a boy I was always small for my age. I was five years younger than one of my brothers and seven years younger than the other. 41 , I often felt left out when their friends came over to 42 . I was too 43 for whatever they were doing and they didn’t want me to listen to their conversations either. More often than not I found myself outside playing 44 and feeling forgotten.‎ I remember one Spring afternoon I felt especially 45 as I sat in the yard behind our house. We lived miles from town and I 46 saw my own friends outside of school. I 47 my brothers laughing from 48 the house and felt a single tear coming down my face. At that moment I saw a large brown dog 49 me. He was wagging (摇摆) his tail 50 . He greeted me like a long lost 51 , licking (舔) my hand and sitting beside me on the grass, 52 he didn’t know me. I petted and 53 this four-legged angel (天使). He let me pour out all my troubles and 54 my deepest thoughts before he kissed me goodbye. I went back inside feeling happy, 55 that no matter what life might hold I was loved. I 56 that the dog was sent in that moment of 57 to remind me just how much I was loved.‎ In truth, nothing brings us greater 58 than knowing we are loved.

Now, let me tell you about it.‎ ‎ When invited to a Chinese friend’s home, you should arrive a little earlier so that you can help the family prepare the dinner. At the same time, a proper gift should be brought with you to show respect for the host. Besides, you should pay attention to some table manners. The appropriate thing to do would be to eat the whatever-it-is and say how delicious it is. If you feel uncomfortable with this, you can just say a polite “thank you” and leave the food there. Never stick your chopsticks upright in the rice bowl, instead, lay them on your dish. Otherwise, it’s thought extremely impolite. The reason for this is that it seems to mean a sacrifice to the dead.‎ ‎ All in all, “When in China, do as the Chinese do ” is your best choice.‎ ‎ Best wishes!‎ ‎ Yours,‎ ‎ Li Hua
