To the Egyptians, green was a color that represented the hope and joy of spring, while for Muslims, it means heaven. Red is a symbol of good luck in many cultures. In China, children are given money in a red envelope to bring good fortune in the New Year. For many nations, blue is a symbol of protection and religious beliefs. Greek people often wear a blue necklace hoping to protect themselves against evils(灾祸).‎ ‎    People’s choice of colors is also influenced by their bodies’ reactions (反应)toward them. Green is said to be the most restful color. It has the ability to reduce pain and relax people both mentally and physically. People who work in green environment have been found to have fewer stomach aches.‎ ‎    Red can cause a person’s blood pressure to rise and increase people’s appetites(食欲). Many decorators will include different shades of red in the restaurant. Similarly, many commercial websites will have a red “Buy Now” button because red is a color that easily catches a person’s eye.‎ ‎    Blue is another calming color. Unlike red, blue can cause people to lose appetite. So if you want to eat less, some suggest that eating from blue plates can help.‎ ‎    The next time you are deciding on what to wear or what color to decorate your room, think about the color carefully.‎ ‎21.Muslims regard green as a symbol of heaven mainly because of their ______.

This meeting would decide his future life, and he obviously knew it.‎ ‎    "You may wonder, Sir Percival," said Laura calmly, "if I am going to ask to be released (免除)from my promise to marry you. I am not going to ask this. I respect my father's wishes too much."His face relaxed a little, but one of his feet kept beating the carpet.‎ ‎    "No, if we are going to withdraw.(退出) from our planned marriage, it will be because of your wish, not mine.‎ ‎    “Mine?” he said in great surprise. "What reason could I have for withdrawing?’"‎ ‎    "A reason that is very hard to tell you," she answered. "There is a change in me. ”His face went so pale that even his lips lost their color. He turned his head to one side."What change?" he asked, trying to appear calm.‎ ‎    “ When the promise was made two years ago, ” she said, “my love did not belong to ‎ anyone. Will you forgive me, Sir Percival, if I tell you that it now belongs to another person?”‎ ‎    "I wish you to understand," Laura continued, "that I will never see this person again, and that if you leave me, you only allow me to remain a single woman for the rest of my life. All I ask is that you forgive me and keep my secret."‎ ‎    "‘I will do both those things, " he said. Then he looked at Laura, as if he was waiting to hear more."I think I have said enough to give you reason to withdraw from our marriage, " she added quietly." No. You have said enough to make it the dearest wish of my life to marry you," he said.‎ ‎25.How did Percival feel during his meeting with Laura? A. Angry. B. Calm. C. Nervous. D. Excited.‎ ‎26.We can learn from the passage that                .‎ A. Laura had once promised to marry Percival B. Laura's father wished to end her marriage C.

With the coming of new technologies like computers and smartphones, writing by hand has become something of nostalgic (怀旧的)skill. However, while today’s educators are using more and more technology in their teaching, many believe basic handwriting skills are still necessary for students to be successful---both in school and in life.‎ ‎    Virginia Berninger, professor of educational psychology at the University‎ of ‎Washington, says it’s important to continue teaching handwriting and help children acquire the skill of writing by hand.‎ ‎    Berninger and her colleagues conducted a study that looked at the ability of students to complete various writing tasks---both on a computer and by hand. The study, published in 2009, found that when writing with a pen and paper, participants wrote longer essays and more complete sentences and had a faster word production rate.‎ ‎    In a more recent study, Berninger looked at what role spelling plays in a student’s writing skills and found that how well children spell is tied to how well they can write. “Spelling makes some of the thinking parts of the brain active which helps us access our vocabulary, word meaning and concepts. It is allowing our written language to connect with ideas.” Berninger said.‎ ‎    Spelling helps students translate ideas into words in their mind first and then to transcribe(转换)“those words in the mind written symbols on paper or keyboard and screen,” the study said. Seeing the words in the “mind’s eye” helps children not only to turn their ideas into words, says Berninger, but also to spot spelling mistakes when they write the words down and to correct then over time.‎ ‎    “In our computer age, some people believe that we don’t have to teach spelling because we have spell checks,” she said. “But until a child functional spelling ability of about a fifth grade level, they won't have knowledge to choose the correct spelling among the options given by the computer.”‎ ‎28.What makes writing by hand a thing of the past? A. The absence of blackboard in classroom. B. The use of new technologies in teaching. C. The lack of practice in handwriting. D. The popular use of smartphones. 29.Berninger’s study published in 2009 ______. A. focused on the difference between writing by hand and on a computer B. indicated that students prefer to write with a pen and paper C. found that good essays are made up of long sentences D. discussed the importance of writing speed 30.Which of the following best shows the role of spelling? A. Spelling improves one’s memory of words. B. Spelling ability is closely related to writing ability. C. Spelling benefits the translation from words into ideas. D. Spelling slows down finding exact words to express ideas. 31.What does “mind’s eye” in paragraph 5 mean? ‎ ‎ A. Window. B. Soul C. Picture D. Imagination.‎ D ‎ To take the apple as a forbidden fruit is the most unlikely story the Christians (基督教徒)ever cooked up. For them, the forbidden fruit from Eden is evil (邪恶的). So when Columbus brought the tomato back from South America, a land mistakenly considered to be Eden, everyone jumped to the obvious conclusion. Wrongly taken as the apple of Eden, the tomato was shut out of the door of Europeans.       What made it particularly terrifying was its similarity to the mandrake, a plant that was thought to have come from Hell (地狱). What earned the plant its awful reputation was its roots which looked like a dried-up human body occupied by evil spirits. Though the tomato and the mandrake were quite different except that both had bright red or yellow fruit, the general population considered them one and the same, too terrible to touch.       Cautious Europeans long ignored the tomato, and until the early 1700s most of the Western people continued to drag their feet. In the 1880s, the daughter of a well-known plant expert wrote that the most interesting part of an afternoon tea at her father’s house had been the “introduction of this wonderful new fruit — or is it a vegetable?”As late as the twentieth century some writers still classed tomatoes with mandrakes as an “evil fruit”.       But in the end tomatoes carried the day. The hero of the tomato was an American named Robert Johnson, and when he was publicly going to eat the tomato in 1820, people journeyed for hundreds of miles to watch him drop dead. “What are you afraid of?” he shouted. “I’ll show you fools these things are good to eat!” Then he bit into the tomato. Some people fainted. But he survived and, according to a local story, set up a tomato-canning factory. 32.The tomato was shut out of the door of early Europeans mainly because                   . A. it made Christian evil B. it was the apple of Eden C. it came from a forbidden land D. it was religiously unacceptable 33.What can we infer from the underlined part in Paragraph 3? A. The process of ignoring the tomato slowed down. B. There was little progress in the study of the tomato. C. The tomato was still refused in most western countries. D. Most western people continued to get rid of the tomato. ‎ ‎34.What is the main reason for Robert Johnson to eat the tomato publicly? A. To make himself a hero. B. To remove people’s fear of the tomato. C. To speed up the popularity of the tomato. D. To persuade people to buy products from his factory. 35.What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To challenge peopled fixed concept of the tomato. B. To give an explanation to peopled dislike of the tomato. C. To present the change of people’s attitudes to the tomato. D. To show the process of freeing the tomato from religious influence.‎ 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。‎ ‎ Tips for Cooking on a Tight Schedule ‎     From my experience, there are three main reasons why people don’t cook more often: ability, money, and time. ____36______Money is a topic I'll save for another day. So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen. Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule :‎ ‎    1.Think ahead. The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I'm already hungry and there’s nothing ready to eat. So think ahead of the coming week. When will you have time to cook? Do you have the right materials already? _____37_____‎ ‎     2.Make your time worth it. When you do find time to cook a meal, make the most of it and save yourself time later on. Are you making one loaf of bread?  _____38_____It takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. So save yourself the effort for a future meal.‎ ‎     3. _____39_____This may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation. It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule. The more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.‎ ‎     Hopefully that gives you a good start.  ____40______And don’t let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!‎ A. Try new things.‎ B. Ability is easily improved.‎ C. Make three or four instead.‎ D. Understand your food better.‎ E. Cooking is a burden for many people.‎ F.
