Passage 1
It was a cold grey day in late November, and although it was now only a little after
two
o’clock in the afternoon, the dark of a winter evening seemed to have come down
over the hills, hiding them in mist(薄雾). The air was cold, and in spite of the
tightly closed windows it found its way into the coach. The few passengers sat close
together for warmth. Mary Yellan was sitting where the drops of rain came through
the crack in the roof. She brushed them away with impatient fingers. Although she
was only 40 miles by road from what had been her home for 23 years, she was already
beginning to miss it. The courage which was so large a part of her, and had helped
her so much during the long unhappiness of her mother’s illness and death, was
now
shaken
by this rain and wind.
She remembered a letter from her aunt. The writer said that the news had shocked
her; that she had had no idea that her sister was ill, because it was many years
since she had been in Helford. And she went on: “There have been changes with us
that you will not know about. I no longer live in Bodmin, but nearly 12 miles outside
it, on the road to Launceston. It’s a wild and lonely spot, and if you were to come
to us I should be glad of your company in wintertime. I have asked your uncle, and
he does not object, he says, if you don’t talk too much and will give help when
it is needed. He cannot give you money or feed you for nothing, as you will understand.
He will expect your help in the bar in return for your room and meals. You see, your
uncle is the landlord of Jamaica Inn.”
The letter was a strange message of welcome from the smiling Aunt Patience she
remembered. A cold, empty letter, giving no word of comfort, and little information,
except that she must not ask for money. Aunt Patience, with her silk skirts and
delicate ways, the wife of an innkeeper!
So it was that Mary Yellan found herself traveling north in the coach. Villages were
scattered now, and there were few smiling faces at the doors of the small houses.
There were almost no trees. The wind blew and the rain came with the wind.
21. The purpose of Mary Yellan’s trip is to ______ .
A. work in her uncle’s inn
B. spend a winter holiday with her aunt
C. inform her aunt of her mother’s death

22. The word “shaken” (Line 10, Paragraph 1) is closest in meaning to ______ .
A.
moved
C.
weakened
B. shocked
D. improved
23. Mary Yellan’s feeling on the trip can be best described as ______.
A.
hesitant
C.
hopeful
B. heavy
D. relieved
24. According to the letter, Mary Yellan was required to ______ .
A. take care of her
aunt
run the inn for her uncle
C. pay money for her
meals
and help in the bar
B.
D. talk less
25. It can be learned from Paragraph 3 that Mary Yellan was ______ .
A. surprised at her aunt’s businesslike manner
B. angry about her aunt’s cold letter
C. lonely without her aunt’s help
D. happy to see her aunt
Passage 2
It’s summer time, meaning a lot of people are eating outside while enjoying the
sunshine. But if you don’t properly take care of the grill or the food you’re cooking
on it, you could
wind up
making people sick.
According to Dr. Elizabeth Hagen, the under secretary for food safety at the U.S.
Department of Agriculture, people may neglect the importance of food safety during
cookouts, because they’re busy entertaining and do not have the same “sense of
food handling” they might have in the kitchen. However, Hagen noted it’s important
to be cautious no matter where you cook, because thousands of people are admitted
to hospitals every year for food-related illnesses. “Forty-eight million people
in the United States get sick every year from food poisoning. Forty-eight million,”
Hagen said. “And 128,000 of them end up in the hospital; 30,000 of them will die
from food-related illness each year in the United States. That’s why this is worth
talking about, raising awareness, and giving people the information they need to
reduce the risk.”
Hagen listed three steps to keeping food safe. The first step is to clean your hands,
tools and food surfaces before you cook. Then you should separate raw meat and poultry
(禽肉)from foods that won’t be cooked. Besides, you need to use a meat thermometer
to cook to the proper temperature.
“When you’re eating outside the rule is two hours,” Hagen said. “You really can’
t leave things sitting out for more than two hours, and if the temperature is above
thirty-two degrees, which it often is at fourth of July, you can’t leave things
out for more than one hour. So get them back into the cooler, back into the
refrigerator as soon as possible.”
If you get a food-related illness, Hagen said you may start feeling symptoms anywhere
from a couple of hours to as long as six weeks after you’ve eaten the unhealthy
food.
26. The phrase “wind up” (Line 3, Paragraph 1) is closest in meaning to ______.
A. turn
up
C. clean
up
B. end up
D. give up
27. Which of the following statements is true according to Dr. Hagen?
A. People pay less attention to food safety during cookouts.
B. 48 million people suffer from food poisoning during cookouts.
C. 128,000 people die from food-related illness each year in the US.
D. People have less sense of food handling when they cook at home.
28. What is the second step listed by Dr. Hagen to keep food safe?
A. Clean your hands, tools and food surfaces.
B. Keep your cooking materials in the refrigerator.
C. Separate raw meat from foods that won’t be cooked.
D. Cook to the right temperature by using a meat thermometer.
29. How long can you leave the food out when the temperature is above 32℃ ?
A. More than three
hours.
than two hours.
C. No more than two
hours.
one hour.
B. More
D. No more than
30. What is the passage mainly about?

cooking.
