Questions 20 to 23 are based on the following passage.
I love that when learning a new foreign language, I seem to discover a new way of thinking
and, most importantly, a new way of relating to people.
When learning another language, you also put yourself in another culture and this teaches
you other ways of doing life. You learn to accept other peoples?behaviour better and start to
value the fact that learning about another culture and embracing (接受） different customs helps
you appreciate more your own.
I am currently living in Vibo Valentia in Southwest Italy. Most people here are very
friendly and like to chat anywhere and anytime. Every time my work colleagues and I say- goodbye
to each other? I seem to be the only one rushing to leave to get to my next appointment. Everyone
else stays even after they have said their goodbyes more than twice.
At first, I couldn't understand why my colleagues would continue chatting after they had
formally said goodbye. However, after having spent over a week here, I have learn that staying
behind to chat is the way local people show they are interested in you and that is quite nice!
I am slowly learning to be more flexible with my schedule, and I now make sure I have
plenty of time between appointments so I can join conversations without having to constantly be
in a rush.
20.According to the author, the most important thing for learning a new foreign language is_____?

D.They still stayed behind after they said goodbye.

23.How has the author changed after spending some time in Italy?
A. He has conversations with his colleagues,
B. He gives longer time between appointments.
C. He is constantly in a rush.
D. He becomes nicer to people.
Questions 24 to 27 are based on the following passage.
Humans have long turned to the dog for its nose, especially in its ability to hunt, track
missing people, and search for drugs- But there is a new challenge： Bomb-detecting dogs now have
to learn to find the increasingly common Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs)(临时组装的爆炸装
置）that can be assembled from materials not dangerous by themselves. “So we’re now asking dogs
not just to find a needle in a haystack (干草堆）一 now the problem is more like saying to the
dog we need you to find any sharp object in the haystack,” says Clive Wynne，a professor at Arizona
State University.
Wynne directs the study that develops methods to train dogs to identify a wide variety of
ingredients that could be used to make bombs. The dogs not only have to detect whether explosive
materials are present, they also have to determine if the chemicals they smell could combine to
form an explosive mixture. The dogs need to learn that when combined with other elements, even
sugar could be used in a bomb. “we want the dogs to grasp the concept of ‘this might explode’”.
Wynne says the big problem is that IEDs are just that---improvised and completely unsteady.
A dog’s nose can be over a thousand times more powerful than a human’s nose. Some agencies spent
billions of dollars over the last 15 years trying to create a technical replacement for the nose
of the dog, and at the end of all that they just had to admit “No, we cannot get close”. Wynne
thinks his team can develop bomb sniffing (嗅，闻）dogs that can detect IEDs at a small part of
that price. All it takes is patience.
24.According to the passage，the new task of bomb-detecting dogs is to learn______.
A. to detect materials that can be used to make bombs
B. to recognize materials that look like bombs
C. to search for various needles in a haystack
D. to identify drugs in a large pile of materials
25.The word “ingredients”（Line 2，Para. 2) is closest in meaning to_______.
A. methods
D. elements
B. dangers
C. chances
26. According to the passage，a dog’s nose______?
A. Can’t be improved
B. is not replaceable
C. can be as powerful as a human nose
D. is equal to a technical machine
27. Why is it difficult to train dogs to detect IEDs, according to Wynne?
A. Dogs are unwilling to sniff IEDs.
4
B. IEDs can be replaced by other things.
C. It’s too expensive to get dogs trained
D. IEDs can be made from various materials.
Questions 28 to 31 are based on the following passage.
Food writer Bee Wilson has a message of hope for parents struggling to get their children
to eat vegetables: “As parents, we have a far greater power than we think we have to form children’
s tastes,” says Wilson.
In her new book, FirstBite, Wilson examines how genetics(遗传), culture, memory and early
feeding patterns contribute to our food preferences. She says that a child’s ability to judge
good food can be formed even before birth. And this insight can be helpful for parents who want
their children to eat well and healthfully.
“One of the main things we know about taste is that liking is a consequence of familiarity，
so the things that our mothers eat，even before we’re born，affect the way we'll respond to those
flavors. When we later encounter them, they seem familiar. “There have been remarkable studies
done showing that if someone eats a lot of garlic when she's pregnant, the baby will grow up to
love garlic.
Wilson, a mother of three, notes that babies are most open to trying new flavors between
the ages of four and seven months. But, Wilson adds, even if parents miss introducing a food during
the so-called “flavor window”，all hope is not lost.
“It not that the flavor window is shut and we can never learn to love bitter green vegetables.
Humans can learn to love new flavors at any age,” Wilson says. “One of the amazing things about
our relationship with food is how malleable (可塑的）it is. But we don't usually as adults give
ourselves an opportunity to change.”
28.According to Bee Wilson，a child’s food tastes________.
A.can't be changed by anyone
B.can be influenced by parents
C.will not develop even if he eats a lot of vegetables
D.will stay the same even if he eats well and healthfully
29.The word “preferences”（Line 2，Para. 2) is closest in meaning to_____.
A.ability
B. flavor
C. liking
D. taste
30.Which life period of a baby is referred to as the flavor window?
A. The time between 4 and 7 months of age.
B. The period before a baby is 3 years old.
C. The days when a baby tries new flavors.
D. The months when a baby eats vegetables.
31.What can we conclude from the passage?
A. We can never learn to love bitter green vegetables.
B. We can always change our food tastes if we choose to.
C. When the flavor window is shut, our food taste is formed.
D. Parents often miss the chance to introduce foods to kids.

Questions 32 to 35 are based on the following passage.
Earth Day was the brainchild of Gaylord Nelson, a United States Senator from Wisconsin.
After seeing the environmental destruction caused by the 1969 oil spill in Santa Barbara,
California, Nelson wanted to find a way to raise public consciousness of the need for greater
environmental protections.
The result was the first Earth Day on April 22, 1970. On that day, over 20 million Americans
took part in a variety of rallies(集会），meetings，demonstrations and activities， all targeted
at highlighting the need for protecting Earth and our environment for future generations. Thousands
of colleges and universities also participated. Members of different groups learned they shared
common values.
Earth Day was a tremendous success. It has now become a global phenomenon. In 1990，for
example, over 200 million people in 141 countries were organized to bring environmental issues,
especially recycling, to the forefront of global consciousness. Today, Earth Day campaigns
continue to publicize important environmental issues, such as global warming, dean energy, and
recycling.
If you’re wondering what you can do to make Earth a better place，participating in
Earth Day activities is a great place to start- By attending a rally，meeting, or demon-station,
you can learn about the environmental problems facing our planet. To really make a difference,
though, you need to turn the knowledge you gain into action. Volunteering for an environmental
group or helping to organize an Earth Day event to educate others is one way to make a difference.
More importantly, however, you can make changes in your daily life. Here are a few suggestions：
Conserve energy and natural resources! Turn off the lights when you leave a room. Take shorter
showers. Turn down the thermostat(恒温器）in winter and turn it up during the summer.
Plant a tree! Trees produce oxygen and remove carbon dioxide from the air. They will
benefit you and future generations.
Reduce, reuse, and recycle! The amount of trash humans produce increases each year.
Do your part by reducing the amount of stuff you buy，reusing the stuff you already have, and
recycling as much as possible.
32. Earth Day was set up in order to______.
A.help California recover from the 1969 oil spill
B.help Nelson realize his dream of becoming a senator
C.remember those who suffered greatly in the oil spill
D.improve the public's awareness of environmental protection
33. What happened on April 22, 1970, according to the passage?
A.Different groups met to discuss environmental issues.
B.Thousands of college students went out into the streets to protest.
C.Environmental activists targeted at governments.
D.Millions of Americans participated in environmental protection activities.
34.In 1990, Earth Day campaigns focused on publicizing_____?
A. recycling
C. the effects of global warming
D. the benefits of cycling
B. clean energy

35.To make Earth a better place, you can start from______.

B. learning more about Earth
C. getting involved in Earth Day campaigns
