But no complaints, leftover rice still tastes just as good, unlike leftover French fries. There are smart ways to use your leftovers. But, most people dont know that leftover rice is extremely accessible to food poisoning.Bacillus CereusUncooked rice has cells that are able to reproduce quickly called Bacillus cereus. Bacillus cereus can cause food poisoning, and it is able to survive on the rice even when its cooked. Thats why there are some food poisoning myths that you may ignore.The Way to StoreIt has nothing to do with the way the rice is reheated, but rather the way the rice is stored after you first cook it. The trouble comes when you leave your rice sitting out a room temperature right after you cook it. When left out the spores can grow into bacteria and multiply causing you to get food poisoning when you eat your leftovers the next day.As you probably guessed, the longer the rice is left out after you cook it, the more likely it is that it will get food poisoning. The National Health Service recommends keeping your cooked rice out for no longer than an hour. Its best to get it in the fridge as soon as possible.Try to Know MoreTake the time to break out the food storage container and put your leftover foods in the fridge before you dig into your dinner. Youll thank yourself later. And to make sure you dont get sick eating some other type of leftover, make sure you know about the other foods that commonly cause food poisoning.21. The passage is mainly written to .A. state some benefits of eating riceB. teach people how to cook delicious rice C. warn us of danger of eating leftover riceD. introduce the disease caused by food poisoning22. When rice is cooked, Bacillus Cereus can .A. still survive on itB. be completely ignored C. reproduce cells quicklyD. do no harm to peoples health23. According to the writer, how to store your leftover rice?A. Keep it warm for a long time.B. Reheat it over and over again.C. Get it in the fridge immediately.D. Place it out at room temperature.BIt wouldnt be accurate to say that heights make Kathie nervous. Terrified would be more accurate. Or just plain “scared to death.”But what on earth was she doing on top of a 50-foot rappelling(绳索垂降) tower? I mean, besides screaming. The answer isnt easy, but it is surprisingly simple. What it comes down to is this: Kathie was part of a team, and she refused to let them down. With their support she was able to conquer fear. She climbed the ladder step by painful step, hitched herself to the rappelling ropes, cautiously backed over the edge and dropped herself down. It wasnt pretty with all of the screaming. But she did it. And that was the important thing. The next day I asked Kathie if the experience helped her to overcome her fear of heights. “Define overcome,” she said. “Well, are you less afraid of heights now?” I asked. “Is bungee jumping up next for you?” “You ve got to be kidding,” Kathie said, laughing. “Im just as afraid as I ever was.” “So basically, this experience didnt really do anything for you,” I observed. “Sure it did,” she said. “It didnt remove my fear. But it helped me prove to myself that I could do something despite my fear.” “Even though youre still afraid?” “Exactly,” she said. “It turns out that the height of the tower wasnt really the issue. Fear was the issue. And my team gave me the courage I needed to handle the fear.” “And thats something youll remember next time youre up on a rappelling tower?” “Hopefully,” she said confidentially, “there will never be a next time.” OK, so maybe she isnt exactly a profile in courage. Or is she? Most of us would probably define “courage” using words like “bold,” “fearless” and “unafraid.” But as I consider Kathies experience, it seems to me that those qualities dont have a lot to do with courage. The fearless person needs no courage. Same with the person who is boldly unafraid. Real courage is the ability to overcome fear in order to do what needs to be done. For people like Kathie, the important thing is finding the right foundation upon which to build a courageous response and then responding. Courageously. With or without the screaming. No matter how nervous, terrified, or just plain scared we may be.24. Why was Kathie on top of the tower?A. She thought it exciting.B. She wanted to scream on it.C. She hated to disappoint her team.D. She meant to show off her courage.25. According to the conversation, we can learn that Kathie .A. was going to try it againB. overcame her fear of heightsC. got interested in bungee jumpingD. could do something even with fear26. The author took Kathie as an example in order to .A. show us the real meaning of “courage”B. prove Kathiewas actually a fearless womanC. think highly of those who are boldly unafraid D. introduce some other words related to “courage”27. Which of the following can be the best title?A. Never be afraid.B. Scream with courage.C. Overcome your fear.D. Dont let others down.CA man in London has become the second known HIV-positive adult to be cleared of the virus that causes the disease AIDS. The man received a stem cell transplant three years ago. He was treated with anti-retroviral(抗逆转录病毒) drugs until about 18 months ago. Now, tests show he has no sign of the HIV virus in his blood.“There is no virus there that we can measure. We cant detect anything,” said Ravindra Gupta, a professor and HIV scientist who played a leading role in treating the man. The patients name, nationality or age is not public. He is called “the London patient” because he was treated in the British capital. A similar identification was given to the first known person cleared of HIV infection over ten years ago, the “Berlin patient”. Both men experienced a similar treatment.But there was something unusual about the person who gave the London patient stem cells. The giver or donor had a natural resistance to HIV. In other words, something about this persons body made it impossible for him or her to become infected with the HIV virus. As a result, when the London patient received the stem cells, his immune system changed and he developed a natural resistance to HIV, too.Ravindra Gupta notes that the donors unusual resistance to HIV may not be the only reason the treatment cleared the London patients infection. He notes that the Berlin patient and the London patient had similar side effects after the treatment. In both cases, the donors stem cells immediately began to attack the patients immune cells. This interaction may have helped destroy some of the HIV infection in the patients, Gupta says.Experts who study AIDS say the success of the Berlin patient and the London patient is very important. Their experiences show that scientists will one day be able to end AIDS. But they also warn that a cure has not been found. The blood treatments the Berlin and London patients had have failed in other patients. The treatments are also too dangerous, expensive and risky to do for the large number of people who already have the virus that causes AIDS. 28. From the example of the two patients, we can learn that HIV virus .A. shows no sign in people blood B. is bound to lead to the disease AIDSC. is mainly treated in the British capitalD. can be cleared with a stem cell transplant29. What was special in the London patient case?A. His immune system totally broke down.B. No side effects appeared in his treatment.C. He would not be infected with HIV again.D. His treatment was the first case in the world.30. Whats the authors attitude towards the treatments?A. Negative.B. Cautious.C. Favorable.D. Indifferent.31. Where does this text probably come from?A. A science news report.B. A biology textbook. C. A meditation guide.D. A science fiction.DThe popularity of winter clothing made with animal hair has greatly increased the demand for fur of coyotes(土狼), wild animals that are related to dogs and wolves and mainly found in North America. Many people living in cold-weather places around the world wear coats designed with furry edges that circle the head and neck. Many clothing companies use coyote fur from the United States to create these kinds of coats. Coyote fur is a favored choice because it is naturally full, soft and has beautiful colors. A good coyote from the western United States is highly valued and can sell for at least $100.The best time for trapping coyotes is in late fall and early winter, when coyote coats are at their fullest. But a lot of the selling happens in late winter. Much of the fur is sold at big auction(拍卖) houses in Canada. Local sales are also held in areas near where the animals are caught. One such auction was recently held in the small town of Herkimer, New York. People gathered in a local community center there to take part in the auction. Tables inside were filled with hundreds of furs from coyotes and other animals.Fur experts say the increase in demand for coyote fur started with coats made by Canadian clothing company Canada Goose, whose coats saw a big jump in sales in 2013. It happened after American model Kate Upton wore one of the companys coats over her swimsuit in a photo that appeared in the U.S. magazine Sports Illustrated. Over the years, more famous people and their fans have also chosen to wear the fur-lined coats. Canada Goose coats can now sell for up to $1,000. “Canada Goose is always the name that people relate to,” Mark Downey, head of Canadas Fur Harvesters Auction company, noted. “But there are so many other brands that make similar coats.”Downey predicts the large demand for coyote fur will continue. The hot market for coyotes comes as more and more trappers deal with recent economic downturns in both China and Russia. They also face competition from people raising animals for fur. However, animal rights activists call the trapping process cruel. They claim that, in several ways to the public, a large amount of evidence has been collected which may account for those inhuman activities.32. The popularity of coats made with coyote fur is mainly due to .A. peoples love for wild animalsB. its natural qualities and colorsC. the growing number of coyotesD. clothing companys fancy design 33. The increase in demand for coyote fur started when .A. the best time for trapping coyotes cameB. more people took part in the big auction C. the company Canada Goose was founded in 2013D. the model appeared in the magazines wearing coyote coats34. What challenge will Canada Goose face?A. The high price of coyote fur.B. A fall in sales of fur-lined coats.C. The competition from other coat companies.D. A new rule that allows people raise animals for fur.35. What will the passage probably talk about next?A. The future development of Canada Goose.B. The advantagestrappershave over others.C. The demand for coyote fur will decrease soon.D. The appeals to people to stop trapping coyotes.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。Many goals, like climbing a mountain, require hard work, planning and many small steps to achieve. Your daily life - as wonderful as it can be - takes up all of your time. 36 Time, as they say, waits for no one. So, how can we find time to work on these larger life goals?Identify specific goalsAs you identify your goals, bespecific. If a goal is toogeneral,it may be hard to pursue let alone achieve it. 37 To make the goal more specific,you could sign up for a regular exercise class. So, whether you are dancing, doing yoga or kickboxing, you have a regular commitment every week. You could also say your goal is to lose a certain amount of weight in a certain amount of time.Write your goals downExperts say writing down your goal is a very important step. It gets the goal out of your brain and into the real world. Some psychologists suggest that writing a goal on paper is better than typing it on a device or saying it into your phone. 38 Writing things down seems to say to the brain, “I am important! Remember me!”Writing has another benefit. 39 As you sit down at your computer or pour your morning coffee, your goal stares you in the face and asks, “What are you going to do about me today?” 40 Not all goals are created equal. Some can be quite big. And for those bigger goals, experts suggest breaking them down into smaller ones.For example, you love cooking and you decide to start your own company that supplies food for special events. Now, that is a very big goal. But it is made up of many smaller goals. So, identify them, write them down and set for yourself time limits.A. Make sure to have fun along the wayB. Break down BIG goals into small onesC. You can post your goal somewhere as a reminder.D. Lets say your goal is to get in better physical shape.E. Your brain receives information differently when it comes from handwriting.F. It is thepursuitof your goals that makes up the weeks, days and hours of our lives.G. Before you know it, weeks, then months have gone by, and you are no closer to your goal.第三部分英语知识运用(共三节,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,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Christmas drew near.
