On the one hand, its true that many Americans have cold cereal for breakfast, sandwiches for lunch and instant (方便的) dinners. From busy homemakers to working people, many Americans enjoy the convenience of fast food that can be ready to serve in 10 minutes or less. On the other hand, many Americans realize the importance of cooking skills. Parentsespecially motherssee the importance of training their childrenespecially daughters. Most Americans think that theres nothing better than a good home-cooked meal. But with cooking, as with any other skill, good results dont happen by accident.Probably every cook has his or her own way of cooking. But there are some basic skills that most people follow. For example, baking is a main method of preparing food in America. For that reason, Americans would find it next to impossible to live without an oven. American cooks pay special attention to the balance of foods, too. In planning a big meal, they try to include meat, a few vegetables, some bread and often a dessert. They also like to make sure the meal is colorful. Having several different colors of food on the plate usually makes for a healthy meal.For those who need guidance in their cooking, or for those who have just run out of ideas, recipes are a great help. Recipes list all the ingredients for a dish (generally in the order used), the amount of each to use, and a description of how to put them together.4. This passage mainly tells us that _.A.

They have found that night owls are generally brighter and wealthier than those able to get up early in the morning.Experts from the University of Madrid carried out tests on around 1,000 teenagers and found that those who preferred to stay up late proved the kind of intelligence associated with honored jobs and higher incomes. “Larks” or “morning people”, however, often acquired better exam results, possibly because lessons are held at the wrong time of day for night owls. The researchers examined the habits and body clocks of the youngsters to determine whether they liked to stay up late and sleep later in the morning, or preferred to go to bed early and were at their peak in the morning. School performance and inductive(归纳的)intelligence, or problem solving, were measured and academic grades in the major subjects were also taken into account. The results showed that evening types scored higher than morning types on inductive reasoning, which has been shown to be a good estimate of general intelligence and a strong indicator of academic（学术的） performance. They also had a greater capacity（能力） to think conceptually（概念地） as well as analytically. Such abilities have been linked to innovative(创新的) thinking, more admired occupations and better incomes.Famous night owls include President Trump, Obama, Charles Darwin, Winston Churchill, Keith Richards and Elvis Presley. George W. Bush, who is regularly in bed by 10 p.m., Thomas Edison, Napoleon, Condoleezza Rice, who wakes at 4:30 a.m., and Ernest Hemingway are among those known as larks. Jim Horne, professor of psychophysiology at Loughborough University, said, “Evening types tend to be the more active and creative types, the poets, artists and inventors, while the morning types are the deducers(推导者), as are often seen with civil servants and accountants.” A previous study of US Air Force recruits found that evening types were much better at thinking to solve problems than larks.8. What does the word “owl” mean in the text?A. A bird of prey that flies at night.B. A bird of prey that is a symbol of wisdom.C. A kind of person who stays up late.D. A kind of person who gets up early.9. The following features belong to night owls EXCEPT that _.A. Night owls are much healthier, wealthier and wiserB. Night owls stay up late and sleep later in the morningC. Night owls have a strong ability of inductive reasoningD. Night owls are expert in analyzing and innovative thinking10.

Bush are models of night owls.B. The early bird will catch the worm.C. Morning types have a tendency to do some creative jobs.D. Night owls usually do poorer in the examinations than larks.DIts holiday season and time for shopping. There are a bunch of items on your shopping lists ranging from small gifts, toys and festive decorations to Christmas and New Year cards. Whats your first reaction to products labeled “Made in China”? If you still tend to relate “Made in China” to poor quality, you need to update your ideas. Chinas ability to produce high-quality products has been recognized by a growing number of foreigners. Its a misunderstanding to associate low quality with “Made in China”.Cameron Purdy, a Web user, says that China manufactures poor-quality products does not mean it cannot manufacture high-quality products. He explains that the poor-quality products one purchases in the US for example, are made in the quality that the American companies ask for. “The price that you pay for the product has no relationship to the cost of its manufacturing,” suggested Purdy. For example, for an item priced at $20 in the US, the cost of manufacturing it paid by the American company is usually less than $1. To guarantee the room for profit, the Chinese co-manufacturer spends less than $1 to produce the item.Amanda Wu, who lives in Shanghai, noted that many top brands have manufacturing factories located in China, and the most convincing example of Chinas manufacturing quality is Apple products. On the back of the iPhone, one can find the product is Made in China“Designed by Apple in California. Assembled (装备) in China. ”Chinese and foreign Web users commented that some Chinese products with good reputations around the world are Haier, Lenovo, GREE, Huawei and China Railway High-speed.On the other hand, foreign misunderstandings can sometimes affect Chinese peoples minds. For instance, when Chinese people travel abroad, some would still avoid buying products Made in China. Its time for the world to stop relating Made in China with low-quality products. Just remember, you get what you pay for.12. How does Purdy make his point more convincing?A. By using quotes. B. By making experiments.C. By making comparisons. D. By giving examples.13. How many Chinese products are well received worldwide in the text?A. Seven B. Six. C. Five. D. Four.14. When abroad, Chinese people dont buy Chinese products because of _.A. high price B. low quality C. old fashions D. foreign misunderstanding15. What is the main idea of the text?A. Chinese products are the best in the world.B. How to tell apart the quality of Chinese products.C. How to improve the quality of Chinese products.D. Chinese products dont have to mean poor quality.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。（注意E涂AB, F涂AC, G涂AD）Why Do We Forget Things? When it comes to having perfect memories, it is apparent that we humans must have had some faults in our blueprints(蓝图)! Why dont we remember everything that we want to remember? It makes us feel upset and get discouraged. 16However, its true that we are all forgetful. 17These are stored in what we call our “long-term memory”. What about before age three? Sigmund Freud, a doctor of Vienna, discovered the fact that we forget most of our early childhood. 18They have different opinions. A very good theory, born from the results of experimentation with babies, is that absence of language ability at the time of an event stopped us from describing it to others. 19Experts say that you can keep about seven things in your memory at once for up to three days. During that time, you may forget something in order to put something else in its place, or you put it into long-term memory. What goes into short-term memory are things youve learned about recently, in the past day or two. 20For example, you may have met your favorite star last week, and this week you can tell all the details to a friend. A simple example to explain your short-term memory is to look at a list of twenty words for a minute or two. You will discover that you cannot remember more than about seven of them and that they are the ones in the beginning and at the end of the list because your mind has judged them to be more important than those in the middle.A.Scientists now know that it may take longer to remember things for the old.B.However, it is widely recognized that short-term memory can be improved.C.Sometimes, it even causes us to lose self-respect or others to think less of us.D.Psychologists have been studying what causes this forgetfulness since Freuds time.E.Most of us have vivid memories of our lives from about age three to our present ages.F.Only if something really unusual happens does it stay in your short-term memory for longer.G.The other type of memory, the “short-term memory”, is what we are usually referring to when we say, “I forgot.”第二部分 完形填空（共20小题;每小题1.5分，满分30分）Recently I understood the true meaning of love.

Nick replied, “The only reason a man would sell salt _7_a lower price would be because he was desperate for money. And anyone who took advantage of that situation would be showing a lack of respect for the sweat and struggle of the man who worked very hard to produce it.”“But such a small thing couldnt _8_ (possible) destroy a village.”“In the beginning, ther
