He smiled a big smile and told me thisstory “Once when I was about ten years old,” my father told me, “I went treasure hunting with my oldersister. She had heard some people talking about a treasure box hidden in a hillside cave. One day we wentthere and spent two or three hours looking for the entrance to the cave. Then, as I was trying to squeezebetween two big stones, I suddenly fell into a hole. It was the mouth of a tunnel that led to the cave. Mysister and I crawled through into it. It was very dark but we had brought a flashlight and we were shocked tosee that there was a large wooden box ahead of us. We ran to the box and pulled it open. It was filled withsilver and gold coins. I started to count them but my sister told me to stop. “This is only money ，”she said,“This is not areal treasure. If you want money,all you have to dois towork for it”I was going to argue with her when I suddenly noticed a big metal box on the other side of the cave.The box was filled with statues. Some statues were made of ivory or gold, with diamonds for eyes andrubies for lips. I took one of the gold statues out of the box. Dont do that!yelled my sister. This is only beauty andart. It is not a real treasure.There must besomething better hereWe searched and searched, but there was nothing else in the cave. Then the battery in the flashlightstarted to die. Wegot scared and crawled backI wiggled through but my sister got stuck half way between 4 the stones. I tried to pull her out but I couldnt. I ran up and down the street knocking on doors but nobodywouldcomeThe only one who would help was a girl about my age. She got a rope and a spade and a water bottle.About an hour later, we got my sister out of the stones. I became good friends with the girl who had helpedus.

Some researchers think they have the answer, and it comesdown to the structure of the food, not its chemical composition-a finding that could help break away fromsome chemicals. Cream and butter contain pretty much the same things, so why cream should go bad much faster has been a problem. Both are small globules（小球）of one liquid which spreads throughout another.The difference lies in whats in the globules and whats in the surrounding liquid, says Brocklehurst, wholed the research. In cream, fatty globules drift about in a sea of water. In butter, globules of a watery roadsare locked away in a sea of fat.The bacteria（细菌）which make the food go bad prefer to live in the wateryareas of the mixture. “This means that in cream, the bacteria are free to grow throughout the mixture,” hesays, “when in butter, the bacteria are locked away in locked places buried deep in the sea of fat. Trapped inthis way, those colonies cannot spread and rapidly run out. They also slowly poison themselves with theirwaste products.” “In butter, you get a self-limiting system which stops the bacteria growing.” saysBrocklehurst. The researchers are already working with food companies eager to see if their products can bemade to standbacterial attack through changes of the foods structure.Brockelehurst believes it will be possible to make something used in salad cream, for instance, more like that in butter. The key will be to do this while keeping the salad cream liquid and not turning itinto asolid state.32.The significance（意义）of Brocklehursts rescarchis that _. 6 A.it discovered small globules in bothcreamand butterB. it suggested a way tokeep some foodsfresh without using some chemicalsC. it showedthe secret ofhow bacteria increasein cream andbutterD.it foundthat cream andbutter sharethe same chemical composition33.Accordingto Brocklehurst, we cankeep cream freshby _.A.changing its structure B. killing the bacteriaC. reducingits water D. removing its fat34.The underlinedword “colonies” refers to _.A.tiny globules B. wateryregionsC. thesurroundingliquid D.bacteria society35. Commercial use of the research finding will be possible if salad cream can be made to stand bacterial attack_.A.by changingits chemical compositionB. byturningit into a solid lumpC. while its liquidform remainsD.while keepingits structure unchanged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。The main cause of deathand disability in the USStroke （中风）is the main cause of death and disability in the United States.
