B阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。 体裁：议论文话题：历史故事时间：6分钟The movies just wouldnt be the same without the warm buttery taste of popcorn.Amazingly，this delicious treat started its life as a corn kernel(玉米粒)and not from just any corn.Popcorn is a type of sweet corn that was originally grown in Mexico and spread to China，India and elsewhere.It is the only kind of corn that will pop.Today，most of the worlds popcorn is grown in the United States.Every popcorn kernel contains a tiny drop of water，surrounded by soft starch(淀粉)When the popcorn is heated，the water turns into steam.This puts pressure on the surrounding hard kernel，forcing it to explode.The soft starch increases about 40 times in size as the corn kernel turns itself inside out.In the 1500s popcorn was an important food source for the Aztec Indians of central and southern Mexico.But it wasnt only food.It was also used in ceremonies or in headdresses and necklaces.By the time the Europeans arrived in America，popcorn had spread through most of the American Indians.Some early American settlers ate popcorn with cream and sugar for breakfast.But it wasnt until the late 1800s that popcorn became popular.The demand for popcorn increased and farmers began farming popcorn.The first mobile popping machine was invented in 1885，and popcorn was sold by street sellers much like hot dogs are sold today.During the Great Depression of the 1930s，the popcorn business still thrived as people could still afford it.Then in the 1950s television arrived and popcorn consumption decreased.People stayed home and stopped going to the theatre.But the link between movies and popcorn had already existed.Soon people began making popcorn at home on the stove.Later，microwave popcorn was introduced.Today the movies have regained popularity and popcorn has once again become the favorite.1Popcorn was first planted in _.AChina BAmericaCIndia DMexico2Why does the corn kernel pop when heated?ABecause it is covered with soft starch.BBecause the pressure inside is too big.CBecause the starch becomes bigger in size.DBecause there is water inside the kernel.3We can know from the passage that _.Apopcorn began to be farmed in the late 1800sBpopcorn was only a kind of food in the 1500s Chot dogs used to be sold by street sellersDpeople stopped going to the movies without popcorn4The underlined word“thrived” in the fifth paragraph probably means “_ ”Astarted to be popularBwas seriously affectedCsuffered a lot Ddeveloped very wellC阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。体裁：记叙文话题：热点关注时间：7分钟Does style really sell? How can the appearance of a product be more important than what it does? The battle between form and function rose again when James Dyson，British inventor of the Dyson vacuum(真空) cleaner that has sold in millions around the world，resigned as chairman of Londons Design Museum.It is widely believed that Mr.Dyson felt that the museum put too much stress on style at the expense of serious industrial design.Mr.Dyson accused the museum of not keeping true to itself.He may be right，but these days，museums everywhere can no longer afford to be unique centers of scholarship and learning.Among competition for sponsorship，they must use exhibitions of populist culture，nice cafes and shops or，best of all，a new building by Frank Gehry to increase visitor numbers.On the one hand，some producers can be too oldfashioned and too concerned with the importance of product engineering and the functionality of their goods.On the other hand，there are those who believe that how a product looks is more important.Design is indeed a broad term，involving both function and form.Typically，in any given product area，it changes from the former to the latter.Clothing is a good example.But surely you would have to be a very shallow person to think somethings appearance is more important than what it does.Today nearly all goods at any given price point do much the same job.So almost the only way producers can differentiate their products from those of their competitors is to create some sort of emotional connection with the consumer，which could be through the visual appeal of the product or its packaging，or the imagery(意象) created by advertising.And what of the Dyson vacuum cleaner? Mr.Dyson may believe that people buy these machines because of the graphs showing their superior suction，but most vacuum cleaners do a good job；the main reason people pay extra for a Dyson is that it is a vacuum cleaner with a trendy brand.With its inside workings exposed，it is a bit like a Richard Rogers building with all its pipes shown in bright colors on the outside instead of being hidden inside.Functional it may be，but it is a bit of a trick，too.1Mr.Dyson left the Design Museum because he thought the museum _.Adidnt increase the number of visitorsBcouldnt provide scholarships for learnersCwasnt loyal to its original purpose of learningDdidnt have great appeal for serious industrial design2Speaking of clothing，the underlined word“latter” refers to “_ ”Aaffording protectionBindicating ones identityCproviding warmthDmaking someone beautiful3What can we learn from Paragraph 4?AA product with convenient packaging sells well.BThe majority of consumers prefer to buy branded goods.CMost similarly priced products are of a comparable standard.DEmotion contributes much to the development of advertising industry.4What is the authors attitude towards the form of a product?AOptimistic. BSceptical.CDisapproving. DObjective.V. 短文改错 On Thanksgiving morning I got up early to run in a race. It was hardly above freezing. So every runner was jumping around trying to stay warmly. By the roadside was a man wrapping in a blanket. He was obviously homeless and most people pretended not see him. I went over and talked with him. We talked about all sort of things. It always hurts to see someone going through so a rough time. He didnt ask me for anything, and I wanted to do something for him. I gave him all the cash which I had. At the first he didnt want to accept it but I insisted. Then he said something surprised. He said, “This has been so nice. Thank you. I hadnt really talked to anybody in a long time.” It was he who showed me how to smile through the rough times.VI. 完成句子（2X5=10）1. When will you go to the hospital and _.
