I cant find blue foodI cant find the flavor of blue! I mean yellow is lemon; orange is orange and red is cherry. Where is the blue food?”Well, Carlin pretty much has it rightthere is not no blue food, but theres certainly not a lot of it. Fresh-picked blueberries are blue, though they become purple when they are turned into jam. The blue in blueberrieslike the purple in grapes and red in tomatoesis found in nature. But it isnt a hot color for food. People dont seem to prefer blue food.Some diet programs even suggest that those determined to lose weight should make their food blue.Eating, in part, begins with our eyes. Chares Spencean experimental psychologist from Oxford Universitypoints out that color can change our taste experience. Commonly, we consider red-colored foods up to 20% sweeter than they actually are; and green foods as being more sour. Spence suggests: human expectations may be influenced by our long history of watchinggreen fruits can become sweet as they grow up and turn red.But what about blue? Except blueberries, much of the blue food we see these days is dyed blue artificially. Food producers argue that artificial color doesnt do much damage to health. A lot of research shows that some physical problems of kids are related to food dyeswhile other studies show no effects at all. Blue birthday cake or even blue-dyed chicken can be served on the dinner table. So what?21George Carlins words are placed at the beginning of the passage to _.A. show the authors opinionB. tell a famous personC. introduce a TV showD. lead in the topic22 Which of the following statements of blue is true?A. Blue is not a very popular color for foods.B. Blueberries are always blue, whether fresh or not.C. The blue in blueberries is found unnatural.D. People often feel cold when they eat blueberries.23Eating sometimes begins with our eyes because _.A. red-colored foods are 20% sweeter than green foodsB. our taste experience can be influenced by colorC. people prefer red-colored foods to green foodsD. before eating, people watch food for a long time24 The underlined words “is dyed” in para. 4 are closest in meaning to “_”.A. is eaten upB. has grown upC. is changed in colorD. is harmful toBMacao is only forty miles from Hong Kong and it is easy to reach. You can get there by sea. It is an interesting place and it has a long history. Macao is part of China and most people living there are Chinese.The first Europeans in Macao came from Portugal. More than four hundred years ago the Portuguese went there to trade with China. Some settled and made their homes there. They built strong forts（要塞）to guard the city and the harbor. They also built churches, schools, hospitals and other places. Slowly the city grew. People from many other countries came to live and work in Macao.Today many people live in Macao. Some only go there to watch dog-racing or motor-racing or to gamble（赌博）with their money. But Macao is a quiet and peaceful place. It is pleasant just to walk around and look at the old buildings and forts. You feel you are back in the old days. Of course，some of the buildings are now in ruins. The Church of St. Paul has only the front wall with many steps leading up to it. But it is still interesting to see.When you are hot and tired, there are small cool gardens to rest in. When you are hungry, there are good restaurants with many kinds of food. Nearby are some islands, which are also nice to visit and are easy to get in. There are certainly a lot to see and to do in Macao.25 Macao is easy to get to because it is .A. part of China and most people living there are ChineseB. an interesting placeC. very fast and cheap by seaD. not far away from Hong Kong26You feel in Macao you are back in the old days because .A. some of the buildings are now in ruinsB. you can watch dog-racing or motor-racingC. you can find the old buildings and fortsD. it is a silent and peaceful place27 The writers idea is that .A. people from many countries came to live and work in MacaoB. the Portuguese were willing to do business in ChinaC. people in Macao serve good foodD. Macao is a quiet and peaceful place with a lot to see and to doCDolphins (海豚) live in a dark underwater world. Its often impossible to see each other or anything else around them, so sound plays an important role in their survival. To communicate with each other, dolphins produce all kinds of sounds.Only other dolphins understand what the sounds mean. Scientists havent uncovered their secret communication, except for one kind of whistle. It might last less than a second, but this whistle is a big deal. Why? Because these whistles are actually names of dolphins and every dolphin has one. Scientists call these sounds a “signature whistle.” When other dolphins hear the whistle, they know which dolphin is calling.Dolphins often hunt by themselves but still need to stay connected to the group. Sincethey cant always see each other, dolphins use their signature whistles to check in with other dolphins hundreds of yards away. “In coastal areas, dolphins exchange whistles even when theyre a third of a mile apart,” says Greg Campbell, who studies animals. That means dolphins shout out to group members that might be nearly five football fields away.Whats amazing is who names the baby dolphin. Not the mother. Not an auntie dolphin or another group member. Scientists believe the baby dolphin itself comes up with the signature whistle. Like human babies, a baby dolphin plays with sounds throughout its first year. While testing its sound skills, a baby dolphin is doing something amazing. Its creating or figuring out its signature whistle. How or why it chooses its signature whistle is not clear. Studies show that most of the time the signature whistle is nothing like itsmothers or group members whistles.When the baby dolphin is about a year old, its signature whistle is set. It repeats it often so the other dolphins learn to recognize it.Deciphering(破译) dolphin names is just the beginning of figuring out what dolphins communicate about. Do they chat about sharks? Discuss the tides? Maybe they even have a name for people. Someday scientists are to decipher the rest of dolphins communication.28Sound is important for dolphins because of _.Atheir poor sense of directionBtheir living environmentCtheir strong enemiesDtheir big groups29The dolphins signature whistle _.Alasts a long timeBcan travel long distancesCis especially helpful in huntingDcan be recognized by other animals30The author writes the text mainly to _.
