We think of it as a candy, but once it was a medicine. Today, chocolate can be a hot drink, a frozen dessert, or just a snack. Sometimes its an ingredient（构成部分） in the main course of a meal. Mexicans make a hot chocolate sauce called mole and pour it over chicken. The Mexicans also eat chocolate with spices like chili peppers.Chocolate is a product of the tropical cacao tree. The beans taste so bitter that even the monkeys say“Ugh!”and run away. Workers must first dry and then roast the beans. This removes the bitter taste.The word “chocolate” comes from a Mayan word. The Mayas were an ancient people who once lived in Mexico. They valued the cacao tree. Some used the beans for money, while others crushed them to make a drink.When the Spaniards came to Mexico in the sixteenth century, they started drinking cacao too. Because the drink was strong and bitter, they thought it was a medicine. No one had the idea of adding sugar. The Spaniards took some beans back to Europe and opened cafes. Wealthy people drank cacao and said it was good for the digestion.In the 1800s, the owner of a chocolate factory in England discovered that sugar removed the bitter taste of cacao. It quickly became a cheap and popular drink. Soon afterwards, a factory made the first solid block of sweetened chocolate. Later on, another factory mixed milk and chocolate together. People liked the taste of milk chocolate even better.Besides the chocolate candy bar, one of the most popular American snacks is the chocolate chip cookie. Favorite desserts are chocolate cream pie and, of course, an ice cream sundae with hot fudge sauce. 24. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A.

Mexicans like chocolate very muchC. chocolate is a product of the cacao treeD. people liked the taste of chocolate mixed with milkCSpring is coming, and it is time for those about to graduate to look for jobs. Competition is tough, so job seekers must carefully consider their personal choices. Whatever we are wearing, our family and friends may accept us, but the workplace may not.A high school newspaper editor said it is unfair for companies to discourage visible tattoos (纹身) and nose rings, or certain dress styles. It is true you cant judge a book by its cover, yet people do “cover” themselves in order to convey certain messages. What we wear, including tattoos and nose rings, is an expression of who we are. Just as people convey messages about themselves with their appearances, so do companies. Dress standards exist in the business world for a number of reasons, but the main concern is often about what customers accept.Others may say how to dress is a matter of personal freedom, but for businesses it is more about whether to make or lose money. Most employers do care about the personal appearances of their employees, because those people represent the companies to their customers.As a hiring manager I am paid to choose the people who would make the best impression on our customers. There are plenty of well-qualified candidates, so it is not wrong to reject someone who might disappoint my customers. Even though I am open-minded, I cant expect all our customers are.There is nobody to blame but yourself if your set of choices does not match that of your preferred employer. No company should have to change to satisfy a candidate simply because he or she is unwilling to respect its standards, as long as its standards are legal.28. Which of the following is the newspaper editors opinion according to Paragraph 2?APeoples appearances carry messages about themselves.BCustomers choices influence dress standards in companies.CCandidates with tattoos or nose rings should be fairly treated.DStrange dress styles should not be encouraged in the workplace.29. What can be inferred from the text?ACandidates have to wear what companies prefer for an interview.BWhat to wear is not a matter of personal choice for companies.CCompanies sometimes have to change to respect their candidates.DHiring managers make the best impression on their candidates.30. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?AEmployees MatterBPersonal Choices MatterCAppearances MatterDHiring Managers Matter31. The authors attitude towards strange dress styles in the workplace may best be described as _.AenthusiasticBnegativeCpositiveDsympatheticDRobots will have taken over most jobs within 30 years leaving humanity facing its “biggest challenge ever” to find meaning in life when work is no longer necessary, according to experts.Professor Moshe Vardi, of Rice University, in the US, says that many middle-class professionals will be assisting the work of machines within the next few decades leaving workers with more leisure (休闲) time than they have ever experienced.Prof Vardi said the rise of robots could lead to unemployment rates greater than 50 percent. “We are approaching a time when machines will be able to do better than humans at almost any task,” said Vardi, a professor in computational engineering.“Robots are doing more and more jobs that people used to do. I believe that society needs to face this question before its upon us: If machines can do almost any work humans can do, what will humans do? The question I want to put forward is, Does the technology we are developing finally benefit mankind?”Prof Vardi said existing robotic and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies were already getting rid of a growing number of middle-class jobs and that pace of advancement in the field is increasing.But Prof Vardi is not sure that a workforce of humanlike robots will be good for mankind. “A typical answer is that if machines will do all our work, we will be free to pursue (追求) leisure activities,”he said, “I do not find this a promising future, as I do not find the idea of leisure-only life appealing. I believe that work is essential to human well-being. Humanity is about to face perhaps its greatest challenge ever, which is finding meaning in life.“We need to rise to the occasion and meet this challenge before human labor becomes out of date. Whats different this time is computer scientists are working on building machines that can do everything we can do, only better. If machines can do all the work or even 50 percent of the jobs that we used to do, what will people do?”32. What does Professor Moshe Vardi say about future human jobs?A. They will be more challenging. B. Most will disappear completely.C. Most will be replaced by robots. D. They will require higher degrees.33. What is Prof Vardi concerned about?A. The rapid population growth. B. The fast development of robots.C. Whether robots will rule humans. D. Whether robots will do good to humans.34. How does Prof Vardi find leisure-only life?A. Ideal. B. Undesirable. C. Carefree. D. Interesting.35. What will humans face in the next few decades?A. Labor shortage. B. Production surplus.C. Fierce competition. D. Lack of life purposes.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。While it is impossible to live completely free of stress, it is possible to prevent stress as well as reduce its effect when it cant be avoided 36 37 When you are nervous，angry or upset, try releasing the pressure through exercise or physical activityRunning, walking, playing tennis, and working in your garden are just some of the activities you might tryTake care of yourself 38 If you easily get angry and cant sleep well enough, or if youre not eating properly, it will be more likely that you will fall into stressful situationsIf stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping, you should consult a doctorMake time for yourselfSchedule time for both work and entertainmentDont forget, play can be just as important to your overall well-being as work 39 Go window-shopping or work on a hobby.
