Well before classes start, students and teachers order Lattes, Cappuccinos and Hot Chocolates. Then, during the first period, teachers call in orders on their room phones, and students make deliveries. By closing time at 9.20 a.m. , the shop usually sells 90 drinks. “Whoever made the chi tea, Ms. Schwartzman says it was good, ”Christy McKinley , a second year student , announced recently, after hanging up with the teacher. The shop is called the Dixie PIT, which stands for Power in Transition. Although some of the students are not disabled, many are, and the PIT helps them prepare for life after high school. They learn not only how to run a coffee shop but also how to deal with their affairs. They keep a timecard and receive paychecks, which they keep in check registers. Special-education teachers Kim Chevalier and Sue Casey introduced the Dixie PIT from a similar program at Kennesaw Mountain High School in Georgia. Not that it was easy. Chevaliers first problem to overe was product-related. Should schools be selling coffee? What about sugar content? Kenton County Food Service Director Ginger Gray helped. She made sure all the drinks, which use non-fat milk, fell within nutrition（营养）guidelines. The whole school has joined in to help. Teachers agreed to give up their lounge(休息室)in the morning. Art students painted the name of the shop on the wall. Business students designed the paychecks. The basketball team helped pay for cups. 24,What is the text mainly about?A. Best-selling coffee.B.

The answer depends largely on cultural values as well as personal experiences. To the Egyptians, green was a color that represented the hope and joy of spring, while for Muslims, it means heaven. Red is a symbol of good luck in many cultures. In China, children are given money in a red envelope to bring good fortune in the New Year. For many nations, blue is a symbol of protection and religious beliefs. Greek people often wear a blue necklace hoping to protect themselves against evils（灾祸）. Peoples choice of colors is also influenced by their bodies reactions （反应）toward them. Green is said to be the most restful color. It has the ability to reduce pain and relax people both mentally and physically. People who work in green environment have been found to have fewer stomach aches. Red can cause a persons blood pressure to rise and increase peoples appetites（食欲）. Many decorators will include different shades of red in the restaurant. Similarly, many mercial websites will have a red “Buy Now” button because red is a color that easily catches a persons eye. Blue is another calming color. Unlike red, blue can cause people to lose appetite. So if you want to eat less, some suggest that eating from blue plates can help. The next time you are deciding on what to wear or what color to decorate your room, think about the color carefully.28Muslims regard green as a symbol of heaven mainly because of their .Acultural values Bmercial purposesCpersonal experiencesDphysical reactions to the color29.

Which of the following would be the most proper title for the text?AColors and Human Beings BThe Cultural Meaning of ColorCColors and Personal Experiences DThe Meaning and Function of Color D Have you ever had the strange feeling that you were being watched? You turned around and, sure enough, someone was looking right at you! Parapsychologists (灵学家) say that humans have a natural ability to sense when someone is looking at them. To research whether such a“sixth sense”really exists, Robert Baker, a psychologist at the University of Kentucky, did two experiments. In the first one, Baker sat behind unknowing people in public places and stared at the backs of their heads for 5 to 15 minutes. The subjects（受试者）were eating, drinking, reading, studying, watching TV, or working at a puter. Baker made sure that the people could not tell that he was sitting behind them during those periods. Later, when he questioned the subjects, almost all of them said they had no sense that someone was staring at them. For the second experiment, Baker told the subjects that they would be stared at from time to time from behind in a laboratory setting. The people had to write down when they felt they were being stared at and when they werent. Baker found that the subjects were no better at telling when they were stared at and when they werent. Baker concludes that people do not have the ability to sense when theyre being stared at. If people doubt the oute of his two experiments, said Baker,“I suggest they repeat the experiments and see for themselves.”32. The aim of the two experiments is to _.Aexplain when people can have a sixth senseBstudy how people act while being watched in the labCstudy whether humans can sense when they are stared atDprove why humans have a sixth sense33. The underlined word “oute” in the last paragraph most probably means _.Avalue Bresult CperformanceDconnection34. In the second experiment, the subjects _.Acould tell when they were stared at Bcould tell where they werent stared atCcouldnt tell who they were stared at or who they stared atDcouldnt tell when they were stared at or when they werent35. What can be learned from the passage?APeople are born with a sixth sense.BThe experiments support parapsychologists idea.CThe subjects do not have a sixth sense in the experiments.DPeople have a sixth sense in all places.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。With the summer holiday around the corner, it seems that everybody is busy planning their vacations.
