Period TwoLesson 2Mind Your Manners.阅读理解AMore than 10 million Chinese cultural relics have been lost overseas，most of which were stolen and illegally shipped out of China during the times of war before 1949.About 1.67 million pieces are housed in more than 200 museums in 47 countries，which accounts for 10 percent of all lost Chinese cultural relics，and the rest are in the hands of private collectors.Most of these treasures are owned by museums or private collectors in the United States，Europe，Japan and Southeast Asian countries.There are more than 23,000 pieces in the British Museum，most of which were stolen or bought for pennies more than 100 years ago.The major method to recover these national treasures was to buy them back.In some cases，private collectors donated the relics to the government.Also the government can turn to official channels(渠道) to demand the return of relics.In 2003，a priceless bronze pigs head dating from the Qing Dynasty was returned to its home in Beijing after it was removed by the AngloFrench Allied Army over 140 years ago.Macao entrepreneur(企业家) Stanley Ho donated 6 million yuan to buy it back from a US art collector and then donated it to the Poly Art Museum in Beijing.Although buyingback is the most feasible way to recover the lost treasures，limited funding is always a big headache.In recent years，the Chinese government has improved efforts to recover the precious cultural relics lost overseas.It has started a national project on the recovery of the treasures and has set up a database(数据库) collecting relevant information.It has signed several international agreements with many countries on this matter，and is also looking for international cooperation to recover the relics by working closely with several international organizations.1What is the passage mainly about?AHow to recover cultural relics.BThe efforts to recover Chinese cultural relics.CStanley Ho donated a bronze pigs head to Beijing.DChinese cultural relics were stolen by the AngloFrench Allied Army.答案B解析主旨大意题。本文用大量篇幅讲述了中国人民及政府为收回流失海外的文物所做的努力，可见B项是文章的主旨。2Which of the following statements about the bronze pigs head is NOT true?AIt was made in the Qing Dynasty.BIt is now in the Poly Art Museum in Beijing.CIt was donated by the French government to China.DIt was removed by the AngloFrench Allied Army over 140 years ago.答案C解析细节理解题。根据文章第四段内容可知猪首是澳门企业家从美国收藏家手中买回来再捐赠给北京保利艺术博物馆的，而不是法国政府赠送的，所以C项不对。3We can infer from the passage that _.AChina has enough money to buy all the cultural relics backBthe Chinese government has done a lot to recover the lost cultural relicsCmany countries have returned the lost cultural relics to China for freeDChina is preparing to set up a database to collect information about the lost cultural relics答案B解析推理判断题。根据第五段“limited funding is always a big headache.”可知A项错误；根据文章最后一段可知中国政府为文物的收回做了许多努力，其中包括建立数据库以收集信息，所以B项正确，D项错误。文中没有明确提到外国免费把文物归还我国的事，所以不选C项。4The underlined word “feasible” in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by “_”Apossible Bdifficult Cpopular Dcareful答案A解析词义猜测题。根据文章第三段可知收回文物的主要办法是将它们买回来，由此可推断买文物是较为可行的方法。根据although一词可以排除difficult，后面说资金是一大难题，可见购回文物也不可能popular。BThe number of animals in Ugandas national parks has increased over the past decade，the Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) says.The number of species that have been declared extinct is overestimated(过高估计)，some scientists have said.A study has found that a third of all mammal species declared extinct in the past few centuries have turned up alive and well.Some of the shyer creatures managed to hide from sight for 80 years only to reappear within four years of being officially named extinct in the wild.The shy okapian African animal like a giraffe but with a shorter neckwas first discovered in the Democratic Republic of Congo in 1901.Then it seemed to vanish(消失) for decades from 1959；it was believed that it had died out.But in 2005，some researchers found okapi tracks in the wild.Other mammals “back from the dead” include the ratlike Cuban rat，the flying fox of the Solomon Islands，the Australian central rock rat and the Talaud flying fox of Indonesia.However，many scientists believe the world is going through a new “mass extinction” caused by mankindmore species are disappearing now than at any time since the dinosaurs vanished 65 million years ago.For example，the Tasmanian Wolf in Australia，the Quagga，the Caspian Tiger，the Stellers Sea Cow have all disappeared.According to the International Union for the Conservation of Nature,22 percent of the worlds mammals are at risk of extinction.In Britain，more than two plant and animal species are being wiped out each year.5Which of the following is TRUE about Ugandas national parks?AMany animals have hidden there for 80 years.BThe okapi was last seen there before disappearing.CA third of all mammals “back from the dead” are living there.DThe number of animals there has increased over the past ten years.答案D解析细节理解题。根据第一段首句“The number of animals in Ugandas national parks has increased over the past decade.”可知，乌干达国家公园的动物数量在过去10年里增加了。6When was the okapi thought to be extinct?AIn 1901. BIn 1959.CIn 2001. DIn 2005.答案B解析细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Then it seemed to vanish(消失) for decades from 1959；it was believed that it had died out.”可知答案为B项。7According to the passage，which of the following has vanished?AThe Talaud flying fox of Indonesia.BThe ratlike Cuban rat.CThe Stellers Sea Cow.DThe Australian central rock rat.答案C解析细节理解题。根据第四段及第五段内容可知，the Talaud flying fox of Indonesia，the ratlike Cuban rat，the Australian central rock rat并没有真正灭绝，只有C项为灭绝动物。8What can be the best title for the passage?AAnimal population increases VS mass extinctionBThe beautiful Ugandan national parksCThe life of the okapi before and after disappearingDThe extinction of the worlds mammals答案A解析标题归纳题。通读全文可知，乌干达国家公园的动物数量在过去10年里增加了。而且有研究称，三分之一被宣布灭绝的哺乳动物其实并未灭绝。然而，由于人为原因，世界正经受一次新的“大规模物种灭绝”。A项最能全面概括文章的内容。.阅读填空Food is life；it gives us the nourishment(营养) we need to stay alive and be healthy._1_ Brian Wansink，a professor at the University of Illinois，says we also eat certain foods because they make us feel good，and remind us of happy memories.Wansink calls this kind of food comfort food.For some people，ice cream is a comfort food.For others，a bowl of noodles soup makes them feel good._2_ Professor Wansink believes that we connect food with important times，feelings，and people in our lives.“When I was a child，my mother made a delicious soup；I loved it._3_ And it helps me feel better，” says one of Wansinks coworkers.Do men and women choose different comfort foods？Wansinks research at the University of Illinois says “yes”In his study，the favorite comfort food for both men and women was ice cream.After this，men usually preferred hot，savory(香的) foods like soup or noodles._4_ Men and women like to eat comfort foods when they are happy，but women eat these foods more when they are sad or worried._5_ About 40 percent of the comfort foods in Wansinks study were healthy main dishes or soups and vegetables.It shows，says Wansink，that a comfort food can taste good and be good for you.ANot all comfort food is junk food.BWhere can we buy this sort of food?CSweet foods are also their preference.DHow does a food become a comfort food?EUsually，we ea
