Mr. John Evans had never found the time or money to make the trip from his home in Forest Fach, near Swansea. But, when British Rail offered him an all-expenses-paid birthday trip to the capital he just could not refuse.He arrived at Paddington Station and smartly turned out in his best suit, favorite Panama hat and a red rose in his buttonhole. “Its very exciting. Theres no doubt about it,” he said.Until yesterday he had never been far from home, except for one trip to Aberdeen. “But Ive been on the seas to that faraway land 21 miles from home,” he joked.Mr Evans, who spent 60 years working as a miner in South Wales, almost made the journey to London once before, at the turn of the century. “There was a trip to the White City but it was ten shillings return from Swansea too much I thought. All my money went to the family then,” he said.During the next two days Mr. Evans will be taken on a short tour of London to see the sights. Top of his list is a visit to the House of Parliament organized by his MP, Mr. Gareth Wardell.The only arrangement he does not care for is the wheelchair provided for him if he gets tired. “I dont like the chair people will think I am getting old. ” he said. His secret for a long and healthy life has been well publicized no wine, no tobacco and no anger.Before setting off from Swansea with his 76-year-old son, Amwell, he said jokingly, “Im glad to see theyve given me a return ticket. ”24. The very reason that Mr. Evans didnt go to see the world is that _.A. he had already been on the seas to IlfracombeB. he couldnt afford both the time and the moneyC. he was too busy to go too far away from homeD. he believed “East or west, home is best”25. Mr Evans didnt like the wheelchair simply because _.A. he was not used to traveling in itB. the wheelchair was of poor quality and not easy to operateC. he thought he was still young enough to manage the trip D. he actually preferred walking to sitting in it at home26.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Mr. Evans had to work hard to raise his family when young.B. Mr. Evans could not really enjoy the trip because of his age.C. The trip to London excited Mr. Evans very much.D. Humor was one of Mr. Evans characters.27.The probable explanation to Mr. Evans long life lies in _.A. his hard working for the family B. his good living habits C. his sticking to his hometown D. his living conditions near the SwanseaC Something in chocolate could be used to stop coughs and lead to more effective medicines, say UK researchers. Their study found that theobromine(可可碱), found in cocoa, was nearly a third more effective in stopping coughs than codeine, which was considered the best cough medicine at present.The Imperial College London researchers who published their results online said the discovery could lead to more effective cough treatment. “While coughing is not necessarily harmful(有害的) it can have a major effect on the quality of life, and this discovery could be a huge step forward in treating this problem,” said Professor Peter Barnes.Ten healthy volunteers(志愿者) were given theobromine, codeine or placebo, a pill that contains no medicine, during the experiment. Neither the volunteers nor the researchers knew who received which pill. The researchers then measured levels of capsaicin, which is used in research to cause coughing and as a sign of how well the medicine are stopping coughs.The team found that, when the volunteers were given theobromine, the capsaicin（辣椒素） needed to produce a cough was around a third higher than in the placebo group. When they were given codeine they needed only slightly higher levels of capsaicin to cause a cough compared with the placebo.The researchers said that theobromine worked by keeping down a nerve activity(神经活动), which causes coughing. They also found that unlike some standard cough treatments, theobromine caused no side effects such as sleepiness.28. According to Professor Barnes, theobromine _.A. cannot be as effective as codeineB. can be harmful to peoples healthC. can be a more effective cure for coughsD cannot be separated from chocolate29. What was used in the experiment to cause coughing?A. Capsaicin. B. Theobromine. C. Codeine. D. Placebo.30. We learn from the text that volunteers in the experiment _.A. were divided into the three groupsB .were patients with bad coughsC. received standard treatmentsD. suffered little side effects31. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. Codeine: A New Medicine B. Cough Treatment: A Hard Case C. Theobromine Can Cause CoughsD .Chocolate May Cure CoughsD There is growing concern about food insecurity in the developing world. Rising food prices, weather emergencies and political problems are deepening the struggle for families in many countries. Three UN agencies have published a report recently, saying high prices are likely to continue. Gregory Barrow, who is with the World Food Program in Rome, says, “If you look at the places where the World Food Program works, particularly in developing countries, you see people who might be spending more than 60 percent of their salary in purchasing food for their families.” East Africa is suffering its worst drought in years. In Kenya, at least three and a half million people are going hungry, mostly in the north. Yet food is going to waste in central Kenya. Now, farmers there want the government to buy their food and give it to those in need. Farmers say bad roads and lack of transportation make it difficult for them to get their produce to the market. Mr. Barrow says, “It needs the government to make some arrangements such as providing transport. They can buy it at a good price, then give it to those people instead of asking for food from overseas, which is very bad. When we are throwing away food, they are asking for food from overseas.” Economists say that imports reduce local food prices, decrease productivity(生产效率) and increase the dependency on other countries. Farmers in Kenya hope the government can pay higher prices for their crops so that they can feed more Kenyans. 32. What is the best title for this passage?A.Kenya Imports Food from AbroadB.World Food Program in Rome.C.The Poor Suffer from High Food Prices.D.A Report Published by Three UN Agencies.33.What do we know about Kenya from the passage?A.The people in central Kenya are suffering from hunger.B.At least three and a half million Kenyans lack food.C.The Kenyan government wants to improve road conditions.D.People in northern Kenya refuse to ask for food from overseas.34. What does “they” in the fourth paragraph refer to? A.The people of northern Kenya. B.Government officials.C.The farmers of central Kenya. D.Kenyan economists.35. Which of the following statements is TRUE, according to this passage?A.Gregory Barrow suggests that Kenya make good use of overseas food.B.People in northern Kenya are suffering the drought less than the central.C.Economists believe importing food from abroad may cause problems.D. Kenyan government hopes to buy the native crops at higher prices.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。Out of the ColdThere are no known cures for the colds and the flu, so cold and flu prevention should be your goal.The most effective way of preventing the flu is to get the flu shot. 36 _ But there are other techniques you can employ as well.
