The text as a whole is probably intended for .A. language learnersB. environmentalistsC. outdoor explorersD. lovers of volunteeringBAll Alice Waters wanted was bread, jam and lettuce that tasted real, with a cup of good coffee or a glass of wine on the side. The founder of Chez Panisse, the California restaurant famous for launching the farm-to-table movement, certainly didnt plan to start a revolution.Returning to the United States in 1965 after studying in France, Waters missed the delicious food and community of the little cafes where she spent most of her time. “The United States was a land of frozen food, so eating even just fresh bread and jam was an extremely pleasant surprise to me,” says Waters. “And spending time in restaurants with friends it was very important to me.”One day, an idea struck Waters that maybe her cooking and sense of community could help her make some money. Believing they could do anything, she and a group of friends raised money, found a house in Berkeley and opened a little restaurant called Chez Panisse in 1971.Most ingredients Waters could find were from industrial farms. They tasted totally different from the ones her parents planted during World War II and the ones she had enjoyed in France. Thus she began a search for suppliers who would grow good ingredients.“I was looking for taste. And I couldnt find taste until I met the local organic farmers who were growing vegetables for flavor,” Waters recalls. “I realized that I would be dependent on them for the success of my restaurant.”At first, the finances were a disaster. If any of the ingredients didnt taste right, chefs threw them out. Staff had to taste the wine to sell it. That meant thousands of dollars of wine disappeared on a regular basis. People who offered ingredients were given meals in trade.But Chez Panisse had lines out of the front door from the very first night. Waters sense of taste and her dedication to making the best food possible kept people coming back. It didnt take long for Chez Panisse to catch the attention of foodies (“吃货”). Throughout its existence, the restaurant has earned the highest praise of many critics. It has sometimes been called the best restaurant in America.Now 72, Waters is not content with staying at home and cooking in her kitchen. Last September, she flew to Washington D. C., to meet members of Congress to discuss the benefits of free lunch for all schoolchildren.Many people have called Waters unrealistic over the course of her 45-year fight for good food. Nevertheless, her single-mindedness ended up sparking a farm-to-table movement. “She didnt start Chez Panisse to change the world,” said Marion Nestle, a New YorkUniversity nutrition professor. “But what she did was absolutely revolutionary. Shes a force and deserves every bit of recognition that comes her way.”24. Alice Waters started Chez Panisse in order to .A. launch a farm-to-table revolutionB. allow all schoolchildren in the United States to have free lunchC. support the local organic farmersD. bring Frances style of cooking and sense of community to her home country25. In the early days of Chez Panisse, finances were a big problem because .A. some customers refused to pay for their mealsB. organic vegetables were very expensiveC. Waters put huge emphasis on good food and ingredientsD. the housing rent in Berkeley was very high26. According to the article，Chez Panisses success can be attributed to . the great flavor of its dishes the ideal location of the restaurant the huge effort Waters put into her cause support from multiple foodiesA.B.C.D.27. What would be the best title for the passage?A. The Secret of Catering RevolutionB. The Power of Farm-To-TableC. The Recipe for Successful BusinessD. The Movement of Organic FoodCWe live in a time when technology has enabled everyone to be a journalist, yet not everyone has the proper training. Whether out of ignorance or out of a sense of honor, some of the journalism online has done a better job of changing public opinion than showing the whole truth.Two recent stories are perfect reminders of the difference between the urge to change minds and basic journalism ethics.“A college kid took some birds from a nearby tree and was sentenced to 10 years in prison,” went a recent online headline from the Chinese Internet. The accompanying vote showed that 85 percent of respondents sided with the student. Some joked that most boys would be guilty of such a crime because everyone had stolen birds when they were children.Left out of the original report was the fact that the birds in question were falcons, which are on the nations list of protected, endangered species. Birdwatchers also said that it was unlikely Yan Xiaotian, the 21-year-old defendant, had found the 12 birds in one tree. For this particular species, he had to search a much larger area.For me, the most important questions are: Did he know it was illegal before he took the birds and did he know that before he sold them?Follow-up reporting has found that the evidence showed that Yan knew what he was doing. The only point of uncertainty is the very first time he took the first birds when he could be unaware of their status and value. As a matter of fact, the prosecutor started out asking for a light punishment, but took a U-turn when data from Yans cellphone clearly showed that he had stolen them.The punishment, while sounding harsh, followed the law almost to the letter. The court has since said it would review the case, a sign of giving in to public pressure.Lets look at the second story, which can be read as either “Elderly man had to walk in his shorts for hours in Sanya after his bike was taken by the citys quasi-police” or “Retired official illegally parked his bike for a swim and made the city apologize and fire a low-paid city management staff member”.Both played up different parts of the same story. For me, Bi Guochangs age and former official title are not relevant to the case. The key is whether he indeed parked his bike illegally and whether proper procedures were being followed by taking it away and making him get it back. Yet the reports focused on the image of an old man walking only in his shorts. He could have phoned his family for backup or taken a taxi home first before complaining, as most would do in that situation.Such stories read like badly-written morality tales, with everything in black and white and a simple yes-or-no message. Real life is much more complicated. Reporters have to be neutral and avoid taking sides too early.China Daily28. Why was Yan Xiaotian sentenced to 10 years in prison?A. He took some birds from a nearby tree.B. He searched a much larger area for birds.C. He illegally took some falcons and sold them.D. He took 12 birds without knowing they were falcons.29. According to the passage, the writer implied that .A. the judges should still follow the law strictlyB. the punishment was too much for the studentC. the student didnt get fair treatment from the judgesD. the court will resentence the student30. The writer mentioned the second story to show that .A. the reports focused on the appearance of Bi Guochang rather than the truthB. the journalists expressed their sympathy for the elderly personC. the local officers didnt follow proper procedures when they dealt with Bis caseD. the citys quasi-police were to blame for Bis troubles31. What is the main idea of the passage?A. There is an urgent need to improve current journalism ethics.B. Everyone can be a good journalist even without proper training in journalism.C. Journalists should remain neutral and have basic ethics.D. Journalists can change the publics opinions.DI became increasingly frustrated at not being able to express what I wanted to convey in letters that I wrote And every book I picked up had few sentences which didnt contain anywhere from one to nearly all the words that might as well have been in Chinese. When I skipped those words, of course, I really ended up with little idea of what the book sailI saw that the best thing I could do was get hold of a dictionaryto study, to learn some words. I requested a dictionary along with some tablets and pencils from the Norfolk Prison Colony school.I spent two days just riffling uncertainly through the dictionarys pages. Id never realized so many words existed! I didnt know which words I needed to learn. Finally, just to start some kind of action, I began copying.In my slow, painstaking, ragged handwriting, I copied into my tablet everything printed on that first page, down to the punctuation marks. I believe it took me a day. Then, aloud, I read back to myself everything Id written on the tablet. Over and over, aloud, to myself, I read my own handwriting.I woke up the next morning, thinking about those wordsimmensely proud to realize that not only had I written so much at one time, but Id written words that I never knew were in the world. Moreover, with a little effort, I also could remember what many of these words meant. I reviewed the words whose meaning I didnt remember. Funny thing, from the dictionarys first page right now, that aardvark springs to my mind. The dictionary had a picture of it, a long-tailed, long-eared, burrowing African mamma, which lives off termites caught by sticking out its tongue as an anteater does for ants.I was so fascinated that I went onI copied the dictionarys next page. And the same experience came when I studied that. With every succeeding page, I also learned of people and places and events from history. Actually, the dictionary is like a miniature encyclopedia. Finally, the dictionarys A section had filled a whole tablet and I went on into the Bs. That was the way I started copying what eventually became the entire dictionary. It went a lot faster after so much practice helped me to pick up handwriting speed.I suppose it was inevitable that as my word-base broadened, I could for the first time pick up a book and read and now begin to understand what the book was saying. Anyone who has read a great deal can imagine the new world that opened. Let me tell you something; from then until I left the prison, in every free moment I had, if I was not reading in the library, I was reading on my bunk (双层床). You couldnt have gotten me out of books with a wedge. Months passed without my even thinking about being imprisoned. In fact, up to then, Ive never been so truly free in my life.32. The underlined sentence in the 1st paragraph means .A. the sentences contained some Chinese words the writer couldnt understandB. the sentences in the book were too difficult to understandC. the contents of the sentences were related to the ChineseD. the words of the sentences were unknown to the writer like Chinese33. The writers way of learning new words was to .A. first copy them out on paperB. open up the dictionary at random to a word he didnt knowC. study them right off the dictionary pageD. recite them silently to himself34. The underlined word “succeeding” can be replaced by “”.A. followingB. successfulC. concerningD. detailed35. Why did the writer become truly free even though in prison?A. Because he felt like an educated man.B. Because he learned how to read and had books to read.C. Because he gained the respect of his fellow prisoners.D. Because he didnt need to work and just read in prison.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。Have you used “um”“like” “you know” in your speech? Crutch words are unnecessary words used to fill up dead paces while you speak. Speaking too many crutch words is like a bad habit that we are unaware of. While most people tend to ignore it in everyday conversation, in a formal speech or an interview, too many crutch words can make even the best presentation look bad. 36 Stop when we arc in doubt. Crutch words arc used more often when a person is unsure about the sentence to use next. 37 If you are lost or in doubt over what to say next, just stop speaking, take a long pause, breathe in, figure out what to say and start again.Speak consciously and slowly. If the speech is too long and you talk continuously without thinking, then you might also be pushing in a few crutch words in between. 38 It is vest to memorize the tricky parts of the speech, like the introduction and the conclusion where a majority of the crutch words are used. 39 Preparing for the speech is very important when trying to remove crutch words. Make it a point to pause when there is a comma or give two pauses at the end of the sentence. If certain words in the speech need to be emphasized then underline them and practise them as they need to be said.Avoid crutch words in conversations. Get a friend or your partner to help you out when rehearsing a conversation. 40 Although it can be an unpleasant and often embarrassing process, but in the long run it helps in cutting down on crutch wors.A. Practise your speech when you can.B. Remember the saying that silence is golden.C. Therefore we can find our best friends to guide us well.D. Anytime you use a crutch word, the friend
