Of course, you could. Your tongue is covered with tiny “taste buds” which help you know what different foods taste like. Do you know that foods would taste different if you did not have a nose?This experiment shows how important your nose is when you taste things.What You Need:a friend to helpsmall pieces of any food like carrot, orange, banana whatever you have handysmall pieces of apple, raw potato, and (if you are brave) onionWhat You Do:There are actually three different experiments, You and your friend should take turns trying them on each other.Experiment 1:Have your friend close her eyes and open her mouth. Give her a piece of the food and ask her to taste it. Then, ask her what she thinks it is. She will probably guess correctly.Experiment 2:While your friend has her eyes closed, give her a piece of raw potato. At the same time, hold a piece of apple right under her nose. Ask her to eat the potato (but dont call it by name) and tell you what she thinks it is. She will say it is a piece of apple! You can even do it the other way around : Have her eat a piece of apple while smelling a piece of potato, and she will think she is eating a raw potato, or, perhaps, she wont be able to name what she is eating.Experiment 3: (for the brave)Take a piece of raw onion. You dont have to close your eyes this time. Squeeze your nose closed with your other hand so that no smell can get into your nose. Now take a small bite of the onion. Surprise! As long as you hold your nose, you will not be able to taste the onion,The Science SecretYou already know the science secret. Your nose and your tongue work together to make food taste the way it does. Your tongue, however, can taste only certain flavors like salty, bitter, sour, and sweet. All of the other “tastes” are actually “smells”, and you need your nose to “taste” them.Oh, and you might use this science secret the next time you are told to eat something you dont like the taste of. If you hold your nose while you eat it, you wont “taste” it at all.21. What is this text mainly about? A. Why some things smell better than others. B. How smell changes the way people see. C. How smell affects the way food tastes. D. Why different foods can smell the same.22. In Experiment 2, what should you do when you hold the piece of apple under your friends nose? A. Ask her to close her eyes. B. Hand her a piece of onion. C. Have her guess the food. D. Tell her to eat a piece of potato.23. The most likely reason why Experiment 3 is called “for the brave” is that _?A. You keep your eyes open. B. You have to eat a raw onion. C. You have to squeeze your nose. D. You do the experiment alone.24. Where is the text most likely taken from? A. A science magazine. B. A news report. C. An advertisement. D. A menu.BWhen I was young, my mother didnt have the money to send me to school, but she thought it was important for me to keep up with education. So she decided to teach me extra lessons herself. But because she had to go to work, the only time she could do it was at 4:30 in the morning.We need every one of you to develop your talents and your skills so that you can help us old folks solve our most difficult problems. If you quit（离开；放弃） on schoolyou re not just quitting on yourself , you re quitting on your country. No ones written your destiny(命运) for you ,because you write your own destiny. You make your own future. Thats why today I m calling on each of you to set your own goals for your education and do everything you can to meet them. Your goal can be something as simple as doing all your homework, paying attention in class, or spending some time reading a book.But whatever you decide to do , I want you to mit to（使致力于） it. I want you to really work at it. I know that sometimes you get that sense from TV that you can be rich and successful without any hard workthat your ticket to success is through rapping or basketball or being a reality TV star. No ones born being good at all things. You bee good at things through hard work. Youre not a good athlete the first time you play a new sport. You dont hit every note the first time you sing a song. Youve got to practice.25. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. The writers home was very rich. B. The writer was born in a poor family.C. The writer didnt like reading books. D.

Why does the writer call on everyone to set his/her own goal?A. Because everyones future is to do simple work.B. Because everyones future is determined by themselves.C. Because everyone should do their homework.D. Because everyone should pay attention in class.28. How can people realize their great dream?A. By rapping. B. By playing basketball.C. By working hard. D. By being a reality star.CThe Australian postal service has apologized for delivering a letter half a century after it was sent from an island in the South Pacific.A couple from Adelaide found the faded postcard, from the French Polynesian island of Tahiti, resting on their doorstep under a gas bill. It bore a postmark of 1966 and was addressed to one “Robert Giorgio”, according to the Adelaide Advertiser. The postcard, which was written by someone named “Chris, reads: “I am enjoying myself greatly. The weather is very humid. Ill try and drop you a note in England.” Its stamp cost 13 francs, or around nine pence, and is understood to have been sent to the original owner of the house, whose whereabout is unknown.“It took a while to realize it was an old one,” said Tim Duffy, who bought the house 18 months ago with his wife, Claire, and believes it was built by an Italian man in 1963. “Then I checked the post date and its 1966.” He suspects the card may have been sent by someone who was travelling by boat. “Its fresh enough although it is a bit faded and its got some damage to the top left, which looks like a bit of water damage,” he said. Mr. Duffy handed the letter back to Australia Post, who acknowledged that something had “gone wrong” and issued an apology. “It is clear that something went wrong 50 years ago after the postcard was posted in French Polynesia, and we apologizes for the inconvenience,” a spokesman said. It is not the first time that a letter has taken vastly longer than expected to arrive at its destination.A love letter sent by a British soldier during World War Two was apparently stuck in transit for more than 64 years before it reached RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk.29. Who wrote the postcard? A. Chris B. Claire C. Tim Duffy D. Robert Giorgio30. What does the postcard look like? A. Nice and perfect B. Old and damaged C. Old put beautiful D. Fresh but damaged31. What can be inferred from the text? A. The post card was sent out in 1963 B. Tim Duffy accepted the apology from the Australia Post C. This is the first letter that has gone wrong during delivering D. The person who wrote the post card would travel to EnglandDThe days of glancing at a map or the screen of your smartphone when youre lost will soon be over, thanks to new shoes that tell you which way to turn to. The shoes use a Bluetooth link to municate with your mobiles mapping system. The mobile works out which route you should be following and the shoes then produce a slight shaking in either foot telling you when and where to change direction.The shoes will also count the number of steps youve taken and the calories youve burned, and theyll even buzz to warn you youve left your phone behind, or to tell you when youre travelling past an interesting landmark.“They are as easy to use as a tap on the shoulder,” said Krispian Lawrence, 30, who developed the shoes with partner Anirudh Sharma, 28, in Hyderabad, India. “You can even municate with them using hand gestures and finger snaps because the shoes have sensors that can pick up movement and sound.”The Lechal shoes go on sale worldwide in June but Lawrence and Sharmas pany, Ducere Technologies, has already taken more than 3,000 pre-orders. Lawrence believes the shoes will also improve road safety. “If Im on my bike or motorbike, I dont want to stare at my phone-its dangerous,” he says. “Id rather be guided by my footwear.” He believes his invention will prove invaluable for the visually impaired and has promised that every mainstream pair sold by Ducere will subsidize(资助) a cheaper pair for a visually impaired person.Footnav technology does not impress explorer Sir Ranulph Fiennes, however. “Whats wrong with a good old-fashioned map?” said the 70-year-old when told of the shoes. “If you rely too heavily on technology, youre heading for trouble. Too many people have forgotten the basics: how to read a map and a pass.”32. Which of the following is NOT the function of smart shoes according to the passage?A. Warning of the loss of your wallet.B. Guiding your road.C. Counting your steps and calories. D. Reminding you of landmarks.33. Smart shoes can be used as a map mainly because .

Whats the possible meaning of the underlined word “impaired”?A. Discouraged. B. Disabled.C. Disappointed. D. Disliked .35. What is Sir Ranulphs attitude towards this invention?A. Positive B. Negative C. Doubtful D. Cautious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。How to Have a Successful Teenage LifeEveryone wants to succeed in their life, dont they?
