This is NewYorkstyle pizza, handmade with care and good ingredients. New branches of Steves are opening elsewhere in Miami, all in non-tourist areas.Opening hours: 11am-3amCattlemans SteakhouseThis place is 20 miles east of the city, but local folks would probably drive 200 miles to eat here. The food is good, and the scenery is even better. Come early and wander around the grounds of Indian Cliffs Ranch, where youll see everything from rabbits to buffalo ( 水牛),then catch the sunset either before or after your meal. Opening hours: 5pm-10pmAbsolute Baking & CafeThe screen door is always swinging open at this town hot spot with giant breakfasts.

From the passage we learn that customers cant.A. reserve a table for dinner at Walts WharfB. expect new branches of Steves in non-tourist areasC. enjoy a beautiful sight at Cattlemans SteakhouseD. have a good breakfast at Absolute Baking&CafeBOne day I went to a store to get some needed items for my family.I gathered up my goodies and headed for the checkout counter, only to be blocked in the narrow aisle（通道） by a young man who appeared to be about sixteen years old. I wasnt ina hurry, so I patiently waited for the boy to realize that I was there. It was obvious now, he was mentally challenged and a little shocked as he turned and saw me standing so close to him, waiting to squeeze by. I said, “Hey Buddy, whats your name?”“My name is Denny and Im shopping with my Mommy,” he responded proudly.“Wow,” I said, “thats a cool name; I wish my name was Denny, but my name is Steve.How old are you Denny?”“How old am I now, Mommy?” he asked his mother as she slowly came over from the next aisle. “Youre fifteen years old, Denny”. Then he headed toward the toy section.Dennys mom thanked me for taking the time to talk with her son. She told me that most people wouldnt even look at him, much less talk to him.I told her that it was my pleasure and that there are plenty of red, yellow, and pink roses in Gods Garden; however, “Blue Roses” are very rare and should be appreciated for their beauty and distinctiveness.You see, Denny is a Blue Rose and if someone doesnt stop and smell that rose with their heart and touch that rose with their kindness, then theyve missed a blessing from God. So, the next time you see a BLUE ROSE, dont turn your head and walk off. Take the time to smile and say Hello.24. The best title of the passage would be.A. A boy different from othersB. Kindness in the worldC. Blue roses in Gods gardenD. Unforgettable experience in the store25.

Curious and humorous.CImagine having an idea, drawing it on paper, bringing it to a store and seeing it turned into an object. This is now possible with the help of 3D printers. Such machines were once used just by universities and big companies, but now, stores with 3D printing services are appearing around the United States.Bryan Jaycox and his wife opened The Build Shop LLC in Los Angeles two years ago. The Jaycoxs offer 3D printing classes and services for anyone who is interested.“I think 3D printing is going to be huge. Its going to have a huge influence on society as a whole.” says KiChong Tran, one of the students in a recent class. He plans to open a 3D printing business in Cambodia (柬埔寨).3D printing services are coming into American peoples life. The UPS Store is a nationwide retailer (零售商) that provides copying and other services. The UPS Store recentlyput 3D printers in three of its independently-owned stores. Burke Jones owns one of the stores in San Diego.“The demand has been amazing. There has been a lot of interest from people. Its been much more than I would have imagined.” The UPS Store plans to add 3D printers in three more stores.At The UPS store, the cost of the object depends on the amount of materials used. The store also charges up to $95 an hour for design and labor services.Mr. Jaycox thinks that within five years, 3D printing technology could become more user- friendly. But KiChong Tran says even todays technology can make a difference in a developing country like Cambodia.“With 3D printing you can give them tools, so they are responsible more for their own development and they learn skills beyond just like learning English and becoming a tour guide or something like that. You can actually create things that give value to the world.”He says its not just Cambodia but anywhere where there is a 3D printer, it can turn a good idea into reality.28.

The attitude of KiChong Tran towards the development of 3D printing is.A. objectiveB. positiveC. uncertainD. criticalDWe like people who look like us, because they tend to have personalities similar to our own. And, a new study suggests, the longer we are with someone, the more similarities in appearance grow.Researchers set out to study why couples often tend to look like one another. They asked 11 male and 11 female participants to judge the age, attractiveness and personality of 160 real-life married couples. Photographs of husbands and wives were viewed separately, so the participants didnt know who was married to whom.The test participants rated men and women who were actual couples as looking alike and having similar personalities. Also, the longer the couples had been together, the greater the similarities. The researchers guess that the sharing of experiences might affect how couples look.The idea that there is a connection between appearance and personality might seem strange at first, but there could be biological reasons for a link, said study member Tony Little from the University of Liverpool in England.“The face displays our emotions and over time, emotional expressions may become written in the face,” Little told Live Science. For example, someone who smiles a lot may develop lines and muscles that are suggestive of someone who is happy.Other studies have shown that partners who are genetically similar to each other tend to have happier marriages.The new study indicates that people have different features when using facial appearance to make decisions about someones personality, and that the particular cues（暗示） focused onchange from face to face. Vital to the decision, however, are eyes and smiles.“Smiles are important social cues that may tell us whether or not someone is friendly, and eyes are also a traditional focus of attention,” Little said.Overall face shape can be important too. For example, the combination of large chins and strong brow ridges（脊）can create an impression of disagreeableness and being unwilling tocooperate, Little said.32. We can conclude from the new study that old lovers look alike because.A. they love each deeply for a long timeB. their similar experiences might affect their appearanceC. they learn from each other in their daily lifeD. they are closely connected with each other biologically33. According to the passage,.A. the researchers judged the age and personality of 11 males and 11 femalesB. the appearance of someone who smiles a lot may suggest his or her happinessC. appearance and personality are always connectedD. a persons personality can only be judged through eyes34. The underlined word “vital” can be replaced by.A. most importantB. very effectiveC. quite obviousD. just contrary35. The passage mainly tells us that A. sharing of experience leads to similar appearanceB. its safe to judge ones personality from smiles and eyesC. couples often have a lot in commonD. personality is largely based on facial expressions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。The London underground is the biggest urban transport system in the world, with 12 lines, 275 stations and a total of more than 400 kilometers of track. 36.
