Where is this notice most likely to be found?A. At restaurants. B. In shops.C. In hotels. D. In the newspapers.BReading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now the website B turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group. Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. Book-crossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it. Bruce Pederson, the managing director of Book-crossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. Book-crossing combines both.” Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it. People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossers to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce Peterson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home. Book-crossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual(虚拟). The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.4. Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph?A. To explain what they are. B. To introduce Book-crossing.C. To stress the importance of reading. D. To encourage readers to share their ideas.5. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. The book. B.An adventure.C.Apublic place. D. The identification number.6. What will a BookCrosser do with a book after reading it?A. Meet other readers to discuss it. B.Keep it safe in his bookcase.C. Pass it on to another reader. D. Mail it back to its owner.7. What is the best title for the text?A. Online Reading: A Virtual Tour B. Electronic Books: A new TrendC. A Book Group Brings Tradition Back D. A Website Links People through BooksCMy first impression of Miss Vicki was a highly authoritative(权威的) person towering over me. She spoke in a loud voice and the earth shook whenever she marched. That was in the first year of high school. She was a knowledgeable literature teacher then. However, during my first year in school, she struck terror into my heart(使我胆战心惊). And everyone elses of course. Just the mention of her name made the most unruly classes silent.Nevertheless, the two years of junior high passed by rather quickly. Soon, I went to senior high class. I had worked hard and gotten the subject combination that I wished for. Together with a group of old friends, I soon settled down in class comfortably.To everyones surprise, she was fortunate enough to be my teacher that year. I was shocked when I heard the news. This time round, however, I decided not to hide in terror whenever she was near. I decided to face the fact that we were going to meet each other for the next 365 days. Instead of trying too hard to lick her boots, I tried my best to my natural self in front of her.Still, I could not shake off the ice-cold impression that she put in my heart. True, her jokes sometimes sent me into fits of laughter, yet at other times these jokes simply fell flat the moment she told them. My lovely class, however, was already ready to laugh at the right time of her amusing stories. After all, we would not want to run the risk of provoking(激怒) her.Unluckily, life was not to remain boring. One day we received news that Miss Vicki was to leave Singapore for the Philippines where she would take part in a voluntary teaching program for the poor. We did not know what to say actually. All of us cried at the airport.8. During the first year in school, the author thought Miss Vicki was_ .A. proud but patientB. beautiful but strictC. scholarly but seriousD. humorous but single-minded9. What does the underlined phrase “lick her boots” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Win her favor.B. Embarrass her.C. Argue with her.D. Follow her closely.10. What can we learn from Paragraph 4 ?A. Miss Vicki was a good joke teller.B. Miss Vickis jokes were always boring.C. Students liked Miss Vickis class very much.D. Students pretended to laugh to please Miss Vicki.11. What can we infer about Miss Vicki from the last paragraph?A. She was fired by the school.B. She was not accepted by the students.C. She was unwilling to leave her students.D. She had a strong sense of social responsibility.DAlongside air and water, food is a necessity for human beings to survive and thrive (蓬勃发展). But its a lot more than that. As Mariette DiChristina of Scientific American wrote: “The most intimate (亲密的) relationship we will ever have is not with any fellow human being. Instead, it is between our bodies and our food.”Nowadays, for most people in the worlds wealthiest countries, food is a hobby, an enthusiasm, and even something fashionable.Turn on the TV in the US, UK or France, and youll find at least one channel feeding this popular obsession (迷恋).uAnd most of us know at least one person who thinks of themselves as a “foodie”. Its almost impossible nowadays to check our social media apps without at least two or three photos of delicious meals appearing on our screen however annoying we may find it.But behind the fancy recipes and social media bragging (夸耀), many of us forget how much we take food for granted.This is why World Food Day is held each year by the United Nations on Oct 16. The day allows the UNs Food and Agriculture Organization to highlight (强调) both the progress that has been made against hunger, and the awful amount of progress that still needs to be made.Take Kenya for example. This East African nation has been suffering terrible droughts, some of the worst in recent years. The result is that people are beginning to starve. Children in particular are suffering, with some of them even dying.This may seem shocking to know, especially as many cultures outside of Africa think of food in a completely different way. But even in developed nations in the West, families on low incomes are forced to use food banks organizations that hand out donated food to those who cant afford to pay for it themselves.So what can we do on World Food Day? One good way to spend it would be to feel humble and appreciate what we have. After all, food is essential for our survival, but not everyone is as lucky as we are when it comes to dinner time.12. The author borrowed Mariette DiChristinas words to _.A. discuss the latest trend in the food industryB. point out the food shortage problem in the worldC. emphasize the connection between food and humanityD. show the importance of food for human survival13. According to the article, food shows on TV in the US, UK and France _.A. have turned many people into foodiesB. are very popular among viewersC. will soon be replaced by social media appsD. often mislead peoples opinion of food issues14. World Food Day is celebrated to _.A. raise awareness of the issues behind hungerB. share fancy recipes and promote food culturesC. call on people to donate food to those in needD. inform people of the food crisis in Africa15. The author suggests in the last paragraph that people should _.A. give more food to charityB. share food with their neighborsC. feel grateful for the food they eatD. skip meals sometimes to save food第二节(共5小题;每小题3分,满分15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。Eyesight plays a very important role in our daily life.
