chinese dinner table is chopsticks instead of knife and fork, but thats only superficial. besides, in decent restaurants, you can always ask for a pair of knife and fork, if you find the chopsticks not helpful enough. the real difference is that in the west, you have your own plate of food, while in china the dishes are placed on the table and everyone shares. if you are being treated to a formal dinner and particularly if the host thinks youre in the country for the first time, he will do the best to give you a taste of many different types of dishes.the meal usually begins with a set of at least four cold dishes, to be followed by the main courses of hot meat and vegetable dishes. soup then will be served (unless in guangdong style restaurants) to be followed by staple food ranging from rice, noodles to dumplings. if you wish to have your rice to go with other dishes, you should say so in good time, for most of the chinese choose to have the staple food at last or have none of them at all.perhaps one of the things that surprise a western visitor most is that some of the chinese hosts like to put food into the plates of their guests. in formal dinners, there are always “public” chopsticks and spoons for this purpose, but some hosts may use their own chopsticks. this is a sign of genuine friendship and politeness. it is always polite to eat the food. if you do not eat it, just leave the food in the plate.people in china tend to over-order food, for they will find it embarrassing if all the food is consumed. when you have had enough, just say so. or you will always overeat!24. the real difference on dinner table between china and west is that _.a. youre treated to a formal dinner for the first time.b. on chinese dinner table, chopsticks replace knife and fork.c. the host will do the best to give you a taste of many different types of dishes.d. you have your own plate of food in west while in china everyone shares the dishes.25. if you have a dinner in a chinese home, in which order will the food be served?a. serving soup.b. a set of four cold dishes.c. staple food such as rice, noodle or dumplings.d. the main courses of hot meat and vegetable dishes.a. badcb. cabdc. bdacd. cdab26.the “public chopsticks and spoons” are used to _.a. taste different dishesb. consume the food in the platec. show the friendship and politenessd. put food into the plates of their guests27.according to the message, the authors attitude towards chinese dinner table is _.a. critical b. objective c. negative d. positive ca us student has just spent 30 days on an “insect diet ” eating insects three times a day. camren brantley-rios says traditional meats such as pork and beef are unable to continue and he wanted to try out what many consider the diet of the future.many people would find the idea of eating insects distasteful, even if it were not disgusting. not so long ago, brantley-rios was among them. but for the last month he has been eating insects for breakfast, lunch and dinner.“im mainly sticking to three kinds,” he says. occasionally he has included different insects. preparing these he “actually cried”, though he insists they were surprisingly good.insects consume fewer resources than animals, like pigs and cows, to produce the same amount of protein (蛋白质), brantley-rios says and more than two billion people worldwide include insects in their regular diet, according to the un food and agriculture organization.“we have finer meats and were lucky to have that luxury, so theres not much of a pressure to eat insects right now. but what a lot of people are trying to do is make it a little bit more marketable.” brantley-rios says. he has ordered insects from farms that usually supply zoos, which need them “to feed certain animals”. he has always made sure the insects have been fed on an organic diet, he says, and only bought species he knows are safe to eat.he knows that one person eating insects wont make much difference. to have a real environmental effect, millions would have to follow his example.28.why has the us student tried out an “insect diet”?a. to seek for future vegetables.b. to advocate traditional meats.c. to make up for the lack of meat.d. to explore new forms of protein.29.what can we learn about brantley-rios from paragraph 2?a. he is tired of meats like pork and beef. b. he advised people to eat insects though disgusted.c. he had nothing to eat but insects last month. d. he didnt like the idea of eating insects at first.30.what does the underlined part “actually cried” in paragraph 3 mean?a. was scaredb. was pitifulc. was sorryd. was puzzled31.how does brantley-rios guarantee the safety of his insect diet?a. he tests each species before eating it.b. he orders insects for certain zoo animals.c. he feeds his insects on an organic diet. d. he has insects raised on his own farm.dwith only about 1,000 pandas left in the world, china is desperately trying to clone (克隆) the animal and save the endangered species. thats a move similar to what a texas a&m university researchers have been undertaking for the past five years in a project called “noahs ark”.noahs ark is aimed at collecting eggs, embryos (胚胎), semen and dna of endangered animals and storing them in liquid nitrogen (氮). if certain species should become extinct, dr.duane kraemar, a professor in texas a&m university medicine, says there would be enough of the basic building blocks to reintroduce the species in the future.it is estimated that as many as 2,000 species of mammals, birds and reptiles will become extinct in over 100 years. the panda, native only to china, is in danger of becoming extinct in the next 25 years.this week, chinese scientists said they grew an embryo by introducing cells from a dead female panda into the egg cells of a japanese white rabbit. they are now trying to implant the embryo into a host animal.the entire procedure could take from three to five years to complete.“the nuclear transfer (核子移植) of one species to another is not easy, and the lack of available (capable of being used) panda eggs could be a major problem, ”kraemer believes. “they will probably have to do several hundred transfers to result in one pregnancy (having a baby). it takes a long time and its difficult, but this could be groundbreaking science if it works. they are certainly not putting any live pandas at risk, so it is worth the effort,” adds kraemer, who is one of the leaders of the project at texas a & m, the firstever attempt at cloning a dog.“they are trying to do something thats never been done, and this is very similar to our work in noahs ark. were both trying to save animals that face extinction. i certainly appreciate their effort and theres a lot we can learn from what they are attempting to do. its a research that is very much needed.”32.the aim of “noahs ark” project is to _.a. make efforts to clone the endangered pandasb. save endangered animals from dying outc. collect dna of endangered animals to studyd. transfer the nuclear of one animal to another29.the underlined word “groundbreaking” can be interpreted as _. a. especially dull b. pioneering c. damaging d. trouble-making34.the best title for the passage may be _.a. chinas success in panda cloningb. the first cloned panda in the worldc. exploring the possibility to clone pandasd. china-the native place of pandas forever35.from the passage we know that _.a. kraemer and his team have succeeded in cloning a dogb. scientists try to implant a pandas egg into a rabbitc. kraemer will work with chinese scientists in clone researchesd. about two thousand species will probably die out in a century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。everyone has
