up just a few seconds after being dropped is less likely to contain bacteria than if it is left for longer periods of time, according to the findings of research carried out at aston universitys school of life and health sciences. the findings suggest there may be some scientific basis to the “5 second rule” the belief about it being fine to eat food that has only had contact with the floor for five seconds or less. although people have long followed the 5 second rule, until now it was unclear whether it actually helped. the study, undertaken by final year biology students and led by anthony hilton, professor of microbiology at aston university, monitored the transfer of the common bacteria from a variety of indoor flooring types (carpet, cement floor etc.) to toast, pasta, a biscuit and a sticky sweet when contact was made from 3 to 30 seconds. the results showed that: time is a significant factor in the transfer of bacteria from a floor surface to a piece of food; and the type of flooring the food has been dropped on has an effect, with bacteria least likely to transfer from carpeted surfaces and most likely to transfer from cement flooring surfaces to moist(湿的) foods making contact for more than 5 seconds. professor hilton said: “consuming food dropped on the floor still carries an infection risk as it very much depends on which bacteria are present on the floor at the time.”the aston team also carried out a survey of the number of people who employ the 5 second rule. the survey showed that: 87% of people surveyed said they would eat food dropped on the floor, or already have done so. 55% of those who would eat or have eaten food dropped on the floor are women. 81% of the women who would eat food from the floor would follow the 5 second rule. professor hilton added, “our study showed that a surprisingly large majority of people are happy to consume dropped food, with women the most likely to do so. but they are also more likely to follow the 5 second rule.” 21.according to the passage, which of the following is true?a. a toast dropped on the carpet is easier to be polluted than that dropped on the cement floor. b. a sticky chocolate dropped on the carpet is easier to be polluted than that dropped on the cement floor within 5 seconds. c.the food dropped on the carpet shares the same potential of being polluted with the food dropped on the cement floor. d.the food dropped on the cement floor is not as safe as food dropped on the carpet within 30 seconds.22. eating food dropped on the floor still carries an infection risk because it relies on _ at that time.a. the type of bacteria b. the carpet c. the cement floor d. the surface of table23. the passage is developed probably by _. a.time b. space c. contrast d. example24. what is the main idea of this passage?a. the food which is dropped on the floor can be eaten safely.b. the bacteria have no negative effect on the safety of food.c. a research on the safety of food dropped on the floor is undertaken.d. people surveyed in the research are willing to accept the idea.b gift ideathe other day i was shopping for grandma when i realized i had no gift ideas at all. it was not a birthday gift or anything like that. it was simply sort of a hello gift. that is how we do things in my family. we dont really give gifts for special occasions. instead, we occasionally just give presents to each other to tell other people that we are thinking about them. that was why i wanted a gift for grandma. but it was like my imagination had dried up. i have gone through all of the gift ideas in previous years, fruits, wines, cheeses, little handmade crafts, and anything else that you can give to a grandmother. i had even given her gift watches, and cds. what else was there?i have always found gift ideas for men a little bit easier than for women, because for men, you can always get the usual things, such as video games, power tools and things like that. with a womans gift idea, however, you have to know more about her. you cannot just get someone a book or a cd. you have to know all about her taste in movies, music, and literature. my grandmother likes to read a lot, but what she likes is always pretty popular. i didnt want to get her a book that she might not like, but i was running out of time. i needed a gift idea for this weekend and went to visit her. after all, i hadnt seen her for a long time. i wanted to give her a gift so she would not feel ignored. finally, i came up with the perfect gift idea. i made a collection of all the stories i had written in the past year. it wasnt a typical gift idea like a bunch of flowers, but it really worked in the situation. you see, i am a writer and my grandma has always been my fan. anyway, i had been learning about bookbinding recently, and had pretty much mastered the art. i figured that i would add a little bit of handmade artwork to the stories, bind it altogether, and give it to her. it took hours to complete, but it was well worth the effort. she absolutely loved it. 25. the writer chose a gift for grandma to _. a. celebrate a special family occasion b. please her during a weekend visitc. congratulate her on her birthday d. beg her pardon for ignoring her26. what gift did the writer finally decide to give his grandma?a. gift watches. b. a bunch of flowers. c. artwork made by hand. d. stories written by himself. 27. how does the writer feel about giving gifts to women?a. interesting. b. challenging. c. time-wasting. d. popular. 28. we can learn from the passage that _. a. the writer is a successful novelistb. most people are particular about giftsc. the writers grandma has a good taste in artd. the writers family will give gifts on regular days cwere always looking for well-written reviews of books, music, movies, television shows, websites, video games and other products. when writing a review, concentrate on exactly what you liked or didnt like. give examples of strengths and weaknesses, be descriptive and provide background information on an author, director, actor or musician, if possible. find professional reviews in magazines or newspapers and see how reviewers deal with their topic, but be sure to express your own voice in your review. grammar hint for reviews: when describing a book, movie, album or anything else, use the present tense.book reviews discuss an authors technique, strengths and weaknesses instead of focusing on the plot. does the story flow? is there a strong sense of character and place? did you stay up until dawn to finish it? is it good reading for teenagers? what influence did it have on you and why? if youve read other books by the same author, discuss how this book compares.movie reviews think of the major oscar categories and consider the performances, music, lighting and setting, etc. do these work together? did some hold up while others didnt? if the movie is based on a book, discuss whether one is better than the other and why. if the movie is a remake, compare the film to its original.remember that a well-written movie review should discuss strengths and weaknesses. some readers may not have seen a movie yet, so dont give away an exciting scene or the ending!college reviewsbegin by providing an overview of the college, including location, size and a description of the campus and/or dorm life. think about all aspects of your college visit. what academic, athletic and after-class programs are available? what are the students like? what makes the college different from others? every school has strengths and weaknesses. be objective. consider what the school has to offer and who might enjoy or benefit the most from attending there. 29. when writing a review, you _.a. cannot refer to any previous reviewb. must express your own views and opinions c. must provide some information about the authord. neednt give any examples to support your views30. which aspects should be included in all three reviews?a. strengths and weaknesses.b. plot and character.c. programs and scenes.d. location and description.31. where can you probably find the passage? a. in a personal diary. b. in an official report.c. in a tourist guidebook. d. in a popular magazine.dthe extraordinary eastgate building in harare, zimbabwes capital city, is said to be the only one in the world to use the same cooling and heating principles as the termite mound(白蚁堆). architect mick pearce used precisely the same strategy when designing the eastgate building, which has no air-conditioning and almost no heating. the buildingthe countrys largest commercial and shopping complexuses less than 10% of the energy of a conventional building of its size. the eastgates owners saved $3.5 million on a $36 million building because an air-conditioning equipment didnt have to be imported.the complex is actually two buildings linked by bridges across a shady, glass-roofed atrium(天井) open to the air. fans suck fresh air in from the atrium, blow it upstairs through hollow spaces under the floors and from there into each office through baseboard vents(通风口). as it rises and warms, it is drawn out via ceiling vents and finally exists through forty-eight brick chimneys. during summers cool nights, big fans blow air through the building seven times an hour to cool the empty floors. by day, smaller fans blow two changes of air an hour through the building, to circulate the air which has been in contact with the cool floors. for winter days, there are small heaters in the vents. this is all possible only because harare is 1600 feet above sea level, has cloudless skies, little dampness and rapid temperature changesdays as warm as 31 commonly drop to 14 at night. “you couldnt do this in new york, with its hot summers and cold winters,” pearce said. the engineering firm of ove arup & partners monitors daily temperatures. it is found that the temperature of the building has generally stayed between 23 and 25, with the exception of the annual hot period just before the summer rains in october and three days in november, when a doorkeeper accidentally switched off the fans at night. and the air is freshfar more so than in air-conditioned buildings, where up to 30% of the air is recycled. 32. why was eastgate cheaper to be built than a conventional building? a. it was designed in a smaller size. b. no air conditioners were fixed in. c. its heating system was less advanced.d. it used rather different building materials.33. what does “it” refer to in paragraph 3?a. fresh air from outside.b. heat in the building.c. hollow space.d. baseboard vent. 34. why would a building like eastgate not work efficiently in new york?a. new york has less clear skies as harare.b. its dampness affects the circulation of air.c. new york covers a larger area than harare.d. its temperature changes seasonally rather than daily.35. the data in the last paragraph suggests eastgates temperature control system_.a. allows a wide range of temperatures b. functions well for most of the yearc. can recycle up to 30% of the aird. works better in hot seasons第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，共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。is online school for you?have you ever wished you didnt have to wake up early and go all the way to school? for 700,000 american kids, this wish comes true. _36_ this kind of learning has different names: online learning or distance learning. regardless of what it is called, this idea may create an impression of a lonely kid reading pages of information on a computer screen rather than from a book or an image of another kid spending the day playing video games instead of learning mathematics or reading a book. where online education is concerned, both of these are false! actually, online learning simply means learning differently._37_ flexibility is the main advantage. students can attend school wherever and whenever they desire. homework can be turned in from anywhere the student has internet access. additionally, many online schools will allow students to work at their own pace. another advantage of online schooling is with the variety of courses. most online schools teach the same basic classes like english, math, science, and history. _38_ however, traditional schools are often unable to offer these types of classes if there are not enough students. online schools also have different types of learning tools for kids to use. for example, many online schools have special web sites where only students registered in online classes can watch videos, see lessons presented, or chat with teachers and other students. some online schools have live class times where students can call and talk with the teacher directly. _39_computer technology is amazing, and we use computers for chatting with our friends, listening to music, and playing games. _40_ since 2006, at least 38 states either have their own online schools or made rules for students attending them. it looks like online schools are here to stay, but only you can decide if this type of learning is right for you.a. online schools offer many benefits for the learners.b. of course, there are some drawbacks of going to school online.c. almost every part of our lives is affected by it, and school is no exception.d. they attend school over the internet using ordinary home or library computers.e. other online schools even have online clubs where kids can talk about their hobbies.f. some online schools also offer specialized classes in subjects such as space science, french, or zoology.g. for some students, online school may be ideal, but for others, traditional school may better meet their needs. 第三部分：英语知识运用
