Since it is often used simultaneously by both family members as well as guests, the kitchen requires not only a glamorous look but a practical one. Also, the design elements must meet the needs of the modern family. Environmental concerns have had an enormous impact on kitchen design. This concern includes recycling of household materials, as well as energy efficient appliances and the purity of both water and air. Research shows that up to 85 percent of the population is concerned about what might be in their drinking water. They are also often dissatisfied with the taste and odor of what comes out of their tap. This is why its important to consider adding a water filter system. The character of todays kitchen is very different from the way it was thirty years ago. Theres more sophistication in food preparation, and more technological help with cooking and clean up. When choosing cabinets, first consider the style. Use the architectural style of your house as a guide. Because cabinets are a big investment, it is best to choose quality. Popular styles in kitchen cabinets are framed panel doors with raised or recessed panels of wood, cabinet fronts with glass panes, or simple slab doors in a rich painted or laminated finish. Cabinet pulls, handles and knobs are offered in a myriad of designs and finishes. Treat hardware as jewelry and dont be afraid to mix and match styles. Because many of todays kitchens consist of two or more cooks sharing in the meal preparation, there is a need for more counter space, cooktops and sinks. Although lifestyles are changing, the primary function of the kitchen as an area for preparing food has remained unchanged. The sink remains one of the most used areas in the kitchen as well as an important decorative statement. Appliance technology is moving at a very fast pace. Choosing what type of appliances as well as how many will depend on several factors such as how often and how much you cook and the size of your kitchen. Dont limit yourself to one of each kind of appliance. You can have a refrigerator in one place and a freezer in a separate area or two sets of cooktops, one on the counter next to the wall oven and one on an island. You can even have two dishwashers if size and budget require and permitthink of it as saving time in the long run. 16A well-designed kitchen should bemodern, beautiful and practical at the same time.

Its chicken soup, one prominent American food expert says. From Russian villages to Africa and Asia, chicken soup has been the remedy for those weak in body and spirit. Mothers passed their knowledge on to ancient writers of Greece, China and Rome, and even 12th century philosopher and physician Moses Maimonides extolled (赞美)its virtues. Among the ancients, Aristotle thought poultry should stand in higher estimation than four-legged animals because the air is less dense than the earth. Chickens got another boost (吹捧)in the Book of Genesis, where it is written that birds and fish were created on the fifth day, a day before four-legged animals. But according to Mimi Sheraton, who has spent much of the past three years exploring the world of chicken soup, much of the reason for chickens real or imagined curative (治愈的)powers comes from its color. Her new book, The Whole World Loves Chicken Soup, looks at the beloved and mysterious brew, with dozens of recipes from around the world. Throughout the ages, she said, There has been a lot of feeling that white-colored foods are easier to eat for the weak woman and the ill. In addition, soups, or anything for that matter eaten with a spoon are considered comfort foods Sheraton said. I love soup and love making soup and as I was collecting recipes I began to see this as an international dish. It has a universal mystique as something curative, a strength builder, Sheraton said from her New York home. Her book treats the oldest remedy as if it was brand new. The National Broiler Council, the trade group representing the chicken industry, reported that 51 percent of the people it surveyed said they bought chicken because it was healthier, 50 percent said it was versatile, 41 percent said it was economical and 46 percent said it was low in fat. 31Which of the following can be the best title of the passage? _ AProminent American Foods BHistory of the Chicken Soup CChicken Soup Recipes DChicken Soup, a Universal Cure-All 32Since ancient times, the value of chicken soup_ Ahas been over-estimated Bhas been widely acknowledged Chas been appreciated only by philosophers Dhas been known only to mothers 33Which of the following statements is NOT true? _ AChicken soup has a very long history. BSince ancient times, chicken soup has been a home remedy. CPoultry usually stands higher than four-legged animals. DFour-legged animals were said to be created on the sixth day. 34Chicken soup has curative powers mainly for _according to Sheraton. Aits color Bits taste Cits flavor Dits recipe 35It can be said from the survey that chicken is _ Aa main dish Ba popular food Ccheaper than any other food Dall of the above 第二篇 Whether Is Reintroduction of the Death Penalty Necessary? In the USA, 85% of the population over the age of 21 approve of the death penalty. In the many states which still have the death penalty, some use the electric chair, which can take up 20 minutes to kill, while others use gas or lethal injection. The first of these was the case of Ruth Ellis who was hanged for shooting her lover in what was generally regarded as a crime passion. The second was hanged for murders which, it was later proved, had been committed by someone else. The pro-hanging lobby (赞成极刑的活动集团) uses four main arguments to support its call for the reintroduction of capital punishment. First there is the deterrence theory, which argues that potential murders would think twice before committing the act if they knew that they might die if they were caught. The armed bank robber might, likewise, go back to being unarmed. The other two arguments are more suspect. The idea of retribution demands that criminals should get what they deserve: if a murderer intentionally set out to commit a crime, he should accept the consequences. Retribution, which is just another word for revenge, is supported by the religious doctrine of an eye for an eye or a tooth for a tooth. The arguments against the death penalty are largely humanitarian (人道主义的). But there are also statistical reasons for opposing it: the deterrence figures do not add up. In Britain, 1903 was the record year for execution and yet in 1904 the number of murders actually rose. There was a similar occurrence in 1946 and 1947. If the deterrence theory were correct, the rate should have fallen. The other reasons to oppose the death penalty are largely a matter of individual conscience and belief. One is that murder is murder and that the state has no more right to take a life than the individual. The other is that Christianity advises forgiveness, not revenge. 36All of the following death penalty methods are mentioned in the passage EXCEPT_. Athe electric chair Bthe lethal injection Cthe poisonous gas Dthe shooting 37According to the first four paragraphs, which of the following statements is NOT correct? _. ARuth Ellis was shot by his lover, which was regarded as a crime of passion. BThe death penalty may help the potential murderers to arouse moral awareness. CThe intentional murderer should eat his own hitter fruit. DAccording to the religious doctrine, punishment should be as severe as the injury suffered. 38In paragraph 3, deterrence means _ Aproclamation Bprotest Cprevention Dprotection 39We can learn from the last paragraph that _ Aneither the state nor the individual has the right to taken a life Bthe state has the right to take a life but the individual does not Cthe death penalty has nothing to do with individual conscience and belief Dthe deterrence figures have added up and the execution rate has fallen 40The passage is mainly about_ Athe argument in favor of the death penalty Bthe argument against the death penalty Cthe argument about the abolition of the death penalty Dthe argument about the reintroduction of the death penalty 第三篇 Nuclear Power and Its Danger Nuclear powers danger to health, safety, and even life itself can be summed up in one word: radiation. Nuclear radiation has a certain mystery, about it, partly because it cannot be detected by human senses. It cant be seen or heard, or touched, or tasted, even though it may be all around us. There are other things like that. For example, radio waves are all around us but we cant detect them, sense them, without a radio receiver. Similarly, we cant sense radioactivity without a radiation detector. But unlike common radio waves, nuclear radiation is not harmless to human beings and other living things. At very high levels, radiation can kill an animal or human being outright by killing masses of cells in vital organs. But even the lowest level of radiation can do serious damage. There is no level of radiation that is completely safe. If the radiation does not hit anything important, the damage may not be significant. This is the case when only a few cells are hit, and if they are killed outright. Your body will replace the dead cells with healthy ones. But if the few cells are only damaged, and if they reproduce themselves, you may be in trouble. They reproduce themselves in a deformed way. They can grow into cancer. Sometimes this does not show up for many years. This is another reason for some of the mystery about nuclear radiation. Serious damage can be done without the victim being aware at the time that damage has occurred. A person can be irradiated and feel fine, then die of cancer five, ten, or twenty years later as a result. Or a child can be born weak or liable to serious illness as result of radiation absorbed by its grandparents. Radiation can hurt us. We must know the truth. 41According to the passage, the danger of nuclear power lies in_. Anuclear mystery Bradiation detection Cnuclear radiation Dradiation level 42Radiation can cause serious consequences even at the lowest level_. Awhen it kills few cells Bif it damages few cells Cthough the damaged cells can repair themselves Dunless the damaged cells can reproduce themselves 43The underlined word significant in paragraph 3 most probably means_. Afatal Bmeaningful Cremarkable Dharmful 44Radiation can hurt us in the way that it can_. Akill large numbers of cells in main organs so as to cause death immediately Bdamage cells
