It is used in foods around the world such as cakes, bread, frozen meats, fish and vegetables. In the beginning, people thought MSG was safe just like salt and sugar. However, in 1968 some people reported they seemed to have bad reactions (反应) to MSG after having had a meal at a restaurant. They included headaches and quick heartbeat (心跳). It was also reported that MSG excited a persons brain and caused his death in Japan. Scientists think that MSG may lead to many neurological disorders (神经紊乱). In mice studies done by a university, the evidence showed the mice didnt want to eat the food including MSG.Today many food companies hide MSG on food labels (标签) by using different names. If you see natural flavorings, hydrolyzed protein and spices in a food label, you are probably seeing a hidden way to report MSG in a food label. Every time we have a meal in a restaurant, we always feel the food very delicious to taste, but sometimes it is dangerous for our health because some poisonous food additives have been added to the food.To protect peoples health, our governments, from central to local, are taking actions to stop factories producing poisonous food additives.（1）Monosodium Glutamate is _. A . a foodB . an additiveC . a factoryD . a country（2）MSG is often used in _. A . frozen meatsB . cupsC . clothesD . book covers（3）The examples in the second paragraph tell us _. A . the food including MSG is delicious B . people like to eat in a restaurantC . mice like eating the food including MSGD . MSG is not safe sometimes（4）If you see natural flavorings, hydrolyzed protein and spices in a food label, you will know _. A . you must eat the food in a hidden wayB . the food label must be hiddenC . MSG is probably added to the foodD . you must report the food to your parents（5）The underlined word substance in the article means _. A . colourB . materialC . tasteD . Food24. （10分）阅读理解 Some people wonder why countries spend millions of dollars on space projects. They want to know how space research helps people on Earth. Actually, space technology helps people on Earth every day. This is called spinoff technology. Spinoff technology is space technology that is now used on Earth.In early space programs, such as the Apollo missions(任务) of the 1960s and 1970s, and in the space shuttle missions today, scientists developed objects for the astronauts to use on the moon and in space. We now use some of these objects every day. For example, we have Quartz clocks and watches with an accuracy of one minute a year. We purify the water we drink with a water filter(过滤器) designed for the astronauts use in space. The cordless, hand-held tools we use in our homes, such as cleaners, flashlights, drills, and irons came from the technology of these early space programs.On cold winter days, we can stay warm with battery - operated shoes and socks, and insulated(绝缘的) coats and jackets. All of these clothes are similar to the spacesuit designs that keep astronauts comfortable in the temperatures of the moon, and are spinoffs from space technology.These products are only a few examples of the many ways space technology helps us in our everyday life. No one knows how new spinoff technology from the International Space Station will help us in the future.（1）Which of the following is NOT a spinoff? A . Water filtersB . Quartz watchesC .
