a. because of science there is no polluted food any more. b. science makes food have less value. c. as a result of scientific invention, some things that may be harmful have been added to our food. d. now the scientists can keep the color of meat but not that of vegetable.45. what are nitrates used for?a. they keep flavor of food. b. they keep the color of meat.c. they keep food fresh. d. they make animals fatter.46. according to the passage, which of the following statements is true?a. some additives besides nitrates can cause cancer.b. all additives cause illness.c. all additives can cause cancer.d. nitrates except other additives can cause cancer.47. which of the following statements is not true? a. drugs are always given to animals for medical reasons. b. some additives in our food are added not only to the food but also to the animal. c. scientists knew that some additives are harmful to people over sixty years ago. d. food may cause 40 percent of cancer in the worldcback in the fifteenth century, in a village near nuremberg, lived a family with eighteen children. despite the hopeless condition, two of the children, albrecht durer and his elder brother albert durer, had a dream. they both wanted to become artists. after many long discussions, the two boys finally worked out an agreement. they would toss (投掷) a coin. the loser would go down to the nearby mines and, with his earnings, support his brother while he attended the academy (大学). then, when that brother completed his studies, in four years, he would support the other at the academy.tossing a coin, albrecht won and went off to nuremberg. albert went down to the dangerous mines and, for the next four years, supported his brother, whose work at the academy was excellent. by the time albrecht graduated, he had earned a lot of money for his works of art.when the young artist returned to his village, albrecht thanked his brother for the years of support that enabled him to realize his dream. “ and now, albert, it is your turn. now you can go to nuremberg to go for your dream, and i will take care of you.”tears running down his face, albert said,” no, brother. i cannot go to nuernberg. it is too late for me. lookwhat four years in the mines has done to my hands! i have been suffering from arthritis (关节炎) so badly that i cannot even hold a wine glass. no, brother . for me it is too late !”later, albrecht durer drew his brothers hands. he called his drawing simply hands, and later it was renamed the praying hands.more than 500 years have passed. among the works of albrecht durer, the praying hands, is probably the most familiar to people. reproductions of it hang in peoples homes or offices.next time you see a copy of that touching painting, take a second look. let it be your reminder if you still need one no one ever makes it alone!48. why did the two brothers work out the agreement?a. they were curious about the result.b. their family couldnt afford their attending the academy.c. they had to support the other sisters and brothers in the family.d. neither of them wanted to study in the academy.49. why couldnt albert go to the academy after four years?a. albrecht changed his mind and refused to support albert.b. albrecht was not able to earn enough money to support albert.c. albert didnt have a great love for painting any more.d. albert couldnt hold a pen or brush to paint.50. which of the following is true according to the passage?a. it proved that albrecht was not good at painting.b. albrecht couldnt earn any money while he was studying at the academy.c. years of hard work in the mines brought great suffering to albert.d. in the painting “the praying hands”, the hands were albrechts.51. what does the underlined sentence imply (暗示)?a. you can achieve success all on your own.b. cooperation is important if you want to succeed.c. there is other peoples sacrifice (牺牲) behind your success.d. no one will succeed without working hard.dthe earth is the only planet that scientists think has life. why does the earth have life while the other planets (行星) dont?

scientists are not sure, but there has been no sign so far.52. which of the following is not the reason that the earth has life?a. the earth is just the right temperature.b. the volcanoes on earth are lower than those on mars.c. there is oxygen in the atmosphere of the earth.d. the earth seems to be just the right distance away from the sun.53. the underlined phrase “the third planet” in the first paragraph refers to _.a. the sun b. the moon c. the earth d. the mars54which of the following about the mars is not true?a. it has been confirmed that there were living things on mars.b. mars has the largest volcano in the solar system.c. there is almost no oxygen in the air on mars.d. mars is smaller than the earth, and it is quite a bit cooler.55.the best title of the passage should be_ . a. living things on our earth b. the earth c. living things on the mars d. mars is most like the earth第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10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。如果答案为e,就涂ab；答案为f,涂 ac ；答案为g,涂 ad where would you most like to go on vacation?
