had a problem.Chocolate can last a long time，Gunders adds，but it often develops a white coating.This happens when some of the crystalline fat melts and rises to the top.Its not mould，she says，and its fine to eat.People throw out eggs much earlier than they need to，says Gunders.They can last up to 35 weeks.But keep them at a temperature below 5 degrees，says Ted Labuza，a professor of food science at the University of Minnesota.Milk will smell or taste bad long before it makes you sick，says Labuza.Dont let the container sit out at room temperature.Close it quickly and return it to the refrigerator，which should be set at around 2 degrees.答案1.B2.C3.A4.B5.C6.C7.B8.B 9C10.B11.B12.C13.C14.C15.B16.C 17B18.C19.A20.B第二部分：阅读理解(共两节，满分35分)第一节(共10个小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。AThe first living creatures to travel in space were the dogs of the Soviet Unions space program.Beginning in 1951 dogs flew aboard suborbital flights to the height of 63 miles and higher.They helped to test the equipment that would later be used by humans.The first pair of dogs to fly, on July 22, 1951, were named Tsygan and Dezik.Space dogs would make history on November 3，1957.On this date, just one month after the historic launch of the worlds first artificial satellite, Sputnik, the Soviet Union shocked the world again by launching Sputnik 2.This satellite contained the first living creature to travel in space, a dog named Laika.Laika was to have orbited for a week or more until her food and oxygen ran out.In fact, Laika lasted only hours in orbit before over heating in her capsule(太空舱) took her life.That next step, occurred in August 1960, when the dogs Belka and Strelka made 18 orbits of earth and returned alive.Like Laika before them, they became distinguished,_featured in newspapers and magazines around the world.Six more orbital dog flights over the next eight months further tested the equipment necessary for humans for follow in the dogs footsteps.That historic event happened on April 12, 1961, when Yuri Gagarin became the first human to travel in space.The role of the space dogs had proven important in advancing the exploration of space.But, they would make one final flight.In 1966, traveling aboard the Cosmos 110 satellite, the dogs Ugolek and Veterok spent 22 days in orbit.Once again dogs led the way.Humans would not achieve a space flight that long for eight more years, in Skylab 2.【语篇解读】狗也能上太空旅行？是的，狗作为第一位上太空的动物，确实为太空探索起到很大的作用。21From the passage we may infer that _ALaika couldnt return to the earth aliveBTsygan and Dezik became world famous after they returned to the earth safelyCLaika was not as famous as Belka and Strelka Dman traveled earlier in space than gods答案A推理判断题。根据第二段中的Laika lasted only hours in orbit before over heating in her capsule(太空舱) took her life.可以推测Laika没能活着回到地球。22The underlined word “distinguished” in Paragraph 3 probably means _Acrazy Bterrified Canxious Dfamous 答案D词义猜测题。根据画线单词后面的featured in newspapers and magazines around the world可知，画线单词的意思应该是“出名；著名”之意。23According to the passage, space dogs _Aplayed an important part in space explorationBwere used to walk on the surface of planets instead of manCdid more research work than man when traveling in spaceDcould stay longer in space than man 答案A细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句可知答案。BScientists pinpointed areas of the world where Evolutionarily Distinct and Globally Endangered (EDGE) mammals and amphibians(两栖动物) occur.Regions containing the highest concentrations of these species are highlighted as global conservation priorities.The map reveals that high priority conservation areas for mammals and amphibians are different, reflecting the varied evolutionary histories and threats facing the two groups.For mammals, management efforts are best focused in Southeast Asia, southern Africa and Madagascar.For amphibians, Central and southern America are highlighted as priorities.Professor Jonathan Baillie says: “The results of the mapping exercise are alarming.Currently only five percent of the areas weve identified as priorities for EDGE mammals and 15 percent of the EDGE amphibian areas are protected.These areas highlighted should all be global conservation priorities because they contain species that are not only highly threatened but also unique in the way they look, live and behave.These new maps will inform the development of largerscale work to help secure the future of some of the most remarkable species on Earth.”Madagascars blackandwhite ruffed lemur(狐猴) is the largest lemur in the world and is threatened by hunting and the loss of its forest habitat to logging, mining and cutting and burning for agriculture.The Sunda pangolin(穿山甲), occurs in Southeast Asia and is threatened by illegal hunting for its meat, as well as its scales which are thought to have high medicinal value.Other mammal species occurring in priority areas include the black rhino and western lowland gorilla.Amphibians are facing a terrifying rate of extinction making them the most threatened animals in the world.The Mexican salamander(火蜥蜴)is critically endangered due to urbanization(城市化), polluted waters, and the introduction of nonnative fish which eat the axolotls young.With the aid of the global map of EDGE amphibians, it will now be possible to concentrate efforts in countries such as, Mexico, Costa Rica and Guatemala where the most distinct and threatened species are found.Professor Jonathan Baillie says：“This is the first global map to take into account species uniqueness as well as threat.Now that weve identified EDGE priority areas for mammals and amphibians we can more effectively continue to ensure their protection.”24Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?AMost mammals and amphibians in the world become extinctBConservation areas should be set up in more and more areasCWorlds most extraordinary species mapped for the first timeDThe most rare and threatened animals in the world were identified答案C主旨大意题。文章第一段为主题段，以下各段都是围绕这个主题进行说明的。根据第一段内容可知，科学家第一次划定了世界上最特别的动物物种的范围。故选项C可作文章的标题。25The method the writer uses to develop Paragraphs 4 and 5 is _Aoffering analyses Bgiving examplesCproviding explanations Dmaking comparisons答案B推理判断题。为了说明有些动物现在面临的被威胁的处境，作者在第四段和第五段以很多濒临灭绝的动物为例子，说明了他们危险的处境。26It can be known from the passage that _Aconservation areas for mammals and amphibians are almost the sameBhuman activities are the largest threat to mammals and amphibiansCthe global map of EDGE amphibians does no good to threatened species Dscientists still need more researches to establish EDGE priority areas答案B推理判断题。根据文章第四段和第五段内容可知，这是由于人类的活动(打猎、城市化、水源污染等)对动物造成了最大的威胁。CThe goal of every plant and animal is the same: To create the next generation.The way a plant makes another generation of its species is by making seeds.Flowers are the tools that plants use to make their seeds.The job of a flower is to help its pollinator put pollen(花粉) exactly in the right place at the right time to make a seed.When a plants flower succeeds at this, the plant gets to pass the secret for this success to the next generation, through the genetic code in its seeds! When a plant fails to grow up and make seeds, its genetic code does not get passed on.It becomes a loser in the game of life.The environment is constantly testing each plant.Competition for sunlight, water, nutrients and space is fierce.Herbivores(食草动物) are hungry and plants are their breakfast, lunch and dinner! Only the strongest individuals survive long enough to reproduce.These survivors keep making seeds, letting the environment select the winners and losers.Through this selection process plants have evolved(developed) to survive life in every habitat on our planet.This evolution(进化) has filled even the harshest habitats with life, including vernal pools.Although the pollination of a flower may appear to happen by accident, plants and pollinators have been practicing for millions of years to make sure that this “accident” happens.Often a plant and pollinator coevolve (evolve together), adapting to changes in each other to improve their own survival.A plant species may depend on a single species of pollinator to make its seeds.Likewise, many pollinators rely on one plant species to provide all the food for their young.【语篇解读】每个植物和每个动物的目的都是一样的，那就是创造下一代。本文告诉我们植物和动物是如何创造下一代的。27Which of the following is a necessary factor for a plant to become a winner in the game of life?AThe plant fails to grow up.BThe plant makes no seeds.CThere are no pollinators.DThe plants genetic code gets passed on.答案D细节判断题。根据第二段内容可知，A、B、C三个选项都是错误的，再结合When a plant fails to grow up and make seeds, its genetic code does not get passed on可知，遗传密码得以传递是植物得以生存的必要条件。故D正确。28From the second paragraph we can infer that _Athe environment is very important for a plant to surviveBherbivores can increase the development of plantsConly the strongest plants can have seeds to reproduceDsunlight, water, nutrients and space are equal for all the plants答案A推理判断题。根据第三段第一句可以推断，环境对于植物的生存起非常重要的作用。29The underlined word “harshest” in the third paragraph probably means _Aseverest Bbusiest Crichest Dmost valuable 答案A词义猜测题。根据画线单词所在句子可以判断，即使是在有生命的最“严酷”的栖息地，也充满了这种进化。30The last paragraph tells us a truth that _Athe pollination of a flower happens only by beesBplants rely on pollinators to provide all the food for their youngCplants and pollinators depend on each other to surviveDpollinators depend on plants to make seeds答案C推理判断题。根据最后一段Often a plant and pollinator coevolve (evolve together), adapting to changes in each other to improve their own survival.A plant species may depend on a single species of pollinator to make its seeds.Likewise, many pollinators rely on one plant species to provide all the food for their young可知植物和虫媒是相互依存的。第二节(共5个小题；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。While it might seem being a perfectionist(完美主义者) would make a person more successful, recent research suggests that isnt always the case.Perfectionism can certainly lead to mental health problems, such as anxiety.Also, because expectations are so high, goals often go unsatisfying._31_ So whats a perfectionist to do to be happy and healthy?_32_ Perfectionists need to be kind to themselves and realize that being perfect doesnt have to be the ultimate goal.They are so busy criticizing themselves they dont realize they can be kind to themselves.The bottom line is to remember youre only human.No one is perfect, everyone makes mistakes.Ask for help._33_A huge problem that fuels the unhappiness is they are low in self acceptance and accepting others.Asking for help means perfectionists would have to admit that they are not perfect.Once
