That person was my stepmother.I was nine years old when she entered our home in the countryside of Virginia. My father introduced me to her with these words: “I would like you to meet the fellow who is well known for being the worst boy in this county and will probably start throwing rocks at you no later than tomorrow morning.”My stepmother walked over to me, raised my head slightly upward, and looked at me right in the eye. Then she looked at my father and replied, “You are wrong. This is not the worst boy at all, but the smartest one who hasnt yet found a way to give out his enthusiasm.”That statement began a friendship between us.

Enthusiasm, a Tradition in FamiliesCAquacultureor sea farming, as it is sometimes calledis one of the brightest hopes for finding an answer to the problem of a world food shortage. Although it may be years before sea farming produces large quantities of food, it is already partially successful. One of its successes is the growing of oyster (牡蛎).Oyster farming is a big new business on Cape Cod, where large crops of oysters have been harvested. The waters there were famous for delicious oysters until the supply gave out about fifteen years ago. “Theres a whole generation of people who have never eaten oysters,” said Karl Touraine, marketing director of Aqua Dynamics Corporation, a company that grows oysters on nylon strings (尼龙绳) hanging from metal frames (金属架). “For about twenty years the oyster has been in short supply, and our aim is to change this by using new, modern growing techniques,” he explained.“Wareham, on Cape Cod, is the first place in the US where oysters are being grown on frames just off the bottom of the sea,” said Hank McAvoy of the National Marine Fisheries Service in Gloucester. “But theres nothing new about off-bottom raising,” Mr. McAvoy adds. “Its been done successfully in Norway and Australia and, in the last few years, in Spain. The Japanese have used this form of sea farming for years, and theyre the most successful, with a yearly crop of more than 46,000 pounds of shelled oysters an acre.”The Aqua Dynamics group grows oysters on strings, away from the bottom so that the oysters natural enemies cannot reach them. “When an oyster avoid enemies and live in unpolluted water with plenty to eat, hell grow fast.” Karl Touraine explains. “Oysters will attach themselves to almost anything they can,” he continues. “At Wareham, we use shells which we tie with nylon strings hanging from metal frames. We lower the strings into the water, leaving at least a foot of water between the lowest shell and the bottom.”“So far the growth has been excellent and the taste is just delightful,” Mr. Touraine notes happily.28. Whats the purpose of Paragraph 1?A. To show the importance of farming.B. To encourage people to save food.C. To give a brief introduction to aquaculture.D.

What is the advantage of off-bottom oyster farming?A. It can improve oysters taste.B. It greatly reduces the cost of oyster farmingC. It offers oysters an enemy-free environment.D. It helps control environmental pollution.31. What is Karl Touraines attitude towards off-bottom raising?A. Supportive.B. Unconcerned.C. Worried.D. Unclear.DMany of us love July because its the month when natures berries and stone fruits are in abundance. These colourful and sweet jewels from British Columbias fields are little powerhouses of nutritional protection.Of the common berries, strawberries are highest in vitamin C, although, because of their seeds, raspberries contain a little more protein (蛋白质), iron and zinc (not that fruits have much protein). Blueberries are particularly high in antioxidants (抗氧化物质). The yellow and orange stone fruits such as peaches are high in the carotenoids we turn into vitamin A and which are antioxidants. As for cherries (樱桃), they are so delicious who cares? However, they are rich in vitamin C.When combined with berries of slices of other fruits, frozen bananas make an excellent base for thick, cooling fruit shakes and low fat “ice cream”. For this purpose, select ripe(成熟的) bananas for freezing as they are much sweeter. Remove the skin and place them in plastic bags or containers and freeze. If you like, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on the bananas will keep them turning brown. Frozen bananas will last several weeks, depending on their ripeness and the temperature of the freezer.If you have a juicer, you can simply feed in frozen bananas and some berries or sliced fruit. Out comes a “soft-serve” creamy dessert（甜点）, to be eaten right away. This makes a fun activity for a childrens party; they love feeding the fruit and frozen bananas into the top of the machine and watching the ice cream come out below.32. What does the author seem to like about cherries?A. They contain protein.B. They have a pleasant taste.C. They are high in vitamin A.D. They are rich in antioxidants.33. Why is fresh lemon juice used in freezing bananas?A. To make them smell better.B. To keep their colour.C. To speed up their ripening.D. To improve their nutrition.34. What is “a juicer” in the last paragraph?A. A dessert.B. A drink.C. A machine.D. A kind of fruit.35. From which is the text probably taken?A. A health magazine.B. A chemistry textbook.C. A research paper.D. A travel guide.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。Fun classroom activities for high school studentsClassroom activities can help students relax after long-time lessons.
