Nowadays, it is quite possible to eat both well and heartily all over the island.Tourism has made a vast difference to the standards of cooking in Ireland. Until recently there was hardly any tradition of eating out in many districts, except perhaps on very few occasions at a local hotel. Patterns of diet were old-styled, based firmly on meat and two vegetables (somewhat overcooked), potatoes (of course) and large quantities of dairy produce. Now things are very different. Tourist demands for predictable, inexpensive fast-food are met, as everywhere, with hamburgers and pizzas - a better bet being fish and chips. But more sophisticated tastes have introduced wholefoods and vegetarian restaurants (almost unheard of before), and a vast number of new restaurants, often French in style, have opened in the main tourist centres. Food events such as Kinsales Gourmet festival or Galways Oyster Festival attract large numbers of visitors and reflect the new interest in food.Whatever Irish cooking lacks in finesse（精细）, it nearly always makes up for in plenty, and ingredients(成分) are of a high quality. Home-grown produce includes rich dairy foods, beef, lamb and pork, and a great variety of seafood. One of its great specialities is soda bread. It is made with buttermilk and is served fresh and warm with every meal. Recently there has been a return to simple Irish foods such as stews（炖菜）and potato dishes.One of the best-value meals in Ireland is breakfast. A traditional Irish breakfast is a plateful of bacon and eggs with soda and potato breads. Accommodation rates are nearly always quoted with a full breakfast included, so you might as well eat enough to keep you going all day and get your moneys worth!36 What was Irish food like until quite recently?A. It was very conservative and uninteresting.B. It was influenced by French cooking.C. It was very unhealthy.D. It was plentiful37. How has Irish food improved in recent years?A. There are more French restaurants. B. Food produce is fresher.C. There is more kinds. D. Food is more expensive38 What is the main reason for this improvement?A. People have more money to spend.B. The development of tourism.C. People have more tastes today.D. Young people dislike traditional food39 How does the passage describe Irish cooking today?A. It is exciting and interesting. B. It is boring and overcooked.C. It is plentiful and simple. D. It is good-looking and tastes bad40.Which of the following statements is true according to the text?A. Eating out at weekends is traditional in most parts of Ireland.B. Today most Irish people prefer fast-foods to the traditional Irish cooking.C. Nowadays French-style restaurants are quite common in tourist centres.D. Many Irish people are vegetarians and grow their own vegetables.BWhat would you think if someone suggested knocking down St Pauls Cathedral to widen the road? Or pulling down Big Ben to make way for a car park? It would be ridiculous, right? But when it comes to devastation (毁灭) of the natural world, we arent so easily shocked. But we should beor well be in a lot of trouble.Nature is shrinking by the day. Ancient forests are destroyed. Wetlands are becoming dry. Woodland is disappearing, and all in the name of progress. This is bad in itself, but its devastating for biodiversity.Biodiversity refers to the variety of plants, animals and other living things that are all interconnected. The ecological services provided by biodiversity are vital to everyday life. The air we breathe is a product of photosynthesis (光合作用) by green plants. Insects, worms and bacteria break down waste and make soils rich. And tiny organisms clean the water in rivers and sea. In fact, all life on the earth exists thanks to the benefits of biodiversity. More than 90 percent of the calories consumed by people worldwide are produced from 80 plant species. And 30 percent of medicines are developed from plants and animals. Maintaining a wide diversity of species in each ecosystem is necessary to preserve all living things.The loss of biodiversity could be devastating. “It is wrong to think that biodiversity can be reduced indefinitely without threatening humans,” said Harvard University biologist Edward O. Wilson, known as the “father of biodiversity”. He warned, “We are about to reach a critical point beyond which biodiversity loss will become irreversible (不可挽回的).”But what can we do? The present problem is that the concept of biodiversity is so vague (含糊的). People might care about giant pandas, but it is much harder to excite them about the fate of tiny sea creatures which are being boiled to death in the cooling systems of power stations along coastlines. The Guardian newspaper is trying to help. It has launched the Biodiversity 100 campaign to try to convince governments around the world to take action to deal with the widespread concerns about biodiversity. This includes persuading the UK government to create a series of marine reserves to reserve the decrease in the sea-life caused by industrial fishing, stopping fishing sharks by the Japanese fishermen and banning the killing of dingoes (wild dogs) in Australia, among many other things.There is a lot to do. And wed better act quickly if we dont want to end up with a planet that cant sustain life!41. The writer thinks it _ to pull down Big Ben to make way for a car park.A. unreasonableB. necessaryC. difficultD. reasonable42. The underlined sentence “Nature is shrinking by the day.” means that _.A. nature is badly polluted by humans Ks5uB. species are becoming fewer and fewer day by dayC. rainforests are being cut down every dayD. nature is full of mysteries43. Edward O. Wilson thinks that _.A. it doesnt matter to reduce biodiversityB. people have done enough to preserve biodiversityC. the situation of biodiversity is very seriousD. biodiversity loss has become irreversible44. When it comes to biodiversity, the present problem is that _.A. people might not clearly know what is biodiversity and what should be protectedB. people are not aware that giant pandas are endangeredC. people dont realize that biodiversity is vital to everyday lifeD. people hunt sea creatures for food45. What does the underlined word “It” in paragraph 5 refer to?A. The UK government.B. The concept of biodiversity.C. The action to deal with the problem.D. The Guardian newspaper.CIt is a very common thing for a person to have a good friend.My good friend is Diana.She is a rich and proud girl.She often thinks that she is too good for anyone，so nobody wants to be her friend.One day after school，I was waiting for Diana when Vivien came up to me.She gave me a biscuit.I accepted it.We talked and joked，and from then on，I began to spend more time with Vivien than with Diana.I felt a little uneasy.After a few days，I went to see Diana for some snacks when Vivien came and sat with me.She offered me a sandwich.She also offered one to Diana，but Diana refused it.She walked away.I was angry with Diana for being so rude and thoughtless.“Never mind，”Vivien said，“Im used to it.”After school，I tried to catch up with Diana.While walking home，I tried to correct her attitude，but she would not listen to me.She said，“Go and join your dear Vivien.I know you make new friends and forget the old ones.”For the next few weeks，we did not talk to each other.Then，one day，Diana came to Vivien and me，saying，“Im really sorry about what I did.Im a spoiled girl，but I also need good friends just like you.Would you please forgive me？”Vivien and I looked at each other and smiled.From then on，Diana，Vivien and I have been best friends.”46The writer was angry with Diana _.Abecause she was too good for anyoneBwhen Diana refused Viviens sandwichCthough she asked the writer to forgiveDso Diana walked away47According to the passage，it is clear that _.ADiana and the writer had been good friendsBDiana didnt like sandwichesCVivien didnt want to make new friends at allDthe writer forgot her old friends after she had new one48Viviens saying “Im used to it” shows that _.Asomeone refused to give her thingsBVivien used to be rude to othersCshe liked to be refusedDsome people were rude to her before49Diana asked Vivien and the writer to forgive because _.Athey didnt spend much time with herBshe realized she was wrongCVivien and the writer didnt talk to herDshe was a rich and proud girl50The reading is mainly about _.Athe mistake among the three friendsBtwo best friends at a schoolCthree friends at a schoolDthe trouble between Diana and VivienDTime and how we experience it have always puzzled us. Physicists have created fascinating theories, but their time is measured by a pendulum (钟摆) and is not psychological time, which leaps with little regard to the clock or calendar. As someone who understood the distinction observed, “When you sit with a nice girl for two hours it seems like a minute, but when you sit on a hot stove, a minute seems like two hours.”Psychologists have long noticed that larger units of time, such as months and years, fly on swifter wings as we age. They also note that the more time is structured with schedules and appointments, the more rapidly it seems to pass. For example, a day at the office flies compared with a day at the beach. Since most of us spend fewer days at the beach and more at the office as we age, an increase in structured time could well be to blame for why time seems to speed up as we grow older.Expectation and familiarity also make time seem to flow more rapidly. Almost all of us have had the experience of driving somewhere weve never been before. Surrounded by unfamiliar scenery, with no real idea of when well arrive, we experience the trip as lasting a long time. But the return trip, although exactly as long, seems to take far less time. The novelty of the outward journey has become routine. Thus taking a different route on occasions can often help slow the clock.When days become as identical as beads (小珠子) on a string, they mix together, and even months become a single day. To counter this, try to find ways to interrupt the structure of your dayto stop time, so to speak.Learning something new is one of the ways to slow the passage of time. One of the reasons the days of our youth seems so full and long is that these are the days of learning and discovery. For many of us, learning ends when we leave school, but this doesnt have to be.51 The underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 is used to show _.A. psychological time is quite puzzlingB. time should not be measured by a pendulumC. physical time is different from psychological timeD. physical theory has nothing to do with the true sense of time52. Why do units of time fly faster as we grow older?A. Our sense of time changes.B. We spend less time at the beach.C. More time is structured and scheduled.D. We have too many appointments.53. In Paragraph 3 “novelty” probably means _.A. excitement B. Unfamiliarity C. Imagination D. amusement54. Which statement is TRUE according to the article?A. Expectation makes time seem to run slowly.B. Sitting with a pretty girl always makes time flow fast.C. Learning a new language is a good way to slow time.D. A day at the office is longer than a day at the beach.55. The purpose of the passage is to _.A. give various explanations about timeB. describe how we experience time psychologicallyC. show the different ideas of physicists and psychologi
