12、 and skin food and bone food 16 no one has been able to prove that fish is any 17 (good)for the brain than many other foods. Another such idea is that you should not drink water with meals. Washing food down 18 water as a substitute for chewing is not a good idea, but some water with meals has been

13、found to be helpful 19 makes the digestive juices flow more freely and helps to digest the food. A few years ago the belief became general 20 orange juice and milk should never be drunk at the same time. The reason 21 (give) was that the acid in the orange juice would make the milk curdle(凝结）and bec

14、ome indigestible. As a matter of fact, milk always meets in the stomach a digestive juice which curdles it; the curdling of the milk is 22 first step in its digestion. Still another wrong idea about mixing foods is that proteins and carbohydrates should never 23 (eat) simultaneously. Many people thi

15、nk of bread, for example, as a carbohydrate food. It is 24 (chief) a carbohydrate food, but it also contains proteins. 25 the same way, milk, probably the best single food, contains both proteins and carbohydrates.II 阅读（共两节，满分50分）第一节阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。AAs any hom

16、emaker who has tried to keep order at the dinner table knows, there is far more to a family meal than food. Sociologist Michael Lewis has been studying 50 families to find out just how much more. Lewis and his co-workers carried out their study by videotaping the families while they ate ordinary mea

17、ls in their own homes. They found that parents with small families talk actively with each other and their children. But as the number of children gets larger, conversation gives way to the parents efforts to control the loud noise they make. That can have an important effect on the children. “In ge

18、neral the more question-asking the parents do, the higher the childrens IQ scores,” Lewis says. “And the more children there are, the less question-asking there is. ”The study also provides an explanation for why middle children often seem to have a harder time in life than their siblings. Lewis fou

19、nd that in families with three or four children, dinner conversation is likely to center on the oldest child, who has the most to talk about, and the youngest, who needs the most attention. “Middle children are invisible,” says Lewis. “When you see someone get up from the table and walk around durin

20、g dinner, chances are that its the middle child. ” There is, however, one thing that stops all conversation and prevents anyone from having attention: “When the TV is on,” Lewis says, “dinner is a non-event. ”26. The writers purpose in writing the text is to _. A. show the relationship between paren

21、ts and childrenB. teach parents ways to keep order at the dinner tableC. report on the findings of a studyD. give information about family problems27. Parents with large families ask fewer questions at dinner because_. A. they are busy serving food to their childrenB. they are busy keeping order at

22、the dinner tableC. they have to pay more attention to younger childrenD. they are tired out having prepared food for the whole family28. By saying “Middle children are invisible” in paragraph 3, Lewis means that middle children_. A. have to help their parents to serve dinnerB. get the least attentio

23、n from the familyC. are often kept away from the dinner tableD. find it hard to keep up with other children29. Lewis research provides an answer to the question_. A. why TV is important in family lifeB. why parents should keep good orderC. why children in small families seem to be quieterD. why midd

It is a good idea to have the TV on during dinner. Ks5uC. Parents should talk to each of their children frequently. D. Elder ch

25、ildren should help the younger ones at dinnerBTaiwan police cannot decide whether to treat it as an extremely clever act of stealing or an even cleverer cheat (诈骗). Either way, it could be the perfect crime (犯罪), because the criminals are birds-horning pigeons! The crime begins with a telephone mess

26、age to the owner of a stolen car: if you want the car back, pay up then. The car owner is directed to a park, told where to find a bird cage and how to attach money to the neck of the pigeon inside. Carrying the money in a tiny bag, the pigeon flies off. There have been at least four such pigeon pic

27、k-ups in Changwa. What at first seemed like the work of a clever stay-at-home car thief, however, may in fact be the work of an even lazier and more inventive criminal mind-one that avoids not only collecting money but going out to steal the car in the first place. Police officer Chen says that the

28、criminal probably has played a double trick: he gets money for things he cannot possibly return. Instead of stealing cars, he lets someone else do it and then waits for the car-owner to place an ad in the newspaper asking for help. The theory is supported by the fact that, so far, none of the stolen

29、 cars have been returned. Also, the amount of money demanded-under 3,000 Taiwanese dollars-seems too little for a car worth many times more. Demands for pigeon-delivered money stopped as soon as the press reported the story. And even if they start again, Chen holds little hope of catching the crimin

30、al. “We have more important things to do,” he said. 31. After the car owner received a phone call, he _. A. went to a certain pigeon and put some money in the bag it carried B. gave the money to the thief and had his car back in a park C. sent some money to the thief by mailD. told the press about i

A. the car thief who stays at homeB. one of those who put the ads in the paper C. one of the policemen in ChangwaD. the owner of the pigeons 33. The writer mentions the fact that “none of the stolen cars have been returned” to show _. A. ho

34、ry Mahoney began looking at colleges for their 17-year-old daughter, Maureen. With a checklist of criteria in hand, the Dallas family looked around the country visiting half a dozen schools. They sought a university that offered the teenagers intended major, one located near a large city, and a camp

35、us where their daughter would be safe. “The safety issue is a big one,” says Joe Mahoney, who quickly discovered he wasnt alone in his worries. On campus tours other parents voiced similar concerns, and the same question was always asked: what about crime? But when college officials always gave the

36、same answer-“Thats not a problem here,” Mahoney began to feel uneasy. “No crime whatsoever?” comments Mahoney today. “I just dont buy it. ” Nor should he: in 1999 the U. S. Department of Education had reports of nearly 400,000 serious crimes on or around our campuses. “Parents need to understand tha

37、t times have changed since they went to college,” says David Nichols, author of Creating a Safe Campus. “Campus crime mirrors the rest of the nation. ” But getting accurate information isnt easy. Colleges must report crime statistics by law, but some hold back for fear of bad publicity, leaving the

38、honest ones looking dangerous. “The truth may not always be obvious,” warns S. Daniel Carter of Security on Campus, Inc, the nations leading campus safety watchdog group. To help concerned parents, Carter promised to visit campuses and talk to experts around the country to find out major crime issue

39、s and effective solutions. 36. The Mahoneys visited quite a few colleges last August _.

Vicki Brown, 30, played a very important role in ending the nationwide manhunt. Vicki, who has worked at the Royal Hotel for four years, told of her terrible experience

44、when she had to steal into Biebers bedroom and to watch him secretly. Then she waited alone for three hours while armed police prepared to storm the building. She said: “I was very nervous. But when I opened the hotel door and saw 20 armed policemen lined up in the car park I was so glad they were t

45、here. ”The alarm had been raised because Vicki became suspicious of the guest who checked in at 3 pm the day before New Years Eve with little luggage and wearing sunglasses and a hat pulled down over his face. She said: “He didnt seem to want to talk too much and make any eye contact. ” Vicki, the o

46、nly employee on duty, called her boss Margaret, 64, and husband Stan McKale, 65, who phoned the police at 11 pm.

And more often than not it is locally grown and

54、seasonal, so it is more tasty.” Gold is one of a growing number of shoppers buying into the organic trend, and supermarkets across Britain are counting on more like him as they grow their organic food business. Ks5uB. Market research shows that Gold and others who buy organic food can generally give

55、 clear reasons for their preferences, but their knowledge of organic food is far from complete. For example, small amounts of pesticides can be used on organic products. And about three quarters of organic food in Britain is not local but imported to meet growing demand. “The demand for organic food

56、 is increasing by about one third every year, so it is a very fast­growing market,”said Sue Flock, a specialist in this line of business.C. Many cities around the world today are heavily polluted. Careless methods of production and lack of consumer demand for environmentally­friendly produ

57、cts have contributed to the pollution problem. One result is that millions of tons of glass, paper, plastic and metal containers are produced, and these are difficult to get rid of.D. However, today, more and more consumers are choosing “green” and demanding that the products they buy should be safe

58、 for the environment. Before they buy a product，they ask questions like these:“Will this shampoo damage the environment？”“Can this metal container be reused or can it only be used once？”E. Only a few years ago, it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets, but now there are hundreds. Som

59、e supermarket products carry labels to show that the product is green. Some companies have made the manufacturing of clean and safe products their main selling point and emphasized it in their advertising.F. The concern for a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how they do busi

60、ness. No longer will the public accept the old attitude of “Buy it, use it, throw it away, and forget it.”The public pressure is on, and gradually business is cleaning up its act.请阅读以下读者的信息，然后匹配读者和他/她最适合的杂志。46.
