Watching the traditional changing of the guard ceremony at Buckingham Palace is a must when in London, and on this 4.5-hour you’ll get to experience this event, as well as other typical British traditions.

Afternoon tea is a British tradition, and to make this casual, elegant experience even more relaxing, you can combine it with a sightseeing cruise of London’s Thames River, the main waterway that flows through the heart of the city. Board a window-lined vessel for an hour-and-a-half voyage from Tower Pier to Westminster that includes traditional tea service with pastries, scones and sandwiches.

24、 Researchers at Pennsylvania State University chose 45 healthy overweight people who agreed to try three different kinds of diets. Their study appeared on Wednesday in the Journal of the American Heart Association.
One was a lowfat diet that included lots of fruits, lowfat milky products, and small amounts of red meat. The other two were moderatefat diets. That is, the fat they included was not very high or very low. The kinds of foods and meals were similar to the lowfat diet, but they included more nuts and oils. The only difference between the two was the avocado(牛油果) -a pearshaped fruit with a thick green or dark purple skin. One diet included a daily serving of one avocado, and the other diet had the same amount of fat from other sources.
At the end of the study, the researchers found that the avocado diet led to a big, noticeable drop in LDL compared with the other two diets. LDL is the bad kind of cholesterol (胆固醇), which is found in your blood. Too much LDL in your body may cause heart disease.
“I was surprised to see the added advantage of the avocado,” said Penny KrisEtherton, a nutrition scientist at Penn State and the lead author of the study.
She says she’d like to do further research to explain the added drop in LDL in the study groups. It’s possible that the fiber in avocados may play a role in lowering the cholesterol, she says. “In the U.S, most people do not eat an avocado every day because of its high prices. Some people take it with chips,” Penny added.
But one caveat for anyone who loves avocado dip (酱): When it’s served up with chips, the calories can add up, which is not good to your health. Calories show how much energy food will produce. A half cup of avocado dip has about 200 calories all on its own.
【1】What can we learn about the three kinds of diets?
A.The lowfat diet mainly included nuts and oils.
B.The avocado diet included three avocados a day.
C.All three diets had totally different kinds of foods.
D.The moderatefat diets probably had milky products.
【2】The study shows that the avocado ________.
A.always causes heart disease
B.makes people put on weight
C.can reduce the level of LDL
D.is a good source of nutrition
【3】What does the underlined word “caveat” probably mean?
A.Joke. B.Choice.
C.Pity. D.Warning.

26、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The birds were singing, and a slight breeze was blowing as I walked out onto the front yard of the house we lived in on Stuart s Lane, near Eureka, Missouri. It was a cool fall morning, and I was a St. Louis County Police Officer. My family and I lived in a house owned by my friend Dr. Wallace Stuart. He had built a stone castle near the house many years earlier and had later moved away. People continually trespassed(擅自进入)on the property and broke into the castle, so he gave me free rent to watch over it.
If anyone went up to the castle at night, our dog Samoa would begin to howl (嗥叫) like a wolf, and I would get dressed, get my gun, badge, ID, and a flashlight, and she and I would go to the dark castle. I trusted Samoa completely, and she would not make a sound until we were in a room with the trespassers. As I turned my flashlight on, she would automatically give out her blood-curling howl, which even caused the boys or men in the group to scream and there was never an incident where they tried to attack me.
On this particular morning, Samoa had begun howling, which usually meant we had trespassers; however, this time, she was looking toward the top of a hill. I examined the hillside carefully for anything she might be howling at, and then I heard a strange sound. It was like a huffing and snorting (呼哧呼哧的) sound a bear would make. I knew there weren’t any bears running free in St. Louis County, but I remembered the Endangered Wolf Center, which was within a mile and a half of our house. I wondered if they might also care for some bears, and possibly one escaped. By this time my wife had heard the sound, and she joined me on the front yard. As we stood there, she agreed the noise did sound like an angry bear.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
As the noise seemed to be coming nearer, I decided to play it safe and took the police-issued shotgun from my car.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Suddenly the “animal” was upon us, but not on the ground with us, for this bear turned out to be a hot air balloon.
