21、Our perception of hoe food tastes is influenced by cutlery like knives, forks, and spoons, research suggests.
“Size, weight, shape and color all have an effect on flavor,” says a University of Oxford team. Cheese tastes saltier when eaten from a knife rather than a fork; while white spoons make yoghurt taste better, experiments show.
The study in the journal Flavour suggests the brain makes judgments on food even before it goes in the mouth. More than 100 students took part in three experiments looking at the influence of weight, color and shape of cutlery on taste. The researchers found that when the weight of the cutlery is consistent with expectations, this had an influence on how the food tastes. For example, food tasted sweeter on the small spoons that are traditionally used to serve desserts.
Color contrast was also an important factor-white yoghurt eaten from a white spoon was rated sweeter than white yoghurt tasted on a black spoon. Similarly, when testers were offered cheese on a knife, spoon, fork or toothpick, they found that the cheese on a knife tasted saltiest.
“How we experience food is a multisensory experience involving taste, feel of the food in our mouths, pleasant smells, and the feasting of our eyes,” said Pro. Charles Spence and Dr. Vanessa Harrar. “Even before we put food into our mouths, our brains have made a judgment about it, which affects our overall experience.”
Past research has shown that china can change our perception of food and drink. For example, people generally eat less when food is served on smaller plates. “The new research into how the brain influences food perception could help dieters or improve gastronomic（美食的）experiences at restaurants,” said Pro. Spence. He told BBC News: “There’s a lot more to food than what’s on the plate. Many things we thought didn’t matter do. We’re going to see a lot more of neuroscience（神经科学）design around mealtimes.”
【1】According to the text, we know that the cheese used in the experiment is ________.
A．salty
B．sour
C．sweet
D．bitter
【2】What do we know about the weight of the cutlery in paragraph 3?
A．It is important for people.
B．People usually don’t care about it.
C．It affects how the food tastes.
D．It is always different from people’s expectation.
【3】What does the underlined word “multisensory” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A．Coming from the senses.
B．Involving many different senses.
C．Able to feel or perceive.
D．Easily affected by other feelings.
【4】What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A．Research on cutlery is of great importance.
B．Research on food will be continued in the future.
C．Research on the effect of nerves on the taste of food will be done.
D．Research on plates and food will be carried out in the near future.
22、 Les Brown was adopted by Mamie Brown, a kitchen worker and maid, shortly after his birth in a poverty-stricken Miami neighborhood. Les had a dream of being a deejay.
Mamie Brown had taught Les to pursue his dreams. Finally, he got a job at a radio station as an errand boy (跑腿的人).
At the station, he taught himself their hand movements on the control panel. He stayed in the control rooms and soaked up whatever he could until they asked him to leave.
One Saturday afternoon while Les was at the station, a deejay named Rock was drinking while on the air. Les realized that Rock was drinking himself toward trouble. When the phone rang, Les rushed to pick it up. It was the station manager, as he knew it would be.
“Les, I don’t think Rock can finish his program.”
“Yes sir, I know.”
“Would you call one of the other deejays to come in and take over?” “Yes, sir. I sure will.”
Les did dial the telephone, but it wasn’t to call in another deejay. He called his mother first, and then his girlfriend. “You all turn on the radio because I’m about to come on the air!” he said.
He turned on the microphone switch and said, “Look out! This is me LB, Les Brown, your Platter Playing Poppa. There were none before me and there will be none after me. Therefore, that makes me the one and only. Young and single and love to mingle. Certified, undoubtedly qualified to bring you satisfaction, a whole lot of action. Look out, baby, I’m your love man.”
Because of his preparation, Les was ready. He earned the audience and his general manager’s recognition. From that fateful beginning, Les went on to a successful career in broadcasting, politics, public speaking and television.

23、 The year was 1999. I was 18, living with friends in a town about an hour north of Milwaukee. Desperate for adventure, we often talked about haunted (闹鬼的) locations, and even wandered around the woods near Rienzi Cemetery. So when a friend shared a story about an abandoned house just down the road from Rienzi, how could I possibly resist? The group of us jumped in the car and headed off into the wild unknown, completely unaware of the misfortune that would soon befall us.
The house was isolated, overgrown and barely visible from the road. Most of its windows were broken. It seemed completely neglected except the locked door and a NO ENTRY sign outside. How would anyone notice, or possibly even care, if we went in and looked around?
We stole inside, hoping for anything to prove the legend. Nothing valuable was found until an old letter, addressed to a Mr. J. Witherell, caught my eye. Its paper was stiff and yellowed. Excited by the physical evidence, I slipped the letter into my back pocket. I was about to exit the house when I noticed firetrucks and police cars lining up out on the road. While most of us were exploring the house, one of us managed to knock a fire detector off the ceiling, which triggered an automated alarm at the fire department. I quickly alerted the others, but there would be no escape.
After a moment of panic, we decided to go outside and face the music. To avoid a theft charge, I left the letter where it was before stepping outside.
The result? Not only did we all get fined for entering, we were required to pay for property damage totaling $1,500 each — too much for us to afford.
For so many years, I have been wondering: Why is the deserted house so heavily protected with detectors and other security measures? Why is the property regularly maintained? What's the story behind that mysterious letter?
【1】What did the shabby appearance of the house seem to remind the kids?
A.They would have no trouble entering it.
B.Their entry would bring them a surprise.
C.Their entry would disturb the neighbours.
D.Their behavior would be noticed by its owner.
【2】Why did the author attempt to take the letter away?
A.It might reveal who had been maintaining the house.
B.It might help uncover the mystery of the abandoned house.
C.It must have been written to disclose a tragedy.
D.It was an evidence of the house being heavily protected.
【3】What led the police cars and firetrucks to arrive so quickly?
A.The police officers were checking there.
B.The house owner reported to the police.
C.The police cars were passing by accident.
D.Some boy started the fire alarm system.
【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.The empty house has been under strict protection.
B.The author wonders why they got fined.
C.No maintenance to the house is conducted regularly.
D.There is much mystery about the abandoned house.
24、Rainforests are a very important part of our planet, giving us oxygen, absorbing carbon dioxide and giving a home to 50% of the animal and plant species of the planet. Not to mention the medicines and cures that are made from the plants that grow there. 【1】 .
What is deforestation? Deforestation is the name given to the damage toe rainforests. This is being done by burning them down, cutting down the trees or flooding the areas. 【2】 It’s reported that an area, the size of one football pitch (足球场), is being destroyed every minute! If this carries on at this speed, it will take less than a hundred years to destroy all the rainforests on Earth.
【3】 People clear the rainforests to make space for producing food, including cattle to be farmed for cheap beef and also growing large crops, such as soya beans. In addition, other causes of deforestation, which are also related to making money, include cutting down and using the wood from the forest, building roads for mining metals, gold or diamonds and something like that.
How can they be saved? 【4】 Also, you could think about the reasons why the forests are being destroyed and how you could help. For example, the cheap beef farmed in the areas that used to be rainforest land is often used in fast food chains. 【5】 You could also check on your supermarket food labels-is it farmed in an area where deforestation is taking place? Besides, you could use rainforest-friendly wood which is not a product of deforestation.
A．This is happening so fast.
B．Why are they being destroyed?
C．What can they provide for humans?
D．You could avoid eating that to save some rainforests.
E．However something unpleasant like deforestation is happening to them every day.
F．You could help by raising money for a charity that protects rainforests.
G．As we destroy forests, we lose their ability to change carbon dioxide into oxygen.
25、 Hot weather has forced dozens of commercial flights to be canceled at airports in the Southwest this summer. This flight-disturbing _______ is a warning sign. Climate change is projected to have far-reaching _______—including sea level rise flooding cities and shifting weather patterns causing long-term declines in agricultural production. And there is evidence that it is beginning to affect the takeoff performance of commercial aircraft, with potential effects on airline _______.
National and global transportation systems and the economic activity they support have been designed for the climate in which it all developed. In the aviation (航空) industry, airports and aircraft are designed for the weather conditions experienced _______. Because the climate is changing, even fundamental elements like airports and key economic parts like air transportation may need to be_______.
As scientists focused on the impacts of climate change and extreme weather on human society and natural ecosystems around the world, our research has quantified how extreme heat associated with our warming climate may affect _______ around the world. We’ve found that major airports from New York to Dubai to Bangkok will see more frequent takeoff weight _______ in the coming decades due to increasingly common hot temperatures, which can help reduce the aircraft’s weight so as to lower its required takeoff speed.
There is obvious evidence that extreme events such as heat waves and coastal flooding are happening with greater frequency and intensity than just a few decades ago. And if we _______ to reduce greenhouse gas emissions significantly in the next few decades, the frequency and intensity of these extremes is projected to increase dramatically.
The _______ on aviation may be widespread. Many airports are built near sea level, putting them at risk of more frequent __________ as oceans rise. The frequency and intensity of violent air movement may increase in some regions due to strengthening high-altitude (高海拔的) winds. Stronger winds would force airlines and pilots to change flight lengths and routings, potentially increasing fuel __________.
Many departments of the economy, including the aviation industry, have yet to seriously __________the effects of climate change. The sooner, the better: Both airport construction and aircraft design take decades, and have __________ effects. Today’s newest planes may well be flying in 40 or 50 years, and their __________ are being designed now. The earlier climate impacts are understood and appreciated, the more effective and less costly adaptations can be. Those adaptations may even include innovative ways to dramatically reduce climate-altering emissions across the aviation industry, which would help reduce the problem while also __________ it.
