26、What do you want to be when you grow up? A teacher? A doctor? How about an ice-cream taster?
Yes, there really is a job where you can get paid to taste ice cream. Just ask John Harrison, an “Official Taste Tester” for the past 21 years. Testing helps producers to be sure of a product’s quality. During his career Harrison has been responsible for approving large quantities of the sweet ice cream –as well as for developing over 75 flavors(味道).
Some people think that it would be easy to do this job; after all, you just have to like ice cream, right? No — there’s more to the job than that, says Harrison, who has a degree in chemistry. He points out that a dairy or food-science degree would be very useful to someone wanting a career in this “cool” field.
In a typical morning on the job, Harrison tastes and rates 60 ice-cream samples. He lets the ice cream warm up to about 12 F. Harrisonexplains, “You get more flavor from warmer ice cream, which is why some kids like to stir it, creating ice-cream soup.”
While the ice cream warms up, Harrison looks over the samples and grades each one on its appearance. “Tasting begins with the eyes,”he explains. He checks to see if the ice cream is attractive and asks himself, “Does the product have the colour expected from that flavor?”Next it’s time to taste!
Continuing to think up new ideas, try out new flavors, and test samples from so many kinds of ice cream each day keeps Harrison busy but happy – working at once cool job.
【1】What is John Harrison’s job?
A．An official.
B．An ice-cream taster.
C．A chemist.
D．An ice-cream producer
【2】According to John Harrison, to be qualified(有资格的) in the “cool field”, it is helpful to .
A．keep a diary of work.
B．have a degree in related subjects.
C．have new ideas every day.
D．find out new flavors each day.
【3】What does Harrison do first when testing ice cream?
A．He stirs the ice cream.
B．He examines the colour of the ice cream.
C．He tastes the flavor of the ice cream.
D．He lets the ice cream warm up.
【4】Which of the following is probably the best title of the passage?
A．Tasting with Eyes.
B．Flavors of Ice Cream.
C．John Harrison’s Life.
D．One Cool Job.
27、College is a lifetime investment(投资)—the gift of a college education can open the door to a world of opportunity for your child or grandchild. Savings(储蓄), even not so many at a time, can make a big difference.
With the cost of a college education continuing to rise, the key is to start saving early and regularly. By saving a set(固定的) amount at set times, your money can grow as your child does. According to the College Board, the average cost for four-year public colleges has increased by nearly 51% over the last 10 years and these costs will almost certainly continue to rise. Saving for college can help with the increasing cost of a college education and help you be well prepared when your child is ready for college.
Saving for your child's college education is an investment in their future. The savings you make today will pay off in increased earnings(收入) in the future. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, college graduates earn an average of $1 million more than high school graduates during their careers. The value of your investment in a college education will continue to grow for a lifetime.
Set your college saving goals realistically(现实地). You may not be able to save enough for all four years' fees, but you could save enough to give your child the right start.
More and more families depend on student loans(贷款) to pay for college. By saving for college, families will have less burden of paying off loans and help their children leave school without worrying about paying off loans.
【1】From the second paragraph we can learn that .
A．the College Board increased public college costs
B．public college costs will increase by 51% in the next ten years
C．it's not too late to start saving when your child is ready for college
D．saving can help deal with the rising cost of college education
【2】Savings for college education .
A．will increase in the value in the future
B．make one earn a lot
C．help create good jobs
D．are wise for businessmen to invest
【3】Which of the following is TRUE about saving for college?
A．You should save to help children get scholarships more easily.
B．It's better to increase the savings as the child grows.
C．It's better to save early and regularly.
D．You should set a further and bigger saving goal.
【4】Who are the expected readers of the passage?
A．Parents.
B．High school students.

D．How Much Four-Year College Costs
28、Everybody is happy as his pay rises. Yet pleasure of your own can disappear if you learn that a fellow worker has been given a bigger one. Indeed, if he is known as being lazy, you might even be quite cross. Such behavior is regarded as “all too human”, with the underlying belief that other animals would not be able to have this finely developed sense of sadness. But a study by Sarah Brosnan of Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, which has just been published in Nature, suggests that it is all too monkey, as well.
The researchers studied the behaviors of some kind of female brown monkeys. They look smart. They are good-natured, co-operative creatures, and they share their food happily. Above all, like female human beings, they tend to pay much closer attention to the value of “goods and services” than males.
Such characteristics make them perfect subjects for Doctor Brosnan’s study. The researchers spent two years teaching their monkeys to exchange tokens (奖券) for food. Normally, the monkeys were happy enough to exchange pieces of rock for pieces of cucumber. However, when two monkeys were placed in separate and connected rooms so that each could observe what the other is getting in return for its rock, they became quite different.
In the world of monkeys, grapes are excellent goods (and much preferable to cucumbers). So when one monkey was handed a grape in exchange for her token, the second was not willing to hand hers over for a mere piece of cucumber. And if one received a grape without having to provide her token in exchange at all, the other either shook her own token at the researcher, or refused to accept the cucumber. Indeed, the mere presence of a grape in the other room (without an actual monkey to eat it) was enough to bring about dissatisfaction in a female monkey.
The researches suggest that these monkeys, like humans, are guided by social senses. In the wild, they are co-operative and group-living. Such co-operation is likely to be firm only when each animal feels it is not being cheated. Feelings of anger when unfairly treated, it seems, are not the nature of human beings alone. Refusing a smaller reward completely makes these feelings clear to other animals of the group. However, whether such a sense of fairness developed independently in monkeys and humans, or whether it comes from the common roots that they had 35 million years ago, is, as yet, an unanswered question.
【1】The underlined statement “it is all too monkey” means that ____________.
A. monkeys are also angry with lazy fellows
B. feeling bitter at unfairness is also monkey’s nature
C. monkeys, like humans, tend to be envious of each other
D. no animals other than monkeys can develop such feelings
【2】It can be learned from the passage that ____________.
A. only monkeys and humans can have the sense of fairness in the world
B. women will show more dissatisfaction than men when unfairly treated
C. in the wild, monkeys are unhappy to share their food with each other
D. monkeys can exchange cucumbers for grapes, for grapes are more attractive
【3】Which of the following conclusions is true according to the passage?
A. Human beings’ feelings of anger developed from the monkeys.
B. In the research, male monkeys are less likely to exchange food with others.
C. Co-operation between monkeys stays firm before the realization of being cheated.
D. The sense of fairness among monkeys probably dates back to 35 million years ago.
【4】What do we know about the monkeys in Sarah’s study?
A. The monkeys can be trained to develop social senses.
B. They usually show their feelings openly as humans do.
C. The monkeys may show their satisfaction with equal treatment.
D. Co-operation among the monkeys remains more effective in the wild.
29、In the fall of 1985, I was a bright-eyed girl heading off to Howard University to study law, aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere. Twenty-one years later I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell.
My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college at the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait.
Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopt and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantastic and very emotional. A year later came our second adopted boy. Then followed son No.3. In 2003, I gave birth to another boy.
You can imagine how busy I became, raising four boys under the age of 8. Our home was a complete zoo--a joyous zoo. Not surprisingly, I never did make it back to college full-time. But I never gave up on the dream either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant taking as few as one class each semester.
The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to quit, but I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.
In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree!
I am not special, just single-minded. It always struck me that when you're looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you're in the midst of it, it just seems normal. Everything you want won't arrive in your life on one day. It's a process. Remember: little steps add up to big dreams.

A. She was busy but happy with her family life.
B. She ignored her guilty feeling for her sons.
C. She wanted to remain a full-time housewife.
D. She was too confused to make a correct choice.
【4】Which of the following can best describe the author?
A. Caring and determined. B. Honest and responsible.

32、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。
"Our final exams are coming," Tom said to his mother.
His mum smiled and replied, "And I am sure, my dear, you will take the lead like you always do."
Tom smiled back. In fact Tom was a careless boy and never took his study seriously. Instead, he was always looking for different ways to cheat in tests and exams.
His mother didn't know that Tom got good grades because of his clever cheating methods. And he often got the first place. It was the time of the final exams and Tom was already busy planning how to cheat.
One day, Tom's father noticed him watching TV when he should have been studying.
"Son, one week is left before the final exams and I don't see you studying for it!" Tom's father looked at him curiously.
"I've already finished my revision and I am ready for the exams," he replied politely.
Actually, Tom had written "special notes" on tiny pieces of paper.
The day of the final exam arrived, Tom dressed up and went to school with his father. He hid the pieces of paper in a special pocket in his pencil case. To his sadness, he did not realize that he had forgotten to zip（拉上…的拉链）up the pocket and just went to school that day.
At the time of the exam, a piece of paper fell from the pocket of his pencil case and the teacher saw it.
"What is this?" asked the teacher as he picked it up.
"I never expected you to be a cheat," the teacher said. You are such a clever boy and look at how stupidly you have been using your skills!" he added disappointedly.
Tom felt ashamed in front of the whole class because he had not studied for the exams and he had been caught in his attempt to cheat.
