21、Over the years, Brian Wansink, director of the Food and Brand Lab at Cornell University, has studied such things as how many times we refill our plates at all-you-can-eat buffets and how we organize our kitchens.
His new book, Slim by Design: Mindless Eating Solutions for Everyday Life, aims to change the design of restaurants, school lunchrooms, office cafeterias and homes so that the mindless choices we make will be more healthful ones. Some examples:
Keep kitchen counters clear. No visible snacks, no bread, no nuts — not even breakfast cereal. In Wansink’s research, “women who had even one box of breakfast cereal that could be seen anywhere in their kitchen weighed 21 pounds more than their neighbor who didn’t.”
Trick yourself into drinking less wine. “We pay more attention to the height of what we pour than the width, so we pour 12 percent less wine into taller wineglasses than wider wineglasses.” And the shape of the glass is not the only factor that affects how much we drink. Wansink writes: “Because red wine is easier to see than white wine, we pour 9 percent less red wine whenever we pour a glass.”
Wansink said his researchers also found that people ate less at restaurants when sitting in well-lighted areas near windows and doors, than in darker areas or in the back. They ate less if they were offered a doggie bag, or to-go box, before they got their meals: the idea of getting a “free” second meal outweighed the impulse (冲动) to clean their plates. Workers who frequently ate at their desks weighed 15.4 pounds less, on average, than those who didn’t. Fruits and vegetables kept on the top shelf of the refrigerator were eaten at higher rates than those on lower shelves.
The point, Wansink says, is to consider findings like those and change your environment or habits. Then you won’t have to think about it: You’ll just eat less.
【1】Why did Brian Wansink write Slim by Design: Mindless Eating Solutions for Everyday Life?
A．Because he wanted people to become thin.
B．Because he intended to help people eat more healthily.
C．Because he hoped to introduce a new phrase “mindless eating”.
D．Because he wished to change the design of dining places.
【2】According to Wansink, which of the following affects the amount of wine we drink?
A．The shape of wineglasses.
B．The color of wineglasses.
C．The taste of wine.
D．The quality of wine.
【3】The underlined phrase “a doggie bag” in Paragraph 5 probably means ________.
A．a bag for carrying a dog
B．a bag for carrying takeaway food
C．a bag for carrying dog food
D．a bag for carrying leftover food
【4】What’s the main idea of the passage?
A．Changing environment or eating habits will help you eat less.
B．Eating fruits and vegetables is better for your health.
C．Keeping your kitchen counter clear of any food will help make you thin.
D．Many people eat or drink too much without paying attention to it.
22、Most Chinese people expect to relax and enjoy themselves during the Golden Week. But for those trying to go someplace, it may seem more disappointment than pleasure. This year, the traffic jam resulted in a roadside wedding(婚礼).
The suffering of being stuck in traffic was probably most strongly felt by Lv Kangzhou and his bride(新娘) Yan Mengxia. By tradition, the groom（新郎） drove early in the morning to the bride's home in Zhejiang Province in East China to pick her up along with her family and take them to his family's hometown for the wedding. By 4 pm, Lv's wedding was 90 minutes away, but his car had not moved an inch for a long time. Lv got in touch with the local radio to explain his difficult situation and ask for a traffic forecast. The radio host told Lv there was no way to hold his wedding on time and offered to hold their wedding on the air. At 5：30 pm, Lv and his bride said their vows(发誓) on the side of the road, and Lv's family and friends witnessed the ceremony by listening to the radio.
Lv wasn't the only person stuck in the Golden Week crowds. According to the state news agency Xinhua, 11.7 million people traveled by train on Wednesday. About 120，000 people gathered at Tian'anmen Square in Beijing to watch the flagraising ceremony. Last year, the Forbidden City in Beijing hosted 175，000 tourists on one day during the Golden Week, and the number is expecting to be even bigger this year.
Chinese Internet users complain about the Golden Week holiday every year. An Internet user Tuzhi said on Sina Weibo: “On the Great Wall, I'm holding your hand, but I cannot see your face.”
【1】By tradition, the wedding should take place in ________．
A．Zhejiang Province
B．a hotel
C．the bride's hometown
D．the groom's hometown
【2】Lv, the groom, called the local radio because he wanted to ________．
A．ask for help
B．hold their wedding on the air

23、Before the break of dawn, Simon was already standing on the shore watching the sea intensely for any signs of a coming storm. Despite learning from the weather forecast the likelihood of a violent storm, he didn’t change his mind about starting his weekly fishing trip. After checking for the third time that he had brought with him what he needed, Simon got onto his boat and sailed into the vast blue sea. Before long, he was anchoring(固定)his boat in the middle of the sea. Satisfied with the spot, he cast his net, hoping for a good catch.
Simon then relaxed on the deck and watched the sun rising slowly above the horizon. “One can never trust the weather station,” he said, but he had said it too soon. At that moment, there was a sudden strike of lightning, followed by a shout of thunder. The entire sky was suddenly filled with dark clouds. Wave after wave rolled up, hitting his boat and sending it rocking violently sideways. A sense of hopelessness drowned him but when images of his family flashed across his mind, he knew what he had to do. In double-quick time, he cut off the fishing lines and dumped his fishing equipment into the sea. Eventually, the storm eased and the waves died down.
To make matters worse, the boat engine died. As he was many kilometres offshore, the only likely rescue was to be spotted by a boat. But who would be out at sea in such horrible weather except him? That made Simon regret his earlier decision again.
Exhausted, Simon soon drifted off to sleep. When he awoke, the sun had already risen. Simon had lost track of time and location. Sighing, he stood on the deck, staring out hopefully. Then he spotted it. He dived into the water and swam towards the island a few metres ahead of him. When Simon reached land, he was too weak to stand on his legs. Fortunately, a kind-hearted man helped him up and contacted his family. Though Simon emerged from the nightmare unhurt, the fateful day remained forever in his mind. Neglecting the weather forecast, he paid a heavy price. He then learnt that everyone should respect science and be more mindful of his decision.
【1】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Not informed of the weather forecast, Simon went fishing as planned.
B．Simon lost his fishing equipment because it was blown off by the wind.
C．Love for his family made him take action trying to save himself.
D．Though he was finally saved, he was hurt badly.
【2】What did he see after he woke up?
A．Another boat ready to drag his boat.
B．A rescue team sent by his family.
C．A new boat engine to be equipped on his boat.
D．An island not far from his boat.
【3】What mainly caused him to meet with such a horrible event?
A．He was too confident of his ability to deal with the rescue team.
B．He ignored storm forecast and went fishing anyway.
C．His fishing equipment was too heavy for his boat.
D．He positioned his boat in a wrong location in the sea.
【4】What is the passage mainly about?
A．A smooth fishing trip a fisherman used to have.
B．A terrible accident a fisherman experienced and how he survived.
C．The hardships a man has to handle when going fishing.
D．Ways to seek help in dangerous situations in life.
24、 Chinese scientists recently have produced two monkeys with the same gene, Zhong Zhong and Hua Hua, using the same technique that gave us Dolly the sheep. These monkeys are not actually the first primates（灵长类）to be cloned. Another one named Tetra was produced in the late 1990s by embryo（胚胎）splitting, the division of an early-stage embryo into two or four separate cells to make clones. By contrast, they were each made by replacing an egg cell nucleus（原子核）with DNA from a differentiated body cell. This Dolly method, known as somatic cell nuclear transfer（SCNT）, can create more clones and allows researchers greater control over the edits they make to the DNA.
Success came from adopting several new techniques. These included a new type of microscopy to better view the cells during handling or using several materials that encourage cell reprogramming, which hadn’t been tried before on primates. Still, the research process proved difficult, and many attempts by the team failed. Just two healthy baby monkeys born from more than 60 tested mothers. This leads to many researchers’ pouring water on the idea that the team’s results bring scientists closer to cloning humans. They thought this work is not a stepping stone to establishing methods for obtaining live born human clones. Instead, this clearly remains a very foolish thing to attempt, it would be far too inefficient, far too unsafe, and it is also pointless.
But the scientists involved emphasize that this is not their goal. There is now no barrier for cloning primate species, thus cloning humans is closer to reality. However, their research purpose is entirely for producing non-human primate models for human diseases; they absolutely have no intention, and society will not permit this work to be extended to humans. Despite limitations, they treat this breakthrough a novel model system for scientists studying human biology and disease.
【1】What do we know about the technology called SCNT?
A. It created the first two primates.
B. It may contribute to editing the DNA.
C. It can divide an early-stage embryo into several cells.
D. It produced two cloned monkeys with different genes.
【2】What does the author mean by “pouring water on the idea” in paragraph 2?
A. Keeping a hot topic of it.
B. Attaching no importance to it.
C. Having a low opinion of it.
D. Adding supportive evidence to it.
【3】What is the scientists’ purpose to clone these monkeys?
A. To prepare for their research on human cloning.
B. To serve as a stepping stone to their reputation.
C. To help with the study of human diseases.
D. To raise money for holding an exhibition of novels.
【4】What can we infer from the passage?
A. Cloning humans is already on its way.
B. New techniques seem to be pointless.
C. Society won’t agree to clone another monkey.
D. The success rate of cloning a monkey was not high.
