(A)When my family moved to America in 2010 from a small village in Guangdong, China, we brought not only our luggage, but also our village rules, customs and culture. One of the rules is that young people should always respect elders. Unluckily, this rule led to my very first embarrassment in the United States.I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. One time, when I was serving food to a middle-aged couple, the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly. I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly. As soon as I said that, her face showed great displeasure. My manager, who happened to hear what I said, took me aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive(敏感) Americans are and how they dislike the description “old”. I then walked back to the table and apologized to the wife. After thecouple heard my reason, they understood that the problem was caused by cultural differences, so they laughed and were no longer angry.In my village in China, people are proud of being old. Not so many people live to be seventy or eighty, and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience. Young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience.However, in the United States, people think “growing old” is a problem since “old” shows that a person is going to retire or that the body is not working well. Here many people try to keep themselves away from growing old by doing exercises or jogging, and women put on makeup, hoping to look young. When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect the elderly, they got angry because this caused them to feel they had failed to stay young. I had told them something they didn’t want to hear.After that, I changed the way I had been with older people. It is not that I don’t respect them any more; I still respect them, but now I don’t show my feelings through words.( ) 26.

In Jack’s hometown, _______.A. people dislike being called “old”B. people are proud of being oldC. many people reach the age of seventy or eightyD. the elderly are the first to get food in restaurants( ) 29. After this experience, Jack _______.A. lost his job in the restaurantB. made friends with the coupleC. no longer respected the elderlyD. changed his way with older people( ) 30. Which of the following is TRUE?A. The more Jack explained, the angrier the couple got.B. Jack wanted to show his feelings through words after his experience.C. The manager went back to the table and apologized to the couple.D. From this experience, Jack learned more about American culture.（B）Most of us could probably live without vegetables, but a world without chocolate? Now that would be hard! According to chocolate makers it could happen if we don't act soon.There are two main causes of the chocolate shortage – chocolate’s growing popularity and less production of cocoa, the plant from which chocolate is made. With more and more people in India and China loving chocolate, not much can be done about the first cause.Therefore, the only thing we can do is to increase cocoa production. However, new plant diseases and little rain in Ivory Coast and Ghana, the worl d’s largest producers, have reduced cocoa production by 40 percent in the past 10 years. What’s worse, many cocoa farmers in Africa and other cocoa-producing countries like Indonesia and Venezuela are changing to easier-to-grow crops such as corn or rubber. This way, the farmers can make more money.To prevent more farmers from changing, researchers at the newly opened International Cocoa Control Centre, in the UK, are trying to create new cocoa plants that are stronger and faster growing. But first they must make sure the new plants are safe to grow. This takes a long time.First, each new plant is stored at the Control Centre for six months to make sure it is healthy. It is then planted in the Centre’s fields, studied and tested for another two years. Only after scientists are certain that they’re disease-free, will the plant be sent to farmers in West Africa or wherever else they are needed.To create new stronger types of cocoa, scientists at the Centre are combing the best parts from different cocoa plants. Though the world is facing a serious chocolate shortage, there is now hope!( ) 31. The first paragraph tells us that _____.A.c hocolate is healthier than vegetables.B.t he world could soon be without chocolate.C.people love vegetables more than chocolateD.it’s not necessary to eat so much chocolate( ) 32. In which countries has chocolate become more popular in recent year?A.Venezuela and IndonesiaB. Ivory Coast and Ghana.C. Indonesia and ChinaD. China and India( ) 33.

How long does it take scientists at the Centre to make sure a cocoa plant is safe to grow?A.6 monthsB. 12 monthsC. 24 monthsD. 30 months( ) 35. What is one of the purposes of the Cocoa Control Centre?A.To introduce cocoa production to more countriesB.T o provide more chocolate for British peopleC.T o produce stronger types of cocoa plantsD.T o make sure that cocoa is healthy to eat(C)Computers are getting really inexpensive these days. Computer prices go down with time. However, that doesn’t mean that you should wait forever to buy one at the lowest price. A computer can do many things such as playing games or helping with business. What a computer can help you is limitless. However, choosing a computer can be difficult. We hope the following suggestions will help you make a better choice.First, decide what you are going to use the computer for. If all you need to do is managing home finance, playing some basic windows games, sending e-mails, and browsing(浏览) the Internet, you are an average user. Nothing really “high end” (高端) is needed.Second, if you are choosing a computer for normal office work, only a middle-range computer processor is necessary. We actually recommend Intel Celeron. It is quite more inexpensive with less cache (快速缓冲贮存区) than their Pentium cousins but is almost equallypowerful.Third, when you have limited your choices to a few computers, look at the secondary uses and programs. For example, if your main reason for buying a home computer is to play games, you may take computer A instead of computer B because computer A also can be used as a word processor.Then, you need to consider your budget. The first price is the price you must pay to take the computer home. The second is the price of additional programs and possible additions that you might want to buy at a later date.Last but not least, be sure to try out the computer before you buy it. Sales people at computer shops are happy to help you choose the computer that will best suit your needs and cost you the least.( ）36. Which of the following is NOT true?puters are becoming cheaper and cheaper.puters can help us in different ways.C.High-end computers are best for average users.D.The mid-range computer is best for normal office worker.( ) 37. Why doesn’t the author recommend Pentium?A. It is less expensive.B. It has less cache.C. It is the cousin of CeleronD. Celeron is alomost as powerful as Pentium.( ) 38. You should take _____ steps before you buy a computer.A. threeB. fourC. fiveD. six( ) 39. The underlined word “budget” in paragraph5 means ______.A. 预算费用B.收入C.财政状况D.规划( ) 40.
