Have you ever wondered how a popular food or dessert was first created？ Read on and find out about several of them.
Chewing gum—Although ancient Greeks，Mayans，and early American settlers chewed sap〔树液〕from trees, the first commercial chewing gum was made and sold by John B. Curtis in 1848. In 1850, Curtis began selling flavored gums.
Pizza—In Italy in the early 1700s, flat breads, called pizzas, were made without toppings.These tasty，filling breads were sold to the poor in Naples.When Maria Carolina, the queen of Naples, tasted one, she persuaded her husband, King Ferdinand IV, to allow this peasant dish to be made in the royal kitchen.Almost 200 years later，during her travels around the country, Italy’s queen Margherita saw Italian peasants eating pizza breads.She had a taste and fell in love with pizza. She ordered the most famous pizza cook of the day, Raffaele Esposito, to create for her a pizza made of tomato, basil, and cheese to look like the colors of the Italian flag. This remains the basis of the American version of the pizza.
The ice-cream-cone—In 1904, Italo Marchiony got a patent(专利) to produce ice-cream cones. The same year at the ST. Louis World’s Fair, a Syrian waffle(华夫饼) seller Ernest Hamwi heard that a nearby ice-cream seller had run out of dishes to serve his cream. Hamwi rolled some of his waffles into a cone(圆锥) shape and
offered them to his neighbor, who put ice-cream in the cones and sold them. This first fully eatable, portable(便捷的) treat was a hit with customers immediately.
M&Ms—During the Spanish Civil War of the 1930s, Forrest Mars, Sr., saw soldiers eating pieces of chocolate covered with a hard sugary coating, which kept the chocolate from melting in the sun. Using this idea, Mars developed M＆Ms in 1941. In 1954, Mars ntroduced M&Ms Peanut Chocolate Candies, along with the now famous slogan, “The milk chocolate melts in your mouth, not in your hand.〞

Most of us remember our teachers well. Three successful Americans talk about the teachers who encouraged them.
Kevin Henkes is an excellent author and illustrator whose books include Lilly’s Purple Plastic Purse, The Year of Billy Miller, and Kitten’s First Full Moon, which won the Caldecott medal. “I grew up in the school days of silent hallways and desks in neat，evenrows. One day, our forth-grade teacher allowed the class to move the desks out of rows intogroups of four. It might seem like a small thing now, but it taught me that you could do things differently; you could think outside the box. That teacher helped me view my world differently. Good teachers can change lives.〞
Katherine Applegate has won many awards for her books, including the Newbery Medal for The One and Only Ivan. She also created the Animorphs series with her husband, Michael Grant.“My sixth-grade teacher in Michigan sensed that 1 wanted to write，so one day she sent me home to write about the word‘blue’in as many ways as possible. Because of that，for the first time in my life, I thought of myself as someone with special skills as a writer, someone who was unique. My teacher’s actions said‘I see something special in you.’〞
In his role as U.S.Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan is in charge of the department that collects data and directs research on America’s schools.“My high school English teacher was amazing. She challenged us to express our ideas clearly in class and in our writing. There was no such thing as a bad question. She wanted to hear from us and encouraged us to speak up and express ourselves. She pulled things out of me that I didn’t know I had inside. I think that is the genius of good teachers.〞

Chinese officials are taking high-tech action against high-tech cheaters on the national college entrance test. In recent years, some students have used hidden electronic devices to communicate during the test. In an effort to stop them, administrators in one city took an unusual step. They used a drone, or a small aircraft without a pilot. The drone flew over two testing centers in Luoyang City in central China’s Henan province. The drone was looking for unusual signals being sent to wireless devices.
Mr Lan, who only gave his last name, is an official from Louyang’s Radio
Supervision and Regulation Bureau〔无线电监管局〕. He said the drone cost hundreds of thousands of yuan. He said the drone was as big as a pump at a gasoline station. Officials said that a large number of electronic signals over a testing center could mean that students were cheating by sending electronic messages during the exam.
Nine million students took the college entrance exam this year. The test is known in China as the gaokao. This important test can greatly affect a young person’s future. The test results are used to decide which kind of university a student can attend. Those with the highest scores have the best chance for getting into a better university. Students spend months cramming, or studying intensely〔集中地〕, in order to get the highest possible scores. Many parents travel to the cities where the tests are given. They stay with their children during the exam, which can last two or three days. Students who do not pass the exam usually have two choices. They can repeat a year of school and retake the test, or try to find a factory job.
Local media have reported on the problem of“surrogate〞test—taking. A surrogate is someone who does another person’s work. Talented students from poor families can earn large amounts of money taking the college entrance exam for students who can pay. The Education Ministry〔教育部〕said that they had put 23 people in prison for trying to cheat since last May. Students who are caught cheating can be blocked from taking the test for three years.
28．What is the main problem during the exam in China according to the passage？A．Students do not want to take the exam.
B．Parents bring students too much stress.
C．Students cheat to get higher scores.
D．Our government take loose action.
29．Which one is true about the drone？
A．It has been widely used in China.
B．A pilot operates the small aircraft.
C．A drone is twice as big as a pump.
D．It looks for unusual signals during the exam.
30．Students can NOT make preparations for the gaokao by________.
A．studying intensely
B．taking the place of others
C．spending months cramming
D．communicating more with teachers and parents
31．What can students choose to do if not passing the college entrance exam？A．They have a chance for getting into a better university.
B．They can repeat a year of school and retake the test.
C．They can try to find a satisfactory job.
D．They can take a rest for three years.

Kids are cool to wear blue jeans and T-shirts today. It is fashionable like that. Fashion refers to the styles of dress that are currently popular. Fashion goes beyond just clothes, though. It’s important for some people to wear only the latest fashions and styles. For others, though, keeping up with trends isn’t that important. The one thing that stays the same with fashion is this: it always changes!
During the 1960s and 1970s, hippies made bell—bottomed blue jeans〔喇叭裤〕popular. Also, in the 1980s, Michael Jackson made parachute pants〔降落伞裤〕all the fashion. Now try to find these items in today’s clothing stores!
Do you know why fashions change？The answer is probably as simple as the fact that people change. Over time, the new replaces the old. People are influenced greatly by popular culture, including athletes, musicians, movies stars, as well as popular films, television shows, books and music. We are also influenced by the
fashion industry’s advertising.
The stars of popular culture are always searching for a new angle to maintain 〔保持〕their popularity. Often these new angles come in the form of new clothing or hairstyles. When people see these new styles, they often want to imitate their favorite stars. To do so, they seek out the latest fashions to make themselves look like the people they want to imitate. In this way, fashions evolve and change over time.
Clothes have been used to separate people into groups for many years. Even today, brand-name, clothing that is more expensive than other types of clothing can be used by some people to distinguish themselves from others.
Unfortunately, this can often have the effect of distancing certain groups from others. Don’t forget that it’s always OK to develop your own sense of style that is unique and separate from what the fashion world determines! Stay true to yourself and let your personality—not your clothes—speak for who you are！
32．What does the example of bell—bottomed blue jeans and parachute pants in Paragraph 2 suggest？
A．Fashion always changes.
B．Stars are always influential.
C．People have different dressing styles.
D．Michael Jackson are good designers.
33．What causes the changes of fashions？
A．Advertisements change rapidly.
B．Popular culture influences people.
C．Movie stars are changing over time.
D．New films and shows replace the old.
34．What does the author mainly want to stress in the last paragraph？
A．The advantages of staying unique.
B．The bad effects of following fashion.
C．The good influences of popular styles.
D．The importance of having one’s own personality.
35．We can learn from the text that_____________ .
A．fashion is all about clothes
B．the author has gone out of fashion
C．clothes may separate and distance people
D．people like imitate others’ dressing style
答案与解析：
答案： 32—35 A B D C
第二节〔共5小题；每一小题2分，总分为10分〕
We all know that exercise is good for your health. But some kinds of exercise may be better than others. Running, for example, may help to protect against heart disease and other health problems. 36 Running may be good exercise, but it can be difficult on the body. Here are five commonly shared ideas among fitness experts to reduce the risk of injury for people new to running or jogging.
1．Take it easy
37 Most people get running injuries when they push themselves too hard. The body needs time to get used to increases in distance or speed. Muscles and joints need time to recover.
2．Listen to your body
Most running injuries do not come out of the blue. 38 They may include body aches，sore muscles and pain that does not go away.
3．39
There is no single best shoe for every runner. You should find the shoe that offers the best fit and support for your feet. More importantly，you should replace your shoes every 500 to 800 kilometers.
4．Take good notes
Take some time after each run to write down notes about what you did and how you felt. Look for patterns，things that happen over and over again. For example，you may find that your knees ache when you run on consecutive or back-to-back days. But perhaps you feel great when you rest in between running days. 40 5．Cross train
As we said earlier，running is hard on your body. So physical fitness experts suggest some form of cross training to improve muscle balance and to help you stay injury free. They say swimming, cycling, and yoga are good exercises to combine with running. These exercises are easier on the body.
A．Get good running shoes.
B．Have a good rest after running.
C．Usually，there are warning signs.
D．Running is better than swimming.
E．Running also may help you 1ive longer.
F．Do not run too much，too soon or too fast.
G．These notes will help you identify the best workout for you.

I actually began drawing in the summer of 1995 when my father died，so perhaps I was trying to recover 62 the loss of my father, or maybe it was just paintings that brought back memories of him.

For some strange reason，1 had been waiting until my retirement to start doing watercolors〔水彩画〕again，but as soon as 1 walked out of the school door for the last time，I picked up my brushes and rediscovered Andrew Wyeth，64 quickly became my favorite artist. I had looked through all the art books I had on my shelves
and 65 〔find〕his watercolors to be closest to how I thought good watercolors should look. So I painted landscapes around Minnesota for three years and tried out many other 66 〔type〕of painting.

It happened in a morning when I was walking in the street. I ate up an banana and threw its peel on the corner of the road. Short after that I heard a scream behind.
I looked back to see what happens. A little girl about 8 years old fell down and the banana peel was exactly under her left shoes. She stood up without cry. Then she picked it up the banana peel and ran toward the dustbin. At that moment, I realized my fault, and wanted to apologize her for that, but my vanity〔虚荣心〕prevented me.

Good evening, everyone,
I’m glad to stand here and give a short speech on protecting wild animals.
答案与解析：
Possible Version:
Good evening, everyone,
I’m glad to stand here and give a short speech on protecting wild animals.
According to many statistics, we have realized that a large number of wild animals have been killed for their meat, skins and fur. As a result, so many kinds of animals have either died out or become endangered.
As a matter of fact, protecting wild animals benefits not only those animals but humans ourselves. For example, if too many frogs are killed, our corn and grain will be destroyed by harmful insects and rats. It is those frogs that prevent the number of harmful insects from increasing.
As for me, I have volunteered to call on more people to protect them and at the same time we should ask our students to take part in the activities of protecting wild animals. Meanwhile, our government should also take active measures.
Let’s take action to protect wild animals from now on! Thank you!。
