Chinese food in Britain has over 100 years of history. Since then, they’ve been springing up around the country. Today, Chinese food is one of the top choices for hungry Englishmen.
But since coming to China, I’ve found some differences. Much of
the Chinese food in Britain is influenced by western tastes. For example, dishes are not hot and had fewer kinds. It’s difficult to find the hot food of Yunnan food in Britain. The most popular Chinese dishes in Britain are chou mein, egg-fried rice and spring rolls. Also, meat dishes are always sweet and sour.
The Chinese food in Britain not only gives a different taste. In most Chinese restaurants, food is served as a buffet(自助的). And once you sit down in a Chinese restaurant, don’t hope to rotate(旋转) the dishes around a big round table to share. This kind of table in English is called a Lazy Susan because it’s convenient to move dishes around. But in Britain they are very uncommon.
At the end of the meal, don’t forget your lucky cookie! In most Chinese restaurants, you’ll be given a cake that you break a half. Inside is a small piece of paper with your lucky words written on it. Although you can hardly find lucky cakes in China, no Chinese meal in Britain is complete without reading these letters of good luck.
( )37. What does the underlined phrase “springing up”in paragraph
1 mean?
A. 出现
B.变化
C. 服务
D. 分享
( )38. According to the writer, Chinese dishes in Britain ___________.
A. are hotter
B. are the same as Western dishes
C. have fewer kinds
D. have the same taste as those in China
( )39.From the last paragraph, we can learn that _________________.
A. People will become lucky if they have lucky cakes.
B. lucky cakes are also very popular in China.
C. English people like reading lucky words in the cakes
D. Chinese meals are too much for an English person to finish ( )40. What’s the title of the passage?
A. Chinese Lucky Cakes
B. Chinese Food in Britain
C. English Food from China
D. a Lazy Susan
D
You’ve probably heard of working dogs that help police officers, or horses that help farmers. Did you know that carrier pigeons(信鸽)can be trained to help people too? Here are some examples.
Mailman
Carrier pigeons can be trained to carry messages to people. The note is placed into a small bottle. The bottle is tied to the pigeon’s leg. Then the pigeon flies off with the note.
Lifeguard
From high up in the sky, specially trained pigeons can find orange life jackets in the sea. Sometimes it is difficult for humans to find
people lost at sea, especially when the weather is bad. However, pigeons can fly quickly over a large area of water to look for people Spy
Many years ago, carrier pigeons were used to help our country during wars(战争). “Spy pigeons” had small cameras that were tied to their feet. As a pigeon flew over enemy(敌人)land, the camera took photos of the land below. This would allow our soldiers to see where the enemies were and what they were doing. So next time you see a pigeon, stop and watch it closely. What might look like an ordinary bird to most people, might actually be helpful.

第三节：听短文，回答问题。

Dear Mr. Mu,
I am already 14 years old, but I still don’t have a phone of my own! Everyone in my class has one. Most of them had the phone when they were twelve years old. My friend Lisa even got her phone when she was nine! Without a phone, I have to go back home to use the computer when I need to get some information. Every time I ask my mother for it, she would say, “You are not old enough. You’d better read more books. Don’t play with the phone.” My father is always busy with his work. So I never talk to him about it. What should I do?
Susan

One possible version:
Recently we had a discussion about whether we should do volunteer
work on weekends. Here are the results. Some students agree. They think
they can improve themselves and learn how to look after others. Also,
it’s a good way for them to do many things, such as giving away money, cheering up the lonely kids and so on, so it’s very meaningful.
However, others disagree. They think it’s a waste of time. There
is no need to do it now. They’ll have no time to do their homework.
As a result, their grades will drop.
As for me, I think it’s good for us to do volunteer work, because
in this way we can learn to be independent. Also, we’ll know helping people in need is very important.。
