A
Many of us love July because it's the month when nature's berries and stone fruits are in abundance.These colourful and sweet jewels from British Columbia's fields are little powerhouses of nutritional protection.
Of the common berries,strawberries are highest in vitamin C,although,because of their seeds,raspberries contain a little more protein,iron and zinc(not that fruits have much protein). Blueberries are particularly high in antioxidants(抗氧化物质）。

The yellow and orange stone fruits such as peaches are high in the
carotenoids(类胡萝卜素）we turn into vitamin A and which are antioxidants.As for cherries,they are so delicious.Who cares?However,they are rich in vitamin C.
When combined with berries or slices of other fruits,frozen bananas make an excellent base for thick,cooling fruit shakes and low fat"ice cream".For this purpose,select ripe bananas for freezing as they are much sweeter.Remove the skin and place them in plastic bags or containers and freeze.If you like,a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on the bananas will prevent them turning brown.Frozen bananas will last several weeks,depending on their ripeness and the temperature of the freezer.
If you have a juicer,you can simply feed in frozen bananas and some berries or sliced fruit. Out comes a"soft-serve"creamy dessert,to be eaten right away.This makes a fun activity for a children's party;they love feeding the fruit and frozen bananas into the top of the machine and watching the ice cream come out below.
21.What does the author seem to like about cherries?
A.They contain protein.
B.They are high in vitamin A.
C.They have a pleasant taste.
D.They are rich in antioxidants.
22.Why is fresh lemon juice used in freezing bananas?
A.To make them smell better.
B.To keep their colour.
C.To speed up their ripening
D.To improve their nutrition.
23.What is"a juicer"in the last paragraph?
A.A dessert.
B.A drink.
C.A container.
D.A machine.
24.From which is the text probably taken?
A.A biology textbook.
B.A health magazine.
C.A research paper.
D.A travel brochure.
B
To tell the truth,I don't remember seeing Mom actually read her old Bible.As far as I could tell,it just sat on the nightstand(床头泉）next to her bed.And that was the best place for it,since it probably wouldn't have survived any meaningful use anywhere else.The black cloth cover was ragged and time-worn,and its dog-eared pages yellowed.Once I accidentally knocked it off the nightstand,launching loose pages all over Mom's and Dad's bedroom.I expected a tongue-lashing for my carelessness,but Mom was so busy gathering the pages,gently smoothing them and returning them to their place in the book that she paid no attention to me.
Soon after I moved away from home,my sister Kathy and I bought a new Bible for Mom for her birthday.It was a black leather volume,twice as big as her old
Bible.The pages were decorated in gold,and there were maps,references and a complete Bible dictionary included within its pages.We even had her name carved on the front with gold-leaf lettering.It was a beautiful book and Mom was touched and pleased.I remember watching her thumb carefully through the pages,admiring the quality of the paper and the clarity of the printing.From that day on,that Bible was the one she took with her to church and the one from which she read during the family Nativity Pageant(圣诞庆典）。

But for some reason,it never replaced the old Bible from its place for honor on her nightstand.And that bothered me a little.
“I don't know why you keep that old thing,"I told her as we prepared to pack it among her most precious belongings for what would turn out to be the last of many movements in her life-this time to warm Southern California."That new Bible we got for you is the best that money can buy.You can't even use this old one anymore.”
Mom smiled at me weakly and sat on the edge of her bed,carefully rapping the old Bible in an equally old,equally shabby white cloth.
＂Just because a thing isn't useful anymore,that doesn't mean it isn't valuable,"she said softly and deliberately."You look at this and see an old,worn-out book.However,I see the gift your father gave me on our wedding day.I see the friend that was always there to provide me with strength and comfort when your father served at the front.I see the storybook from which I read stories to all of my children,and the book from which you all read your first Bible poems."
＂This Bible has been in the family as long as we've been a family."She continued, caressing(爱抚）it through the shabby white cloth."Even though it isn't especially useful anymore,there is still value in what it represents.At least,there is to me."
Suddenly it occurred to me that she wasn't just talking about the old Bible.We live in an age of fanatically obsessive utilitarianism(功利主义）.Everything is disposable(一次性的）.If it's old or odd-looking or not particularly useful,we toss it out.We forget that there is value beyond use,and worth beyond"what's in it for me right now.”
When Mom passed away,Dad gave me her"new"Bible.It's among my most cherished possessions.It's the Bible I read and take to church.It means a lot to me,and it's really beautiful and incredibly useful.But I would trade it in a minute for Mom's old useless Bible.I even have the perfect place for it:on the nightstand next to my bed.
25.What does the underlined word"tongue-lashing"in Paragraph 1 mean?
A.Defense.
B.Challenge.
C.Criticism.
D.Recognition.
26.According to the passage,what bothered the author a little?
A.Her mom didn't take the new Bible to church.
B.Her mom was unwilling to move to Southern California.
C.Her mom couldn't find an appropriate place for the new Bible.
D.Her mom had a strong love for the old Bible after owning the new one.
27.What does paragraph 6 mainly tell us?
A.The Bible is too old to use.
B.The Bible has been part of their family.
C.The author should have read all the stories in the Bible.
D.The author should have shown respect for the Bible.
28.According to the author,what is"utilitarianism”？
A.Too much spoils,while too little is nothing.
B.The most valuable things are the most useful.
C.People nowadays are materially better off than ever before.
D.The importance of the necessities of life has been overstated.
29.What's the best title for the passage?
A.Mom's Old Useless Bible.
B.The Power of Utilitarianism.
C.The Making of a Holy Man.
D.Mom's Perfect Nightstand.
C
One of the greatest contributions to the first Oxford English Dictionary was also one of its most unusual.In 1879,Oxford University in England asked Prof.James Murray to serve as editor for what was to be the most ambitious dictionary in the history of the English language.It would include every English word possible and would give not only the definition but also the history of the word and quotations(引文）showing how it was used.
This was a huge task,so Murray had to find volunteers from Britain,the United States,and the British colonies to search every newspaper,magazine,and book ever written in English. Hundreds of volunteers responded,including William Chester Minor.Dr.Minor was an American surgeon who had served in the Civil War and was now living in England.He gave his address as"Broadmoor,Crowthorne,Berkshire,"50 miles from Oxford.
Minor joined the army of volunteers sending words and quotations to Murray.Over the next 17 years,he became one of the staff's most valued contributors.
But he was also a mystery.In spite of many invitations,he would always decline to visit Oxford.So in 1897,Murray finally decided to travel to Crowthorne himself.When he arrived, he found Minor locked in a book-lined cell at the Broadmoor Asylum(精神病院）for the Criminally insane.
Murray and Minor became friends,sharing their love of words.Mino continued contributing to the dictionary,sending in more than 10,000 submissions in 20 years.Murray continued to visit Minor regularly,sometimes taking walks with him around the asylum grounds.
In 1910,Minor left Broadmoor for an asylum in his native America.Murray was at the port to wave goodbye to his remarkable friend.
Minor died in 1920,seven years before the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary was completed.The 12 volumes defined 414,825 words,and thousands of them were contributions from a very scholarly and devoted asylum patient.
30.According to the text,the first Oxford English Dictionary
A.came out before Minor died
B.was edited by an American volunteer
C.included the English words invented by Murray
D.was intended to be the most ambitious English dictionary
31.How did Dr.Minor contribute to the dictionary?
A.He went to England to work with Murray.
B.He helped Murray to find hundreds of volunteers.
C.He sent newspapers,magazines and books to Murray.
D.He provided a great number of words and quotations.
32.Why did Dr.Minor refuse to visit Oxford?
A.He disliked traveling.
B.He lived far from Oxford.
C.He was shut in an asylum.
D.He was busy writing a book.
33.Prof.Murray and Dr.Minor became friends mainly because
A.They both served in the Civil War
B.They had a common interest in words
C.Minor recovered with the help of Murray
D.Murray went to America regularly to visit Minor
34.Which of the following best describe Dr.Minor?
A.Cautious and friendly.
B.Unusual and scholarly.
C.Brave and determined.
D.Considerate and optimistic.
35.What does the text mainly talk about?
A.The history of the English language.
B.Broadmoor Asylum and its patients.
C.The friendship between Murray and Minor.
D:Minor and the first Oxford English Dictionary.

How to Do Man-on-the-Street Interviews
The man-on-the-street interview is an interview in which a reporter hits the streets with a cameraman to interview people on the spot.36 But with these tips,your first man-on-the-street interview experience can be easy.
When your boss or professor sends you out to do man-on-the-street interviews for a story, think about the topic and develop a list of about ten general questions relating to it.For example, if your topic is about environmental problems in America,you might ask,"Why do you think environmental protection is important in America?"37
Hit the streets with confidence.38Say,"Excuse me,I work for XYZ News,and I was wondering if you could share your opinion about this topic."This is a quick way to get people to warm up to you.
Move on to the next person if someone tells you she is not interested in talking on camera. Don't get discouraged.
39 Each interview that you get on the street shouldn't be longer than ten minutes.As
soon as you get the answer you need,move on to the next person.Make sure that as you go from interview to interview,you are getting a variety of answers.If everyone is giving you the same answer,you won't be able to use it.A safe number of interviews to conduct is about six to ten.40
If your news station or school requires interviewees to sign release forms to appear on the air,don't leave work without them.
A.Limit your time.
B.As you approach people,be polite.
C.If you don't own a camera,you can buy one.
D.For new reporters,this can seem like a challenging task.
E.To get good and useful results,ask them the same question.
F.That number of interviews should give you all the answers you need.
G.With a question like this,you will get more than a"Yes"or"No"reply.

He continued,"I hope we didn't spoil your day too 52."As the salesman started to walk away,the girl who couldn't see anything called out to him,"Mister..."He turned to look.

It was summer,and my dad wanted to treat me to a vacation like never before.He decided to take me on a trip to the Wild West.
We took a plane to Albuquerque,a big city in the state of New Mexico.We reached
Albuquerque in the late afternoon.Uncle Paul,my dad's friend,picked us up from the airport and drove us up to his farm in Pecos.
His wife Tina cooked us a delicious dinner and we got to know his sons Ryan and Kyle.My dad and I spent the night in the guestroom of the farm house listening to the frogs and water rolling down the river nearby.Very early in the morning,Uncle Paul woke us up to have breakfast."The day starts at dawn on my farm,"he said.After breakfast,I went to help Aunt Tina feed the chickens,while my dad went with Uncle Paul to take the sheep out to graze(吃草）. I was impressed to see my dad and Uncle Paul riding horses.They looked really cool.
In the afternoon,I asked Uncle Paul if I could take a horse ride,and he said yes,as long as my dad went with me.I wasn't going to take a horse ride by myself anyway.So,my dad and I put on our new cowboy hats,got on our horses,and headed slowly towards the mountains. “Don't be late for supper,"Uncle Paul cried,"and keep to the track so that you don't get lost!" “OK!"my dad cried back.After a while Uncle Paul and his farm house were out of sight.It was so peaceful and quiet and the colors of the brown rocks,the deep green pine trees,and the late afternoon sun mixed to create a magic scene.It looked like beautiful woven(编织的）blanket spread out upon the ground just for us.

Possible version:
Suddenly a little rabbit jumped out in front of my horse.This unexpected appearance frightened my horse,which made it run wildly."Don't let go the rope!"yelled dad.Frightened as I was,I tried to keep my balance to prevent me from falling off.My dad was chasing after me. Fortunately,minutes later,the horse stopped,out of breath,and so did I.Seeing I was OK,dad was quite relieved.However,we were off the track and we knew that we may get lost.
We had no idea where we were and it got dark.Exhausted and hungry,I wonder if we could find our way back to Uncle Paul's.I kept shouting for help,hoping my shouts could be heard by someone,but there was no reply.Dad sounded a little worried but he reminded me to calm down.It was then that my mind raced,"Dad,listen,the rushing river water!"I shouted excitedly."We can return to the farm house down the river."We made our way and before long we caught sight of the lights in the distance.We delightedly knew we were safe.What a thrilling vacation like never before we had!。
