二、阅读理解
1、Everyone loves to eat! People in every country enjoy this activity. There are so many different kinds of food in the world—Chinese food, Italian food, South American food, Indian food, and many others. It’s fun to eat and compare different types of cuisine. Italian food is sometimes very spicy, but South American food is usually much spicier. Indian food can be the spiciest of all—sometimes it’s so hot that it can make your mouth burn! But that’s okay because then you can drink
some good Italian or French wine to reduce the burning. Some wonderful food comes from the Eastern countries. Chinese food is popular in many parts of the world. Lots of people love Chinese style vegetables because they are so crispy. Because Chinese style vegetables are usually cooked for a much shorter time, they are crispier than American style vegetables. In fact, they are probably the crispiest cooked vegetables you can find.
Some people don’t like American-style food. They think it is often less tasty and sometimes less nutritious than food in other countries. Americans spend nearly half their food dollars on meals away from home. They eat more fast food, such as hamburgers, hot dogs, pizzas, canned and frozen food, for fast food takes a short time to prepare. Often, Americans feel they are too busy to spend a lot of time cooking. It’s easier to pick up a pack of fried chicken on the way home from work or take the family out for pizzas or burgers than to start opening cans or heating up frozen dinners after a long, hard day. Of course, in some other countries, like France, cooking is still an art form; people believe that French cuisine is the best in the world. Certainly, each person has a different opinion about which country has the tastiest food. But people
in many places agree that French food is the most delicious and the best prepared

6、Newspapers, along with reporting the news, educate, entertain, and give opinions. An important way of reading a large, big city newspaper is knowing how to take it apart. Can you find these separate sections: world news, national and local news, sports, business, entertainment, opinions, classified advertisements? Does your paper have other sections? News stories give facts, not the author’s opinions. Editorials （社论） do the opposite; you can expect an editorial to take sides. Some newspaper editorials have a by-line with the author’s nam e, but many newspapers have unsigned（未署名的）editorials. These reflect the opinions of the publisher or editor.
You can be a better reader if you know what to expect in a
newspaper. For example, you can expect headlines to omit unnecessary words. You can expect to find the most important facts in the first paragraph of a news story. You can expect important news items to be on the front page. You can expect less important items to be on the inside pages.
Most of all, the more you know about the current news, the more you will understand what is the newspaper; important stories are generally presented one day and followed up on following days. So, an important way of reading newspapers is reading one frequently

11、Every country has secret services to help protect it against serious threats from terrorists, major criminals or even from other countries. People who threaten to harm a country always plot in secret, so the intelligence agencies have to work in secret to find out what is being planned before it happens,
so that it can be prevented. They do that in many different ways—by secretly listening to their targets talking on the phone, by planting microphones to overhear meetings, by watching the targets as they move from place to place and by recruiting some of the targets to act as double agents to report on what is going on.
For most of my career I worked in one of the UK’s three intelligence services, MIS, the domestic security service. I first joined in the 1970s, in the middle of the Cold War, when the war was divided into two armed camps, the Soviet Union and its allies on the one side and Western Europe, America and their allies on the other. The Cold War never became a fighting war. It was an intelligence war, with intelligence officers from both sides trying to find out what the other side was doing, what kind of weapons they had, when and if they might start a war and what their plans were. Both sides were secretly working in each other’s countri es.
Nowadays one of the biggest threats to the world, comes from terrorists. Intelligence officers from many different countries are working together to find out who they are, where they are and what they are planning. Today’s MIS officers get their intelligence in much the same way as we did during the
Cold War, but their task is even more difficult and urgent because most terrorists want to kill people. Many terrorist attacks that are planned and prepared never happen, and we never know anything about them because the intelligence services find them out and prevent them
What is the first paragraph mainly about（）
A．The tasks of intelligence agencies
B．The contributions of intelligence agencies
C．The equipment used by intelligence agents
D．The recruitment of intelligence agents
12、The biggest security threats for Britain in the 1970s were from __________（）
A．international terrorists
B．the Soviet Union and its allies
C．major criminals within the country
D．agents working for both camps
13、What is true about the Cold War（）
A．Both camps were planning to start a war
B．It was a war fought with advanced weapons
C．No fierce clash broke out during the period
D．It is not regarded as an intelligence war
14、MIS officers’ task is more urgent today in that
__________（）
A．terrorists are more difficult to find than spies
B．most terrorist attacks are aimed at killing people
C．terrorist attacks happen more frequently than before
D．it takes only a little time to prepare a terrorist attack 15、The best title for the passage might be __________（） A．Ways of Gathering Intelligence
B．National Defense Against All Threats
C．Which Is More Threatening: Terrorists or Spies
D．What We Do as Intelligence Officers
16、In your car you may have a cell phone, a telephone also known as a mobile phone that you can carry around and use anywhere. On your way, you may feel coordinated and enjoy your hands-free phone talking while driving. But recent studies suggest that it isn’t the dialing or the arm waving that makes driving while talking on a cell phone dangerous. It is the yakking itself—or more precisely, the continuous conversation with someone who isn’t present—that makes. David Strayer, a Utah psychologist, says your driving performance while talking on a cell phone is weakened at levels comparable to, or worse than, driving with a blood alcohol level of 0.08, which is the legal limit in most states of America.
Using a driving-training simulator, Strayer and his colleagues compared the attention levels and response time of 110 drivers in various situations. In dense traffic, cell phone users were about 20 percent slower to respond to sudden hazards than other drivers, and they were about twice as likely to drive into the back of a braking car in front of them. Cell phone drivers are obtaining less than 50 percent of the visual information that non-cell drivers are getting, says Strayer. Looking and seeing are not one and the same. By contrast, the researchers found that listening to the radio or conversing with passengers is not as hazardous. When a dangerous situation arises, the driver and passengers put their conversation on pause, Strayer says. Whether talking with a passenger or someone on a cell phone, however, people are less able to recall the details of a conversation carried on while driving. So it might not be good for your economic health to discuss investment strategies with your agent while either of you is driving, Strayer adds lastly According to the recent studies, which of the following makes driving dangerous（）
A．A cell phone dialing by the driver
B．The driver’s endless arm waving
C．The driver’s continuous cell phone talking
D．The absence of another phone speaker
17、Which of the following does Strayer want to stress most in Paragraph 1（）
A．The driving performance may be weakened by a cell phone talking
B．The driving performance may be affected by a high blood alcohol level
C．Drivers should not be allowed to drive after drinking D．A cell phone talking is no less hazardous than alcohol in driving
18、The experiment shows all the following EXCEPT that __________（）
A．the cell phone drivers get less than half of the visual information
B．the cell phone drivers are twice as likely to hit the front cars
C．the cell phone drivers’ response to sudden dangers is slower
D．the 110 drivers were reluctant to take part in the experiment
19、Strayer discourages drivers from talking about business on cell phones while driving because __________（）
A．they tend to forget the details of a conversation
B．both the driver and his agent happen to be driving
C．it might not be good for the driver’s memory
D．the other passengers would overhear the conversation 20、It can be inferred that th e author’s attitude toward cell phone yakking is __________（）
A．approving
B．disapproving
C．encouraging
D．indifferent
