AEveryone fancies a bargain:if it is free,everyone loves it even more!Those who do not believe in a free lunch can now eat their words because it is possible to get things for free in Singapore without any conditions attached.Let me introduce you to some tips on where and how to gain some free presents,all without even touching your wallet.FoodGo search for food festivals and fairs.These food sellers usually put out a lot of small samples for all to try.Famous ones include the Singapore Food Festival held annually in the month of July at various locations including the Takashimaya Square and Plaza Singapore.HaircutsThere are well-known hair salons every month that require hair models or apprentices（学徒）to exercise their skills or for their hair stylist to experiment with new styles.Unbelievable as it might sound,most people come out of this experience satisfied and addicted to more of such deals.Free InternetMost hotels offer free wifi.There are also many cafes in Singapore that offer free wireless surfing.However,order a coffee to avoid unfriendly stares from the staff.Popular spots include the Macdonald's,the Starbucks,and cafe Galilee outlets throughout our island.Free City TourIf you are a traveler in Singapore,the Singapore Tourism Board has arranged for you to enjoy a free two-hour city tour that offers you a choice to enjoy a Sentosa Island tour or a small boat experience.Living and traveling in Singapore is expensive,but sometimes all it takes is a closer look at all the little sheltered corners of this island to appreciate the occasional treasures that are given to those who seek.21.Which of the following best explains the underlined part“all without even touching your wallet”?A.Free of charge.B.Free of worry.C.Free of pain.D.Free of tax.22.From which way does free“Haircuts”benefit hair salons?A.Advertising their products.B.Attracting more customers.C.Developing their staffs'skills.D.Building their reputation.23.In which part of a magazine can we read this text?A.Health.B.Economy.cation.D.Travel.BJessica Burks’home is full of opportunities.Packaged slime(黏土)in a variety of colors and pleasant smells lines one wall of living room,and,in the designated“slime room”workspace in the back,bottles of fragrance oil are arranged in rows,next to glue and an industrial-size kitchenmixer.But it’s not the amount of slime in Burks’house that shocks people,she said.It’s that her15-year-old daughter,Samantha Zumwalt,is in charge of their enterprise.The mother-daughter team run Samantha’s Slime Shop at home and the demand for their products helps them earn six figures a year.Samantha’s slime,offered in a rainbow of colors and a range of textures(质地),is in high demand.Since she started her business,she’s made more than24,000sales on Etsy.The customers are generally young—between9and12years old,Burks said,though some adults and teens buy slime,too.Some customers buy Samantha’s slime because they say playing with it is calming. Others want it because it gives them something to do with their hands.Last year,Nichole Jacklyne,a social media blogger,who reviews slime and provides DIY lessons for hundreds of thousands of followers,reviewed Samantha’s product in a video.After Jacklyne’s video,orders poured into Samantha’s shop,Burks said.However,Samantha’s mom was initially resistant to the girl’s slime ambitions.It took months for Samantha to convince her mom to buy the key materials to make slime.“I told her no for months,”Burks said.Finally,Burks gave in.She had been laid off from her job as an accountant, and the two dove into the slime business.Now,Burks is proud of Samantha for running the business so well,“I hope she can meet all of her business goals—whether that’s still running the slime enterprise,or buying another business out,or starting a new business,”she said.“Whatever her dreams are…is where I want her to be.”24.Why does the author specifically describe Jessica Burks’home in Paragraph1?A.To stress the amount of slime there.B.To present how special her home is.C.To introduce Samantha’s slime business.D.To show the business opportunities of slime.25.What do we know about Samantha’s slime from the text?A.It only wins popularity with kids.B.All adults buy it just for recreation.C.Social media contributes greatly to its sales.D.It helps Samantha get more followers on the Internet.26.How does Jessica Burks’attitude to Samantha’s slime business change?A.Worried→Favorable.B.Doubtful→Objective.C.Negative→Cautious.D.Disapproving→Supportive.27.What is the passage mainly about?A.Samantha’s slime business is a success.B.Samantha promotes her slime online.C.Playing with slime puts people at ease.D.Jessica Burks quits to run her slime businessCThere is so much to choose from whether you’re a foodie or someone who just likes eating. We know that too much of the wrong kind of food can be bad for our health,but for some people having a food allergy means eating certain things can actually be harmful and now,it seems,this is affecting more and more of us.An allergy is caused by the immune system fighting substances in the environment,known as allergens(过敏原),which should be seen as harmless.Food allergies can cause life-threatening reactions,which means people have to spend their lives following strict dietary restrictions and worrying about the ingredients of everything they consume.Allergy specialist Dr Adam Fox says,“If you look back over,say,30or40years...there are much more allergic problems around now than there were.”We often hear about people having allergies to dairy products and to st year a young girl died after suffering a deadly allergic reaction from eating a baguette containing sesame seeds.This led to a call for better food-labeling laws.Research has found that this problem is particularly affecting children.More and more of them are having allergic reactions to certain foodstuffs.Dr Alexandra Santos from King’s College London says“food allergy now affects about7percent of children in the UK and9 percent of those in Australia.Across Europe,2percent of adults have food allergies”.So what might be the cause?Dr Santos says the increase in allergies is not simply the effect of society becoming more aware of them and better at diagnosing them;it seems to be more environmental.She says possible factors are“pollution,dietary changes and less exposure to Microbes(微生物),which change how our immune systems respond”.A lot of work is being done to try and find a cure,but that's not easy.So for now allergy sufferers must watch what they eat and they must rely on clear and accurate labeling.28.What does the underlined word“this”in paragraph1refer to?A.Having an imbalanced diet.B.Being allergic to some certain food.C.Consuming too much of harmful food.D.Fighting substances in the environment.29.Which of the following writing skills is NOT used in paragraph2&3?A.Presenting specific data.B.Giving a definition.C.Offering an example.D.Making a comparison.30.What can we infer from the text?A.Dairy products are to blame for most food allergies.B.Kids don’t suffer from food allergies as much as adults.C.Allergies unknown in the past may be diagnosed now.D.More exposure to microbes can reduce food allergies.31.What’s a practical suggestion for allergy sufferers?A.Never try new food.B.Make efforts to find a cure.C.Have a balanced diet.D.Read labels before eating.DJames Harrison had a major chest operation when he was14and he required13units(3.4 gallons)of blood afterwards.The blood donations saved his life,and he decided that once he turned18,he would begin donating blood as regularly as he could.More than60years and almost1,200donations later,Harrison,whose blood contains an antibody(抗体)that has saved the lives of2.4million babies from miscarriages(流产),retired as a blood donor on May11.Harrison’s blood is valuable because he naturally produces Rh-negative blood,which contains Rh-positive antibodies.His blood has been used to create anti-D in Australia since1967.“Every bottle of Anti-D ever made in Australia has James’s blood in it,”Robyn Barlow,the Rh program director told the Sydney Morning Herald.“It’s an amazing thing.He has saved millions of babies.I cry just thinking about it.”Since then,Harrison has donated between500 and800milliliters of blood almost every week.He’s made1,162donations from his right arm and10from his left.“I’d keep going if they let me,”Harrison told the Herald.His doctors said it was time to stop the donations—and they certainly don’t take them lightly.They had already extended the age limit for blood donations for him,and they’re cutting him off now to protect his health.He made his final donation surrounded by some of the mothers and babies who his blood helped save.Harrison’s retirement is a blow to the Rh treatment program in Australia.Only160donors support the program,and finding new donors has proven to be difficult But Harrison’s retirement from giving blood doesn’t mean he’s completely out of the game.Scientists are collecting and cataloging his DNA to create a library of antibodies and white blood cells that could be the future of the anti-D program in Australia.32.What do we know about James Harrison?A.He saved2.4million poor people.B.He is to retire as a blood donor.C.He is a very grateful blood donor.D.He donates blood nearly every day.33.What is the author’s purpose of writing Paragraph4?A.To state Harrison’s decision to continue donating blood.B.To describe how Harrison’s donations come to an end.C.To introduce some babies saved by Harrison’s blood.D.To praise Harrison for his cooperation with the doctors.34.What can we infer from the passage about Harrison?A.After his retirement,the Rh program will fail.B.New donors are easy to find in a short time.C.He continues to contribute to the Rh program.D.His DNA is kept in a library for future study.35.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.A Unique Man with a Rare Blood TypeB.The Blood Saving Millions of BabiesC.A Special Blood Type Donor to RetireD.The Man with the Golden Arm第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
