The kitchen is not just where we prepare meals.In many places,the kitchen is the heart of the home.It’s where we connect with our family and friends.We have open talks about our pleasures and problems we met during the day while we make dinner of have a bite to eat.So,it can be a very busy room in the house.
Sometimes you need order int he kitchen for things to run smoothly.And sometimes you need one person to be in charge.Imagine you are cooking dinner for your friends.As you are making the soup, your friend Sara tastes it and says,”This needs more salt.”So,she adds more salt.Harlan comes to taste your soup and throws some fresh black pepper into the pot and some dried herbs.Cecilia tastes the soup and pours in some vinegar.What will the soup be like?
You are happy to spend time with your friends.But,quite frankly,all their opinions about your soup are becoming annoying.Worst of all,you taste the soup and it’s awful!And that is where we get the expression”too many cooks spoil the soup”.
This expression describes an age-old problem:If too many people help to complete a task,it may not go very well.But,you may think,”If many people are trying to get something done,the task will get done faster.”After all,American English also has the expression”many hands make light work.”
To answer that point,I will draw your attention to the word“cook”.Now,the cook is the leader in the kitchen.They may have assistants to help them.But the cook has the final say.So,what if a kitchen has

If you’ve ever driven across the United States of America,you have passed beneath the wings of a courageous songbird—smaller than your palm,light as your change pocket,feathered in bright blue and yellowish-brown—called the cliff swallow（崖燕）.Where other animals escape from the human
footprint,cliff swallows don’t.They should properly be called the bridge swallow,for our steel structures have furnished it with more nesting sites.Once a bird of the western mountains,in the last century cliff swallows have spread onto the Great Plains and across them,making their mud nests under bridges, works of birds’engineering no less impressive than our own.
For the last four decades Brown has paid annual visits to more than two hundred nesting sites in Nebraska,trying to figure out what makes swallow societies success or fail.“Ninety-eight percent of cliff swallows in western Nebraska,”Brown said,”are within fifty feet of a road.”
Near a road,of course,is the most dangerous place an animal can live.When Brown began studying swallows in the1980s,he often picked up dead swallows on the roads,wings broken and heads crushed.However,Brown found swallow roadkill had been decreasing.By2011it had dropped to four.Somehow swallows had become harder to kill.
He found his answer.When he stretched a tape measure from the birds’shoulders to their outermost feathers,he found car struck swallows had longer wings than the average bird he caught in his nets.Brown immediately understood the significance.Traffic was weeding slower long-winged swallows from the population and favoring the quicker,short-winged ones—Darwinian selection in action.
“Centuries ago...cliff swallow had existed largely beyond human influence;now they were so involved in our world that our infrastructure（基础设施）had influenced their DNA,”Brown said.Cliff swallows were rare winners of concrete and steel.Yet their success had come at a cost—to the long-winged swallows erased from the population and to the birds’altered genes themselves.They had been shaped by the road.
32.What is special about cliff swallows?
A.They avoid steel and concrete.
B.They are good at social engineering.
C.They take on colors of the background.
D.They take advantage of human footprint.
33.What leads to cliff swallows’survival from the roadkill?
A.Human aid.
B.Traffic control
C.Natural selection
D.Infrastructure improvement
34.What did cliff swallows’success cost them?
A.Habitat loss.
B.Abnormal shape of DNA.
C.Dramatic declines in population.
D.Change of a genetic characteristic.
35.What is the text most likely taken from a book about?
A.Road ecology
B.DNA profiting
C.Urban development
D.Environmental protection

The telephone rang.Jack answered the call from his mother,“Mr.Richard died last night.The funeral is Wednesday.”Memories flashed through his mind like an old newsreel（新闻影片）as he sat quietly remembering his childhood days.It had been some time since Jack had seen the old man.College,career,and life itself got in the way.In fact,Jack moved across the country in pursuit of his
dreams.There,in the rush of his busy life,Jack had little time to think about the past and often no time to spend with his wife and son.
“Jack,did you hear me?”
“Oh,sorry,Mom.Yes,I heard you.It’s been so long since I thought of him.”Jack said.
“Well,he didn’t forget you.Every time I saw him he’d ask how you were doing.He’d reminisced （追忆）about the many days you spent over‘his side of the fence’as he put it,”Mom told him.
After Jack’s father died,Mr.Richard stepped in to make sure Jack had a man’s influence in his life and it was Mr.Richard who taught Jack many things.Jack wouldn’t have been in this business if it hadn’t been for Mr.Richard.
Busy as he was,he returned home and attended the funeral,which was small and uneventful.Mr. Richard had no children of his own,and most of his relatives had passed away.
The night before Jack had to return home,he and his mother stopped by to see the old house next door one more time.Standing in the middle of the room,Jack paused for a moment.It was like crossing over into another dimension,a leap through ce and time.The house was exactly as he remembered.Every step held memories.Every picture,every piece of furniture...Jack stopped suddenly.
“What’s wrong,Jack?”Mom asked.
“Where is the watch,the thing he valued most?”he seemed to ask himself.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右。

2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。

“It was a gold pocket watch that he used to wear every day,”he told his mom.

“It was a gold pocket watch that he used to wear every day,”he told his mom.And then he continued,”I must have asked him hundreds of times to let me play with the shiny watch.He always refused and all he had ever told me was that the pocket watch was what he valued most.”Now that it was gone,Jack would never know why Mr.Richard treasured it so much.Jack believed Mr.Richard had gone to heaven with his pocket watch.Good memories with Mr.Richard let him soon forget about the sorrow as well as the watch.
One day Jack received a package on his desk.It was posted from Mr.Richard two weeks ago.Jack carefully opened the package,inside which was Mr.Richard’s gold pocket watch.Jack’s hands shook as he held the watch.He lifted the lid and found these words carved inside:”Jack.Thanks for your time! Harold Richard.”Tears misted his eyes.”He sent what he valued most to me before he died...”Jack stared at the watch for a few minutes,and then called his assistant to clear his appointments for the next two days.He needed some time to spend with his family.。
