11. （10分）（2016•天津）根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。

Many people travel to different places in the world by air. Usually it takes a long time, perhaps half a day, for passengers to stay in the plan. So airlines（航空公司）offer passengers food. But it is common that they feel bad about food taste. Do you agree?
To solve this problem, airlines try hard to improve their food. They would like to do so because they don't want to lose customers.
However, according to scientific research, part of the reason why plane food tastes bad is that at high altitude（海拔）we can not taste things as well as we do on the ground. Also scientists have found that our noses become very dry even before a plane takes off. As the plane moves up, the change in air pressure（气压）reduces one third of the sensibility（感觉）of our taste buds（味蕾）. So our taste buds become senseless. The sad face, however, is that our noses don't know it.
All of these help explain why food on the plane tastes so bad. They also help explain why airlines choose to offer passengers salty and spicy（辛辣的）food. Without doing so, the food would be tasteless.
Now there are many researches on this. According to one of them, some volunteers are asked to lie with their feet higher than their heads for weeks. And scientists write down their feelings about food taste.
Though scientists try their best, it is not as easy as they thought. Because they can't deal with the special environment successfully, such as the change in air pressure, making food taste good is still hard for them.
（1）In Paragraph 2, “this problem” means ______.
A . passengers stay long in the plane
B . food on the plane tastes bad
C . passengers have no food to eat
D . food on the plane is expensive
（2）What do airlines do to solve this problem?
A . Get more customers.
B . Offer more food.
C . Improve their food.
D . Reduce the ticket price.
（3）As the plane moves up, the change in air pressure reduces of the sensibility of our taste buds.
A . half
B . one third
C . one fourth
D . one fifth
（4）Why do scientists feel it hard to made food on the plane taste good?
A . The volunteers don't know about food taste.
B . The volunteers don't understand them.
C . They can't find enough volunteers.
D . They can't deal with the special environment successfully.
（5）What is the best title of the passage?
A . Taste of Airplane Food
B . Airplane Travel
C . Scientific Research on Noses
D . The Change in Air Pressure
12. （6分） In the United States, when one becomes rich, he wants people to know it. And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what "keeping up withthe Joneses" is about. It is the story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbors.
The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began earning $ 125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood outside New York City. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horseback riding every day. When he saw that rich people had servants, Momand and his wife also hired a servant(仆人) and gave big parties for their new neighbors.
It was like a race, but one could never finish his race because one was always trying to keep up. The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They moved back to an apartment in New York City.
Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it "Keeping up with the Joneses" because "Jones" is a very common name in the United States. "Keeping up with the Joneses" came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you. Momand's series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.
People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. And there are “Joneses” in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead.
（1）Some people want to keep up with the Joneses because they _______.
A . want to be as rich as their neighbors
B . want others to know or to think that they are rich
C . don't want others to know they are rich
D . want to make themselves happy
（2）It can be inferred（推断）from the story that rich people like to_______.
A . live outside New York City
B . live in New York city
C . live in apartments
D . have many neighbors
（3）According to the writer, it is_______ to keep up with the Joneses.
A . correct
B . interesting
C . impossible
D . good
