I’ve had too many disappointing meals and paid too much money for them! At one point, fed up with my complaint, a friend suggested I open my own restaurant. Impossible, I thought. But then I heard about supper clubs.”Supper clubs are a miture of a restaurant and a dinner party—you go to a stranger’s house and he/she coos dinner for you. Lie a restaurant, you pay for your food, but lie a dinner party, you eat at the same table as other people. They are advertised through social-networing sites with a menu and little information about where the supper club is until just before the meal.“It’s lie running a secret restaurant for one night,” says Cassie. “The net morning, I set the tables and chairs aside. I put the TV bac and it’s my living room again.”Cassie opens her “restaurant” for people about once a month, and she really enjoys the evenings she’s had so far. She uses fresh, local ingredients and a typical meal costs about the same as a taeaway---much less than a restaurant meal. So how does she mae money out of it?“I don’t,” says Cassie. “In fact, at first I was worried about losing money on my club. I’m good at cooing but my math s is terrible! But I was surprised by how cheaply I could mae a good meal. This isn’t about money. It’s about a different eating eperience.”And what about inviting complete strangers into her house? Was Cassie ever nervous about that?“Not at all,” she says. “Almost everyone at the supper club is just interested in having a good meal with other interesting people”.4. Why did Cassie decide to open her own restaurant finally?A. To earn a livingB. To satisfy her friend’s needsC. To mae friends with strangersD. To coo cheap and good meals for others5. What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Dinner partiesB. Supper clubsC. Fresh ingredientsD. Invitations to dinner6. We can now that Cassie’s restaurant __________.A. serves meals for freeB. only serves taeawaysC. is only open to her friendsD. is only open in the evening7. How does Cassie feel about her restaurant now?A. WorriedB. ContentC. AnnoyedD. SensitiveCMany people believe that language belongs to human beings. However, cats have developed a language not for each other, but for the human begins who have them as pets.When communicat ing with each other, cats “tal” with a system of signals. Their tails, rather than any ind of “speech”, act as an important way to epress themselves. They also touch each other to epress their feelings. With other cats, they will use their voices only to epress pain. Unbelievable, all of that changes when a human wals into the room. Cats use many different inds of vocal(声音的)epressions when they communicate with a person. Since these vocal epressions are not used to communicate with other cats, it seems that cats developed this “language” to communicate with their human owners.This fact is shown more clearly when watching rooms that have only one cat and those with several cats. An only cat is usually very vocal, since the only creature(动物)around with whom the cat can communicate is its owner. Cats with other cats, though, are much quieter. If they want to have a conversation, they only need go to other cats and communicate in their natural way.Since cats learned to meow(喵喵叫)for the only purpose of communicating with human owners should tae the time to learn what their different meows mean. If an owner nows, to name just a few eamples, with meow means the cat is hungry, which means the cat wants to be petted, and which means the cat wants to have a litt le “conversation”, the relationship between cat and owner will be closer.8. If a cat among other has finds part of its body hurts, it may epress its pain with its_______.A. tailB. eyesC. voiceD. head9. When a human enters a room full of cats, they _________.A. begin to use vocal epressionsB. use their tails to show loveC. stop maing any noise anD. stop communicating with each other10. What are cat owners advised to do?A. Encourage cats to tal with each otherB. Communicate more with catsC. Learn to meow in different waysD. Teach cats to understand human language11. What is the tet mainly about?A. Communication among catsB. pets’ different epressionsC. Advice on eeping petsD. The language of catsDHow much weight a baby gains during its first month could determine its IQ, as a new research suggests. The study found that children who gain more weight, and whose heads grow quicly during the first month of life, tend to have a higher IQ when they start school.Researchers at the University of Adelaide, in Australia studied 13,800 children who were born at full-term. They found that hose who put on 40% of their birth weight in the first four wees had an IQ 1.5 points higher than those who only put on 15% of their birth weight. Those who eperienced the biggest growth in head circumference(头围)also had the highest IQs by the age of si.“Head circumference is an indicator o f brain volume, so a greater increase in head circumference in a newly-born baby suggests more rapid brain growth,” says the led author of the study, Dr. Lisa Smithers.She added, “Overall, newly-born children who grew faster in the first four wees had higher IQ scores later in life. those children who gained the most weight scored especially high on verbal(those children who gained the most weight scored especially high on verbal(言语)IQ at age 6. This my be because the neural(神经的) structures for verbal IQ develop earlier in life, which means the rapid weight gain during the first month could be having a direct cognitive benefit for the children.”Previous studies have shown the association between early postnatal(产后的)diet and IQ, but this is the first study of its ind to focus on the IQ benefits of rapid weight gain in the first month of life. Dr. Smithers says the study further highlights the need for successful feeding of newly-born babies. “We nowthat many mothers have difficulty establishing breastfeed ing in the first wee of their babies’ life,” Dr. Smithers said.“The findings of our study suggest that if babies are having feeding problems, there needs to be early intervention(干预)in the management of that feeding.”12. The study mainly shows that ____________.A. head circumference is certainly connected to IQB. babies’ heads grow quicly during the first monthC. full-term babies tend to be cleverer than premature babies(早产儿)D. the more weight newly-born babies gain, the higher IQ they are liely to have13. How did the researchers get their conclusion from the study?A. By asing questionsB. By maing comparisonC. By having a discussionD. By referring to documents14. According to Dr. Smithers, we can learn that _________.A. a id’s verbal IQ scores reach its highest at age siB. this study helps parents find feeding problemsC. quic weight gain benefits newly born babies on verbal IQD. this study reminds parents of the need for breastfeeding15. The study differs from previous ones that ____________.A. it associates early postnatal diet with IQB. it pays attention to the IQ of newly-born babiesC. it emphasies the significance of successful feedingD. it first focuses on the relation between IQ and weight gain in the first month of life.第二节阅读七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）Many people find it hard to lose weight and have to go starvation.
