AYou’re swallowing a fruit salad and everything’s fine. Then suddenly your tongue feels itchy. The comers of your mouth start to sting. Before you know it, your entire mouth feels burnt and irritated. What’s going on?Is there pineapple or kiwi fruit in that salad? They both contain specific enzymes(生化酶) called bromelain (sourced from pineapple) and actinidain (found in kiwis, as well as mangos, papayas and bananas in lower amounts) that break down proteins, including the ones in your mouth. Literally, if you eat pineapple or kiwi fruit, the enzymes will eat the surface of your tongue in return.Wow, isn’t that dangerous for my tongue?!Bromelain and actinidain are so potent that they are actually used commercially to tenderise meat. But, usually, the enzymes are not harmful to humans. It’s important, however, to be aware of the difference between a normal reaction and an allergic one. The actinidain in kiwis, in particular, is a common allergen, so if you experience swelling, rashes, vomiting or unusual pain,see a doctor!But it is strange that canned pineapple doesn’t hurt my mouth at all.Well, that’s because in the canning process, the pineapple is heated up to kill any bacteria (and enzymes). But the canned stuff is often full of preservatives and added sugar. We definitely recommend fresh pineapple, in small amounts, paired with nutritious delicious dishes like a beef burger. It’ll minimize the itch!21. Actinidain can be found in various fruits EXCEPT ______.A. pineappleB. kiwiC. mangoD. banana22. Enzymes can ______.A. break down our tonguesB. be totally harmlessC. make our tongues tenderD. make some people vomit23. Why did the author prefer fresh pineapple to canned pineapple?A. Because fresh pineapple can minimize the itch.B. Because enzymes in fresh pineapple can break down protein.C. Because fresh pineapple is free of preservatives and added sugar.D. Because canned pineapple has lost enzymes during the canning process.24. We might read this passage from a ______.A. science fictionB. cook brochureC. biology textbookD. botany journalBA man once said how useless it was to put advertisements in the newspapers. “Last week,” said he, “my umbrel la was stolen from a London church. As it was a present from my girlfriend, I spent twice its worth in advertising, but didn’t get it back.”“How did you write your advertisement?” asked one of the listeners, a merchant.“Here it is,” said the man, taking out of his pocket a slip cut from a newspaper.The other man took it and read, “Lost from the City Church last Sunday evening a black silk umbrella. The gentleman who finds it will receive ten shillings on leaving it at No 10 Broad Street.”“Now,” said the merchant, “I often advertise, and find that it pays me well. But the wayin which an advertisement is expressed is of extreme importance. Let us try your umbrella again, and if it fails, I will buy you a new one.”The merchant then took a slip of paper ou t of his pocket and wrote: “If the man who was seen to take an umbrella from the City Church last Sunday evening doesn’t wish to get into trouble, he will return the umbrella to No. 10 Broad Street. He is well-known.”This appeared in the paper, and on the following morning, the man was astonished when he opened the front door. In the doorway lay at least twelve umbrellas of all sizes and colors that had been thrown in and his own was among them. Many of them had notes fastened to them saying that they had been taken by mistake, and begging the loser not to say anything about the matter.25. The purpose of the story is to tell us ______.A. how a merchant found his umbrellaB. how a man lost and found his umbrellaC. how to make an effective advertisementD. how to put an advertisement in the newspaper26. “If it fails, I will buy you a new one” suggested that ______.A. he was willing to help othersB. he was rich enough to afford an umbrellaC. he was not sure if he would get the umbrella backD. he has confidence in his advertising techniques27. Why did the new advertisement work?A. It appealed to the readers.B. It used the suitable medium.C. it used the effective words.D. It identified the umbrella thief.CThe original Dream Team, the U.S. basketball team that won the gold medal at the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona, was a phenomenon on and off the court. It mattered not that it dominated the Olympic competition, beating its eight opponents by an average of 44 points. What was important was that the Dream Team, the first U.S. Olympic team to include NBA stars, gave fans a glimpse of basketball at its finest, and an entire world responded.Since 1992, basketball has exploded in popularity around the globe, rising to a place where it truly challenges soccer’s status as the world’s most popular sport. Much of that is due to the impact of the Dream Team, which attracted fans and followers wherever it went.“It was,” said Coach Chuck Daly, “like Elvis and the Beatles put together. Traveling with the Dream Team w as like traveling with 12 rock stars. That’s all I can compare it to.”And what a band it was. Start with three of the game’s all-time greats: Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson and Larry Bird. Add the uncontrollable Charles Barkley for a little spice, as well as seven more NBA All-Stars: centers David Robinson and Patrick Ewing, power forward Karl Malone, swingmen Scottie Pippen, Chris Mullin and Clyde Drexler and point guard John Stockton. Complete the list with Christian Laettner, the best college player of 1991-92 and a future NBA All-Star.Other teams didn’t have a chance, but they didn’t care. One player, while trying to guard Magic Johnson, was seen frantically waving to a camera-wielding teammate on the bench, signaling to make sure he got a picture of them together.“They knew they were playing against the best in the world,” reflected Daly after the team won the gold medal with a 117-85 win over Croatia on August 8, 1992. “They’ll go home and for the rest of their lives be able to tell their kids, ‘I pla yed against Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson and Larry Bird.’ And the more they play against our best players, the more confident they’re going to get.“Finally there will come a day -- I’m not saying it will happen anytime soon, mind you, but it’s inevita ble that it will happen -- that they will be able to compete with us on even terms(不相上下). And they’ll look back on the Dream Team as a landmark event in that process.”28. Which one is true according to the text?A. Soccer had been the most popular sports before 1992.B. The Beatles traveled with the Dream Team during the Olympics.C. The 12 players in the Dream Team had become NBA stars before 1992.D. David Robinson, Patrick Ewing and Larry Bird were centers of the Dream Team29. From the 5th paragraph, it can be implied that ______.A. the player was an enthusiastic fan of Magic JohnsonB. Croatia won the silver medal at the 1992 OlympicsC. other teams didn’t want to play against the Dream TeamD. the player was eager to call his teammate to help guard Magic Johnson30. According to Chuck Daly, the Dream Team ______.A. would never be challenged in the futureB. inspired basketball players of other countriesC. consisted of basketball players and rock starsD. discouraged basketball players of other countries31. What is the best title for the article?A. the Dream Team Met ChallengesB. the Dream Team Defeated CroatiaC. the Dream Team Won Gold MedalD. the Dream Team Redefined BasketballDI kept rainwater out of Richard Parker’s sight in the three 50-litre plastic bags. Those plastic bag s wouldn’t have been more precious to me had they contained gold, silver and diamonds.I worried endlessly about them. My worst nightmare was that I would wake one morning and find that all three had spilled or, worse still, had split. To prevent such a tragedy, I wrapped them in blankets to keep them from rubbing against the metal body of the lifeboat, and I moved them as little as possible to reduce wear and tear.When the going was good, when the rain was heavy, when the bags had as much water as I thought they could take, I filled the two plastic buckets, the two multi-purpose plastic containers and the empty cans of water (which I now preciously kept), if the rain was still coming down, I used myself as a container. I stuck the end of the rain-catcher tube in my mouth and I drank and I drank and I drank. On occasion, in the early days, Richard Parker dipped his head overboard, sniffed (嗔) the sea and took a few sips, but quickly he stopped doing it. Still, we barely got by. The lack of fresh water was the single most constant source of anxiety and suffering throughout our journey.Of whatever food I caught, Richard Parker took the lion’s share, so to speak. I had little choice in the matter. He was immediately aware when I caught a turtle or a shark, and I had to give quickly and generously. I think I set world records for sawing open the belly shells of turtles. As for fish, they were cut up to pieces practically while they were still struggling about. IfI got to be so eager for everything I ate, it was not simply because of terrifying hunger; it was also plain rush. Sometimes I just didn’t have the time to consider what was before me. It either went into my mouth that instant or was lost to Richard Parker, who was scratching and stamping the ground with claws and roaring impatiently on the edge of his territory. It came as an unmistakable indication to me of how low I had sunk the day I noticed that I ate like an animal, that this noisy, crazy, unchewing wolfing-down of mine was exactly the way Richard Parker ate.32. What does the underlined sentence mean?A. The plastic bags were more precious than treasures.B. The plastic bags were not as precious as treasures.C. The plastic bags with treasures in them were precious.D. The plastic bags with treasures in them were not precious.33. The author suffered from ______ the most.A. the lack of foodB. the taste of turtleC. the shortage of fresh waterD. the fear of Richard Parker34. Why was the author desperate for foods?A. He was trying to set a world record in fishing.B. He did so just because he was extremely hungry.C. He found fish tasted better when eating quickly.D. He had to swallow foods before Richard Parker got them.35. We can learn from the passage that Richard Parker might be a ______.A. kangarooB. zebraC. sailorD. tiger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。
