ARice is one of those foods that you always make way too much of and end up eating leftovers for lunch the next day. But no complaints, leftover rice still tastes just as good, unlike leftover French fries. There are smartways to use your leftovers. But, most people don’t know that leftover rice is extremely accessible to food poisoning.Bacillus CereusUncooked rice has cells that are able to reproduce quickly called Bacillus cereus. Bacillus cereus can cause food poisoning, and it is able to survive on the rice even when it’s cooked. That’s why there are some food poisoning myths that you may ignore.The Way to StoreIt has nothing to do with the way the rice is reheated, but rather the way the rice is stored after you first cook it. The trouble comes when you leave your rice sitting out a room temperature right after you cook it. When left out the spores can grow into bacteria and multiply causing you to get food poisoning when you eat your leftovers the next day.As you probably guessed, the longer the rice is left out after you cook it, the more likely it is that it will get food poisoning. The National Health Service recommends keeping your cooked rice out for no longer than an hour. It’s best to get it in the fr idge as soon as possible.Try to Know MoreTake the time to break out the food storage container and put your leftover foods in the fridge before you dig into your dinner. You’ll thankyourself later. And to make sure you don’t get sick eating some other t ype of leftover, make sure you know about the other foods that commonly cause food poisoning.21.The passage is mainly written to .A.state some benefits of eating riceB.teach people how to cook delicious riceC.warn us of danger of eating leftover riceD.introduce the disease caused by food poisoning22.When rice is cooked, Bacillus Cereus can .A. still survive on itB. be completely ignoredC. reproduce cells quicklyD. do no harm to people’s health23.According to the writer, how to store your leftover rice?A.Keep it warm for a long time.B.Reheat it over and over again.C. Get it in the fridge immediately.D. Place it out at room temperature.BIt wouldn’t be accurate to say that heights make Kathie nervous.Terrified would be more accurate. Or j ust plain “scared to death.”But what on earth was she doing on top of a 50-foot rappelling(绳索垂降) tower? I mean, besides screaming.The answer isn’t easy, but it is surprisingly simple. What it comes down to is this: Kathie was part of a team, and she refused to let them down. With their support she was able to conquer fear. She climbed the ladder step by painful step, hitched herself to the rappelling ropes, cautiously backed over the edge and dropped herself down. It wasn’t pretty with all of the screaming. But she did it. And that was the important thing.The next day I asked Kathie if the experience helped her to overcome her fear of heights. “Define ‘overcome,’” she said. “Well, are you less afraid of heights now?” I asked. “Is bungee jumping up next for you?” “You’ ve got to be kidding,” Kathie said, laughing. “I’m just as afraid as I ever was.” “So basically, this experience didn’t really do anything for you,” I observed. “Sure it did,” she said. “It didn’t remove my fear. But it helped me prove to myse lf that I could do something despite my fear.” “Even though you’re still afraid?” “Exactly,” she said. “It turns out that the height of the tower wasn’t really the issue. Fear was the issue. And my team gave me the courage I needed to handle the fear.” “And that’s something you’ll remember next time you’re up on a rappelling tower?”“Hopefully,” she said confidentially, “there will never be a next time.”OK, so maybe she isn’t exactly a profile in courage. Or is she?Most of us would probably define “courage” using words like “bold,” “fearless” and “unafraid.” But as I consider Kathie’s experience, it seems to me that those qualities don’t have a lot to do with courage. The fearless person needs no courage. Same with the person who is boldly unafraid. Real courage is the ability to overcome fear in order to do what needs to be done.For people like Kathie, the important thing is finding the right foundation upon which to build a courageous response –and then responding. Courageously. With or without the screaming. No matter how nervous, terrified, or just plain scared we may be.24.Why was Kathie on top of the tower?A.She thought it exciting.B.She wanted to scream on it.C.She hated to disappoint her team.D.She meant to show off her courage.25.According to the conversation, we can learn that Kathie .A.was going to try it againB.overcame her fear of heightsC. got interested in bungee jumpingD. could do something even with fear26.The author took Kathie as an example in order to .A.show us the real me aning of “courage”B.prove Kathiewas actually a fearless womanC. think highly of those who are boldly unafraidD. introduce some other words related to “courage”27.Which of the following can be the best title?A. Never be afraid.B. Scream with courage.C. Overcome your fear.D. Don’t let others down.CA man in London has become the second known HIV-positive adult to be cleared of the virus that causes the disease AIDS. The man received a stem cell transplant three years ago. He was treated with anti-retroviral(抗逆转录病毒) drugs until about 18 months ago. Now, tests show he has no sign of the HIV virus in his blood.“There is no virus there that we can measure. We can’t detect anything,” said Ravindra Gupta, a professor and HIV scientist who played a leadin g role in treating the man. The patient’s name, nationality or age is not public. He is called “the London patient” because he was treated inthe British capital. A similar identification was given to the first known person cleared of HIV infection over te n years ago, the “Berlin patient”. Both men experienced a similar treatment.But there was something unusual about the person who gave the London patient stem cells. The giver or donor had a natural resistance to HIV. In other words, something about this p erson’s body made it impossible for him or her to become infected with the HIV virus. As a result, when the London patient received the stem cells, his immune system changed and he developed a natural resistance to HIV, too.Ravindra Gupta notes that the d onor’s unusual resistance to HIV may not be the only reason the treatment cleared the London patient’s infection. He notes that the Berlin patient and the London patient had similar side effects after the treatment. In both cases, the donors’ stem cells im mediately began to attack the patients’ immune cells. This interaction may have helped destroy some of the HIV infection in the patients, Gupta says.Experts who study AIDS say the success of the Berlin patient and the London patient is very important. Their experiences show that scientists will one day be able to end AIDS. But they also warn that a cure has not been found. The blood treatments the Berlin and London patients had have failedin other patients. The treatments are also too dangerous, expensive and risky to do for the large number of people who already have the virus that causes AIDS.28. From the example of the two patients, we can learn that HIV virus .A. shows no sign in people’ bloodB. is bound to lead to the disease AIDSC. is mainly treated in the British capitalD. can be cleared with a stem cell transplant29. What was special in the London patient case?A. His immune system totally broke down.B. No side effects appeared in his treatment.C. He would not be infected with HIV again.D. His treatment was the first case in the world.30.W hat’s the author’s attitude towards the treatments?A.Negative.B. Cautious.C. Favorable.D. Indifferent.31. Where does this text probably come from?A.A science news report.B. A biology textbook.C. A meditation guide.D. A science fiction.DThe popularity of winter clothing made with animal hair has greatly increased the demand for fur of coyotes(土狼), wild animals that are related to dogs and wolves and mainly found in North America. Many people living in cold-weather places around the world wear coats designed with furry edges that circle the head and neck. Many clothing companies use coyote fur from the United States to create these kinds of coats. Coyote fur is a favored choice because it is naturally full, soft and has beautiful colors. A good coyote from the western United States is highly valued and can sell for at least $100.The best time for trapping coyotes is in late fall and early winter, when coyote coats are at their fullest. But a lot of the selling happens in late winter. Much of the fur is sold at big auction(拍卖) houses in Canada. Local sales are also held in areas near where the animals are caught. One such auction was recently held in the small town of Herkimer, New York. People gathered in a local community center there to take part in the auction. Tables inside were filled with hundreds of furs from coyotes and other animals.Fur experts say the increase in demand for coyote fur started with coats made by Canadian clothing company Canada Goose, whose coats saw a big jump in sales in 2020. It happened after American model Kate Upton wore one of the company’s coats ov er her swimsuit in a photo that appeared inthe U.S. magazine Sports Illustrated. Over the years, more famous people and their fans have also chosen to wear the fur-lined coats. Canada Goose coats can now sell for up to $1,000. “Canada Goose is always the name that people relate to,” Mark Downey, head of Canada’s Fur Harvesters Auction company, noted. “But there are so many other brands that make similar coats.”Downey predicts the large demand for coyote fur will continue. The hot market for coyotes comes as more and more trappers deal with recent economic downturns in both China and Russia. They also face competition from people raising animals for fur.However, animal rights activists call the trapping process cruel. They claim that, in several ways to the public, a large amount of evidence has been collected which may account for those inhuman activities.32.T he popularity of coats made with coyote fur is mainly due to .A.people’s love for wild animalsB.its natural qualities and colorsC.the growing number of coyotesD.clothing company’s fancy design33.T he increase in demand for coyote fur started when .A.the best time for trapping coyotes cameB.more people took part in the big auctionC.the company Canada Goose was founded in 2020D.the model appeared in the magazines wearing coyote coats34.W hat challenge will Canada Goose face?A.The high price of coyote fur.B.A fall in sales of fur-lined coats.C.The competition from other coat companies.D.A new rule that allows people raise animals for fur.35.W hat will the passage probably talk about next?A.The future development of Canada Goose.B.The advantagestrappershave over others.C.The demand for coyote fur will decrease soon.D.The appeals to people to stop trapping coyotes.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。
