"I pay £5 for a portion(一份), but Matt makes them for 26p a portion, because they are flour, water, sugar and oil. Everybody can buy takeaway food, but sometimes we’re not aware how cheaply we can make this food ourselves. "The eight-part series(系列节自), Save Money: Good Food, foll ows in the footsteps of ITV’s Save Money: Good Health, which gave viewers advice on how to get value from the vast range of health products on the market.With food our biggest weekly household expense, Susanna and Matt spend time with a different family each week.

That’s the message from a group of members of the UK government who have been examining how social media firms like LinkedIn gather and use social media data.The House of Commons Science and Technology Committee’s report, released last week, has blamed firms for making people sign up to long incomprehensible legal contracts and calls for an international standard or kitemark (认证标记) to identify sites that have clear terms and conditions.“The term and conditions statement that we all carelessly agree to is meaningless drivel to anyone,” says Andrew Miller, the chair of the committee. Instead, he says, firms should provide a plain-English version of their terms. The simplified version would be checked by a third party and awarded a kitemark if it is an accurate reflection of the original.It is not yet clear who would administer the scheme, but the UK government is looking at introducing it on a voluntary basis. “we need to think through how we make that work in practice,” says Miller. Would we pay any more attention to a kitemark? “I think if you went and did the survey, people would like to think they would,” says Nigel Shadbolt at the University of Southampton, UK, who studies open data. “We do know people worry a lot about the inappropriate use of their information. But what would happen in practice is another matter,” he says. Other organisations such as banks ask customers to sign long contracts they may not read or understand,but Miller believes social media requires special attention because it is so new. “We still don’t know how significant the long-term impact is going to be of unwise things that kids put on social media that come back and bite them in 20 years’ time,” he says.Shadbolt, who gaveevidence to the committee, says the problem is that we don’t know how companies will use our data because their business models and uses of data are still evolving. Large collections of personal informationhave become valuable only recently, he says.The shock and anger when a social media firm does something with data that people don’t expect, even if users have apparently permission, show that the current situation isn’t working. If properly administered, a kitemark on terms and conditions could help people know what exactly they are signing up to. Although they would still have to actually read them.33. What does the phrase “meaningless drivel” in paragraphs 1 and 3 refer to?A. Legal contracts that social media firms make people sign up to.B. Warnings from the UK government against unsafe websites.C. Guidelines on how to use social media websites properly.D. Insignificant data collected by social media firms.34. It can be inferred from the passage that Nigel Shadbolt doubts whether_______.A. social media firms would conduct a survey on the kitemark schemeB.people would pay as much attention to a kitemark as they thinkC. a kitemark scheme would be workable on a nationwide scaleD. the kitemark would help companies develop their business models 35. Andrew Miller thinks social media needs more attention than banks mainly because_______. A. their users consist largely of kids under 20 years old B.the language in their contracts is usually harder to understand C. the information they collected could become more valuable in future D. it remains unknown how users’data will be taken advantage of36. The writer advises users of social media to_______. A. think carefully before posting anything onto such websites B. read the terms and conditions even if there is a kitemark C. take no further action if they can find a kitemark D. avoid providing too much personal information D 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

If properly administered, a kitemark on terms and conditions could help people know what exactly they are signing up to. Although they would still have to actually read them.33. What does the phrase ＂ meaningless drivel＂ in paragraphs 1 and 3 refer to?A. Legal contracts that social media firms make people sign up to.B. Warnings from the UK government against unsafe websites.C. Guidelines on how to use social media websites properly.D. Insignificant data collected by social media firms.34. It can be inferred from the passage that Nigel Shadbolt doubts whether _______.A. social media firms would conduct a survey on the kitemark schemeB. people would pay as much attention to a kitemark as they thinkC. a kitemark scheme would be workable on a nationwide scaleD. the kitemark would help companies develop their business models35. Andrew Miller thinks social media needs more attention than banks mainly because _______.A. their users consist largely of kids under 20 years oldB. the language in their contracts is usually harder to understandC. the information they collected could become more valuable in futureD. it remains unknown how users’ data will be taken advantage of36. The writer advises users of social media to _______.A. think carefully before posting anything onto such websitesB. read the terms and conditions even if there is a kitemarkC. take no further action if they can find a kitemarkD. avoid providing too much personal informationDBad news sells. If it bleeds, it leads. No news is good news, and good news is no news. Those are the classic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers. But now that information is being spread and monitored(监控) in different ways, researchers are discovering new rules. By tracking people’s e-mails and online posts, scientists have found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob stories.＂The ‘if it bleeds’ rule works for mass media,＂ says Jonah Berger, a scholar at the University of Pennsylvania. ＂They want your eyeballs and don’t care how you’re feeling. But when you share a story with your friends, you care a lot more how they react. You don’t want them to think of you as a Debbie Downer.＂Researchers analyzing word-of-mouth communication — e-mails, Web posts and reviews, face-to-face conversations — found that it tended to be more positive than negative(消极的), but that didn’t necessarily mean people preferred positive news. Was positive news shared more often simply because people experienced more good things than bad things? To test for that possibility, Dr. Berger looked at how people spread a particular set of news stories: thousands of articles on The New York Times’ website. He and a Penn colleague analyzed the ＂most e-mailed＂ list for six months. One of his first findings was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the list than non-science articles. He found that science amazed Times’ readers and made them want to share this positive feeling with others.Readers also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny, or that inspired negative feelings like anger or anxiety, but not articles that left them merely sad. They needed to be aroused(激发) one way or the other, and they preferred good news to bad. The more positive an article, the more likely it was to be shared, as Dr. Berger explains in his new book, ＂Contagious: Why Things Catch On.＂37. What do the classic rules mentioned in the text apply to?A. News reports.B. Research papers.C. Private e-mails.D. Daily conversations.38. What can we infer about people like Debbie Downer?A. They’re socially inactive.B. They’re good at telling stories.C. They’re inconsiderate of others.D. They’re careful with their words.39. Which tended to be the most e-mailed according to Dr. Berger’s research?A. Sports news.B. Science articles.C. Personal accounts.D. Financial reviews.40. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Sad Stories Travel Far and Wide.B. Online News Attracts More People.C. Reading Habits Change with the Times.D. Good News Beats Bad on Social Networks.第二节（共5题，每小题3分，共15分）Since the mid-1980s,the Aluminum Cans for Burned Children Burn Camp has been offering children with burn sears a week of relief."They have a lot of emotional things that they go through,trying to fit back in with society with their scars,"said Becky Mundy.burn center education coordinator at Akron Children's Hospital.The camp typically has around 15 campers.Many are repeat customers,and most were treated at Akron Children's Hospital or began coming after they moved to the area.The camp is free to campers and is funded by an organization named Aluminum Cans for Burned Children which raises money for burn survivors and their families.The Thursday of the camp week is Fire Truck Day,when dozens of local fire trucks arrive, along with camp alumni(校友），doctors and nurses,and family members.Campers get to see fire vehicles up close and interact with the firefighters.Sometimes,they are the very ones who rescued the campers,months or years earlier.It is,they say,a bond that never goes away.But Fire Truck Day contributes in another way,allowing them to see each other in a different light.Memories of a bad fire can be unforgettable.Nearly two years ago,Pazdernik carried an injured girl out of a burning house in which her parents perished,and later the girl was adopted by a kind family.On Fire Truck Day,Pazdernik got to see the girl he saved,Shaniya Simpson.She shared a hug with the firefighters who had rescued her.and said it was good to see them.＂I think it helps her heal,"said Kim Canterbury,who was Shaniya's teacher at the time of the fire."Just by saying thank you."It was good for Pazdernik,too."To see her go on with life and be happy,you're able to see that you had an impact on her,"he said."lt's definitely a lot more fulfilling."41．Which kind of children does the camp work for?(no more than 5 words)42．Who provides financial support for the camp?(no more than 10 words)43．Why does Fire Truck Day have special meaning to both firefighters and the campers?（no more than 15 words) 44．What does the underlined word"perished"in Paragraph 5 mean?(only I word)45．If you are to be a volunteer of the camp,what will you do to help the campers?（no more than 25 words)五、作文第一节 应用文（共1小题，共15分）假定你是李华，你校英文报＂外国文化＂栏目拟刊登介绍美国节日风俗和中学生生活的短文。

The area is also famous for its gold dealers, and there are lots of gold shops along the road.MauritiusFound in Port Louis, this Mauritian Chinatown shows the island nation’s rich multicultural diversity. Built in the early years of the 20th century by settlers from China, its tiny shops and restaurants serve locals and visitors. During the Chinese Spring Festival, the most exciting sight is the Dragon Dances on Rue Royale when Chinese musicians and dancers perform the traditional lion dances through the streets.1.

AEnvelope BudgetFrom McDonald’s to Sonic,fast food had a bad effect on my waistline and my budget.It was nothing to run to a drive-through to pick up a cold drink or a quick biteto eat.It was so easy to usemy cardfor a small purchase.For me,I got a lot of satisfaction from fast food.One day I sat down andcalculated that I was spending a surprising$40a week on fast food. This was a lot of iced coffee and hamburgers!Instead of reducing my guilty pleasures,I decided to give myself a strong budget toreducemy consumption.Every Monday I placed an envelope with $20in my purse.That was my fastfood budget for the entire week.If there wasanything left over at the end of the week,it was mine to save or spend.If I spent all of the money during the week, there were no more fast foodstops that week.The budget made me more mindful of my purchases.Instead of purchasing a large drink from Sonic,I would purchase a small.It was still satisfying but not nearly as pricey.Instead of eating a whole meal,I would pickthe partthat I actually wanted.Many days,the thought of hanging onto the money for a special purpose meant more to me than the instant satisfaction of fast food.I never really felt unhappy becauseit was a conscious choice to spend or save with each purchase.Envelope budget kept me honest.I had a clear idea how much money was spent each week on fast food purchases.I started to bring my lunches more often to save more money for the week. It was a fun challenge to see how much I could save every week.Changing the way I spent on fast food not only helped my budget,but improved my weight. In the first month I was able to get rid of5pounds by simply changing the way I approached spending on fast food.Now I am more likely to bring my lunch than to buy it.I am not upset,but empowered to make positive choices to improve my life.26.According to Paragraph1,the author______.A.had no time to cook for herselB.was fond of fast food very muchC.lived with a small amount of moneyD.got some benefits fromusing hercard27.We can infer from the last paragraph that______.A.envelope budgetis good forhealthB.the budget means a pressure on lifeC.itis unusual to make some changesD.it is hardto enjoy a healthy lifestyle28.What is the passage mainly about?A.Whythe author became addicted to fast food.B.Whythe author tookenvelope budget seriously.C.Howfast food controlled the author’s behavior.D.How envelope budget changed the author’s life.BBenefits of Cross-Country SkiingCross-country skiing can be enjoyed by a wide range of students,from the youngest kindergartners to those secondary students.It is really a fun activity,providing students a gentle workout outside in winter.While having fun,students can gain physical and mental benefits.The physical benefits of cross-country skiing are well known.If we look at Olympic cross-country skiers,we can see the positive effects on the body that result from training for cross-country skiing.The average best female cross-country skier carries11percent body fat,andbest male skiers carry5percent.These percentages are well below the average for people who are considered to be athletic-17percent for females and10percent for males.The high number of calories burned while skiing helps to keep skiers slim in a healthy and attractive way.Cross-country skiing is also an efficient way to exercise a large number of muscles at once. Because skiers use ski poles as a means of propulsion,the force that drives skiers forward,the upper body gets much more of workout.Of course,the leg muscles also do their fair share.People who use cross-country skiing as a workout over several weeks will discover that the muscles of their entire body increase in strength.Cross-country skiing on a regular basis has a tremendous effect on a person’s cardiovascular system.In addition to gaining strength in the muscles of the upper and lower body,people who use cross-country skiing as a workout method over several weeks will also discover that their heart is stronger.A strong heart pumps more efficiently,sending out more blood to the muscles with each contraction(收缩).Through weeks of skiing,people often discover that their resting heart rate has decreased.Highly trained Olympic cross-country skiers have resting heart rates between28and40beats per pare that to the resting heart rate of the average person, which is60to80beats per minute!The benefits of cross-country skiing extend beyond overall general health.A lot of evidence exists indicating that regular physical activity increases the release of mood-lifting endorphins(内啡肽)in the body.After one of the energetic and fun skiing lessons,students will be smiling and laughing;they will be relaxed and in a better mood than when they started class.Students will leave class with a sense of accomplishment,knowing that they have developed new skills in a fun activity.Cross-country skiing is a great way to work the total body.Now more and more students are taking part in this exercise outside during the winter months.They are enjoying it and benefiting from it!29.The underlined word“workout”means_______.A.mannerB.exerciseC.applicationD.opportunity30.According to the passage,we can learn that cross-country skiing______.A.requires the use of most muscle groupsB.offers students a unique way to keep fitC.can increase the athletes’resting heart ratesD.can balance out the skiers’increased calories31.How does the author prove the benefits of skiing in the fifth paragraph?A.By making comments.B.By giving examples.C.By making comparisons.D.By giving explanations.32．Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage?A BC DCP:Central point P:Point Sp:Sub-point(次要点)C:ConclusionCNothing is more tiresome than being stuck in a boring class.Every second takes ages to tick by.A recent survey of American kids revealed that91percent experience boredom.In fact, adolescence is considered a peak period for the problem.One study showed that roughly one in three teenagers was bored at school.Peter Stromberg,professor at the University of Tulsa says,“Our brains adapt really quickly to certain levels of stimulation(刺激).We get used to the media providing levels of highly emotional stimulation,and when we’re not getting them we feel bored.As our society develops various ways of keeping us entertained,we may discover that rather than getting rid of boredom,we’re multiplying it.”Luckily,new research is implying a way that we can battle the trend.Professor John D.Eastwood of the University of York developed a new theory of boredom, which links it to the brain’s attention system—the part of the brain that we use to focus.Anything the attention system in your brain locks onto will be automatically sucked up into your conscious awareness—it might be a bird outside the window,the pleasant smell of lunch,or even someone sleeping in the back of the class.The problem is that your attention system doesn’t like being told what to do.It wants to focus on stuff that you find fun and interesting.For the parts of school that you enjoy,this isn’t a problem.But for those classes that don’t interest you,or present too much or too little challenge, the story is very different.In those situations,you’re going to have to spend a lot of effort constantly redirecting your attention system to focus on things it would rather ignore.And the effort is going to wear you out.Eastwood describes it as“wanting,but being unable,to be involved in a satisfying activity.”It’s like a block in the system.And it’s the awareness of that block combined with a sense that the environment is to blame that leads to feelings of boredom.When we’re bored we blame the world around us,but Eastwood’s theory challenges this assumption:Boredom doesn’t exist out there;it exists inside your brain.What that means is—hard as it may be to hear—boring lessons aren’t only the fault of your teacher or the subject,they’re your fault too.33.According to Peter Stromberg,________.A.teenagers are victims of boredomB.our brains demand much stimulationC.we’ve grown dependent on media for funD.the way we have fun makes us become bored34.According to Paragraph4,the attention system________.A.doesn’t like challengesB.enjoys interesting thingsC.does what you want it to doD.can make our efforts fruitless35.What might the author suggest about a boring class?A.Focusing more attention on it.B.Changing the way we look at it.C.Employing various teaching methods.D.Challenging the disturbing environment.36.What might be the best title for the passage?A.Escape Your BoredomB.Battle Your AttentionC.Fun or Boredom?D.Who Is to Blame?第二节：阅读表达（共4小题；每小题2分，共8分）阅读下面短文和问题，根据短文内容和每小题后的具体要求，在答题卡和相应题号后的横线上写下相关信息。
