It helped lock nutrient dense.（3）From the fourth paragraph we can know quinoa .A . is rich in proteinB . includes much fiberC . has less sharp flavorD . can be served quickly18. 阅读理解A characteristic of American culture that has become almost a tradition is to respect the self-made man--the man who has risen to the top through his own efforts, usually beginning by working with his hands. While the leader in business or industry or the college professor occupies a higher social position and commands greater respect in the community than the common laborer or even the skilled factory worker, he may take pains to point out that his father started life in America as a farmer or laborer of some sort.This attitude toward manual labor is now still seen in many aspects of American life. One is invited to dinner at a home that is not only comfortably but even luxuriously furnished and in which there is every evidence of the fact that the family has been able to afford foreign travel, expensive hobbies, and college education for the children; yet the hostess probably will cook the dinner herself, will serve it herself and will wash dishes afterward, furthermore the dinner will not consist merely of something quickly and easily assembled from contents of various cans and a cake or a pie bought at the near- by bakery. On the contrary, the hostess usually takes pride in careful preparation of special dishes. A professional man may talk about washing the car, digging inhis flowerbeds, painting the house. His wife may even help with these things, just as he often helps her with the dishwashing. The son who is away at college may wait on table and wash dishes for his living, or during the summer he may work with a construction gang on a highway in order to pay for his education.（1）From Paragraph 1 , we can know that in America, .A . people tend to have a high opinion of the self--made manB . people can always rise to the top through their own effortsC . college professors win great respect from common workersD . people feel painful to mention their fathers as laborers（2）According to the passage, the hostess cooks dinner herself mainly because .A . servants in America are hard to getB . she takes pride in what she can do herselfC . she can hardly afford servantsD . it is easy to prepare a meal with canned food（3）The expression “wait on table” in the second paragraph means .A . work in a furniture shopB . keep accounts for a barC . wait to lay the tableD . serve customers in a restaurant（4）Which of the following may serve as the best title of the passage?A . A Respectable Self--made FamilyB . American Attitude toward Manual LaborC . Characteristics of American CultureD . The Development of Manual Labor19. 阅读理解It is commonly believed that all over the world,boys and girls attend amixed school,where they study together. But boys’ schools are the perfect place to teach young men to express their emotions and involve them in activities such as arty,dance and music.Always boys at single-sex schools were said to be more likely to get involved in cultural and artistic activities that helped develop their emotional expressiveness,rather than feeling they had to correspond to（和…相符）the “boy code” of hiding their emotions to be a “real man”.Surprisingly,the findings of the study go against received wisdom that boys do better when taught alongside girls.George Car,headmaster of Eton,warned that boys were being failed by the British education system because it had become too focused on girls.He criticized teachers for failing to recognize that boys are actually more emotional than girls.The research argued that boys often perform badly in mixed schools because they become discouraged when girls do better earlier in speaking and reading skills.But in single-sex schools teachers can adjust lessons to boys’ learning style,letting them move around the classroom and getting them to compete in teams to prevent boredom,wrote the study’s author,Abigail James,of the University of Virginia.Teachers could encourage boys to enjoy reading and writing with “boy-focused” approaches such as themes and characters that appeal to them.Because boys generally have more acute vision,learn best throughtouch,and are physically more active,they need to be given”‘hands-on” lessons where they are allowed to walk around.”Boys in mixed schools view classical music as feminine（女性的）and prefer the modem genre（类型）in which violence and sexism are major themes,”James wrote.Single-sex education also made it less likely that boys would feel that they had to be “masterful and in charge” in relationships.”In mixed schools,boys feel forced to act like men before they understand themselves well enough to know what that means,”the study reported.（1）The writer argues that a single-sex school would .A . force boys to he their emotions to be “real men”B . help boys to be more competitive in schoolsC . encourage boys to express their emotions more freelyD . naturally strengthen boys’ traditional image of a man （2）Traditionally,in a mixed school boys .A . receive a better educationB . behave more responsiblyC . grow up more healthilyD . perform relatively better（3）In Abigail James’ opinion,one of the advantages of single-sex schools is .A . boys can choose to learn whatever they are interested inB . teaching can be adjusted to suiting the characteristics of boysC . boys can focus on their lessons without being distractedD . teaching can be designed to promote boys’ team spirit四、七选五20. 任务型阅读There is an old Spanish Proverb which states,”Tomorrow is often the busiest day of the week”.________.I’d say,too many.Our dreams.should not,and cannot wait.We have to go for them now!Here’s why.1).________．Nobody likes to talk about death,but the reality is—everybody is going to die at one point.None of us know the day,or the hour.Therefore,today is all we have.Don’t go to your grave with unfulfilled dreams.Make the decision to go after every dream,big or small right now.2). The world is waiting for your gift.I know this may be hard to believe, but the world is waiting for YOU!Yes, YOU!________Sure, other people may be able to sing.But they’ll never be able to sing, exactly like you. Sure other people can write,but they’ll never be able to write from the same perspective in which you write.Thus,it is your responsibility to figure out exactly what your gift is,and use it to better your life and the lives of those around you.3).________You can dream about writing the great American play that you want, but it’s never going to happen unless you actually put pen to paper.You can dream about finding a cure for cancer,but it will never happen unless you actually go to school to become equipped with the necessary tools to find that cure.________They require you to get your head out of the clouds, and actually do the work to make the happen.Get to it!A.You can’t let fear win.B.Tomorrow is not promised.C.In other words, dreams don’t work unless you do.D.How many times have we put off our dreams until tomorrow?E.You were born into the world with a unique gift, which nobody on this earth can copy.F.Everyone has a dream.G.Unless you take the first step, your dreams will.never come true.五、短文填空21. 语法填空Chuck Wall teaches management and human relations at Bakersfield College.He walked into class one day and told his students that their homework was to perform________simple and random act of kindness.Not________ the homework,the students didn’t know what to do.Chuck didn’t answer their questions.Instead,he encouraged his students to work it out by themselves.One week later the students entered.the classroom and began sharing their stories________.One reported on helping a poor dog abandoned by its owner.Another student told others about giving blankets________to the homeless.
