Times are a little tough at our house right now. Neither of us makes a lot of money, but years of experience have taught us how to walk between the raindrops and make it from one month to the next with a fair amount of grace. I cook a lot at home, more when we’re facing difficult times. When I know that I have to keep us fed on not much money, I fall back on my grandmother’s recipes. She taught me to cook.
When I was a kid, my twin brother and I spent long summer weeks and Christmas vacations with my mother’s parents in the mountains of North Carolina. Rather than go hunting with my grandfather on mornings, I found myself more and more in the kitchen with my grandmother, watching her making a lemon cheese pie with her soft hands.
My great-grandmother died when my grandmother was 11 years old. As the eldest daughter, she was expected to take on all of the housework while attending school. Throughout the Great Depression, she learned how to make a little food go a long way. Vegetables were cheap, so she cooked a lot of them, mostly only using small amounts of meat for seasoning. Roast beef was a twice-a-month luxury, but there was nothing she couldn’t do with a chicken, every part of it. Nothing went to waste.
Now I understand that her food was sacred (神圣的). I feel connected to my grandmother and to hundreds of years of family when I’m in my kitchen making country food. In the delicious smells is a long tale of victory over hard times, of conquering starvation — of not just surviving, but finding joy and pleasure in every meal of every day.
From grandmother I learned to take real satisfaction in feeding people. My grandmother would beam with pleasure over a heavily laden table and say: “Do you know what this would cost at the restaurant?” I never knew what restaurant in particular she had in mind, but I knew that the question was totally not fair, because no restaurant anywhere can cook like a grandmother. But now, thanks to her guidance and years of practice, I can.
24. According to the passage, the author cooks a lot at home because _______.
A. she wants to try out her grandmother’s recipes B. she is quite particular about food
C. the food in restaurants is unhealthy D. she and her husband are embarrassed financially
25. According to the passage, the author’s grandmother _______.
A. learnt to cook because of the Great Depression
B. was good at cooking as well as careful in budgeting
C. preferred chicken to beef
D. had to walk a long way to learn cooking in a restaurant
26. It can be inferred from the passage that the author _______.
A. liked to compare her grandmother’s food with that in restaurants
B. learnt something more precious than cooking from her grandmother
C. hasn’t found the joy in cooking though she can cook like her grandmother
D. feels connected to her grandmother when making country food in the kitchen
27. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A. Cook like my grandmother B. My grandmother’s sacred food
C. My grandmother’s recipe D. Joy and pleasure in cooking
C
It sounds like something straight out of a horror movie, but a zombie(僵尸)-like disease is taking a loss on deer populations across the country. Chronic wasting disease (CWD), also known as “zombie deer disease”, was first observed in deer populations during the 1960s, and now in some areas, the disease has infected 25 percent of the local deer population—and those figures are as 79 percent in highly-infected areas, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It has been reported in 25 states and two Canadian provinces.
The disease causes the brains of infected animal—including deer, elk, caribou, and moose—to gradually deteriorate. In the end, the animals can almost seem like zombies, with symptoms like drooling, aggression, extreme weight loss, stumbling, and tremors. The condition is always fatal and there is no treatment.
Scientist can’t explain exactly how CWD spreads, though they believe animals can become infected through polluted liquids and foods, and/or through bodily fluids. It’s estimated that North American residents eat around 7,000-15,000 chronic wasting disease-ridden animals every year, according to the Alliance for Public Wildlife. And now some experts are wondering if it could spread to humans.
While there are currently no known cases of CWD in humans, a study conducted by the Alberta Prion Research Institute recently discovered that the disease can be spread to monkeys who’ve eaten infected deer meat. The primates chosen for the study were selected for their genetic similarity to humans. “The assumption was for the longest time that chronic wasting disease was not a threat to human health,” Stefanie Czub, the lead researcher of the study told The Tyee. “But with the new data, it seems we need to revisit this view to some degree.”
28. What do we know about CWD from the first paragraph?
A. It comes out of a horror movie. B. It has infected all the local deer.
C. It is reducing deer populations. D. It was first observed in Canada.
29. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “deteriorate” in paragraph 2?
A. Worsen. B. Grow. C. Practise. D. Adapt
30. How does CWD possibly spread?
A. Through drinking water. B. Through bodily fluids.
C. Through other wildlife. D. Through human’s foods.
31. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Monkeys love eating infected deer meat. B. Primates share the same gene with humans.
C. CWD is not a threat to human health at all. D. Humans may still be in danger of CWD.
D
Is any economist so dull as to criticize Christmas? At first glance, the holiday season in western economies seems a treat for those concerned with such vagaries (奇想) as GDP growth. After all, everyone is spending; in America, retailers make 25% of their yearly sales and 60% of their profits between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Even so, economists find something to worry about in the nature of the purchases being made.
Much of the holiday spending is on gifts for others. At the simplest level, giving gifts involves the giver thinking of something that the recipient(接受者) would like — he tries to guess her preferences, as economists say — and then buying the gift and delivering it. Yet this guessing of preferences is not easy; indeed, it is often done badly. Every year, ties go unworn and books unread. And even if a gift is enjoyed, it may not be what the recipient would have bought if they had spent the money themselves.
Interested in this mismatch between wants and gifts, in 1993 Joel Waldfogel, then an economist at Yale University, sought to estimate the difference in dollar terms. In a research, he asked students two questions at the end of a holiday season: first, estimate the total amount paid (by the givers) for all the holiday gifts you received; second, apart from the sentimental value of the items, if you did not have them, how much would you be willing to pay to get them? His results were gloomy: on average, a gift was valued by the recipient well below the price paid by the giver.
In addition, recipients may not know their own preferences very well. Some of the best gifts, after all, are unexpected items that you would never have thought of buying, but which turn out to be especially well picked. And preference can change. So by giving a jazz CD, for example, the giver may be encouraging the recipient to enjoy something that was ignored before. This, a desire to build skills, is possibly the hope held by many parents who ignore their children’s desires for video games
and buy them books instead.
Finally, there are items that a recipient would like to receive but not purchase. If someone else buys them, however, they can be enjoyed guilt-free. This might explain the high volume of chocolate that changes over the holidays. Thus, the lesson for gift-givers is that you should try hard to guess the preference of each person on your list and then choose a gift that will have a high sentimental value.
32. The word “sentimental” in Paragraph 3 is close to “.”
A. intelligent B. emotional C. social D. practical
33. According to the text, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Price is nothing but the factor when you give gifts.
B. Chocolates will be blamed when people receive them as gifts.
C. The receivers often overestimate the values of gifts.
D. Wants do not always correspond to needs in gift-giving.
34. Which of the following statements can be inferred from the text?
A. The gift-giver tries to ignore the actual needs of the receiver.
B. The best gifts are well picked by the givers.
C. In gift-giving, guessing preference is often a failure, so it’s the thought that counts.
D. You have to take money into consideration when giving a gift.
35. The text is most likely taken from a ______.
A. users’ handbook B. medical journal C. travel magazine D. consumer-related report

The jobs of the future have not yet been invented. 36 By helping them develop classic skills that will serve them well no matter what the future holds.

英语考试答案
Keys:
(Text 1)
M: Let me see your ticket. Umm … This ticket is for Oxford.
W: Yes, that’s right.
M: But this train doesn’t go to Oxford. It goes to Liverpool.
W: Oh no! Then I’ll have to get off and change at London.
(Text 2)
W: Hi, Luke. Pad and I are going to watch the tennis game this evening. Do you want to come?
M: Great! I know Thomas really enjoys watching tennis. Can he join us?
W: Well, I’m afraid I don’t have an extra ticket for him.
(Text 3)
M: Mum, have you seen my school bag?
W: It’s hanging up here, with the coats. I moved it because it was on the kitchen table. Tom, remember to leave it in the living room when you come home from school. Then it won’t be in my way.
(Text 4)
M: I haven’t seen Linda Rivera for a long time. Has she been away on a holiday?
W: Oh, you haven’t heard. She set up her own travel agency.
(Text 5)
W: I can’t believe how hot it is here today.
M: If you think this is bad, you should have been here last week.
(Text 6)
W: Have you chosen the music for the party yet?
M: I was going to just let people bring their own.
W: Oh, I don’t think you should do that. One person needs to be in charge otherwise people will start disagreeing. Sonia’s really good at music. You could ask her.
M: OK, have you got her number?
W: Yeah, it’s on my mobile. I’ll text it to you.
(Text 7)
M: Tracey, I want some new shoes for the party tonight. Shall we go and buy some later?
W: OK, but I promised to help my granddad wash his car today.
M: Why don’t you do that immediately? We’ll go as soon as you’re finished.
W: OK. And I suppose I can do my homework when we get back. I’m surely doing that before we go to the party — I don’t want to do it tomorrow!
M: Yeah, I don’t like doing it till the last day of the weekend, either. So I finished all my homework after school yesterday.
(Text 8)
M: That was a cool exhibition.
W: I knew you’d like it! I believe it’ll help us with our school cloth project. I’ve got lots of ideas now.
M: I was really interested in the designer wear section. It’s totally special.
W: Yes, it’d be great to wear something so special. But what impressed me most was the part that showed you how to recycle clothes.
M: Yeah, but I can’t see myself wearing any of my dad’s old things just now! I didn’t expect the show to be so interesting.
W: I enjoyed seeing the live models, though I’m not sure whether it lived up to my expectations.
(Text 9)
M: Veronique, when you are not studying, what do you like to do?
W: I like listening to music by French singers. Go into any French music store, and you’ll find the top 10 albums by US, German and English artists. It’s good to have variety, but I love French music.
M: Do French teens like fast food, you know, hamburgers, chips, and things like those?
W: Well, we don’t really like that. We usually have quick breakfast, sandwiches at lunch and a family dinner at around 8 to 8:30 in the evening. The younger teenagers like to eat hamburgers at McDonald’s.
M: Paris is well known for popular clothes, so I’m sure it offers French teens the most up-to-date clothes to choose from.
W: Exactly. I like to wear clothes by Agnes B, a popular French designer. I think Agnes B clothes are kind of classic, but they can also be very lovely. One of my favorites is a silver jacket because it
came from one of the shows and most importantly there is no other like it.
(Text 10)
W: Welcome everybody to this Cititours bus. I hope you’re having a good time here in the West of England. Our tours usually last about one hour.
The bus is now turning into Queens Road. From this road we can see a very modern building. This is the town’s new sports stadium. All the big matches happen there but at the moment, an international company is using it for a conference.
Now look to your left. We’re now passing the City Theatre. This building is one hundred years old. It’s very pretty, as you see, but it doesn’t have enough seats for big shows. We’ve got a new entertainment centre in Victoria Park. We don’t pass it on the bus, but you may be interested to know it’s got a cinema and a concert hall. Most people prefer it because it’s got air-conditioning. Now, on your right, is the High Street. This Cititours bus normally goes along the High Street into the Market Place. But at the moment some musicians are practicing for an outdoor concert there. We’re driving round a different route because the roads into the Market Place are closed. The market was an important local trade centre until about 1970. Farmers bought and sold their cows and sheep there. However, we don’t see animals in the city centre these days. The market area’s got some good shops. Why don’t you have a walk round there later on?

Dear Terry,
Hi! My name is Li Hua, a Chinese middle school student. I learned from your post that you want to find a Chinese tutor and you can teach English in return. I am quite interested in it.
I think I’m fit for it. Firstly, Chinese is my mother tongue, and speaking it is a must for me to communicate with others in my daily life. Secondly, I tutored foreigners to learn Chinese last year. So I’ m quite confident that I can help you master the language.
In your post, you said you can help me with my English. It is just what I eagerly want. We can contact each other by video chat every night for half an hour in English and half an hour in Chinese. In this way, we can improve ourselves together.
I’m looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
