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。
A
Tipping isn’t a big part of British culture, unlike in North America, where waiters and waitresses are paid below minimum wage. Tips are usually appreciated, but offering a tip of some services can cause confusion.
In some restaurants, where you pay for your order at a counter but food is brought to your table, tipping is uncommon. You are welcome to leave a pound or two if you wish. In restaurants where you place your order with a waiter or a waitress and receive your food and bill at your table, it’s customary to tip around 10 percent. In some restaurants, a service charge may be added to the bill automatically (自动地), typically 10 or 12.5 percent. In this case, you don’t need to add a further tip. When you pay by credit card, the machine may ask whether you want to add a tip. Check your bill to
see if a service charge has already been added before paying --- if so you don’t need to add a tip on the machine. You can request the service charge to be removed from your bill if you are unhappy with the service. In some cases, a restaurant may print “service not included” on the bill or menu. This is a request for a tip. You’re not forced to offer anything, but 10 percent would be normal in this situation. Tipping in cafes and fast food restaurant is not expected.
If you use a taxi, round the fare up to the nearest pound shown on the meter. On a journey from or to the airport in a booked minicab, you might wish to tip 2 or 3 pounds if the driver helps with your bags.
Be sure to check a country’s tipping culture before you start your tip. For more information, visit TripAdvisor.com.
21. According to the text, ______ in British culture.
A. it is necessary to tip if you are served in cafes
B. it is confusing to tip if you receive your bill at your table
C. it is customary to tip if “service not included” is printed on the bill
D. it is a duty to tip even if the service is unsatisfying in some restaurants
22. When you pay by credit card, ______.
A. the service charge can be added on the machine
B. the service charge must have been included in the bill automatically
C. the service charge can’t be refused
D. the service charge needn’t to be checked before you pay

It was at her company’s annual picnic that my mother met my father, and he walked her home. The next week, from his home in Chicago, he sent her a post card: Remember me please. Do be calling you one of these days. --- David.
She still has that post card. I am not sure what made her keep it. Though he already had his heart set on her, she hadn’t chosen him yet, at least not consciously at first.
My father, a salesman for a big electronics company, often told us while we were growing up, it was blind luck that he was at the picnic that day. He was in town to meet with clients and happened to stop by the branch office that Saturday morning to make a call. It was the manager of a local radio station where my mother worked as a writer. “Dave! Glad you’re in town!” he said, and invited him to come right over to their annual picnic. Later my mother dated him when he was in town. Eventually, one night a few months later, she woke her mother and told her she was going to marry Dave. A few months after the wedding, my father was transferred east. They settled in New York, in the house where I grew up.
Sometimes I think how time gets us together and puts us in a certain place where we face one choice or another. We leave behind while others live by the choice we made. We could have lived
full of different passions and joys, different problems and disappointments. Sometimes, particularly when I came home late to a sleeping house, my husband and daughter curled (蜷缩) around each other. I think about the lives we would not have had if choices had brought us to a different place. And I am frightened at the thought that I might have missed this life, this man, this child, and this love.

In a study published in the U.S. journal Science, researchers from the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (CAAS) and the University of Florida identified the chemical combinations and genetic recipe for better tomato flavor (味道).
“In recent years, consumers (消费者) often complain that the modern tomato is less flavorful than it once was” said co-principal researcher Sanwen Huang. “Our results provide a practical road map for breeding tomato varieties with better flavor.”
For the study, a 170-person consumer group was created to evaluate 160 tomatoes representing 101 varieties, based on qualities such as “overall liking” and “flavor degree”. The results pointed to dozens of chemical compounds (化合物) of interest, and further research using a statistical model discovered 33 flavor compounds connected with consumer liking, such as glucose (葡萄糖). The reason why modern tomatoes don’t taste good anymore is that a total of 13 of these flavor-associated compounds “were significantly reduced in modern varieties,” their paper wrote. Moreover, the researchers found that smaller fruit tended to have greater sugar content, suggesting that “selection for more sizable tomatoes has cost sweetness and flavor”.
Based on this knowledge, Huang and Professor Harry Klee of the University of Florida studied the whole genomes (基因组) of 398 varieties of tomato, identifying about 250 positions of genes on a chromosome (染色体), which controlled tomato flavor.
“We’re just fixing what has been damaged over the last half century to push them back to where they were a century ago,” said Klee in a statement. “We can make the supermarket tomato taste noticeably better.” Klee said new tomato varieties with better flavor could be ready in three to
four years. In addition, “the genes and pathways identified here in the tomato almost certainly point to pathways worth researching for improvement of flavor quality in other fruit crops,” they wrote.
33. According to the text, the study ______.
A. was carried out just through a survey
B. was conducted by Chinese researchers themselves
C. was completely focused on the genes of different tomatoes
D. was done with the background of declining (下降的) flavor of tomatoes
34. The researchers have found that ______ in the study.
A. bigger tomatoes are much sweeter
B. some genetic positions affect the taste of tomatoes
C. some chemical compounds make tomatoes less tasty
D. a total of 13 flavor-associated compounds make tomatoes less sweet in taste
35. What is the influence of the study according to the text?
A. The study lays the foundation for further researches to improve other fruit crops’ flavor.
B. The study makes it possible for us to have noticeably more tasty tomatoes next year.
C. The study provides a road for where to plant tomatoes with better flavor.
D. The study has fixed all the genes of existing tomatoes.

It is generally believed that money can’t buy happiness. However, that may not be always true. According to a recent article, in the last few years, a new research has given us a far deeper understanding of the relationship between what we earn and how we feel. Generally speaking, people with higher incomes are happier than those who struggle to get by. But it also shows you need to spend wisely if you expect those bank notes to put a smile on your face. 36
1. Buy experiences, not material goods.
In a recently published study. Professor Ryan at San Francisco State University in the US, found that when people don’t have much money to spare, they tend to stick to material goods. 37 But they in fact provide both more happiness and more lasting value.
2. 38
No matter how much money you spend on something and how special that product is, you will get used to having it over time and lose interest in it. With the same money you spend on one big thing, you can buy many little things. Buying small things means you can get frequent small pleasures.
3. Be sure to buy time.
39 For example, that big house in the suburbs may seem like a good idea, but a 2014 study by researchers from University of Zurich in Switzerland found that people with longer time on the way had lower life satisfaction, all other things being equal.
4. Try giving it away.
Elizabeth Dunn, a professor at the University of British Columbia in Canada, found that in nations as diverse (多样化) as Canada, South Africa and Uganda, giving away money consistently made people happier. 40
A. Be sure to buy what you like.
B. Here are some ways to better spend your money.
C. Buy lots of little things, rather than one big thing.
D. There are a lot of reasons someone might buy something.
E. People think experiences only provide temporary happiness.
F. This was even true when people giving away were relatively poor.
G. Consider how the things you buy will affect how you spend your time.

Honey from the African forest is not only a kind of natural sugar, it is also delicious.
Most people, and many animals, like eating it. However, the only way for them 61 (get) that honey is to find a wild bees’ nest and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and

The honey guide does not actually like honey, 65 it does like the wax (蜡) in the beehives (蜂房). The little bird cannot reach this wax, 66 is deep inside the bees’ nest. So, when it finds a
67 (suit) nest, it needs someone to help. The honey guide gives a loud cry to attract the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, 68 (wait) from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest. When they finally arrive at the nest, the follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird 69 (patient) waits and watches.

I often go to a weekend school. So do much of my classmates. This is very popular at the present. Good weekend schools have excellent teachers which can help us improve our studies. In addition, we can get to know some students from another school and make friends with they.
But every coin have two sides. Extra lessons from weekend schools often needed a lot of time and this may affect their school subjects. We usually find ourselves very tired on Mondays to study in our own school.
So I think we should consider this problem serious and make good use our time.

Dear Mr. Li,
Long time no see. I'm Li Hua. I miss you very much. I know that you are teaching Chinese in American Confucius Institute. How are you going this period? Have you adapted to American-style life? I’m sure you must be popular with students there.
I never forget the days when you taught me in my classroom, because it was really sweet. I have benefited from the advice that you gave me on improving English. I have been working hard and got an ‘A’ in the last English exam. Without you, I couldn’t have made such great progress.
I want to know something about American students’ life and study. Can you tell me some if possible? I'm looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
