三、阅读理解(每小题 2 分，计 24 分)
A
Why do you think people who live in some hot countries eat very spicy(辛辣的)food?
Is it because the spices make the food taste better? Is it just because their parents
and grandparents and great-grandparents liked hot food，or is there some connection
between spices and healthy food? Researchers from Cornell University think that it
is because spice plants have some important chemicals. These chemicals can kill
bacteria(细菌)which spoil food．
“Most common spices can kill 75 to 100 percent of the bacteria in food，”explains
one of the scientists．The bacteria grow more easily and spoil(变质)food more quickly
at higher temperatures．For this reason，it is more difficult to keep food from
spoiling in hot climates，
Do you like your food spicy? Your answer probably tells something about the
country you come from．If you like spicy food，it is possible that hundreds of years
ago，when there were no fridges，people in your country started using spices to keep
the food from spoiling．The traditional spicy dishes helped those people to live
longer，healthier lives．Today，in a time of fridges，the spices just make the food
taste good．
( )1. The chemicals in spices keep food from spoiling by_________．
A．making food taste better B．making food hotter
C．preventing bacteria getting into food D．killing bacteria in food
( )2. Food goes bad more quickly in hot climates because_______．
A．cold temperature makes bacteria
B．bacteria get used to hot food
C．high temperature helps bacteria grow faster
D．bacteria spoil food only at high temperature
( )3. According to the passage，spices are useful in the following things
except_____．
A．helping you to live longer B．helping to keep you healthier
C．making your food taste better D．taking the place of fridges
B
Have you ever wanted to try on clothes without going to the trouble of getting undressed? If you have, here’s the device for you: the virtual(虚拟的) fitting room.
The technology, designed by Russian company AR Door, was first tried out in May.
When a customer walks into a “fitting” room, they’ll stand in front of a big screen
that looks like a mirror. A camera in the mirror, using Microsoft Kinect. monitors
a customer’s movement and projects a 3-D image of the clothes onto you while you
stand before a screen.
The room also uses augmented reality technology. “Augmented reality allows the
customers to choose an item of clothing without having to try it on physically,”
the company told the Daily Mail. A customer can spin around to see all angles(角
度) of the clothes, and can control the program by pushing virtual buttons.
AR Door is not the only company to be developing technology to help people with
the way they look. Japanese company Shiseido recently presented its Magic Mirror,
a virtual make-up mirror that allows people to get a full makeover in seconds.
However, the technology is not perfect. The clothes still seem to hang on the
surface of the body, rather than look like the customer is actually wearing them.
And people shopping for clothes are probably still better off actually trying them
on.
In the end, you won’t know how something really looks and feels.
( )4. The virtual fitting room is technology that_____________.
A. allows people to watch a movie while trying on clothes
B. can help people buy clothes on the Internet
C. can help people choose clothes without having to try them on
D. allows people to walk freely in the fitting room
( )5. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. The virtual fitting room was invented in Russia.
B. The virtual fitting room and the virtual make-up mirror both use the augmented
reality technology to help people with the way they look.
C. The customer can control the program by pushing virtual buttons.
D. The customer looks like he/she is actually wearing the clothes while using
this technology.
( )6. In the virtual fitting room, what is on the screen?
A. A computer B. A fitting room C. A camera D. A shop assistant
( )7. From the last paragraph, we can learn that____________.
A. few people shop for clothes in clothing stores
B. people still need to try on clothes before buying them
C. the magic mirror is now widely used D. the virtual fitting room is perfect
C
Feeling left out?
A reader wrote in to say that she was feeling lonely at break because her best
friend wasn’t around．Here’s our advice to her—and to all kids who feel lonely
sometimes．
It’s hard when a best friend isn’t around—maybe because she moved to a
different school or a different class ． You may feel lonely at break or lunchtime．You want to have new friends．but how do you make them? Maybe it seems
like everybody else already has their friends．But remember, there’s always room
for more friends. Start by looking around your classroom—think about which kids
you’d like to play with at break．Look for chances to say hi to them，smile，and
be friendly．Offer to share something or express your appreciation(欣赏)to them．Invite
someone to play with you or say “Do you want to sit here?” in the lunchroom．When
you’re at break，walk over to kids you want to play with．act friendly，and say
“Hi，can l play, too?” or just join in.If you have trouble doing this or if
you’re feeling shy, ask your teacher to help you make new friends．Teachers are
usually good at matching up friends．The best way to make friends is to be a
friend．Be kind，be friendly，share，say nice things，offer to help—and pretty
soon，you’ll have one，or two，or even more new friends.
You might still miss that special best friend ． But when you see each
other, you can share something you didn’t have before she left. You can introduce
her to your new friends!

We all dream about things that we would like to do and things we hope to achieve
in the future. But are everybody’s dreams the same? Here are some of the findings
of a survey about hopes and dreams, in which thousands of students across China took
part.
What are the hopes of teenagers? We received several different answers to the
question: what would you like to do after you finish your education? It seems some
students would like to start work as soon as they can, so that they can help offer
their parents better lives. Other students hope to go on studying after they finish
school and to go to university. Although money is important, many teenagers want
to do jobs they like. According to the survey, the most popular choice of job is
computer programming.
What are the dreams of teenagers? Teenagers have all kinds of dreams. Some are
more realistic (现实的) than others. For example, many students would like to be
volunteers if Beijing could hold the World Cup, maybe working as translators or tour
guides. And many students dream of having a trip to every corner of the world one
day.
According to the survey, less realistic dreams are also common, but many students
reported that they were willing to work hard to achieve their dreams. Quite a few
dreamed of becoming famous, perhaps famous sports people or singers. Some students
would like to go on exciting trips. One student would love to sail across the Pacific
Ocean. And then there are dreams that there are no possibility for students to achieve.
Three students would like to be able to fly.
It is clear from the survey that teenagers have similar hopes. It seems that most students hope to have a good education and find a good job. On the other hand,
students dream of very different things: good things, and even crazy things. It is
very important to dream, so hold on your dreams, one day they may just be realized.
