2．（8 分）We didn't expect to see her again so soon： After a tearless farewell with my daughter， we
left her new dorm room but then in the campus we saw her jogging against the August heat． I quickly
rolled down the car window and Sarina didn't miss a step as she turned， nodded at us and waved
goodbye． I was in disbelief why the tears hadn't come when we parted on her first day in university．
Our first separation， the day she left my body， was a nightmare of pain and suffering． While
all births are amazing， not all women feel amazed about the births． However， our togetherness in
the days and months that followed was so sweet that I felt her small body still seemed to be attached to
mine． In the years to come， the sound of her feet running across the wooden floors of our house was
like the gentle pounding that reminded me my little girl was here and that someday she would run to
the paths I couldn't follow．
Last year Sarina turned 16 and decided to pursue art in college． She was in excitement about college
life with so much to expect but I was uneasy because it would be a long plane ride away from home． I
tried to imagine what separation would be like， but I couldn't．
Separation， although on the borazon， still felt distant， That's why it wasn't until the next 第 3 页（共 11 页）
morning when I awoke in a house absent of her footsteps that the tears finally came ﹣and wouldn't
stop． I understood that Sarina had left the house， and I held onto the memory of her running． When
the tears stopped， I was relieved that her body knew what it needed on separation day， and that with
our love and support， she had the courage to run into an unfamiliar distance， to glance back， yet
to keep moving forward．

3．（8 分）Food experts say washing could spread the germs on your turkey in the kitchen sink or nearby
food． But it's been a challenge trying to convince cooks to stop rinsing（冲洗） off raw poultry（家
禽）． Germs that can make people sick are common in the guts of healthy poultry and are legally
allowed to be on raw turkey and chicken． The assumption is that nobody eats their poultry raw， and 第 4 页（共 11 页）
that thorough cooking will kill the bacteria．
The do﹣not﹣wash raw poultry advice from the USDA is relatively new and perhaps hasn't caught
on because it goes against the common belief that washing makes things clean， said Chapman：
Benjamin Chapman， a study author and food safety expert at North Carolina State University， said
the instinct to wash raw poultry goes back at least decades when people relied more on visual clues to
spot problems with poultry． Meanwhile， washing hands and surfaces are also important．
But food preparation is a complicated act， and germs from poultry can be spread even if it's not
washed， especially when birds are removed from packaging．
The USDA﹣funded study stresses that point． Researchers sprayed raw chicken with a harmless
strain of E． coil （大肠杆菌） and watched volunteer cooks at test kitchens． Among those who
washed their row chicken， about a quarter ended up spreading the bacteria to their lettuce． But even
some of those who did not rinse the chicken got germs on the lettuce ． And there are other
opportunities for germs to survive on turkeys： melting and cooking．
To ensure a bird is thoroughly cooked， they say to use a thermometer to check that the deepest and
thickest parts of it have reached 165 degrees． Even after the meal is cooked， you aren't out of the
danger zone． To keep turkeys and other leftovers safe， experts say they should be refrigerated after
two hours．
（1）People don't accept USDA's advice because ．
A． the advice is relatively new
B． cleaning with water seems more trustworthy
C． cooks clean the turkey before cooking it
D． heat can kill most germs and no one eats raw food
（2）What can be concluded from Paragraph 4？
A． Food packages carry germs．
B． Hands and surfaces are easy to get E． coil．
C． Whether it is washed or not， germs from a turkey can be spread．
D． Multiple methods should be applied to food to get rid of germs．
（3）Which way may help to cook a turkey safely？
A． Rinse off the turkey before it is beated．第 5 页（共 11 页）
B． Keep the turkey away from the lettuce and refrigerator．
C． Wash hands and packages before taking out the turkey．
D． Use a thermometer to check the temperature of the turkey．
（4）From which section of a magazine is the text probably taken？
A． Culture．
B． Science．
C． Education．
D． Medicine．
4．（8 分）A simple， yet powerful UK program has been fighting elderly loneliness by recruiting young
adults as volunteers to read to seniors with vision problems and mental diseases．
Lily has benefited from the program having her vision "restored" by 15﹣year﹣old Amy， a school
girl who was paired with Lily through the Reading Friends project ． Lily was a librarian and
enthusiastic reader who would read "two to three books every week"． After developing a terrible
disease， however， Lily found herself unable to read or watch television for any length of time
without her eyes hurting． Not only have Lily's regular reading sessions with Amy helped to reconnect
her with her passion for literature， they have also built a song inter﹣generational friendship between
the two ladies． "I chose a book and she would come along and read it to me，" Lily said． "But we have
only got through two books so far because we end up catting too much． We have read two historical
novels and get on very well．" Research shows that reading together can help older people to build
social networks and connect with others． Evidence also shows that reading has a positive impact on
the elderly's will﹣being and can reduce the risk of developing mental diseases．
Rose， a teacher， is responsible for connecting school children like Amy with the program﹣and
she says that it has had an amazing impact on the youngsters． "We have wonderful young people at
our school and we wanted to get then into the community，" Rose said． "It has been fantastic to see
them blossom as well as improving their literacy and social skills． They are meeting community
members like Lily that they are making friendships with and library staff can help them， not only
with education but outside as well．"
（1）What is the main responsibility of volunteers according to the passage？
A． Read books to seniors．第 6 页（共 11 页）
B． Have a chat with seniors．
C． Fight diseases for seniors．
D． Make friends with seniors．
（2）What can we learn from Lily's reading sessions with Amy？
A． They benefit Lily a lot by restoring her vision．
B． They help Amy pick up her love for literature．
C． They help Lily volunteer in the reading project．
D． They build up the friendship between two ladies．
（3）How does the program mostly benefit the elders？
A． By reducing elderly loneliness．
B． By curing the elders of vision problems．
C． By improving their literacy and social skills．
D． By enabling them to read books for a long time．
（4）What does the underlined word "recruiting" in paragraph one mean？

C． separating
D． promoting

My uncle set up a small business in our city four years ago． He is known as using iron from old cars to
make beautifully art pieces． Last summer vacation， I visit him and he showed to me many of his
works． Some are larger pieces looked like animals and humans， and others are smaller pieces you
can put at home． He often encourages me to be creative like himself． The art tells people the

life with little creativity．
