13．Garlic
Garlic，a common seasoning found in many different types of food，has a long medical and mythical history．References to garlic （25）are found（find） in Chinese texts that are dated as far back as 3000BC．The physician Hippocrates used garlic in ancient Greece （26）to treat（treat） infections and physical disorders．In many parts of ancient world，garlic was thought to avoid unfriendly spirits，treat wounds （27）as well as protect against disease．
Roman soldiers believed that garlic brought them courage and energy．They took it with them when they went into battle．Egyptians fed garlic to their servants when they built pyramids．They thought that it gave the workers strength．They also believed that garlic had magical and medicinal powers in the Middle Ages，people thought that garlic prevented the plague（瘟疫）．
People have praised the virtues of garlic for centuries．Garlic's popularity began to decline in the early years of the twentieth century，but its reputation （28）has been restored（restore） in recent years．It is now a valuable cash crop in the state of California．Nearly a half-billion pounds of garlic are produced there each year．The city of Gilroy，California，considers （29）itself the garlic capital of the world．Each year，the city hosts the Gilroy Garlic Festival in honor of the crop．
Some doctors are studying garlic's effects as a defense （30）against some forms of cancer．Others are exploring its possibilities for treating arthritis．Garlic has also received praise for its ability to lower high levels of cholesterol（膽固醇）．
（31）Although/Though some of the medicinal benefits of garlic have yet to be proven，it is certain（32）that many people enjoy the flavour that it adds to food．

分析 本文講述了大蒜的用途．大蒜是一種很普遍的調(diào)味品，對大蒜的說明可以追溯到公元前3000年前，古希臘的神醫(yī)用大蒜來治療感染和物理障礙，古代很多國家認為大蒜能躲避不友好的精神，醫(yī)療傷口以及防御疾病，古羅馬戰(zhàn)士認為大蒜能帶給他們勇氣和精力，中世紀時人們認為大蒜可以阻止瘟疫．二十世紀早期大蒜的流行程度有些下降，但近幾年大蒜的聲望有得到了復原．如今在加利福尼亞大蒜是一種很有價值的經(jīng)濟作物，加利福尼亞的城市Gilroy還把自己稱為"大蒜之都"．醫(yī)生有研究表明，大蒜可以抗癌，還可以降低膽固醇．盡管大蒜的一些醫(yī)療用途還沒被證實，但有一點是確定的，就是人們喜歡它給食物帶來的香味．

解答 25．a(chǎn)re found；考查動詞時態(tài)，句子的主語References to garlic 和動詞find是被動關(guān)系，所以這里要用被動語態(tài)．
26．to treat；考查動詞不定式，根據(jù)上下文，此處用動詞的不定式表示目的．   
27．a(chǎn)s well as；考查短語搭配，根據(jù)句意"大蒜被認為能夠避免不友好的精神，醫(yī)療傷口以及防御疾病"，可知空格處可以用 as well as 表示成分的并列．    
28．has been restored；考查動詞時態(tài)，結(jié)合上下文句意，并根據(jù)句子中的時間狀語in recent years可知，空格處應(yīng)該用現(xiàn)在完成時．
29．itself； 考查反身代詞，結(jié)合上下文，空格處所指代的是句子的主語 The city of Gilroy，所以用反身代詞itself，意為"加利福尼亞州城市Gilroy認為自己是世界上的'大蒜之都'"．   
30．a(chǎn)gainst； 考查介詞，這是一個習慣用法，動詞defend常與against連用，構(gòu)成動詞短語defend against，意為"防衛(wèi)，保衛(wèi)，抵抗"，所以其名詞形式defence后面也要 跟介詞against．
31．Although/Though；考查連詞，結(jié)合上文內(nèi)容分析句子，這是一個讓步狀語從句，意為"盡管大蒜的一些醫(yī)療用途還沒被證實，但有一點是確定的，就是人們喜歡它給 帶來的香味"，所以空格處用Although/Though表示
32．that；考查關(guān)系代詞，這里關(guān)系代詞that引導主語從句，句中it作形式主語，真正的主語是that從句．

點評 首先要通讀全文，了解大意，抓住上下文語境所提供的信息，仔細分析帶空格的句子，明確空格所要填的詞義，詞型和短語搭配給出所要填的正確形式，然后整體閱讀短文，核對答案

4．Located in northern Manitoba on the west side of Hudson Bay，Churchill is out in the middle of nowhere．But polar bears like it that way．They spend summers on the tundra （苔原） around Churchill．In the fall，they wait anxiously along the shore of Hudson Bay for the ice to form．Then they go out onto the frozen sea to hunt ringed seals--their favorite food．October and November are the best polar-bear viewing times．From tundra vehicles，visitors to Churchill observe the bears．Some enjoy day trips or stay overnight on large tundra vehicles that have private cabins and eating facilities．Others stay at a wilderness lodge on the bears'migration route to view the vigorous creatures．These lodges can be reached only by air and feature luxury food and living arrangements．
Despite the large number of polar bears that visit Churchill each year，there is growing concern about the animals'future．Because the earth is getting warmer，the ice forms later in the year now and disappears sooner in the spring．As a result，polar bears have less time to hunt for seals．Polar bears can also find smaller animals，bird eggs and berries on land，but this kind of food is not sufficient to support the animals．

8．Researchers continue to show the power behind our sense of smell．Recent studies have found，among other things，that the smell of foods like pizza can cause uncontrollable anger in drivers on roads．
The review explains that smell is unique in its effects on the brain．According to Conrad King，the researcher who carried out the review，"more than any other senses，the sense of smell goes through the logical part of the brain and acts on the systems concerned with feelings．This is why the smell of baking bread can destroy the best intentions of a dieter．"
Smell，which dictates the unbelievable complexity of food tastes，has always been the least understood of our senses．Our noses are able to detect up to 10，000distinct smells．Our ability to smell and taste this extremely large range of smells is controlled by something like 1，000genes （基因），which make up an amazing 3% of the human genome．Researchers Richard Axel and Linda Buck were together awarded a Nobel Prize in 2004for their ground-breaking research on the nature of this extraordinary sense．These two scientists were the first to describe the family of 1，000olfactory （嗅覺） genes and to explain how our olfactory system works．
According to one study in the research review，smelling fresh pizza or even the packaging of fast foods can be enough to make drivers feel impatient with other road users．They are then more likely to speed and experience uncontrollable anger on roads．The most reasonable explanation is that these can all make drivers feel hungry，and therefore desperate to satisfy their appetites．
In contrast，the smells of peppermint and cinnamon were shown to improve concentration levels as well as reduce drivers'impatience．Similarly，the smells of lemon and coffee appeared to promote clear thinking and mental focus．
However，the way genes regulate smell differs from person to person．A study by researchers in Israel has identified at least 50olfactory genes which are switched on in some people and not in others．They believe this may explain why some of us love some smells and tastes while others hate them．The Israel researchers say their study shows that nearly every human being shows a different pattern of active and inactive smell-detecting receptors．

63．What did Richard Axel and Linda Buck find out？C
A．The category of food smells．
B．The logical part of human brain．
C．The nature of human olfactory system．
D．The relationship between food and feelings．
64．Which of the following can help people concentrate？C
A．Bread．  B．Fruits．  C．Coffee．  D．Fast food．
65．What do we know from the last paragraph？C
A．Some people can recognize up to 50smells．
B．Every person has a different pattern of genes．
C．Different people are sensitive to different smells．
D．There are still some olfactory genes to be found out．
66．What is the passage mainly about？B
A．Logic and behaviour．
B．Smell and its influence．
C．Sense ability and food tastes．
D．Olfactory genes and its system．

18．As the proverb goes，man struggles upwards； water flows downwards．Water runs downhill from mountaintops to streams，to rivers and to oceans．But downhill isn't the only way that water moves．A new study measures how water travels from country to country for human consumption．This flow isn't the type we usually think about．These scientists looked at the water used to grow and make the products which get shipped from nation to nation as imports or exports．They call this a flow of"virtual water"．
We typically think about water as the liquid that flows from a tap．However，92%of the water used by people goes into growing crops，according to a water researcher Arjen Hoekstra．He recently studied the hidden travels of virtual water used in products made from things like crops and meats．These products are shipped around the world．
For example，consider a sugary soft drink．Hoekstra estimated that to produce one half-liter of the drink requires between 170and 310liters of water-about 95% is used to grow and process the ingredients（原料）．Another 4% goes into the packaging and labeling．In Hoekstra's calculation，when one country produces a half-liter of soda and sells it abroad，it exports as much virtual water as would fill a large refrigerator．
According to Hoekstra's new report，dry countries like Israel and Kuwait，both in the Middle East，get the majority of their virtual water from other countries，through imported products．More surprisingly，some wetter countries，like the Netherlands and the United Kingdom，also get the majority of their virtual water from other places．That means that most of the water used to grow or produce the products and food consumed in those countries came from other countries．

25．The proverb in Paragraph One is used toC．
A．inspire readers to struggle upward        
B．tell a law of nature
C．introduce the topic of the passage         
D．summarize the main idea of the passage
26．In which countries does most part of virtual water come from outside？C．
A．The United Kingdom and China         
B．America and Israel
C．The Netherlands and Kuwait            
D．The Netherlands and America
27．What can be a suitable title for the passage？D
A．Benefits of Virtual Water             
B．Hidden Uses of Water
C．Crops and Virtual Water             
D．Water's Worldwide Travels
28．Where does the passage probably come from？A
A．A science news report．
B．A newspaper advertisement．
C．A book review．
D．A science fiction story．

Health insurance(保險) can be very expensive. Some working people do not make enough money to pay for it. In the US there is a program called Healthy Families. This program offers people health insurance at a low cost.

Families are charged about $7.00 a month for every child, and $10.00 for every adult. It costs much less than any other kind of health insurance. Having health insurance is very important. With this insurance, people can see a doctor when they are sick or hurt.

The program is not expensive at all, but many people are still not enrolling in it. People say that it still costs too much money. They need all of their money to pay for things like food and rent（租金）.

It would be great if everyone could have health insurance. People are working hard to come up with ways to make this happen. One idea is to make the Healthy Families Program free for some people.

It is important for people to see a doctor when they need to. The Healthy Families Program makes it possible for more people to do this. Many ideas are being considered. Hopefully some of them will allow even more families to get health insurance.

The Healthy Families Program is made to help those who don’t have welfare (社會保障金) and cannot earn enough to pay for private health insurance.

China has more than 30 intangible cultural heritage(非物質(zhì)文化遺產(chǎn)) recognized by the UNESCO, including paper-cutting, the Dragon Boat Festival, Peking Opera, acupuncture(針灸) and so on. The organization adopted a decision that China’s “The Twenty-Four Solar Terms”(二十四節(jié)氣) should be put on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2016 in Ethiopia.

The Twenty-Four Solar Terms, knowledge of time and practices in agriculture, starts from the beginning of Spring and ends with the Greater Cold, moving in cycles. It developed through thee observation of the sun’s annual movement in China. In ancient time, the method of tugui, earth sundial(日暑), was used to measure the shadow of the sun for determining the solar terms.

The Twenty-Four Solar Terms came into being and developed in close relationship with Chinese agricultural production. At the initial（最初的） stage of agricultural development, people began to explore the seasonal rules in the agricultural production to meet the needs in seeding, harvesting and other activities. Gradually, they formed the concept of “seed in spring, grow in summer, harvest in autumn and store in winter”. During the spring and autumn periods, the agricultural production was highly influenced by the seasonal changes, thus forming the concept of Solar Terms.

As a traditional Chinese knowledge system of time with a history of thousands of years, the Twenty-Four Solar Terms clearly expresses the concepts of respect for nature, and harmony between man and nature. Created by Chinese ancestors, it has functioned as a complete set of weather calendar(日歷) to guide the agricultural production in China. It has also been introduced into North Korea, Japan and other neighboring countries and still used in Japan. The Chinese heritage has provably influenced the people’s way of thinking and behaving and will continue to be an important carrier of Chinese cultural identity.

1.According to the first two paragraphs, the Twenty-Four Solar Terms______.

A. was used to measure the shadow of the sun

B. has not been listed as one intangible cultural heritage of humanity

C. repeats from the Beginning of Spring to the Greater Cold every year

D. is the best intangible cultural heritage recognized by the UNESCO

2.We can learn from the text that _______ in China in the past.

A. the Twenty-Four Solar Terms only influenced spring and autumn

B. the Twenty-Four Solar Terms had something to do with agriculture

C. people cared about the changes of weather just for fun

D. agricultural production highly influenced the seasonal changes

3.We can infer from the text that the Twenty-Four Solar Terms _______.

A. is an agricultural calendar merely used in China

B. is strongly influenced by North Korea and Japan

C. is scarcely connected with natural rules

D. is part of traditional Chinese culture
