The food we eat seems to have a great effect on our health. Although science has made big steps in making food more fit to eat, it has, at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of human illness is related to food and forty percent of cancer is related to food as well. That food is related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945, some researchers realized that things commonly used to keep colors in meats and other food additives (添加劑) caused cancer.

Yet, these additives remain in our food, and it is difficult to know which things on the wrappings（包裝）of foods are helpful or harmful. The additives which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin (青霉素) to their animals, and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of cows. Sometimes similar things are supplied to animals not for their health, but just to make a profit.

The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to get a higher price on the market. Although some countries have tried to control such things, the practice continues.

1.According to this passage, we can know _____.

A. perhaps most kinds of cancer are related to what people eat

B. perhaps most of human illness is caused by what we eat

C. cancer was discovered in 1945

D. science has made food unfit to eat

2.Things that are used to keep colors in meats are _____.

A. harmful B. useless C. helpless D. dangerous

3.People use additives _____.

A. to make food more unfit to eat

B. to cause cancer

C. to change the color of the food

D. to take off the diseases of the food

4.Which of the following is NOT true?

A. Some wrappings of food are harmful.

B. Farmers try to make more money on the market by fattening their animals.

C. "The practice continues" means "things are still going on like that".

D. We needn't take care of what we eat.

B

When I began planning to move to Auckland to study，my mother was a little worried about the uncertainty of living in a place that was so different from India，where we lived. She worried particularly about the lack of jobs，the cultural differences and the chance that I would face racism.

Despite these worries，I came to New Zealand in July 2009. I have found the place and people very nice and supportive. Soon after I arrived，I realized the importance of getting a job to supply my living expenses.

Determined to do this on my own ，I spent a whole day going from door to door asking for a job. However，I received little or no response. This became my routine every day after college for a few weeks.

One afternoon，I walked into a building to ask if there were any job opportunities. The people there were very surprised，and advised me not to continue my job search in that manner.

As I was about to leave，a clerk in the building，who had been listening to what the others had said, approached me and asked if I would wait outside. Fifteen minutes later，he returned. He asked me what my plans were and encouraged me to stay confident. He then offered to take me to the Royal Oak area to search for a job.

I was a little surprised，but had a good feeling about him，so I went along. Along the way， I realized that I had run out of copies of my resume（簡歷）．The man stopped at his business partner's office to make me 15 extra copies. He also gave me tips on dressing and speaking，and added that I should give him, a call if I ever needed anything. I handed out my resumes and went home feeling very satisfied. The following day，I received：call from。store in Royal Oak offering me a job.

It seems that the world always gives back to you when you need it. And this time，it was a complete stranger who turned out to be a real blessing.

Being responsible is actually not that difficult. I used to think it is hard to grow up into a responsible member of our society. An incident happening in a rainy Sunday afternoon changed my attitude. I was on my way to the bookstore and was waiting for the green light while a girl was knocked down by passing car, which drove off quickly. A man immediately gave her first aid and I had joined in without hesitation. Soon many help was given to the girl. Because we sent her to the nearest hospitals in time, she was able to receive properly treatment. Not badly injured, I expressed gratitude to those giving help.

科目：高中英語 來源：2016屆遼寧大連第二十高級中學高三10月月考英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

The world is changing so fast that English, perhaps the most worldly of languages, is struggling to keep up.

Learners in the future are likely to be much younger. Young children are often said to be better at language learning than older learners but they also have special challenges. Young children don’t usually have the kind of instrumental motivation and determination for learning English that older learners often have. English lessons must therefore be fun and rewarding.

The reasons why people learn English are also changing. Globalization is bringing together more people than ever who speak different languages and who are turning to English as the means of communication. The English learners of the future may be less worried about sounding exactly like a native speaker and more concerned about how to use English effectively in cross-cultural communication. We may be hearing more non-native speakers in dialogues and a wider range of the “New Englishes” now used around the world.

Technology will allow English to come to you, rather than you having to go to a special place to learn English.

Learning English has always involved both pain and pleasure, private effort and social activity. Traditional learning provided take-it or leave-it mixes of these as well as of content but in future learners will be able to choose a plan which suits their cultural and psychological dispositions(性情), or their particular needs at that moment. They, rather than their teachers, will decide how, what and when they will learn.

Above all, learning English is about communication and an important benefit of learning English is being able to exchange views and make friends with people all over the world. Despite the growing independence of learners, trusted institutions and brand names will remain important.

1.Compared to older learners, young English learners .

A. are more active in learning

B. are more hard-working in learning

C. have more difficulties in learning

D. have less lasting determination in learning

2.What can we learn about the future English language?

A. British English will be more popular.

B. American English will be more popular.

C. Most people will speak standard English.

D. Many different kinds of Englishes will appear.

3. What can we learn from the passage?

A. Future English lessons will be more interesting.

B. Old people won’t have to learn English in the future.

C. People will pay more attention to English pronunciation.

D. Teachers will play a more important role in one’s English learning.

4. What can be inferred from the passage?

A. Learning English means no pain in the future.

B. English training schools will not be popular with young people in the future.

C. English learners will become less independent in the future.

D. More attention will be paid to personal needs in English learning in the future.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的七個選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。

Weighing the Options

Making decisions when shopping is often a tough call．Even if you’re satisfied with the first dress you try on, would you go on looking for alternatives, comparing styles and prices, until you literally dropped dead?

Psychology researchers have studied how people make decisions and concluded there are two basic styles．“Maximizers” like to take their time and weigh a wide range of options—sometimes every possible one—before choosing．“Satisficers” would rather be fast than thorough.

1. So even if they see what would seem to meet their requirements, they can’t make a decision until after they’ve examined every option to make sure that they’re making the best possible choice．Researchers followed 548 job-seeking college seniors at 11 schools from October through their graduation in June．They found that the maximizers landed better jobs．2.

“The maximizer is kicking himself because he can’t examine every option and at some point had to just pick something,” they say．“Maximizers make best decisions and end up feeling bad about them．3.”

Satisficers also have high standards, but they are happier than maximizers．Maximizers tend to be more depressed and to report a lower satisfaction with life, his research found.

Faced with so many choices in our lives, we need to learn how not to waste time and energy on our decision-making．

4. For instance, if you’re picking a restaurant for a lunch meeting, first deciding on a certain part of town or type of cuisine can narrow your options.

Once you’ve arrived at a decision, stick with it．5. To limit the number of options you can consider, you can set a time limit for decision-making．Say you are buying a new bag, you could spend an amount of time studying features, price and value—but if you give yourself only five minutes to make a decision, and there are only these bags you can consider, you’ll save time．You’ll be happier with your decision, too.

A．Maximizers are people who want the best.

B．First of all, decrease your range of options.

C．Comparing is often a must when you make a decision．

D．Just accept that no decision is ever completely perfect.

E．Satisficers make good decisions and end up feeling good.

F．The other is to make decisions more accurately at the beginning.

G．Their starting salaries were 20 percent higher but they felt worse about their jobs．
