 Liu Feng    Blog              My 18th Birthday      2010- 4-14 9:29:2

Today is my 18th birthday, which means that from now on, I am an adult, so it is very fresh to me. I can not forget the happiness and love that my family and friends have given me. To show their love and affection, they held a great ceremony for me at home, and also sent me many kinds of presents, which have left me with great memories.

However, the most unforgettable thing is : a small gift from my English teacher, Jesse.

This morning, after class, Jesse approached me and said “Happy Birthday and here is a card for you”. After thanking him, I carefully opened it:

“Dear Liu Feng,

I sincerely hope the 18th birthday will bring you great happiness all through your life. I have been with you for almost one year, and I find you are a good boy. You are working hard and doing fine in your study, and also I’d like you to have a little change in yourself. Since last month, when you failed in the exam, you have become shy and passive, you seem to have closed your world from others and hesitate to be together with them, which I think is not good for you. To adapt yourself to your future college and social life, find yourself an active life！

Yours,

Jesse”

Reading this, I was moved to tears…

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2010-2011學(xué)年甘肅省天水市高三第六次檢測(cè)英語(yǔ)卷 題型：閱讀理解

What do you want to be when you grow up? A teacher? A doctor? How about an ice-cream taster? Yes, there really is a job where you can get paid to taste ice-cream. Just ask John Harrison, an “Official Taste Tester” for the past 21 years. Testing helps manufacturers to be sure of a product’s quality. During his career Harrison has been responsible for approving large quantities of the sweet ice cream — as well as for developing over 75 flavors (味道).

Some people think that it would be easy to do this job, after all, you just have to like ice cream, right? No — there’s more to the job than that, says Harrison, who has a degree in chemistry. He points out that a dairy or food-science degree would be very useful to someone wanting a career in this “cool” field.

In a typical morning on the job, Harrison tastes and assesses 60 ice-cream samples. He lets the ice cream warm up to about 12℉. Harrison explains, “You get more flavor from warmer ice cream, which is why some kids like to stir it, creating ice-cream soup .”While the ice cream warms up, Harrison looks over the samples and grades each one on its appearance. “Tasting begins with the eyes,” he explains. He checks to see if the ice cream is attractive and asks himself, “Does the product have the color expected from that flavor?” Next it’s time to taste!

Continuing to think up new ideas, try out new flavors, and test samples from so many kinds of ice cream each day keeps Harrison busy but happy — working at one cool job.

1. What is John Harrison’s job?

  A. An official.     B. An ice-cream taster.

  C. A chemist.   D. An ice-cream manufacturer.

2. According to John Harrison, to be qualified in the “cool field”, it is helpful to ______.  A. keep a diary of work   B. have a degree in related subjects

  C. have new ideas every day   D. find out new flavors each day

3. What does Harrison do first when testing ice cream?

  A. He stirs the ice cream.         B. He examines the color of the ice cream.

  C. He tastes the flavor of the ice cream. D. He lets the ice cream warm up.

4.Which of the following is probably the best title of the passage?

  A. Tasting with Eyes      B. Flavors of Ice Cream

  C. John Harrison’s Life   D. One Cool Job

任務(wù)型閱讀 (共10小題；每小題1分，滿分10分)

注意：每個(gè)空格只填1個(gè)單詞

The health dangers of smoking have been well reported. For years, doctors have warned that smoking can cause lung cancer. Studies also have linked smoking to several other kinds of cancer, heart attacks and other diseases, lung diseases, and a number of other medical problems. The repeated health warnings have had an effect. Thousands of people have stopped smoking. But as many people have learned, stopping smoking can be very difficult.

A major problem apparently is the nicotine, a poisonous substance found in tobacco. Small amounts of nicotine are released as tobacco is burned. And over many years of smoking, a person’s body becomes dependenton the substance. A try to stop smoking brings the problems of nicotine withdrawal（脫癮過(guò)程）.

American medical researchers have found that nicotine withdrawal causes people to become angry very easily, aggressive, worried and unable to think sharply. Many people who have tried to stop smoking would confirm those findings.

To help people give up smoking, some tobacco companies have proposed chewing tobacco, or using snuff as safe substitutes（替代物）. Snuff is a tobacco powder that usually is breathed in. But many people put it between their gum and cheek.

A group of British scientists said recently that many lives could be saved by a major program to get cigarette smokers to change to snuff. An American scientist, Allan Blum, disagreed. Dr. Blum argued that snuff, put in the mouth, can cause gum disease, teeth problems and throat problems that lead to cancer. Dr. Blum also warned against chewing tobacco as a substitute for smoking. He said chewing tobacco can lead to cancer of the mouth, throat or digestive system.

Medical researchers say another possible substitute for smoking is a special nicotine chewing gum. The gum is already sold in Europe and Canada. A report says research shows that the chewing gum will increase the amount of nicotine in a person’s blood. This helps satisfy some people’s desire for a cigarette. However, the report says, the chewing gum also leads to some unpleasant side effects. And it may be dangerous for people with heart problems.

Two other American scientists say they have found that the most effective way to stop smoking is to do it completely, suddenly, all at once. The report by Saul Shirtman and Dr. Murray Jogbett says that by stopping all at once, the worst problems of nicotine withdrawal are over in just a few days. But, they say, by continuing to smoke, even a little less each day, the problems of withdrawal never end completely.
