26、   Do you love food? Whether you’re a foodie or someone who just likes eating, there is so much to choose from. We know that too much of the wrong kind of food can be bad for our health, but for some people having a food allergy means eating certain things can actually be harmful — and now, it seems, this is affecting more and more of us.

An allergy is caused by the immune system fighting substances in the environment, known as allergens(过敏原), which should be seen as harmless. Food allergies can cause life-threatening reactions, which means people have to spend their lives following strict dietary restrictions and worrying about the ingredients of everything they consume. Allergy specialist Dr Adam Fox says, “If you look back over, say, 30 or 40 years… there are much more allergic problems around now than there were.”

We often hear about people having allergies to dairy products and to peanuts. Last year a young girl died after suffering a deadly allergic reaction from eating a baguette containing sesame seeds. This led to a call for better food-labelling laws.

Research has found that this problem is particularly affecting children. More and more of them are having allergic reactions to certain foodstuffs. Dr Alexandra Santos from King’s College London says “food allergy now affects about 7 percent of children in the UK and 9 percent of those in Australia. Across Europe, 2 percent of adults have food allergies”.

So what might be the cause? Dr Santos says the increase in allergies is not simply the effect of society becoming more aware of them and better at diagnosing them; it seems to be more environmental. She says possible factors are “pollution, dietary changes and less exposure to microbes (微生物), which change how our immune systems respond”.

A lot of work is being done to try and find a cure, but that’s not easy. So for now allergy sufferers must watch what they eat and they must rely on clear and accurate labelling.

【1】What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 1 refer to?

A.Having an imbalanced diet.

B.Being allergic to some certain food.

C.Consuming too much of harmful food.

D.Fighting substances in the environment.

【2】Which of the following writing skills is NOT used in paragraph 2 & 3?

A.Giving a definition. B.Making a comparison.

C.Offering an example. D.Presenting specific data.

【3】What can we infer from the text?

A.Dairy products are to blame for most food allergies.

B.Kids don’t suffer from food allergies as much as adults.

C.Allergies unknown in the past may be diagnosed now.

D.More exposure to microbes can reduce food allergies.

【4】What’s a practical suggestion for allergy sufferers?

A.Never try new food. B.Make efforts to find a cure.

C.Have a balanced diet. D.Read labels before eating.

27、Just finishing loading his car, my husband Jerry went back to the kitchen. “I guess filling my thermos (保温瓶) is all I have left to do,and then I’m off.” Down the drain (下水道) went the hot water that had been warming his thermos.

With a nostalgic (怀旧的) look on his face, he softly said: “Anytime I fill my thermos I think of your mom.” The tone in his voice was so tender as he spoke of my mother, who is sadly no longer with us.

“Oh, honey, I know she’s watching and listening right now with a big smile on her face,” I responded, tears in my eyes.

One morning years ago when we were leaving, mother watched as Jerry was to fill his thermos. Mom then casually said, “Jerry, if you filled your thermos with hot water and let it sit a while, your coffee would stay hot for longer then.” With her simple suggestion, his face showed that he was shocked by his own lack of common sense, well, of course it would! He poured out the small amount of coffee already in the thermos and refilled it with boiling hot water. Then he poured the water and refilled it with hot coffee. Mom smiled as Jerry did so.

Words of wisdom from a loving mother-in-law made an impact that will never be forgotten. She never dreamed her words would be a treasured and everlasting memory in the heart of her son-in-law.

The lasting memories don’t necessarily come from major moments in life. Memories are often made during those small, ordinary moments. Life is about small moments we share with friends and loved ones!

【1】Which word best describes the author’s feeling in Paragraph 3 ______?

A．Confused.

B．Concerned.

C．Touched.

D．Interested.

【2】The advice the mother gave Jerry was to ______.

A．fill the thermos with a little coffee first.

B．warm the thermos up before filling it with coffee.

C．fill thermos with coffee before with warm water.

D．think of her whenever filling the thermos with coffee.

【3】The underlined part “don’t necessarily” is similar in meaning to ______.

A．possibly but uncertainly.

B．without any doubt.

C．certainly and absolutely.

D．out of the question.

【4】The message that the story intends to convey is ______.

A．that lasting memories come from small things.

B．how valuable a mother’s advice is to her children.

C．what a wise woman the mother is to her son-in-law.

D．why we should respect our parents and listen to them.

28、   Online programs to fight depression are already commercially available. While they sound efficient and cost-saving, a recent study looked at computer-assisted cognitive (认知的) behavioral therapy (CBT) and found that it was not that helpful in handling depression.

Traditional CBT is considered as an effective form against depression, helping people challenge negative thoughts and change the way they think in order to change their mood and behaviors. However, online CBT programs have been gaining popularity, with the attraction of providing low-cost help wherever someone is able to use a computer.

A team of researchers from the University of York conducted a survey with 691 depressed patients from 83 physician practices across England. They were divided into three groups: one group received only usual care from a physician while the other two groups received usual care from a physician plus one of two computerized CBT programs. After four months, the patients using the computerized CBT programs had no improvement in depression level over those who were only getting usual care form their doctors, mainly because depressed patients are not likely to get involved in online programs and stick with them.

“It’s an important, warning note that we shouldn’t get too carried away with the idea that a computer system can replace doctors and therapists (治疗师),” says Christopher Dowrick, a professor of primary medical care at the University of Liverpool. “We do still need the human touch or the human talk, especially when people are depressed.”

Being depressed can mean feeling “lost in your own small, negative, dark world,” Dowrick says. Having a person, instead of a computer, reach out to you is particularly important in battling that sense of separation. “When your feeling is more easily hurt, you’re even more in need of a caring human being,” he says.

【1】What has made online CBT programs increasingly popular?

A．Their good effects on fighting depression.

B．Their easy and cheap use by patients.

C．The low efficiency of traditional CBT.

D．The attraction of going online.

【2】We can learn from the survey in paragraph 3 that ________.

A．online CBT is more likely to cure depression

B．traditional CBT has no improvement in depression

C．depressed patients fail to keep up the online treatment

D．the combination of traditional and online CBT is most effective

【3】What is Professor Dowrick’s view on online CBT?

A．It can take the place of doctors.

B．It should not be ignored in primary care.

C．Its effectiveness should not be over valued.

D．Its advantages should be encouraged by doctors.

【4】In which column of a newspaper can we read this passage?

A．Science and Technology

B．Culture and Society

C．Business and Advertisement

D．Health and Fitness

29、Humour is a phenomenon influenced by culture. It can be difficult to determine what aspects form a certain sense of humour. How funny somebody finds a certain incident depends on many aspects including age, personal experience, level of education and geographical location. A nation’s sense of humour is linked to the historical development of the country. 【1】

But what about when both countries speak the same mother tongue? Will they then share the same sense of humour or can differences still occur? Let’s take the example of Britain and America. 【2】 To what degree is this true, if at all?

Recent research proves that there are two major differences between British and American sense of humour. 【3】 However, it’s not shared by Americans. For example, if a British man lost his new and favourite mobile phone in the toilet, he just said “Well done! That’s just what I need.”

【4】 And that kind of jokes is called negative humour by researchers. British men and women use it on a daily basis, while it is not the case of American humour. What Americans don’t understand is the need to use it so frequently. When Americans use negative humour, they tend to state that they were “only kidding”.

Although the British really do have a unique sense of humour, quite different to American humour, they can both appreciate the other’s sense of humour. Therefore, some shows describe a lifestyle which both Americans and the British alike can relate to. 【5】

A．British jokes tend to have a hidden meaning.

B．Thus humour can’t always be conveyed in another country.

C．Americans and the British often share the same sense of humour.

D．Humour contrary to what you want to say is regarded as typically British.

E．The other difference is how frequent to joke about the dark side of life.

F．People say Americans and the British hardly understand each other’s jokes.

G．Comedies The Office (UK) and The Office (USA) gain popularity on both countries.
