21、 Oded Brenner has a great job. He makes chocolate. In 2015, during a trip to Jamaica, he developed a love and excitement for the fruit that produces chocolate: cacao (可可).
The Jamaican people taught him a lot about cacao - namely, it is more than just chocolate. Brenner saw Jamaican people making juice, and flour from the cacao fruit. And they used the whole fruit - not just the beans.
The Ecuadorian people also taught Brenner how to use cacao. In Ecuador, he saw people drink cacao water and eat the dried fruit of the pods (可可豆荚). You can eat the whole fruit, he learned. But in making traditional chocolate, he added, “all of the other parts of the fruit are wasted.”
The fruit is a little sweet and a little sour. The cacao water is described as refreshing. The seed inside is the cacao bean. This is the part that is processed to make chocolate.
With his new business and his new knowledge, Brenner said he wants to tell both sides of the chocolate story. So, he has created new products that celebrate the traditional side of chocolate-making and the natural taste of the cacao fruit.
Health experts have long noted the possible good effects that chocolate can have on health. The T.H. Chan Harvard School of Public Health says on its website that the dark chocolate produced from cacao has many necessary nutrients. These include iron, copper, magnesium, zinc, phosphorus, and substances (物质) called flavanols.
Brenner said the unsweetened fruit has other nutrients as well. Cacao is high in antioxidants. And the water is full of natural chemicals called electrolytes. These are substances needed in the body’s fluids to control important processes including how your body uses vitamins and minerals and removes waste.
In addition to health, Brenner said that the cacao he uses for his products is farmed in a way that is not harmful to the environment. And it is also fair to the farmers.
【1】What is actual taste of chocolate mainly from?
A.Cacao water.
B.Cacao pods.
C.Cacao beans.
D.Cacao trees.
【2】Which can you learn from the text?
A.All parts of cacao are wasted in making chocolate.
B.Dark chocolate made from cacao is full of natural nutrients.
C.Oded Brenner hated his job before his arrival in Jamaica.
D.The traditional processes of chocolate destroy the nutrients in cacao bean.
【3】Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A.Cacao Is Full of Nutrients.
B.Oded Brenner’s New Business.
C.Oded Brenner’s Great Success.
D.Cacao Is More Than Just Chocolate.
22、Nowadays, parents worry a lot because their children spend hours and hours in front of the TV screen. Because this doesn’t happen to only one specific family, many experts warn us that there can be some serious effects of children watching violence on television.
Children who become addicted(上瘾的) to TV sit down and turn on the TV as soon as they get home. Although they have lots of homework, they become absorbed in TV programs.
Since they spend tons of time watching TV, they have less time to enjoy real life activities such as playing with friends, playing outdoor sports, or enjoying other kinds of entertainment.
There are too many violent scenes on TV. Some experts say there are 25 acts of violence per hour on TV. In addition, there are many experiments by psychologists which show how TV violence influences children. Finally, people worry that children tend to imitate what they watch on TV and may start to behave more violently.
What should be done? First of all, the government should regulate TV violence. It should also encourage people to invent and develop new technology which can block violent scenes from the programs children watch. For example, with a rating system(分级制度) and the V-chip, unfit scenes of violence and sex can be blocked out. Second, parents should monitor what their children watch. At the same time, they should make their children interested in real life activities. Then when the children start to spend more time playing with friends or reading books, parents can stop their monitoring.
It is a fact that there is more violence on TV today than there was ten years ago. Moreover, violent incidents occur more frequently in real life. It’s time to realize how harmful watching TV violence is, and it’s time to keep our children from watching violence.
【1】What experts really worry is that ./
A. children spend too much time watching TV
B. TV violence has a bad influence on children
C. children become addicted to TV programs
D. children have less time to do their homework

A. giving an example
B. giving a definition
C. making a comparison
D. presenting research findings
【3】What does the underlined word “imitate” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?

C. Ignore. D. Avoid.
【4】What is the author’s purpose for writing this text?
A. To express his own worries about TV violence.
B. To ask parents to take good care of their children.
C. To inform readers of the latest situation about TV violence.
D. To call on the whole society to save children from violence.
23、One thing you probably always wondered about is why Americans drive on a different side of the road than their British cousins. It might seem strange that the UK drivers stay on the left, but they are not alone. Around 35% of the world population does the same, including people in Ireland, Japan, and some Caribbean islands.
It is said that originally almost everybody traveled on the left side of the road. However their mode of transport was quite different from today: Think four legs instead of four wheels. For medieval(中世纪的)swordsmen on horseback, it made sense to keep to the left to have their right arms closer to enemies. Mounting and dismounting was also easier from the left side of the horse, and safer done by the side of the road than in the center.
Things changed in the late 1700s when large wagons pulled by several pairs of horses were used to transport farm products in France and the US. In the absence of a driver's seat inside the wagon, the driver sat on the left, with his right arm free to use his whip(鞭子)to keep the horses moving. Since he was sitting on the left, and wanted other wagons to pass on his left, so he kept to the right side of the road.
The British Government refused to give up their left-hand driving ways and made laws to encourage driving on the left. Meanwhile post-revolution France, under their left-handed ruler Napoleon, accepted the right side of the road. During all this driving confusion, the British and the French were giving up their power across the globe, and as part of their rapid colonization(殖民化)they insisted that the countries they occupied drive on the same side of the road. This explains why former British colonies such as Australia, New Zealand, and India drive on the left, while former French colonies like Algeria, Ivory Coast, and Senegal drive on the right.
【1】What’s the purpose of the first paragraph?
A.To make a question about two driving patterns.
B.To make a comparison about two driving patterns.
C.To give background of the text.
D.To support the following paragraphs.
【2】What can we learn from the second paragraph?
A.People in ancient times were accustomed to walking on the right of the road.
B.People in ancient times usually afforded to hang out by carriage.
C.Swordsmen rode warhorses to make them fight better.
D.Swordsmen usually rested their warhorses on the left side.
【3】Which of the following statements is not true according to the text?
A.The British Government carried out appropriate policies to change the left-hand driving situation.
B.The colonies are impacted by their former empires.
C.The colonial countries which insist on their traditions is a symbol of colonization.
D.The left-hand driving situation changed due to the need for delivering farm products.
【4】What’s the text mainly talking about?
A.The history of the left-hand rules in colonial corners.
B.The evolution process of the left-hand rules.
C.The medieval history of the left-hand rules.
D.The progress of the left-hand rules in colonies.
24、 Should we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city? In order to answer this question, we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area.Not all historical buildings are attractive.However, there may be other reasons—for example, economic reasons—why they should be preserved.So, let us assume(假设) that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people.What should we do then if a new building is needed?
In my view, new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style.Indeed, there are many examples in my own hometown of Tours where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings.As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not dominate(影响) its surroundings too much, it often improves the attractiveness of the area.
It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt(破坏) the area they are in, but the same can be said of some old buildings too.Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas.I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative(保守的) and do not like change.
Although we have to respect people’s feelings as fellow users of the buildings, I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to move things forward. If we always reproduced what was there before, we would all still be living in caves .Thus, I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different, even though that might be the more risky choice.
【1】What does the author say about historical buildings in the first paragraph?
A.Some of them are not attractive.
B.Most of them are too expensive to preserve.
C.They are more pleasing than modern buildings.
D.They have nothing to do with the historic feel of an area.
【2】By “move things forward” in the last paragraph , the author probably means“_________”.
A.destroy old buildings
B.put things in a different place
C.choose new architectural styles
D.respect people's feelings for historical buildings
【3】What is the main purpose of the passage?
A.To explain why people dislike change.
B.To warn that we could end up living in caves.
C.To admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings.
D.To argue that modern buildings can be built in historic areas.
25、Sensing sepsis(败血症)
