27、Chinese cuisine is widely known and enjoyed all around the world. Who doesn't long for a favorite Chinese dish? But there is one interesting concept concerning Chinese food which is almost unheard of in the West, and which is becoming increasingly ignored by the youth of the East-- the ancient custom of “tonic food”.

Tonic food is food which is consumed to improve one's well-being or avoid sickness. For instance, it was once the custom for new mothers to eat a sesame oil (麻油) hot pot every day for the first month after giving birth. It was believed that this dish would benefit the muscles, reduce pain, improve circulation, stimulate sweating, and warm the body. Some foods, such as goat meat and spinach, are seen as “hot”, while others, such as Chinese cabbage and radishes, are seen as “cold”. One should be careful not to eat too much of either “hot” or “cold” food. However, how much “hot” or “cold” food one should eat depends on the time of the year, how the food is prepared and what it is prepared with, and the individual’s health.

The custom of employing tonic food for a healthier life also influences the catering industry. Chinese herbal medicines, such as wolfberry (枸杞), can be found on many a restaurant menu, either added to fruit tea or as a beneficial addition to a dish. These herbs attract customers, such as overworked office staff, in need of a modest pick-me-up.

So, whether you need to boost your strength with a large helping of chicken soup, or increase your mental powers with a serving of fish soup, you may find that this ancient Chinese custom could be just the tonic you were looking for.

【1】What is the present situation of tonic food?

A．It is catching less attention.

B．It is enjoyed by many young people.

C．It is well-known worldwide.

D．It is becoming increasingly popular.

【2】What is believed to benefit new mothers?

A．Chinese cabbage.

B．Fruit tea.

C．Sesame oil hot pot.

D．Fish soup.

【3】Which of the following best explains “catering” underlined in Paragraph 3?

A．Medicine

B．Restaurant.

C．Manufacture.

D．Agriculture.

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．The Charm of Chinese Cuisine

B．The Popularity of Tonic Food

C．An Introduction of Chinese Tonic Food

D．Differences Between Hot Food and Cold Food

28、Iceland has long been identified as having unique environments. Here you can walk and swim between tectonic (地壳构造的) plates, bath in geothermal waters, and experience the wild landscapes. Furthermore, these unique environments have attracted the space-science community to use Iceland as one of its test sites for missions travelling to Mars (火星).

DAY 1

Arrive in Reykjavik.

After check-in, you will visit the geothermal pools of the Blue Lagoon to relax after your flight, before returning to your hotel to freshen up. You will then head to the Aurora Basecamp Observatory, where you will be able to see the northern lights recreated indoors. In the evening, space expert Niamh Shaw will give the first of two talks on our attempt to establish bases on other planets.

29、   You’ re in your car, heading for a crossroads. The light turns yellow, so you decide to step on the gas. Then you see a police car. Almost instantly, you know that stepping on the accelerator （油门） is a mistake. But there’s a good chance that you’ll do it anyway, says Susan Courtney, a professor in the Department of Psychological& Brain Sciences at Johns Hopkins University.

Thar’s because as one area of your brain is recognizing that police car, other areas have already begun carrying out your original plan to speed up. "Even if you haven’t actually started moving your your brain has already started that plan, Courtney says. And stopping a plan requires a lot of brainpower, Courtney and a team of researchers report in the journal Neuron

The team monitored the brain activity of 21 people as they met with a situation that was a bit like approaching a crossroads when the night turns yellow. Participants were asked to focus on a central point on a screen and wait for a target to appear somewhere else. Sometimes they were allowed to do the natural thing and shift their gaze to the target when it appeared. However, most of the time, they got a visual order to resist the wish to move their gaze. In other words, they had to cancel an action the brain was already planning to carry out.

The study found that changing an action required three key brain areas to communicate with eight other areas. Previous research had suggested fewer areas were required. The team also found that all the communication had to occur when participants got the order not to move their eyes.

This lag （落后） is why we experience that awful moment when our brain knows we shouldn’t step on the accelerator, but our foot does it anyway. "If the signal has already been sent, you can only watch it happen without being able to stop it, "Courtney says. The brain’s stop system appears to be involved in a lot more than just controlling our bodies. "It’s not just about stopping your foot or your eyes;it’s about changing your plan, "Courtney says.

【1】What will people most probably do in the situation according to Susan?

A.They will stop the car.

B.They will drive slowly.

C.They will speed up.

D.They will avoid the police car.

【2】What do Courtney’s words show?

A.The brain needs a long time to deal with the signal.

B.It is hard for the brain to accept two different signals.

C.Sometimes people will stop an action without realizing it.

D.Changing an action requires different parts of the brain to work together.

【3】What does the text want to show?

A.How to make a change.

B.How to stop a dangerous action.

C.Why your brain reacts faster than your body.

D.Why you have trouble in stopping an action.

30、   How important is it to offer our love, especially to those who are closest to us, with no strings attached? The_______of the expression 'no strings attached' may go back to ancient times when_________were written on parchment(羊皮纸) that was rolled up and_________with a string.

An unknown author beautifully_______the no-strings-attached love in this heartfelt story titled The Rock.

As she grew older her teenage daughter became increasingly rebellious(叛逆的). It was late one night when the police_________her daughter for drunk driving. She had to go to the police station to_________her daughter up.

'Read the card, ' she________.

Her daughter took the card out of the envelope in the box and__________it. Tears started to trickle down her daughter’s cheeks. Her daughter got up and hugged her as the__________fell to the floor.

________the card were these words: ' This rock is more than 200,000,000 years old. That is how long it will take before I__________you. '

This mother is not saying, 'I will love you________…' Instead she says that she will love her daughter forever and nothing can change that. No__________attached.

But now the sun was shining, and the wind was blowing all over the pavements， blowing the rain away. Pete got on his tricycle(三轮脚踏车) and rode away. He felt excited since this was the first time he had gone to a shop on his tricycle. “I’ll ride through every puddle(水坑),” he said to himself.

He rode right through the first puddle, and splashes of water flew up in the air. But when he looked around, the puddle was still there. Behind his tricycle was a long black line. His front wheel had made it when it came out of the puddle. Pete noticed it and he was pleased. “I meant to do that,” he laughed. (But he hadn’t really.) So he rode right through the next puddle, and his black line shone behind him. But now, when he looked around, instead of one black line there were three, because this puddle was a very big one, and all three of the wheels had gone right into it. “I’m an engine-driver,” cried Pete. “And those are my railway lines. Oooo! Ooooooo!”

And he pedaled through every puddle he could see. Sometimes it was a small puddle, and then there was only one railway line. And sometimes it was a middle-sized puddle, and then there were two railway lines. And sometimes it was a very big puddle, with a lot of sky in it, and then the whole tricycle went through it, and there were three railway lines.

Suddenly Pete remembered that he was going to the shop on the corner to buy a lollipop. He put his hand in his pocket to make sure his two pennies were still there. One of them, two of them… Pete felt each of them with his fingers. “It was good of me to remember,” he told himself. “I’m a very good rememberer.”
