27、 Homemade lemonade is an essential taste of summer.But concentrates (浓缩汁)and powders simply won't be enough.
Luckily, great homemade lemonade is as easy as remembering a few numbers—3-1-1-1.3 cups of cold water,1 cup of lemon juice, 1 cup of sugar and 1 more cup of water to make the sugar syrup(糖浆).
When shopping for lemons for lemonade, buy large lemons that feel heavy and are squeezable. I find that half the lemon is rind(外皮) and there is very little juice. For that reason, I always buy a couple extra. If I think I can get 1 cup of juice from 6 lemons. I buy 8.
As soon as I bring them home. I soak the lemons in a solution of white vinegar and water to minimize any molding or rotting.Often, a bag of lemons with one slightly mold(发发霉的)lemon becomes a whole bag of rotten lemons during a night if you don't do this.And you don't have to stop at lemons this is a great way to wash all fruits and vegetables.
Before you juice them, soak the lemons in warm water or microwave them for 10 seconds.The heat relaxes the juice bags and makes it easier to remove the most juice from each lemon.Then, before you cut them in half, roll the lemons on the counter with your palm, using some power.This also helps get the juices flowing.
Once the juice is strained(过滤)of excess pulp and seeds, and the simple syrup is cooled, you are ready to mix your lemonade. This can be done up to 2 days in advance. Also, be careful not to add too much water. The lemonade should be slightly concentrated because the ice in the glass will make the liquid weaker a bit. For that reason, I only add the ice to the glasses.
【1】Why does the author always buy a couple extra when shopping for lemons for lemonade?
A.Because the author loves lemons a lot. B.Because a lemon contains little juice.
C.Because the majority of a lemon is rind D.Because the lemon juice is tough to get.

A.uncertain B.slow C.limited D.fast
【3】What should be done to make the lemonade slightly concentrated?
A.Straining the juice 2 days in advance. B.Making syrup cool as early as possible.
C.Not adding too much water. D.Not adding ice to the.glasses.
【4】What is the best title for the passage?
A.Homemade lemonade—a unique taste of summer
B.The secrets of making great lemonade in summer
C.How to choose lemons in shops
D.How to make lemonade concentrated
28、 It was Monday. Mrs Smith’s dog was hungry, but there was not any meat in the house.
Considering that there was no better way, Mrs Smith took a piece of paper, and wrote the following words on it, “Give my dog half a pound of meat” Then she gave the paper to her dog and said gently, “Take this to the butcher(卖肉者), and he’s going to give you your lunch today.”
Holding the piece of paper in its mouth, the dog ran to the butcher’s shop. It gave the paper to the butcher. The butcher read it carefully, recognized that it was really the lady’s handwriting and pleasantly did as he was asked to. The dog was very happy, and ate the meat up immediately.
At midday, the dog came to the shop again. It gave the butcher a piece of paper again. After reading it, he gave it half a pound of meat once more.
The next day, the dog came again exactly at midday. And as usual, it brought a piece of paper in the mouth. This time, the butcher did not take a look at the paper, and gave the dog its meat, for he had thought of the dog as one of his customers.

To the butcher’s more surprise, it came for the third time at six o’clock, and brought with it a third piece of paper. The butcher felt a bit puzzled. He said to himself, “This is a small dog.

29、 For over 40 years, gaokao has not only affected individual students, but also has had a significant impact on national development.
In a move to fix talent shortages in the high-end chip, software design, intelligent technology, new materials and advanced manufacturing and social sciences, the Ministry of Education (MOE) announced a new college enrollment plan — called the “strengthening basic disciplines plan (强基计划)” — that will start this year.
The pilot plan has been rolled out in the country’s top 36 universities. By May 13, all schools had released their distinctive enrollment plans, encouraging senior high students with special talents to sign up.
Before the end of May, students can apply to one of the 36 participating universities. Enrollment policies vary by university, with admission limits set from dozens of students to 200.
These universities also detailed their recruitment procedure.
After the results of gaokao are released, schools will release lists of qualifying students, who either excel in gaokao, or have won first or second prizes in Olympiads with gaokao scores at least higher than the first round of register lines. These applicants will then receive additional tests and interviews. The final enrollment decision is heavily based on the gaokao score, which will remain the most important criterion (标准), accounting for more than 85 percent of the final result, says MOE.
The universities have announced that they will also consider physical tests as a reference for submission (录取), according to China Youth Daily.
Once the students are enrolled, they are expecting an intensive educational program. For example, Tsinghua University has set up five schools, offering courses in chemical biology, information and computing science, theory and applied mechanics as their dominant disciplines. The university’s goal is to “put admitted students in small, independent classes with the best and most specific teaching resources and learning environments for their discipline”, according to Yu Xiaoxiao, the director of admission at Tsinghua University.
Compared to the previous independent university enrollment scheme (高校自主招生计划), under which some students could either gain admission without taking gaokao or be awarded bonus points in the exam, “the new plan positively facilitates diverse, efficient and scientific progress in Chinese college admissions,” noted China.org.
【1】What’s the purpose of the passage?
A.To affect individual students with talents.
B.To inform people of a new education project.
C.To instruct high schools to improve education quality.
D.To help the college-bound high school students with exarms.
【2】Which of the following is the function of gaokao according to the passage?
A.It helps students to get admitted to certain programs.
B.It fixes talent shortages in the high technology.
C.It greatly influences national development.
D.It strengthens college enrollment plans.
【3】What do we know about the “strengthening basic disciplines plan”?
A.Each applicant can apply to the 36 participating universities.
B.The final enrollment decision has nothing to do with the gaokao score.
C.The applicants will receive additional tests and interviews after gaokao.
D.Each university can admit 200 students with the same enrollment policy.
【4】Where is this passage probably taken from?
A.A newspaper. B.A science magazine.
C.A university website. D.A textbook.
