Passage One
Many older Americans spend their final years in a nursing home or assisted living center.These places provide services that help older adults with activities they can no longer do on their own.However, most people say they would like to remain in their own homes.Now, there are nonprofit groups that help them do that.Philip Smith is ninety-one years old and lives with his wife in an old house in Seattle, Washington.And he wants to keep it that way.He always says:" As far as I'm concerned, I would not like to leave this place.Living in a group situation is something I couldn’t tolerate.I'd kill myself before I had to do that.”

Several fishermen in Maine recently completed a study program at the country's first ever “Cod(金枪鱼) School.” It trains fishermen who usually earn a living fishing in the ocean to be fish farmers.The program is aimed at helping commercial fishers to find a new way to carry out their trade.On a recent morning, a fishing boat left, but the men on the boat were not going fishing, they were going farming.They are going to move the cages and sorting codfish.About one and a half kilometers out to sea, the boat finds eight circular pens.A rubber tube encloses each one.The pens are covered with netting material to keep out seabirds.Inside each of the fifty-meter wide areas are up to fifty thousand cod.Most of these fish will be served on dinner tables around the world.The program will teach the students how to feed the fish and not to over-feed the fish.It means that they should give them enough feed, and not waste any feed and make it as efficient as possible.The fish-farmers in training take turns throwing special fish food into the pen.Air bubbles appear as thousands of cod come up to feed.They can be seen from the boat with an underwater camera.Bill Thompson is one of the Cod School's four students.He says the program has showed him that fish-farming is a wise choice.He said: “Even if the wild stocks came back to their fullest capacity they still wouldn't feed the world.So this is the way of the future.And it's possible for a family to run a business also.”

All friendships require a certain amount of chemistry, but when two people of the opposite sex become friends, sometimes those friendly feelings can start to resemble something more like sexual tension.Male-female friendships can be an emotional minefield of hidden desires.Does this mean you secretly want to jump into bed with all of your friends? Of course not.But do you ever wonder how many of them might be interested if the opportunity presented itself? Maybe you and your platonic(柏拉图式的) friendship are just a bad breakup and a bottle of wine away from crossing that boundary and hooking up(结合).So can two people of the opposite sex ever really be “just friends?” The Hollywood answer to this age-old question is a decisive HELL NO.On screen, male-female friendships always turn into something more.Harry and Sally, Chandler and Monica, Jim and Pam...do reed to go on? Even the characters in Just Friends wind up becoming much more than the film’s definitive title suggests.Cinematic stories dictate that when reasonably attractive men and women befriend one another, they are always on the road to romance, whether they realize it or not.But how much truth is there to this friendship as foreplay (性爱前奏）theory? Not a whole lot.Real life isn’t a romantic comedy.Men and women go to school together, work together and hang out in plenty of platonic settings without falling hopelessly in love with one another.Last year, a close female friend of mine moved in with a new male roommate.My immediate reaction was, “You two are definitely going to sleep together.” It seemed to me that a single man and woman living under the same roof would inevitably end up doing it.Much to my surprise, the roommate romance never happened.Almost one year later, the two of them have never even come close to seeing each other naked.Instead, their way of life has come to resemble a sexless marriage.They cook for each other, argue over domestic chores and insist that they never, ever think about each other “that way.”

21. The author believes that two people of the same sex can________.

Areally be just friends

Bnever be just friends

Chave nothing but romance

Dwork together better than the same sex

22. According to the last sentence of the 2nd paragraph, under the right opportunity, platonic friendship can easily________.

Cturn into romance

Dbe broken up

23. In the movie Just Friends，the two leading characters________.

Aare just friends

Bhave romance

Cdon’t realize their true relationship

Dcan never be friends again

24. In real life, Hollywood foreplay theory________.

Ahas been proved true

Bhas been practiced a lot

Cdoesn’t work

Dis abandoned by people

25. In the last paragraph, the man and the woman________.

Anever become close friends

Bend up sleeping together

Cend up with a sexless marriage

Dnever have romance

It is the world’s fourth-most-important food crop, after maize, wheat and rice.It provides more calories，more quickly, using less land and in a wider range of climates than any other plant.It is, of course, the potato.The United Nations has hoped that greater awareness of the merits of potatoes will contribute to the achievement of its Millennium Development Goals, by helping to reduce poverty and promote economic development.The potato promoted economic development by supporting the Industrial Revolution in England in the 19th century.It provided a cheap source of calories and was easy to cultivate, so it liberated workers from the land.Potatoes became popular in the north of England, as people there specialized in livestock farming and domestic industry, while farmers in the south concentrated on wheat production.By a happy accident, the concentrated industrial activity in the regions where coal was readily available, and a potato-driven population boom provided ample workers for the new factories.Friedrich Engels even declared that the potato was the equal of iron for its “ historically revolutionary role ”.In the form of French fries, served alongside burgers and Coca-Cola, potatoes are now a symbol of globalization.This is quite a change given the skepticism which first greeted them on their arrival in the Old World in the 16th century.They were variously thought to be fit only for animals, to be associated with the devil or to be poisonous.They took hold in 18th- century Europe only when war and famine meant there was nothing else to eat； people then realized just how useful and reliable they were.As Adam Smith, one of the potato’s many admirers, observed at the time, “The very general use which is made of potatoes in these kingdoms as food for man is a convincing proof that the prejudices of a nation，with regard to diet, however deeply rooted, are by no means unconquerable.” Mashed, fried, boiled and roast，a humble potato changed the world，and people everywhere should celebrate it.

26. Paragraph 3 mainly describes________.

Awhy the potato became popular in the north of England

Bwhy the potato was important in England’s population growth

Chow the potato contributed to England’s industrial development

Dhow the potato helped improve England’s working conditions

27. Friedrich Engels’s words show that he________.

Athought highly of the potato

Btook the potato too seriously

Cunderestimated the role of the potato

Dlacked the basic knowledge of the potato

28. Europeans began to eat potatoes in the 18th century because________.

Athere was a serious food shortage

Bthey realized that potatoes tasted good

Cfood safety had been greatly improved

Deating potatoes had become fashionable

29. What Adam Smith said could be used to demonstrate the potato’s________.

Ageneral use

Bmain features

Csuccess story

Dbright future

30. The best title for the passage is “________”.

A2008—the Potato’s New Mission

BIn Praise of the Potato

CThe History of the Potato

DThe Potato and Globalization

1. In many Western countries, a considerable number of parents have removed their children from school and are teaching them at home.Such children do all their normal lessons at home often under the guidance of a parent.The first thing to consider is whether this is legal or not.In most countries it is, so long as parents can prove that their children are receiving an adequate education, equal to that provided by their state educational system.The next consideration is whether the parents have the time, self-discipline, intelligence and patience to teach their own child week after week, day in and day out, for hours on end.Then there is the problem of what will be taught, and how.
