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.”
Mr.Smith says now he and his wife can take good care of themselves in their two-level house.But he and his wife know they will soon need help with simple housework.Work like Changing a light bulb that hangs at the top of the stairs.In the past, an older American would ask one of their children or a neighborhood teenager to change the light bulb.But here, those young helpers have grown up and gone.Mr.and Mrs.Smith have three children, but they all live in other states.So they are considering joining a virtual village."This is a local group of volunteers and service providers that help older adults.They might help these adults with anything from transportation to small home repairs and dog walking.The virtual village idea was first developed about ten years ago in Boston, Massachusetts.The idea has spread to an unofficial network of villages around the country.One hundred fifty are currently in development.

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.”

The “Cod School” is a place where________.

A.cod fish are trained
B.fishermen learn to grow cod fish
C.a large number of cod fish can be found
D.cod fish are kept

The program of Cod School is to help________.

D.open waters

If the cod fish are over fed,________.

A.they would die soon
B.they would be over-weighted
C.the feed would be wasted
D.the water in the pens would be polluted

The purpose of fish-farming is to________.

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.”

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

A.really be just friends
B.never be just friends
C.have nothing but romance
D.work together better than the same sex

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

A.cross the ethnic boundary
B.turn into bad relationship
C.turn into romance
D.be broken up

参考答案 C

解析：这是一道细节题。见第二段最后一句。【全文翻译】所有的友谊都需要一定程度的化学反应，但当两个异性成为朋友时，有时这些友好的感觉会开始变得更像性紧张。
男女友谊可能是隐藏欲望的情感雷区。这是否意味着你暗地里想和你所有的朋友上床?当然不是。但你有没有想过，如果有机会，他们中有多少人会感兴趣?也许你和你的柏拉图式友谊只是一次糟糕的分手再喝一瓶酒就能跨越界限勾搭上了。
那么，两个异性真的能“只是朋友”吗?好莱坞对这个古老问题的回答是绝对的“不”。在银幕上，男女之间的友谊总是会变得更多。哈利和莎莉，钱德勒和莫妮卡，吉姆和帕姆……芦苇要继续吗?就连《老友记》中的角色最终也比片名所暗示的要丰富得多。电影故事告诉我们，当相当有魅力的男女彼此成为朋友时，他们总是在走向浪漫的道路上，不管他们是否意识到这一点。
但是这种友谊作为性爱前奏理论有多少真实性呢?不是很多。现实生活不是浪漫喜剧。男人和女人一起上学，一起工作，在很多柏拉图式的环境中一起玩耍，而不会绝望地爱上对方。
去年，我的一个亲密的女性朋友搬去和一个新的男性室友住了。我的第一反应是，“你们俩肯定要睡在一起了。”在我看来，住在同一屋檐下的单身男女最终必然会这样做。令我惊讶的是，室友之间的浪漫从未发生过。近一年过去了，他们俩甚至都没能看到对方的裸体。相反，他们的生活方式越来越像无性婚姻。他们为对方做饭，为家务争吵，并坚持他们永远不会以“那样的方式”考虑对方。

In the movie Just Friends，the two leading characters________.

A.are just friends
B.have romance
C.don’t realize their true relationship
D.can never be friends again

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.

Paragraph 3 mainly describes________.

A.why the potato became popular in the north of England
B.why the potato was important in England’s population growth
C.how the potato contributed to England’s industrial development
D.how the potato helped improve England’s working conditions

Friedrich Engels’s words show that he________.

A.thought highly of the potato
B.took the potato too seriously
C.underestimated the role of the potato
D.lacked the basic knowledge of the potato

参考答案 A

解析：这是一道细节题。见第三段最后一句。【全文翻译】它是世界上第四大最重要的粮食作物，仅次于玉米、小麦和水稻。与其他植物相比，它能更快地提供更多的卡路里，使用更少的土地，适应更广泛的气候。当然是土豆。
联合国希望，通过帮助减少贫困和促进经济发展，提高人们对土豆优点的认识将有助于实现其千年发展目标。
土豆通过支持19世纪英国的工业革命促进了经济的发展。它提供了一种廉价的卡路里来源，而且易于种植，因此它把工人从土地中解放出来。马铃薯在英格兰北部开始流行，因为那里的人们专门从事畜牧业和家庭工业，而南部的农民则专注于小麦生产。幸运的是，工业活动集中在煤炭容易获得的地区，以及马铃薯驱动的人口激增为新工厂提供了充足的工人。弗里德里希·恩格斯(Friedrich Engels)甚至宣称，马铃薯的“历史革命作用”与铁不相上下。
土豆以炸薯条的形式与汉堡和可口可乐一起供应，如今土豆已成为全球化的象征。考虑到他们在16世纪抵达旧世界时首次受到的质疑，这是一个相当大的变化。它们被认为只适合动物，与魔鬼有关或有毒。在18世纪的欧洲，只有当战争和饥荒导致人们没有其他食物可吃时，它们才开始流行起来;那时人们才意识到它们是多么有用和可靠。正如土豆的众多崇拜者之一亚当·斯密当时所观察到的那样:“在这些王国里，土豆被普遍用作人类的食物，这是一个令人信服的证据，证明一个民族对饮食的偏见，无论多么根深蒂固，绝不是不可克服的。”捣碎、炸、煮、烤，一个不起眼的土豆改变了世界，世界各地的人们都应该赞美它。

A.there was a serious food shortage

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.

参考答案详见解析

解析：Finding a Job in a Big City or a Small Town?
I think college graduates should not just concern themselves with getting a job with a big company in a big city.They can also establish themselves in small towns or in underdeveloped places.The unemployment rate of Chinese college graduates has soared in recent years，which can partly be attributed to their unrealistic expectations.Many want a job with a famous company but turn a cold shoulder to jobs in rural areas or small towns, thinking working there is a waste of their talent.Is it true that a person cannot achieve much unless working in a big city or big company?
The story of my friend Xiao Wu gives that question a negative answer.Xiao Wu was a former investment manager with a well-known company and had a PhD in finance.He resigned from his post and took over his mother’s pig farm in his hometown.He has made a fortune through his flourishing pig farm business.He had the courage to abandon his established career because he saw the potential in rural areas brought about by new policies in recent years to accelerate the development of agriculture and the rural economy, and to increase the income of farmers.His success is a result of his down-to-earth manner and his boldness.Indeed，big companies and big cities can provide fresh graduates with a better chance for promotion and a wider field of vision.But college graduates can also learn some practical skills if they begin their career in grassroots companies or institutions.我认为大学毕业生不应该只考虑在大城市的大公司找到一份工作。他们也可以在小城镇或欠发达地区立足。
近年来，中国大学毕业生的失业率飙升，部分原因是他们不切实际的期望。许多人想在知名公司工作，但对农村或小城镇的工作却很冷淡，认为在那里工作是浪费他们的才能。
一个人除非在大城市或大公司工作，否则不会有很大成就，这是真的吗?
我朋友小吴的故事给了这个问题一个否定的答案。
小吴曾是一家知名公司的投资经理，拥有金融学博士学位。他辞去了职务，接管了母亲在家乡的养猪场。
他通过兴旺的养猪场生意发了财。他有勇气放弃已经确立的职业，因为他看到了近年来农村地区的新政策所带来的潜力，这些政策加快了农业和农村经济的发展，增加了农民的收入。
他的成功是他脚踏实地的态度和勇敢的结果。
事实上，大公司和大城市可以为应届毕业生提供更好的晋升机会和更广阔的视野。但如果大学毕业生在基层企业或机构开始职业生涯，他们也可以学到一些实用技能。
成功的人是那些有勇气打破过时的意识形态的人。人们可以在农村也可以在大城市发展事业。
