13．Tea farmers in Kenya are suffering because of low prices for their crop this year．So they have exchanged their tea bushes for a healthy new"purple tea"that they hope ill sell for a higher price．But the farmers who planted the bushes are worried．Nelson Kibara is one of them．He says the prices this year have been so low that he has made almost no profits．He says he must grow different kinds of tea if he is to survive．
Mr．Kibara ad hundreds of other farmers have been removing some of their tea bushes and planting a new kind of tea developed by the Tea Research Foundation of Kenya．Its leaves are purple and brown．When the tea is boiled，the drink has a purple color．Medical researchers have studied the health benefits of the new tea．They say it is healthier than black tea and could be sold for a price that is three to four times higher than the price of black tea．
But Mr．Kibara says he has not received a higher price for his purple tea crop．He says the market for the tea is unstable（不穩(wěn)定的） and he is often forced to sell his purple tea for the same price as green tea leaves．He says there are not enough buyers willing to pay more for the purple tea than black tea．
Stephen Mutembei works at the Tea Research Foundation．He says farmers quickly changed from growing black tea to growing purple tea．But he also blames tea leave processors for not making changes more quickly．
But Mr．Mutembei says purple tea is an importnt crop for the country and its tea farmers．He says Kenya needs to find new products like purple tea to help its tea industry become more stable．Tea is the country's top crop．Mr．Mutembei says the country's economy is too closely linked to the changing price of black tea．He says tea buyers and drinkers must be persuaded that they should pay more for purple tea than black tea．
"Because farmers，they have planted already，you cannot tell them to uproot．At this level we should not just say‘we don't have a market'forever．We should be doing something to find a good market．"
21．What can we learn about the purple tea？C
A．It is as cheap and healthy as the black tea．
B．It can make the drink brown when boiled．
C．It has been planted in some areas of Kenya．
D．It as helped some kenyan farmers earn a lot of money．
22．What does the author want to tell us in Paragarph3？B
A．The purple tea sells well in the market．
B．The market for purple tea in kenya needs to be developed．
C．The price of the purple tea is lower than the green tea．
D．The purple tea is becoming popular with Kenyan people．
23．What is Stephen Mutembei's attitude towards the purple tea？A
A．Favorable．
B．Uncaring．
C．Doubtful
D．critical
24．Which of the following can be the best title for the text？D
A．Different Kinds of Tea in Kenya
B．Kenyan Economy and Tea crop
C．Purple Tea Has Replaced Green Tea in Kenya
D．Low Prices Cause Kenyan Farmers to change Tea Crop．

3．Everyone knows that death is natural，but do you have any idea of the process of dying？Modern scientists divide the process of dying into two phases---clinical or temporary death and biological death．Clinical death occurs when the vital organs，such as the heart or lungs，have ceased to function，but have not suffered permanent damage．The organism can still be revived（復(fù)活）．Biological death occurs when changes in the organism lead to the"breaking up"of vital cells and tissues．Death is then unchangeable and final．
Scientists have been seeking a way to prolong the period of clinical death so that the organism can remain alive before biological death occurs．The best method developed so far involves cooling of the organism，combined with narcotic sleep．By slowing down the body's metabolism（新陳代謝），cooling delays the processes leading to biological death．
 To illustrate how this works，scientists performed an experiment on a six-year-old female monkey called Keta．The scientist put Keta to sleep with a narcotic．Then they surrounded her body with ice-bags and began checking her body temperature．When it had dropped to 28 degrees the scientists began draining blood from an artery．The monkey's blood pressure decreased and an hour later both the heart and breathing stopped：clinical death set in．For twenty minutes Keta remained in this state．Her temperature dropped to 22 degrees．At this point the scientists pumped blood into an artery in the direction of the heart and started artificial breathing．After two minutes Keta's heart became active once more．After fifteen minutes，spontaneous（自發(fā)的）breathing began，and after four hours Keta opened her eyes and lifted her head．After six hours，when the scientists tried to give her a penicillin injection，Keta seize d the syringe and ran with it around the room．Her behavior differed little from that of a healthy animal．
32．For a person who suffers from the clinical deathD
A．he is still very much alive．
B．he can not avoid final death．
C．his most important organs are damaged．
D．he still has the possibility of getting back to life．
33．Scientists try to make the time of clinical death longer in order toB
A．cool the organism．
B．delay the coming of biological death．
C．slow down the body's metabolism．
D．bring vital cells and tissues back to active life．
34．How did the scientists put Keta into clinical death？A
A．By putting her to sleep，lowering her temperature and draining her blood．
B．By surrounding her body with ice-bags and draining her blood．
C．By lowing her blood pressure and stopping her heart from beating．
D．By draining her blood，lowering her blood pressure and stopping her breathing．
35．All of the following indicate that the monkey has almost restored to her original physical state  except the fact thatB
A．her heart beat again．
B．she rejected a penicillin injection．
C．she regained her normal breath．
D．she acted as lively as a healthy monkey．

4．See a cellphone cover that you like on Taobao？Forget about placing an order，paying the bill online and waiting for days for it to be delivered to you．In the near future，you'll be able to get it in minutes just by hitting"print"on your computer．
　  You might find it hard to believe that you could actually"print"an object like you would a picture．But it is not that hard to understand how it would work．Just as a traditional printer sprays （噴） ink onto paper line by line，modern 3D printers spread material onto a surface layer by layer，from the bottom to the top，gradually building up a shape．
　  Instead of ink，the materials the 3D printer uses are mainly plastic，resin（樹(shù)脂） and certain metals．The thinner each layer is-from a millimetre to less than the width of a hair-the smoother and finer the object will be．
　  This may sound like a completely new technology，but the truth is that 3D printing has been around since the late 1980s．Back then，it was barely affordable for most people，so few knew about it．
    Last year，though，saw a big change in the 3D printing industry-printers became much cheaper．For example，10 years ago a desktop 3D printer might have cost￡20，000，while now they cost only about￡1，000，accordin g to the BBC．
    Taken out of the factory and introduced to more diverse and common uses，3D printing can create just about anything you can think of-flutes （笛子），bikinis，jewelry，aircraft parts and even human organs．In fact，scientists from Cornell University in New York have just made an artificial ear using a 3D printer，according to Science Daily．The fake ear looks and acts exactly like a natural one．
    However，as 3D printing becomes more common，it may bring about certain problems-such as piracy．"Once you can download a coffee maker，or print out a new set of kitchen utensils （餐具） on your personal 3D printer，who will visit a retail （零售的） store again？"an expert in 3D printing told Forbes News．Even more frightening，what if anyone in the world could use a 3D printer to print out a fully functioning gun？
32．According to the article，in the future，the 3D printing technology willB．
A．enable people to make better purchases online
B．change the way we make many products
C．be applied as widely in our daily life as computers
D．shorten the time it takes for people to get what they buy online
33．What happened in the 3D printing industry last year？D
A．The 3D printing technology was taken out of the factory．
B．The 3D printing technology began to be used in various fields．
C．The 3D printer was used for medical treatment for the first time．
D．The 3D printer became more afforda ble for consumers．
34．How is the last paragraph developed？A
A．By giving examples．
B．By making comparisons．
C．By analyzing the cause and effect．
D．By presenting research findings．
35．What is the best title of the passage？D
A．Great Demand for 3D Printers　　         
B．Technology in the Future
C．Online Shopping Disappearing　　         
D．Printing out Everything．

8．What did you eat for lunch today？Did you choose this dish because it was healthy，cheap or because it was just very tasty？Are you a particular eater or an adventurous diner？
I love exploring trends in food．‘Fusion（融合） cuisine'is not for everybody．My Italian grandmother would turn her nose up in disgust at the thought of tandoori pizza with mango topping but this marriage of tastes is perfectly fine in the 21st century．Chef and food writer Ching-He Huang，who presented a series of Chinese Food for the BBC，is a fan of the movement．She says："Fusion has been happening for centuries，for as long as people have travelled，but with the Internet，and global travel，the exchange of ideas makes the process much faster．"
Wolfgang Puck is seen by many as one of the chefs who made‘fusion'elegant．He got his experience in this aspect in his native Vienna and made a name for himself when he opened his own restaurant in Los Angeles in the 1970s．This European dug into Asian cuisine and became one of the first in a long line of distinguished chefs．He said in an interview with the Wall Street Journal that initially he got negative responses from traditional American-Chinese restaurant owners but he is not bitter．"I believe authenticity is about evolution，not repeating your grandmoter's recipe．"he explains．"Cooking is like painting or writing a song．Just as there are only so many notes or colours．there are only so many flavours-it's how you combine them that sets you apart．"
My granny's cup of tea would be the Slow Food Movement．Founded by her countryman Carlo Petrini in the 1980s and still going strong，it seeks to preserve regional cuisine and the use of ingredients that are grown locally．Petrini wants to see farmers connected more directly with consumers．
All these trends give us food for thought．We might be wasting an exciting opportunity to wake up our taste buds when we swallow a sandwich at our desks．Tomorrow，why not find an exotic restaurant and enjoy a feast？You dress trendy so eat trendy!
28．Fusion cuisine isD．
A．a(chǎn) BBC cooking programme      
B．a(chǎn) balanced diet rich in nutrition
C．a(chǎn) new trend of global travelling   
D．a(chǎn) combination of different cooking styles
29．What do we learn about Wolfgang Puck？D
A．He knew little about Asian cuisine． 
B．He owed his success to his love for painting．
C．He was well received by Europeans．

5．Culture can affect not just language and customs，but also how people experience the world on surprisingly basic levels．
Researchers，with the help of brain scans，have uncovered shocking differences in perception （感知） between Westerners and Asians，what they see when they look at a city street，for example，or even how they perceive a simple line in a square，according to findings published in a leading science journal．
In western countries，culture makes people think of themselves as highly independent entities （實(shí)體）．When looking at scenes，Westerners tend to focus more on central objects than on their surroundings．East Asian cultures，however，emphasize inter-dependence．When Easterners look at a scene，they tend to focus on surroundings as well as the object．
Using an experiment involving two tasks，Dr Hedden asked subjects to look at a line simply to estimate its length，a task that is played to American strengths．In another，they estimated the line's length relative to the size of a square，an easier task for the Asians．
The level of brain activity，by tracking blood flow，was then measured by Brain Scanners．The experiment found that although there was no difference in performance，and the tasks were very easy，the levels of activity in the subjects'brains were different．For the Americans，areas linked to attention lit up more，when they worked on the task they tended to find more difficult--estimating the line's size relative to the square．For the Asians，the attention areas lit up more during the harder task also--estimating the line's length without comparing it to the square．The findings are a reflection of more than ten years of previous experimental research into east-west differences．
In one study，for instance，researchers offered people a choice among five pens； four red and one green．Easterners were more likely to choose a red pen while Westerners were more likely to choose the green one．
Culture is not affecting how you see the world，but how you choose to understand and internalize （使內(nèi)化） it．But such habits can be changed．Some psychological studies suggest that when an Easterner goes to the West or vice versa，habits of thought and perception also begin to change．Such research gives us clues on how our brain works and is hopeful for us to develop programs to improve our memory，memory techniques and enhance and accelerate our learning skills．

63．According to the passage，Chinese people are most likely toC．
A．more emphasize independent thinking
B．a(chǎn)lways focus more on their surroundings
C．focus more on the context as well as the object
D．think of Westerners as highly independent entities
64．We know from the passage that people's brains will be more active whenD．
A．the task is much easier
B．the blood flow is tracked
C．people begin to choose colors
D．the task is more difficult
65．What do the findings of the experiments mentioned in the passage indicate？B
A．They indicate that culture has a great impact on the way people talk and behave．
B．They show that Easterners and Westerners have great differences in perceiving the world．
C．They suggest that people's habits of thought and perception can be changed in different cultures．
D．They make it clear that Easterners and Westerners lay emphasis on different things．
66．It can be inferred from the passage thatA．
A．Easterners prefer collectivism to individualism
B．East Asian cultures lay more emphasis on independence
C．It took over ten years to find out how to improve our brainpower
D．Americans will change their habits of perception when they're in Britain．

2．When I brush my teeth each morning，I see my tongue，and feel slightly amazed that it's going to be insured（投保） for￡1 million．I had never really paid much attention to it until I became a baby-food tester．Now，my tongue---or rather，its ability to determine tiny changes in flavor---is the primary tool of my job．The company I work for believes I'm so valuable in terms of getting the balance of tastes in baby food just right that it's worth getting insured．
I'm what you call a"supertaster"---one of a small percentage of the population born with twice as many taste buds（味蕾） as the rest．Babies are typically born with more than 10，000taste buds，but in later life they decrease to as few as 5，000．At 24I should really be at the height of my tasting power．
At first，baby food tasted strange to me---it took a while to get used to eating a meal that had been reduced to a paste（糨糊）．Also，I have to make a real effort to think like a baby---to imagine that each time I put a spoonful of pie in my mouth，I am six months old again．I still avoid tasting baby fish pie after breakfast．
I am more aware of the need to protect my tongue these days，particularly before a tasting session，and to avoid any strong tastes or smells，such as coffee and perfume．I also drink plenty of water during the day to clean my palate（味覺(jué)）．
It's not really something that affects my personal life．Outside work it's a joy to be able to taste everything so deeply．One consequence is that eating is a much richer experience for me than for most people．If I take one bite of a salad，I can tell immediately what's in the dressing．I like the challenge of guessing what's in anything I eat，and the satisfaction of rarely getting it wrong．

24．The reason why the author is being insured is thatA．
A．few people have his tasting power
B．he manages valuable assets for his company
C．baby-food testers'taste buds are easily injured
D．he makes well-balanced meals for babies
25．The author is a good baby-food tester because heB．
A．is good at making baby food
B．has more taste buds
C．knows a lot about nutrition
D．is young
26．How does the author protect his tongue？D
①By avoiding strong tastes．
②By brushing his teeth every day．
③By staying away from strong smells．
④By drinking plenty of water．
A．①②③
B．②③④
C．①②④
D．①③④
27．What does the author mean by saying that"eating is a much richer experience for me than for most people"？C
A．He can learn a lot about food by tasting it．
B．He can easily tell which of two foods is better．
C．He is more sensitive to flavor than other people．
D．He spends much of his time eating every day．
