10．Many animals recognize their food because they see it．So do humans．When you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat．You can also use other senses when you choose your food．You may like it because it smells good or because it tastes good．You may dislike some types of food because they do not look，smell or taste very nice．Different animals use different senses to find and choose their food．A few animals depend on only one of their senses，while most animals use more than one sense．
Although there are many different types of food，some animals spend their lives eating only one type．The giant panda eats only one particular type of bamboo．Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the choice．A kind of white butterfly will stay on the leaves of a cabbage，even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden．However，most animals have a more varied diet．The bear eats fruits and fish．The fox eats small animals，birds and fruits．The diet of these animals will be different depending on the season．
Humans have a very varied diet．We often eat food because we like it and not because it is good for us．In countries such as France and Britain，people eat foods with too much sugar．This makes them overweight，which is bad for their health．Eating too much red meat and animal products，such as butter，can also be bad for the health．Choosing the right food，therefore，has become an area of study in modern life．

21．We can infer from the text that humans and animalsC．
A．depend on one sense in choosing food
B．are not satisfied with their food
C．choose food in similar ways
D．eat entirely different food
22．Which of the following eats only one type of food？A．
A．The white butterfly．
B．The small bird．
C．The bear．
D．The fox．
23．Certain animals change their choice of food whenA．
A．the season changes
B．the food color changes
C．they move to different places
D．they are attracted by different smells
24．We can learn from the last paragraph thatD．
A．food is chosen for a good reason
B．French and British food is good
C．some people have few choices of food
D．some people care little about healthy diet．

12．Every day  we are bombarded with images，videos，music and news．In this age of  visual and aural hyper-stimulation，the medium of radio is making a phenomenal  comeback．
"We're at the dawn of a golden age of audio，"said US-based podcaster Alex  Blumberg in an article in The Sydney Morning Herald．In the last month alone，15  percent of US adults listened to a radio podcast．These statistics，released by Edison  Research，reveal the successful evolution of traditional radio broadcasts to the present  day's digital podcast format．The term"podcast，"was coined in 2004，but the trend only  started gaining mainstream popularity in recent years．Since the leap in consumer  demand for smartphones and tablets，podcast subscription rates have only accelerated．
The appeal of the podcast partially resides in its multiplatform delivery and  on-demand capabilities．You can tune in during those extra minutes of the day when  you're walking to the shops，waiting in a queue or riding the subway．Similar to television shows，podcasts are generally free to download and most offer new content  every week．
Donna Jackson，22，Sydney university media graduate，listens to podcasts two or three times a week，via iTunes．"I listen while I'm pottering around the house doing  something else．It makes completing a boring task a lot more enjoyable…And it's an  easy way of keeping in touch with what's going on in the rest of the world，"she said．
Unlike television and music，the audio format has the potential to create a deep impression on readers．Blumberg says this comes down to the podcast's ability"to  create intimacy and emotional connection．"Sydney University undergraduate Hazel  Proust，major in social work and arts，agrees．"When you're tuned in，it feels as if the voice of the podcast's narrator is talking directly to you．It's comforting，"said Proust．

21．From the passage，we can learn thatB．
A．Radio is developing more quickly than mediums with images，videos，music and news．
B．Podcast has its origin in the traditional radio broadcasts．
C．In the last month alone，15percent of world adults listened to a radio podcast．
D．Podcast was becoming popular from 2004．
22．By saying"We're at the dawn of a  golden age of audio，"Alex Blumberg wants to
Tell us thatC
A．Traditional radio broadcasts will be loved by people again．
B．Radio has attracted more people than TV and other forms of media．
C．Radio will be more and more popular in the form of podcast．
D．The Sydney Morning Herald will help radio become popular again．
23．For podcast，which is wrong？A
A．You can listen to it at any time and any place．
B．You can download it without pay．
C．You can learn new content every week from it．
D．You can listen to it according to your own demand．
24．From the last paragraph，we can inferC
A．television and music has become less popular
B．Hazel Proust has different opinions with Blumberg
C．podcast can build up close relationship with listeners
D．using podcast the narrator can talk to listeners directly．

9．Tuvalu is located in the South Pacific．It is tiny and has only nine islands with a population of just 11，000．In 1999，it was the third-poorest country in the world．The islanders earned just﹩1，000 each year．
    But then something unusual happened．Tuvalu received an internet domain （領土） name-the letters"tv"．These letters were very interesting for many companies around the world．A communication company from California offered to buy the domain name"tv"for﹩40 m．For the Tuvalans this was a very large amount of money．The islanders became very rich．
Because of global warming，and because the islands are only 3m above sea level，Tuvalu will probably become the first country in the world that will disappear under the sea．

C．Tuvalu is only 3m high above sea level．
