KFC(肯德基), one of the most famous fast-food chains, saw its reputation in China shaken because of “quick chicken”. Recent years, KFC has ever shocked us more than once because of its food safety, which made itself in severe trust crisis. Now it greatly surprised us again owing to the poultry(禽肉)incident. We could never believe it should have cheated us again and again. In fact, as a well-known restaurant chain, KFC’s business records at China’s is not very good. There’s no doubt that the very incident has made things worse and worse.
However, what surprised us is that although a series of misdeeds had reduced KFC’s reputation, its business is increasing. What’s more, KFC just made a so-called apology after what had happened, the content of which is not responsible at all for the public. As a matter of fact, this is not an ordinary chance incident. Recent years have seen so many food-safety problems in China, such as wasted oil, lean meat powder(瘦肉精), melamine(三聚氰胺), which has done great damage to people’s life. We don’t know what can be eaten and how much harmful food we have eaten. Now it is not wars and natural disasters but everyday food safety that has been a great risk to human health.
So what can be done to prevent our health from being damaged? To begin with, the related departments should strengthen laws to stop such illegal products from being produced. In addition, it would be a good idea to call on the media to perform its further function to monitor the businesses, factories and traders. Besides, everybody should be made aware of the risks of harmful food and only in this way can people improve their self-protection. In a word, everyone should play a role in making our food safer and better in quality. Meanwhile, the government and the related departments should take their responsibilities for people’s health.
【小題1】According to the text, we can learn that KFC made itself in severe trust crisis________.

Fans of US television dramas watch their favorite series for different reasons: some want to improve their English skills, others just want to kill time.
Some TV series are more than pure entertainment―they have a certain depth. Mad Men, which returned with a sixth season recently; Monday Mornings, which just finished its first season; and Modern Family, which sweeps the awards every year, are just a few examples.
Why do these shows stand out among so many similar ones? TV critics Raymond Zhou will give you an idea of why some shows are better than others.
Period drama—More than time travel
Period dramas are intended to capture the ambience (氣氛) of a particular era. Directors must therefore attract audiences as much by their recreation of a historical setting as by an interesting storyline.www.zxxk.com
Mad Men is an excellent example of this balance being struck. Set in New York during the 1960s, it accurately shows US attitudes in the workplace through the alcoholism and chain-smoking common of the time, and places an absorbing plot right in its center.
But rather than merely presenting a past decade, Mad Men’s subtle (微妙的) description of the struggles of white-collar workers at the time, both male and female, makes it stand out.
“The series’ attention to detail is superb,” Raymond Zhou said. “For example, creator Matthew Weiner makes Don Draper―the leading role of the series―drive a Buick instead of a Cadillac, because Weiner thinks the ad man lacks the self-pride to buy a luxury car. It’s this kind of attentiveness that raises the show’s artistic value.”
Critics also recommend
Another period drama that works is Broadwalk Empire, set during the prohibition period of the 1920s and 1930s in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
Heather Havrilesky at Salon magazine noted how the show “revels in the oddities(怪事) of its time, peeling back the layers of polite society to reveal a shadow world of criminals and politicians working together to keep the liquor flowing.”www.zxxk.com
Why does it appeal to viewers? Because they know that the “l(fā)iquor” is a metaphor (暗喻) for today’s political scandals (丑聞).www.zxxk.com
【小題1】 How many US TV series are mentioned in this passage?

A.One.B.Two.C.Three.D.Four.
【小題2】 The following statements are the reasons why many people are attracted by US television dramas EXCEPT that __________.
A.US television dramas merely present a past decade
B.directors recreate a historical setting and adopt interesting storylines
C.the dramas can improve their English skills, and help people kill time
D.some TV series are more than pure entertainment, and they have a certain depth
【小題3】 According to Raymond Zhou, Don Draper’s driving a Buick instead of a Cadillac shows __________.
A.Mad Men attaches much importance to details
B.Mad Men places an absorbing plot right in its center
C.the director wants to raise the show’s artistic value
D.Mad Men’s description of the struggling white-collar workers makes it stand out
【小題4】 What does the passage mainly talk about?
A.Directors of US dramas.B.US dramas and their storylines.
C.US period dramas to kill time.D.US dramas and their magic touch.

Driving to a friend’s house on a recent evening, I was attracted by the sight of the full moon rising just above my friend’s rooftop. I stopped to watch it for a few moments, thinking about what a pity it is that most city people --- myself included --- usually miss sights like this because we spend most of our lives indoors.
My friend had also seen it. He grew up living in a forest in Europe, and the moon meant a lot to him then. It had touched much of his life.
I know the feeling. Last December I took my seven-year-old daughter to the mountainous jungle of northern India with some friends. We stayed in a forest rest house with no electricity or running hot water. Our group had campfires outside every night, and indoors when it was too cold outside. The moon grew to its fullest during our trip. Between me and the high mountains lay three or four valleys. Not a light shone in them and not a sound could be heard. It was one of the quietest places I have ever known, a bottomless well of silence. And above me was the full moon, which struck me deeply.
Today our lives are filled with glass, metal, plastic and fiber-glass. We have television, cell phones, pagers, electricity, heaters and ovens and air-conditioners, cars, computers.
Struggling through traffic that evening at the end of a tiring day, most of it spent indoors, I thought, “Before long, I would like to live in a small cottage. There I will grow vegetables and read books and walk in the mountains. And perhaps write, but not in anger. I may become an old man there, and wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled and measure out my life in coffee spoons. But I will be able to walk outside on a cold silent night and touched the moon.”
【小題1】The best title for the passage would be _________.

A.Touched by the Moon 
B.The Pleasures of Modern Life 
C.A Bottomless well of Silence 
D.Break away from Modern life 
【小題2】The writer felt sorry for himself because __________.
A.there was too much pollution. 
B.he failed to see the fullest moon. 
C.he didn’t adapt to modern inventions 
D.there were too many accidents on the road. 
【小題3】What impressed the writer most in the mountainous jungle of northern India?
A.No modern equipment. 
B.Complete silence. 
C.The nice moon. 
D.The high mountain. 
【小題4】Modern things are mentioned mainly to ___________.
A.show that the writer likes city life very much. 
B.tell us that people greatly benefit from modern life. 
C.explain that people have less chances to enjoy nature. 
D.show that we can also enjoy nature at home through them. 
【小題5】The author wrote the passage to __________.
A.express the feeling of returning to nature. 
B.show the love for the moonlight. 
C.a(chǎn)dvise modern people to learn to live. 
D.want to communicate longing for modern life.

With large and small keyboards everywhere, neither children nor adults need to write much of anything by hand. That’s a big problem. Study after study suggests that handwriting is important for brain development — helping kids get fine motor skills and learn to express and create ideas. Yet the time devoted to teaching penmanship in most schools has shrunk to just one hour a week. Is it time to give up handwriting? Have a look at the link between the brain and penmanship, and you may get the answer.
A test among students in grades 2, 4 and 6 found that they not only wrote faster by hand than by keyboard, but also created more ideas when composing essays with handwriting. And other research shows that the finger movements required to write by hand activate brain areas involved with thought, language, and short-term memory.
A recent Indiana University study had one group of children practice writing letters by hand while a second group just looked at those letters. Then, both groups of kids entered a functional MRI (核磁共振) that scanned their brains as the researchers showed them the same letters. Researchers found that the brain activity in the first group was far more advanced and “adult-like”.
Handwriting also affects other people’s way they think of adults and children. Several studies have shown that the same average essay will score much higher if written with good penmanship and much lower if written out in poor handwriting. These studies have also found that people judge the quality of a person’s ideas based on his or her handwriting. And the consequences are real: On standardized tests with handwritten sections, like the SAT, all essay that is considered hard to recognize gets a big zero.
Studies show that this isn’t only an English-language phenomenon. Chinese and Japanese youths are suffering from “character amnesia”. They can’t remember how to write characters, thanks to computers and text messaging. Some experts fear that Chinese writing and reading are so closely linked in the brain that China’s reading ability as a nation could suffer.
【小題1】According to the passage, it can be learned that ________________.

A.many researches have been done on handwriting
B.essays can’t be composed without handwriting
C.a(chǎn)ll children write faster by keyboard than by hand
D.most schools are trying to teach more handwriting
【小題2】What does the Indiana University study imply?
A.Children should practice writing letters
B.Handwriting can increase brain activity
C.It’s good for children to enter a functional MRI.
D.Letters should often be shown to children
【小題3】What does the 4th paragraph mainly talk about?
A.Handwriting affects both adults and children.
B.Handwriting helps a person write better essays.
C.SAT should be done with good handwriting.
D.Good handwriting makes a person seem smarter.
【小題4】Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A.Essays written with keyboards will get lower scores.
B.The quality of your ideas depends on your handwriting.
C.Chinese and Japanese youths don’t know how to write.
D.Less handwriting may affect China’s reading ability.
【小題5】The passage tries to tell us that __________________.
A.keyboards are more popular than handwriting
B.we shouldn’t judge people by their handwriting
C.handwriting is of great importance
D.it’s time to give up using keyboards

By 2050 there will have been an extra 2.5 billion people on earth. And what will they eat?
To solve the problem, we should have to double our food production. We can also develop a diet of algae(海藻), insects and meat grown in laboratories.
Algae can grow very quickly at sea, in polluted water and in places that would normally kill food crops. They are already eaten widely in Japan and China and they are eaten by almost everything from shrimps to blue whales. They can fix CO2 in the atmosphere and provide fats and sugars.
Man-made meat looks like meat, feels like meat and it is meat, although it’s never been from a living, breathing animal. Instead, it is grown from cells in big containers. Moreover, studies show that producing man-made meat will use far less water, energy and land.
China has developed “green super rice”, a series of rice types which produce more grain and have stronger ability to fight against floods, salty water, insects and disease. We used traditional plant breeding(作物育種)techniques to cross-breed more than 250 rice types. Green super rice, which is enough to feed an extra 100 million people, will be planted widely in the coming years.
Insects like ants are not on most European menus but at least 1,400 kinds are eaten across Africa, Latin America and Asia. Now, with rising food prices and worldwide land shortages, such insects are getting more and more popular. Not only are many insects rich in protein(蛋白質(zhì)), low in fat and high in Ca and Fe, but insect farms need little space. And they can grow well on paper, algae and industrial wastes.
【小題1】In order to exist in the future, people have to _______.

A.move to other planets
B.produce rain in laboratories
C.build new laboratories for food research
D.increase the food production or look for other food sources
【小題2】From the second paragraph we know that _______
A.a(chǎn)lgae have a strong life force
B.few people eat algae now
C.a(chǎn)lgae have few values for human beings
D.a(chǎn)lgae can pollute our environment
【小題3】Green super rice _______
A.has to be watered with salty water
B.can grow even in a bad environment
C.includes no more than 250 rice kinds
D.was developed with new technologies
【小題4】What can we learn from the passage?
A.Green super rice is delicious but high in price.
B.In Asia about 100 million people may be faced with food shortages.
C.Man-made meat doesn’t look like meat but has the same taste as real meat.
D.One of the reasons why many people begin to eat insects is their rich food value.
