Passage One

Warm scones(茶饼)served with cream and jam, small sandwiches, delicious cakes, tea served in a fine china cup. It is 4 p.m. and time for afternoon tea. It is said that afternoon tea started in England in the 1840s with Anna, the 7th Duchess of Bedford. At that time, people only ate two meals a day. In the late afternoon, the duchess would get hungry. So around 4 o’clock, she scheduled tea and cakes to be brought to her room. This custom soon became popular among the wealthy. Afternoon tea used to be a social event for ladies. But both men and women now enjoy it. For afternoon tea, men can wear nice pants and a collared shirt; for ladies, this is the perfect opportunity to dress up. 

You can enjoy afternoon tea in many places in England. But notice the following manners for afternoon tea: 

If using milk, add it to the teacup before the tea is poured. Never add lemon when using milk.  Never stick out your pinky(小指) while drinking. While drinking, take small, quiet sips. Never blow on your tea even if it is too hot.Never leave the spoon in the cup. Place it on the saucer to the side of the cup.  Keep your napkin on your lap.

Passage Two

A friend of mine named Paul received an automobile from his brother as a Christmas present .On Christmas Eve, when Paul came out of his office, a teenge boy was looking around the shining new car, admiring it. “Is this your car , Mister?” he said. Paul nodded, “My brother gave it to me for Christmas.” The boy was shocked, “You mean your brother gave it to you, and didn’t cost you anything?” “Sir, I wish…” he hesitated. Of course Paul knew what he was wishing for. He wished he had a brother like that. But what the boy said jarred Paul all the way down his heels. “I wish,” the boy went on, “that I could be a brother like that.” Paul looked at the boy in astonishment, and suddenly he added, “Would you like to take a ride in my car?”        “Oh, yes. I’d love that.” the boy said. After a short ride, the boy asked, “Mister, would you mind driving in front of my house?” Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbors that he could ride home in a big automobile. But Paul was wrong again.       “Would you stop at those with two steps?” the boy asked. He ran up stairs. Then in a little while, Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled [跛的] brother. He set him down on the bottom step. Then he squeezed up against him and pointed to the car.       “There she is, brother, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and didn’t cost him a cent. And some day, I will give you one just like it. Then you can see for yourself all the prettiest things in the windows that I was trying to tell you about.”       Paul got off and lifted the crippled boy into the front of his car.

Passage Three

When jack Davis, 9, looks up at the night sky, he doesn’t see just the stars. He sees his future. The fourth grader from New Jersey has a deep interest in outer space and the alien(外星的) beings he thinks might live there.      

     In July, Jack heard that NASA was looking for a new planetary protection officer and decided he was the right person for the job. The position, which focuses on preventing astronauts from accidentally bringing extremely small, potentially dangerous alien life-forms back to Earth and ensuring that astronauts do not take Earth-based germs with them into space, pays from $124,406 to $187,000 per year.          Jack wrote a letter to NASA, noting his qualifications for the job. “My sister says I am an alien,” Jack wrote, pointing out that since he is young, he can “learn to think like an alien.” He signed the letter “Jack Davis, Guardian of the Galaxy.” Within days, Jack received a personal letter from NASA’s planetary science director, James L. Green. “We are always looking for bright future scientists and engineers to help us,” Green wrote.”I hope you will study hard and do well in school. We hope to see you here at NASA one of these days!” 

      Jack said he was “shocked” when Green’s response arrived. “I shouted, I got a letter from NASA!” 

      Green says he loves to answer letters from children. He calls his response a “gravity assist.” Spacecraft use gravity assistance from objects like planets and moons to help power the craft toward another celestial(天上的) body. Green hopes a reply can influence a person’s path in life in a similar way.

Passage Four

Online dating has just been revealed to be one of the most common ways to start a relationship. But new research reveals that the concept is still highly flawed(有缺陷的). An analysis of 400 studies into online dating shows that while it offers access to plenty of other singles, users can be overwhelmed and put off by the volume of choice, defeating the purpose.  

     The research, by Northwestern University and published in the journal Psychological Science in the public interest, found that the processes involved don’t lend themselves to forming strong relationships. The findings also indicated that the concept of an online profile(介绍) is not entirely useful and “can result in treating potential partners as mere objects”.     

     Lead author Eli J Finkel explained: “Online dating is a terrific addition for singles to meet. However, there are two problems.” First, studying over seemingly endless lists of profiles of people one does not know, as on Match.com, does not reveal much about them. Second, it “overloads people and they end up shutting down,” he said. 

      He compared it to shopping at “supermarkets of love” and said psychological research shows people presented with too many choices tend to make lazy and often poor decisions. The study’s authors also questioned the algorithms(算法) employed by sites such as eHarmony.com to match people based on their interests or personality—comparing it to having a real estate agent of love. While the algorithm may reduce the number of potential partners from thousands to a few, they may be as unsuitable for each other as two people meeting at random, Dr Finkel explained, adding the chances are no better than finding a relationship by walking into any bar. “There’s no better way to figure out whether you’re a match with somebody than talking to them over a coffee or beer,” Dr Finkel said.

26.What is the author’s attitude towards online dating? 

A.NegativeB. PositiveC.Indifferent D. Neutral

【答案】A  

【解析】根据文章“But new research reveals that the concept is still highly flawed”可以得出答案。

27.According to Paragraph 2, online dating _____ 

A.Attracts a limited number of singlesB. Has been widely studied recently 

C.Is criticized as lacking a purpose D. Offers too many choice

【答案】D 

【解析】根据文章“An analysis of 400 studies into online dating shows that while it offers access to plenty of other singles, users can be overwhelmed and put off by the volume of choice, defeating the purpose.”可以得出答案。 

28.The phrase “lend themselves to”(Para.3) probably means _____ 

A.Be opposed to B. Be easily used for

C.Be happy with D. Be consistent with 

【答案】B 

【解析】根据文章“Psychological Science in the public interest, found that the processes involved don’t lend themselves to forming strong relationships.”可以得出答案。 

29.Why is Dr. Finkel mentioned in the passage?

A.He is the lead researcher of the study on online dating 

B.He is a well-know professor at Northwestern University 

C.He is an expert in analyzing people’s shopping patterns 

D.He is the president of a famous online matching website 

【答案】A 

【解析】根据文章“Lead author Eli J Finkel explained: “Online dating is a terrific addition for singles to meet. However, there are two problems.””可以得出答案。
