【題目】 Do you know when and where ice cream was created? It has a long and interesting history.

The earliest ice cream was eaten in China many centuries ago. People at that time would put orange juice on the ice or get something cool to drink. Later,this idea traveled to Italy. Around 1660, it was popular to serve ice cream in coffee shops in Paris.Most of the shops were owned by Italians.Among them, the first successful one belonged to a man named Francesco Procopius.

Ice cream was brought to America in the early 1700s, and it quickly became the favorite of Americans. President George Washington had ice cream pots（罐）and machines in his kitchen.Dolly Madison, the wife of President Madison,was the first one to serve it in the White House. She made her guests very happy when she served such desserts.

Before ice cream was sold in stores, it was made and kept at a very low temperature first. It took a lot of work to mix cream, eggs, fruit and ice. Nancy Johnson, an American woman who was good at machines, invented the ice cream freezer in 1846. Five years later. Jacob Flu sell opened the first ice cream factory in Baltimore, Maryland.Her business quickly came to other states.

Today in the United States, ice cream is not only a kind of food, but also a way of life.

本文介紹了冰激凌的發(fā)展歷史以及前景。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第2段第1和2句“The earliest ice cream was eaten in China many centuries ago. People at that time would put orange juice on the ice or get something cool to drink.( 中國(guó)最早的冰淇淋是在許多世紀(jì)以前吃的。那時(shí)的人們會(huì)把橙汁放在冰上或者喝點(diǎn)涼的東西。)”可知最早的冰激凌是加橙汁的冰激凌或是涼飲料；故選A。

【題目】 How would you ask your parents to support your dream? American actress Emma Stone created a PowerPoint presentation (陳述) to get her parents’ support.

Stone is a rising star in Hollywood. She played the role of Gwen Stacy, Spider-Man’s high school love, in two Spider-Man movies.

The actress said her character was like the girl’s in the film. “Gwen is clear on what she wants to do with her life. I think I am just like her.”

Stone made up her mind to become an actress at the age of 15. But would her parents agree to her leaving school early and realizing her dream? The young girl decided to use the presentation to help her. “I used a lot of computers when I was young, and my dad’s a businessman, so I just thought a presentation is the way to get support,” she said.

The presentation is called Project Hollywood and she used pop singer Madonna’s classic song Hollywood in it, saying “just please let me move to LA to be an actress.”

Her method proved to be a success. In 2004, Stone dropped out of high school and moved with her mother to Los Angeles. She began to study at home after that.

Now Stone is a successful actress with many films to her name. Her next step is to try different things like strange comedies.

【題目】 Do you still remember the debate(討論) between sweet and salty zongzi during Dragon Boat Festival? It seems that the differences between northerners and southerners have always been a popular topic among Chinese. Now another difference has drawn wide attention: The way northerners and southerners shop for food at markets.

People from southern China might say they prefer to buy what they need for just one or two meals. It is normal for them to buy just half a Chinese cabbage, two potatoes and 0.25 kilograms of beef at a time.

However, one may be laughed at if he does this in the north. Instead, buying vegetables and meat enough for a week is usual, reported China Daily.

Also, when you go to the market in the south, you can buy a small amount of fruit, such as an apple or pear. Shop owners even help you peel and cut them. But hardly do shop owners in the north offer such service.

The difference could be because of the different weather.

Food can be kept for a long time in the north, as it is usually cold and dry there. Many northerners have the habit of stocking up（儲(chǔ)存）on food.

But because of the hot and wet weather in the south, southern Chinese prefer to buy just enough food for one meal or one day. Otherwise, the food may go bad.

Maybe these debates about differences help us Chinese know more about each other.

【1】Give the article a title.(within 9 words)____________________________________.

【2】People from south buy_____________ than those in north at a time.

【3】The ways of shopping are different in the two aspects(方面): ________and ________.

【4】________________________causes the difference.

【5】According to the writer, the advantage (好處) of these debates is possibly to________.

【題目】 In 1992, a group of architects(建筑師)and engineers in Seattle had collected hundreds of canned goods for charity. “We wanted to give back to the community,” said Deborah Ashcraft, organizer for the Construction project. Volunteers also wanted to have some “creative fun,” so they used the cans to create a huge map of the State of Washington.

Today Construction has thousands of volunteers across the United States and Canada, for the purpose of creating a world without hunger. Construction members build their delicious artwork in shopping areas and museums.

In some cities, such as Tampa Bay, Florida, Construction artists are made up of school kids, “Our class built a Wurlitzer organ(風(fēng)琴)out of cans,” said Jasmine Heaggans, a student at Lanier Elementary. “We based ours on the 77-year-old organ at the Tampa Theater.”

Beginning in September, architects Danni Anstett and Danielle Williams visited class weekly. After a field trip to see the real Wurlitzer, the architects showed the class how to draw pictures of the organ from all sides. They instructed students to do a plan view. And they helped the young artists count up how many cans would be used.

On October 24, Construction workers from Lanier and three other Tampa Bay schools gathered at the local shopping area to build and display their artworks. The students got to stack (堆)cans. With 1,800 cans, Lanier students had nine hours to get the Wurlitzer ready for the judges.

“The cans had to be perfectly stacked,” student Courtney Keenam recalled, “or everything would fall.”

After four hours, the students were feeling pretty good. The organ was taking shape. Then the kids had an “uh-oh” moment. The cans were facing the wrong way. They had to be turned around.

At last, the Wurlitzer stood shiny and tall, just in time for the judges to name it “most creative.”

【1】What is the aim of the Construction project?

A.To sell canned food.B.To end world hunger.

C.To bring people much fun.D.To build better communities.

【2】How did Anstett and Williams help the young volunteers?

A.By helping design the artwork.B.By building an organ with cans.

C.By drawing pictures of an organ.D.By offering them a real Wurlitzer organ.

【3】Why did the students come together on October 24?

A.To collect cans used by the shopping area.B.To do volunteer work for the shopping area.

C.To enter a can building competition.D.To get more people to join Construction.

【4】What does “it” in the last paragraph refer to?

A.The real Wurlitzer organ.B.The 77-year-old organ at the Tampa Theater.

C.The huge map of the State of Washington.D.The Wurlitzer organ built out of cans.

【題目】 The holiday season will be here soon, and with it come tons of parties. Here's how to mind your manners at the dinner table:

First things first:

Mind the little details. Respond to invitations in time; it's always better to be overdressed; be fashionably on time; bring a gift for your host or hostess; and remember to silence your phone and keep it out of sight.

After you sit down:

The first thing you should do is place your napkin（餐巾）in your lap. Leave it there until the end of the meal. If you excuse yourself from the table, the most common practice is to place it on your seat until you return. If you're worried that your napkin has food on it that could make the seat or your clothes dirty when you sit back down, place it to the left of your plate instead.

To locate your bread plate and drink:

When in doubt, look to your hands. With your palms（手掌）facing each other, connect the tip of each pointer finger（食指）with your thumbs(拇指）. You'll see that your left hand will form a "b", and your right hand, a "d". These stand for "bread" and "drink", which you will find to your left and to your right, separately.

What to do with utensils（餐具）：

Your safest bet is to start from the outside-the utensils farthest from your plate-and move inward as the meal progresses. However, dessert（甜點(diǎn)）utensils may also be found above your plate.

Resting utensils:

If you are taking a break from eating, imagine your plate is a clock and place your knife and fork down at the 3 o'clock position. You can show that you are finished eating by placing your utensils in the 10 and 4 o'clock positions.

After the party:

Don't forget a thank-you note. It should be sent within two weeks after the event.

【1】When attending a dinner at someone's home, you are advised to ________.

A.prepare a gift for the person who is hosting it

B.avoid being overly dressed up

C.thank the host or hostess for the invitation

D.turn your mobile phone off at the dinner table

【2】Where should you place your napkin when you get up from the table?

A.Under your plate.B.On your plate.

C.To the left of the plate.D.Over the back of your chair.

【3】What is normally put to your right side on the table?

A.Dessert utensils.B.Bread plate.C.Napkin.D.Drink.

【4】To show you have finished eating, you can place your utensils in the ________ position.

A.1 o'clockB.3 o'clockC.4 o'clockD.9 o'clock
