When Emma first announced about a month ago that she wanted to cut off all her hair, I cried. Not in front of her, of course. In front of her ,1 asked why and then told her to find a picture on the Internet that she could show to a hairdresser. And then I went to the shower and cried. I cried not because she wanted to cut her long hair, but because she wanted to “cut it all off like a boy”. For some reason，that was the straw (稻草)that broke the dam. Emma hasn’t worn dresses since she was two. She hates them. Now, at ten, she’s usually wearing mesh(网状）shorts and a packers T-shirt or jersey(运动衫)一or something old and stained and acquired for free. When she’s “dressing up” she wears skinny jeans and a plaid(格子图案的)button-down with her black and green Converse high-tops. I admit her fashion sense has always made me a little sad. When I found out I was having a girl, I ran home and painted the nursery two shades of pink while fantasies of girls’ weekends and shopping trips were dancing in my head .I’d teach her how to do her hair and paint her nails. I couldn’t wait to start the journey with my very own mini-me. But it turns out you don’t give birth to dolls, and instead of a mini-me. I got a completely separate and independent human being with ideas and dreams of her own. And yes, that made me a little sad. It also makes me extremely proud, although I’ve fought hard against the label tomboy(假小子). I’ve always been in the pride of my daughter’s strong sense of self and amazed at how early it developed. 6tShe9s been refusing dresses since before she could speak!” 【1】What was the writer’s straw that broke the dam?

If you ever find yourself trapped in the wilderness without food, you'll have to figure out how to feed yourself. Many plants in the wild are edible, but many are also poisonous. So it is necessary to learn how to determine whether the plants you find can be eaten safely. Avoid using this method without careful planning. Some plants can be deadly, and even if you follow these guidelines perfectly, there is always a chance that a plant will make you seriously ill. Prepare yourself for wilderness outings by learning about the local plants, and carry a guidebook to help you identify plants. Even if you are unprepared and cannot find food you know to be safe, remember that, depending on your activity level, the human body can go for days without food, and you’re better off being hungry than being poisoned. Testing the plant in your mouth is dangerous, so go forward very slowly and carefully. First, hold a small portion of the prepared plant part against your lip for 3 minutes. Do not put the plant in your mouth. If you notice any burning, tingling (刺痛), or other reactions, discontinue testing. Second, place another small portion of the plant part on your tongue. Hold the plant on your tongue without chewing for 15 minutes. Discontinue testing if you notice any reaction. Third, chew the plant and hold it in your mouth for 15 minutes. Chew the plant well, and do not swallow. Discontinue testing if you notice any reaction. Fourth, swallow the small portion of the plant. Wait 8 hours. Do not eat or drink anything during this period except purified water. If you feel sick, immediately throw up what you eat and drink plenty of water. If activated charcoal (活性炭) is available, take that with the water. 【1】What’s the meaning of the underlined world “edible” in paragraph 1? A.Suitable for using as food. B.Widely spread. C.Existing in large quantities. D.Not widely known. 【2】What can we know from paragraph 2? A.Planning is unnecessary when using the method. B.Not all plants in the wild can serve as food generally. C.Suffering hunger can be more dangerous than testing plants. D.Following the method perfectly can ensure safety. 【3】Which is the correct order of testing plants in the mouth? ① wait and see ② chew it in the mouth③ put it on the tongue④ put it against lips ⑤ swallow it A.③④②①⑤ B.④③②①⑤ C.③④②⑤① D.④③②⑤① 【4】Where might the passage come from? A.A student’s diary. B.A science report. C.A guide book for camping. D.A doctor’ s notebook. |

Do you know that nearly every home in America contains a microwave? While microwaves make meals for busy people in several seconds, is microwaving food bad for you? Over the years，this standard household appliance(家用电器）has caused much discussion. Some argue microwaves kill nutrients in your food. Is that really true? In reality, anytime food is exposed to heat, nutrients like vitamin C and some antioxidants (抗氧化剂) can be lost. But this applies to cooking in general, not just when you’re using microwave. As is reported by WHO (World Health Organization), microwaving your food is a safe way to prepare it and it keeps the same level of nutrients as when you cook on a stove top or in the oven(烤箱). When microwaving thicker food like meat products, WHO provides the following suggestions to ensure safe cooking methods: Cooking time will vary depending on the food itself and the power of the microwave, and will also be affected by the density of the item you are heating. Since microwave heating doesn’t evenly(均匀地)go into thick food items, meat that’s not thoroughly cooked may contain harmful microorganisms that make you sick. To kill harmful bacteria when cooking in the microwave, WHO suggests letting your food “rest” for several minutes after you finish warming it to allow the heat to give off throughout the item. If you’re thinking about microwaving your vegetables, Harvard Health Publishing suggests heating your food rapidly, in the shortest amount of time, and as little amount of water as possible. As far as vegetables are concerned, cooking them in water robs them of some of their nutritional value because the nutrients run out into the cooking water," states the report. 【1】What is the purpose of Paragraph 1? A.To attract readers’ interest. B.To summarize the whole passage. C.To describe a memorable experience. D.To introduce the topic of the passage. 【2】What will happen if you cook food in a microwave? A.It will cause certain loss of some nutrients. B.It only breaks the Vitamin C in the vegetables. C.It will affect the flavor of the food. D.It makes food unsafe to be eaten in general. 【3】Which can be ignored when setting the cooking time? A.The size of the food to be cooked. B.The density of the food to be cooked. C.The power of the microwave used. D.The temperature of the surroundings. 【4】How should you microwave vegetables? A.Enough water is needed to wash off the bad bacteria. B.Use as little time as possible to lock the nutrients. C.Cut them into small pieces before putting them in. D.Let them “rest” for several minutes after warming. |
