Traditional Japanese food is surely one of the healthiest and most delicious in

题型:不详难度:来源:
Traditional Japanese food is surely one of the healthiest and most delicious in the world, and fortunately for most of us, foods like tofu, sushi and even green tea are now familiar and can be found easily out of Japan. As a national cuisine(烹饪), thanks to many social as well as political changes, Japanese food has greatly developed over the past few centuries. In ancient times, when much of the traditional cuisine was influenced by Korean and Chinese cultures, Japanese cuisine slowly changed with the start of the medieval(中世纪的)period, which brought along with it new tastes.
With the coming of the modern age, a great many changes took place and the Japanese cuisine was influenced greatly by Western culture. However, the traditional Japanese food of today is still very like what existed toward the end of the 19th century. This would mean that a large part of the Japanese cuisine includes those foods whose cooking methods and ingredients(原料)have been introduced from other cultures, but which have since then been experimented with and developed by the Japanese themselves.
The thing about Japanese food is that you either will love it or will completely look down upon it. With traditional Japanese food, there is no such thing as an in-between. However, chances are that if you hate Japanese food, then you probably haven’t even tasted real Japanese food or you simply haven’t given yourself the chance to like it. Unlike other cuisines, Japanese food is not something that you will appreciate after having only a bite. Like wines and cigars, Japanese food needs time to be liked.

February has long been a month of romance(浪漫). With the sweet smell of roses in the air, romantic films hit cinemas and love stories fill newspapers and magazines.
On the 14th day, it is a custom for a boy to take his girlfriend out to dinner, buy her flowers and chocolates, write poems, sing to her or even spell out her name with rose petals! This is what you see on Valentine’s Day, a day named after Valentine who was a priest(牧师) in the third century Rome. When the emperor (皇帝) decided that single men could become better soldiers than those with wives, he didn’t allow marriage. But Valentine continued to perform(主持) marriage ceremonies(典礼) for young lovers in secret. When his actions were discovered, the emperor sentenced him to death. While in prison(监狱), it is said that Valentine fell in love with the daughter of his prison guard. Before his death, he wrote her a letter, which he signed (签名)“From your Valentine”, an expression that is still  in use today. Valentine died for what he believed in and so he was made a Saint (圣徒), as well as becoming one of history’s most romantic characters.
Nowadays, Valentine’s Day is also popular among Chinese young people. Some students are planning to make Valentine’s cards for parents, teachers and friends. Others want to hold parties at which they will exchange small gifts and eat heart-shaped(心形的) cakes. The idea is to have fun and encourage people to share in the spirit of St. Valentine.
小题1:Why did the emperor in Rome not allow marriage in his country?
A.Because there were few women in his country at that time.
B.Because he wanted to control the birth rate.
C.Because there wasn’t enough food for so many people.
D.Because he thought men without wives could be better soldiers.
小题2:Valentine was put into prison because ______.
A.he killed one of the soldiers
B.he didn’t obey the emperor’s order
C.he stole a lot of food
D.he didn’t want to be a soldier
小题3:The last paragraph mainly tells us ______.
A.students in China send cards to their teachers
B.Valentine’s Day is also popular in China now
C.it is interesting to celebrate Valentine’s Day in China
D.it is a good idea to celebrate Valentine’s Day in China

A Korean wave is sweeping across China, with many Chinese women worshipping South Korean actors Kim Soo Hyun and Lee Min Ho as demigods (半神半人). Chinese netizens have always been divided over South Korean TV dramas, but there is no doubt that programs from the neighboring country are now enjoying a new round of popularity in China. And a big part of the credit for that goes to You Who Came From The Star, the South Korean TV series which is on the air now.
Top South Korean actors Jun Ji-hyun and Kim Soo Hyun recently earned a popularity rating of 24.8 percent in their country, considered strong by Nielsen Korea. You Who Came From The Star and The Heirs have been subjects of hot online discussions throughout Asia. Besides, the book, The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane, read by the hero in You Who Came From The Star was a hard-to-get item on Amazon for a while.
The two TV programs have several common elements: a tall, handsome, and rich hero who loves the heroine blindly and always protects her, and an equally handsome man madly in love with the same woman. Both programs portray the purity of love, which is expressed through a kiss or a warm hug. Perhaps that’s the secret of their success; perhaps people are still fascinated by Cinderella-type stories.
The growing wealth gap is a matter of social concern both in South Korea and China, and the challenges that young people face in their search for a better life might have prompted (激起) many ordinary girls to dream of marrying rich, caring men. This is precisely what the popular South Korean TV dramas portray. In fact, South Korean TV dramas are tailored to meet the market’s demands.
In contrast, Chinese TV screens are flooded by knock-off (山寨) or poorly made soap operas. There are too many Chinese TV dramas that are either of the stereotyped (刻板的) war theme or just blindly copy foreign programs. The lack of good stories has resulted in loads of TV series on time travel or fights in the harems (后宫) of Qing Dynastyemperors. These, in short, are the pain of Chinese TV productions.
The shooting for South Korean productions generally starts when the scripts (脚本) are just one-third ready. Many popular productions have their own websites, where scriptwriters post part of the finished scripts, inviting viewers to leave messages, discuss the plot and come up with suggestions for future events. This not only keeps viewers’ interest in the TV dramas alive, but also helps scriptwriters and directors make changes to the storylines to suit the audience’s demand.
Hopefully, the innovation-induced (创新引导的) success of South Korean TV programs will prompt Chinese TV drama makers to think up new ideas and abandon their bad practice of copying foreign productions in order to attract more viewers at home, and possibly abroad.
小题1:The main point the author emphasizes in this passage is ________.
A.why Korean actors are more popular than Chinese actors
B.how the three Korean actors became famous around East Asia
C.what modern TV dramas need is not copying foreign programs but innovation
D.the Cinderella-type stories are an ever-lasting theme people are fascinated with
小题2:Which of the following best explains people’s favor for The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane?
A.The celebrity effect is powerful.
B.Drama stars are the best advertisements.
C.Rich and handsome heroes in dramas usually love reading.
D.A successful drama generally originates from a good novel.
小题3:According to the passage, the secret to Korean TV dramas’ being successful is that ________.
A.drama stars must be tall, rich and handsome or beautiful
B.scriptwriters should choose the appropriate themes for all viewers
C.drama producers have creative ideas to adapt to viewers’ interest and demand
D.people’s concerns such as wealth gap both in Korea and China are taken good care of
小题4:What does the last paragraph imply?
A.Abandoning copying foreign productions is the only way to attract viewers.
B.The Chinese TV drama makers should follow in the footsteps of the Koreans.
C.It’s hard to predict what the future TV dramas in China and Korea will be like.
D.A bright future of Chinese TV dramas can be expected prompted by the Koreans.

Finland (芬兰) is perhaps the most beautiful and mysterious country of Northern Europe. Two-thirds of its surface is covered with thick forests. Relative to its size, Finland has more lakes than any other country. The northern part of this country is inside the Arctic Circle, where almost no trees can grow because of its cold weather and the people use their deer of transport, clothing and food.
The Finnish history began in the Middle Ages. In about 1155, Finland was conquered (侵略) by its western neighbor Sweden (瑞典). After a period of rule by Denmark (丹麦) in the 14th century, the Swedes won back independence and power in 1523 under their brave king. During the Napoleonic (拿破仑的) Wars (1804-1818) Finland was passed finally from Sweden to Russia. The opportunity came in 1917, when the Russian Revolution brought foreign rule of Finland to an end. Shortly after Soviet Russia made peace with Germany, 1919 saw the founding of the Finnish Republic.
The years between the First and Second World Wars were years of progress and growing development. Finland is the fifth largest country in Europe, and despite a relatively small population of 5.2 million, the market potential is much greater. Finland has no coal or oil, and the nation’s wealth lies in the timber from its forests, which supplies material for paper and furniture making, and in the electric power from its water. Finland is an excellent gateway to trading with Russia and the Baltic States because of a long history of trading with these marks. Finland has also enjoyed a strong and long-Finland’s accession to the European Union in January 1995.
小题1:From the passage, we learn that Finland _______.
A.lies inside the Arctic Circle
B.lies east of Sweden
C.is next to the countries of northern Europe
D.is entirely covered with forests and lakes
小题2:Finland must have been under the control of _______ for as long as one hundred years or so.
A.Russia B.DenmarkC.SwedenD.foreign countries
小题3:Among natural resources, the Finnish people benefit mainly from _______.
A.coal and oilB.forests and waterC.paper and furnitureD.timber and power industry
小题4:What does the underlined word “timber” probably mean?
A.Fruits.B.Wood.C.Animals.D.Money.

What is a six-letter word that immediately comes to mind when you need some information on the Internet? You probably thought of Google. But Google wasn’t always the name of the famous search engine. In fact, the original name was BackRub!
BackRub was the name two graduate students gave to the new search engine they developed in 1996. They called it BackRub because the engine used backlinks to measure the popularity of Web sites. Later, they wanted a better name — a name that suggests huge quantities of data. They thought of the word googol. (A googol is a number followed by 100 zeros.) When they checked the Internet registry of names to see if googol was already taken, one of the students misspelled the word by mistake, and that’s how Google was born.
Google is just one example of a name change in the business world. Many other companies have decided to change their names or the names of their products. Here are some more examples:
Jerry Yang and David Filo, two young computer specialists, developed a guide to Internet content in 1994. They called it “Jerry and David’s Guide to World Wide Web.” But they soon realized that this wasn’t a very catchy name, so they searched through a dictionary and found a better one: “Yahoo.”
Sometimes companies change their names because of the popularity of one of their products. In 1962, a young runner named Phil Knight started a company called Blue Ribbon Sports. In 1971, Knight decided to design and manufacture his own brand of shoes. He named the shoes after the Greek goddess of victory — Nike. Nike shoes became so well known that Knight changed the name of the whole company to Nike.
小题1:According to the text, Google       .
A.has been famous since 1996
B.is a result of a spelling mistake
C.means a number followed by 100 zeros
D.is the original name of the search engine
小题2:Jerry and David changed the guide’s name to Yahoo because the original name        .
A.had been registeredB.had been forgotten
C.was not attractiveD.was too short
小题3:The company Nike got its name from        .
A.its foundersB.its customers
C.its popular productsD.its advanced techniques
小题4:Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.The name changesB.The history of Google
C.How to choose a name?D.Why are names important?

HE is one of the most charming young heroes since Harry Potter. Like Potter, he is chosen by fate to carry out a mission, but unlike the boy wizard, he doesn’t get any chances to have fun or hang out with friends because he’s a little too busy preparing to lead during an upcoming war to save the Earth.
Meet Ender Wiggin, 15, the main character of the hit US sci-fi movie Ender’s Game (《安德的游戏》), which will come out on Jan 7 in China.
The story opens in 2086, 50 years after an insect-like alien race, called the Formics, attacked the Earth and killed tens of millions of people before being driven back to their home planet. Since then, human beings have been in a state of fear, awaiting a second attack.
Earth’s military leaders seek young warriors to risk going into space for battle, and children are taught to compete for these positions. As the film explains, youths can make leaps of logic and intuition, devising effective attack strategies more quickly than adults.
So here comes Ender, the savior (救世主) of all mankind. Though Ender is a skinny kid, smaller than most, he is also smarter than average. He tends to analyze situations and easily find ways to achieve the most positive outcomes. This rare gift makes him stand out in the program and get promoted to the Battle School, where he is directed to plan and carry out a series of virtual attacks on the Formics.
Can he use his military talents to wipe out Earth’s enemies?
Despite the obvious “be all you can be” subtext (潜台词), the movie “explores complex issues, including the consequences of violence and maintaining humanity and morality during wartime with intelligence and insight,” commented Yahoo.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film best presents the power of empathy (感情移入), which is what makes Ender a good leader. “The reason Ender succeeds is because he understands what makes his opponents tick (有某种行为) on the battlefield,” explained the entertainment news site.
小题1:The underlined words “a mission” in the first paragraph probably refer to “______”.
A.having fun and hanging out with friends
B.being a boy wizard to save the Earth
C.working to save all of mankind
D.acting as a leader of the Formics
小题2:Earth’s military leaders want to choose youths to be warriors because they think ______.
A.youths are smarter and more fearless than adults
B.youths are more willing to take risks in space
C.youths have sharper intuition and quicker reactions than adults
D.youths adapt to new battle environments more quickly than adults
小题3:Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?
A.The movie intends to encourage people to try to be what they want to be and never give up.
B.Ender is able to defeat Earth’s enemies because he possesses a super power that enables him to read his enemies’ minds.
C.Ender’s success proves that a good leader should have intelligence and insight and make full use of his or her teammates’ talents.
D.The movie discusses a variety of issues such as the effects of violence and the importance of morality and humanity during wartime.
