Many animals recognize their food because they see it. So do humans. When you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat. You can also use other senses when you choose your food. You may like it because it smells good or because it tastes good. You may dislike some types of food because they do not look, smell or taste very nice. Different animals use different senses to find and choose their food. A few animals depend on only one of their senses, while most animals use more than one sense.
Although there are many different types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. The giant panda eats only one particular type of bamboo. Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the choice. A kind of white butterfly will stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden. However, most animals have a more varied diet. The bear eats fruits and fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The diet of these animals will be different depending on the season.
Humans have a very varied diet. We often eat food because we like it and not because it is good for us. In countries such as France and Britain, people eat foods with too much sugar. This makes them overweight, which is bad for their health. Eating too much red meat and animal products, such as butter, can also be bad for the health. Choosing the right food, therefore, has become an area of study in modern life.We can infer from the text that humans and animals _____.
| A．Humans and animals eat entirely different food |
| B．Humans and animals are not satisfied with their food |
| C．Humans and animals choose food in similar ways |
| D．Humans and animals depend on one sense in choosing food |
What does the underlined word “varied” mean?
| A．各种各样的 | B．丰富的 | C．好吃的 | D．时令的 |
Which of the following eats only one type of food?
| A．The small bird . | B．The bear. | C．The white butterfly | D．The fox. |
We can learn from the last paragraph that _______________.
| A．some people have few choices of food |
| B．some people care little about healthy diet |
| C．French and British food is good |
| D．Modern people should spend a lot of time choosing their food |
What is the best title for this passage?
| A．Like animals, like humans | B．The more to choose, the more to eat |
| C．Good choice, healthy diet | D．Good taste, good for health |
Two traveling angels stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family. The family was rude and refused to let the angels stay in the guestroom. Instead the angels were given some space in the cold basement. As they made their bed on the hard floor, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it. When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied, "Things aren't always what they seem."
The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very hospitable (好客的) farmer. After sharing a little food they had, the farmer and his wife let the angels sleep in their bed where they could have a good night's rest. When the sun came up the next morning, the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears. Their only cow, whose milk had been their only income, lay dead in the field.
The younger angel was very angry and asked the older angel, "How could this happen?" "Why didn't you watch out for the cow? The first family had everything, yet you watched over his house," she accused (谴责). "The second family had little but was willing to share everything, you didn't help."
"Things aren't always what they seem," the angel replied. "When we stayed in the basement, I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. Since the owner was so greedy and unwilling to share his good fortune, I asked God if I could seal the wall so he wouldn't find it. Then last night as we slept in the farmer's bed, the angel of death came for his wife. I asked God if the angel could take the cow instead. So things aren't always what they seem."

| A．Because she was sympathetic to the rich |
| B．Because she wanted to save the farmer's wife. |
| C．Because God wanted the older angel to take the cow. |

Frank Smithson woke up and leaned over to turn off the alarm clock. “Oh，no!”he thought to himself.“Another day at that office；a boss who shouts at me all the time.”
As Frank went downstairs his eyes fell on a large brown envelope by the door. He was overjoyed when he opened it and read the letter inside. “Bigwoods Football Pools would like to congratulate you. You have won half a million pounds.”

People at home keep asking me, "Is it hard to learn Chinese? Why have you learned it so well?" Well, there's one thing that makes Chinese easy to learn: there are so many people to talk to. You've probably heard that it's the most spoken language. Today it's also one of the most written languages online. And with so many Chinese people interested in learning English, it couldn't be easier to find a friend for language learning. You just have to know where to look for them.
The really good place to look for them is QQ. QQ has the same status(地位) in China as AIM (AOL Instant Messenger) does in the US. It is reported that at any moment, up to 9,000,000 people are using QQ. They're at work, or in a web café(网吧), or at home, and the information of the users can be found. If you sign on with your address set to "abroad", you'll soon find that many thousands of them are interested in speaking to you! This is a great way for you to learn Chinese, and for them to learn English. I think that it's a very interesting way of cultural contact(文化交流), too, for ordinary people from around the world to be able to have one-on-one contact. In the first paragraph(段落), the writer tells us ___________.
| A．why his family members want to learn Chinese |
| B．where you can find people to talk to for language learning |
| C．the easiest thing to do is learning Chinese |
| D．Chinese isn’t so hard to learn as his friends think |

Offices, web cafes and homes ____________.

| B．provide both QQ and AIM in China |
| C．are the best places for English learners |
| D．have the most people online |
The writer wrote this passage mainly to __________.
| A．tell a way of learning Chinese |
| B．show what the Chinese people are doing |
| C．tell the important of learning Chinese |
| D．show the difference between AIM and QQ |
The writer of this passage is probably ___________.
