    Anyone for kimchi(韩国泡菜)? Around 2,000 women made the traditional dish last week in Seoul,the capital of the Republic of Korea(ROK).

    Kimchi traditionally has a rosy color. Korea.net says: “The color red wards off (避开) evil spirits. The color represents the spirit of the Korean people and kimchi is more than just a food. It’s a culture.”
    A meal without kimchi is unthinkable. So what is kimchi?
    Joan Raymond, food writer for US website health.com, writes: “It’s a reddish, fermented (发酵的) cabbage dish , made with a mix of garlic salt, vinegar, chili peppers and other spices.
    It is served at every meal, either along with or mixed with rice and noodles. It is part of a high-fiber, low fat diet, which has kept obesity(肥胖) at bay.”
    Kimchi is used in everything from soups to pancakes and as a topping (配料) on pizza and burgers.
    Health.com named kimchi in its list of the world’s top five healthiest foods as it is rich in vitamins, aids digestion and may even reduce the risk of cancer.
    A study conducted by Seoul National University claimed that chickens infected with the H5N1 virus (bird flu) recovered after eating food containing the same bacteria found in kimchi.
    When Koreans pose for photos, they say “kimchi”, instead of “cheese”.
    小题1:According to the article, which of the following statements is TRUE?
    A．Kimchi contains something that can kill the H5N1 virus.
    B．Kimchi is rated as the healthiest food in the world.
    C．Kimchi is a cultural treasure for Koreans.
    D．Each person eats 40 pounds of kimchi per month.
    小题2:What does the underlined phrase “keep... at bay” mean?
    A．predictB．preventC．overcomeD．develop
    小题3:What does the article mainly talk about?
    A．The nutritional value of kimchi.B．Ways of making kimchi.
    C．The origin of kimchi.D．Kimchi and what it means to Koreans.

    小题1:C
    小题2:B
    小题3:D

    小题1:细节题：从文章的第三段的最后一句话：kimchi is more than just a food. It’s a culture.可以看出泡菜不仅仅是食物，也是文化，从而得出C正确。另外文章只说感染了H5N1病毒的孩子吃了有泡菜的食物好了，没有说泡菜里含有杀死H5N1病毒的东西，所以A不对。文章的句子Health.com named kimchi in its list of the world’s top five healthiest foods as it is rich in vitamins,说明泡菜是最健康的五种食品之一，没有说它是最健康的，所以B也不对，还有文章提到每年每人吃40磅的泡菜，不是每月，D也不对。
    小题2:猜词题，根据前面的：It is part of a high-fiber, low fat diet, 它是富含高纤维，低脂肪的食品，说明能防止肥胖，所以选B。
    小题3:主旨题：文章提到韩国泡菜的种种好处，说明它对韩国人非常重要，选D。

    People celebrate birthdays in almost every country on earth. And they celebrate them in many different ways.
    In China and in Japan, for example, the arrival of New Year is more important than a person’s birthday. So everyone adds a year to celebrate their ages on New Year’s Day, instead of on their birthdays,
    In Brazil, the special birthday food isn’t cake, but special candles. In China, it’s long noodles—for long life. In Iceland, people have pancakes with candies rolled inside them on birthdays.
    In Britain, a birthday is an all-day celebration. At school, the birthday child is lifted up and “bumped” by his classmates. This means the child is lifted by the feet and arms and bumped to the ground, once for each year once for good growth. In Israel, the same custom is followed, except the birthday person is lifted and lowered while sitting in a chair.
    In Holland, children not only get presents, but also give things out. They give cakes, cookies and candles to their classmates and teachers on their birthdays.
    In Mexico, it’s good luck to give birthday greetings as early in the day as possible. So it’s usual for the birthday child to be woken up at midnight by fiends singing birthday songs.
    In India, birthday celebrations also begin before dawn. Prayers and blessings must be said before morning comes.
    In Thailand, two tall candles are lighted the night before the birthday. One is as tall as the birthday person. If it goes out early, it’s bad luck. Another customs of Thailand is that they buy live fish and birds for the birthday person and then the birthday person frees the animals, and it brings good luck.
    In Nigeria, people in a certain age group celebrate their birthdays together, on a certain day.
    In many countries birthday customs are changing. Old customs are giving way to western style of birthdays, with candle topped cakes. But one thing never changes—birthdays are special days for everyone!
    小题1:It’s a custom to lift and lower the birthday person in a chair in _____.

    It is pretty much a one-way street. While it may be common for university researchers to try their luck in the commercial (商业的) world, there is very little traffic in the opposite direction. Pay has always been the biggest deterrent, as people with families often feel they cannot afford the drop in salary when moving to a university job. For some industrial scientists, however, the attractions of academia (学术界) outweigh any financial (金钱的) considerations.
    Helen Lee took a 70％cut in salary when she moved from a senior post in Abbott Laboratories to a medical department at the University of Cambridge. Her main reason for returning to academia mid-career was to take advantage of the greater freedom to choose research questions. Some areas of inquiry have few prospects (前景) of a commercial return, and Lee’s is one of them.
    The influence of a salary cut is probably less serious for a scientist in the early stages of a career. Guy Grant, now a research associate at the Unilever Centre for Molecular Informatics at the University of Cambridge, spent two years working for a medicine company before returning to university as a post doctoral researcher. He took a 30% salary cut but felt it worthwhile for the greater intellectual chances.
    Higher up the ladder, where a pay cut is usually more important, the demand for scientists with a wealth of experience in industry is forcing universities to make the change to academia more attractive, according to Lee. Industrial scientists tend to receive training that academics do not, such as how to build a multidisciplinary team, manage budgets and negotiate contracts. They are also well placed to bring something extra to the teaching side of an academic role that will help students get a job when they graduate, says Lee, perhaps experience in manufacturing practice or product development. “Only a small number of undergraduates will continue in an academic career. So someone leaving university who already has the skills needed to work in an industrial lab has far more potential (潜力) in the job market than someone who has spent all their time on a narrow research project.”
    小题1:By “a one-way street” in Paragraph 1, the author means ______.
    A．university researchers know little about the commercial world
    B．few university professors are willing to do industrial research
    C．few industrial scientists would leave to work in a university
    D．there is little exchange between industry and academia
    小题2:The underlined word “deterrent” most probably refers to “something that ______”.
    A．helps to move the trafficB．attracts people’s attention
    C．brings someone a financial burdenD．keeps someone from taking action
    小题3:What was Helen Lee’s major consideration when she changed her job in the middle of her career?
    A．Less work hours.
    B．More freedom to choose research fields.
    C．Better prospects of a commercial return.
    D．Her preference for the lifestyle on campus.
    小题4:What can industrial scientists do when they come to teach in a university?
    A．Make its research more practical.
    B．Develop its students’ potential in research.
    C．Help it to obtain financial support from industry.
    D．Increase its graduates’ competitiveness in the job market.

    Humans are naturally drawn to other life forms and the worlds outside of our own. We take delight in the existence of creatures and even whole societies beyond our everyday lives.
    This sense of wonder is universal. Look at the efforts that scientists have made to find out whether life of some kind exists on Mars, and the popularity of fantasy literature or movies like The Lord of the Rings. This sense of wonder draws us to each other, to the world around us, and to the world of make-believe. But have we gone so far in creating worlds of fantasy that we are missing the pleasure of other worlds that already exist all around us?
    Human beings, as biologists have suggested, possess an inborn desire to connect with and understand other life forms. However, people, especially in big cities, often lead rather isolated lives. In a study of British schoolchildren, it was found that children by age eight were much more familiar with characters from television shows and video games than with common wildlife. Without modem technology, a small pond could be an amazing world filled with strange and beautiful plants, insects, birds, and animals. When we lack meaningful interaction(交互) with the world around us, and sometimes even with our families and friends, we seek to understand and communicate with things that exist only in our imaginations or on a computer screen。
    The world of make-believe is not necessarily bad. But when the world of fantasy becomes the only outlet(出路) for our sense of wonder, then we are really missing something. We are missing a connection with the living world. Other wonderful worlds exist all around us. But even more interesting is that if we look closely enough, we can see that these worlds, in a broad sense, are really part of our own.
    小题1:The popularity of The Lord of the Rings proves     
    A．the close connection between man and the fantasy world
    B．the wonderful achievements of fantasy literature
    C．the fine taste of moviegoers around the world
    D．the general existence of the sense of curiosity
    小题2:What can we infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3?
    A．People are far less familiar with the world of fantasy.
    B．The world around us could serve as a source of wonder.
    C．The world of fantasy can be mirrored by a small and lively pond.
    D．Modern technology prevents us from developing our sense of wonder.
    小题3: If our sense of wonder relies totally on the world of make-believe, we will     
    A．fail to appreciate the joy in our lives
    B．be confused by the world of make-believe
    C．miss the chance to recognize the fantasy world
    D．be trapped by other worlds existing all around us
    小题4: What is the main purpose of the passage?
    A．To show us the hidden beauty in our world.
    B．To warn us not to get lost in the fantasy world.
    C．To argue against the misuse of the sense of wonder.
    D．To discuss the influence of the world of make-believe.

    About three hundred words in the English language come from the names of people. Many of these words are technical words. When there is a new invention of discovery, a new word may be coined(杜撰) after the inventor or scientist.
    It is interesting to observe how many common words have found their way into the language from the names of people. Lord Sandwich, who lived from 1718-1792, used to sit at the gambling(赌博) table eating bread with meat in between. As the Lord was the only one among his friends who ate bread in that way, his friends began to call the bread “sandwich” for fun. Later on，the word became part of the English language.
    The word “boycott” means to refuse to have anything to do with somebody or something. It comes from a man called Captain Boycott. He was a land agent in 1880 and he collected rents and taxes for an English landowner in Ireland. But the Captain was a very harsh(苛刻的) man. He treated his poor tenants (佃户) very badly. His tenants decided not to speak to him at all. Eventually word got back to the landowner and the Captain was removed（免除）. The word “boycott” became popular and was used by everyone to mean the kind of treatment that was received by Captain Boycott.
    小题1:A few hundred ___________ come from the names of people.
    A．new inventions B．languagesC．English words D．new discoveries
    小题2:“Sandwich” is a word coined (杜撰) by ____________.
