一、阅读理解
Cooking shows on TV are usually all about exotic（外来的）foods. Thanks to globalization, people everywhere are introducing their taste foods to dishes from every corner of the world. At the same time, other people are discovering that food from their areas is the best kept secret. In the past few years, this movement（运动）of buying local produce keeps picking up steam because it offers a lot of benefits.
For starters, local food is often tastier because it is fresher. Goods that are imported（进口）from abroad must be grown or shipped from far away, so they naturally lose some of their freshness during the journey. A simple way to test this is to compare a banana from overseas with one that was grown locally and taste. Imported goods must also be washed and packaged in plastic or other containers so they can be stored well during the journey. These materials may cause the nutritional value of these goods to decline（下降）during the shipping process. Food safety is another reason why people are choosing local produce. Today's laws on foods are different from country to country. This causes confusion and makes it difficult to check if any harmful pesticides（农药）were used. When you know the local farmer who grows your food and the fields that are used to produce it, the chances of being polluted are greatly reduced.
Buying local foods can also have a beneficial influence on the environment. By supporting local growers , consumers（消费者）can keep green space and farmland in their communities in good condition. Buying local also helps to build the local community. If farmers can sell directly to consumers instead of middlemen, they will earn more money for their families. Additional profits（利润）also make farmers care for their soil and keep quality standards high. In the end, it's a win-win situation for both parties.
If you are interested in increasing more local foods into your diet, you can start by attending a farmers' market in your area. This is an open market where farmers sell fruits, vegetables, and meat directly to the public. If you have any questions about the production process or quality of these goods, you can ask the farmers directly. Once you experience the freshness of local foods for yourself, it might be difficult to go back to the supermarket.

Dear David,
How are you I’m fine. I’m in London, at the International School of English. I’m in Class 3 with eight students. They are from different countries—Spain, Japan, Argentina, (阿根廷), Switzerland and Thailand. Our teacher’s name is Henry Briscall. He’s very nice. He’s a very good teacher.
I’m living with an English family. Mr. and Mrs. Brown have three children. Thomas is fourteen, Catherine is twelve, and Andrew is seven. They are all very friendly, but it isn’t easy to understand them!
London is very big and very interesting. The weather is good—cold but sunny and the parks are beautiful! Hyde Park, Green Park and St. James’ Park are all in the city centre.
English food is OK, but the coffee is horrible! (可怕的)
Yours,
Paula

When I was nine years old, I wrote my first poem. My mother read the little poem and cried. “Buddy, it's a beautiful, beautiful poem!” My mother poured out her praise.
“What time will Father be home ” I asked. I could hardly wait to show him my poem. My father had begun his movie career as a writer. He would be able to appreciate (欣赏) my poem even more than my mother. I confidently put the poem right on my father's plate on the dining table.
My mother said he would be home around 7. But my father got home an hour later than expected. He sat down at the table and noticed his plate, “What is this ” I heard him say.
“Ben, Buddy has written his first poem. And it's beautiful, so amazing!” Mother said.
“If you don't mind, I'd like to decide that for myself,” Father said.
I kept my face lowered to my plate. It was only 10 lines long. But it seemed to take hours. “I think it's bad,” my father said. I couldn't look up. My eyes were getting wet.
“Ben, sometimes I don't understand you,” my mother was saying. “This is just a little boy. He needs encouragement.”
“I don't know why” my father held his ground. “Isn't there enough bad poetry(诗歌) in the world already No law says Buddy has to become a poet.”
I ran from the dining room, threw myself on the bed and cried.
A few months later, I read that first poem. It was a bad poem. I worked up the courage to show him a short story. My father thought it was not good but hopeful. I was learning to rewrite.
As I worked my way into other books and plays and films, I realized how lucky I was to have a mother who said, “Buddy, it's wonderful!” and a father who shook his head “I think it's bad.” Both are love that forces me to improve. In fact, all of us in life need both loving force.
11．What did the mother think of the Buddy's poem
A．She was so moved that she cried.
B．She thought the poem was well written.
C．She considered Buddy had no talent for poetry.
D．She believed Buddy needed advice from his father.
12．The underlined sentence “my father held his ground” may means ________.
A．My father began to explain his reasons B．My father got so angry that he stood up
C．My father refused to change his thoughts D．My father threw my poem on the ground
13．From the passage, we can infer that Father is ________.
A．loving and strict B．careful and strict C．careful and rude D．careless and strict
Can we forget bad memories Someone might tell you that time is the only “cure”. But this might be not true.
Researchers at Canada’s McGill University have tested a pill that can help you erase bad memories. They tested it on 60 people and found it to be successful.
All 60 people had experienced painful romantic relationships and wanted to forget them. In the study, they were asked to write about these bad memories. Then, they took a pill that is usually used to treat high blood pressure. They then recalled their bad memories by reading what they wrote earlier. In the end, they talked about their feelings, saying that they were finally able to forget their bad experiences.
Dr Alain Brunet, who led the study, believes that the pill can ease the pain that bad memories bring. People can take it after bad things happen to them.
How did the pill do this In fact, your memories change all the time. They’re like text files (文件) on your computer. Every time you recall and “open” the files, you might happen to make some changes and “save” them. Researchers believe that the pill can stop proteins (蛋白质) in the brain from “re-saving” these memories. This means some details of the memory are lost.
However, there are some ethical (伦理的) worries about this treatment. Some people might use it to forget things that they should be learning from, such as when they committed (犯) a crime. People are discussing which kinds of memories should be forgotten with this pill.
14．The study found that the pill can help people ________.
A．recall happy memories B．remember things more easily
C．forget bad experiences D．control their blood pressure
15．The 60 people who tested the pill did NOT ________.
A．have painful experiences B．write down their bad memories
C．have high blood pressure D．recall what they wrote down before
16．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “save” in the passage
A．拯救 B．保存 C．节省 D．储蓄
17．Paragraph 5 is mainly about ________.
A．how our memories change over time B．how the research group created the pill
C．how the pill helps us forget bad memories D．how the pill stops bad things from happening
18．What can we learn from the story
A．The writer doesn’t think the pill is good. B．The pill might come with some problems.
C．Many people want to forget bad memories. D．The pill can stop criminals from committing crimes.

二、完形填空
阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从各小题所给的四个选项中，选出一个最佳答案。
Something that I learned from both my parents was the importance of having respect (尊重) for other people.
I remember one day when we were traveling on a bus, I sat down while other people were standing. My mother shouted at me, “ 24 immediately! You have young legs and you don’t need to sit down.” At that time I felt embarrassed (尴尬) about being told of 25 , but now I understand. I think children nowadays have 26 that respect. And it really makes me angry if I see children sitting down while 27 people are standing.
One area in which we had a lot of rules was table 28 . For example, we were not allowed to start our meal until the oldest person started. We had to say “thank you” when our food was 29 , and eat everything on our plates before we could leave the table. We should eat 30 without making any noise. More than that, we were only allowed to have sweets at the weekend, as a special 31 if we did well.
Although my upbringing (养育) was perhaps a bit 32 , compared with modern children, I’m very thankful to my parents for giving me a clear 33 in life. In my view, children need clear rules, but more than that they need to learn how to get on with other people and realize they are not the center of the world.
