freezer.Fruit,candy,nuts,chocolate,cake with butter cream frosting(糖霜),even peas,all of them taste delicious when frozen.In fact,I often eat them that way.I was a kid when I picked up the habit.In my family,lots of things were thrown into the freezer finally,two freezersto prevent them from going bad.Among them were some of the candies my sisters and I had collected on Halloween.If we eat when they are still warm,well find ourselves taking the cookies more than we should.It s better if we can put them into the freezer and wait.That way well eat less and enjoy them more because they are hard and chewing becomes a slower,more patient effort.That s the point about frozen butter-cream frosting.Put it in your mouth at room temperature,and it s gone very quickly.But when it s frozen,you can enjoy the taste much longer as it melts(融化)in your mouth.The freezer treats a lot of fruits kindly.Take frozen grapes for example,I keep a bowl of grapes in my freezer.They become a little icy,and somehow their sweetness is improved.They are perfect and healthy dessert(点心).This is the same with oranges,apples,bananasYou might think bananas would get super-hard when frozen.Wrong!They become cool,creamy and sweet.If you have wisely covered some or all of the bananas with melted chocolate before putting them into the freezer,they will have a double taste.As long as you arent eating anything that truly has to be hot,go ahead and experiment.41.What is the passage intended to tell us _.A.Fruit should be frozen before one eats it.B.Frozen food is better than hot food.C.The author prefers frozen food.D.Hot food is not healthy.42.The author began to enjoy frozen food when he _.A.was young B.learned cooking C.got married D.got a fever 43.Why does the author NOT advise us to take

author gives on eating fruit?A.Make bananas hard.B.Keep grapes in a bowl.C.Mix kinds of fruits together.D.Add melted chocolate to bananas.B The Internet is not perfect.There are many problems with

information on the“Net”.Some businessmen cheat people on the Internet.Internet thieves can steal credit card numbers.Some advertisers send spam to e-mail boxes.E-mail boxes are often filled with these unwanted advertisements.Illegal businesses can operate on the Internet.These businesses sell X-rated materials,cigarettes and alcohol to teenagers.The Internet has websites with information about making bombs,breaking the law and terrorism.Criminals can fool people,especially children,in chat rooms.They can spread poisonous information and attack new members.The Internet is the greatest advance in communication since human emerged.But it can also like a dark alley in a dangerous part of town.Parents need to set parental controls on their children when they use the Internet.This will keep some of the bad material away from their children.The Internet can be dangerous to computers,too.Some people who have evil intentions enjoy causing problems for other people they dont even know.They create computer viruses.A computer can get virus by downloading a program that has a virus in it.Some virus come by e-mail.A virus can destroy the data a person has saved in computer files.A

Romans visited friends and family 精选学习资料 -名师归纳总结-第 5 页，共 9 页6 who were working in another part of the Roman Empire.But when the empire broke down,this kind of tourism stopped.In the early 17th century,the idea of the“Grand Tour”was born.Rich young English people sailed across the English Channel英吉利海峡.They visited the most beautiful and important European cities of the time,including Paris in France,and Rome and Venice in Italy.Their tours lasted for two to four years,and the tourists stayed a few weeks or months in each city.The“Grand Tour”was an important part of young peoples education-but only for the rich.In the 18th century,tourism began to change.For example,people in the UK started to visit some towns,such as Bath to“take the waters”.They believed that the water there was good for their health.So large and expensive hotels were built in these towns.In the 19th century,travel became much more popular and faster.When the first railways were built in the 1820s,it was easier for people to travel towns,so they started to go for holidays by the sea.And some started to have holidays in the countryside as cities became larger,noisier and dirtier.Traveling by sea also became faster and safer when the first steamships were built.People began to travel more to faraway countries.The 20th century saw cars become more and more popular among ordinary people.Planes were made larger,so ticket prices dropped and more people used them.Thus tourism grew.In 1949,Russian journalist Vladimir Raitz started a company called Horizon Holidays.The company organizes everything-plane tickets,hotel rooms,even food-and tourists pay for it all before they leave home.The package tour and modern tourist industry was born.The first travel agency in China was set up as early as 1949.But tourism did not take off until 1978.In 2002,the industry was 500 billion yuan and became an important part of Chinas social development.56.In the early times,the travelers _.A.all came from Roman B.were very young and strong C.had lots of money D.traveled by boat 57.Which is NOT true about“Grand Tour”?A.It was a long journey.B.The young men learned a lot from it.C.Those who took the tour werent rich.D.Most of its destinations were in Europe.58._ played the most important role in the tourism development.A.Education B.Money C.Transportation D.Peoples ideas 59.Modern tourism was born _.A.in 1949 B.in Roman times C.in the early 17th century D.in the early 19th century 60.The underlined phrase“take off”in the last paragraph means _.A.a plane rising into the air
