Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage（选择最恰当的单词或词语完成短文）It was my first week in Kansas City, the USA. My friend, Sharon, asked me whether Id like to try McDonalds for a quick lunch. So, we went. American fast food is quite popular in China, so I could_ pick something that I used to have in Beijing-a super burger, a coke and French fries, though the names of the food were in English._, the burger was much bigger than what I had back home. I thought to myself, after all, most Americans are bigger than Chinese. They must need more for lunch.With my lunch set in front of me, I wanted some tomato sauce to_my French fries, so I went to the waiter and asked him for some tomato sauce.What? he looked puzzled. Tomato sauce?I started to feel uncertain. I had studied English for six years. He should be able to understand me without any problems. Maybe, it was not called tomato sauce here, I_.Im not sure what you call that thing, I tried again, but its American food, and you put tomato sauce on everything.Sorry , Miss, he said, shaking his head, but we dont have tomato sauce here. Never have.I walked back to Sharon and asked her the question. She smiled and asked me to wait for a moment. A few minutes later, she came back with several packages that I had asked for. So, they never used the_ packages for the tomato sauce. Oh, no, its written right there, Ketchup.Whats the difference between Ketch-up and the tomato sauce? I asked.I dont know_we call it this name, replied Sharon. Never thought about it.Sharons smile suddenly made me realize that the difference between Ketch-up and the tomato sauce lay not so much in the food itself as in our different cultures.21 .

Can they lie with their bodies and behavior? Animal experts may not call it lying, but they do agree that many animals, from birds to chimpanzees, behave dishonestly to fool other animals. Why? Dishonesty often helps them survive.Many kinds of birds are very successful at fooling other animals. For example, a bird called the plover sometimes pretends to be hurt in order to protect its young. When a predator（猎食动物）gets close to its nest, the plover leads the predator away from the nest. How? It pretends to have a broken wing. The predator follows the hurt adult, leaving the baby birds safe in the nest.Another kind of bird, the scrub jay, buries its food so it always has something to eat. Scrub jays are also thieves. They watch where others bury their food and steal it. But clever scrub jays seem to know when a thief is watching them. So they go back later, unbury the food, and bury it again somewhere else.Birds called cuckoos have found a way to have babies without doing much work. How? They dont make nests. Instead, they get into other birds nests secretly. Then they lay their eggs and fly away. When the baby birds come out, their adoptive parents feed them.Chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be sneaky. After a fight, the losing chimp will give its hand to the other. When the winning chimp puts out its hand, too, the chimps are friendly again. But an animal expert once saw a losing chimp take the winners hand and start fighting again.Chimps are sneaky in other ways, too. When chimps find food that they love, such as bananas, it is natural for them to cry out. Then other chimps come running. But some clever chimps learn to cry very softly when they find food. That way, other chimps dont hear them, and they dont need to share their food.As children, many of us learn the saying You cant fool Mother Nature. But maybe you cant trust her, either.27 . A plover protects its young from a predator by_.Agetting closer to its youngBdriving away the adult predatorCleaving its young in another nestDpretending to be injured28 . By Chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be sneaky (paragraph 5), the author means_.Achimps are ready to attack othersBchimps are sometimes dishonestCchimps are jealous of the winnersDchimps can be selfish too29 . Which of the following is true according to the passage?ASome chimps lower their cry to keep food away from others.BThe losing chimp won the fight by taking the winners hand.CCuckoos fool their adoptive parents by making no nests.DSome clever scrub jays often steal their food back.30 . Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?ADo animals lie?BDoes Mother Nature fool animals?CHow do animals learn to lie?DHow does honesty help animals survive?五、阅读判断Sometimes people cry when they are sad. Other times people cry tears of joy. But your eyes make tears all the time, whether you are crying or not. Do you knowthe tears help keep your eyes healthy? They keep your eyes from drying out. A special area of the eye drips (滴) all the time. It keeps the eye humid.If you look in a mirror, you can see tiny holes in the corners of your eyes. Each hole leads to a small tube that runs to your nose. Tears run slowly into this tube drip by drip. Day and night theholes drain (流走) the tears away. If they didnt, you would always look as if you were crying.If you begin to cry, there are many more tears. The holes cant drain all of them. Then extra tears run out onto your face.Tears help keep eyes safe. If there is something harmful in the air, the eyes fill with tears. These tears coat your eyes. They keep the harmful air out.Contact lenses (隐形眼镜) can make the eyes too dry. Some people have to add tears to their eyes.They buy bottles of eye drops to keep their eyes wet.31 . Eyes make tears no matter how people feel.32 . When you cry, tears run into your nose or onto your face.33 . If there is something harmful in the air, tears protect your eyes by covering them.34 . Contact lenses make you have more tears in your eyes.35 . Tears are harmful to your eyes.六、句型转换Rewrite the following sentences as required. （按要求改写句子，每空格限填一词）36 .
