Where does this text probably e from?A. A tourist guide book. B. A news report C. A science text book D.A popular magazineC People bee quite illogical when they try to decide what can be eaten and what cannot be eaten If you lived in the Mediterranean, for example, you would consider octopus （章鱼）a great delicacy （佳肴） You would not be able to understand why some people find it repulsive(令人讨厌的) On the other hand, your stomach would turn at the idea of frying potatoes in animal fat-the normally accepted practice in many northern countries The sad truth is that most of us have been brought up to eat certain foods and we stick to them all our livesNo creature has received more praise and abuse than the mon garden snail （蜗牛）Cooked in wine, snails are a great luxury in various parts of the world There are countless people who, ever since their early years, have learned to associate snails with foodAs my friend, Roberts flat is in a large town, he has no garden of his own For years he has been asking me to collect snails from my garden and take them to him The idea never appealed to me very much, but one day, after a heavy shower, I happened to be walking in my garden when I noticed a huge number of snails on some of my favorite plants Acting on a sudden impulse （冲动）, I collected several dozen, put them in a paper bay, and took them to Robert Robert was delighted to see me and equally pleased with my little gift I left the bag in the hall and Robert and 1 went into the living room where we talked for a couple of hoursI had forgotten all about the snails when Robert suddenly said that I must stay to dinnerSnails would, of course, be the main dish I did not fancy the idea and 1 reluctantly （不情愿地） followed Robert out of the room To our surprise, we saw that there were snails everywhere : they had escaped from the paper bag and had taken plete possession of the hall! I have never been able to look at a snail since then9 We can infer from Paragraph 3 that when collecting the snails, the writer _A was glad that he could share them with his friendB didnt think much about the result and it was just a sudden wishC was excited about being able to give his friend a surpriseD was depressed because it was hard to catch them all10 The writer finds that snails _A are as delicious as octopus Bare disliked in his hometownC are the most controversial(有争议的) food Dare as popular as fried potatoes11 According to the passage, people love different foods mainly because _A they live in different placesB they have the same genes as their parentsC they have different understandings of delicaciesD they learn to eat certain foods in their families12 Whats the best title for the passage?A. Foods and cultures B. Snail and octopusC. One mans meat is another mans poison D. People are illogical in front of delicaciesDTo get a chocolate out of a box requires a lot of unpacking: the box has to be taken out of the paper bag in which it arrived, the cellophane （玻璃纸） wrapper has to be torn off, the lid opened and the paper removed, the chocolate itself then has to be unwrapped from its own piece of paper: But this overuse of wrapping is not limited to luxuries It is now being increasingly difficult to buy anything that is not done up in beautiful wrappingThe package itself is of no interest to the shopper, who usually throws it away immediately Useless wrapping accounts for much of the refuse put out by the average London house-hold each week So why is it done? Some of it, like the cellophane on meat, is necessary, but most of the rest is simply petitive selling This is absurdPackaging is using up valuable energy and resources and polluting the environmentRecycling is already happening with milk bottles which are returned to the dairies(牛奶场）, washed out, and refilled But both glass and paper are being threatened by the growing use of plastic More dairies are experimenting with plastic bottlesThe trouble with plastic is that it does not rot. Some environmentalists argue that the only solution to the problem of ever increasing plastic containers is to throw away plastic altogether in the shops, a suggestion unacceptable to many producers who say there is no alternative（替代品） to their handy plastic packsIt is evident that more research is needed into the recovery and reuse of various materials and into the cost of collecting and recycling containers rather than producing new ones Unnecessary packaging, intended to be used just once, and make things look better so more people will buy them, is clearly being increasingly absurd. But it isnot so much a question of throwing away packaging as using it wiselyWhat is needed now is a more advanced approach to using scarce resources for what is, after all, a relatively unimportant function.13 The underlined part this overuse of wrapping is not limited to luxuries （in Paragraph l）means .A more wrapping is needed for ordinary productsB more wrapping is used for luxuries than for ordinary productsC too much wrapping is used for both luxury and ordinary productsD the wrapping used for luxury products is unnecessary14 Packaging is important to producers because .A it is easy to use it againB. they want to attract more shoppersC shoppers are all interested in beautiful packagingD packaged things will not go rotten15 According to the passage, dairies are .A experimenting with the use of paper bottles Bgiving up the use of glass bottlesC increasing the use of plastic bottles D. reusing their paper containers第二节补全对话（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。 Warren Harding was the 29th President of the United States, serving from 1921 until his death in 1923. 16 One was a successful international conference (会议).After World War One, Britain, Japan and the United States expanded their navies (海军). They built bigger and bigger ships. Many members of the United States Congress worried about the cost. 17 They asked President Harding to organize a conference to discuss these issues. 18 President Harding invited representatives from the major naval powers of the time : Britain, Japan, France and Italy. He also invited representatives from countries with interests in Asia and Europe : China, Portugal, Belgium and the Netherlands. He did not invite the new Soviet leaders in Russia.Mr Hardings Secretary of State, Charles Evans Hughes, spoke. 19 He proposed that the worlds strongest nations should stop building warships for ten years. He also proposed that Britain, Japan, and the United States should destroy some ships to make their navies smaller immediately. 20 It involved the misuse of underground oil owned by the federal government.

He explained the problem with these words, “I listen to one side, and they seem right. Then I listen to the other side, and they seem just as right. I know that somewhere there is a man who knows the truth. But I do not know where to find him.”A. He is remembered mostly for two events.B. The conference was not a plete success.C. They also worried about increased political tension (紧张) in Asia.D. The conference was held in Washington in November, 1921.E.
