The evidence, a napkin resting on top of the sandwiches packed in wax paper, was certain “Love you!” she had written on the napkin. “Meat loaf for supper!” Mom penned all kinds of messages to Dad on those paper napkins, and he saved a whole pile of them. What embarrassed me as a kid has bee a precious memory of my parents. It also started my own brand of lunch box notes. When my kids were young, Id glue little drawings on their lunches. Lots of sketches(素描) of our dog, Max, along with smiling flowers. When they were teenagers, Id copy words of wisdom from great people, Einstein, for example, or Bruce Springsteen. Then, my kids grew up making their own handwritten notes. And my husband writes me love notes on recycled paper, because hes all about being green. Friends who know about my lunch box notes eagerly share stories of their own family traditions. So many focus on food. Mauras mom always drew hearts on the shells of hard-boiled eggs. Melinda wrote messages on her kids bananas. Were into the third generation of lunch box notes in our home. Whenever my 3-year-old grandson, Clayton, spends the night, he knows his lunch is going to have a napkin note from Grandma in the morning. Last week, I drew a picture of me, waving widely and shouting his name. He took one look at it and screamed, “Wheres Grandpa?” I added a man in a clean shirt. “You forgot his tie,” he said. I quickly drew a line of stripes(条纹) down the front of the shirt. Clayton smiled. “Grandpa,” he whispered, running his fingers across the napkin. “Its you!”. 21. When the author first saw Dads lunch box notes, she felt _.Aawkward Bmoved CproudDnervous22. What did the author put in the lunch boxes when her kids were in their teens?AWords of love. BPictures of flowers. CFamous words of wisdom DDrawings of their favorite animals.23. It can be inferred that _.Athe authors grandson likes drawing pictures on napkins. Bthe authors husband is an environmentalist. Cthe authors children dislike making lunch box notes. Dthe authors friends all had their brand of lunch box notes.24. Whats the best title for the text?AOld generations way of expressing love. BLunches packed with love. CDifferent brands of lunch box notes. DSome interesting family traditions.Something in chocolate could be used to stop coughs and lead to more effective medicines, say UK researchers.Their study found that theobromine, found in cocoa, was nearly a third more effective in stopping coughs than codeine, which was considered the best cough medicine at present.The Imperial College London researchers who published their results online said the discovery could lead to more effective cough treatment. “While coughing is not necessarily harmful, it can have a major effect on the quality of life, and this discovery could be a huge step forward in treating this problem,” said Professor Peter Barnes.Ten healthy volunteers were given theobromine, codeine or placebo, a pill that contains no medicine, during the experiment. Neither the volunteers nor the researchers knew who received which pill. The researchers then measured levels of capsaicin, which is used in research to cause coughing and as a sign of how well the medicine are stopping coughs.The team found that, when the volunteers were given theobromine, the capsaicin need to produce a cough was around a third higher than in the placebo group. When they were given codeine they need only slightly higher levers of capsaicin to cause a cough pared with the placebo.The researchers said that theobromine worked by keeping down a verve activity(神经活动), which caused coughing. They also found that unlike some standard cough treatments, theobromine caused no side effects such as sleepiness.25. According to Professor Barnes, theobromine _.A. cannot be as effective as codeineB. can be harmful to peoples healthC. cannot be separated from chocolateD. can be a more effective cure for coughs26. What was used in the experiment to cause coughing?A. Theobromine. B. Codeine. C. Capsaicin. D. Placebo.27. We learn from the text that volunteers in the experiment _.A. were patients with bad coughsB. were divided into the three groupsC. received standard treatmentsD. suffered little side effectsCIn the animal kingdom, weakness can bring about aggression in other animal. This sometimes happens with humans also. But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people. I see it every day when people hold doors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat. And I have discovered that it makes them happyFrom my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people, but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily. They dont get to see this soft side of others often: we try every way possible to avoid, showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending. But only when we stop pretending were brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness thats in themLast month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual. People behind me began to get impatient and angry, with some speeding up alongside me, homing(按喇叭)or even shouting at me. At the moment I decided to do something I had never done in twenty four years of driving. I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speedNo more angry shouts and no more horns!When I put on my flashlights, I was saying to other drivers，“I have a problem here. I am weak and doing the best I can”And everyone understood. Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pass. They couldnt get around me because of the stream of passing traffic. But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weakSometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we dont feel that way. But those are and far between. More often, it would be better if we dont pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared28The author has discovered that people will feel happy when_Athey offer their help Bthey receive othershelpCthey feel otherskindness Dthey show their weakness29The author feels sad sometimes because_Ahe has a soft heart Bhe relies much on othersCsome people pretend to be kind Dsome people fail to see the kindness in others30In this passage，the author advises us to_Ahandle problems by ourselves Baccept help from othersCadmit our weakness Dshow our bravery31Which of the following is the best title for the passage?AWheelchair Experience BWeakness and KindnessCWeakness and Strength DA Driving ExperienceDWe know the famous onesthe Thomas Edisons and the Alexander Graham Bellsbut what about the less famous inventors? What about the people who invented the traffic light and the windshield wiper(雨刮器)? Shouldnt we know who they are?Joan Mclean thinks so. In fact, Mclean, a professor of physics at Mountain University in Range, feels so strongly about this matter that shes developed a course on the topic. In addition to learning“who”invented“what”, however, Mclean also likes her students to learn the answers to the“whyandhow”questions. According to Mclean“When students learn the answers to these questions, they are better prepared to recognize opportunities for inventing and more motivated to give inventing a tryHer students agree. One young man with a patent for an unbreakable umbrella is walking proof of McLeans statement“If I had not heard the story of the windshield wipers invention，”said Tommy Lee, a senior physics major，“I never would have dreamed of turning my bad experience during a rainstorm into something so constructive”Lee is currently negotiating to sell his patent to an umbrella producerSo, just what is the story behind the windshield wiper Well, Mary Anderson came up with the idea in 1902 after a visit to New York City. The day was cold and stormy, but Anderson still wanted to see the sights, so she jumped aboard a streetcar. Noticing that the driver was struggling to see through the snow covering the windshield, she found herself wondering why there couldnt be a builtin device for cleaning the window. Still wondering about this when she returned home to Birmingham, Alabama, Anderson started drafting out solutions. One of her ideas, a lever(操作杆)on the inside of a vehicle that would control an arm on the outside, became the first windshield wiperToday we benefit from countless inventions and innovations. Its hard to imagine driving without Garrett AMorgans traffic light. Its equally impossible to picture a world without Katherine JBlodgetts innovation that makes glass invisible. Can you picture life without clear windows and eyeglasses?32By mentioning“traffic light”and“windshield wiper”. the author indicates that countless inventions are_Abeneficial，because their inventors are famousBbeneficial，though their inventors are less famousCnot useful，because their inventors are less famousDnot useful，though their inventors are famous33Professor Joan McLeans course aims to_.Aadd color and variety to studentscampus lifeBinform students of the windshield wipers inventionCcarry out the requirements by Mountain UniversityDprepare students to try their own inventions34Tommy Lees invention of the unbreakable umbrella was_Anot eventually accepted by the umbrella producerBinspired by the story behind the windshield wiperCdue to his dream of being caught in a rainstormDnot related to Professor Joan McLeans lectures35Which of the following can best serve as the title of this passage?AHow to Help Students to Sell Their Inventions to ProducersBHow to Design a Built-in Device for Cleaning the WindowCShouldnt We Know Who Invented the Windshield WiperDShouldnt We Develop Invention Courses in Universities第二节（共5小题:每小题2分，满分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，选项中有两项为多余选项。What will you do if you cant eat everything bought in the canteen? 36 According to a survey, what students waste every year could feed over 10 million people. 37 According to Xinhua News Agency, the food wasted by Chinese people is about 50 million tons of grain every year, which could feed 200 million people. Food waste, which has bee a global issue, serves as a mirror that reflects various cultural and social issues in different countries. In the West, for instance, consumerism, the belief that its a good thing to use a lot of goods and services, is often to blame for food waste. 38 Chinese people are well known for being hospitable and generous. Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten all the food. On campus, a generation of single children is less aware of the food waste issue. Students nowadays are well protected by their families and hardly have any concept of how much toil (辛劳) others go through in order to provide them with the food they eat. 39 There are over 925 million hungry people in the world, most of whom live in underdeveloped countries and areas. They dont have enough food to eat. Many children die for lack of nutrition each year in some African countries. And farmers work very hard to grow the crops. 40 Its also important that everyone should think about how they can do their bit to reduce food waste. AStudents waste is extremely serious. BChina, in turn, features its own eating culture. CStudents can never realize the serious food crisis. Dpared with them, some live in a different world. E. But canteen waste is merely the tip of the iceberg. F. So theres no excuse that we should waste our food. G. Most of us would simply throw away any leftover food.第三部分 英语知识运用第一节 完形填空（共20小题：每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Several years ago, while attending a munication course, I experienced a most unusual process.
