(2) citrus(柑桔) fruits and tomatoes; (3) potatoes and other fruits and vegetables; (4) meat of all kinds, fish and eggs; (5) milk and foods made from milk; (6) bread or cereal(谷类), rice is also in this kind of food; (7) butter, or something like butter.people in different countries and different places of the world eat different kinds of things. foods are cooked and eaten in many different kinds of ways. people in different countries eat at different times of the day. in some places people eat once or twice a day; in other countries people eat three or four times a day. scientists say that none of the differences is really important. it doesnt matter whether foods are eaten raw or cooked, canned or frozen. it doesnt matter if a person eats dinner at 4 oclock in the afternoon or at eleven oclock at night. the important thing is what you eat every day.there are two problems, then, in feeding the large number of people on earth. the first is to find some ways to feed the worlds population so that no one is hungry. the second is to make sure that people everywhere have the right kinds of food to make them grow to be strong and healthy.21. according to the scientists, which of the following groups of food is the healthiest for your lunch?a. chicken, apples, cereal, cabbages b. potatoes, carrots, rice, breadc. oranges, bananas, fish, tomatoes d. beef, pork, fish, milk22. people in different countries and different places of the world _.a. has the right kinds of food to eat b. cooks their food in the same wayc. has their meals at the same time d. eat food in different ways23. if there is paragraph 4, what do you think is going to be talked about?a. when people eat their lunch b. what to do with the two problemsc. how to cook food in different ways d. why people eat different kinds of foodbplants are very important living things. life could not go on if there were no plants. this is because plants can make food from air，water and sunlight. animals and man cannot make food from air，water and sunlight. animals get their food by eating plants and other animals. therefore, animals and man need plants in order to live. this is why we find that there are so many plants around us. if you look carefully at the plants around you，you will find that there are two kinds of plants：flowering plants and non-flowering plants. flowering plants can make seeds. the seeds are protected by the fruits. some fruits have one seed，some have two，three or four， and some have many seeds. but a few fruits have no seeds at all. an example of a fruit without seeds is the banana fruit. most non-flowering plants do not grow from seeds. they grow from spores（胚芽）. spores are very small. some spores are so small and light that they can float in the air. we may say that spores are quite the same as seeds. when these spores are all on wet and shady places，they usually grow into new plants.24. the main idea of the first paragraph is that _.a. plants are important for life b. plants cannot grow without airc. there are many plants in the world d. we cannot live without water25. what can we infer（推断） from the passage ？a. of all living things animals are most important b. spores are seedsc. all fruits of flowering plants have seeds d. without plants，man will die out26. this passage may be taken from_. a. a medicine book b. a novelc. a science magazine d. an experiment report27. the underlined word “protected” in the passage can be replaced by _. a. damaged b. polluted c. prevented d. guarded cthere are some very good things about open education. this way of teaching allows the students to grow as people, and to develop their own interests in many subjects. open education allows students to be responsible for their own education, as they are responsible for what they do in life. some students do badly in a traditional classroom. the open classroom may allow them to enjoy learning. some students will be happier in an open education school. they will not have to worry about grades or rules. for students who worry about these things a lot, it is a good idea to be in an open classroom.but many students will not do well in an open classroom. for some students, there are too few rules. these students will do little and will not make good use of open education. because open education is so different from traditional education, these students may have a problem getting used to making so many choices. for many students it is important to have some rules in the classroom. they worry about the rules even when there are no rules. even a few rules will help this kind of students. the last point about open education is that some traditional teachers do not like it. many teachers do not believe in open education. teachers who want to have an open classroom may come across many problems at their schools.you now know what open education is. some of its good points and bad points have been explained. you may have your own opinion about open education. the writer thinks that open education is a good idea, but only in theory. in actual fact, it may not work very well in a real class or school. the writer believes that most students, but of course not all students, want some structure in their classes. they want and need to have rules. in some cases, they must be made to study some subjects. many students are pleased to find subjects they have to study interesting. they would not study those subjects if they did not have to.28. open education allows the students to _.a. grow as the educated b. be responsible for their futurec. develop their own interests d. discover subjects outside class29. some students will do little in an open classroom because _.a. there are too few rules bthey hate activitiesc. open education is similar to the traditional education dthey worry about the rules30. which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?a. some traditional teachers do not like it. b. the teachers feelings and attitudes are important to the students.c. many teachers do not believe in open education.d. teachers may have problems in open classrooms.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。（答案如果是e

fruit.i have studied good listeners-including spies, doctors and reporters and tried to work out how they do it. the first step is to throw away the preconception(偏见)that the person you are talking to is boring and predictable. most people do have something worth saying, if only you can help them say it.the second step is, therefore, to shut up. you may be painful to dive in and interrupt the speaker with a brilliant insight(洞察力) or joke, but dont bother. he doesnt want to listen to you , either. most people are not particularly interested in your opinions or what you have to say, but very interested in voicing their own opinions. let them tell it. make an occasional encouraging remark（话）. let silences fall, because people will often pour things out just to fill them.good listeners ask questions, but not too many. journalists know that the best moment in the interview often comes when you
