阅读理解（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的a、b、c和d项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。amany primitive peoples believed that by eating an animal they could get some of the good qualities of that animal for themselves. they thought, for example, that eating deer would make them run as fast as the deer. some savage tribes believed that eating enemies that had shown bravery in battle would make them brave. man-eating may have started because people were eager to become as strong and brave as their enemies. among civilized people it was once thought that ginger root by some magical power could improve the memory. eggs were thought to make the voice pretty. tomatoes also were believed to have magical powers. they were called love apples and were supposed to make people who ate them fall in love. later another wrong idea about tomatoes grew up - the idea that they were poisonous. how surprised the people who thought tomatoes poisonous would be if they could know that millions of pounds of tomatoes were supplied to soldiers overseas during world war ii. even today there are a great many wrong ideas about food. some of them are very widespread. one such idea is that fish is the best brain food. fish is good brain food just as it is good muscle food and skin food and bone food. but no one has been able to prove that fish is any better for the brain than many other kinds of food. another such idea is that you should not drink water with meals. washing food down with water as a substitute for chewing is not a good idea, but some water with meals has been found to be helpful. it makes the digestive juices flow more freely and helps to digest the food. many of the ideas which scientists tell us have no foundation have to do with mixtures of foods. a few years ago the belief became general that orange juice and milk should never be drunk at the same meal. the reason given was that the acid in the orange juice would make the milk curdle and become indigestible. as a matter of fact, milk always meets in the stomach a digestive juice which curdles it; the curdling of the milk is the first step in its digestion. a similar wrong idea is that fish and ice cream when eaten at the same meal form a poisonous combination. still another wrong idea about mixing foods is that proteins and carbohydrates should never be eaten at the same meal. many people think of bread, for example, as a carbohydrate food. it is chiefly a carbohydrate food, but it also contains proteins. in the same way, milk, probably the best single food, contains both proteins and carbohydrates. it is just as foolish to say that one should never eat meat and potatoes together as it is to say that one should never eat bread or drink milk. 21. which of the following belief may mislead people?a. fish is good food for our muscle, skin and bone.b. it is helpful for us to drink water with meals.c. eating proteins and carbohydrates at the same meal is harmful.d. it is safe for us to eat fish and ice cream at the same meal.22. the underlined word “primitive” in the first paragraph means _.a. foolish b. uncivilizedc. educated d. wise23. the passage mainly talks about _.a. peoples puzzlement about foodb. peoples misunderstanding of foodc. changes of peoples understanding of foodd. the effect of food on people24. which of the following statements is true according to the passage? a. man-eating started because people were eager to become as strong and brave as their enemies. b. we should never eat meat and potatoes together.c. nowadays there are fewer wrong ideas about food. d. some people used to believe that tomatoes were poisonous.25. the purpose of writing the passage is to _.a. inform us the danger of eating certain kinds of food togetherb. share the writers own understanding of food with the readersc. point out some of our wrong ideas about foodd. persuade us to eat properlybjust in time to rain on apples (aapl) 2009 earnings report, a prime-time tv ad and a series of well-timed leaks have put the spotlight on motorolas (mot) droid a yet-unreleased smartphone that is being described by sources who have played with a prototype as the iphones first serious competitor.the ad, which premiered saturday during the yankees-angels pennant game, is pasted below the fold. the challenge to apple couldnt be less subtle; its a series of idont screens listing key features the iphone doesnt have from a physical keyboard to interchangeable batteries that the droid does.the leaks are being funneled primarily through the boy genius report, a blog with unusually good sources in the telecommunications industry. on friday the site published an illustrated walk-through of googles (goog) android 2.0 the new and reportedly much improved version of the open-source operating system that powers the droid. then, overnight monday, boy genius posted a hands-on review complete with photo gallery that describes it as the android device to beat, and easily the most impressive.from what weve been told, bgr writes, google had a direct hand in the motorola droid. something to the point of almost dictating every move motorola made when designing and making the phone.the droid is still vaporware; no release date has been set, although verizon (vz) said two weeks ago that it would release two android phones before the end of the year, and the cryptic clock on a new verizon/motorola droid promotional site has been decoded and appears to be counting down to oct. 30.verizon, meanwhile, seems to be playing both sides of the latest smartphone war. several blogs reported over the weekend that apple has begun testing the iphone on verizons so-called lte (long term evolution) 4g network, scheduled for initial deployment this fall and broader rollout in 2010.the same sources suggest that verizon wireless ceo lowell mcadam, who is said to have flown to mountain view, calif., every other week in recent months for meetings with google executives, may have also been making secret visits to apples cupertino headquarters, less than 9 miles away.26. which of the following about droid is wrong according to the passage?ait has drawn peoples attention. bit will be a great challenge to apple.cit has been on sale. dit is a new smartphone of motorola.27. which of the following is motorola closest strategic partner in producing droid?a. verizon. b. google. c. apple.d. it is unknown.28. compared with iphone, what new characters does droid have? a. it is powered by android 2.0. b. it has a physical keyboard. c. it has interchangeable batteries. d. all above. 29. the underlined word “premiered” in paragraph 2 means _. a. appeared for the first time b. was first in importance c. repeated several times d. spread quickly30. which may be the secret mission of lowell mcadams flying to mountain view, calif recently?a. to have meetings with google executives. b. to look for chance to cooperate with apple. c. to promote the companys new product.d. to develop strategic partnership with motorola.第二节 信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）请阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。请在答题卡上将对应题号的相应选项字母涂黑。首先请阅读下面各玩具的介绍：a. dance star mickey (fisher-price, $60, for ages 2 and up) is the best choice.
