down the existing seafront sports club in layton and replace it with a leisure centre that will consist of a multiscreen cinema, restaurants and an entertainment centre. but a local action group has promised to fight the 30 million redevelopment of the sports club, which has provided family facilities for over 25 years.the action group was set up three weeks after the project was announced. members of the group argue that the new centre will be too big and will totally change the way the town looks. they also dislike the removal of sports facilities from the centre and the change to less healthy activities such as video games and films. apart from the size of the project, they say that the 550 parking spaces provided will be too few and parking will become more difficult as a result.local hotel owners have welcomed the project, but action group says that in general it will only have a bad effect on the neighborhood. according to one group member it will result in up to 4000 people being around layton seafront late at night. a lot of old people and families live nearby, he explained. a meeting is being held tonight to discuss the plans.38. what is the writer trying

leisure plans under attackbeach food we eat tastes different, and there are untold numbers of different tastes. still, all flavors are based on just four basic tastes: sweet, bitter, salty, and sour. some food experts argue there is a fifth basic taste called umami（a japanese word that can be translated roughly as tasty or savory）, but this theory remains controversial. regardless of whether there are four or five basic tastes, the number is small.how can so few basic tastes give rise to the enormous number of flavors we experience? this is possible because the basic tastes combine in different proportions. compare this to colors. there are only three basic colorsyellow, red, and bluebut when mixed in different ways and proportions, these three basic colors are sufficient to create the vast array of colors that we see every day.apart from being influenced by different combinations of the basic tastes, the experience of taste is also enriched by other sensations, such as odor and temperature. these functions together produce what we recognize as unique tastes. in fact, what we perceive as taste often involves smell more than the taste experienced through the tongue. this is why foods with strong tastes often seem bland to people who, due to a stuffy nose, cannot smell them. for example, cinnamon tastes quite mild to people who cannot enjoy its fragrant smell. the same is true of drinks, like hot coffee or tea, which taste best when they can be smelled as well as tasted.what can also contribute to the sensation of taste is our ability to feel pain. the reason why hot, spicy foods like chili peppers are tasty is that they affect the lingual nociceptors. nociceptors are small areas on the surface of the body that help protect us against injury. nociceptors on the skin warn us of potential damage to the body. when we are pricked with a needle, for example, nociceptors represent that sensation as pain. a special kind of nociceptor called a lingual nociceptor is found on the tongue and, along with the other senses, helps us enjoy certain foods.42. which sentence best summarizes the main idea of the passage?a. new tastes can be created in laboratories.b. taste is a combination of different factors.c. solid foods have a stronger taste than drinks.d. taste is more important than smell for food.43. which word has the closest meaning to the phrase give rise to in paragraph 2?a. lift b. count c. remove d. produce44. what does the author imply about cinnamon?a. it can relieve a stuffy nose.b. it can have a very strong taste.c. it should be kept in a cool place.d. it tastes better in a large quantities.45. what are lingual nociceptors?a. foods that tastes hot and spicy like chili peppers.b. substances in a food that improve its flavor.c. areas on the tongue that sense spicy foods.d. small connections between the nose and the mouth.cnot being the greatest fan in the world of live performance, i took a deep breath before i entered the building, the castle theatre, and prepared myself to be bored, expecting to find it more interesting to watch the audience than the show. then i got the shock of my life.wadaiko inchiro are a group of ten young japanese men and women using traditional drums with a history going back more than 1500 years. the drums were once used for festivals and religious ceremonies and also as a means of communication during wars. today they give an ear-blasting performance which punches out rhythms with the power to wind you. theyre a welcome relief from the scottish pipers.unlike other performances, the best seats are at the back of the house. not only will your ears be protected from full blast, but you will get a fantastic view of the whole set. on stage are some of the biggest drums you will ever see and a cast wearing red, white and black headscarf.there had been almost no publicity for the show, but the house was full of people desperate, one could only assume, for something a bit different from the unrelenting performances appearing at this world-famous festival. the solid 60-minutes show starts as it means to go on. the drums rumble into fever-pitch action as the ten-strong company strike their sticks with startling control. their rhythmic frenzy almost immediately drugs you into submission. trapped inside the beating of the drums, you carried swiftly through warrior war cries to emotional rhapsodies（狂想曲）. not only is this display musically impressive, but the dance is strikingly beautiful. moving between the enormity（巨大）of the drums, the slight japanese characters have complete synchronicity（同步性）with the flying of their sticks, which they ceremonially cross and use to command.the biggest drum is played only by inchiro, the leader of the group. when i ask why this is so, he refuses to admit that he is being precious about this monster of an instrument and says: when someone else can play it as i do, i will happily move aside. dressed all in red, he stands before it as thought he is worshipping at an altar; as he raises his sticks to the drum, he touches it sometimes tenderly and sometimes murderously. inchiro and his drum produce a range of sounds from thunder to the trickle of rain.46. the writer took a deep breath before entering the building because she .a. was excited b. knew it would be hot in the theatrec. was nervous d. was preparing herself to be bored47. according to the writer, there were many people watching the performance because .a. the drummers are dressed in different colorsb. they wanted to see something unusualc. the people in the group are famousd. the show had been well advertised48. we can learn from the passage that .a. the drums have been linked with religion for a long timeb. the show was more exciting at the beginning than at the endc. the drummers make controlled movements with their drumsd. the best place to see the show is the seats nearest to the drummers49. inchiro feels that .a. no one else should ever play the biggest drumb. he must always make loud noises on his biggest drumc. he is now the only one who can play the biggest drum well enoughd. it is very important for him to teach someone else to play the biggest drum五、阅读还原。（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。选项中有两项为多余选项。erica wills admits an addiction left her poor and almost ruined her life. but it wasnt drink or drugs. the
