poland, is a perfect example for a place where food is particularly important. when we were little children, we began to understand how much a loaf of bread meant to our parentsto some it might sound silly but for me the custom of kissing bread before you started cutting it was simply amazing. its not so common nowadays to treat food that way, since you hardly ever bake your own bread. besides, everyone would call you crazy if you tried to kiss every bread roll before you ate them! but though we no longer make our food from scratch (起点), some customs have been kept-thats why i feel so sorry every time i have to throw any food awayeven though i no longer live with my parents and nobody would blame me for this anymore!many people of our nation are still working as farmers, eating what they grow and harvest and therefore enjoying everything more. its widely known that you value more anything that needs your effort in the first place. in most homes in poland, especially those of farmers, the whole family would try and have their meals together-extremely difficult now, but so rewarding (值得) ! you can share other members troubles and successes, give your children some attention, or just sit down for a moment instead of rushing through life aimlessly. furthermore, your body, and stomach in particular will be very grateful (感激) for such a time! in poland, a wedding, christmas or even a birthday is celebrated with a great meal. women in the house get together and cook, sometimes for a few days before the event, and the extremely good or unusual food will be remembered and widely talked about.you cannot over-value the importance of food in the country. whats more, almost everyone in poland will be as interested in the topic as i am.56. when the writer was a child, he / she _. a. found people were crazy about bread b. began to realize the importance of foodc. thought that cutting bread was amazing d. learned people hardly baked their own bread57. the writer feels very sorry

hard as farmers58. from the text, we can learn that, in poland, _. a. most meals can be interesting topics for a long time b. the whole family often have meals together nowadays c. its common for women to get together to cook for a few days d. family members can know more. about each other by having meals together5. 答案 56.b 57.c 58.d*结束 1it is often necessary to release a fish, that is , set it free after catching, because it is too small, or you just dont want to take it home to eat. in some cases, releasing fish is a good measure that will help keep fish variety and build their population size. the department of game and inland fisheries (dgif) encourages fishermen who practice catch-and-release fishing to use a few simple skills when doing so. the advice provided below will help make sure that the fish you release will survive (存活) to bite again another day.when catching a fish, play it quickly and keep the fish in the water as much as possible. dont use a net in landing the fish and release it quickly to prevent it from dying.hold the fish gently. do not put your fingers in its eyes. dont wipe the scales (鱼鳞) off thefish because it might cause it to develop a disease and reduce its chance of survival.remove your hook (鱼钩) quickly. if the hook is too deep or hooked in the stomach, cut the line and leave the hook in. the hook left inside will cause no serious problem to the fish.take good care of the fish by moving it gently in water . release the fish when it begins tostruggle and is able to swim.do not hold fish in a bucket or some other containers and

aspect of our life that isnt being upended by the tons of information available on the hundreds of millions of sites crowding the internet, not to mention its ability to keep us in constant touch with each other via electronic mail. “if the automobile and aerospace technology had exploded at the same pace as computer and information technology,” says microsoft, “a new car would cost about $ 2 and go 600 miles on a small quantity of gas. and you could buy a boeing 747 for the cost of a pizza.”probably the biggest payoff, however, is the billions of dollars the internet is saving companies in producing goods and serving for the needs of their customers. nothing like it has been seen since the beginning of the industrial revolution, when power-driven machines began producing more in a day than men could turn out in nearly a year. “we view the growth of the internet and e-commerce as a global trend,” says merrill lynch, “along the lines of printing press, the telephone, the computer, and electricity.”you would be hard pressed to name something that isnt available on the internet. consider: books, health care, movie tickets, construction materials, baby clothes, stocks, cattle feed, music, electronics, antiques, tools, real estate, toys, autographs of famous people, wine and airline tickets. and even after youve moved on to your final resting place, theres no reason those you love cant keep in touch. a company called finalt offers a place for you to store “afterlife e-mails” you can send to heaven with the help of a “guardian angel”.kids today are so computer literate that it in fact ensures the united states will remain the unchallenged leader in cyberspace for the foreseeable(能预测的) future. nearly all children in families with incomes of more than $75,000 a year have home computers, according to a study by the david and lucile packard foundation. youngsters from ages 2 to 17 at all income levels have computers, with 52% of those connected to the internet. most kids use computers to play games (some for 30 hours or more a week), and many teenage girls think nothing of rushing home from school to have e-mail chats with friends they have just left.whats clear is that, whether we like it or not, the internet is an ever growing part of our lives and there is no turning back. “the internet is just 20% invented,” says cyber pioneer jake winebaum. “the last 80% is happening now.”10. what can we learn from the microsofts remark? a. todays cars and airplanes are extremely overpriced. b. information technology has reached the point where improvement is difficult. c. information technology is developing at an amazing speed. d. theres more competition in information technology industry than in car industry.11. according to the author, the biggest

information technology in years. c. studies show that boys are more computer literate than girls. d. there is a link between income and computer ownership.14. what is the message the author intends to convey? a. we should have a positive attitude towards the changes the internet brings. b. the internet is going to get firm hold of our lives some day. c. the internet is going to influence our lives even more greatly. d. children should be well prepared for the challenges in the information age.15 which sentence has the phrase that possesses the same meaning as the one underlined in the fifth paragraph? a. think nothing of it. it was my pleasure. b. he thinks nothing of the pain in his back for the moment.c. some can tell you that he has changed their lives, while others think nothing of him d. he thinks nothing of staying up all night in the caf bar.参考答案 10-15: cadbcd*结束 an analysis of studies in 40 countries around the globe proves a long-standing assumption that the more a person knows about science, the more he or she tends to support scientific effortsin fact, studies that have tested the link between a persons level of scientific knowledge and attitudes towards the field have generated mixed resultsits been a very hard question, says sociologist nick allum of the university of surrey in guildford, ukto resolve the issue, allum and his colleagues pulled together the results of nearly 200 surveys carried out between 1998 and 2003 in countries from australia to bulgariathese studies assessed, for example, whether participants knew certain scientific facts and whether they supported developments in genetically modified food or nanotechnologyto some extent, the results prove the belief widely held by science supporters: the more people know about science, the more favourably they tend to view it, in spite of other factors such as age, nationality and level of educationallum presented his results at the meeting of the american association for the advancement of science in washington dc last weekbut now this question is cleared up, researchers must begin to deal with more pressing questions, allum saysthe argument should move onhis finding cannot, for example, show whether better science education will increase general support for the fieldthis is because researchers have yet to figure out whether people who learn more about science then tend to like it or, on the contrary, whether people who already like an
