27、name indicates, this relatively new holiday is one exclusively for people who are still living the single life. I was a bit surprised when I googled “Singles Day” on the Internet, to find that China is the only country in the world that has set aside a special day for singles to celebrate their live

28、s. To find out more about this celebration, please read on. An old story goes that once there were four single men, leading very boring lives. None of them were married, or had lovers, or did anything exciting. They just sat around all day and played Mahjong. One day they played Mahjong from 11 in t

29、he morning until 11 at night. During the game, no matter who won, the winning card was always the “four columns” card (the card shows four independent, parallel columns in two lines). Even more of a coincidence, it was Nov 11, or 11/11. In order to commemorate the day, they nicknamed it Singles Day.

30、 Singles Day was first celebrated at various universities in Nanjing, capital city of Jiangsu Province during the 1990s. It got the name Singles Day because the date consists of four “ones”. These college students have since graduated, and carried their university tradition into society. Singles Day

31、 is now a special day for all fashionable youths.The main way to celebrate Singles Day is to have dinner with your single friends, but its important that each person pay their own fee to show their independence. People also hold “blind date” parties in an attempt to say goodbye to their single lives

32、. Many singles also choose to say goodbye to their single lives on this day. Many attend “blind date” parties and many people choose to marry on this day. In addition to meaning “single” the four “ones” of the date can also mean “only one” as in “the only one for me.” Some people will use this date

33、and this meaning to tell their special someone that they are the only “one” in their heart.51.Singles Day got its name because _.A. the persons who play Mahjong are four singlesB. the date consists of four “ones”C. only single persons celebrate the dayD. it was first celebrated at universities in Na

The only way to celebrate the Singles Day is to have dinner with your single friends.D. It was these college graduated stude

35、nts that carried their universitys tradition into society.53.We can infer from the passage that _.A. the four singles did not get marriedB. Singles Day receives great popularity among young peopleC. when having dinner, one pays the fee for all his friendsD. on Singles Day many attend parties where b

36、lind people were present54.What is the best title for the passage?A. The Origin of Singles Day. B. How to Celebrate Singles Day.C. Singles Day. D. Say Goodbye to Singles Day.BJoanne was stuck in a traffic jam in central Birmingham at 5: 30 and at 6: 30 she was expected to be chairing a meeting of th

37、e tennis club. At last, the traffic was moving. She swung quickly racing to her house. As she opened the door, she nearly tripped(绊) over Sheba. “Hey, Sheba,” she said, “I've got no time for you now, but I'll take you out as soon as I get back from tennis club.” Then she noticed Sheba seemed

38、 to be coughing or choking. Obviously, she could hardly breathe. Immediately, Joanne realized she would have to take her to the vet(兽医).When she got there, the vet was just about to close for the day. Seeing the state of Sheba, Dr. Sterne brought her quickly into his office. “Listen, doctor, Im real

39、ly in a rush to get to a meeting. Can I leave her with you, and go and get changed? I'll be back in ten minutes to pick her up, and then I'll take her on to the meeting with me. Is that OK?”“Sure.” said the doctor. Joanne made the quick trip back to her house in a couple of minutes. As she w

40、as once more entering the hallway, the phone by the door began to ring. “This is Dr. Sterne,” said an anxious voice. “I want you to get out of that house immediately,” said the doctor's voice. “I'm coming round right away, and the police will be there any time now. Wait outside!” At that mom

41、ent, a police car screeched to a stop outside the house. Two policemen got out and ran into the house. Joanne was by now completely confused and very frightened. Then the doctor arrived. “Wheres Sheba? Is she OK?” shouted Joanne. “Shes fine, Joanne. I took out the thing which was choking her, and sh

42、es OK now.” Just then, the two policemen reappeared from the house, half-carrying a white-faced man, who could hardly walk. There was blood all over him. “My God,” said Joanne, “how did he get in there? And how did you know he was there?” “I think he must be a burglar.” said the doctor. “I knew he w

43、as there because when I finally removed what was stuck in Shebas throat: it turned out to be three human fingers.”55.Joanne wanted to get back to her home again _.A. to dress up for the meeting B. to phone the police stationC. to catch the badly hurt burglar D. to wait for her dog to be cured56.From

45、 B. friendly C. frightening D. devotedCCoffee experts are willing to pay large sums of money for high-quality coffee beans. The high-end beans, such as Kona or Blue Mountain, are known to cost extraordinary sums of money. Then there is Kopi Lowak (translated as “Civet Coffee”), the worlds most expen

46、sive coffee, which sells for as much as US $50 per quarter-pound.This isnt particularly surprising, because approximately 500 pounds a year of Kopi Lowak make up the entire world supply. What is surprising is why this particular coffee is so rare. In fact, its not the plants that are rare. Its the c

47、ivet droppings. Thats right, the civet droppingsthe body waste of the palm civet. Coffee beans arent Kopi Lowak until theyve been digested(消化) and come out in the body waste of the palm civet.Palm civets are tree-dwelling, raccoon-like little animals, native to Southeast Asia and the Indonesian isla

48、nds. They also have a love for coffee cherries. According to Kopi Lowak suppliers, palm civets eat the fruit whole, but only digest the outer fruit, leaving the beans intact(完好无损). While the beans are not destroyed, they undergo a transformation in the animals body. A chemical substance in the diges

49、tive system of the palm civet causes some changes to the beans to give them a unique flavor(味道). However, this is not the only explanation why coffee beans retrieved from civet droppings have a special flavor all their own. Another possible reason is that palm civets have an unfailing instinct for p

50、icking the coffee cherries at the peak of their ripeness.Kopi Lowak is reported to have a character in taste unlike any other coffee, complex with caramel undertones and an earthy flavor. Currently, most of the worlds supply of Kopi Lowak is sold in Japan, though a few US markets are also starting t
