In fact, Americans eat more ice cream than people in any other country. Ice cream is a frozen treat that comes in hundreds of flavours. What’s your favourite flavour? Is it vanilla? That is the most popular flavour by far. Chocolate ranks second in popularity. Making ice cream is pretty simple. It’s usually made from milk, cream, sugar, and flavourings (调味品). Mix it all together as you freeze it and you get ice cream. As the mixture begins to freeze you can then add fruit, nuts, or chocolate. Soft ice cream is just the ice cream that isn’t fully frozen yet. Some people make ice cream at home in an ice cream mixer, a special kind of home freezer. But nearly all ice cream produced today is made by machines in ice cream factories. There are many other popular frozen desserts that are similar to ice cream. Sherbet is made from fruit syrup (糖浆) that has milk or egg white added to it. Spumoni is an ice cream with fruits and nuts. Ice milk, also called low-fat ice cream, is a sweetened frozen food made of skim milk. You can even get ice cream made without milk or cream. Soy ice cream and rice ice cream are made without dairy products. They’re made using soybean milk or rice milk instead. Ice cream comes in countless flavours. You’ve probably eaten vanilla and chocolate ice cream. Other favourites include strawberry, cherry, peach, butter pecan, and chocolate mint. But have you ever eaten ice cream flavoured with garlic or green tea? Some people do. You can even buy ice 扬大附中东部分校 3 cream flavoured with rose petals! 21. The underlined word “That” in the first paragraph refers to ________. A. any ice cream B. frozen treat C. flavour D. vanilla 22. What can we know from the second paragraph? A. We should add nuts after we freeze the mixture. B. Soft ice cream is half frozen ice cream. C. Most Americans make their ice cream at home. D. Making ice cream isn’t considered to be simple. 23. The best subtitle of the third paragraph is ________. A. Desserts in America B. Other frozen desserts C. Ice cream D. Ice cream with milk 24. What is made of skim milk? A. Sherbet. B. Spumoni. C. Low-fat ice cream. D. Soft-serve ice cream. B It was not easy to buy a delicious pineapple more than 10 years ago. The fruits that made it to the UK were green on the outside and, more often than not, hard with an unpleasant taste within. Then in 1966, the Del Monte Gold pineapple produced in Hawaii first hit our shelves. The new type of pineapple looked more yellowy-gold than green. It was slightly softer on the outside and had a lot of juice inside. But the most important thing about this new type of pineapple was that it was twice as sweet as the hit-and-miss pineapples we had known. In no time the Del Monte Gold took the market by storm, rapidly becoming the world’s best-selling pineapple variety. In nutrition it was all good news too. This nice tasting pineapple contained four times more vitamin C than the old green variety. Nutritionists said that it was not only full of vitamins, but also good against some diseases. People were eager to be able to buy this wonderful fruit. The new type of pineapple was selling fast, and the Del Monte Gold pineapple rapidly became a fixture in the shopping basket of the healthy eater. Seeing the growing market for its winning pineapple, Del Monte tried to keep market to itself. But other fruit companies developed similar pineapples. Del Monte turned to law for help but failed. Those companies argued successfully that Del Monte’s attempts to keep the golden pineapple for itself were just a way to knock them out of the market. 25. Which of the following best describe the new type of pineapple? A. It is green outside and sweet inside. B. It is good-looking outside and soft inside. C. It is a little soft outside and sweet inside D. It is yellowy-gold outside and hard inside. 26. What does the underlined word “fixture” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Something that is always present. B. Something that is difficult to get. C. Something that people use as a gift. D. Something that people don’t like eating. 27. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Del Monte planned to help the other companies. B. Del Monte tried hard to control the pineapple market. C. Del Monte succeeded in keeping the pineapple for itself. 扬大附中东部分校 4 D. Del Monte slowed other companies to develop pineapples. C Both of my parents worked full-time when I was a little girl, so my grandmother would stay at our house during the day. We would watch game shows in the living room. Our favorite was The Price Is Right. We would call out our answers along with the contestants. When I got older and started going to school, we couldn't watch our game shows regularly. That was okay with me, though, because the one thing I liked better than watching game shows with my grandmother was helping her bake cakes. Watching her in the kitchen was amazing: she never seemed to need the recipes but everything she made tasted delicious. At first I would just sit in the kitchen and watch, even though I didn't understand what she was doing. As I got older, she let me help with the easy parts, such as measuring the sugar. The day she let me separate the eggs, I felt like I had found complete pleasure. At last, my parents decided that I could take care of myself, and my grandmother stopped coming over every day. The love of baking, however, stayed with me. I started baking by myself, and even if the cookies ended up burnt sometimes, more often they turned out pretty well. I tried out new recipes, and whenever I got to a thorny part, I would call my grandmother for advice. Sometimes I would call her just to talk too. I felt like I could talk to her about anything. My grandmother passed away ten years ago, but I still think of her every day. Last week, I found a recipe book she made for me. It included her recipes for brownies, cookies, and my favorite, lemon pie. As I looked through the pages, I thought I could hear her voice. She was the one who taught me not just about baking, but about life. 28. The passage is mainly developed by ________． A. analyzing causes B. making comparisons C. following the time order D. examining differences 29. While helping her grandmother bake, the author ________． A. found it interesting B. turned out to be a troublemaker C. hoped to make a living by baking D. regretted missing the game shows 30. What does the underlined word “thorny” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean? A. Basic. B. Common. C. Special. D. Difficult. 31. What's the author's purpose in writing this passage? A. To describe her childhood memories. B. To show her good baking skills. C. To remember her grandmother. D. To talk about her happy family life.

Neither of those things are necessarily true. If you want to leave a good impression, you don’t have to make sure all eyes are on you. (36) . First, you have to show up. The first thing you’ll have to do, obviously, is to show up and talk to people. On a recent episode of “The Splendid Table”, author Jessica Hagy said, “You can show up basically as an observer of other interesting people and let that be a learning experience for you, (37) . But the main thing is to show up.” Second, be a good observer and a great listener. (38) , or you’re the one telling the story that everyone is attracted by. It just means that you leave a good impression on the people you interact with, and in turn, those people had a good conversation with you. Before you start talking, it’s important to just listen, even if you 扬大附中东部分校 6 fancy yourself a good storyteller. Third, (39) . If you catch yourself struggling to keep a conversation going, or wondering what you should say next, or over-thinking the entire affair and feeling nervous, take a few deep breaths and relax. (40) . Give yourself a little time to clear your head, relax, and head back into the conversation. A. relax and remember it’s just a good time B. The first step to that is to listen to people’s stories C. Here are some tips anyone can use in any social setting D. Grab a drink or a snack, find somewhere out of the way E. be prepared to have awkward conversations with strangers F. or you can show up and be a little bit more of the life of the party G. Remember, being “interesting” doesn’t mean you left the biggest impression 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分 30 分） 第一节 （共 15 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 15 分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最 佳选项。 Betty retired from teaching.
