A. She B. They C. He D. You
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:我上周在城里看到了苏阿姨。她看起来气色很好。
考查代词辨析。She她;They他们;He他;You你。根据前文“I saw Aunt Sue”可知,此处指代的是女性“Aunt Sue”,应使用女性人称代词“She”,故选A。

【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意:——放学后我们在校门口见面好吗?——当然。

3. Linda a lot since I saw her last time
A. has changed B. willchange C. is changing D. changed
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】句意:自从我上次见到她以来,Linda变化了很多。本题考查动词的时态。Change变化,改变。A. has changed 已经改变,是现在完成时 B. will change 将要改变,是一般将来时 C. is changing正在改变,是现在进行时 D. changed改变了,是一般过去时。本句是现在完成时的典型句型,故选A。

考查情态动词的用法。shouldn’t不应该;mustn’t禁止;needn’t不必;can’t不能。对must引导的一般疑问句作否定回答时,用needn’t或don’t have to表示“不必”。根据答语“You can hand it in by the end of this week.”可知,此处表示“不必现在交”。故选C。
5. I ________ Tim the news as soon as I see him tomorrow.
A. tell B. told C. will tell D. have told
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:明天我一见到蒂姆就将告诉他这个消息。
tell告诉;told告诉;will tell将告诉;have told已告诉。根据时间状语“tomorrow”可知动作发生在将来,且as soon as引导的时间状语从句遵循“主将从现”原则,从句see为一般现在时,主句应用一般将来时。故选C。
6. My friend Sally ________ to another city last year. I really miss her.
A. has moved B. moves C. is moving D. moved
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:我的朋友莎莉去年搬到了另一个城市。我真的很想念她。
考查动词时态辨析。has moved已经搬走(现在完成时);moves搬走(一般现在时);is moving正在搬走(现在进行时);moved搬走(一般过去时)。根据“last year”可知动作发生在过去,应使用一般过去时,故选D。
7. —Hello, may I speak to Nick?

A. does B. did C. has done D. is doing
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:——你好,我能和尼克通话吗?——等一下。他正在厨房洗餐具。
考查动词时态。根据“Wait a moment”可知,在说这句话的时候,尼克正在厨房洗餐具,因此使用现在进行时,其结构为am/is/are doing。故选D。

A. play B. played C. are playing D. were playing
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意:孩子们正在花园里玩,突然下起雨来。
A. play动词原形;B. played过去式或过去分词;C. are playing现在进行时态形式;D. were playing过去进行时态形式。根据when it suddenly began to rain.可知,此空应填过去进行时态形式。结构是“主语+was/were+现在分词”,故填were playing,故选D。
9. —The environment is getting better and better.
—Yes. Many trees are ________ here every year.
A. cut B. planting C. planted D. cutting
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意:——环境变得越来越好了。——是的,这里每年都会种很多树。
考查被动语态。根据“The environment is getting better and better”和“Many trees are...here”可知,“树”是“种植”这个动作的承受者,需用被动语态,结构为“be+过去分词”,环境变好了,应该是每年都会种树,planted意为“种植”,动词过去分词。故选C。
10. —Cathy, do you know ________ the football match next week?

A. when we had B. when will we have
C. when did we have D. when we will have

空前为know,空处应用宾语从句,应用陈述句语序,排除B、C选项;时间状语“next week”提示宾语从句应用一般将来时,when we will have符合语境。
二、完形填空 (共8分,每小题1分)
阅读下面的短文,掌握其大意,然后从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选择最佳选项。
I gave my first performance when I was ten. I’d been playing cello (大提琴) for two years at that point, as part of the music program. It was lucky that my school even had a cello, a very expensive instrument. When I told Mom and Dad that I was going to be a cellist, they both burst out ____11____. Once they’d realized I was serious, they immediately put on supportive faces. I was eager to get a cello at that time, but they could only rent (租) one for me.
But their reaction still hurt me—in ways that I’m not sure they would’ve understood even if I had. Dad sometimes ____12____ that the hospital where I was born must have accidentally exchanged babies because I look nothing like the rest of my ____13____. They are all blond and fair and with dark eyes. But as I got older, Dad’s hospital joke took on more meaning than I think he meant.
Then, it came to my first performance. Standing backstage, listening to other kids play the violin and piano, I’d almost ____14____ out. I’d run to stage door and hid outside. My teacher flew into a minor panic (惊慌) and sent out a search party.
Dad found me. “You okay, Mia?” he asked, sitting down next to me on the steps.
I shook my head, too ____15____ to talk. “What’s up?”
“I can’t do it,” I cried.
Dad put a gentle arm around my shoulder. “You know that I used to get super nervous before a show.”
I looked at Dad, who always seemed completely sure of everything in the world. “You’re just saying that.”
He ____16____ his head. “No, I’m not. I was the drummer, way in the back. No one even paid any attention to me.”
“He got wasted.” Mom interrupted. “He dropped his drumsticks and puked (呕吐) on stage.”
Now I was laughing. I was still scared, but it was somehow ____17____ to think that maybe stage fright was something I got from Dad. I wasn’t just some foundling (弃儿), after all.
“What if I mess it up? What if I’m terrible?”
“I’ve got news for you, Mia. There’s going to be all kinds of terrible things there, so you won’t really stand out.”
So I went on. I didn’t shine through the piece. I didn’t achieve a huge success, but I didn’t mess it up, either. And after the performance, I got my present. It was sitting in the passenger seat of the car, looking as human as that cello I’d been ____18____ to two years earlier. It wasn’t a rental. It was mine.
11. A. cheering B. shouting C. crying D. laughing
12. A. joked B. realized C. questioned D. complained
13. A. group B. family C. neighbors D. friends
14. A. stepped B. stood C. chickened D. broke
15. A. ashamed B. surprised C. excited D. tired
16. A. dropped B. nodded C. shook D. raised
17. A. interesting B. comforting C. amazing D. satisfying
18. A. used B. led C. related D. drawn
【答案】11. D 12. A 13. B 14. C 15. A 16. C 17. B 18. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了作者第一次大提琴演出前因紧张躲藏,父亲用幽默往事鼓励她,最终她完成演出并获得属于自己的大提琴的故事。
【11题详解】
句意:当我告诉爸爸妈妈我要当大提琴手时,他们突然大笑起来。
根据后文的“Once they’d realized I was serious, they immediately put on supportive faces.”可知,起初父母以为她在开玩笑,所以是大笑,laughing“大笑”符合语境。cheering“欢呼”;shouting“喊叫”和crying“哭泣”与下文提到的“意识到我是认真的,他们立刻摆出支持的表情”的语境不能形成对比。
【12题详解】
句意:爸爸有时开玩笑说,我出生的医院一定是不小心换了孩子,因为我看起来一点也不像家里的其他人。
根据后文“Dad’s hospital joke took on more meaning than I think he meant.”可知,此处指爸爸在开玩笑,joked“开玩笑”符合语境。realized“意识到”;questioned“质疑”和complained“抱怨”与下文提到的“爸爸的玩笑”的语境不符。
【13题详解】
句意:爸爸有时开玩笑说,我出生的医院一定是不小心换了孩子,因为我看起来一点也不像家里的其他人。
根据“They are all blond and fair and with dark eyes.”可知,此处是指作者和家人不想,family“家人”符合语境。排除group“组”;neighbors“邻居”和friends“朋友”。
【14题详解】
句意:我差点临阵脱逃。
根据后文“I’d run to stage door and hid outside.”可知,作者因害怕想退缩。chicken out意为“临阵脱逃”,符合语境。排除stepped“迈步”;stood“站立”和broke“打碎”。
【15题详解】
句意:我摇摇头,太羞愧了说不出话。
根据前文“I’d run to stage door and hid outside.”可知,作者因怯场让老师家长担心而感到羞愧。ashamed“羞愧的”符合语境。surprised“惊讶的”;excited“兴奋的”和tired“累的”与“临阵脱逃”的语境不符。
【16题详解】
句意:他摇摇头。
根据“No, I’m not.”可知,否定回答,对应动作是摇头。shook“摇动”符合语境。dropped“低下”;nodded“点头”和raised“抬起”与“否定回答对应的动作”不符。
【17题详解】
句意:我仍然很害怕,想到怯场可能遗传自爸爸,令人欣慰。
根据后文“I wasn’t just some foundling (弃儿), after all.”可知,作者因找到归属感而感到安慰。排除interesting“有趣的”;amazing“惊人的”和satisfying“满意的”。
【18题详解】
句意:它坐在汽车的乘客座位上,看起来就像两年前我被吸引的大提琴一样有人情味。
根据句意,此处考查固定搭配be drawn to…,译为“被……吸引、对……有好感”。指的是“我两年前就被吸引的那把大提琴”,和后文“这不是租的,是我的”形成呼应,说明这把琴就是“我”一直心心念念、被深深吸引的那一把。排除used“使用”;led“领导”和related“联系”。

An Unexpected friendship
There’s a small brick house I visit from time to time. It’s not the house that is special, but rather the person who lives inside.
I met Miss C about 45 years ago when she was my sister’s kindergarten teacher. I remember looking into her classroom wishing I was her student. Miss C created a safe place where we could be whatever we wanted to be in that moment. My parents reassured (安抚) me I could start school when I was 4. Though, when I turned 4 in the spring, I couldn’t understand why I had to wait until September.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to be a teacher. When I graduated, I couldn’t wait to invite Miss C to my classroom. She arrived one day, and I saw joy on my students’ faces singing the same songs I sang with her as a child. As a new teacher, I was amazed by how she connected with children. For years, Miss C volunteered in my classroom.
Over the years we have shared in each other’s ups and downs. She asks me for updates about my family and friends, and she tells me about hers.
I am here for her now as the time to sell her house is near. I bring up boxes from her basement. We go through every painting a student has given her, every thank-you note a parent has written and her teaching aids (教具).
I find papers featuring the letters of the alphabet. I find my own name printed in green marker. Suddenly, my mind goes back to Room 3.
More than 40 years ago, Miss C sat on a chair while my classmates, and I sat on the carpet (地毯) at her feet. We learned about the letters and their sounds. Now, Miss C sits on her rocking chair (摇椅), and I find myself sitting at her feet. Over tea, we talk for hours. I listen intently (专心地) because I know I still have more to learn from her.
Our friendship is one that neither one of us expected.
Educators know teaching is a profession devoted to the development of young individuals. The lucky ones get to see what their students have done with their lives. The exceptional ones never leave their students’ hearts.
22. 45 years ago, ________.
A. I started school with my sister B. Miss C taught my sister and me

23. After I graduated, ________.
A. Miss C invited me to her class
B. I volunteered in Miss C’s classroom
C. I could connect with my students very well

【答案】22. C 23. D 24. A 25. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了作者与幼儿园老师Miss C之间跨越四十多年的意外友谊。
【22题详解】
根据第二段中的“I met Miss C about 45 years ago when she was my sister’s kindergarten teacher. I remember looking into her classroom wishing I was her student.”可知,45年前Miss C是作者姐姐的老师,作者当时看着教室,希望自己能成为她的学生。
【23题详解】
根据第三段中的“When I graduated, I couldn’t wait to invite Miss C to my classroom.”;“For years, Miss C volunteered in my classroom.”和第八段中的“Our friendship is one that neither one of us expected.”可知,作者毕业后成为老师,邀请Miss C来自己的课堂,两人逐渐建立了意外的友谊。
【24题详解】
根据第五段中的“I am here for her now as the time to sell her house is near. I bring up boxes from her basement. We go through every painting a student has given her, every thank-you note a parent has written and her teaching aids (教具).”可知,当Miss C要卖房子时,作者去帮她从地下室搬箱子并整理物品。
【25题详解】
根据最后一段中的“The lucky ones get to see what their students have done with their lives. The exceptional ones never leave their students’ hearts.”可知Miss C是一位卓越的老师,对作者影响深远。
C
Today, the world is highly competitive. Governments, companies and individuals (个人) are all competing to be the best in the society. It is true that competition leads to better products and services; many people, especially parents, believe that being competitive is helpful for children because it prepares them for the modern world. However, is competition the first thing that our society needs?
Schools teach students to compete for better grades, while in businesses, people are better paid for their competitive performances. However, none of them realizes the adverse effects competition has on the society. For two companies in a competition, one will surely lose then disappear, while the other remains stronger in the market. If this is popular in a country, the number of companies may drop, and then the economy (经济) gets worse. Besides, competition may result in distrust in society.
Cooperation (合作) presents a different picture. Competition breaks relationships, while cooperation strengthens relationships. When we cooperate with others, we meet new people, we get to know new things, we share thoughts, we help each other and we succeed together. Cooperation focuses on the growth and development of everyone, as many people work together toward a common goal. This way, everyone is equally (相同地) developed.
The processes of cooperation have played an important role in shaping history. Let’s discuss the example of the UN (United Nations). The UN’s calling is to keep world peace and create harmony (和谐). All nations have cooperated and will keep cooperating with one another to fight for a better future for the whole world.
Sports also provide us with a good example of cooperation. Think about how all members of the team forget who they themselves are and work only for the benefit of the team. Although sports are competitive by nature, when there is cooperation between the members, they encourage and support each other, and they get a greater chance of winning.
The development of both society and individual today depends on not just healthy competition but cooperation. Unfortunately, people are not taught cooperative skills at an early age, and this has encouraged a culture of competition in today’s society. The skills of cooperation should be included in the educational system for children in their early ages. This way, children grow up into adults who value and welcome cooperation, which brings out the best in us.
26. According to the passage, competition causes ________.
A. helpful suggestions and ideas B. excellent products and services
C. responsible children and parents D. confident performances and voice
27. What does the underlined word “adverse” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Harmful. B. Various. C. Helpful. D. Supportive.
28. What can we learn from the passage?
A. The economy can grow rapidly in competition.
B. Sportsmen should not be cooperative to win the game.
C. The UN was set up to call on people to create competition.
D. Kids should not just learn the skills of competition.
29. The writer probably agrees that ________.
A. people should value competition more than cooperation
B. people can perform better in competition than cooperation
C. people can benefit more from cooperation than competition
D. people should depend more on competition than cooperation
【答案】26. B 27. A 28. D 29. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要讲述了当今社会无论是个人,学生还是公司都存在竞争,竞争有好的一面也有坏的一面,而合作却给我们展示了另一个不同的画面,社会和个人的发展不仅取决于健康的竞争,而且取决于合作,合作技能应该包括在儿童早期的教育制度中。
【26题详解】
文章第一段第三句表明原因:“It is true that competition leads to better products and services”,这说明竞争导致了优秀的产品和服务。
【27题详解】
文章第二段指出:“For two companies in a competition, one will surely lose then disappear...economy gets worse. Besides, competition may result in distrust”,这里描述的是竞争带来的负面、有害的影响,可推测出“adverse”意为“有害的”,与“Harmful”意思相近。
【28题详解】
文章最后一段指出:“The skills of cooperation should be included in the educational system for children”,这表明孩子不应只学习竞争技能,还应学习合作技能。
【29题详解】
通读全文,作者虽然承认竞争有一定作用,但重点强调了合作能加强关系、促进共同成长、维护和平以及带来最佳状态,并呼吁在教育中加入合作技能。因此作者认为人们能从合作中获得比竞争更多的益处。

四、阅读表达(共10分)
So if you’re too busy, maybe it’s time you slowed down and enjoyed a meal with a friend.There has been a new trend(趋势) in food recently — getting away from fast food and moving toward “slow food”.
For years, the pace(节奏) of life was increasing for most people. People started eating fast food because they were too busy to cook. The trouble including buying, preparing and cleaning up after a meal was becoming more bother than it was worth clearly. Luckily, there were smart business people who took the chance to provide a “fast” way to deal with the problem. Almost overnight, you could drop by the supermarket and buy complete meals in packages. All you had to do was to heat the food and add salt, then you could be eating a delicious meal in 5 minutes.
Still too slow? OK, just drive your car up to the fast-food restaurant, order your meal and within 2 minutes it will be handed over to you with salt.
The problem is health. Fast food has much more oil, salt and empty calories and far less vitamins(维生素) than food freshly prepared at home. And so, since people have always wanted to live longer and healthier, a small but growing population is choosing not only fresh food, but also organically(有机)grown food — food that hasn’t been grown with chemical fertilizers(化肥).
Another reason for changes in eating habits is undoubtedly(无疑) social. Over the centuries, meal times have been used to visit, laugh and learn. That doesn’t fit with today’s lifestyle and many people are looking for ways to return to that Goodbye McDonald’s.
Finally, there’s something unique(独特的) about planning your meal, buying just the right ingredients(食材) and seeing something on your table that looks just like the picture in your recipe book. So if you’re too busy, maybe it’s time you slowed down and enjoyed a meal with a friend.
30. Why did people start eating fast food?
________________
31. What do people need to do if they buy complete meals in packages?
________________
32. Where can people get a meal in two minutes?
________________
33. What does “Goodbye McDonald’s” mean?
________________
34. Do you prefer fast food or food freshly prepared at home? Why?
________________
【答案】30. Because they were too busy to cook.
31. Heat the food and add salt.
32. At the fast-food restaurant.
33. To stop eating fast food.
34. I prefer food freshly prepared at home. Because it is healthier.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了近年来饮食趋势从“快餐”向“慢食”转变的现象,分析了人们开始吃快餐的原因以及后来回归健康新鲜食物的原因(健康、社交等)。
【30题详解】
根据文章第2段“People started eating fast food because they were too busy to cook. (人们开始吃快餐,因为他们太忙了没时间做饭。)”可知人们开始吃快餐的原因是太忙没时间做饭。Because they were too busy to cook.符合语境。
【31题详解】
根据文章第2段“All you had to do was to heat the food and add salt. (你所要做的就是加热食物并加盐)”可推知购买包装好的完整餐食后需要做的步骤。Heat the food and add salt.符合语境。
【32题详解】
根据文章第3段“…just drive your car up to the fast-food restaurant, order your meal and within 2 minutes it will be handed over to you. (就把车开到快餐店,点餐,2 分钟内就会递给你)”可知两分钟内拿到餐的地方是快餐店。At the fast-food restaurant.符合语境。
【33题详解】
根据文章第5段“…many people are looking for ways to return to that. Goodbye McDonald's. (许多人正在寻找回归那种生活方式的方法。再见麦当劳。)”可知此处指人们告别快餐文化。It means people say goodbye to fast food.符合语境。
【34题详解】
本题为开放性试题,言之有理即可。根据文章第4段关于健康饮食的描述或个人偏好作答。 I prefer food freshly prepared at home. Because it is healthier.符合语境。
五、文段表达。(10分)

I gave my first performance when I was ten. I’d been playing cello (大提琴) for two years at that point, as part of the music program. It was lucky that my school even had a cello, a very expensive instrument. When I told Mom and Dad that I was going to be a cellist, they both burst out ____11____. Once they’d realized I was serious, they immediately put on supportive faces. I was eager to get a cello at that time, but they could only rent (租) one for me.
But their reaction still hurt me—in ways that I’m not sure they would’ve understood even if I had. Dad sometimes ____12____ that the hospital where I was born must have accidentally exchanged babies because I look nothing like the rest of my ____13____. They are all blond and fair and with dark eyes. But as I got older, Dad’s hospital joke took on more meaning than I think he meant.
Then, it came to my first performance. Standing backstage, listening to other kids play the violin and piano, I’d almost ____14____ out. I’d run to stage door and hid outside. My teacher flew into a minor panic (惊慌) and sent out a search party.
Dad found me. “You okay, Mia?” he asked, sitting down next to me on the steps.
I shook my head, too ____15____ to talk. “What’s up?”
“I can’t do it,” I cried.
Dad put a gentle arm around my shoulder. “You know that I used to get super nervous before a show.”
I looked at Dad, who always seemed completely sure of everything in the world. “You’re just saying that.”
He ____16____ his head. “No, I’m not. I was the drummer, way in the back. No one even paid any attention to me.”
“He got wasted.” Mom interrupted. “He dropped his drumsticks and puked (呕吐) on stage.”
Now I was laughing. I was still scared, but it was somehow ____17____ to think that maybe stage fright was something I got from Dad. I wasn’t just some foundling (弃儿), after all.
“What if I mess it up? What if I’m terrible?”
“I’ve got news for you, Mia. There’s going to be all kinds of terrible things there, so you won’t really stand out.”
So I went on. I didn’t shine through the piece. I didn’t achieve a huge success, but I didn’t mess it up, either. And after the performance, I got my present. It was sitting in the passenger seat of the car, looking as human as that cello I’d been ____18____ to two years earlier. It wasn’t a rental. It was mine.
11. A. cheering B. shouting C. crying D. laughing
12. A. joked B. realized C. questioned D. complained
13. A. group B. family C. neighbors D. friends
14. A. stepped B. stood C. chickened D. broke
15. A. ashamed B. surprised C. excited D. tired
16. A. dropped B. nodded C. shook D. raised
17. A. interesting B. comforting C. amazing D. satisfying
18. A. used B. led C. related D. drawn

An Unexpected friendship
There’s a small brick house I visit from time to time. It’s not the house that is special, but rather the person who lives inside.
I met Miss C about 45 years ago when she was my sister’s kindergarten teacher. I remember looking into her classroom wishing I was her student. Miss C created a safe place where we could be whatever we wanted to be in that moment. My parents reassured (安抚) me I could start school when I was 4. Though, when I turned 4 in the spring, I couldn’t understand why I had to wait until September.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to be a teacher. When I graduated, I couldn’t wait to invite Miss C to my classroom. She arrived one day, and I saw joy on my students’ faces singing the same songs I sang with her as a child. As a new teacher, I was amazed by how she connected with children. For years, Miss C volunteered in my classroom.
Over the years we have shared in each other’s ups and downs. She asks me for updates about my family and friends, and she tells me about hers.
I am here for her now as the time to sell her house is near. I bring up boxes from her basement. We go through every painting a student has given her, every thank-you note a parent has written and her teaching aids (教具).
I find papers featuring the letters of the alphabet. I find my own name printed in green marker. Suddenly, my mind goes back to Room 3.
More than 40 years ago, Miss C sat on a chair while my classmates, and I sat on the carpet (地毯) at her feet. We learned about the letters and their sounds. Now, Miss C sits on her rocking chair (摇椅), and I find myself sitting at her feet. Over tea, we talk for hours. I listen intently (专心地) because I know I still have more to learn from her.
Our friendship is one that neither one of us expected.

Today, the world is highly competitive. Governments, companies and individuals (个人) are all competing to be the best in the society. It is true that competition leads to better products and services; many people, especially parents, believe that being competitive is helpful for children because it prepares them for the modern world. However, is competition the first thing that our society needs?
Schools teach students to compete for better grades, while in businesses, people are better paid for their competitive performances. However, none of them realizes the adverse effects competition has on the society. For two companies in a competition, one will surely lose then disappear, while the other remains stronger in the market. If this is popular in a country, the number of companies may drop, and then the economy (经济) gets worse. Besides, competition may result in distrust in society.
Cooperation (合作) presents a different picture. Competition breaks relationships, while cooperation strengthens relationships. When we cooperate with others, we meet new people, we get to know new things, we share thoughts, we help each other and we succeed together. Cooperation focuses on the growth and development of everyone, as many people work together toward a common goal. This way, everyone is equally (相同地) developed.
The processes of cooperation have played an important role in shaping history. Let’s discuss the example of the UN (United Nations). The UN’s calling is to keep world peace and create harmony (和谐). All nations have cooperated and will keep cooperating with one another to fight for a better future for the whole world.
Sports also provide us with a good example of cooperation. Think about how all members of the team forget who they themselves are and work only for the benefit of the team. Although sports are competitive by nature, when there is cooperation between the members, they encourage and support each other, and they get a greater chance of winning.
The development of both society and individual today depends on not just healthy competition but cooperation. Unfortunately, people are not taught cooperative skills at an early age, and this has encouraged a culture of competition in today’s society. The skills of cooperation should be included in the educational system for children in their early ages. This way, children grow up into adults who value and welcome cooperation, which brings out the best in us.
26. According to the passage, competition causes ________.
A. helpful suggestions and ideas B. excellent products and services
C. responsible children and parents D. confident performances and voice
27. What does the underlined word “adverse” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Harmful. B. Various. C. Helpful. D. Supportive.
28. What can we learn from the passage?
A. The economy can grow rapidly in competition.
B. Sportsmen should not be cooperative to win the game.
C. The UN was set up to call on people to create competition.
D. Kids should not just learn the skills of competition.
29. The writer probably agrees that ________.
A. people should value competition more than cooperation
B. people can perform better in competition than cooperation
C. people can benefit more from cooperation than competition
D. people should depend more on competition than cooperation

So if you’re too busy, maybe it’s time you slowed down and enjoyed a meal with a friend.There has been a new trend(趋势) in food recently — getting away from fast food and moving toward “slow food”.
For years, the pace(节奏) of life was increasing for most people. People started eating fast food because they were too busy to cook. The trouble including buying, preparing and cleaning up after a meal was becoming more bother than it was worth clearly. Luckily, there were smart business people who took the chance to provide a “fast” way to deal with the problem. Almost overnight, you could drop by the supermarket and buy complete meals in packages. All you had to do was to heat the food and add salt, then you could be eating a delicious meal in 5 minutes.
Still too slow? OK, just drive your car up to the fast-food restaurant, order your meal and within 2 minutes it will be handed over to you with salt.
The problem is health. Fast food has much more oil, salt and empty calories and far less vitamins(维生素) than food freshly prepared at home. And so, since people have always wanted to live longer and healthier, a small but growing population is choosing not only fresh food, but also organically(有机)grown food — food that hasn’t been grown with chemical fertilizers(化肥).
Another reason for changes in eating habits is undoubtedly(无疑) social. Over the centuries, meal times have been used to visit, laugh and learn. That doesn’t fit with today’s lifestyle and many people are looking for ways to return to that Goodbye McDonald’s.
Finally, there’s something unique(独特的) about planning your meal, buying just the right ingredients(食材) and seeing something on your table that looks just like the picture in your recipe book. So if you’re too busy, maybe it’s time you slowed down and enjoyed a meal with a friend.
30. Why did people start eating fast food?
________________
31. What do people need to do if they buy complete meals in packages?
________________
32. Where can people get a meal in two minutes?
________________
33. What does “Goodbye McDonald’s” mean?
