C
Jamie Oliver has been invited by Gordon Brown to prepare a banquet at No. 10 for President Barack Obama and other leaders of the G20, offering a cut-price menu to reflect times when trade and industry are far from prosperous and the rate of employment is decreasing.
Downing Street sources say Oliver, the well-known chef, will cook using “honest high-street products” and avoid expensive or “fancy” ingredients (材料).
The prime minister is trying to avoid a repeat of the embarrassment last year when he sat down to an 18-course banquet at a Japanese summit to discuss world food shortages.
Obama, President Nicolas Sarkozy of France, Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany and other leaders will be served by apprentices (學(xué)徒) from Fifteen, the London restaurant Oliver founded to help train young people in poverty in order to make a living by mastering a skill.
Brown wants the dinner to reflect the emphasis of the London summit, which he hopes will lead to an agreement to lift the world out of recession. “To be invited to cook for such an important group of people, who are trying to solve some of the world’s major problems, is really a privilege,” said Oliver.
“I’m hoping the menu I’m working on will show British food and produce is some of the best in the world, but also show we have pioneered a high-quality apprentice scheme at Fifteen London that is giving young people a skill to be proud of.”
The chef has not yet finalized the menu, but is expected to draw inspiration from his latest book, Jamie’s Ministry of Food, which has budget recipes for beef and ale stew (啤酒燉菜) and “impressive” chocolate fudge cake.
64. The underlined word “recession” in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to “_______”.
A. business       B. opposition           C. discussion           D. depression
65. What can we learn about Oliver from the text?
A. He is a well-known American cook.        
B. He is invited to attend the G20 summit.
C. He has founded the Fifteen London.      
D. He is one of the apprentices serving leaders of the G20.
66. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
A. Oliver is honored to be invited to cook for the G20 leaders.
B. Altogether three presidents are mentioned in the text.
C. President Barack Obama offers the cut-price menu.
D. The menu for the G20 dinner banquet has been decided.
67. What is the Fifteen London?
A. an apartment in London                                    B. a luxurious restaurant in London
C. a restaurant as well as a training center           D. a famous avenue

Apology Language 5: “Will you please forgive me?”

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2010年遼寧省高一10月月考試卷 題型：閱讀理解

     One woman in nine will develop breast cancer (乳腺癌) over her lifetime. However, a healthy diet can reduce your risk of developing the disease by 40 to 60 percent.

Generally speaking, eating more vegetables can reduce your risk of developing breast cancer by 60 percent. Vegetables like cabbage are rich in fiber (纖維), can lower your risk of developing breast cancer. To get the most from their goodness, it's recommended that you eat at least three to four cups of these vegetables per week.

It's the oleic acid (油酸) contained in olive oil. American scientists conducting laboratory research have observed that oleic acid has a beneficial effect on breast cancer cells. Olive oil is the richest source of this acid, so whenever possible, use it in place of butter.

Eating fruit is another excellent way to help prevent the development of breast cancer. In fact, women who do eat fruit are six percent less likely to develop the disease. The American Institute for Cancer Research considers berries (漿果類) (blueberries, strawberries, etc.) to be powerful for breast cancer fighters.

It's the lycopene (番茄紅素), found in great quantities in tomatoes, that can reduce the risk of developing breast cancer. The lycopene found in canned tomatoes is more readily absorbed by the body than that contained in fresh ones, so add tomato juice, paste, and sauce to your diet.

As a result of various studies, the American Institute for Cancer Research has concluded that components (成分) found in green tea can help halt the development of cancerous tumours (瘤) and even prevent them from appearing in the first place. Three cups a day will help you get the benefits of green tea.

1.What does the author mainly tell us?

How to cure breast cancer by eating healthy foods.

Healthy diets help fight against breast cancer.

Proper fruits, vegetables and drinks keep you fit.

Breast cancer is the most terrible killer for women.

2.We learn from the passage that ________.

eating more fruit and vegetables can stop your risk of developing cancer

olive oil can help breast cancer cells develop

women eating tomatoes won't suffer from breast cancer

components found in green tea can reduce the risk of developing cancer

3.What does the underlined word "halt"in the last paragraph mean?

A．stop

B．increase

C．change

D．pull

4.According to the passage, the author may agree that ________.

A．Ten percent of women suffer from breast cancer

B．Berries are the richest source of the oleic acid

C．The lycopene found in olive oil has a good effect on breast cancer cells

D．Drinking green tea properly can help you keep healthy

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2010年浙江省高二上學(xué)期期中考試英語(yǔ)卷 題型：閱讀理解

Animation means making things which are lifeless come alive and move.

Since earliest times, people have always been astonished by movement. But not until last century had we managed to take control of movement, to record it, and in the case of animation, to retranslate it and recreate it. To do all this, we use a movie camera and a projector (放映機(jī)).

In the world of cartoon animation, nothing is impossible. You can make the characters do exactly what you want them to do.

A famous early cartoon character was Felix the Cat, created by Pat Sullivan in America in the early nineteen twenties. Felix was a wonderful cat. He could do all sorts of things no natural cat could do like taking off his tail, using it as a handle and then putting it back.

Most of the great early animators lived and worked in America, the home of the moving picture industry. The famous Walt Disney cartoon characters came to life after 1928. Popeye the Sailor and his girl friend Olive Oyo were born at Max Flcischer in 1933.

But to be an animator, you don’t have to be a professional. It is possible for anyone to make a simple animated film without using a camera at all. All you have to do is to draw directly onto an empty film and then run the film through a projector.

1.What does the passage mainly discuss?

A．Animal world

B．Movie camera

C．Cartoon making

D．Movement

2.Which of the following statements is True?

A．People were unable to recreate the movement or record it in the nineteenth century.

B．Pat Sullivan was a famous early cartoon character.

C．It is impossible to make cartoon characters to do what they are designed to do.

D．Only professional animators can make animated films.

3. According to the passage, Felix the Cat _________.

A．was created by the American cartoonist Felix.

B．was designed by Pat Sullivan in the early twentieth century.

C．was unable to do what natural cats could not do.

D．was created in the United States in the nineteenth century.

4.It can be inferred from the passage that _________.

A．Walt Disney’s cartoon characters were born earlier than Pat Sullivan’s.

B．only professionals can create cartoon character

C．Popeye the Sailor and Olive Oyo were famous cartoonists.

D．the cartoon industry started in the United States.
