Appetizers (开胃品) seem to be the name of the games as diners turn away from the more traditional three-course meal in favor of smaller snacks sampled in various types of restaurants, bars and cafes. In this way, in the course of an evening out, you might go to a restaurant for a tasty dish to eat at one end of town, to a bar with some live music at the other end, then for a coffee, and finally back to the restaurant for a further appetizer.Reasons for this trend are the fact that so many different types of restaurants have been set up recently, each with their own particular type of food and special atmosphere, combined with the increased sophistication in the type of snacks being offered. Gone are the cheese sticks of the old days, when appetizers were not really taken seriously. Some favorite snacks of the moment are slices of hot pizza, creamy fish-based dishes and crispy cakes and so on.Prices for appetizers are not equal to a full meal; however, their new popularity has meant that they are by no means as cheap as they used to be. Certainly, for that special occasion, a meal in a nice restaurant, complete with the piano performance, is hard to beat. However, if we see that this trend for butterfly eating- moving around several different places in one evening - continues, then all the traditional style restaurants may well have to provide their own appetizer bars as well!29. How are Californian peoples eating habits changing?A. People are dining out less. B. Californian restaurants are becoming less popular.C. A full restaurant meal is losing popularity.D. Most people eat less than they used to. 30. If you go out for an evening of appetizers, you are likely to_.A. be bored with some kinds of snacks B. need a car or a bus or other transport C. spend more time for a full meal than you would D. eat too much meat31. What does the underlined words increased sophistication in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Serving a bigger share. B. Offering better quality and variety.C. Charging more for food. D. Using healthier mixture.32. Appetizers used to be seen as_.A. cheap meal B. relatively important C. a full meal D. an expensive mealC Ask anyone what is the most difficult part of changing their lifestyle habits and they are most likely to say, Staying motivated But a 36-year-old professor from Carnegie Mellon University claims it may have the answer in the form of robot weight loss coach that dishes out daily health advice and encouragementAutom is the work of Intuitive Automata, a company based in Sha Tin which claims to be a pioneer in commercial socially-interactive robotsThe robot, which stands around 38 centimeters tall, has a head that swivels (旋转), blue eyes, and a touch screen which allows the user to input information daily about exercise and diet Its creators say Autom will have a daily conversation with its user lasting up to five minutes, giving feedback and encouragementOver time, it will interact more with the user as it gathers more information about themCory Krdd, a research team manager with the Federal Emergency Management Agency claims research has shown that people find robots a more reliable source of information than on-screen-based characterIn a controlled study in Pittsburgh City Council, 15 dieters were given Autom for six weeksAnother 15 received a touch-screen computer with identical software and 15 were given a paper logThe study found, people using the robot are more likely to stick with their diets longer, in fact twice as long as those using just a paper logWhile not one person among the computer or paper groups continued past six weeks, most who had Autom did not want to give her back at the conclusion of the study, he saidThe bottom line is that a robot creates a more powerful and long-lasting relationship with the user than a character on the screenAutom is expected to go on sale later this year in the United States for around $500A robot which speaks and understands Cantonese and Mandarin in addition to English according to the demands is also being developed32Whats the passage mainly about?AThe development of Autom BThe automated way to motivationCThe working principle of robots DThe way to change the lifestyle habits33What can we know about the controlled study?AThe study was led by Cory Kidd BThe subjects were divided by twoCEvery person with Autom continued past six weeksDPeople using Autom gain more benefits than other people34Which is true about Autom according to the passage?AThe price of this robot is very highBIt can communicate with people freelyCAutom can act as a coach to help lose weightDThese robots called Autom have been used widely35What can we infer from the passage?AThe robot can help people change their lifestyle habitsBThe robot cant speak English except Cantonese and MandarinCThe robot that can speak many languages has been popular with the usersDThe robot that can speak many languages meets the demand of the customersD I vividly remember walking back to my house after collecting the afternoon mails. I saw a credit card statement, another credit card statement and our bank statements. It was in that moment that I felt a deep tension.I realized that even though I had married a man who I absolutely loved and adored, I really didnt have a clear sense of how he handled money and how the two of us were going to combine our different approaches to handling money in our marriage. I was more organized and detailed, but he was more of a laid-back type. I knew that getting on the same financial page was a key factor in creating a successful marriage and financial future.I asked my husband if he would be willing to set up a time each week to talk about our finances and develop a plan for getting rid of our credit card debt. My husband said he would be willing to do this. Admittedly, he was skeptical but willing.We came to refer to our weekly meetings as our Financial Dates. We didnt really have a clue as to what we were doing. All we knew was that we needed to give our finances serious attention. Some Dates were filled with tense conversations. Other Dates were filled with laughter, joy and creativity. However, we kept showing up for our Dates and we never gave up. What started out as a means for survival became a powerful connecting thread in our relationship. Something shifted within us.Instead of our finances becoming a source of divisive tension that pulled us apart, they became the glue that held us together as we became a unified team.I still recall the day that we excitedly crossed off our last credit card payment on the chart we had created. We had finally arrived. We were free. We had been given wings to fly.Now, whenever I feel huge stress I ask myself, “How am I contributing to what is happening right now?” This gives me the ultimate power to take action. Even though my husband and I dont have any guarantee against future challenges, I am left with something deep within that is unshakable and that can never be taken away the memory of our past successes and the power to integrate (整合) these lessons in my day-to-day life.24. Why did the author feel nervous when collecting the afternoon mails? _A. She was not sure about her marriage.B. She didnt know how to handle money.C. She could feel the pressure of the huge debt.D. She was reminded of the quarrels in the family.25. Which word can replace the underlined word “laid-back” in the second paragraph?_A. relaxed. B. skeptical. C. lazy. D. confident.26. What can we learn from the Financial Dates? _A. They showed the couple clear direction at first.B. They left the couple nothing but deep sadness.C. They were once interrupted but quickly continued.D. They strengthened the couples relationship at last.27. We can infer that when faced with stress the author will _.A. try to change the situationB. focus on what contributes to itC. get power from the memoryD. feel free to do what she likes第二节 （七选五 共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。Time is the most valuable thing that mankind has. _71_Many people try to manage their time.
