I. 阅读理解：（共 15 小题；每小题 2 分, 满分 30 分）
Passage A
Dear editor,
Can’t your newspaper do something about the custom of hitchhiking?
A short time ago, on a car travel I counted at least 50 people standing beside the road, asking for rides. Many of them were young women.
Don’t they understand how dangerous it is to get into the car driven by a stranger? How much do they know about the driver? Is he a good driver of not? Nothing!
Many of these young hitchhikers may come from good families. Don’t their parents teach them anything about the world? I always taught my children not to talk to strangers. I never let them take rides from people they didn't know.
Isn’t there enough crime today without asking for trouble by hitchhiking? On the other hand, hitchhiking may bring some traffic trouble. Don’t you think what I said is true?
A Worried Grandfather

C. We’re doing crime without trouble today
D. Hitchhiking is a crime.
5. We can infer from the letter that______________.

C. The Worried Grandfather never traveled alone.
D. Hitchhikers are usually strangers to the driver.
Passage B
People generally tend to pick out the best-looking fruits and vegetables when shopping for produce, but Canadian supermarket chain Loblaws is attracting customers with badly-shaped and faulty produce at the price of 30% lower than normal-looking ones.
A trial run (试验，试行) of the ugly food line, named “Naturally Imperfect”, began with only apples and tomatoes to choose from. Consumer demand has been so huge that Loblaws is going to introduce more unsightly vegetables and fruit options like onions and mushrooms. The line is available at other stores, including Real Canadian Superstore and Your Independent Grocer.
All the produce that will be sold through Naturally Imperfect would otherwise have been used in juices, sauces, or soups, or have not been harvested at all. The director Dan Branson explained that this program benefited both food producers who would otherwise have to let abnormal harvest go to waste, and consumers who could buy fresh produce at low prices. And he was right, given how popular the line has become.
“It really went well beyond our expectation,” Branson said. “I think it really spoke to the fact that Canadians are out there really looking for some options.”
Of course, Canadians know that beauty is more than skin deep, but they also recognize that they can get the same flavor and nutritional benefits in spite of appearances. The positive response to the initial (最初的) offering of apples and potatoes showed the opportunity to expand the line and offer more options at a greater price to Canadian families.
“If you grow produce in your backyard, there will be a lot of produce that won’t look as pretty as what you will see in a grocery store,” said Branson. “And nature doesn’t grow everything perfectly. I’d like to think if somebody were to take a No Name Naturally Imperfect apple, put right beside a No.1 apple, close their eyes and eat them, there would be no difference.”
6. What does the underlined word “produce” in the 1st paragraph refer to?
A. give birth to B. raw food from farms
C. bring sth. to existence D. low-priced goods
7. Loblaws differs from other supermarkets in that _________.
A. more fruits are offered at lower prices
B. normal-looking produce is banned there
C. imperfect produce is sold at lower prices there
D. only apples and potatoes are sold every day
8. As for the ugly food line, ____________.
A. it turns out a big success B. it tries out as expected
C. it is greeted by decreasing demand D. offers apples, onions and more
9. What do Branson’s words in the last paragraph mainly tell us?
A. We should eat imperfect apples with our eyes closed.
B. The world is usually full of imperfect things.
C. Imperfect fruits are as tasty and nutritious as perfect ones.
D. The fruits grown by ourselves are more nutritious than those in the store.
10. We can conclude from the passage that ___________.
A. It is the appearance that counts most
B. Canadians prefer badly-shaped and faulty produce
C. The ugly food line runs only in Loblaws now
D. Imperfect produce may have a promising future
七选五：
Britons are well known for the amount of tea that they drink. The average person in the UK consumes around 1.9 kg of tea annually. That's around 876 cups of tea. Tea is drunk by all sections of society. 11． The fast majority of tea is grown in India and China. So, how did it become an important part of British culture?
12. At this time, British ships were exploring the world and came across the drink in China. It was not long before green tea was available to buy. However, this was only available to the richer sections of society.
At the beginning of the 1700s，the amount of tea arriving in Britain increased gradually. Black tea arrived at this time. 13． They soon discovered that it makes really well with a little milk and sugar, giving the drink a special British characteristic.
In the 1800s Tea was still a product enjoyed only by people with money. 14． This involves drinking tea with a snack around 4 p.m. to avoid feeling hungry between lunch and dinner. It is a tradition that is still going today, but has become less popular in recent times.
In the late 1800s, the price of tea decreased sharply as more tea began to arrive on ships from India and China. It was no longer a drink just for rich people. Tearooms---shops where you could buy and drink tea ---started to appear across the country. 15． At the start of the 20th century, Britons began to make tea in their homes whenever they felt like it. Kettles(茶壶) became essential in every kitchen.
A. At this time, they begin to have afternoon tea.
B. People in lower classes could not afford it.
C. Let’s have a look at its history.
D. People enjoy drinking tea and socializing in these places.
E. But tea does not grow in Britain.
