13、Many people travel to different places in the world by air. Usually it takes a long time, perhaps half a day, for passengers to stay in the plane. So airlines offer passengers food. But it is common that they feel bad about food taste. Do you agree?
To solve this problem , airlines try hard to improve their food. They would like to do so because they don’t want to lose customers.
However, according to scientific research, part of the reason why plane food tastes bad is that at high altitude( 海拔 )we can not taste things as well as we do on the ground. Also scientists have found that our noses become very dry even before a plane takes off. As the plane moves up, the change in air pressure( 气压 ) reduces one third of the sensibility(感觉 )of our taste buds( 味蕾 ).So our taste buds become senseless. The sad face, however, is that our noses don’t know it.
All of these help explain why food on the plane tastes so bad. They also help explain why airlines choose to offer passengers salty and spicy( 辛辣 )food. Without doing so, the food would be tasteless.
Now there are many researches on this. According to one of them, some volunteers are asked to lie with their feet higher than their heads for weeks. And scientists write down their feelings about food taste.
Though scientists try their best, it is not as easy as they thought. Because they can’t deal with the special environment successfully, such as the change in air pressure, making food taste good is still hard for them.
1．In Paragraph2,“this problem” means _______.
A．passengers stay long in the plane
B．food on the plane tastes bad
C．passengers have no food to eat
D．food on the plane is expensive
2．Why do scientists feel it hard to made food on the plane taste good?
A．The volunteers don’t know about food taste.
B．The volunteers don’t understand them.
C．They can’t find enough volunteers.
D．They can’t deal with the special environment successfully.
3．What is the best title of the passage?
A．Taste of Airplane Food
B．Airplane Travel
C．Scientific Research on Noses
D．The Change in Air Pressure.

14、ABOUT THE BLACK BEAR
Description: Black body and head, brown nose, and large ears that stick out
•Size: 150 to 600 pounds, 4.5 to 6.5 feet long
•Living space: Heavily wooden area
•Food: Plants and small animalsImagine this situation: You go out to your backyard, and you see a bear smelling your rubbish bin. Or you go into your garage(车库) to get your bike and find a bear there. What would you do? People in some parts of Florida think about these situations a lot. They have been running into black bears more and more often. This is frightening and dangerous for both bears and people.
The number of cases of people and bears running into each other has gone up. In 1978, just one case was reported. In 2002, 1,340 cases were reported. These cases are called “conflicts”. Studies show that the number of conflicts in Florida is going up.
Some people think that human-bear conflicts are going up in Florida because there are more bears. Actually, it’s just the opposite. The number of bears is going down. In the early 1900s, there were about 12,000 black bears in Florida. Today, no one is really sure how many black bears are left. People think the number is from 1,500 to 3,000. So why are human-bear conflicts increasing so rapidly? There aren’t more bears, but there are more people.
There are many people who want to protect the Florida black bear. Here are some of the things that people in Florida are doing:
Teaching school children about the Florida black bear with a special program that includes a slide-show, games, and activities.

17、On May 23, Shenzhen introduced tough new rules in order to discourage the ＂Chinese style of crossing the road＂. ＂Chinese people cross roads without thinking about traffic lights, so long as they are part of a crowd,＂ said a post on Sina Weibo.
A CCTV news program showed that in only an hour, more than 30 people jumped red lights when crossing a road in Shijiazhuang, Hebei.
Many people say that they jaywalk(乱穿马路) because the red light lasts too long. Such an opinion is supported by a research team at Tongji University. The team did research on people’s waiting times at different road crossings for three years. They found that Chinese people would wait for 70 to 90 seconds before they lost their patience. ＂People are likely to ignore (忽视) the light when the waiting time is longer than they can bear,＂ said Ni Ying, a member of the research team.
However, a survey on Sina Weibo suggested that people jaywalk mainly because they ignore rules. ＂I always obey traffic rules. Time is important but safety should come first,＂ someone wrote on his Weibo.
Many countries give out punishments to jaywalkers. In Singapore, the maximum can be three months in prison. Some Chinese cities have started taking some actions, too. For example, the first three people in a jaywalking group will be fined 50 yuan in Shijiazhuang.
But calling on people to respect rules is more important. To completely solve the problem, everyone should realize the importance of obeying the traffic rules.
1．Which of the following is the ＂Chinese style road crossing＂?
A．To cross a road slowly.
B．To follow the basic traffic rules.
C．To wait for the traffic light to turn green.
D．To cross roads without looking at traffic lights.
2．What does the phrase ＂the team＂ in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A．A CCTV news program. B．A research group at Tongji University.
C．A post on Sina Weibo. D．A daily newspaper.
3．How long will Chinese people wait for to cross the road before they lose patience?
A．About five minutes. B．Less than one minute.
C．Less than one and a half minutes. D．More than ten minutes.
4．Why do people jaywalk according to the survey on SinaWeibo?
A．Because people don’t pay much attention to rules.
B．Because there are too many people on the road.
C．Because the red light lasts too long.
D．Because people have less patience.
5．The writer suggests that we should __________ to solve the problem of jaywalking.
A．punish the jaywalkers
B．reduce (减少) the time of red lights
C．ignore the traffic rules
D．call on people to obey the traffic rules
