How much does the Les Ombres restaurant Dinner cost?A. $282.62B. $313.37C. $318.10D. $348.84BWhat can be better than a sweet treat with health benefits? As it happens, our favourite February food, chocolate, has a few shinning characteristics. It comes from the Theobroma cacao tree (food for the Gods), from a bean that grows on that tropical tree. Chocolate originated in Mexico and Central and South America, but West Africa now produces most of the world’s cocoa. Look for fair trade chocolate that meets environmental and labour standards at natural foods markets in Kitsilano and the West End, at Karmavore in New Westminster and at Nature’s Fare Markets throughout the province.Dark or semisweet chocolate is typically a vegan(素食) product. Because chocolate contains antioxidants(抗氧化剂) that prevent the oxidation (氧化)of LDL (bad) cholesterol(胆固醇), it has gained a reputation of being beneficial for our heart health. Eaten in an appropriate amount, chocolate may lower blood pressure.Chocolate is also a source of iron –a “precious metal” when it comes to human health. As part of red blood cells, iron plays a central role in transporting oxygen to the body and carrying away the waste product carbon dioxide. Each day, we lose tiny amounts of iron in cells that are missing from skin and the inner lining of the intestine(肠壁). If our intake is not enoughto replace our losses, a tired feeling and sensitivity to cold may develop. With further consuming, people feel exhausted, chilly and even headaches; the skin may appear pale. Since iron absence is such an obvious condition and easily diagnosed, if you have any doubts about your iron level, have a lab test done.We are good at recycling iron, however, losses must be replaced. Two of the Chocolate Butter Balls in the recipe(食谱) below will provide one quarter of the recommended intake of eight mg iron for the day.24. Which region produces most of the world’s cocoa now?A. MexicoB. Central AmericaC. South AmericaD. West Africa25. Why is chocolate beneficial for our heart health?A.It contains antioxidantsB.It comes from the cacao tree.C.Itoriginates in Mexico.D.It is a sweet treat.26. What does “chilly” in the third paragraph mean?A. easy to be angryB. having a feverC. sensitive to coldD. feeling tired27. From which is the text probably taken?A. A biology textbook.B. A health magazine.C. A research paper.D. A travel brochure.CAccording to a PewResearchCenter report from November 2013, “71% of those 10-18 turn to the internet as a main news source.” Another Pew report found from 2012 says that on an average day, 29 percent of young people were “newsless” meaning they did not get any news, from traditional platforms, mobile phones, or even social networks.Despite the fact that both my husband and I are in journalism, my husbandas a design editor and myself as a writer, I have often wondered if our four sons would grow up to read printed pages with their own children someday.I got my answer last week when my failure to renew us living in a newspaper desert for two weeks. Normally we get both The Virginian-Pilot (the paper for which my husband works) and The Christian Science Monitor Weekly print edition. Our four sons have grown up with a variety of print newspapers available daily. That has changed slightly since our youngest, Quin, 10, has also become an online news tracker.However, it wasn’t until the newspapers stopped coming to our d oorstep seven days a week that I learned how deeply attached they all are to the printed, paper, page. That’s when we decided to make a list of what we have come to rely on newspapers to do cheaply and immediately.Here’s the list we made together of what our newspaper is used for beyond learning the news itself: as an umbrella when caught in rain; to stuff in wet shoes overnight to dry; to stuff in hats to keep their shape; to stuff under doors and in cracks to stop cold wind from coming in; to wallpaper for a doll house (my dad did that once)….Despite the growing list of household uses, my sons’ love for reading the paper before it becomes cage liner has helped me to realize that there is still hope that our kids and future generations will continue to value the printed news as more than just a means to a crafting project end, but to getting a more touchable grasp on the issues they may face in life.28. What is the PewResearchCenter report probably about?A. Children’s news source.B. Quality of journalism.C. Children’s after-class activities.D. Parent-child relationships.29. When did the author learn how deeply attached her children are to newspapers?A. our four sons would grow up to read printed pages with their own childrenB. our youngest, Quin, 10, has also become an online news addictC. the newspapers stopped coming to our doorstep seven days a weekD. we decided to make a list of what we have come to rely on newspapers30. Which is not on the list of using newspapers for household?A.to wallpaper for a doll house.B. to get news from social networks.C. to act as an umbrella when caught in rain.D. to stuff under doors and in cracks to stop cold wind coming in.31. How should children and future generations continue to value the newspaper?A. using it as a means to a crafting project end.B. relying on it to do cheaply and immediately.C. growing up with a variety of print newspapers available daily.D. getting a more touchable grasp on the issues they may face in life.DYou already know that making a good first impression can go a long way. But forget all the advice you’ve received about dressing to impress or putting on a cheesy smile. It turns out that the true secret to building a lasting connection reaches much deeper than what you wear.According to Amy Cuddy, a Harvard Business School professor who has researched first impressions for more than 15 years, everyoneasks two questions when they meeting someone new: Can I trust this person? And can I respect this person?Both questions help you measure a person’s warmth and competence, respectively. But, Cuddy says, you should put gaining your peers’ trust over winning their respect—even in a workplace setting. “If someone you’re trying to influence doesn’t trust you, you’re not going to get very far; in fact, you might even draw suspection because you come across as a controller,” Cuddy wrote in her book Presence: Bringing Your Boldest Self to Your Biggest Challenges. “A warm, trustworthy person who is als o strongly admired, but only after you’ve established trust does your strength become a gift rather than a threat.”But that’s not the only way you can start off on the right foot with a stranger. Your physical appearance matters, too. A 2017 study by psychologist Leslie Zebrowitz of BrandeisUniversity found that people use four clues to judge your face: babyfacedness, familiarity, fitness, and emotional resemblance. While you can’t control all of these factors, you can improve your “emotional resemblance” by using body language that builds trust naturally.The next time you meet someone new, focus on gaining their trust—not winning them over with a firm handshake.32. What’s themain misunderstanding described in the first paragraph?A. dressing to impress.B. putting on a cheesy smile.C. making a good first impression.D. building a lasting connection.33. Which is more important in a workplace setting according to Amy Cuddy?A. gaining your peers’ trust.B. winning your peers’ respect.C. trying to influence your peers.D. drawing your peers’ suspection as a controller.34. What does Leslie Zebrowitz suggest in a 2017 study?A. You can control your “fitness”.B. You can control your “familiarity”.C.You can improve you r “babyfacedness”.D. You can improve your “emotional resemblance”.35. What is the best title for the text?A. Judge one by a firmly-made handshakeB. Judge one by a naturally-built trustC. Judge one by the first impressionD. Judge one by the physical appearance第二节(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。
