Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center. 31 “Clean your plate!“ and “Be a member of the clean-plate
24、 club!“ Just about every kid in the US has heard this from a parent or grandparent. Often, its accompanied by an appeal: “Just think about those starving orphans(孤儿 ) in Africa!“ Sure, we should be grateful for every bite of food. Unfortunately, many people in the US take a few too many bites. Inste
25、ad of saying “clean the plate“, perhaps we should save some food for tomorrow. According to news reports, US restaurants are partly to blame for the growing bellies(肚子 ). A waiter puts a plate of food in front of each customer, with two to four times the amount recommended by the government, accordi
26、ng to a USA Today story. Americans traditionally associate quantity with value and most restaurants try to give them that. They serve large portions to stand apart from competitors and to give the customers value. They prefer to have customers complain about too much food rather than too little. Bar
27、bara Rolls, a nutrition professor at Pennsylvania State University, told USA Today that restaurant portion sizes began to grow in the 1970s, the same time that the American waistline began to expand. Health experts have tried to get many restaurants to serve smaller portions. Now, apparently, some c
28、ustomers are calling for this too. A restaurant industry trade magazine reported last month that 57 percent of more than 4,000 people surveyed believed restaurants serve portions that are too large; 23 percent had no opinion; 20 percent disagreed. But a closer look at the survey indicates that many
29、Americans who cant afford fine dining still prefer large portions. Seventy percent of those earning at least $150,000 per year prefer smaller portions. But only 45 percent of those earning less than $25,000 want smaller. Its not that working class Americans dont want to eat healthy. Its just that af
30、ter long hours at low-paying jobs, getting less on their plate hardly seems like a good deal. They live from paycheck to paycheck, happy to save a little money for next years Christmas presents. 31 By saying “Be a member of the clean-plate-club!“(Para. 1) a parent or grandparent is asking the childr
31、en to_. （ A） wash dishes after meals （ B） eat all the food on their plate （ C） save food for the starving Africans （ D） reserve food for the future 32 According to news reports, US restaurants_. （ A） are partly responsible for the overweight problem （ B） ignore the government regulations on food amo
32、unt （ C） serve two to four times the amount the customers want （ D） are partly to blame for the waste of food in America 33 US restaurants provide large portions of food because_. （ A） most customers are calling for that （ B） they want to win in severe competition （ C） the American waistline in expa
33、nding （ D） it is the regulation of the restaurant industry 34 According to the passage, working class Americans dining in restaurants_. （ A） eat less to save money （ B） get less on their plate （ C） want to get their moneys value back （ D） do not care about their health 35 A proper title of the passa

Though Ive received fancier, more expensive card ov
35、er the years, this is the only one Ive saved. One summer, it spoke volumes to me. I received it during the first June I faced as a widow to raise two teenage daughters alone. In all the emotional confusion of this sudden single parenthood, I was overwhelmed with, of all things, the simplest housewor
36、k, leaky taps, oil changes, even barbeques(烧烤 ). Those had always been my husbands jobs. I was embarrassed every time I hit my thumb with a hammer or couldnt get the lawnmower(割草机 ) started. My uncertain attempts only fueled the fear inside me: How could I be both a father and mother to my girls? Cl
37、early, I lacked the tools and skills. On this particular morning, my girls pushed me into the living room to see something. (I prayed it wasnt another repair job). The “something“ turned out to be an envelope and several wrapped bundles on the carpet. My puzzlement must have been plain as I gazed fr
38、om the colorful packages to my daughters bright faces. “Go ahead! Open them!“ They urged. As I unwrapped the packages, I discovered a small barbecue grill (烧烤架 ) and all the necessary objects including a green kitchen glove with a frog pattern on it. “But why?“ I asked. “Happy Fathers Day!“ they sho
39、uted together. “Moms dont get presents on Fathers Day“. I protested. “You forgot to open the card“. Jane reminded. I pulled it from the envelope. There sat Snoopy, on top of his dog house, merrily wishing me a Happy Fathers Day. “Because“, the girls said, “youve been a father and mother to us. Why s
40、houldnt you be remembered on Fathers Day?“ As I fought back tears, I realized they were right, I wanted to be a “professional“ dad, who had the latest tools and knew all the tricks of the trade. The girls only wanted a parent they could count on to be there, day after day, performing repeatedly the
41、maintenance tasks of basic care and love. The girls are grown now, and they still send me Fathers Day cards, but none of those cards means as much to me as that first one. Its simple message told me being a great parent didnt require any special tools at all just a willing worker. 36 By “it spoke vo
42、lumes to me“, (Para. 1) the mother in the story means the card_. （ A） conveyed significant meanings to her （ B） aroused great sorrow in her （ C） brought her pleasant feelings （ D） made her feel important 37 After her husbands death, the mother found it was the hardest to_. （ A） handle the emotional

46、igners are sometimes asked what seems most strange about American society, somewhere on the top of the list will be the fact the average citizen is allowed to possess guns. Although it is true that many people carry guns legally in the United States, it is also known that many who possess guns carry
47、 illegally. Others, who dont have guns, feel that guns can be acquired quite easily. A recent survey indicated that many high school students, especially in the inner cities, can acquire gun with little difficulty. Although most people would never want to own a gun, others have taken up hunting as a
48、 sport and enjoy hunting wild game in season. Hunting for deer and duck in fall and winter is very much a part of the American culture. Also, some farmers in rural areas who raise cattle and sheep feel they need to protect their animals against wolves that attack their herds and flocks at night. To
49、defend and support their rights to possess firearms the National Rifle Association (NRA) was founded in 1871. The main importance of this organization has been its efforts to prevent strict gun control legislation. The NRA has great political support in small towns and rural areas, especially in the West and the South, where hunting is especially popular. Those who f
