More than 2.25 billion cups of coffee are drunk throughout the world each day, and it‟s likely that many taste bitter. Now, a new study suggests that coffee fans can make their drink sweeter by changing the color of their cups.
Researchers from Oxford set out to prove whether the claim that coffee drunk from a white cup tastes biter was true. They used 36 volunteers and three different colored cups---blue, white and transparent glass--- to examine the claim.
In one experiment, the white cup increased the intensity (浓度) of the coffee taste relative to the transparent cup. Then, in a second experiment, coffee drunk from the white cup was found to taste less sweet when compared to the other colored cups, while the blue cup made the coffee taste the sweetest.
The scientists believe that the color brown may be associated with bitterness, and coffee in a white cup appears the brownest.
“Our study clearly shows that the color of a cup does influence our sense of the coffee taste,” leading author Dr.
George Doorn, wrote in an article for The Conversation. “The effect of the color of the cup on the taste of the coffee reported here suggests that cafe owners should carefully consider the color of their cups,” he said. “The potential effects may spell the difference between a one-time purchase and a return customer.”
Actually, the idea that color can change the food and drink taste came out many years ago. A study published last year reported that red, strawberry-flavored cake served on a white plate was rated as 10 percent sweeter than the same food presented on a black plate.
24. The passage is mainly about _____.
A. the popularity of sweet coffee. B. an experiment made in Oxford.
C. the effect of cup color on coffee‟s taste D. useful tips on how to make coffee.
25. In which cup will coffee taste the sweetest?
A. A white cup. B. A blue cup. C. A transparent cup D. A brown cup
26. Café owners should consider their cups‟ color in order to ______.
A. reduce the daily expenses B. show their taste in coffee
C. appeal to more customers D. make their café different.
27. We learn from the passage that_____.
A. coffee in a white cup tastes sweeter than that in a transparent glass
B. over 2 billion cups of sweet coffee are drunk worldwide each year.
C. Dr. George Doorn wrote an article about making conversations.
D. the idea that color could affect the taste of drink is not new.
C
We should feel grateful in our heart when we accept anything others sacrifice for us. However, we often unconsciously do the opposite, which may not be regarded as returning kindness with ingratitude, but have the equal power to harm each other. In particular, the closer the relationship is, the more determined we are.
Jennifer, my friend Randy‟s mother, is already over 70, poor eyesight and weak legs. But due to her character, she chose to live alone in the suburbs. No matter how busily Randy works, he would go there to visit her once or twice every week.
That day as soon as he parked his car, Randy smelt the delicious smell of meat coming from her mother‟s house. His mother said, “Your birthday is coming next week, so I‟m preparing pork trotters (猪蹄) for you!” Seeing the steaming delicious trotters, he couldn‟t help complaining, “I don‟t like these things at all, so fatty.”
On his way back, he called me, saying that he felt sorry. In fact, he longed to thank his mother and eat up that bowl of trotters. But he felt sorry that it took her too much time and energy. If he didn‟t stop her strictly, he was afraid the same thing would continue. He would rather not eat trotters any more than have his mother overwork. I understand how he felt exactly. Each of us has done like that. Because of feeling sorry for others‟ sacrifice, we purposely harden our heart against accepting others‟ favor and even criticize them severely in order to frighten their goodness away and make them never do that again.
This method may work, but it will hurt each other‟s feelings. It‟s not wrong logically, but we always neglect another sound deep in our heart: because we‟re afraid we can‟t repay them, we‟re unwilling to shoulder others‟ goodness. So we reduce its value and refuse it severely. But to destroy others‟ goodness is also to deny you.
28. Randy refuse to eat the pork trotters his mother cooked because ____.
A. he disliked them at all B. they were really very fatty.
C. they weren‟t his favorite taste D. he didn‟t want her to overwork.
29. Randy telephoned the author to _____.
A. express his apology to his mother B. complain about his mother
C. apologize for his rudeness D. ask for a bowl of trotters.
30. According to the author, we sometimes say “no” to others‟ favor so that ______.
A. they can be frightened away B. they won‟t continue doing that
C. we needn‟t repay them later D. we won‟t feel sorry for their sacrifice
31. In the last paragraph, the author implies that we should ____.
A. refuse others‟ favor immediately B. deal with others‟ favor wisely
C. repay others‟ goodness actively D. shoulder others‟ goodness completely.
D
For a while, I wrote a “Tuesday tip” on my blog Lyonsdenmom.com. It was about easy week-night dinners, organizing parties or perhaps finding time out for friends.
About a year ago, I ran out of tips.
The truth? As a busy working mom with five busy kids, I probably do have a few tips to share. But honestly, the bar is set pretty low---on a recent day when I was walking our dog, a stranger who knew I had five kids said, “Wow! You have a dog, too?! And it even looks like you showered today!” Yes, it‟s true, I shower. Not every day, but most days. See, I‟m telling the truth. Honestly, in this cold winter, I‟m probably taking a shower more to warm up than to clean up.
Other funny truths? I‟m tired. In fact, for the past year, I‟ve been too tired to type up any update on our life here in Lyons Den. It‟s hard to arrange a career with all these kids. Although folks just believe that it must be so much easier now since all the kids are in school, I‟m here to tell you, it‟s not. It‟s really not. When I get home from work, I‟m often tearfully greeted by five kids and five homework folders filled with math facts, invitations, notices and artwork.
All those happy smiling faces I share on Facebook are real. We are a happy family---thank God for that! But we‟re not always smiling, and even in those rare best times when I can get all five kids looking at the camera, the would be that one of them isn‟t wearing underwear, one is pinching (捏) someone behind the scenes and one is just perfectly pronouncing “Damn!” So, less perfectly-posed pictures, but more telling the truth. Even if only on Tuesday.
32. It seems that the author‟s life used to be _____.
A. tiring B. busy C. relaxing D. funny
33. Which of the following is true about the author?
A. She can‟t get along well with her neighbors.
B. She‟s living a happy life with her family
C. She likes to have a shower every day.
D. She has already closed her blog now.
34. Which of the following words can best take the place of the word ?
A. answers. B. chances. C. solutions D. ways.
35. The passage mainly talks about _____.
A. the happiness of a working mother B. the worry of a working mother
C. the hardship of a working mother D. the bittersweet of a working mother
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。选项中有两项为多余选项。
People tend to become more personal and hide less of themselves when using email. Some Britain researchers have found in a recent study that there are good reasons for this.
The team of researchers asked 83 pairs of students, all strangers to each other, to solve a problem. They had to discuss this question: ___36____ The pairs of students had to talk over the problem either face to face or by computers. Dr. Johnson said, “They told their partners four times as much about themselves when they talked over the Internet as when they talked face to face. When the computers were fitted with cameras so that students could see each other, this limited the personal side of the conversation.”
___37___ It was mainly about things such as where they went to school, or where they used to live. But some students discussed their love stories, and personal childhood experiences.
Dr. Johnson believes that emailing encourages people to focus on themselves. __38__ “If you cannot see the

Beautiful cars surrounded by even more beautiful models—it’s no secret why the 2012 Beijing Auto Show was popular.
The exhibition was held between April 23 and May 2. Although renowned companies showed off their top models, it wasn’t just their expensive sports cars that grabbed people’s attention.
Concept cars are a way for designers to test out their ideas on the public with complete freedom. They can try out cars with special features that could not be massively（批量）produced easily.
Designers don’t have to follow industry rules; they don’t even need to worry about whether their cars would be followed on the roads.
At the Beijing Auto Show, the @Ant by Chery was one concept car to draw a lot of attention. China Daily called it “the very definition of a concept car”.
The vehicle is powered by electricity and is capable of driving itself. But the magic doesn’t end there.
The @Ant was inspired by actual ants. According to Car News China, with the help of automated telemetric systems, @Ants are able to “see” other @Ants and compare destination information. If two are heading the same way for a while, the vehicles connect, with one car’ s rear （后面的）wheels matching up with the front wheels of another car. Up to 10 @Ants can be put together and will automatically connect to form a“train". This will help save energy while traveling, as well reducing traffic jams.
The car sounds like a great idea. Further research will be needed to turn this concept car into something for the market, but concepts like Chery’s show how carmakers are working for cleaner and greener vehicles. It’s like what the @Ant motto says, “Exploring future human beings’ lifestyles”.

33. What the designers of the concept car need to do at the Auto Show is ______.
A. to test the safety of the concept car B. to follow the rules in the car industry
C. to show their unique idea of complete freedom D. to see if concept cars can be massively produced
34. The best title of the passage is ______.
A. Concept Cars Are Driving to the Future B. The @Ant Draws a Lot of Attention
C. The @Ant Is a Top Model of Concept Cars D. Concept Cars Are Cleaner and Greener

As most university students are packing their bags, boarding trains or flying home for the Spring Festival, some will stay behind to spend the holiday on campus.
Zhou Yunyun, 22, a senior finance major at Jilin University, has decided that instead of traveling to Hainan province, he will kill the time by playing computer games with his online friends.
“I’m used to chatting and playing with them every day. It’s just fun to make friends this way,” he said. “When I returned home in past years, my relatives always asked me a lot of questions about my plans after graduation. They had high expectations of me, which made me feel stressed,” said Zhou.
The campus, usually lively, will probably turn into a death town, with most restaurants, shops and student centers closed during the break. But there are also a few advantages, according to Jia Debao, 2 1, a junior majoring in administration at China Agricultural University. “I might feel a bit lonely, but at least I can stay away from my parents’ complaining and enjoy the peaceful and quiet stay,” he said. “More importantly, I can enjoy the high speed of the Internet, I can always find empty seats in classrooms, and I don’t have to wait to use the bathroom” But education experts recommend students who stay on campus to come up with more interactive plans. That’s because communication on the Internet can’t replace real life interpersonal relationships.
Society has promoted a kind of “or close-in culture among some young people, according to Shi Tongyu, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. He warned that this kind of lifestyle can damage students’ mental and physical development.
“When you constantly stare at a computer screen and type on your keyboard, you gradually lose the ability to socialize and survive normally,” said Shi. “A human’s most important task is to survive, which cannot be completed by staying at home all the time. Instead, it must be achieved through real life experience and communication. ”

All my life I had loved airports. To me, they were a kind of magic gateway to the world, but today it seemed like a cold and heartless place.
“Well, here we are, the airport, “my sister said with a sigh. As 1 watched her unload my luggage, I could see the sadness in her eyes. One last hug and a final good-bye and I would be on my way to a new life abroad, leaving my beloved sister behind.
I looked at my sister and even though her eyes were filled with tears, she was trying to keep a brave face. “You’d better go or you’ll miss your flight,” she said.
“I am just going to walk away and not look back,” I said.
As I held her one last time she whispered, “Don’t worry about me, I’ll be fine.” “I’ll miss you,” I replied with tears in my eyes. As I promised, I did not look back, but 1 was sobbing. To me it was the end of the world.
While boarding the plane I was still crying. I did not have the energy to put my bag in the overhead locker, so I put it on the empty seat next to mine. As I settled into my chair, a feeling of sadness overwhelmed（淹没）me. I felt like my best friend had just been taken away from me.
The plane shook heavily and the bag fell, with some stuff spreading on the floor. When I bent over to gather the things up, I saw an unfamiliar little book in the middle of my belongings. It was not until I picked it up that I realized that it was a diary.
Immediately I recognized my sister’s handwriting. “Hi, Sis, What a day it has been today. First you let me know that you are moving abroad and then my boss…” My sister had been keeping a diary for the past month and she was now passing it on to me. I was to write in it for the next couple of months and then send it back to her. Even though a large ocean separated us, at some point it felt like she was actually there.

In the near future, we may be using our eyes to operate our smart-phones and tablets, even when it comes to playing popular games like Fruit Ninja.
The Gaze Group has been developing eye-controlled computer technology for nearly 20 years. But those devices have been firstly designed to help those with disabilities, and are very expensive.
“After a while, we figured out that probably the best way is to go for a mass-market way,” says Gaze’s Sune Alstrup Johansen. “where everybody would have this available.”
