To discover whether bees can see colors, the following experiment is set up. A table is put in a garden and on the table is a piece of blue cardboard (硬纸板) with a drop of syrup (糖浆) on it. After a short time, bees come to the syrup. The bees then fly to their hive (蜂窝) and give the syrup to other bees in the hive. Then they return to the feeding-place which they have discovered. After a while, the blue cardboard with the syrup on it is taken away. Instead of this card, a blue card is now put on the left side of the first feeding-place and a red card to its right. These new card have no syrup on them. Thus, the blue card is on the left, the red card on the right, and there is nothing where the first blue feeding-card used to be. Very soon bees arrive again, and fly straight to the blue card. None to the red card.
小题1:To do the experiment, altogether how many cards do you need to prepare?

On our first evening, we sat around the fire after supper listening to the stories our uncle told of his many adventures in distant countries.

Last year I had a wonderful experience. I went on a student exchange to Japan. It was an exciting time of my life and I       learned many things about the school system in Japan. I was in Grade 11, which is second year of high school in Japan, but I was younger than most of my classmates. That’s because Japanese children enter first year of elementary school (小学) in April following their sixth birthday. I started school when I was still five years old.
In Japan, Children attend elementary school for six years, where they study Japanese, arithmetic, science, social studies, music, crafts, physical education, and home economics (simple cooking and sewing skills). During their three years in middle school, English is added to this list. Most schools have access to computers and the Internet.
The classes in my school seemed rather big to me, around 30 students in a typical high school class. We ate lunch in the classroom, instead of a cafeteria and enjoyed a healthy, nutritious meal prepared by the school or by a local “school lunch centre” instead of eating the same, dry sandwiches every day. I really like the Japanese interpretation of school lunches. I also enjoyed the field trips and activities. At Japanese schools, there are many school events during the year, such as field day when students compete in tug-of-war, field trips, and arts and cultural festivals.
小题1:The writer went to Japan _____ last year.
A.to visit his family memebersB.to finish his high school there
C.to study as an exchange studentD.to do research on school system in Japan
小题2:Children in Japan may start their elementary school at the age of ____.
A.5B.6C.7D.11
小题3:Japanese students start to learn English _____.
A. before they start their school yearB.when they are in elementary school
C.when they are in middle schoolD.when they are in high school
小题4:In the writer’s country, there are normally _____ students in a high school class.
A.less than 30B.exactly 30C.more than 30D.Not certain
小题5: In the writer’s country, students probably _____.
A.have lunch in the classroomB.have different lunch every day
C.have lunch at homeD.have sandwiches for lunch

In 1955, a man named Raymond Kroc entered a partnership with two brothers named McDonald. They opened a popular restaurant in California which sold food that was easy to prepare and serve quickly. Hamburgers, French fries, and cold drinks were the main food there. Kroc opened similar eating places under the same name, “McDonald’s”, and they were an instant success. He later took over the company, and today it is one of the most famous and successful “fast-food” in America and round the world.  
Why was his idea successful? Probably the most important reason was that his timing was right. In the 1950s, most married women stayed home to keep house and take care of their children. In the 1960s, many women returned to the workplace. This meant that they had less time or energy to prepare meals, so they spent more on “ TV dinners ” and fast-food restaurants. Single parents also have little time to spend in the kitchen. People living alone also depend on this type of food, since cooking for one is often more trouble than it is worth.
Fast-food is not part of the diet of all Americans. Another trend of the 1960s, sometimes called the back-to-nature movement influenced many people to avoid food that was packaged or processed(处理). This preference for natural food continued to this day.
From the success of Raymond Kroc’s fast-food business, we can say that social economic trends influence where and what we eat.
小题1:The underlined sentence “Cooking for one is often more trouble than it is worth” means that ______.
A.cooking for some people is worth more money
B.it is not worthwhile to take too much time to cook for one person
C.there are more problems when one person cooks
D.divorce (离婚) causes people to change their eating habits
小题2:An idea implied but not directly stated in the reading is that ________.
A.many married women began to work in the 1960s
B.natural foods are still popular today
C.fast food is not part of the diet of all Americans
D.divorce causes people to change their eating habits
小题3:McDonald’s success lies in the following causes BUT_________.
A.people living alone tend to depend on fast food
B.single parents have little time to spend in the kitchen
C.many women returned to the workplace in the 1960s
D.Kroc chose the “Mc Donald” brothers as his partners
小题4:The main idea of the reading is that ________.
A.Raymond Kroc is the most successful fast-food business owner in the world
B.social and economic changes affect eating habits
C.fast-food is easy to prepare and serve quickly
D.Americans eat either fast food or natural food
