　　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A.B.C和D项中，选出最佳选项。

　　Chocolate soap is supposed to be good for the skin. But it’s not so good for the tongue. Unfortunately for the US soldiers of World War II, the chocolate bars the army gave them tasted like they were intended for use in the bath.

　　In the army’s defense, it wasn’t trying to win any cooking awards. In fact, it specifically ordered that its chocolate bars not be too delicious, so soldiers wouldn’t eat them too quickly. These bars were created for survival, not taste. “They were awful,” John Otto, a former army captain in World War II said. “They were big, thick things, and they weren’t any good. I tried ’em, but I had to be awful hungry after I tried them once.”

　　As unappealing as the chocolate bars were to some, others liked them. Samuel Hinkle, the chemist who created the chocolate bars, pointed out that the number of bars made were far greater than the army needed. “It soon became obvious that the generous American soldiers were sharing their valued possessions with their foreign friends, whether soldiers of other countries or local citizens.”

　　The bars turned many hungry Europeans into friends of the United States. “People wanted them,” said Otto. “You’d give them to kids. In some places they were very hungry. And they sure helped relax people about American soldiers.”

　　Otto said he never saw a European turn his or her nose up at the chocolate. “It was food,” he said. “At that time, everyone was very hungry. I saw German kids standing outside the U.S. army kitchen. They weren’t begging, just standing there very politely. When we were done, the kids would eat the food out of the garbage. They were that hungry.”

　　Other Europeans did not see chocolate until well after the war ended. “We didn’t see any Americans where I was,” said Elizabeth Radsma, who was 25 years old when the Germans occupied her country, the Netherlands. “Even after the war, we saw only English. Maybe the Americans gave out some chocolate in the big cities, but we were only in a small town. Before the British, we saw only German soldiers. But chocolate? Don’t make me laugh! Maybe in my dreams!”

　　A soldier in the field might have responded “Be careful what you wish for” — and then gratefully bit down on a chocolate bar, the only food available for miles.

　　1. What was the American soldiers’ attitude towards the chocolate bars?

　　A. They were delicious.

　　B. They tasted awful.

　　C. They were necessary for survival.

　　D. Too many of them were produced.

　　2. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

　　A. The US soldiers used the chocolate bars as bath soap.

　　B. The US soldiers did not have enough food during World War II.

　　C. The US army produced more chocolate bars than necessary for its soldiers.

　　D. European people regretted eating chocolate bars from the US soldiers.

　　3. The underlined expression “turn his or her nose up at” probably means ________.

　　A. reject

　　B. demand

　　C. receive

　　D. smell

　　4. Why does the author mention the German kids’ story?

　　A. To tell how friendly the American soldiers were.

　　B. To describe the hunger in post-war Germany.

　　C. To prove German kids could be very polite.

　　D. To show how much they were eager for chocolates.

　　5. Elizabeth Radsma never saw chocolate during the war because _________.

　　A. the US soldiers handed out all of them to people in big cities

　　B. the German soldiers kept them all for themselves

　　C. the British soldiers didn’t share them with the local people

　　D. the US soldiers never showed up in the small town she lived in

　　阅读理解。阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

　　I grew up in a house where the TV was seldom turned on and with one wall in my bedroom entirely lined with bookshelves, most of my childhood was spent on books I could get hold of. In fact, I grew up thinking of reading as natural as breathing and books unbelievably powerful in shaping perspectives (观点) by creating worlds we could step into, take part. in. and live in.

　　With this unshakable belief, I, at. fourteen, decided to become a writer. Here too, reading became useful. Every writer starts off knowing that he has something to say, but being unable to find the right ways to say it. He has to find his own voice by reading widely and discovering which parts of the writers he agrees or disagrees with, or agrees with so strongly that it reshapes his own world. He cannot write without loving to read, because only through reading other people’s writing can one discover what works, what doesn’t and, in the end, together with lots of practice, what voice he has.

　　Now I am in college, and have come to realize how important it is to read fiction (文学作品)．As a. law student, my reading is in fact limited to subject matter—the volume (量) of what I have to read for classes every week means there is little time to read anything else. Such reading made it all the clearer to me that I live in a very small part in this great place called life. Reading fiction reminds me that there is life beyond my own. It allows me to travel across the high seas and along the Silk Road, all from the comfort of my own armchair, to experience, though secondhand, exciting experiences that I wouldn't necessarily be able to have in my lifetime.

　　Boiler rooms are often dirty and steamy, but this one is clean and cool. Fox Point is a very new47-unit living building in South Bronx, one of the city’s poorest areas. Two-thirds of the people living there are formerly (以前) homeless people, whose rent is paid by the government. The rest are low-income families.

　　The boiler room has special equipment, which produces energy for electricity and heat. It reuses heat that would otherwise be lost to the air, reducing carbon emissions(碳排放)while also cutting costs.

　　Fox Point is operated by Palladian, a group that specializes in providing housing and services to needy, people. Palladian received support from Enterprise Community Partners (ECP), which helps build affordable housing by providing support to housing developers.

　　ECP has created national standards for healthy, environmentally (环境方面) clever and affordable homes which are called, the Green Communities Standards. These standards include water keeping, energy saving and the use of environmentally friendly building materials.

　　Meeting the standards increases housing construction costs by 2%, which is rapidly paid back by lower running costs. Even the positioning of a window to get most daylight can help save energy.

　　Michael. Bloomberg, New York's mayor, plans to create 165,000 affordable housing units for500,000 New Yorkers. Almost 80% of New York City’s greenhouse-gas emissions come from buildings, and 40% of those are caused, by housing. So he recently announced that the city’s Department of Housing and Preservation and Development (DHPD) , whose duty is to develop and keep the city’s supply of affordable housing, will require all its new projects to follow ECP’s green standards.

　　Similar measures have been taken by other cities such as Cleveland and Denver, but New York’s DHPD is the largest city developer of affordable housing in the country.

　　(

　　) 1. What is the purpose of describing the boiler room in the first paragraph?

　　A. To explain the measures the city takes to care for poor people.

　　B. To suggest that affordable housing is possible in all areas.

　　D. To compare old and new boiler rooms.

　　) 2. What is an advantage of the buildings meeting the Green Communities Standards?

　　A. Lower running costs.

　　C. Less air to be lost in hot days.

　　D. Better prices for homeless people.

　　) 3. It can be learned from the text that,

　　B. people’s daily life causes many carbon emissions in New York City

　　C. a great number of people in New York City don't have houses to live in

　　D. some other cities have developed more affordable housing than New York City

　　(

　　) 4. What is the main purpose of this text?

　　A. To call on people to pay more attention to housing problems.

　　D. To introduce healthy, environmentally clever-and affordable housing.
