　　(2015·怀化高三模拟)Over the centuries the French have lost a number of famous battles with the British. However, they’ve always felt superior in the kitchen. France has for centuries had a reputation for cooking excellence，and Britain for some of the worst cooking in the world.But according to a recent survey，that_reputation_may_no_longer_reflect_reality.

　　In the survey,71% of the Britons said they cook at home every day，while only 59% of the French said they cook daily.British home cooks spend more time cooking each week and also produce a greater variety of dishes than French home cooks.

　　The reaction in London was predictably enthusiastic. British food has greatly improved since the 1990s.Once upon a time，the menu for many family meals would have been roast beef，potatoes and over－cooked vegetables，but not now. Home cooks are experimenting with the huge range of ingredients now available in British supermarkets and are preparing all kinds of new dishes，using the cookbooks that sell millions of copies every year.As a result，there’s much more diversity in British food now，compared to French food，which tends to be very traditional.

　　Some French people say that the survey did not show the whole picture.They agree that during the week French women don’t cook as much as they used to because most of them work and don’t have much time.They tend to buy ready－made or frozen dishes，but many of them make up for it on the weekend.There’s also a difference between Paris and the countryside.It’s true that people in Paris don’t cook much，but elsewhere，cooking is still at the heart of daily life.

　　For many French people，opinions about British food have not changed. When Bernard Blier，the food editor at a magazine，was asked about British food，he replied，“I don’t go out of my way to try it.It is not very refined. You can say that I’m not a fan at all.”

　　(2015·长沙一中月考)You know eating fruit and vegetable does good.But do you know it can also make you look good? People who increased their intake over just six weeks developed a healthy glow and appeared more attractive，researchers found.Scientists at St Andrews University found eating them slightly increased yellow and red pigments in the volunteers’ skin.They monitored the food intake of 35 people and took pictures of their faces，arms and hands using a sensitive camera at the start，and after three and six weeks.Increasing their intake of greens by 2.9 portions a day was found to make the person look healthier and extra 3.3 portions could enhance their attractiveness，when their photographs were rated by others.

　　Fruit and vegetables are rich in carotenoids(类胡萝卜素)，which are known to protect against cell damage from pollution and UV rays，and can also prevent age－related diseases including heart disease and cancer.But while it was known eating extreme amounts of certain vegetables such as carrots could turn skin orange，it was not known a small increase was perceptible(被察觉) to others and was seen as appealing.

　　A camera measured changes to the skin’s redness，yellowness and lightness，and found it significantly changed in people who naturally increased their intake.These changes were not evident in three weeks.Using light sensors，the researchers showed these red and yellow hues were linked with the levels of carotenoids in their skin.There are hundreds of carotenoids but those thought to have the most dramatic effect are lycopene(番茄红素)which gives tomatoes and red peppers their red color and beta－carotene found in carrots as well as broccoli，squash，and spinach.Skin color is also affected by chemicals called polyphenols(多元酚)，found in apples，blueberries and cherries，which cause blood rush to the skin surface.

　　6．What do we know from the research?

　　A．If you take in a little more fruit and vegetables，you will obviously look more attractive in three weeks.

　　B．The researchers took the pictures of the 35 people in the research at different stages.

　　C．Increasing your intake of greens by 2.9 portions a day can greatly improve your health.

　　D．People who increased their intake of greens by 3.3 portions a day were found the most attractive after six weeks.

　　7．Which of the following is NOT the function of carotenoids?

　　A．They can protect against cell damage from pollution and UV rays.

　　B．They can prevent heart disease and caner.

　　C．They can prevent age－related diseases.

　　D．They can keep you in good health.

　　8．Which of the statements is NOT true according to the passage?

　　C．The research show the improvement in skin is linked with the levels of carotenoids in it.

　　D．Among hundreds of carotenoids，lycopene is thought to have the most dramatic effect on the skin.

　　9．We can infer from the passage that________.

　　A．skin’s redness，yellowness and lightness make a person look more healthy and attractive.

　　B．carotenoids have the same effect as lycopene.

　　C．it is carotenoids that give tomatoes and red peppers their red colour.

　　D．both beta－carotene and polyphenols affect skin colour by causing blood rush to the skin surface.

　　10．Which can be the best title of the passage?

　　A．Eating fruit and vegetables does good

　　B．Fruit and vegetables are rich in carotenoids

　　C．How to become attractive

　　D．Eating fruit and vegetables makes you look good

　　(2015·桑植一中、黄仓中学高三联考)What do you usually use your cellphone for? Calling friends or sending them text messages?

　　As technology develops，nowadays cellphones can do much more than that.They have become all－in－one cell－phones.

　　A typical example is Apple’s phone.The touch－screen cellphone plays music，connects to the Web，sends emails and takes photos.More than 1 million Apple’s phones have been sold since it was sold in June.

　　“Today’s young people enjoy using all kinds of digital functions，such as those of a music player，a camera and even a computer.An all－in－one cellphone is easy to carry.That is the goal of developing a technology to make our lives more convenient，simple and relaxed，”said Professor Ding Shouqian at Nankai University.

　　However，the all－in－one cellphones come with some problems.Users have complained that they are too complicated to use them，and that their battery life is too short.Cellphone producers say that they are working hard to make their phones even better.

　　It is very convenient to use it.“We are trying to make the cellphones in a way that people can quickly move from phoning to taking pictures to listening to music，”said Alastair Curtis，Nokia’s chief designer.“If you look at the Nokia 3250 model，it has a twisting(转动) bottom.So you twist it half a turn，and it’s in camera mode.You twist it another 90 degrees，and it’s in music player mode.”Japanese companies such as Toshiba and Fujitsu are also working to develop a new kind of battery for cellphones.

　　If all the problems are solved in the future，all－in－one phones will change our lives for the better.

　　(2015·湖南师大附中月考)Planting trees around poultry farms can improve air and water quality—and relations with neighbors.Research has shown that just three rows of trees near poultry houses can reduce the release of dust and ammonia(氨)．They can also reduce the strong odor of ammonia gas.

　　The trees take dust, ammonia and odors in their leaves.They also provide shade from the sun, so they reduce cooling costs in summer.And they act as a windbreak, so they reduce heating costs in winter.Trees can also improve water quality around farms by removing pollutions from soil and groundwater.

　　Several years ago, people were objecting to the odor of poultry farms on the Delmarva Peninsula in the eastern United States.Delmarva is where the states of Delaware, Maryland and Virginia come together.Two thousand farms there can each house an average of seventy－five thousand chickens.

　　Traditionally the farms used windows to provide fresh air in the chicken houses.Farmers rarely planted trees or tall crops around the buildings，so there would be no barrier to the airflow.But then farms began to use new ventilation systems.Instead of windows，the new systems used tunnel fans to circulate air.The fans directed airflow from the poultry houses toward the homes of neighbors.

　　Researchers began dealing with the problem in 2000.They found that over a period of six years，planting three rows of trees reduced total dust and ammonia by more than half.And they found that smells were reduced by 18%.

　　Farmers may think trees will take too long to grow and be effective.But some trees can grow quickly.At least one－third of the Delmarva farms have planted trees，technically known as vegetative environmental buffers.The idea offers a way to cut pollution，save money and energy，and make the neighbors happy.
