23、：0.00)AEver since news of widespread food recalls caused by a carcinogenic dye broke, there has been confusion over possible links to the country of the same name, but Sudan officials say there is no connection whatever.Sudan 1 is a red industrial dye that has been found in some chilli powder, but w
24、as banned in food products across the European Union (EU) in July 2003.Since the ban was put in place, EU officials have been striving to remove some food products from the shelves. So far 580 products have been recalled. Last week Sudans Embassy in the United Kingdom asked the Food Standards Agency
25、 (FSA) for clarification of the origin of the dyes name.Omaima Mahmoud A1 Sharief, a press official at Sudans Embassy in China, explained the purpose of the inquiry was to clear up any misunderstanding over links between the country and the poisonous dye.“We want to keep an eye on every detail and a
26、void any misunderstanding there,“ she said. “Our embassy to Britain asked them how the dye got that name and whether the dye had something to do with our country. But they told us there was no relationship.“The FSA, an independent food-security watchdog in Britain, received a letter from the Sudans
27、Embassy last week.“They asked us why the dye is named Sudan, however, we also do not know how it got the name,“ she said. “People found the dye in 1883 and gave it the name. Nobody knows the reason, and we cannot give any explanation before we find out.“Sudan dyes, which include Sudan 1 to 4, are re

31、to the CountryC.How Sudan 1 Dye Got Its Name?D.Pay Attention to the Food SafetyBCARIFF, Wales poets, singers and musicians from across the globe gathered in Wales to celebrate the tradition of storytelling.“It might seem strange that people still want to listen to it instead of watching television,
32、but this is an unusual art form whose time has come again,“ said David Ambrose, director of “Beyond the Border“, an international storytelling festival in Wales.“Some of the tales, like those of the Inuit from Canada, are thousands of years old. So our storytellers have come from distant lands to co
33、nnect us with the distance of time,“ he said early this month.Two Inuit women, both in their mid 60s, are among the few remaining who can do Kntadjait, or throat singing, which has few words and much sound.Their art is governed by the cold of their surroundings forcing them to say little but listen
34、attentively.Ambrose started the festival in 1993, after several years of working with those reviving storytelling in Wales.“It came out of a group of people who wanted to reconnect with traditions and as all the Welsh are storytellers, it was in good hands here,“ Ambrose said.（分数：4.00）(1).Ambrose be

They are no longer places tha
38、t one “should“ go to but now they are places to enjoy.At a science museum in Canada, you can feel your hair stand on end as harmless electricity passes through your body. At the Childrens Museum in New York, you can play an African drum. There are no “Do Not Touch“ signs in some other museums in the
39、 USA.More and more museum directors have realized that people learn best when they can become part of what they are seeing. In many science museums, the visitors are encouraged to touch, listen, operate and experiment so as to discover scientific rules for themselves.The purpose is not only to provi
40、de fun, but also help people feel at home in the world of science. If people dont understand science, they will be afraid of it; and if they are afraid of science, they will not make the best use of it.One cause of all these changes is the increase in wealth and spare time. Another cause is the grow
41、ing number of young people in the population. Many of them are college students or college graduates. They see things in a new and different way. They want art that they can take part in. The same is true of science and history.The old museums have been changing and the government is encouraging the

44、How many museums or so were there in the United States and Canada 25 years ago?（分数：1.00）A.3,500.B.2,000.C.3,000.D.6,000.(4).Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?（分数：1.00）A.People learn best in the modern museums only in the US.B.People are encouraged to take part in what they
45、are seeing in modern museums.C.People are enjoying themselves fully in modern museums.D.People will understand science better by trying to discover the scientific rules themselves.DAmericans smoke six thousand million cigarettes every year, that is, every person smokes about 4,195 cigarettes a year
46、in the country of 18 years of age or more. It has been calculated that 51% of American men smoke while 34% of American women do so.Since 1939, scientific studies have shown that smoking does great harm to ones health and it will shorten ones life.Cigarette smoking is believed, by most research worke
47、rs in the field, a very important cause in the development of the cancer of the lungs and the cancer of the throat and is believed to have much to do with some other kinds of cancers. Cigarette smokers suffer from the illness of the heart more often than those who dont smoke. But strange, yet true,
48、women are thought to be less affected, because when women smoke, they usually dont breathe in the smoke so deeply. Most of doctors and researchers say, “Give up smoking. If you dont smoke-dont start!“Filters (过滤嘴) are required now to make smoking a bit safer, but they can only reduce, not get rid of
49、, its poison.But there are still a number of doctors and research workers who are less sure of the effect of cigarette smoking on health. They believe that the cancers of the lungs, the throat and so on may also be caused by air pollution, or chemical poison that is now being used by farmers in large quantities to destroy plant pests and small animals.（分数：5.00）(1)._each smoke about 4,195 cigarettes a year.（分数：1.00）A.AmericansB.America
