Its chicken soup, one prominent American food expert says.From Russian villages to Africa and Asia, chicken soup has b
29、een the remedy for those weak in body and spirit. Mothers passed their knowledge on to ancient writers of Greece, China and Rome, and even 12th century philosopher and physician Moses Maimonides extolled (赞美)its virtues.Among the ancients, Aristotle thought poultry should stand in higher estimation
30、than four-legged animals because the air is less dense than the earth. Chickens got another boost (吹捧)in the Book of Genesis, where it is written that birds and fish were created on the fifth day, a day before four-legged animals.But according to Mimi Sheraton, who has spent much of the past three y
31、ears exploring the world of chicken soup, much of the reason for chickens real or imagined curative (治愈的)powers comes from its color.Her new book, “The Whole World Loves Chicken Soup“, looks at the beloved and mysterious brew, with dozens of recipes from around the world. Throughout the ages, she sa
32、id, “There has been a lot of feeling that white-colored foods are easier to eat for the weak woman and the ill“.In addition, “soups, or anything for that matter eaten with a spoon“ are considered “comfort foods“ Sheraton said. “I love soup and love making soup and as I was collecting recipes I began
33、 to see this as an international dish. It has a universal mystique as something curative, a strength builder,“ Sheraton said from her New York home.Her book treats the oldest remedy as if it was brand new.The National Broiler Council, the trade group representing the chicken industry, reported that
34、51 percent of the people it surveyed said they bought chicken because it was healthier, 50 percent said it was versatile, 41 percent said it was economical and 46 percent said it was low in fat.(分数:15.00)(1).Which of the following can be the best title of the passage? _(分数:3.00)A.Prominent American

38、A, 85% of the population over the age of 21 approve of the death penalty. In the many states which still have the death penalty, some use the electric chair, which can take up 20 minutes to kill, while others use gas or lethal injection.The first of these was the case of Ruth Ellis who was hanged fo
39、r shooting her lover in what was generally regarded as a crime passion. The second was hanged for murders which, it was later proved, had been committed by someone else.The pro-hanging lobby (赞成极刑的活动集团) uses four main arguments to support its call for the reintroduction of capital punishment. First
40、there is the deterrence theory, which argues that potential murders would think twice before committing the act if they knew that they might die if they were caught. The armed bank robber might, likewise, go back to being unarmed.The other two arguments are more suspect. The idea of retribution dema
41、nds that criminals should get what they deserve: if a murderer intentionally set out to commit a crime, he should accept the consequences. Retribution, which is just another word for revenge, is supported by the religious doctrine of an eye for an eye or a tooth for a tooth.The arguments against the
42、 death penalty are largely humanitarian (人道主义的). But there are also statistical reasons for opposing it: the deterrence figures do not add up. In Britain, 1903 was the record year for execution and yet in 1904 the number of murders actually rose. There was a similar occurrence in 1946 and 1947. If t
43、he deterrence theory were correct, the rate should have fallen.The other reasons to oppose the death penalty are largely a matter of individual conscience and belief. One is that murder is murder and that the state has no more right to take a life than the individual. The other is that Christianity
44、advises forgiveness, not revenge.(分数:15.00)(1).All of the following death penalty methods are mentioned in the passage EXCEPT_.(分数:3.00)A.the electric chairB.the lethal injectionC.the poisonous gasD.the shooting(2).According to the first four paragraphs, which of the following statements is NOT corr
45、ect? _.(分数:3.00)A.Ruth Ellis was shot by his lover, which was regarded as a crime of passion.B.The death penalty may help the potential murderers to arouse moral awareness.C.The intentional murderer should eat his own hitter fruit.D.According to the religious doctrine, punishment should be as severe
46、 as the injury suffered.(3).In paragraph 3, “deterrence“ means _(分数:3.00)A.proclamationB.protestC.preventionD.protection(4).We can learn from the last paragraph that _(分数:3.00)A.neither the state nor the individual has the right to taken a lifeB.the state has the right to take a life but the individ
47、ual does notC.the death penalty has nothing to do with individual conscience and beliefD.the deterrence figures have added up and the execution rate has fallen(5).The passage is mainly about_(分数:3.00)A.the argument in favor of the death penaltyB.the argument against the death penaltyC.the argument a
48、bout the abolition of the death penaltyD.the argument about the reintroduction of the death penaltyB第三篇/BB Nuclear Power and Its Danger/BNuclear powers danger to health, safety, and even life itself can be summed up in one word: radiation.Nuclear radiation has a certain mystery, about it, partly because it cannot be detected by human senses. It cant be seen or heard, or touched, or tasted, even though it may be all around us. There are other things like that. For example, radio waves are all around us but we cant detect them, sen
