One day he noticed that his chickens became sick when they were fed the food most Javanese ate refined white rice (精炼米). When he fed them with unrefined rice, a
18、lso known as brown rice, they recovered. Eijkman realized that he had made an important discovery that some things in food could prevent disease. These things were named vitamins (维生素).

24、not see the stars for a while . It makes me pause and think about how I will live on in the hearts and minds of my children and of those for whom I care . Would I have been as ready as Philip Lawrence have been to face the aggressors (挑衅者), and to lay down my life for those in my care ? How many peo
25、ple would want me back for Christmas ? Its a serious thought , one to give me pause . I pray silently, sometimes , in the dead of night , that ancient cry of a poet “Deliver my soul from the sword , and my darling from the power of the dog .” Yet I know the death comes to us all , and sometimes come

31、iety . C The other day, my friend Jane was invited to a 40th birthday party. The time printed on the invitation was 7.30pm. Jane went off with her husband, expecting a merry evening of wine, food, and song.By 9.45, everybody was having great fun, but no food had appeared. Jane and David were restles
32、s. Other guests began whispering that they, too, were starving. But no one wanted to leave, just in case some food was about to appear. By 11.00, there was still no food, and everyone was completely off their heads. Jane and David left hungry and angry.Their experience suggests that the words on the
33、 printed invitations need to be made clearer. Everyone reads and understands the invitations differently. Most of us would agree that 6.30 -8.30pm means drinks only, go out to dinner afterwards; 8.00pm or 8.30pm means possible dinner, but 9.30pm and any time thereafter means no food, oat beforehand,
34、 roll up late.But this is not always the case. If asked to a students party at 6.30pm, it is normal for guests not to appear before midnight, if at all, and no one cares.

My age group （late thirties） falls somewhere between the two, but because we still think were young, were probably closer to student-time than grown-up time.The accepted custom at present is confusing （混乱的）, sometimes annoying, and it often means you may go h
36、ome hungry, but it does lend every party that precious element （成分） of surprise.( )46. The underlined words off their heads probably mean_.A. tired B. crazy C. curious D. hopeless( )47. Jane and David s story is used to show that_ .A. petty-goer8 usually get hungry at partiesB. party invitations can
37、 be confusing C. people should ask for food at parties D. birthday parties for middle-aged people are dull( )48. For some young people, arriving on time for a students party will probably be considered_. A. very difficult B. particularly thoughtful C. friendly and polite D. socially unacceptable( )4
38、9. According to the writer, people in their late thirties_.A. are likely to arrive late for a party B. care little about the party time C. haven t really grown up yet D. like surprises at parties( )50. What is the general idea of the text? A. It s safe to arrive late just when food is served. B. It

It s necessary to read invitations carefully.四、 根据首字母或中文提示完成句子（共10题，每题1分）51.The children s age r_from 8 to 15.52.The factory turns out a large q_ of paper products.53.John often comes into c_
