Finally, during the Middle Ages the vege
16、table made its way to Europe. At that time, eggplant was not the shiny purple vegetable most people know today. Instead, it was like a white egg. Due to this egg-like appearance, eggplant got its name. In its early days, the vegetable was so bitter that people often called it a “mad apple.” This nic
17、kname started because people believed its bitterness was bad for ones health. People actually thought eggplant could cause insanity(精神错乱) and cancer.Fortunately, today people know that eggplant doesnt cause insanity or cancer. In fact, eggplant is so healthy that it may prevent cancer. In addition,
18、the brain and the heart benefit from this super vegetable.

24、ding our families together really arent. Need proof? Let me share our story. My family is a fairly typical American foursome. Ten years ago, we moved into our dream house a spacious, three-story historic home thinking it would bring us the joy we desired. It was a beautiful place, but as our childre
25、n grew up, our sense of togetherness began to fade away. In the big dream house, we scattered in different directions.One day when my daughter, Hannah, was 14, she became upset about the differences between the worlds haves and the have-nots. She challenged us to be “a family that makes a difference
26、 in the world, even if its a small difference.” My wife, Joan, asked her, “What are you willing to sacrifice? Your house? Your room?” Hannah said yes to both. After talking it over as a family, we decided to sell our house and move to one that was half its size and price and donate the money to char
27、ity.First, we needed to figure out where our money would go, a process that took about a year. We finally chose The Hunger Project, a U.S.-based nonprofit that works with villagers in Africa, Asia and South America and helps them move from poverty to self-reliance. Before we downsized, we were a lit
28、tle worried. Had we made too big a sacrifice? Two years later, I can tell you: Its the best move we have ever made.As we worked together on our family project, those interconnected moments became more frequent. The more we shared, the more we laughed, teased and bonded. As Hannah said the other day,
29、 “We learned how to really trust each other.”We dont expect anyone else to copy what we did and sell their home. But most people can find some commodity in their lives they could give up, whether its time (halving the hours of TV you watch each week and volunteering instead?) or stuff (donating half
30、 the clothes in your closet?). Like us, your family could set out to make a small difference in the world and transform yourselves in the process.31. Why couldnt the dream house bring the author the happiness as he had expected?A. Because the happy family feeling of closeness became less strong.B. B
31、ecause the dream house was too big for his family.C. Because his children didnt like the dream house at all.D. Because his children have grown up and want to be independent.32. According to the second paragraph, Hannah _. A. showed no concern about the poor B. was reluctant to give up her houseC. wa
32、s a very sympathetic person D. thought individuals have little effect on the world33. It can be implied that .A. the author regretted selling his house and giving money away.B. the author made a well-considered decision to donate the money.C. the Hunger Project aims to help the poor by continually g
33、iving them money.D. the feeling of togetherness was gained again by living in a smaller house.34. In order to make a difference in the world, the author calls on other families _.A. to sell their houses B. not to watch TVC. to do something they can D. to sell half the clothes35. Whats the best title
34、 of the passage?A. What Togetherness Is B. Why We Gave Away Our HomeC. What We Should Do for Our Home D. Why We Are Not Satisfied with Our LifeCMost people hate change, which is sad since we often go through intense changes in life. And for some of us, even the smallest changes can upset our day. So
35、 the question is: Why do most of us find making adjustments to our lives so hard?Fear of change is nothing new. Over a century ago, the Parisians were unhappy over a particular addition to their city: the Eiffel Tower. In fact, the citizens were so angry about the plans for the tower that they prote
36、sted its construction. As strange as it may seem, their anger was completely natural. They were given no choice about the huge change that was going to be made, so they became angry.But we get upset over changes even when we do have a say in the matter and think about them carefully. Changes are bro
37、ught about every day by the decisions we make: which school to attend, which job to take, whom to marry. Voluntary changes also make most of us uneasy because we dont know how those changes will affect our future.People have discovered that the key to overcoming the fear and anger associated with ch
38、ange is to be flexible. When they are flexible, people can adapt to new situations more easily. Being flexible is especially important in the 21st century as technology makes change occur faster than ever before. Those who oppose change, especially with technology in the workplace, may find themselv
39、es out of a job.When change comes, and you have no choice but to face it, embrace it. A positive attitude helps a lot. In fact, the change may turn out to be the best thing for you. That new job you got may end up being much better than your old one. You may make the best friends of your life in the
40、 new city you moved to. Dont merely focus on how you feel about change; instead decide to accept the change. The change is the reality, and its up to you whether the change will be a success or a failure. You never know your next change may be your lifes Eiffel Tower!36. Why did the building of the
41、Eiffel Tower make the Parisians unhappy?A. Because they didnt like the design of the Eiffel Tower.B. Because they couldnt avoid accepting the Eiffel Tower.C. Because it was no use building the Eiffel Tower.D. Because the Eiffel Tower seemed strange.37. According to the passage, it can be inferred th
42、at what wont disturb us are _.A. the changes that have agreement with ones willB. the small changes we meet in our daily life www.ks5 高#考#资#源#网C. the changes whose effect we can predict and controlD. the changes that we discuss or consider thoroughly38.

43、the changes bring?A. We are not supposed to face the changes and let them alone.B. We should actively accustom ourselves to the new circumstance.C. We should not take the changes seriously and avoid them as much as possible.D. We should know that the changes merely bring us bad influence.39. What do
44、es the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?A. The change will probably make you fail like the Eiffel Tower.B. The change is like the Eiffel Tower which is not good for our future life.C. Your future life is never known just like the Eiffel Tower unknown to the Parisians.D. Your future lif

The Bad Effect of ChangesDNicolaus Copernicus (1473-1543) changed the world by challenging the common beliefs of

Thanks to Copernicus theories, the entire Western world began to shift its perspective from an Earth-centered universe to a sun-centered system.Copernicus-was born into a wealthy merchant family in Poland in
47、1473. When his father died, l0-year-old Copernicus moved in with his uncle.

48、s interest. But he left before finishing his degree, as was common at the time, and went to serve in the church in Frombork. Then he followed in his uncles footsteps by studying at the University of Bologna. While there, he lived with Domenico Maria Novara, the schools chief astronomy professor. Nov
49、ara was probably the first person Copernicus had ever met who dared to challenge the l,400-year-old conclusions of that eras paramount (至高无上的) astronomer: Ptolemy.Although busy with church work, Copernicus made time for his scientific work, finding several problems with Ptolemys Earth-centered model
50、. More significantly, Copernicus found that a sun-centered model with a revolving Earth fit the data much better. While his conclusions would answer astronomers questions, Copernicus was well aware that “moving the Earth” would shake the foundations of everyone elses worldview. So sometime before 15
51、14, he carefully revealed his conclusions, gradually introducing them in an essay he sent only to various colleagues in philosophy and astronomy. Over the next several years, he refined his results while his theory circulated around Europe, spreading his reputation as a remarkable astronomer.In 1539
52、, Rheticus, a young mathematician, fascinated by his conclusions, worked with Copernicus to publish an introduction to his sun-centered universe model. Its success pushed Copernicus to complete and publish his entire, massive six-volume work, On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres, at the end of
53、 his life. Legend holds that Copernicus held a published copy of his lifes work on his deathbed on May 24, 1543.41. What achievement did Copernicus make in astronomy?A.

56、enon that people worked for the churchC. Ptolemys Earth-centered model proved to be true D. Copernicus finished his studies at the University of Cracow44. Why was Copernicus cautious to make his theory public?A. Because Earth-centered model had been taking root in peoples mind.B. Because he had no c
