We now kind of laugh at that”和下文中的“Americans, therefore, apparently arent entirely ready to say goodbye t
51、o the artificial colors in various kinds of food.”可知，B项“但是生产商知道颜色对食物产生的影响”承上启下，符合语境。第三部分：语言运用(共两节，满分30分)第一节：完形填空(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题的(A、B、C、D)四个选项中，选出适合填入对应空白处的最佳选项。Advances in farm animal protection are happening with scientists painting eyes on the butts(屁股) of cows.The experiment is b

72、e of my natural talents.On one special visit, I cautiously entered a darkened room to find an elderly man lying in the bed.There was no one else in the room, and I firstly thought he was sleeping.When I moved a little closer to the bed, I realized that he was very much awake, but also very confused
73、and anxious.He desperately wanted to communicate something to others, but I couldnt understand what he was saying.He seemed weak, and I couldnt tell if he was in pain, or just scared.I knew nothing about this mans life or history, and at that time I felt totally helpless.He obviously didnt want me t

In my first visit to this weak patient, I did absolutely nothing to help this man except show up. Then he explained that my presence last time gave him hope to live. We talk

I must admit that a stranger in hospital whose name I even didnt know changed my attitude to the life with a single comment. It reshaped the way I see life, the way I see myself, and the way I see others. It makes me want to offer whatever kindness I can to others, and I try to recognize and appreciate the kindness that others offer to me. Obviously, we couldnt know the impact our actions, or even just our presence, has on life.
