25、ant something better and feel unhappy.CThere is more of a connection between food and culture than you may think. On an individual level, we grow up eating the food of our culture. It becomes a part of who we are. Many associate food from our childhood with warm feelings and good memories and it tie
26、s us to our families, holding a special and personal value for us. Food from our families often becomes the comfort food we seek as adults in times of frustration and stress.On a large scale, traditional food is an important part of culture. It also operates as an expression of culture identity. Imm
27、igrants bring it wherever they go, and it is a symbol of pride for their culture and means of coping with homesickness.Many immigrants open their own restaurants and serve traditional dishes. However, the food does not remain exactly the same. Some materials needed to make traditional dishes may not
28、 be readily available, so the taste and flavor can be different from what they would prepare in their home countries. Additionally, immigrants do not only sell dishes to people from the same countries as them, but to people from different countries. Therefore, they have to make small changes about t
29、he original dishes to cater to a wider range of customers. Those changes can create new flavors that still keep the cultural significance of the dishes.We should embrace our heritage （传统）through our cultured food but also become more informed about other cultures by trying their food. It is importan
30、t to remember that each dish has a special place in the culture to which it belongs, and is special to those who prepare it.

33、 Negative.B. Balanced.C. Unfair.D. Unchangeable. DPeople have different ways of dealing with a common cold. Some take over the counter medicines such as aspirin while others try popular home remedies(治疗) like herbal tea or chicken soup.Yet here is the tough truth about the common cold：nothing really
34、 cures it.So why do people sometimes believe that their remedies work? According to James Taylor，professor at the University of Washington, colds usually go away on their own in about a week，improving a little each day after symptoms peak, so its easy to believe its medicine rather than time that de
35、serves the credit，USA Today reported.It still seems hard to believe that we can deal with more serious diseases yet are powerless against something so common as a cold. Recently, scientists came closer to figure out why. To understand it, you first need to know how antiviral drugs work. They attack
36、the virus by attaching to and changing the surface structures of the virus. To do that，the drug must fit and lock into the virus like the right piece of a jigsaw(拼图), which means scientists have to identify the virus and build a 3D model to study its surface before they can design an antiviral drug
37、that is effective enough.The two cold viruses that scientists had long known about were rhinovirus(鼻病毒) A and B. But they didnt find out about the existence of a third virus, rhinovirus C, until 2006. All three of them contribute to the common cold, but drugs that work well against rhinovirus A and
38、B have little effect when used against rhinovirus C.“This explains most of the previous failures of drug trials against rhinoviruses，”study leader Professor Ann CPalmenberg at the University of Wiscons US, told Science Daily.Now, more than 10 years after the discovery of rhinovirus C, scientists hav
39、e finally built a highly detailed 3D model of the virus, showing that the surface of the virus is, as expected，different from that of other cold viruses.With the model in hand，hopefully a real cure for a common cold is on its way. Soon，we may no longer have to waste our money on medicines that dont
40、really work.32.What does the author think of popular remedies for a common cold?AThey are quite effective.BThey are slightly helpful.CThey actually have no effect.DThey still need to be improved.33How do antiviral drugs work?ABy breaking up cold viruses directly.BBy changing the surface structures o
41、f the cold viruses.CBy preventing colds from developing into serious diseases.DBy absorbing different kinds of cold viruses at the same time.34What can we infer from the passage?AThe surface of cold viruses looks quite similar.BScientists have already found a cure for the common cold.CScientists wer
42、e not aware of the existence of rhinovirus C until recently.DKnowing the structure of cold viruses is the key to developing an effective cure.35What is the best title for this passage?ADrugs against cold virusesBHelpful home remediesCNo current cure for common coldDResearch on cold viruses第二节（共5小题：每

44、p. With a slower metabolism,fewer calories are being burned. Thus the calories you eat right before bed would not be bumed off as much as they would be while youre awake. Although the science seems pretty sound, recent studies have shown that metabolism changes very little while you are asleep. The
45、heart is still beating, lungs are still working, and the brain is still very active. 37 So while we are asleep, we are still burning calories. 38 Carbohydrates (碳水化合物） are one of your bodys main sources of energy. When they go unused, they are stored primarily as fat. However, the time of day that c
46、arbohydrates are consumed does not play a role as to how much of it is stored as fat.Actually, weight gain is based on the amount of calories being consumed overall and the amount of calories used overall. 39 It has little to do with the time when you eat. So how come individuals have higher BMIs wh
47、en they snack at night? Although there is a relation between the two, it is simply a result of eating too many calories!Snacks that individuals tend to eat during the night are usually high in sugar and calories, such as ice cream, candy, potato chips, and soft drinks. The time these snacks are cons
48、umed does not matter.40A. All of these actions take energy.B. That is to say, you will not get fat if you eat before bed.C. Anyone eating anytime after the morning will become fat.D. Food consumed late at night will more likely be stored away.E. Without ever questioning it, people quickly assume thi
