Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension ( 40 minutes )

Section A

Directions: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list

of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices.

Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2

with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.

Questions 26 to 35 are based on the following passage.

A few months ago, I was down with a terrible cold which ended in a persistent bad cough. No matter how many

different 26 I tried, I still couldn’t get rid of the cough. Not only did it 27 my teaching but also my life as a whole. Then

one day after class, a student came up to me and 28 traditional Chinese medicine. From her description, Chinese medicine

sounded as if it had magic power that worked wonders. I was 29 because I knew so little about it and have never it before.

Eventually, my cough got so much 30 that I couldn’t sleep at night, so I decided to give it a try. The Chinese doctor took

my pulse and asked to see my tongue, both of which were new 31 to me because they are both non-existent in Western

medicine. Then the doctor gave me a scraping（刮）treatment known as “Gua Sha”. I was a little 32 at first because he

used a smooth edged tool to scrape the skin on my neck and shoulders. A few minutes later, the 33 strokes started to

produce a relieving effect and my body and mind began to 34 deeper into relaxation. I didn’t feel any improvement in my

condition in the first couple of days, but after a few more regular visits to the doctor, my cough started to 35 . Then, within

a matter of weeks, it was completely gone!

A) deepen I)remedies

B) experiences J) scared

C) hesitant

D) inconvenience K) sensitive

E) lessen L) sink

F) licenses M) temporary

G)pressured N) tremble

H) recommended O) worse

Section B

Directions: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains

information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a

paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding

letter on Answer Sheet 2.

　 How a Poor, Abandoned Parisian Boy Became a Top Chef

A) When you drop a piece of food on the floor, is it really OK to eat if you pick it up within five seconds? An urban

food myth contends that if food spends just a few seconds on the floor, dirt and germs won’t have much of a chance to

contaminate it. Research in my lab has focused on how food becomes contaminated, and we’ve done some work on this

particular piece of wisdom.

B) While the “five-second rule” might not seem like the most pressing issue for food scientists to get to the bottom of,

it’s still worth investigating food myths like this one because they shape our beliefs about when food is safe to eat.

C) So is five seconds on the floor the critical threshold（门槛）that separates a piece of eatable food from a case of

food poisoning? It’s a bit more complicated than that. It depends on just how many bacteria can make it from floor to food

in a few seconds and just how dirty the floor is.

D) Wondering if food is still OK to eat after it’s dropped on the floor is a pretty common experience. And it’s probably

not a new one either. A well-known, but inaccurate, story about Julia Child may have contributed to this food myth. Some

viewers of her cooking show, The French Chef, insist they saw Child drop lamb on the floor and pick it up, with the advice

that if they were alone in the kitchen, their guests would never know.

E) In fact it was a potato pancake, and it fell on the stovetop, not on the floor. Child put it back in the pan, saying, “But

you can always pick it up and if you’re alone in the kitchen, who’s going to see it?” But the misremembered story persists.

It’s harder to pin down the origins of the oft-quoted five-second rule, but a 2003 study reported that 70% of women and

56% of men surveyed were familiar with the five-second rule and that women were more likely than men to eat food that

had dropped on the floor.

F) So what does science tell us about what a few moments on the floor means for the safety of your food? The earliest

research report on the five-second rule is attributed to Jillian Clarke, a high school student participating in a research project

at the University of Illinois. Clarke and her colleagues introduced bacteria to floor tiles（瓷砖）and then placed cookies on

the tiles for varying times. They reported bacteria were transferred from the tiles to the cookies within five seconds, but

didn’t report the specific amount of bacteria that made it from the tiles to the food.

G) But how many bacteria actually transfer in five seconds? In 2007, my lab at Clemson University published a study

in the Journal of Applied Microbiology. We wanted to know if the length of time food is in contact with a contaminated

surface affected the rate of transfer of bacteria to the food. To find out, we introduced bacteria to squares of tile, carpet or

wood. Five minutes after that, we placed either bacon or bread on the surface for 5,30 or 60 seconds, and then measured the

number of bacteria transferred to the food. We repeated this exact procedure after the bacteria had been on the surface for

2,4,8 and 24 hours.
