28、   He’s a comedian, he’s an actor, he’s British and the whole world knows him as the silent, black-haired character Mr. Bean. That’s right, Rowan Atkinson.

Atkinson was born in Newcastle, England and was educated at Newcastle University and Oxford. While at Oxford, he met the writer Richard Curtis, who was studying there too, and they became friends. Curtis was the opposite of Atkinson. He had great love for words while Atkinson enjoyed nonverbal comedy. Together they began writing comedy reviews for the Oxford Playhouse. Shortly afterwards, Atkinson began appearing in smaller theaters in Edinburgh. After a show at the Hampstead Theater in 1978, he was offered a part in the BBC series Not the Nine o’clock News. This series got off to a slow start, but soon became a huge success, with Atkinson winning a BAFTA award for his work. However, being a very sensible man, Atkinson saw the whole acting job as a hobby, along with his growing interest in car racing.

Atkinson made his big-screen debut(初次亮相) in 1983’s unofficial James Bond film Never Say never Again. That same year Atkinson appeared in the BBC series called Black Adder. The main hero named Edmund, tries unsuccessfully to become King of England after accidentally killing his uncle Richard III during a fight. This was followed by three hugely successful sequels (续集) each set in a different era of England’ history. The Black Adder series was voted the Best Comedy Show of the Year in 1990. He then went on to create Mr. Bean. A walking disaster, Bean was purely physical comedy, the opposite of Edmund. This character was a huge success and became another national treasure. In 1997 Bean came to the big screen. A few year later, Scooby Doo became a box office hit in the US in 2002. This was followed by Johnny English if 2003, a funny work of James Bond films.

In his spare time Atkinson collects classic cars and takes part in races. He also writes for the British magazine CAR. He is a very shy man, and has managed to keep his private life private.

【1】How did Richard Curtis and Rowan Atkinson get to know each other?

【2】According to the text, the BBC series Not the Nine O’clock News _________.

【3】What do we know about Atkinson at the beginning of his career?

A.He kept writing comedies B.He did not see acting as a job

C.He did not like physical comedy D.He had an argument with Curtis

【4】Which work would you recommend to someone who like humor mixed with history?

C.Mr. Bean was voted the Best Comedy Show.

D.Atkinson dislikes showing his personal life.

29、As the new year approaches, crowds around the world may be expecting whizzes and bangs to light up the sky. The appeal of fireworks could fizzle out with the growing use of drones (无人机)for light shows, though.

Ollie Howitt, a leader of SkyMagic, which used a team of 300 drones to create a display for London’s new year celebration last year, said demand had increased substantially. “We do think it’s going to be something that’s ever catching on, as opposed to it being a short-lived sort of fashion people have suddenly got interested in. Drones are reusable and there’s no fallout. In that sense they’re a very good, sustainable option.” she said.

But not everyone agrees. A spokesperson from the British Fireworks Association said drones could also pose environmental problems. “Suggestions are that drones have less of an impact on the environment, but we have serious concerns about electrical demand and use of lithium batteries which are known not to be all that ‘green’,” they said.

An RSPCA spokesperson said that while drones were a possible idea to try to reduce the impact of displays on animals, there were downsides. “Drones are not without their own negative issues such as scaring horses or crashing into birds, and can cause disturbance to animals and members of the public. It’s therefore important for their effects to be fully considered and measures taken to minimize the chance of accidents.” they said.

Some express the opinion that the use of fireworks and drones don’t exclude each other. The sight, sound and gunpowder smell of fireworks will always provide its own unique thrill.

“We find fireworks work really well when teamed up with drones. But we don’t really see it as a one-replacing-the-other at all. We feel as if ifs just another tool in the chest for how you enliven the sky and what you want to do with the show you’re putting on,” said Howitt, noting that while fireworks give a loud, emotive, big performance, drones offer the chance to tell stories in the sky by using a series of images.

【1】What does Howitt think about a drone display in paragraph 2?

A．It’s definitely an upward trend.

B．It’ll get us to reflect on energy crisis.

C．It’s nothing but a temporary phenomenon.

D．It’ll excite the public curiosity about science.

【2】Which of the following may Howitt suggest according to the last paragraph?

A．Promoting the production of drones.

B．Diversifying the functions of drones.

C．Prohibiting the displays of fireworks.

D．Staging drone shows as an alternative.

【3】What does the underlined word “downsides” in paragraph 4 mean?

A．prospect

B．puzzles

C．weaknesses

D．benefits

【4】In which section of a website can we read this text?

A．Advertisement.

B．Business.

C．Health.

D．Environment.

31、

When it comes to food coloring, why should we have to prove just exactly how and why the substance causes a negative effect on the people who consume it before we can 【1】 it ? If this were a necessary or meaningful food ingredient (材料) in any way, sure, that would be a reasonable standard. But food coloring has no nutritional value. Why are we 【2】 it?

Most likely because it helps companies sell products. Pretty food pays off because aesthetics (美学) in food does 【3】. We have relied on 【4】 cues (暗示) for thousands of years to help us determine what is edible, nutritious, and safe to eat. Man has adapted to appreciating natural colors, including a varity of green, red, pink, orange, yellow, and purple produce. Colors 【5】 that food is ripe (成熟的) or that it contains healthy compounds. Because of that 【6】 background, color is money for food manufacturers. Children are especially attracted to a variety of bright, vibrant colors and succumb to (屈从于) targeted marketing.

Food aesthetics can also affect how we look at taste. In one study, when subjects were given sugar water in different 【7】 of red, they reported that the deep red drinks tasted sweeter than the light red ones. We’ve been programmed to expected certain things from certain colors. Another study showed people had a harder time 【8】 drink flavors when the drinks did not have the expected colors. We expected what nature has taught us, and even though our food system has changed dramatically in the past several decades, our expectations have yet to 【9】 up. Food companies can instead use this knowledge to 【10】 us and make their processed products appear more delicious.

32、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；

2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。

Never can you imagine how your next friendship will come into being. During a summer vacation some years ago, I was doing a part-time job at McDonald’s. While handing a hamburger to a woman at the drive-through window, I noticed that she had a box of what seemed to be purple tomatoes alongside. (If you have ever had a drive-through job, you know that it’s hard not to look into someone’s car when you are near his or her face.) That’s when I felt the desire coming on. I felt that I was eager to explore what they exactly were. But I just didn’t know how to start. Would she refuse my curiosity directly or just keep silent, even with a look of disgust?

After a struggle in my heart, I decided to grasp the last minute. As I handed her the burger, I said, “Those tomatoes look special! What kind are they?” She smiled and I thought she was about to start laughing, but instead she replied, “Here, have some!” Within seconds I had a handful of splendid purple tomatoes. “Oh, no, you don’t need to give me any!” I said. Those tomatoes looked expensive. “Here, have more,” she insisted, and now I had six of the fattest and prettiest tomatoes I had ever seen. I weakly tried to protest: “Really, you didn’t have to give me any, hut I appreciate it.”

The woman smiled again and said: “I hope you enjoy them. And to answer your question, it’s an heirloom (传家宝) breed that my mom used to plant. So they aren’t like the ones you get in the grocery store.” I thanked her again, and she sped off. She was like an adult version of the tooth fairy: I gave her hamburger and she gave me tomatoes.

Paragraph 1:

After a couple of weeks, a box of fresh vegetables was sent to my work place.
