[听力原文] Travelers fall into two categories: those who make lists and those who do not. Some people prefer to plan the course of their trip to the finest detail.

1. Why should we be more careful of the foods during the summer? Because foods can easily go bad in ______.
hot weather
[听力原文] During the summer you should be even more careful than usual of the foods you prepare. Foods spoil faster in hot weather than in cold weather. When you are shopping, purchase frozen and refrigerated foods last. Don't make long stops on the way home, because frozen foods could be soft or warm. Using insulated bags helps keep food cold until you can get home. Milk and milk products should be refrigerated immediately.When camping or picnicking, or at any time when refrigeration isn't available, use special dry food. Don't leave foods in a hot car or beach bag. Picnic favorites like meat, chicken, and egg salad should be kept in a cooler. Above all, if a food doesn't seem to be normal in smell or appearance, throw it away immediately. Don't taste it.
Why should we be more careful of the foods during the summer?
[解析] 由听力材料的第二句“Foods spoil faster in hot weather than in cold weather.”可知,在夏天要对食品更加注意是因为食品在热天更易变质,因此空格处应填hot weather。其中题干中的go bad与听力材料中的spoil属于同意转换。

3. What food should be put in the refrigerator immediately after shopping? Milk and ______.
milk products
[听力原文] What food should be put in the refrigerator immediately after shopping?

4. What kind of food shall we bring during camping or picnicking? We shall have ______ food.
special dry
[听力原文] What kind of food shall we bring during camping or picnicking?

Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension Directions: This part is to test your reading ability. There are 5 tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the reading materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.
Task 1 Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 1 to 5. For each question or statement, there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. There are some steps you can take yourself to avoid catching a cold. Contrary to popular belief, colds are not caused by exposure to severe weather. Colds are caused by viruses (病毒) harbored in the body, and you're better off out on the ski slopes or even waiting for the bus on a snowy day than you are in a warm room, surrounded by friends, co-workers, or fellow students, who just may be passing the viruses around. If you feel a chill when you're coming down with a cold, you're already sick. A chill is an early symptom: it's the cold that caused the chill, not the other way around. While the virus can spread through droplets (飞沫) propelled into the air when a cold-sufferer coughs or sneezes. Surprisingly, this is not the most common route of transmission, Numerous studies have now shown that the overwhelming majority of colds are "caught" by hand contact, A cold sufferer rubs her nose, thereby transferring the virus to her hand. Then a friend comes to visit. "Don't kiss me," she cautions, so the friend steps back and presses her hand. The friend then wipes her own nose or eye, and several days later is stricken with a cold. Or parents pick up their child's discarded (丢弃的) tissues and carefully throw them away, but fail to wash their hands afterward. Cold viruses also can be transferred to objects—telephones, towels, plates and remain infectious for up to three hours. Frequent hand-washing—on the part of the cold sufferer as well as other members of the house- hold—will minimize the spread of viruses in this way.
1. According to the author, we are most likely to catch a cold if we ______.
A.attend a party with a lot of people
B.stay long hours in the street on a snowy day
C.go out on an extremely cold and windy day
D.go skiing or skating in the open air
A B C D
A
[解析] 由第一段中“...and you're better off out on the ski slopes or even waiting...who just may be passing the virus around.”可以看出:即使呆在温暖的屋子里,很多人在一起也比在雪天里等公共汽车容易感冒,故选A。
2. From what the author says, we can infer that "Exposure to severe weather causes colds." is ______.
A.only a supposition of doctors
B.still the view held by many people
C.an out-of-date view of people in the past
D.a fact already proven by doctors
A B C D
B
[解析] 由第一段第二句“Contrary to popular belief,colds are not caused by exposure to severe weather.”可以看出:和人们普遍认为相反的是,感冒并不是由严寒的天气引起的。由此可以推断出还是有很多人认为感冒是由严寒的天气引起的,故选B。
3. To prevent viruses from spreading, we should ______.
A.shake hands with our friends instead of kissing them
B.never touch the telephones, towels or plates
C.often wash our hands
D.often rub our noses and eyes
A B C D
C
[解析] 由文章最后一句“Frequent hand-washing...will minimize the spread of viruses in this way.”可以看出:经常洗手会很好地防止病毒传播,故选C。
4. Man is most likely to be stricken with a cold if ______.
A.he often rubs his eyes or nose
B.he fails to expose the cold viruses to air
C.he visits his friend in a warm room
D.he shakes hands with a cold-sufferer

5. The best title for this passage might be ______.
A.Colds and Viruses
B.Ways to Avoid Colds
C.The Spread of Viruses
D.Hand Contact and Transmission of Viruses
A B C D
B
[解析] 文章首句就说明介绍几种避免感冒的方法,接下来都是围绕这个主题展开的,故选B。

March 24, 2015
Dear Mr. Zhou, I would formally request to resign from my present position as an office clerk in the company. During last two months of probation period, I find this job totally different from what I expected. After thorough consideration, I have made up my mind to quit this job. There are three factors accounting for my decision. First, the job is not challenging enough to bring my potential into full play. I prefer working actively and meeting different people to staying stagnant in the office. Second, with the poor salary, I can hardly afford to rent my present apartment. Last but not least, my mother is now in hospital due to her serious heart attack. I have to return to Hangzhou to look after her. I want to apologize for any inconvenience I may cause. Thank you for your consideration of my request. I look forward to your reply as soon as possible.
