Can you imagine that in North China's Shanxi Province, there are over 280 kinds of mianshi, or cooked wheaten (小麦的) food?
Shanxi people's love for mianshiis closely connected to the local natural conditions. The dry weather on mountains and plateaus (高原) makes it a good place for growing wheat. Therefore, as time passing by, Shanxi people not only developed an eating habit for mianshi, but also invented different ways of cooking wheaten food.
Among the many Shanxi mianshi, the sliced (削的) noodle is the most famous one. It is a noodle made with a special knife. When making it, the cook needs to hold the dough (生面团) with one hand, while fast slicing the noodles into the soup pot with the other hand. The length and thickness of each sliced noodle are required to be the same. Experienced cooks can even turn the way of slicing noodle into an excellent show. They can slice 200 noodles in one minute, and make sure each noodle falls exactly into the soup pot 1.5 meters away.
In Chinese food culture, people like to give special meanings to the food. For example, they would have a bowl of Changshoumianon their birthdays, carrying good wishes for health and long life. In many places, the tradition is to serve jiaozito a person leaving home, and noodles to a person returning home, as both foods have their own important meanings.
Well, seeing all these Chinese mianshi, do you feel enjoyable? Would you like to have a try?
(1)、How does the writer start the article?A、By telling a story. B、By comparing facts. C、By using a saying. D、By giving examples.(2)、What makes Shanxi people love mianshi?A、The simple ways of cooking mianshi. B、The sour and hot taste of noodles. C、The changes of people's eating habits. D、The good wheat growing environment.(3)、What can we learn about the sliced noodle from Paragraph 3?A、It is sliced into different shapes with a knife. B、It is one of the most famous mianshiin Shanxi. C、It's a kind of traditional food with a long history. D、People like the show better than the noodle itself.(4)、What's the main idea of the passage?A、People's love for mianshiin different areas. B、Mianshiin North China's Shanxi Province. C、Different ways of making noodles across China. D、The importance of mianshiin Chinese food culture.11. 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。Dear Teens,
①Do you wonder why some kids can stay calm while others get nervous so easily? Why do some kids do everything very quickly while others are very sluggish? Why are some kids always happy while some feel upset all times?
②One of the answers to these questions is personality. People were born with different personalities. A baby gets its blood type, genes (pass on from its parents) and other physical things when it is still inside its mother. These factors make part of your personality. Besides, family life,school learning and life experiences can also decide what kind of person you are. You may not like your personality. Don't worry. You can always try to change it and make yourself better.
③If you are a selfish person who always thinks of yourself, you can start this way. Try to give others a hand and ask for nothing in return. The happiness you get from giving instead of receiving will help you change your personality.
④If you are very shy and don't know how to make friends, just tell yourself to smile at others and start talking to others with warm greetings. You are sure to have more friends than you used to do.
⑤If you are a sluggish person who always does things slowly, you'd better make a plan every day. When you finish something, draw a happy face. If not, draw a crying one. No one would like to see a crying face and you will have the desire to change it into a smiling one.
⑥All in all, don't get too worried about your shortcomings. No one is perfect. That's why many people are trying to change. Don't give yourself a hard time about it all. It's not easy to change the habits overnight. Remember "Rome is not built in a day". Keep working at it. One day you'll see that you can turn over a new leaf and be a new person.
Dr. Olson
(1)、What does the underlined phrase "these factors" refer to?A、Different feelings. B、Blood type, genes and so on. C、Family life and school learning. D、Different life experiences.(2)、If Tom is a boy who always thinks of himself, what advice will Dr.Olson offer him?A、Talk to others with a smile on his face. B、Get the joy from giving instead of receiving. C、Make a weekly plan to finish everything. D、Turn over a new leaf and be a new person.(3)、Which of the following does Dr.Olson probably agree with?A、You can never change your personality. B、You can do everything quickly if you draw a happy face. C、You can make friends by smiling and talking kindly. D、What personality you have is decided by your school learning.(4)、Which of the following shows the structure of the reading?A、 B、 C、 D、12. 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。Have you ever played with another dog around your dog or played with a different dog when you're taking a walk? Many dogs don't like it when they're not the center of their owners' attention. Whether it's a new baby or the cute little dog next door, there's a good point that your dog doesn't want to share your love with anyone else. Some people may think that jealousy is a human-only feeling. But it's not true.
A few years ago, researchers at the University of California, San Diego, found that dogs showed jealous actions when their owners showed love toward another dog.
For the study, researchers watched videos of interactions (互动) between 36 dogs and their owners in their homes. Researchers had the owners pay no attention to their dogs but play with a robotic dog, which was treated as a real dog. Owners talked to it sweetly and shared everything with it.
About 60% of the dogs were likely to touch or push their owners when they were interacting with the robotic dog. About one-third of the dogs tried to get between the owner and the robotic dog and some even barked at "the other dog".
"Our study suggests that dogs not only show jealous actions but also try to break up the relationship between the owner and a seeming competitor," said Professor Christine Harris, one of the researchers.
Therefore, your dog might act differently when he's trying to get your attention and maybe experiencing feelings of jealousy. For example, he may draw your attention by licking (舔) you, or he may suddenly run into the bathroom to get attention or even to show displeasure. So if you have more than one pet, be sure to give them the same attention so that any of them will, not feel forgotten.
(1)、Which of the following picture shows the meaning of "jealous"?A、 B、 C、 D、(2)、What did the owners do in the study?A、They played with their dogs B、They treated their dogs as robots. C、They paid no attention to their dogs. D、They watched videos with their dogs.(3)、How did most of the dogs act after seeing their owners' actions in the study?A、They barked at the robotic dog. B、They got away from the robotic dog. C、They touched and even pushed their owners. D、They got between their owners and the robotic dog.(4)、What advice does the writer give pet owners?A、To keep only one pet at home. B、To spend more time with their pets. C、Not to bring a robotic dog home. D、Not to treat their pets differently.四、第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第二节(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分)

13. 下面文章中有四处需要添加小标题。请从以下选项(A、B、C、D和、E)中选出符合意思的标题(其中一项是多余选项),将其序号填入小题,并回答35题(请注意小题后的词数要求)。
A. Join a support group (支持小组).
B. Change how you make sounds.
C. Record and listen to your voice.
E. Sing along with your favorite songs.
D. Be open about your stutter (口吃).
Not being able to speak clearly can make you feel bad about yourself. But remember, you're not alone - more than 80 million people around the world stutter. Here are some tips to help you improve your speech.
Practice speaking slowly.
Spend 5 to 10 minutes each day practicing slow speech, either by yourself or with someone who can help. Choose a topic you know well, and then talk about it without using notes. This practice helps you get used to thinking before you speak, just like in real conversations.
Did you know that more than 100 muscles (肌肉) in your mouth help you talk? Since there are so many muscles involved, there are lots of ways to make a sound. If one way isn't working, try another.
Another idea is to record yourself while reading aloud. Many people don't like listening to their recorded voice. But if you can do that, you'll be able to find out what sounds you're having problems with, so you know what you need to practice.
Telling people you stutter before you talk to them for the first time might sound like your worst nightmare (噩梦) come true, but it can really help if you get nervous talking to people. Telling them about your stutter frees you from worrying about what they might think if you happen to stutter during the conversation.
Sometimes you find the greatest help just from talking to someone else who's going through the same thing as you. You can understand each other and also share tips and speech exercises that have worked for you.
What can you do to support a friend who stutters during group conversations?(no more than 25 words)
