The widespread number of food scandals ( 丑聞) in China is making many people pause before they put their chopsticks in their mouth. They are wondering if the food they are eating is clean, healthy and nutritious or does it contain something harmful that will cause disease?
Most of the food we eat today is processed food( 加工食品). That means the foods we buy in stores and supermarkets, especially packaged foods, are prepared in factories. Chemicals are added to the foods in these factories to make them look better, taste better and last longer on the shelf. The chemicals are supposed to be harmless and there are laws that regulate which chemicals can and cannot be used. Unfortunately, some producers do not obey the laws.
A producer of steamed buns (饅頭) in Zhejiang Province was recently discovered to be breaking the law. He was adding yellow dye and other banned chemicals to the buns. He was also taking old buns and using them to make new buns. Most of the buns were sold to schools and eaten by students. . . like you’
Why did he do it? Why did he break the law and endanger people’s health? The answer is simple: he wanted to make more money. It was a moral failing, and this is at the heart of the food scandals in China. Too many people focus on making money and not on the effects their actions can have on others.

小題1:A
小題1:D
小題1:B
小題1:C
【主旨大意】本文主要介紹了在中國很多人不顧法律的制裁、人們的健康和道德的譴責，往食物里面添加化學品，導致了很多的食物丑聞。
小題1:A 細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段句子“Chemicals are added to the foods in these factories to make them look better, taste better and last longer on the shelf.”我們可以判斷食物添加化學品是為了讓食物更好看，更好吃，保存更久。故選A。
小題1:D細節(jié)理解題。A、B、C在文章中都能找到；D是錯誤的，根據(jù)第四段最后一句話“Most of the buns were sold to schools and eaten by students. . . like you！”大部分的饅頭并不僅僅是給浙江省的學生吃，故選D。
小題1:B詞義猜測題。根據(jù)文章最后一段我們可知，有的人為了賺錢不惜觸犯法律和危害人們的健康。這反映出他們道德極差。所以，我們能夠猜出出他們是 “道德滑坡”。故選B。
小題1:C推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章來看因為很多人太注重賺錢，所以，他們不顧法律和人們的健康，往食物里面添加化學品，這也就是食物丑聞的主要原因。故選C。

Dear Malia and Sasha,
I know that you’ve both had a lot of fun these two years. You have been to many picnics and had all kinds of junk food your mother and I probably shouldn’t have let you eat. But I also know that it hasn’t always been easy for you and Mom. So now I want to tell you a little more about why I decided to take our family on this journey.
When I was a young man, I thought life was all about me—about how I'd make my way in the world, become successful, and get the things I want. But then the two of you came into my world with those smiles and suddenly, all my big plans didn’t seem so important any more. I soon found that the greatest happiness in my life was that you were so happy. And I realized that my own life wouldn't mean much if I couldn’t make you two happy. In the end, girls, I ran for(競選)President: Because of what I want for you and for every child in the US.
I want all our children to go to school so that they can learn and grow. I want them to have the chance to go to college—even though their parents don’t have enough money. And I want them to get good jobs.
I want us to see new technologies and inventions that improve our lives and make our earth cleaner and safer. And I want us to see no difference of different colors and areas because we are all equal.
I hope both of you will start to give others the chances you’ve had. You know, this country has given our family so much, so you have to, and really should, give something back. When you are doing something larger than yourself, you will realize how helpful you are.
These are the things I want for you—to grow up in a world in which you can make your dreams come true. And I want every child to have the same chances to learn and dream and grow and get what you girls have. That's why I've taken our family on this great adventure.
I am so proud of you. I love you more than you can ever know. And I am thankful every day because you behave so well when we get ready to start our new life together in the White House.
Love，
Dad

Parking has been a problem for drivers for a long time in Taizhou. The Transportation Department(部門) is mapping out a new plan for the city’s parking system. There are about 100 thousand cars on the road inTaizhou but only enough parking space to provide room for 15 percent of these vehicles. It is no wonder that local drivers get so worried trying to find a place to park.
The number of the private(私人的) car owners is becoming lager and larger. In March, the city sent out 1,000 private car licenses, the highest number of licenses ever sent out in a month. And prices rose to over 200 yuan, 500 more than in February. Industry experts(專家) say this suggests that local people have a strong, active interest in buying cars.
By the year 2020, the number of cars in Taizhou will probably reach 200 thousand. If one parking lot is for each car, then a lot of parking space should be built for these vehicles. The center of Taizhou is most short of parking space. However, experts point out that simply building more parking lots in these areas is not practical and doesn’t solve the problem. The idea of “ Park & Ride” system has been suggested. This means that underground train and city train should be developed quickly. Drivers can leave their vehicles in car parks nearby subway(地鐵) and bus stations and then they can ride public transport to go to the city center. Based on this idea, the city will cut down the number of parking lots in the city center and need higher parking fees(費用). But it will build more parking areas near main subway and bus stops.
小題1:The underlined phrase “ mapping out ” in the first paragraph means _____.
A．makingB．a(chǎn)rguingC．replyingD．comparing
小題2: About _____ drivers can find places to park their cars in Taizhou now.
A．8,500B．10,000C．15,000 D．20,000
小題3: What can we infer from the second paragraph?
A．The city sent out more private licenses in February.
B．Less and less people bought cars in March.
C．The city sent out less private licenses in March.
D．More and more people are going to buy cars.
小題4:According to the idea of a “ Park & Ride ” system, the city will _____.
A．send out more private car licenses
B．build more parking lots near bus stops
C．encourage people to buy more cars
D．build more parking areas in the city center
小題5:This passage is mainly about_____.
