Can you imagine a world without chocolate? It's not something I'd like to do, so I was relieved to read that there's a university with a programme to safeguard the future of chocolate!
The University of Reading, in England, has just opened a new clearing house for all the world's new cocoa varieties. 丁hey must be quarantined(隔離)before they can be grown. Why? Cocoa production hit a record high of 4. 4 million tons last year but about 30% of the precious crop is regularly lost to pests and diseases. Now we don't want that, do we?
Demand for chocolate has been increasing faster than the world's supply of cocoa and researchers think that new varie?ties are key to solving this problem.
The University of Reading has been protecting the quali?ty of the new crops since 1985， after it took over the task from the Royal Botanical Gardens in Kew, London. And it has improved its facilities. The leader of the institution's co?coa project, Professor Paul Hadley, says, "One of the main issues concerning cocoa improvement is the supply of reliably clean, healthy and interesting cocoa material.，，
The cocoa centre has a collection of 400 plant varieties and the greenhouse uses a lot of energy to keep them in tropi?cal conditions. After up to two years in quarantine, clean and safe seeds are sent to some 20 countries, including several in West Africa. That's where 75 % of the cocoa used for choco?late worldwide comes from. The crop is extremely important for the local economy: it employs about two million people.
Professor Hadley says he works with a small team of skilled technicians who look after the collection. And more of us seem to count on them now.
The scientist says, "There is some concern within the in?dustry that demand is increasing constantly, particularly in countries like China, where the standard of living is increas?ing and people are getting a taste for different kinds of choco?late. "
1. What is the text mainly about?
A. Safeguarding cocoa seeds.
B. Planting cocoa worldwide.

D. Finding the new market for cocoa.
2. The institution's cocoa project is to_____________ .

B. offer more jobs to people
C. ensure the quality of cocoa
D. supply cocoa for two million people
3. What does the last paragraph tell us?
A. The taste of chocolate is changing.
B. Demand for cocoa is increasing fast.
C. People are concerned about cocoa varieties.
D. Chinese have a long history of eating chocolate.
4. What's the purpose of the text?

A [2015 .洛陽高三二模] One winter, my cousin and I were playing toy blocks in the yard. My mum was out for shopping to get groceries and my dad was asleep upstairs in his room. Suddenly, it started to snow. First it was just a little. But then it started to pour heavily.
Then, we put the finishing touches to our blocks and headed back inside. Right when I opened the sliding glass door, my cousin fell down on the slippery wooden stairs. I let go of the door, my worst mistake, you see. The door locks automatically ? but I had put a rock right next to the door so it wouldn't close. But while I was running to my cousin's aid, I'd accidentally kicked the rock.
Now, my cousin and I were locked outside. And unfor?tunately it started to get really windy. It was really freezing with the snow. First we started to call my dad, but he was sleeping soundly. I mean he was sleeping through a tornado soundly. It was of no use.
Then I tried to climb over the fence but it didn't work be?cause the fence was iced up by snow and wind, and the fence was six feet high. So, I climbed up to my tree house and brainstormed some ideas on ways to get in. At one point, I was seriously considering jumping out of the tree house and use the trampoline(蹦床)to jump over the fence.
So, we got to work. First, I took out the trampoline. Then I started to jump. First try―I almost cracked my head. Second try―this time I convinced my cousin to do it but at the last second， he chickened out. Third try―I jumped and missed but at the last second, my hand caught the fence, and with a lot of pushing I finally climbed over the fence and luck?ily, I fell on a big snowdrift.
Finally, my mum came back. Then I got inside and un?locked the door for my cousin to get in. Then we shared this story with my mum and dad.
1.When the author wanted to jump in, the main problem was that .
A. the fence was icy
B. the fence was slippery and high
C. the trampoline couldn't bear the weight
D. the trampoline was too small

A. passive B. positive
C. indifferent D. objective
3. The underlined words " chickened out" in Paragraph 5 most probably mean " ".
A. fell down B.cried out
C. jumped up D. backed out
4. Which would be the best title of the text?

Coconut oil has become popular as healthier oil in cook?ing* cleaning and even as part of a natural beauty product. At room temperature except in warmer climates, it hardens, but naturally becomes liquid as the temperature rises. 8
Healthy fat is an important part of the diet, and coconut oil is one source of the healthy fat. Coconut oil is also nature's richest source of medium-chain fatty acids (脂肪酸). This oil's health benefits include, but are not limited to, im?proving heart health, helping chemical reactions in our bodies, keeping a healthy weight, helping weight loss and supporting the immune system. 9
Coconut oil is all-natural and does not contain the chemi?cals you will find in most shampoos and body washes. It is a wonderful body wash that can be applied directly to your skin to keep your skin wet. 10 Using it in your mouth for twenty minutes is a much better method of cleaning the entire mouth and removing bacteria.
Strong chemical cleaners are not safe or healthy for you, your family or the environment. 11 It can be used to clean and shine furniture or leather. You can even use coco?nut oil as a spot remover.

B [2015 •安徽合肥高三二檢]
Severely disabled people may soon be able to use their noses to write, drive a wheelchair or surf the Internet, thanks to a device(裝置)developed by doctors in Israel.
The device will be used by breathing in and out through the nose, according to a study. Healthy people who tested the device quickly learned to play computer games and write sentences by sniffing. Encouraged by the results, the re?searchers decided to test their device on people who are para?lysed (雜 疾的) but whose intelligence remains normal. Ten paralysed people who tested the device quickly learned to use their noses to write words, open a web page, copy words and put them into a search engine.
With their success in helping severely disabled people to communicate, the researchers decided to make use of the new technology to design an electric wheelchair to be driven by sniffs.
Ten healthy people easily mastered sniff-driving a wheel?chair through a maze, and a 30-year-old man who had been paralysed from the neck down for six years was as good a sniff-driver as the healthy participants at his second attempt. In other words, a paralysed person could use the sniff con?troller to drive an electric wheelchair.
At the moment, sniff-controlled technology is still in the stage of development, and the Weizmann Institute of Science has already applied for a patent on the device. "I'll be very happy if it can help us to make money, but the real problem is that I hope someone will develop it, because this would help a lot of people," said Sobel, one of the lead researchers of the study.
4.What's the purpose of the passage?
A. To introduce a new invention.
B. To equip the disabled with life skills.
C. To show the nose's special functions.
D. To instruct doctors to apply for a patent.
5.In the test, the paralysed people with normal intelligence can use their noses to .
A. type long sentences quickly
B. play computer games easily
C. enter a website without much difficulty
D. communicate with others successfully
6.With the help of the sniffing device, a 30-year-old disabled man_________ .
A. spent six years learning how to drive a wheelchair
B. failed to drive through the maze at his first attempt
C. took the wheelchair controlled by healthy participants
D. managed to drive an electric wheelchair by sniffing
7.From the last paragraph* we can infer that the sniff-con-trolled technology___________ .
A. will be applied to other fields of research
B. needs further developing to serve more people
C. has become a patent invention
D. shows the wisdom and talents of Israeli doctors
