When I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s, we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap and drove a white truck. As a 5-year-old boy, I couldn’t take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.
Of course, he delivered more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mother would pen a note—“Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery”—and place it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically appear.
All of this was about more than convenience. There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to our house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors, so that the milk wouldn’t freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.
There is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk, thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete. Besides, milk is for sale everywhere, and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service.
Recently, an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories, I took it home and planted it on the back porch(门廊). Every so often my son’s friends will ask what it is. So I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.
24. Mr. Basille gave the boy a quarter out of his coin changer to ___________.
A. show his magical power B. pay for the delivery
C. satisfy his curiosity D. please his mother
25. What can be inferred from the fact that the milkman had the key to the boy’s house
A. He wanted to have tea there. B. He was a respectable person.
C. He was treated as a family member. D. He was fully trusted by the family.
26. Why does home milk delivery no longer exist
A. Nobody wants to be a milkman now. B. It has been driven out of the market.
C. Its service is getting poor. D. It is not allowed by law.
27. Why did the author bring back home an old milk box
A. He missed the good old days. B. He wanted to tell interesting stories.
C. He needed it for his milk bottles. D. He planted flowers in it.

Next month, I’m travelling to a remote area of Central Africa and my aim is to know enough Lingala-one of the local languages-to have a conversation. I wasn’t sure how I was going to manage this-until I discovered a way to learn all the vocabulary I’m going to need. Thanks to Memrise, the application I’m using. Il feels just like a game.
“People often stop learning things because they feel they’re not making progress or because it all feels like too much hard work,” says Ed Cooke, one of the people who created Memrise. “We’re trying to create a form of learning experience that is fun and is something you’d want to do instead of watching TV.”
Memrise gives you a few new words to learn and these are “seed” which you plant in your “greenhouse”. When you learn the words, you “water your plants”. When the application believes that you’ve really memorised a word, it moves the word to your “garden”. And if you forget to log on, the application sends you e-mails, reminding you to “water your plants”.
The application uses two principles about learning. The first is that people memorise a new thing better when they link it to a picture in their mind. Memrise translates words into your own language, but it also encourages you to use “mems”. For example, I memorised “motele”, the Lingala word for “engine”, using a mem I created-I imagined an old engine in a motel（汽车旅馆）room.
The second principle is that we need to stop after studying words and then repeat them again later, leaving time between study sessions. Memrise helps you with this, because it’s the kind of application yon only use for five or ten minutes a day.
I’ve learnt hundreds of Lingala words with Memrise. I know this won’t make me a fluent speaker, but I hope I’ll be able to do more than just smile when I meet people in Congo. Now, I need to go and water my vocabulary!
28. What does Ed Cooke make an effort to do with Memrise
A. Create memorable experiences. B. Make progress with hard work.
C. Learn words rather than watch TV. D. Combine study with entertainment.
29. What are you doing when you “water your plants”
A. Logging on to the application. B. Being a Memrise user.
C. Learning the vocabulary. D. Moving words to your garden.
30. How does Memrise work
A. By linking different mems together. B. By putting knowledge into practice.
C. By offering people translation services. D. By applying an associative memory approach.
31. What is the author’s attitude towards Memrise
A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Uninterested. D. Negative.
D
People tend to connect to their cultural or ethnic group through similar food patterns. Immigrants often use food as a means of maintaining their cultural identity. People from different cultural backgrounds eat different foods. The ingredients, methods of preparation, preservation techniques, and types of food eaten at different mealtimes vary among cultures. The areas in which families live and where their ancestors originated influence food likes and dislikes. These food preferences result in patterns of food choices within a cultural or regional group.
Nations or countries are frequently associated with certain foods. For example, many people associate Italy with pizza and pasta（意大利面食）.Yet Italians eat many other foods，and types of pasta dishes vary throughout Italy. Methods of preparation and types of food in a nation vary by region. Some families in the United States prefer to eat “meat and potatoes”, but “meat and potatoes” are not eaten on a regular basis, nor even preferred, by many in the United States and would not be labeled a national cuisine.
Regional food habits do exist, but they also change over time. As people immigrate, food practices and preferences are imported and exported. Families move to other locations, bringing their food preferences with them. They may use their old recipes with new ingredients, or experiment with new recipes. In addition, food itself is imported from other countries. About 80 percent of Samoa’s food requirements are imported from the United States, New Zealand, or Australia. Because people and food arc mobile, attempts to characterize a country or people by what they eat are often inaccurate.
Even the role of conversation during mealtime varies from place to place. Many families believe that mealtime is a good time to catch up on the lives of family and friends. Among other families, conversation during a meal is acceptable, but the topics of conversation are limited. In some Southeast Asian countries, it is considered polite to limit conversation during a meal.
Food traditions vary widely throughout the world. However, in most parts of the world, food is associated with hospitality（好客）and expression of friendship. Therefore, sensitivity to food rules and customs is important in building and strengthening cross-cultural relationships.
32. What can be learned about Italians’ eating habits
A. They differ from region to region. B. They center on meat and potatoes.
C. They mainly consist of pizza and pasta. D. They are similar to American eating habits.
33. What is the author trying to reveal with the example of Samoa
A. People are forming new food preferences.
B. People can’t be simply defined by their food.
C. People don’t have the same food requirements.
D. People are developing a liking for international food.
34.What does the underlined part “catch up on” in paragraph 4 mean
A. Learn about. B. Make up for. C. Continue with. D. Make a difference to.
35. What advice is given in the last paragraph
A. Expression of friendship should be appropriate.
B. Awareness of food cultures should be developed.
C. Cross-cultural relationships should be built continually.
D. Food traditions should be passed on from generation to generation.

Lee took a deep breath and let it out slowly. When his lungs felt comfortable, he dived beneath the water. Looking up, he could see the bright sun shinning on the water’s surface. “Soon,” Lee thought, “I shall be able to hold my breath as long as David. Then I, too, shall be able to dive for pearls.”
With lungs burning, he quickly surfaced and gasped（喘气）for breath. Lee was small for his twelve years, and he hated being treated as a child. David, his old brother, had been looked upon as a man long before he was Lee’s age.
Now, every day as the sun warmed the bay, David and the other young men went out to dive for oysters（牡蛎）. With luck, there would be pearls in many of them. Many times Lee begged to go along, but David always refused.
So every day Lee would go to the shallow water to practice. With each day’s effort, his diving improved and he felt much at home in the water. “Tomorrow I shall challenge David.” Lee decided. The next morning, Lee rose early, hurrying to catch up with David, who was already on the beach. “David, wait!” called Lee.
The group of men around David grew quiet. Lee continued, “David, I say that I can hold my breath under the water as long as you can. If I win, I ask only that you treat me as a man and let me dive by your side.”
The men of the village gasped（倒抽气）and began to laugh. David looked amused, “And what if when you lose ”
“I will not lose!” He took a breath, “But if I should, I promise not to ask to go with you for a full year! The men of the village are here to judge.”
Hearing this, David looked surprised.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为80左右；
