If you bought some candy months ago but never ate it, how can you tell whether it’s still eatable? The easiest way is to check the “expiration date（EXP）” printed on the cover. If that date has already passed, you may throw the candy away. But is that really necessary?
According to a new report from the NRDC, tons of food is wasted each year, largely because people don’t fully understand what expiration dates actually mean, so they think the food is not safe to eat.
Food dating was introduced in 1975 because customers wanted more information about the things that they were eating. When they first showed up, use-by dates only showed freshness because producers wanted their products to be tasted in their best conditions.
However, most customers mistakenly believed that use-by dates showed how safe the food was. But the truth is that these dates have nothing to do with the danger of food poisoning（中毒）. Eggs, can still be eaten three to five weeks after being bought, even though the use﹣by dates is much earlier. When their use-by dates pass, strawberry-flavored drinks may lose their red color and cookies may lose their crunch（松脆的口感）, but they are not harmful.
“It’s an unclear subject, the difference between food quality and food safety,” said Jane Roberts from a US food testing company. “Even the workmates in the food factory are not sure about it. This is why the use-by dates must be printed on the covers of products. We hope it can help customers understand the information so that they won’t waste a lot of food.”
But this won’t be a mistake that is easy to correct, because people have believed it for so long. Another problem is that the quality levels of different foods change differently. Some are still eatable long after their use-by date while others are not.
As a result, food factory officials are not thinking of changing the use-by dates to a date which can show when the food is to be thrown away.
26．Every year, why is tons of food thrown away?
A．Because it is no longer delicious.
B．Because it is no longer fresh.
C．Because people think it’s not safe to cat.
D．Because the use-by dates are wrongly printed.
27．What did the use-by dates show at first according to the passage?
A．Food safety. B．Food quality. C．Food freshness. D．Food producer.
28．What do the underlined words “expiration date （EXP）” mean?
A．生产日期 B．出厂期 C．包装期 D．有效期
29．What can we learn from Paragraph 4?
A．Even after their expiration dates pass, some foods are still safe to cat.
B．“Expiration dates” were first used to show when food was possible to go bud.
C．Most customers care more about freshness than food safety.
D．Most customers fully understand what expiration dates mean.
30．What’s probably the best title for this passage?
A．Food dating. B．Expiration dates and food safety.
C．Customers and food. D．Food quality and freshness.

He shouted at her, saying, “Don’t you know, when you give someone a present, there is supposed to be something inside? 38．” The little girl looked up at him with tears in her eyes, “Oh, Daddy, it’s not empty at all. I blew kisses into the box. They’re all for you, Daddy.”
The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little girl, and said sorry to her.
Only a short time later, an accident took the life of the child. 39． Whenever he was discouraged, he would take out an imaginary kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there.
In a very real sense, each one of us, as human beings, has been given a gold box filled with love... from our children, family members, friends, and ... 40．

文章大意：本文是记叙文。在成长过程中我们或许会害怕尝试新事物，或许会害怕失败，然而，这些都是成长的必经阶段。在此过程中，我们需要以积极向上的态度来面对这一切。
41．句意：每个人都很兴奋，除了我。
strange陌生的；sad伤心的；nervous紧张的；excited兴奋的。根据空格后面的“except me”，以及下文“I’ll hate it,”可知，作者不想去冬令营，然而其他人应该是都很“兴奋”，故选D。
42．句意：大家都会嘲笑我。

43．句意：“这就是成长的意义所在。”爸爸补充道
who谁；what什么；when何时；why为什么。根据““It’s … growing up is all about,” Dad added.”可知本句为表语从句，且句子是缺少成分的，所以不能用副词，排除C、D选项；再结合语境，可知爸爸是说这就是成长的意义所在，这里表示的是事物，而不是人，因此用what，故选B。

45．句意：我开始放松下来。
eat吃；ask问；relax放松；sleep睡觉。根据上文“I wasn’t the only one!”我不是唯一的一个。作者一开始担心自己会想家，害怕会被别人笑话，因此当听到别人说想家时，她应该是开始放松了，故选C。
46．句意：我滑雪很小心，但还是撞到了一块冰，摔了下来。
carefully小心地；interestingly有趣地；finally最后地；quickly快速地。根据上文“I’ll look stupid at winter sports,”可知，由于作者不擅长冬季体育运动，因此她应该是小心地滑雪，故选A。
47．句意：我回头看是谁在取笑我。
walked around四处走走；stood up站起来；looked back回头看；stepped over跨过。根据上文“Behind me, somebody started laughing.”可知，有人在作者身后发出笑声，因此作者应该是朝身后看去，想知道究竟是谁在笑，故选C。
48．句意：我以为我不擅长这个，但我比我想象的还要糟糕!
but但是；so所以；because因为；or或者。根据“I thought I’d be bad at this, … I’m worse than I expected!”可知前后句之间表达的是转折关系，因此用but连接，故选A。
49．句意：突然，我也笑了起来。
Quietly安静地；Hopefully充满希望地；Unhappily不开心地；Suddenly突然。结合上文语境，可知是女孩所说的话让作者也突然笑了起来，故选D。
50．句意：在如此害怕摔倒之后，不再害怕它是一种安慰。
tired累的；proud自豪的；certain必然的；afraid害怕的。根据下文“it was a comfort not to fear it anymore.”不再害怕它了，这是一种安慰；结合上文语境，可知作者一直都是害怕摔倒的，因此应是在害怕摔倒之后，故选D。

failed失败；refused拒绝；forgot忘记；stopped停止。根据前半句“I was so happy to be talking about interesting things”，可知作者在晚餐时和别人聊得很开心，因此应是忘记了想家，故选C。

prepared准备；chosen选择；protected保护；allowed允许。根据后半句“even though I didn’t want to.”我并不想这么做，结合语境及选项，可知作者在第二天应是被选中第一个尝试跳台滑雪，故选B。

flying飞；crying哭；learning学习；dying死。根据上文“But when my feet left the ground,”脚离开地面，可知作者应是感觉自己是在飞，故选A。
54．句意：也许妈妈和爸爸所说的成长方式更多地与我的态度有关，而不是我的外表。
winning back赢回；showing off炫耀；growing up成长；working out解决。根据上文““It’s … growing up is all about,” Dad added.”“这就是成长的意义所在，”爸爸补充说。结合语境，可知作者在此是发出关于成长的感慨，故选C。
55．句意：当我们尝试新事物时，我们都担心失败。
catch up赶上；worry about担心；believe in相信；point out指出。根据“We all … failing when we try new things.”联系全文的语境可知，在成长过程中，当我们尝试新事物时，我们都会担心不适应或是失败，故选B。

Happiness comes from hard work
Our life is full of happiness. My happiness comes from hard work. I can get happiness every time I work hard.
Last term, I was chosen to take part in the English Speech Contest. I was nervous when I heard the news, because I was always afraid of speaking in public. I wondered if I could succeed and I wanted to give up. My English teacher noticed that. She had a long talk with me and encouraged me to challenge myself. After that, I kept practicing every day. When I got the first prize in the contest, I felt happy from my deep heart.
My happiness is from the success through my hard work. The harder I work, the more happiness I get.
