Fred Astaire was born in Nebraska in 1899. Fred and his sister, Adele, learned to dance when they were very young. Their mother took them to New York to study dance. They performed in their first professional show when Fred was ten years old and Adele was twelve. Later, as teenagers, the two danced in many shows throughout the United States. Their first big success was on Broadway in 1917.

The Astaires — as they were known — became Broadway stars. However, in 1932, Adele Astaire married a British man, and stopped performing. But Fred did not give up his dream. He would go on alone, in the movies.

Fred said, “Dancing is a sweaty job. You cannot just sit down and do it. You have to get up on your feet. It takes time to get a dance right, to create something memorable. I always try to get to know my dance so well that I do not have to think.”

In 1949, Fred Astaire won a special award for his film work from America’s Motion Picture Academy. He also won awards from the television industry for a number of his television programs.

Fred stopped dancing in 1970. He was more than seventy years old at the time. He said a dancer could not continue dancing forever. He said he did not want to disappoint anyone, even himself. He danced again in public only once after that. It was with another great male dancer, Gene Kelly, in the movie “That’s Entertainment, Part Two”.

Fred Astaire and his first wife, Phyllis, had three children. Phyllis died in 1954. Twenty-five years later, Fred married race horse rider Robyn Smith. Fred Astaire died on June 22, 1987.

Humans are the only animals to eat chilies（辣椒）, even though they sometimes cause us to be discomfortable.

Many of us have had this experience: We eat something very spicy, our mouth burns, then our nose gets runny and our eyes start to water. Therefore, why exactly does this happen?

All spicy foods come from plants, and according to BBC News, these plants contain spicy items to keep animals from eating them. Eating or even just touching these plants leads to the familiar burning feeling that comes from spicy food.

When we are eating the spicy food, our nose and eyes may also feel irritated（痒痒的）and go into defense mode（模式）, producing tears or mucus（黏液）to protect themselves. The more irritated our nose and eyes feel, the more tears or mucus they produce. That explains the tearing eyes, running nose and burning mouth that comes from eating spicy food.

So, if we know that our body will react to chilies this way, why is it that humans are the only animals to eat them? In fact, about 600 million Chinese, almost half of the national population, are chili eaters, reported website Huanqiu.

It’s widely believed that a glass of ice water is the perfect way to lighten the burning sense caused by spiciness. However, as Live Science reported, it’s been proved that water will just make you feel worse by spreading the spicy items around your mouth.

*Live Science suggested that the easiest way to put out the fire in your mouth is with dairy products, such as milk or yogurt. Dairy contains a special element named casein（酪蛋白）, a type of protein which is able to dissolve the spicy component（成分）in chilies and reduce your pain immediately.

Equally effective is a spoon of sugar, according to Live Science.

So, if you’re the kind of person who holds the belief “the spicier, the better”, make sure to keep some dairy products in your refrigerator.

46. A lot of animals don’t like chilies because they ______ if they eat or touch them.

A. produce tears or mucus     B. their eyes feel happy

C. have a feeling like burning     D. their noses feel irritated

47. Which of the following way is the Right way of making the symptoms less serious while eating chilies according to the passage?

A. We can try a spoon of salt.

B. We can drink a bottle of ice water.

C. We should drink a large cup of warm tea.

D. We can eat some dairy products such as yogurt.

48. Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. Some plants contain spicy items to protect their enemies.

B. When we are eating chilies, our body creates a chemical that makes us happy.

C. Eating or even just touching spicy plants will make us burn with anger.

D. Humans, as well as all the animals, like eating chilies very much.

49. What does the underlined word “dissolve” mean in the passage?

A. fail to work out something     B. make something disappear

C. increase something by a chemical   D. can’t help doing something

50. Why did the writer write the paragraph with a “*”?

A. To show one of the best methods to stop the burning feeling from spicy food.

B. To tell readers how good and effective dairy products are.

C. To tell readers why dairy products reduce pain.

D. To show what dairy contains.

(C)

Hannay was nervous. His enemies were searching for him. All around him were grassy hills without trees. He had nowhere to hide. How could he escape?
 Hannay walked along the country for a long time. Then he saw a road worker, who was working alone, fixing the road. Hannay could see the road worker was not feeling well. Hannay came up to him and said “How are you?”

“My head hurts,” the worker said, “I can’t do it. I want to go home to bed. My daughter got married yesterday, and I drank a lot of wine with my friends. That’s the problem!”

Hannay agreed that he should be home in bed.

“Yes, and I would be,” he replied, “but yesterday I received a message saying that the new surveyor was coming to look at my work. If he comes and finds me away, I’ll be in trouble.”

Suddenly Hannay had a bright idea — he could act as the road worker and get away from his enemies.

“You go off to bed,” Hannay said, “I’ll do your job until the new surveyor comes.”

The road worker was pleased with this idea. He gave Hannay his hat and his old coat. Then he went home to sleep and perhaps to drink a bit more. Hannay put on the worker’s hat and coat and began to fix the road. About an hour later he heard a voice.

“Are you the road worker?” it asked.

It was the new surveyor. He was a young man with a clean face. He sat in a small car.

Hannay said yes. The surveyor told him about some work he wanted him to do before he came by again and drove off. Hannay continued with his work.

Then a village boy came by, “What has happened to the road worker?” he asked.

“He stayed at home today,” Hannay replied. “He’s sick.”

At about midday, a large car came down the hill and stopped near Hannay. Three men got out of the car. Hannay’s heart beat fast. He knew his enemies were coming...

51. What is this passage probably taken from?

A. A history book.  B. A travel book.  C. A novel.   D. A science book.

52. Why was the road worker feeling ill?
 A. He had a cold.

B. He hadn’t eaten all day.

C. He had been working all day.

D. He drank too much at his daughter’s wedding.

53. Who did NOT come by while Hannay was working on the road?

A. The surveyor.       B. The road worker’s daughter.

C. Hannay’s enemies.      D. A village boy.

54. What can we infer from the story?

A. Hannay helped the road worker because he was warm-hearted.

B. The grassy hills were a perfect hiding place for Hannay.

C. The surveyor had a lot of working experience.

D. The village boy knew the road worker.

55. What is the correct order of the story?

①Hannay met a road worker who was not feeling well and offered to take over for him.

②Hannay was worried because his enemies were following him.

③A car stopped near Hannay and three men got out.

④Hannay acted as the road worker when the surveyor came by.

⑤The village boy wondered what had happened to the road worker.

A. ②①④⑤③  B. ②①④③⑤  C. ①④②⑤③  D. ①④②③⑤

More youth are saying “no” to meat, “yet” to veggies

Sticking to a vegan diet might sound difficult. But in recent years, veganism（素食主义）has become a more popular lifestyle in many places. ___56___ in the UK, about 542,000 people turned vegan during the last decade.

So why exactly has veganism become so popular?

___57___ The heat used to keep barns（畜棚）warm, the machines that process meat and even the animals’ farts（屁）can result in more greenhouse gases. These factors are believed to account for 18 percent of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions, according to a 2013 study by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization. ___58___

A growing number of people are also deciding that it’s wrong to kill animals for food, according to BBC News.

Jess Murray, 22, is a student from London. He said that humans do not need to eat animals to survive. He believe whether to eat animals or not is an ethical（道德的）choice and has therefore chosen to become vegan.

___59___ Vegan famous people are able to use social media to spread their messages and share tips about living a vegan lifestyle.

But experts also want to remind people that meat is important for our health. A strict vegan diet cannot always offer the minerals and vitamins that a human body needs, depending on one’s dietary choices. ___60___
