C About 1,500 years ago the Japanese imported many aspects of Chinese culture ： the writing system, political institutions, and perhaps the most important, Buddhism. Buddhist priests were expected to eat only vegetables

29、, and tofu made from the soybean, was a very important food in their diet. When Buddhism was introduced from China tofu was also brought to Japan.Tofu developed in different ways in China and Japan. While the Chinese often changed the taste of tofu by mixing it with strongly-flavored vegetables or m

30、eat，the Japanese preferred to eat it using only a simple sauce. Even now，traditional Japanese cooking preserves the original delicacy of tofu, though the way it is served may change from season to season. In summer, for example, it is simply served cold, while in winter it is often eaten as part of

31、a hot dish.The soybean was introduced to the West in the 18th century, but little interest was taken in it. Only scientists recognized its high food value. During the Second World War, when meat was in short supply, the US government encouraged the American people to eat soybean products. However, t

32、hey never became very popular and, after the war, interest in them dropped off as the supply of meat became plentiful again.In recent years，people in the West have become increasingly aware of the dangers of eating too much animal fat, and as a result, they have turned more and more to soybean produ

33、cts. This is mainly because the soybean provides almost the same food value as meat, and in addition it is a lot more healthful. Much of the margarine (人造黄油)，salad oil and cooking oil in daily use is now produced from soybean oil. Tofu, a representative soybean product and originally one of the main

34、 foods in the diet of Chinese priests, is considered to be one of the healthiest foods available to man.43. Tofu came to Japan together with Buddhism because _.A. Buddhist priests ate tofu rather than vegetablesB. it was a very important food in the diet of Buddhist priestsC. the religion came to Ja

35、pan together with political institutionsD. the religion was the most important aspect of Chinese culture44. How are Japanese tofu dishes different from Chinese tofu dishes?A. They are preserved in the original taste. B. They are served the same way throughout the year.C.They have a better taste than

36、 Chinese tofu dishes. D.They have a greater variety than Chinese tofu dishes.45. Why did the US government encourage its people to eat soybean products in wartime?A. Americans recognized their high food value. B. Little interest was taken in the soybean products.C. Meat was less available than befor

37、e. D. They were found to taste very good.46. The Western people become interested in tofu and other soybean products because _.A. they have become tired of eating meat B. meat has become too expensive to buyC. these products are more readily available, D. eating too much animal fat is considered unh

38、ealthyDWhy should mankind explore space? Why should money, time and effort be spent exploring and researching something with so few apparent benefits? Why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth? These are questions that, understandably, are very often asked.

39、Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup as human beings. What drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains, and on into all possible areas and environments. The wider the spread of a species, the better its chance of survival. Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is t

40、his genetic tendency to expand wherever possible.Nearly every successful civilization has explored, because by doing so, any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for. Without knowledge, we may be completely destroyed by the danger. With knowledge, we can lessen its effects.Exp

41、loration also allows minerals and other potential resources to be found. Even if we have no immediate need of them, they will perhaps be useful later. Resources may be more than physical possessions. Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploration. The techniques may have medical appl

42、ications which can improve the length or quality of our lives. We have already benefited from other spin-offs including improvements in earthquake prediction, in satellites for weather forecasting and in communications systems. Even non-stick pans and mirrored sunglasses are by-products of technolog

43、ical developments in the space industry.While many resources are spent on what seems a small return, the exploration of space allows creative, brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save us. While space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe wa

44、s formed or how it works, it also holds dangers. The danger exists, but knowledge can help human being to survive. Without the ability to reach out across space, the chance to save ourselves might not exist.While Earth is the only planet known to support life, surely the adaptive ability of humans w

45、ould allow us to live on other planets. It is true that the lifestyle would be different, but human life and cultures have adapted in the past and surely could in the future.47.What is the reason for exploring space based on Paragraph2?A. Humans are nature-born to do so. B. Humans have the tendency

46、to fight.C. Humans may find new sources of food. D. Humans dont like to stay in the same place.48.The underlined word “spin-offs” in Paragraph 4 probably refers to _.A. survival chances B. potential resources C. unexpected benefits D. physical possessions49.What makes it possible for humans to live

47、on other planets?A. Our genetic makeup. B. Resources on the earth.C. The adaptive ability of humans. D. By-products in space exploration.50.Which of the statements can best sum up the passage? A. Space exploration has created many wonders.B. Space exploration provided the best value for money.C. Spa

48、ce exploration can benefit science and technology.D. Space exploration may help us avoid potential problems on Earth.IV信息匹配（共5题，每题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多途选项。When I was a little girl, my mom would say, “Half the fun of doing anything is sharing it with others.” 51 Friends and

49、mates allow us to enjoy our successes and our joys, comfort us in our hard moments, and provide a mirror for us to learn more about ourselves. Ive always looked at friends as the family we choose. They enrich our lives. As Robert Louis Steven once said, “ 52 ”To be a good friend or partner, its impo

50、rtant to be a good listener. Hear what your friend or mate has to say first rather than jump to conclusions or get defensive. 53 When they hear their words repeated back to them, it can help them to realize what they said was not exactly what they meant to say. 54 You know the old golden rule, “Care

51、 for others the way you would like them to care for you.” The support of a friend during a tough time could make the difference between success and failure.
