During my last summer holiday, I go to France with my father to do some sightseeing. On third day, our bus pulled into a motorway service station. Our guide told us we wouldn't stop again that day, so we had to eat a meal in the only restaurant here. There was a problem. When I asked about fish, in my terrible French, the assistant thought l wanted chickens. Anyway, ten minutes late, I got my meal. I thought the food would be dull, what wasn’t the case at all. Wonderfully cooking, it tasted delicious and had been nothing in common with motorway food elsewhere. Maybe I shouldn't have been so surprising as this, after all, was France.

Approximately l,250 km long, the Red Sea coast of Egypt is surely one of the best places in the world to go underwater diving. 1.？ Its hot sunny climate and clear warm water make it the ideal place for beginners as well as for experienced divers, at any time of the year.
With over fifty diving centres in the area, many different types of diving are possible. At centres for complete beginners, there are many training courses designed for them.2.. These dives get the rookie(新手)divers used to being underwater and teach some basic skills such as swimming and breathing below the surface.
More experienced divers can choose from a vast range of possible activities. Many of these can be enjoyed either as part of a group or, if they prefer, alone. Some like to explore the coast of the National Park, where the steep cliffs(悬崖)extend underwater to a depth of more than seventy metres.3.,for dives of this kind, divers are advised to be accompanied by a guide. An experienced guide can help the divers escape the danger before it approaches.
For really advanced divers, there are some fascinating wrecks(失事船只)at the bottom of the Red Sea.4. ,it is well worth going just to see the huge variety of beautiful plants and fish down there. However, divers do need to be aware that one kick in the wrong direction can cause a“storm" of fine dark silt(淤泥)which can be virtually blinding. 5..However, divers are forbidden to touch anything or attempt to move any artworks.
A. If you are a more experienced diver
B. How well does it live up to its reputation
C. Where is exactly this truly wonderful diving place
D. As the strong currents can suddenly change direction
E. They all include simple dives with a qualified instructor
F. Although visits to these old ships require quite long boat trips
G. Also, some of the sites have artworks lying in the ships or on the sandy bottom
If you buy a washing machine, a fridge or a television in Europe, it comes with a sticker. Thanks to a 1992 EU rule, all appliances must be labelled (贴标签) with their energy efficiency. So why has our food system-which threatens 10,000 species with extinction, produces about 30% of greenhouse gases, and drives 800/o of our air pollution-only ever had voluntary eco-labels?
The appliances ruling had a huge impact; initially, 75% of fridges and freezers were rated G to D(low efficiency) , but today 98% are classed A++ or A+++. Worldwide, the energy efficiency of labelled appliances has increased three times faster than appliances without labels. Introducing an equal system for food could have an even bigger impact.
Mandatory environmental labels would change how we produce and consume in far-reaching ways. First, producers would have to measure their impacts in a uniform way and be accountable for the results. This would not be expensive: it is free to monitor environmental impacts using digital tools such as Field print and the Cool Farm Tool. Second, they support sustainable consumption. Our research found that products that look, taste and cost the same can have dramatically different environmental impacts. High-impact beef producers use 5,7000% more land and create l,000% more greenhouse gases than low-impact producers. Labels would allow consumers to tell these products apart.
They would highlight both high-and low-impact producers, in the same way, across multiple products. This would encourage more people to think about their choices by exposing them to the facts every time they are in the shops. We can also use labels to turn smaller consumer changes into large environmental benefits: because a small number of producers create a large share of the impact, simply avoiding high-impact producers can make a huge contribution to pollution reductions.
1.Why does the author mention the appliances in Paragraph 1 ？
A. To applaud the 1992 EU rule.
B. To bring up the topic of labelling food.
C. To point out the pollution they caused.
D. To compare their energy consumption rates.
2.What do the figures in Paragraph 2 show?
A. The importance of saving energy.
B. The debate about eco-labelled appliances.
C. The effectiveness of the appliances ruling.
D. The problem caused by appliances of low efficiency.
3.What does the word “Mandatory” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Compulsory. B. Effective. C. Different. D. Independent.
4.What can be learned about eco-labels?
A. They will increase the profits of low-impact producers.
B. They can show producers' environmental impacts.
C. They will guide consumers to buy healthier food.
D. They can expose consumers to more products.
About l.5 billion people speak English around the world. But for more than l.1 billion of them, English is their second language-often with a noticeable accent.
“Someone's accent really reveals a lot about who they are and their identity. It will tell people what their native language is and probably where they come from,”says Marc Pell, a communications professor at McGill University in Montreal. And according to Pell, one reaction to it can be a bias(偏见) against that person.
Previous research that has been done elsewhere showed that people who have an accent tend to be trusted less, simply because they have an accent. But accents aren't the only thing we listen for when we have to decide if we trust another person. Tone of voice also plays a role. Pell and his team wanted to know if people would trust a confident tone, even if it came from someone with an accent.
The researchers had Canadian English speakers listen to different versions of people saying neutral(无明显特性的) statements like “she has access to the building” while they were getting a brain scan in an MRI(磁共振成像) machine. Subjects heard someone say it with a confident tone with a Canadian English accent, an Australian accent or a French accent. Participants also heard the sentence with the three accents spoken in a doubtful or neutral tone.
The MRI scans showed that the participants had to use more brain power to decide if they could trust the statements said with the non-native accents. When the study participants heard the Australian or French accents, blood flow increased to the part of the brain that we use to process sound. They seemed to have to analyze that perhaps more carefully, or for a longer period of time to make this decision about whether they truly believed the speaker, especially when the speaker sounded doubtful. When asked, the participants reported not trusting either Australian or French accents-except when the statements were said confidently. It seems that confidence speaks for itself.
1.What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. A person's accent. B. A person's identity.
C. A person's hometown. D. A person's native language.
2.What did Pell's team want to know?
A. Why some people trust others less.
B. Which parts of the brain deal with sound.
C. What can cause a bias against non-natives.
D. Whether a non-native's confident tone can gain trust.
3.For the study participants, which of the following might demand the most brain power?
A. A Canadian speaking English in a friendly way.
B. A French person speaking English neutrally.
C. An American speaking English confidently.
D. An Australian speaking English doubtfully.
4.Where does this text most probably come from?
A. A research plan. B. A health magazine.
C. An academic journal. D. A language-learning guide.
