Choose the best answer for each of the following questions according to the text. Why does cream go bad faster than butter? Some researchers think they have the answer, and it es down to the structure of the food, not its chemical position— a finding that could help rid some processed foods of chemical preservatives. Cream and butter contain pretty much the same substances, so why cream should sour much faster has been a mystery. Both are emulsions— tiny globules (小球体 ) of one liquid evenly distributed throughout another. The difference lies in what’s in the globules and what’s in the surrounding liquid, says Brocklehurst, who led the investigation. In cream, fatty globules drift about in a sea of water. In butter, globules of a watery solution are locked away in a sea of fat. The bacteria which make the food go bad prefer to live in the watery regions of the mixture. “This means that in cream, the bacteria are free to grow throughout the mixture,” he says. When the situation is reversed, the bacteria are locked away in partments (分隔间 ) buried deep in the sea of fat. Trapped in this way, individual colonies cannot spread and rapidly run out of nutrients (养料 ). They also slowly poison themselves with their waste products. “In butte r, you get a selflimiting system which stops the bacteria growing,” says Brocklehurst. The researchers are already working with food panies keen to see if their products can be made resistant to bacterial attack through alterations to the food’s structure. Brocklehurst believes it will be possible to make the emulsions used in salad cream, for instance, more like that in butter. The key will be to do this while keeping the salad cream liquid and not turning it into a solid lump. （ 1） The significance of Brocklehurst’s research is that ____________. A) it suggested a way to keep some foods fresh without preservatives B) it discovered tiny globules in both cream and butter C) it revealed the secret of how bacteria multiply in cream and butter D) it found that cream and butter share the same chemical position （ 2） According to the researchers, cream sours fast than butter because bacteria _________. A) are more evenly distributed in cream B) multiply more easily in cream than in butter C) live on less fat in cream than in butter D) produce less waste in cream than in butter （ 3） According to Brocklehurst, we can keep cream fresh by ___________. A) removing its fat B) killing the bacteria C) reducing its water content D) altering its structure （ 4） The word “colonies” (Para. 4) refers to __________. A) tiny globules B) watery regions C) bacteria munities D) little partments （ 5） Commercial application of the research finding will be possible if salad cream can be made resistant to bacterial attack _____________. A) by varying its chemical position B) by turning it into a solid lump C) while keeping its structure unchanged D) while retaining its liquid form 答案部分 一、综合题。 1. 【 正确答案 】 1. A 2. B 3. D 4. C 5.

Understanding the text Choose the best answer for each of the following questions according to the text Long after the 1998 World Cup was won, disappointed fans were still cursing the disputed refereeing（裁判） decisions that denied victory to their team. A researcher was appointed to study the performance of some top referees. The researcher anized an experimental tournament（锦标赛） involving four youth teams. Each match lasted an hour, divided into three periods of 20 minutes during which different referees were in charge. Observers noted down the referees’ errors, of which th ere were 61 over the tournament. Converted to a standard match of 90 minutes, each referee made almost 23 mistakes, a remarkably high number. The researcher then studied the videotapes to analyse the matches in detail. Surprisingly, he found that errors were more likely when the referees were close to the incident. When the officials got it right, they were, on average, 17 meters away from the action. The average distance in the case of errors was 12 meters. The research shows the optimum（最佳的） distance is about 20 meters. There also seemed to be an optimum speed. Correct decisions came when the referees were moving at a speed of about 2 meters per second. The average speed for errors was 4 meters per second. If FIFA, football’s international ruling body, wants to improve the standard of refereeing at the next World Cup, it should encourage referees to keep their eyes on the action from a distance, rather than rushing to keep up with the ball, the researcher argues. He also says that FIFA’s insistence that referees should retire at age 45 may be misguided. If keeping up with the action is not so important, their physical condition is less critical. （ 1） The experiment conducted by the researcher was meant to ________. A) review the decisions of referees at the 1998 World Cup B) analyse the causes of errors made by football referees C) set a standard for football refereeing D) reexamine the rules for football refereeing （ 2） The number of refereeing errors in the experimental matches was ________. A) slightly above average B) higher than in the 1998 World Cup C) quite unexpected D) as high as in a standard match （ 3） The findings of the experiment show that ________. A) errors are more likely when a referee keeps close to the ball B) the farther the referee is from the inc。
