Growing up in Philadelphia, Lieberman started cooking with his stay-at-home dad when he was seven. His food-loving family had two kitchens, and he quickly learned what was the best way to bake his cakes. Lieberman improved his kitchen skills greatly during a year abroad before college, learning from a cook in Italy and studying local specialties(特色菜) in Germany, Spain, and France.
At Yale, he was known for throwing dinner parties, single-handedly frying and baking while mixing drinks for dozens of friends. Just for fun, he and some friends decided to tape a show named campus cuisine(菜肴) about his cooking. Lieberman was a real college student showing his classmates how to do things like making drinks out of dining-hall fruit. That helped the show become very popular among the students. They would stop Lieberman after classes to ask for his advice on cooking. Tapes of the show were passed around, with which his name went beyond the school and finally to the Food Network.
Food Network producer Flay hopes the young cook will find a place on the network television. He says Lieberman’s charisma is key. “Food TV isn’t about food anymore,” says Flay. “It’s about your personality and finding a way to keep people’s eyeballs on your show.”
But Lieberman isn’t putting all his eggs in one basket. After taping the first season of the new show, Lieberman was back in his own small kitchen preparing sandwiches. An airline company was looking for someone to come up with a tasteful, inexpensive and easy- to-make menu to serve on its flights. Lieberman got the job. 4. We can learn from the text that Lieberman’s family_______. A. have relatives in Europe B. love cooking at home C. often hold parties D. own a restaurant 5. The Food Network got to know Lieberman_________ A. at one of his parities B. from his teachers C. through his taped show D. on a television program
6. What does the word “charisma” underlined in the text refer to?
A. A natural ability to attract others. B. A way to show one’s achievement. C. Lieberman’s after-class interest. D. Lieberman’s fine cooking skill. 7. What can we learn about Lieberman from the text?
A. He is clever but lonely. B. He is friendly and active. C. He enjoys traveling around. D. He often changes his menus.

Monkeys are very similar to us in many ways. Most have ten fingers and ten toes, and brains much like ours. In fact, Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution says that monkey and humans share a common ancestor（祖先）. We enjoy watching them because they often act like us, and we also love to use many expressions about monkeys in almost every language. This is why many monkey expressions are about tricky people or playful acts.
Monkeyshine is one of the expressions to show tricks or foolish acts. The meaning is clear if you have ever watched a group of monkeys playfully chasing each other:
- 2 -
A．one activity C．three activities
pulling tails, stealing food, doing tricks.
Monkeying around with something means that you do not know what you are doing. When you feel like doing something but have no firm idea of what to do, you are monkeying around. It is just a way to pass the time.
Monkey business usually means secret, maybe illegal activities. You may come across a new report that there is monkey business involved in building the new airport, with some officials getting secret payments from builders.
Monkey suits are common names for clothes or uniforms soldiers wear. In earlier years in many American cities, you would find men playing musical band organs（风琴）on the street. Dancing to the music would be the man’s small monkey that was dressed in a tight-fitting, colorful jacket similar to a military uniform. So, people began to call a military（军队的） uniform a monkey suit.
8. Which of the following is NOT true about the similarities between human and
monkey?
A. Most monkeys have ten fingers and toes. B. Monkeys have the same brains as humans. C. Monkeys often act like humans in many ways.
D. Monkeys are humans’ closest relatives in species.
9. According to the passage, an idle(懒散的) wander on the street can be described as______.
A. monkeyshine B. monkeying around C. a monkey suit D. monkey business
10. Monkey suits are commonly used to call military uniforms because they ______. A. are created particularly for soldiers’ uniforms. B. are originally designed for American soldiers.
C. share typical（典型的）features with military uniforms. D. make American soldiers look like monkeys. 11. Most monkey expressions are ______.
A. used only in western cultures. B. used on some formal occasions. C. about tricks and naughtiness. D. about terrible funny behaviors.

Do you like to eat out? Do you like to eat quickly? Do you like inexpensive food? Some people go to fast-food restaurants for these reasons. In the past, people usually went to diners（路边餐馆）for these reasons. In fact, many people in the States still go to diners today for the same reasons.
A man named Walter Scott had the first “diner” in 1872. It wasn’t a real diner. It was only a food cart. People on the street walked up to the cart to buy food. These carts served late-night workers who wanted a cup of coffee and a late-night meal. The meal was a sandwich or boiled eggs.
In 1887, Samuel Jones built the first diner big enough to allow the customers to come inside. However, they did not sit down. Later, people built diners with counters and stools（凳子）, and people sat down while they ate.
Before long, many diners stayed open around the clock. In other words, people

were able to eat in diner at any time. Diners changed in other ways, too. The original（最初的） menu of sandwiches and coffee became bigger. It included soup, favorite dishes, and a breakfast menu. In addition, diners soon became permanent buildings. They were no longer carts on wheels.
Diners today look similar to the diners of the early 1900s. They are usually buildings with large windows. Inside, the diners have shining counters with stools, booths, and tables and chairs. People can eat all three meals in a modern diner. Today, many people eat in fast-food restaurants such as McDonald’s and Burger King. However, the diner remains an American tradition, and thousands of people still enjoy eating there. It was popular a century ago, and it is still popular today. 12.What meals did the first diners serve?
A. Only breakfast B. Only lunch C. Only night-meals D. All of the above 13.According to paragraph 5, diners changed in __________
A. Two ways B. three ways C. four ways D. five ways 14.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. Diners existed before a fast-food restaurant
B. The menu included more food than sandwiches and coffee. C. Burger King is a fast-food restaurant D. Sandwiches became smaller
15.The main idea of the passage is that ______________.
A. the diner is a traditional and popular place to eat in the United States. B. Samuel Johns built the first diner big enough to allow the customers to come inside.
C. American diners serve many types of food 24 hours a day to their customers. D. Diners are different from fast-food restaurants in many ways. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
