Passage 1

It was a cold grey day in late November, and although it was now only a little after two

o’clock in the afternoon, the dark of a winter evening seemed to have come down over the hills, hiding them in mist（薄雾）． The air was cold, and in spite of the tightly closed windows it found its way into the coach. The few passengers sat close together for warmth. Mary Yellan was sitting where the drops of rain came through the crack in the roof. She brushed them away with impatient fingers. Although she was only 40 miles by road from what had been her home for 23 years, she was already beginning to miss it. The courage which was so large a part of her, and had helped her so much during the long unhappiness of her mother’s illness and death, was now shaken by this rain and wind.

She remembered a letter from her aunt. The writer said that the news had shocked her; that she had had no idea that her sister was ill, because it was many years since she had been in Helford. And she went on: “There have been changes with us that you will not know about. I no longer live in Bodmin, but nearly 12 miles outside it, on the road to Launceston. It’s a wild and lonely spot, and if you were to come to us I should be glad of your company in wintertime. I have asked your uncle, and he does not object, he says, if you don’t talk too much and will give help when it is needed. He cannot give you money or feed you for nothing, as you will understand. He will expect your help in the bar in return for your room and meals. You see, your uncle is the landlord of Jamaica Inn.”

The letter was a strange message of welcome from the smiling Aunt Patience she remembered. A cold, empty letter, giving no word of comfort, and little information, except that she must not ask for money. Aunt Patience, with her silk skirts and delicate ways, the wife of an innkeeper!

So it was that Mary Yellan found herself traveling north in the coach. Villages were scattered now, and there were few smiling faces at the doors of the small houses. There were almost no trees. The wind blew and the rain came with the wind.

21. The purpose of Mary Yellan’s trip is to ______ .

A. work in her uncle’s inn

B. spend a winter holiday with her aunt

C. inform her aunt of her mother’s death

D. live with her aunt after her mother’s death

22. The word “shaken” (Line 10, Paragraph 1) is closest in meaning to ______ .

A. moved

B. shocked

C. weakened

D. improved

23. Mary Yellan’s feeling on the trip can be best described as ______.

A. hesitant

B. heavy

C. hopeful

D. relieved

24. According to the letter, Mary Yellan was required to ______ .

A. take care of her aunt

B. run the inn for her uncle

C. pay money for her meals

D. talk less and help in the bar

25. It can be learned from Paragraph 3 that Mary Yellan was ______ .

A. surprised at her aunt’s businesslike manner

B. angry about her aunt’s cold letter

C. lonely without her aunt’s help

D. happy to see her aunt

Passage 2

It’s summer time, meaning a lot of people are eating outside while enjoying the sunshine. But if you don’t properly take care of the grill or the food you’re cooking on it, you could wind up making people sick.

According to Dr. Elizabeth Hagen, the under secretary for food safety at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, people may neglect the importance of food safety during cookouts, because they’re busy entertaining and do not have the same “sense of food handling” they might have in the kitchen. However, Hagen noted it’s important to be cautious no matter where you cook, because thousands of people are admitted to hospitals every year for food-related illnesses. “Forty-eight million people in the United States get sick every year from food poisoning. Forty-eight million,” Hagen said. “And 128,000 of them end up in the hospital; 30,000 of them will die from food-related illness each year in the United States. That’s why this is worth talking about, raising awareness, and giving people the information they need to reduce the risk.”

Hagen listed three steps to keeping food safe. The first step is to clean your hands, tools and food surfaces before you cook. Then you should separate raw meat and poultry（禽肉）from foods that won’t be cooked. Besides, you need to use a meat thermometer to cook to the proper temperature.

“When you’re eating outside the rule is two hours,” Hagen said. “You really can’t leave things sitting out for more than two hours, and if the temperature is above thirty-two degrees, which it often is at fourth of July, you can’t leave things out for more than one hour. So get them back into the cooler, back into the refrigerator as soon as possible.”

If you get a food-related illness, Hagen said you may start feeling symptoms anywhere from a couple of hours to as long as six weeks after you’ve eaten the unhealthy food.

26. The phrase “wind up” (Line 3, Paragraph 1) is closest in meaning to ______.

A. turn up

B. end up

C. clean up

D. give up

27. Which of the following statements is true according to Dr. Hagen?

A. People pay less attention to food safety during cookouts.

B. 48 million people suffer from food poisoning during cookouts.

C. 128,000 people die from food-related illness each year in the US.

D. People have less sense of food handling when they cook at home.

28. What is the second step listed by Dr. Hagen to keep food safe?

A. Clean your hands, tools and food surfaces.

B. Keep your cooking materials in the refrigerator.

C. Separate raw meat from foods that won’t be cooked.

D. Cook to the right temperature by using a meat thermometer.

29. How long can you leave the food out when the temperature is above 32℃ ?

A. More than three hours.

B. More than two hours.

C. No more than two hours.

D. No more than one hour.

30. What is the passage mainly about?

A. Outdoor cooking.

B. Food storage.

C. Outdoor food safety.

D. Food-related diseases.
