　　Can you imagine a world without chocolate? It's not something I'd 1ike to do. So I was relieved to read that there’s a university with a programme to safeguard the future of chocolate!

　　The University of Reading, in England, has just opened a new clearing house for all the world’s new cocoa varieties. They must be quarantined(隔離檢疫)before they can be grown. Why? Cocoa production hit a record high of 4.4 million tons last year but about 30%of the precious crop is regularly lost to pests and diseases. Now we don’t want that, do we?

　　Demand for chocolate has been increasing faster than the world supply of cocoa and researchers think that new varieties are key to solving this problem.

　　The University of Reading has been protecting the quality of the new crops since 1985, after it took over the task from the Royal Botanical Gardens in Kew, London. And it has improved its facilities. The leader of the institution’s cocoa project, Professor Paul Hadley, says, “One of the main issues concerning cocoa improvement is the supply of reliably clean, healthy, interesting cocoa material.”

　　The cocoa centre has a collection of 400 plant varieties and their greenhouse uses a lot of energy to keep them in tropical conditions. After up to two years in quarantine, clean and safe seeds are sent to some 20 countries, including several in West Africa. That’s where 75%of the cocoa used for chocolate worldwide comes from. The crop is extremely important for the local economy: it employs about two million people.

　　Professor Hadley says he works with a small team of skilled technicians who look after the collection. And more of us seem to count on them now.

　　The scientist says, “There is some concern within the industry that demand is increasing constantly, particularly in countries like China, where the standard of living is increasing and people are getting a taste for different chocolates.”

　　29. What is the text mainly about?

　　A. Safeguarding cocoa seeds.

　　B. Planting cocoa worldwide.

　　C. Keeping cocoa in greenhouse.

　　D. Finding the new market for cocoa.

　　30. The institution’s cocoa project is to_______.

　　A. have cocoa skin removed

　　B. offer more jobs to people

　　C. ensure the quality of cocoa

　　D. supply cocoa for two million people

　　31. What does the last paragraph tell us?

　　A. The taste of chocolates is changing.

　　B. Demand for cocoa is increasing fast.

　　C. People are concerned about cocoa varieties.

　　D. Chinese have a long history of eating chocolates.

　　32. What’s the purpose of the text?

　　A. To educate. B. To advertise.

　　C. To warn. D. To inform.

　　For decades, the San Francisco Bay area has been the heart of the computer technology industry. Many of the biggest technology companies have their headquarters in the area called Silicon Valley. But the area has not always been associated with charity(慈善).

　　Now, a new generation of entrepreneurs(企業(yè)家)appears to be changing Silicon Valley. One example is Marc Benioff, a donor(捐贈者), who has called on wealthy donors to give more to their communities. He also is the founder of Salesforce. com, a computer services company in San Francisco who has helped build a children’s hospital and given millions of dollars to non-profit organizations in the city.

　　Money from the technology industry has also started to change the face of charity. Benjamin Soskis writes about the history and ideas behind charity in America. His articles have appeared in The Atlantic magazine and a number of major publications. He says, traditionally, donors have given after they spent much of their lives building up wealth. Usually donors are in their 70s. But an increasing number of people appearing on the list of top donors are younger than 40 years of age. Benjamin Soskis says that is something new. “There’s a whole new model that’s appearing in which people give and accumulate at the same time.”

　　Some of the young donors on this year's top 50 list have started to change in the way people see charity. That is especially the case in the San Francisco area, where giving money and making money appear to be coming together. “I think it's fair to say that charity is now a part of the Silicon Valley identity.”

　　33. What is TRUE of Marc Benioff?

　　A. He joined a non-profit organization.

　　B. He advised donors to build hospitals.

　　C. He made San Francisco a city of charity.

　　D. He set up the company of Salesforce. com.

　　34. What is special about the donors of Silicon Valley?

　　A. They prefer to give rather than make money.

　　B. They give after accumulating a lot of wealth.

　　C. They are much younger than the usual donors.

　　D. They donate more money to their communities.

　　35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

　　A. The age of charity

　　B. The changing faces of charity

　　C. In search of new faces

　　D. From computer base to charity centre

　　第二節(jié) (共5小題;每小題2分，滿分10分)

　　根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)，選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。

　　A strong memory depends on the health and vitality(活力) of your brain. They say that you can’t teach an old new tricks, but when it comes to the brain, scientists have discovered that this old saying simply isn’t true. 36

　　Give your brain a workout. Memory, like muscular strength, requires you to “use it or lose it”. The more you work out your brain, the better you’ll be able to process and remember information. 37

　　Don’t skip the physical exercise. While mental exercise is important for brain health, that doesn’t mean you never need to break a sweat. Physical exercise helps your brain stay sharp. It increases oxygen to your brain and reduces the risk for disorders that lead to memory loss.

　　Get enough sleep. There is a big difference between the amount of sleep you can get by on and the amount you need to function at your best. 38

　　Keep stress in check. Stress is one of the brain’s worst enemies. Over time, stress destroys brain cells. Studies have also linked stress to memory loss.

　　Have a laugh. 39 That holds true for the brain and the memory, as well as the body. Unlike emotional responses, which are limited to specific areas of the brain, laughter engages multiple regions across the whole brain.

　　__40__ Just as the body needs fuel, so does the brain. You probably already know that a diet based on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, “healthy” fats and lean protein will provide lots of health benefits, but such a diet can also improve memory. For brain health, though, it’s not just what you eat—it’s also what you don’t eat.

　　A. Eat a brain-boosting diet.

　　B. Play games with memory.

　　C. Laughter is the best medicine.

　　D. But oversleeping is not good for your brain.

　　E. Even skipping a few hours makes a difference!

　　F. You have to shake things up from time to time!

　　G. The human brain has an astonishing ability to adapt and change.

　　You understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls are made of glass. If you drop one of them, it will be scuffed(磨損), damaged or even broken into 62 (piece). They will never be the same. You must understand the balance in your life. How
