A. mother B. clerk C. official D. manager A Beginning in October, more than 13,000 McDonald's restaurants in America will use a new variety of cooking oil. McDonald's aims to make its French fries and other fried foods healthier. The change will not affect the taste or the number of calories in the food. But by changing the cooking oil, McDonald's says, it hopes to cut by nearly half the amount of trans fatty acids in French flies and reduce the amount of saturated fats raise cholesterol levels and increase the risk of heart disease. McDonald's new step is important because McDonald's is an industry leader and other fast-food chains and food processors may follow the lead. For McDonald's, the action comes at a time when Americans are becoming more and more concerned about obesity and are increasing pressure on food companies to offer healthy and nutritious foods to consumers. After three years of study, McDonald's officials say they are switching oil that is lower in saturated fats and trans fatty acids. McDonald's says the change will not cause higher costs for consumers. Though there is some change, scientists say that the amount of trans fat in foods at McDonald's and at other fast-food companies is still important. 61. More than 13,000 McDonald's restaurants in America will use a new kind of cooking oil to . A. lower the costs of the products B. make its food taste better than ever before C. cure the heart disease D. do good to the health of consumers 62. The underlined word "switching" here has the same meaning as “ . A. turning on B. turning off C. changing D. studying 63. The main idea of the passage is . A．McDonald's is a pioneer in food products B．McDonald's is enlarging its restaurants in the world C．Fried foods can't keep up with the development of modem society D．McDonald's is to use new cooking oil 64.When a new kind of cooking oil is used in McDonald's, . A. the price of McDonald's foods will be a lot higher B. consumers will find the taste of McDonald's foods different C. many other food companies will do what McDonald's does D. obesity will disappear in American society sooner or later 65. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. If a person's cholesterol is high, it won't affect his health. B. Heart disease is connected with the contents of cholesterol. C. The Americans pay no attention to the action of McDonald's. D. Most of American foods are lower in trans fatty acids B Let us say there is something you don't know how to do. In the past, you were determined to learn, you might have called a friend or relative, taken a night class or walked down to the local library for a research term. But now a host of websites are springing up to provide, free practical advice on these subjects and actually anything else you can think of. In one sense, these "how-to" sites represent a part of the growing world of online learning. This tradition found one of its earliest forms in the FAQs--or Frequently Asked Questions files-- that began an Usenet, the Internet's global discussion group. These FAQs, many of which still circulate (go round continuously), took a specific -- and explained it to complete novices. But "how-to" sites takes the FAQs idea in a somewhat different direction by addressing subjects that aren't necessarily related to discussion forums. These sites take the style of a written tutorial (www.Learn2. com) It offers nearly 1000 free tutorials and adds new ones frequently for a job interview. At chow. corn (www. ehow. com) you can learn how to train for your first marathon, how to buy a vacation home, or how to make a movie in eight steps. 66. The purpose of writing the passage is to . A. introduce new websites to people. B. teach how to take new courses by Internet. C. present new means to learn something you want to know. D. help you to solve any difficulty you meet with. 67. "How-to" sites are set up to . A. explain FAQs to the public B. help people to learn what they want to C. tell the difference from discussion forums D. complete the growing world of online learning 68. The underlined word "novices" in the passage probably means . A. experts who know a lot B. hosts of "how-to" sites C. people without knowledge D. beginners of "how-to" sites 69. It can be inferred from the passage that . A. "how-to" sites are specially designed for the disabled B. people can teach themselves at home by visiting "how-to" sites C. it is pleasant to listen to the advice on "how-to" sites D. you can just click your mouse at home to question anything 70. According to the text, if you want to buy a tent for camping you may . A. visit www. chow. com B. visit C. visit the discussion forums D. visit the FAQs C The climate of any place is the kind of weather it usually has over a long period of time. The houses we live in, the clothes we wear, even the foods we eat depend on the climate of the place where we live. Climate is a pattern that is not nearly as simple as we think, it is affected by many factors . The distance to the North or South Pole or to the equator really matters a lot. If you live near either of the poles, you live in a cold climate, for the place where you live does not get as much or as direct sunshine as a place farther away from the poles. In places close to the equator , the climate is very hot, for they are the parts where the sun shines almost straight down. The amount of rain or snow falls makes a great difference to the climate. In hot, dry deserts, little rain falls, but in a hot rain forest, the amount of rainfalls is far larger than that in a desert, for there is a heavy rain almost every day, even several times per day. Though a rain forest and a desert may be the same distance from the equator, their climates are rather different from each other. How much rain or snow falls arc considered by some to be determined by the winds, the surrounding mountains and the currents in nearby seas and so on. In short, it is a very complex natural phenomenon . 71. This passage mainly talks about . A. weather B. different climate C. climate and its determining factors D. the difference between weather and climate 72. From this passage, we know climate and weather are and climate is . A. almost the same; the general term of weather B. quite different; the average weather conditions at a particular place over a period of time C. not the same; included by weather D. very much alike; bigger and weather is smaller 73. According to this passage, the most important factor that determines the cold climate in the Antarctica and the Arctic and the hot climate in equator is . A. how near a place is near to either pole or the equator B. the different place at which the sun shines C. that the equator is in the middle of the globe while the Antarctica and Arctic are at the ends of the poles D. their different geographical positions on the earth 74. The difference of the climates between a tropical desert and a tropical rain forest affected by . A. the amount of rainfalls B. the winds and the surrounding mountains C. the currents in nearby seas D. how much rain the two different places can get 75. From the context, we can guess that the word "complex" is and it . A. a noun; means a simple thing B. an adjective; means being easy to understand C. an adverb; has almost the same meaning of "rather" D. an adjective; means being difficult to understand or explain D E--mail systems at thousands of companies and government offices around the world were attacked by a virus called "Melissa" that disguises itself as an "important message" from a friend. In spite of a weekend of warnings, more than 50,000 computers at about 100 places around the world have been attacked by the virus, computer security experts said on Monday. The virus began to show up last Friday and spread rapidly on Monday by making computers fire off dozens of infected e---mails. Although the virus causes no serious damage to a computer, its effect were far reaching. To make matters worse, a similar virus called "Papa" was discovered on Monday. Papa is programmed to send out even more infected e---mails than Melissa. The Melissa virus comes in the form of an e--mail, usually containing the subject line "Important Message". It appears to be from a friend. The body of the e--mail message says, "Here is that document you asked for...don't show it to anyone else." Attached(附) to the message is a document file. Once the user opens that file, the virus digs into the user's address book and sends infected documents to the first 50 addresses. E--mails from the Papa virus include an attached spreadsheet file .When the user opens that file, the virus sends 60 infected e---mails. The reason why this is spreading so fast is that you are getting it from people you know. You should never open documents or attachments from people you don't know. People who get an unexpected e---mail with the "important message" subject line should delete it immediately and not open the message. 76.Thousands of computers were attacked by the Melissa virus . A. covered with an important message B. under cover of an urgent message C. under the clothes of an important e-mail D. with a beautiful coat 77. The Melissa virus made a computer . A. receive tens of bad e---mails B. fire at many sick e mail messages C. send out scores of infected messages D. burn with a fire because of many infected e--mails. 78. After the attack by the Melissa virus a computer . A. was slightly damaged B. became entirely out of order C. could not send out any e--mail any longer D. would have to be thrown away 79. If you opened an infected file by Melissa virus, the virus would . A. damage the user's address book at once B. soon spread through the user's list of address C. let the first 50 addresses go out of the computer D. change the user's address book in the computer 80. gave one an attachment called spreadsheet file. A. The Melissa virus B. The e--mails infected by the Melissa virus C. The computer attacked by the virus D. The e--mails infected by Papa virus 【查看更多】
