New fast food debuts in U.S. fairs—fired Coke
A new fast food is making its debut(首次演出) at U.S. fairs this fall----fried Coke. Abel Gonzales, 36, a computer analyst from Dallas, tried about 15 different varieties before coming up with his perfect recipe----a batter mix made with Coca-Cola syrup, a drizzle of strawberry syrup, and some strawberries.
Balls of the batter are then deep-fried, ending up like ping-pang ball sized doughnuts（面團）which are then served in a cup, topped with Coca-Cola syrup, whipped cream, cinnamon(桂皮)sugar and a cherry on the top.
“It tastes great,” said Sue Gooding, a spokeswoman for the State Fair of Texas where Gonzales’ fried Coke made its debut this fall. “It was a huge success.”
Gonzales ran two stands at the State Fair of Texas and sold up to 35,000 fried Cokes over 24 days for 4.50 dollars each –and won a prize for coming up with “most creative” new fair food.
Ray Crockett, a spokesman for Coca-Cola Co., said: “we’re constantly amazed at the creative ways folks find to enjoy their Coke and make it part of celebrations like fairs and festivals. This is one is definitely different!”
16. The passage is likely to .
A. be an advertisement B. appear in a newspaper
C. make a comment on a new food D. give us some advice
17. The new fast food probably is the computer analyst’s ____________.
A. 15th attempt B. disliked food
C. most creative food D. excellent recipe
18. We are sure that ____________.
A. this new kind fast food will be popular in the future
B. this new food has been sold 157500 dollars
C. the food was bought by Coca-Cola Co.
D. this is a new kind of Coke
19. According to Ray Crockett, ___________.
A. fried Coke is a completely different form of Coca-Cola.
B. fried Coke is a very creative use of Coca-Cola.
C. folks enjoy this new kind of food very much.
D. he is amazed at the U.S. fairs this fall.
16---19 BDAB
本文向人們介紹一種新食品——美國新小吃--炒可樂。
16. B 推理判斷題。本文只是向人們介紹一種新食品,故極有可能會出現在報紙上.如果是廣告文中就不會引用那么多的評論。
17. D 推理判斷題。從tried about 15 different varieties before coming up with his perfect recipe可知,這種新食品應是第16種嘗試.他發明的是他最喜愛的故B錯.最具創意的食品是別人說的,他本人未必認可.而excellent與perfect是近義詞.
18. A 細節理解題。在24天的展銷中就賣了157500 dollars故B項不正確。C，D項與文章不符。
19. B 細節理解題。炸可樂是吃的一種形式，而不是另一種可樂，故A項不正確。民眾找到一些享受可樂的具有創造性的方式，故C錯。D項針對的是這種吃可樂的方式而非這次展銷。要求考生就題論題而不能憑主觀論斷。否則就有可能誤選答案C。

閱讀下列應用文及相關信息，并按照要求匹配信息。請在答題卡上將對應題號的相應選項字母涂黑。若選擇E，請涂AB；若選擇F，請涂CD。
首先請閱讀下列GPS的信息：
A．TomTom One 125-GPS Receiver
The TomTom One 125 isn’t the newest or flashiest portable navigation device on the market, but that’s OK. Not everyone needs the latest or greatest. What the One 125 offers is a solid, entry-level GPS for first time buyers or for those looking for the most basic navigation function.
Price: $98.00---$179.99
B. Garmin Nuvi 880
As we’ve come to expect from the Nuvi line, the Garmin Nuvi 880 offers an impressive feature list and solid performance, but it’s the accurate speech recognition that really pushes the Nuvi 880 over the gdge and makes it one of the best GPS we’ve tested to date.
Price :$599.95
C. NA1/4vi 200-270
Tis affordable entry-level personal travel assistant comes with preloaded maps for the continental U. S. Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. For even more mapping options, NA1/vi 250 features preloaded maps for all of North America, while the transatiantic NA1/4vi 270 includes preloaded maps for both continents. Like all nuvi 200-series members, the 200 features an easy-to-use colorful touchscreen and ultra-slim design---perfect for everyday navigation.
Price: $499.00
D. Magellan Maestro 4370
Despite a couple of minor performance issues, the Magellan Maestro 4370 offers convenience through its new OneTouch interface, providing you with quick one-click access to your preferred destinations. The GPS also delivers with features and accurate directions.
Price: $480.00
E. Navigon 7200T
The Navigon 7200T offers an attractive design and plenty of features, including voice address entry, 3D landmark renderings, text‐to‐speech functionality, and integrated Bluetooth．The user interface and maps still aren’t as clean as a Garmin or a TomTom, but performance has improved and address entry by voice can be quite accurate with some training．
Price: $ 149．99—$ 339．95
F．Mio C520 Navigation Receiver
The sleek Mio C520 is a good‐value GPS devise, packing in advanced navigation features, a large screen, and other extras for an affordable price．It is even sleek enough that we’d use it as a video player．Our only complaint is that we think you can get a slightly better experience and smoother performance from competing systems．
Price: $ 349．99
以下是車主的購買意向。請把車主與其想購買的 GPS匹配起來。
Fighting in the commercial circle and getting a great success, Malcolm makes a fortune and buys a luxury car, a land‐based rocket ship which we’d seen only in our dreams, to develop an even brighter future．With the car equipped with computers and video screens, he still wants a super audio‐GPS with high accuracy．
Russel is a farmer in a mountainous area who grows hundreds of acres of crops．To transport his goods town timely, he buys a Maserati which runs very fast and first of all, meets the natural conditions．Though the car is of style quality and high technology, he prefers his Maserati to be operated more easily–one click is enough for GPS, creating most advanced road cars in the world．
Desmond is a young athlete．Having won a champion in an important international game, he buys a car equipped with the first four‐cam 32‐valve V8 engine offered in a sport‐utility vehicle．Of course, the car is extremely fast and is especially fit for him, but he wants a GPS that brings him not only convenience but also amusement．
Carls has just been admitted to a famous university hundreds of kilometers away from her hometown and has bought a car provided by an advanced‐design Triton engine, with a perfect cooling system, and plenty of pulling power．As a new driver, the young girl student certainly needs a GPS which costs not too much．
Warren is a businessman traveling to different parts of America in any weather situation．He has a new Lincoln Aviator, 302‐hp best‐in‐class V8, 3rd‐row seating, and available climate controlled front seats． He needs a satisfactory GPS to make his business better．

閱讀下列應用文及相關信息，并按照要求匹配信息。
首先，請閱讀以下專家的解答：
A.First, let' s talk about your boyfriend.If he' s laughing at you about it and won' t stop (even after you've talked to him about the fact that it hurts and annoys you) then you might need to stop being friends with him. If he really doesn't care about how he is hurting you, then he's not good enough to be your boyfriend. Second, if that girl is bothering you and threatening to beat you up you really need to turn to an adult for help. If you can't feel safe at school, you can't concentrate and will get poor grades, which will affect your future.
B.It' s true that your first year in high school is important. It's a fresh start with your grades and it affects the rest of your high school years, but if you just stay calm, optimistic, and focused, you'll do fine. There's really no need to worry about grades as long as you work hard. Try to stay happy and confident. I think a good way to get an extra confidence boost is to wear your favorite clothes.
C.You' re already on the right track by knowing what you want to change about yourself and why you feel the way you do. Understanding yourself is a big step! One good thing to do is to hang out with people a lot like you. If you have more in common with someone, then it is much easier to talk to them. Usually when you feel comfortable around a group of people, your confidence increases a lot.
D.What I've discovered from my years of school changing is that confidence is the key to a good first day. Make sure you're not too threatening to your new classmates in any way, and it usually helps to be twice as nice as usual. Just smile and try to have fun. Also, about the clothes, wear something cute with bright colors. Then you'll look good, but you won' t have too many eyes on you all at once. Good luck and have fun!
E.Usually it helps your grades if your family life is less of a challenge. If you get better grades and quit running up high phone bills, you would get along better with your parents. Getting along with your parents is pretty important.They've been through a lot and are usually good people to go to for help. So try your best to get along with your family.
F.If you don't feel pretty, remember that everyone looks different. There are different kinds of "pretty”, believe it or not. Some people have great smiles, some have great hair, and some have nice eyes. Pay more attention to the parts of you that you like and pay less attention to what you don't like.

【小題1】I am in eighth grade and am about to start high school.I am super nervous about going to high school and afraid that I won' t fit in and get good grades. It is all I think about nowadays and it is ruining my life. What should I do? Please help me!
【小題2】I had a fight with a girl at school and ended up almost getting forced to leave school. Everybody makes fun of me and now my boyfriend is joining in with them. I have told him that it hurts my feelings, but he says that it is just a joke and that he may do it again. I feel scared to go to school, because I knocked her down at school and she'll get all her friends to beat me up the next time she sees me. I run as fast as I can to attend classes. Please help me!
【小題3】My dad and mom always get me mad. I have bad grades.My cell phone's bill is quite high. I think it' s because of my anger at my dad and mom. What should I do to get along well with my family?
【小題4】My family will move to a new city and I will have to start a new school. I'm really nervous about being a new kid. I don' t know what kids wear in a completely new school, how they act, or anything else. I don't want to make a bad impression on my first day. Oh, I will be in 10th grade and I've never changed schools before.
【小題5】When I was eight my parents divorced(離婚).I used to be willing to do something and talk to someone I didn't know without being nervous. After the divorce I switched(轉變) to many different schools and got really shy.My problem is that I'm shy around boys. I have to get to know them a lot to open up more and I think I might have ruined it a couple of times. I want my old self back. How do I open up even more without feeling scared?

The Atlantic Ocean is one of the oceans that separate the Old World from the New. For centuries it kept the Americans from being discovered by the people of Europe.
It is more than 4,000 miles (6,400 km) wide where Columbus crossed it. Even at its narrowest it is about 2,000 miles (3,200 km) wide. 1. .
Two things make the Atlantic Ocean rather unusual. For so large an ocean it has very few islands. 2. .
One of the longest mountain ranges of the world rises from the floor of the Atlantic. 3. . The tops of a few of the mountains reach up above the sea and make islands. The Azores are the tops of peaks in the mid-Atlantic mountain range.
Ocean currents are sometimes called “rivers in the sea”. One of these “rivers” in the Atlantic is called the Gulf Stream. It is a current（流） of warm water. Another is the Labrador Current --- cold water coming down from the Arctic. 4. .
Today the Atlantic is a great highway. It is not, however, always a smooth and safe one. Storms sweep across it and pile up great waves. Icebergs float down from the far north across the paths of ships.
5. . Columbus sailed for more than two months to cross it. A fast modern steamship can make the trip in less than four days. Airplanes fly from New York to London in only eight hours and from South America to Africa in four!
A We now have such fast ways of traveling that this big ocean seems to have grown smaller
B This narrowest place is between the bulge（鼓起） of South America and the bulge of Africa
C Also, it is the world’s saltiest ocean
D This big Atlantic Ocean is not easy and sometimes dangerous to cross
E This mountain range runs north and south down the middle of the ocean
F Ocean currents affect the climates of the land near which they flow
G The Atlantic furnishes much food for the people on its shores
