Well, it all starts with the legend of Stingy Jack, which dates back to the 17th century． According to the legend, a drunken man known as Stingy Jack asked the devil （魔鬼） to have a drink, an offer that was accepted．After the two knocked back a few, the bill came, but neither wanted to pick up the tab．Jack suggested the devil turn into a coin, to which the devil agreed. Jack pocketed the coin instead beside a cross, trapping the devil in his pocket．He only agreed to free the devil under the condition that Jack wouldn't be bothered for a year． One year Later, Jack again tricked the devil into climbing an apple tree for a piece of fruit， trapping the devil in its branches by carving a cross in the tree trunk．Jack only let the devil come down if the devil gave its word that it wouldn't take Jack to hell． When Jack finally died, he was unwelcome in heaven, but he was also refused a place in hell．Instead, ‎ the devil gave him a turnip（萝卜）-the pumpkin is native to North America -with a piece of burning coal inside to light the way as Jack wandered in darkness． In order to discourage the wandering spirit of Stingy Jack from visiting their homes， the Irish carved lanterns to scare him off．When scores of Irish came to the United States at the beginning of the 19th century, they brought with them the tradition of carving pumpkins． Pumpkin carving has changed from a simple holiday tradition to a competitive art form, as every year increasingly more complex designs came out around Halloween．‎ 1. What does the underlined phrase "pick up the tab" in the second paragraph mean？ ______ ‎ A. Pay the bill． B. Have a talk． C. Eat something． D. Take another drink．‎ 2. What did the devil do in order to get down from the apple tree？ ______ ‎ A. It changed itself into a coin． B. It jumped into Jack's pocket． C. It promised not to take Jack to hell． D.

What does the passage mainly talk about？ ______ ‎ A. The origin of Halloween． B. The legend of Stingy Jack． C. The tradition of playing with food． D. The origin of Halloween pumpkin carving．‎ C Organic food, grown without artificial chemicals, is increasingly popular nowadays． Consumers have been willing to pay up to twice as much for goods with organic labels （标签）．However, if you think paying a little more for organic food gets you a more nutritious and safer product, then you'd better save your money．A study led by researchers at Stanford University says that organic products ‎ aren't necessarily more nutritious, and they're no less likely to suffer from disease-causing bacteria, either． For their new study, Smith-Spangler and her colleagues conducted a review of two categories（种类）of research, including 17 studies that compared health outcomes between consumers of organic against traditional food products, and 223 studies that analyzed the nutritional content of the foods, including key vitamins, minerals and fats． While the researchers found little difference in nutritional content, they did find that organic fruit and vegetables were 20% less likely to have chemicals remaining on the surfaces．Neither organic nor traditional foods showed levels of chemicals high enough to go beyond food safety standards．And both organic and traditional meats, such as chicken and pork, were equally likely to be harmed by bacteria at very low rates．The researchers did find that organic milk and chicken contained higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids, a healthy fat also found in fish that can reduce the risk of heart disease．However, these nutritional differences were too small, and the researchers were unwilling to make much of them until further studies confirm the trends． Organic food is produced with fewer chemicals and more natural-growing practices, but that doesn't always translate into a more nutritious or healthier product. The U． S． Department of Agriculture （USDA） states that "whether you buy organic or not, finding the freshest foods available may have the biggest effect on taste．" Fresh food is at least as good as anything marketed as organic．‎ 1. What does the underlined sentence in the first paragraph mean？ ______ ‎ A. Organic food helps you save money． B. Organic food contains much more nutrients． C. Organic food is worth the high price． D. Organic food is not always nutritious．‎ 2. Smith-Spangler and her colleagues found that ______ ．‎ A. organic food could reduce the risk of heart disease B. traditional food was grown with more natural methods C. both organic and traditional food they examined were safe D. there was not a presence of any forms of bacteria in organic food ‎10. Which of the following is relatively healthier according to the passage?‎ A. Organic chicken and pork B. Organic milk and chicken ‎ ‎ C. Traditional chicken and pork D. Traditional fruit and vegetables ‎11. What is the author's attitude toward organic food？ ______ ‎ A. Doubtful B. Unconcerned C. Positive D. Supportive D ‎ Fifteen years ago，I took a summer vacation in Lecce in southern Italy．After climbing up a hill for a panoramic（全景的） view of the blue sea, white buildings and green olive trees, I paused to catch my breath and then positioned myself to take the best photo of this panorama． Unfortunately, just as I took out my camera, a woman approached from behind, and planted herself right in front of my view．Like me, this woman was here to stop, sigh and appreciate the view． Patient as I was, after about 15 minutes, my camera scanning the sun and reviewing the shot I would eventually take, I grew frustrated．Was it too much to ask her to move so I could take just one picture of the landscape? Sure, I could have asked her，but something prevented me from doing so．She seemed so content in her observation．I didn't want to mess with that． Another 15minutes passed and I grew bored．The woman was still there．I decided to take the photo anyway．And now when I look at it, I think her presence in the photo is what makes the image interesting．The landscape, beautiful on its own, somehow comes to life and breathes because this woman is engaging with it． This photo，with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman who "ruined" it, now hangs on a wall in my bedroom．What would she think if she knew that her figure is captured（捕捉） and frozen on some stranger's bedroom wall? A bedroom, after all, is a very private space, in which some woman I don't even know has been immortalized（使…永存）．In some ways, she lives in my house． Perhaps we all live in each others' space．Perhaps this is what photos are for：to remind us that we all appreciate beauty, that we all share a common desire for pleasure, for connection, for something that is greater than us． That photo is a reminder, a captured moment, an unspoken conversation between two women, separated only by a thin square of glass．‎ ‎12. What happened when the author was about to take a photo？ ______ ‎ A. Her camera stopped working．‎ ‎ B. A woman blocked her view． C. Someone asked her to leave D. A friend approached from behind．‎ ‎13. According to the author，the woman was probably ______ ．‎ A. enjoying herself B. losing her patience C. waiting for the sunset D. thinking about her past ‎14. In the author's opinion，what makes the photo so alive？ ______ ‎ A. The rich color of the landscape． B. The perfect positioning of the camera． C. The woman's existence in the photo． D. The soft sunlight that summer day．‎ ‎15. The photo on the bedroom wall enables the author to better understand ______ ．‎ A. the need to be close to nature B. the importance of private space C. the joy of the vacation in Italy D. the shared passion for beauty 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Improve your memory Some people often complain about their poor memory.
