     The Book Hive
     Norwich
     As well as being a favourite of celebrities，this is a front-runner for the nation's prettiest bookshop，with an expansive glass shopfront and colourful art decorating the walls.It's home to thousands of hand-selected titles，with an especially impressive art-and-design collection.Owner Henry Layte says，"The Book Hive is like an old-fashioned bookshop，but it's also contemporary，stylish and fun!"Mr B's Reading Emporium Bath
     A huge part of the charm（魅力）of this place is Mr B himself-a former bank trader who gave it all up in 2006 to share his passion for the written word.His enthusiasm must be infectious because his staff are similarly cheerful，handwriting personal notes to the overflowing shelves."You can drop in anytime，"says one employee."And we pride ourselves on championing lesser-known tiles."
     Barter Books
     Northumberland
     Under the roof of the Victorian Station lie the free-standing bookshelves，homely carpets and open fires that make up Barter Books.In addition to the thousands of second-hand titles in this bookstore，there are more than 40 glass cases housing rare books.Visitors can also see the Writers Mural-life-size literary figures painted high up on the walls.See if you can spot Charlotte Bronte and Charles Dickens.
     Much More Books
     Shropshire
     Situated in the market town Much Wen lock，Much More Books is the epitome（缩影）of an antiquarian shop.Most surprisingly，historic buildings，an inclusive and well-thumbed collection，and even a book-finder service combine to make you feel as if you've stepped back a few centuries.Every type is covered，with lots of local-interest titles thrown in.You can even add to your music collection with their selection of vinyls and CDs.

• 2．Michael Gonsalves，a chef of Golden Oak at Disney World，has a cuisine concept rooted in fresh，locally-sourced ingredients that originated from childhood harvesting produce from their family garden with his mom to eventually leading kitchens at Walt Disney World Resorts to employ a sustainable model.
     "Truly the whole process starts with menu planning，"he said.Creating one dish leads into the creation of many more through the end-to-end use of products.As chefs，they are always searching for the best ingredients.It is then their focus to ensure they appreciate and respect all that go into each and every one of them.For example，they source chicken that is naturally grown and fed on a natural plant forward diet，no hormones（激素）or additives-that's used in many ways throughout menus from a simple grilled chicken breast to bone soup.Nothing goes to waste.
     When they do have waste，even if minimal，they shift it from landfills to transform it into compost（堆肥）that's then used across the Walt Disney World property.They also support Second Harvest，a local community food bank where healthy produce，prepared，but not served，meals eatable for human consumption are donated.Disney also works with pig farmers when they can't distribute foods past the point of safety for human consumption.Besides，wildlife reservations love to get the meat because tigers and wild cats can still eat that.
     Their operations are"on a path to a sustainable zero waste kitchen of tomorrow"where chefs learn the full-life cycle of plants from seed to plate and gain a better understanding and appreciation for the product and their craft.
     Golden Oak at Disney has millions of bees that produce up to 300 pounds of honey per year，plus those bees help with cross pollination（授粉）of their gardens on a daily basis.They advocate a culture that helps develop not only the quality of food，but an appreciation for nature.
  
  （1）Where did Michael Gonsalves' idea about cuisine come from？

  
  A．His mom's suggestions.
  B．His dream of becoming a chef.
  C．His interest in delicious food.
  D．His labor experience as a child.
  （2）How are the ingredients dealt with in Golden Oak？

  
  A．They are grilled to eat.
  B．They are used to the fullest.
  C．They are divided into groups.
  D．They are selected by quality.
  （3）What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3？

  
  A．Give examples about zero waste.
  B．Introduce the unique habit of wildlife.
  C．Stress the importance of natural food.
  D．Explain the operation mode of the food bank.
  （4）Which of the following is a suitable title for the text？

  
  A．Disney World：New Cuisine Road
  B．Michael Gonsalves：Creative Chef
  C．Michael Gonsalves：Advocate of Food Diversity
  D．Disney World：Pioncer in Environmental Protection

• 3．As winter arrives，the problem of fogged-up car windscreens becomes more pressing for drivers.Anti-misting sprays（喷雾剂）are one way to deal with such fogging.But they need frequent reapplication.Another approach is to fix within the thing to be demisted a set of electrically powered heating wires.But because of the visual distraction（分心）created，that doesn't work for a car's front windscreen.
     Iran Hachler and Dimos Poulikakos of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich have，however，come up with another way of warming something up to stop fog forming.Their new material is a coating ten nanometres（纳米）thick.It is flexible，easily made using existing processes，and can be applied as a coating to glass or plastic，or inset inside such materials.Its demisting properties are powered by sunlight.
     In effect，it is a gold sandwich.The"bread"of this sandwich is a pair of layers（层），top and bottom，of a chemical material，each three nanometres thick.The filling is a four-nanometre deep golden material.The whole structure lets visible light pass unlimited，while absorbing invisible lights and transforming them into heat.It is the filling that warms the glass.Gold acts as a medium in the heating process.The network will now absorb heat if left in the sunshine.The top and bottom layers boost that absorption.
     Glass coated with Mr Hachler's and Dr Poulikakos's invention is，they claim，four times more effective at preventing fog than an uncounted surface.It absorbs around 30% of solar radiation incident upon it-which，on a sunny day，increases the temperature of what it is applied to by around 8°C.On a cloudy day，that temperature rise is closer to 3-4°C.But in either case the enhancement is sufficient both to remove any fog that has formed and to prevent new fog forming.
     The next step，Mr Hachler says，is to find the product's best market.Even though gold is used，the cost of adding this extra one is low.For the two inventors，though，the idea might prove a gold mine.
  
  （1）What is the disadvantage of anti-misting sprays？

  
  A．They have no lasting effect.
  B．They damage the windscreens.
  C．They turn the drivers' attention away.
  D．They are constantly powered by electricity.
  （2）What is the function of the center layer？

  
  A．To save up heat.
  B．To protect the gold.
  C．To produce electricity.
  D．To heat the windscreens.
  （3）What can be inferred about the invention from paragraph 4？

  
  A．It is useless on cloudy days.
  B．It is unable to work at night.
  C．Coated glass absorbs the visible lights.
  D．Uncoated glass lowers the temperature by 8°C.
  （4）What does the author think of the new invention？

  
  A．It is very costly.
  B．It hits the market well.
  C．It is highly profitable.
  D．It needs further improvement.

• 9．阅读下面材料、根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
     When I arrived home from school.jye.ai was falling.A call came from the public：a bird of unknown species was being attacked by a group of noisy children in his front garden.He scared them off and grabbed their victim.I immediately called for my classmate Jack to the spot.
     We were standing in front of a stranger's house in an unfamiliar street，rescue box in hand.jye.ai head full of instructions to follow."The bird would be our first test as a volunteer wildlife rescuer!"Jack said excitedly.We had completed the two-day intensive training course the previous month and learned the basic skills of rescuing animals in various situations.
     But we were anxious，too.After all，it was the first lime for us to rescue a bird.Would I be able to transfer the bird neatly into my rescue box？Many worries flashed in my mind.Sensing my unease about the act ahead，Jack said，"These things are pretty easy to deal with!"
     I was wondering what kind of bird it was when a kind-looking man appeared and led us inside to see our very first patient.I lifted the edge of the shoe box very slightly to see an angry-looking bird standing to attention on very thin and long legs，together with a slice of banana and a small dish of water.He didn't know its true name but the folks called the creature Red Fan."It's eaten some banana，"said the man proudly.The poor soul seemed rather nervous，so I decided not to grab it by hand but just transfer the whole shoebox into my rescue box.
     Back home，we could only see some minor injuries in the left wing，but there was no blood on its feathers.Jack managed to treat the injuries with some iodophor（碘伏药水）.We assessed its condition to find out if it was appropriate to release the bird the next day.How could we help it spend the night peacefully？We hadn't seen this species of bird before，let alone its habits.
  注意：
  （1）续写词数要求应为150左右；
  （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
  

  "Why not do a search on the Internet？"suggested Jack. The next day，we were glad to see the bird was well enough.
