WHEN CHOCOLATE BECOMES A WORK OF ART!
Chocolate is delicious, we all know that. But it isn’t just for eating, as these chocolate works of art clearly
show.
Chocolate Mailbox
In 2011, chocolate company Godiva made a chocolate mailbox with white truffle hearts to celebrate Valentine’s
Day. The mailbox was on display at its shop on Fifth Avenue in New York City. Customers could post their love
letters there, and the company would stamp and mail them for free during the three weeks leading up to Valentine’s
Day.Chocolate Couch
In 2009, chocolate company Galaxy used 250 kg of their own chocolate to make a chocolate couch. The couch
was a part of their “Irresistible Reads” campaign, which was designed to promote reading. It was put on display in
Victoria Embankment Gardens in London. Photos were taken of British TV actress Emilia Fox sitting on the couch
reading a book.
Chocolate Hotel Suite
In 2011, French chocolatier Patrick Roger worked with fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld. The room, at the La Reserve
hotel in Paris, had a chocolate carpet, chocolate bed and chocolate nightstand full of chocolate books. Sitting on the
bed was a chocolate man eating a Magnum ice cream.
Chocolate Tree
In 2012, Patrick Roger made a five-metre tree from five tons of chocolate. The sculpture, which was at Roger’s
shop in Paris, even had chocolate monkeys hanging from chocolate branches. Roger wanted to raise awareness of the
problems facing African wildlife.
21. How much chocolate was needed to make a Chocolate Couch according to the passage?
A. 600 kg. B. 250 kg. C. 5 tons. D. 12 meters.
22. Which of the following appeals to wildlife protectors most?

chocolate to make a chocolate couch.(2009年，巧克力公司Galaxy用250千克自己的巧克力制作了一张巧克力
沙发。)”可知，巧克力沙发需要250千克的巧克力。故选B。
【22题详解】
推理判断题。根据“Chocolate Tree”下面的“Roger wanted to raise awareness of the problems facing African
wildlife.(Roger希望提高人们对非洲野生动物面临的问题的认识。)”可知，Roger制作巧克力树是为了让人
们关注非洲野生动物面临的问题，这与动物保护有关，由此可推测，这最有可能吸引野生动物保护者。故选C。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Chocolate is delicious, we all know that. But it isn’t just for eating, as these chocolate
works of art clearly show.(巧克力很美味，我们都知道。但正如这些巧克力艺术品清楚地表明的那样，这不仅

Confessions of an annoying Mosquito
If you’re reading my confessions (自白), congratulations! You’ll have a safe and healthy summer.
We love when you work up a sweat. It’s really the carbon dioxide you breathe out that makes us beeline to
ward you, not the fragrance of your “sweet blood.”
Love beer? So do some of us. They can tell when you’ve been drinking because your skin chemistry changes,
and it attracts them
Pregnant? Yum. If you’re having a baby, you emit more carbon dioxide and your belly has a higher temperature,
drawing some of us right to you. Sorry, baby.
Hate getting bitten up? Blame the ladies. Males do not eat human blood: They get all their nutrition from
plants. After we have a blood meal, we can lay anywhere from 100 to 400 eggs
Smelly feet are simply delicious. Scientists have shown we find your toes ten times more inviting than
Limburger cheese.
If your home’s landscaping is well tended, we won’t like it as much. We like to hang out in thick, overgrown
vegetation. The darker and more damp, the better. And puddles (水沟) of smelly water is where we like to lay our
eggs.
Got those CO-emitting traps in your yard? Great! You may think you’re outsmarting us with these devices,
2
which emit carbon dioxide to lure (引诱) us into a trap. But they may attract more of us than they are able to trap,
increasing our presence in your yard.
When it comes to West Nile, end-of-summer bites may do more harm. It’s simple logic: We bite birds with
West Nile virus; then we bite humans and spread it. By summer’s end, we’ve had more chances to bite infected
birds.
21. What can we know from the confessions?A. Mosquitoes love smelly toes most.
B. All the mosquitoes suck drinking people.
C. The mosquito making the confessions is female.
D. Mosquito bites in early summer are more harmful.
22. Which of the following is least likely to attract “WE” according to the text?
A. A woman who is expecting. B. A yard with traps emitting oxygen.
C. A man who has just finished jogging. D. A house surrounded with smelly puddles.
23. What is the tone of the text?
A. Amusing. B. Serious. C. Sad. D. Proud.
【答案】21. C 22. B 23. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要通过一只令人讨厌的蚊子的风趣幽默的自白，列举了蚊子喜欢咬谁，喜
欢出没的地方等。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Hate getting bitten up? Blame the ladies. Males do not eat human blood: They get all
their nutrition from plants. After we have a blood meal, we can lay anywhere from 100 to 400 eggs. (讨厌被咬？
怪雌性们。雄性不吃人的血：它们所有的营养都来自植物。我们吃了一餐血后，可以在任何地方产 100到
400个卵)”可知，句中“我们”指代的是雌性的蚊子，即进行自白的蚊子是雌性的。故选C。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“We love when you work up a sweat. It’s really the carbon dioxide you breathe out that
makes us beeline to ward you, not the fragrance of your “sweet blood.” (我们喜欢你汗流浃背的时候。真正让我
们直奔你的是你呼出的二氧化碳，而不是你“甜美血液”的香味。)”、第四段“Pregnant? Yum. If you’re
having a baby, you emit more carbon dioxide and your belly has a higher temperature, drawing some of us right to
you. (怀孕了？呣。如果你要生孩子，你会排放更多的二氧化碳，你的肚子温度也会更高，这会吸引我们中
的一些。)”、第七段“We like to hang out in thick, overgrown vegetation. The darker and more damp, the better.
And puddles (水沟) of smelly water is where we like to lay our eggs. (我们喜欢在茂密、杂草丛生的植被中闲逛。
越黑越潮湿越好。臭水坑是我们喜欢产卵的地方。)”以及倒数第二段“Got those CO2-emitting traps in your
yard? Great! (你院子里有二氧化碳排放装置吗？太棒了！)”可知，一个怀孕的女人，一个刚慢跑完的男人
和一所被臭气熏天的水坑包围的房子都更可能吸引“我们”，但是一个有散发氧气装置的院子并不会吸引
蚊子。故选B。
【23题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段“If you’re reading my confessions (自白), congratulations! You’ll have a safe and
healthy summer. (如果你在读我的供词，祝贺你！你将度过一个安全健康的夏天。)”以及文章内容可知，本
文以蚊子的口吻进行自白，风趣幽默，让人忍俊不禁，所以文章的语气是有趣的。故选A。

SO THAT’S WHY WE CALL THAT THAT
In 1997, two smarty-pants, needing a name for their new data-index website, came up with “googol”, which is
the number one followed by a hundred zeroes. Perfect! But as they typed Googol into a domain-name search engine,
they committed a critical mistake. And the mistake stuck. Don’t believe us? Google it. Meanwhile, here are the stories
behind other brand names.
Triscuit ► ELECTRICITY BISCUITS
Triscuit, a snack cracker, is short for “electricity biscuit”, because the first ones were proudly produced with
hydro-electric power.
Häagen-Dazs ► NOTHING
Häagen-Dazs is short for... absolutely nothing. Reuben Mattus, who moved to Brooklyn from Poland, created
the ice cream company in 1959. He wanted to give his company a Danish-sounding name in honour of Denmark’s
reputation during the World War Ⅱ and settled on this nonsense phrase.
Nike ► VICTORYNike was named for the Greek goddess of victory. Legend has it that the shoe company’s famous “swoosh” logo
represents the fleet-footed goddess’s wings.
Adidas ► ADI DASSLER
Adidas is an abbreviation of “Adi Dassler”, one of two Dassler brothers from Germany who founded competitive
shoe empires after the World War Ⅱ (Adi’s brother Rudi founded Puma).
Lego ► PLAY WELL
Lego, a children’s toy that consists of small colored bricks that fit together, is a contraction of the Danish
phrase leg godt, meaning “play well”.
21. Why does the author mention the story of Google in Paragraph 1?
A. To arouse curiosity of the brand names. B. To classify the following brands.
C. To introduce a wonderful search engine. D. To help search for information.
22. Which brand name has the story related to the myth?
A. Nike. B. Adidas. C. Triscuit. D. Häagen-Dazs.
23. What can we learn from the text?
A. Adidas was founded during the World War Ⅱ.
B. The founders of Adidas and Nike were brothers.
C. The stories behind Lego and Häagen-Dazs relate to Danish.
D. The first Triscuit biscuits were proudly made with solar power.
【答案】21. A 22. A 23. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了五个品牌名称背后的故事。
【21题详解】
推理判断题。第一段中讲述了Google背后的故事：两个聪明的创始人想给新的数据索引网站取一个名字，
他们就想出了“googol”这个词，即“古戈尔”，10的100次幂，代表互联网上的海量资源，但是当他们
在域名搜索引擎上搜索该名字是否已经被注册时错将“googol”打成了google，于是就有了Google。并在
最后一句“Meanwhile, here are the stories behind other brand names.(同时，以下是其他品牌背后的故事。)”引
出接下来要讲述的其他品牌背后的故事。由此可推知，开头用这个故事是为了激发读者对商标取名故事的
好奇心。故选A。
【22题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Nike was named for the Greek goddess of victory.(耐克是以希腊的胜利女神命
名的。)”可知，Nike是根据希腊胜利女神而命名的，与神话有关。故选A。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“give his company a Danish-sounding name”和第六段“is a contraction of the
Danish phrase leg godt, meaning ‘play well’”可知，乐高和哈根达斯都与丹麦语有关。故选C。

Hot List: The Best New Restaurants in the World
Place des Fetes—New York City
This famous wine bar provides a spot with a rare sweet and warm atmosphere. For date night, go to the bar with
views of the open kitchen, or fill up the large table in the back with a group and taste the entire 20-item menu. Either
way, do not miss the famous mushroom soup.
Le Doyenné—Saint-Vrain, France
Australian chefs James Henry and Shaun Kelly transformed the former stables (马厩) of a 19th-century privateestate into a working farm, restaurant, and guesthouse driven by the principles of regenerative agriculture. More than
one hundred varieties of fruits, vegetables, and herbs make their way into Henry’s cooking after being carefully
nurtured (培育) by Kelly.
Mi Compa Chava—Mexico City
Seafood is a hangover cure in Mexico, and almost everyone eating here is devoted to fixing last night’s damage
from drunkenness and getting a head start on creating today’s. On the sidewalk, crowds of locals and tourists alike
line up for fisherman Salvador Orozco’s creative takes on Sinaloa and Baja seafood. Anything from the raw half of
the menu is a sure bet, though cooked dishes like fish can help fill out a meal.
Vilas—Bangkok
Can a dish inspired by a Spanish recipe using Japanese ingredients (原料)still be considered Thai? For Chef
Prin Polsuk, one of Bangkok’s most famous Thai chefs, it most certainly can. At his latest restaurant, a small dining
room at the base of Bangkok’s landmark King Power Mahanakhon Tower, he draws inspiration from King
Chulalongkorn’s 1897 journey around Europe and the foreign ingredients and cooking techniques he added to the
royal cookbooks.

If you can brave cooler temperatures and sometimes rainy weather, you’ll likely be rewarded with fewer crowds
and lower travel rates in the following popular destinations.
Maui
Although March falls within Maui’s peak season, its excellent weather and conditions for water sports and
wildlife viewing make it a superb time to visit. Experienced surfers can head to popular surf spots like Ho’okipa
Beach and Kaanapali Beach to catch waves, while animal lovers can look for migrating whales during a whale
watching cruise (乘船游览). To save some coin, book your Maui hotel and airfare at least a few months in advance.
Whitehorse
Whitehorse is the capital of Canada’s Yukon region. You can visit the SS Klondike National Historic Site and
the MacBride Museum to learn about Whitehorse’s ties to the Klondike Gold Rush and the First Nations people who
settled here during the ice age. Then, travel outside of Whitehorse to check out some of the Yukon’s breathtaking
natural attractions, such as Kluane National Park and Reserve and see the northern lights in March.
Galapagos Islands
While you can spot wildlife in the Galápagos year-round, March is nesting season for animals like green sea
turtles and red-footed boobies. Keep an eye out near the water, too, as sea lions are known to hang on the beaches.
And though March falls within the wet season, there should still be ample warm, sunny days to enjoy the beach,
particularly towards the end of the month.
Moab
Located between two of Utah’s five main national parks, Moab is an outdoor adventure centre known for its
awe-inspiring red rock formations. Travellers can admire them during visits to Arches National Park and CanyonlandsNational Park, which is the largest national park in the state. Popular March activities include hiking, rock climbing,
