1、Questions are based on the following passage．
Energy independence．It has a nice ring to it, doesn't it? If you think so, you're not alone, because energy independence has been the dream of American presidents for decades, and never more so than in the past few years, when the most recent oil price shock has been partly responsible for kicking off the great recession．
 “Energy independence” and its rhetorical(修辭的) companion “energy security', are, however, slippery concepts that are rarely thought through．What is it we want independence from, exactly?
Most people would probably say that they want tobe independent from imported oil．But there are reasons that we buy all that off from elsewhere．
The first reason is that we need it to keep our economy running．Yes, there is a trickle (涓涓細流)of biofuel (生物燃料) available, and more may become available, but most biofueis cause economic wasteand environmental destruction．
Second, Americans have basically decided that they don't really want to produce all their Own oil．They value the environmental quality they preserve, over their off imports from abroad．Vast areas of the United States are off-limits to off exploration and production in the name of environmental protection．To what extent are Americans really willing to endure the environmental impacts of domestic energy production in order to cut back imports?
Third, there are benefits to trade．It allows for economic efficiency, and when we buy things from places that have lower production costs than we do, we benefit．And although you don't read about this much, the United States is also a large exporter of off products, selling about 2 million barrels of petroleum products per day to about 90 countries．
There is no question that the United States imports a great deal of energy and, in fact, relies on that steady flow to maintain its economy．When that flow is interrupted, we feel the pain in short supplies and higher prices．At the same time, we derive massive economic benefits when we buy the most affordable energy on the world market and when we engage in energy trade around the world．
What does the author say about energy independence for America?
A．It sounds very attractive．
B．It ensures national security．
C．It will bring oil prices down． 
D．It has long been everyone's dream．


2、Questions are based on the following passage.
What is it about Americans and food? We love to eat, but we feel 36 __ about it afterward. We say we want only the best, but we strangely enjoy junk food. We' re(37) __ with health and weight loss but face an unprecedented epidemic of obesity. Perhaps the (38) __ to this ambivalence lies in our history. The first Europeans came to this continent searching for new spices but went in vain. The first cash crop wasn't eaten but smoked. Then there was Prohibition, intended to prohibit drinking but actually encouraging more (39) __  ways of doing it.
The immigrant experience, too, has been one of in harmony. Do as Romans do means eating what" real Americans" eat, but our nation's food has come to be(40) __ by imports--pizza, say, or hot dogs. And some of the country's most treasured cooking comes from people who arrived here in shackles.
Perhaps it should come as no surprise then that food has been a medium for the nation's defining struggles, whether at the Boston Tea Party or the sit-ins at southern lunch counters. It is integral to our concepts of health and even morality whether one refrains from alcohol for religious reasons or evades meat for political(41) __
But strong opinions have not brought(42) __. Americans are ambivalent about what they put in their mouths. We have become43of our foods, especially as we learn more about what they contain.
The(44) __  in food is still prosperous in the American consciousness. It's no coincidence, then, that the first Thanksgiving holds the American imagination in such bondage( 束縛 ). It's what we eat--and how we(45) __ it with friends.

4、根據材料，回答問題。
Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman. A man goes shopping because he needs something. His purpose is settled and decided in advance. He knows what he wants, and his objective is to find it and buy it; the price is a secondary consideration. All men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want. If the shop has it in stock, the salesman promptly produces it, and the business of trying it on proceeds at once. All being well, the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyone's satisfaction.
 For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants, or does not have eactly what he wants. In that case the salesman, as the name implies, tries to sell the customer something else--he offers the nearest he can to the article required. No good salesman brings out such a substitute bluntly; he does so with skill and polish. "I know this jacket is not the style you want, sir, but would you like to try it for size? It happens to be the color you mentioned. " Few men have patience with this treatment, and the usual response is: "This is the right color and may be the right size, but I should be wasting my time and yours by trying it on. "
 Now how does a woman go about buying clothes? In almost every respect she does so in the opposite way.
Her shopping is not often based on need. She has never fully made up her mind what she wants, and she is only"having a look around". She is always open to persuasion; indeed she sets great store by what the saleswoman tells her, even by what companions tell her. She will try on any number of things. Uppermost in her mind is the thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her. Contrary to a lot of jokes, most women have an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes. They are always on the look-out for the unexpected bargain. Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one rail to another, to and fro, often retracing her steps,before selecting the dresses she wants to try on. It is a laborious process, but apparently an enjoyable one. So most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands.
When a man is buying clothes, __________.
A．he chooses things that others recormnend
B．he buys cheap things, regardless of quality
C．he buys good things, so long as they are not too expensive
D．he does not mind how much he has to pay for the right things
