第一部分 閱讀理解（共兩節(jié)）第一節(jié)

• 1．An incredible dog has mastered more than just the doggy paddle （狗刨式游泳） - the golden brown pet helps disabled children learn how to surf．Ricochet's owner Judy Fridono said， "I was working with her at balance and coordination （協(xié)作）．Her balance is so good that she can help to stabilize the board for the kids．And it makes them feel good to know that Ricochet is there with them，keeping them company．"
     After becoming an expert，two-year-old Ricochet helps the disabled children build up the confidence to get on the board themselves．Dressed in a yellow jacket，Ricochet helps to counter-balance the board and acts as a reassuring presence．
     Ms．Fridono knows what an impact her beloved dog can have．She herself was severely disabled since her teens．Having Ricochet around lifts her spirits，and inspires her to conquer her pain to get on the board． "Ricochet has taught me to focus on what I can do，rather than what I can't，" she said．
     One of those who have benefited from Ricochet's skills is six-year-old Ian McFarland．In 2008 a car crash left him with brain damage．Although he had loved surfing before the accident，he was too nervous to go back into the water．His fear turned to excitement，when he was told he could try a tandem （雙人） surf session with Ricochet．Their session was a success and by the end of it，Ian was smiling from ear to ear．As well as helping with treatments，Ricochet also raised ￡5，000 to help continue Ian's recovery．
     Over the last 10 months，Ricochet's excellent performances on the sea have raised more than ￡30，000 for a number of charity causes．

• 2．Never before in Chinese history has a documentary film aroused so much public enthusiasm．Everybody is talking about a new 7-part documentary called A Bite of China which was recently broadcast late at night on CCTV I．The documentary describes various gourmet items across the vast Chinese culinary （烹飪） landscape．
     According to Taobao，China's biggest online retail website，just five days after the series began to air，nearly 6 million people went to the site in search of various local specialities，particularly those mentioned in the documentary．More than 7.2 million deals were concluded．A ham producer from Yunnan Province saw his sales grow 17-fold in five days．
     However，one can't help but believe that the documentary's popularity is probably linked to the endless stream of terrible food security issues that have emerged in recent years．In one well-received article，a netizen wrote， "I wonder how many felt so empty-hearted and sighed after watching the film．Formaldehyde（甲醛） sprayed cabbage，Sudan Red colored salty eggs，restaurants using gutter oil．The list is long…"
     A varied and ancient food culture that is famous world-wide and which should have made the Chinese proud ends like this：one can only sigh．Food is the most vital thing in people's lives．Yet China's food industry is a typical description of "bad money driving out the good"．The market is huge while the cost of faking and cheating is so low for unscrupulous （不道德的） businessmen；and the punishment is too light．Take the milk industry as an example．Although Sanlu，the company that sold the melamine-adulterated milk powder，was punished，thousands of other dairies didn't work hard to improve the quality．In order to allow national brands to survive，Chinese authorities are happy to loosen their regulations．
     As the documentary shows，people are attracted not to gourmet items like matsutake，a species of rare mushroom grown naturally in remote forests，but to common Chinese dishes like barley，lotus root or tofu．They are what meet our basic needs．This explains why people are so excited about A Bite of China---it is a reminder that there is still a world out there where food is excellent and people have dignity．
  
  （1）The underlined word "gourmet items" probably means

  ．
  A．beautiful clothes
  B．latest technology
  C．delicious food
  D．great inventions
  （2）The second paragraph mainly talks about

  ．
  A．the producer of the document
  B．the content of the document
  C．the history of Chinese gourmet
  D．The popularity of the document
  （3）We can infer from what a netizen wrote in one well -received article that

  ．
  A．none of the television viewers have a knowledge of the Chinese food culture
  B．there is a huge contrast between the ancient food culture and the reality
  C．the price of food is too high for many common people
  D．the documentary was made by a world-famous Chinese director
  （4）According to the passage，China's food industry is full of faking and cheating because

  ．
  A．there are still so many poor people at the present time
  B．the punishment for unscrupulous businessmen isn't serious enough
  C．the Chinese government encourages it to do so
  D．the food technology is not so advanced as in developed countries
