Pizza is a pretty universal treat, but where did it start? Here are three things you probably didn’tknow about pizza.
1: Pizza’s Origins Are Half-Baked.
The Neapolitans(那不勒斯⼈)in Italy are proud of saying they invented pizza, but it’s probably moreaccurate to say, they perfected it. The idea of putting toppings on a flatbread and baking it started in the 6thcentury B. C. But the people of Naples were the first to put tomato on a flatbread in the 16th century. From itsstart, pizza was a food of the poor, as it was cheap, filling and easy to eat on the run. In Italian, the word“pizza” refers to anything that is made and then pressed flat.
2: Pizza Margherita Is Not Exactly a Symbol of Italy.
It was said some day in 1889, a local baker named Raffaele Esposito created three pizzas forQueen Margherita when she was on a tour of Italy. The queen loved the version that had tomato, basil andmozzarella cheese--- and just happened to match the colors of the Italian flag. So Esposito named the pizzaafter her.
But Pizza historian Scott Wiener points out that Italy was unified in name only in 1889 so it wasunlikely any Neapolitan baker would want to celebrate “the Northern conquerors.” Further, the letter ofgratitude for the pizza from the royal household that Pizzeria Brandi displays appears to be a fake(赝品)andmay just have been a marketing plan.
3: Hawaliian Pizza Invented by a Canadian.
Sam Panopoulos, from Greece originally moved to Canada at the age of 20. In 1962, he decided toput some ham and pineapple on a pizza at one of his restaurants in Ontario.
“We just put it on for fun to see how it was going to taste,” he told the BBC in 2017. Panopoulosnamed it the Hawaiian pizza after the brand of canned pineapple he used. The mix of sweet and savorytoppings caught on with a certain part of the pizza-loving public. The inventor died in 2017.
1. Who was pizza first made for? A. The people of Naples. B. The poor Neapolitan people. C. The rich Italian people. D. Queen Margherita specially.
2. What can we learn about Pizza Margherita? A. It was intended to match the colors of the Italian flag. B. It was made to celebrate \"the Northern conquerors.\" C. It was made to cater for Queen Margherta. D. It was displayed in the royal house. 3. How did the name of Hawaiian Pizza come? A. It was named after a brand of canned pineapple. B. It was named after a restaurant in Ontario. C. It came from a local Hawaiian cook. D. It came from the pizza-loving public. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. A 【解析】

In 2012 my wife and I decided to open our bookstore in spite of unfavorable situations. Thechallenges facing small bookstores were-and remain-significant. Apart from the obvious rise in onlineselling, the increase in the popularity of e-books has negatively affected independent providers.
The question is why a new, small-scale(⼩规模的)provide would voluntarily enter such achallenging market? From a personal view, our reasoning was sound: we wanted to share our love of greatbooks and reading for pleasure with as many like-minded people as possible.
Having done our homework, one thing became clear. In order for us to succeed, we would have tooffer something that none of our larger competitors already provided. And so we started the WilloughbyBook Club. We set up our website in the summer of 2012, and we haven’t looked back.
The idea of service is simple. We offer a range of book subscription gift packages, available inthree-month, six-month and 12-month options. Our customers choose a package, tell us a little about theperson they’re buying it for, and we use this information to send the receiver a hand-picked, gift-wrappedbook once a month. We also recently decided to give one new book to Book Aid International for every giftsubscription sold. These books are sent out to sub-Saharan Africa, supporting the educational work there.Within four months of starting out, we won the Young Bookseller of the Year Award at the 2013 Booksellerawards.
Our brief journey from new booksellers to award receivers has been challenging and rewarding.
The biggest thing we’ve learned is that, despite the pressures facing independent providers, there is a placefor them in the UK market. It’s just a question of finding it.
4. What challenges do the couple have to face when opening their bookstore? A. Their bookstore is in an unfavourable place. B. They are short of money and manpower. C. Their books tore has limited great books.
D. Online selling and e-books are gaining popularity.
5. What does the underlined word “sound” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. accurate B. controversial C. reliable D. safe
6. In order to succeed, the couple have taken practical measures except ________ . A. setting up a book club B. building their website
C. sending the customers gifts every month D. aiding some Africans by giving them new boos
7. What’s the author’s opinion on being an independent provider? A. It is anything but challenging. B. It is difficult but worth it. C. It is too difficult to succeed. D. It is just a question. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【分析】

【7题详解】
观点态度题。根据最后⼀段中的“The biggest thing we’ve learned is that, despite the pressuresfacing independent providers, there is a place for them in the UK market. It’s just a question of finding it.”可知,尽管独⽴供应商⾯临很⼤的压⼒,但在英国市场仍有⼀席之地,只是找到它的问题,由此可知,作者对成为独⽴供应商持积极的态度,虽然艰难但很值得,故B项正确。
【点睛】观点态度题的难度通常很⼤,通过⽂中的已知信息把握作者的态度是关键,根据最后⼀段中的“The biggest thing we’ve learned is that, despite the pressures facing independent providers, there is a
place for them in the UK market. It’s just a question of finding it.”可知,尽管独⽴供应商⾯临很⼤的压⼒,但在英国市场仍有⼀席之地,只是找到它的问题,由此可知,作者对成为独⽴供应商持积极的态度——虽然艰难但很值得。

Humans’ invention of zero was vital for modern mathematics and science, but we’re not the onlyspecies to consider “nothing” a number. Parrots and monkeys understand the concept of zero, and nowbees have joined the club, too.
Honey bees are known to have some numerical skills such as the ability to count to four, whichmay come in handy when keeping track of landmarks in their environment. To see whether these abilitiesextended to understanding zero, researchers trained 10 bees to identify the smaller of two numbers. Acrossa series of trials, they showed the insects two different pictures displaying a few black shapes on a whitebackground. If the bees flew to the picture with the smaller number of shapes, they were given delicioussugar water, but if they flew toward the larger number, they were punished with bitter-tasting food.
Once the bees had learned to consistently make the correct choice, the researchers gave them anew choice: a white background containing no shapes at all. Even though the bees had never seen anempty picture before, 64% of the time they chose it rather than a picture containing two or three shapes, theauthors report today in Science. This suggests that the insects understood that “zero” is less than two orthree. And they weren’t just going for the empty picture because it was new and interesting. Another groupof bees trained to always choose the larger number tended to pick the nonzero image in this test.
In further experiments, the researchers showed that bees’ understanding of zero was even morecomplex: for example, they were able to distinguish between one and zero-a challenge even for some othermembers of the zero club. Advanced numerical abilities like this could give animals an evolutionaryadvantage, helping them keep track of predators(捕⾷者)and food sources. And if an insect can display sucha thorough grasp of the number zero, write the researchers, then this ability may be more common in theanimal kingdom than we think.
8. According to the trials, the researchers have found that bees ________. A. have the same intelligence as parrots and monkeys B. can count many numbers after being trained C. can identify the smaller number quickly D. understand the concept of zero
9. The researchers trained another group of bees to ________ . A. confirm the bees are able to identify the smaller number B. find the big difference between the two groups of bees C. prove the bees are interested in new things D. show the bees can be distinguished easily
10. What do the researchers suggest in further experiments? A. Bees should be trained more.
B. Numerical abilities could help predators find bees. C. Insects are better at understanding zero than animals. D. Animals may display a thorough grasp of the number zero. 11. What is the best the title for the text? A. New Findings About Bees’ Concept of Zero B. Experients on Bees’ Numerical Skills C. Complex Trials About the Zero Club D. A Science Report of the Species of Bees 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. D 11. A 【解析】
