Part 3 Reading and Writing（第三部分 读写）

Ⅵ. Reading comprehension（阅读理解）（共50分）

A. Choose the best answer（根据以下内容，选择最恰当的答案）（12分）

Mr Testtube has found three interesting articles at the website www.globalfun.com for his students.

Cambridge University’s‘doctor of chocolate’

4

Cambridge University is looking for someone to study the method of preserving chocolates in hot weather. It is a sweet job for a sweet tooth. However, the person needs to be good at math. Chocolate has a melting point close to our body temperature. For that reason, chocolate melts easily in hot weather. You might think the advertisement from Cambridge University is ridiculous, but if there is really a‘doctor of chocolate,’he or she will help people a lot. One logo（商标）isn’t too expensive to print because it doesn’t need much ink, but printing a large number of logos could cost a lot. In order to save money and energy, an American design company made small changes to some famous brands, such as Nike, McDonald’s and Starbucks, to cut the cost. The design company retained the main body of these logos, but left an empty space inside. The logos look almost the same, but in this way, the famous brands could save 39 percent of the ink during the printing process. Let’s hope other companies will take this advice. The measure will save them money and use less energy, too.
