Quinoa，of which both the seeds and leaves can be edible，is a crop native to the Andes Mountains.It took off in richer countries in the 1990s after NASA researchers recommended it as part of a potential space-colony diet.Over the past decade，quinoa，one of the leading crops that（1）A.inevitable B.reversed C.complications D.fueled E.dramatically

"It was always comida para los indios （food for Indians），" says Benjamin Huarachi，a member of the board of Bolivia's largest quinoa growers' association， "Today it's food for the world's richest."
It also provides food for thought about the（4）that arise when rich nations try to support farmers in the developing world.The colorful tall tufts （叢生植物），which（5）one of the healthiest foods on the planet，have become Huarachi's golden goose.As global food prices have risen，the price of quinoa has tripled in the past five years，to ＄1 per Ib.，a benefit to growers in the poorest region of South America's poorest country.

3．Why College is Not Home
The college years are supposed to be a time for important growth in autonomy and the development of adult identity.However，now they are becoming an（1）period of adolescence，during which many of today's students do not（2）adult responsibilities.
For previous generations，college was（3）break from parental control；guidance and support needed to come from people of the same age and from withjye.ai.In the past two decades，continued connections with and dependence on family，thanks to cell phones，email and social media，have increased significantly.Some parents go so far as to help with coursework.Instead of promoting the idea of college as a passage from the shelter of the family to autonomy，universities have（4）to the idea that they should provide the same environment as that of the home.
To prepare for increased autonomy and responsibility，college need to be a time of（5）and experimentation.This process involves "trying on" new ways of thinking about oneself both intellectually and personally.（6）we should provide "safe spaces" within colleges，we must also make it safe to express opinions and challenge majority views.（7）growth and flexibility are fostered by strict debate and questioning.
Learning to deal with the（8）world is equally important.Because a college community （群體） differs from the family，many students will struggle to find a sense of（9）.If students rely on administrations to（10）their social behavior and thinking pattern，they are not facing the challenge of finding an identity，within a larger and complex community.
（11），the tendency for universities to monitor and（12）student behavior runs up against another characteristic of young adults：the response to being controlled by their elders.If acceptable social behavior is too strictly defined （規定），the insensitive or aggressive behavior that administrators are seeking to minimize many actually be（13）.It is not surprising that young people are likely to burst out，particularly when there are reasons to do so.
Our generation once joined hands and stood from at times of national emergence.What is lacking today is the（14）between desire for autonomy and their understanding of an unsafe world.Therefore，there is the desire for their home to be replacement homes and not places to experience growth.But every college discussion about community values，social climates and behavior should include（15）of the development importance of students autonomy and self-regulation.（1） A．expanded B．educational C．expected D．extended （2） A．suppose B．acknowledge C．assume D．experience （3） A．hesitant B．decisive C．anxious D．superion （4） A．give up B．give away C．give in D．give out （5） A．instruction B．exploration C．reflections D．preparation （6） A．When B．While C．Since D．If （7） A．Intellectual B．Spiritual C．Logical D．Psychological （8） A．adult B．virtual C．real D．social （9） A．satisfaction B．duty C．belonging D．curiosity （10） A．understand B．train C．protect D．regulate （11） A．Therefore B．Moreover C．Thus D．However （12） A．change B．criticize C．shape D．motivate （13） A．encouraged B．challenged C．agreed D．realized （14） A．difference B．tension C．balance D．conflict （15） A．observation B．recognition C．determination D．judgment 組卷：14引用：1難度：0.2

4．Some late Stone Age Europeans may have carried make-up inside miniature bottles worm around their necks or waists more than 6，000 years ago.
Researchers have found traces of ingredients known to be used in cosmetic formulations （配方） by later civilizations inside small bottles unearthed in Slovenia，dating to between 4350 and 4100 B.C.，more than 2，000 years earlier than previously thought.In 2014，Bine Kramberger at the Institute for the PCHS found a miniature ceramic bottle at an ancient site once occupied by people of the Lasinja culture in around 4350 B.C..More than 100 similar bottles have also been found.
Their purpose was unknown，but it is thought that some might have been children's toys.Curiously，most of them have holes in their tiny handles or edges that archaeologists think people threaded string through，enabling them to be worn around the neck or waist.But Kramberger's find was different because it contained a solid white substance. "It was clear that it had valuable information because in such old archaeological sites，we rarely find vessels that still retain remains of their former content，" he says.
Long and thin stone tools were found near the bottle，which could have been used to extract （提煉） the substance within.Now，Kramberger and his colleagues have analysed the substance in the bottle and examined 13 others from the same period.
The mystery material contained a while lead mineral called cerussite，while different lead minerals were identified in two other bottles.The three lead-containing bottles also had contents coming from beeswax inside.
The bottles' contents could have been used for painting，says Kramberger.But he says it is more likely that they were cosmetics，because they contained common ingredients for such products known from later cultures.Cerussite powder was very popular among the ancient Greeks and Romans for skin whitening and remedies，despite its known toxicity （毒性） Gaydarska says the new study supports what archaeologists have long thought - "that the abilities and cultures of Neolithic people were far more sophisticated than they are often given credit for".
（1）The small bottles unearthed in Slovenia might have been used for the following purposes except.
A．decorating the wears
B．entertaining children
C．storing some valuables
D．whitening the skin
（2）What is the substance contained in the bottles，according to Kramberger's finding？
A．Beeswax.
B．Cerussite.
C．Stone tools.
D．White paint.
（3）What can we infer from the article？
A．Cerussite powder was a perfect solution to skin problems for ancient Europeans.
B．Hundreds of mysterious small bottles were unearthed in Slovenia in 2014.
C．The cultures of Neolithic people were commonly believed to be easy and simple.
D．The technology of extracting substances was already advanced in ancient times.
（4）Which one could be the best title for this article？
A．Content analysis of the bottles found in Slovenia
B．Europeans may have worn make-up in the Stone Age
C．People in ancient times had an eye for beauty
D．Various reasons for ancient Europeans' wearing make-up組卷：6引用：1難度：0.5
