chips.The first is credited to GeorgeCrum,21 in 1853 was cooking in a restaurant,Moons Lake House.A customer requestedCrums fhmous fried potatoes.However,when the dish 22(serve),the customer found thepotatoes too thick for his liking.Crum sliced them thinner,but still they werent thin enough for theguest.The dish was sent back and forth several times.23(anger),Crum eventually cut thepotatoes paper-thin,deep-fried them,and spread a lot of salt on them.His idea was 24(make)the potatoes uneatable,but instead he invented a tasty treat completely by accident.However,there is a recipe that came out before Crums invention.An 1822 cookbook TheCooks Secrets 25 William Kitchiner,outlines how to make Potatoes Fried in Slices”.Itcalls for cutting potatoes into thin slices and frying them in oil.There are two other similar recipesfrom 1824 and 1832,26 of which mention Kitchiner.Then there is the great fried vs baked debate.Fried potato chips contain a lot more oil and fat.Baked chips,however,are cooked in an oven or air fryer rather than being fried in oil.So,theyreconsidered the 27(healthy)option.Today,a lot of health-conscious chip manufacturerslove to say their chips are baked,not fried,to appeal to people who are concerned about28 healthy their food is.Speaking of health-conscious people,they probably want to stay away from“Royce chips,which are chips 29(dip)in chocolate.The mix of salty and sweet is to die for,but far fromhealthy.30 kind of flavor you prefer,theres definitely a chip somewhere out there thathas your name on it.Section BDirections:Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box.Each word can be used onlyonce.Note that there is one word more than you need.Why You Need to FailA.casualB.inbornC.downturnD.replaceE.failing

each blank in the following passage there are four words orphrases marked A,B,C and D.Fill in each blank with the word or phrase thatbest fits the context.Southern long-finned pilot whales are marine mammals with a lot to sayand they may usevocalizations（发声）to outsmart a deadly enemy.Cetaceans（鲸类动物）such as whales and dolphins communicate through sound to find foodand mates,to navigate and to interact socially.Their vocalizations 41 between species andwithin communities.The animals can mimic（模仿）artificial noise such as sonar,but nobody hadpreviously recorded them 42 other cetaceans9 sounds.A new study,however,foundoverlap in the cetacean sound book.Researchers listened to 2,028 vocalizations of long-finned pilot whales off the coast ofAustralia,the first time sounds from the species in this region have been 43 described.They were surprised to hear 19 instances of vocalizations that resembled those of orcas-the whalesoceanic 44.“We found some calls that are,to the human ear,45 to the killerwhale calls in the same area,“says Christine Erbe,an expert in Marine Science and Technology.Pilot whales and orcas,the two largest species of cetaceans,are often seen in the same46 and are similar sizes,and both live in social groups.Orcas compete for food with long-finned pilot whales and are 47 their predators（猎食者）.48 from orca stomachs shows they do occasionally eat pilot whales.But pilot whalescan mob and chase orcas away,the only cetaceans seen 49 themselves from their predatorin this way.Mimicry could serve as an 50 defense:One theory is that if they use similarsounds,they may not be recognized as prey,Erbe says.Pilot whales hunting or eating orcas foodremainders might go 5J if they use orca-like calls.t4This is all underwater,where lighttravels really poorly,she adds.So these animals 52 sound for detecting their prey andpredators and for navigating.Long-finned pilot whales have shown an ability to 53between orca calls with different meanings.Additional work would 54 whether mimicry is actually occurring.Researcherscould pair their listening data with direct observations of the animals,interactions in the wild orperhaps even play orca sounds and watch the w h a l e s

following three passages.Each passage is followed byseveral questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are fourchoices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to theinformation given in the passage you have just read.(A)I was 12 years old when my life changed forever.It was just before the end of the school day,and my teacher told me that my mum had asked me to go home immediately.There was a policecar in the driveway,and I heard the sound of my sister crying in the living room.My mum took meupstairs and told me that my dad had died.I remember crying like forever.Then my uncle sat me down and told me what had happened.I remember thinking Dad musthave been in an accident in his car-he had a sporty red one,and I thought he must have crashed.So it was shocking to learn he had been murdered-especially when I then discovered that he hadbeen trying to help someone.Our cleaner had been going through a difficult break-up with herhusband,and had her post delivered to our house so her partner couldnt seize it.Dad had taken hermail round to her,but her partner saw him,stole a knife,went to the house and stabbed my dadthrough the heart,which killed him instantly.It took me a very long time to be able to get to a place where I could remember the happy timeswith my dad.Ifs as if your brain wont let you remember because its too painful.Even 30 yearson,it can be a challenge.Ifs like a coping surviving mechanism and I still work through it today but thats life living with sorrow.During the past few years Fve found that talking and writing has been a big help.Its helpedme acknowledge what happened,and has made me see these feelings are completely normal.Actually for many years,I used to question why I was still feeling this way,but you come to realizethere is no set pattern to sorrow.Its not a quick-fix process;its not even a fixable process.Itssomething you have to live with,and you take comfort wherever you can find it.For someone who has just gone through an unbearable loss,please take it easy on yourself.Tmnot sure whether time is a healer,but it will show you how to live with these feelings youreexperiencing.And through your own unique journey,youll get to the point of understandingyourself that little bit better.56.What can we learn about the death of the writers father?A.He died a slow and painful death.B.He was killed in a
