They were left behind and the bus went 34 . Suddenly they heard a loud boom 35 of the road. It was a huge rock rolling down in the landslide that hit the bus and fell with it into a deep valley. The lovers were greatly 36 by the news that no passengers on board 37 . When they calmed down they 38 and expressed their feelings in a few words.

The above story was told by a guide when we were riding a tourist 39 to a scenic mountain. He asked us to guess what the lovers said 40 after the disaster that they had narrowly escaped.

Often we read reports about traffic accidents, among which there were 41 ones who missed the bus and 42 the disaster. Those people usually said with a sigh of 43 “Fortunately I was not on board.” On our bus the passengers’ 44 to the guide were various.

But the answer was quite out of our expectation. “If we hadn’t got down and 45 the bus, it would have 46 the dangerous spot and all the passengers would have survived.”

The story passed from person to person as a sort of wit (智慧) test, but I think 47 . It actually serves as a(n) 48 of a person’s mind. I pay my heart-felt respect to the couple who, instead of feeling lucky, 49 themselves for causing the loss of lives. People all have heart for 50 , but it is often a flashing thought across one’s mind that decides whether it is good or evil (邪恶的).

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

A

A food additive (添加剂) is any substance that is added to food. Many people are put off by the idea of “chemicals in food.” The truth is that all food is made up of chemicals. Natural substances like milk, as well as man-made ones like drinks on sale in the market, can be described by chemical formulas. Some chemical substances are indeed harmful, but a person who refused to consume any chemicals would find nothing to eat.

The things we eat can be divided into natural and man-made substances. Some people feel that only natural foods are healthy and that all man-made ingredients are to be avoided. But many natural chemicals, found in plants and animals, are harmful when eaten, and some laboratory-made substances increase the nutritional value of food. Other chemicals have natural and man-made forms that are exactly alike: vitamin C is vitamin C, whether it comes from a test tube or from an orange. Like “chemical”, “man-made” doesn’t necessarily mean “not fit to eat”.

Food additives are used for many reasons. We add sugar and salt and other things to foods we prepare at home to make them taste better. Food producers have developed a range of additives that stabilize, thicken, harden, keep wet, keep firm, or improve the appearance of their products. Additives can make food more convenient or nutritious, give it a longer shelf life, and make it more attractive to the consumer, thus increasing the sales and profits of the producers.

Food additives are presently the centre of a storm of serious argument. Food producers have been known to use additives that have not been proved safe; some substances in common use have been proved unsafe and have been taken off the market. Many people feel there’s a risk of eating food to which anything has been added. But food additives are now regulated by the FDA of the federal government, and new additives will go through strict testing before they can be placed on the marke
