【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国饮茶的习俗和历史由来。
1.________
greeting
解析 句意为：如你所见，许多中国家庭晚饭后会喝茶或者在招呼客人时端上茶。此处是when引导的时间状语从句的省略，从句主语和主句主语一致，表示“当他们在招呼客人时”，故完整形式是when they are greeting visitors，当状语从句的主语和主句主语一致，且从句中含有be动词时，可以将从句的主语和be动词省略。故填greeting。
2.___
a
解析 句意为：在中国，茶通常被看作是尊重长辈的标志。sign在此处意为“标志”，是可数名词，此处表示“一种……的标志”，表泛指。故填a。
3.__________
to express
解析 句意为：在中国传统的婚礼仪式上，新郎和新娘为了表达他们的感谢，都要给他们的父母敬茶。分析句子结构可知，句子已有谓语serve，设空处与谓语动词之间无连词连接，应用非谓语动词形式，结合句意可知，此处表示目的，应用动词不定式作目的状语。故填to express。
4._________
apologies
解析 句意为：人们还会以敬茶的方式向他人表示诚挚的歉意。此处应该填名词作宾语，apology意为“道歉”，在此处用作可数名词，其前无限定词修饰，故用复数形式。故填apologies。
5._____________
various/varied
解析 句意为：这些各式各样的饮茶习俗构成了丰富的中国茶文化。设空处修饰名词，需要用形容词作定语，various/varied意为“各种各样的”。故填various/varied。
6.____
its
解析 句意为：关于它的历史，大约2,000年前，中国的文字材料介绍道，茶是一种可以延年益寿的健康饮品。设空处后有名词history，此处应该用形容词性物主代词。故填its。
7.______________
was introduced
解析 句意见上一题解析。主语tea和动词introduce之间是被动关系，所以用被动语态；时间发生在大约2,000年前，所以用一般过去时的被动语态；主语tea是不可数名词，be动词用was。故填was introduced。
8._____
that
解析 句意为：人们唯一应该注意的是，不应该在吃饭的时候喝茶。根据句式结构判断，后面从句部分修饰The only thing，所以设空处引导定语从句，关系词在从句中作宾语，且先行词被The only修饰，关系词只能用that,不能用which。故填that。
【知识拓展】常见的定语从句中关系代词常用that的情况
（1）先行词为指物的不定代词all, anything, nothing, something, none等时，关系代词一般用that；
（2）先行词被形容词最高级或序数词修饰时，关系代词常用that；
（3）先行词被the only, the very, the last等修饰时，关系代词常用that；
（4）先行词既包含人又包含物时，关系代词只能用that。
9._____
with
解析 句意见上一题解析。along with表示“连同……一起”，为固定搭配。故填with。
10.______
dates
解析 句意为：这种仪式通常在茶馆举行，可以追溯到16世纪。句中缺少谓语，date from常用一般现在时；主语The ceremony为单数，谓语动词要使用第三人称单数形式。故填dates。

&19& 体裁：记叙文 &20& 题材：夏季美食 &21& 词数：315 &22& 难度：&23& &24& 建议用时：7分钟
After a difficult academic year, we all deserve a wonderful summer holiday, a time for relaxation and celebration.Of course, a big part of any celebration involves food.Many of my holidays, birthdays, days out and good memories are defined by the amazing food that was involved.The sunny weather and long days bring with it a whole selection of meals, recipes and snacks to be enjoyed.
The first thing that summer calls for is a barbecue.Although I don't have a barbecue at home, a portable barbecue will do the trick and this means that you can enjoy a slightly charred burger wherever you are.Picnics are also a must for summer and I often find they are the most fun when treated like a potluck, with each person bringing along their personal favourites.Cocktail sausages and mini Scotch eggs are always my guilty pleasures.As someone from the Suffolk coast, fish and chips are essential.It truly feels like summer when I sit on the beach with chips wrapped in paper on my lap.The
coast is the best place to get a seafood treat with fish being caught fresh daily.Besides, you can finish your day with a walk along the beach.Finally, we can't forget the drinks.A jug of Pimm's in the sun, well balanced by lemonade and summer fruits, is always delicious.And I find that nothing reminds me more of post-exam celebrations than a pint in a beer garden.
The thing about summer food is that it often becomes food associated with summer memories.Picnics, barbecues, and fish and chips on the beach are more than just delicious meals—they are a way to socialize and have fun with friends and family.Part of the fun comes from lazing in the sun afterwards, swimming in the sea, and playing heartily, which is why our food memories are so powerful.

2.Which of the following can best explain the underlined word “portable” in Paragraph 2 ( )
C
A.Multifunctional. B.Automatic. C.Easy to carry. D.Simple to operate.
解析 词义猜测题。根据画线词后文中的this means that you can enjoy a slightly charred burger wherever you are 可知，在任何地方都可以吃到略微烤焦的汉堡包，由此可以推知，这个烤架是可以随身携带的，那么画线词portable就表示“便于携带的”，与“Easy to carry”表述相同。故选C项。
3.What is the most likely to make the author recall post-exam celebrations ( )
D
A.Having a barbecue at home. B.Taking a walk along the beach.
C.Getting a seafood treat on the coast. D.Enjoying some Pimm's in a beer garden.
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中的Finally, we can't forget the drinks.A jug of Pimm's in the sun, well balanced by lemonade and summer fruits, is always delicious.And I find that nothing reminds me more of post-exam celebrations than a pint in a beer garden.可知，在啤酒花园里享用皮姆酒最有可能让作者回忆起考试后的庆祝活动。故选D项。
4.In which part of a newspaper can you most probably read the text ( )

If you're like most people, you're too busy eating pizza to stop and consider how it arrived on your
kitchen counter.1. . So why don't pizzas arrive in round cardboard boxes
It's mostly because the pizza industry doesn't really care to bother the cardboard industry.2. .
That's because they can be made in one piece as well as neatly piled.
The advantage of making a round pizza box would mainly be aesthetic.But it's not going to save
space over an edged box.3. . It's just bad pizza management.
4. . In the 1800s, street sellers carried pies in portable metal containers that kept them warm.When
pizza started rising in popularity in postwar America, pizzerias used a single piece of cardboard as
support and then slipped the pie into a paper bag.Eventually, corrugated cardboard （瓦楞纸板） kept a
fine balance between retaining heat without trapping too much moisture.
Will we ever see a radical rethink of the pizza box Some people have tried.In 2010, Apple filed
for a patent for a round pizza container with holes so moisture can escape.It's used in the company's
food courts.Another company, World Centric, designed a compostable round box in 2018 that can be
used to reheat pizza.A similar product was test-marketed by Pizza Hut in 2019.5. .
F
C
E
B
G
A.The pizza box has changed over time.
B.Pizza wasn't always put in square cardboard boxes.
C.Cardboard boxes are usually manufactured with edges.
D.Pizza boxes are designed to be square for the benefit of deliverymen.
E.If the boxes are piled vertically （垂直地）, pizzas run the risk of rolling out of place.
F.Think it long enough, though, and you may wonder why pies usually come in square boxes.
G.Although all the designs were claimed to keep pizzas warmer and crispier, none have become widespread.
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了比萨饼不装在圆形纸板盒里的原因以及比萨饼盒的发展变化与创新。
1.___
F
解析 上文讲的是很少有人会考虑比萨饼是如何到达餐桌的，下文提出问题：为什么比萨饼不装在圆形纸板盒里？F项（但想得久了，你可能会好奇为什么比萨饼通常都装在方形盒子里）中的前半句Think it long enough, though体现了与上文的转折关系，后半句you may wonder why pies usually come in square boxes引出下文的“为什么比萨饼盒不是圆形的”这一话题。故选F项。
2.___
C
解析 空前指出比萨饼不装在圆形纸板盒里的原因，C项 （纸板盒通常是批量生产的有棱角的盒子）承接空前提到的the cardboard industry，指出纸板行业生产的纸板盒的形状特点；空后则解释了生产有棱角的纸板盒的原因：这样的盒子可以一次成型，而且也容易堆放整齐。故选C项。
3.___
E
解析 空前一句指出堆放圆形盒子并不比有棱角的盒子节省空间，E项 （如果竖着堆放这些盒子，比萨饼就会有滚走的风险）进一步介绍使用圆形盒子放比萨饼的弊端，空后指出E项提到的“比萨饼滚走”的后果，衔接紧密。故选E项。
4.___
B
解析 根据空后一句In the 1800s, street sellers carried pies in portable metal containers that kept them warm.可知，19世纪的街头小贩曾将比萨饼装在便携的金属容器中，再根据空后第二句When pizza started rising in popularity… slipped the pie into a paper bag.可知，设空处应指出比萨饼并不是一直装在方形纸盒里的，由此可排除A项，B项符合语境，空后的内容是对设空处的展开说明。故选B项。
5.___
G
解析 空前介绍了几款新的比萨饼盒设计，G项 （尽管所有的设计都声称可以让比萨饼保温更久、更酥脆，但没有一种设计被广泛使用）中的all the designs指代上文提到的那些设计，同时G项呼应文章第一段提出的问题——为什么比萨饼盛放在方形的纸板盒里，故选G项。

3._________
watching
解析 句意为：我是看着奶奶和妈妈制作花馍长大的，看了之后我学会了制作花馍。设空处作伴随状语，应填非谓语动词，主语I与watch之间为逻辑上的主动关系，所以用现在分词。故填watching。

5._______
closely
解析 句意为：“……花馍总是与当地的民俗文化紧密联系在一起。”该技艺的省级传承人支建康说。该技艺于2008年被评为国家级非物质文化遗产。设空处修饰形容词connected，应用副词，表示“密切地”。故填closely。

9.____
felt
解析 句意为：从那一刻起，花馍出现在全国各地。分析句子结构可知，此处为“make+宾语+宾补”结构，设空处应用非谓语动词，presence与feel之间为逻辑上的被动关系，所以用过去分词作宾语补足语。故填felt。

From ancient times, Chinese people love food made of flour, like dumplings, noodles, and pancakes, to name just a few.And in the hands of skilled artisans, flour can be made into lovely figurines （小塑像） to be enjoyed and played with, which brings a unique kind of pleasure.This art form is called the dough figurine.Among the various art styles of dough figurines, Beijing's Dough Figurine Lang is a unique folk art, which is filled with the rich history and customs of the capital city.In 2008, it was included in the national intangible cultural heritage list.
Dough Figurine Lang was created by Lang Shao'an.Most of the dough figurines are animals and characters from legends, historical stories, and local operas.The finished product is either put at the end of a thin stick or on a table for the display.The former are mostly for children to eat or play with, with simple forms and vivid decorations, while the latter are fine pieces of artwork for the display.For this reason, during the making process, they are often mixed with additives （添加剂） to better preserve the finished product.
Lang Jiaziyu, born in 1995, is the third-generation inheritor of Dough Figurine Lang.When he was 15, he created Beijing Olympic Mascots-shaped dough figurines which were highly praised.He looks a bit more fashionable than other folk artisans.In his skilled hands, pop culture icons are popular with young people.
Like most of the other intangible cultural heritage handicrafts in China, Dough Figurine Lang does not get as much attention from the public.Few young people are willing to take the time to master a skill that does not make money, which has led to a decline in the number of those who are committed to the handicraft.Good handicrafts need the devotion of artisans from one generation to another.

Sunday Bakeshop in Oakland, California, makes foods that mix American and Asian cultures.The restaurant makes foods that are cooked or baked in an oven （烤箱）.Many of them are sweet.For example, the shop sells something called a dim sum cookie.It looks like a sugar cookie but has sesame （芝麻） seeds on top and sweetened red beans inside.Dim sum is a word for Cantonese foods from southern China.
The dim sum cookie is Elaine Lau's way of honouring her grandmother who would make a kind of food that had a similar taste.Lau's restaurant also makes Chinese White Rabbit candy cookies.Those sweets would not be found in any bakeries in Asia but are a mixture of Asian and Western foods.Lau said she speaks to Asian Americans and others at her store.She said, “We get a lot of comments, for example, ‘The cookies are just like little lovely kitties and puppies.’ ‘Oh this took me back to several years ago when I was growing up.’” She added that it was nice to create good memories and feelings with her pastries （油酥糕点）.
Bakeries that combine the feeling of growing-up Asians and Americans have been opening up more often in recent years.Traditional Asian ingredients are being mixed with European or American pastries into something new.The creations are a way for young Asian Americans to celebrate their identity.
“Older traditional Asian bakeries make foods that immigrants miss from their home country.The new bakeries celebrate Asian culture and are part of a natural progression,” said Robert Ku, who is an Asian-American studies professor at Binghamton University in New York State.He also wrote the book Dubious Gastronomy: The Cultural Politics of Eating Asian in the USA.
“The bakers are showing that their foods, which mix cultures, are just as American as apple pie.It's sort of the artistic side of Asian American identity that's often ignored,” Ku said.“They're instead really trying to fuse things together.”
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了亚裔美国人的面包店将亚洲饮食文化和西方饮食文化融合在一起，创造出新的食品。
1.What does Lau think of her work ( )
D
A.Tiring. B.Demanding. C.Confusing. D.Rewarding.

2.What are the older traditional Asian bakeries trying to do ( )
C
A.Create a new way of showing their identities.
B.Celebrate the Asian culture in foreign countries.
C.Remind the immigrants of their hometown flavour.
D.Introduce young Asian Americans to new culture.
解析 细节理解题。根据第四段中的Older traditional Asian bakeries make foods that immigrants miss from their home country.可知，较古老的传统亚洲面包店试图让移民们想起家乡的味道。故选C项。
3.What does the underlined word “fuse” in the last paragraph mean ( )
A
A.Combine. B.Improve. C.Invent. D.Consume.
解析 词义猜测题。根据最后一段中的The bakers are showing that their foods, which mix cultures, are just as American as apple pie.It's sort of the artistic side of Asian American identity that's often ignored和instead可知，尽管他们制作的食品极具美国特色，并没有帮助他们成功构建亚裔美国人的身份，但他们仍试图继续这一行为。结合上文所举的伊莱恩·劳的例子以及mix cultures可知，fuse在此意为“融合”，与combine同义。故选A项。
4.What is the suitable title for the text ( )
C
A.Asian American Cookies Become Americans' Favourite Food
B.A Variety of New Asian Foods Are Created by American Cooks
C.Asian American Bakeries Mix Together Cultures to Create New Foods
D.Traditional Asian Food Becomes Popular With American Young People
解析 主旨大意题。通读全文并结合第三段内容可知，文章讲述亚裔美国人的面包店将不同文化融合在一起，创造出新的食品。因此C项（亚裔美国人的面包店将各种文化融合在一起，创造出新的食品）适合作为文章标题。故选C项。

You might easily gain access to fresh fruit and vegetables, but this isn't the case in some parts of America.The US has many areas that are considered as food deserts, which are defined as parts of the country short of fresh fruit, vegetables and other healthy food, usually found in poor areas.
Food deserts are urban areas where the nearest grocery store is more than 1 mile away, and rural areas where the nearest grocery store is more than 10 miles away.According to the United States Department of Agriculture, 19 million Americans—or about 6% of the population—live in places that can be considered as food deserts.
The issue isn't necessarily about the difference in the cost between healthy and unhealthy foods in these areas but it's about a lack of access to healthy choices at all.And, with the lack of healthy food choices, these areas typically have a large supply of unhealthy foods sold at fast-food companies and convenience stores.
Eating unhealthy foods can lead to overweight, which puts people at risk of all kinds of major health issues, including high blood pressure, heart disease, and some cancers.
But some people, especially those who cannot afford a car, are stuck with eating what's readily available.In the case of food deserts, it's usually the type of food that can lead to overweight.Studies have shown that this is likely to be a problem in low-income areas.When money is not enough, people tend to buy foods that last longer and remove food waste, which is a waste of their limited income.
Lack of access is only one part of the problem, however.The bigger issue is likely the lack of education and nutritional knowledge in these communities, which prevents people with lower income from understanding the benefits of healthy eating.
While overweight is a significant issue in these communities, the cost of unhealthy eating isn't just physical.A study found that 71 billion dollars in health care costs due to chronic （慢性的） diseases could be saved through healthier eating.
【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了在美国有一些食品荒漠地区，那里的人很难买到新鲜的蔬菜和水果，只能大量购买不健康的食品。但造成这种现象的深层原因是那些地方的人收入很低且缺乏教育和营养学方面的知识。
1.What can we infer from the first two paragraphs ( )
B
A.About 6% of the Americans live in poor areas.
B.Some parts of the USA lack fresh vegetables.
C.Some people in America don't need fresh fruit.
D.People living in food deserts buy fresh vegetables easily.
解析 推理判断题。根据第一段中的You might easily gain access to fresh fruit and vegetables, but this isn't the case in some parts of America.和第二段中的According to the United States Department of Agriculture, 19 million Americans—or about 6% of the population—live in places that can be considered as food deserts.可推测，美国的一些地区缺乏新鲜的水果和蔬菜。故选B项。
2.Why can fast-food companies sell large amounts of unhealthy food in food deserts ( )
C
A.These areas are rich in unhealthy food materials.
B.The fast food sold in food deserts is of lower cost.
C.Healthy food choices are unavailable in these areas.
D.People in these areas prefer unhealthy food to healthy food.
解析 细节理解题。根据第三段中的And, with the lack of healthy food choices, these areas typically have a large supply of unhealthy foods sold at fast-food companies and convenience stores.可知，在食品荒漠地区存在大量快餐公司售卖不健康食品的原因是：当地人缺乏健康食品的选择。故选C项。
3.What can we learn from Paragraph 5 about the low-income people ( )
C
A.They are less likely to have overweight problems.
B.They are not delighted to prepare food themselves.
C.They have to buy food that can be preserved longer.
D.They are used to eating food donated by food companies.
解析 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段中的When money is not enough, people tend to buy foods that last longer and remove food waste, which is a waste of their limited income.可知，当钱不够时，人们往往购买可以储存更久的食物。故选C项。
4.What may stop people from understanding the benefits of healthy eating in the food deserts ( )
D
A.Their high health care costs due to the chronic diseases.
B.Their long established eating habits.
C.The government's lack of financial support.
D.Their lack of education and knowledge about nutrition.
解析 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的The bigger issue is likely the lack of education and nutritional knowledge in these communities, which prevents people with lower income from understanding the benefits of healthy eating.可知，在食品荒漠地区，缺乏教育和营养学方面的知识使得人们无法理解健康饮食的好处。故选D项。

Breadfruit is a traditional staple （主要的） crop from the Pacific islands with the potential to improve worldwide food security.While people have survived on it for thousands of years, there was a lack of basic scientific knowledge of the health impacts of a breadfruit-based diet in both humans and animals.Now the fruit is getting the nutritional thumbs-up from a team of British Columbia researchers.
Breadfruit can be harvested, dried and made into flour.For the project, researchers had four breadfruits from the same tree in Hawaii, shipped to the Murch Lab at UBC Okanagan.Ying Liu led the study examining the digestion and health impact of a breadfruit-based diet.
“We wanted to contribute to the development of breadfruit as a sustainable, environmentally friendly and high-production crop,” Liu says.The researchers designed a series of studies that could provide data on the impacts of a breadfruit-based diet fed to mice and also an enzyme （酶） digestion model.
The researchers determined that breadfruit protein was found to be easier to digest than wheat protein in the enzyme digestion model.And mice fed the breadfruit diet had a significantly higher growth rate and body weight than standard diet-fed mice.Liu also noted mice on the breadfruit diet had significantly higher daily water consumption compared to mice on the wheat diet.
Fundamental understanding of the health impact of breadfruit digestion and diets is necessary and essential to the establishment of breadfruit as a staple in the future.“Overall, these studies support the use of breadfruit as part of a healthy, nutritionally balanced diet,” says Liu.The use of breadfruit could make inroads into food sustainability for many populations globally.Liu suggests if a person ate the same amount of cooked breadfruit they can meet up to nearly 57 percent of their daily fibre requirement, more than 34 percent of their protein requirement and at the same time consume vitamin C, iron, calcium and other nutrients.

For my second career, as a weather forecaster （天气预报员）, I jerked on the Canadian plain, which is the second-best place to chase （追逐） severe weather, after Tornado Alley.I was also studying for a degree in Meteorology so I could interpret weather data and make my own forecasts.I didn't want to be looked at as someone silly who didn't know what she was talking about.Around that time, a photographer friend invited me to chase with him in the Alley for a month.I said sure; I wanted to learn everything I could.
During my second round in 2013, I got to see the largest tornado in recorded history—on the very last day of the chase season.We were waiting in this dark and dirty gas-station parking lot in El Reno, Oklahoma.Chasers do that a lot.We sit around in groups waiting and eating junk food.The forecast called it a high-risk day, and finally, a tornado rolled in around 5:30 pm.
It started out as a little cloud and then turned into a 60,000-foot thunderstorm in maybe 20 minutes. We jumped in our car and raced towards it.A few minutes later I was looking out the window, filming this massive wall of what seemed like rain.We thought the tornado was hidden inside.But then I saw it taking shape and felt it sucking in wind.That's when I realised that wall was the tornado itself.It was around 2.6 miles across with winds nearly 300 miles per hour.It was explosive.
We hurried to be out of there.Cars packed the roads.All we could see were brake lights.We feared we'd be stuck.But in a few minutes, it was over.
Three storm chasers died that day, just up the road from where we'd been stuck.That had never happened before.So yeah, I wondered why I would risk going out again.But then the next chase season called me back.
