Experience around food is about the place, the time and the people, and "the best meal" can be found in a fine dining restaurant or a crowded street market. How can you recreate that special moment influenced by place and time Travel is becoming the most popular reason to visit many places around the world. Here are the places that consistently excite the senses.
South of France
Markets with fresh fruits and vegetables and butcher shops are abundant. Regional wines are excellent. And freshly baked French bread with French butter is what memories are made of. Take a chair in an ancient walled city for a meal with a view that you will never forget.
Barcelona
This bustling city filled with unique buildings is a city for lovers of history, architecture and food. Kiosko Universal, a counter restaurant at one comer of the market, prepares some of the simplest and best food we've ever had. Give yourself a week to explore and see everything the city offers. The city is not to be missed.
Italy
It's hard to choose one place or city to visit. Some of our favorite places include the coastal regions on the Adriatic and Tuscany. Friuli stole our hearts last year with its many unique wines, small artisan food producers, and influences from neighboring countries like Austria and Germany.
Mexico City
From unbelievable food markets and casual street stands, Mexico City has become the place to travel for the food lovers. If you want to eat locally, order a Hurache, a street food specialty. All you will need is a local microbrew or Mezcal(龙舌兰酒) to wash it down.
1. What is Kiosko Universal
A. A market. B. A butcher shop.
C. A restaurant. D. A street stand.
2. What do you need to help swallow Hurache when eating it
A. Bread. B. Alcohol. C. Juice. D. Fruit.
3. What do the four places have in common
A. They are tourist attractions. B. They have ancient buildings.

I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt's house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.
I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving, I thought about all the places I was going to see—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving and never to come back was hardly in my head then.
The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism(乐观), but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York, I was really lost—having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather(继父) and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to “the hard times.”
My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with immigration officers(移民局官员), took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.
From my experiences I have learned one important rule: Almost all common troubles go away at last! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.
1.How did the author get to know America

C. There are more good things than bad things.
D. Good things will happen if one keeps trying.

Harvey Sutton spent nearly seven months hiking(徒步旅行)with his parents, walking the thousands of miles that make up the complete Appalachian Trail(阿巴拉契亚山道), which is simply called the “AT”. Harvey was just 4 years old when he started, and celebrated his 5th birthday on the trail.
To build up their child’s physical health and develop his personal qualities, Josh and Mary Sutton have been hiking with Harvey since he was two years old. They prepared him for hiking the “AT” by starting out with lots of shorter walks and hikes.
The “AT” is a 3,530-kilometer hiking trail that runs through the forests of the Appalachian Mountains, from Georgia to Maine, passing through 14 states in all. The amount of up and down on the trail is about the same as climbing up and down Mount Everest (the world’s tallest mountain) 16 times. So only one out of every 4 hikers completes all the sections of the trail. But that didn’t stop Harvey and his family.
It took Harvey and his family 209 days—about seven months—to complete the entire AT. Every day the family would wake up around 5:30 in the morning. They would have breakfast and pack up their tent(帐篷) and sleeping bags before setting off through the woods. In general, the family hiked about 16 kilometers a day before stopping to set up camp again.
During his days on the AT, Harvey liked to use his imagination, which helped him walk more quickly and have fun. Harvey and his family made friends with other hikers on the trail. Harvey didn’t seem to get tired and enjoyed the hard work of hiking. “My favorite part was the rock climbing,” he says, “because it was so fun and hard.”
Completing the AT taught Harvey and his parents how to work as a team and how to take on challenges together. “We’re closer than ever before because of the experience,” Harvey’s mom said. “If possible, I want to hike the AT again at some point in the future,” Harvey added.
1.For what purpose did the Suttons hike the “AT”
A. To see the fantastic natural scenery together.
B. To prepared Harvey to climb Mount Everest.
C. To make Harvey strong both in body and in mind.
D. To celebrate Harvey’s 5th birthday in a special way.
2.What do the numbers in paragraph 3 illustrate
A. The main features of the AT.
B. The difficulty of hiking the AT.
C. The popularity of climbing the AT.
D. The significance of crossing the AT.
3.What is the typical character of Harvey
A. Brave, curious and talkative.
B. Honest, easy-going and creative.
C. Challengeable, proud and humorous.
D. Adventurous, positive and strong-willed.
4.What does the last paragraph mainly tell us
A. Harvey is going to hike the AT again.
B. It’s important to meet challenges on one’s own.
C. The Suttons have benefited greatly from the hike.
D. Hiking is sure to make family relationship stronger.

Parents who want their kids to succeed more than anything are now being sold a high-tech solution. Class 120 is $199-a-year smartphone app that tracks teenagers and alerts parents if the kid isn't in his or her scheduled class.
Is it a good idea for parents to track whether their young adults are in class In short: No. This is a terrible idea.
One of the fundamental purposes of a college is learning to be an independent person. That means learning how to do what needs to be done, whether one particularly feels like doing it or not.
It's easy to see why parents are keen on tracking their kids. A student is admitted to college by a process that focuses mainly on grades and scores. Monitoring grades and scores is easy. The parents may think that:
"Our child is succeeding. We are good parents. We are happy." But grades and scores can't tell everything.
They don't take into account whether their kids have the strength of self-discipline(自律) and the skill needed to care for himself or herself.
Monitoring the development of character is much harder for parents. Character growth happens through encountering(遇到) and learning to deal with disappointments and failure. You never know which problem will be the point for growth.
However, letting kids fail can be really difficult for anxious parents. They believe that success means being perfect and never failing. The truth is that kids need to learn to fail.
College is an ideal place to practice adults' responsibility and independence. Students need to make their own decisions about whether to get out of bed and go to work in the morning.
Maybe your child hasn't learned this lesson by now, but he or she has to learn it sometime. An alarm clock's job is to wake you up, but it does not provide a reason.
1.What's author's attitude toward tracking teenagers
A. Supportive. B.Opposed. C. Indifferent. D. Disappointed.
2.According to the author, what's the most important thing should a college student learn in school
A. Avoiding failure. B.Keeping healthy.
C. Professional knowledge. D. Living independently.
3.What's the author's opinion on failure
A. Failure means that a kid is not good enough.
B.Failure may be the key part of kids' development.
C.Everyone should manage to avoid failure at any time.
D.Failure will bring many negative influences to children.
4.What does the underlined sentence mean in the last paragraph
A. An alarm clock is necessary for a kid.
B. A kid should buy a talking alarm clock.
C. A kid should get up early for learning without any reason.
D.A. kid should always maintain a sense of responsibility and independence.
第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
When Failure Is a Good Thing
Failure is an important process you can learn from. ①_____
Most people view failure as something that should be avoided at all costs. ②_____ It may have been an “F” we received on a paper or the high expectations our parents placed upon our shoulders that stopped us from trying.
Award-winning psychologist and author, Ron Friedman, tells the story of how Sara Blakely, founder of Spanx, revolutionized the women's clothing industry and became a billionaire in his book, The Best Place to Work: The Art and Science of Creating an Extraordinary Workplace.
③_____ She had zero experience in the clothing industry, lacked an education in business and raised only $5,000 to invest. When asked where she found the courage, she gave all credit to her dad. While most parents ask their kids, “How was your day " when sitting down for dinner, Sara's parents asked her and her brother, “What did you fail at today ” each and every night.
When interviewed by CNN's Anderson Cooper, Sara said, “Instead of failure being the outcome, failure became not trying. It forced me at a young age to want to push myself so much further out of my comfort zone.” ④_____ It became more about learning and less about a personal weakness.
If we view failure as weakness, we avoid stepping out of our comfort zone. ⑤_____ It does not define us, but instead matures us. I'm sure that there are many risks we would all take in our personal, professional and spiritual lives if we could get past a fear of failure.
What has been the greatest lesson you have learned when taking a chance Please share with us.
A. And, most importantly, it means you tried.
B. Let's take a look at how Sara faced failure.
C. In reality, Sara's father had re-defined failure.
D. Early on, Sara overcame a series of difficulties.
E. Instead, we must remind ourselves that failure is an action.
F. It is important to reflect on what can be learnt from failure.
G. We tend to connect failure with a bad experience we had as a child.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
Both of my parents worked full time so my grandpa often took care of us during holidays. We never really knew what adventure lay before us at Grandpa's. It could be fishing in ponds, or we might hang around his basement or garage that held so many interesting objects. The options were endless.
One day, Grandpa loaded the three of us into his car. And we were headed toward Broadway. I remember coming up to 34th Street. Grandpa talked about gum(口香糖) and asked if any of us wanted some. My grandfather liked chewing gum very much and always had multiple flavors in his pockets. My sister, Charity, seated up front, took a package. Angie, my twin sister, and I were in the back seat. We both voiced our desire to have apiece, too. Grandpa turned around to hand us a package, and to our surprise we were suddenly in the air.
Grandpa's car had climbed the curb(马路牙子). The passenger side was on the curb and the driver's side was still planted firmly on the street. My grandfather quickly turned back and grabbed the wheel. I remember all of us, Grandpa included, screaming as we saw a SPEED LIMIT sign suddenly appear in front of the windshield(挡风玻璃). He only had moments to react. Just as quickly as we had gone up, we came crashing back down. We were headed back toward Broadway, miraculously avoiding running into the metal sign.
I remember Grandpa said to Angie and me, “We'll hold off on the gum for a bit.” We continued to drive up to Broadway and then turned to head east down the main road. We passed Casey Middle School and approached the stoplight that sat there. Grandpa turned around again to pass back a package of gum. I remember trying to reassure Grandpa that we could hold out until the stop light, but Grandpa was not having it. His grandchildren needed gum, and we were going to get it. That's when we hit something solid.
Paragraph 1:
It turned out that we had just hit a bus!
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
"It's Loretta Lynn, a famous singer," I said in surprise.

The old man walked around and instructed us patiently. Finally, we put the figurines we made on the table and took pictures with the old craftsman.

I watched from the back seat of the car, trying to get any of the conversation I could, but I couldn't hear anything. That's when my twin sister noticed something. "Look!" she pointed to the bus.
Paragraph 2:
"It's Loretta Lynn, a famous singer," I said in surprise. I realized that my grandfather had just run into Loretta Lynn's tour bus. A slight wave came from Loretta Lynn, and my grandfather waved back. It appeared that there was no damage to the bus and also there was no damage to my grandpa's car. At last, my grandpa shook the men's hands and made a final wave to Loretta Lynn. Later, Grandpa went into the car, sighing, "I'll never hand you gum while driving."

Markets with fresh fruits and vegetables and butcher shops are abundant. Regional wines are excellent. And freshly baked French bread with French butter is what memories are made of. Take a chair in an ancient walled city for a meal with a view that you will never forget.
Barcelona
This bustling city filled with unique buildings is a city for lovers of history, architecture and food. Kiosko Universal, a counter restaurant at one comer of the market, prepares some of the simplest and best food we've ever had. Give yourself a week to explore and see everything the city offers. The city is not to be missed.
Italy
It's hard to choose one place or city to visit. Some of our favorite places include the coastal regions on the Adriatic and Tuscany. Friuli stole our hearts last year with its many unique wines, small artisan food producers, and influences from neighboring countries like Austria and Germany.
Mexico City
From unbelievable food markets and casual street stands, Mexico City has become the place to travel for the food lovers. If you want to eat locally, order a Hurache, a street food specialty. All you will need is a local microbrew or Mezcal(龙舌兰酒) to wash it down.

I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt's house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.
I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving, I thought about all the places I was going to see—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving and never to come back was hardly in my head then.
The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism(乐观), but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York, I was really lost—having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather(继父) and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to “the hard times.”
My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with immigration officers(移民局官员), took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.
From my experiences I have learned one important rule: Almost all common troubles go away at last! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.

Harvey Sutton spent nearly seven months hiking(徒步旅行)with his parents, walking the thousands of miles that make up the complete Appalachian Trail(阿巴拉契亚山道), which is simply called the “AT”. Harvey was just 4 years old when he started, and celebrated his 5th birthday on the trail.
To build up their child’s physical health and develop his personal qualities, Josh and Mary Sutton have been hiking with Harvey since he was two years old. They prepared him for hiking the “AT” by starting out with lots of shorter walks and hikes.
The “AT” is a 3,530-kilometer hiking trail that runs through the forests of the Appalachian Mountains, from Georgia to Maine, passing through 14 states in all. The amount of up and down on the trail is about the same as climbing up and down Mount Everest (the world’s tallest mountain) 16 times. So only one out of every 4 hikers completes all the sections of the trail. But that didn’t stop Harvey and his family.
It took Harvey and his family 209 days—about seven months—to complete the entire AT. Every day the family would wake up around 5:30 in the morning. They would have breakfast and pack up their tent(帐篷) and sleeping bags before setting off through the woods. In general, the family hiked about 16 kilometers a day before stopping to set up camp again.
During his days on the AT, Harvey liked to use his imagination, which helped him walk more quickly and have fun. Harvey and his family made friends with other hikers on the trail. Harvey didn’t seem to get tired and enjoyed the hard work of hiking. “My favorite part was the rock climbing,” he says, “because it was so fun and hard.”
Completing the AT taught Harvey and his parents how to work as a team and how to take on challenges together. “We’re closer than ever before because of the experience,” Harvey’s mom said. “If possible, I want to hike the AT again at some point in the future,” Harvey added.
1.For what purpose did the Suttons hike the “AT”
A. To see the fantastic natural scenery together.
B. To prepared Harvey to climb Mount Everest.
C. To make Harvey strong both in body and in mind.
D. To celebrate Harvey’s 5th birthday in a special way.
2.What do the numbers in paragraph 3 illustrate
A. The main features of the AT.
B. The difficulty of hiking the AT.
C. The popularity of climbing the AT.
D. The significance of crossing the AT.
3.What is the typical character of Harvey
A. Brave, curious and talkative.
B. Honest, easy-going and creative.
C. Challengeable, proud and humorous.
D. Adventurous, positive and strong-willed.
4.What does the last paragraph mainly tell us
A. Harvey is going to hike the AT again.
B. It’s important to meet challenges on one’s own.

Parents who want their kids to succeed more than anything are now being sold a high-tech solution. Class 120 is $199-a-year smartphone app that tracks teenagers and alerts parents if the kid isn't in his or her scheduled class.
Is it a good idea for parents to track whether their young adults are in class In short: No. This is a terrible idea.
One of the fundamental purposes of a college is learning to be an independent person. That means learning how to do what needs to be done, whether one particularly feels like doing it or not.
It's easy to see why parents are keen on tracking their kids. A student is admitted to college by a process that focuses mainly on grades and scores. Monitoring grades and scores is easy. The parents may think that:
"Our child is succeeding. We are good parents. We are happy." But grades and scores can't tell everything.
They don't take into account whether their kids have the strength of self-discipline(自律) and the skill needed to care for himself or herself.
Monitoring the development of character is much harder for parents. Character growth happens through encountering(遇到) and learning to deal with disappointments and failure. You never know which problem will be the point for growth.
However, letting kids fail can be really difficult for anxious parents. They believe that success means being perfect and never failing. The truth is that kids need to learn to fail.
College is an ideal place to practice adults' responsibility and independence. Students need to make their own decisions about whether to get out of bed and go to work in the morning.
Maybe your child hasn't learned this lesson by now, but he or she has to learn it sometime. An alarm clock's job is to wake you up, but it does not provide a reason.
1.What's author's attitude toward tracking teenagers
A. Supportive. B.Opposed. C. Indifferent. D. Disappointed.
2.According to the author, what's the most important thing should a college student learn in school
A. Avoiding failure. B.Keeping healthy.
C. Professional knowledge. D. Living independently.
3.What's the author's opinion on failure
A. Failure means that a kid is not good enough.
B.Failure may be the key part of kids' development.
C.Everyone should manage to avoid failure at any time.
D.Failure will bring many negative influences to children.
4.What does the underlined sentence mean in the last paragraph
A. An alarm clock is necessary for a kid.
B. A kid should buy a talking alarm clock.
C. A kid should get up early for learning without any reason.
D.A. kid should always maintain a sense of responsibility and independence.

When Failure Is a Good Thing
Failure is an important process you can learn from. ①_____
Most people view failure as something that should be avoided at all costs. ②_____ It may have been an “F” we received on a paper or the high expectations our parents placed upon our shoulders that stopped us from trying.

While most parents ask their kids, “How was your day " when sitting down for dinner, Sara's parents asked her and her brother, “What did you fail at today ” each and every night.
When interviewed by CNN's Anderson Cooper, Sara said, “Instead of failure being the outcome, failure became not trying. It forced me at a young age to want to push myself so much further out of my comfort zone.” ④_____ It became more about learning and less about a personal weakness.
If we view failure as weakness, we avoid stepping out of our comfort zone. ⑤_____ It does not define us, but instead matures us. I'm sure that there are many risks we would all take in our personal, professional and spiritual lives if we could get past a fear of failure.
What has been the greatest lesson you have learned when taking a chance Please share with us.
A. And, most importantly, it means you tried.
B. Let's take a look at how Sara faced failure.
C. In reality, Sara's father had re-defined failure.
D. Early on, Sara overcame a series of difficulties.
E. Instead, we must remind ourselves that failure is an action.
F. It is important to reflect on what can be learnt from failure.

Both of my parents worked full time so my grandpa often took care of us during holidays. We never really knew what adventure lay before us at Grandpa's. It could be fishing in ponds, or we might hang around his basement or garage that held so many interesting objects. The options were endless.
One day, Grandpa loaded the three of us into his car. And we were headed toward Broadway. I remember coming up to 34th Street. Grandpa talked about gum(口香糖) and asked if any of us wanted some. My grandfather liked chewing gum very much and always had multiple flavors in his pockets. My sister, Charity, seated up front, took a package. Angie, my twin sister, and I were in the back seat. We both voiced our desire to have apiece, too. Grandpa turned around to hand us a package, and to our surprise we were suddenly in the air.
Grandpa's car had climbed the curb(马路牙子). The passenger side was on the curb and the driver's side was still planted firmly on the street. My grandfather quickly turned back and grabbed the wheel. I remember all of us, Grandpa included, screaming as we saw a SPEED LIMIT sign suddenly appear in front of the windshield(挡风玻璃). He only had moments to react. Just as quickly as we had gone up, we came crashing back down. We were headed back toward Broadway, miraculously avoiding running into the metal sign.
I remember Grandpa said to Angie and me, “We'll hold off on the gum for a bit.” We continued to drive up to Broadway and then turned to head east down the main road. We passed Casey Middle School and approached the stoplight that sat there. Grandpa turned around again to pass back a package of gum. I remember trying to reassure Grandpa that we could hold out until the stop light, but Grandpa was not having it. His grandchildren needed gum, and we were going to get it. That's when we hit something solid.
Paragraph 1:
It turned out that we had just hit a bus!

The old man walked around and instructed us patiently. Finally, we put the figurines we made on the table and took pictures with the old craftsman.

Paragraph 1:
It turned out that we had just hit a bus! Grandpa calmly told us to "Stay put" and climbed out of the car. By this time, two men wearing cowboy hats had exited the bus and come to the back of the large vehicle. They approached my grandpa, and all three of them began talking. I watched from the back seat of the car, trying to get any of the conversation I could, but I couldn't hear anything. That's when my twin sister noticed something. "Look!" she pointed to the bus.
Paragraph 2:
"It's Loretta Lynn, a famous singer," I said in surprise. I realized that my grandfather had just run into Loretta Lynn's tour bus. A slight wave came from Loretta Lynn, and my grandfather waved back. It appeared that there was no damage to the bus and also there was no damage to my grandpa's car. At last, my grandpa shook the men's hands and made a final wave to Loretta Lynn. Later, Grandpa went into the car, sighing, "I'll never hand you gum while driving."
