Top cookbooks of 2023
The Wok: Recipes and Techniques by J.Kenji Lopez-Alt
The Wok’s appeal is not innovation; you can find many dishes like Kung Pao Shrimp and Cumin Lamb on many Chinese restaurant menus. But you don’t have to leave your home. As far as I’m concerned, it’s worth the sticker price to learn the techniques.
Turkey and the Wolf: Flavor Trippin’ in New Orleans by Mason Hereford
Chef Mason Hereford has put to paper some of the magic that draws locals and tourists alike to his popular New Orleans sandwich shop, Turkey and the Wolf. The cookbook is full of recipes accessible to home cooks. The meatloaf is my favorite.
Mi Cocina: Recipes and Rapture from My Kitchen in Mexico by Rick Martinez
With seven sections focused on different regions across the country, Rick Martinez guides you through some of the essential recipes for each. The recipes are lovely, but what I love most are the stories alongside each of them. Food is deeply personal and with Mi Cocina, Martinez is sharing his life in food and inviting you to come along.
I Am from Here: Stories and Recipes from a Southern Chef by Vishwesh Bhatt
Western India and the Southern U.S. share more culinary (烹饪的) similarities than you’d think, from rice varieties to fresh tomatoes. Here, these ingredients explode in a delicious combination of seasonings and essential cooking techniques.
1. Whose book provides guidance on Chinese cooking
A. Rick Martinez’s. B. Vishwesh Bhatt’s.
C. Mason Hereford’s. D. J.Kenji Lopez-Alt’s.

Kenji López – Alt(炒锅：J. Kenji López – Alt的食谱和技术)”可知，作者是J. Kenji López-Alt。故选D。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Chef Mason Hereford has put to paper some of the magic that draws locals and tourists alike to his popular New Orleans sandwich shop, Turkey and the Wolf.(厨师梅森·赫里福德(Mason Hereford)将吸引当地人和游客来到他在新奥尔良颇受欢迎的三明治店“火鸡与狼”(Turkey and the Wolf)的一些神奇之处写了下来。)”以及小标题“Turkey and the Wolf: Flavor Trippin’ in New Orleans by Mason Hereford(《火鸡与狼:新奥尔良风味之旅》作者：Mason Hereford)”可知，Turkey and the Wolf是以作者的三明治店命名的。故选B。
【3题详解】

B
I still remember my father’s embarrassment the day when he was invited to have dinner at a colleague’s house. Freshly arriving in Brazil, and not being able to look up on the Internet, he offended his hosts by making a hand gesture — a circle with the thumb and index finger. He had always understood it to mean “OK”, but in Brazil, it meant something different.
The incident was quickly forgotten. My father’s colleague understood that he probably wasn’t yet aware of the local meaning of the gesture. He gently explained it meant something rude, and then it was kept in mind under “things not to be done in Rio”.
I was reminded myself when touring China. After I replied to a friend’s WeChat message with a Van Gogh sticker that I thought meant “keep fighting”, another friend told me I used it wrong.
“The Chinese version is a bit different,” she said, taking out her phone and showing to me. “See these characters They mean ‘I will hit you!’”
Life is full of crossed meanings. In India, you sign to someone to come over with your palm down, not up. And in the Middle East, you never use your left hand for anything public.
As adults, we understand that even if it hurts, a mistake is only an insult (侮辱) when it is made on purpose. Yet, many conflicts come from misunderstanding, and history is full of the unfortunate outcomes of cross-cultural communication.
My father’s pre-Internet Brazilian mistake was forgiven because of context — he had just arrived and he didn’t know its local meaning. But when context is absent or simply differently understood — especially in the social media — perhaps it is time we all think twice before typing or talking, especially when the consequences can be more severe than the misuse of a WeChat sticker.
4. What can be inferred from the author’s father’s story
A. Cultural differences are common. B. The Internet helps to avoid mistakes.
C. Misunderstandings lead to bad results. D. The OK sign means differently in Brazil.
5. What did the author mean to do by using the Van Gogh sticker
A. To greet his friend. B. To threaten his friend.
C. To encourage his friend. D. To make fun of his friend.
6. What might result in if there is no context
A. Forgiveness. B. Cultural gaps. C. Cultural conflicts. D. Mutual(相互的) respect.
7. What could be the best title for the text
A. Tourism and Culture. B. Language and Culture.
C. Verbal Communication. D. Cross-Cultural Communication.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. C 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章中作者结合亲身经历的一些例子，说明了文化差异可能导致误解和冲突。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Freshly arriving in Brazil, and not being able to look up on the Internet, he offended his hosts by making a hand gesture — a circle with the thumb and index finger. He had always understood it to mean “OK”, but in Brazil, it meant something different.(刚到巴西，无法在网上查阅，他做的一个手势——用拇指和食指围了个圈——冒犯了主人。他一直把它理解为“OK”的意思，但在巴西，它的意思不同)”及第二段中的“My father’s colleague understood that he probably wasn’t yet aware of the local meaning of the gesture.(父亲的同事明白，他可能还没有意识到这个手势在当地的含义)”可知，父亲去同事家吃饭是日常生活，就因为一个“OK”手势导致了误会。可推知，父亲的故事表明文化差异很常见。故选A。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“After I replied to a friend’s WeChat message with a Van Gogh sticker that I thought meant “keep fighting”, another friend told me I used it wrong.(我用梵高贴纸回复了一个朋友的微信，我认为这意味着“继续战斗”，另一个朋友告诉我我用错了)”可知，作者打算用梵高贴纸来鼓励他的朋友。故选C。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“But when context is absent or simply differently understood — especially in the social media — perhaps it is time we all think twice before typing or talking, especially when the consequences can be more severe than the misuse of a WeChat sticker.(但当语境缺失或理解不同时——尤其是在社交媒体上——也许我们在打字或说话之前都应该三思而后行，尤其是当后果可能比滥用微信表情包更严重的时候)”可知，如果没有背景或语境时，可能会导致文化冲突。故选C。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，并根据倒数第二段“Yet, many conflicts come from misunderstanding, and history is full of the unfortunate outcomes of cross-cultural communication.(然而，许多冲突源于误解，历史上充满了跨文化交际的不幸后果)”可知，本文作者结合亲身经历的一些例子，说明了文化差异可能导致误解和冲突。故D选项“跨文化交际”最符合文章标题。故选D。
C
Going against the tide of flocking to well-known tourist destinations on vacation, a growing number of holidaymakers in China tend to spend their leisure time at lesser-known attractions. Reverse tourism (逆向旅游) has appeared as a new trend among young holidaymakers in China.
According to data from an online travel agency, the number of rooms booked at hotels in less-traveled cities during the holiday was up 30 percent year-on-year. Bookings for four-star or five-star hotels in less-traveled places all increased ten times at a minimum. Some lesser-known scenic spots posted double-digit (两位数的) growth during the holiday. Baimaiquan Park in Jinan, the capital of Shandong Province, received 52,100 visits in the seven days, up to 15.78 percent year-over-year.
Besides crowds, some vacationers chose less-traveled places to save on the cost of trips to popular destinations. In addition, lesser-known attractions are not as “commercial” as developed ones and are able to offer more actual experiences and natural encounters.
Essentially speaking, total relaxation is becoming a real expectation for many people when they travel. Changes in demand may be the fundamental reason for the popularity of reverse tourism. COVID-19 is another key factor fueling reverse tourism. As preventive measures continue, traveling has an unpredictable quality. Travelers have thus become more cautious and tend to choose local attractions or places with fewer tourists.
“The rise of reverse tourism is not a bad thing,” said Zhengzhou Daily. It means that vacationers now have more options, which brings more possibilities to the tourism market. More importantly, it noted, the trend is set to force popular destinations to improve themselves instead of resting on their past honor.
Jiang Han, a senior researcher, said that reverse tourism will become one of the future directions for the market. To give a real boost to the tourism market, Jiang suggested that more efforts be made to tap the potential of underestimated, lesser-known destinations. It is necessary to dig deeper into the local customs and highlight the local characteristics to improve the quality of local tourism.
8. What do the statistics in paragraph 2 tell us
A. The popularity of travel agency in China.
B. The high income of hotels during holidays.
C. The contributions of tourism to the economy.
D. The increasing trend of reverse tourism in China.
9. What may be the root cause of the rise of reverse tourism
A. The impact of COVID-19.
B. Holidaymakers’ changing needs for travel.
C. The lower cost of heading to less-traveled places.
D. The lack of innovative improvements in famous attractions.
10 What does Zhengzhou Daily think of reverse tourism
A. It will drop with the recovery of economy.
B. It benefits both tourists and the tourism market.
C. It is beneficial to spread local culture to tourists.
D It blocks the development of some popular resorts.
11. What is Jiang Han’s advice on developing the tourism market
A. Upgrading the supporting facilities in tourist areas.
B. Improving the management rules of tourist attractions further.
C. Exploring the potential and features of lesser-known attractions.
D. Promoting the local characteristics of China through online media.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了逆向旅游这一旅游新趋势，分析了其兴起的原因和意义。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段的内容“According to data from an online travel agency, the number of rooms booked at hotels in less-traveled cities during the holiday was up 30 percent year-on-year. Bookings for four-star or five-star hotels in less-traveled places all increased ten times at a minimum. Some lesser-known scenic spots posted double-digit (两位数的) growth during the holiday. Baimaiquan Park in Jinan, the capital of Shandong Province, received 52,100 visits in the seven days, up to 15.78 percent year-over-year. (根据一家在线旅行社的数据，在旅游较少的城市，假期期间酒店预订的房间数量同比增长了30%。在人迹罕至的地方，四星级或五星级酒店的预订量都至少增加了10倍。一些不太知名的景点在假期期间实现了两位数的增长。山东省省会济南的百脉泉公园在7天内接待了52100名游客，同比增长15.78%。)”可知，第二段主要讲的是逆向旅游在中国呈上升趋势。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Besides crowds, some vacationers chose less-traveled places to save on the cost of trips to popular destinations. In addition, lesser-known attractions are not as “commercial” as developed ones and are able to offer more actual experiences and natural encounters. (除了拥挤之外，一些度假者选择人迹少的地方，以节省前往热门目的地的费用。此外，不太知名的景点不像发达景点那样“商业化”，能够提供更多的实际体验和自然接触。)”以及第四段“Essentially speaking, total relaxation is becoming a real expectation for many people when they travel. (从本质上讲，完全放松正在成为许多人旅行时的真实期望。)”可知，度假者不断变化的旅行需求是逆向旅游兴起的根本原因。故选B项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“‘The rise of reverse tourism is not a bad thing,’ said Zhengzhou Daily. It means that vacationers now have more options, which brings more possibilities to the tourism market. More importantly, it noted, the trend is set to force popular destinations to improve themselves instead of resting on their past honor. (《郑州日报》称：‘逆向旅游的兴起并非坏事。’这意味着度假者现在有了更多的选择，这给旅游市场带来了更多的可能性。报告指出，更重要的是，这一趋势将迫使热门旅游目的地改善自身，而不是停留在过去的荣誉上。)”可知，《郑州日报》认为逆向旅游对游客和旅游市场都有好处。故选B项。

细节理解题。根据最后一段“To give a real boost to the tourism market, Jiang suggested that more efforts be made to tap the potential of underestimated, lesser-known destinations. It is necessary to dig deeper into the local customs and highlight the local characteristics to improve the quality of local tourism. (为了真正提振旅游市场，Jiang建议要加大力度开发那些被低估的、不太为人所知的目的地的潜力。要深入挖掘地方风土人情，突出地方特色，提高地方旅游质量。)”可知，Jiang Han建议发现人迹罕至的景点的潜力和特色。故选C项。
D
An increasingly popular way of eating called reducetarianism may sound like a new weight loss trend. But that’s not the goal; instead, reducetarianism is about cutting down the amount of meat you eat and making small changes that are healthy for you and the planet. “But the vast majority don’t want to go vegan”, says Brian Kateman, co-founder of the Reducetarian Foundation. So he has a simple message for us: “Don’t let perfection be the enemy of the good.” Compared with a vegetarian, reducetarians take a more flexible approach that acknowledges challenges of giving up meat entirely but still limits meat when possible.
The opposite side of eating less meat is eating more plant foods. Animal products often replace fresh fruits, vegetables and whole grains, leading to lack of nutrients from them. A more plant-based diet can help lower the risk of health problems including heart disease, colon cancer, and obesity. And research shows the climate impact from raising plant-based foods is less than that caused by animal-based foods. This is largely because it takes much more land, water, and other resources to produce a pound of meat than plant protein, says Dana Ellis, a dietitian.
The type of meat you buy matters too. Grass-fed meat — from animals raised without antibiotics (抗生素) — tend to be the more sustainable options. By grazing, cows encourage grass growth and nutrient turnover in the soil, which may help offset cattle’s climate impact, according to a study published in 2021.
Looking for local produce that requires no air transport and cutting down the food waste are also significant aspects of being a reducetarian. The message of reducetarianism is that you don’t have to be perfect to help yourself and the planet by making small changes in how you eat and shop for food. And that’s something we all can accomplish.
12. What does reducetarianism refer to
A. A new weight loss trend. B. A healthy diet with little meat.
C. An idea of accepting imperfection. D. An approach to being a vegetarian.
13. Why should eating more plant foods be encouraged
A. It ensures all the nutrients needed. B. It does less damage to the environment.
C. It helps to free people from diseases. D. It allows people to obtain more protein.
14. Who is more likely to be a reducetarian according to the passage
A. A meat lover. B. A cow raiser. C. A keen environmentalist. D. A devoted vegetarian.
15. What conclusion can be drawn from the last paragraph
A. Small changes in diet better man and the earth. B. Any quantity of food waste should be avoided.
C. Reducetarianism is something far from perfect. D. Food produced locally can offer more nutrition.
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“减肉主义”的概念以及“减肉主义”这种饮食方式给人类和地球带来的好处。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“But that’s not the goal; instead, reducetarianism is about cutting down the amount of meat you eat and making small changes that are healthy for you and the planet.(但这不是目标；相反，减肉主义是减少你吃的肉的数量，并做出对你和地球有益的小改变)”可知，减肉主义指的是一种少吃肉的健康饮食方式。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“And research shows the climate impact from raising plant-based foods is less than that caused by animal-based foods.(研究表明，种植植物性食物所造成的气候损失比动物性食物所造成的气候损失小)”可知，应该鼓励多吃植物性食物是因为它对环境的破坏较小。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“But that’s not the goal; instead, reducetarianism is about cutting down the amount of meat you eat and making small changes that are healthy for you and the planet.(但这不是目标；相反，减肉主义是减少你吃的肉的数量，并做出对你和地球有益的小改变)”以及第二段“And research shows the climate impact from raising plant-based foods is less than that caused by animal-based foods.(研究表明，种植植物性食物所造成的气候损失比动物性食物所造成的气候损失小)”和第三段“The type of meat you buy matters too. Grass-fed meat — from animals raised without antibiotics ( 抗生素 ) — tend to be the more sustainable options. By grazing, cows encourage grass growth and nutrient turnover in the soil, which may help offset cattle’s climate impact, according to a study published in 2021.(你买的肉的种类也很重要。草饲肉 —— 来自无抗生素饲养的动物 —— 往往是更可持续的选择。根据2021年发表的一项研究，通过放牧，奶牛促进了土壤中的草生长和养分周转，这可能有助于抵消牛对气候的影响。)”可推知，一个热情的环保主义者更有可能成为减肉主义者。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The message of reducetarianism is that you don’t have to be perfect to help yourself and the planet by making small changes in how you eat and shop for food. And that’s something we all can accomplish.(减肉主义的信息是，你不必为了帮助自己和地球而完美，只需在饮食和购买食物的方式上做出微小的改变。这是我们都能做到的)”可推知，饮食上的小变化使人类和地球变得更好。故选A。

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
For most people traveling abroad, their first choice is probably to make a beeline for (直奔) tourist sights. For me, I find lots of joy in grocery (食品杂货店) shopping on holiday.
As a vegetarian (素食主义者) , finding restaurants that meet my needs is not always easy abroad. ____16____ The first thing I do, after dropping my bags off, is to go to a grocery store. That enables me to cook breakfast in the morning without walking around for hours trying to find “vegan breakfast” near me.
The variety of foods attracts me every time I travel somewhere new. In Malta, I found the most delicious chocolate-filled cakes, a product I would struggle to find even in the UK. ____17____ I was so delighted that I could enjoy such an unexpected treat. Another surprise was their selection of ice cream available even in the smallest grocery stores.
____18____ Looking for smoked tofu and corn pancakes turns into quite a mission whenever I visit Cluj-Napoca in Romania. There is usually only one variety of smoked tofu, sold in a very small tub (食品盒) and only in the cafeteria section. ____19____ That is because they are never available at the smaller ones.
Grocery shopping on holiday sounds unusual. But it means being involved in the day-to-day lives of a country’s citizens. I can pretend I am a local and put myself in their shoes. I can watch kids begging their parents for sweets, an international experience that needs no language, or watch couples pick up snacks and drinks for a party on a Friday night. ____20____
A. I ended up eating these every day for breakfast.
B. The challenge of finding food is interesting, too.
C. So I always make sure to book a place with a kitchen.
D. Grocery shopping was a vital part of the holiday experience.
E. It’s an act of understanding people as much as of buying food.
F. Com pancakes always require a trip to the bigger grocery store.
G. By wandering around in a new country, I start to see what they value.
【答案】16. C 17. A 18. B 19. F 20. E

【20题详解】
根据前文“But it means being involved in the day-to-day lives of a country’s citizens. (但它意味着参与一个国家公民的日常生活。)”以及“I can watch kids begging their parents for sweets, an international experience that needs no language, or watch couples pick up snacks and drinks for a party on a Friday night.(我可以看到孩子们向父母乞讨糖果，这是一种不需要语言的国际体验，也可以看到情侣们为周五晚上的派对挑选零食和饮料。)”可知，前文强调通过购物可以体验当地市民的日常生活即作者通过购物能够参与一个国家公民的日常生活。E选项“It’s an act of understanding people as much as of buying food.(这是一种理解他人的行为，就像购买食物一样。)”承接前文，指出通过购物可以让自己像当地人一样融入当地文化的做法。故选E。

Fewer students treat teachers with respect: Children frequently talk back to their teachers and ____28____ their authority (权威). Children ____29____ speak with other adults like waiters in the way as if they were close friends.
Immanuel Kant expressed two ____30____ attitudes still common today in Europe. One is that only humans freely choose to act on principles by ____31____ laws on themselves. It is this mind based on ____32____ that makes humans unique. Second, to learn to follow principles, a human child needs to learn to follow the laws of ____33____. They must practice ____34____ rules before they are able to practice autonomy (自主权). Kant said that “act in the way you want others to act in the situation, taking other people as persons, not ____35____ you use for your own goals”.

第三部分 语言运用
第二节 (共 6 小题;每小题 1.5 分，满分 9 分)
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入 1 个适当单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
The French author Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin once ____36____ (write), “Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you what you are.” Put more ____37____ (simple), this means “You are what you eat.” Most people today relate this saying to healthy eating. However, Brillat-Savarin was actually referring ____38____ our personality, character and culture.
Certainly, in many ways this seems ____39____ (be) true. At a minimum, the kinds of food local people consume tell us what they grow in their region, what kinds of lives they lead, ____40____ what they like and do not like. Could we also say, for example, that those who like bold flavours are bold themselves Or, that those who like spicy food tend to have a hot temper Maybe. Maybe not. What we can say, however, is that culture and cuisine go hand in hand. If you do not experience ____41____, you can never really know the other.
【答案】36. wrote
37. simply 38. to
39. to be 40. and
41. one
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了食物和性格、品格以及文化的关系。
【36题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：法国作家让·安泰尔姆·布里亚-萨瓦兰曾写道：“告诉我你吃的是什么，我就可以说出你是个什么样的人。”根据句中的once可知，这里表示过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时。故填wrote。
【37题详解】
考查副词。句意：简单地说，这句话就是“人如其食”的意思。put simply意为“简单地说”是固定搭配，作状语。故填simply。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意：然而，布里亚-萨瓦兰实际上指的是我们的个性、品格及文化。refer to意为“谈到，提及，指的是”，为固定搭配。故填to。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：当然，在许多方面，这似乎是真的。seem to be...意为“似乎是……”。故填to be。
【40题详解】
考查连词。句意：至少，当地人吃的食物种类告诉我们他们在自己的地区种植了什么，过着什么样的生活，喜欢什么和不喜欢什么。分析句子结构并结合句意，what they grow in their region，what kinds of lives they lead和what they like and do not like为三个并列的宾语从句，应用and连接。故填and。
【41题详解】
考查代词。句意：如果你没有体验过其中一个，你就永远不会真正了解另一个。根据上文中的“culture and cuisine go hand in hand”可知，这里指文化和饮食这二者当中，你只有体验过其中一个，才会了解另一个。one常和the other同时使用，表示两者之中的一个和另一个。故填one。
第四部分写作(共三节，满分 46 分)
第一节 英汉互译(共 4 小题，每小题 1.5 分，满分 6 分)
42. To sum up, one cannot deny the fact that studying abroad has its disadvantages.(英译汉)
【答案】综上所述，我们无法否认的事实是：留学有其弊端。
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语和同位语从句。根据所给英文句子，“To sum up”为固定短语，意为“综上所述”，“one cannot deny the fact”为主句，意为“我们无法否认的事实是”，“that studying abroad has its disadvantages.”为that引导的fact的同位语从句，为fact的具体内容，其中“studying abroad”为动名词作主语，意为“留学”，“has”为谓语，意为“有”，“its disadvantages”为宾语，意为“它的缺点”。故译为：综上所述，我们无法否认的事实是：留学有其弊端。
43. The blue water literally took their breath away with its exceptional beauty. (英译汉)
【答案】那里湛蓝的水美丽异常, 摄人心魄。
【解析】
【详解】考查时态。事情已发生，整句时态用一般过去时，literally (确实地)，take one’s breath away (令人惊叹、让人叹绝)，exceptional (异常、非凡的)，故翻译为：那里湛蓝的水美丽异常，摄人心魄。
44. 这是谢蕾第一次离开中国。(汉译英)
【答案】It was the first time that Xie Lei had left China.
【解析】
【详解】考查固定句型和时态。根据所给中文提示词，“这是谢蕾第一次”可知固定句型：it is/was the first time that意为“第一次做某事”，此处描述已发生的事用一般过去时，that引导定语从句，从句中“谢蕾”作主语，译为“Xie Lei”，“离开”作谓语，在此句型中，从句时态需用完成时，主句用的是一般过去时，所以从句用过去完成时，译为“had left”，“中国”作宾语，译为“China”。故译为：It was the first time that Xie Lei had left China.
45. 适量是关键，生活中万事均如此。(汉译英)
【答案】As with everything in life, moderation is key.
【解析】
【详解】考查名词、形容词和介词短语。句子陈述事实，时态使用一般现在时。根据句意，可以把句子写成主系表结构，主语“适量”用moderation抽象名词，不可数，系动词用is；表语“关键的”用key的形容词词性；“和……一样”用作句子是状语，常用介词短语as with+名词，“生活中万事均如此”翻译为as with everything in life，故翻译为As with everything in life, moderation is key.

47. 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。
“This Radio Two.This is the one o'clock news.A she wolf escaped from the Dorford Zoo this morning and is believed to be still at large in the Dorford area.If hungry the wolf might be dangerous.If anyone sees this animal, please inform the nearest police-station.”
Mrs.Clarke switched the radio off: she wanted to make her middy lunch before her baby woke up.She pushed the pram(婴儿车)into the garden, left it under a tree out of the sun and went into the kitchen.
Then minutes later she came to the back door to see if everything was all right.A big dog was standing by the pram looking at the baby.“That’s the Johnson’s dog.I’ve told them they ought to keep that great animal in their own garden.Those dogs are a bit too much like wolves.”Then Mrs.Clarke went cold.“Wolves.What have I heard about wolves ”She was sure she had heard something about an escaped wolf on the radio.She looked hard at the creature by the pram—and the more she looked the more certain she became.It wasn’t the dog from next door.Like it, but different.It was as big as the dog, but the color was greyer and it looked thinner.
At this moment the creature put its front legs on the side of the pram and looked at the sleeping baby, licking its face.The baby woke up and began to cry quietly.
Mrs.Clarke wanted to scream, but she knew it would be wrong to do that.What should she do “Inform the police,” the radio had said.But that meant leaving the garden and going to the telephone near the front door.She was sure that somehow she must get the wolf away from the prom.The she remembered the piece of meat she had bought.It was on the kitchen table.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;

【答案】Very quietly she slipped into the kitchen and came back with the meat.The wolf was still standing over the pram licking the baby’s face.She threw the meat into a corner under a tree well away from the pram.As the meat hit the ground the wolf looked round.It hesitated for a moment, then left for the meat and began to eat it.Mrs.Clarke stole to the pram and immediately picked up the baby and ran into the kitchen as fast as possible.She sank down into a chair, crying with relief.
Holding the baby to her in the kitchen, she telephoned the police.When the police arrived she told them what had happened, and took them to the kitchen window.The wolf was lying on the grass, still eating the meat.The police said they had sent for a man from the zoo and would arrive in a minute.Five minutes later, two men from the Dorford Zoo came with a net and a small cage.Before long the wolf was safely in the cage and taken away, the rest of the meat still in its mouth.
【解析】
【分析】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了克拉克太太听到收音机里说一只母狼从多尔福德动物园逃了出来，把收音机关掉了，她想在孩子醒来之前做午饭。她把婴儿车推到花园里，把它放在一棵树下，避开阳光，然后走进厨房。几分钟后，她来到后门看看是否一切都好。一只大狗站在婴儿车旁看着婴儿。突然，她想到了收音机里的内容，这不是狗，而是一只狼，婴儿醒了，在小声哭泣，克拉克夫人想尖叫，但她知道那样做是不对的。最终她想起了自己买的那块肉。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“她悄悄地溜进厨房，拿着肉回来了。”可知，第一段可描写克拉克太太用肉营救婴儿的过程。
②由第二段首句内容“她在厨房里抱着孩子给警察打了电话。”可知，第二段可描写接通电话后，警察找动物园的人把狼接走了。
2.续写线索：狼舔着婴儿的脸——克拉克太太扔肉——克拉克太太抱起婴儿——如释重负哭起来——警察到来——工作人员把狼带走

Top cookbooks of 2023
The Wok: Recipes and Techniques by J.Kenji Lopez-Alt
The Wok’s appeal is not innovation; you can find many dishes like Kung Pao Shrimp and Cumin Lamb on many Chinese restaurant menus. But you don’t have to leave your home. As far as I’m concerned, it’s worth the sticker price to learn the techniques.
Turkey and the Wolf: Flavor Trippin’ in New Orleans by Mason Hereford
Chef Mason Hereford has put to paper some of the magic that draws locals and tourists alike to his popular New Orleans sandwich shop, Turkey and the Wolf. The cookbook is full of recipes accessible to home cooks. The meatloaf is my favorite.
Mi Cocina: Recipes and Rapture from My Kitchen in Mexico by Rick Martinez
With seven sections focused on different regions across the country, Rick Martinez guides you through some of the essential recipes for each. The recipes are lovely, but what I love most are the stories alongside each of them. Food is deeply personal and with Mi Cocina, Martinez is sharing his life in food and inviting you to come along.
I Am from Here: Stories and Recipes from a Southern Chef by Vishwesh Bhatt
Western India and the Southern U.S. share more culinary (烹饪的) similarities than you’d think, from rice varieties to fresh tomatoes. Here, these ingredients explode in a delicious combination of seasonings and essential cooking techniques.
1. Whose book provides guidance on Chinese cooking
A. Rick Martinez’s. B. Vishwesh Bhatt’s.
C. Mason Hereford’s. D. J.Kenji Lopez-Alt’s.
2. Which book is titled after its author’s sandwich shop
A. The Wok. B. Turkey and the Wolf.
C. Mi Cocina. D. I Am from Here.
3. What is the similarity between Mi Cocina and I Am from Here
A. They share some stories.
B. They feature Indian and American food.
C. They stress food’s role in connecting cultures.
D. They emphasize the importance of fresh ingredients.
B
I still remember my father’s embarrassment the day when he was invited to have dinner at a colleague’s house. Freshly arriving in Brazil, and not being able to look up on the Internet, he offended his hosts by making a hand gesture — a circle with the thumb and index finger. He had always understood it to mean “OK”, but in Brazil, it meant something different.
The incident was quickly forgotten. My father’s colleague understood that he probably wasn’t yet aware of the local meaning of the gesture. He gently explained it meant something rude, and then it was kept in mind under “things not to be done in Rio”.
I was reminded myself when touring China. After I replied to a friend’s WeChat message with a Van Gogh sticker that I thought meant “keep fighting”, another friend told me I used it wrong.
“The Chinese version is a bit different,” she said, taking out her phone and showing to me. “See these characters They mean ‘I will hit you!’”
Life is full of crossed meanings. In India, you sign to someone to come over with your palm down, not up. And in the Middle East, you never use your left hand for anything public.
As adults, we understand that even if it hurts, a mistake is only an insult (侮辱) when it is made on purpose. Yet, many conflicts come from misunderstanding, and history is full of the unfortunate outcomes of cross-cultural communication.
My father’s pre-Internet Brazilian mistake was forgiven because of context — he had just arrived and he didn’t know its local meaning. But when context is absent or simply differently understood — especially in the social media — perhaps it is time we all think twice before typing or talking, especially when the consequences can be more severe than the misuse of a WeChat sticker.
4. What can be inferred from the author’s father’s story

Going against the tide of flocking to well-known tourist destinations on vacation, a growing number of holidaymakers in China tend to spend their leisure time at lesser-known attractions. Reverse tourism (逆向旅游) has appeared as a new trend among young holidaymakers in China.
According to data from an online travel agency, the number of rooms booked at hotels in less-traveled cities during the holiday was up 30 percent year-on-year. Bookings for four-star or five-star hotels in less-traveled places all increased ten times at a minimum. Some lesser-known scenic spots posted double-digit (两位数的) growth during the holiday. Baimaiquan Park in Jinan, the capital of Shandong Province, received 52,100 visits in the seven days, up to 15.78 percent year-over-year.
Besides crowds some vacationers chose less-traveled places to save on the cost of trips to popular destinations. In addition, lesser-known attractions are not as “commercial” as developed ones and are able to offer more actual experiences and natural encounters.
Essentially speaking, total relaxation is becoming a real expectation for many people when they travel. Changes in demand may be the fundamental reason for the popularity of reverse tourism. COVID-19 is another key factor fueling reverse tourism. As preventive measures continue, traveling has an unpredictable quality. Travelers have thus become more cautious and tend to choose local attractions or places with fewer tourists.
“The rise of reverse tourism is not a bad thing,” said Zhengzhou Daily. It means that vacationers now have more options, which brings more possibilities to the tourism market. More importantly, it noted, the trend is set to force popular destinations to improve themselves instead of resting on their past honor.
Jiang Han, a senior researcher, said that reverse tourism will become one of the future directions for the market. To give a real boost to the tourism market, Jiang suggested that more efforts be made to tap the potential of underestimated, lesser-known destinations. It is necessary to dig deeper into the local customs and highlight the local characteristics to improve the quality of local tourism.

D. The lack of innovative improvements in famous attractions.
10. What does Zhengzhou Daily think of reverse tourism
A. It will drop with the recovery of economy.
B. It benefits both tourists and the tourism market.
C. It is beneficial to spread local culture to tourists.
D. It blocks the development of some popular resorts.
11. What is Jiang Han’s advice on developing the tourism market

An increasingly popular way of eating called reducetarianism may sound like a new weight loss trend. But that’s not the goal; instead, reducetarianism is about cutting down the amount of meat you eat and making small changes that are healthy for you and the planet. “But the vast majority don’t want to go vegan”, says Brian Kateman, co-founder of the Reducetarian Foundation. So he has a simple message for us: “Don’t let perfection be the enemy of the good.” Compared with a vegetarian, reducetarians take a more flexible approach that acknowledges challenges of giving up meat entirely but still limits meat when possible.
The opposite side of eating less meat is eating more plant foods. Animal products often replace fresh fruits, vegetables and whole grains, leading to lack of nutrients from them. A more plant-based diet can help lower the risk of health problems including heart disease, colon cancer, and obesity. And research shows the climate impact from raising plant-based foods is less than that caused by animal-based foods. This is largely because it takes much more land, water, and other resources to produce a pound of meat than plant protein, says Dana Ellis, a dietitian.
The type of meat you buy matters too. Grass-fed meat — from animals raised without antibiotics (抗生素) — tend to be the more sustainable options. By grazing, cows encourage grass growth and nutrient turnover in the soil, which may help offset cattle’s climate impact, according to a study published in 2021.
Looking for local produce that requires no air transport and cutting down the food waste are also significant aspects of being a reducetarian. The message of reducetarianism is that you don’t have to be perfect to help yourself and the planet by making small changes in how you eat and shop for food. And that’s something we all can accomplish.
12. What does reducetarianism refer to
A. A new weight loss trend. B. A healthy diet with little meat.
C. An idea of accepting imperfection. D. An approach to being a vegetarian.
13. Why should eating more plant foods be encouraged
A. It ensures all the nutrients needed. B. It does less damage to the environment.
C. It helps to free people from diseases. D. It allows people to obtain more protein.
14. Who is more likely to be a reducetarian according to the passage
A. A meat lover. B. A cow raiser. C. A keen environmentalist. D. A devoted vegetarian.
15. What conclusion can be drawn from the last paragraph
A. Small changes in diet better man and the earth. B. Any quantity of food waste should be avoided.
C. Reducetarianism is something far from perfect. D. Food produced locally can offer more nutrition.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
For most people traveling abroad, their first choice is probably to make a beeline for (直奔) tourist sights. For me, I find lots of joy in grocery (食品杂货店) shopping on holiday.
As a vegetarian (素食主义者) , finding restaurants that meet my needs is not always easy abroad. ____16____ The first thing I do, after dropping my bags off, is to go to a grocery store. That enables me to cook breakfast in the morning without walking around for hours trying to find “vegan breakfast” near me.
The variety of foods attracts me every time I travel somewhere new. In Malta, I found the most delicious chocolate-filled cakes, a product I would struggle to find even in the UK. ____17____ I was so delighted that I could enjoy such an unexpected treat. Another surprise was their selection of ice cream available even in the smallest grocery stores.
____18____ Looking for smoked tofu and corn pancakes turns into quite a mission whenever I visit Cluj-Napoca in Romania. There is usually only one variety of smoked tofu, sold in a very small tub (食品盒) and only in the cafeteria section. ____19____ That is because they are never available at the smaller ones.
Grocery shopping on holiday sounds unusual. But it means being involved in the day-to-day lives of a country’s citizens. I can pretend I am a local and put myself in their shoes. I can watch kids begging their parents for sweets, an international experience that needs no language, or watch couples pick up snacks and drinks for a party on a Friday night. ____20____
A. I ended up eating these every day for breakfast.
B. The challenge of finding food is interesting, too.
C. So I always make sure to book a place with a kitchen.
D. Grocery shopping was a vital part of the holiday experience.
E. It’s an act of understanding people as much as of buying food.
F. Com pancakes always require a trip to the bigger grocery store.
G. By wandering around in a new country, I start to see what they value.

Later, I worked at a children’s home in Carolina where the children were taught to respect their elders. They ____26____me as “Mr. Vince” and every worker there with a “Mr, Mrs, or Ms.”.

Immanuel Kant expressed two ____30____ attitudes still common today in Europe. One is that only humans freely choose to act on principles by ____31____ laws on themselves.

“This Radio Two.This is the one o'clock news.A she wolf escaped from the Dorford Zoo this morning and is believed to be still at large in the Dorford area.If hungry the wolf might be dangerous.If anyone sees this animal, please inform the nearest police-station.”
Mrs.Clarke switched the radio off: she wanted to make her middy lunch before her baby woke up.She pushed the pram(婴儿车)into the garden, left it under a tree out of the sun and went into the kitchen.
Then minutes later she came to the back door to see if everything was all right.A big dog was standing by the pram looking at the baby.“That’s the Johnson’s dog.I’ve told them they ought to keep that great animal in their own garden.Those dogs are a bit too much like wolves.”Then Mrs.Clarke went cold.“Wolves.What have I heard about wolves ”She was sure she had heard something about an escaped wolf on the radio.She looked hard at the creature by the pram—and the more she looked the more certain she became.It wasn’t the dog from next door.Like it, but different.It was as big as the dog, but the color was greyer and it looked thinner.
At this moment the creature put its front legs on the side of the pram and looked at the sleeping baby, licking its face.The baby woke up and began to cry quietly.
Mrs.Clarke wanted to scream but she knew it would be wrong to do that.What should she do “Inform the police,” the radio had said.But that meant leaving the garden and going to the telephone near the front door.She was sure that somehow she must get the wolf away from the prom.The she remembered the piece of meat she had bought.It was on the kitchen table.
