2023 Hot List: The Best New Restaurants in the World
Place des Fêtes—New York City
This famous wine bar provides a spot with a rare sweet and warm atmosphere. For date night, go to the bar with views of the open kitchen, or fill up the large table in the back with a group and taste the entire 20-item menu. Either way, do not miss the famous mushroom soup.
Le Doyenné—Saint-Vrain, France
Australian chefs James Henry and Shaun Kelly changed a 19th-century private estate (私人庄园)into a working farm, restaurant, and guesthouse driven by the principles of regenerative agriculture. More than one hundred varieties of fruits, vegetables, and herbs (草药) make their way into Henry’s cooking after being carefully prepared by Kelly.
Mi Compa Chava —Mexico City
Seafood is a hangover cure (宿醉疗法) in Mexico, and almost everyone eating here is devoted to fixing last night’s damage from drunkenness and getting a head start on creating today’s. On the sidewalk, crowds of locals and tourists alike line up for fisherman Salvador Orozco’s creative takes on Sinaloa and Baja seafood. Anything from just of the menu is a sure bet, though cooked dishes like fish can help fill out a meal.
Vilas—Bangkok
Can a dish inspired by a Spanish cooking using Japanese ingredients (原料) still be considered Thai For Chef Prin Polsuk, one of Bangkok’s most famous Thai chefs, it most certainly can. At his latest restaurant, a small dining room at the base of Bangkok’s landmark King Power Mahanakhon Tower, he draws inspiration from King Chulalongkorn’s 1897 journey around Europe and the foreign ingredients and cooking skills he added to the royal cookbooks.
21. What can people do at Place des Fêtes
A. To view the scenery of New York City. B. To cook in the open kitchen.
C. To taste Baja seafood. D. To enjoy a meal with close friends.
22. Who adds herbs to his cooking
A. James Henry. B. Shaun Kelly. C. Salvador Orozco. D. Prin Polsuk.
23. What is the best choice for people who were drunk last night
A. Place des Fêtes. B. Le Doyenné. C. Mi Compa Chava. D. Vilas.
B
I have worked as a keeper at the National Zoo for 11 years. Spot and Stripe are the first tiger cubs (幼兽) that have ever been born here. Globally, a third of Sumatran cubs in zoos don’t make it to adulthood, so I decided to give them round-the-clock care at home.
I’ve got two children --the younger one, Kynan, was extremely happy about the tigers arriving --but all of us really looked forward to being part of their lives and watching them grow. I wasn’t worried about bringing them into my home with my wife and kids. These were cubs. They weighed about 2.5kg and were so small that there was absolutely no risk (风险).
As they grew more mobile, we let them move freely around the house during the day, but when we were asleep we had to contain them in a large room, otherwise they’d get up to mischief (捣蛋). We’d come down in the morning to find they’d turned the room upside down, and left it looking like a zoo.
Things quickly got very challenging due to the huge amount of energy required to look after them. There were some tough times and I just felt extremely tired. I was grateful that my family was there to help. We had to have a bit of a production line going, making up “tiger milk”, washing baby bottles, and cleaning the floors.
When Spot and Stripe were four months old, they were learning how to open doors and jump fences, and we knew it really was time for them to go. It was hard for us to finally part with them. For the first few days, Kynan was always a bit disappointed that the cubs weren’t there.
I’m not sad about it. I’m hands-on with them every day at the zoo, and I do look back very happily on the time that we had them.
24. Why did the author decide to take good care of the tiger cubs at home
A. To let them play with his kids. B. To observe their differences.
C. To teach them life skills. D. To allow them to live long.
25. What did the author want to show in paragraph 2
A. his two children are both extremely happy about the tigers arriving.
B. he was worried about taking care of the cubs.
C. there was no risk of living with so small tiger cubs.
D. not all of his family looked forward to watching cubs grow.
26. What did the author think of looking after the tiger cubs at home
A. Boring. B. Tiring. C. Costly. D. Dangerous.
27. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs
A. All things must come to an end. B. We should love our small friends- cubs.
C. Animals should live in their own way. D. Animal protection is beyond control.
C
Fine, crisp and clear or transparent. Many years ago, a dance between clay and fire gave rise to a tangible piece of art: porcelain (瓷器) .
Flames in kilns (窑) around China have been burning since the Xia and Shang dynasties (21st century-11th century BC). Along the way, porcelain was born.
Porcelain is generally made by heating raw materials, often a mix between China stone and kaolin clay, in a kiln at a temperature as high as 1,200 degree Celsius. Temperature is key to making porcelain. Going through the fire of reinvention at a high temperature gives porcelain greater strength, more transparency and a feast of colors.
Celadon (青瓷) produced in Longquan, Zhejiang province, a heritage passed down for more than 1,600 years, is a great example of craftsmen’s dream of the perfect green glint. It takes 72 steps to produce Longquan celadon’s jade-like green. Plum green and light green, or tianqing (the color of the sky after a rain), are two colors of the best quality.
Porcelain has also been a carrier for cultural exchanges. Along with China’s silk and tea, porcelain was one of the first commodities to receive worldwide trade.
As it travelled around the globe through the ancient Maritime Silk Road, porcelain was well received among royal families and upper classes in Europe, who were impressed by these beautiful vessels they named after China, a product that could be produced only in the far East.
28. Which of the following can NOT be used to describe porcelain
A. Transparent. B. Tangible. C. Unfashionable. D. Colorful.
29. What is the main purpose of paragraphs 2, 3 and 4
A. To tell the materials used in making porcelain.
B. To explain the the process of making porcelain.
C. To stress the high temperature is key to making porcelain.
D. To present the history and brief ways of making porcelain.
30. What does the underlined word “commodities” in paragraph 5 probably mean
A. Goods. B. Exchanges. C. Gifts. D. Donations.
31. Which can be the best title for the text
A. A Carrier for Cultural Exchanges B. A Living Heritage: Porcelain
C. A Piece of Colourful Art: Porcelain D. A Vessel Popular among Upper Classes in Europe
D
Within the beautiful scenery of Wisconsin’s Lake Chippewa lies a natural wonder that is a unique challenge for the local community. This hidden wonder is exactly a giant floating island. The island, made up of plants and trees, sometimes floats around the lake, causing a major inconvenience by blocking (阻塞) an important bridge Later, the local people came up with a solution to this problem Every year, local boat owners work together and push the island away from the bridge.
Lake Chippewa was born in 1923 when a vast bog (沼泽) was changed through flooding. Soon after that, many of the dark bogs started rising to the surface and became perfect growing places for plants, with seeds carried by wind and wild birds to this floating place. Over the years, these bogs have grown plants and trees and turned into full islands. As time goes by, plants take root, and the oldest islands even have trees that act as sails (船帆) when the wind blows, moving the entire floating island around the lake.
Although the years-old floating island does not relocate (重新迁移) so often, when it does, it causes trouble for the community by blocking the important bridge that serves as the only passage between the lake’s East and West sides. The only solution is to gather a group of boats, and not just one or two, but dozens of boats working together to push the island away. “It takes a community’s effort, and you must have the winds at your back to push them in,” said a resident. Moving the island also requires precision(精确), as just relocating it a short distance may result in its return within days.
Some people have suggested destroying the floating islands to get rid of the problem. However, the big bo g in Lake Chippewa has been around for many years, and during that time a variety of animal and plant species have made it their home. Therefore, local government advises they be dealt with in a way that won’t do harm to wildlife, paying more attention to the fine-drawn balance between human convenience and environmental protection. The annual tradition of relocating Lake Chippewa’s floating island is evidence to the coexistence of man and nature, a heartwarming display of community unity, and a reminder of the importance of preserving the unique areas that enrich our world.
32. What does the underlined word “solution” in paragraph 1 refer to
A. Building a new bridge. B. Moving the floating island away.
C. Transforming the vast bog. D. Rebuilding the local community.
33. What can we know from paragraph 2
A. The formation of the floating island. B. The history of flooding in Lake Chippewa.
C. The varieties of species in Lake Chippewa. D. The impact of the wind on the floating island.
34. Which of the following statements is true about the relocation work from paragraph 3
A. It is usually finished within days.
B. It is a must in cooperation and precision.
C. It can only be carried out during windless days.
D. It greatly disturbs the community residents’ lives.
35. Why has the local government refused to destroy the island
A. To save costs for local people. B. To ensure the safety of residents.
C. To improve the bond between communities. D. To protect the wildlife species on the island.

BE A GOOD TOURIST
Tourism can be both good and bad. Yes, it brings in money for the local economy and creates lots of jobs for locals, 36
One growing problem is tourists who want to prove that they have visited a destination. Tourists have used paint, rocks, or even keys to write on the LUXOR Temple in Egypt, the Colosseum in Rome, Stonehenge in the UK, Memorial stones at the bottom of Qomolangma, and many, many other places. 37 I have three words for people like this: Please stop it. If you want to leave a mark on the world, do it by changing someone’s life with kindness and love. Pass kindness along to future generations, not destruction (破坏).
Another big problem in some places has been tourists disturbing (打扰) the local people and life. 38 For example, Chiang Mai University in Thailand and Yonsei University in South Korea have great numbers of tourists visiting their campuses and walking through their libraries and other public areas, taking pictures of students, and disturbing their studies 39 Some tourists love to party there late into the night, making it difficult for locals to sleep. I have three words for tourists like this: please be considerate. Have fun in a way that doesn’t disturb others.
The number of problems from tourists is endless: Walking in large groups without considering others who need to walk by, crossing roads without thinking of local traffic laws, and many more. The only way to solve the problem of the terrible tourist is to make sure that you are not one! 40 Remember, whenever you step outside your country’s borders, you are representing (代表) your country to the rest of the world.
A. Another example is Sanlitun, a neighborhood in Beijing, China.
B. Be the best, kindest, most polite tourist possible.
C. but it may also bring some problems.
D. Thousands of tourist sites are being destroyed by tourists who “love them to death”.
E. Some tourists wander around and take pictures of local people without asking for their permission.
F. It’s high time that we should behave ourselves and protect tourist sites.
G. but it also has many side effects.

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。
I was in my room, feeling unwilling to head to the community theatre with “my brother” Henry. He had recently been adopted (收养) by my parents and I was not in the mood for being onstage with him.
“Kirstie, come here,” my mom called. Following her voice, I found her outside the bathroom, holding a wet book. She gave the book a shake. “Henry’s book was in the bathtub. Did you put it there ” She looked at me angrily, something she had never done before Henry came to our home. I hadn’t wet his book on purpose. Raindrops fell from my eyes. To make matters worse, she promised to buy him a new copy. My heart ached. Henry was stealing my mother’s love. He was ruining my life.
Meanwhile, Henry was nearby, concentrating on working on a complicated rope knot (绳结),something he liked to do. Why did a boy like him like doing girl y work It seemed far from manly (男子汉气概).
Soon, it was time to set off to the community theatre. As Henry walked ahead of us to the car, my mom took me aside and said in a low voice, “It will be Henry’s first time onstage. Be kind to him, honey.” I nodded but sighed (叹气). I hadn’t always found it so difficult to be kind. But since Henry had moved in, everything felt different. The theatre used to be a special place for my parents and me. With Henry along, it didn’t seem so special any more.
Finally, it was our stage time. My heart beat wildly. I forgot my annoyance at Henry for a while. As we kids lined up, ready to act out our short play, I realized how loosely (松散地) I had tied the drawstring (拉绳) on my skirt. Sure enough, my skirt began to drop. I could hear the audience laughing. Even though I was wearing shorts under my skirt, I could feel my face burst into flames. However, my hands were full. If only someone could help me out.
续写要求:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Right then, Henry sensed my embarrassing situation. ________________________________________________

Dear Alex,
Since you’re obsessed with traditional Chinese culture, I am writing to invite you to attend a lecture about Learning about the Chinese Writing System.
The lecture, aimed at inheriting the root of us Chinese people and carrying forward the heart and the soul, is scheduled at the Students’ Hall at 2 pm this Sunday. It will be given by Mr Li, a learned Chinese teacher, who will introduce the history and development of the written Chinese as well as the ways in which we can protect and spread the Chinese culture. Besides, he will further stress the importance of using it correctly. I think the lecture can help us have a better understanding of the written Chinese and develop a correct writing attitude.
I do hope you can join me. Please write back soon and let me know whether you will come.
Yours,
Li Hua

Right then, Henry sensed my embarrassing situation. He rushed to me, pulled up my skirt and tied the drawstring with a beautiful knot. Shocked by what he had done, I felt something deep in my mind began to change. It seemed as if his kind deeds had melted my heart. Thinking about what I had done to him, I felt ashamed of myself. While I was lost in thought, the music took me back to reality. We edged to the stage and started our performance. It turned out a great success, and the audience broke into loud applause.
After the performance, I found Henry and patted him on the arm thankfully. “Thank… you, Henry.” My voice trembled with my face burning. I had to admit that, but for his timely help, I would have been extremely embarrassed. Without his knotting skill, the performance would have been quite different. “We are family,” he said, his blue eyes twinkling. Hearing his words, I was overwhelmed by a feeling of warmth so I hugged him tightly. At the same time, I realized that it was not bad to have a new person in my corner of the world and the theatre was still a special place for me.

M: There are so many people here. I wonder if we will see him in the building.
W: He told me that he would be wearing a black and gray hat.
M: Well, that definitely narrows it down.
(Text 3)
M: I think this shirt is much prettier, don’t you
W: Well, I don’t know. Why do you prefer it
M: It is not as expensive and the design is more interesting. But above all, the color is brighter and more becoming to me.
(Text 4)
W: This new printer is really hard to use. Maybe we should test it for a few days before we decide to buy it.
M: It’s sure not most user- friendly.

M: I didn’t expect Fred to play football so well.
W: In fact, he used to be a top player in his university days.
M: Really I can hardly believe it.

M: 6 Is that all I guess The Angel must have more than 6 customers.

W: Hello, everyone. Welcome to the sixth of our programs. This week’s program is called Moving Out and we have Brian today.
So, Brian, how long has it been since you moved out
M: I moved out from four months ago, but it wasn’t what you might call a clean break. I didn’t move out all at once. I did it gradually and spent most of the week with my parents at first. I started by spending the weekends at my new flat so that I could get used to living alone slowly. My parents were really understanding when I told them where I wanted to move. You see, I wanted to go somewhere quiet ---a place where I could paint.
W: Finally, I’d like to ask you some advice you would give to a teenager who was thinking of leaving home.
M: I believe that the point is to have a good reason for leaving home and don’t just move because you just want to move. I mean you shouldn’t do it just because it sounds like fun.
(Text 10)
M: I’ve always enjoyed listening to music. It helps me calm down after a busy day. Instead of jazz, I like many different kinds of music, such as rock, R&B- depending on how I feel. Last year I went to a pop festival. It lasted for three days, so we decided to camp on the field provided by the concert organizers.
The weather was awful and it rained all weekend. We were all wet! Anyway, the concert continued paying no attention to the weather. The organizers advised us to keep to the special walkways that they had set up and gave us some plastic raincoats to put over our tents.
Although the weather was bad, the music was great. I particularly enjoyed some of the supporting bands---I always find that they perform better than the main stars. It’s probably because this is their great chance to get their music heard. It is a great pleasure to go to the pop festival, but I wish I had booked into a hotel rather than decide to sleep in a tent!

人与自然一与动物相处。
【解析】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者为了确保两只老虎幼崽的存活,决定在家里不分昼夜的
照顾它们。介绍了老虎在作者家生活的情况以及作者照顾老虎的感受。
24. D. 细节理解题。通过文章第一段 Globally, a third of Sumatran cubs in zoos don’t make it to adulthood, so I decided to give them round-the-clock care at home. 在全世界范围内, 动物园里饲养的苏门答腊虎幼崽有三分之一无法成年,因此我决定在家里给他们不分昼夜的照顾。由此句可见作者把幼虎带到家里养育是担心它们夭折。
25. C. 细节理解题。根据文章第二段内容和句子 They weighed about 2.5kg and were so small that there was absolutely no risk.可推知, 和小虎崽一起生活是没有风险的。
26. B. 推理判断题。第四段第二句“There were some tough times and I just felt extremely tired.”有几段日子过得很辛苦,我感觉特别累。 可见作者认为照顾幼虎是很令人疲惫的。
27. C.推理判断题。第五段第一句“When Spot and Strip e were four months old, they were learning how to open doors and jump fences, and we knew it really was time for them to go.”当点点和纹纹四月大的时候,他们学习如何开门和翻越栅栏,我知道是时候让它们离开了。 由此可见幼虎已经很难再被控制住了,所以作者把它们送回了动物园。第六段进一步写作者对这一决定的肯定。从而得知“ Animals should live in their own way”动物应该以自己的方式生活。对老虎来说这不是结束, 是新生活的开始,A 项; 天下没有不散的筵席。不符合本文表达的情感基调。

主题语境:人与社会—中国文化
本文是说明文。今天国人和欧洲上流社会所喜欢的瓷器流传了 1600多年,本文简要介绍瓷器的历史,发展,制造,色泽等。
28. C. 细节理解题。从第二段和第六段的“porcelain was well received among royal families and upper classes in Europe”瓷器在中国和欧洲仍然受欢迎, 而不是过时。
29. D. 概括总结。第二段讲瓷器的历史,第三段讲瓷器制作过程,第四段讲瓷器的制作工艺,所以总结为简单介绍其历史和制作 To present the history and brief ways of making porcelain.
30 A 词义猜测。结合划线句 the first commodities to receive worldwide trade 中后置定语“接受全球贸易”可知,这个词理解为“商品”
31. B. 理解主旨要义。本文主要讲瓷器的发展和制作以及现在的状况。A,C,D 答案以偏概全,或者有失偏颇。
D篇
主题语境:人与自然——自然地理与生物
本文是说明文。美国威斯康星州北部的奇珀瓦湖是当地著名的湖泊,然而它的独特之处并不在于其优美的景色,而在于湖中多个大小不一的浮岛。其中最著名的一座浮岛面积高达十六万平方米。这座岛屿被植被所覆盖,每当起风时,岛上的树木便充当了帆的作用,使岛屿得以在湖泊周围游荡。本文介绍这些浮岛是如何形成的以及它们与当地居民的生活又有着怎样的联系。
32. B. 推理判断题。根据第一段的问题是“blocking (阻塞) an important bridge”, 以及最后一句“local boat owners work together and push the island away from the bridge.”可知未解决阻塞桥的问题, 当地船主必需把岛移走。
33. A. 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“in 1923 when a vast bog (沼泽)…. Soon after that, many of the dark bogs started rising… Over the years, these bogs have grown ... and turned into full islands”以时间线索讲述了漂浮岛的形成。
34. B. 细节理解。根据第三段中的“It takes a community’s effort, and you must have the winds at your back to push them in," said a resident. Moving the island also requires precision(精确)。由此可知, 漂浮岛的搬迁工作需要整个社区的努力和精准。
35. D. 细节理解。根据最后一段的 Therefore, local government advises they be dealt with in a way that won’t do harm to wildlife, paying...可知地方当局建议在处理漂浮岛的问题上不能对野生动物造成负面的影响。
七选五
这是一篇说明文。文章通过举例说明两大对旅游景点产生破坏的问题,提出虽然游客的问题很多,但我们要努力做一名好游客,因为一旦走出国门,你代表的不仅仅是自己,你还是祖国的一张名片。
36. C. 上文“Tourism can be both good and bad. Yes, it brings in money for the local economy and...”旅游可以有利,也可以有弊,好的一面是挣钱,但是不好的是会带来一些问题。与上文是转折关系,故选C项。
37. D. 本题上一句是“Tourists have used paint, rocks, or even keys to write on the...”写游客在许多世界著名景点用油漆, 石头甚至钥匙乱写乱画。 下一句“I have three words for people like this: Please stop it.” 写作者对他们的告诫。所以本句应该是承上启下,写景点正在被损害。 故选 D项。
38. E. 本段中心句第一句“Another big problem in some places has been tourists disturbing (打扰) the local people and life,”所以本句是对主题句的解说的其中的一个方面;未经允许拍照。然后39 题下文中是另一个方面; 噪音扰民。 故选 E 项。
39. A.见 38题。本段前面有“For example, Chiang Mai University in Thailand...”本段是总分式结构, 两个例子都是对本段中心句的解说。故选 A 项。
40. B. 本题上一句 The only way to solve the problem of the terrible tourist is to make sure that you are not one! 解决可怕的旅游问题的唯一办法就是确保你不是其中一员,所以尽可能做最好、最善良、最有礼貌的游客。和上句是承接关系。故选 B 项。

作文第一节(满分 15 分)
Dear Alex,
Since you’re obsessed with traditional Chinese culture, I am writing to invite you to attend a lecture about Learning about the Chinese Writing System.
The lecture is scheduled at the Students’ Hall at 2 pm this Sunday whose aim is to inherit the root of us Chinese people and carry forward the heart and the soul. It will be given by Mr Li, a learned Chinese teacher, who will introduce the history and development of the written Chinese as well as the ways in which we can protect and spread the Chinese culture. Besides, he will further stress the importance of using it correctly. I think the lecture can help us have a better understanding of the written Chinese and develop a correct writing attitude.
I do hope you can join me. Please write back soon and let me know whether you will come.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节短文续写
possible version.
Right then, Henry sensed my embarrassing situation. He rushed to me, pulled up my skirt and tied the drawstring with a beautiful knot. Shocked by what he had done, I felt something deep in my mind began to change. It seemed as if his kind deeds had melted my heart. Thinking about what I had done to him, I felt ashamed of myself. While I was lost in thought, the music took me back to reality. We edged to the stage and started our performance. It turned out a great success, and the audience broke into loud applause.
After the performance, I found Henry and patted him on the arm thankfully. “Thank…you, Henry.” My voice trembled with my face burning. I had to admit that, but for his timely help, I would have been extremely embarrassed. Without his knotting skill, the performance would have been quite different. “We are family,” he said, his blue eyes twinkling. Hearing his words, I was overwhelmed by a feeling of warmth so I hugged him tightly. At the same time, I realized that it was not bad to have a new person in my corner of the world and the theatre was still a special place for me.

第一段中 Henry 对“我”的帮助以及第二段 Henry 对“我”说的话都点名了文章的主题:家人之间要相互理解和支持。
冲突:“我”和父母收养的孩子 Henry 之间产生隔阂。
行动:Henry 在“我”遇到困难时帮助了“我”。
解决:“我”意识到自己之前错误的思想和行为,主动改善与 Henry 的关系。
