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.
1. 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.

【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“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.(在墨西哥，海鲜是解宿醉的良药，几乎每个在这里吃饭的人都致力于修复昨晚醉酒造成的损害，并为今天的创造做准备)”可知，昨晚喝醉酒的人最好的选择是Mi Compa Chava。故选C。
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 arrivingg—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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. What did the author think of looking after the tiger cubs at home
A. Boring. B. Tiring. C. Costly. D. Dangerous.
7. 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.
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. C
【解析】

【5题详解】

【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“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.(当Spot和Stripe四个月大的时候，它们已经学会了如何开门和跳过栅栏，我们知道是时候让它们离开了)”以及最后一段“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.(我并不为此难过。我每天都在动物园里亲自和它们在一起，我确实很高兴地回忆起我们拥有它们的时光)”可推知，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，因为动物应该以自己的方式生活。故选C。
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.
8. Which of the following can NOT be used to describe porcelain
A. Transparent. B. Tangible. C. Unfashionable. D. Colorful.
9. 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.
10. What does the underlined word “commodities” in paragraph 5 probably mean
A. Goods. B. Exchanges. C. Gifts. D. Donations.
11. 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
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文简要介绍瓷器的色泽、历史、制造工艺、发展和贸易等。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“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) .(精细的、易碎的、明亮的或透明的。许多年前，黏土与火之间的舞蹈产生了一种有形的艺术品：瓷器)”和第二段中“Going through the fire of reinvention at a high temperature gives porcelain greater strength, more transparency and a feast of colors.(经过高温的再创造之火，瓷器的强度更大，透明度更高，色彩更丰富)”可知，黏土烧制的瓷器可以是透明的、可触摸的和色彩丰富的，但不能说是不时髦的。故选C项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“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.(自夏商朝(公元前21世纪至公元前11世纪)以来，中国各地的窑炉就开始燃烧火焰。在此过程中，瓷器诞生了)”、第三段中“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.(瓷器通常是通过加热原料制成的，通常是中国石和高岭土的混合物，在窑炉中加热温度高达1200摄氏度。温度是制作瓷器的关键。经过高温的再创造之火，瓷器的强度更大，透明度更高，色彩更丰富)”和第四段中“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.(浙江龙泉的青瓷(青瓷)传承了1600多年，是工匠们追求完美绿色光泽的理想典范。龙泉青瓷的翡翠般的绿色需要72道工序才能生产出来。梅绿和浅绿，或天青(雨后天空的颜色)，是最好的两种颜色)”可知，第二、三和四段的主要目的是介绍制作瓷器的历史和方法简介。故选D项。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“Along with China’s silk and tea, porcelain was one of the first commodities to receive worldwide trade.(与中国的丝绸和茶叶一样，瓷器是首批接受全球贸易的commodities之一)”中“Along with China’s silk and tea”和“worldwide trade”可知，句中把瓷器与丝绸和茶叶相提并论，说明瓷器也是全球贸易中的重要“商品”。划线词commodities与goods，意为“商品”。故选A项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段“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) .(精细的、易碎的、明亮的或透明的。许多年前，黏土与火之间的舞蹈产生了一种有形的艺术品：瓷器)”和第五段“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.(瓷器也是文化交流的载体。与中国的丝绸和茶叶一样，瓷器是首批接受全球贸易的商品之一)”可知，文章介绍了瓷器的色泽、历史、制造工艺、发展和贸易等信息。文中描述的瓷器不单是一种艺术品，更是种有着悠久历史的文化遗产，所以“A Living Heritage: Porcelain(活着遗产：瓷器)”是最佳标题。故选B项。
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 bog 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.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. 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.
15. 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.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了位于威斯康星州奇皮瓦湖的一个自然奇观——巨大的漂浮岛屿。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句上文“The island, made up of plants and trees, sometimes floats around the lake, causing a major inconvenience by blocking (阻塞) an important bridge.(这个由植物和树木组成的岛屿有时会漂浮在湖面上，堵塞了一座重要的桥梁，给人们带来了很大的不便)”可知，漂浮岛造成的问题是“堵塞了一座重要的桥梁”。结合划线词所在句下文“Every year, local boat owners work together and push the island away from the bridge.(每年，当地的船主都会齐心协力，把小岛从桥上推开)”可知，当地人们想到的办法(solution)是把漂浮岛推走。故选B项。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段中“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.(奇佩瓦湖诞生于1923年，当时一个巨大的沼泽被洪水改变了。不久之后，许多黑暗的沼泽开始浮出水面，成为植物生长的理想场所，种子被风和野鸟带到这个漂浮的地方。多年来，这些沼泽长出了植物和树木，变成了完整的岛屿。随着时间的流逝，植物生根发芽，最古老的岛屿上甚至有树木，当风吹起时，它们就像船帆一样，将整个漂浮的岛屿移动到湖中)”可知，从第二段我们可以知道漂浮岛是如何形成的。故选A项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中““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.(一位居民说：“这需要整个社区的努力，而且你必须有顺风才能把它们推进来。”移动岛屿也需要精确，因为仅仅将它移动一小段距离就可能导致它在几天内返回。)”可知，推出漂浮岛需要社区的合作和精确。故选B项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Some people have suggested destroying the floating islands to get rid of the problem. However, the big bog 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.(有些人建议摧毁浮岛来解决这个问题。然而，奇佩瓦湖的大沼泽已经存在了很多年，在此期间，各种各样的动物和植物物种都在这里安家。因此，当地政府建议以不伤害野生动物的方式处理它们，更加注重人类便利与环境保护之间的微妙平衡)”可知，当地政府拒绝摧毁这座岛是为了保护岛上的野生动物。故选D项。

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, ____16____
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. ____17____ 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. ____18____ 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 ____19____ 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! ____20____ 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.

上文“Tourism can be both good and bad. Yes, it brings in money for the local economy and creates lots of jobs for locals,(旅游可以是好的，也可以是坏的。是的，它为当地经济带来了资金，为当地人创造了很多就业机会，)”提到了旅游可以有利有弊，且提到了有利的方面，选项C中but是关键词，与上文构成转折关系，所以C选项“但它也可能带来一些问题。”符合语境。故选C项。

【18题详解】
上文“Another big problem in some places has been tourists disturbing (打扰) the local people and life(一些地方的另一个大问题是游客扰乱了当地人民和生活)”提到了打扰当地人民生活得问题，所以E选项“有些游客在没有征得当地人同意的情况下四处游荡并给他们拍照”和上文构成顺承关系。故选E项。

【20题详解】
上文“The only way to solve the problem of the terrible tourist is to make sure that you are not one!(解决这个问题的唯一方法就是确保你不是一个可怕的游客!)”提到了要做一个不可怕的游客，B选项“尽可能做最好、最善良、最有礼貌的游客。”承接上文内容，与上文构成顺承关系，符合语境。故选B项。

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。
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.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
Right then, Henry sensed my embarrassing situation. He immediately came to my aid. He pulled up my skirt and skillfully tied the drawstring with a beautiful knot. Seeing what Henry did for me, something deep in my mind began to change. It seemed as if my cold heart began to melt slowly and my annoyance at him gradually gave way to guilt. I regretted having treated him as a stranger. While my mind was wandering, our performance time came. It turned out a great success, thunderous applause filling the whole theatre.
After the performance, I found Henry and patted him on the arm thankfully. “Thanks,” I said with a grateful smile on my face. 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. “KNOT a problem. You are my sister,” he grinned innocently, saying humorously. Surrounded by the cheerful atmosphere, I felt a flood of warmth of a big family. Maybe it wouldn’t be so bad to have a new person in my corner of the world after all.

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.

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 arrivingg—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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. What did the author think of looking after the tiger cubs at home
A. Boring. B. Tiring. C. Costly. D. Dangerous.

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.
8. Which of the following can NOT be used to describe porcelain
A. Transparent. B. Tangible. C. Unfashionable. D. Colorful.
9. 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.
10. What does the underlined word “commodities” in paragraph 5 probably mean
A. Goods. B. Exchanges. C. Gifts. D. Donations.
11. 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 bog 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.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. 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.
15. 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, ____16____
One growing problem is tourists who want to prove that they have visited a destination.

I have three words for tourists like this: please be considerate. Have fun in a way that doesn’t disturb others.

The only way to solve the problem of the terrible tourist is to make sure that you are not one! ____20____ Remember, whenever you step outside your country’s borders, you are representing (代表) your country to the rest of the world.

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。
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.

After the performance, I found Henry and patted him on the arm thankfully.
