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 transformed the former stables (马厩) of a 19th-century private estate into a working farm restaurant, and guesthouse driven by the principles of regenerative agriculture. More than one hundred varieties of fruits, vegetables, and herbs make their way into Henry’s cooking after being carefully nurtured by Kelly.
Mi Compa Chava—Mexico City
Seafood is a hangover cure 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 the raw half 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 recipe using Japanese ingredients 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 (原料) and cooking techniques he added to the royal cookbooks.

From her classroom window, Aynagul Bagjuli noticed the blooming flowers under the clear blue sky and had an idea. Out in the spring air, Aynagul Bagjuli taught her students “Late Spring,” a classic poem from the Tang Dynasty. The 27-year-old teaches literature at Jamatirki Middle School in Akto County.
Less than three years into her teaching job, Aynagul Bagjuli has won widespread recognition from her colleagues and students for her passion and extraordinary teaching skills. Aynagul Bagjuli is a native of Akto, where over 90 percent of the land is mountainous. Life there is tough.
Aynagul Bagjuli spent her high school years in Wenzhou. Later, she studied at the Capital Normal University in Beijing. She is among more than 100,000 students from Xinjiang’s remote areas to have received better education in the central and eastern regions of China, under a program financed by the central government since 2000. The program, aiming at cultivating (培养) professionals among ethnic groups in Xinjiang, covers part of their tuition and living expenses.
Aynagul Bagjuli’s father died when she was three, leaving her mother to raise three children. “Without the government-sponsored program, I would not have even dreamed of going anywhere outside Xinjiang, let alone attending university in the capital,” she said.
Aynagul Bagjuli gave up several employment opportunities in cities to return to her hometown. Before securing a teaching job in her hometown, she traveled to several cities and villages in different provinces, learning about diverse cultures. She loves sharing her experience with her students and believes this is an effective way to arouse their interest.

B. Aynagul Bagjuli’s Excellent Teaching Skills
C. Aynagul Bagjuli Teaching in Her Hometown after College
D. A Government-sponsored Program Supporting Poor Students

What can you do to recall your dreams more often and interpret them more clearly The experts offer these suggestions:
Develop an idea. Before you go to sleep, consciously think about a topic or a person you’d like to dream about. Raise a question that’s troubling you and see how your dream responds to it.
Keep track. Next to your bed, place a pen and some paper, or a tape recorder or laptop (笔记本电脑), to record your dreams as soon as you wake up.
Try to wake up naturally, without the help of an alarm clock or a barking dog that can interrupt your dream cycle. If your schedule doesn’t allow you to sleep in during the week, begin your dream journey on a weekend or during a vacation.
Wake up slowly. For the first moment after you wake up lie still and keep your eyes closed, because your dream may be connected to your body position while you slept. Try to recall the dream and then store it in your memory by giving it a name like “Late for an Exam” or “My Date with Ashley Judd.” When you rise, immediately write down as many images, feelings and impressions as you can.
Connect the dots. To better interpret your dreams, try to make connections between your recalled dreams and recent events. Do you recognize people from the present or past Can you detect any themes from the dream Look for patterns over several dreams that might help explain an individual dream.
Change the outcome. If you have nightmares happening again and again that make it difficult to sleep, try to change the endings. Once you wake up from a bad dream, imagine a change in the action to create a more positive outcome. If you are trapped, try to fly. In your dream, you can do what you want!
8. The passage advises you to “wake up slowly”________.
A. because dreaming usually happens not long before you wake up
B. so as not to have a nightmare
C. so as not to connect your dreams
D. because sleeping posture may be related to your dream
9. The underlined word “rise” (Paragraph 5) means “________”.
A. come up B. stand up C. get up D. wake up
10. According to the passage, how can you overcome a nightmare
A. Try to imagine you are a superman.
B. Try to forget the nightmare.
C. Try to think about some happy things.
D. Try to create a new ending of the nightmare.
11. In which column of a magazine or newspaper may the article appear
A. Finance. B. Health. C. Sports. D. Politics.
D
A British energy supplier has apologized for the “poorly judged and unhelpful” advice sent to customers which suggested they could snuggle(依偎) up to their pets and exercise to cut back on their heating bills.
SSEwhich is owned by OVO Energy, suggested 10 “simple and cost effective ways to keep warm this winter,” according to the Financial Times. Eating bowls of oatmeal, doing star jumps and cuddling(搂抱) pets were among the recommendations on the now-deleted web page.
In a statement sent to CNN Tuesday, a spokesperson for OVO Energy said, “Recently a link to a blog containing energy saving tips was sent to customers. We understand how difficult the situation will be for many of our customers this year.” The spokesperson added, “We are working hard to find meaningful solutions as we approach this energy crisis, and we recognize that the content of this blog was poorly judged and unhelpful. We are embarrassed and sincerely apologize.”
Some British businesses and households have seen their energy bills rise in recent months, as suppliers deal with a sharp rise in wholesale gas prices. British consumers will pay roughly 790 more to heat and light their homes this year, according to Bank of America. Wholesale European gas prices have jumped by 400% over the previous year and electricity prices have increased by 300%, the bank’s analysts said last week. The increases have been driven by cold weather, nuclear plant outages in France and reduced gas flow from Russia.
According to National Energy Action, more than 4 million UK households are facing fuel poverty—a figure which the charity believes could rise by 2 million in April when a cap(上限) on energy prices is expected to increase.
OVO Energy removed its advice after a wave of angry responses from lawmakers and campaigners(运动参与者). Following the apology, British lawmaker Darren Jones, who chairs Parliament’s business select committee, tweeted: “Good, I’m glad they apologized. I’m not sure who signed off a marketing campaign telling people to wear a jumper and eat porridge instead of turning on the heating if you can’t afford it.”
12. Why did OVO Energy apologize for its advice on the ways of keeping warm sent to customers
A. The ways are too costly.
B. The ways are too simple.
C. The suggestions are difficult.
D. The suggestions are ineffective.
13. Which is the result of the energy crisis for British
A. Energy bills rise too sharply in winter for most UK households.
B. All customers can afford the increasing price of coal.
C. The British government has found meaningful methods to face it.
D. The energy crisis have been driven by cold weather.
14. How did Darren Jones feel about the apology in the last paragraph
A. Nervous. B. Angry. C. Pleased. D. Concerned.
15. Where is this passage probably from
A. A travel brochure. B. A newspaper. C. A health magazine. D. A science fiction.

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。
One holiday, my cousins and I decided to play a trick on my grandma. We planned to do it —not because we didn't like her. She was the sweetest grandma a kid could ever have, and we really loved her. We decided to play the trick just wanting to have some fun. And at that time, to our mind, it was just a harmless little kids' trick.
Early in the evening of that holiday, we began our trick. We secretly walked up to her doorstep with a can of red paint. Grandma was hard of hearing. So we didn't have to worry about being very quiet. Every time we thought about how funny it would be to see Grandma try to pick up a gift that was just painted on her doorstep, we couldn't stop laughing. It didn't take long to finish painting the gift two red roses. It wasn't very artistic. But for us little farm kids and an old woman with poor eyesight, it would do.
As soon as we were satisfied with the painting, we knocked on the door and ran to hide behind bushes and trees to watch the fun. There was a lot of giggling going on as we waited for Grandma to open the door. When she finally appeared, she stood in the doorway for a minute. She looked into the darkness, with her gray hair pulled back tightly into her usual style, wiping her hands on her usual white apron. And she said, “Who could be knocking at my door this hour of the night ” Hearing it, my stomach and cheeks ached from trying to hold back the laughter. Then she looked down at her doorstep. Even from fifteen meters away, we could see the joy that shone in her eyes when she spotted the red gift at her feet.
“Oh, how wonderful!” she called out happily. “A holiday gift for Grandma! I thought I was going to be forgotten again this year!”
注意:
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。
Grandma bent down to pick up her gift.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
At that moment, I regretted playing the trick and wanted to do something to make up for it

What can you do to recall your dreams more often and interpret them more clearly The experts offer these suggestions:
Develop an idea. Before you go to sleep, consciously think about a topic or a person you’d like to dream about. Raise a question that’s troubling you and see how your dream responds to it.
Keep track. Next to your bed, place a pen and some paper, or a tape recorder or laptop (笔记本电脑), to record your dreams as soon as you wake up.
Try to wake up naturally, without the help of an alarm clock or a barking dog that can interrupt your dream cycle. If your schedule doesn’t allow you to sleep in during the week, begin your dream journey on a weekend or during a vacation.
Wake up slowly. For the first moment after you wake up, lie still and keep your eyes closed, because your dream may be connected to your body position while you slept. Try to recall the dream and then store it in your memory by giving it a name like “Late for an Exam” or “My Date with Ashley Judd.” When you rise, immediately write down as many images, feelings and impressions as you can.
Connect the dots. To better interpret your dreams, try to make connections between your recalled dreams and recent events. Do you recognize people from the present or past Can you detect any themes from the dream Look for patterns over several dreams that might help explain an individual dream.
Change the outcome. If you have nightmares happening again and again that make it difficult to sleep, try to change the endings. Once you wake up from a bad dream, imagine a change in the action to create a more positive outcome. If you are trapped, try to fly. In your dream, you can do what you want!
8. The passage advises you to “wake up slowly”________.
A. because dreaming usually happens not long before you wake up
B. so as not to have a nightmare
C. so as not to connect your dreams
D. because sleeping posture may be related to your dream
9. The underlined word “rise” (Paragraph 5) means “________”.
A. come up B. stand up C. get up D. wake up
10. According to the passage, how can you overcome a nightmare
A. Try to imagine you are a superman.
B. Try to forget the nightmare.
C. Try to think about some happy things.
D. Try to create a new ending of the nightmare.

词句猜测题。根据第五段的“Wake up slowly(慢慢醒来。)”可知,本段主要讲的是要慢慢醒来,由划线词后的“immediately write down as many images, feelings and impressions as you can(立即写下尽可能多的图像、感觉和印象)”可知,划线词所在的句子表示“当你起床时,立即写下尽可能多的图像、感觉和印象”,因此rise的意思是“起床”,和get up意思相近,故选C。

A British energy supplier has apologized for the “poorly judged and unhelpful” advice sent to customers which suggested they could snuggle(依偎) up to their pets and exercise to cut back on their heating bills.
SSE,which is owned by OVO Energy, suggested 10 “simple and cost effective ways to keep warm this winter,” according to the Financial Times. Eating bowls of oatmeal, doing star jumps and cuddling(搂抱) pets were among the recommendations on the now-deleted web page.
In a statement sent to CNN Tuesday, a spokesperson for OVO Energy said, “Recently a link to a blog containing energy saving tips was sent to customers. We understand how difficult the situation will be for many of our customers this year.” The spokesperson added, “We are working hard to find meaningful solutions as we approach this energy crisis, and we recognize that the content of this blog was poorly judged and unhelpful. We are embarrassed and sincerely apologize.”
Some British businesses and households have seen their energy bills rise in recent months, as suppliers deal with a sharp rise in wholesale gas prices. British consumers will pay roughly 790 more to heat and light their homes this year, according to Bank of America. Wholesale European gas prices have jumped by 400% over the previous year and electricity prices have increased by 300%, the bank’s analysts said last week. The increases have been driven by cold weather, nuclear plant outages in France and reduced gas flow from Russia.
According to National Energy Action, more than 4 million UK households are facing fuel poverty—a figure which the charity believes could rise by 2 million in April when a cap(上限) on energy prices is expected to increase.
OVO Energy removed its advice after a wave of angry responses from lawmakers and campaigners(运动参与者). Following the apology, British lawmaker Darren Jones, who chairs Parliament’s business select committee, tweeted: “Good, I’m glad they apologized. I’m not sure who signed off a marketing campaign telling people to wear a jumper and eat porridge instead of turning on the heating if you can’t afford it.”
12. Why did OVO Energy apologize for its advice on the ways of keeping warm sent to customers
A. The ways are too costly.
B. The ways are too simple.
C. The suggestions are difficult.
D. The suggestions are ineffective.
13. Which is the result of the energy crisis for British
A. Energy bills rise too sharply in winter for most UK households.
B. All customers can afford the increasing price of coal.
C. The British government has found meaningful methods to face it.
D. The energy crisis have been driven by cold weather.
14. How did Darren Jones feel about the apology in the last paragraph
A. Nervous. B. Angry. C. Pleased. D. Concerned.
15. Where is this passage probably from
A. A travel brochure. B. A newspaper. C. A health magazine. D. A science fiction.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. B
【解析】

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。
One holiday, my cousins and I decided to play a trick on my grandma. We planned to do it —not because we didn't like her. She was the sweetest grandma a kid could ever have, and we really loved her. We decided to play the trick just wanting to have some fun. And at that time, to our mind, it was just a harmless little kids' trick.
Early in the evening of that holiday, we began our trick. We secretly walked up to her doorstep with a can of red paint. Grandma was hard of hearing. So we didn't have to worry about being very quiet. Every time we thought about how funny it would be to see Grandma try to pick up a gift that was just painted on her doorstep, we couldn't stop laughing. It didn't take long to finish painting the gift two red roses. It wasn't very artistic. But for us little farm kids and an old woman with poor eyesight, it would do.
As soon as we were satisfied with the painting, we knocked on the door and ran to hide behind bushes and trees to watch the fun. There was a lot of giggling going on as we waited for Grandma to open the door. When she finally appeared, she stood in the doorway for a minute. She looked into the darkness, with her gray hair pulled back tightly into her usual style, wiping her hands on her usual white apron. And she said, “Who could be knocking at my door this hour of the night ” Hearing it, my stomach and cheeks ached from trying to hold back the laughter. Then she looked down at her doorstep. Even from fifteen meters away, we could see the joy that shone in her eyes when she spotted the red gift at her feet.
“Oh, how wonderful!” she called out happily. “A holiday gift for Grandma! I thought I was going to be forgotten again this year!”
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;

Grandma bent down to pick up her gift.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
At that moment, I regretted playing the trick and wanted to do something to make up for it
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Para. 1:
Grandma bent down to pick up her gift. This was the moment we had been waiting for. But somehow it wasn’t as much fun as we had expected. Confused, Grandma touched the fresh paint for a moment. She quickly became aware of our kids’ childish trick. Her delight at having been remembered by a sweetheart on Sweetheart’s Day was short-lived. She tried to smile to hide the embarrassment. Then, with as much dignity as she could gather, she turned and walked back into her house, absently wiping the red paint on her clean, white apron.
Para. 2:
At that moment, I regretted playing the trick and wanted to do something to make up for it. Soon an idea occurred to me. I would send a real gift to Grandma on another important holiday that was approaching—Thanksgiving Day. The day after we kids made the trick, I began to prepare for the real gift for Grandma. I saved my pocket money. Using it, I bought roses and snacks Grandma loved, and I put them into a beautiful box. When Thanksgiving Day finally came, I happily marched into Grandma’s house, with the box in my hands.
