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.

China is one of the largest producers and consumers of watermelon in the word. And Wu Mingzhu, a schoolmate of Yuan Longping at Southwest Agricultural College in Chongqing in the late 1940s, is the unsung hero who has helped make this possible.
“It's safe to say that about 80 percent of more than 2,000 of China's new seed types of watermelons and sweet melons at people's dining tables every day are the result of great efforts made by Wu and her team over more than 60 years,” said a colleague of Wu's.
In 1955, Wu voluntarily went to work in Shanshan County, Turpan Basin in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region where working conditions were hard. In 1958, Wu began to promote the modern technology of planting melons among farmers. However, the local farmers who were used to folk planting methods, didn't seem to willingly accept that. With the help of a famous local melon expert, Wu opened up three acres of wasteland to plant melon according to scientific knowledge. When autumn arrived, local farmers found the melons Wu planted in a scientific way were particularly delicious. From then on, the farmers began to adopt Wu's scientific growing methods.
Wu's efforts to grow quality melons began paying off in 1973 when she went to the off-season (淡季的) planting base in Hainan. She wanted to develop Hainan as a pilot area so that the south area of China could also grow melons, and realize the dream of three-matured or even four-matured melons. After numerous difficulties, finally in the 80s, the melon variety selected by Wu succeeded Wu said, “In Xinjiang, there are thousands of science and technology workers like me. They have worked hard for decades on the front line of agriculture. I'm just one of the ordinary ones.”
Now dealing with Alzheimer's disease, Wu is often unable to recognize her former colleagues or even her family members who live by her side. But having worked day and night to plant new seed types since the 1950s, she can still remember her melon work.
24. What does Wu's colleague want to say according to Paragraph 2
A. People make profits from planting watermelons.
B. Wu is delighted to see melons at people's dining tables.
C. Wu has made great contributions to planting watermelons.
D. China is the largest consumer of watermelon in the world.
25. What can we infer from Paragraph 3
A. Local farmers trusted Wu at first.
B. Wu failed to spread her technology.
C. A local expert improved Wu's methods
D. Wu's technology worked in Turpan Basin.
26. Why did Wu choose Hainan as a planting base
A. To attract more watermelon consumers.
B. To earn more money by selling more melons.
C. To guide the local farmers to grow watermelons.
D. To improve the speed and efficiency of breeding.
27. What is the passage mainly about
A. Wu Mingzhu's lifestyle. B. Wu Mingzhu's new discovery.
C. A devoted watermelon scientist. D. The technology of melon growing.
C
According to new studies, many birds in the Amazon rainforest have become smaller as temperatures have increased. The difference hasn't been obvious, but it has been significant enough that some scientists have suggested it's a universal response to climate change.
But new research finds that the body size reductions aren't happening across the board with some large-brained birds having much less significant changes.
For the study, researchers studied some data on about 70,000 birds that had died when they crashed into buildings in Chicago from 1978 to 2016. They added data on brain volume and lifespan (寿命) for 49 of the 52 species of migratory birds (候鸟) in the original study.
They found that birds with very large brains had reductions in overall body size that were about one-third of the reductions noted in birds with smaller brains. They thought that in birds, the species with big brains are the ones that build tools, manage to survive in tough environments, live longer, invest more time and energy into raising babies, and end up surviving better in the wild
Researchers aren't certain exactly how warmer temperatures might lead to decreasing body size in birds, but they are considering two possible explanations, which could even be happening at the same time. First, natural selection might be favoring birds that can dissipate heat better. This is because smaller birds have higher ratios (比例) of surface area to volume, so being small can help birds stay cool. Second, warmer summers might have less food available for birds at the time when they are feeding their babies. In that case, birds might be getting smaller because of decreased food over the years.
The findings don't suggest that climate change is having zero impact on bigger-brained birds but researchers believe these findings can inform us of climate change and help set conservation priorities.
28. How does climate change affect birds
A. Their brain size expands. B. Their body size shrinks
C. Their body temperature rises. D. Their lifespan shortens.
29. How did the scientists do the research
A. By analyzing the bird data. B. By observing the birds dying.
C. By studying the bird death rate. D. By clarifying the bird species.
30. What does the underlined word “dissipate” in Paragraph 5 mean
A. Use. B. Hold. C. Lose. D. Absorb.
31. What can be the best title for the text
A. Climate changes sharply B. Temperature rises globally
C. Brain size matters for birds’ body size D. Smaller-brained birds’ body sizes vary
D
The first time you start to read a poem, you must relax and read through it without concentrating on its meaning. Imagine you are meeting a person for the first time. You will just observe him and listen to his voice, as well as watch his shapes or movements, but you have not yet known what he is all about. Likewise, you may enjoy the sound, rhythms, or wording, and form some first impressions about a poem.
On your second reading, you should concentrate more on the general meaning of the poem. This time, you will want to compare your feelings about the poem by now with how you felt before. Are they the same What is different and why
Your third reading will focus more on details: the words, phrases, or images. Look up any unfamiliar words in a dictionary so that you can gain a more accurate understanding. Using the example given above about meeting someone, his image will change gradually and slightly as you meet and learn more about him. Therefore, in your additional readings, it is a good idea to compare your understanding each time with the understanding before.
A helpful approach to further understanding a poem is to summarize it in your own pare your version of understanding with those of others reading the same poem, and listen to how they form such opinions. Remember, however, that there is no exact or right meaning for a poem, as most poets have admitted they themselves are not exactly sure what they meant when writing certain lines or phrases; they have even been heard to say on occasion that sometimes words just seem to “drop from heaven” and land on the page. That is what awakening the imagination is all about. If you are lucky, and if you practice enough, magical things may happen when you write and you may be able to produce a beautiful poem or other work of art yourself.
32. Why does the author give the example of “meeting a person”
A. To offer some advice. B. To support his point.
C. To arouse readers’ interest. D. To introduce his argument.
33. What will you gain from the third reading of a poem
A. Deeper meaning. B. Rhythm beauty.
C. General meaning. D. Poetic structure.
34. What does the underlined word “that” refer to
A. Writing a summary helps understand a poem.
B. Poets themselves don't understand their poems.
C. Beautiful poems drop from heaven occasionally.
D. Poetic meanings are open to different explanations.
35. What can we conclude from the last paragraph
A. Inspiration and hard work help create great poems.
B. Luck marches with those who give their very best.
C. Poetry is an expression of one's will in words.
D. Practice and patience make a man perfect.
第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
There's an art to arranging pictures on a wall. The first step is to think about what you're trying to achieve: 36 Are you trying to arouse curiosity or attract people's attention to a particular artwork Once you've identified the goal, let the following general principles guide you.
Get the height right
Conventional wisdom says art should be hung at eye level. 37 So a basic rule is to hang pieces so that their centers are 56 to 60 inches above the floor. And if the art is going over furniture, aim to hang it 8 to 10 inches from the top of the sofa or whatever piece is beneath it. Whatever height you choose, keep in mind: from a psychological perspective, if it's a scene from nature, for example, it's most relaxing if it seems like we can step into it.
Take care when grouping pieces
When grouping art pieces to create a gallery wall, give priority to the thing that is most special. Be mindful of the space between the frames, ensuring there is a visually equal distance between one another. A good rule is to aim for two inches apart with smaller items, and at most six inches apart with larger works. 38
Find a coherent thread
When arranging artwork in a group, look for one or two elements that repeat between the pieces, whether it's a similar color, or a particular style of frame. When they all share this common characteristic, the brain says, “Oh, this was meant to be,”—it becomes easier to process what you're looking at.
Create balance and symmetry(对称)
39 A 2018 study from the University of Vienna found that both art history and psychology students at the university level prefer symmetrical patterns with art over asymmetrical ones; In other experiments, researchers in Rome found that visual symmetry even leads to positive mood changes in viewers.
40
Before you commit to the arrangement you have in mind by hammering (捶打) holes into a wall, lay out what you plan on the floor in advance to get a sense of how it will look. Consider this a rehearsal (彩排) for your personal art show, Once you have the right arrangement, hammer away.
A. Give it a trial run
B. Make a proper arrangement
C. They are two important elements.
D. Research shows that humans prefer symmetry.
E. In this case, it brings people a harmonious visual effect.
F. But “eye level” means different things to different people.
G. Are you trying to be surprising with your picture placement

“David, it's time for breakfast,” Mrs, Smith called. “There's a birthday present for you to open.”
David ran into the kitchen and saw a shiny new soccer ball on the table. He smiled and started jumping up and down with excitement, “Can I take the ball to school with me, please ” asked David. “Of course,” Mrs. Smith said. “But you need to be careful with your first real soccer ball.”
At school, David immediately put his soccer ball under his desk. During the morning lessons, he kept quietly tapping the ball with his foot to make sure it was still there. Finally, it was break time. David seized the ball and quickly ran outside. He kicked the ball skillfully across the field to a group of students.
Soccer was David's favorite sport. Since he had arrived in England and started school two months ago, he had played soccer every day during the break. Break was always his favorite time because he didn't have to speak English, a language that was still fairly new to him. When he played soccer, he would forget that he felt like an outsider at this new school.
“Look!” called David. “I got a new soccer ball. We can use it for our game today.” The other students exchanged glances and just stared at David. These were the most words David had ever spoken to them.
“We don't need your ball,” said a tall boy, Jacob. “We already have one.” Jacob liked playing soccer but poorly. Jacob kicked David's ball with all his strength. The ball shot over the school's high fence, bounced once, and rolled to the back of a nearby house. “What a good kick!” screamed the other kids, jumping up and down and slapping Jacob on the back. David watched in horror as his cherished football went out of sight, tears coming to his eyes. What would his mother say
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。
He was about to look for his ball when his teacher, Mr. Black, came with it.
With the help of David, they got prepared for the soccer match between classes.
