Greek Odyssey Reader Event
Join Gourmet editor Joann a Hunkin for an evening of Greek celebration at Kafeneion in Melbourne, Australia.
Escape to the warm waters of the Mediterranean as we celebrate the new, permanent home of Kafeneion, a Greek restaurant, on Spring Street with a shared feast of traditional Greek favorites, inspired by the owners’ own family recipes.
Kafeneion was originally established as a pop-up on Bourke Street, but the co-owners quickly realized they were onto a good thing. As word spread of the simple-yet-vibrant menu—which is built on dishes passed through the team’s families for generations—the race was on to find somewhere to continue the legacy (传承), which set the restaurant apart from others.
Now, following a brief absence, Kafeneion is back, taking over The Supper Club for dinner service (with the late-night favourite still in action from 11pm each night). And what better place to settle in for an evening of good food and great conversation, as we celebrate the rich history of Greece and share stories of adventures old and new Join us as executive chef Fellipe Mezzavilla immerses us in the flavors of Greece and inspires new journeys to come.

Like almost every set of new parents, Bryan and Elizabeth Shaw started snapping pictures of their son, Noah, practically from the moment he was born. When he was about three months old, Elizabeth noticed something odd.
The flash on their digital camera created the typical red dot in the center of Noah’s left eye, but the right eye had a white spot at the center, almost as if the flash was being reflected back at the camera by something. When Elizabeth took Noah to an eye doctor, Noah was diagnosed with retinal (视网膜) cancer with the white reflection as a sign. He endured months of treatment, but it was too late.
Noah’s cancer is treatable if caught early. Bryan Shaw wondered whether there were signs he’d missed. He went back over every baby picture of Noah he could find and discovered the first white spot in a photo taken when Noah was 12 days old. As time went on, it appeared more frequently. “By the time he was four months old, it was showing up in 25 percent of the pictures taken of him per month,” Bryan recalled.
Later, Bryan was determined to put his hard-won insights to good use. He created a database that recorded the cancer’s appearance in every photo of Noah. He also collected photos and compiled the data from eight other children with the same cancer. Armed with that data, he began to work with colleagues to develop a smartphone app that can scan the photos in the user’s camera roll to search for white eye and can be used as a kind of ophthalmoscope (眼底镜). Called White Eye Detector, it is now available for free on Google Play and in Apple’s Apple Store.
“I just kept telling myself, I really need to do this,” Bryan said. “This disease is tough to detect. Not only could this software save vision, but it can save lives.”
24．Why did Bryan and Elizabeth take pictures of Noah
A．To record his growth. B．To celebrate his birth.
C．To test their digital camera. D．To collect evidence of eye diseases.
25．Which word can best describe Bryan’s feelings in paragraph 3
A．Terrified. B．Regretful. C．Lonely. D．Exhausted.
26．What can the app do to help
A．It serves as a detector. B．It presents expert advice.
C．It saves photos on users’ phones. D．It provides a worldwide database.
27．What is the text mainly about
A．How a boy lost his eye. B．How a new app works.
C．How a father saved his son. D．How an app came into being.

There’s a site in Cornwall, in southern England, called Woodland Valley Farm. Here, farmer Chris Jones allows beavers (河狸) to wander in an enclosed five-acre plot. Their natural dams, he says, have helped control repeated flooding of the downstream village.
Centuries after beavers were hunted to extinction in Britain, efforts are now underway by environmentalists to reintroduce the creature. “Sometimes they can really be annoying; they can mess everything up,” says Christof Angst, an official consultant of be aver management. “But if you look at it on the whole, the positive impact of this species is huge.” Some of the benefits of beavers’ work on a landscape include a boost to biodiversity, drought resistance, and improvement of water quality by moving pollutants.
Yet, as the animals’ return becomes increasingly widespread, the debate is shifting from whether to bring them back to a question of how to manage them once they start appearing in waterways. The consequences of bringing beavers back are not all positive, the most common one being the flooding they can cause, rather than reduce. In addition, critics point to the high costs of beaver-felled trees and be aver reintroduction programs. “Who’s going to pick up the cost, who’s going to do the repairs, who’s going to cover crop loss ” asks Richard Bramley, a farmer from the York area. “There’s no plan.”
To avoid conflicts, organizers have fenced in beaver-related projects. The beavers are not permitted to wander freely beyond the fences. The government has also put together a beaver management strategy framework, which advises communication and listening, in an effort to clear up misunderstandings and concerns. When beavers do cause issues, available options will be provided, including modifying the dams, reducing water levels, or relocating the animals.
“What we want to direct people towards is coexistence with wildlife and nature,” says Eva Bishop, head of communications and education at the Beaver Trust. “We need to encourage people to give space for nature to function.”
28．What do we know about Woodland Valley Farm
A．It keeps beavers for research. B．It is funded by the government.
C．It builds dams to control flooding. D．It restricts beavers to a certain area.
29．What is Richard Bramley’s attitude toward be aver projects
A．Critical. B．Appreciative. C．Neutral. D．Tolerant.
30．What does the underlined word “concerns” in paragraph 4 refer to
A．Worries about related costs. B．Doubts about beavers’ safety.
C．Fears for species extinction. D．Anxieties over river pollution.
31．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Increasing Beavers Raise the Alarm B．Conflicts with Beavers Keep Arising
C．Wildlife Conservation Sees a Policy Shift D．Beaver Projects Offer Coexistence Lessons
D
Social media companies are often compared to tobacco companies, for they both market harmful products to children and design their products for maximum customer loyalty (that is, addiction), but there’s a big difference: Teens can and do choose, in large numbers, not to smoke. Social media, in contrast, applies a lot more pressure on non-users, at a much younger age and in a more unnoticed way.
Once a few students in any middle school open accounts at age 11 or 12, the pressure on everyone else to join becomes intense. Even a girl who consciously knows that Instagram can foster beauty obsession, anxiety, and eating disorders might sooner take those risks than accept the seeming certainty of being out of the picture and excluded. In this way, social media unlocks a remarkable achievement: It even harms adolescents who do not use it.
A recent study in the University of Chicago illustrated the effects of the social media trap precisely. The researchers asked more than 1, 000 college students how much they would need to be paid to deactivate (停用) their accounts on Instagram for four weeks. On average, the students said they would need to be paid roughly $ 50. Then the experimenters told the students that they were going to get most of their friends to do the same, and then asked, Now how much would you have to be paid to deactivate, if most others did so The answer, on average, was less than zero—most students were willing to pay to have that happen.
Most students are on social media only because everyone else is too. This is the textbook definition of what social scientists call a collective-action problem. It’s what happens when a group would be better off if everyone in the group took a particular action, but each actor is discouraged from acting, because unless the others do the same, the personal cost outweighs the benefit. Cigarettes trapped individual smokers with a biological addiction. Social media, however, has trapped an entire generation in a collective-action problem.
32．What drives teenagers to start using social media
A．The longing to stand out. B．The fear of being left out.
C．The wish to impress others. D．The pressure from non-users.
33．What can we learn about the college students in the study
A．They are happy to interact online. B．They are fed up with social media.
C．They choose Instagram over friends. D．They use social media to make money.
34．Which of the following is a collective-action problem
A．Athletes changing strategies to win a race. B．Students taking exercise for better health.
C．Fishermen limiting their catch to protect fish. D．Companies investing more for bigger profits.
35．What is the purpose of the text
A．To present new findings of a research. B．To introduce a branch of social science.
C．To explore a reason for social media addiction. D．To argue against the benefits of social media.

根据短文内容，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。
The traditional Chinese solar calendar divides a year into 24 solar terms. The Spring Equinox, the fourth term of the year, signals the equal length of the day and night time. 36 . After the equinox, the sun moves northwards, resulting in gradually longer day time in the Northern Hemisphere and longer night in the South. Here are things you may not know about the Spring Equinox.
Swallows fly north
The ancient Chinese people divided the fifteen days of the Spring Equinox into three “hou’s,” or five-day parts. As the old saying goes, “swallows fly back to the North in the first hou; thunder cracks the sky in the second hou; lightning occurs frequently in the third hou.” 37 .
Egg-standing games
Standing an egg upright is a popular game across the country during the Spring Equinox. It is an old custom that dates back to 4, 000 years ago. 38 . Furthermore, there is a general perception that good luck for the future will be generated in this way.
Flying kites
In ancient times, people did not have good medical resources. So to pray for health, they wrote their medical issues on paper kite. When the kite was in the air, people would cut off the string to let the paper kite float away, symbolizing the flying away of diseases. 39 . On the Spring Equinox, people write a blessing on the kite, hoping that the gods in the sky would see it.
40
This practice is popular in the southern area of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. As the Spring Equinox comes, farm work starts and both the farmers and the cattle start to become busy. Farmers will reward cattle with sticky rice balls to express their gratefulness.
A．Reward farm cattle
B．Hold sacrifice ceremonies
C．Later, it developed into a tradition of spring
D．On the day of it, the sun is directly above the equator
E．As the Spring Equinox comes, the weather frequently varies
F．People practice this tradition to celebrate the coming of spring
G．They vividly reveal the climate feature during the Spring Equinox

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 grew up in the south of Arizona in a little community called Estepona. I was 16 when one morning, my father told me I could drive him into a remote village called Mijas, about 18 miles away, on condition that I take the car in to be serviced at a nearby garage. Having just learned to drive, and hardly ever having the opportunity to use the car, I readily accepted.
I drove Dad into Mijas and promised to pick him up at 4 P. M.. Then I drove to a nearby garage and dropped off the car. Because I had a few hours to spare, I decided to catch a couple of movies at a theater near the garage. However, I became so immersed in the films that I completely lost track of time. When the last movie had finished, I looked down at my watch. It was six o’clock. I was two hours late!
I knew Dad would be angry if he found out I’d been watching movies. He’d never let me drive again. I decided to tell him that the car needed some repairs and that they had taken longer than had been expected. I drove up to the place where we had planned to meet and saw Dad waiting patiently on the corner. I apologized for being late and told him that I’d come as quickly as I could, but the car had needed some major repairs. I’ll never forget the look he gave me.
“I’m disappointed that you feel you have to lie to me, Jason.”
“What do you mean I’m telling the truth.”
Dad looked at me again. “When you did not show up, I called the garage to ask if there were any problems, and they told me that you had not yet picked up the car. So you see, I know there were no problems with the car.”

1．续写词数应为150左右：

Dear Eric,
I hope this email finds you in excellent spirits. I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for introducing the intricate rules of American football to our class. Your profound knowledge has been invaluable to us.
Our class is eagerly anticipating the upcoming American football match, which is scheduled to unfold this vibrant Saturday at 3 pm on the lively school sports field. The atmosphere will be electric with the roar of the crowd and the thud of the ball. It would be a privilege to invite you to serve as the esteemed referee for our thrilling encounter. Your expertise and presence would undoubtedly add a new dimension to the game, ensuring its fairness and excitement.
We eagerly await your confirmation and once again, thank you for your unwavering support and assistance.
Best regards,

续写
Dad let out a sigh of disappointment. It was a sound that seemed to echo the weight of his feelings, not just about my actions, but about the breach of trust between us. Hanging my head in shame, I confessed that I had lost track of time while watching movies at the theater. “I’m sorry, Dad,” I mumbled. After a moment of reflection, he broke the silence, announcing his decision to walk home and give me a valuable lesson. And then he set off. I jumped into the car and trailed behind, desperately begging him to take the car.
However, determined to teach me a lesson, Dad continued his walking back home. He simply ignored my pleading in spite of my apologies. Witnessing my father endure such physical and emotional anguish was the most distressing experience I had ever faced. As the miles passed, I made a promise to myself to be more responsible and to always be truthful, no matter how difficult it might be. That night, the 18-mile journey home was a hard lesson learned, but it was one that would stay with me for the rest of my life.
答案详解
阅读理解
A篇
21．D 细节查找题。从文章第二段第三行“…inspired by the owners’ own family recipe”以及第三段第二行“ As word spread of the simple-yet-vibrant menu—which is built on dishes passed through the team’s families for generations—the race was on to find somewhere to continue the legacy (传承)”, which set the restaurant apart from others.可知，Kafeneion提供的食物源自于世代相传下来的菜谱，这让它与其他餐馆不同，因此是食物特殊的地方，故正确答案为D。
22．B 细节查找题。在文章分割线下面写到“BOOKNOW: Sean the QR code or visit greekodyssey..au”，可知预定方式有扫二维码或者访问网站。故正确答案为B。
23．C 推理判断题。文章第四段写到“And what better place to settle in for an evening of good food and great conversation, as we celebrate the rich history of Greece and share stories of adventures old and new ”，可知这篇文章的目的之一是希望阅读到这篇文章的人们去享用美味的食物。文章第二和第三段则在讲述餐馆Kafeneion选择永久地址背后的故事。在和食物有关的杂志中，最可能看到此类文章。故正确答案为C。
B篇
24．A 推理判断题。文章第一段第一行写到“Like almost every set of new parents, Bryan and Elizabeth Shaw started snapping pictures of their son, Noah, practically from the moment he was born”，可知Bryan和Elizabeth如所有新手父母一样，从Noah出生就开始拍照片，可推理出他们是为了记录他的成长。故正确答案为A。
25．B 推理判断题。文章第三段第一行写到“Noah’s cancer is treatable if caught early. Bryan Shaw wondered whether there were signs he’d missed”，可知Bryan认为自己错过了早些时候的一些迹象，因此错过了治疗时机。由此，可推理出他很后悔。故正确答案为B。
26．A 推理判断题。文章第四段第三行写到“Armed with that data, he began to work with colleagues to develop a smartphone app that can scan the photos in the user’s camera roll to search for white eye and can be used as a kind of ophthalmoscope”，可知这个app可以扫描相册并且作为眼底镜来发现症状。此外，由文章第四段可知，app的名字叫做“White Eye Detector”，给了相应提示，故正确答案为A。
27．D 主旨大意题。文章讲述了由于未能及时发现迹象，错失儿子的治疗时机后，父亲积极研发app帮助他人的大爱故事。故正确答案为D。
C篇
28．D 细节查找题。根据第一段第二句话“Here, farmer Chris Jones allows beavers (河狸) to wander in an enclosed five-acre plot”可知，河狸只能在一个封闭区域内活动，故选择D。
29．A 推理判断题。根据第三段最后两句话内容，“Who’s going to pick up the cost, who’s going to do the repairs, who’s going to cover crop loss ” asks Richard Bramley... “There’s no plan.”由此可以判断，Richard Bramley对河狸项目持批评态度，故选择A。
30．A 词义猜测题。根据第三段可知，由于河狸项目的负面影响和高额成本(“The consequences of bringing beavers back are not all positive, the most common one being the flooding they can cause...”)，河狸和人之间会产生冲突。第四段开头提到，组织者采取了一系列措施来避免冲突，消除人们的误解和担心。由此可以推断，这种担心是指对河狸可能造成的相关损失的担心。故选择A。
31．D 主旨大意题。全文主要介绍了英国的河狸项目，包括项目带来的好处以及应对风险的措施，因此，D选项最能概括文章中心，“河狸项目提供了（人和动物）共存的经验”。
D篇
32．B 细节查找题。第 一段最后一句话提到，“Social media, in contrast, applies a lot more pressure on non-users...”由此可知，社交媒体会对未使用者带来压力。第二段第二句话中的例子进一步明确这种压力，“Even a girl... might sooner take those risks than accept the seeming certainty of being out of the picture and excluded.”也就是说，不使用社交媒体的人，会面临被孤立被排斥的压力，故本题答案为B。
33．B 推理判断题。本题关键点在于读懂第三段中对于研究的介绍。根据本段最后两句话，“most students were willing to pay to have that happen”，如果可以让大家一起停用社交账户，研究中的大学生宁愿付钱给研究者。由此可推断，他们对社交媒体感到厌倦。故选择B。
34．C 推理判断题。最后一段对于“collective-action problem”给出了定义，“It’s what happens when a group would be better off if everyone in the group took a particular action, but each actor is discouraged from acting, because unless the others do the same, the personal cost outweighs the benefit.”据此可以归纳出如下要点：所有人一起行动才会实现一个让群体受益的目标；一个人行动而其他人不行动，则个体损失超过个体收益。根据此概念分析四个选项，只有C选项最符合——所有人一起减少捕捞，可以保护渔业资源；只有一个人减少捕捞，则个体受损，不能实现保护渔业资源的目的。其他三个选项中，个体单独行动不会让自己利益受损。故C项为正确答案。
35．C 写作意图题。文章第一段通过社交媒体公司和烟草公司的对比，探讨了社交媒体成瘾的一个原因：社交媒体给未使用者带来间接压力，迫使他们使用。第二段对此观点详细阐述。第三段通过一份研究来证明这一观点。第四段引用一个学术概念对此进行佐证分析。因此，全文写作意图是为了探讨一个社交媒体成瘾的原因。故选择C。
七选五
36．D 过渡性句子。前句讲春分的日照时长，后一句讲春分之后日照的改变，因此，该空应该选进一步描述春分时节的日照情况，即D选项。
37．G 注释性句子。总结前一句的内容即“它们生动地展现了春分期间的气候特征。”G选项的主语they指代前一句的关键词（即“hou’s”）。本题要用到代词法。
38．F 过渡性句子。前一句讲春分立蛋的习俗，后文进一步阐述其民俗意义，故而该空需要承前启后，F选项是最佳答案。
39．C 过渡性句子。前一句讲春分时节人们放风筝的原因，后一句讲人们放风筝的具体做法。C选项中的it指代前文中的flying kites这种习俗。同时，时态是很关键的选择依据。本题要用到代词法。
40．A 主旨概括句。本段主要在讲春分时节有一种盛行于长江中下游地区的“犒劳耕牛”的习俗。
完形填空
A 连词法。41空前面的and 提示我们应该填感彩和情节上能烘托气馁、疲倦以及悲伤的副词。
C 信息前置法。第一自然段开头就告诉我们作者遇到了不顺心的事情，所以trials“磨难”合适本空。
43．B 信息前置法。本句意思是“我向母亲说了我的沮丧的心情。”state“状态”。
44．D 上下文逻辑关系法。前一句说我的妈妈没有按我的想法来安慰我，后一句说妈妈让我去送饼干，安慰别人，因此，该空需要填一个表达转折关系的词语。
45．D 信息后置法。从后文得知妈妈应该是建议我送一些饼干给Jamie，而不是别的三个选项的东西。
46．A 上下文法和首句法。本句的意思是“我并不想这么做，但我还是决定暂时抛开自己的烦恼。”
47．B 信息后置法。本句有一个地点状语“在小盘子里”，所以应该选择arranged“摆放到”这个单词。
48．C 首句法。本句的意思是“那天下午我们去了我朋友（Jamie）的家”。
49．C 上下文法和连词法。正常情况下应该是先按门铃。
50．A 信息后置法。本空后面的for the unexpected visit提示应该选择A选项。
51．C 信息前置法。本空前面的before she could say anything 提示应该选择C选项。
52．B 上下文法。本句的意思是“杰米脸上浮现的表情是我无法用语言描述的。”
53．D 上下文法。本句的意思是“好像原来乌云密布的天空顷刻间洒满了阳光；好像就因为我这么个小小的举动，她的这一天都亮堂起来了一样。”
54．D 信息后置法。从后半句中的somehow可知，本句的意思是“我回到车里，也不知是什么原因，我自己也感觉好多了。”
55．B 上下文法。本句的意思是“给他人带去阳光的人，自己也会沐浴在阳光之中。” (cannot) keep it (=sunshine) from themselves能表达原文的含义。
语法填空
56．an 考查冠词。本空为State Farm的同位语an insurance company的不定冠词。
57．surveyed 考查过去分词。57空后面的last November提示应该是发生过了事情，且与逻辑主语是被动关系，所以用过去分词短语作后置定语。
58．has conducted 考查时态。从本句的时间状语over the past several months可知，应该用现在完成时。
59．Teenagers 考查名词。从59空后面的连词以及并列主语adults为复数可知，本空应该也为可数名词的复数形式。
60．higher 考查形容词。从本句内部语境使用的比较级可知，本空也应该用比较级。本句的意思是“青少年和年轻人比其他人更沉迷于手机，他们也是经验更少的司机，开车时使用智能手机的比例可能更高，这是道路上危险的一个因素。”
61．acknowledging 考查动名词。介词despite后面应该接名词、代词、动名词。
62．themselves 考查反身代词。根据句意含有让步的含义可知，应该填themselves，来指代上下文中提及到的the guilty drivers“内疚的司机”他们自己。
63．if 考查条件状语从句。本句的意思是“如果没有近乎意外的事故或实际的车祸发生，这样的危险驾驶行为还是不会得以改变。”
64．on 考查介词。on the basis of each individual case“根据每个个案”。
65．who/that 考查定语从句。本句的意思是“它将无辜者的生命和福祉置于那些懒得改变习惯的人的摆布之下。”

(Text 10)
W: Hi my name’s Britt Foxton, and I’m the founder of a website devoted to women’s basketball, and I’ve also just written a book on the same subject. But first up, let me tell you how I got started with the site.
Although it really got going once I was at university, it actually started out as a high-school project—you know a “design a website” kind of thing—but it wasn’t like anyone expected it to become real or anything. (17) I designed a site about girls’ basketball, which I was passionate about, and called it . I knew the name wasn’t right, and before it got really successful I changed it to and that was a really good move. (18)
And although it started with basketball, the site’s grow n to include other games as well. It features a variety of articles and reviews on everything ranging from basketball to computer games, plus some more traditionally “girly” material as well. (19) But the coverage of team sports is at the heart of it, (20) anything about make-up or fashion is just secondary to that.
