The Best Restaurants in Chicago
Summer has arrived and where to eat in Chicago This collection of Chicago’s best restaurants provides answers to the classic question.

Nowadays, the restaurant has expanded its menu away from its origins as a neighborhood steakhouse. But fortunately, the neighborhood aspect remains.

With two smokers to prepare St. Louis- style roast meat, this destination in the Northwest Side neighborhood of Irving Park delivers barbecue in the styles of Kansas City and Memphis.

Pat’s Pizza TEL (773) 248-0168
Chicago thin-crust pizza is having a moment, with the city’s pizza- makers eager to protest the convention that here only serves thick- crust pizza.

Over the last 15 years, Lee Anne Barnes has gone from a couch potato to a marathoner. The Mississippi teacher said she’s lost about 150 pounds since 2008, and has fulfilled a longtime dream — to run and finish the New York City(NYC) Marathon. “It was a dream that came true. I’ve been wanting to do it for 12 years,” Barnes said. Barnes has come a long way over the past decade. At one point, she weighed nearly 300 pounds. “I did have a big setback around 2018, but I got myself together and persevered (坚持不懈) and got with it again,” she said.
Running has been an essential part for Barnes. She has so far run many half marathons and four full marathons. “I can say my life is definitely better, not only for getting mentally and physically healthy but for meeting incredible people along,” Barnes said of her experience with running.
Although it wasn’t her first marathon Barnes said the NYC Marathon was still a challenging run. At mile 18, she said she started having “sharp back spasms (痉挛)”, but despite it all, she would not exchange the experience for anything. “The goal might not be exactly what you want, but you will persevere through it and try your best to reach the end goal.” In the end, Barnes completed the NYC Marathon with a final time of 6 hours, 58 minutes and 53 seconds.
“I credit everyone for my achievements. The crowds are simply amazing. And I’m also inspired by the people I’ve encountered. Believe in yourself that you can do it, and start with small achievable and measurable goals. Find something you like to do and something that inspires and motivates you,” she said.
Today, Barnes runs about five days a week and does both strength and cross training. She plans on running again soon, setting her sights on a half marathon in Arizona next February and running in all 50 states with her husband. She and her husband also hope to run the NYC Marathon together next year.
4. What does the first paragraph mainly talk about
A. Barnes managed to lose weight via surgery. B. Barnes has overcome setbacks in her life.
C. Barnes has fulfilled her long-standing wish. D. Barnes has suffered a lot over the last 15 years.
5. What does Barnes try to convey in the second paragraph
A. She benefits a lot from running. B. She has been mentally cured.
C. She has run a lot of marathons in her life. D. She wants to make friends through running.
6. What do we know about Barnes’ participation in the NYC Marathon
A. She highly treasured the experience. B. She finished it with the best record.
C. She completed it without difficulty. D. She considered it the most challenging.
7. Which of the following can best describe Barnes
A. Demanding but patient. B. Stubborn but friendly.
C. Warm-hearted and optimistic. D. Strong-willed and ambitious.
C
With an increasing demand and numerous challenges concerning traditional coffee agriculture, there is a pressing need for alternative ways of producing coffee. Due to the high demand for coffee, more land is required, leading to deforestation (滥伐森林) — particularly in sensitive areas of rainforest.
VTT is developing coffee production through plant cells in its laboratory in Finland. “This project has been part of our overall job to look for the environmentally friendly biotechnological solutions to daily foods that are conventionally produced by agriculture. For this, we use many different hosts, such as microbes (微生物) and plant cells,” says research team leader, Dr Heiko Rischer from VTT.
The work started by initiating (创立) coffee cell cultures and establishing respective cell lines. In terms of smell and taste, the trained sensory panel and analytical examination found nothing divergent when comparing the lab’s coffee to ordinary coffee. “Our coffee is so real that it is hard to tell it from the conventional one. Coffee making is an art and involves many processes. Our work provides the basis for such work,” says Rischer.
The experience of drinking the very first cup was exciting. Rischer estimates expanding their production is still years away. Growing plant cells requires specific expertise when it is time to improve the process. And the coffee produced in lab conditions should first be approved as Novel Food by the European Commission before being marketed. “Therefore, that’s what we need to devote ourselves to next in the project,” says Rischer. “That said, we have proved that coffee produced in our lab can be real.”
The true impact of the project will happen through companies that are willing to rethink food material production and start driving commercial applications. VTT supports large enterprises and small companies in adopting opportunities in their product development.
8. What is the mission of VTT
A. Finding alternatives to coffee. B. Achieving sustainable food production.
C. Protecting the areas of rainforest. D. Developing biotechnology in agriculture.
9. What does the underlined word “divergent” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Rernarkable. B. Original. C. Unpleasant. D. Different.
10. What may the project focus on in the following stage
A. Improving the flavour. B. Increasing the production.
C. Gaining official approval. D. Cooperating with companies.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Lab- grown Coffee Became a Reality B. Coffee Production Is Facing Challenges
C. VVT Met with Success in Novel Food D. Agriculture Is Undergoing a Transformation
D
It is not just the environment and the economy that are threatened by a warmer climate, but also culture and traditions around the world. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have mapped what little is known about how climate change is gradually destroying local knowledge and cultural heritage.
“We risk losing the memory of native people’s ways of life without this type of documentation,” says Guy Jackson at Lund University, one of the authors of a literature study. One conclusion of the study is that cultural heritage is primarily seen as something of material value, such as a historic building, and the loss is seen as a potential future problem, even though there is evidence that it is already happening.
Focusing on material losses means that important traditions and knowledge systems are overlooked. “There are also many non-material losses that are valuable for both individual identity and group identity,” says Guy Jackson.
The study shows a clear connection between loss of native cultural heritage and changes in the natural environment. For example, songs and working methods change when groups lose traditions linked to a physical location. One scientific article points out that identity is closely linked to the environment, “ Inuit people (因纽特人) in Canada are people of sea ice. If there is no. more sea ice, how can they be people of sea ice ”
Loss of traditions and cultural heritage can make it more difficult to deal with climate change, and weaken social togetherness, as people lose touch with traditional ways of life. It also raises the question whether we can expect native people to protect and preserve rainforests and other ecosystems.
The researchers hope that the literature study can read to more targeted research. They want to see a larger focus on how to handle, minimize and tackle future losses. “Science should contribute by developing practical solutions and strategies that help with adaptation to the losses that have already happened,” Guy Jackson concludes.
12. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs
A. Climate change causes cultural loss. B. The economy affects the environment.
C. Cultural loss is a current problem. D. The native people are being forgotten.
13. What does the study show about the loss of native cultural heritage
A. It is seriously overestimated by scientists. B. It has brought great damage to Canadians.
C. It has transformed global working methods. D. It is closely related to environmental changes.
14. What is paragraph 5 mainly about concerning the loss of traditions and cultural heritage
A. Its natural origins. B. Its negative results.
C. Its potential reasons. D. Its effective solutions.
15. What is the main idea of the text
A. The unknown threats to the local knowledge.
B. The practical solutions to some cultural issues.
C. The climate change’s effect on culture and traditions.
D The various losses of important culture and traditions.
第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Whether you’re heading out for a day trip or a quick weekend getaway (短期休假), we will share some travel tips in this guide to help you make your experience more enjoyable.
·Think about how you want to travel.
___16___ Sometimes it means the most enjoyable. Too much consideration on short journeys is not worth it. If you’ve got a preference for a certain means of transport, it’s often worth traveling that way for short distances, even if it ends up taking you a little longer.
·___17___
Some cities, like NYC, are quite walkable. Others simply aren’t. In Amsterdam, the best way to get about is by bike — whether you use the city’s shared bikes or rent one from your hotel. In Southeast Asia, you’d better rent a scooter (小型摩托车). ___18___ So don’t bother to find the so-called one-size-fits-all answer.
·Try all the available options.
If you’ re not sure about the best means of transport for you, experience them all. See what catching the subway is like, try cycling or riding the bus. It’s hard to predict what will be the most convenient. LA has a low- cost public transport network but car-pooling is cheaper, and scooters are the best for getting around West Hollywood. ___19___
·Don’t rely on map apps.
Map apps are useful, but they don’t take into account the possibility of packed subways, queues for taxis and the heat of a train in summer. ___20___ So don’t assume something is a 30-minute drive just because a map app says so — by the time you’ve driven halfway, you might still have another 30 minutes to go.
A. Don’t limit your choices.
B. It takes time to find the best.
C. Study the city you will travel to.
D. You won’t know until you try them all.
E. What works here might not work there.
F. The best doesn’t necessarily mean the fastest.
G. Besides, they are a bit behind the real traffic time.

Although it was a ___22___ due to busy life, my family tried to make it a ___23___ to have dinner together. However, our dinner conversations gradually became easy to ___24___, because it’s all about my sons’ study. We needed something more ___25___.
At first, my boys just ___26___ took part. They didn’t make a preparation. It was ___27___: when it was their turn, they organized their stories on the fly. But I ___28___ this practice, attempting to interest them with my interesting topics. Luckily, it ___29___. One night my older son asked, “Can I go first I have a story.” I couldn’t ___30___ what he told all those years ago, but it kick-started a ___31___ dinner conversation full of laughter. Instead of worrying about parental grilling (盘问), my boys ___32___.
In a recent call from my sons who work in another city now, I asked, “Which you ___33___ best, in terms of my parenting hacks (育儿技巧) ” Their ___34___ was immediate — our dinner story tradition. They are still willing to talk to me now, and there is nothing better than listening to them chatting. And, if they have kids someday, this tradition will ___35___, I’m guessing.

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 day in February 2016, when my friend, Austin, invited me to hike the Ka’au Crater Trail in Honolulu, I jumped at the chance. Together with four of his friends, Jack, Dan, Carson and Mali, we were excited to check out the challenging track. We’d see three waterfalls, and a volcanic crater.
Stretching over eight kilometers, there were no steps on the track—just muddy paths formed on the rock face by other hikers. Climbing upstream, the journey was not for the faint-hearted (胆小的). We had to climb through thick roots and overgrown vegetation. But I knew the view from the top would be incredible. Finally, after an hour and a half, we stopped for our final rest before the peak.
“I’m going to check it out!” Austin said. “I’ll join you,” I replied, eager to see the top.
Racing up the last stretch, I felt excited as I walked over to the edge of the final waterfall where I turned my camera on. When I moved closer to the edge to get a better look, my foot suddenly gave way on a wet rock, sending me falling feet-first over the edge.
I desperately reached out to hang on to any rocks but I couldn’t get one as I fell to the bottom 15 meters below, scraping (刮) against rocks as I went.
As I fell, it felt like time stood still. “Was I going to be badly hurt ” I thought.
In a moment of clarity (清醒) before I reached the bottom, I twisted my body to the side and tucked (蜷缩) myself in a ball. It was a position I’d learned in volleyball training, aimed at reducing the impact of a fall. Landing in the water with a huge splash, after around 20 seconds I managed to lift my head out, but struggled to breath and I could taste blood.
“I’ve got to get myself out,” I realized, walking out to reach the edge of the pool as my visions became unclear. Holding the rocks tightly, I felt pain tore through my body and blood flowed from deep wounds on my left arm and left bottom.
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。
Moments later Austin arrived and raced down the track.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I was airlifted to a waiting ambulance, then rushed to the hospital.

Over the last 15 years, Lee Anne Barnes has gone from a couch potato to a marathoner. The Mississippi teacher said she’s lost about 150 pounds since 2008, and has fulfilled a longtime dream — to run and finish the New York City(NYC) Marathon. “It was a dream that came true. I’ve been wanting to do it for 12 years,” Barnes said. Barnes has come a long way over the past decade. At one point, she weighed nearly 300 pounds. “I did have a big setback around 2018, but I got myself together and persevered (坚持不懈) and got with it again,” she said.
Running has been an essential part for Barnes. She has so far run many half marathons and four full marathons. “I can say my life is definitely better, not only for getting mentally and physically healthy but for meeting incredible people along,” Barnes said of her experience with running.
Although it wasn’t her first marathon, Barnes said the NYC Marathon was still a challenging run. At mile 18, she said she started having “sharp back spasms (痉挛)”, but despite it all, she would not exchange the experience for anything. “The goal might not be exactly what you want, but you will persevere through it and try your best to reach the end goal.” In the end, Barnes completed the NYC Marathon with a final time of 6 hours, 58 minutes and 53 seconds.
“I credit everyone for my achievements. The crowds are simply amazing. And I’m also inspired by the people I’ve encountered. Believe in yourself that you can do it, and start with small achievable and measurable goals. Find something you like to do and something that inspires and motivates you,” she said.
Today, Barnes runs about five days a week and does both strength and cross training. She plans on running again soon, setting her sights on a half marathon in Arizona next February and running in all 50 states with her husband. She and her husband also hope to run the NYC Marathon together next year.
4. What does the first paragraph mainly talk about
A. Barnes managed to lose weight via surgery. B. Barnes has overcome setbacks in her life.
C. Barnes has fulfilled her long-standing wish. D. Barnes has suffered a lot over the last 15 years.
5. What does Barnes try to convey in the second paragraph
A. She benefits a lot from running. B. She has been mentally cured.
C. She has run a lot of marathons in her life. D. She wants to make friends through running.
6. What do we know about Barnes’ participation in the NYC Marathon
A. She highly treasured the experience. B. She finished it with the best record.

With an increasing demand and numerous challenges concerning traditional coffee agriculture, there is a pressing need for alternative ways of producing coffee. Due to the high demand for coffee, more land is required, leading to deforestation (滥伐森林) — particularly in sensitive areas of rainforest.
VTT is developing coffee production through plant cells in its laboratory in Finland. “This project has been part of our overall job to look for the environmentally friendly biotechnological solutions to daily foods that are conventionally produced by agriculture. For this, we use many different hosts, such as microbes (微生物) and plant cells,” says research team leader, Dr Heiko Rischer from VTT.
The work started by initiating (创立) coffee cell cultures and establishing respective cell lines. In terms of smell and taste, the trained sensory panel and analytical examination found nothing divergent when comparing the lab’s coffee to ordinary coffee. “Our coffee is so real that it is hard to tell it from the conventional one. Coffee making is an art and involves many processes. Our work provides the basis for such work,” says Rischer.
The experience of drinking the very first cup was exciting. Rischer estimates expanding their production is still years away. Growing plant cells requires specific expertise when it is time to improve the process. And the coffee produced in lab conditions should first be approved as Novel Food by the European Commission before being marketed. “Therefore, that’s what we need to devote ourselves to next in the project,” says Rischer. “That said, we have proved that coffee produced in our lab can be real.”
The true impact of the project will happen through companies that are willing to rethink food material production and start driving commercial applications. VTT supports large enterprises and small companies in adopting opportunities in their product development.
8. What is the mission of VTT
A. Finding alternatives to coffee. B. Achieving sustainable food production.
C. Protecting the areas of rainforest. D. Developing biotechnology in agriculture.
9. What does the underlined word “divergent” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Rernarkable. B. Original. C. Unpleasant. D. Different.
10. What may the project focus on in the following stage
A. Improving the flavour. B. Increasing the production.
C. Gaining official approval. D. Cooperating with companies.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Lab- grown Coffee Became a Reality B. Coffee Production Is Facing Challenges
C. VVT Met with Success in Novel Food D. Agriculture Is Undergoing a Transformation
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. A
D
It is not just the environment and the economy that are threatened by a warmer climate, but also culture and traditions around the world. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have mapped what little is known about how climate change is gradually destroying local knowledge and cultural heritage.
“We risk losing the memory of native people’s ways of life without this type of documentation,” says Guy Jackson at Lund University, one of the authors of a literature study. One conclusion of the study is that cultural heritage is primarily seen as something of material value, such as a historic building, and the loss is seen as a potential future problem, even though there is evidence that it is already happening.
Focusing on material losses means that important traditions and knowledge systems are overlooked. “There are also many non-material losses that are valuable for both individual identity and group identity,” says Guy Jackson.
The study shows a clear connection between loss of native cultural heritage and changes in the natural environment. For example, songs and working methods change when groups lose traditions linked to a physical location. One scientific article points out that identity is closely linked to the environment, “ Inuit people (因纽特人) in Canada are people of sea ice. If there is no. more sea ice, how can they be people of sea ice ”
Loss of traditions and cultural heritage can make it more difficult to deal with climate change, and weaken social togetherness, as people lose touch with traditional ways of life. It also raises the question whether we can expect native people to protect and preserve rainforests and other ecosystems.
The researchers hope that the literature study can read to more targeted research. They want to see a larger focus on how to handle, minimize and tackle future losses. “Science should contribute by developing practical solutions and strategies that help with adaptation to the losses that have already happened,” Guy Jackson concludes.
12. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs
A. Climate change causes cultural loss. B. The economy affects the environment.
C. Cultural loss is a current problem. D. The native people are being forgotten.
13. What does the study show about the loss of native cultural heritage
A. It is seriously overestimated by scientists. B. It has brought great damage to Canadians.
C. It has transformed global working methods. D. It is closely related to environmental changes.
14. What is paragraph 5 mainly about concerning the loss of traditions and cultural heritage
A. Its natural origins. B. Its negative results.
C. Its potential reasons. D. Its effective solutions.
15. What is the main idea of the text
A. The unknown threats to the local knowledge.
B. The practical solutions to some cultural issues.
C. The climate change’s effect on culture and traditions.
D. The various losses of important culture and traditions.

Whether you’re heading out for a day trip or a quick weekend getaway (短期休假), we will share some travel tips in this guide to help you make your experience more enjoyable.
·Think about how you want to travel.
___16___ Sometimes it means the most enjoyable. Too much consideration on short journeys is not worth it. If you’ve got a preference for a certain means of transport, it’s often worth traveling that way for short distances, even if it ends up taking you a little longer.
·___17___
Some cities, like NYC, are quite walkable. Others simply aren’t. In Amsterdam, the best way to get about is by bike — whether you use the city’s shared bikes or rent one from your hotel. In Southeast Asia, you’d better rent a scooter (小型摩托车). ___18___ So don’t bother to find the so-called one-size-fits-all answer.
·Try all the available options.
If you’ re not sure about the best means of transport for you, experience them all. See what catching the subway is like, try cycling or riding the bus. It’s hard to predict what will be the most convenient. LA has a low- cost public transport network but car-pooling is cheaper, and scooters are the best for getting around West Hollywood. ___19___
·Don’t rely on map apps.
Map apps are useful, but they don’t take into account the possibility of packed subways, queues for taxis and the heat of a train in summer. ___20___ So don’t assume something is a 30-minute drive just because a map app says so — by the time you’ve driven halfway, you might still have another 30 minutes to go.
A. Don’t limit your choices.
B. It takes time to find the best.
C. Study the city you will travel to.
D. You won’t know until you try them all.
E. What works here might not work there.
F. The best doesn’t necessarily mean the fastest.
G. Besides they are a bit behind the real traffic time.
【答案】16. F 17. C 18. E 19. D 20. G

【答案】Dear Jack,
Last Saturday witnessed a shocking feast of traditional Chinese culture in the school gym. Almost all the students and teachers participated in it.
The splendid performance started with Li Bai’s poem, “Invitation to Wine”, recited by a student from Class One, Grade Two. Then came Beijing Opera. The audience also appreciated fantastic folk dance, various songs, the qipao show and cross talk, which impressed me most.
All the performances were thought highly of. I hope you could come and experience Chinese culture in person. I’m sure you’ll be fascinated by it.
Yours,

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 day in February 2016, when my friend, Austin, invited me to hike the Ka’au Crater Trail in Honolulu, I jumped at the chance. Together with four of his friends, Jack, Dan, Carson and Mali, we were excited to check out the challenging track. We’d see three waterfalls, and a volcanic crater.
Stretching over eight kilometers, there were no steps on the track—just muddy paths formed on the rock face by other hikers. Climbing upstream, the journey was not for the faint-hearted (胆小的). We had to climb through thick roots and overgrown vegetation. But I knew the view from the top would be incredible. Finally, after an hour and a half, we stopped for our final rest before the peak.
“I’m going to check it out!” Austin said. “I’ll join you,” I replied, eager to see the top.
Racing up the last stretch, I felt excited as I walked over to the edge of the final waterfall where I turned my camera on. When I moved closer to the edge to get a better look, my foot suddenly gave way on a wet rock, sending me falling feet-first over the edge.
I desperately reached out to hang on to any rocks but I couldn’t get one as I fell to the bottom 15 meters below, scraping (刮) against rocks as I went.
As I fell, it felt like time stood still. “Was I going to be badly hurt ” I thought.
In a moment of clarity (清醒) before I reached the bottom, I twisted my body to the side and tucked (蜷缩) myself in a ball. It was a position I’d learned in volleyball training, aimed at reducing the impact of a fall. Landing in the water with a huge splash, after around 20 seconds I managed to lift my head out, but struggled to breath and I could taste blood.
“I’ve got to get myself out,” I realized, walking out to reach the edge of the pool as my visions became unclear. Holding the rocks tightly, I felt pain tore through my body and blood flowed from deep wounds on my left arm and left bottom.
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。
Moments later, Austin arrived and raced down the track.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I was airlifted to a waiting ambulance, then rushed to the hospital.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
Moments later, Austin arrived and raced down the track. I struggled to communicate with him because of my difficulty with breathing. Austin refused to leave my side and desperately called out for help. When two hikers rushed to my aid, relief flooded through me. Phoning a rescue team, they held my hands tightly and told me help was on its way. Soon after, our friends found us and did their best to keep me calm. When the helicopter arrived 45 minutes later, the crew carried me onto a stretcher to safety.
I was airlifted to a waiting ambulance, then rushed to the hospital. There, the medical staff gave me a thorough examination and I had surgery four days later. “You’re lucky you landed the way you did,” one surgeon said after the surgery, adding if I hadn’t reacted that way, my injuries could have been a lot worse. Thankfully, after two weeks in hospital, I had recovered, and I was discharged. Although my accident was painful, it taught me that what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. After a brush with death, I’m determined to live every day to the fullest.

Over the last 15 years, Lee Anne Barnes has gone from a couch potato to a marathoner. The Mississippi teacher said she’s lost about 150 pounds since 2008, and has fulfilled a longtime dream — to run and finish the New York City(NYC) Marathon. “It was a dream that came true. I’ve been wanting to do it for 12 years,” Barnes said. Barnes has come a long way over the past decade. At one point, she weighed nearly 300 pounds. “I did have a big setback around 2018, but I got myself together and persevered (坚持不懈) and got with it again,” she said.
Running has been an essential part for Barnes. She has so far run many half marathons and four full marathons. “I can say my life is definitely better, not only for getting mentally and physically healthy but for meeting incredible people along,” Barnes said of her experience with running.
Although it wasn’t her first marathon Barnes said the NYC Marathon was still a challenging run. At mile 18, she said she started having “sharp back spasms (痉挛)”, but despite it all, she would not exchange the experience for anything. “The goal might not be exactly what you want, but you will persevere through it and try your best to reach the end goal.” In the end, Barnes completed the NYC Marathon with a final time of 6 hours, 58 minutes and 53 seconds.
“I credit everyone for my achievements. The crowds are simply amazing. And I’m also inspired by the people I’ve encountered. Believe in yourself that you can do it, and start with small achievable and measurable goals. Find something you like to do and something that inspires and motivates you,” she said.
Today, Barnes runs about five days a week and does both strength and cross training. She plans on running again soon, setting her sights on a half marathon in Arizona next February and running in all 50 states with her husband. She and her husband also hope to run the NYC Marathon together next year.

For this, we use many different hosts, such as microbes (微生物) and plant cells,” says research team leader, Dr Heiko Rischer from VTT.
The work started by initiating (创立) coffee cell cultures and establishing respective cell lines. In terms of smell and taste, the trained sensory panel and analytical examination found nothing divergent when comparing the lab’s coffee to ordinary coffee. “Our coffee is so real that it is hard to tell it from the conventional one. Coffee making is an art and involves many processes. Our work provides the basis for such work,” says Rischer.
The experience of drinking the very first cup was exciting. Rischer estimates expanding their production is still years away. Growing plant cells requires specific expertise when it is time to improve the process. And the coffee produced in lab conditions should first be approved as Novel Food by the European Commission before being marketed. “Therefore, that’s what we need to devote ourselves to next in the project,” says Rischer. “That said, we have proved that coffee produced in our lab can be real.”
The true impact of the project will happen through companies that are willing to rethink food material production and start driving commercial applications. VTT supports large enterprises and small companies in adopting opportunities in their product development.

It is not just the environment and the economy that are threatened by a warmer climate, but also culture and traditions around the world. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have mapped what little is known about how climate change is gradually destroying local knowledge and cultural heritage.
“We risk losing the memory of native people’s ways of life without this type of documentation,” says Guy Jackson at Lund University, one of the authors of a literature study. One conclusion of the study is that cultural heritage is primarily seen as something of material value, such as a historic building, and the loss is seen as a potential future problem, even though there is evidence that it is already happening.
Focusing on material losses means that important traditions and knowledge systems are overlooked. “There are also many non-material losses that are valuable for both individual identity and group identity,” says Guy Jackson.
The study shows a clear connection between loss of native cultural heritage and changes in the natural environment. For example, songs and working methods change when groups lose traditions linked to a physical location. One scientific article points out that identity is closely linked to the environment, “ Inuit people (因纽特人) in Canada are people of sea ice. If there is no. more sea ice, how can they be people of sea ice ”
Loss of traditions and cultural heritage can make it more difficult to deal with climate change, and weaken social togetherness, as people lose touch with traditional ways of life. It also raises the question whether we can expect native people to protect and preserve rainforests and other ecosystems.
The researchers hope that the literature study can read to more targeted research. They want to see a larger focus on how to handle, minimize and tackle future losses. “Science should contribute by developing practical solutions and strategies that help with adaptation to the losses that have already happened,” Guy Jackson concludes.
12. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs
A. Climate change causes cultural loss. B. The economy affects the environment.
C. Cultural loss is a current problem. D. The native people are being forgotten.
13. What does the study show about the loss of native cultural heritage
A. It is seriously overestimated by scientists. B. It has brought great damage to Canadians.
C. It has transformed global working methods. D. It is closely related to environmental changes.
14. What is paragraph 5 mainly about concerning the loss of traditions and cultural heritage
A. Its natural origins. B. Its negative results.
C. Its potential reasons. D. Its effective solutions.
15. What is the main idea of the text
A. The unknown threats to the local knowledge.
B. The practical solutions to some cultural issues.
C. The climate change’s effect on culture and traditions.
D The various losses of important culture and traditions.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Whether you’re heading out for a day trip or a quick weekend getaway (短期休假), we will share some travel tips in this guide to help you make your experience more enjoyable.
·Think about how you want to travel.
___16___ Sometimes it means the most enjoyable. Too much consideration on short journeys is not worth it. If you’ve got a preference for a certain means of transport, it’s often worth traveling that way for short distances, even if it ends up taking you a little longer.
·___17___
Some cities, like NYC, are quite walkable. Others simply aren’t. In Amsterdam, the best way to get about is by bike — whether you use the city’s shared bikes or rent one from your hotel. In Southeast Asia, you’d better rent a scooter (小型摩托车). ___18___ So don’t bother to find the so-called one-size-fits-all answer.
·Try all the available options.
If you’ re not sure about the best means of transport for you, experience them all. See what catching the subway is like, try cycling or riding the bus. It’s hard to predict what will be the most convenient. LA has a low- cost public transport network but car-pooling is cheaper, and scooters are the best for getting around West Hollywood. ___19___
·Don’t rely on map apps.
Map apps are useful, but they don’t take into account the possibility of packed subways, queues for taxis and the heat of a train in summer. ___20___ So don’t assume something is a 30-minute drive just because a map app says so — by the time you’ve driven halfway, you might still have another 30 minutes to go.
A. Don’t limit your choices.
B. It takes time to find the best.
C. Study the city you will travel to.
D. You won’t know until you try them all.
E. What works here might not work there.
F. The best doesn’t necessarily mean the fastest.
G. Besides, they are a bit behind the real traffic time.

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 day in February 2016, when my friend, Austin, invited me to hike the Ka’au Crater Trail in Honolulu, I jumped at the chance. Together with four of his friends, Jack, Dan, Carson and Mali, we were excited to check out the challenging track. We’d see three waterfalls, and a volcanic crater.
Stretching over eight kilometers, there were no steps on the track—just muddy paths formed on the rock face by other hikers. Climbing upstream, the journey was not for the faint-hearted (胆小的). We had to climb through thick roots and overgrown vegetation. But I knew the view from the top would be incredible. Finally, after an hour and a half, we stopped for our final rest before the peak.
“I’m going to check it out!” Austin said. “I’ll join you,” I replied, eager to see the top.
Racing up the last stretch, I felt excited as I walked over to the edge of the final waterfall where I turned my camera on. When I moved closer to the edge to get a better look, my foot suddenly gave way on a wet rock, sending me falling feet-first over the edge.
I desperately reached out to hang on to any rocks but I couldn’t get one as I fell to the bottom 15 meters below, scraping (刮) against rocks as I went.
As I fell, it felt like time stood still. “Was I going to be badly hurt ” I thought.
In a moment of clarity (清醒) before I reached the bottom, I twisted my body to the side and tucked (蜷缩) myself in a ball. It was a position I’d learned in volleyball training, aimed at reducing the impact of a fall. Landing in the water with a huge splash, after around 20 seconds I managed to lift my head out, but struggled to breath and I could taste blood.
“I’ve got to get myself out,” I realized, walking out to reach the edge of the pool as my visions became unclear. Holding the rocks tightly, I felt pain tore through my body and blood flowed from deep wounds on my left arm and left bottom.
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。
Moments later Austin arrived and raced down the track.

I was airlifted to a waiting ambulance, then rushed to the hospital.

Summer has arrived and where to eat in Chicago This collection of Chicago’s best restaurants provides answers to the classic question.
Luella’s Southern Kitchen TEL (773) 961-8196

With two smokers to prepare St. Louis- style roast meat, this destination in the Northwest Side neighborhood of Irving Park delivers barbecue in the styles of Kansas City and Memphis.

Over the last 15 years, Lee Anne Barnes has gone from a couch potato to a marathoner. The Mississippi teacher said she’s lost about 150 pounds since 2008, and has fulfilled a longtime dream — to run and finish the New York City(NYC) Marathon. “It was a dream that came true. I’ve been wanting to do it for 12 years,” Barnes said. Barnes has come a long way over the past decade. At one point, she weighed nearly 300 pounds. “I did have a big setback around 2018, but I got myself together and persevered (坚持不懈) and got with it again,” she said.
Running has been an essential part for Barnes. She has so far run many half marathons and four full marathons. “I can say my life is definitely better, not only for getting mentally and physically healthy but for meeting incredible people along,” Barnes said of her experience with running.
Although it wasn’t her first marathon, Barnes said the NYC Marathon was still a challenging run. At mile 18, she said she started having “sharp back spasms (痉挛)”, but despite it all, she would not exchange the experience for anything. “The goal might not be exactly what you want, but you will persevere through it and try your best to reach the end goal.” In the end, Barnes completed the NYC Marathon with a final time of 6 hours, 58 minutes and 53 seconds.
“I credit everyone for my achievements. The crowds are simply amazing. And I’m also inspired by the people I’ve encountered. Believe in yourself that you can do it, and start with small achievable and measurable goals. Find something you like to do and something that inspires and motivates you,” she said.
Today, Barnes runs about five days a week and does both strength and cross training. She plans on running again soon, setting her sights on a half marathon in Arizona next February and running in all 50 states with her husband. She and her husband also hope to run the NYC Marathon together next year.
4. What does the first paragraph mainly talk about
A. Barnes managed to lose weight via surgery. B. Barnes has overcome setbacks in her life.
C. Barnes has fulfilled her long-standing wish. D. Barnes has suffered a lot over the last 15 years.
5. What does Barnes try to convey in the second paragraph
A. She benefits a lot from running. B. She has been mentally cured.
C. She has run a lot of marathons in her life. D. She wants to make friends through running.
6. What do we know about Barnes’ participation in the NYC Marathon
A. She highly treasured the experience. B. She finished it with the best record.
C. She completed it without difficulty. D. She considered it the most challenging.
7. Which of the following can best describe Barnes
A. Demanding but patient. B. Stubborn but friendly.
C. Warm-hearted and optimistic. D. Strong-willed and ambitious.

【答案】Dear Jack,
Last Saturday witnessed a shocking feast of traditional Chinese culture in the school gym. Almost all the students and teachers participated in it.
The splendid performance started with Li Bai’s poem, “Invitation to Wine”, recited by a student from Class One, Grade Two. Then came Beijing Opera. The audience also appreciated fantastic folk dance, various songs, the qipao show and cross talk, which impressed me most.
All the performances were thought highly of. I hope you could come and experience Chinese culture in person. I’m sure you’ll be fascinated by it.
Yours,
Li Hua

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 day in February 2016, when my friend, Austin, invited me to hike the Ka’au Crater Trail in Honolulu, I jumped at the chance. Together with four of his friends, Jack, Dan, Carson and Mali, we were excited to check out the challenging track. We’d see three waterfalls, and a volcanic crater.
Stretching over eight kilometers, there were no steps on the track—just muddy paths formed on the rock face by other hikers. Climbing upstream, the journey was not for the faint-hearted (胆小的). We had to climb through thick roots and overgrown vegetation. But I knew the view from the top would be incredible. Finally, after an hour and a half, we stopped for our final rest before the peak.
“I’m going to check it out!” Austin said. “I’ll join you,” I replied, eager to see the top.
Racing up the last stretch, I felt excited as I walked over to the edge of the final waterfall where I turned my camera on. When I moved closer to the edge to get a better look, my foot suddenly gave way on a wet rock, sending me falling feet-first over the edge.
I desperately reached out to hang on to any rocks but I couldn’t get one as I fell to the bottom 15 meters below, scraping (刮) against rocks as I went.
As I fell, it felt like time stood still. “Was I going to be badly hurt ” I thought.
In a moment of clarity (清醒) before I reached the bottom, I twisted my body to the side and tucked (蜷缩) myself in a ball. It was a position I’d learned in volleyball training, aimed at reducing the impact of a fall. Landing in the water with a huge splash, after around 20 seconds I managed to lift my head out, but struggled to breath and I could taste blood.
“I’ve got to get myself out,” I realized, walking out to reach the edge of the pool as my visions became unclear. Holding the rocks tightly, I felt pain tore through my body and blood flowed from deep wounds on my left arm and left bottom.
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。
Moments later, Austin arrived and raced down the track.

【答案】范文
Moments later, Austin arrived and raced down the track. I struggled to communicate with him because of my difficulty with breathing. Austin refused to leave my side and desperately called out for help. When two hikers rushed to my aid, relief flooded through me. Phoning a rescue team, they held my hands tightly and told me help was on its way. Soon after, our friends found us and did their best to keep me calm. When the helicopter arrived 45 minutes later, the crew carried me onto a stretcher to safety.
I was airlifted to a waiting ambulance, then rushed to the hospital. There, the medical staff gave me a thorough examination and I had surgery four days later. “You’re lucky you landed the way you did,” one surgeon said after the surgery, adding if I hadn’t reacted that way, my injuries could have been a lot worse. Thankfully, after two weeks in hospital, I had recovered, and I was discharged. Although my accident was painful, it taught me that what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. After a brush with death, I’m determined to live every day to the fullest.
