Malonga was born in Brazzaville，Congo，where his grandmother owned a restaurant.His love for food and cooking started there.He spent his teenage years in Germany and he started his career working in top European restaurants.
In 2015，he competed in the French Top Chef TV show as the first Black chef to do so.When it came time to open his own restaurant，he took a two ﹣ year tour of the African continent，seeking inspiration.
He opened Meza Malonga in 2020.Dinners at Meza Malonga have no menu —the meal changes based on seasonally available ingredients（食材）and what's exciting Malonga at the moment.Giant windows open onto the hills of Kigali.The chefs present each course.There's nobody yelling（大喊）， "Yes chef!" and Malonga pointedly refers to "our restaurant…our menu…our project." His longest employee is Frank Buhigiro，who says "The way we work is like we are family.You know，we don't have pressure because we get time to think and create."
The restaurant is only open for eight months out of the year.For the other four months，Malonga and his team travel the continent. They experience different African cuisines first ﹣ hand，and source unique ingredients. But it's more driven，more intense，than just sourcing. Malonga has visited 48 African countries，eating his way across the continent. Upon returning to Kigali，he brings back new flavors as souvenirs（纪念品）.He describes new tastes like a shiny new toy. "Right now，I'm eating cassava leaves —I love it!"

There comes a time for every family when the tables turn and the parent has to answer to the child.Mine came recently when my wife and I stayed with our elder son Nathaniel in Los Angeles—our first visit in several years and the longest since he moved west in 2014.A whole week under his roof!
"Dad，don't leave the water running when you brush your teeth，" Nathaniel warned on our first night.The same thing happened when I washed my hands.All right，I figured，this is California，where drought is a concern.
More commands followed.Don't wear a neck warmer when walking the dogs in the morning—it will warm up when we get to the park.This is how you should refold the rug （毯子） over the chair after you use it.
At first I wondered how I'd raised such a dominator.Then I remembered how often I threw the golden rule of parenting at Nathaniel and his siblings when they were young. "Someday，you'll have a home of your own and can live however you want，" I'd say. "Until then，you'll have to do as we ask." Now it was payback time.
So I smilingly followed Nathaniel's household commands.
Our role change gave me hope for his future parenting ability.We were walking along El Matador Beach on our last afternoon and hit an extended patch of rocks﹣clearly the end of the line，I thought.But Nathaniel persuaded me across one large stone to the next，patiently telling me where to place my arthritic （关节炎的） feet and hands as ocean waves came close.I was terrified，but after a couple hundred yards we made it to a fresh sandy stretch.
"You did it!I'm really proud，" he said，smiling，as if I'd just learned to ride a bike.It was then that I knew for sure that the son also rises to fatherhood.
（46）Why did the author and his wife stay in Los Angeles？
A.For a visit.
B.For business.
C.For drought relief.
D.For medical treatment.
（47）Which is most likely to be a command from Nathaniel？
A.Never speak to me like that again.
B.One pump of hand cleaner is enough.
C.Stop crying and do something about it.
D.I'd like you to make two cups of coffee for us.
（48）What does the underline word “drought” in the second paragraph mean
A. difficult B wet C dry D thunderstorm
（49）Which word can be used to describe Nathaniel？
A.Merciless. B.Indifferent. C.Attentive. D.Playful.
（50）Which can be a suitable title for the text？
A.Goodbye，Fatherhood. B.The Pain of Parenting.
C.The Dominator Is Back. D.A Week under My Son's Roof.
D
" There are few things more delightful than seeing a child's eyes light up as they pick up a present and wonder what might be inside，" says Chaz Firestone，an assistant professor of psychological science，" What our work shows is that your mind is able to track the information they are seeking. Just as they，might be able to tell what's inside the box by shaking it around，you can tell what they are trying to figure out when they shake it."
A team of researchers recently conducted a fascinating study to look into the science behind this present﹣ guessing phenomenon. They asked 500 volunteers to watch two videos，each showing someone shaking a box of objects with different intentions. In one video，the person was attempting to determine the number of items inside the box，while in the other，they aimed to identify the shapes of the objects. Surprisingly，within a few seconds，the study participants were able to accurately determine the intention behind each shake.
According to the researchers，this ability to quickly distinguish the purpose behind a shake involves numerous mental calculations and observations of subtle cues to understand what someone is trying to learn from their surroundings. Yet，we seem to do it easily." The way you would shake a present to find out if it's one thing or many things，or if it's a small thing or a big thing，can be subtly different， " says Sholei Croom，a graduate student." But people are amazing at picking up on such differences."
While the study focused primarily on gift﹣ shaking，it opens the door to a deeper understanding of human perception and cognitive abilities. In the future the team would like to pursue whether people observe the difference between what you want to do and what you want to learn.They' re also interested in when these skills emerge in human development and if it's possible to build computational models to detail exactly how observed physical actions show cognitive intent.
（51）What does the new study focus on about the box﹣ shaking？
A.The motivation to recognize the goals.
B.The interaction between vision and thought.
C.The way to track the information with mind.
D.The psychological insights into emotions.
（52）What did the participants do in the experiment？
A.Report their opinions on videos. B.Identify various shaking ways.
C.Infer the meaning of the shaking. D.Guess the contents in the box.
（53）The ability that people can reveal the purpose of subtle movements is based on
A.the comprehension of small clues B.the quicker reaction to movements
C.the surroundings people are in D.the prediction of the next move
(54) What does the underline word “ subtle” mean
A. intensely B fiercely C mildly D slightly
（55）What is the possible head of the last paragraph？
A.Applications Are Promising B.Tell Hand from Head
C.Where the Research Will Go D.Limitation Still Exists
四、阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
I always wanted to be like explorers Marco Polo or Ibn Battuta. They traveled the world with curiosity and a desire to share with others the marvels they discovered. They had no Internet，guidebooks，social media，blogs，vlogs，reviews，or slideshows. And with so much information available，how can one possibly be like these travel writing pioneers？
The answer may shock you as it did my travel journalism students. I plan nothing in advance except for a place to stay and let the place reveal itself to me on its own terms. And how does that work out？I have contributed to 130 international publications with articles about what I discovered.
I do not recommend this approach to everyone. But what I do suggest is that you give up your desire to have everything planned in advance，and that you stop obsessing about all the trip details and trying to make it a perfect trip. Whether you are traveling with a tour group，friends，family，or solo，leave unstructured time，so magic can happen.
Many people I know approach travel like a job，and a stressful one at that. They want to make sure they cover all the bases and don't miss anything. But in my opinion，they copy what others have done before them and check each site off on a list.
So how do you make your trip unique？I call it slow travel. It's not just about slowing down. Instead of running from place to place，you look around you，you take your environment in，you notice things that perhaps no one has ever noticed before. You can start talking to people. Random people you meet and talk to are a key element you cannot plan for. They may tell you about places and events that will enrich your trip. They give you local insider tips.They may even accompany you or invite you to join them for an experience. They have enriched every trip I have taken .And the more you talk to people—even if you are shy—the more you develop the self﹣confidence to do more of it. And then you are really in the present，having an experience that is uniquely yours.
（56）Why did the author want to be like explorers Marco Polo or Ibn Battuta？(no more than 20 words)
___________________________________________________________
（57）What does the author think of most people's way of travelling？(no more than 16 words)
__________________________________________________________
（58）What does the underline word in paragraph 3 mean (no more than 1 word)
________________________________________________________
(59) In author’s opinion, how do we make our trip unique？(no more than 3 words)

（60）Besides slow travel，in what other aspect（s） in our life do you think we should slow down？Why？ （In about 40 words）

Malonga was born in Brazzaville，Congo，where his grandmother owned a restaurant.His love for food and cooking started there.He spent his teenage years in Germany and he started his career working in top European restaurants.
In 2015，he competed in the French Top Chef TV show as the first Black chef to do so.When it came time to open his own restaurant，he took a two ﹣ year tour of the African continent，seeking inspiration.
He opened Meza Malonga in 2020.Dinners at Meza Malonga have no menu —the meal changes based on seasonally available ingredients（食材）and what's exciting Malonga at the moment.Giant windows open onto the hills of Kigali.The chefs present each course.There's nobody yelling（大喊）， "Yes chef!" and Malonga pointedly refers to "our restaurant…our menu…our project."

There comes a time for every family when the tables turn and the parent has to answer to the child.Mine came recently when my wife and I stayed with our elder son Nathaniel in Los Angeles—our first visit in several years and the longest since he moved west in 2014.A whole week under his roof!
"Dad，don't leave the water running when you brush your teeth，" Nathaniel warned on our first night.The same thing happened when I washed my hands.All right，I figured，this is California，where drought is a concern.
More commands followed.Don't wear a neck warmer when walking the dogs in the morning—it will warm up when we get to the park.This is how you should refold the rug （毯子） over the chair after you use it.
At first I wondered how I'd raised such a dominator.Then I remembered how often I threw the golden rule of parenting at Nathaniel and his siblings when they were young. "Someday，you'll have a home of your own and can live however you want，" I'd say. "Until then，you'll have to do as we ask." Now it was payback time.
So I smilingly followed Nathaniel's household commands.
Our role change gave me hope for his future parenting ability.We were walking along El Matador Beach on our last afternoon and hit an extended patch of rocks﹣clearly the end of the line，I thought.But Nathaniel persuaded me across one large stone to the next，patiently telling me where to place my arthritic （关节炎的） feet and hands as ocean waves came close.I was terrified，but after a couple hundred yards we made it to a fresh sandy stretch.
"You did it!I'm really proud，" he said，smiling，as if I'd just learned to ride a bike.It was then that I knew for sure that the son also rises to fatherhood.
（46）Why did the author and his wife stay in Los Angeles？
A.For a visit.
B.For business.
C.For drought relief.
D.For medical treatment.
（47）Which is most likely to be a command from Nathaniel？
A.Never speak to me like that again.

C.Stop crying and do something about it.
D.I'd like you to make two cups of coffee for us.

（49）Which word can be used to describe Nathaniel？
A.Merciless. B.Indifferent. C.Attentive. D.Playful.
（50）Which can be a suitable title for the text？
A.Goodbye，Fatherhood. B.The Pain of Parenting.
C.The Dominator Is Back. D.A Week under My Son's Roof.

" There are few things more delightful than seeing a child's eyes light up as they pick up a present and wonder what might be inside，" says Chaz Firestone，an assistant professor of psychological science，" What our work shows is that your mind is able to track the information they are seeking. Just as they，might be able to tell what's inside the box by shaking it around，you can tell what they are trying to figure out when they shake it."
A team of researchers recently conducted a fascinating study to look into the science behind this present﹣ guessing phenomenon. They asked 500 volunteers to watch two videos，each showing someone shaking a box of objects with different intentions. In one video，the person was attempting to determine the number of items inside the box，while in the other，they aimed to identify the shapes of the objects. Surprisingly，within a few seconds，the study participants were able to accurately determine the intention behind each shake.
According to the researchers，this ability to quickly distinguish the purpose behind a shake involves numerous mental calculations and observations of subtle cues to understand what someone is trying to learn from their surroundings. Yet，we seem to do it easily." The way you would shake a present to find out if it's one thing or many things，or if it's a small thing or a big thing，can be subtly different， " says Sholei Croom，a graduate student." But people are amazing at picking up on such differences."
While the study focused primarily on gift﹣ shaking，it opens the door to a deeper understanding of human perception and cognitive abilities. In the future the team would like to pursue whether people observe the difference between what you want to do and what you want to learn.They' re also interested in when these skills emerge in human development and if it's possible to build computational models to detail exactly how observed physical actions show cognitive intent.
（51）What does the new study focus on about the box﹣ shaking？
A.The motivation to recognize the goals.
B.The interaction between vision and thought.
C.The way to track the information with mind.
D.The psychological insights into emotions.
（52）What did the participants do in the experiment？
A.Report their opinions on videos. B.Identify various shaking ways.
C.Infer the meaning of the shaking. D.Guess the contents in the box.
（53）The ability that people can reveal the purpose of subtle movements is based on
A.the comprehension of small clues B.the quicker reaction to movements
C.the surroundings people are in D.the prediction of the next move
(54) What does the underline word “ subtle” mean
A. intensely B fiercely C mildly D slightly
（55）What is the possible head of the last paragraph？
A.Applications Are Promising B.Tell Hand from Head
C.Where the Research Will Go D.Limitation Still Exists
四、阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
I always wanted to be like explorers Marco Polo or Ibn Battuta. They traveled the world with curiosity and a desire to share with others the marvels they discovered. They had no Internet，guidebooks，social media，blogs，vlogs，reviews，or slideshows. And with so much information available，how can one possibly be like these travel writing pioneers？
The answer may shock you as it did my travel journalism students. I plan nothing in advance except for a place to stay and let the place reveal itself to me on its own terms. And how does that work out？I have contributed to 130 international publications with articles about what I discovered.
I do not recommend this approach to everyone. But what I do suggest is that you give up your desire to have everything planned in advance，and that you stop obsessing about all the trip details and trying to make it a perfect trip. Whether you are traveling with a tour group，friends，family，or solo，leave unstructured time，so magic can happen.
Many people I know approach travel like a job，and a stressful one at that. They want to make sure they cover all the bases and don't miss anything. But in my opinion，they copy what others have done before them and check each site off on a list.
So how do you make your trip unique？I call it slow travel. It's not just about slowing down. Instead of running from place to place，you look around you，you take your environment in，you notice things that perhaps no one has ever noticed before. You can start talking to people. Random people you meet and talk to are a key element you cannot plan for. They may tell you about places and events that will enrich your trip. They give you local insider tips.They may even accompany you or invite you to join them for an experience. They have enriched every trip I have taken .And the more you talk to people—even if you are shy—the more you develop the self﹣confidence to do more of it. And then you are really in the present，having an experience that is uniquely yours.

Good morning，everyone!
I hold the belief that a role model is someone worth learning from and someone who inspires and guides others.
The most influential role model for me is Quan Hong Chan，who is a 14﹣year﹣old girl.She began to receive diving training in 2014，and won the gold medal in the 10﹣meter platform competition on August 5，2021.It is her hard training that makes her so successful.
She also has a strong will.I think I should learn from her.She never gives up however hard the life is.And at the same time，she is also filial.Through her hard work and effort，she looks after her mother well.
Thank you for your listening.
