As I grow up, our shelves were full of cookbooks, each full of my mum’s handwriting. Included in the handwriting were dates when recipes had been cooked, who they’d been cooked for, whether or not they were any good, and any alterations that had to be made (“too salty,” “double the recipe,” “didn’t have this, used that instead”). Where other forms of literature can feel rare, even precious to some, cookbooks permit this kind of writing.
Truth be told, cookbooks I often go back to are obvious before you even turn to them—wrinkled paper, spotted and marked. I’ve halved the amount of sugar in a cake recipe from Rukmini Iyers’ The Green Roasting Tin. I’ve added a spicy mix to a carrot salad from Ruby Tandoh’s Flavour. For better or worse, the cookbooks I own are owned by nobody else.
If you do this too, and feel guilty about writing through thoroughly tested recipes or messing up beautiful paper, you needn’t. The practice of writing on cookbooks is essential to the experience of reading, and indeed, using them. Often these notes can provide a window into the owner’s life, which is one of the reasons why cookbooks are often handed down within families. In many cases they are the only written records we have from our loved ones. I think that they are telling stories and inviting conversations. Implied in conversation is talking back, exchanging something with the loved ones, and maybe exchanging something with a version of yourself in the future.
Sometimes I wonder what I’m buying when I buy cookbooks. Is it inspiration to do something I’ve not done before, or permission to give myself the time to feel addicted to a hobby My friend Ella sums up her own insight into food writing simply with “writing about food is writing about being alive,” so maybe that’s what I’m buying, and what we all are.
4. What can we know about the author’s mom
A. She was a professional cook. B. She collected literature works.
C. She often made notes on cookbooks. D. She wrote popular cookbooks.
5. What does the author think of the writing in cookbooks
A. It improves life quality. B. It carries future dreams.
C. It helps comprehend its writer. D. It makes recipes easy to read.
6. Why does the author buy cookbooks
A To record her life of cooking. B. To meet her hobby.
C. To share ideas with friends. D. To gain cooking inspiration.
7. What is the best title of the text
A. Why We Need to Buy Cookbooks
B. How We Adjust Recipes in Cookbooks
C. Why We Should Be Writing in Cookbooks
D. How We Pass Down Cookbooks with Notes
C
A national engineering laboratory in Tianjin is the base of the world’s largest and most advanced sound source identification system for commercial use. At first glance, the equipment, known as a sound camera and consisting of a big wheel with a supporting structure, looks like a mini Ferris wheel that lacks seats and cannot move. A closer look at the 5-meter-diameter wheel reveals high-tech features like an array (排列) of 144 sensors used to capture, identify and analyze the source of noise on railways. “It is like a sound radar for discovering noise,” said Hu Wenlin, vice head of the National Engineering Laboratory for Noise Control and Reduction at China Railway Design Corporation.
Hu said that the data produced by the machine allows engineers to better understand the sounds generated when a train passes by, such as which part produces the most noise. After analyzing the data, engineers can draw up precise plans to reduce noise and make construction plans accordingly. For example, if a railway passes a residential area with stricter noise abatement requirements, engineers can come up with a plan to minimize noise to the lowest level, usually at greater expense. But if a railway passes a place with more relaxed noise control requirements, designers can make a cheaper plan.
Noise control technologies have been applied to dozens of major railway projects across the country. The sound camera, fully developed in China, is advanced by world standards, said Wang Changjin, the director of the National Engineering Laboratory. Before the sound camera was available, engineers usually used a pole fitted with sensors to collect sound data along railway lines. “It cannot be compared to the technique we are using now, which increases accuracy greatly,” Wang said.
The machine is just one of many innovations developed by the laboratory. It has conducted many research projects on railways, leading to the development of key noise control equipment for high-speed railways and bringing quieter lives to people living near the lines.
8. What can we know about the sound camera from Paragraph 1
A. It is invented by Hu Wenlin.
B. It is a sound radar in the shape of a wheel.
C. It is fitted with many sensors to study noise.
D. It transforms sound information into images.
9. What does the underlined word “abatement” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Monitoring. B. Recording.
C. Reducing. D. Analyzing.
10. What highlights the sound camera according to Paragraph 3
A. It can move like a wheel. B. It has been applied to other fields.
C. It is available for everyone. D. It operates far more accurately.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. Technology Frees People from Noise
B. Sound Camera Makes Rail Lines Quieter
C. Importance of Conducting Sound Research
D. Influence of Noise Pollution on People’s Life

Turning eleven was a big deal, and she had always celebrated it with a grand party surrounded by her friends. However, this year was different. The burden of excessive homework and her parents’ struggling business weighed heavily on her, forcing Sally to make the difficult decision of not having a birthday party, even though it was an event she enjoyed dearly every year.
One day, during break, her best friend, Jane, with a curious look in her eyes, approached. “Are you going to have a birthday party this year ” Jane asked, sensing Sally’s sadness.
“No,” Sally sighed and replied sadly, “There’s just too much going on and my parents are going through financial difficulties.”
She smiled weakly, trying to conceal her immense disappointment and stress, but Jane saw through her pretence (假装) easily. Jane nodded thoughtfully and did not say anything. After the break, Sally saw her talking to one of their classmates, Sarah, secretively. Curious, Sally went over to them, but as soon as Jane saw her, she quickly walked away. Sally was startled by Jane’s strange actions and turned towards Sarah.
“What did she say ” Sally asked.
However, Sarah simply shrugged and walked away with Jane, leaving Sally standing there, feeling left out and anxious.
What is happening Sally wondered anxiously. Are they keeping something from me
As Sally’s birthday drew nearer, Jane was often found chatting softly with her other classmates. Whenever Sally went over to them, they would just walk away or tell her that they were talking about a secret which Sally was not allowed to know. Jane has never kept secrets from me before, Sally thought. Her heart fell. Even her friends were distancing themselves from her! She swung between confusion and sadness with each passing moment, desperately trying to figure out what was happening. Why were her friends distancing themselves from her And what were they hiding

【答案】On the day of Sally’s birthday, she went to school and found her classroom in total darkness. A wave of confusion washed over her as she stepped hesitantly into the room, her heart pounding. She reached for the light switch, but before her hand could find it, a chorus of voices broke the silence. “Surprise!”, her classmates, led by Jane, jumped out from all sorts of hiding places. As the room flooded with light, Sally’s eyes widened in surprise and disbelief. The classroom was decorated with balloons and streamers, a beautiful cake sat on the teacher’s desk, and in the corner, a pile of presents waited to be unwrapped.
Tears sprang from Sally’s eyes and her face broke into a radiant smile. She turned towards Jane, who was grinning from ear to ear. “We knew you couldn’t have a party this year, so we decided to bring the party to you,” Jane said, her eyes twinkling with mischief. The cloud of confusion lifted from Sally’s mind as she realized that her friends hadn’t been distancing themselves from her, they were planning this surprise all along. The sadness that had been looming over her birthday disappeared, replaced with joy and gratitude. As she cut the cake and opened her presents, Sally realized that this was indeed a grand birthday party, just like the ones she used to have.

As I grow up, our shelves were full of cookbooks, each full of my mum’s handwriting. Included in the handwriting were dates when recipes had been cooked, who they’d been cooked for, whether or not they were any good, and any alterations that had to be made (“too salty,” “double the recipe,” “didn’t have this, used that instead”). Where other forms of literature can feel rare, even precious to some, cookbooks permit this kind of writing.
Truth be told, cookbooks I often go back to are obvious before you even turn to them—wrinkled paper, spotted and marked. I’ve halved the amount of sugar in a cake recipe from Rukmini Iyers’ The Green Roasting Tin. I’ve added a spicy mix to a carrot salad from Ruby Tandoh’s Flavour. For better or worse, the cookbooks I own are owned by nobody else.
If you do this too, and feel guilty about writing through thoroughly tested recipes or messing up beautiful paper, you needn’t. The practice of writing on cookbooks is essential to the experience of reading, and indeed, using them. Often these notes can provide a window into the owner’s life, which is one of the reasons why cookbooks are often handed down within families. In many cases they are the only written records we have from our loved ones. I think that they are telling stories and inviting conversations. Implied in conversation is talking back, exchanging something with the loved ones, and maybe exchanging something with a version of yourself in the future.
Sometimes I wonder what I’m buying when I buy cookbooks. Is it inspiration to do something I’ve not done before, or permission to give myself the time to feel addicted to a hobby My friend Ella sums up her own insight into food writing simply with “writing about food is writing about being alive,” so maybe that’s what I’m buying, and what we all are.
4. What can we know about the author’s mom
A. She was a professional cook. B. She collected literature works.
C. She often made notes on cookbooks. D. She wrote popular cookbooks.
5. What does the author think of the writing in cookbooks

A national engineering laboratory in Tianjin is the base of the world’s largest and most advanced sound source identification system for commercial use. At first glance, the equipment, known as a sound camera and consisting of a big wheel with a supporting structure, looks like a mini Ferris wheel that lacks seats and cannot move. A closer look at the 5-meter-diameter wheel reveals high-tech features like an array (排列) of 144 sensors used to capture, identify and analyze the source of noise on railways. “It is like a sound radar for discovering noise,” said Hu Wenlin, vice head of the National Engineering Laboratory for Noise Control and Reduction at China Railway Design Corporation.
Hu said that the data produced by the machine allows engineers to better understand the sounds generated when a train passes by, such as which part produces the most noise. After analyzing the data, engineers can draw up precise plans to reduce noise and make construction plans accordingly. For example, if a railway passes a residential area with stricter noise abatement requirements, engineers can come up with a plan to minimize noise to the lowest level, usually at greater expense. But if a railway passes a place with more relaxed noise control requirements, designers can make a cheaper plan.
Noise control technologies have been applied to dozens of major railway projects across the country. The sound camera, fully developed in China, is advanced by world standards, said Wang Changjin, the director of the National Engineering Laboratory. Before the sound camera was available, engineers usually used a pole fitted with sensors to collect sound data along railway lines. “It cannot be compared to the technique we are using now, which increases accuracy greatly,” Wang said.
The machine is just one of many innovations developed by the laboratory. It has conducted many research projects on railways, leading to the development of key noise control equipment for high-speed railways and bringing quieter lives to people living near the lines.
8. What can we know about the sound camera from Paragraph 1
A. It is invented by Hu Wenlin.
B. It is a sound radar in the shape of a wheel.
C. It is fitted with many sensors to study noise.
D. It transforms sound information into images.
9. What does the underlined word “abatement” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Monitoring. B. Recording.
C. Reducing. D. Analyzing.
10. What highlights the sound camera according to Paragraph 3
A. It can move like a wheel. B. It has been applied to other fields.
C. It is available for everyone. D. It operates far more accurately.
11. What is the best title for the text
A. Technology Frees People from Noise
B. Sound Camera Makes Rail Lines Quieter
C. Importance of Conducting Sound Research
D. Influence of Noise Pollution on People’s Life

Sally’s birthday was approaching and the excitement that usually filled her heart was now replaced with disappointment and stress. Turning eleven was a big deal, and she had always celebrated it with a grand party surrounded by her friends. However, this year was different. The burden of excessive homework and her parents’ struggling business weighed heavily on her, forcing Sally to make the difficult decision of not having a birthday party, even though it was an event she enjoyed dearly every year.
One day, during break, her best friend, Jane, with a curious look in her eyes, approached. “Are you going to have a birthday party this year ” Jane asked, sensing Sally’s sadness.
“No,” Sally sighed and replied sadly, “There’s just too much going on and my parents are going through financial difficulties.”
She smiled weakly, trying to conceal her immense disappointment and stress, but Jane saw through her pretence (假装) easily. Jane nodded thoughtfully and did not say anything. After the break, Sally saw her talking to one of their classmates, Sarah, secretively. Curious, Sally went over to them, but as soon as Jane saw her, she quickly walked away. Sally was startled by Jane’s strange actions and turned towards Sarah.
“What did she say ” Sally asked.
However, Sarah simply shrugged and walked away with Jane, leaving Sally standing there, feeling left out and anxious.
What is happening Sally wondered anxiously. Are they keeping something from me
As Sally’s birthday drew nearer, Jane was often found chatting softly with her other classmates. Whenever Sally went over to them, they would just walk away or tell her that they were talking about a secret which Sally was not allowed to know. Jane has never kept secrets from me before, Sally thought. Her heart fell. Even her friends were distancing themselves from her! She swung between confusion and sadness with each passing moment, desperately trying to figure out what was happening. Why were her friends distancing themselves from her And what were they hiding

【5题】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The practice of writing on cookbooks is essential to the experience of reading, and indeed, using them. Often these notes can provide a window into the owner’s life, which is one of the reasons why cookbooks are often handed down within families. In many cases they are the only written records we have from our loved ones. I think that they are telling stories and inviting conversations.( 在烹饪书籍上书写的习惯对于阅读体验和实际使用它们而言至关重要。通常这些笔记可以展示书主人的生活，这也是烹饪书籍经常在家庭中传承的原因之一。在许多情况下，它们是我们从亲人那里唯一拥有的书面记录。我认为它们正在讲述故事并引发对话) ”可知，作者提到食谱中的写作即笔记对于阅读和使用食谱至关重要。这些笔记揭示所有者的生活，引发对话并讲述故事。这表明作者认为食谱中的书写的笔记有助于理解笔记书写者。 故选C项。
【6题】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Sometimes I wonder what I’m buying when I buy cookbooks. Is it inspiration to do something I’ve not done before, or permission to give myself the time to feel addicted to a hobby My friend Ella sums up her own insight into food writing simply with “writing about food is writing about being alive,” so maybe that’s what I’m buying, and what we all are.(有时候我会想，在购买烹饪书籍时我在买什么。是激发我尚未尝试过的事物的灵感，还是允许自己花时间沉迷于一项爱好的许可？我的朋友艾拉简单地总结了她对食物写作的见解：“写食物就是写活着”，也许那就是我和我们所有人要购买的东西) ”可知，作者赞同朋友的见解“写食物就是写活着”，作者购买食谱是为了在食谱上写笔记，记录获得尝试新事物的灵感或自己一些享受烹饪生活的美好时光。故选A项。
【7题】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章通过讲述作者在成长过程中与烹饪书籍的亲密关系，探讨了在烹饪书籍中写作的重要性和个人体验。作者通过描述在烹饪书籍上留下的笔记和修改，以及通过这些记载展示生活和传承的意义，表达了对于在书籍上书写的理解和认可。同时，作者也反思自己购买烹饪书籍的动机，故标题“为什么我们应该在食谱中写作”体现文章这一主旨。故选C。
【答案】8. C 9. C 10. D 11. B
【8题】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“At first glance, the equipment, known as a sound camera and consisting of a big wheel with a supporting structure, looks like a mini Ferris wheel that lacks seats and cannot move. A closer look at the 5-meter-diameter wheel reveals high-tech features like an array (排列) of 144 sensors used to capture, identify and analyze the source of noise on railways.(乍一看，这种被称为声音相机的设备由一个带有支撑结构的大轮子组成，看起来像是一个缺少座位且不能移动的小型摩天轮。仔细观察直径为5米的轮子，可以看到高科技特性，如用于捕捉、识别和分析铁路噪声源的144个传感器阵列。)”可知，声音相机装有许多传感器来研究噪音。故选C项。
【9题】
词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“For example, if a railway passes a residential area with stricter noise abatement requirements, engineers can come up with a plan to minimize noise to the lowest level, usually at greater expense.(例如，如果一条铁路经过一个噪音abatement要求更严格的住宅区，工程师可以制定一个计划，将噪音降至最低，通常需要付出更大的代价。)”可知，工程师们制定计划去将噪音降到最低，所以经过的地区是对“降低”噪音要求更严格的地区。这里的“minimize noise to the lowest level”和划线词所在的“noise abatement”具有相近的含义，因此可知划线词意思是“降低”。故选C项。
【10题】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“Before the sound camera was available, engineers usually used a pole fitted with sensors to collect sound data along railway lines. ‘It cannot be compared to the technique we are using now, which increases accuracy greatly,’ Wang said.(在有声音摄像头之前，工程师们通常使用装有传感器的杆子来收集铁路沿线的声音数据。王说：“这无法与我们现在使用的技术相比，后者大大提高了准确性。)”可知，声音相机的一个亮点在于其操作远比以往的方法精确得多。故选D项。
【11题】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“The machine is just one of many innovations developed by the laboratory. It has conducted many research projects on railways, leading to the development of key noise control equipment for high-speed railways and bringing quieter lives to people living near the lines.(这台机器只是实验室开发的众多创新之一。它对铁路进行了许多研究项目，为高速铁路开发了关键的噪声控制设备，为居住在线路附近的人们带来了更安静的生活。)”并结合全文内容可知，本文主要介绍了一种名为声音相机的创新技术，该技术能够有效地识别和分析铁路沿线的噪音来源，从而帮助工程师采取措施降低噪音污染，使居住在铁路附近的居民享有更加宁静的生活。因此，最佳标题应突出声音相机的作用和影响，选项B（声音相机让铁路线更加安静）符合题意。故选B项。
【答案】12. G 13. E 14. D 15. C 16. B

(移动技术改变了我们的沟通方式。)”可知，本段讲述的是移动技术对沟通方式的改变。根据空格前句“In the past, writing a letter or finding a wired telephone was the best way to communicate remotely with someone. (在过去，写信或找有线电话是与某人进行远程通信的最佳方式。)”可知，这里介绍的是过去的沟通方式。E项意为“如今，你的指尖有了更有效的选择。”选项中“Nowadays”和上文的“In the past”形成对照关系，能够引起下文对现在沟通方式的举例。故选E。

【15题】
根据空格后句“As mobile technologies have become more and more widespread in today’s society, research has begun to connect heavy day-to-day use with a number of side effects, the majority of which are related to mental health.

【答案】On the day of Sally’s birthday, she went to school and found her classroom in total darkness. A wave of confusion washed over her as she stepped hesitantly into the room, her heart pounding. She reached for the light switch, but before her hand could find it, a chorus of voices broke the silence. “Surprise!”, her classmates, led by Jane, jumped out from all sorts of hiding places. As the room flooded with light, Sally’s eyes widened in surprise and disbelief. The classroom was decorated with balloons and streamers, a beautiful cake sat on the teacher’s desk, and in the corner, a pile of presents waited to be unwrapped.
Tears sprang from Sally’s eyes and her face broke into a radiant smile. She turned towards Jane, who was grinning from ear to ear. “We knew you couldn’t have a party this year, so we decided to bring the party to you,” Jane said, her eyes twinkling with mischief. The cloud of confusion lifted from Sally’s mind as she realized that her friends hadn’t been distancing themselves from her, they were planning this surprise all along. The sadness that had been looming over her birthday disappeared, replaced with joy and gratitude. As she cut the cake and opened her presents, Sally realized that this was indeed a grand birthday party, just like the ones she used to have.
