A
Hangzhou dishes are one of the eight great cuisines of China. They are noted for their seasonal ingredients, elaborate preparation, sophisticated cooking techniques, and refreshing taste. A trip to Hangzhou isn’t complete without trying some of its specialty dishes. Here are a few must-try meals. Each of them has an age old story.
Dongpo Pork (red-braised pork belly)
The dish was named after a Song Dynasty (960-1279) poet and official, Su Dongpo. When Su was banished to Hangzhou, he initiated a thorough dredging of West Lake. This had great benefits for the locals. To express their gratitude, they gifted Su a lot of pork. Su added his own twist to the traditional cooking process of braised pork belly. He added yellow wine and stewed it on low heat. He distributed the dish to those who worked on the project. It became widely favored.
West Lake Carp in Vinegar Gravy
Legend has it that two brothers surnamed Song lived in Hangzhou. The elder brother was murdered by a local villain. In desperation and fear for his safety, the younger brother was forced into exile. During his farewell dinner, his recently widowed sister-in-law cooked a dish. It was both sweet and sour. She was implying that the young Song should “not forget the salt amid the sweet”. The younger brother later returned as a high ranking official, avenged his brother’s murder, and sought out his sister. The dish has been handed down from generation to generation.
Sister Song’s Fish Soup
During the Song Dynasty, a woman nicknamed Sister Song settled down alongside West Lake. She made a living selling fish soup. On a trip to West Lake, Emperor Gaozong tasted her fish soup and spoke very highly of it. The soup’s reputation spread far and wide, and it became a calling card for the city.
Sauteed Shrimps with Longjing Tea
The story of this dish relates to Emperor Qianlong. He ruled from 1644-1911. On an excursion to Hangzhou, one of his chefs accidentally dropped Longjing tea leaves into the sauteed shrimp. The lingering fragrance of the tea combined with the divine texture of the shrimp won him over. A classic Hangzhou dish was born.
1. What do the four dishes have in common
A. They were all born by accident. B. They were all related to ancient anecdotes.
C. They all came into being in the Song Dynasty. D. They were all loved by people having a sweet tooth.
2. Which statement related to West Lake Carp in Vinegar Gravy is true
A. The dish is cooked now to remind people of their past hardship.
B. The elder brother was killed because of a crime he committed.
C. The young brother failed to taking revenge on the murderer.
D. The younger brother had to leave for fear and for the sake of his security.
3. What’s the author’s purpose of writing this passage

For the first 18 years of my life, my mom cooked Chinese food every day, all served family-style. But when it came time for me to teach myself how to cook, I didn’t ask my mom for help. Instead, I turned to the online recipes (食谱). By the time I got married, I could cook many dishes. What I didn’t really know how to cook at all, however, was Chinese food.
Part of the problem was that I only knew how to cook by following recipes. And up until maybe 5 or 10 years ago, the number of English-language recipes for Chinese dishes you could find in a cookbook or on the Internet still felt extremely limited — at least when it came to homey, everyday recipes written with a younger Chinese American audience in mind.
That was the experience, too, for sisters Sarah and Kaitlin Leung. Like so many other ABCs (American-born Chinese) and younger first-and second-generation Chinese immigrants (移民), the Leung sisters reached a point in their adult lives when they started to love to eat the food they’d grown up on, but found it really difficult to learn how to prepare it.
As it turns out, though, the Leung sisters were uniquely positioned to do something about it: Their father had spent years cooking at his family’s Chinese American takeout restaurant. Their mom had deep knowledge about traditional Shanghainese cooking. Meanwhile, the two sisters had grown up in New York, eating their parents’ food, but also immersed (沉浸) in America’s own food culture.
So, in 2013, the Leungs started a food blog (博客) “The Woks of Life”. What made their blog different from other blogs was that the intergenerational transfer of knowledge that the Leungs were so eager for was baked right into the concept: The four family members took turns posting recipes, each sharing their own favorites. In that way, Sarah says, the blog reflected — and continues to reflect — the diversity of the overseas (海外的) Chinese.
4. What partly stopped the author learning to cook Chinese dishes
A. She was too busy to cook at home. B. She had no access to such recipes.
C. It was hard to learn to cook online. D. Her mother didn’t teach her how.
5. Who might be the targeted readers of the Leungs’ blog
A. Young American housewives. B. American students studying overseas.
C. The Chinese immigrant’s family. D. Chefs working in Chinese restaurants.
6. What sets the Leungs’ blog apart from others’
A. Being written by four different people. B. Reflecting the diversity of American life.
C. Introducing Chinese baking knowledge. D. Passing knowledge between generations.
7. What can be the best title for the text
A. The Popularity of “The Woks of Life”
B. The Comeback of Chinese Food in America
C. Take a Glance of the Daily Life of Overseas Chinese
D. Help a New Generation of Chinese Americans Learn to Cook
C
Many of us like to dine out and treat ourselves to delicious food. We are used to choosing hearty, fat-filled dishes and sugar-charged desserts, which are not easily cooked at home. The recent rise of light meals, however, gives diners smarter choice. According to Economic Daily, low-calorie, low-fat and high-fiber meals have become popular in China's restaurants and online delivery platforms.
The country saw a rapid expansion of restaurants specializing in light meals, from just 600 in 2017 to more than 3,500 in 2018. According to a report released by Meituan, a major online food delivery platform, the number of light meals ordered online also rose 75 percent from the previous year.
Having a light meal, however, doesn't mean eating only vegetables. Different from the meat-free lifestyle, a typical light dish avoids oily, salty and spicy food. Instead, it contains things like boiled meat, whole grains, fruits and vegetables. Healthy nutrients（营养物）are the theme of the light meal.
These dishes are useful for keeping healthy and controlling your weight. That's probably why so many young people are into them. Diners see it as a great way to avoid becoming fat. "After eating several light meals, I felt my appetite（胃口）has shrunk. I now prefer light flavors," said Zou Jing, a college teacher in Wuhan. She shared a picture of her lunch: a mixture of beef, eggs, corn, mushrooms and cherry tomatoes.
These changes in eating behavior are connected to deeper changes in how people think about food, says Water Willet, chairman of the nutrition department at the Harvard T. Chan School of Public Health. "Diet quality, not quantity is important for both weight control and long term well-being," he said. So the next time you have a party with friends, try a light meal. It will satisfy not only your stomachs but maybe also your hearts.
8. How does the author prove the popularity of light meals
A. By giving examples. B. By giving descriptions.
C. By listing numbers. D. By showing other people's opinions.
9. What is the subject of the light meal
A. Taking in healthy nutrients. B. Eating only vegetables.
C. Having a meat-free lifestyle. D. Avoiding salty and spicy food.
10. Why do many young people enjoy light meals
A. They are usually colorful. B. They can help people control their weight.
C. They are cheaper than other meals. D. They are simple and convenient.
11. What do we know about people's eating from the text
A. One's eating habit shows his personality.
B. Light meals will stay popular for a short time.
C. It's important to eat the right amount of good food.
D. There are changes in attitude toward healthy eating.
D
No doubt one of China’s greatest resources is its diverse cuisine. One of the most popular foods to be found is no doubt the street snacks that make up a large part of everyday life. “Compared with A Bite of China, which showcases chefs’ cooking processes and demonstrates delicious cuisine on air, Chinese Barbecue (烧烤) is more down-to-earth in depicting the people,” commented a viewer.
The new documentary series, called Chinese Barbecue, tells the story of this popular food option that sizzles (咝咝作响) over hot coals on just about every street corner in cities and towns across the country. Barbecued meat shining over hot coal containers, while not as elegant as some of the fine dining options in China, is an essential part of people’s night life. The pleasant smell and atmosphere surrounding the grilled (烤的) street food is “something that could entice a girl to fly downstairs at night wearing her pajamas (睡衣),” the documentary claims.
In many Chinese eyes，barbecue, regarded as the most ordinary and common night street snack, is different from homemade food by mothers as that is a symbol of kinship (亲切感). Barbecue is where you become connected to people in society. And unlike official business lunches, during which people are rather reserved and polite, barbecue lets people cut loose and relax with old friends and newly made friends, leaving a lasting impression of friendship.
On the other side of the world, in the United States, BBQ, well received by all ages, demonstrates the even more enthusiastic (热心的) personality of Americans, who grill large steaks on their outdoor stoves (炉子) at home and enjoy competing to see who has the better cooking skills. It’s safe to say that the world, as a whole, holds deep-rooted good feelings toward barbecue, either for the taste or the warmth generated by fire.
12. What is probably A Bite of China
A. A commercial programme. B. A popular documentary.
C. A soap opera of chefs. D. A cuisine radio programme.
13. What may the underlined word “entice” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Inform. B. Force. C. Attract. D. Remind.
14. What makes barbecue distinguish from other food in Chinese’s view
A. Quality food. B. Close bonds between friends.
C. Beautiful cooking style. D. Polite atmosphere.
15 Why does the author mention BBQ in the United States
A. To indicate the popularity of BBQ.
B. To present special American culture.
C. To show friendship between countries.
D. To make a comparison with Chinese BBQ.
E
Certain Chinese cuisines, such as the well-known Beijing Roasted Duck or the delicious Tianjin-style Pancakes, have gained global recognition. The appeal of these delicacies is deeply rooted in vast geographical diversity.

【答案】Dear John,
Knowing that you are interested in the longevity noodles I made for my grandmother, I’m happy to share my experience.
In China, longevity noodles symbolize long life and good health, which is why we serve them on birthdays. To make them, mix flour and water to make a dough. Roll it thin and cut into long strips. Boil until cooked. Then serve the noodles in a flavorful soup with vegetables and eggs. This particular experience enlightened me about the value of family. When I saw my grandmother’s smile, I felt a warm sense of contentment. Hope you can try it someday!
Yours
Li Hua
