2024 Hot List： The Best New Restaurants in the World
Place des Fêtes — New York City
This famous wine bar provides a spot with a rare sweet and warm atmosphere. For date night， go to the bar with views of the open kitchen， or fill up the large table in the back with a group and taste the entire 20-item menu. Either way， do not miss the famous mushroom soup.
Le Doyenné — Saint-Vrain， France
Australian chefs James Henry and Shaun Kelly transformed the former stables （马厩） of a 19th-century private estate into a working farm， restaurant， and guesthouse driven by the principles of regenerative agriculture. More than one hundred varieties of fruits， vegetables， and herbs make their way into Henry’s cooking after being carefully nurtured by Kelly.
Mi Compa Chava — Mexico City
Seafood is a hangover cure in Mexico， and almost everyone eating here is devoted to fixing last night’s damage from drunkenness and getting a head start on creating today’s. On the sidewalk， crowds of locals and tourists alike line-up for fisherman Salvador Orozco’s creative takes on Sinaloa and Baja seafood. Anything from the raw half of the menu is a sure bet， though cooked dishes like fish can help fill out a meal.
Vilas—Bangkok
Can a dish inspired by a Spanish recipe using Japanese ingredients still be considered Thai？ For chef Prin Polsuk， one of Bangkok’s most famous Thai chefs， it most certainly can. At his latest restaurant， a small dining room at the base of Bangkok’s landmark King Power Mahanakhon Tower， he draws inspiration from King Chulalongkorn’s 1897 journey around Europe and the foreign ingredients and cooking techniques he added to the royal cookbooks.

My brother Jack’s childhood was completely influenced by his extreme picky eating. From three to about 14， he only ate chicken， peanut butter， apples， cereal， and sweets. We tried everything in the book， but none succeeded.
However， in the past three years， he has gone through an amazing change. Today， he will eat close to ten times the types of foods he was willing to try before. He is even willing to try new things； he constantly asks to order something different at a restaurant. I’ve often wondered what makes a person change so much.
Through some research， several factors come out. The first major player in our food preferences is innate （先天的）， and it all starts with genetics. As humans， we all are likely to enjoy a few particular tastes for evolutionary （进化的） reasons.
However， genetics isn’t the only factor that explains why we enjoy or dislike particular foods. In fact， most of our preferences are actually learned， sometimes even before we are born. In one study， mothers regularly drank carrot juice late in the stages of their pregnancy （怀孕）. After birth， these babies tended to enjoy carrot-flavored milk more than other babies.
Additionally， I believe that sometimes， cultural influences affect your willingness to try food. Possibly， my brother finally got so sick of having to be the one who needed a special order at a restaurant that he forced himself to try and like those things he was afraid of. It simply takes time. People will learn to adapt and realize their true tastes. An open mind is a positive thing， and most will develop an ever-expanding plate as they age.
24.What do we know about Jack’s eating habit before he was 14？（ ）
A.He always ate too much. B.He only ate certain foods.
C.He had no chance to try new food. D.His family changed his eating habit.
25.Which word can best describe Jack’s change of eating habits？（ ）
A.Surprising. B.Scary.
C.Dangerous. D.Funny.
26.What does the study on pregnant mothers tell us？（ ）
A.Our food preferences can be learned. B.Genetics influences food preference.
C.Eating habits can’t be changed very easily. D.People enjoy certain foods for evolutionary reasons.
27.What suggestion does the author make about eating habits？（ ）
A.Keep a healthy lifestyle. B.Stick to what we like.
C.Understand the food culture. D.Stay open and try something new.
C
It keeps what’s inside a mystery until you open it. There are usually toys in mystery boxes； but now， food has been added to the list.
Recently， the trend of “leftover mystery boxes” has become popular in many Chinese cities such as Beijing， Nanjing and Chengdu. Stores pack boxes full of unsold food or food nearing its expiration date at low prices.
“We make the leftover mystery boxes available to buy at the end of the day，” Wu Tian， a staff member at a convenience chain store in Beijing， told China Daily. The food， such as milk， bread and sandwiches， is sold at about half the original price and is usually sold out quickly. Many bakeries have also joined the “mystery box club”.
Due to their low price， leftover mystery boxes “are very promising as a new business mode” and can attract more consumers， Hong Yong， an expert at the Ministry of Commerce， told China Daily. “In addition， they follow the concept of zero-waste and environmental protection.”
In 2021， the total amount of food waste in China reached 160 million tons， with an average of 93 grams per meal per person， China Food Newspaper reported. Since the passage of China’s Anti-Food Waste Law in April 2021， people’s awareness of food waste reduction has increased. Leftover mystery boxes can be an effective way for people to deal with food waste.
However， some people have raised food security concerns. If consumers buy a food mystery box for their breakfast the next morning， even if the food looks fine at the moment， it may have gone bad overnight. Moreover， food made in the store， such as bread， isn’t labeled with the production date in many cases. If a consumer unpacks a mystery box and discovers that the food tastes bad or has already passed the last date， then it will be difficult for them to protect their rights， such as getting money back.
Only by considering both food safety and consumer rights can leftover mystery boxes achieve a win-win situation for both buyers and sellers， commented China Youth Daily.
28.What leads to the rise of the trend of “leftover mystery boxes”？（ ）
A.Stores make the leftover mystery boxes available at night.
B.People feel like such food as milk and bread more attractive.
C.It offers customers lower prices for those unsold food.
D.It goes against the concept of zero-waste and environmental protection.
29.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “expiration” in the 2nd paragraph？（ ）
A.Ending. B.Producing.
C.Purchasing. D.Selling.
30.Why are some people worried about customers buying a leftover mystery box？（ ）
A.Because the food has gone bad when it’s bought.
B.Because customers’ rights are hard to protect.
C.Because the production dates are not clear enough.
D.Because customers cannot get a refund in many cases.
31.What’s the most suitable title for this passage？（ ）
A.Concerns over Food Security B.Mystery Boxes of Leftover
C.A Solution to Food Waste D.A Win-win Situation
D
We’ve all been told that different types of fruits and vegetables have different benefits that help us keep healthy. A new international study has found that eating one fruit regularly can help reduce the risk of cancer， among those people who have a high risk of developing certain cancers.
The research， which followed almost 1，000 patients with a variety of cancers， found that taking regular resistant starch （淀粉） could have a great preventative effect on the risk of cancer. Here’s what you need to know about how eating bananas regularly can help reduce the risk of cancers.
Resistant starch is found in green bananas. By eating green bananas your body gets resistant starch， which has been found to reduce the risk of cancers in some parts of the body by more than a half， according to the new research. The study， which was published in Cancer Prevention Research， was led by experts at the Universities of Newcastle and Leeds. It found that resistant starch， if taken regularly for two years， had a very good effect on some cancers， which can be difficult to find.
John Mathers， a professor at Newcastle University explained， “Resistant starch really helps in fact， which has several health benefits and fewer calories than regular starch.”
In addition to green bananas， resistant starch is also found in foods such as peas， beans and other starchy foods. In terms of bananas， experts think that eating one banana every day has the same effect as a certain amount of resistant starch. The secret is to eat the bananas before they become too ripe or soft.
32.What advantage does eating bananas regularly have？（ ）
A.Have a lower risk of cancer. B.Avoid developing diseases.
C.Suffer from no stress. D.Expect a longer life.
33.Why can green bananas often help reduce the risk of cancer？（ ）
A.They contain resistant starch. B.They help discover cancer.
C.They improve a person’s diet. D.They are quite healthy fruit.
34.What is John Mathers’ attitude to resistant starch？（ ）
A.Doubtful. B.Worried.
C.Supportive. D.Unclear.
35.In which column of a newspaper could you probably find the passage？（ ）
A.Agriculture World. B.Business & Finance.
C.Lifestyle & Fashion. D.Health & Wellness.

The school picnic day was on Sunday， and on Saturday morning I decided to ask Mum some questions. As soon as Mum took the last bite of her toast， I decided I couldn’t wait for her any longer and asked， “Mum， where is Italy？”
My mum pushed up her glasses and looked at me with her head to one side. Then she said， “Italy is a European country which is very far away from here， my love. Why do you want to know that？” I shrugged （耸肩）， “That’s where Mike， the new boy in our class is from.”
She nodded and invited me to go to fetch the geography book. The book was big and Mum always kept the very big books on the bottom shelf of our bookcase. I watched as Mum flipped to the index and then to a page near the middle. “Here we go，” she said， turning the map around to show me. I let my finger meet hers where it said the word “Italy” in capital letters. According to the introduction to the country on the page， Mum helped me know more about the country.
“You know， Mum， Mike’s parents are extremely busy working in the downtown. He seldom eats regularly let alone （更不用说） have his native foods. I really want him to be very happy for his first picnic with us ...” I paused and observed Mum， worried that Mum would think that it was silly and maybe a waste of money buying food only to give it away. But she didn’t. Instead， she said， “I think that’s a brilliant idea！ Go and get ready， and we’ll head out on a big shopping.”
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式作答。
I got ready so quickly that morning that I thought I must have beaten a world record.
We gathered on the grass on Sunday morning and I saw the Italian boy immediately.

The most wonderful experience I’ve ever had was a trip I took to China a few years ago. I really can’t describe it. We spent three weeks traveling around China. We visited Beijing， Shanghai， Xi’an and several other places. It really was the most unusual holiday I’ve ever had. You know， the further
we traveled into the center of China， the more I liked it， meeting people who’d never seen foreign tourists before. Then we spent our last week in Hong Kong， which I think is very different from Beijing. It’s the noisiest and busiest place I’ve ever seen. We didn’t find Hong Kong very relaxing at all. And the other problem was the people on tour with us — they were so unfriendly. Anyway， the trip itself was interesting. I can’t wait to do it again！

第一节
Dear Sam，
It’s great to hear that you’re planning to visit China soon. I’d be delighted to recommend one of my favourite Chinese dishes to you.
One dish that you must try is Peking Duck. It is a world-famous Chinese delicacy that originated in Nanjing in the Ming Dynasty. It’s a succulent and crispy roasted duck dish that’s both flavorful and visually impressive. The duck skin is perfectly crispy， while the meat is tender and flavorful. It’s a combination of textures and flavors.
I’m sure you’ll enjoy every bite of Peking Duck and I can’t wait for you to savor this iconic Chinese dish.
Best regards，
Li Hua
第二节
I got ready so quickly that morning that I thought I must have beaten a world record. In five minutes， I had my trousers and T-shirt pulled on， and hurriedly emptied my piggy bank. With all the money I saved carefully put in my pocket， I rushed to meet my smiling Mum at the front gate. We went to stands of fresh fruits and vegetables， selecting some for making pizza. Proudly looking at the products， Mum and I drove back home in high spirits. I could picture the perfect pizza which my mother was expert in cooking and the new boy’s amazed face.
We gathered on the grass on Sunday morning and I saw the Italian boy immediately. I waved my hand to draw Mike’s attention. He looked around and finally made sure that he was my target. Shy and quiet， he approached me with a light-hearted pace. I patted the place beside me， gestured him to sit down and unpacked his native food. He hesitated at first but later focused his eyes on my sincere face and gave me a broad smile. What a beautiful day it was！ We enjoyed the delicious pizza together and came to understand each other by sharing different experiences. No one would resist the sincere kindness.

（Text 2）
M：After two weeks of tennis lessons， I think I’ve finally managed to
improve my game.
W：Like my mom says， “Practice makes perfect.”

movies when you were a kid.
M：Not as many as you might think.
（Text 4）
W：Look at this picture， Peter.
M：That’s a nice picture， Ann. Who painted it？
W： I painted it myself. Nobody helped me.

W：There are still so many things to do to prepare for the festival， such
as shopping and cleaning.

M：Good idea！
（Text 6）

new job far from there， so I’m going to have to move here.
M：It’ll be OK. You’ll find a nice place here.
W：I’m not so sure. The area I’m in now is a great place to live. It’s
got a lot of good shops， and the people are very friendly. It’s got some
excellent cafés， too.
M：Any good restaurants？
W：There is a restaurant， but it’s terrible. I never eat there. The best
thing is the sports center near my apartment.
M：Oh. I didn’t know you like sports.
W：Yeah. I play table tennis there. One bad thing is all the cars.
Everybody uses the big car park next to the sports center. So the roads
around here have too many cars on them. Another problem is that there
isn’t a cinema. It’s not a big problem because there are good buses，
so I can go to the cinema in the city center.
M：Well， I know you like this neighborhood， but I’m sure you’ll
find a good place near your new job. Don’t worry！
（Text 10）
The most wonderful experience I’ve ever had was a trip I took to
China a few years ago. I really can’t describe it. We spent three weeks
traveling around China. We visited Beijing， Shanghai， Xi’an and
several other places. It really was the most unusual holiday I’ve ever
had. You know， the further we traveled into the center of China， the
more I liked it， meeting people who’d never seen foreign tourists
before.
Then we spent our last week in Hong Kong， which I think is very
different from Beijing. It’s the noisiest and busiest place I’ve ever seen.
We didn’t find Hong Kong very relaxing at all. And the other problem
was the people on tour with us — they were so unfriendly. Anyway， the
trip itself was interesting. I can’t wait to do it again！

2024 Hot List： The Best New Restaurants in the World
Place des Fêtes — New York City
This famous wine bar provides a spot with a rare sweet and warm
atmosphere. For date night， go to the bar with views of the open
kitchen， or fill up the large table in the back with a group and taste the
entire 20-item menu. Either way， do not miss the famous mushroom
soup.
Australian chefs James Henry and Shaun Kelly transformed the
former stables （马厩） of a 19th-century private estate into a working
farm， restaurant， and guesthouse driven by the principles of
regenerative agriculture. More than one hundred varieties of fruits，
vegetables， and herbs make their way into Henry’s cooking after being
carefully nurtured by Kelly.
Le Doyenné — Saint-Vrain， France
Mi Compa Chava — Mexico City
Seafood is a hangover cure in Mexico， and almost everyone eating
here is devoted to fixing last night’s damage from drunkenness and
getting a head start on creating today’s. On the sidewalk， crowds of
locals and tourists alike line-up for fisherman Salvador Orozco’s creative
takes on Sinaloa and Baja seafood. Anything from the raw half of the
menu is a sure bet， though cooked dishes like fish can help fill out a
meal.
Vilas—Bangkok
Can a dish inspired by a Spanish recipe using Japanese ingredients
still be considered Thai？ For chef Prin Polsuk， one of Bangkok’s most
famous Thai chefs， it most certainly can. At his latest restaurant， a
small dining room at the base of Bangkok’s landmark King Power
Mahanakhon Tower， he draws inspiration from King Chulalongkorn’s
1897 journey around Europe and the foreign ingredients and cooking
techniques he added to the royal cookbooks.

My brother Jack’s childhood was completely influenced by his
extreme picky eating. From three to about 14， he only ate chicken，
peanut butter， apples， cereal， and sweets. We tried everything in the
book， but none succeeded.
However， in the past three years， he has gone through an amazing
change. Today， he will eat close to ten times the types of foods he was
willing to try before. He is even willing to try new things； he constantly
asks to order something different at a restaurant. I’ve often wondered
what makes a person change so much.
Through some research， several factors come out. The first major
player in our food preferences is innate （先天的）， and it all starts with
genetics. As humans， we all are likely to enjoy a few particular tastes for
evolutionary （进化的） reasons.
However， genetics isn’t the only factor that explains why we enjoy
or dislike particular foods. In fact， most of our preferences are actually
learned， sometimes even before we are born. In one study， mothers
regularly drank carrot juice late in the stages of their pregnancy （怀孕）.
After birth， these babies tended to enjoy carrot-flavored milk more than
other babies.
Additionally， I believe that sometimes， cultural influences affect
your willingness to try food. Possibly， my brother finally got so sick of
having to be the one who needed a special order at a restaurant that he
forced himself to try and like those things he was afraid of. It simply takes
time. People will learn to adapt and realize their true tastes. An open mind
is a positive thing， and most will develop an ever-expanding plate as they
age.

It keeps what’s inside a mystery until you open it. There are usually
toys in mystery boxes； but now， food has been added to the list.
Recently， the trend of “leftover mystery boxes” has become
popular in many Chinese cities such as Beijing， Nanjing and Chengdu.
Stores pack boxes full of unsold food or food nearing its expiration date at
low prices.
“We make the leftover mystery boxes available to buy at the end of
the day，” Wu Tian， a staff member at a convenience chain store in
Beijing， told China Daily. The food， such as milk， bread and
sandwiches， is sold at about half the original price and is usually sold out
quickly. Many bakeries have also joined the “mystery box club”.
Due to their low price， leftover mystery boxes “are very promising
as a new business mode” and can attract more consumers， Hong Yong，
an expert at the Ministry of Commerce， told China Daily. “In
addition， they follow the concept of zero-waste and environmental
protection.”
In 2021， the total amount of food waste in China reached 160
million tons， with an average of 93 grams per meal per person， China
Food Newspaper reported. Since the passage of China’s Anti-Food
Waste Law in April 2021， people’s awareness of food waste reduction
has increased. Leftover mystery boxes can be an effective way for people
to deal with food waste.
However， some people have raised food security concerns. If
consumers buy a food mystery box for their breakfast the next morning，
even if the food looks fine at the moment， it may have gone bad
overnight. Moreover， food made in the store， such as bread， isn’t
labeled with the production date in many cases. If a consumer unpacks a
mystery box and discovers that the food tastes bad or has already passed
the last date， then it will be difficult for them to protect their rights，
such as getting money back.
Only by considering both food safety and consumer rights can leftover
mystery boxes achieve a win-win situation for both buyers and sellers，
commented China Youth Daily.

盒”可能很快就变质或者过期，消费者很难要回钱。由此推知，
“剩菜盲盒”很难保护消费者的权益。
31. What’s the most suitable title for this passage？（ ）
A. Concerns over Food Security
B. Mystery Boxes of Leftover
C. A Solution to Food Waste

We’ve all been told that different types of fruits and vegetables have
different benefits that help us keep healthy. A new international study has
found that eating one fruit regularly can help reduce the risk of cancer，
among those people who have a high risk of developing certain cancers.
The research， which followed almost 1，000 patients with a variety
of cancers， found that taking regular resistant starch （淀粉） could
have a great preventative effect on the risk of cancer. Here’s what you
need to know about how eating bananas regularly can help reduce the risk
of cancers.
Resistant starch is found in green bananas. By eating green bananas
your body gets resistant starch， which has been found to reduce the risk
of cancers in some parts of the body by more than a half， according to the
new research. The study， which was published in Cancer Prevention
Research， was led by experts at the Universities of Newcastle and Leeds.
It found that resistant starch， if taken regularly for two years， had a very
good effect on some cancers， which can be difficult to find.
John Mathers， a professor at Newcastle University explained，
“Resistant starch really helps in fact， which has several health benefits
and fewer calories than regular starch.”
In addition to green bananas， resistant starch is also found in foods
such as peas， beans and other starchy foods. In terms of bananas，
experts think that eating one banana every day has the same effect as a
certain amount of resistant starch. The secret is to eat the bananas before
they become too ripe or soft.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。一项研究表明，经常吃绿香蕉有助

32. What advantage does eating bananas regularly have？（ ）
A. Have a lower risk of cancer.

（ ）
A. They contain resistant starch.
B. They help discover cancer.
C. They improve a person’s diet.
D. They are quite healthy fruit.

性淀粉，这可以将身体某些部位患癌症的风险降低一半以上。
34. What is John Mathers’ attitude to resistant starch？（ ）
A. Doubtful. B. Worried.
C. Supportive. D. Unclear.
解析： 观点态度题。根据第四段内容可知，约翰·马瑟斯认为

Easy Ways to Reduce Bitter Taste in Any Food
Bitterness （苦味） is one of the essential flavors in our food， and
lots of bitter foods are especially healthy. 36.（ ） Don’t worry，
you’re in luck！ There are many ways to reduce bitter flavors and help
you enjoy whatever meal is in front of you.
37. （ ）
Who doesn’t love some sweetness in their food？ Again， think
about coffee — there’s a reason we like sweetening it a bit. The
sweetness naturally covers bitter tastes. Add sugar or some honey to bitter
foods and drinks to enhance the flavor a bit. But don’t overdo it with the
sugar！
Sprinkle （洒） some salt over your food.
Salt makes everything better， including bitter foods. The saltiness
naturally counteracts （中和） the bitterness， so don’t be shy about
using a bit of salt in meals that are too bitter.38.（ ） Throw them in
some olive oil and salt before cooking to introduce new flavors.
Add some spice to your foods.
Good news for spice lovers！ Spices mask bitter flavors. Add some
spicy peppers or powders to your cooking， or sprinkle some onto your
dishes for a little bit of extra heat.39.（ ） Some other great spices
include cayenne， red pepper， paprika， and chili powder.
Eat more bitter foods to get used to them.
You can actually teach your body what kinds of foods to like. If you
just keep eating bitter foods， you’ll eventually get yourself accustomed
to bitter tastes. It might not seem fun right now， but it can make a big
difference in the long term！40.（ ）
Don’t be afraid to experiment with flavors！ You might have to try
out a few different spices and herbs to find that perfect combination to
mask bitterness.
A. Add much sugar and honey.
B. Cover the flavor with sweetness.
C. There are a variety of spices that work well.
D. Black pepper in particular helps counteract bitterness.
E. This is an especially good trick if you’re cooking bitter vegetables.
F. This would help you eat bitter foods without adding other ingredients.
G. However， you might find bitterness unpleasant or you’ve added too
much of it.

Dear Sam，
It’s great to hear that you’re planning to visit China soon. I’d be
delighted to recommend one of my favourite Chinese dishes to you.
One dish that you must try is Peking Duck. It is a world-famous
Chinese delicacy that originated in Nanjing in the Ming Dynasty. It’s a
succulent and crispy roasted duck dish that’s both flavorful and visually
impressive. The duck skin is perfectly crispy， while the meat is tender
and flavorful. It’s a combination of textures and flavors.
I’m sure you’ll enjoy every bite of Peking Duck and I can’t wait
for you to savor this iconic Chinese dish.
Best regards，

第二节（满分25分）
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。
The school picnic day was on Sunday， and on Saturday morning I
decided to ask Mum some questions. As soon as Mum took the last bite of
her toast， I decided I couldn’t wait for her any longer and asked，
“Mum， where is Italy？”
My mum pushed up her glasses and looked at me with her head to one
side. Then she said， “Italy is a European country which is very far
away from here， my love. Why do you want to know that？” I
shrugged （耸肩）， “That’s where Mike， the new boy in our class
is from.”
She nodded and invited me to go to fetch the geography book. The
book was big and Mum always kept the very big books on the bottom shelf
of our bookcase. I watched as Mum flipped to the index and then to a page
near the middle. “Here we go，” she said， turning the map around to
show me. I let my finger meet hers where it said the word “Italy” in
capital letters. According to the introduction to the country on the page，
Mum helped me know more about the country.
“You know， Mum， Mike’s parents are extremely busy working
in the downtown. He seldom eats regularly let alone （更不用说） have
his native foods. I really want him to be very happy for his first picnic
with us ...” I paused and observed Mum， worried that Mum would
think that it was silly and maybe a waste of money buying food only to
give it away. But she didn’t. Instead， she said， “I think that’s a
brilliant idea！ Go and get ready， and we’ll head out on a big
shopping.”
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式作答。
I got ready so quickly that morning that I thought I must have
beaten a world record.
We gathered on the grass on Sunday morning and I saw the Italian
boy immediately.
参考范文：
I got ready so quickly that morning that I thought I must have beaten a
world record. In five minutes， I had my trousers and T-shirt pulled on，
and hurriedly emptied my piggy bank. With all the money I saved
carefully put in my pocket， I rushed to meet my smiling Mum at the front
gate. We went to stands of fresh fruits and vegetables， selecting some for
making pizza. Proudly looking at the products， Mum and I drove back
home in high spirits. I could picture the perfect pizza which my mother
was expert in cooking and the new boy’s amazed face.
We gathered on the grass on Sunday morning and I saw the Italian boy
immediately. I waved my hand to draw Mike’s attention. He looked
around and finally made sure that he was my target. Shy and quiet， he
approached me with a light-hearted pace. I patted the place beside me，
gestured him to sit down and unpacked his native food. He hesitated at
first but later focused his eyes on my sincere face and gave me a broad
smile. What a beautiful day it was！ We enjoyed the delicious pizza
together and came to understand each other by sharing different
experiences. No one would resist the sincere kindness.
谢谢观看！
