A[2024驻马店期末]
From the food ingredients, the placing on the plate to the background music and much more, chefs and companies in the UK are planning to change our dining experiences, and the trends in dining out.
Entomophagy
This is a proper term for eating insects! Numerous people realize that many of our basic foods may disappear in the coming decades and insects can offer people good protein to replace animal meats, so they believe insects are a good choice. It hasn't quite happened yet because we all think insects are extremely unpleasant. But, many chefs are already experimenting in the field. A number of top chefs in London are using their cooking creativity to turn something unpleasant into something delicious.
Tech at the Table
Digital products will probably become a common part of our food and drink experiences in the near future. We're going to see things like tablets and computer screens that can tell stories around the food we are eating. We'll be able to change the color of plates digitally, because we know that colors can change the taste of food or make it look better.
The Experimental Meal
The experimental meal is liked by a growing number of people interested in finding new connections between their senses. They think that food is not just what goes into the mouth, but a whole experience. They're seeing dining—music, lighting, staff uniforms, temperature changes—as a whole meal. They are trying to put different things together instead of having dinner and then going to the theater, why not bring the two together The same goes for cinema and music.

B[2024扬州高邮月考]
It's thought that the first ever Chinese restaurant opened in 1908 in the UK. It was located in Piccadilly Circus, London. Although this was a great breakthrough for the cuisine(菜肴), it didn't pick up popularity for years.
Back in the 1950's the idea of Chinese food in the UK and America was simplistic: tinned Chinese curries(咖喱菜肴), processed foods and confused flavours, like Chinese food on pizza. Takeout restaurants were few and far between and other cuisines with less experimental flavours were favoured by Westerners.
It wasn't until the 1960's and 1970's that Chinese food began getting the recognition. More citizens began arriving on Western soil from China and Chinatown started development in the 1970's, when chefs began talking about exotic(异国的) flavours. One typical figure during this period was Kenneth Lo. He wrote more than 30 books on Chinese cooking from the 1950's to the 1990's, with over one million copies sold in Britain.
Lo also opened a cooking school in London during the 1980's, which was praised as Europe's first Chinese cooking school. Alongside this, people began opening up to the idea of varied flavours but dishes had to make the most of the ingredients available in the West. Chinese chefs began to adapt dishes to use readily available ingredients and also appeal more to Westerners. This ended with the creation of dishes that a Western audience recognizes as Chinese that you wouldn't even find in China. For example, Chop Suey used to be one of the most popular dishes found in the West but you wouldn't be able to find this dish with ease in China. The same goes for the beloved fortune cookies.
Nowadays, more frequent travel of British people to China has exposed consumers to more varieties and both authentic(正宗的) and modern Chinese flavours. No longer do those living in the West fear complex and unfamiliar flavours; instead they accept the contrast and try to include them into their diet.
( ) 4. What happened to Chinese food after the first Chinese restaurant opened in London
A. It went through great changes.
B. It went unnoticed for a long time.
C. It was mainly sold as takeout food.
D. It started to have a big influence.
( ) 5. What did Kenneth Lo do to promote Chinese food
A. He wrote many books about Chinese cooking.
B. He worked in a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown.
C. He commented on popular books on Chinese food.
D. He travelled across China to learn Chinese cooking.
( ) 6. Why are Chop Suey and fortune cookies mentioned in Paragraph 4
A. To prove many ingredients were needed to make them.
B. To show they were the most popular Chinese dishes in London.
C. To show Chinese dishes were adapted to satisfy Westerners' taste.
D. To prove the ingredients used in Western cuisine were simple.
( ) 7. What is the Westerners' attitude towards Chinese food nowadays
A. Concerned. B. Regretful. C. Unclear. D. Acceptive.
C[2025湖南名校联盟开学考]
Fresh peas often take so long to reach grocery stores that they usually lose their original flavor when you eat them. Frozen peas, which are frozen within hours of being picked, keep their sweetness and crispness(脆度), not to mention their bright color.
While people in cold climates have been preserving food by freezing for longer than we probably can record, in the early 20th century, processed food companies had a lot to learn when it came to making defrosted(解冻的) fish and other foodstuffs delicious. Frozen food always took on a depressingly mushy(糊状的) texture.
The idea of making food eatable for the future by freezing had been appealing for quite some time. Sir Francis Bacon conducted a food freezing experiment in 1626. He noticed food could be stored longer in winter, so he had a chicken's body stuffed with snow to see if it would be well preserved. His death soon after stopped him from continuing the experiment.
A turning point in the frozen food industry's history came when Clarence Birdseye, a naturalist, lived in Labrador. There he learned about the customs of the Inuit, who would go ice fishing and then let their catch immediately freeze in the very cold air. When this frozen fish, which was left out in the cold, was eventually cooked, it tasted fresh and delicious. He applied the same method to cabbages, and it worked wonderfully.
However, frozen food didn't find its feet then. Large numbers of Americans first tasted frozen food in the 1940s, during World War Ⅱ, when there was a shortage of canned goods. Even more significant was the fact that while men were off fighting, women took jobs outside the home, causing them to seek faster ways to fix meals.
It took trial and error to discover the foods that froze well and to improve refrigeration in transportation systems, in stores, and in people's homes.
( ) 8. What challenge did processed food companies face in the early 20th century
A. Promoting sales of frozen products.
B. Harvesting ripe vegetables in a short time.
C. Keeping the original color of frozen products.
D. Preserving the flavor and texture of defrosted food.
( ) 9. What was the purpose of Sir Francis Bacon's experiment in 1626
A. To study the properties of snow.
B. To test food preservation by freezing.
C. To find the best way of preserving food.
D. To improve a traditional scientific method.
( )10. What did Clarence Birdseye learn from the Inuit
A. Cooking skills mattered a lot to flavor.
B. Ice fishing could be a health giving activity.
C. Quick freezing helped keep food's flavor and freshness.
D. Certain frozen products offered superior taste and quality.
( )11. What did World War Ⅱ mean to frozen food
A. It drove a great boost in frozen food consumption.
B. It resulted in a sudden rise in the price of frozen food.
C. It posed a challenge to the transportation of frozen food.
D. It redirected frozen food producers' focus to canned goods.
D[2024宜宾期末]
Do you ever wonder about what the term “locally grown food” means Do you wonder where your food comes from Locally grown food and sustainability are on the rise, and it's important to know why this trend in farming matters.
Hawaii, in particular, is a pretty isolated place. About 85 percent of food is imported. Much of what gets to their table depends on what comes to use by ship. Sometimes, one notices there is no milk or other product left at the grocery store because there is a problem with a barge(驳船).
Steven Chiang, a professor from University of Hawaii, pointed out that in Hawaii, the cost of labor is high for people who might want to farm the land. Since many different groups or individuals own small pieces of land, getting access to farmland is also difficult.
However, Chiang added, “There are many benefits of growing food locally on the islands and elsewhere.” For one, people can hold onto traditions and the types of food they like. Food in soil will have the chance to mature more, and maybe absorb more nutrition. Areas of land that might be used for other things, like new apartments or office buildings, can be preserved. Also, plants can extract the carbon dioxide in the air, benefiting the environment.
Chiang said that there was more to locally grown food than just those benefits. “Having local food helps make people aware of where their food comes from,” he said. When people are disconnected from the food system and don't know where their food comes from, there's a tendency to make potentially negative choices. “Because we're so efficient at shipping and importing,” he added. “We don't realize or know what it takes, and that can lead to poor decisions that can harm us all.”
So what can you do In Hawaii, there are many opportunities to volunteer at local farms. But in other areas around the world, you can do your part by supporting and buying locally grown food. You can also help spread awareness by educating your friends and family. You can even grow your own food—in a container in your kitchen or in your backyard!
( )12. What can be inferred about Hawaii's food supply
A. Hawaii relies heavily on imported food.
B. Hawaii's cost of living is low for farmers.
C. Hawaii's grocery stores are often short of milk.
D. Hawaii's farmland is enough for all local needs.
( )13. Which is a benefit of growing food locally
A. Lowering the cost of local labor.
B. Increasing the variety of imported food.
C. Preserving land for non agricultural use.
D. Offering quick access to imported food.
( )14. What is Chiang's attitude toward locally grown food
A. Negative. B. Doubtful. C. Undecided. D. Favorable.
( )15. What is the author's purpose of writing the last paragraph
A. To encourage gardening at home.
B. To advocate sustainable practices.
C. To promote local farming in Hawaii.
D. To discourage buying imported food.

There are few natural sounds more uplifting to my spirit than the bright and cheering calls and songs of black capped chickadees(山雀). One of my morning routines is to step outside the house and listen for the voices of black caps.
There is something comforting to me in black caps' presence. __16__ Sometimes they are the only birds I'll hear on my local woodland walks and for me the forest would be a lonelier place without them.
After I'd moved into a house on Anchorage's hillside, I placed a makeshift feeder on my home's back. __17__ For each, the routine was similar: dashed in, looked around, pecked(啄) at the tray, looked around again, and dashed out. Nervous little creatures, full of bright energy, they soon had me laughing at their funny way. By the time they moved on, I sensed an all too rare upwelling of fascination and joy.
Within days, a whole new world opened up as woodland neighbors I'd never known, or even imagined, joined the black caps at my feeders: red breasted nuthatches, common redpolls … What was remarkable was that all of those species were common residents of the Anchorage area. __18__
My newfound interest in birds grew quickly, surprising even me. __19__ I visited bookstores in search of birding guidebooks, excitedly exchanged bird descriptions with a stranger, and purchased 50 pound bags of sunflower seeds. All of this seemed very strange to a middle aged guy who'd never been attracted by birds. Even more, I had previously judged birdwatchers to be rather dull sorts.
__20__ They've reminded me how my world can expand and become enriched when I make the effort to pay attention. What else awaits me in our world, I wonder, that I haven't yet discovered or noticed
A. Nature always amazed me in its own way.
B. Yet in prior days and years, I had no idea.
C. Black caps are a sign of good environment.
D. Within a day, black caps accepted my invitation to dine.
E. Black caps have had a special place at the top of my affections.
F. What started as mere curiosity flowered into a consuming passion.
G. And much more often than not, they are heard before they're seen.

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 other day, I was driving home, a little upset because I hated working at the weekend. On the way, I decided to grab some veggies in the nearby greengrocer's. Since there was still thin ice on the road, I took a glance at the rear mirror to make sure no pedestrians or vehicles came close, and slowly steered the wheel to the right. Then out of any of my expectancy my car bumped into an electric bike, giving out a harsh metallic clash. I collected myself and saw out of the window screen a boy leaning on one side of the bike, one foot off the ground.
All of a sudden, a familiar scene flashed across my mind.
When I was in high school, I had fun riding my bike along the country road on sweltering and boring afternoons during summer holidays. Sometimes I carried my little brother to the only grocery store in the neighborhood where we could buy our favorite ice cream. Once we had an argument about what to buy. Seeing him leave the store in a temper, I jumped on the bike and tried to talk him into going back. Suddenly, he gave me a push and I inclined toward the middle of the road when a motorbike came in my face. I fell on the ground before I could see anything clearly. Luckily, I didn't get hurt but still couldn't rise to my feet. The motorist, a middle aged man, ignoring his torn jeans, shed to check on me, “Are you okay Your leg Your foot?”
“I am all right, but …” I stared at him, terrified because I was sure he would ask for a “big” sum of money for compensation. Instead, he just let me go despite his wife's protests. Guilty as I was, I was happy that I was spared. I was really grateful to the man for pardoning a silly kid who had made such a big mistake involuntarily.

37. 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。主语chopsticks与谓语动词make之间是被动关系,句子陈述客观事实,应用一般现在时的被动语态;主语chopsticks是复数,be动词使用are。
38. 考查连词。前后两句之间为转折关系,应用转折连词but连接。
39. 考查非谓语动词。句子已有两个并列的谓语动词,此处hold做非谓语,与逻辑主语you之间是主动关系,应用现在分词,做伴随状语。位于句首,首字母大写。
40. 考查副词。此处修饰动词moving,应用副词形式flexibly做状语,意为“灵活地”。
41. 考查介词。固定搭配remind sb of sth意为“使某人想起某事”。
42. 考查冠词。此处修饰单数名词eating tool,应用不定冠词限定,且eating以元音音素开头,应用an。
43. 考查连词。前后两句之间是顺承关系,应用并列连词and连接两个谓语动词。
44. 考查形容词。此处修饰名词civilizations,应用形容词,vary是动词,其形容词形式为various或varied,意为“各种各样的”,做定语。
45. 考查非谓语动词。主语是The cultural tensions,谓语动词是have,所以动词create在这里做非谓语。根据空后的by可知,create与逻辑主语tensions之间是被动关系,应用过去分词做后置定语。

第一节 One possible version:
The_Meal_I_Cooked
Last week, I cooked a meal for my mother.
First, I put a certain amount of rice and water into the rice cooker, and then I started cooking dishes. The first dish was stir fried meat, which I am good at. Then I made my mother's favorite dish, Kung Pao Chicken. It took me a lot of time. Finally, I made a soup. When my mother came back to taste the dishes, she praised me a lot.
Through this meal, I learn about my mother's hard work and that I am old enough to share some household chores. And I will continue cooking.
第二节 One possible version:
Seeing_the_same_fright_in_the_boy's_eyes,_I_quickly_got_out_of_my_car. “Are you okay Your leg Your foot?” I asked the same questions. The boy shook his head nervously and spoke nothing. He just looked at me with his blue eyes wide open. I could see why. My car was badly damaged at the rear, which would cost me a lot to repair it. I just smiled and turned to check my car. Suddenly, the boy said something behind me.
The_boy_offered_to_give_me_some_money_for_the_damage. I turned around and looked at him in the eyes and smiled again. “No worries, kid,” I said. “It is not a big deal. I can handle it myself.” The boy was puzzled. “I experienced the same things when I was at your age and I was forgiven. So are you now. Just go home and be careful,” I explained to him. An obvious surprise flashed across his face but was quickly replaced by great relief. He got off his bike and bowed deeply, saying, “Thank you, Sir.” I smiled again, knowing that a seed of kindness and forgiveness was planted.
