11、e educated on the difference.The year was 1961, and Chiang insisted on showing diners the delicate side of Chinese food. The restaurants wine list,filled with Chinese cultural elements,was part of her strategy.Chiang said she wanted to upgrade the Chinese dining experience. To do this, she also need

12、ed to be fully aware of aesthetics(美学）。The Mandarin,which would later occupy a much larger space in Ghirardelli Square,wasnt like other Chinese restaurants.“Is this a Chinese restaurant?” Chiang said people asked her all the time.The Mandarin did not serve chop suey or chow mein, two standard dishes

13、 on every Chinese restaurant in the US at the time.But this is exactly what Chiang wanted to avoid.In fact, her early brushes with Chinese food in America had left her unimpressed and determined to show San Francisco what Chinese food was really like.Not only was Chiang a woman trying to run a resta

14、urant in a male-controlled industry, but she was also attempting to educate diners. Changing peoples minds was complicated.

18、o much napping couldsignal all 1s not well. In somecultures, people will have a daily nap-this is fine. Thewarning comes when people start sleeping during the daytime, whenthey did not before.There is certainly a good reasonto believe that daytime sleepiness -as in the Alzheimersstudy-can be a marke

19、r of an underlying condition.For most people, napping during the day is mainly a sign thatyou are not gettingenough sleep at night, says Dr Neil Stanley, a sleep expert.If you feel sleepy during theday, you should think about taking a nap. That is what the body needs-it doesnt need tobe kept awake w

20、ith caffeine, it needs sleep. The feeling to notice is “sleepiness,he says,not tiredness”,which could bemore psychological and linked to stress.So how do you nap well? The key thing, says Stanley, is howlong your nap lasts.Choose either a 20-or 90-mintute nap. “ When you fall asleep, youll quickly g

21、o throughthe lighter stages of sleep into your first period of deep sleep. You dont want to wake updid before because thats when you wake and feel worse than you did before.” Nappingfor 20 minutes means you willwake up before you go into deep sleep;napping for 90minutes means youll complete a sleep

22、cycle.Once you factor in the timeit takes to fall asleep-some peopleare better at nappingthan others but, says Stanley, “a healthy adult will fall asleep in between 5 and 12 minutes”-you can set an alarm, allowinga30- to 40-minute period for ashort nap, and up to twohours for a longer one.A good tim

23、e to nap is during the bodys natural dip in the afternoon,between 2 pmand 4 pm.“You dont reallywant to be napping much past that because then you aregoing to be eating into your night-time sleep, Stanley says. The point, he stresses, is toget good night-time sleep, which would ensure you probably do

Britain started its mass vaccination effort and the U.S.isnt far behind.But there is still one dark cloud hanging over the vaccines that many people dont yet understand.The vaccines will be much less effective at preventing death and ill

27、ness in 2021 if they are introduced into a population where the coronavirus is still severe - as is now the case in the U.S.A vaccine is like a fire hose(消防龙头）A vaccine thats 95 percent effective,as Modernas and Pfizers versions appear to be,is a powerful fire hose.But the size of a fire is still a

28、bigger determinant of how much destruction occurs.At the current level of infection in the U.S.(about 200,000 confirmed new infections per day),a vaccine that is 95 percent effective-distributed at the expected pace-would sill leave a terrible toll(伤亡人数）in the six months after it was introduced.Almo

29、st 10 million or so Americans would catch the virus, and more than 160,000 would die.This is far worse than the toll in a different situation where the vaccine was only 50 percent effective but the U.S. had reduced the infection rate to its level in early September (about 35,000 new daily cases).In

30、that case,the death toll in the next six months would be kept to about 60,000.Its worth pausing for a moment on this comparison.If the U.S.had maintained its infection rate from September and Moderna and Pfizer had announced this fall that their vaccines were only 50 percent effective, a lot of peop

31、le would have panicked.But the reality we have is actually worse.How could this be? No vaccine can get rid of a pandemic immediately,just as.no fire hose can put out a forest fire. While the vaccine is being distributed, the virus continues to do damage.There is one positive way to look at this: Mea

32、sures that reduce the viruss spread - like mask-wearing, social distancing and rapid-result testing-can still have great consequences. They can save more than 100,000 lives in coming months.12.How does the author mainly present his argument?A.By giving definitions.B.By categorizing facts.C.By drawin

33、g comparisons.D.By appealing to emotions.13.Which does the author think is a better way to save lives?A.Improving the effectiveness of the vaccines.B.Producing a greater variety of vaccines.C. Looking at the situation in a positive way.D.Wearing masks and practicing social distancing.14.What does pa

34、ragraph 6 tell us?A.The vaccines are less effective than expected.B.The US have controlled the spread of the coronavirus.C.The death toll in the next six months will be about 60,000.D.Fewer people will die if the infection rate is lower.15.What can we infer from the text?A. The vaccine is the hope o

35、f wiping out the pandemic.B.The public are optimistic about the effects of the vaccine.C.The public are concerned about the high infection rate.D.The distribution of vaccine will end the pandemic quickly.Part B阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Most people know how to manage, express, and cop

Butwhat is emotion regulation,and how can you improve your emotion regulation skills?17 Many researchers view emotion regulation as the ability to enhance or reduce your emotions as needed.Others de

37、fine it as a set of skills that help keep your emotionalsystem healthy and functioning.We can learn to adjust what emotion we have, how intense it is,when we have it,and how we react to it. The defining aspect of emotion regulation isthat it occurs when a goal is activated.Goals are highly individua

38、l. Theyve what we picture in our heads. Your goals can beactivated by your environment. You may regulate your emotions to influence a change in someone else,18 For instance,when your boss treats you poorly at work,you act as ifit doesnt bother you because you re hoping for a job promotion.Mindfulnes

39、s is the practice of being present in the moment.Mindful people learn tobe aware of the breaths they take, the tension in their muscles，and even their pulse rates.They can objectively observe themselves in difficult moments,confident that even thesetimes will pass.19 In and of themselves, emotions a

40、re not good or bad, though they may be scary, especiallywhen theyre intense.20 But the more you do it, the more natural it becomes.Mindfulness skills can help with this too.A.Learning how to accept your emotions takes practice.B. Being mindful can help you to deal with your emotions.C. There is no o

41、ne agreed-upon definition of emotion regulation.D.Emotion regulation goals vary strongly from situation to situation.E. For some people,though, emotion regulation is much more difficult.F.

49、o open-minded,listening to othersviewpoints so openly that they become my own.Maybe that comes from my practice of actively listening to others.It means that I do really hear them instead of responding only out of politeness.Maybe its because I was brought up by parents who didnt necessarily speak t

50、o me about respecting others but modeled it for me through their own actions.They treated everyone equally,from what I remember,never looking down upon others because they were different from us.As I raise my daughters,I try my best to show them love and understanding in all situations.

84、o Haleakala National Park, which lies in Hawaii.When we arrived at Haleakala National Park, we were advised to watch the early morning sunrise.I was lost in the sightseeing that afternoon, so I could hardly wait to see the sunrise. In the next morning, we all got out of bed very early and got to the

85、 seaside at 3 oclock. In the first half an hour, we imagined how wonderful it would be when the first light came out through the thick clouds and how soft it would be when the light touched our skin, so we waited and waited. However, another half an hour later, I gradually lost my patience since the

86、re was nothing but the chilly darkness, and I felt that I was frozen to death. But my friends were still extremely cheerful.Nearly another one hour later, “Amazing!” Judy burst out and we all shouted to welcome the light, which was really unbelievable. Until today, I dare say that it is the most imp

87、ressive sunrise in my life. However, waiting in the morning darkness is also one memory I cannot wipe from my mind forever.Waiting sometimes is really a hard thing for most of us as it needs patience and strongwilled determination, but what about the result after that? It might turn out to be pleasi

88、ng, unbelievable and satisfying. So, it is really worthwhile to wait for the best.24What can we learn from the passage?_AThe authors friends and the author took a trip to China.BSometimes, it is worthwhile to wait for the best.CThe author enjoyed the worst sunrise in his life.DHawaii is a good place

CTerrible DCold.27Whats the authors attitude towards waiting for the

90、 sunrise? _AExcited all the time.BFirstly excited then impatient. CFirstly excited then afraid.DAfraid all the time.（3）I am a person who has always loved reading. For me, it is easy to get lost in a book and return to the world a couple of hours later having been on an adventure. As a 6-year-old, I

91、could be found reading Harry Potter, a difficult book for a 6-year-old but I enjoyed it all the same. Now, as a student, it is harder to find the time to read books for pleasure; however, I relish the summers where I have the time to read to satisfy myself. Growing up, it soon became clear that spel

92、ling for me was not difficult and I had a wide vocabulary. This is because I began reading from such a young age.My advice for you as English learners would be to read the books that you have often read in your own language in English. Reading, stories especially, is a great way of improving your vo

93、cabulary and spelling without noticing as you are lost in the story. For me, I have read Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone in French and am currently reading Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets in Spanish. This is a really useful way of being able to read in another language because I know

94、 the story so well in English, it is easy to follow the story in the foreign language even if I do not understand every word.This is another important point: it is not necessary to understand every word. If you understand the meaning of the sentence, each word is not necessarily important. Sometimes

95、 it is impossible to translate directly from one language to another. Quite often, if a word is used several times in a text, you can gain your own meaning from it and it makes much more sense than if you tried to translate it in the first place.Give it a try. If you like reading you could be openin

96、g up a whole new world of literature.8. What can we learn from the authors reading experiences?A. He often spent hours taking an adventure.B. He didnt like Harry Potter any more with aging.C. He could spare enough time reading for fun as a student.D. Reading helped him a lot since his early age.9. W

97、hich of the following can best replace the underlined word “relish” in paragraph 1?A. Spend.B. Lose.C. Enjoy.D. Hate.10. What suggestion does the author give for learning English?A. Reading English stories youre familiar with in your own language.B. Reading Harry Potter in different languages.C. Tra

98、nslating word by word.D. Understanding the story in your own language.11. What can be the best title for the text?A. Better Ways to Read stories.B. The Benefits of Reading.C. How to Improve Spelling and Vocabulary.D. Is It Necessary to Know Each Word?（4） Laptop computers are popular all over the wor

99、ld. People use them on trains and airplanes, in airports and hotels. These laptops connect people to their workplace. In the United States today, laptops also connect students to their classrooms. Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork

100、 anywhere they want. Within five years, each of the 1500 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are part of a $10 million computer program at Westlake, a 110-year-old college. The students with laptops will also have access to the Internet. In addition, they will be able to use e

101、-mail to “peak” with their teachers, their classmates, and their families. However, the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs. They can work with it at home, in a fast-food restaurant or under the treesanywhere at all!
