The following dishes are special each in their own way. Peking Duck This famous dish can be

2、 found at restaurants all around Beijing. High-class restaurants take this dish so seriously that some even have their own duck farms and use only a special kind of duck for their specific Peking Duck dish. Peking Duck is famous for its thin skin and delicious meat, which is highly popular among all

3、 foreigners, including foreign celebrities and leaders. Wonton Wonton, called Huntun in Chinese, is a highly appreciated dish in China. Since China is a country of many nationalities and different cultures, each region has their own shapes for wontons. Wontons are usually boiled and served in soup,

4、but they can also be deep-fried. Dumplings During the Spring Festival, Chinese families will get together and have dumpling parties. It is said that the dish was invented by Zhang Zhongjing, one of the finest Chinese physicians in history. Dumplings have a 1,800-year-long history, which is why it is

5、 one of the most popular traditional foods in China and extremely popular in Western countries. They may be cooked by boiling, steaming, simmering, frying or baking. Egg-fried Rice Firstly from Chinas ancient western regions, egg-fried rice has now become part of Chinese peoples daily food. It is fa

6、mous for its pleasant smell, soft taste and handsome appearance, and one can easily find this popular dish anywhere in China, from high-class hotels to family-run restaurants on the street. While it is fairly easy to make, there are some points that should be kept in mind: use left-over rice rather

7、than newly cooked rice for better taste. Additionally, before frying, the rice should be churned up.1.Which of the following may have its own farm?A.Restaurants serving wontons.B.Restaurants serving Peking Duck.C.Restaurants serving dumplings.D.Restaurants serving egg-fried rice.2.What makes dumplin

10、f 30% lower than normal-looking one. A trial run of the ugly food line, named Naturally Imperfect, began with only apples and potatoes to choose from. Consumer demand has been so huge that Loblaws is going to introduce more ugly vegetables and fruits like onions and mushrooms. All the produce that w

11、ill be sold through Naturally Imperfect would otherwise have been used in juices, sauces, or soups, or have not been harvested at all. The director Dan Branson explained that this program benefited both food producers who would otherwise have to let abnormal produce go to waste, and consumers who co

12、uld buy fresh produce at low prices. And he was right, given how popular the line has become. It really went well beyond our expectation, Branson said. I think it really spoke to the fact that Canadians are out there really looking for some choices. Of course, Canadians know that beauty is more than

13、 skin deep, and they also recognize that they can get the same flavor and nutritional benefits in spite of appearances. The positive response(响应) to the initial offering of apples and potatoes showed the opportunity to expand the line and offer more choices at a greater price to Canadian families. I

14、f you grow produce in your backyard, there will be a lot of produce that wont look as pretty as what you will see in a grocery store, said Branson. And nature doesnt grow everything perfectly. Id like to think if somebody were to take a No Name Naturally Imperfect apple, put it right beside a No.1 a

15、pple, close his eyes and eat them, there would be no difference.4.Loblaws is different from other supermarkets in that _.A.more fruits are offered at lower pricesB.normal-looking produce is not allowed thereC.imperfect produce is sold at lower prices thereD.only apples and potatoes are sold every da

18、our eyes closed.B.The world is usually full of imperfect things.C.Imperfect fruits are as tasty as perfect ones.D.The fruits grown by ourselves are more nutritious than those in the store.C The bad health effects of sleep loss during the week cant be repaid by longer weekend sleep, according to a ne

19、w study. Researchers have long known that sleep deprivation(剥夺) can cause weight gain and increase other health risks. But for those who force themselves out of bed every weekday after too few hours of shut-eye, they hope turning off the alarm on Saturday and Sunday will repay the weekly sleep debt

20、and remove any ill effects. The research, published in Current Biology, crushes those hopes. Despite complete freedom to sleep during a weekend recovery period, people in a sleep lab who were limited to five hours of sleep on weekdays gained nearly three pounds over two weeks and experienced disorde

21、rs that would increase their risk for diabetes over the long term. While weekend recovery sleep had some benefits after a single week of sleep loss, those gains were wiped out when people fell right back into their same sleep-deprived schedule the next Monday. If there are benefits of catch-up sleep

22、, theyre gone when you go back to your daily schedule. Its very short-lived, said Kenneth Wright, director of the sleep and chronobiology (生物钟学) lab at the University of Colorado at Boulder. These health effects are long-term. Its kind of like smoking once waspeople would smoke and wouldnt see an im

23、mediate effect on their health, but people will say now that smoking is not a healthy lifestyle choice. I think sleep loss is in the early stage of where smoking used to be. Wright said that the study suggests people should put sleep in the first placecutting out the sleep stealers such as watching

24、television shows or spending time on their phones. Even though people dont have a choice about losing sleep because of child-care responsibilities or job schedules, they should think about getting sleep in the same way they would get a healthy diet or exercise.8.What do the researchers find about we

25、ekend recovery sleep?A.It is common among people.B.It will make people healthier.C.It can make people put on weight.D.Its able to make up for the sleep loss.9.What does the underlined word crushes mean?A.Arouses.B.Guarantees.C.Deepens.D.Ruins.10.What will Kenneth Wright agree with?A.It takes long fo

26、r people to see the effects of sleep loss.B.Smoking and sleep loss have the same bad effects.C.Weekend recovery sleep has many benefits.D.Smoking is more harmful than sleep loss.11.What does Kenneth Wright advise people to do?A.Sleep as long as possible during weekdays.B.Watch some TV shows before b

27、edtime.C.Reduce the screen time before sleep.D.Take regular exercise every day.D Skyscrapers are the symbol of urban life. City people are used to seeing tall buildings and apartments. Farms, on the other hand, are associated with rural (农村的) life. However, there are experts who think skyscrapers sh

28、ould become farms to meet the increasing food needs. By the middle of this century, some scientists suggest, almost 80% of the Earths population could live in cities. In addition, the population could increase to 9.1 billion during that time yet the amount of land available for farming will be the s

29、ame. If current farming practices dont change, we will need an area of new land to produce enough food for the planet. Vertical farms, where urban farmers could grow crops in environment friendly skyscrapers, could be the solution. In spite of concerns over high costs, experts want to make it a real

30、ity and use these skyscrapers to grow crops. Vertical farms would have many advantages, supporters say. Unlike traditional farming, vertical farming could be free of chemicals and diseases. Besides, crops would not suffer from problems like flooding. Finally, vertical farms would reduce the cost and

31、 negative effects of transporting food over long distances. Some argue that although crops growing in a tall glass building would get natural sunlight during the day, it wouldnt be enough. For this reason, vertical farms would need additional light sources, such as artificial light. Another way of g

32、rowing fresh food is to build urban farms on rooftops. This more practical approach may be more achievable than the idea of farms in skyscrapers, researchers suggest. Experts agree that innovative (革新的) farming practices are needed to support the need for more food at affordable costs, both to the f

33、armer and to the consumer, but the best ideas have yet to come.12.What primary problem could vertical farming settle?A.Poor state of rural life.B.Shortage of food supply.C.High cost of transporting crops.D.Environmental pollution by traditional farming.13.What is the advantage of vertical farming?A.

34、It can produce organic food.B.It requires little care.C.It can benefit transport industry.D.It needs very low cost.14.What is a big challenge of making vertical farming a reality?A.Farmable land.B.Crop diseases.C.Light sources.D.Climate conditions.15.What can be the best title of the text?A.Future F

35、ood NeedsB.Symbol of Urban LifeC.Farming on RooftopsD.Farms of the Future第二节七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The small habits really damage the wallet.
