Chinese people are,quite rightly,proud of their food.However,when foreigners like Britons and Americans think of Chinese food,their impression of it is different to what you might think.

Because I was growing up in the UK,the Chinese food I was used to eating was food I now recognize as being from Guangdong.For example,a typical dish I would order would be pork in sweet and sour sauce,probably with some rice and spring rolls on the side.This is the type of food we generally eat because most Chinese immigrants to the UK have come from Guangdong.You can tell,because when most British people try to copy the sound of Chinese,they actually copy the sound of Guangdong people—hearing the realputonghuais sometimes a shock to British people who have grown up thinking it sounds completely different!

British attitudes to Chinese food may be changing,though.Chinese-American chef Ken Hom has been on British TV more than 30 years,and he said,“Chinese food at the beginning of the 80s (in the UK) was sweet and sour pork,mainly.Most Brits had the unchangeable view on Chinese food.Now you are seeing more local Chinese food from Sichuan,Hunan and other areas of China.It is no longer just Guangdong food.” Similarly,to most Americans,Chinese food doesn't go too far past orange chicken and fortune cookies,but more Chinese local dishes are becoming successful,especially in big cities like New York.

Attitudes have not quite changed completely,though.Many foreigners who live in China will be familiar with this question from a relative back at home,“Have they given you dog meat yet?” Yes,perhaps because people still know too little about Chinese culture,many people believe that Chinese people love to eat dog meat.And of course,some people do eat dogs,which to Americans is like “eating a member of one's family” according toVision Times.Also,Chinese people eat many other things people in the West do not—chicken claws,duck heads and some animals' organs.

But what do foreigners think when they come to China and taste real Chinese food? You'll be glad to know that in my experience,the impressions have been very good.

1.What does chef Ken Hom think of the present Chinese food in the UK?

A.More popular.B.Richer.

C.Tastier.D.Better.

2.How does paragraph 3 develop?

A.By giving examples.

B.By making comparisons.

C.By analyzing.

D.By reasoning.

3.What can we infer from “Have they given you dog meat yet?”?

A.Foreigners don't like eating dog meat at all.

B.Chinese hate dogs so they often eat them.

C.Chinese eat everything including dog meat.

D.There are differences between cultures.

When I picked upThe Woks of Life,a cookbook written by the Leung family,I was very excited.Inside there are mom-and-dad approved recipes with stories and photos—even a timeline—of the family's history.

“We call our cookbook culinary genealogy (烹饪家谱).We wanted the book to be our family's stories told through food,rather than just characteristic recipes,” said Sarah Leung,who co-wrote the book with her parents and younger sister.“We grew up in a food-obsessed (着迷的) family.Honestly,I've developed a quarter of these recipes myself,” Sarah added.“Over time,we'll accomplish our goal: All family members are competent Chinese cooks.”

The cookbook features dishes which might be made in a Chinese-American home as well as in Chinese-American takeout restaurants.“Home-style cooking and restaurant-style cooking have equal importance,but they are different,” Sarah said,adding that the family also discussed how to be respectful of each point.“I hope the recipes will appeal to Chinese Americans,like my family,and also those less familiar with Chinese cooking.”

Part of their cookbook has also been posted on their website,attracting millions of faithful followers.The success of the cookbook is that it honors tradition and reflects modern interpretations,making it a mixture of the old and the new.It also offers building blocks for home cooks who want to learn to cook Chinese food.

I started my exploration with the Kung Pao Chicken,a popular dish and also my favorite.Joyfully,the dish I made tasted like it was supposed to be.It really built up my confidence.Surely,as you can imagine,I have also set up my goal to be expert in Chinese cooking.

The cookbook is promoting Chinese cooking as the domain of home cooks in the United States.For too long,Chinese cooking has been a cuisine that many people are used to only eating out.

B.It is written by family members.

C.It includes the story of a family.

D.It contains mom-and-dad approved recipes.

B.Faithful and energetic.

C.Devoted and considerate.

6.What does the author think ofThe Woks of Life?

A.It is a typical Chinese cookbook.

B.Its success lies in honoring tradition.

C.It offers building blocks for all cooks.

D.It helps improve the author's cooking skills.

7.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A.Most Americans are used to eating out.

B.The cookbook has become a best seller.

C.American home cooks prefer Chinese cooking.

D.The cookbook benefits the spread of Chinese cooking.

Ask people in the UK what the words“Sunday roast” mean to them,and they'll probably take you back to their grandmothers' dining rooms—maybe with a few stories of “the greatest puddings” and “the best ever steak”.But now the traditional Sunday roast seems to have been left back in the old days.According toDaily Mail,just one in 50 British families sits down to this weekly meal together.

There are many reasons why the roast is becoming less popular.In the busy modern world,where breakfast is a slice of toast eaten on the way to work or school and lunch is a quick sandwich in front of the computer screen,people just don't seem to have the time or patience to make a roast.

And Sunday was once a day when people could easily go to the kitchen to cook.Nowadays,people are often out shopping or at the cinema until it's far too late to start thinking about heating the oven (烤箱) up.

However,a recent article fromThe Telegraphwarned against being carried away by our tight schedules: “It would be a shame to let this fine old tradition disappear.”

The Guardianfurther explained that the eating of the big meal is only the half of it.The Sunday roast also makes for relaxed morning activities in the kitchen,and the table becomes the perfect place to share good food and chat with family and friends.“For busy moms and dads,even if you can manage to turn off your mobile phone and the TV only once a week and turn the Sunday roast into a real family event,children can have fun cooking the food and clearing up together.”

8.Why do people pay less attention to the Sunday roast nowadays?

A.They have a busy lifestyle.

B.They have no interest in cooking.

C.They don't think it worthwhile.

D.They are living in modern society.

9.What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 5 refer to?

A.A recent article.

B.The fine old tradition.

C.A traditional kitchen.

D.The Sunday morning activity.

10.How does the author feel towards the Sunday roast's decline?

A.Sorry.

B.Doubtful.

C.Uncertain.

D.Positive.

11.What is the best title for the text?

A.Sunday—best time for family

B.The Sunday roast is dying out

C.The perfect time for us

D.Let's sit down together

For many Chinese consumers,a satisfying breakfast is one that includes either hot porridge (粥) or steamed buns (馒头).Cold sandwiches,which are usually popular with Westerners,are probably one of the last options on their minds.But that is not to say that consumers,especially those in an international city like Shanghai,would avoid everything considered Western for breakfast.For instance,coffee,which has steadily grown in popularity in the country,is one drink that many cannot do without today.

To satisfy this growing demand for breakfast sets that combine elements from the East and the West,food companies have been rolling out a host of new offerings to attract the customer.One example is Shanghai Qiao Coffee,which was launched by local timehonored food company Qiaojiashan at the end of 2019.Apart from its traditional dim sum,the store also sells various types of coffee.

According to Shen Yan,deputy manager of Shanghai Qiaojiashan Catering Food Development Co.,Ltd.,the most popular breakfast set at the moment is the steamed vegetable bun paired with black coffee.“The calories that one gets from a meal featuring Chinese dim sum and coffee are less than those of a Western breakfast.Since a steamed bun has nearly 200 calories and a cup of black coffee barely has any calories,this combination can be considered healthy and delicious,” said Shen.

Even the smaller shops in the food scene are jumping on the East-West breakfast trend.Western food establishments,too,have been rolling out Chinese breakfast options.“Consumers and even cultural heritage will also benefit from the increased competition.If not for the current trend which has revived interest in certain traditional dim sum,these foods could soon be lost to history,” Shen said.

12.What can we learn about breakfast in Shanghai in paragraph 1?

A.People favour porridge and steamed buns.

B.Coffee is a necessity for many people.

C.People avoid Western food for breakfast.

D.Cold sandwiches are a popular choice.

13.Why does the set of the steamed vegetable bun with black coffee sell well?

A.It is newly launched.

B.It is tasty and healthy.

C.It has Chinese characteristics.

D.It contains more nutrients.

14.What can we learn from Shen's words in the last paragraph?

A.Western food companies don't care about East-West breakfast.

B.Only big companies have the capacity to seize the market share.

C.The combination trend helps keep some traditional foods alive.

D.The competition for breakfast sets is of no benefit to consumers.

15.What does the author intend to tell us?

A.Western breakfast is well received by Shanghai people.

B.Chinese consumers show more interest in Western food.

C.Shanghai Qiao Coffee has won great success for its breakfast sets.

D.The Chinese-Western breakfast set is warmly welcomed in Shanghai.

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 of us grab a cup of coffee and a quick bite in the morning and eat more as the day goes on.__16__ However,more and more studies on health suggest we may be doing it all backward.

Dr Kahleova said that the message is simple.It's just like the old proverb: “Eat breakfast like a king,lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar.” Good as it is,this piece of advice may be hard to follow.Nowadays,family life and social get-togethers so often revolve around sitting down to a big meal at the end of the day.__20__

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。

Good friendship can get people through almost anything.Many times,good friends will know what you need before you even ask for it,and they'll want to offer a helping hand.That's what happened to two friends in Caddo Hills High School.When one differently disabled young man needed help,his friend went above and beyond.

When Brandon and Tanner met,Brandon was using a hand-push wheelchair.The chair was becoming kind of a pain for Brandon as he had to push his way down the halls from class to class around Caddo Hills High School.“My arms would get really tired and I would have to stop and take rests,” said Brandon.

Sometimes when they were together,Brandon would ask Tanner to push his wheelchair.Tanner was happy to help.Most often,Tanner would offer to help and he noticed how hard using this wheelchair was for his friend.Tanner thought that if his friend had had an electric wheelchair,life would be easier for him.But Brandon's family was unable to afford it.Seeing how much his friend struggled in his wheelchair,Tanner made up his mind to do something about it.“He's just been a really good friend and I wanted to do him a favor.I just felt like I needed to do it and I wanted to do it,” Tanner explained.

Then the enthusiastic high school student became devoted to getting his friend a wheelchair.He got an after-school job at an auto repair shop and he worked there every afternoon.In order to help his friend out,Tanner worked part-time for two years.All of the money he earned went towards saving for a self-powered wheelchair.That moment finally came in late February,when he would present Brandon with a life-changing gift during the school day.

注意:续写词数应为150左右。

Paragraph 1:

At the beginning,Tanner had planned on giving Brandon all the money he had saved.

Paragraph 2:

Brandon cried when he first got the wheelchair.________________________________
