Archan Chan recalls her first experience working in a Chinese restaurant more than 14 years ago. Employed as an apprentice(学徒)chef, she was one of just two women in the kitchen – the other’s sole job was to beat eggs. “She was unbelievably fast at beating eggs. I guess for a woman to survive in a traditional Chinese kitchen back then, you had to be the best in something,” she says.
Today, Chan leads the kitchen of Ho Lee Fook, one of Hong Kong’s most popular restaurants. After spending more than a decade working in fine dining restaurants in Australia and Singapore, she is one of a few female chefs who have risen to the top of a high-end Chinese restaurant. That’s an impressive feat, given how incredibly challenging it has been for women to soar in high-profile Chinese kitchens.
Female chefs have long been a minority in professional kitchens around the world. But the situation is even bleaker in Chinese kitchens. There’s no denying the work is physically demanding – an empty pot weighs about 2.2 kilograms – but there are other factors at play.
In the past, masters of many Chinese kitchens would recruit apprentices and pass their skills to them. Few chefs would risk recruiting a female trainee into that harsh environment.
Given all of these barriers, not many women would even consider this male-dominated industry as an attractive career path. Thankfully, there are signs of a shift in mindset – the number of female Chinese head chefs has been rising in recent years.
“Even if it’s a male-dominant kitchen, all everyone cares about is food – the cooking. They don’t care if you’re a male or female. Gender shouldn’t matter,” Chan says.
“Yes, there is a physical barrier but I think the mental barrier may be more obstructive(阻碍的)to the increase of women in Chinese kitchens,”Chan adds. “It isn’t just about how much you want it but how much hard work you’re willing to put into it. There are days when you feel like your arms are falling apart and you can’t move them anymore, but the next day, you’re stronger and may be able to work a heavier work.”
24．What can we learn about Archan Chan
A．She got a rapid promotion.
B．She does best in beating eggs.
C．She is the best female chef in China.
D．She made a great achievement in her career.
25．What’s a cause of very few female chefs in professional kitchens
A．Kitchen is a harsh place for women.
B．Women are afraid of physical work.
C．Customers care about the gender of the chef.
D．Women face both mental and physical barriers.
26．Which of the following can best describe Archan Chan
A．Strong-willed. B．Open-minded. C．Cool-headed. D．Kind-hearted.
27．What would be the best title for the text
A．Female chefs have risen to the top.
B．Female chefs have long been a minority.
C．Female chefs are proving doubters wrong.
D．Female chefs are replacing male chefs gradually.

When I was 9, we packed up our home in Los Angeles and arrived at Heathrow, London on a gray January morning. Everyone in the family settled quickly into the city except me. Without my beloved beaches and endless blue—sky days, I felt at a loss and out of place. Until I made a discovery.
Southbank, at an eastern bend in the Thames, is the center of British skateboarding, where the continuous crashing of skateboards left your head ringing .I loved it. I soon made friends with the local skaters. We spoke our own language. And my favorite: Safe. Safe meant cool. It meant hello. It meant don't worry about it. Once, when trying a certain trick on the beam（横杆）, I fell onto the stones, damaging a nerve in my hand, and Toby came over, helping me up: Safe, man. Safe. A few minutes later, when I landed the trick, my friends beat their boards loud, shouting: “ Safe! Safe! Safe!” And that's what mattered—landing tricks, being a good skater.
When I was 15, my family moved to Washington. I tried skateboarding there, but the locals were far less welcoming. Within a couple of years, I'd given it up.
When I returned to London in 2004, I found myself wandering down to Southbank, spending hours there. I've traveled back several times since, most recently this past spring. The day was cold but clear: tourists and Londoners stopped to watch the skaters. Weaving（穿梭）among the kids who rushed by on their boards, I found my way to the beam. Then a rail—thin teenager, in a baggy white T—shirt, skidded（滑）up to the beam. He sat next to me. He seemed not to notice the man next to him. But soon I caught a few of his glances. “I was a local here 20 years ago,” I told him. Then, slowly, he began to nod his head. “Safe, man. Safe.”
“Yeah,” I said. “Safe.”
28. What can we learn about the author soon after he moved to London
A. He felt disappointed. B. He gave up his hobby.
C. He liked the weather there. D. He had disagreements with his family.
29. What do the underlined words “Safe! Safe! Safe!” probably mean
A. Be careful! B. Well done! C. No way! D. Don't worry!
30. Why did the author like to spend time in Southbank when he returned to London
A. To join the skateboarding. B. To make new friends.
C. To learn more tricks. D. To relive his childhood days
31. What message does the author seem to convey in the text
A. Children should learn a second language.
B. Sport is necessary for children's health.
C. Children need a sense of belonging
D. Seeing the world is a must for children.
D
The connection between people and plants has long been the subject of scientific research. Recent studies have found positive effects. A study conducted in Youngstown，Ohio，for example, discovered that greener areas of the city experienced less crime. In another，employees were shown to be 15% more productive when their workplaces were decorated with houseplants.
The engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT)have taken it a step further changing the actual composition of plants in order to get them to perform diverse，even unusual functions. These include plants that have sensors printed onto their leaves to show when they’re short of water and a plant that can detect harmful chemicals in groundwater. ＂We’re thinking about how we can engineer plants to replace functions of the things that we use every day,＂explained Michael Strano, a professor of chemical engineering at MIT.
One of his latest projects has been to make plants grow(发光)in experiments using some common vegetables. Strano’s team found that they could create a faint light for three-and-a-half hours. The light，about one-thousandth of the amount needed to read by，is just a start. The technology, Strano said, could one day be used to light the rooms or even to turn tree into self-powered street lamps.
In the future，the team hopes to develop a version of the technology that can be sprayed onto plant leaves in a one-off treatment that would last the plant’s lifetime. The engineers are also trying to develop an on and off＂switch＂where the glow would fade when exposed to daylight.
Lighting accounts for about 7% of the total electricity consumed in the US. Since lighting is often far removed from the power source(电源)-such as the distance from a power plant to street lamps on a remote highway-a lot of energy is lost during transmission(传输).
Glowing plants could reduce this distance and therefore help save energy.
32. What is the first paragraph mainly about
A. A new study of different plants.
B. A big fall in crime rates.
C. Employees from various workplaces.
D. Benefits from green plants.
33. What is the function of the sensors printed on plant leaves by MIT engineer
A. To detect plants’ lack of water
B. To change compositions of plants
C. To make the life of plants longer.
D. To test chemicals in plants.
34. What can we expect of the glowing plants in the future
A. They will speed up energy production.
B. They may transmit electricity to the home.
C. They might help reduce energy consumption.
D. They could take the place of power plants.
35. Which of the following can be the main idea of the text
A. Whether we can grow more glowing plants.
B. How we live with glowing plants.
C.Whether glowing plants can replace lamps.
D. How glowing plants are made pollution-free.

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。
If you suffer from social anxiety, you will fear certain situations. Some fear speaking in front of groups of people, while others fear going to parties or other types of social events. In whichever situation your fear arises, you’ll probably experience sweating, flushing, feeling your heart race, or other symptoms of anxiety. 36
Number One: Deep muscle relaxation.
Learning to physically relax is one of the best ways to overcome anxiety. 37 For deep muscle relaxation, you will tense and then relax the major muscle groups of your body, beginning with your feet and working your way towards your head and face.
Number Two: Slow breathing.
38 When you’re anxious, your breathing becomes faster and more shallow and as a result, you’ll feel light-headed and dizzy, bringing on more anxiety. Learning to breathe slower and more regularly through your nose will help you calm down.
Number Three: Visualization.
The key to visualization is to remember a place where you felt safe and comfortable. Once you remember this place, get a picture of it in your mind so clearly that you can feel, see, smell and even taste that place. 39
Number Four: 40
Most people with social anxiety want to hide, avoid, or run away from whatever they’re scared of. But by facing your anxiety instead you’ll find that it is usually something you can tolerate after a few exposures. When using this method, focus on what’s going on around you instead of what’s going through your mind. That should help you distract yourself from those anxious thoughts.
A. Facing your anxiety. B. Controlling your thoughts. C. But this takes practice and patience. D. It’s impossible to feel both relaxed and anxious. E. This technique will help you better handle the situation of being lonely. F. Whatever your symptoms, there are things you can do to deal with your social anxiety. G. Controlling your breathing when you suffer anxiety is another good way to deal with your emotions.

In business, not to mention life, all sorts of invisible mental ropes may hold us back. It results in missed opportunities and wasted ____53____. So don’t hold onto the ____54____ that you can’t grow or learn from past failures. All it takes is ____55____ eyes to reexamine the situation.

Kim Cobb, a professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, is one 'of a small but growing minority of academics 56 are cutting back on their air travel because of climate change. Travelling to conferences, lectures, workshops, and the like—frequently by plane- 57 (view)as important for scientists to get together and exchange information. But Cobb and others 58 (be) now questioning that idea-—pushing conferences to provide more chances to participate remotely and 59 (change) their personal behavior to do their part in dealing with the climate change crisis. On a website called No Fly Climate Sci, for example, 60 (rough) 200 academics-—many of them climate scientists— 61 (promise) to fly as little as possible since the effort started two years ago.
Cobb, for her part, started to ask conference organizers who invited her to speak 62 she could do so remotely; about three-quarters of 63 time, they agreed. When the answer was no, she declined the 64 (invite).That approach brought Cobb's air travel last year down by 75%6, and she plans 65 (continue)the practice."It has been fairly rewarding," she says—"a really positive change."

It was Christmas Eve morning, and I awoke with a purpose: to find my lost cat, Baby-Girl. As I got ready, I could hear icy rain beating against the window. Baby-Girl was out there somewhere in the storm; I could just feel her. Sure, it had been six months since she went missing, but I still had faith. This was the season for miracles(奇迹),after all.
Earlier this summer, my sweet pet disappeared from my parents' house in Indiana. Baby-Girl had been staying with them while I was between apartments. At the time, I lived and worked in Washington, D.C. I was staying with friends until I signed my lease(租约)on a new place. Baby-Girl had gotten out of my parents' house three days before I was set to fly back home to pick her up.
My dad and I had spent that entire visit searching for her. Dad was the family's resident "realist," which meant he spent a whole lot of time trying to prepare me for the worst. "She' s either been hit by a car or been taken in by someone who found her," he said. However, I believed I'd see Baby-Girl again. Even after I returned to D.C. without her and the weeks stretched into months, deep down I had. this undeniable feeling that we would be reunited one day.
Now, home again in Indiana for the holidays, I was determined to pick up my search right where I' d left off. I grabbed Baby-Girl' s cat carrier, loaded it into the car, and then asked my dad to drive me to the shelter.
"Sharon, you have to be realistic," Dad said as we headed to the garage (车库).“She' s been gone too long. You' re not going to find her."
"Well, I disagree. Don' t you believe in miracles " I asked.
Dad said nothing more but climbed into the driver' s seat. At the shelter, a woman at the front desk greeted my dad warmly."Good to see you again, Mr. Dillon! Still looking for your cat " Ah, I thought,maybe he' s not such a pessimist after all.

Dear George,
I'm writing to invite you to join us in the “Chinese speech contest for foreigners” to be held in our school. The activity is scheduled at 8:00 a.m. on January 20th in the lecture hall.
The theme of the speech contest is “differences between eastern and western customs”, through which the foreign students are bound to gain a better understanding of Chinese splendid traditional culture and meanwhile strengthen their love of China.
Immensely fascinated by its mysterious culture and age-old history, you can, undoubtedly give us a wonderful and impressive performance. You are expected to sign up for the contest at www. . I'd appreciate it if you could accept our invitation.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
One possible version:
Then the woman took us to the rows of cages with cats of all colors and sizes inside. I searched carefully, but to my disappointment, none of them was my Baby-Girl. Just then I noticed a room farther back, where the woman said they kept the cats that just came in. I pushed ahead and when I stepped in, I heard a familiar meow. My eyes immediately zeroed in on a little cat. She was skinnier than I remembered, but I was sure she was my Baby-Girl! I opened the cage door, and she practically jumped into my arms. Both my dad and the woman were shocked.
I pointed out that this cat was my Baby-Girl,but they both doubted it."This cat had just been brought in during the morning storm," the woman said. "Wait here! I can prove she' s my cat," I said firmly, excusing myself to grab the carrier. I' d trained Baby-Girl to walk inside the carrier before.Sure enough, when she was let down on the floor,she made a dash for the carrier and stayed right inside. "That' s definitely your cat," the woman laughed. I was almost in tears. My heart was filled with happiness — my cat was finally home again.The miracle had happened!
