Top cookbooks of 2023
The Wok: Recipes and Techniques by J.Kenji Lopez-Alt
The Wok’s appeal is not innovation; you can find many dishes like Kung Pao Shrimp and Cumin Lamb on many Chinese restaurant menus. But you don’t have to leave your home. As far as I’m concerned, it’s worth the sticker price to learn the techniques.
Turkey and the Wolf: Flavor Trippin’ in New Orleans by Mason Hereford
Chef Mason Hereford has put to paper some of the magic that draws locals and tourists alike to his popular New Orleans sandwich shop, Turkey and the Wolf. The cookbook is full of recipes accessible to home cooks. The meatloaf is my favorite.
Mi Cocina: Recipes and Rapture from My Kitchen in Mexico by Rick Martinez
With seven sections focused on different regions across the country, Rick Martinez guides you through some of the essential recipes for each. The recipes are lovely, but what I love most are the stories alongside each of them. Food is deeply personal and with Mi Cocina, Martinez is sharing his life in food and inviting you to come along.
I Am from Here: Stories and Recipes from a Southern Chef by Vishwesh Bhatt
Western India and the Southern U.S. share more culinary (烹饪的) similarities than you’d think, from rice varieties to fresh tomatoes. Here, these ingredients explode in a delicious combination of seasonings and essential cooking techniques.
21.Whose book provides guidance on Chinese cooking
A. Rick Martinez’s. B. Vishwesh Bhatt’s.

One day in Bronx, a first-grade teacher sat down in a barbershop for a haircut and one of his students walked in, sat down, and started looking antsy. He thought to himself that it was a perfect opportunity to practice reading, a thought that changed Alvin Irby’s life, and he’s filling many barbershops around the US with free books to trim back childhood illiteracy(文盲). His non-profit, Barbershop Books, has delivered 50,000 free books to more than 200 barbershops in mainly black neighborhoods in 24 states, considering the fact that in Black American communities, barbershops are like community centers where people gather naturally.
“So many kids associate reading with something you do in or for school,” he said. “If the only place a kid practices the piano is during a lesson, the progress will be slow. Our program is about getting kids to say three words: ‘I’m a reader.’”
Irby’s program may seem straightforward but there’s a lot of thought behind it. He puts a colorful, kid-sized bookshelf in each shop, making it inviting to children. The books displayed are all carefully chosen based on recommendations from his target audience. The bookshelves display the covers of the books rather than the spines, helping kids who may be interested in reading seize the opportunity for themselves, whether they’re in the barber’s chair or they’re waiting on their dad or friend. And Irby involves the barbers in his mission — training them to engage kids about reading. “We want them to encourage kids to use the reading spaces,” he said. “Then they can talk to them about how they like reading, how funny a book was or tell them about another book another kid was reading.”
Denny Moe was the first barber to work with Irby. Moe had previously offered video games at his Harlem shop, to bring in extra income, but he was willing to quit that to help the community. “I decided to pay it forward by getting rid of the video games, putting books in here, just to get the kids’ minds going,” he said. “You want to make an impact.”
“These books, I would say, have power,” 8-year-old boy Chance said. That’s what keeps Irby motivated. “I’m just excited that we get to create a safe space for boys to do something that’s really life changing,” he said. “That’s what I really believe reading is. It unlocks potential.”
24. What does the underlined word in paragraph 1 most probably mean
A. Restless. B. Serious. C. Relieved. D. Joyful.
25. Why does the program appeal to children
A. Because it expresses children’s requirements. B. Because it shows children’s characteristics.
C. Because it protects children’s security. D.Because it considers children’s preferences.
26. What made Denny Moe give up the video games finally
A. That he wanted to attract more customers. B. That he wanted to make a difference.
C. That he wanted to bring in more money. D. That he wanted to meet different demands.
27. What is the best title for this passage
A. Black Kids, Potential Big Readers
B. Free Books, Good Way to Pay Back
C. Colourful Covers, Nice Try to Attract Kids
D. Small Barbershops, Treasure House to Start Reading
C
Women in post-pregnancy tend to respond slower to the outside world than they did before. In the West, this phenomenon is called “pregnancy brain”. In China, people describe it as “women are slower and less sharp for three years after giving birth.” However, studies showed that they are not less sharp. Rather, their brains are becoming better wired for parenting at the cost of memory.
In their 2016 research, Elseline Hoekzema and her team from the Netherlands scanned 25 women’s brains before and during pregnancy. The MRI results showed that there was a decrease in the amount of expectant mothers’ grey matter in their brains, which is responsible for multiple functions, including muscle control, emotions, speech and memory.
The decrease in grey matter isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Hoekzema compared it with the drop in the grey matter of teenagers during puberty(青春期). According to a previous study, during puberty, teenagers’ hormones cause a reduction in unnecessary synapses (突触), the connections between nerve cells. This process makes the brain work more efficiently. Likewise, the reduction of grey matter in new mothers’ brains might lead to greater parenting abilities.
The changes in the region of grey matter affected by pregnancy are known to play a role in social cognition(认知). This change might help a new mother better understand and decode her baby’s facial expressions and needs. Based on the results, scientists believed that the female brain experiences changes to help them better prepare for motherhood.
In a recent study led by Jonny Kohl from London’s Francis Crick Institute, experiments on the brains of pregnant mice provide concrete evidence that specific hormones improved connections between neurons(神经元) associated with parenting behaviors. While conducted on mice, this brain remodeling agrees with previous human studies, suggesting shared mechanisms, Newsweek reported.
However, this improvement in parenting-related skills might come at a cost. A 2010 study showed pregnant women have poorer memory skills than non-pregnant women, particularly concerning spatial recognition memory. This explains why many pregnant women sometimes lose their way on familiar routes.
And according to Hoekzema, the changes in women’s brains are long-lasting. So, next time your mom gets lost in a familiar place, be patient and kind to her. After all, her brain changed to bring you into the world!
28. During pregnancy, what happens to women’s brains
A. They increase in amount. B. They become more complex.
C. They generate new neuro cells. D. They lose some grey matter.
29. How might the changes in women’s brains during pregnancy benefit them
A. By improving their work efficiency. B. By boosting their muscle control.
C. By strengthening their social cognition. D. By adjusting their emotional state.
30. What do we know about Jonny Kohl’s study
A. It conflicted with Hoekzema’s team’s findings.
B. It compared pregnant mice with non-pregnant ones.
C. It explored the link between hormone changes and parenting behaviors.
D. It confirmed the long-lasting effects of pregnancy on women’s brains.
31. What is one potential disadvantage of brain changes in pregnant women
A. Poorer communication skills. B. A weaker sense of direction.
C. A shorter length of attention . D. Decreased problem-solving abilities.
D
Warming seas across the globe are endangering coral reefs(珊瑚礁), a key ecosystem that supports marine life to live and thrive. As a possible way to save them from extinction, scientists have recently frozen and revived groups of adult corals for the first time, according to a recent study.
Freezing biological materials, or “cryopreserving” them, refers to keeping them in a deep freeze for long periods without affecting the cell’s viability(活性), according to the Science Times website.
This method usually cools them to very low temperatures, commonly to -196℃. Since cells would normally die at such a low temperature due to the formation of ice inside, scientists need to monitor the freezing rate and choose the freezing medium carefully.
Researchers in the US experimented with freezing pea-sized pieces of a common coral in Hawaii. After removing the microbes on the corals, they sealed the corals in metal containers filled with a chemical solution that partially dehydrated(脱水) them and helped control ice growth.
When the corals reached a temperature of around -200℃, the remaining water in the corals solidified into a glassy form. The corals were still alive, with their life-driving functions becoming extremely slow. After being cryopreserved for a few minutes, the researchers pulled the corals out and placed them in warm water. In two minutes, they started consuming oxygen — a sign of them staying alive.
Previously, researchers had already successfully cryopreserved coral larvae(幼虫), according to a study in 2018. However, the larvae can only be collected when corals lay eggs, which happens just a few nights each year. “That’s putting a lot of eggs in one basket,” US marine scientist Liza Roger told Science News.
This breakthrough offers more hope to the world’s corals, said Roger. However, there’s more work to be done. A few days after thawing(解冻), the corals became “stressed out” from the process and were killed by the bacteria they normally live in harmony with. The researchers are working on using antibiotics to help them survive for a longer period of time.
32. What is the purpose of the recent study
A. To bring dead corals back to life. B. To freeze and revive coral larvae.
C. To find a way to preserve corals. D. To study the conditions of coral growth.
33. What happened to the corals when they were cryopreserved
A. They died for the time being. B. Their life functions slowed down.
C. They remained alive and unchanged. D. They fed on microbes in the containers.
34. What does Roger think about cryopreserving coral larvae
A. It is not a reliable solution. B. It needs a large number of eggs.
C. It holds promise for restoring corals. D. It requires overly expensive technology.
35. What issue do the researchers still need to approach
A. Finding a suitable freezing medium. B. Identifying the bacteria on the corals.
C. Expanding the collection of coral larvae. D. Maintaining the corals’ health after thawing.

WHY A DOSE OF FEAR IS GOOD FOR YOU
Eleanor Roosevelt once said: “Do one thing every day that scares you.” She was onto something. Science has shown that feeling fear — in the right doses (量) — has several benefits.
·Feeling fear is fun and exciting. Many people scare themselves on purpose. 36
When you step outside your comfort zone, it is fear that makes you feel alive, which is fun and exciting. The excitement generated can also help reduce depression by increasing adrenaline (肾上腺素), which in turn increases excitement and glucose (changed into energy). 37 A dose of fear is an “eraser” for the mind.
· 38 Being afraid of something can remind you of an area of your life that is limiting you. For instance, if you’re afraid of flying but face the fear and gather up the courage to step on an airplane, you can travel the world. Adding to your experiences means that you’ll create a varied life. You’ll also have fewer regrets.
·Fear makes you aware of what’s really important in life. How often have you said to yourself: “When I have more time, I’ll spend it with my family, pursue my passion, eat healthier or exercise more” Fear makes you realize that “now” is the only time you have to achieve and follow through what is most important.
39
Some say where fear meets courage is the sweet spot in which mountains get scaled and rivers are run. 40 We should all embrace our fear. Not the big fears that are life-threatening but the helpful fears that come in small doses.
A. Fear helps you succeed.
B. “Later” is never ensured.
C. Fear allows you to live life to the fullest.
D. They watch scary movies, ride roller coasters or go skydiving.
E. And every time you come through a challenge, you feel empowered.
F. Most of all, fear can be the birth place of change, creativity and innovation.
G. Actually, it’s nearly impossible to be thinking of your worries when you are experiencing fear.

A Secret Promise Kept
When I was a little boy, I loved to visit the fire station where my father worked. Sometimes Dad would give me a ten cents to buy a soda(汽水).
One day, I took two friends to the station to show my dad off. I asked Dad if we could each have a soda before we went home for lunch. I sensed just the slightest hesitation in my father’s voice. But he said “sure” and gave us each a dime(一毛钱). We each bought a soda and headed home for lunch and a summer afternoon of swimming.
When I came home, I heard my parents talking. Mom seemed upset with Dad, and then I heard my name mentioned. “You should have just said you didn’t have money for sodas. Brian would have understood. We don’t have any extra money, and you need to have your lunch.”
I suddenly realized the sacrifice(牺牲) my father had made for it. For the next twenty years, he worked three jobs to support my big family.
One afternoon Dad’s old car broke down, and he asked me to take him to his doctor's appointment. As I pulled up to the firehouse, I saw Dad outside around a brand-new pickup truck with the other firemen. It was a beauty. Dad said, “Someday, I’ll own a truck like that.”
My brothers and I were doing well in business. We had offered to buy him a truck, but he refused.
When Dad stepped out of the doctor’s office, his face was pale. “Let’s go,” was all he said.
We drove by the old house, the lake and the corner store, and Dad started talking about the memories each place held and how proud he was of us. That was when I knew he was dying, which totally shocked me. He made me promise that I would never tell anyone of his impending(迫近的) death. I agreed, knowing it was the toughest secret to keep.
At the time, I was just looking to buy a new truck, so I invited Dad to go to the local car dealer’s (经销商) shop with me.
________________________________________________________________________________________
I walked to my father with the key to the brown truck.

One possible version:
Good morning, boys and girls! It’s a great honour for me to stand here and deliver a speech themed Self-confidence. Self-confidence, an essential quality that helps individuals overcome challenges and achieve their goals, is not a natural characteristic but can be developed through consistent effort and practice.
One way to build self-confidence is by setting goals and celebrating small victories. Breaking down larger goals into smaller, manageable tasks can help create a sense of progress and accomplishment. Another habit that can boost self-confidence is to challenge negative self-talk with positive thinking, which can help individuals overcome self-doubt.
In a word, self-confidence is not something that can be acquired overnight but is a skill that can be fostered over time. So let’s try our best to become confident! Thank you!

One possible version:
At the time, I was looking to buy a new truck, so I invited Dad to go to the local car dealer’s(经销商) shop with me. As we entered the showroom and I started talking with the salesman, I spotted Dad looking at a beautiful chocolate-brown pickup truck, running his hand over it. I said to my father, “Dad, you really like that brown truck, don’t you ” Dad nodded smilingly. “Why don’t you go inside and see how it feels？I’ll look at the other trucks.” Having looked around, I decided on a blue truck. I told the salesman I would take the brown one too, for my dad, after which we made the deal.
I walked to my father with the key to the brown truck to my father. “Dad, the brown truck is yours now. A gift from me.” “What !” he exclaimed, “I can’t accept it.” “You have made too many sacrifices for us. You deserve it.” Hearing what I said, Dad held my hands tightly, tears welling up in his eyes, saying “Thank you, son.” I asked him to promise me not to tell anyone I bought the truck for him. Grinning from ear to ear, he nodded a yes and got into his dream car. We both kept our promise, knowing it was a promise of love.

33. B.根据第五段The corals were still alive, with their life-driving functions becoming extremely slow可知，当珊瑚被冷冻时，它们还活着，但是它们的生命机能减缓。
34. A.根据第六段可知，之前科学家成功冷冻了珊瑚的幼虫，但是珊瑚的幼虫只有在珊瑚产卵的时候才能收集，而珊瑚产卵每年只发生在几个夜晚，因此Roger认为那等于是把很多鸡蛋放在一个篮子里，言外之意是这个方法很不可靠。
35. D.根据最后一段可知，在解冻几天后，由于在冷冻的过程中珊瑚收到了伤害，它们被在正常情况下与之和谐共处的细菌杀死，因此科学家正在着手使用抗生素来帮助它们存活更长的时间。
第二节主题语境：人与社会——科学
本文是说明文。适度恐惧是有好处的。
36. D。设空处进一步解释前一句。许多人专门吓唬自己，“他们看恐怖电影，坐过山车或跳伞。”D项中的They指代前一句的Many people.
37. G。根据设空处后一句的内容可知，设空处和人的心理活动有关，因此G项“当你经历恐惧时，几乎不可能想到你的担忧”符合语境。G项中的impossible to be thinking of your worries与后一句中“eraser” for the mind相照应。
38. C。设空处所在段主要讲了如果人挑战内心的恐惧，做一些让自己害怕的事情，会丰富自己的经历，从而让自己的人生少一些遗憾，因此，C项“恐惧让你活得充实”符合语境。
39. B。根据设空处前一句可知，恐惧会让你意识到什么是重要的，并顿悟抓住“现在”时刻的意义，因此，B项“‘以后’永远无法保证（那些重要的人和事能被关心和完成)”符合语境。B项中的Later和前一句中的now相照应。
40. F。最后一段总结全文。设空处与前一句在语义上构成递进关系。有人说恐惧与勇气相遇的地方，是最美好的地方。“最重要的是，恐惧可能是变革、创造力和创新的发源地。”因此，让我们拥抱恐惧！
完形填空
本文是记叙文。讲述一位汽车设计师Brian Peterson通过为无家可归者画像，筹集资金，设立公益机构帮助他们摆脱困境，回归正常生活的故事。
41. D 根据第二段43空后homeless可知选D。
42. C 根据第三段第一句可知，Peterson那天是第一次交谈，此前只是路过，二人从未说过话。
43. A Brian在客厅“安静”地看书，此时被外面的叫喊声打扰。
44. B 受到所读书本内容的“启发”，他决定去跟Matt Faris谈谈。D. touched“感动的”有干扰，但此处强调的是Peterson后来发起公益行动的起因（是受书中传递信息的启发才萌生了此念头）。48空前But his story inspired me.也是类似表达。
45. C 根据54空及后面fulfilling his musical dreams可知，他原本是来“追求（从事）”音乐职业的。
46. D 因为世事维艰，怀揣音乐梦想的Matt Faris结果(ended up)无家可归，沦落街头。
47. B Brian根据Matt的，猜测他“很可能”(probably)快一年没洗澡刮脸了。
48. A 此处前后为转折关系，“尽管”Peterson很久没画画了，却主动提出为Faris画肖像。
49. C 两人的联系促使Peterson创立了Faces of Santa Ana。A不对，两人不是邂逅(encounter)，而是Peterson主动去与Faris攀谈。
50. D 这家公益组织主要是(focused on)为社区的无家可归者画像，帮助他们。
51. A 根据后文for a few thousand dollars可知，Peterson我卖画筹钱帮助对方。
52. B 此处“subject”意为“（被画的）对象”，最后一段Another subject, Kimberly有暗示。
53. A 短语get back on one’s feet意为“重新站起来/振作起来”。
54. B Faris得到钱后，用它来“录制”了一张专辑，圆了自己的音乐梦。
55. C 母女俩得到支票后感动地“哭了”。
语法填空
56. on 此处考介词。a ban on... 一条关于……的禁令
57. latest 此处考查形容词。one of...+名词，名词前常用形容词最高级。
58. Creators 此处考查名词。 “创作者”和品牌方可以在他们的视频和直播中添加“商店”按钮。
59. allowing 此处考查动词-ing做结果状语，表自然而然或意料之中的结果。
60. are meant 此处考查谓语动词。文中“这些规定从根本上说是要求将电子商务和社交媒体分开，旨在保护商家”，rules做主语，要用被动语态。
61. being affected 此处考查非谓语动词。prevent... from being done，防止市场“被影响”。
62. relied/had relied/had been relying 此处考查谓语动词。文中“一些依赖TikTok商店的印尼商家said...”
63. that 此处考查代词。他在TikTok的盈利是其他电子商务平台的三倍，that代指the profit。
64. but 此处考查连词。文中印尼商家表示“关闭TikTok商店不是在拯救中小企业，而是在拯救其他电商平台”，not..but...不是……而是……。
65. where 此处考查连词。文中“这次严厉打击可能会增加TikTok商店在其他国家的运营压力”，where引导定语从句。
