Beejhy Barhany, growing up in an Ethiopian-Jewish community in Israel, has been cooking for her family as long as she can remember. Now a chef and owner of Tsion Café in Harlem, New York, Barhany continues to pull from cooking traditions, including one that has become the source of much controversy in recent decades: washing raw meat before cooking.
For Barhany, submerging raw chicken in salt and lemon water is both functional and ceremonial, as soaking or rinsing raw meat in salt water and acid-such as lemon juice or vinegar-is a common form of “washing” required by Jewish Kosher rules. And a 2015. survey of over 1, 500 American consumers found that nearly 70 percent rinse or wash their poultry before cooking it, though the U. S. Department of Agriculture( USDA) started telling consumers not to wash raw poultry in the 1990s. Experts including those from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention strongly warned that rather than reducing the risk of foodborne illness (食源性疾病), washing meat increases the likelihood of spreading unwanted pathogens (病原体), like salmonella and campylobacter, around the kitchen.
“Washing meat before cooking is not really helping,” says Betty Feng, associate professor of food science at Purdue University. “The only thing it does is splashing (飞溅) and could cross-contaminate a lot of your kitchen items-your sink, probably your clothes, whatever you have by the sink.” Moreover, Feng cautions against using saltwater, vinegar, or lemon juice, which simply isn’t strong enough to effectively kill foodborne pathogens. “If the acidity is high enough to kill bacteria, then it’s not really likely you can use your bare hand to wash,” she says.
And a 2022 study showed that submerging meat in a bowl of water reduced the splashing but not the spread of germs. “I would treat the entire sink just like the outside of the chicken——it’s a biological hazard,” says Benjamin Chapman, one of the study authors and associate professor in North Carolina State University’s agricultural and human sciences department. “The way that we make meat safe is through cooking, not through the removal of pathogens.”
24．What is the purpose of paragraph 1
A．To broaden the readers’ horizons. B．To make a comparison.
C．To introduce the topic. D．To state the author’s opinion.
25．What is mentioned about the Jewish Kosher rules from this text
A．Nearly 70 percent of American consumers follow the rules.
B．The rules pay attention to functional and ceremonial aspects.
C．Uncooked meat is submerged in water with salt and vinegar.
D．It warns people of the risk of foodborne illness.
26．What is TRUE about “washing meat before cooking” according to Betty
A．It has sparked a lot of controversy in recent years.
B．It has decreased the risk of foodborne illness.
C．It can not be directly done/with your bare hands.
D．It may do a favor/ to the transfer of pathogens.
27．Why is the underlined phrase “biological hazard” mentioned in the last paragraph
A．To emphasize that chickens pose a level/of threat to humans’ life.
B．To show that sinks can be a way to increase splashing.
C．To prove that cooking is a good way to kill pathogens.
D．To stress that the practice people follow is not advisable.
C
In America, the “Big Dig”, a highway project that resulted in a mess of traffic in the centre of Boston for years, came in five times over its initial budget. Even the Germans get huge projects wrong. Conception to operation of Berlin Brandenburg Airport has taken 30 years, with seven missed opening dates. The airport ended up costing $8.2 billion. However, the original estimate was about $2.7 billion.
Huge projects like Berlin Brandenburg Airport are the subject of an amusing new book called How Big Things Get Done by Bent Flyvbjerg and Dan Gardner. Mr. Flyvbjerg sets up a database of over 16, 000 projects and data analysis reveals that only 8.5% of the projects meet their initial estimates on cost and time, and 0.5% of them achieve what they set out to do on cost, time and benefits.
Over-optimistic time and cost estimates originate from both psychological and political perceptions: the reliance on intuition (直觉) rather than data, and a problem that Mr. Flyvbjerg calls “strategic misrepresentation”. This is when budgets are intentionally reduced in order to get things going. And once the projects are under way, they will not be stopped, because money spent on them will thus be wasted.
Mr. Flyvbjerg speaks highly of Pixar’s methodical approach to developing and testing films in great detail before they go into production. He also tells the story of how Frank Gehry’s well-developed architectural models helped ensure the success of the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao. Narrowing down the producing window of a project before it is actually carried out reduces the probability of unexpected events.
Big customized projects are particularly likely to run into trouble. However, the more a project can be divided into standardized processes, the better its prospects are. Projects run into problems for specific reasons as well as general ones: Britain’s trouble is not something that China has to worry about, for instance. But the iron law is that if you plan strictly and standardize where possible, you are less likely to dig yourself into a hole.
28．How does the author introduce the topic of the passage
A．By making a contrast. B．By giving an explanation.
C．By presenting examples. D．By showing an experience.
29．What message does Bent Flyvbjerg’s data analysis convey
A．Projects’ success rates can be estimated.
B．Projects’ desired outcome can’t be achieved.
C．Most projects suffer overspending and delays.
D．Most projects lack comprehensive data analysis.
30．What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A．Failures in decision-making. B．Methods of reducing massive costs.
C．Strategies for getting work done. D．Reasons behind inaccurate estimates.
31．What is the key to preventing projects getting into trouble
A．Planning thoroughly in advance.
B．Analyzing specific and general reasons.
C．Focusing on efficiency of projects.
D．Drawing lessons from former experiences.
D
If you look at the dynamic “Global Temperatures” map on NASA’s website, you can see the historic temperature change over time across the planet as the timeline goes from 1880 to the modern day. By 2019, the entire planet is in red, orange, and yellow colors, indicating temperatures much higher than the historical average in every country and human inhabitance.
If the timeline went to 2023, the map would look even worse. That’s because the summer of 2023 was the hottest ever, according to ocean monitors. July was the hottest month in recorded history. Next July could be worse. Unless we do something quickly, we face dealing with more and more dangerous and expensive natural disasters in the future.
Forest fires sent smoke from Canada across the North American continent, causing New York City to have the worst air quality in its recorded history. Heavy rainstorms fell on Vermont and the Northeastern United States in just a couple of days in the middle of July, which exceeded the amount that area would usually receive in two months and caused extreme damage to homes and businesses. Around the same time, flash flooding in Bucks County, Pennsylvania — north of Philadelphia — killed nearly a dozen people.
Erich Fischer, a researcher specializing in climate studies at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, is concerned that natural disasters could get much worse in the future—and in ways we cannot predict. He called for a “strike for climate justice,” which actually took place on Sept. 15, 2023. “The strategy needs to be twofold (双重的) . We need to decrease carbon emissions as much as realistically possible. That is already happening with people using electric cars and other green technologies. At the same time, we also need to find ways to predict the risk of natural disasters ahead of time,” said Erich Fischer.
32．Why does the writer mention the data on NASA’s website in paragraph 1
A．To explain a concept. B．To introduce a topic.
C．To provide a solution. D．To make a prediction.
33．What does the third paragraph mainly tell us
A．The severity of natural disasters. B．The worst air quality in New York City.
C．The extreme damage by flash flooding. D．The cause of the forests fires in Canada.
34．What did Erich Fischer suggest to deal with the current situation
A．He advocated a twofold strategy.
B．He suggested forbidding carbon emissions.
C．He required people to use more electric cars.
D．He emphasized the awareness of climate changes.
35．What is the best title for the text
A．The Hottest Month in History B．Natural Disasters in the World
C．Extreme Weather Could Get Worse D．Green Technology Would be Needed

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。
On hearing the word vacation, most people react positively. Experienced travelers will argue that more important than where they go on vacation is who they go with. 36
Family travel is special and creates lasting memories, but it can also have some challenges. For one, the success of a trip often depends on the relationships that the family members have with one another. If two brothers do not get along at home, the chances are that they will fight during a vacation. 37 If a family is traveling by air, purchasing plane tickets for everyone can be very expensive.
38 Close friends often have similar personalities, so they generally get along with each other and fight less than family members might on a trip. Furthermore, if friends are close, even a terrible trip will not ruin the friendship. 39 All in all, traveling with friends can be a positive experience that results in a great vacation and, likely, a stronger friendship.
Finally, people can choose to travel alone. Solo travelers can be more flexible with transportation than those traveling in a large group. 40 And they also have better chances of getting a seat on buses or planes since they only need one. In addition, solo travelers are more likely to meet locals or other vacationers because they are more likely to want to talk with others.
A．They can change plans more easily.
B．Each person tends to cover his or her individual expenses.
C．Another potential problem of family travel is transportation.
D．Sightseeing and scheduling are not a problem for solo travelers.
E．In fact, friendships are often strengthened with the travel memories.
F．Traveling with friends can be an unforgettable experience for several reasons.
G．Vacations can be classified on the basis of who vacationers choose to travel with.

阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
The prevalence (普遍) of sweatshop (血汗工厂) labor depends largely on the definition being used. At its most 41 definition, the term refers to work in a confined space (small, surrounded by walls) that is extremely difficult or dangerous. Sweatshops are considered to be fairly common. If the definition being used is closely related to the commonly-held 42 of a factory with overworked, under-paid workers, sweatshop labor becomes less common than expected. 43 , they are still prevalent in third-world countries. According to the United States Government Accountability Office, a sweatshop is any workplace that breaks one or more state and federal 44 laws. Experts believe that roughly 50 percent of manufacturers— 45 in the clothing industry — employ sweatshop labor.
It can be 46 to figure out the exact number of sweatshops in a particular area. These workplaces usually, if not always, violate labor laws. Violations can include workers being paid less than minimum wage, child labor, and the severe lack of safety regulations. 47 , many of these locations tend to hide their identities as sweatshops through a number of different means. For example, they might bribe government officials.
Another factor that 48 the prevalence of sweatshop labor is the economic situation in the country or region. Many individuals choose to work in sweatshops simply because there are no better alternatives 49 livelihood (生计), even if the income they’re being given still cannot support their basic standards of living. This has led to a sharper increase in sweatshops in third-world economies. In these countries, there is a 50 advantage to working in a sweatshop rather than not working at all. 51 , the large number of people willing to work under such conditions causes employers to run more sweatshops.
Certain economists argue against the popular opinion that sweatshop labor should be considered 52 . Sweatshop supporters argue that the workplaces are a necessity for poor countries. Sweatshop workers actually earn more than average in those countries. Following this train of thought, sweatshops are looked upon as an economic stimulus (刺激物). Employers following this belief are 53 to increase the number of sweatshops in poorer countries.
However, other experts think that 54 labor standards in third-world countries creates a downward spiral (螺旋线). That is to say, people will be forced to accept working in increasingly worsening circumstances. The demand for work is significantly larger than the number of jobs that are available. It’s quite 55 for wages and employee rights to continue going downwards in response to such desperation. As a result of the economic circumstances in a given region, employers who follow this philosophy are quick to point out that their businesses do not fall under the definition of a sweatshop.
41．A．accurate B．general C．applicable D．specific
42．A．opinion B．condition C．image D．representation
43．A．However B．Moreover C．Therefore D．Otherwise
44．A．tax B．criminal C．civil D．labor
45．A．exclusively B．particularly C．broadly D．initially
46．A．meaningless B．significant C．awkward D．difficult
47．A．After all B．As a result C．Above all D．As usual

49．A．in spite of B．in addition to C．in terms of D．in return for
50．A．comparative B．competitive C．complicated D．potential
51．A．By contrast B．In turn C．All in all D．Last but not least

When we were finally dismissed from the last class of the day, the students streamed out of the classrooms. It was another boring day after school. I dragged my feet home as I sighed. Yet another uneventful day, I thought. Little did I know that the day would take a turn for the worse.
The lift lobby (电梯间) of my flat was old and dirty. The walls, which were painted white, had been dirtied over many years. I reached my flat’s lobby, and pressed the lift button and went in. Just then, Mrs Lim, my elderly neighbour, hobbled (蹒跚) in. She looked ancient with tissue paper white hair, wearing a faded old-fashioned dress. I held the lift door open, flashing a friendly smile, and politely greeted her. I asked her how she felt that day and pressed the buttons. She thanked me for being so polite, then we were silent for the rest of the ride.
The lift fell down increasingly fast. There were loud clanking sounds here and there while the lift grew slower and slower. My heart beat hard and fast as my hands turned cold and wet with sweat. Unfortunately, the lift came to an abrupt stop at the fifth floor. I pressed the buttons hard several times, but it was of no help. The lights on the buttons had gone out. It soon dawned on me that we were trapped. An icy fear crept up my spine. Mrs Lim was hysterical (歇斯底里).
Paragraph 1:“We will never get out!” she cried with her face pale.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: Bang! My hopes were lifted when I heard the firefighters on the other side of the lift door.

What spring means to me
Spring, a season of renewal and growth, has always held a special place in my heart.
As the weather warms up and the snow melts away, nature comes alive once again, filling me with hope and energy. Spring also reminds me of the importance of cherishing the present moment. The beauty and joy of spring are fleeting, and if we don’t take the time to appreciate them, they will be gone before we know it.
Spring means more to me than just the physical changes in the environment. It marks the beginning of a new semester, symbolizing a fresh start and new opportunities. Representing a spiritual awakening, spring is a time to reflect on the past and look forward to the future.
In conclusion, spring means hope, renewal and growth to me. Not only is it a time to celebrate the beauty and wonder of nature, but it also inspires me to embrace the opportunities that come with a new season.

Para 1:“We will never get out!” she cried with her face pale. I tried my very best to comfort her, telling her that everything would be all right and that we needed to find out how to get out safely. Mrs Lim began having trouble breathing, and I immediately helped her sit down and loosened her collar. “Help!” I screamed at the top of my lungs, trying to get someone’s attention. A wave of despair washed over me. I felt like we could never get out. In one last effort, I tried banging on the doors. The next few minutes felt like hours as we waited in complete silence.
Para 2: Bang! My hopes were lifted when I heard the firefighters on the other side of the lift door. Help was finally here! The brave firefighters hit the door open using their tools. It felt like a hundred pound weight was lifted off me, and Mrs Lim thanked the heavens that someone had come to our rescue. I made a sigh of relief when the doors were finally opened and all this drama was over. The firefighters praised me for helping Mrs Lim. I returned their praise with gratitude and Mrs Lim thanked me and even gave me a hug.
