The Best Restaurants in Chicago
Summer has arrived and where to eat in Chicago This collection of Chicago ’ s
best restaurants provides answers to the classic question.
Luella ’ s Southern Kitchen TEL (773) 961-8196
This restaurant serves some of the city ’ s best Southern food, including shrimp,
fried chicken and waffles. This restaurant on the North Side is also a popular brunch
destination. It ’ s a casual spot with counter ordering, but it brings a serious menu
where everyone can find something hearty.
Community Tavern TEL (773) 283-6080
Nowadays, the restaurant has expanded its menu away from its origins as a
neighborhood steakhouse (牛排馆). But fortunately, the neighborhood aspect remains.
The bar program is rich, and kids under 12 eat free on certain days. The menu keeps
innovating, which isn ’ t a bad thing. For example, there ’ s a section of Asian-style
dumplings, including one stuffed withmushroom butter.
Smoque BBQ TEL (773) 545-7427
With two smokers to prepare St. Louis-style roast meat, this destination in the
Northwest Side neighborhood of Irving Park delivers barbecue in the styles of Kansas
City and Memphis. During the pandemic, Barry Sorkin, the owner, expanded takeout
and outdoor dining options, including a patio (平台) in the former parking lot.
Pat ’ s Pizza TEL (773) 248-0168
Chicago thin-crust pizza is having a moment, with the city ’ s pizza-makers eager
to protest the convention that here only serves thick-crust pizza. Pat ’ s Pizza has a
storied history of popularizing thin-crust pizza. This family-owned spot proudly makes
some of the crispiest, thinnest pizzas around. Pat ’ s uses its own sausage, which also
helps set its flavor apart. Pizzas are available for takeout, delivery, patio, and indoor
dining.

Over the last 15 years, Lee Anne Barnes has gone from a couch potato to a
marathoner. The Mississippi teacher said she ’ s lost about 150 pounds since 2008, and
has fulfilled a longtime dream — to run and finish the New York City (NYC)
Marathon. “ It was a dream that came true. I ’ ve been wanting to do it for 12 years,”
Barnes said. Barnes has come a long way over the past decade. At one point, she
weighed nearly 300 pounds. “ I did have a big setback around 2018, but I got myself
together and persevered (坚持不懈) and got with it again,” she said.
Running has been an essential part for Barnes. She has so far run many half
marathons and four full marathons. “ I can say my life is definitely better, not only
for getting mentally and physically healthy but for meeting incredible people along,
” Barnes said of her experience with running.
Although it wasn ’ t her first marathon, Barnes said the NYC Marathon was still a
challenging run. At mile 18, she said she started having “ sharp back spasms (痉挛)”,
but despite it all, she would not exchange the experience for anything. “ The goal
might not be exactly what you want, but you will persevere through it and try your
best to reach the end goal.” In the end, Barnes completed the NYC Marathon with a
final time of 6 hours, 58minutes and 53 seconds.
“ I credit everyone for my achievements. The crowds are simply amazing. And I ’ m
also inspired by the people I ’ ve encountered. Believe in yourself that you can do it,
and start with small achievable and measurable goals. Find something you like to do
and something that inspires andmotivates you,” she said.
Today, Barnes runs about five days a week and does both strength and cross
training. She plans on running again soon, setting her sights on a half marathon in
Arizona next February and running in all 50 states with her husband. She and her
husband also hope to run the NYC Marathon together next year.
24.What does the first paragraphmainly talk about
A. Barnes managed to lose weight via surgery.
B. Barnes has overcome setbacks in her life.
C. Barnes has fulfilled her long-standing wish.
D. Barnes has suffered a lot over the last 15 years.
25.What does Barnes try to convey in the second paragraph

{#{QQABYQ8h4wA4kAYACA77UUFoC0qQkJOTJQoGRVCcOAxCCRFABCA=}#}
A. She benefits a lot from running.
B. She has been mentally cured.
C. She has run a lot ofmarathons in her life.
D. She wants to make friends through running.
26.What do we know about Barnes ’ participation in the NYC Marathon

B. She finished it with the best record.
C. She completed it without difficulty.

If you ’ re asked to picture a successful leader, what do you see If you ’ re like
most people, you imagine somebody who is decisive and in control. Somebody who
seems to have little doubts about his or her actions.
But that kind of thinking has it backward. In more than two decades of research
into how leaders ’ decision-making has an impact on organizational success, I ’ ve
uncovered a surprising finding: The most effective leaders aren ’ t the ones who seem
to have all the answers, but those who question themselves. They are, in other words,
ambivalent.
Ambivalent leaders aren ’ t decisive in the eyes of others and are often regarded
as weak and too agreeable. But, our research reveals a different story. In one study of
164 consulting teams in Brazil, we found that leaders who were ambivalent discussed
with more team members, and more frequently, than leaders who were less
ambivalent. The openness of these leaders also inspired team members to seek more
information from others. At the end of the project, customers rated these teams
higher in their performance than teams led by decisivemanagers.
My most recent research, of students at a university, showed similar results. We
observed the students as they performed six-month class projects in teams. At the
end of the projects, team members and leaders answered survey questions about
each other. In the survey, team members were open to ambivalence in their leaders:
The more ambivalent these leaders seemed to be about decisions, the more their team
members felt the leaders were really good listeners. Ambivalent leaders, meanwhile,
reported that their team members had higher levels of curiosity and creativity than
leaders who were less ambivalent.
Ambivalent leaders challenge traditional views of what leaders look like. But
evidence shows, again and again, that their performance also eclipses decisive
leaders. Ambivalence is a driving force behind critical thinking and joint
decision-making.
28.What does the study of 164 teams suggest
A. Ambivalence reduces misunderstanding.
B. Teamwork determines a leader ’ s authority.

{#{QQABYQ8h4wA4kAYACA77UUFoC0qQkJOTJQoGRVCcOAxCCRFABCA=}#}
C. Customer ratings influence working atmosphere.
D. Leaders ’ openness encourages team interactions.
29. The author presents the research at the university in order to ________.
A. support the previous findings
B. compare varied research settings
C. test the researchmethods used earlier
D. discuss limitations of the former study
30.Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “ eclipses ”
A. Inspires B. Satisfies. C. Promotes. D. Outshines.
31.What is themain writing purpose of the text
A. To compare leaders of different styles.
B. To present a new idea about leadership.
C. To doubt standards of successful leaders.
D. To stress the role of personality in leadership.
D
It is not just the environment and the economy that are threatened by a warmer
climate, but also culture and traditions around the world. Researchers at Lund
University in Sweden have mapped what little is known about how climate change is
gradually destroying local knowledge and cultural heritage.
“We risk losing the memory of native people ’ s ways of life without this type of
documentation, ” says Guy Jackson at Lund University, one of the authors of a
literature study. One conclusion of the study is that cultural heritage is primarily seen
as something of material value, such as a historic building, and the loss is seen as a
potential future problem, even though there is evidence that it is already happening.
Focusing on material losses means that important traditions and knowledge
systems are overlooked. “ There are also many non-material losses that are valuable
for both individual identity and group identity,” says Guy Jackson.
The study shows a clear connection between loss of native cultural heritage and
changes in the natural environment. For example, songs and working methods change
when groups lose traditions linked to a physical location. One scientific article points
out that identity is closely linked to the environment, “ Inuit people (因纽特人 ) in
Canada are people of sea ice. If there is no more sea ice, how can they be people of
sea ice ”
Loss of traditions and cultural heritage can make it more difficult to deal with climate
change, andweaken social togetherness, as people lose touchwith traditional ways of life.
It also raises the question whether we can expect native people to protect and preserve
rainforests and other ecosystems.
The researchers hope that the literature study can lead to more targeted
research. They want to see a larger focus on how to handle, minimize and tackle future
losses. “ Science should contribute by developing practical solutions and strategies
that help with adaptation to the losses that have already happened, ” Guy Jackson
concludes.

A. It is seriously overestimated by scientists.
B. It has brought great damage to Canadians.
C. It has transformed global workingmethods.
D. It is closely related to environmental changes.

余选项。
Whether you ’ re heading out for a day trip or a quick weekend getaway (短期休
假), we will share some travel tips in this guide to help you make your experience more
enjoyable.
·Think about how you want to travel.
36 Sometimes it means the most enjoyable. Too much consideration on short
journeys is not worth it. If you ’ ve got a preference for a certain means of transport, it
’ s often worth traveling that way for short distances, even if it ends up taking you a
little longer.
· 37
Some cities, like NYC, are quite walkable. Others simply aren ’ t. In Amsterdam, the
best way to get about is by bike — whether you use the city ’ s shared bikes or rent
one from your hotel. In Southeast Asia, you ’ d better rent a scooter (小型摩托车 ).
38 So don ’ t bother to find the so-called one-size-fits-all answer.
·Try all the available options.
If you ’ re not sure about the best means of transport for you, experience them all.
See what catching the subway is like, try cycling or riding the bus. It ’ s hard to predict
what will be the most convenient. LA has a low-cost public transport network but
car-pooling is cheaper, and scooters are the best for getting around West Hollywood.
39
7
{#{QQABYQ8h4wA4kAYACA77UUFoC0qQkJOTJQoGRVCcOAxCCRFABCA=}#}
·Don ’ t rely on map apps.
Map apps are useful, but they don ’ t take into account the possibility of packed
subways, queues for taxis and the heat of a train in summer. 40 So don ’ t assume
something is a 30-minute drive just because a map app says so — by the time you ’
ve driven halfway, you might still have another 30minutes to go.
A. Don ’ t limit your choices.
B. It takes time to find the best.
C. Study the city you will travel to.
D. You won ’ t know until you try them all.
E.What works heremight not work there.
F. The best doesn ’ t necessarily mean the fastest.
G. Besides, they are a bit behind the real traffic time.

Cookies for Forgiveness
Last week, a U-Haul truck pulled up across the street, and a college student
unloaded a Ping-Pong table onto his front lawn. To most, it might seem harmless, but
to me, it was a trigger. In my town, a Ping-Pong table on a lawn isn ’ t just for games
— it ’ s a beer-pong table, a symbol of late-night noise and chaos. Years ago, my
husband and I lived near the university, surrounded by students who turned beer
pong into a lifestyle. The thumping bass and laughter kept us awake night after night.
We eventually moved to a quieter neighborhood, at great expense, to escape it.
So, when I saw that table, memories of those sleepless nights flooded back. Anger
bubbled up inside me, hot and uncontrollable. I marched over, past the table, and
knocked on the student ’ s door. I demanded he remove it, expecting him to apologize.
Instead, he met my rage with defiance. “Who are you to tell me what to do ” he shot
back. His words only fueled my fury. I yelled things I didn ’ t mean, my voice sharp with
10
{#{QQABYQ8h4wA4kAYACA77UUFoC0qQkJOTJQoGRVCcOAxCCRFABCA=}#}
profanity (脏话). My husband, sensing trouble, pulled me away before things escalated
further.
The rest of the day, I seethed (强忍怒火). But by morning, shame replaced anger. I
shuddered as I replayed the confrontation in my mind. Why couldn ’ t I keep my cool
Why did I let something so trivial ignite me I ’ ve always struggled with anger — it
runs in my family — but I ’ ve worked hard to change. Therapy, meditation,
journaling — I ’ ve tried them all. Yet, there I was, yelling at a stranger over a
Ping-Pong table. I knew I had to make it right.
I turned to what I do best: baking. I pulled out a batch of frozen peanut butter
chocolate chunk cookie dough I ’ d made weeks earlier. The dough balls were my
secret weapon, ready to transform into warm, comforting cookies at a moment ’ s
notice. As the cookies baked, the house filled with their sweet, buttery aroma. I let
them cool, then arranged them on a plate,my hands trembling.
注意：
（1）续写词数应为 150词左右；
（2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Dear Jack,
Last Saturday witnessed a shocking feast of traditional Chinese culture in the
school gym. Almost all the students and teachers participated in it.
The splendid performance started with Li Bai ’ s poem, “ Invitation to Wine ” ,
recited by a student from Class One, Grade Two. Then came Beijing Opera. The
audience also appreciated fantastic folk dance, various songs, the qipao show and
cross talk, which impressedmemost.
All the performances were thought highly of. I hope you could come and
experience Chinese culture in person. I ’m sure you ’ ll be fascinated by it.
Yours,
Li Hua

I walked across the street, past the offending table, and knocked on the student ’
s door.When he opened it, I held out the plate, my other hand pressed to my chest. “
The person you met yesterday wasn ’ t me,” I said. “ At least, not the person I want to
be. I ’ m sorry. Will you forgive me ” He looked at the cookies, then at me. His face
softened. “ I ’ m sorry too,” he said. “ Can we start over ” I nodded, handing him the
plate.
As I walked home, I felt lighter, as if a weight had been lifted. The cookies had
done their job — not just as a peace offering, but as a reminder that even in
moments of anger, there ’ s always a way back to kindness. It wasn ’ t just an apology;

it was a step toward becoming the person I aspire to be. The Ping-Pong table still sat
on the lawn, but it no longer felt like a threat. Instead, it was a symbol of growth and
the power of a simple, heartfelt gesture.
