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. 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 with mushroom 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 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, 58 minutes 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 and motivates 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.
4. What does the first paragraph mainly 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.
5. What does Barnes try to convey in the second paragraph
A. She benefits a lot from running. B. She has been mentally cured.
C. She has run a lot of marathons in her life. D. She wants to make friends through running.
6. What do we know about Barnes’ participation in the NYC Marathon
A. She highly treasured the experience. B. She finished it with the best record.
C. She completed it without difficulty. D. She considered it the most challenging.
7. Which of the following can best describe Barnes
A. Demanding but patient. B. Stubborn but friendly.
C. Warm-hearted and optimistic. D. Strong-willed and ambitious.

This is the last Christmas that Faye and Matthew have spent in their house, which has already been sold. Faye and Matthew Gooding and their five young sons appear to have perfect lives. For the couple themselves, however, this “materially perfect world” was lacking in something—so now they are giving up all their possessions to travel around the world with their children. Most of their belongings have been given to their neighbors. Faye said, “It is a relief to get rid of so many possessions. Thankfully, our parents understand and support us.”
“I hesitated for a while because some friends think Faye and I are mad to give up so much. When we told the older boys, they were so excited that they were going to have so much time as a family. It made me realize the amount of toys or material possessions can’t replace time spent with our children. They’ve had to give away so many toys, bikes and books. My wife Faye was so determined to keep to our plan,” said Matthew.
They will leave this month and plan to start their travels in Sweden where they have friends. Faye said, “My older boys plot where we go next but we hope to see Europe and over two years travel as far as Japan, America, Bali and Thailand. We don’t plan to hire any tour guides. We just depend on a compass and local people to move in the right direction.”
Faye, who posts on Instagram as a mother of five boys, added, “It is a risk because we are giving up so much. I, however, even plan to quit my job after the travel. We can’t wait to spend more time with our sons without the stresses of everyday routines. We don’t know what will happen, but we do know if we didn’t do this we would always regret it.”
8. How will Faye and Matthew cover the travel costs
A. By selling their house. B. By doing part-time jobs.
C. By asking parents for help. D. By borrowing from neighbors.
9. What is Faye’s attitude towards traveling around the world
A. Worried B. Excited C. Uncertain D. Firm
10. Who will decide where the family will travel
A. Faye B. Matthew C. The children D. The tour guide
11. From which is the text probably taken
A. A travel guidebook B. A life journal C. A paper D. A diary
D

第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
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。
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.
___16___ 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.
·___17___
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). ___18___ 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. ___19___
·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. ___20___ 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 30 minutes 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 here might not work there.
F. The best doesn’t necessarily mean the fastest.
G. Besides, they are a bit behind the real traffic time.

After plates were filled, I announced a new dinnertime practice. All family members must be prepared to share a story of their day. My middle school sons ___21___ their eyes when hearing this.
Although it was a ___22___ due to busy life, my family tried to make it a ___23___ to have dinner together. However, our dinner conversations gradually became easy to ___24___, because it’s all about my sons’ study. We needed something more ___25___.
At first, my boys just ___26___ took part. They didn’t make a preparation. It was ___27___: when it was their turn, they organized their stories on the fly. But I ___28___ this practice, attempting to interest them with my interesting topics. Luckily, it ___29___. One night my older son asked, “Can I go first I have a story.” I couldn’t ___30___ what he told all those years ago, but it kick-started a ___31___ dinner conversation full of laughter. Instead of worrying about parental grilling (盘问), my boys ___32___.
In a recent call from my sons who work in another city now, I asked, “Which you ___33___ best, in terms of my parenting hacks (育儿技巧) ” Their ___34___ was immediate — our dinner story tradition. They are still willing to talk to me now, and there is nothing better than listening to them chatting. And, if they have kids someday, this tradition will ___35___, I’m guessing.

47. 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。
It was the day of the big cross-country run. Students from seven different primary schools in and around the small town were warming up and walking the route(路线)through thick evergreen forest.
I looked around and finally spotted David who was standing by himself off to the side by a fence. He was small for ten years old. His usual big toothy smile was absent today. I walked over and asked him why he wasn’t with the other children. He hesitated and then said he had decided not to run.
What was wrong He had worked so hard for this event!
I quickly searched the crowd for the school’s coach and asked him what had happened. “I was afraid that kids from other schools would laugh at him,” he explained uncomfortably. “I gave him the choice to run or not, and let him decide.”
I bit back my frustration(懊恼). I knew the coach meant well—he thought he was doing the right thing. After making sure that David could run if he wanted, I turned to find him coming towards me, his small body rocking from side to side as he swung his feet forward.
David had a brain disease which prevented him from walking or running like other children, but at school his classmates thought of him as a regular kid. He always participated to the best of his ability in whatever they were doing. That was why none of the children thought it unusual that David had decided to join the cross-country team. It just took him longer—that’s all. David had not missed a single practice, and although he always finished his run long after the other children, he did always finish. As a special education teacher at the school, I was familiar with the challenges David faced and was proud of his strong determination.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答.
We sat down next to each other, but David wouldn’t look at me.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I watched as David moved up to the starting line with the other runners.

【答案】We sat down next to each other, but David wouldn’t look at me. I said gently and quietly, “No one can change your mind, except yourself. If you desire to challenge yourself, there is nothing to do with others’ thoughts.” He sat still with a deep breath. “You have a full preparation before this event, which is the most important reason why you show up here”, I added with a sincere tone. Hearing my words, David turned to me tremblingly with tears spilling out of his eyes and expressed he had made a firm determination to finish the cross-country run. His coach heard what David said and gave me a look—the kind that was more determined than anyone else’s.
I watched as David moved up to the starting line with the other runners. The race started. It seemed that the runway was extremely long for young children, not to mention a child with a brain disease. David insisted on running as if he had forgotten all his weaknesses, though he was tripped over within the a few kilometers. It didn’t take long before he picked himself up again and continued his mission. Classmates all appeared on the racing track, cheering for him. “Come on! You can make it! We are proud of you!” they shouted enthusiastically. To everyone’s joy, he reached the final line and ranked the 20th. It was no more important whether he won the first place or not. It was his brave heart and strong faith that could make something unusual happen finally.
