The Art of Sushi Making
Sushi is more than just raw fish and rice—it's a centuries-old Japanese art form requiring years of practice.
Traditional sushi chefs train for at least five years before they're allowed to prepare the rice, considered the most important element. The rice must be cooked to perfect stickiness and seasoned with exactly the right amount of vinegar, sugar, and salt.
There are many types of sushi. Nigiri is hand-formed rice topped with raw fish, while maki is rice and fillings wrapped in seaweed. Sashimi, often confused with sushi, is simply thin slices of raw fish without rice.
Sushi preparation emphasizes balance—of flavors, textures, and colors. A well-made sushi platter looks as beautiful as it tastes. Chefs use seasonal ingredients, believing food should reflect the time of year.
In Japan, eating sushi is also about etiquette. It's polite to eat nigiri in one bite and to dip it fish-side down in soy sauce to avoid soaking the rice.
Today, sushi has become popular worldwide, with each country adding its own twist. But the core principles—precision, balance, and respect for ingredients—remain unchanged.
26．What's considered the most important element in sushi
A．Raw fish. B．Seaweed. C．Rice. D．Soy sauce.
27．How long do traditional sushi chefs train before preparing rice
A．At least one year. B．At least five years.
C．At least ten years. D．At least fifteen years.
28．What's the difference between nigiri and sashimi
A．Nigiri includes rice; sashimi doesn't.
B．Sashimi is wrapped in seaweed; nigiri isn't.
C．Nigiri is cooked; sashimi is raw.
D．Sashimi is a type of maki; nigiri isn't.
29．Why do sushi chefs use seasonal ingredients
A．To make the sushi cheaper.
B．To reflect the time of year.
C．To make it easier to prepare.
D．To follow international trends.
30．What's considered polite when eating nigiri
A．Cutting it into small pieces.
B．Soaking the rice in soy sauce.
C．Eating it in one bite.
D．Adding extra wasabi.
B
Soy sauce was invented by the Chinese over 2,000 years ago and is still used in Chinese cooking every day. Nowadays people don't give much thought to the traditional way of making soy sauce, as they mostly buy the soy sauce produced in modern chemical methods.
Little known to the outside world, a century-old factory in Xianshi town, Luzhou city, Sichuan, still uses the natural method to produce soy sauce. It simply puts the soybean mixture in big jars under the sun. It takes up to three years to complete. Since 1893, the company has been making soy sauce for more than 130 years.
Water, salt and soybeans are needed to make soy sauce. Natural bacteria (菌群) and old jars make it taste better. The process (工序) allows the beans to naturally produce oil, making a full taste. It is the most special thing of this soy sauce. The factory can only produce about 2,000 jars of soy sauce every year. Also, it takes over ten times longer to finish the whole process in this traditional way. As a result, the factory has faced many ups and downs.
Luckily, the traditional method of making soy sauce in this factory became an intangible cultural heritage (非物质文化遗产) in Sichuan province in 2007, and was an intangible cultural heritage of China in 2014. "I had the idea to give it up, but I usually said to myself that good things never come easy, just like our soy sauce." the factory owner said.
31．Why do people seldom think of the natural way of soy sauce making now
A．Because they think soy sauce is unhealthy.
B．Because they don't like the taste of soy sauce.
C．Because they seldom use soy sauce when cooking.
D．Because they mostly buy soy sauce made in modern ways.
32．What can we know about the factory in Paragraph 2
A．It is a famous factory in China.
B．It has a history of over a century.
C．It took up to 3 years to build the factory.
D．It makes soy sauce with new technology.
33．What does "It" refer to in Paragraph 3
A．The low price. B．The long history.
C．The good taste. D．The short process.
34．What can we learn from the factory owner's words
A．Never give up. B．Knowledge is power.
C．Seeing is believing. D．Practice makes perfect.
35．What is the main idea of this passage
A．The steps of making soy sauce.
B．Good things to add while cooking.
C．Skills of making modern soy sauce.
D．A traditional way to make soy sauce.

57．【答案】My Favourite Dish
My favourite dish is dumplings. They are a traditional Chinese food that I love very much.
Dumplings are made with flour, meat (usually pork or beef), and vegetables like cabbage or carrots. Sometimes people add shrimp for extra flavor. The filling is wrapped in thin dough and boiled or steamed.
They taste delicious—soft outside and juicy inside. The flavor depends on the filling, but they are usually savory with a little salt and pepper.
I like dumplings because my family makes them together during festivals. It's a happy time when we talk and laugh while wrapping. Eating dumplings reminds me of family love and warm memories.
