After his golden thread noodles became popular,Li received many offers overseas.The restaurant he used to work for in Beijing also wanted him back with a handsome salary.But he decided to stay in his hometown and develop the native Salt Gang’s dishes.“From my experience of working in large cities,most customers prefer genuine Sichuan snack,” said Li.

A short cooking video posted by a netizen on the Internet has recently become a popular hit on the site.Bearing the tag “Chinese food”,the video not only showed off the chef’s superb skills in making Chinese dishes,but it also got netizens abroad wanting to get a taste of China’s unique food culture.
Although the video was nothing master-level,just a rather standard homemade fried potato dish,it received more than 200,000 likes after only three days of posting.In addition to praising the chef,commentators wondered why such a simple Chinese dish could look like a fancy cuisine that had been made through tons of effort.“Even the most basic Chinese dish needs to have three elements: colour,smell and taste.For example,colour not only requires a chef to have sharp eyes,but also valuable experience,” said Wang,an experienced Chinese chef in Guangzhou.
Chinese cooking is not the only type of content covered by the tag.Other popular videos under the tag include “odd food” challenges,traditional Chinese dishes and Chinese snack tasting,the latter of which has become particularly popular among young omnivore vloggers (video bloggers) living in a world of continually expanding cultural globalisation.
“I have been a fan of Chinese food ever since my Chinese friend cooked me di san xian at university.I was surprised by the dish’s taste and its look,which was very different from my home food,but felt it was very familiar to me because I noticed we share similar cooking skills,” said Bianca,an Italian Asian food fan.
“I started my channel by recording my roommate tasting my cooking.These videos got likes and comments gradually.Seeing some people commenting in German or English and saying ‘I want to try it’,I felt these videos can narrow the gap between the two cultures,” said Mr Bear,a vlogger who promotes Chinese cooking.
(　　)5.What does the underlined word “omnivore” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A.People eating meat.
B.People eating diverse food.
C.People eating strange food.
D.People eating vegetables.
(　　)6.How does Bianca find Chinese food

B.Expensive and delicious.
C.Similar and disconnected.
D.Special and familiar.
(　　)7.What do we know about Mr Bear from the last paragraph
A.He is an expert determined to become a Chinese chef.
B.The majority of his fans tasted the food he cooked.
C.His videos make a difference to cultural communication.
D.His roommate encouraged him to cook Chinese food.
(　　)8.What does the passage mainly talk about
A.Chinese cooking has become popular among young people.
B.Advanced technology plays a great part in modern society.
C.Online videos can make young people internationally famous.
D.Master-level Chinese dishes are attracting more foreign fans.
语篇导读:本文是新闻报道。文章主要介绍了中国烹饪在国内和国外的年轻人中很受欢迎的事情。

7.C　推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句可知,Mr Bear的视频让外国人了解了中国美食,推广了中国烹饪,缩小了两种文化之间的差距,由此可知,通过最后一段我们了解到Mr Bear的视频对文化交流产生了影响。故选C。
8.A　主旨大意题。通读文章,结合第三段内容可知,本文通过中国菜的烹饪视频在网络上受到欢迎的例子告诉我们,中国烹饪在年轻人中很受欢迎。故选A。
C
Humans have been living and working on the space station for over 20 years.Their meals are packaged,though sometimes astronauts receive fresh treats from resupply missions.The longer that packaged food is stored,the more it loses nutrients like vitamin C and vitamin K.
Astronauts have successfully grown 10 different crops on the space station since 2015 and had the chance to sample (品尝) each one.The International Space Station hosted a party for astronauts as they celebrated the harvest of the first chili peppers (辣椒) grown in space.The crew finally had a chance to taste the peppers after initially kicking off the plant experiment on the space station in July.
Plant Habitat-04 is one of the most complex plant experiments on the orbiting laboratory to date because peppers take much longer to grow than the previous experiment plants.After growing for four months,the peppers were finally harvested.
Peppers provide a great source of vitamin C,as well as other key nutrients.Pepper plants self-pollinate (自花授粉),so they are easy to grow,and they are a pick-and-eat crop that doesn’t have to be cooked.They are also safe to eat raw.
A side effect of life in zero gravity is that astronauts often lose some of their taste and smell,so spicy or well-seasoned foods are a favourite.Adding fresh greens or peppers to the menu allows astronauts to liven up their regular meals.But growing and tending to the plants can also produce other benefits.
Astronauts have described the joy from seeing — as well as smelling and caring for — leafy green plants on the space station that remind them of Earth.
“Growing colourful vegetables in space can have long-term benefits for physical and psychological health,” said Matt Romeyn,principal investigator for the experiment.“We are discovering that growing plants and vegetables with colours and smells helps to improve astronauts’ well-being.”
(　　)9.How is the food astronauts eat on the space station
A.Always fresh.
B.Lack of nutrients.
C.Never tasty.
D.Full of vitamins.
(　　)10.What makes Plant Habitat-04 one of the most complex plant experiments
A.The technology.
B.Growing process.
C.The varieties of plants.
D.Growing time required.
(　　)11.Which is the most probable reason for adding peppers to food for astronauts
A.Peppers are delicious.
B.Peppers can improve memory.
C.Peppers help prevent diseases.
D.Peppers can restore appetite.
(　　)12.Which of the following could be the best title for the text
A.The Fun of Growing Chili Peppers in Space
B.The Agricultural Goal in the Space Mission
C.The First Chili Peppers Grown in Space
D.The Chili Peppers Used in the Space Mission
语篇导读:本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了航天员们在空间站首次进行辣椒种植试验的相关情况。
答案及剖析:
9.B　推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句可知,包装食品放的时间越长,它就会损失越多的营养素。因此可推知,空间站航天员吃的食物缺少营养素。故选B。
10.D　细节理解题。根据第三段第一句可知,Plant Habitat-04是最复杂的植物试验之一,因为辣椒的生长周期比其他之前做过试验的植物要长很多。故选D。
11.D　推理判断题。根据第五段第一、第二句可知,零重力环境的一个副作用是航天员们会失去一部分味觉和嗅觉,因此把辣椒添加到食物中可以让航天员恢复食欲。故选D。
12.C　标题归纳题。通读全文,结合第二段第二句可知,文章主要介绍了航天员们在空间站首次进行辣椒种植试验的相关情况。C项适合作为本文标题。故选C。
Ⅱ.七选五
A Simple Guide to a Healthy Diet
Here are the healthy foods you should eat more and the unhealthy ones you should eat less.
Eat more nuts and seeds.They have an incredibly powerful mixture of healthy fats,fiber and other important nutrients.1.　　　.For example,they have a wide range of beneficial effects on your livers and on your brain functions as you age.Regularly eating a proper amount of nuts and seeds can also help you stop weight gain.
Eat more fruit and vegetables.It should come as no surprise.And they don’t have to be fresh to be healthy.2.　　　.If you can get canned fruit or vegetables that don’t have a lot of salt or sugar,that’s fine,too.
3.　　　.There’s about 400% more salt in processed meat than in unprocessed one.The most obvious problem with too much salt is that it raises your blood pressure,which can lead to heart attacks.But if you really love it,you can wash it off with tap water to get rid of the extra salt before it is cooked.
Stay away from sugary drinks.4.　　　.In particular,such sweet drinks are linked to a much higher risk of obesity (肥胖症) and heart attacks.
In short,healthy eating can be easy if you follow this simple rule:5.　　　.

2.E　设空处承上启下,说明冷冻的水果和蔬菜也是可以的,E项中的“frozen fruit or vegetables”和上文中的“don’t have to be fresh”对应。故选E。
3.B　设空处为段落主题句。根据下文“There’s about 400% more salt in processed meat than in unprocessed one.”可知,本段主要是讲加工过的肉类中盐含量过高的问题。B项符合语境。故选B。
4.G　根据上文“Stay away from sugary drinks.”可知,本段主要讲述的是要注意含糖饮料的问题,G项中的“Liquid sugar from soda and energy drinks”和上文中的“sugary drinks”对应。故选G。
5.F　此处位于文章的末尾,是对全文内容进行总结。F项符合语境。故选F。

语篇导读:本文是记叙文。文章作者主要讲述了自己在四川吃火锅的经历。
答案及剖析:
1.had poured　考查动词的时态。分析句子可知,pour的动作发生在动词entered之前,应用过去完成时态。故填had poured。
2.whose　考查定语从句。分析句子可知,设空处引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词menu,其与characters是所属关系,关系词替代先行词在从句中作定语,应用关系代词whose。故填whose。
