The 4 Best Restaurants in Manchester
London gets a lot of credit as England’s best city for food，but Manchester comes in a close second.The northern city has an expansive food scene with many different global cuisines packed into its many neighborhoods.Here are 4 of Manchester’s best restaurants.
Hawksmoor
If you like a good steak，immediately book a table at Hawksmoor.Hawksmoor is also known for its massive Sunday roast，available from lunchtime on Sundays，and it’s the sort of spot where you can go for a burger at the bar.Ask your server about the Shaky Pete’s Ginger Brew，a cocktail that is representative at Hawksmoor.
Yuzu
Yuzu is your best choice for good Japanese food in the city.It’s a Japanese tapas bar，which means Yuzu serves everything from sashimi to tempura to gyoza in a way that allows the guest to try it all.It’s open for lunch and dinner，and reservations(预订) are recommended.
Hispi
Head to South Manchester to discover Hispi，a casual restaurant serving some of the most delicious dishes in the city.The menu is familiar，with selections like smoked lamb and miso-glazed squash.There’s a special Sunday lunch menu serving two or three courses，and families are welcome thanks to a beautiful kids menu.Hispi is part of a popular group of restaurants，including Burnt Truffle and Sticky Walnut.Book in advance，if possible.
Mana
Mana has been Manchester’s first Michelin-starred restaurant since 1977，which is by reservation only.Everything is presented as a set menu with an optional wine pairing，but you get to make a few choices along the way.Go for the shorter lunch menu if you want to get the experience on a budget.
21．What is special about Yuzu

B．It offers Japanese food.
C．It serves the most delicious dishes.
D．It gives away a wine pairing.
22．Why is Hispi a suitable place for families to eat in

According to the United Nations,60 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions come directly from the way that we currently produce our electricity.71 percent of the earth is covered in water yet only around 1.5 percent of the global energy is produced through wave power.That’s what inspired Eco Wave Power CEO，Inna Braverman to take on the challenge.
Two weeks after she was born in Ukraine in 1986，the Chernobyl nuclear disaster occurred and she got hurt，suffering from breathing arrest and a clinical death.But thanks to her mother，who was a nurse，she was saved.Growing up，she felt it her purpose to find green and sustainable energy.
Inna found that previous wave energy developers had placed their technology offshore，contributing to huge installation and maintenance costs，incredibly vulnerable stations in storms，and consequently lack of funding.Her innovative version，however，is to install the power station on land.The only part of the system in the water is the floaters which bob up and down with the waves.These push compressed air into a tank where the energy is stored to produce electricity.The floaters are attached to existing man-made structures such as banks，piers，and breakwaters.
The simplicity of the design makes it cheaper to install and maintain as well as being better protected from rough weather and therefore，insurable.Once a commercial plant producing 20 megawatts or more(enough for 20,000 homes) is in place，the unit cost significantly reduces.“Our price of energy decreases to about $0.05 US per kilowatt hour，which is comparable to the prices of onshore wind，” Inna explains.
A pilot station was installed in Gibraltar in 2016.It was the first wave energy system to be connected to the grid in Europe.More tests of the wave energy system have been arranged in different countries and regions.
24．What do we know from the first two paragraphs
A．Inna was inspired by a UN program to focus on green energy.
B．Inna’s early experience enabled her to explore green energy solutions.
C．Inna came up with the idea of green energy thanks to her mother.
D．Green and sustainable energy solutions are greatly influenced by the nuclear disaster.
25．What’s the purpose of the author to write paragraph 3
A．To demonstrate the environmental impact of wave energy.
B．To highlight Inna Braverman’s innovative approach to wave energy.
C．To outline the challenges faced by other wave energy developers.
D．To provide information about wave energy production around the world.
26．How is Inna Braverman’s approach to wave energy different from previous ones
A．Its maintenance on the sea floor.
B．Its dependence on government funding.
C．Its installation on land.
D．Its exclusive focus on offshore technology.
27．Which of the following is the best title for the text
A．Eco Wave Power: Pioneer in Sustainable Energy
B．Chernobyl Survivor’s Vision: Endless Power for the Future
C．Land-based Wave Power: Innovation for Green Electricity
D．Onshore Energy: Eco Wave Power’s Fight Against Gas Emissions

Stressed at work and feeling your blood pressure rise？People all over the world are told by their doctors to try a low-sodium(钠) diet to treat high blood pressure or other diseases，but there’s no denying that salt makes food taste good.Fortunately，Japanese researchers at Tokyo’s Meiji University and the manufacturer Kirin have developed high-tech chopsticks that enhance salty tastes，potentially helping those who need to reduce sodium in their diets.
These wired-up chopsticks are actually part of a device that the researchers say can enhance the salty flavor of low-sodium foods.And when they were tested on participants for the first time，results showed that the high-tech chopsticks increase perceived(察觉到) saltiness in foods by about 1.5 times.
According to the research team，the basic principle is that the extra salty flavor is perceived due to extremely weak electric currents conveyed directly into the mouth through the tip of one of the chopsticks.Scientists have apparently been using this kind of weak electricity to play with flavors in the lab for years，but these chopsticks in particular are set to adjust the activity of ions(离子) in sodium chloride(table salt)，which enhances salty flavor.
And do these chopsticks work as expected？To verify the effect of the new chopsticks，the researchers conducted an experiment on a total of 36 participants aged 40 to 65，all of whom were eating a low-sodium diet.If nothing else，one thing was clear：participants using the chopsticks tasted more salt than they did without.Results show that they even thought that low-sodium food eaten with the high-tech chopsticks tasted saltier than regular food made with an average amount of sodium，and eaten with normal chopsticks.
The chopsticks aren’t on store shelves quite yet，but with promising results，people around the world who are unhappily devoted to a low-sodium diet might just be excited for any updates to come!
28．What is the main function of the future high-tech chopsticks
A．To treat blood pressure.
B．To test how salty a dish is.
C．To increase the saltiness of food.
D．To help reduce salt intake.
29．How do the high-tech chopsticks work
A．By sending warning information to the brain.
B．By changing the saltiness of food with electric shocks.
C．By using electricity to transport ions between chopsticks.
D．By tricking our brains into tasting extra salt.
30．What does the underlined word “verify” in paragraph 4 mean
A．Confirm. B．Improve.
C．Change. D．Strengthen.
31．What is the writer’s attitude toward the future of the chopsticks
A．Doubtful. B．Optimistic.
C．Uncertain. D．Pessimistic.

Engineering researchers at the University of Waterloo are successfully using a robot to help keep children with learning disabilities focused on their work.This was one of the key results in a new study that also found both the youngsters and their instructors valued the positive classroom contributions made by the robot.
“Overall，the findings demonstrate that the robot has a positive effect on students，” said Dr Kerstin Dautenhahn，a professor of electrical and computer engineering.
Educators have in recent years explored the use of social robots to help students learn，but most often，their research has focused on children with autism(孤独症)．As a result，little work has been done on the use of socially assistive robots for students with learning disabilities.
Along with two other Waterloo engineering researchers and three experts from the Learning Disabilities Society in Vancouver，Dautenhahn decided to change this，conducting a series of tests with a small humanoid(类人的) robot called QTrobot.
Dautenhahn said the robot’s ability to perform gestures using its head and hands，accompanied by its speech and facial features，makes it very suitable for children with learning disabilities.
Building on promising earlier research，the researchers divided 16 students with learning disabilities into two groups.In one group，students worked one-on-one with an instructor only.In the other group，the students worked one-on-one with an instructor and a QTrobot.In the latter group，the instructor used a tablet to direct the robot，which then autonomously performed various activities using its speech and gestures.While the instructor controlled the sessions，the robot took over at certain times to lead the students.
Besides introducing the session，the robot set goals and provided self-regulating strategies，if necessary.If the learning process was getting off- track，the robot used strategies such as games，riddles and physical movements to redirect the students back to the task.
“Students who worked with the robot，” Dautenhahn said，“were generally more engaged with their tasks and could complete their tasks at a higher rate compared to the students who weren’t assisted by a robot.”
32．What can we know about Dautenhahn’s research
A．It seeks to provide a treatment for autism.
B．It attempts to replace teachers with robots in teaching.
C．It intends to educate students to be creative and productive.
D．It studies the effects of robots on students with learning disabilities.
33．What is the sixth paragraph mainly about
A．The role the robot played.
B．The outcomes of the two groups.
C．The process of the research.
D．The range of the participants involved.
34．How did the QTrobot help distracted students concentrate in class
A．It warned the students directly by speech.
B．It assigned tasks for the students to complete.
C．It informed the instructor to intervene in the learning process.
D．It attracted the students’ attention through interesting activities.
35．What does Dautenhahn’s research imply
A．Robots promote students’ academic performance greatly.
B．There is great potential for using robots in the education system.
C．Teachers are defeated by robots when it comes to motivating students.
D．Students are becoming more independent with the assistance of robots.

(2025·广东广州高二上期末)
Donald Watson was born in Yorkshire and spent much of his youth on his uncle’s farm.But rather than making him feel at ease with breeding animals for food，the realization that these “friendly creatures” ended up being killed horrified him. 36 Two decades later，with his wife and four friends，he coined the word “vegan” to define those who cut meat out of their diet.
Watson’s diet was filled mostly with nuts，apples，dried fruit，vegetables and lentils(小扁豆)． 37 Walking in the supermarkets in many Western countries，you will find a growing amount of space for diverse vegan food.
Nowadays vegans are no longer cooking their own vegetables and lentils. 38 The plant-based movement has put all this processed food into people’s diets.Take a look at the ingredients in the ever-increasing variety of products.They can seem more like junk，packed full of salt and ingredients such as “soya protein concentrate” that you wouldn’t find in meat.
39 Finding out is increasingly important，due to the growing number of people avoiding meat and dairy in their diet.So what do we—and don’t we know？If you are worried about health，there are three things to consider when you buy these products.You must be clear what’s in them，what’s not in them and what you are eating them for.
Donald Watson certainly lived a long life without dairy and meat.This apparently has proved the possibility of living well without consuming animal products.But if he had lived on industrially produced vegan food，it might have been a different story. 40
A．He continued breeding the animals.
B．He became a vegetarian in 1924，aged 14.
C．While his diet proved unhealthy，a different picture is appearing.
D．They’ve got vegan chicken nuggets，vegan burgers，and vegan sausages.
E．Today，being a vegan doesn’t automatically mean you’re eating a healthy diet.
F．These alternatives might be worse for our health than the meat they are replacing.
G．Fast forward to today，and Watson would have been astonished at the vegan food varieties.

It’s good to eat things at the correct time，when they’re 53 ，and as close as possible to where they were 54 .What Mario had 55 us was the taste of the Garfagnana.

Alessandro Vitale was born in Verona，Italy.As his parents were busy working，they were unable to care for his sister and him at the same time.Therefore，Alessandro grew up with his grandparents.
Alessandro’s grandmother was good at cooking.His grandfather used to take him out for fishing or to his garden in the town.Alessandro’s grandparents greatly influenced him，and he learned many things from them.At a young age，he was introduced to gardening，especially growing fruit and vegetables by his grandfather，and he learned great recipes from his grandmother.
Even though Alessandro got into gardening at a young age，he had to focus on school later.In 2015，he moved to London to work there and left gardening aside.Alessandro did several different jobs after getting there，but he liked none of them really.
One day after working in London for a few months，Alessandro and his roommate went to a supermarket and bought some vegetables.After returning home，they started cooking together.When cutting a red chilli(辣椒)，Alessandro saw its seeds.An idea occurred to him that he could grow food himself.He had little connection with nature then and thought the food grown by himself was much healthier.Moreover，he wanted to take up gardening in memory of his grandfather.But he had never expected his future gardening journey would greatly influence his life and career.
Alessandro planted these seeds in pots on his small balcony.In just a few weeks，Alessandro scaled up his garden and grew more plants.His whole space was filled with plants.He fell in love with gardening and did anything he could to make his garden thrive(旺盛)，such as reading various farming books to learn new technologies and skills.Besides gardening，he was also into zero-waste cooking.Thanks to his grandmother’s recipes，he could cook his garden produce in creative ways.

According to the United Nations,60 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions come directly from the way that we currently produce our electricity.71 percent of the earth is covered in water yet only around 1.5 percent of the global energy is produced through wave power.That’s what inspired Eco Wave Power CEO，Inna Braverman to take on the challenge.
Two weeks after she was born in Ukraine in 1986，the Chernobyl nuclear disaster occurred and she got hurt，suffering from breathing arrest and a clinical death.But thanks to her mother，who was a nurse，she was saved.Growing up，she felt it her purpose to find green and sustainable energy.
Inna found that previous wave energy developers had placed their technology offshore，contributing to huge installation and maintenance costs，incredibly vulnerable stations in storms，and consequently lack of funding.Her innovative version，however，is to install the power station on land.The only part of the system in the water is the floaters which bob up and down with the waves.These push compressed air into a tank where the energy is stored to produce electricity.The floaters are attached to existing man-made structures such as banks，piers，and breakwaters.
The simplicity of the design makes it cheaper to install and maintain as well as being better protected from rough weather and therefore，insurable.Once a commercial plant producing 20 megawatts or more(enough for 20,000 homes) is in place，the unit cost significantly reduces.“Our price of energy decreases to about $0.05 US per kilowatt hour，which is comparable to the prices of onshore wind，” Inna explains.
A pilot station was installed in Gibraltar in 2016.It was the first wave energy system to be connected to the grid in Europe.More tests of the wave energy system have been arranged in different countries and regions.

Stressed at work and feeling your blood pressure rise？People all over the world are told by their doctors to try a low-sodium(钠) diet to treat high blood pressure or other diseases，but there’s no denying that salt makes food taste good.Fortunately，Japanese researchers at Tokyo’s Meiji University and the manufacturer Kirin have developed high-tech chopsticks that enhance salty tastes，potentially helping those who need to reduce sodium in their diets.
These wired-up chopsticks are actually part of a device that the researchers say can enhance the salty flavor of low-sodium foods.And when they were tested on participants for the first time，results showed that the high-tech chopsticks increase perceived(察觉到) saltiness in foods by about 1.5 times.
According to the research team，the basic principle is that the extra salty flavor is perceived due to extremely weak electric currents conveyed directly into the mouth through the tip of one of the chopsticks.Scientists have apparently been using this kind of weak electricity to play with flavors in the lab for years，but these chopsticks in particular are set to adjust the activity of ions(离子) in sodium chloride(table salt)，which enhances salty flavor.
And do these chopsticks work as expected？To verify the effect of the new chopsticks，the researchers conducted an experiment on a total of 36 participants aged 40 to 65，all of whom were eating a low-sodium diet.If nothing else，one thing was clear：participants using the chopsticks tasted more salt than they did without.Results show that they even thought that low-sodium food eaten with the high-tech chopsticks tasted saltier than regular food made with an average amount of sodium，and eaten with normal chopsticks.
The chopsticks aren’t on store shelves quite yet，but with promising results，people around the world who are unhappily devoted to a low-sodium diet might just be excited for any updates to come!

Engineering researchers at the University of Waterloo are successfully using a robot to help keep children with learning disabilities focused on their work.This was one of the key results in a new study that also found both the youngsters and their instructors valued the positive classroom contributions made by the robot.
“Overall，the findings demonstrate that the robot has a positive effect on students，” said Dr Kerstin Dautenhahn，a professor of electrical and computer engineering.
Educators have in recent years explored the use of social robots to help students learn，but most often，their research has focused on children with autism(孤独症)．As a result，little work has been done on the use of socially assistive robots for students with learning disabilities.
Along with two other Waterloo engineering researchers and three experts from the Learning Disabilities Society in Vancouver，Dautenhahn decided to change this，conducting a series of tests with a small humanoid(类人的) robot called QTrobot.
Dautenhahn said the robot’s ability to perform gestures using its head and hands，accompanied by its speech and facial features，makes it very suitable for children with learning disabilities.
Building on promising earlier research，the researchers divided 16 students with learning disabilities into two groups.In one group，students worked one-on-one with an instructor only.In the other group，the students worked one-on-one with an instructor and a QTrobot.In the latter group，the instructor used a tablet to direct the robot，which then autonomously performed various activities using its speech and gestures.While the instructor controlled the sessions，the robot took over at certain times to lead the students.
Besides introducing the session，the robot set goals and provided self-regulating strategies，if necessary.If the learning process was getting off- track，the robot used strategies such as games，riddles and physical movements to redirect the students back to the task.
“Students who worked with the robot，” Dautenhahn said，“were generally more engaged with their tasks and could complete their tasks at a higher rate compared to the students who weren’t assisted by a robot.”
语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。滑铁卢大学的工程学研究人员成功地利用机器人帮助有学习障碍的儿童专注于他们的任务。
32．What can we know about Dautenhahn’s research
A．It seeks to provide a treatment for autism.
B．It attempts to replace teachers with robots in teaching.
C．It intends to educate students to be creative and productive.
D．It studies the effects of robots on students with learning disabilities.
答案　D
解析　推理判断题。根据第一段和第二段“‘Overall，the findings demonstrate that the robot has a positive effect on students，’ said Dr Kerstin Dautenhahn，a professor of electrical and computer engineering.”可知，电气和计算机工程学教授Kerstin Dautenhahn的研究是利用机器人帮助有学习障碍的儿童专注于他们的任务，且研究结果表明，机器人对学生有积极的影响。故选D。
33．What is the sixth paragraph mainly about
A．The role the robot played.
B．The outcomes of the two groups.
C．The process of the research.
D．The range of the participants involved.
答案　C
解析　段落大意题。根据第六段内容可知，这里主要讲述的是研究的过程。故选C。
34．How did the QTrobot help distracted students concentrate in class
A．It warned the students directly by speech.
B．It assigned tasks for the students to complete.
C．It informed the instructor to intervene in the learning process.
D．It attracted the students’ attention through interesting activities.
答案　D
解析　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“If the learning process was getting off-track，the robot used strategies such as games，riddles and physical movements to redirect the students back to the task.”可知，当学生在学习中注意力不集中时，机器人会通过有趣的活动来帮助他们集中注意力。故选D。
35．What does Dautenhahn’s research imply
A．Robots promote students’ academic performance greatly.
B．There is great potential for using robots in the education system.
C．Teachers are defeated by robots when it comes to motivating students.
D．Students are becoming more independent with the assistance of robots.
答案　B

(2025·广东广州高二上期末)
Donald Watson was born in Yorkshire and spent much of his youth on his uncle’s farm.But rather than making him feel at ease with breeding animals for food，the realization that these “friendly creatures” ended up being killed horrified him. 36 Two decades later，with his wife and four friends，he coined the word “vegan” to define those who cut meat out of their diet.
Watson’s diet was filled mostly with nuts，apples，dried fruit，vegetables and lentils(小扁豆)． 37 Walking in the supermarkets in many Western countries，you will find a growing amount of space for diverse vegan food.
Nowadays vegans are no longer cooking their own vegetables and lentils. 38 The plant-based movement has put all this processed food into people’s diets.Take a look at the ingredients in the ever-increasing variety of products.They can seem more like junk，packed full of salt and ingredients such as “soya protein concentrate” that you wouldn’t find in meat.
39 Finding out is increasingly important，due to the growing number of people avoiding meat and dairy in their diet.So what do we—and don’t we know？If you are worried about health，there are three things to consider when you buy these products.You must be clear what’s in them，what’s not in them and what you are eating them for.
Donald Watson certainly lived a long life without dairy and meat.This apparently has proved the possibility of living well without consuming animal products.But if he had lived on industrially produced vegan food，it might have been a different story. 40
A．He continued breeding the animals.
B．He became a vegetarian in 1924，aged 14.
C．While his diet proved unhealthy，a different picture is appearing.
D．They’ve got vegan chicken nuggets，vegan burgers，and vegan sausages.
E．Today，being a vegan doesn’t automatically mean you’re eating a healthy diet.
F．These alternatives might be worse for our health than the meat they are replacing.
G．Fast forward to today，and Watson would have been astonished at the vegan food varieties.
语篇解读　这是一篇说明文。文章以素食主义概念践行的第一人沃森的故事引出吃素食，并指出现代工业素食对身体有害。
36．答案　B
解析　上文“the realization that these ‘friendly creatures’ ended up being killed horrified him”指出这些动物被杀死让他感到恐惧；下文“Two decades later，with his wife and four friends，he coined the word ‘vegan’ to define those who cut meat out of their diet.”指出他把那些把肉从饮食中减除的人称之为“严格素食主义者”；由此推测空处提到他呼吁不要吃肉。选项B“He became a vegetarian in 1924，aged 14.”指出他成为素食主义者，承上启下，符合语境。故选B。
37．答案　G
解析　上文“Watson’s diet was filled mostly with nuts，apples，dried fruit，vegetables and lentils(小扁豆)．”指出沃森的饮食结构；下文“you will find a growing amount of space for diverse vegan food”指出许多西方国家的超市里的素食种类越来越多。选项G“Fast forward to today，and Watson would have been astonished at the vegan food varieties.”指出沃森会对现在的素食种类感到震惊，符合语境。故选G。
38．答案　D
解析　上文“Nowadays vegans are no longer cooking their own vegetables and lentils.”指出素食主义者如今不再吃自己烹饪的蔬菜和扁豆；下文 “The plant-based movement has put all this processed food into people’s diets.”指出加工食品已经加入素食主义者的饮食当中。选项D“They’ve got vegan chicken nuggets，vegan burgers，and vegan sausages.”中提到了素食主义者吃的加工食品，符合语境。故选D。
39．答案　E
解析　下文“Finding out is increasingly important，due to the growing number of people avoiding meat and dairy in their diet.”指出因为素食主义者越来越多，弄清楚某件事情越来越重要，由此可推测空格处可能提及这件需要弄清楚的事。选项E“Today，being a vegan doesn’t automatically mean you’re eating a healthy diet.”指出吃素食并不意味着饮食健康，和下文有因果关系。故选E。
40．答案　F
解析　上文“But if he had lived on industrially produced vegan food，it might have been a different story.”指出如果沃森吃的素食是工业素食，他的情况将会大有不同，由此可知，空处承接上文继续讲工业素食对我们的健康有害。选项F“These alternatives might be worse for our health than the meat they are replacing.”符合语境，其中“These alternatives”指代上文中的 “industrially produced vegan food”。故选F。

解析　考查时态和主谓一致。此空应填谓语动词，Noodle-making与become为主动关系，且由so far可知，这里时态应用现在完成时。主语Noodle-making为第三人称单数，助动词用has，故填has become。
60．答案　typical
解析　考查形容词。此空应填形容词作定语，修饰后面one。故填typical。
61．答案　when
解析　考查定语从句。此空引导定语从句，先行词为 the Yuan Dynasty，在从句中作时间状语，所以应用关系副词when。故填when。
62．答案　shared
解析　考查非谓语动词。这里是with的复合结构，one knife与share为被动关系，所以这里应用过去分词作宾补。故填shared。
63．答案　to use
解析　考查非谓语动词。decide to do sth“决定做某事”，为固定用法。故填to use。
64．答案　rolling
解析　考查非谓语动词。此空应填动名词形式，与 pinching以及making为并列关系。故填rolling。
65．答案　families
解析　考查名词复数。family意为“家人”时为可数名词，且由 their可知，这里应用名词复数形式作宾语。故填families。

Dear Tom，
I’m glad you want to prepare a special Chinese New Year dinner for your Chinese friends in the UK.There are several traditional Chinese dishes that are perfect for the occasion.
Dumplings are a popular choice as they symbolize wealth and good luck in Chinese culture.Fish is also a good option as it represents abundance and prosperity.However，to make the dinner more inclusive，you could also consider incorporating British elements into the menu.For example，you could serve Chinese dishes with British-style roasted vegetables or add British-inspired desserts to the menu.
I hope these suggestions help you create a memorable Chinese New Year celebration for your friends.
Best regards，
Li Hua
