I have always loved cooking — it relaxes me, especially when I cook for others. A top-chef career requires great passion, dedication, and hard work. Many chefs work fifteen-hour days, six days a week, in hot, noisy kitchens where precision must be kept even under high pressure.
Shortly after graduating from the Prudy College of Food and Wine, I set my goal high: I sent my resume to every three-Michelin-star restaurant listed in the Michelin Guide that year. Before long, I got a trial shift at one of them.
The beginning was tough. In a rush to plate dishes, I burned my arm on a hot pan. My knife skills were too slow for the head chef, who snapped, “Faster! This isn’t for grandma! “Another night, with orders piling up, I nearly dropped a full tray of desserts. Exhausted, I began doubting if I was fit for this world.
Yet I didn’t give up. I practiced cutting techniques late each night, studied classic recipes until they became second nature, and trained myself to focus on one task at a time to keep calm. Slowly, I became faster and steadier. Eventually, the same strict chef gave a nod and said, “Better.”
Looking back, I realize that aiming high is important, but real growth comes from pushing through difficulties with honesty and perseverance. Now, whenever I speak to young students, I tell them: follow your passion, but understand — success isn’t just about reaching the peak. True fulfillment lies in learning through challenges and choosing a path that matches both your dreams and your well-being.
4. What is the main purpose of the passage
A. To show how the author overcame early career challenges and gained wisdom
B. To advise young people to think twice before entering the culinary industry
C. To describe the daily life of a top chef in a Michelin-starred restaurant.
D. To compare cooking for others with cooking for oneself
5. Why did the author begin to doubt whether he belonged in a top kitchen
A. He preferred cooking for himself rather than for customers.
B. He made mistakes and felt exhausted under pressure
C. He disliked the heat and noise of the environment
D. His head chef never praised his efforts.
6. According to the passage, what is the author’s overall attitude toward being a top chef
A. It should be avoided unless one can handle extreme stress easily.
B. It is admirable but may not suit everyone’s lifestyle and health.
C. It is the only way to prove one’s true passion for cooking
D. It is less rewarding than other careers in the food industry
7. From the author’s advice to young students, we can conclude that he believes ________.
A. personal well-being should be part of one’s definition of success
B. avoiding challenges is necessary for a balanced life
C. passion alone is enough to achieve one’s dreams
D. becoming a top chef is the only true success
C
You may not catch them on TikTok or Snapchat, but the latest data shows that the over-70s are spending more time online than any generation besides Gen Z.
According to figures from the Office for National Statistics detailing how different Britons report spending their time, the 70-plus age group is second only to those in their 20s when it comes to the average amount of time using a computer or device as a primary activity separate from working or watching streamed video. The over-70 spent more time web browsing, checking email, and on other computer use than any other age group surveyed-but also spent the least time just three minutes a day on social media.
The Internet can have great benefits for older people, according to the digital inclusion charity Good Things Foundation, whether it is making it easier to stay connected with loved ones keeping up to date with the latest news, or making health care appointments.
Katie Heard, the head of research and data insight at the charity, said: “We know older people are most likely to be digitally excluded because they don’t have digital skills, so this data may initially appear surprising. However, there is a significant proportion of this age group that has embraced the change. Many people aged over 70 have benefited by joining thousands of others to gain digital skills in local digital inclusion hubs.”
Older people are increasingly using the Internet to interact with key services. Separate figures found that pensioners were the most active users of the NHS app last year-with two-thirds of users over retirement age accessing the app within the most recent three months of data-273,500 of whom were over 80 years old.
Caroline Abrahams, the charity director at Age UK, said it was good to see older people crossing the digital divide and that being online could offer a range of benefits. However, she also warned: “There is a need for more support to help those older people who want to go online to do so, but it’s also vital that those who aren’t IT users can continue to access services of all kinds in other ways. They shouldn’t be forced into a digital world just because it cuts costs for business or the government we should be using digital tech to expand choice for people, not restrict it.
8. According to the survey, which of the following activities do the over-70s spend the least time on
A. Playing computer games B. Browsing the Internet.
C. Using social media. D. Checking emails.
9. From paragraph 3, what can we infer about the role of “digital inclusion hubs”
A. They have helped many over-70s overcome barriers to going online
B. They are run by the government to replace traditional services
C. They focus on providing healthcare services through apps
D. They mainly teach older people how to use social media.
10. What can we infer from Katie Heard’s comments in paragraph 4
A. The high online activity of some seniors reflects their efforts to overcome digital barriers.
B. Younger generations are better learners at digital inclusion hubs than older people.
C. Local hubs mainly focus on teaching older adults to use entertainment apps.
D. Most over-70s still refuse to learn digital skills despite the benefits.
11. What can be concluded from the NHS app usage and Caroline Abrahams’ warning together
A. Even with growing adoption, non-digital access remains essential for some seniors.
B. Digital health services should replace all offline options to save costs.
C. People over 80 are unwilling to use any form of online services.
D. Pensioners prefer social media over practical apps like the NHS.
D
Authors once turned to fire to be rid of writing they didn’t want the world to read. Terry Pratchett took a slightly more creative — and modern — route. He ordered that his hard drive be destroyed after his death. The destroyed drive is now on display at England’s Salisbury Museum
The extreme action represents a new solution to a question that has troubled authors, their families, and their publishers for centuries: If an author doesn’t want his or her work published after his or her death, must families and publishers comply — even if they believe the work is valuable “You could say that on the one hand, an author should enjoy a kind of sovereignty over his or her unpublished material…,” says Paul Saint-Amour, a professor of humanities at the University of Pennsylvania.
But what about the possible loss to world culture Franz Kafka, for example, told his friend Max Brod he wanted his unpublished works burned after his death. If Brod had done so, Kafka’s masterpieces The Trial and The Castle would have been destroyed. Was Brod right not to do so
Sometimes an author’s desires are difficult to recognize. The family of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo author Stieg Larsson used another writer to complete one of his unfinished novels. But Larsson’s partner, Eva Gabrielsson, said Larsson would never have wanted that. To Kill a Mockingbird author Harper Lee was alive but older when her second work, Go Set a Watchman, was released in 2015. Questions were raised as to whether this was really Lee’s wish. (The Alabama Securities Commission stated that it was.)
Sometimes a good compromise can be waiting for a period of time before publication. Professor Saint-Amour points to De Profundis, Oscar Wilde’s 1897 letter to a male lover. The full text appeared in 1962 — long after the letter’s recipient and his family had died. Saint-Amour says, “I think that those surface solutions can be elegant in that they recognize the long-term cultural interest in a work while also recognizing that certain kinds of expressive works can be sensitive for the living.”
12. What does the underlined word “comply” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Attempt. B. Ignore. C. Deny. D. Obey
13. What does the author want to show by using the example of Franz Kafka
A. It’s hard to say if it’s right to go against the author B. Going against the author doesn’t do any good
C. The author’s wishes should be respected. D. Not all friends can be trusted.
14. How might Stieg Larsson feel about his family’s behavior according to Eva Gabrielsson
A. Unconcerned. B. Dissatisfied. C. Grateful. D. Proud.
15. What would be a possible solution according to the last paragraph
A. Having the works judged before publication. B. Publishing the works after the author dies
C. Talking the author into publication. D. Putting off publishing the works

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。
Tom was a shy high school sophomore. He loved painting but never showed his work, afraid of being laughed at. His deskmate, Anna, often encouraged him, but Tom would just shake his head.
Last month, the school announced an “Art Festival”. Tom secretly spent two weeks painting their school campus — the old library, the ginkgo tree, and students on the path. He was proud of it, but when the deadline came, he couldn’t hand it in. He rolled up the canvas and put it in his locker.
One day at lunch, Anna saw Tom staring at his locker. He opened it and showed her the painting. Anna said, “This is amazing! You have to submit it.” Tom closed the locker. “No, I’m not good enough.”
The next day, Anna told their art teacher, Mr. Zhang. Mr. Zhang asked Tom to stay after class. Tom brought the painting to the teacher’s office. Mr. Zhang looked at it and smiled. “This is excellent. You must enter it.”
Encouraged, Tom submitted his painting. A week later, it won first prize. The headmaster asked him to come on stage and say a few words. Shocked, Tom slowly walked onto the stage.
Not everyone was happy, though. Jack, a classmate who also loved painting, had told his friends the day before: “The winner is probably someone the teachers like, not someone truly talented.”

【答案】Dear Chris,
I’m excited to invite you to our school’s “Traditional Chinese Culture Week”. It will be held in the school gymnasium next Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
There will be many wonderful activities, including calligraphy displays, paper-cutting workshops, Peking Opera mask painting, and a tasting of traditional Chinese snacks.
I think this is a great chance for you to experience Chinese culture up close. Also, you could share some British traditions with us, making the event a cultural exchange. I really hope you can come!
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
【答案】Paragraph 1:
Tom stood on the stage, holding the certificate, his heart racing. He looked at the audience, then at his painting on the wall. Taking a deep breath, he said, “I almost didn’t submit this. I was too afraid. But my deskmate, Anna, believed in me, and Mr. Zhang encouraged me. Thank you.” The audience applauded warmly. For the first time, Tom felt proud of himself. As he stepped down many students came to congratulate him. But he also noticed Jack standing in the corner, his arms crossed, saying nothing.
Paragraph 2:
However, the praise also brought unexpected problems. The next day, Jack told several classmates that Tom’s painting wasn’t original. “No way a shy guy like him could paint that,” Jack whispered. Soon, some students began to doubt Tom. Tom overheard them and felt his heart sink again. At lunch, Anna found him sitting alone. “Don’t listen to them,” she said. “Mr. Zhang knows the truth.” Tom nodded and decided to keep painting, not for prizes, but to prove to himself that he was a real artist. When the school art club opened applications, Tom signed up — something he would never have done before.
