Food writer Susan Jung was known for nearly 25 years as the South China Morning Post’s (SCMP) Food and Drinks Editor. But since she published her cookbook Kung Pao & Beyond: Fried Chicken Recipes From East And Southeast Asia, she might be taking on a new identity as “the fried chicken lady”. Jung loves fried chicken so much that she jokes it could be her epitaph (墓志铭).
Kung Pao & Beyond was born out of the recipe column she used to have in the SCMP. Jung initially hesitated to write so many fried chicken recipes, unsure if others shared her passion for the dish. However, one day, a co-worker pointed out that her fried chicken recipe was performing well online and joked, “We should write a book about it.” Susan responded, “That’s a really good idea.” Since then, she’s discovered that everyone loves fried chicken.
Jung started off with 90 fried chicken recipes, and then narrowed it down to 60 for the book. She noted that each culture in Asia has its own particular ways of frying chicken that they are proud of. Even among people in the same country, there are different variations. Therefore, her book features different fried chicken recipes from across East and Southeast Asia, presenting diverse flavors and cooking methods.
After three months of testing so many recipes, researching and writing about fried chicken, and talking about it all day long to journalists, “I still love fried chicken!” Jung said enthusiastically.
The most meaningful recipe in the book for Jung is her mother’s fried chicken. It was a dish her mother often made during her childhood and one of the first recipes Jung learned after moving away from home. When the book was published, Jung recreated the dish for her mother, who praised it for preserving the original taste. This heartfelt moment strengthened the value of her cooking journey.
4. What inspired Jung to write Kung Pao & Beyond
A. Her interest in creating recipes.
B. A suggestion from her co-worker.
C. A demand from readers of her recipe column.
D. Her family’s tradition of making fried chicken.
5. What does Jung’s book show about fried chicken in Asia
A. It is especially popular in Southeast Asia.
B. It is rarely changed from its original recipe.
C. It is remarkably diverse in its cooking methods.
D. It has recently risen to fame among Asian cuisines.
6. How did Jung feel after months of work on her book
A. Consistently passionate. B. Extremely anxious.
C. Confidently satisfied. D. Terribly tired.
7. What made the mother’s fried chicken recipe special to Jung
A. It focused on creativity.
B. It won high praises from food critics.
C. It helped improve her cooking skills.
D. It brought back her childhood memories.
C
Blue-light-filtering glasses (滤蓝光眼镜) have become an increasingly popular solution for protecting our eyes from electronic screens’ near-inescapable glow — light that is commonly associated with eyestrain (眼疲劳). In recent years they’ve even become fashion statements that are recognized by celebrities and ranked in style guides. But a recent review paper shows such glasses might not be as effective as people think.
The paper, published last week in Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, analyzed data from previous trials that studied how blue-light-filtering glasses affect vision tiredness and eye health. The study’s authors found that wearing blue-light-filtering glasses does not reduce the eyestrain people feel after using computers.
“It’s an excellent review,” says Mark Rosenfield, a professor at the State University of New York College of Optometry, who was not involved in the study. “The conclusions are no surprise at all. There have been a number of studies that have found exactly the same thing, that there’s just no evidence that blue-blocking glasses have any effect on eyestrain.” He adds that the new review reinforces the fact that there is virtually no evidence that blue-blocking glasses affect eyestrain despite them being specifically marketed for that purpose. As for using blue-light-filtering eyeglasses for eye health, for now, Rosenfield says, “there’s nothing to support people buying them”.
The strain we may feel while staring at our phone or computer screen too long is likely to be caused by multiple factors, such as bad habits or underlying conditions, an associate professor of vision science at the University of Melbourne, Downie says. She argues that how we interact with digital devices contributes more to eyestrain than screens’ blue light does. Changing the frequency and duration of screen usage and distancing one’s eyes from the screens might be more important in reducing discomfort, Downie says. She adds that people who experience eyestrain should see a doctor to assess whether they have an underlying health issue such as far-sightedness or dry eye disease.
8. What can we know about blue-light-filtering glasses from the text
A. They can improve eyesight. B. They may not reduce eyestrain.
C. They can promote eye health. D. They can help to cure eye diseases.
9. What can we infer from paragraph 2
A. A great many professors were involved in the study.
B. Blue-blocking glasses on the market are harmful to eyes.
C. The finding of the study comes as a surprise to the public.
D. Data from previous trials help the study a lot.
10. What does the underlined word “reinforces” mean in paragraph 3
A. Denies. B. Opposes. C. Strengthens. D. Evaluates.
11. What should we do if we suffer from eyestrain according to Downie
A. Wear blue-light-filtering glasses. B. Have an examination in the hospital.
C. Stop staring at the screen for ever. D. Focus on the frequency of phone usage.
D
“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I —
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.”
As Robert Frost reminded us, choices are often difficult and will bring both a gain and a loss. Should I spend my Sunday playing golf or taking a day trip to the North Fork with my wife
If you are a golfer as I am, you will say “Certainly, go playing golf.” Golf is perhaps the greatest challenge to self-improvement. In golf, every swing is counted and can easily be recalled and reviewed by the golfers as they lie in bed that evening, and therefore, self-improvement is pursued.
Now let us return to the question at hand. You will not be surprised to hear that I did in fact go to the North Fork. But, how has that improved me Can this be quantified (量化) In golf, whose goal is to complete the game with as few shots as possible, if I average 80 and I shoot a 76, I know that for that day at least I have improved upon my former self and thus feel satisfied.
You may argue that travel is not about self-improvement at all but just about having grand experiences. I beg to differ. It does matter how these things change and improve me. Seeing the folks dancing in the streets should change you. And talking to the manager of the biscuit shop, ought to change you. I think travel does change us, but it’s very hard to say just how. How does one quantify buying a peach at a farm Or how do you quantify the tasty taste of the scones (司康饼) at a stand
Reviewers have had a hard time analyzing the meaning of Robert Frost’s poem. To be honest, I would say all of us have a hard time analyzing our wish to travel to faraway places. I am not sure what the answer is to this tricky question. I may not have made any hole-in-ones on the North Fork but I did enjoy those scones.
12. Why does the author quote the poem
A. To express the meaning of life. B. To show the impact of choices.
C. To explain the challenges the poet met. D. To advocate Robert’s perspective on choices.
13. What does the author think of playing golf
A. Its result is measurable. B. It is the most challenging sports.
C. It is bound to boost personal growth. D. It shows the potential for gain and loss.
14. What is the author’s attitude towards his decision of going to the North Fork
A. Regretful. B. Unclear. C. Content. D. Doubtful.
15. Which of the following proverb will the author agree with
A. Rome wasn’t built in a day. B. Every path has its own scenery.
C. Actions speak louder than words. D. You can’t judge a book by its cover.

The school sports meeting was in full swing. The most anticipated event, the 4x100-meter relay race, was about to start. Tim, a passionate and athletic student, was part of his class’s relay team. Along with his teammates—Mark, Jack and Alex, he had trained intensively for weeks, nurturing high hopes of winning the gold medal.
The atmosphere was electric as the runners took their positions. The starting gun fired, and Mark took off like a bolt of lightning, his powerful strides eating up the track. He smoothly handed the baton(接力棒)to Jack. Jack sprinted(冲刺)ahead with all his might, skillfully maintaining their lead. Then, it was Tim’s turn. As Jack approached at top speed, Tim reached out eagerly for the baton. But in his over-enthusiasm, he miscalculated the distance, and to his horror, the baton dropped to the ground. Time seemed to stand still as Tim stared at the baton, his heart pounding.
He quickly snatched it up and dashed forward, but the precious seconds lost had put them behind the other teams. Alex did his absolute best in the final leg, pushing himself to the limit, but they ultimately crossed the finish line in fourth place, narrowly missing out on the medals.
The disappointment on the team’s faces was obvious. Tim felt as if a heavy weight had settled on his shoulders. He couldn’t bring himself to look at his teammates, consumed by guilt. He replayed the moment of the dropped baton over and over in his mind, each time wishing he could turn back the clock. Mark, usually the most talkative, was silent, his eyes downcast(低垂的). Jack shook his head in frustration, muttering something under his breath. Alex just looked at the ground, his shoulders low. Without a word, they started walking back to the changing room, leaving Tim alone on the track, filled with self-blame.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150个左右；
2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Tim knew his mistake had cost the team dearly.

【答案】Getting to Know the Intangible Cultural Heritage Around Us
With the aim to enrich students’ knowledge about intangible cultural heritage, our school students’ union organized an activity called “Getting to Know the Intangible Cultural Heritage Around Us” last week. Many students participated in this activity.
First, students watched the documentaries about intangible cultural heritage, including traditional operas, handicraft skills and folk customs, from which they appreciated the beauty of these treasures. Moreover, many artisans were invited to show their sophisticated skills and students learned the basics.
By means of this activity, many students acknowledged that they enjoyed themselves and became more familiar with the heritage. What matters more is that more students have been conscious of the importance and value of protecting and inheriting the intangible cultural heritage.
【答案】
Tim knew his mistake had cost the team dearly. He couldn’t help but blame himself for the failure. As he sat on the edge of the track, tears of frustration welled up in his eyes. He thought about all the hard work and dedication they had put into training, and how it had all seemed to be in vain because of his one moment of carelessness. He wondered if his teammates would ever forgive him, and if he would ever be able to make up for what he had done.
Just then, Mark, Jack, and Alex appeared. They walked up to Tim and sat down beside him. Mark placed a comforting hand on Tim’s shoulder and said, “Hey, it’s not your fault. These things happen. We’re a team, and we all make mistakes.” Jack nodded in agreement, adding, “We didn’t lose because of you. We lost because we didn’t work together well enough in that moment. Let’s learn from this and come back stronger next time.” Alex smiled and patted Tim on the back, saying, “We’re still proud of you, and we know you’ll do better next time. We’re in this together.”
