Eating out in the United States is not much different than eating out in other parts of the world. There are still fast-food chains such as McDonald’s and KFC for those hamburgers. However, what makes the restaurants in the US unique is that there is a cultural diversity of restaurants serving food from almost every part of the world. When you arrive in Irvine, and travel around the city, you will find many restaurants of many different cultures, ranging from Europe to the Middle East and Asia. So, when you first arrive, there are always restaurants close by that offer the food you prefer.
Now how do you find those restaurants and know if they are good or not The most common way is through the Internet. In the US, most restaurants can be found through a smartphone app called Yelp. It is a commonly used search engine for restaurants and it is very convenient to use! All you need is to enter the cuisine you want such as “Indian, Sichuan, Sushi, Vegetarian, etc.” In addition, each restaurant on there is also rated and reviewed by some of their past customers. At some restaurants, you can also sign up for the waiting list through the app to economize on time!
If you don’t have time to go out and eat, there are food delivery services available. Traditionally, pizza is the most common food for delivery. Some delivery services you can try are DoorDash, Uber Eats, or Postmates. All you would need to do is just open a free account, select the restaurants on their webpage, order from the menu, and enter your address to have the food delivered to your home. They usually have a delivery discount the first time you sign up for an account, so be sure to take advantage of that!
4. What sets restaurants in the United States apart from other parts of the world
A. The use of Internet apps for ordering food.
B. The tradition of having food delivered to one’s home.
C. The presence of fast-food chains like McDonald’s and KFC.
D. The availability of a wide range of cultural diversity in food options.
5. What is the most common way for visitors to find restaurants serving their preferred cuisine
A. By exploring the city on foot.
B. By asking the locals for recommendations.
C. By using the Yelp app to search for specific cuisines.
D. By checking in at their hotel for a list of nearby restaurants.
6. What do the underlined words “economize on” mean in the second paragraph
A. Save. B. Spend. C. Kill. D. Waste.
7. How do food delivery services in the US attract new customers

B. By providing free delivery for all orders.
C. By allowing customers to order through smartphone apps.
D. By offering delivery discounts to first-time account sign-ups.

Adults understand what it feels like to be flooded with objects. Why do we often think that more is more when it comes to kids and their belongings The good news is that I can help my own kids learn earlier than I did how to live more with less.
I found the holidays a good time to encourage young children to donate less-used things, and it worked. Because of our efforts, our daughter Georgia did decide to donate a large bag of toys to a little girl whose mother was unable to pay for her holiday due to illness. She chose to sell a few larger objects that were less often used when we promised to put the money into her school fund.
For weeks, I’ve been thinking of bigger, deeper questions: How do we make it a habit for them And how do we train ourselves to help them live with need, and use less Yesterday, I sat with my son, Shepherd, determined to test my own theory on this. I decided to play with him with only one toy for as long as it would keep his interest. I expected that one toy would keep his attention for about five minutes, ten minutes, max. I chose a red rubber ball — simple, universally available. We passed it; he tried to put it in his mouth; he tried bouncing it, rolling it, sitting on it and throwing it. It was totally, completely enough for him. Before I knew it, an hour had passed and it was time to move on to lunch.
We both became absorbed in the simplicity of playing together. He had my full attention and I had his. My little experiment to find joy in a single object worked for both of us.
8. What do the words “more is more” in Paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Enough is enough. B. Earn more and spend more.
C. More money, more worries. D. The more, the better.
9. What made Georgia agree to sell some of her objects
A. Adding the money to her school fund.
B. Raising money for a little boy.
C. Saving up for her holiday.
D. Giving the money to a sick mother.
10. Why did the author play the ball with Shepherd
A. To train his attention. B. To show a parent’s love.
C. To try out an idea. D. To help him start a hobby.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Take it or leave it B. A lesson from kids
C. Live more with less D. The pleasure of giving
D
Once when I was facing a decision that involved high risks, I went to a friend. He looked at me for a moment, and then wrote a sentence containing the best advice I’ve ever had: Be bold and brave — and mighty forces will come to your aid.
Those words made me see clearly that when I had fallen short in the past, it was seldom because I had tried and failed. It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all. On the other hand, whenever I had plunged into deep water, forced by courage or circumstance, I had always been able to swim until I got my feet on the ground again.
Boldness means a decision to bite off more than you can chew. And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces. They are potential powers we possess: energy, skill, sound judgement, creative ideas — even physical strength greater than most of us realise.
Admittedly, those mighty forces are spiritual ones. But sometimes they are more important than physical ones. A college classmate of mine, Tim, was an excellent football player, even though he weighed much less than the average player. “In one game I suddenly found myself confronting a huge player, who had nothing but me between him and our goal line,” said Tim. “I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet — and stopped him suddenly.”
Boldness — a willingness to extend yourself to the extreme — is not one that can be acquired overnight. But it can be taught to children and developed in adults. Confidence builds up. Surely, there will be setbacks and disappointments in life; boldness in itself is no guarantee of success. But the person who tries to do something and fails is a lot better than the person who tries to do nothing.
So, always try to live a little bit beyond your abilities, and you’ll find your abilities are greater than you ever dreamed.
12. Why was the author sometimes unable to reach his goal in the past
A. He faced huge risks.
B. He lacked mighty forces.
C. Fear prevented him from trying.
D. Failure blocked his way to success.
13. What is the implied meaning of the underlined part
A. Swallow more than you can digest.
B. Act slightly above your abilities.
C. Develop more mysterious powers.
D. Learn to make creative decisions.
14. What was especially important for Tim’s successful defence in the football game
A. His physical strength. B. His basic skill.
C. His real fear. D. His spiritual force.
15. What can be learnt from Paragraph 5
A. Confidence grows more rapidly in adults.
B. Trying without success is meaningless.
C. Repeated failures create a better life.
D. Boldness can be gained little by little.

The transition from high school to college is a major one, and successful adjustment to college has lifelong influences.

That second year, the rabbits ____24____ me, and one would even sit up for slices!

I carefully extended a long carrot, with a keen eye on those teeth, and ____27____, there were times I would have the groundhog sitting next to a rabbit, both munching (出声地嚼) on carrots.

By year three, the rabbits and the groundhog were back. The groundhog ____30____ didn’t have a problem with me scratching her back, and I got an idea.

Again, not a ____33____. The next time, I had my camera ready to record what you see here, one of several dozen such pictures. ____34____ she had a slice to eat, she never ____35____ the one on her head.

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。
I was very excited the first time I went inside a body of water. I was out with a group of friends and we just decided to go swimming. What they didn’t know was that it was my first time. So I lost control quickly. I struggled in the water for a few seconds, trying my possible best to get control of my body to avoid drowning. After a few seconds, luckily, I found my feet — literally.
I stood up, and that was it. I just couldn’t afford to trust the water anymore.
After that experience, I was never interested in going swimming again.
Ten years later, I was looking through my notebooks one day and I saw a note where I wrote things I was going to try. It was written during my 21st birthday. One of the things I wrote was that I was going to learn how to swim. It is exactly six years since I wrote those things down. And apart from starting my first business, I haven’t finished doing up to ten per cent of the things I wrote.
So I decided that I was going to start crossing off the things written on that list as soon as I could.
That was when I decided to go swimming again.
Unlike before, I made plans for it. I decided beforehand that no excuse was going to stop me this time. I made sure I finished all the tasks I had at work. I didn’t want any excuse to tie me down this time.
So I decided on the pool I was going to use, which was about 1.5 metres deep. I bought my swimming gear. I told some of my friends and even got some to come along with me. I just didn’t want to chicken out at the last minute and I wanted to overcome my fear of water.
注意：
续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph 1:
When the day came, I went into the water.

Good morning, everyone! I’m glad to have the opportunity to deliver a brief speech on my future career.
Since I was a child, I have been looking forward to becoming a tour guide who travels worldwide, appreciating different cultures and enriching life experience at the same time. Besides, this career is financially rewarding.
To be a good tour guide is not easy, for it requires years of practice and continual learning. It is the wide range of knowledge, professionalism and devotion that make a highly qualified tour guide. Therefore, my dream can’t be fulfilled without hard work to pave the way.
Thanks for listening!
【答案】Paragraph 1:
When the day came, I went into the water. Once in the water, the terrible memory went back to me quickly and my mind got confused. It seemed that I would never learn to swim. However, I suddenly remembered what I had promised myself. I kept telling myself that I wasn’t going to drown and my friends were there to encourage me to relax. I made it. I was so happy, not just because of the swimming experience, but because I had overcome my fear of water.
Paragraph 2:
I have learnt a lot from my swimming experience. That experience made me realise that the only limitation we have is the one that we place over ourselves in our minds. In other words, if I could overcome my fear of water, I can go ahead and live my life without limits. That means every other thing I wrote down on that list can be finished as well. And since then, I have managed to do a great number of things that I didn’t think I could do before.
