2023·衢州第一中学高一检测Franco Bergamino is like a surprise “hidden recipe” among young people in southwest China's Chongqing Municipality, where the 62yearold Italian chef runs a dessert house called Mimosa.
The dessert house serves wine jelly with green pepper cheese, jasmine mousse and peachOolong cake—fusion(融合) desserts that combine Italian specialties with local Chinese ingredients(原料).
Bergamino used to run two dessert houses in his home town of Turin, both having a history of 90 years. In 2016, he settled in Chongqing and set up a dessert workshop.
“I especially like Chongqing, where the food and culture are completely different from those in my home town. Life here is like ‘the other side of the coin’,” he said.
With the help of his local Englishspeaking friends, he overcame the language barrier and even learned some Chongqing dialects. More importantly, he has got used to the Chinese table culture of “sharing food together”.
Bergamino said, back in Turin, frequent customers to his shop would buy the same desserts and they would be disappointed if they were sold out. “The situation in Chongqing, however, is very different. Customers expect different desserts each month, and they would be disappointed if the dessert menu stayed the same,” he said.
From 2016 to 2022, Bergamino felt a huge change in the taste of Chinese customers. “In the past, Chinese guests always said that my desserts were too sweet. Now more and more people have accepted the authentic Italian tastes. Mimosa's consumers are mainly between 25 and 35, a group that is more willing to try overseas tastes partly due to China's continued opening to the outside world,” he said.
“I hope I can live to 95 and still work,” he said, so that he can, besides bringing authentic Italian desserts to more customers having a sweet tooth, let more people feel the fusion of Chinese and Italian cultures in his desserts.
( D )1.How does Bergamino like his life in Chongqing?
A.It's aimless.
B.It's hard to adapt to.
C.It's stressful.
D.It's completely new.
( C )2.What do we know about Mimosa?
A.It has a secret recipe.
B.It has a history of 90 years.
C.It's more popular with young people.
D.It's a window on Western table culture.
( A )3.Which of the following can best describe Bergamino's business?
A.Challenging but promising.
B.Booming but uncreative.
C.More and more profitable.
D.More and more controversial.
( B )4.What's Bergamino's expectation in his future dessert career?
A.To add more Italian elements.
B.To promote cultural combination.
C.To set up more dessert houses.
D.To expand the age group of consumers.

2023·义乌中学高一检测The world has been witnessing a growing number of countries where people from around the globe live together and communicate with each other, with various customs and beliefs coexisting. America and Singapore are typical examples. Distinct cultures merge into a common cultural context for mankind. That's why many feel as if people are living in a multicultural age.
Culture shapes identity and influences behaviour, and cultural diversity makes one accept, or to some extent, even integrate and assimilate(同化) into other cultures. To adapt to a diverse cultural community, the important thing is to be aware that there are different cultures apart from one's own. Take a positive view of different cultures, and we can broaden our horizons. Sometimes__a__person__may__not__know__much__about__geography__or__history,__but__by__mixing__with__people__from__other__cultures,__they__may__have__the__opportunity__to__learn__about__different__countries.
For those who want to learn but do not know where to start, a great point is to pick up a book about another culture they are interested in, or do some online research on famous international websites. The best way to learn, though, is through facetoface interaction with people from other cultures. One more way to start learning about new cultures is simply tasting the food from different cultures, since food can also be an aspect of cultural diversity.
Understanding diversity is important for us adults. It's the same for our children too, especially for those who live in culturally diverse cities such as Los Angeles, Shanghai, or Hong Kong. If our children are not aware of diversity, then they become closeminded. This can lead to troubles at school and even lead to bullying. Show them how diverse the world is. Help them be more openminded toward people of different races, cultures, and countries.
In today's world, if everyone is able to know about other cultures, and respect other values, life will be easier.
( D )5.What do America and Singapore have in common according to the text?
A.They are of a size.
B.They have the same number of population.
C.They are countries with growing population.
D.They are countries with people gathering from around the world.
( A )6.What's the writer's purpose in using the underlined sentence?
A.To stress the importance of taking a positive view of different cultures.
B.To attach the importance of learning about geography and history.
C.To emphasise that broadening our horizons is a must.
D.To show that we have broadened our horizons.
( D )7.Who is the article intended for?
A.Teachers. B.Travellers.
C.Teenagers. D.Grownups.
【文本大意】 文章讲述我们处于文化多样性的时代及理解其他国家文化的方法。
5.D 细节理解题。根据第一段前两句可知,世界上越来越多的国家有来自世界各地的人生活在一起,相互交流,各种习俗和信仰并存。美国和新加坡就是典型的例子。因此美国和新加坡的共同点是它们都聚集着来自世界各地的人。故选D。
6.A 推理判断题。根据画线句前一句“Take a positive view of different cultures, and we can broaden our horizons.(积极地看待不同的文化,我们可以拓宽我们的视野。)”可知,积极地看待不同的文化可以拓宽我们的视野,画线句意为“有时一个人可能不太了解地理或历史,但通过与来自其他文化的人交往,他们可能有机会了解不同的国家”。这句话是作为例子来验证前一句的观点,强调积极看待不同文化的重要性。故选A。
7.D 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段前两句“Understanding diversity... Hong Kong.(理解多样性对我们成年人来说很重要。我们的孩子也是如此,尤其是那些生活在洛杉矶、上海或香港等多元文化城市的孩子。)”可知,本文是写给成年人的。故选D。
Ⅴ.七选五
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Why Experiencing a New Culture Is Good for You
Often the best way to really explore a new place and culture is by spending abundant(大量的) time there. A quick vacation may give you a glimpse into your destination. 1.__G__. These opportunities provide a support network as you adjust to new surroundings.
Dealing with culture shock
Culture shock is a response to your new surroundings when abroad that can leave you confused, anxious and feeling lonely. It generally includes frustration at how even the simplest things can be different in the new culture. The thing is that culture shock can be seen as a problem but also as an opportunity. 2.__F__.
3.__A__
Perhaps the most obvious lesson learned with travel is the importance of language. Even just learning the basics of the local language can make getting about and making new friends easier. Trying to overcome the language barrier also teaches you about nonverbal communication. Since you can't rely on what is being said, you learn to adapt to people's tone and body language. This makes you a better communicator.
Finding inspiration
4.__E__. In each of these creative fields, you may come across new approaches or elements that you bring home with you. Maybe it's a certain combination of ingredients that you add to your cooking or a new style you adopt for your own home's design.
Meeting new people
Meeting people and making friends while overseas is both a necessity and one of the most enjoyable aspects of the experience. 5.__D__, which enables you to meet people that you never would have known otherwise. You may be exposed to people from different walks of life, find a similar spirit, or both at the same time.
A.Learning language skills
B.Developing body language
C.So you're less likely to further experience a new culture
D.Travelling to new cultures is a great way to expand your social circle
E.Experiencing the local culture can expose you to local art, cuisine, architecture, etc.
F.Only by adjusting to and accepting new surroundings can you understand and appreciate it
G.But experiences like student or work exchange programmes allow you to immerse(沉浸) in a new culture
