She thought it would be easy to find recipes. "I went to the Internet, did some search but only found two books, which I thought immediately, 'Wow, this is funny,'" Vasquez said. It was at the moment that Vasquez determined to do something to safeguard her culture. Her idea became SalviSoul, a platform (平台) launched in 2o15 to preserye her traditional food culture through stories, cooking classes and recipes. And now, that mission has turned into The SalviSoul Cookbook: Salvadoran Recipes Vasauez said that the book started coming together through her desire to interview the women in her family and learn their recipes. But when friends heard about her project, they were excited to share recipes and stories from their families. She started seeking stories and recipes from her community and got responses from around the world. The interviews she collected became The SalviSoul Cookbook, with 80 recipes from 25 women "The way that I brought in the culture was through the women in my family and they fed me." They also shared lessons on life and Iove. "So there was the food that built my physical form. And as I was at the table, these stories were feeding the part of my soul that longed to connect, that longed to belong." She eventually secured a contract (合同) for The SalviSoul Cookbook from Ten Speed Press, an imprint of Penguin Random House. About the publication, Vasquez said, "It's about making sure that what cost a lot to learn isn't forgotten." 英语·第3页(共8页) 24. What inspired Vasquez's idea of SalviSoul? A. Lack of Salvadoran recipes.

They also studied olive-backed sunbirds and black sun. birds and found that some of the birds they examined actually belonged to some previously un- recognized species The new Wakatobi sunbird looks similar to the oliye-backed sunbird, but has darker feathers, shorter wings, and a higher-toned song. Zoologists believe that because it has such short wings, it never spread beyond the tiny islands. The olive-backed sunbird, however, can fly long distances, so it was able to live in other locations "Specifically, we became interested in the Wakatobi sunbird because of the work of Ernst Hartert, a German bird expert active at the beginning of the 20th century," Fionn Marcaigh one researcher, says."He described the Wakatobi sunbird as a population with uniaue dark feath- ers, but he and the rest of the scientific community finally decided that it was only a subspecies of the widespread olive-backed sunbird. We were eager to use modern methods to put this to the test." For their research, scientists used DNA, recordings of songs, and body measurement analysis to compare the sunbirds they studied."We used a system called integrative taxonomy (综合分类学),which combines data on a number of aspects of the birds,including theit songs, feathers, and body structures,"Marcaigh says."We recorded their songs using digital recorders, measured live birds, set them free, and used computers to analyze the differences." "I'm excited that we've added to the list of known species from this wonderful part of the world,"Marcaigh says. 28. What does the underlined word "discerned" in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Imagined. C. Overlooked. B. Controlled. D. Recognized. 29. How does the Wakatobi sunbird differ from the olive-backed sunbird? A. It has colorful feathers. B. It flies shorter distances. C. It lives throughout Indonesia D. It sings more beautiful songs. 英语·第4页(共8页) 30. Why did Marcaigh study the Wakatobi sunbird? A. To identify its classification. B. To analyze its genetic makeup. C. To support the study of Ernst Hartert D. To investigate its habitat and behavior. 31. What about the research is presented at the end of the text? B. Its prospect. A. Its impact C. Its background. D. Its imperfection D Rote memorization is when we repeat a piece of information until we remember it. One great example of it is how we memorize the alphabet (字母表) when we are little. “Rote memorization can be a useful learning tool in some situations, but its effectiveness depends on the type of information being learned and how it is applied," says Dr. Aldrich Chan, neuropsychologist and professor of Pepperdine University of the Us Rote memorization can be useful for test preparation, learning basic facts and information such as vocabulary words or math formulas, and when we are in the early stages of learning something new. Rote memorization has a place in our day to day lives, especially when we need to learn something new or in a quick fashion. It enables us to remember information in situations where doing so is the main thing asked of us, even if it doesn't lead us to have a deep understanding of that information However, rote memorization isn't always the solution to every problem. Information memorized through rote learning is often preserved in the short term but may be forgotten rela- tively quickly if not actively used. Besides, it often does not promote a deep understanding of the material. Learners may.memorize facts or information without truly comprehending their meaning or how they fit into a broader context. And rote memorization tends to focus on memorizing facts and procedures, which may discourage critical thinking or problem-solving skills. Both rote memorization and meaningful learning have their place. The most important thing to remember is that rote memorization cannot stand in as a replacement for actual learning. Meaningful learning promotes long-term memory and the ability to apply knowledge flexibly 32. What is Dr. Aldrich Chan's attitude towards rote memorization? C. Objective. A. Against. B. Doubtful. D. Approving. 33. Which of the following can be best achieved through rote memorization? A. Improving study effectiveness in all situations. B. Applying knowledge flexibly in our daily lives C. Obtaining a thorough comprehension of information D. Memorizing information at the beginning stages of learning. 34. What is the purpose of Paragraph 3? A. To compare different types of memorization. B. To present the limitations of rote memorization C. To prove the effectiveness of rote memorization. D. To discuss the advantages of meaningful learning 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Rote Memorization: A Useful Learning Tool B. Rote Memorizing: No Eaual to Understanding C. Rote Memorization: Way of Meaningful Learning D. Rote Memorization: Alternative to Deep Learning 英语·第5页(共8页) 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分) 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。 In a 24-hour readathon(读书竟赛), you try to read as much as you possibly can in 24 hours without doing anything else, except for the necessities like eating, sleeping, and going to the bathroom. 36 .
