The bakery was started by Andrew Stow 32 years ago.Originally from Essex in eastern England，Andrew worked for British drugstore chain Boots as an industrial pharmacist (工业药剂师).He moved to Macau in 1979 to work for Anglo French Laboratories.When the company left a few years later，Andrew decided to stay and set up his own business selling health foods，which was of course 20 years ahead of its time. The business did not do well.To make ends meet，Andrew took a side job managing Alfonso's Restaurant at the Hyatt Regency Hotel.He got the name “Lord Stow” from his Portuguese friends，who laughed at him for lording it over them. Although his health food business never took off，Andrew found a niche importing flour for expatriates (侨民) who wanted to make their own bread.When he went to Portugal，Andrew saw the roadside bakeries selling pasteis de nata (Portuguese egg tarts).He thought about introducing it to Macau. The only problem was that Andrew did not have a recipe for pesteis de nata，but he was not discouraged.He started experimenting.With the help of a chef friend at the Hyatt Regency，he developed his own version of pesteis de nata.It featured a Portuguese pastry (油酥面皮) case filled with a British custard that is slightly burned on the top. After Andrew died suddenly of asthma (哮喘) in October，2006，his sister Eileen continued managing the business.“I can't believe the business has grown this much in 32 years.And I doubt whether Andrew expected that it would have a long history，” she says. The Macau government honored Andrew with a gold medal for his services to tourism.They recognized that he had created an iconic (标志性的) pastry that would be forever linked with Macau. [语篇解读]本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Andrew Stow在澳门创办了一家著名的蛋挞店，介绍了其生平以及创办的过程。 4．What can we infer from the passage about Andrew Stow? A．He got along well with his Portuguese friends in Macau. B．He made a fortune by importing flour to expatriates. C．He did not expect his egg tarts to be wildly popular in Macau. D．He had not led an easy life before deciding to settle in Macau.

As a single mother cleaning houses, Stephanie Land dusted and polished possible answers to this question and wrote them down in her book “Maid”．Her new book, “Class”，which came out on Nov.7，2023, picks up where “Maid” left off, recounting (讲述) her struggle to feed herself and her daughter while going deep into student loan debt.When “Maid” became a surprise best seller in 2019 and then a hit Netflix series in 2021, it looked to the world like she had become rich. But when Ms.Land, 45, wanted to buy a house, it wasn't easy to get one.When she got her first book payment in 2016, she had about $16,000 in credit card debt, which she paid off immediately.Her two children had been on state­subsidized (国家资助的) health insurance (保险), but her book earnings made them unqualified, so she needed to purchase new insurance, which cost her family over $30,000 per year.She spent $7,000 on a very used car. The subject of poverty (贫困) is always timely.The further Ms.Land gets from the lived experience of it, however, the more she worries that she seems like an impostor (假冒者).“I'm still really struggling with job security，” she said.“My job depends on people finding me interesting, and I worry that people are thinking that I'm not real.” Finally, she bought a house.There isn't much that resembles the big homes she described in “Maid”．Instead, there are 45 or so houseplants and a kitchen filled with jam jars and plates in rainbow colors.Three dogs live there too.Her children have their own rooms.They have places for their clothes.They have new clothes that aren't from charity shops, and lots of them.“I want that for my kids，” she said.“Everything else is just a bonus.” [语篇解读]本文是新闻报道。作家Stephanie Land成名后依然肩负生活重担，但对于目前的生活，她心满意足。 8．What can we learn about “Class”？ A．It provides the background story of “Maid”． B．It has made the author newly rich. C．It was poorly received until 2021. D．It describes the author's hardships.

A．She ordered a new car. B．She paid off her debts. C．She bought a bigger house. D．She applied for better insurance.

A．It has lifted her out of poverty. B．It gives her little sense of security. C．It has brought her many followers. D．It makes her less connected to life.

Long Thuong, a bronze casting (青铜铸造) village, is famous in Van Lam.The village has 200 households engaged in the trade, employing 1,000 people.On average, it supplies the market with about 31,000 items per year, earning about 4 million USD. Thanks to the province's industrial promotion program, bronze casting workshops in Long Thuong have updated their technology, trained their employees to create high­end products, and increased their competitiveness.Long Thuong bronze products have been recognized as one of Van Lam district's 14 representative products.This recognition has encouraged locals to make a large investment in production.The capital provided by the industrial promotion program has helped traditional craft villages improve product quality and value, expand their markets, and protect their culture. In addition to bronze casting, Van Lam has long been famous for growing medicinal plants mainly in Nghia Trai.With their advantages over soil and the local people having gained much experience and knowledge, in recent years, the area has expanded its devotion to medicinal plant cultivation (种植).They are focusing on the ones with high economic value. Vietnamese balm, a specialty of Nghia Trai, is grown for seeds to make medicine and drinks.The longer it is cultivated, the higher quality it turns out.Local terrain (地形) and climate have made herbal plants develop well and become resistant to harmful insects, helping Nghia Trai farmers use pesticides less, if at all.Medicinal plants are picked, cleaned, chopped (切碎) and naturally dried.The plants are so profitable (有利润的) that many households plan to expand their production to boost their income and make medicinal plants their family's main crop. Developing a traditional craft village economy based on highly profitable products is a new direction for Van Lam district.Craft villages across Hung Yen province are changing rapidly to keep up with Vietnam's international integration and contribute more to the local economy.

A　[推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Thanks to the province's industrial promotion program...Long Thuong bronze products have been recognized as one of Van Lam district's 14 representative products”和“The capital provided by the industrial promotion program has helped”可知，Long Thuong的青铜铸造业之所以能快速发展，是由于其所在省份政府提供了项目及资金等支持。] 13．What do we know about Vietnamese balm? A．Its processing is complex and time­consuming. B．Its flowers have the greatest medical value. C．Its quality relies mainly on the climate. D．Its cultivation is eco­friendly.

In a word，while online shopping can be a way for us to accumulate some social experience，we can't play it so far as to affect our studies. 第二节(满分25分) 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。 (2024·江西师大附中高二下期末)Melati and Isabel deeply love their home on the island, surrounded by tropical rain forests, green fields, and a vast ocean.Enjoying a swim at their local beach was once a daily pleasure for them.But when Melati was fifteen, and Isabel just ten, the sisters started to lose their enthusiasm for swimming in the waters near their home.More often than not, plastic bags would be around them as they swam and some were scattered on the beach.They got really upset about that. Melati didn't think much about it until one day her teacher gave a lesson on some world heroes.Each of those people had sparked movements of positive changes in the world.They believed in the impact they could have and they did inspire more people to do something meaningful.After school, Melati walked home slowly in silence, concerned about the vast amount of plastic rubbish on the beach.The heroes crossed her mind.If they could do it, we could do it too, she thought.The idea lit her up.She couldn't wait to share what she thought with Isabel and quickened her pace. “So many plastic bags around! The beach is dirty and messy! It's so terrible! We have lost the clean and beautiful beach.Can't we do something to get it back？” Melati said heartily.Isabel felt a bit puzzled at what to do, but she also had a strong desire to do something.Picturing a beach as fascinating as before in mind, the pair jumped with joy. They talked a lot, anxious to know how Dad and Mom would respond to their ideas.That night when the family sat by the dinner table, the sisters eagerly got their ideas across.While Mom and Dad listened to the girls carefully, their eyes shone.“How amazing that would be!

One month later, Melati received a call from the local newspaper. The two girls were invited to an interview in which they were asked what inspired them to start the organization, what the biggest challenges are and what advice they have for young people who want to make changes in this world.They said a team is what keeps them going during the challenging days and added, “keeping our team engaged and motivated has been a challenge and we are happy to have a positive influence.” Melati and Isabel are heroes who make a big difference to our world.
