I am writing to you about my stay at your hotel. My wife and I arrived on Saturday, May 15th and stayed for a week. We found the service excellent, but we think there are still one or two problems. We hoped for a nice holiday and your advertisement said comfortable and quiet. We wanted to have some days to enjoy ourselves. However, we were always woken up by the noise every morning. Why did the workers start their work so early? We also hoped to swim in your wonderful pool, but we found that it kept closed all the time. I hope you don’t mind my writing to you about this, but I would be happy if you could tell me the reasons. As I said at the start, your service is good in other fields. I hope to hear from you soon.
Yours,
Mike Smith

Fried chicken good, fried duck bad?
People raise both chickens and ducks for their meat, but they are different. Ducks live in water and grow fatter to protect themselves. Duck meat has 19.7 percent fat while chicken meat has only 6.7 percent fat, so fried duck tastes too oily. Duck meat also has thick fibers (纤维) and less water, so it tastes dry when fried. What’s more, duck meat gives off a bad smell when it’s fried.
Tasty pies, but hot, hot, hot!
Do you find the fillings of pies can be very hot? It’s found that the average (平均的) temperature of the pie fillings can be up to 64℃. This is because the filling is thick and stays inside, so it keeps the heat for a long time. Usually, liquids (液体) hold heat longer than solids (固体). As a pie’s filling has more water than its crust (外皮), it takes more time for the filling to cool down.
________
In Austria, there is a special band with 11 musicians. They play beautiful music using vegetables! They turn carrots into recorders (竖笛), leeks (韭葱) into violins, and eggplants into drums. The band has played 344 concerts with their vegetables, setting a world record. They don’t just use vegetables to play music for fun. They also want to show that music can come from all kinds of places, even the supermarket.
51. In which SECTION of the newspaper can we read the news?
A. HEALTH. B. TECHNOLOGY. C. FOOD. D. ART.
52. Why is duck meat not good for frying?
① It has more fat than chicken. ② It has thick fibers.
③It has more water than chicken. ④ It has a bad smell.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,通过三个小标题分别介绍了炸鸡与炸鸭的差异、馅饼内馅高温的原因,以及奥地利蔬菜乐队的特殊音乐表演。
【51题详解】
推理判断题。根据全文三个小标题内容均与食物或生活现象相关(炸鸭脂肪含量、馅饼温度、蔬菜乐器),且无健康、科技或艺术的专业论述。第一段“Fried chicken good, fried duck bad?”和第二段“Tasty pies, but hot, hot, hot!”直接关联食物话题。故选C。
【52题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Duck meat has 19.7 percent fat…tastes too oily”(①正确)、“thick fibers…tastes dry”(②正确)、“gives off a bad smell”(④正确)。原文明确提到鸭肉“less water”(水分少),③与原文矛盾。故选B。
【53题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“the filling…keeps the heat for a long time”和“takes more time to cool down”可知,馅料冷却慢需耐心等待。C选项“Hot tofu teaches patience”(热豆腐教人耐心)与文中逻辑一致,均强调高温食物的等待。故选C。
【54题详解】
最佳标题题。根据第三段“They play beautiful music using vegetables… music can come from all kinds of places”可知,核心是蔬菜创造音乐的新奇性。故选D。
【55题详解】
主旨大意题。全文围绕常见食物的特别现象(炸鸭不适合油炸、馅饼高温、蔬菜制乐器)展开,B选项“Uncommon findings on common food”(普通食物的不寻常发现)精准概括主题。故选B。
B
It was an unusual warm night in June. Susan Roberts had an uneasy sleep. Suddenly, she woke up and saw the lights on at her neighbor’s house. She was more worried when seeing the summer rain mixed with snow.
Her husband Johnson looked at the sky carefully and told Susan to get ready for leaving. “Flood (洪水) is coming. It would destroy everything so we have to wake up the neighbors at once!” ★ . “It was still dark; people were sleeping and didn’t realize the danger.” said Johnson. “Thankfully, more people went to each other’s doors shouting, ‘Wake up, you have to get out’.”
It was 3 a.m. when the flood came. The small town was washed away. Trees washed down the town’s main road. Cars floated (漂浮) away. When the Roberts came back to their home the next day, they found their house had crumbled. “Oh, my house!” cried Susan.
To their surprise, the day after the flood, more than 20 people—all new to them came together to help. They thanked the Roberts for saving them on the terrible night with action. “People went into our wet, muddy basement (地下室) and pulled everything out,” says Roberts. “They cleaned up our yard and took things home to wash.” Helpers even saved her photobook, drying each page. And volunteers kept coming every day until summer’s end.
The town returned to normal, but something has changed since then. As people moved in, they were completely strangers. But as they have experienced something hard together, strangers have become friends. With a warm heart, one of the neighbors said. . .
56. What made Susan uneasy according to paragraph 1?
A. Strange weather. B. Bright lights. C. Terrible flood. D. Neighbors’ cries.
57. Which of the following can be put in ★ ?
A. Susan still felt uneasy and wouldn’t move B. They went house to house, waking the others
C. But someone was running around in the storm D. It was then that the storm came to an end
58. What does the underlined word “crumbled” mean?
A. Fallen apart. B. Built up. C. Given away. D. Worked out.
59. What moved neighbors to help the Roberts?
A. Give him an inch and he’ll take a mile. B. What goes around comes around.
C. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst. D. Tall trees catch much wind.
60. What would the neighbor say in the end?
A. “I’ll be waiting for you.” B. “Our hearts will go on.”
C. “We are never alone.” D. “It’s yesterday once more.”
【答案】56. A 57. B 58. A 59. B 60. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了Susan和Johnson夫妇在洪水来临前发现异常天气并唤醒邻居,最终在灾难后得到邻居们帮助的故事,体现了邻里互助的温情。
【56题详解】

In a clear tank of water (水箱), fish are swimming happily. Wait a second, take a closer look at that blue one. It is actually a robot!
This scene happened at an event, the World Digital Education Conference, from May 14th to 16th in Wuhan, Hubei province. Besides blue ones, there were red and yellow robotic fish, too. It is scientists at Wuhan University who have made them.
At the length of about 53 centimeters, the fish were very lifelike. The joints (关节) in their heads and tails were made in a special way to let the fish move fast and easily. This is thanks to bionic engineering (仿生工程), which brings together nature and man-made things.
“I love to see the bionic fish,” Professor James Crabbe from Oxford University told Jiupai News, “It could tell us much more about fish swarming and how fish behave (表现).”
In fact, swarming in fish means they swim together in large groups. It helps them stay safe, find food and save energy (能量). Learning about swarming helps us understand how fish live and how changes in the environment matter to them.
As for the pretty colors of the bionic fish, they come from the LED lights on their bodies, said People’s Daily. These lights can also make shadows, giving the underwater world a party feel.
Even better, the bionic fish are smart. With the help of AI and sensors (传感器), they can “see” things in their way and learn to avoid them, said Changjiang Daily. The fish are already helping in the study of the Yangtze River’s water to help protect the environment. What amazing fish they are!

B. Swarming makes it harder for fish to feed themselves.
C. Swarming helps scientists learn about the habits of fish.

Fried chicken good, fried duck bad?
People raise both chickens and ducks for their meat, but they are different. Ducks live in water and grow fatter to protect themselves. Duck meat has 19.7 percent fat while chicken meat has only 6.7 percent fat, so fried duck tastes too oily. Duck meat also has thick fibers (纤维) and less water, so it tastes dry when fried. What’s more, duck meat gives off a bad smell when it’s fried.
Tasty pies, but hot, hot, hot!
Do you find the fillings of pies can be very hot? It’s found that the average (平均的) temperature of the pie fillings can be up to 64℃. This is because the filling is thick and stays inside, so it keeps the heat for a long time. Usually, liquids (液体) hold heat longer than solids (固体). As a pie’s filling has more water than its crust (外皮), it takes more time for the filling to cool down.
________

They also want to show that music can come from all kinds of places, even the supermarket.
