In May 2020, they co­founded Platos, a one­stop solution for restaurants with a custom technology kit to streamline all aspects of cafeteria management.The company offers end­to­end cafeteria management, staff selection and food trials to ensure smooth operations and consistent service.“We believe start­ups solve real problems and Platos is our shot at making daily workplace food enjoyable again.We aim to simplify the dining experience, providing a convenient and efficient solution that benefits both restauranteurs and customers and creating a connected ecosystem，” says Subramanian, CEO and co­founder. Platos guarantees that a technology­driven cafeteria allows customers to order, pay, pick up, and provide ratings and feedback.It also offers goods and menu management to effectively perform daily operations.Additionally, its applications connect all shareholders for a smart cafeteria experience.“We help businesses that are into catering on condition that they have access to an industrial kitchen set­up where they're making food according to certain standards，” Jain states. Since the beginning, Platos claims to have transformed 45 cafeterias across eight cities in the country.Currently, it has over 45，000 monthly users placing more than 200，000 orders.Despite facing challenges in launching cafeterias across major cities in the initial stages, Platos has experienced a 15% increase in its month­over­month profits. As for future plans, the start­up is looking to raise $1 million from investors as strategic partners, bringing in capital, expertise, and networks.“Finding the right lead investor is the compass that points your start­up toward success，” Subramanian says. 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Platos的起源、业务模式、发展历程以及未来规划。Platos是一个为自助餐厅提供一站式服务的公司，为餐厅提供定制技术套件，以简化自助餐厅管理的各个方面。 1．What does the underlined word “tedious” in Paragraph 1 mean? A．Time­consuming. B．Breath­taking. C．Heart­breaking. D．Energy­saving. 答案：A 解析：词义猜测题。根据上文 “Cafeterias have been filled with challenges—right from planning, purchasing, and preparing, to reducing waste, staying on budget, managing goods, and training staff.” 以及下文“restauranteurs lacked a unified platform for efficient management”可知，自助餐厅的流程冗长繁琐，缺乏统一的高效管理平台。由此可推知，画线词tedious 意为 “冗长的”，和 A 项意思相近。故选A。 2．What is the purpose of founding Platos? A．To connect customers with a greener ecosystem. B．To ensure food security and variety in cafeterias. C．To improve cafeteria management with technology. D．To make staff selection more efficient and enjoyable. 答案：C 解析：推理判断题。根据第二段的第一句以及第二段最后一句可知， Platos的目标是简化用餐体验，提供方便高效的解决方案，使餐馆老板和顾客都受益，并创造一个互相联系的生态系统。由此可推知，创立 Platos的目的是用科技改善自助餐厅管理。故选C。 3．What can we learn from the statistics in Paragraph 4? A.Platos has achieved its ultimate financial goal. B．Platos has gained impressive marketing progress. C．Challenges in the food industry can be easily overcome.

Navis's restaurant in a Dutch city.Here, the owner and his team create experimental food using herbs, roots, flowers and nuts—some common, others less so. Most of these ingredients (食材) come from the Ketelbroek Food Forest nearby.To the untrained eye, it's like an ordinary wood.But there's one key difference: everything in it is edible.It was set up in 2009 by Dutch botanist and environmentalist Noah Eck as an experiment in slow farming, to see what would happen if the right combination of food plants were left to grow together like a natural forest, without chemicals. “It's the first ‘food forest’ of its kind in Europe and we're one of the few restaurants around the world cooperating in this way，” says Navis.“We have over 400 different species of edible plants we plan our menus around, including some we previously knew little about.” He harvests the ingredients and, with his fellow chefs, works them into beautifully presented tasting menus, served in a dining room hidden in the backstreets of the city. “To us, fine dining is not about the fame of a restaurant, its location, expensive decoration, fancy cooking and wine list，” says Navis.“It's about adding value through creativity and using ingredients nobody knows of, which are grown with great attention.” However, he adds, luxury cooking can be about enhancing everyday ingredients, too. “When looking at cooking in this way, who can argue that caviar(鱼子酱), for example, is more valuable than a carrot grown with specialist knowledge？” Experimentation is extremely important to Navis.In the next five years，he hopes to open an outdoor restaurant.But for now, the most important thing is to continue focusing on how plants are being grown and the perennial system used in the Food Forest, reducing the need for replanting each season. 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。Navis在荷兰的一座城市经营一家餐厅，该餐厅使用来自Ketelbroek食物森林的实验性食材来创造独特的美食。Navis计划开设户外餐厅，注重可持续农业实践。 5．What can we learn about Navis's restaurant? A．It is well received by its guests. B．It serves food with moving stories. C．It offers experimental food for free. D．It is known for its rare food sources. 答案：A 解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中的“It's not unusual for guests to feel emotional when they discover the story behind our food” 以及 “One even cried with happiness.” 可知，客人们发现食物背后的故事时会情绪激动；品尝的时候，有人甚至高兴得哭了。由此可推知，客人对餐厅的食物不仅有强烈的情感反应，而且还非常满意；也就是说，餐厅得到了客人的好评。故选A。 6．How is Ketelbroek Food Forest different from ordinary woods? A．It is a natural forest. B．Diverse plants coexist in it. C．Plants there take longer to grow. D．It provides safe food ingredients. 答案：D 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的 “But there's one key difference: everything in it is edible.” 和 “to see what would happen if the right combination of food plants were left to grow together like a natural forest, without chemicals” 可知， Ketelbroek食物森林与普通森林的关键区别在于这里提供的是安全的可食用的食材。故选D。 7．What is the key element of fine dining according to Navis? A．Convenient locations. B．Expensive ingredients. C．Innovative menus. D．Fancy cooking techniques. 答案：C 解析：细节理解题。根据第四段中的 “It's about adding value through creativity and using ingredients nobody knows of” 可知，在谈到精致餐饮的关键元素时，Navis 强调通过创新和使用未知食材来增加价值。由此可知，Navis认为创新菜单是精致餐饮的关键元素。故选C。 8．What does “the perennial system” in the last paragraph probably refer to? A．The sustainable farming practice. B．Farming with proper use of chemicals. C．Natural farming without human intervention. D．An experimental farm for an outdoor restaurant. 答案：A 解析：词义猜测题。根据最后一段中的 “the perennial system used in the Food Forest, reducing the need for replanting each season” 可知，这个系统可以减少 “每个季节重新种植的需求” ——意味着植物可以持续生长多年。因此，“the perennial system”指的是A项 “可持续农业实践”。故选A。 Ⅱ.语法填空 (本题共10个空，每空1.5分，共15分) (2024·湖北八市3月联考) Welcome to springtime in Hangzhou, a medium­sized city of eight million people in Zhejiang Province, and home 1. the Lamborghini of China's green tea market: Longjing, known in English as Dragon Well.I'm here to watch the spring rush in action: over a few short weeks in March and April, planters will race against the sunrise 2.
