As a part of our work, we support a wide variety of organizations that do good for animals, from rescue to care and more. Get to know a few of them and the work we do together. Pittsburgh Aviation Animal Rescue Team RRF helped enable Pittsburgh Aviation Animal Rescue Team (PAART) to buy a new and bigger plane for its rescue missions which bring animals from danger to safety. Whether it be flying dogs in overcrowded shelters to new homes, saving animals caught in the path of natural disasters, or bringing supplies to shelters in need, the brave PAART pilots are always ready to help.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍瑞秋·雷基金会助力多个动物保护相关组织，阐述各组织的核心工作内容，以及基金会与它们合作开展的各类动物救助帮扶项目。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Pittsburgh Aviation Animal Rescue Team”部分中“RRF helped enable Pittsburgh Aviation Animal Rescue Team (PAART) to buy a new and bigger plane for its rescue missions which bring animals from danger to safety.(瑞秋·雷基金会助力匹兹堡航空动物救援队购置了一架更大的新飞机，用于执行将动物从危险地带转移至安全区域的救援任务。)”可知，PAART的特别之处在于通过飞机开展动物救援相关的各项任务。故选A项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据“National Disaster Search Dog Foundation”部分中的“National Disaster Search Dog Foundation (SDF) works to find and train shelter dogs who have the talent and drive to become search and rescue animals.(国家灾难搜救犬基金会致力于寻找并训练那些有天赋、有动力成为搜救动物的收容所狗狗。)”可知，SDF是专门培养收容所动物从事搜救救援工作的组织。故选A项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Rachael Ray Save Them All Grants”部分中的“The money has been awarded to organizations across the country to fund projects such as adoption drives.(这笔资金已发放给全国各地的组织，为领养活动等相关项目提供资金支持。)”以及“North Shore Animal League America Disaster Relief Grants”部分中的“This program, managed by North Shore Animal League America (NSALA), provides money for animal welfare organizations impacted by disasters.(该项目由美国北岸动物联盟运营，为受灾害影响的动物福利组织提供资金支持。)”可知，最后两个项目的共同之处是均为相关的动物保护类项目和组织提供经济方面的资助。故选C项。 B Like so many other ABCs (American-born Chinese) and younger first and second-generation Chinese immigrants (移民), sisters Sarah and Kaitlin Leung reached a point in their adult lives when they started to long for the Chinese food they’d grown up on, but found it really difficult to learn how to prepare it. There was such a “representation gap” as Sarah put it, in terms of what kinds of cuisines were noticeably featured in those early days of TV celebrity chefs and the newly emerging food blogosphere (博客圈). As it turns out, though, the Leungs were uniquely positioned to do something about it. Bill, the father, had spent years cooking beef at his family’s Chinese American takeout restaurant. Judy, the mom, was born and raised in Shanghai and had deep knowledge about traditional Shanghainese cooking. Meanwhile, the two sisters had grown up in the New Jersey suburbs, eating their parents’ food, but also growing in America’s own food-obsessed culture. So, in 2013, the Leungs started The Woks of Life. What distinguished their blog from others was that the intergenerational heritage of knowledge that the Leungs were so eager for was baked right into the concept — The four family members took turns posting recipes, each sharing their own favorites, tapping into their own areas of expert knowledge. Kaitlin is proud that The Woks of Life follows along the line of pioneers — folks like Joyce Chen, Martin Yan and Ming Tsai, who first started to bring Chinese home cooking into the mainstream in the US. “We feel proud that we have made a meaningful mark over the past decade, showing that there’s a huge demand for these recipes,” she says. “It’s about representation, yes, but there’s also a huge demand. Asian Americans look to reconnect with the food of their heritage.” Five years ago, you wouldn’t have been able to find a ton of Chinese recipes in the New York Times food section, Kaitlin notes. Now you can. 4. What do the underlined words “representation gap” in paragraph 1 refer to? A. The shortage of Chinese chefs. B. The lack of Chinese food recipes. C. The gap between young and old ABCs. D. The difference between chefs and bloggers. 5. What is the purpose of paragraph 2? A. To prove how unique the Leungs are. B. To tell why the Leungs prefer Chinese food. C. To stress the Leungs’ love for home cooking food. D. To show the Leungs’ advantage to start a food blog. 6. What makes The Woks of Life special? A. The concept of baking Chinese food. B. The pioneers that it follows proudly. C. The bloggers’ way of posting recipes. D. The sharing of recipes across generations. 7. What is the significance of The Woks of Life? A. It develops many new Chinese recipes. B. It links ABCs with their food tradition. C. It strengthens bonds between Americans. D. It marks the popularity of Chinese cuisine. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述梁氏姐妹因怀念中式家常菜却难寻菜谱，依托家族厨艺传承创办美食博客，助力亚裔美国人重拾饮食文化传承的故事。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“Like so many other ABCs (American-born Chinese) and younger first and second-generation Chinese immigrants (移民), sisters Sarah and Kaitlin Leung reached a point in their adult lives when they started to long for the Chinese food they’d grown up on, but found it really difficult to learn how to prepare it. There was such a “representation gap” as Sarah put it, in terms of what kinds of cuisines were noticeably featured in those early days of TV celebrity chefs and the newly emerging food blogosphere (博客圈).(和许多其他的华裔美国人以及年轻的第一代、第二代华人移民一样，萨拉・梁与凯特琳・梁姐妹成年后，开始怀念起自己从小到大吃的那些中餐，却发现想要学会烹制这些菜实在太难了。萨拉说，在电视名厨节目兴起、美食博客圈刚刚形成的那个年代，各类菜系的曝光度存在着这样一种“representation gap”)”可知，姐妹俩找不到中式家常菜的烹饪方法，原因是当时的美食媒介中很少有相关内容，因此“representation gap”指的是中式菜谱的缺失。故选B项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“As it turns out, though, the Leungs were uniquely positioned to do something about it. Bill, the father, had spent years cooking beef at his family’s Chinese American takeout restaurant. Judy, the mom, was born and raised in Shanghai and had deep knowledge about traditional Shanghainese cooking. Meanwhile, the two sisters had grown up in the New Jersey suburbs, eating their parents’ food, but also growing in America’s own food-obsessed culture.(然而事实证明，梁家人具备独有的优势来解决这个问题。父亲比尔曾在自家的美式中餐外卖店做了多年的牛肉料理。母亲朱迪在上海出生长大，深谙传统本帮菜烹饪之道。与此同时，姐妹俩在新泽西郊区长大，既吃着父母做的中餐，也浸润在美国本土的美食文化氛围中)”可知，该段主要介绍梁家人的厨艺背景和成长环境，目的是说明他们创办美食博客的优势。故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“What distinguished their blog from others was that the intergenerational heritage of knowledge that the Leungs were so eager for was baked right into the concept — The four family members took turns posting recipes, each sharing their own favorites, tapping into their own areas of expert knowledge.(她们的博客与众不同之处在于，梁家人所珍视的代际厨艺传承理念，被深深融入了博客的创办核心中——一家四口轮流发布菜谱，每个人都分享自己的拿手菜，发挥各自的专长)”可知，The Woks of Life的独特之处在于家族几代人共同分享菜谱。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的““We feel proud that we have made a meaningful mark over the past decade, showing that there’s a huge demand for these recipes,” she says. “It’s about representation, yes, but there’s also a huge demand. Asian Americans look to reconnect with the food of their heritage.”(她说：“过去十年里，我们留下了意义非凡的印记，证明这类菜谱有着巨大的需求，这让我们倍感自豪。这当然和文化代表性有关，但确实需求旺盛。亚裔美国人都希望与祖辈传承的饮食文化重新建立联结”)”可知，这个博客的意义在于帮助美国出生的华裔等亚裔群体，重新联结自身的饮食文化传统。故选B项。 C When you see someone take that first sip of freshly made milk tea, their face looks like pure joy. Today, millions of people enjoy this experience. Across the world, customers stormed to their favorite spots to meet with friends and enjoy sips of these tasty drinks. In the early 2000s, though, milk tea was just coming on the scene. The few brands that had successfully established themselves in the industry were dearly concerned: Would milk tea just be another fashion food? Sure, people are enjoying it today, but would they still be in a year, or five years? And with so much new excitement for this product, would people be able to tell various milk tea companies apart? These are the questions that Serenitea a Manila-based milk tea company, faced in 2014. While successfully opening 60 stores, they found themselves in a strategic fog, which led them to research into the deep, unexplored psychology of milk tea. Serenitea partnered with an agency, CIA Bootleg Manila (CBM) that specializes in digging into the deep consumer “why”. The agency conducted a series of intensive, psychological-based techniques in its market research. Specifically, they probed the consumers deeper, emotional connections to milk tea, including their earliest childhood memories of milk and tea. What they found was that milk tea was a complex topic. Their research revealed that milk tea produced three consistent psychological responses. People connected to milk through the idea of nurturing (滋养): They fondly remembered their childhood and being cared for by their mothers. Next, consumers connected tea to its healing effects. They would recall receiving tea when they had stomachache or seeing their parents drinking herbal tea for health reasons. Lastly, they associated milk tea itself with teenage fun: a guilty pleasure of their youth. They had uncovered the three psychological cornerstones (基石) of the milk tea experience: nurturing, healing, and teenage fun. This set of insights was crucial. By integrating them into the core of their brand strategy, they struck out an entirely new path. 8. What can be inferred about Serenitea from paragraph 2? A. It desired to explore the psychological truth behind milk tea. B. It had no intention to stand out from its milk tea competitors. C. It was the most successful milk tea company in the early 2000s. D. It was faced with a strategic failure in opening new stores in 2014. 9. What does the underlined word ‘probed’ in paragraph 3 mean? A. Related. B. Applied. C. Investigated. D. Displayed. 10. What will Serenitea probably NOT do with the findings from their research? A. Associate its products with health. B. Offer as many new flavors as possible. C. Redesign stores by adding caring elements. D. Create a youthful and playful brand image. 11. What can be a suitable title for the passage? A. Revealing Milk Tea Psychology B. Sharing the Pure Joy of Milk Tea C. Three Cornerstones of Milk Tea D. A New Path to Business Success 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍马尼拉奶茶品牌Serenitea通过调研消费者心理，挖掘奶茶背后情感价值以制定品牌策略的过程。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“While successfully opening 60 stores, they found themselves in a strategic fog, which led them to research into the deep, unexplored psychology of milk tea. (尽管已经成功开设了 60 家门店，该品牌却陷入了战略迷茫，这促使他们着手研究奶茶背后深层且尚未被探索的消费者心理。)”可知，Serenitea希望挖掘奶茶背后的心理本质。故选A项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“The agency conducted a series of intensive, psychological-based techniques in its market research. Specifically, they probed the consumers deeper, emotional connections to milk tea (该机构在市场调研中采用了一系列深入的、基于心理学的方法。具体来说，他们____消费者与奶茶之间更深层次的情感联系）”可知，“probed”的动作与前文的“conducted a series of intensive...market research”是顺承关系，表达的是调研、探究的含义。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“What they found was that milk tea was a complex topic. Their research revealed that milk tea produced three consistent psychological responses. People connected to milk through the idea of nurturing (滋养): They fondly remembered their childhood and being cared for by their mothers. Next, consumers connected tea to its healing effects. They would recall receiving tea when they had stomachache or seeing their parents drinking herbal tea for health reasons. Lastly, they associated milk tea itself with teenage fun: a guilty pleasure of their youth. (他们的研究发现，奶茶是一个内涵丰富的话题。研究显示，奶茶能引发三种稳定的心理反应。人们会从 “滋养” 的角度联想到牛奶：他们满怀温情地回忆起自己的童年，以及被母亲悉心照料的时光。其次，消费者会将茶与它的疗愈功效联系在一起。他们会记得自己胃疼时喝到过茶水，或是看到父母为了养生饮用花草茶的场景。最后，人们会把奶茶本身和青少年时期的欢乐时光关联起来：那是年少时带着一丝小愧疚的乐趣。)”可知，消费者对奶茶的心理关联有三点：滋养关怀、疗愈功效、青春乐趣。选项B“提供尽可能多的新口味”在文中的研究结论里没有任何相关依据。因此Serenitea不太可能基于此次调研结果推出该举措。故选B项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“These are the questions that Serenitea, a Manila-based milk tea company, faced in 2014. While successfully opening 60 stores, they found themselves in a strategic fog, which led them to research into the deep, unexplored psychology of milk tea. (这些都是马尼拉奶茶公司Serenitea在2014年面临的问题。在成功开设60家门店的同时，他们发现自己陷入了战略迷雾，这促使他们开始研究奶茶的深层次、未被探索的心理。)”以及文章主要说明了奶茶背后心理学原理的发现和揭示过程，按照时间顺序展开，从出现问题到寻求解决，最终找到答案。故A选项“揭示奶茶心理”最符合文章标题。故选A。 D Since time immemorial, people have been searching for the fountain of youth. Surprisingly, the dream of human immortality is, according to some scientists, not so far out of reach. Professor Brian Cox, Google’s Ray Kurzweil, and Tesla head Elon Musk all agree on not only the possibility of human immortality but also that it is not too far away. The solution, they say, is something called the “technological singularity”. The singularity is a combination of humankind with computers, namely uploading the contents of one’s brain onto a hard drive. In that way, a person’s consciousness can stay alive after a physical body gets worse. This is based on the idea that a human brain is simply a machine, and there is, according to Professor Cox, “no reason at all why we cannot simulate (模拟) human intelligence” using a computer. Although Professor Cox did not say when the singularity would occur, Google’s Ray Kurzweil predicts that the singularity will happen as early as 2045. By 2100, he says, human body parts will be replaceable by machine parts. Further by uploading our brains onto a computer, we will be able to toy with it, and become “able to expand the scope of our intelligence a billion-fold (十亿倍)”. Elon Musk agreed with the assessments of the other scientists, even going so far as saying that the chances that we are not in a computer simulation right now are “one in billions”. Google is preparing for a future where you can download personalities onto robots. For example, you might be able to download onto your robot a celebrity personality, or the personality of your late grandmother. The search engine giant filed a patent (专利) for this download process recently. So they definitely believe that the singularity is just around the corner. All you have to do is hold on until 2045, and soon you can effectively live in the cloud. 12. How did the writer explain the idea of ‘technological singularity’ in paragraph 3? A. By giving examples. B. By listing numbers. C. By logically reasoning. D. By giving a definition. 13. How can humankind improve by 2100 according to the text? A. Physically and intelligently. B. Emotionally and materially. C. Individually and corporately. D. Psychologically and spiritually. 14. Which of the following can Elon Musk most probably agree with? A. Computers and humankind are quite different. B. Computers are much smarter than humankind. C. Computers can never surpass humankind at all. D. Computers can be another version of humankind. 15. What’s the passage mainly about? A. The development of robots with downloadable personalities. B. The reason for using computers to simulate human intelligence. C. The possibility of achieving immortality through brain uploading. D. The impact of the technological singularity on human consciousness. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍部分科学家认为人类实现永生并非遥不可及，还阐释了技术奇点的概念、实现方式及相关科学家的预测和谷歌的相关研究。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The singularity is a combination of humankind with computers, namely uploading the contents of one’s brain onto a hard drive.(技术奇点是人类与计算机的结合，即将一个人大脑的内容上传到硬盘上。)”可知，作者通过下定义的方式阐释了技术奇点的概念。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“By 2100, he says, human body parts will be replaceable by machine parts. Further by uploading our brains onto a computer, we will be able to toy with it, and become “able to expand the scope of our intelligence a billion-fold (十亿倍)”. (他说，到2100年，人体器官将可以被机器部件取代。此外，通过将我们的大脑上传到电脑上，我们可以对其进行操控，并变得“能够将我们的智力范围扩大十亿倍”。)”可知，到2100年人类的身体和智力方面都能得到提升。故选A项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Elon Musk agreed with the assessments of the other scientists, even going so far as saying that the chances that we are not in a computer simulation right now are “one in billions”.(埃隆·马斯克认同其他科学家的评估，甚至直言我们目前并非处于计算机模拟中的概率只有十亿分之一。)”可知，马斯克认为计算机可以成为人类的另一种存在形式。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Surprisingly, the dream of human immortality is, according to some scientists, not so far out of reach.(令人惊讶的是，一些科学家认为，人类永生的梦想并非遥不可及。)”、第三段中的“The singularity is a combination of humankind with computers, namely uploading the contents of one’s brain onto a hard drive.(技术奇点是人类与计算机的结合，即将一个人大脑的内容上传到硬盘上。)”及全文内容可知，本文主要介绍了通过大脑上传实现人类永生的可能性。故选C项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，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。 Reasons Why You Need to Read More Historical Fiction Historical fiction refers to fictional stories set in true historical contexts. This mixes the lines between reality and imagination, because it is both factual and fictional. ____16____ Here’s why. It gives you an alternative perspective to look at the past. It is a common belief that victors write history. Indeed, it is always victors who have had the last say in the documentation of facts. But through stories, which demand imagination and innovation, it is possible to rewrite histories from the perspective of those on the losing side. This allows unheard voices to get recognition, and unknown stories to be told. ____17____ It makes you more aware of the world as well as local legacies. Because historical fiction doesn’t exist in a completely made-up world and is written instead in definite places and times, it has a context. ____18____ It provides information about local as well as global histories, allowing you to better understand why certain people, communities and countries are the way they are. ____19____ Among various fiction types, historical fiction stands out as a highly informative category. This is due to the extensive and precise research it demands, creating an impressive experience that transports you to different eras. This, in turn, allows you to get a sense of a life and times so vastly different from yours. It strikes the balance between being informative and engaging. ____20____ While the context and background are factual and research-based, the events, plots, and sometimes characters are fictional. So historical fiction essentially gives you the best of both worlds — it is informative as well as super engaging. A. It makes you connect with your ancestors. B. It offers alternative perspectives to past realities. C. Alternative perspectives make you broad-minded. D. It gives you a sense of a life and times before yours. E. You should definitely invest in reading historical fiction. F. It is this context that makes historical fiction unique and essential. G. Historical fiction balances, or at least tries to balance, fiction and fact. 【答案】16. E 17. B 18. F 19. D 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍阅读历史小说的几点原因，其融合史实与虚构，能带来别样视角、增长认知且兼具知识性与趣味性。 【16题详解】 根据前文“Historical fiction refers to fictional stories set in true historical contexts. This mixes the lines between reality and imagination, because it is both factual and fictional. (历史小说指的是以真实历史背景为设定的虚构故事。它模糊了现实与想象的界限，因为它既基于事实又带有虚构色彩)”以及后文“Here’s why. (原因如下)”可知，前文对历史小说进行了定义，此空应发出阅读历史小说的倡议，引出后文具体的阅读原因，E选项“You should definitely invest in reading historical fiction. (你绝对应该花时间去阅读历史小说)”承接前文的历史小说定义，且能自然引出下文的原因分析，符合语境。故选E项。 【17题详解】 根据本段主题句“It gives you an alternative perspective to look at the past. (它能让你以别样的视角看待过去)”以及前文“It is a common belief that victors write history. Indeed, it is always victors who have had the last say in the documentation of facts. But through stories, which demand imagination and innovation, it is possible to rewrite histories from the perspective of those on the losing side. This allows unheard voices to get recognition, and unknown stories to be told. (人们普遍认为历史由胜利者书写。事实上，在史实的记载中，胜利者总是拥有最终的话语权。但通过需要想象力和创新的故事，我们可以从失败者的视角重写历史。这让那些被忽视的声音得到认可，不为人知的故事被讲述出来)”可知，前文核心讲述历史小说能提供看待过去真实情况的别样视角，B选项“It offers alternative perspectives to past realities. (它为看待过去的真实情况提供了别样的视角)”是对前文内容的精准概括，且与本段小标题相呼应，符合语境。故选 B 项。 【18题详解】 根据本段主题句“It makes you more aware of the world as well as local legacies. (它能让你更了解这个世界以及当地的历史遗产)”以及前文“Because historical fiction doesn’t exist in a completely made-up world and is written instead in definite places and times, it has a context. (因为历史小说并非存在于一个完全虚构的世界，而是以特定的时空为背景创作的，所以它具备时代背景)”和后文“It provides information about local as well as global histories, allowing you to better understand why certain people, communities and countries are the way they are. (它能提供当地和全球的历史信息，让你更好地理解某些人、群体和国家为何会是现在的样子)”可知，前文提及历史小说具备特定的时代背景，此空应说明这一背景的重要性，F选项“It is this context that makes historical fiction unique and essential. (正是这种时代背景让历史小说变得独特且不可或缺)”中的this context指代前文的definite places and times对应的背景，且衔接后文该背景带来的具体作用，符合语境。故选F项。 【19题详解】 分析语篇可知，此处应为本段的小标题，与其他段落小标题格式一致，为陈述句，根据后文“Among various fiction types, historical fiction stands out as a highly informative category. This is due to the extensive and precise research it demands, creating an impressive experience that transports you to different eras. This, in turn, allows you to get a sense of a life and times so vastly different from yours. (在各类小说中，历史小说作为极具知识性的一类脱颖而出。这是因为它需要大量且严谨的研究，能营造出令人身临其境的体验，将你带入不同的时代。这进而能让你感受到与自己所处时代截然不同的生活和岁月)”可知，本段核心是历史小说能让读者感受到往昔的生活与岁月，D选项“It gives you a sense of a life and times before yours. (它能让你感受到往昔的生活与岁月)”能精准概括本段主题，符合语境。故选D项。 【20题详解】 根据本段主题句“It strikes the balance between being informative and engaging. (它在知识性和趣味性之间取得了平衡)”以及后文“While the context and background are factual and research-based, the events, plots, and sometimes characters are fictional. So historical fiction essentially gives you the best of both worlds — it is informative as well as super engaging. (它的时代背景和故事背景基于事实和研究，而情节、事件有时还有人物则是虚构的。所以历史小说本质上能让你兼得两者的好处——既富有知识性，又极具趣味性)”可知，前文点明历史小说兼顾知识性与趣味性，此空应先说明其在事实与虚构之间的平衡，G选项“Historical fiction balances, or at least tries to balance, fiction and fact. (历史小说在虚构与事实之间取得了平衡，或者至少努力实现这种平衡)”承接前文的平衡特点，且为后文的具体阐释做铺垫，符合语境。故选G项。 第三部分 语言知识运用（共三节，满分45分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 As the year drew to a close, the local high school prepared to host its annual talent show.

(所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】economic 【解析】 【详解】考查形容词。句意：大多数美国人选他当总统是因为他承诺经济更快增长、创造更多财富和拥有更光明的未来。本空修饰名词growth，应用形容词economic“经济的”，作前置定语。故填economic。 38.

(所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】should be provided##be provided 【解析】 【详解】考查虚拟语气。句意：我谦恭地请求您尽快向我提供您的姓名、地址和电话号码。request表示“请求”时，其后的宾语从句要用虚拟语气，即从句谓语用“should+动词原形”，其中should可以省略。主语“your name, your address and your telephone number”与provide“提供”之间是被动关系，要用含情态动词的被动语态，即“(should) be provided”。故填should be provided或be provided。 39.

B Like so many other ABCs (American-born Chinese) and younger first and second-generation Chinese immigrants (移民), sisters Sarah and Kaitlin Leung reached a point in their adult lives when they started to long for the Chinese food they’d grown up on, but found it really difficult to learn how to prepare it. There was such a “representation gap” as Sarah put it, in terms of what kinds of cuisines were noticeably featured in those early days of TV celebrity chefs and the newly emerging food blogosphere (博客圈). As it turns out, though, the Leungs were uniquely positioned to do something about it. Bill, the father, had spent years cooking beef at his family’s Chinese American takeout restaurant. Judy, the mom, was born and raised in Shanghai and had deep knowledge about traditional Shanghainese cooking. Meanwhile, the two sisters had grown up in the New Jersey suburbs, eating their parents’ food, but also growing in America’s own food-obsessed culture. So, in 2013, the Leungs started The Woks of Life. What distinguished their blog from others was that the intergenerational heritage of knowledge that the Leungs were so eager for was baked right into the concept — The four family members took turns posting recipes, each sharing their own favorites, tapping into their own areas of expert knowledge. Kaitlin is proud that The Woks of Life follows along the line of pioneers — folks like Joyce Chen, Martin Yan and Ming Tsai, who first started to bring Chinese home cooking into the mainstream in the US. “We feel proud that we have made a meaningful mark over the past decade, showing that there’s a huge demand for these recipes,” she says. “It’s about representation, yes, but there’s also a huge demand. Asian Americans look to reconnect with the food of their heritage.” Five years ago, you wouldn’t have been able to find a ton of Chinese recipes in the New York Times food section, Kaitlin notes. Now you can. 4. What do the underlined words “representation gap” in paragraph 1 refer to? A. The shortage of Chinese chefs. B. The lack of Chinese food recipes. C. The gap between young and old ABCs. D. The difference between chefs and bloggers. 5. What is the purpose of paragraph 2? A. To prove how unique the Leungs are. B. To tell why the Leungs prefer Chinese food. C. To stress the Leungs’ love for home cooking food. D. To show the Leungs’ advantage to start a food blog. 6. What makes The Woks of Life special? A. The concept of baking Chinese food. B. The pioneers that it follows proudly. C. The bloggers’ way of posting recipes. D. The sharing of recipes across generations. 7. What is the significance of The Woks of Life? A. It develops many new Chinese recipes. B. It links ABCs with their food tradition. C. It strengthens bonds between Americans. D. It marks the popularity of Chinese cuisine. C When you see someone take that first sip of freshly made milk tea, their face looks like pure joy. Today, millions of people enjoy this experience. Across the world, customers stormed to their favorite spots to meet with friends and enjoy sips of these tasty drinks. In the early 2000s, though, milk tea was just coming on the scene. The few brands that had successfully established themselves in the industry were dearly concerned: Would milk tea just be another fashion food? Sure, people are enjoying it today, but would they still be in a year, or five years? And with so much new excitement for this product, would people be able to tell various milk tea companies apart? These are the questions that Serenitea a Manila-based milk tea company, faced in 2014. While successfully opening 60 stores, they found themselves in a strategic fog, which led them to research into the deep, unexplored psychology of milk tea. Serenitea partnered with an agency, CIA Bootleg Manila (CBM) that specializes in digging into the deep consumer “why”. The agency conducted a series of intensive, psychological-based techniques in its market research. Specifically, they probed the consumers deeper, emotional connections to milk tea, including their earliest childhood memories of milk and tea. What they found was that milk tea was a complex topic. Their research revealed that milk tea produced three consistent psychological responses. People connected to milk through the idea of nurturing (滋养): They fondly remembered their childhood and being cared for by their mothers. Next, consumers connected tea to its healing effects. They would recall receiving tea when they had stomachache or seeing their parents drinking herbal tea for health reasons. Lastly, they associated milk tea itself with teenage fun: a guilty pleasure of their youth. They had uncovered the three psychological cornerstones (基石) of the milk tea experience: nurturing, healing, and teenage fun. This set of insights was crucial. By integrating them into the core of their brand strategy, they struck out an entirely new path. 8. What can be inferred about Serenitea from paragraph 2? A. It desired to explore the psychological truth behind milk tea. B. It had no intention to stand out from its milk tea competitors. C. It was the most successful milk tea company in the early 2000s. D. It was faced with a strategic failure in opening new stores in 2014. 9. What does the underlined word ‘probed’ in paragraph 3 mean? A. Related. B. Applied. C. Investigated. D. Displayed. 10. What will Serenitea probably NOT do with the findings from their research? A. Associate its products with health. B. Offer as many new flavors as possible. C. Redesign stores by adding caring elements. D. Create a youthful and playful brand image. 11. What can be a suitable title for the passage? A. Revealing Milk Tea Psychology B. Sharing the Pure Joy of Milk Tea C. Three Cornerstones of Milk Tea D. A New Path to Business Success D Since time immemorial, people have been searching for the fountain of youth. Surprisingly, the dream of human immortality is, according to some scientists, not so far out of reach. Professor Brian Cox, Google’s Ray Kurzweil, and Tesla head Elon Musk all agree on not only the possibility of human immortality but also that it is not too far away. The solution, they say, is something called the “technological singularity”. The singularity is a combination of humankind with computers, namely uploading the contents of one’s brain onto a hard drive. In that way, a person’s consciousness can stay alive after a physical body gets worse. This is based on the idea that a human brain is simply a machine, and there is, according to Professor Cox, “no reason at all why we cannot simulate (模拟) human intelligence” using a computer. Although Professor Cox did not say when the singularity would occur Google’s Ray Kurzweil predicts that the singularity will happen as early as 2045. By 2100, he says, human body parts will be replaceable by machine parts. Further by uploading our brains onto a computer, we will be able to toy with it, and become “able to expand the scope of our intelligence a billion-fold (十亿倍)”. Elon Musk agreed with the assessments of the other scientists, even going so far as saying that the chances that we are not in a computer simulation right now are “one in billions”. Google is preparing for a future where you can download personalities onto robots. For example, you might be able to download onto your robot a celebrity personality, or the personality of your late grandmother. The search engine giant filed a patent (专利) for this download process recently. So they definitely believe that the singularity is just around the corner. All you have to do is hold on until 2045, and soon you can effectively live in the cloud. 12. How did the writer explain the idea of ‘technological singularity’ in paragraph 3? A. By giving examples. B. By listing numbers. C. By logically reasoning. D. By giving a definition. 13. How can humankind improve by 2100 according to the text? A. Physically and intelligently. B. Emotionally and materially. C. Individually and corporately. D. Psychologically and spiritually. 14. Which of the following can Elon Musk most probably agree with? A. Computers and humankind are quite different. B. Computers are much smarter than humankind. C. Computers can never surpass humankind at all. D. Computers can be another version of humankind. 15 What’s the passage mainly about? A. The development of robots with downloadable personalities. B. The reason for using computers to simulate human intelligence. C. The possibility of achieving immortality through brain uploading. D. The impact of the technological singularity on human consciousness. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，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。 Reasons Why You Need to Read More Historical Fiction Historical fiction refers to fictional stories set in true historical contexts. This mixes the lines between reality and imagination, because it is both factual and fictional. ____16____ Here’s why. It gives you an alternative perspective to look at the past. It is a common belief that victors write history. Indeed, it is always victors who have had the last say in the documentation of facts. But through stories, which demand imagination and innovation, it is possible to rewrite histories from the perspective of those on the losing side. This allows unheard voices to get recognition, and unknown stories to be told. ____17____ It makes you more aware of the world as well as local legacies. Because historical fiction doesn’t exist in a completely made-up world and is written instead in definite places and times, it has a context. ____18____ It provides information about local as well as global histories, allowing you to better understand why certain people, communities and countries are the way they are. ____19____ Among various fiction types, historical fiction stands out as a highly informative category. This is due to the extensive and precise research it demands, creating an impressive experience that transports you to different eras. This, in turn, allows you to get a sense of a life and times so vastly different from yours. It strikes the balance between being informative and engaging. ____20____ While the context and background are factual and research-based, the events, plots, and sometimes characters are fictional. So historical fiction essentially gives you the best of both worlds — it is informative as well as super engaging. A. It makes you connect with your ancestors. B. It offers alternative perspectives to past realities. C. Alternative perspectives make you broad-minded. D. It gives you a sense of a life and times before yours. E.
