Then Jeff noticed steam shooting out of the pot and the lid starting to shake.The next minute, the porridge boiled over and put out the fire.Jenna panicked.Thankfully, Jeff stayed calm and turned off the gas quickly.But the stove was a mess now.Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they could continue to cook the rest of the porridge.But Jeff's hand touched the hot burner and he gave a cry of pain.Jenna made him put his hand in cold water.Then she caught the smell of burning.Oh dear! The piece of bread in the pan had turned black as well.

While tea may have its origins in Asia, now it has found its way into their food culture and traditions in many countries.It is a special way of connecting people all over the world in different ways and ceremonies.That finally all results in a group of people sitting together and enjoying a cup of tea.
Chinese tea culture
Since China is considered as the birthplace of tea, it is no wonder that Chinese tea culture is rich in history and tradition.Today, Chinese tea continues to be used in Chinese medicine and is commonly used on both formal and informal occasions either for personal enjoyment or as a Chinese cultural tradition.
Japanese tea culture
Japan also has a long history with tea, especially Japanese Matcha, which is a kind of ground green tea.Japanese tea is commonly used in Japanese tea ceremonies and only in recent years has become popular in Western culture.
British tea culture
When it comes to British tea, British tea culture is what comes to mind.A hot cup of Earl Grey tea often serves with a little milk and a biscuit in the afternoon as a pick-me-up for the day, which makes you feel better and more energetic.Even though tea may not be native to England, this British tea tradition is still going strong today.
Moroccan tea culture
When you visit Morocco, it is hard to miss the outstanding tea culture that is such a special way to welcome guests.Before any gathering, a pot of mint (薄荷) tea is always prepared and served among the host and guests.This is an expression of Moroccan tradition and kindness, which should always be accepted by guests as a sign of appreciation and respect to the host.

One day in elementary school, a friend asked me “What are you eating?” as she glanced at my lunchbox.“It smells,” she said, nose crinkled.
I was eating bhindi roti, my favorite Indian snack, which my mom had packed for me.But feeling embarrassed for having a “smelly” lunch and wanting to fit in, I quietly shut my lunchbox.That day, I went hungry.
Most days after that, lunchtime at school felt like a battle.If I wasn't trying to hide my lunch or sneak quick bites when no one was looking, I'd insist on bringing in the same peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich as the other kids.My mom, who didn't grow up eating American food, tried her best, but the sandwiches never looked, or tasted as good as the food I devoured (津津有味地吃) at home.
I didn't know that I wasn't alone.Many kids with immigrant parents encounter (遭遇) what's known as “the lunchbox moment” at school: the experience of being judged for bringing in food considered culturally different and so being made to feel like an outsider.
For this article, I talked with kids who could relate.But they also surprised me:They dealt with “the lunchbox moment” differently than I did.For example, Satya Singh, 6, who takes her mom's Indian cooking to lunch most days, told me that one day a classmate said that her aloo, or potatoes, looked like poop.Another time, someone said that the dal, or lentils looked like “throw up”.The next day, Satya brought enough dal to share with her entire class — and they loved it.From then on, she says, “My teacher at school made a rule: Don't yuck someone's yum.”
Looking back, I wish I'd had the wisdom of Satya and offered my friend a bite of my lunch, or just told her it was delicious — especially because now, as an adult, I see that Indian food is universally loved by my friends.Some even try to cook Indian lentils or chickpeas at home! And when I'm hungry, guess what? I miss my mom's bhindi roti and her care in making it for me.Food is an expression of culture, tradition, family and love.And that's something to celebrate, not hide.
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章从作者亲身经历讲到移民家庭孩子在学校吃自带午餐(印度菜)的困境,然后讲到Satya Singh怎么积极应对午餐时刻,最后指出食物是用来庆祝的,不是用来隐藏的。
4.Why did the author go hungry one day in elementary school?

C
Food has always been an integral part of human culture. The way we prepare, consume, and share food reflects our traditions, values, and beliefs.
When people from different cultures come together, food becomes a powerful tool for cultural exchange. It allows individuals to share their cooking traditions, learn about new flavors, and appreciate the diversity of cuisines.
One example of how food bridges cultural gaps is the popularity of ethnic restaurants. These establishments offer a taste of different cultures, allowing people to explore new cuisines and experience the traditions related to them. Whether it's a Mexican taqueria, an Indian curry house or a Chinese restaurant, they provide a platform where customers can try new dishes, learn about the ingredients and cooking techniques, and gain a deeper understanding of the culture behind the food.
Culinary events also play a crucial role in promoting cultural exchange. These gatherings bring together people from diverse backgrounds, showcasing the richness and diversity of different cuisines. Visitors can try a wide range of dishes, attend cooking demonstrations (演示), and engage in conversations with chefs and food enthusiasts. These events create a sense of community and help develop cross-cultural understanding.
Moreover, the act of cooking and sharing food can be a powerful way to connect with others. When we invite someone into our homes and cook a meal for them, we are not only providing their bodies with energy but also sharing a part of our cultural identity. Through food, we can communicate our values, traditions, and heritage. It allows us to break down barriers and build relationships based on mutual respect and appreciation.
In today's globalized world, where people from different cultures often live side by side, food becomes even more important in bridging cultural gaps. It provides a common ground where people can come together, celebrate their differences, and find commonalities.

D
In every corner of the globe, there exist people from different religions, different regions, different ethnic identities who speak different languages, and celebrate different holidays.
Culture shapes our identity. It influences how we behave, and it makes us who we are. Culture brings people together equally in celebration and in grief. Without culture and cultural diversity, the world would be a sad and dull place. Cultural diversity is a system that recognizes and respects the existence and presence of diverse groups of people within a society.
Recognizing that the world is made up of many different people from different backgrounds and cultures is the first step towards a more understanding and harmonious society. Difference is not what divides us, but rather it should be celebrated as something that unites us as humans.
Through diverse cultures, we can explore and understand how other cultures operate and function. Opening our eyes to the existence of diverse cultures allows us to see the world from others' points of view. We can see more, appreciate more, and understand more. Understanding is a crucial step before appreciating. It is the same for understanding different cultures around the world. Even if we're unable to understand why certain cultures do the things they do, we're able to acknowledge it as their custom.
However, total acceptance needs wisdom and awareness. Some cultures and cultural practices may disturb human rights in the general society's view. We must work towards educating the public with a respect for the community that culture or cultural practices belong to. When diversity is taught early in kids' lives, they are more likely to communicate and interact with people of any background or culture. At the same time, we must educate ourselves about the pros and cons of cultural diversity so that the change we want to make won't be one-sided or go against anyone's rights.

√
13.What does the underlined word “crucial” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.Key. B.Simple.
C.Quick. D.Perfect.
解析:词义猜测题。根据第四段中的“Through diverse cultures ... from others' points of view.”可知,接受文化的多样性可以使我们看到不同文化的存在,可以让我们从别人的角度看世界。因而,理解和接受文化的多样性是欣赏其他文化的关键。所以画线词在此处意为“关键的”。
√
14.Why should kids be taught diversity early?

Why do people love it?
__16__ Xuanwu Lake provides a peaceful escape right in central Nanjing, with temples, teahouses and restaurants located in nearby Xuanwu Lake Park.Unlike city walls in Beijing or Xi'an, Nanjing's old wall isn't geometric and instead contours the lake and mountain areas. __17__ The sense of surprise delivered by these central natural expanses, like the Yangtze River, Zhongshan Mountain range and Xuanwu Lake, is what new residents love about living here.
What's it like living here?
For those who miss the foods of home, there's no shortage of foreign restaurants and cafes that cater to expats and international students.__18__ Nanjing has an efficient and expansive metro system that covers most of the city, but cycling is also an option, with bike-friendly wide and straight roads.
Residents rave about how affordable Nanjing is compared to other Chinese cities, especially when it comes to housing.__19__ That said, the weather can be rough in winter, since most buildings lack central heating.Summers are also very hot and humid.
In general, a certain traditionalism and conservatism can be felt more strongly here than in other Chinese cities, which can make it more of a challenge to make local friends quickly.The language and cultural barrier tends to be high.__20__
A.Getting around the city is easy.
B.The city also has plenty of low-key and live-music clubs.
C.As a result, natural sites often appear in unexpected areas of the city.
D.If you want to experience more of Nanjing's past, the streets of Lao Men Dong are a must-see.
E.So learning and speaking Mandarin Chinese can help with integrating into the local community.
F.Rent for an 85-sq-m apartment is more than 50% cheaper than Beijing and 65% less than Shanghai.
G.Though home to 8.3 million people, Nanjing is one of the few big cities left in China to offer easy access to peace.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了南京的历史并说明了其受欢迎的原因。

18.选A 根据后文“Nanjing has an efficient ...most of the city”可知,A项符合语境。后文是对选项的具体解释。easy与后文Nanjing has an efficient and expansive metro system相呼应。
19.选F 根据前文“Residents rave about ...when it comes to housing.”可知,F项符合语境,具体解释上文。其中more than 50% cheaper than Beijing and 65% less than Shanghai与前文中affordable形成呼应关系。
20.选E 根据前文“The language and cultural barrier tends to be high.”可知,E项符合语境,前后句为因果关系。其中learning and speaking Mandarin Chinese与前文The language and cultural barrier相呼应。

Then on a March morning, a friend's post caught my __22__, which said, “Let go of anything __23__ and all activities that do not mirror your brightest intentions.”
The post kept returning to my mind throughout the day. I knew my life at that point was not authentic. It was at the __24__ of my farm-game obsession. I, along with my friends, played FarmVille. I had five different farms in five different games. All in __25__ forms, of course. After a day's __26__ on the words, I decided to write them on a piece of paper and taped it on my laptop.
One afternoon, I glanced down at the words taped on my keyboard. Then I __27__, and saw the empty backyard outside the window. Here I was taping away on the __28__, while a half-acre lot outside the window lay __29__. Suddenly, I was struck by a(n) __30__ — it was the time to __31__ what the words said to my life.
I __32__ all inauthentic activities that I used to be obsessed with. FarmVille and the other four farms were left to wither (凋零) away. __33__, I turned to work in my newly-claimed garden. That __34__ I'd copied became a mirror I used to __35__ how I spent my time and energy. Thanks to the words, I eventually have a life filled with activities and people that enrich and fulfill me.

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。
Steve was the most amazing person in all of Minneapolis, and he was my cousin.When Steve asked me to go with him on a spring fishing trip in northern Minnesota, I was excited!
After planning the trip, we began our great adventure.We reached the Superior National Forest in northern Minnesota by early evening.On our way to the campsite, Steve pointed to a small house far away in one of the mountains, saying that it was the ranger station (护林站) where the forester (护林人) worked.
After a long walk, we reached the campsite and set up the camp as the sun was setting.After we gathered enough wood from the forest, Steve started the campfire using only stone and steel — no matches.For supper we feasted on freeze-dried beef, wild rice and pea soup.I ate greedily after all that work.
Tired enough, we climbed into our sleeping bags early and talked about our plans for fishing the next day.We were still talking quietly when a sudden north wind picked up; the temperature dropped and it began to snow.Steve found a way to increase the temperature inside the tent.He dragged a log (原木) from the forest to the opposite side of the campfire.Then he wrapped aluminum foil (铝箔) around the log.The heat from the fire reflected off the foil and into the tent.Soon images of lake fish were filling my dreams.
The snow had stopped, but sometime later a powerful wind must have kicked up the flames of our dying fire.I was abruptly awakened by Steve.Our tent was on fire.Frightened, I ran out of the tent immediately.The tent collapsed (倒塌) with Steve inside.Without any thought of endangering myself, I reached into the burning tent and pulled him to a place near the icy lake.Fortunately, we were not seriously hurt.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
Later, as we stood by the burning tent to keep warm, we considered our difficult situation.__________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Suddenly, we heard a noise in the forest. _____________________
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
参考范文:
Later, as we stood by the burning tent to keep warm, we considered our difficult situation. Everything we had was burned to ashes! What kept us company was the freezing wind that ruthlessly whipped my face, gradually devouring the last bit of the remaining hope in my heart.I shivered involuntarily at the thought of spending a tentless night at the isolated campsite.Looking sideways, I saw Steve standing rooted to the spot, an expression of determination registering on his face, as if he was finding out a way out.
Suddenly, we heard a noise in the forest. I sprang to my feet and took a step backward, my heart pounding fiercely.Just then, a figure walked from the direction of the noise.Straining my eyes, I endeavored to make out who it was.Abruptly, Steve exclaimed in an exhilarated voice, “It is the forester from the ranger station!” My initial worry and fright gave way to relief and gratitude.When led out of the forest, Steve and I thanked him again and again.What an unforgettable adventure!
