The Path to Achieving Success
Success is a destination that many people strive to reach, but the journey to it is rarely straightforward. 1 some may seem to achieve success effortlessly, the truth is that for most, it involves overcoming numerous hurdles. Whether it is in the form of academic challenges, career setbacks, or personal struggles, persistence, patience, and adaptability are required along the path to achieving success.

However, it is important to remember that doubt is a natural part of the process. 3 you keep moving forward, you can gradually build confidence. Success, after all, is not determined by how many times you fall, but by how many times you get back up.
Additionally, success is not always achieved in a linear(线性的)fashion. Many individuals find themselves 4 (face)unexpected challenges, such as economic hardships or personal crises. 5 it is the loss of a job or a health setback, these experiences can feel like major roadblocks. However, this is precisely when resilience is built. 6 who can adapt to new circumstances and continue to push forward often find that their setbacks eventually lead them to new opportunities.
Success also requires learning from mistakes. We may fail many times — in our studies or careers — and the process of failing many times 7 we achieve the ultimate success can be frustrating. However, success is not solely about avoiding failure; it is about 8 you respond to it. By analyzing your mistakes and seeking ways to improve, you gradually pave the way for future achievements.
In conclusion, the road to success is full of twists and turns, but it is the ability to navigate these challenges 9 determines whether one will finally reach their goals. 10 setbacks you encounter, staying focused and learning from each experience ensures that success is waiting for you at the end of the tunnel.

Fascinating Food Facts
Food and drink reveal much about culture and history. Here’s a look at some fascinating food facts from around the world.
Beer has long held a unique place in global culture. In ancient England, it 1 (often serve) with breakfast, while in Bavaria, it’s regarded as an essential part of the diet. Interestingly, beer commercials sometimes use washing-up liquid 2 (give) it more head (泡沫). Researchers in Denmark even discovered that beer tastes better when 3 (accompany) by music.
4 beer, there are many interesting food facts. Native Americans avoided eating turkeys, viewing them as too docile (温顺的). Turkey contains tryptophan, a chemical linked to sleepiness, possibly 5 (explain) post-Christmas naps. Meanwhile, Spam, a pink pork product, lasts indefinitely in a closed can and is often exchanged as gifts in Korea. Another enduring food is honey — it’s the only food 6 doesn’t spoil.
Rice feeds half the world, while potatoes feed the other half. Meanwhile, the U.S. sells over 200 million M&M’s daily, and Fanta Orange ranks as the third 7 (popular) soda globally. Surprisingly, the number “57” on Heinz ketchup bottles is purely decorative, created for marketing appeal. Similarly, Coca-Cola’s original description, “Esteemed Brain Tonic &Intellectual Beverage,” shows 8 imaginative advertising can be.
Dentists say chocolate can help prevent tooth decay because it contains such elements as calcium and phosphates, which are often considered tooth friendly. U.S. students in surveys 9 (choose) pizza, chicken nuggets, and burgers as favorites, while vegetables and tofu stayed among the least liked foods.
Finally, 10 many competitors offer near-identical tastes, Coca-Cola’s secret recipe is supposedly locked away in Atlanta. Famous individuals have their food preferences too — Bill Clinton enjoys chicken, while the Danish queen loves Japanese fare (日料).

Signs You Are Eating Pre-Made Food at a Restaurant
Even at fine dining restaurants, serving pre-made food is a common practice most regular customers are not aware of. So how can you know for sure your food was made 1 you ever sat down at your table? Here’s how to tell if the food you’re eating is fresh.
You may be excited to see your waitress approaching with your food not long after you order it, but the biggest sign 2 you’re dinning at a restaurant serving pre-made food is how quickly your food arrives at the table.
A freshly prepared meal that’s made for people 3 (order) takes time. What doesn’t take much time is reheating pre-made food, 4 is often done at fast-food restaurants.
An extensive menu means the chef 5 have all those ingredients on-hand, which makes it difficult to guarantee freshness along with timeliness. To solve this problem, chefs often use pre-made food. That can range from already packaged products 6 preparing the meals in advance, but either way, they’re getting a head start, and the quality of your meal may suffer from 7 .
Often enough, the establishment you 8 (dine) at is the first indicator that your meal is pre-made. Choosing a chain restaurant for your dining destination may seem like a safe choice, for you know what’s on the menu and you know 9 it’s going to taste like, no matter what city you’re in.
Say you’re at a restaurant and you order a steak. You wait in anticipation, watering at the thought of 10 (slice) into a juicy steak. Your order arrives, and it looks just like you imagined it would, except for the taste. That’s probably because your steak hit the microwave before it hit your plate!

I was sure this was the worst day of my life. Being diagnosed with Type I diabetes felt almost like a death sentence. My life changed in an instant, and I was afraid 383 not being able to cope with a chronic (慢性的) disease and terrified that I would never get to be a normal child. Little did I know that this condition would later on allow me to give back to my community through my 384 (volunteer) initiatives and pursue a career where I could help others.
The impact that my disease had on my family was profound. We all had to learn to adjust to a new reality. I knew that it was up to me to make this work, but I felt 385 (lose). After a few days, the initial shock 386 (replace) by denial, then came anger, and little by little, I later gained acceptance. By exercising determination and courage, I made a choice 387 (resist) letting it dictate who I was or what I could become.
Meanwhile, I realized that some things in life are better dealt with by having a support system. With this in mind, I looked for positions where I 388 share my experience with others and listen to their own struggles. After getting involved in various initiatives, I decided to organize a support group for those 389 are dealing with difficult situations. The group was so successful 390 I was invited to other schools to talk about the difference we made in our members.
We all have challenges in life. Looking back, 391 felt like a death sentence at first turned into a way of supporting others in my community. It 392 (prove) that the lessons we take from the setbacks we encounter can, in fact, be fundamental to later success.

Gift Giving Is About the Buyer, Not the Receiver
Many of us like to think we focus on the recipient’s needs when choosing a gift, but researchers find the process isn’t so simple. “The urge to give an unexpected, wow-worthy gift comes from the giver 1 (want) to show how much they know about the recipient and to get them something 2 surprises and delights them,” says Galak, a consumer psychologist.
“It’s as much about what the giver wants 3 making the recipient happy.” One study found givers may skip “satisfaction-maximizing gifts” and choose to give “reaction-maximizing gifts” instead. Gifts express feelings toward others but also reflect how we see 396
Self-centered motives 4 (root) in many gift choices: Concert tickets can say I want to feel closer to you. 5 (choose) a custom artwork instead of something from the wedding registry can mean I want you to believe that I understand you better than anyone else.
Sometimes, not buying a gift is a form of self-protection — we don’t want to feel like 6 we own is not good enough. “It isn’t about making you happy,” Galak explains. “It’s about making sure I don’t make myself 7 (badly) off. The goal is to avoid envy.”
“These are not choices about the recipient anymore,” Galak says. “They help the giver take pride 8 the giving process.” He has also found that people sometimes purposely give gifts they don’t believe to be best, 9 he calls “selfish prosocial (亲社会的) behavior.”

Entire Genres Were Defined by Him
The 20th century was the era of film music, and the world lost one of that century’s true giants. 1 (ask) a dozen film composers to name their heroes and you’ll get many different answers, but I would confidently bet that one name will be on every single list. The name of a true, undeniable musical genius: Ennio Morricone.
But Morricone, who died at 91, was more than a musical hero. He was an icon. What really set 2 apart were his absolutely unique sensibilities. His impact on cinema music’s culture was so strong 3 entire genres were defined by him. His 1960s compositions for Sergio Leone’s westerns, like The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, entered the popular culture so deeply that almost everyone knows their sound, even 4 being aware of it. And scores of Once Upon a Time in America redefined 5 truly emotional and purely evocative film music could aim for. His was the high mark.
His work goes beyond the movies he 6 (compose) for and will be embedded deeply in the art of film music for as long as there is film. He will be missed, but his music will not be forgotten. His voice was so strong that any composer 7 would try to imitate him would fall under its spell.
His genius was to invent his own language of film music, a language of his time, the 1960s and the 1970s, but 8 (build) on a strong classical background. His scores, shamelessly melodic, used an unknown and complex combination of instruments and sounds 9 (create) something absolutely unique that would immediately open your imagination beyond the movie. Morricone wrote scores like operas or symphonies, with passion, scope and intelligence. The way he could capture emotions, humor, suspense and nostalgia (怀旧) showed his extraordinary sense of narrative, 10 (make)him one of the finest Italian composers of the 20th century.

“Nezha 2: Return of the Demon Child” has been a huge hit since its release, attracting audiences with its 1 (thrill) plot and stunning visuals.
The story 2 (begin) right after the events of the first movie. Nezha and Ao Bing, having survived the Heavenly Tribulation (天劫), are faced 3 a new challenge. Their physical forms are on the verge of disappearing, and they must find a way to save themselves.
During their journey, Nezha and Ao Bing encounter various 4 (character) and obstacles (阻碍). They meet new friends 5 help them along the way, and also face powerful enemies who try to stop them. Nezha, with his 6 ( usual) courage and determination, never gives up. He is determined 7 (protect) his friends and change his fate.
The movie not only shows 8 power of friendship and courage, but also explores deeper themes such as 9 (responsible) and the meaning of life. It makes the audience think about 10 they would do when faced with difficulties.
With its amazing animation (动画制作) and meaningful story, “Nezha 2” has become a must-watch for both kids and adults.

007 in the Kitchen
As a man who cheerfully sing in the shower without any embarrassment, I won’t feel shameful to admit that I also love playing loud music when cooking in the kitchen. But 1 might make things a tiny little bit awkward is the type of music I play, and consequently the feelings I derive (获得) from it.
One of 2 all-time favourites is the James Bond Theme. Immersed (沉浸) in the tension it creates while chopping veggies into small pieces, I always find it impossible 3 (not picture) myself as a well-trained special agent with license to kill. And all of a sudden moving to the music without missing 4 beat seems to have a lot to do with national security.
As the music plays, the killer instinct in my blood is unleashed (被释放), which makes 5 (fry) a piece of bloody steak as easy as taking candy from a diabetic (糖尿病的)man who no longer wishes to eat candy. All I need to do is to act promptly without mercy.
However, there will be other times when the success of the whole mission counts on whether I 6 remove the bones from the fish. Believe it or not, the complexity of this process is no 7 (great) than that of defusing (拆除)a time bomb. So in this scenario, 8 giving in to the music easily, I must constantly and consciously control myself so as not to be carried away. After all, a fish-bone 9 (catch) in the throat is as uncomfortable as it can be.
Of course, in the end, 10 impossible the mission seems, like the plot of every Hollywood spy movie, the cook can always save the day.

A few days ago, I broke a long-cherished habit and turned off the BBC News at 10 p.m. after watching just a few headlines. Instead, I was starting to flick through channels for something that would make me smile, like a comedy show or anything about dogs. News of suffering in war zones followed by reports from yet another seemingly tricky conflict 1 (turn) me into a news avoider.
News avoidance around the world is growing. Researchers at Oxford University heard from respondents that the news is either too “depressing” or “boring” for them, with 39% 2 (admit) that they sometimes, or often, actively avoided the news. That’s 3 increase from 29% in 2018.
For some, news overload is to blame. The few 4 (select) updates from the past have been replaced by rolling news alerts and notifications. They often seem to be about problems without solutions, like wars in the Middle East or the climate crisis. More and more people 5 (seek) to protect their mental health by avoiding these stories. Instead, they are turning to content on social media.
6 , a far larger group, tell researchers that the news is no longer for people like them. Many of them used to keep their televisions on after their favorite show and catch the 6 o’clock news. Now the ability 7 (stream) entertainment cuts off this avenue (渠道) for awareness 8 the tabloids (小报) used to be so popular in the UK, they now have fewer readers-more and more people globally are becoming “news outsiders” or even “unnewsed.”
Despite innovations in journalism, it feels 9 our news consumption has been reduced by an algorithmic race to the bottom of digital distraction (干扰). Opinion and entertainment simply provide bigger dopamine hits than straight facts. Many of the new offerings, such as Substack posts, are also behind paywalls. This can lead to even greater fears of the divide between the information haves and have-nots.
In a world 10 we live with uncertainty and a sense of powerlessness, accurate, fact-based news has never been more important. Find time to get into new news habits. I’m planning to.

In the era of globalization, the world has become a closely-knit community. Multinational companies are constantly expanding 1 reach. Take Starbucks as an example. It has managed to integrate into different cultures 2 maintaining its brand identity.
Starbucks entered China in 1999. At first, it 3 (face) challenges as Chinese people had a long-standing tea-drinking culture. However, instead of 4 (force) its Western coffee-drinking model, the company adapted to local preferences. It introduced new beverage options like green tea-based drinks, 5 catered to the Chinese tastes. This localization strategy not only satisfied local tastes but also helped the brand gain a 6 (deep) understanding of the local market.
Moreover, Starbucks has been actively involved in community-building initiatives. It has opened stores in areas that are undergoing urban renewal. These stores serve as gathering places, where people from different backgrounds can communicate, thus promoting cross-cultural exchange. Additionally, the company has been committed to sustainable sourcing of coffee beans. By working directly with coffee farmers in various countries, Starbucks ensures the quality of its products and at the same time supports the livelihoods of small-scale farmers. This global-local approach has made Starbucks a successful example in the process of globalization. It shows 7 in the global market, companies need to be flexible and responsible to succeed.
The success of Starbucks also has an impact on the local coffee-related industries. Local coffee shops have been inspired by its business model and service standards. Some local entrepreneurs have started their own coffee ventures and tried to combine local flavors with modern coffee-making techniques. This has led 8 a growth in the domestic coffee market, creating more job opportunities and contributing to the overall economic development.
9 globalization brings many benefits in the field, it also poses challenges. For example, local coffee shops may face fierce competition from international chains like Starbucks. They need to find their unique selling points and continuously innovate 10 (survive) in the market. One of the keys to their success actually lies in how they can better understand and meet the local customers’ needs.

Hemingway’s Art of Omission (省略)
Ernest Hemingway, celebrated for his plain prose, believed that profound truths hide beneath simplicity. 1 (grow) up in Illinois, he developed a love for outdoor adventures — experiences 2 later provided raw material for his war novels.
When World War I broke out, Hemingway, rejected by the army 3 poor eyesight, volunteered as an ambulance driver. This decision marked the beginning of his lifelong fascination with exploring human courage in extreme conditions. A Farewell to Arms, published in 1929, remains one of literature’s 4 (moving) anti-war statements.
Central to his writing was the “iceberg theory” — the idea 5 omitting unnecessary details allows readers to perceive deeper meanings. In The Old Man and the Sea, Santiago’s battle with the marlin becomes a universal metaphor for perseverance. What astonished critics was how Hemingway managed 6 (convey) existential despair through deceptively simple dialogues.
Hemingway’s personal life, however, was anything but peaceful. Married four times, he struggled with depression, yet his characters, 7 often faced hardship with steady determination, showed great strength and bravery.
The writer once compared crafting fiction to bullfighting: “It’s not about describing every drop of blood, but making readers feel the horn’s shadow.” This principle explains why his stories, 8 (write) in simple language, strike emotional chords.
Today, as AI attempts to imitate his style, we 9 (remind) that Hemingway’s true legacy lies not in what he wrote, 10 in what he dared to leave unsaid — a testament to the power of disciplined silence.

SpaceX’s Starship sees the company get closer to its reusable rocket dream
On Oct 13, 2024, the US-based space tech company SpaceX successfully completed its fifth test flight of Starship, a powerful rocket, in Texas, US. This brought the company one step closer to its goal of creating reusable rockets, reported AFP.
The giant rocket is 12-meter-tall and it 1 (consist) of two parts, the Starship spacecraft at the top and the Super Heavy rocket 2 (attach) below. Around seven minutes after launch, the two separated about 70 kilometers above the ground. The rocket’s booster flew back and gradually adjusted 3 into a standing position. Then, it began to fall, as two large mechanical arms extended from the launch tower. Like a pair of chopsticks, they “caught” the 71-meter-tall booster and brought it down to a gentle stop. Later on, the spacecraft landed in the Indian Ocean as planned.
SpaceX said on its website that its engineers “spent years preparing and months testing for the booster catch attempt”. During the test, teams kept checking to ensure both the booster and the tower fit “thousands” of standards 4 any attempt to return the booster was made. Had the conditions not been satisfied, it would have been redirected for a splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico, as in previous tests.
SpaceX was founded in 2002 with the ultimate goal of helping humans settle on the moon, Mars and beyond. The company has grown rapidly into a leader in the space industry thanks to its strategy of “fail fast, learn fast”. The Starship’s first few test flights failed due to problems 5 explosions or a loss of contact. SpaceX sees failures as opportunities to gather data and speed up the creation of better systems than its competitors, 6 differs from the traditional approach of identifying and planning for potential problems before a launch, 7 practiced by organizations like NASA, which can be 8 (slow), according to The Conversation. For example, NASA’s Space Launch System-the rocket designed to take astronauts to the moon as part of the Artemis program-took over 10 years 9 (develop) before its first launch.
Starship represents an advancement over SpaceX’s earlier reusable model, Falcon 9, as Starship’s reusable rockets 10 now have their tanks refilled after a quick check and get ready for the next flight again. “Starship is designed to achieve reflight of its rocket booster ultimately within an hour after liftoff,” Elon Musk said on X.

Is Butter Bad For You?
Butter is having a moment. In 2024 American consumption per person hit its highest in almost 60 years. But a new scientific study reports that butter-eating 1 (associate) with an early death. So is butter really bad for you?
Reaching an answer involves understanding that not all fats are alike. At a chemical level, fats can be thought of 2 chains of carbon atoms; some are saturated, meaning every carbon atom clings to two hydrogen atoms, and others are unsaturated (不饱和的), meaning some carbon atoms bond to only one of hydrogen. Those structural differences can dramatically affect 3 those fats interact with the body. Saturated fats, for example, raise levels of cholesterol, a fatty molecule that gathers in arteries and can contribute to cardiovascular disease. They do this, in part, by partially disabling receptors in the liver which cause excess cholesterol 4 (extract) from the bloodstream and dumped into bile. Unsaturated fats, by contrast, actively reduce the levels of cholesterol by activating these same liver receptors.
Most of the fat in butter is of the saturated variety. It, therefore, stands to reason that butter should have a negative effect on heart health. Indeed, randomised-controlled studies offer good evidence 5 replacing butter with plant-based oil can reduce cholesterol.
There is more bad news for butter-lovers. The new study, published on March 6th, rely on data from three long-run trials of American medical professionals. For almost 33 years 220,000nurses and doctors 6 (survey) regularly about their lifestyle, diet and health. The authors found that those people who ate the most butter(averaging around one tablespoon per day) were 15% 7 (likely) to have died during the course of the study than those who avoided the stuff. By contrast, people who consumed the most plant-based oils, such as canola, soybean or olive oil — all 8 have low levels of saturated fat — were 16% less likely to die than those who consumed the least.
9 the study could not show that butter increased the risk of dying from cardiovascular diseases, consuming more plant-based oils did lower that particular risk. The authors found that 10 (replace) ten grams of butter daily with the same amount of plant-based oil appeared to reduce the cancer mortality risk by 17%.

Night owls’ cognitive function superior to early risers
For decades, the idea that early risers are more productive and have a 1 (high) cognitive (认知的) function than night owls has been widely accepted. However, a new study suggests that night owls 2 actually have a better cognitive function compared to early morning risers.
The study, 3 (conduct) in the journal Sleep, found that individuals who naturally go to bed later and sleep in later in the morning have a higher level of cognitive flexibility and attentional control.
Researchers at the University of Toronto carried out a series of experiments 4 (test) the cognitive abilities of 100 individuals, with half being classified 5 night owls and the other half as morning larks. Participants 6 (give) a series of cognitive tests, including tasks that required attention, problem-solving, and memory recall.
The study found that night owls outperformed early risers in tasks 7 required flexibility and adaptability. Night owls were also better at finding out irrelevant information and 8 (focus) on relevant cues.
Night owls also showed more creativity and open-mindedness, 9 (make) them good at jobs that need innovation and problem-solving. These findings may help to explain 10 many successful businessmen, innovators, and artists are often night owls. In contrast, early risers were better at routine tasks and following procedures, which is useful in jobs like customer service.
The study’s findings suggest that owing to the small sample size, more research is needed to confirm these findings. But it is noted that the night owls may have 11 advantage in certain areas of cognitive function.
As the study’s authors suggest, “night owls may be more likely to thrive in careers that require creativity, innovation, and adaptability, 12 early risers may excel in careers that require repetition and routine. ”

Make a difference to the environment
It is often hard to determine whether the food we eat is eco-friendly or not. However, it is clear that some types of food have a 1 (big) environmental impact than others. What can we do in our everyday lives to make 2 difference?
Firstly, we should avoid food that has travelled a long way. Food transport is a big source of CO₂, 3 causes global warming. In other words, it is best to eat food that 4 (produce) by the local people. Secondly, 5 the fast food is very convenient, we should eat less fast food for the environment. Recently, fast food has become very popular, but 6 is unfortunately very bad for the environment. Most takeaway containers will probably end up in the rubbish dump. However, we can encourage restaurants 7 (use) recycled materials to pack their meals. Thirdly, we should avoid those types of food 8 (cause) huge environmental stress. For example, now rain forests around the world are being burned down to make room for cattle farms. To protect the rainforest, we 9 eat less beef and avoid food that contains palm oil.
Pollution and climate change are global problems, so we all need to work together. The good news is that every little bit counts. By using our resources 10 a more efficient way, we can save a lot of money at the same time as we save the environment.

Repair Café
When things around the house stop working, what do you usually do with them? If you're 1 a lot of people, you probably just throw them away.
This tendency has led to the modern nickname: the throwaway culture. There are many reasons for this trend. In some areas 2 it's difficult to find people who can make repairs, fixing things can be quite expensive. Also, some small appliances are so inexpensive that it's often much 3 (easy) to just buy a new one.
In 2009, Martine Postma from the Netherlands decided there must be a better way. Her solution was Repair Cafés: places where people can take damaged or 4 (tear) items. There they will find tools, resources and volunteer experts who are willing to help with repairs.
Postma's first Repair Café opened on Oct. 18, 2009, in Amsterdam, and was a huge success. News of the café spread, and people began asking 5 they could start their own. In 2011, Postma established the Repair Café Foundation. This nonprofit organization provides guidance to those hoping to begin their own neighborhood repair group.
Today, there are roughly 2,000 Repair Cafés around the world with meetings typically 6 (occur) once a month. Around 25 objects per session are repaired. 7 is free, but donations are greatly appreciated.
Not only do the cafés provide help with repairs, they also strengthen community ties. Neighbors get to know one another as they work together on projects. In addition, valuable knowledge is passed along and preserved. Items are kept 8 thrown away, meaning less trash in landfills. 9 an average broken item weighs a kilo, it's been estimated that 2,000 Repair Cafés prevent 35,000 kilos of trash every month. That 10 (add) up to about 420,000 kilos per year!

Every year, around 30 million visitors swarm into Venice, a place of under 50,000 residents. The population has shrunk by 70 percent in the past 70 years in Venice, 1 the residents have been driven out by ballooning rents and cuts in services.
Burano—a one-square-mile island in the north lagoon—draws thousands of visitors daily. They take a 40-minute vaporetto (waterbus) ride from Venice 2 (see) the island’s candy-colored cottages and the leaning bell tower.
Now, as residents on the island, some Buranelli are fighting back, 3 (make) the island a launching ground for ecotourism. A clutch of the island’s fishermen are doubling up on their jobs—casting their nets as well as showing tourists the fragile lagoon and why it needs 4 (preserve).
Life on Burano has revolved around the water. A fishing settlement with a history 5 (date) back to the Roman era, the island’s relative separation from Venice, has kept its traditions undamaged 6 medieval times.
Yet 7 (work) with tourists is increasingly important for the fishermen’s livelihoods. Wholesale seafood prices nearly 8 (halve) during the pandemic, and although they recovered, they decreased again in late 2022.
“I’m proud of my work but I’m also aware that in a few years there won’t be anyone left 9 (do) it,” one of the local fishermen says. Numbers of both crabs and fishermen are sharply declining: “When I was a child, there were 100 moecanti on Burano; now we are 19,” he says. Climate change 10 (raise) lagoon temperatures over the last decade. While the crabs aren’t endangered, fewer of them are swimming into fishermen’s nets.

Signs You Are Eating Pre-Made Food at a Restaurant
Even at fine dining restaurants, serving pre-made food is a common practice most regular customers are not aware of. So how can you know for sure your food was made 1 you ever sat down at your table? Here’s how to tell if the food you’re eating is fresh.
You may be excited to see your waitress approaching with your food not long after you order it, but the biggest sign 2 you’re dinning at a restaurant serving pre-made food is how quickly your food arrives at the table.
A freshly prepared meal that’s made for people 3 (order) takes time. What doesn’t take much time is reheating pre-made food, 4 is often done at fast-food restaurants.
An extensive menu means the chef 5 have all those ingredients on-hand, which makes it difficult to guarantee freshness along with timeliness. To solve this problem, chefs often use pre-made food. That can range from already packaged products 6 preparing the meals in advance, but either way, they’re getting a head start, and the quality of your meal may suffer from 7 .
Often enough, the establishment you 8 (dine) at is the first indicator that your meal is pre-made. Choosing a chain restaurant for your dining destination may seem like a safe choice, for you know what’s on the menu and you know 9 it’s going to taste like, no matter what city you’re in.
Say you’re at a restaurant and you order a steak. You wait in anticipation, watering at the thought of 10 (slice) into a juicy steak. Your order arrives, and it looks just like you imagined it would, except for the taste. That’s probably because your steak hit the microwave before it hit your plate!
【答案】
1.before 2.that 3.to order 4.as/like 5.must 6.to 7.it 8.are dining 9.what 10.slicing
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章讲述如何辨别在餐厅吃的食物是预制食品。
1.考查时间状语从句。句意:所以你怎么能确定你的食物是在你坐在餐桌前做的呢?根据上文“Even at fine dining restaurants, serving pre-made food is a common practice most regular customers are not aware of.(即使在高级餐厅,供应预制食品也是大多数常客都不知道的一种常见做法)”可知,供应预制食品是很多餐厅的常见做法,故此处是问如何确定自己的食物是预制食品,即食物在你坐下来之前就已经做好了,用before引导时间状语从句,故填before。
2.考查同位语从句。句意:你可能会很兴奋地看到服务员在你点完菜后不久就拿着你的食物过来,但是你在一家供应预制食物的餐馆用餐的最大标志是你的食物上桌的速度。空处引导同位语从句,解释说明抽象名词sign的内容,从句结构、意义完整,应用that引导,故填that。
3.考查非谓语动词。句意:一顿给人新鲜烹制的点餐需要时间。结合句意可知,此处表示目的,应用动词不定式作目的状语,故填to order。
4.考查定语从句和连词。句意:不需要花太多时间的是加热预先做好的食物,就像快餐店经常做的那样。分析句子可知,空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是reheating pre-made food,关系词替代先行词在从句中作主语,有“正如,如同”之意,用关系代词as引导;此处也可使用连词like,表示“像……一样,如同”,故填as/like。
5.考查情态动词。句意:一份丰富的菜单意味着厨师必须手头上有所有的食材,这就很难保证新鲜和及时性。结合句意可知,此处指“厨师必须手头上有所有的食材”,使用情态动词must,故填must。
6.考查介词。句意:这可以是已经包装好的产品,也可以是提前准备好的饭菜,但无论哪种方式,他们都有了一个领先优势,你的食物质量可能会受到它的影响。range from…to…“从……到……变化”,固定搭配,故填to。
7.考查代词。句意同上。结合句意可知,此处指代前文“a head start”,表示单数意义,使用代词it指代,故填it。
8.考查现在进行时。句意:通常情况下,你就餐的场所是你的饭菜是预先做好的第一个标志。此处是省略关系代词的定语从句,表示“你正在用餐的场所”,从句使用现在进行时,主语是you,故填are dining。
9.考查宾语从句。句意:选择一家连锁餐厅就餐似乎是一个安全的选择,因为无论你在哪个城市,你都知道菜单上有什么,也知道它的味道。空处引导宾语从句,引导词在从句中作宾语,指物,表示“它的味道是什么”,应用连接代词what引导,故填what。
10.考查非谓语动词。句意:你满怀期待地等待着,一想到要切成一块多汁的牛排就热泪盈眶。空处作介词of的宾语,slice应用动名词形式,故填slicing。

Gift Giving Is About the Buyer, Not the Receiver
Many of us like to think we focus on the recipient’s needs when choosing a gift, but researchers find the process isn’t so simple. “The urge to give an unexpected, wow-worthy gift comes from the giver 1 (want) to show how much they know about the recipient and to get them something 2 surprises and delights them,” says Galak, a consumer psychologist.
“It’s as much about what the giver wants 3 making the recipient happy.” One study found givers may skip “satisfaction-maximizing gifts” and choose to give “reaction-maximizing gifts” instead. Gifts express feelings toward others but also reflect how we see 396
Self-centered motives 4 (root) in many gift choices: Concert tickets can say I want to feel closer to you. 5 (choose) a custom artwork instead of something from the wedding registry can mean I want you to believe that I understand you better than anyone else.
Sometimes, not buying a gift is a form of self-protection — we don’t want to feel like 6 we own is not good enough. “It isn’t about making you happy,” Galak explains. “It’s about making sure I don’t make myself 7 (badly) off. The goal is to avoid envy.”
“These are not choices about the recipient anymore,” Galak says. “They help the giver take pride 8 the giving process.” He has also found that people sometimes purposely give gifts they don’t believe to be best, 9 he calls “selfish prosocial (亲社会的) behavior.”

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了送礼行为背后的心理动机。研究发现,送礼者在选择礼物时往往更关注自身需求而非接收者的喜好,如通过礼物展示对接收者的了解或避免自身负面情绪。
1.考查非谓语动词。句意:消费心理学家加拉克(Galak)表示:“想要送出一份出人意料、令人惊叹的礼物,这种冲动源于送礼者想展示自己对收礼者的了解程度,以及为对方挑选一份能带来惊喜和愉悦的礼物。”空处需填非谓语动词形式,介词from后需接动名词形式,“the giver wanting to show...”为动名词复合结构,作from的宾语。故填wanting。

4.考查代词。句意:礼物不仅表达对他人的情感,也反映了我们如何看待自己。主语和宾语一致,需用反身代词ourselves。故填ourselves。
5.考查时态语态。句意:许多礼物选择中都根植着以自我为中心的动机:赠送音乐会门票可能意味着“我想与你更亲近”。主语与谓语构成被动关系,且陈述客观事实用一般现在时的被动语态,主语为motives,谓语用复数。故填are rooted。
6.考查非谓语动词。句意:选择定制艺术品而非婚礼登记册上的物品,可能意味着“我想让你相信我比任何人都更懂你”。句子缺少主语,用动名词choosing作主语,表示“选择定制艺术品”这一行为,句首单词首字母要大写。故填Choosing。

Entire Genres Were Defined by Him
The 20th century was the era of film music, and the world lost one of that century’s true giants. 1 (ask) a dozen film composers to name their heroes and you’ll get many different answers, but I would confidently bet that one name will be on every single list. The name of a true, undeniable musical genius: Ennio Morricone.
But Morricone, who died at 91, was more than a musical hero. He was an icon. What really set 2 apart were his absolutely unique sensibilities. His impact on cinema music’s culture was so strong 3 entire genres were defined by him. His 1960s compositions for Sergio Leone’s westerns, like The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, entered the popular culture so deeply that almost everyone knows their sound, even 4 being aware of it. And scores of Once Upon a Time in America redefined 5 truly emotional and purely evocative film music could aim for. His was the high mark.
His work goes beyond the movies he 6 (compose) for and will be embedded deeply in the art of film music for as long as there is film. He will be missed, but his music will not be forgotten. His voice was so strong that any composer 7 would try to imitate him would fall under its spell.
His genius was to invent his own language of film music, a language of his time, the 1960s and the 1970s, but 8 (build) on a strong classical background. His scores, shamelessly melodic, used an unknown and complex combination of instruments and sounds 9 (create) something absolutely unique that would immediately open your imagination beyond the movie. Morricone wrote scores like operas or symphonies, with passion, scope and intelligence. The way he could capture emotions, humor, suspense and nostalgia (怀旧) showed his extraordinary sense of narrative, 10 (make)him one of the finest Italian composers of the 20th century.

7.考查定语从句。句意:他的声音非常有力,任何试图模仿他的作曲家都会被他的声音迷住。分析句子可知,设空处引导定语从句,先行词是 any composer,指人,在从句中作主语,所以用who引导。故填who。
8.考查非谓语动词。句意:他的天才之处在于创造了他自己的电影音乐语言,一种他那个时代的语言,一种20世纪60年代和70年代的语言,但建立在强大的古典背景之上。分析句子可知,这里是过去分词作后置定语,修饰 a language,a language和build之间是被动关系,所以用built,表示“建立在强大古典背景上的一种语言”。故填built。

One of 2 all-time favourites is the James Bond Theme. Immersed (沉浸) in the tension it creates while chopping veggies into small pieces, I always find it impossible 3 (not picture) myself as a well-trained special agent with license to kill. And all of a sudden moving to the music without missing 4 beat seems to have a lot to do with national security.
As the music plays, the killer instinct in my blood is unleashed (被释放), which makes 5 (fry) a piece of bloody steak as easy as taking candy from a diabetic (糖尿病的)man who no longer wishes to eat candy. All I need to do is to act promptly without mercy.
However, there will be other times when the success of the whole mission counts on whether I 6 remove the bones from the fish. Believe it or not, the complexity of this process is no 7 (great) than that of defusing (拆除)a time bomb. So in this scenario, 8 giving in to the music easily, I must constantly and consciously control myself so as not to be carried away. After all, a fish-bone 9 (catch) in the throat is as uncomfortable as it can be.
Of course, in the end, 10 impossible the mission seems, like the plot of every Hollywood spy movie, the cook can always save the day.

(24-25高一下·上海·期中)Directions: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word;for the other blanks. use one word that best fits each blank.
A few days ago, I broke a long-cherished habit and turned off the BBC News at 10 p.m. after watching just a few headlines. Instead, I was starting to flick through channels for something that would make me smile, like a comedy show or anything about dogs. News of suffering in war zones followed by reports from yet another seemingly tricky conflict 1 (turn) me into a news avoider.
News avoidance around the world is growing. Researchers at Oxford University heard from respondents that the news is either too “depressing” or “boring” for them, with 39% 2 (admit) that they sometimes, or often, actively avoided the news. That’s 3 increase from 29% in 2018.
For some, news overload is to blame. The few 4 (select) updates from the past have been replaced by rolling news alerts and notifications. They often seem to be about problems without solutions, like wars in the Middle East or the climate crisis. More and more people 5 (seek) to protect their mental health by avoiding these stories. Instead, they are turning to content on social media.
6 , a far larger group, tell researchers that the news is no longer for people like them. Many of them used to keep their televisions on after their favorite show and catch the 6 o’clock news. Now the ability 7 (stream) entertainment cuts off this avenue (渠道) for awareness 8 the tabloids (小报) used to be so popular in the UK, they now have fewer readers-more and more people globally are becoming “news outsiders” or even “unnewsed.”
Despite innovations in journalism, it feels 9 our news consumption has been reduced by an algorithmic race to the bottom of digital distraction (干扰). Opinion and entertainment simply provide bigger dopamine hits than straight facts. Many of the new offerings, such as Substack posts, are also behind paywalls. This can lead to even greater fears of the divide between the information haves and have-nots.
In a world 10 we live with uncertainty and a sense of powerlessness, accurate, fact-based news has never been more important. Find time to get into new news habits. I’m planning to.

6.考查副词。句意:然而,一个更大的群体告诉研究人员,新闻不再是为像他们这样的人准备的。上文讲有些人是因为新闻过载而回避新闻,此处讲更大群体回避新闻的原因是新闻不再适合他们,前后是转折关系,且空格后有逗号,用副词however,句首单词首字母大写。故填However。
7.考查非谓语动词。句意:现在,流媒体娱乐的能力切断了这种了解新闻的途径。“(stream) entertainment”是后置定语,修饰名词ability,其后常用不定式作后置定语,表示“……的能力”。故填to stream。

9.考查固定句型。句意:尽管新闻业不断创新,但我们的新闻消费似乎已被一场追逐流量至底的算法竞赛所削弱,深陷数字分心的泥潭。“our news consumption has been reduced by an algorithmic race to the bottom of digital distraction (干扰)”是表语从句,从句句意完整,不缺成分,用连词that引导。故填that。
10.考查定语从句。句意:在一个我们生活在不确定性和无力感中的世界里,准确、基于事实的新闻从未如此重要。“_____ we live with uncertainty and a sense of powerlessness”是定语从句,修饰先行词a world,关系词在从句中作地点状语,用关系副词where引导该从句。故填where。

Hemingway’s Art of Omission (省略)
Ernest Hemingway, celebrated for his plain prose, believed that profound truths hide beneath simplicity. 1 (grow) up in Illinois, he developed a love for outdoor adventures — experiences 2 later provided raw material for his war novels.
When World War I broke out, Hemingway, rejected by the army 3 poor eyesight, volunteered as an ambulance driver. This decision marked the beginning of his lifelong fascination with exploring human courage in extreme conditions. A Farewell to Arms, published in 1929, remains one of literature’s 4 (moving) anti-war statements.
Central to his writing was the “iceberg theory” — the idea 5 omitting unnecessary details allows readers to perceive deeper meanings. In The Old Man and the Sea, Santiago’s battle with the marlin becomes a universal metaphor for perseverance. What astonished critics was how Hemingway managed 6 (convey) existential despair through deceptively simple dialogues.
Hemingway’s personal life, however, was anything but peaceful. Married four times, he struggled with depression, yet his characters, 7 often faced hardship with steady determination, showed great strength and bravery.
The writer once compared crafting fiction to bullfighting: “It’s not about describing every drop of blood, but making readers feel the horn’s shadow.” This principle explains why his stories, 8 (write) in simple language, strike emotional chords.
Today, as AI attempts to imitate his style, we 9 (remind) that Hemingway’s true legacy lies not in what he wrote, 10 in what he dared to leave unsaid — a testament to the power of disciplined silence.

SpaceX’s Starship sees the company get closer to its reusable rocket dream
On Oct 13, 2024, the US-based space tech company SpaceX successfully completed its fifth test flight of Starship, a powerful rocket, in Texas, US. This brought the company one step closer to its goal of creating reusable rockets, reported AFP.
The giant rocket is 12-meter-tall and it 1 (consist) of two parts, the Starship spacecraft at the top and the Super Heavy rocket 2 (attach) below. Around seven minutes after launch, the two separated about 70 kilometers above the ground. The rocket’s booster flew back and gradually adjusted 3 into a standing position. Then, it began to fall, as two large mechanical arms extended from the launch tower. Like a pair of chopsticks, they “caught” the 71-meter-tall booster and brought it down to a gentle stop. Later on, the spacecraft landed in the Indian Ocean as planned.
SpaceX said on its website that its engineers “spent years preparing and months testing for the booster catch attempt”. During the test, teams kept checking to ensure both the booster and the tower fit “thousands” of standards 4 any attempt to return the booster was made. Had the conditions not been satisfied, it would have been redirected for a splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico, as in previous tests.
SpaceX was founded in 2002 with the ultimate goal of helping humans settle on the moon, Mars and beyond. The company has grown rapidly into a leader in the space industry thanks to its strategy of “fail fast, learn fast”. The Starship’s first few test flights failed due to problems 5 explosions or a loss of contact. SpaceX sees failures as opportunities to gather data and speed up the creation of better systems than its competitors, 6 differs from the traditional approach of identifying and planning for potential problems before a launch, 7 practiced by organizations like NASA, which can be 8 (slow), according to The Conversation. For example, NASA’s Space Launch System-the rocket designed to take astronauts to the moon as part of the Artemis program-took over 10 years 9 (develop) before its first launch.
Starship represents an advancement over SpaceX’s earlier reusable model, Falcon 9, as Starship’s reusable rockets 10 now have their tanks refilled after a quick check and get ready for the next flight again. “Starship is designed to achieve reflight of its rocket booster ultimately within an hour after liftoff,” Elon Musk said on X.

Is Butter Bad For You?
Butter is having a moment. In 2024 American consumption per person hit its highest in almost 60 years. But a new scientific study reports that butter-eating 1 (associate) with an early death. So is butter really bad for you?
Reaching an answer involves understanding that not all fats are alike. At a chemical level, fats can be thought of 2 chains of carbon atoms; some are saturated, meaning every carbon atom clings to two hydrogen atoms, and others are unsaturated (不饱和的), meaning some carbon atoms bond to only one of hydrogen. Those structural differences can dramatically affect 3 those fats interact with the body. Saturated fats, for example, raise levels of cholesterol, a fatty molecule that gathers in arteries and can contribute to cardiovascular disease. They do this, in part, by partially disabling receptors in the liver which cause excess cholesterol 4 (extract) from the bloodstream and dumped into bile. Unsaturated fats, by contrast, actively reduce the levels of cholesterol by activating these same liver receptors.
Most of the fat in butter is of the saturated variety. It, therefore, stands to reason that butter should have a negative effect on heart health. Indeed, randomised-controlled studies offer good evidence 5 replacing butter with plant-based oil can reduce cholesterol.
There is more bad news for butter-lovers. The new study, published on March 6th, rely on data from three long-run trials of American medical professionals. For almost 33 years 220,000nurses and doctors 6 (survey) regularly about their lifestyle, diet and health. The authors found that those people who ate the most butter(averaging around one tablespoon per day) were 15% 7 (likely) to have died during the course of the study than those who avoided the stuff. By contrast, people who consumed the most plant-based oils, such as canola, soybean or olive oil — all 8 have low levels of saturated fat — were 16% less likely to die than those who consumed the least.
9 the study could not show that butter increased the risk of dying from cardiovascular diseases, consuming more plant-based oils did lower that particular risk. The authors found that 10 (replace) ten grams of butter daily with the same amount of plant-based oil appeared to reduce the cancer mortality risk by 17%.

Night owls’ cognitive function superior to early risers
For decades, the idea that early risers are more productive and have a 1 (high) cognitive (认知的) function than night owls has been widely accepted. However, a new study suggests that night owls 2 actually have a better cognitive function compared to early morning risers.
The study, 3 (conduct) in the journal Sleep, found that individuals who naturally go to bed later and sleep in later in the morning have a higher level of cognitive flexibility and attentional control.
Researchers at the University of Toronto carried out a series of experiments 4 (test) the cognitive abilities of 100 individuals, with half being classified 5 night owls and the other half as morning larks. Participants 6 (give) a series of cognitive tests, including tasks that required attention, problem-solving, and memory recall.
The study found that night owls outperformed early risers in tasks 7 required flexibility and adaptability. Night owls were also better at finding out irrelevant information and 8 (focus) on relevant cues.
Night owls also showed more creativity and open-mindedness, 9 (make) them good at jobs that need innovation and problem-solving. These findings may help to explain 10 many successful businessmen, innovators, and artists are often night owls. In contrast, early risers were better at routine tasks and following procedures, which is useful in jobs like customer service.
The study’s findings suggest that owing to the small sample size, more research is needed to confirm these findings. But it is noted that the night owls may have 11 advantage in certain areas of cognitive function.
As the study’s authors suggest, “night owls may be more likely to thrive in careers that require creativity, innovation, and adaptability, 12 early risers may excel in careers that require repetition and routine. ”

Make a difference to the environment
It is often hard to determine whether the food we eat is eco-friendly or not. However, it is clear that some types of food have a 1 (big) environmental impact than others. What can we do in our everyday lives to make 2 difference?
Firstly, we should avoid food that has travelled a long way. Food transport is a big source of CO₂, 3 causes global warming. In other words, it is best to eat food that 4 (produce) by the local people. Secondly, 5 the fast food is very convenient, we should eat less fast food for the environment. Recently, fast food has become very popular, but 6 is unfortunately very bad for the environment. Most takeaway containers will probably end up in the rubbish dump. However, we can encourage restaurants 7 (use) recycled materials to pack their meals. Thirdly, we should avoid those types of food 8 (cause) huge environmental stress. For example, now rain forests around the world are being burned down to make room for cattle farms. To protect the rainforest, we 9 eat less beef and avoid food that contains palm oil.
Pollution and climate change are global problems, so we all need to work together. The good news is that every little bit counts. By using our resources 10 a more efficient way, we can save a lot of money at the same time as we save the environment.

Repair Café
When things around the house stop working, what do you usually do with them? If you're 1 a lot of people, you probably just throw them away.
This tendency has led to the modern nickname: the throwaway culture. There are many reasons for this trend. In some areas 2 it's difficult to find people who can make repairs, fixing things can be quite expensive. Also, some small appliances are so inexpensive that it's often much 3 (easy) to just buy a new one.
In 2009, Martine Postma from the Netherlands decided there must be a better way. Her solution was Repair Cafés: places where people can take damaged or 4 (tear) items. There they will find tools, resources and volunteer experts who are willing to help with repairs.
Postma's first Repair Café opened on Oct. 18, 2009, in Amsterdam, and was a huge success. News of the café spread, and people began asking 5 they could start their own.
