But this winter I’m extremely concerned about my health. W: Okay. I’m not sure we have an electric juicer though. M: Don’t worry, I’ve ordered one online. It was on sale. By the way, I also noticed good knives on sale in the nearby store. Should we get a new set of kitchen knives? W: Oh, yes. M: Great, I’ll get them tomorrow on my way back from Lily’s school.

C 【原文】W: Hey, Alex, have you tried those new pre-made meals from the campus store? They taste so good. M: Yeah, I have. They’re really convenient, especially during exam time. But not as good as home cooking. W: True, but do you think they’re healthy? I read an article about food safety. It said we should be careful with processed foods, though they are yummy. M: That’s a good point. I guess they might have additives to keep them fresh longer. Not exactly harmful, but healthy? It seems unlikely. W: That’s right. Sometimes it’s better to cook from the beginning just to know what’s in your food. Maybe we could try meal preparing on weekends? It could be a healthier option. M: Great idea. We can make dishes we like and control what goes into them. W: Let’s plan to do that. It could be a fun activity, and we’ll eat better, too. M: Definitely. Let’s start this weekend. We can share recipes and tips.+ 听下面一段对话，回答以下小题。 7. Why will the speakers eat out tonight? A. They can’t cook at home. B. They don’t feel like cooking. C. They want to eat some different food. 8.

W: Then we can go to the Italian restaurant or the French restaurant. M: I prefer the latter. W: It’s fine with me. The restaurant is a bit far. Will we drive or take a taxi there?

Therefore, I tried some tea but it wasn’t to my taste. W: My parents are tea farmers. The experience of growing up in a tea producing family has given me a deep appreciation for tea. M: I see. Do you drink tea every day? W: No, I used to drink strong tea after three meals every day, but my dentist said drinking too much strong tea may do harm to my teeth, so I only drink a cup of tea on weekday mornings. 听下面一段对话，回答以下小题。 19.

But we are out of vegetable oil. M: Okay, I’ll go and get some now. 听下面一段对话，回答以下小题。 28. What gave Maria the motivation to reduce food waste? A. A friend’s suggestion. B. A report about hunger. C.

W: Oh, last month I read my friend’s social studies report, saying that a lot of people around the world go hungry while we waste tons of food every day. It really made me think. M: That’s a good point. What changes have you made in your daily life? W: Well, when I go shopping, I always make a list first. I check what’s in my fridge and write down only the things I need. That way, I don’t buy more than I can eat. M: What about leftover food after meals? W: If there’s any left, I put it in containers and store it properly. The next day, I try to make new dishes with it. For example, leftover vegetables can be used in soups. M: That sounds smart. But it must be hard to get used to. W: At first, it was. But now it’s become my habit. And it’s not just good for the environment — it also saves me money on groceries. 听下面一段对话，回答以下小题。 32. When does the conversation take place? A. Before ordering. B.

I think we should talk to the manager before leaving. M: Definitely. This level of service isn’t acceptable for such a reputable restaurant. W: Let’s do that. Maybe they can improve service for future diners. And it could help them understand what went wrong tonight. M: Good idea. I’ll ask for the manager once we finish our meal. W: It’s important to address these issues constructively rather than just leaving without saying anything. M: Absolutely, Amanda. 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。 35. Why does the speaker give the talk? A.

I really hope tonight’s talk will open the door to a new culture for you. Thailand is known for its rich culture and traditions, and one of the most fascinating aspects of Thai culture is the art of fruit carving. Fruit carving is an important part of the Thai New Year holiday table, but you might see fruit carvings at other holidays like Christmas or the Floating Lantern Festival. This ancient art form dates back to the 14th century, and it has been passed down from generation to generation. Fruit carving is practiced in both Thailand and Japan, but the earliest known fruit carving was found in China. Fruits were carved both for decorative purposes and for the food to look more appealing before it was eaten. Thai fruit carving is not only a beautiful art form, but it is also a way to celebrate the beauty and abundance of nature. Now, if you just pick up the cucumber in front of you and one of the medium-sized knives, I’ll show you how to turn that boring cucumber into a beautiful leaf. 听下面一段对话，回答以下小题。 39.

Last time I didn’t arrive early enough and ended up with a terrible seat in the front row. Believe me, it was one of the worst movie experiences ever. M: Yeah, I hate sitting in the front row, too. W: By the way, it was really thoughtful of you to get this ticket for me. I really appreciate it. Why don’t I buy you some popcorn and a drink? What kind of soda do you want? M: Let me see. I’ll take a large Coke. As for the popcorn, medium size will do. Thanks a lot. W: I’d better get going. You hold my place and I’ll be back as quickly as possible. Oh, in case you get in before I get back, just save me a seat and I’ll meet you inside. M: Got it. 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。 42. Where did the speaker start drinking coffee? A. In Korea. B. In China. C. In Russia. 43. Why did the speaker go to China in 2022? A. For a big party. B. For her work. C. For her study. 44. In what way did coffee make an impact on the speaker’s college life? A. It refreshed her when she prepared for her finals. B. It made up for the lack of hot black tea. C. It helped her make some friends. 42. A 43. C 44. C 【原文】 When I first came to Shanghai in March, 2019, I had no idea that Shanghai had the title of the capital of coffee in China, which was a pleasant surprise for me. Before coming to China, I spent several years living in Seoul, Korea, which also has its own well-developed coffee culture. In Russia, I never had the chance to develop a taste for coffee since our daily drink is hot black tea. After arriving in Seoul, I discovered there were extremely limited options available for tea drinkers. So slowly, I started drinking coffee instead. After I came to China again in September 2022 to study at Shanghai Jiaotong University, I soon developed a routine with two other international students. During the lunch break, we would have a cup of coffee at the campus cafe every day. Perhaps drawn by this positive energy, more students joined us day by day, and our group of three became a big party. Coffee united us as we greeted newcomers and got acquainted with other local students. I feel this is how the coffee culture works here to make us a little bit happier and to warm us up when we feel cold or lonely. 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。 45. What is Jacob Brown famous for? A. Serving unique meals. B. Creating accessible recipes. C. Promoting environmental campaigns. 46. What is one reason for Jacob Brown’s adoption of jellyfish? A. Meeting people’s nutritional needs. B. Observing new environmental rules. C. Appealing to customers’ preferences. 47. What is the rule about jellyfish in New Zealand? A. Jellyfish import is prohibited. B. Companies can’t use local species. C. Personal fishing of jellyfish is illegal. 45. A 46. A 47. B 【原文】 A New Zealand chef is using his cooking skills to serve an unusual menu. Jacob Brown is an award winning chef in New Zealand who also cares about the environment. Since opening a popular restaurant with his wife, Sarah Bullock, he has earned a reputation for shifting local diners’ preferences toward unusual foods. A couple of years ago, Brown decided to add jellyfish to his highly experimental menu. The move was partly inspired by the growing numbers of jellyfish along New Zealand’s shores. A phenomenon linked to warmer sea temperatures and also by rising public demand for more protein options. The problem is that Brown has to import jellyfish from South Korea. Rules in New Zealand mean that while it’s perfectly legal for an individual to use local species for personal meals, companies aren’t allowed to do the same. Despite these barriers, Brown hopes that the growing popularity of the seafood will change this rule, as well as what people think about eating different ocean species. 听下面一段对话，回答以下小题。 48.

M: I felt thirsty after running and I drank two cans of coke. W: Coke is not good for our health. M: Hmm, I felt hungry again and ate a pineapple pudding.

What's the main food for American astronauts? A. Fast food. B. Liquid food. C. Organic food. 53. Which country offers its astronauts roasted pork? A. Russia. B. China. C. America. 54. How many countries is the mentioned space food from? A. Four. B. Five. C. Six. 51. B 52. A 53. B 54. A 【原文】W: What do astronauts eat in space? Well, different countries have different recipes. Now let's take a look at them. During the early 1960s, Russia developed the earliest space food which can only be sucked, but astronauts still felt hungry after eating them. To solve the problem, more satisfying food has been gradually created. Now Russian astronauts can enjoy a variety of food similar to on earth, such as black bread, honey cake, ham, Russian cheese and so on, with a spoon or fork rather than a straw. For those American astronauts, fast food is always their main food. Their recipe includes sausage pies, spicy grilled fish, butter bread, tuna salad and drinks. Like always, Japanese have expressed their unique cultural identity through their space food. Most of them are traditional Japanese food, including rice balls, tomato fish, curry noodles, mountain vegetables, etc. As a country with a great history, China has adopted their food therapy theory into adjusting astronauts' physical conditions. For example, when the astronauts lack appetite, they can eat specially-made porridge. Also Chinese astronauts can have more delicious food like spiced beef, roasted pork, and even ice cream. 听下面一段对话，回答以下小题。 55. What is the woman doing? A. Complaining about the campus food. B.

I just need to grab a quick bite before class, so please make it quick. W: Great! This is for a student council report — we’re trying to find out what students think of the campus food service. First, how often do you eat in the cafeteria? M: Almost every day. W: What’s your general impression of the food here? M: Well, people complain a lot, but basically I think it’s OK. The vegetables are usually overcooked, but I mean they have to feed hundreds of people here. You can’t expect freshly prepared stuff just for you. W: So you think the other things, like soup and dessert are OK? M: Yeah, that’s about right. And my favorite dessert is chocolate-filled cake. W: Is there anything you’d like to change about the cafeteria? M: Yes, the hours. Sometimes it’s a real rush for me to get back here before 7:00 p.m. 听下面一段对话，回答以下小题。 58.

Let’s talk about the most important survival tool on campus. Your meal plan. M: The website made it sound like rocket science. What’s the difference between the plans anyway? W: OK, the basic plan provides 10 meals per week with 100 dollars in dining dollars. The gold plan gives you 15 meals plus 200 dollars dining dollars, which most students find sufficient. Then there’s the unlimited plan, which is popular with athletes and students with heavier appetites. M: How do the dining dollars work exactly? W: They’re like a prepaid account you can use at any campus food location, coffee shops, convenience stores, that fancy sushi place in the student center. But remember, they’re only good on campus. M: What are the busiest times at the dining hall? W: The lunch rush between 12:00 and 1:30 pm tends to be the most crowded. If your schedule allows, coming earlier or later can mean shorter lines. Also, late-night meals after 9 pm are half off, which can help stretch your meal plan further. M: This has been really helpful. I think I’ll go with the gold plan. W: That’s what I would recommend. 听下面一段对话，回答以下问题。 62. What are the speakers mainly talking about? A. The invention of chocolate chip cookies. B. Various accidents caused by innovations. C.

M: You know chocolate chip cookies, right? It’s said that one day in the 1930s, Mrs Wakefield, the owner of a restaurant, was making chocolate cookies but ran out of regular baker’s chocolate, so she replaced it with broken pieces of semi-sweet chocolate, thinking that it would melt and mix into the flour. It clearly did not, and the chocolate chip cookie was born. W: That’s really a sweet accident. M: Another example is potato chips. The first potato chip was invented by George Crum in 1853. As a cook, George Crum was fed up with the constant complaints of a customer who kept sending his potatoes back to the kitchen because they were too thick. Unwilling to accept the criticism, but Mr Crum tried to slice the paper-thin potatoes. Deep fried, the potatoes became quite hard and dry and impossible to eat with a fork. W: So, Mr Crum made a mistake while cooking. M: Right. But to Crum’s surprise, the customer was crazy about the new chips. Soon, the new chips became a regular item on the restaurant’s menu. W: Interesting! I’ve never heard the stories before. $
