This collection of Chicago’s best restaurants provides answers to the classic question. Luella’s Southern Kitchen TEL (773) 961-8196 This restaurant serves some of the city’s best Southern food, including shrimp, fried chicken and waffles. This restaurant on the North Side is also a popular brunch destination. It’s a casual spot with counter ordering, but it brings a serious menu where everyone can find something hearty. Community Tavern TEL (773) 283-6080 Nowadays, the restaurant has expanded its menu away from its origins as a neighborhood steakhouse. But fortunately, the neighborhood aspect remains. The bar program is rich, and kids under 12 eat free on certain days. The menu keeps innovating, which isn’t a bad thing. For example, there’s a section of Asian-style dumplings, including one stuffed with mushroom butter. Smoque BBQ TEL (773) 545-7427 With two smokers to prepare St. Louis- style roast meat, this destination in the Northwest Side neighborhood of Irving Park delivers barbecue in the styles of Kansas City and Memphis. During the pandemic, Barry Sorkin, the owner, expanded takeout and outdoor dining options, including a patio in the former parking lot. Pat’s Pizza TEL (773) 248-0168 Chicago thin-crust pizza is having a moment, with the city’s pizza- makers eager to protest the convention that here only serves thick- crust pizza. Pat’s Pizza has a storied history of popularizing thin-crust pizza. This family-owned spot proudly makes some of the crispiest, thinnest pizzas around. Pat’s uses its own sausage, which also helps set its flavor apart. Pizzas are available for takeout, delivery, patio, and indoor dining. 1. What number should you call if you want to eat brunch? A. (773) 545-7427. B. (773) 283-6080. C. (773) 248-0168. D. (773) 961-8196. 2. What is the feature of Community Tavern? A. The menu keeps unchanged. B. It has lost its neighborhood element. C.

The Mississippi teacher said she’s lost about 150 pounds since 2008, and has fulfilled a longtime dream — to run and finish the New York City(NYC) Marathon. “It was a dream that came true. I’ve been wanting to do it for 12 years,” Barnes said. Barnes has come a long way over the past decade. At one point, she weighed nearly 300 pounds. “I did have a big setback around 2018, but I got myself together and persevered (坚持不懈) and got with it again,” she said. Running has been an essential part for Barnes. She has so far run many half marathons and four full marathons. “I can say my life is definitely better, not only for getting mentally and physically healthy but for meeting incredible people along,” Barnes said of her experience with running. Although it wasn’t her first marathon, Barnes said the NYC Marathon was still a challenging run. At mile 18, she said she started having “sharp back spasms (痉挛)”, but despite it all, she would not exchange the experience for anything. “The goal might not be exactly what you want, but you will persevere through it and try your best to reach the end goal.” In the end, Barnes completed the NYC Marathon with a final time of 6 hours, 58 minutes and 53 seconds. “I credit everyone for my achievements. The crowds are simply amazing. And I’m also inspired by the people I’ve encountered. Believe in yourself that you can do it, and start with small achievable and measurable goals. Find something you like to do and something that inspires and motivates you,” she said. Today, Barnes runs about five days a week and does both strength and cross training. She plans on running again soon, setting her sights on a half marathon in Arizona next February and running in all 50 states with her husband. She and her husband also hope to run the NYC Marathon together next year. 4. What does the first paragraph mainly talk about? A. Barnes managed to lose weight via surgery. B. Barnes has overcome setbacks in her life. C. Barnes has fulfilled her long-standing wish. D. Barnes has suffered a lot over the last 15 years. 5. What does Barnes try to convey in the second paragraph? A. She benefits a lot from running. B. She has been mentally cured. C. She has run a lot of marathons in her life. D. She wants to make friends through running. 6. What do we know about Barnes’ participation in the NYC Marathon? A. She highly treasured the experience. B. She finished it with the best record. C. She completed it without difficulty. D. She considered it the most challenging. 7. Which of the following can best describe Barnes? A. Demanding but patient. B. Stubborn but friendly. C. Warm-hearted and optimistic. D. Strong-willed and ambitious. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了体重一度接近300磅的Lee Anne Barnes通过自己的努力，在过去的15年里，将体重减了约150磅。她还参加了纽约市马拉松赛，实现了自己长久以来的梦想。她的经历告诉我们：只要有毅力和决心，就没有克服不了的困难。 【4题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Over the last 15 years, Lee Anne Barnes has gone from a couch potato to a marathoner. The Mississippi teacher said she’s lost about 150 pounds since 2008, and has fulfilled a longtime dream — to run and finish the New York City(NYC) Marathon. “It was a dream that came true. I’ve been wanting to do it for 12 years,” Barnes said. Barnes has come a long way over the past decade. At one point, she weighed nearly 300 pounds. “I did have a big setback around 2018, but I got myself together and persevered (坚持不懈) and got with it again,” she said.(在过去的15年里，李·安妮·巴恩斯从一个电视迷变成了一个马拉松运动员。这位密西西比州的教师说，自2008年以来，她已经减掉了大约150磅，并实现了长期以来的梦想——跑完纽约市马拉松赛。“我的梦想成真了。我想做这件事已经有12年了，”巴恩斯说。巴恩斯在过去十年里取得了长足的进步。她的体重一度接近300磅。她说:“在2018年左右，我确实遇到了很大的挫折，但我振作起来，坚持不懈，重新开始了。”)”可知，第一段主要介绍的是Barnes实现了自己长期以来的一个梦想，即跑完纽约市马拉松赛。故选C。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“I can say my life is definitely better, not only for getting mentally and physically healthy but for meeting incredible people along(我可以说我的生活确实变得更好了，不仅因为身心健康，而且因为遇到了很棒的人)”可知，她从跑步中获益良多。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“At mile 18, she said she started having “sharp back spasms (痉挛)”, but despite it all, she would not exchange the experience for anything.(在18英里处，她说她开始出现“剧烈的背部痉挛”，但尽管如此，她不会用任何东西来交换这种经历)”可推知，Barnes非常珍视这次跑纽约市马拉松赛的经历，觉得任何东西都无法换取这段经历。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“I did have a big setback around 2018, but I got myself together and persevered (坚持不懈) and got with it again(2018年前后，我确实遇到了很大的挫折，但我振作起来，坚持不懈，重新开始了)”可知，尽管遇到挫折，Barnes还是振作起来并坚持了下来。由此可知，Barnes是一个意志坚强的人。根据最后一段“She plans on running again soon, setting her sights on a half marathon in Arizona next February and running in all 50 states with her husband. She and her husband also hope to run the NYC Marathon together next year.(她计划很快再次跑步，她的目标是明年2月在亚利桑那州参加半程马拉松比赛，并与丈夫一起跑遍所有50个州。她和丈夫还希望明年能一起参加纽约马拉松比赛)”可知，她计划参加亚利桑那州的半程马拉松赛，还计划与丈夫一起跑50个州，说明Barnes是一个有远大志向的人。故选D。 C New glove can translate sign language instantly through an app, researchers say California researchers developed a glove embedded with electronic sensors that can translate American Sign Language（ASL） into English in real time through an app on your smartphone. Unlike its past counterparts, the new glove is lightweight, inexpensive and long-lasting. The device could help remove communication barriers between signers and non-signers. Hopefully, this may open up an easy way for people who use sign language to communicate directly with non-signers without needing someone else to translate for them. The team worked with four people who are deaf and use ASL and had them repeat gestures up to 15 times while wearing the glove-like device, simultaneously teaching a machine how to recognize them. The glove has thin, stretchable sensors made from “electrically conducting yarns” that run up each finger and convert the movements into signals. These signals are sent to a “dollar-coin-sized” circuit board placed on the person's wrist, which then wirelessly transfers them over to a smartphone. The system was able to recognize 660 hand motions and finger placements that stand for each letter in the English alphabet, different phrases and each number. The algorithm（计算程序） recognized the correct signs about 99% of the time, and in less than one second— or about a tone word per second. The researchers also placed sensors in between the participants eyebrows and on the sides of their mouths to “capture facial expressions that are a part of ASL”. The same exact hand-shape and movement can totally change meaning because of the facial expression that is used to accompany it. Take the word MUCH. The degree of how much can totally be determined by the facial expression alone while the sign stays the same. Researchers said the glove would need to learn more vocabulary and be able to translate signs faster in order to get a commercial version of it in stores. 8. Who is the new glove intended for? A. Translators. B. Deaf people. C. English learners. D. Sign language users. 9. What does paragraph 4 mainly say about the new glove? A. Its reliability. B. Its components. C. Its working principle. D. Its broad applications. 10. How do researchers improve the glove's correctness of recognition? A. By connecting it to smartphones. B. By catching information from more angles. C. By lengthening the time of catching gestures. D. By inputting more letters and words in English. 11. What will researchers do with the glove in the future? A. Bring it to market. B. Update its outlook. C. Extend its service life. D. Improve its performance. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了加利福尼亚研究人员开发的一款嵌入电子传感器的手套，它能通过智能手机应用将美国手语实时翻译成英语，并阐述了该手套的特点、工作原理、识别准确性的提升方式及未来发展方向。 【详解】1.细节理解题。文章第二段提到 “The device could help remove communication barriers between signers and non-signers. Hopefully, this may open up an easy way for people who use sign language to communicate directly with non-signers...”（这款设备有助于消除手语使用者与非手语使用者之间的沟通障碍。希望这能为使用手语的人们开辟一条便捷的途径，让他们能够与非手语使用者直接交流……）。由此可知，这款新手套的目标用户是手语使用者。其他选项 “翻译人员（Translators）”“聋人（Deaf people）”“英语学习者（English learners）” 均不符合文意核心。故选D项。 2.细节理解题。第四段描述了手套的工作过程：“The glove has thin, stretchable sensors made from ‘electrically conducting yarns’ that run up each finger and convert the movements into signals. These signals are sent to a ‘dollar-coin-sized’ circuit board placed on the person's wrist, which then wirelessly transfers them over to a smartphone.”（这款手套有由 “导电纱线” 制成的薄而可拉伸的传感器，这些传感器延伸到每个手指，将动作转化为信号。这些信号被发送到放置在手腕上的 “硬币大小” 的电路板，然后通过无线方式传输到智能手机。）这清晰地解释了手套如何实现手语翻译的机制，即其工作原理。其他选项 “可靠性（Its reliability）”“组成部分（Its components）”“广泛应用（Its broad applications）” 均未在该段重点体现。故选C项。 3.细节理解题。第六段提到 “The researchers also placed sensors in between the participants eyebrows and on the sides of their mouths to ‘capture facial expressions that are a part of ASL’. The same exact hand-shape and movement can totally change meaning because of the facial expression that is used to accompany it.”（研究人员还在参与者的眉间和嘴角放置了传感器，以 “捕捉作为美国手语一部分的面部表情”。由于伴随的面部表情，完全相同的手型和动作可能会有完全不同的含义。）通过增加面部表情传感器，从更多角度捕捉信息，从而提高了识别的准确性。其他选项均未在文中提及是提升准确性的方式。故选B项。 4.推理判断题。最后一段指出 “Researchers said the glove would need to learn more vocabulary and be able to translate signs faster in order to get a commercial version of it in stores.”（研究人员表示，为了推出商用版本并进入商店销售，这款手套需要学习更多词汇，并且能够更快地翻译手语。）“学习更多词汇” 和 “更快翻译” 均属于提升性能的范畴，这是未来推出商用版本前的必要步骤。虽然 “推向市场（Bring it to market）” 是最终目标，但当前首要任务是改进性能。其他选项 “更新外观（Update its outlook）”“延长使用寿命（Extend its service life）” 文中未提及。故选D项。 D Chinese food is well received by the world. Who doesn’t long for a favorite Chinese dish? But there is one interesting concept concerning Chinese food which is almost unheard of in the West, and which is becoming increasingly ignored by the youth of the East — the ancient custom of “tonic (滋补) food”. Tonic food is food which is consumed to improve one’s well-being or avoid sickness. For instance, it was once the custom for new mothers to eat a sesame oil (麻油) hot pot every day for the first month after giving birth. It was believed that this dish would benefit the muscles, reduce pain, improve circulation, stimulate sweating, and warm the body. Some foods, such as goat meat and spinach, are seen as “hot”, while others, such as Chinese cabbage and radishes, are seen as “cold”. One should be careful not to eat too much of either “hot” or “cold” food. However, how much “hot” or “cold” food one should eat depends on the time of the year, how the food is prepared and what it is prepared with, and the individual’s health. The custom of employing tonic food for a healthier life also influences the catering industry. Chinese herbal medicines, such as wolfberry (枸杞), can be found on many a restaurant menu, either added to fruit tea or as a beneficial addition to a dish. These herbs attract customers, such as overworked office staff, in need of a modest pick-me-up. So, whether you need to boost your strength with a large helping of chicken soup, or increase your mental powers with a serving of fish soup, you may find that this ancient Chinese custom could be just the tonic you were looking for. 12. What is the present situation of tonic food? A. It is catching less attention. B. It is enjoyed by many young people. C. It is well-known worldwide. D. It is becoming increasingly popular. 13. What is believed to benefit new mothers? A. Chinese cabbage. B. Fruit tea. C. Fish soup. D. Sesame oil hot pot. 14. Which of the following best explains “catering” underlined in Paragraph 3? A. Medicine. B. Restaurant. C. Manufacture. D. Agriculture. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Charm of Chinese Cuisine B. The Popularity of Tonic Food C. An Introduction of Chinese Tonic Food D. Differences Between Hot Food and Cold Food 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国传统滋补品的现状，功效以及滋补品对现代餐饮业的影响。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“But there is one interesting concept concerning Chinese food which is almost unheard of in the West, and which is becoming increasingly ignored by the youth of the East — the ancient custom of “tonic (滋补) food”.(但关于中餐，有一个有趣的概念在西方几乎闻所未闻，而东方的年轻人也越来越忽视它——那就是“滋补”的古老习俗)”可知，滋补食品它引起的关注越来越少。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“For instance, it was once the custom for new mothers to eat a sesame oil (麻油) hot pot every day for the first month after giving birth. It was believed that this dish would benefit the muscles, reduce pain, improve circulation, stimulate sweating, and warm the body.(例如，新妈妈在产后的第一个月里每天吃麻油火锅曾经是一种习俗。人们相信这道菜对肌肉有益，减轻疼痛，促进血液循环，刺激出汗，温暖身体)”可知，人们认为麻油火锅对新妈妈有好处。故选D项。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Chinese herbal medicines, such as wolfberry(枸杞), can be found on many a restaurant menu, either added to fruit tea or as a beneficial addition to a dish. These herbs attract customers, such as overworked office staff, in need of a modest pick-me-up.(在许多餐馆的菜单上都可以找到枸杞等中草药，它们要么被添加到果茶中，要么被作为有益的添加剂添加到菜肴中。这些草药吸引了顾客，比如工作过度的办公室职员，他们需要适度的提神)”可知，此处为使用滋补食品以健康生活的习俗也影响了餐饮业。故可猜测划线单词catering为“餐饮”的意思，结合选项B项Restaurant“餐饮，餐厅”意思一致。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段中“But there is one interesting concept concerning Chinese food which is almost unheard of in the West, and which is becoming increasingly ignored by the youth of the East — the ancient custom of “tonic (滋补) food”.(但关于中餐，有一个有趣的概念在西方几乎闻所未闻，而东方的年轻人也越来越忽视它——那就是“滋补”的古老习俗)”可知，文章主要介绍了正日益被东方年轻人说忽视的中国的补品。由此可知，文章最适合的标题是“中国滋补食品简介”。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能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Cleaning your room can feel like a challenging task, but it’s likely a quicker and easier process than you imagine!

He had always paid much attention to his students, especially the ones who needed help. When he noticed that one of his students, Emily, was not getting on the school bus with all the other children and that her exam results had dropped a bit, he became worried. One day, he decided to follow her and was surprised when he saw her walking towards an old factory building. He parked his car a few blocks away from the factory and waited for Emily to enter. After a few minutes, he carefully moved toward the building, his heart racing with each step. As he entered the dark and dirty inside of the building, his mind was flooded with a sense of pity. Then he saw Emily sitting on the floor, surrounded(包围) by her textbooks and notebooks. “Emily, what are you doing here?” Mr Jackson asked, surprised. Emily looked up and was surprised to see her teacher. She said, “Oh, Mr Jackson! I came here to do my homework. It’s quiet here, and I feel safe.” “Why don’t you go home?” he asked, his concern(担忧) growing. “I live with my mother. Recently, my mother lost her job and we haven’t found a house yet,” she replied. “And my father used to work here, so it’s a familiar place to me.” Mr Jackson was heartbroken to hear this. He knew he had to do something to help Emily. He sat down beside Emily and asked her to tell him everything that was going on. Emily shared stories about her father, who had passed away a few years before. She talked about how her mother had struggled(努力) to make ends meet. Mr Jackson listened carefully. The more he knew about Emily, the more he realized that being a teacher was not only about teaching subjects, it was also about shaping young minds and making a difference to their lives. He decided to take action. Paragraph 1: The next day, Mr Jackson went to see Emily’s mother. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: One day, Emily’s mother came to Mr Jackson’s house to pick Emily up. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: The next day, Mr Jackson went to see Emily’s mother. Mr Jackson promised to help them in any way he could. He said to her, “If you don’t mind, Emily can stay with me at my house until you find a house.” Emily’s mother agreed. Mr Jackson took Emily to shop for new clothes first and then took her home. He helped Emily catch up on her studies every day. Soon, Emily’s grades improved, and she started to come out of her shell, making new friends at school. Meanwhile, Emily’s mother managed to find a job and a house.  Paragraph 2: One day, Emily’s mother came to Mr Jackson’s house to pick Emily up. She thanked Mr Jackson for everything he had done for them with tears in her eyes. Mr Jackson smiled and said, “You don’t have to thank me. It’s my pleasure to help you and Emily.” Emily hugged her teacher and said, “Thank you, Mr Jackson. You’re the best!” Mr Jackson hugged her back, feeling the warmth and a sense of satisfaction in his heart. He had made a difference to Emily’s life, and that was all that mattered to him. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了杰克逊先生总是很关心他的学生，尤其是那些需要帮助的学生。当他发现学生艾米丽家遇到了困难，杰克逊先生及时提供了帮助，收留艾米丽在自家居住和学习，得到了艾米丽和母亲的感谢。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天，杰克逊先生去看艾米丽的母亲。”可知，第一段可描写杰克逊先生提出让艾米丽和自己住一起。 ②由第二段首句内容“一天，艾米丽的妈妈来杰克逊先生家接艾米丽”可知，第二段可描写艾米丽母亲表达感谢以及对艾米丽的影响。 2.续写线索：看望艾米丽母亲——提出艾米丽和自己住——艾米丽成绩提高——母亲来接艾米丽——表达感谢——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 帮助：help/give a hand 开始：start/begin 拥抱：hug/embrace 情绪类 满足：satisfaction /content 荣幸：pleasure/honor 【点睛】[高分句型1] Soon, Emily’s grades improved, and she started to come out of her shell, making new friends at school.

This collection of Chicago’s best restaurants provides answers to the classic question. Luella’s Southern Kitchen TEL (773) 961-8196 This restaurant serves some of the city’s best Southern food, including shrimp, fried chicken and waffles.

Community Tavern TEL (773) 283-6080 Nowadays, the restaurant has expanded its menu away from its origins as a neighborhood steakhouse. But fortunately, the neighborhood aspect remains. The bar program is rich, and kids under 12 eat free on certain days. The menu keeps innovating, which isn’t a bad thing. For example, there’s a section of Asian-style dumplings, including one stuffed with mushroom butter. Smoque BBQ TEL (773) 545-7427 With two smokers to prepare St. Louis- style roast meat, this destination in the Northwest Side neighborhood of Irving Park delivers barbecue in the styles of Kansas City and Memphis.

Pat’s Pizza TEL (773) 248-0168 Chicago thin-crust pizza is having a moment, with the city’s pizza- makers eager to protest the convention that here only serves thick- crust pizza.

The Mississippi teacher said she’s lost about 150 pounds since 2008, and has fulfilled a longtime dream — to run and finish the New York City(NYC) Marathon. “It was a dream that came true. I’ve been wanting to do it for 12 years,” Barnes said. Barnes has come a long way over the past decade. At one point, she weighed nearly 300 pounds. “I did have a big setback around 2018, but I got myself together and persevered (坚持不懈) and got with it again,” she said. Running has been an essential part for Barnes. She has so far run many half marathons and four full marathons. “I can say my life is definitely better, not only for getting mentally and physically healthy but for meeting incredible people along,” Barnes said of her experience with running. Although it wasn’t her first marathon, Barnes said the NYC Marathon was still a challenging run. At mile 18, she said she started having “sharp back spasms (痉挛)”, but despite it all, she would not exchange the experience for anything. “The goal might not be exactly what you want, but you will persevere through it and try your best to reach the end goal.” In the end, Barnes completed the NYC Marathon with a final time of 6 hours, 58 minutes and 53 seconds. “I credit everyone for my achievements. The crowds are simply amazing. And I’m also inspired by the people I’ve encountered. Believe in yourself that you can do it, and start with small achievable and measurable goals. Find something you like to do and something that inspires and motivates you,” she said. Today, Barnes runs about five days a week and does both strength and cross training. She plans on running again soon, setting her sights on a half marathon in Arizona next February and running in all 50 states with her husband. She and her husband also hope to run the NYC Marathon together next year. 4. What does the first paragraph mainly talk about? A. Barnes managed to lose weight via surgery. B. Barnes has overcome setbacks in her life. C. Barnes has fulfilled her long-standing wish. D. Barnes has suffered a lot over the last 15 years. 5. What does Barnes try to convey in the second paragraph? A. She benefits a lot from running. B. She has been mentally cured. C. She has run a lot of marathons in her life. D. She wants to make friends through running. 6. What do we know about Barnes’ participation in the NYC Marathon? A. She highly treasured the experience. B. She finished it with the best record. C. She completed it without difficulty. D. She considered it the most challenging. 7. Which of the following can best describe Barnes? A. Demanding but patient. B. Stubborn but friendly. C. Warm-hearted and optimistic. D. Strong-willed and ambitious. C New glove can translate sign language instantly through an app, researchers say California researchers developed a glove embedded with electronic sensors that can translate American Sign Language（ASL） into English in real time through an app on your smartphone. Unlike its past counterparts, the new glove is lightweight, inexpensive and long-lasting. The device could help remove communication barriers between signers and non-signers. Hopefully, this may open up an easy way for people who use sign language to communicate directly with non-signers without needing someone else to translate for them. The team worked with four people who are deaf and use ASL and had them repeat gestures up to 15 times while wearing the glove-like device, simultaneously teaching a machine how to recognize them. The glove has thin, stretchable sensors made from “electrically conducting yarns” that run up each finger and convert the movements into signals. These signals are sent to a “dollar-coin-sized” circuit board placed on the person's wrist, which then wirelessly transfers them over to a smartphone. The system was able to recognize 660 hand motions and finger placements that stand for each letter in the English alphabet, different phrases and each number. The algorithm（计算程序） recognized the correct signs about 99% of the time, and in less than one second— or about a tone word per second. The researchers also placed sensors in between the participants eyebrows and on the sides of their mouths to “capture facial expressions that are a part of ASL”. The same exact hand-shape and movement can totally change meaning because of the facial expression that is used to accompany it. Take the word MUCH. The degree of how much can totally be determined by the facial expression alone while the sign stays the same. Researchers said the glove would need to learn more vocabulary and be able to translate signs faster in order to get a commercial version of it in stores. 8. Who is the new glove intended for? A. Translators. B. Deaf people. C. English learners. D. Sign language users. 9. What does paragraph 4 mainly say about the new glove? A. Its reliability. B. Its components. C. Its working principle. D. Its broad applications. 10. How do researchers improve the glove's correctness of recognition? A. By connecting it to smartphones. B. By catching information from more angles. C. By lengthening the time of catching gestures. D. By inputting more letters and words in English. 11. What will researchers do with the glove in the future? A. Bring it to market. B. Update its outlook. C. Extend its service life. D. Improve its performance. D Chinese food is well received by the world. Who doesn’t long for a favorite Chinese dish? But there is one interesting concept concerning Chinese food which is almost unheard of in the West, and which is becoming increasingly ignored by the youth of the East — the ancient custom of “tonic (滋补) food”. Tonic food is food which is consumed to improve one’s well-being or avoid sickness. For instance, it was once the custom for new mothers to eat a sesame oil (麻油) hot pot every day for the first month after giving birth. It was believed that this dish would benefit the muscles, reduce pain, improve circulation, stimulate sweating, and warm the body. Some foods, such as goat meat and spinach, are seen as “hot”, while others, such as Chinese cabbage and radishes, are seen as “cold”. One should be careful not to eat too much of either “hot” or “cold” food. However, how much “hot” or “cold” food one should eat depends on the time of the year, how the food is prepared and what it is prepared with, and the individual’s health. The custom of employing tonic food for a healthier life also influences the catering industry. Chinese herbal medicines, such as wolfberry (枸杞), can be found on many a restaurant menu, either added to fruit tea or as a beneficial addition to a dish. These herbs attract customers, such as overworked office staff, in need of a modest pick-me-up. So, whether you need to boost your strength with a large helping of chicken soup, or increase your mental powers with a serving of fish soup, you may find that this ancient Chinese custom could be just the tonic you were looking for. 12. What is the present situation of tonic food? A. It is catching less attention. B. It is enjoyed by many young people. C. It is well-known worldwide. D. It is becoming increasingly popular. 13. What is believed to benefit new mothers? A. Chinese cabbage. B. Fruit tea. C. Fish soup. D. Sesame oil hot pot. 14. Which of the following best explains “catering” underlined in Paragraph 3? A. Medicine. B. Restaurant. C. Manufacture. D. Agriculture. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Charm of Chinese Cuisine B. The Popularity of Tonic Food C.

He had always paid much attention to his students, especially the ones who needed help. When he noticed that one of his students, Emily, was not getting on the school bus with all the other children and that her exam results had dropped a bit, he became worried. One day, he decided to follow her and was surprised when he saw her walking towards an old factory building. He parked his car a few blocks away from the factory and waited for Emily to enter. After a few minutes, he carefully moved toward the building, his heart racing with each step. As he entered the dark and dirty inside of the building, his mind was flooded with a sense of pity. Then he saw Emily sitting on the floor, surrounded(包围) by her textbooks and notebooks. “Emily, what are you doing here?” Mr Jackson asked, surprised. Emily looked up and was surprised to see her teacher. She said, “Oh, Mr Jackson! I came here to do my homework. It’s quiet here, and I feel safe.” “Why don’t you go home?” he asked, his concern(担忧) growing. “I live with my mother. Recently, my mother lost her job and we haven’t found a house yet,” she replied. “And my father used to work here, so it’s a familiar place to me.” Mr Jackson was heartbroken to hear this. He knew he had to do something to help Emily. He sat down beside Emily and asked her to tell him everything that was going on. Emily shared stories about her father, who had passed away a few years before. She talked about how her mother had struggled(努力) to make ends meet. Mr Jackson listened carefully. The more he knew about Emily, the more he realized that being a teacher was not only about teaching subjects, it was also about shaping young minds and making a difference to their lives. He decided to take action.
