第二部分閱讀(共兩節(jié), 滿分50分)
第一節(jié)(共15小題；每小題2. 5分, 滿分37. 5分)
閱讀下列短文, 從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中選出最佳選項。
A
There's no shortage of health food trends on TikTok, but which ones are actually sensible? And should you skip any of them altogether? We asked registered dietitian Vanessa Rissetto, and here's what you need to know.
Emily Mariko's Salmon Bowl
Made with rice, baked salmon, soy sauce and spicy mayo—and to be clear, there are a lot of different variations of it online—this passes Rissetto's test because it's healthy, fast, easy and has good flavor.
Rissetto says that while she would recommend this recipe, she would also suggest changing the white rice for brown rice for increased nutrients and more fiber.
Healthy Cookie Dough
Cookie dough that's healthy? This is too good to be true, right? The answer is probably yes.
Rissctto says that while this may be healthy, it probably docsn't taste good.
“I'm certain this tastes like cardboard, ”she said. “If you don't care about taste—then this is for you. ”
Lettuce Water For Sleep
While harmless, the TikTok trend of pouring boiling water over romaine lettuce leaves to make
“l(fā)ettuce water” for better sleep probably won't cure your sleep disorder—and it probably doesn't taste great, either.
“This is not a thing. There's no evidence to prove it, ”Rissetto said. “Instead, steep a banana peel in boiling water to help aid with sleep. ”
Nature's Cereal
As Rissetto points out, it's basically a fruit smoothie bowl.
“I am all for having berries and coconut water, ”she said. "Nutrition-wise, this has lots of vitamins, antioxidants and fiber. It's basically a fruit salad that would be super refreshing on a hot day or post-workout ”
21. What is special about Emily Mariko's salmon bowl?
A. It doesn't taste great. B. It is good for health.
C. Its recipe is not fixed. D. It uses two kinds of rice.
22. Which recipe doesn't Rissetto recommend?
A. Emily Mariko's salmon bowl. B. Healthy cookie dough.
C. Lettuce water for sleep. D. Nature's cereal.
23. Which food suits you best after playing a football match?
A. Emily Mariko's salmon bowl B. Healthy cookie dough.
C. Lettuce water for sleep. D. Nature's cereal.

Andy Kong has worked very hard to get to where he is today. He credits becoming a millionaire by 20 to his strict Asian parents who tutored him at a young age by working for the family.
Kong, of Danville, Virginia, started working when he was only nine. English wasn't a strong suit for Andy's parents, and that's where he was able to assist his family the most. After school and on weekends he would help out at their family-owned restaurant and nail salons. Not only did he do the labor work, but he was also involved in creating online ads. This was his introduction to the world of online business.
Andy started his Amazon business in the eighth grade. When he learned about Amazon
Dropshipping(代發(fā)貨模式) from a kid he saw on Instagram, he got inspired and decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, the store eventually got shut down because he was impatient with the growth.

When asked about the secret to his success, Andy says, “Learning to sacrifice whether that's family, friends, or soccer game for a single goal is the only way to succeed, rather than attempting multiple things. If it's worth doing then it's worth doing well with no shortcuts. ”
24. Why did Andy work in his parents' shops at a young age?
A. Because he could earn some pocket money.
B. Because his parents weren't fluent in English.

Today, the Vikings are mostly known as violent pirates(海盜). But they were also traders. At their height, the Vikings attacked, settled or traded on four continents.
All of their travel, trade and warfare were made possible by Viking ships, which were far more advanced than anything else sailing around Europe at the time. The most famous, and most feared, was the drekar. At sea, these ships could move quickly thanks to their large sails . The hulls (船體)of the ships were shallow and fat, which made them ride high in the water. The ships were also light enough that they could be carried from one body of water to another over short sections of land. This greatly extended their range.
But Viking ships weren't just built for warfare . Another type, called the knarr, had cargo(貨物) holds built in the hull. One such cargo ship was capable of carrying 24 tons. The knarrs would have looked similar to the drekars except they were longer, fatter and taller. These were the backbones of the Viking empire, which they used to carry everything from gold coins to spices and fine fabrics.
Both the drekar and the knarr were built using the same method. Traditionally, oceangoing ships have used a keel(龍骨), shaped like the fin of a fish . The keel sinks into the water below the hull . It helps the ship maintain a straight line through the water and counters the force of the wind against the sail, which otherwise might blow the ship over. Viking ships had no deep keel. Instead, they were built fat enough to carry lots of soldiers or pieces of cargo whose weight helped keep the ship planted in the water.
Viking ships were so advanced for their tine that they often were the biggest, tallest and most striking ships many people had ever seen, A monk at the St. Omar Monastery, in Franco, wrote this description of a royal Viking ship in 1013.
“On one side lions molded in gold were to be seen on the ships, on the other birds on the tops of the poles indicated by their movements the winds as they blew … . "
The Vikings built a wealthy empire through trade as well as robbery and used their wealth to continuously improve their ships.
28. What does the author intend to tell us?
A. The Vikings were not violent pirates. but traders.
B. The Vikings used to take a lead in the world trade.
C. Viking ships could carry more cargo than ships today.
D. Viking ships contributed to the extension of their empire.
29. What can we infer about the knarrs?
A. They were not designed for warfare.
B. They were faster than the drekars.
C. They were designed to carry soldiers.
D. They served the same purpose as drekars.
30. What do the Vikings' ships and the traditional oceangoing ships have in common?
A. They both use a deep keel shaped like the fin of a fish.
B. They both make the hull shallow and fat with large sails.
C. They both take measures to keep the ship planted in water.
D. They both install something to counter the force of wind.
31. Why does the author refer to a monk's description of a Viking ship?
A. To show how advanced Viking ships were for their time.
B. To show how interested the monk was in traveling by sea.
C. To show that Viking ships were designed in a strange way.
D. To show that Viking ships were continuously improved.
D
Every language and culture has curse words(臟話). What gives a curse word its power is partly its meaning and partly its sound. “In English, for example, curse words tend to contain a high percentage of plosive sounds—including P, T and K, ”said Ryan McKay, a psychologist at University of London.
Dr. McKay teamed up with his colleague Shiri Lev-Ari to learn whether this familiar pattern went beyond English. They wondered whether it might even represent what's called sound symbolism. Sound symbolism is when a word sounds like what it means.
The researchers first asked fluent speakers of Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Korean and Russian to list the most vulgar(粗俗的) words they could think of. Once they'd made a list of each language's most frequently used curse words, the researchers compared these with neutral words from the same language. In these languages, they didn't find the plosive sounds that seem common in English curse words. “Instead, we found that the vulgar words were defined by what they lacked: the approximant sounds that include letters I, L, R, W and Y, ”Dr. Lev-Ari said.
Next, the scientists invited 215 native speakers of six languages: Arabic, Chinese, Finnish, French, German and Spanish. The participants listened to pairs of words in a language they didn't speak, and guessed which word in each pair was offensive. In reality, all the words were invented. For example, the researchers started with the Albanian word “zog, ” for “bird, ”and created the pair of fake words “yog" and “tsog. ”Participants were more likely to guess that words without approximants, such as “tsog, ” were curses.
Finally, the researchers combed through the dictionary for English curse words and their cleaned-up versions. Once again, the clean versions included more of the sounds I, L, R, W and Y.
A 20th-century linguistic(語言學的)principle claimed that the sounds of words were arbitrary: Any word could have any meaning. With curse words, though, as in other cases of sound symbolism, “the sounds themselves seem to carry meaning, ”said Lev-Ari. “That's a new thing, ”said linguist Benjamin Bergen. “Curse words across languages, unrelated to each other, may pattern similarly. ”He also pointed out, to make sure the pattern of approximants missing from curses isn't an accident, it would be nice to find it in an even larger sample of languages.
32. What is the purpose of McKay and Lev-Ari's research?
A. To analyze a phenomenon. B. To confirm an assumption.
C. To explain a definition. D. To challenge a theory.
33. What were the participants asked to do in the second part of the research?
A. To decide which curse words are used more frequently.
B. To make up new curse words from real words.
C. To guess a word's offensiveness according to its sound.
D. To identify the approximants in curse words.
34. According to Lev-Ari, which of the four is likely to sound offensive?
A. tusck B. sola C. darn D. biach
35. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. The old linguistic principle of sounds and meanings is wrong.
B. In sound symbolism, a word's sound represents its meaning.
C. The research reveals the similarities between different languages.
D. The result of the research is not fully accepted by scientists.

In theory, modern smartphones can last hundreds of hours on a single charge. 36______
Manufacturers love to use laboratory conditions to advertise great numbers, most of which don't match real-world use. Here we have some saving tricks that actually work.
Delete apps you don't use. On average, smartphone users download about 42 apps but use only ten daily. An easy way to preserve battery life? 37________ Deleting an app that you don't use is a simple way to free up storage space on your device and reduce the burden of your battery.
38 _________A phone's single biggest battery drain is the fact that it takes a lot of energy to keep your phone's screen lit up, and we often leave it on accidentally, even if we're not looking at the screen. The solution is to set your device to turn off its screen after 30 seconds or a minute.
Dim the screen. Viewing your phone's millions of pixels at full brightness is a guaranteed battery drain. Even your phone's auto-brightness feature will sometimes overdo it, meaning you could be losing precious hours of battery life. Try dimming your display a little at a time. 39 _________
Go ahead and charge it. You've probably heard the classic advice about charging batteries: Let your battery drain all the way, then charge to 100 percent and repeat. The idea is that you are teaching your battery to “remember” its full charge capacity, rather than confusing it with periodic, inconsistent charges. 40____________ So instead of running out the door with 50 percent juice, consider plugging in your phone for 15 minutes before you leave.
A. Get rid of the others.
B. Decrease display time.
C. But it's not the case in practice.
D. Turn off the ones that you don't use.
E. You'll be surprised how quickly your eyes adjust.
F. It doesn't consume as much battery power as we think.
G. Actually most smartphone batteries don't need special treatment.

I was twenty then, teaching a class of thirty students in Toronto including Mike, a 10-year-old street kid. Having lost his father and mother, he lived with a mentally-disturbed grandmother.
He was always hungry, so each day I'd take him for breakfast before class. Each noon after I shared my lunch with him, I taught him new skills—using a microscope, constructing a camera etc.
One day Mike told me of his dream. Most kids in the class wanted to be doctors, teachers or some such thing, but not Mike! His desire was to be a gangster(強盜)!And he was serious about it.
I believed all children had a gift for what he wanted to be. If he wanted to be a gangster, I'd do all I could to help him become the very best “gangster” .
I had a plan. Every Saturday after we had breakfast, I took him to the Law Library of the city. I explained to him a good gangster had to know something about criminal law, and reading up on law was the only way to learn. His young mind was interested, and he dove in.
That was how we spent each Saturday morning that year. I'd drop him off at the law library. Three hours later, I'd return, pick him up for lunch and after a review of his morning's work, take him home.
The following year I taught in another school far away, which prevented me continuing to participate physically with him on Saturday mornings. But I provided him with public transportation tickets so he could keep up his regular study at the library.
Later I got married and moved to London. Sadly, and to my great regret, I lost contact with Mike.
Years passed. I often thought of him, wondering what had become of him. Then, one day, I was back in Toronto on business, looking up the number of a former colleague in the telephone directory, and there, Mike's name as part of a title of “JUDGES and LAWYERS” danced off the page into my eyes.

第一節(jié)
Dear Jack,
Thanks so much for your affection for the Spring Festival! And I am too willing to offer you some advice on decorating your home.
To create the joyous atmosphere, you’d better integrate “red” into your decoration as it means “happiness”. Firstly, paste the red couplets on the doors and affix the red paper-cuttings to the windows. Sticking the character of fu is also a custom. Besides, after the cleaning, you can hang up the red lanterns to illuminate the inside and outside of the house.
May you have a pleasant Chinese New Year and remember me to your parents!
Yours,
Li Hua
第二節(jié)
I wondered, “Could it be him?” I dialed the number, gave my full name to a secretary and was put on hold. A long fifteen seconds later, a gentleman was on the line. His opening statement was, “Mr. Kowal (or whatever), I’ve really … missed you.” Then there was silence. Tears welling up in my eyes, I blurted out between sobs, “Mike, I only wish I’d kept in touch with you all these years. I’m really proud of you.” In a trembling voice on the other side, Mike answered, “I wouldn’t be here now if it weren’t for you.”
When we were able to get together, he told me his road to the law. Studying law in the library enabled him to explore his inner depths—the “gangster” he had wanted to be was something of a hero protecting the disadvantaged with knowledge. He studied all the way to the law university while working part-time for his education fees. Now he had risen to be one of the most successful criminal lawyers in Canada. He owed all to me while I thought the greatest good we teachers could do for the students was to assist in revealing the best of their own.

Text 5
W: George, it’s boring to stay at home. Why don’t we play badminton outside?

W: The department store has reduced all its prices by forty percent during the sale. Don’t you think it’s time to replace our sofa? We’ve had it for a long time!
M: Do you think so? I think it’s comfortable enough. What we really need is a proper lamp to go on the table next to the sofa. It’s impossible to sit and read there at the moment.
W: Let’s move one of the lamps down from the bedroom then. The blue one would look good on that table.
M: You’re right.
Text 7

M: Speaking of that, I remember that last weekend I was outside when it rained hard suddenly. So I used a shared umbrella.?I held the umbrella for only ten minutes and then it was broken. I didn’t know what happened.

M:?It’s a door. It must have been covered up a long time ago.

M: If there is, it must only be small.
W: Don’t tell Kate and Susan —?they will use it for hiding from us.
M: Living in this old house is like living in a castle. It seems to have so many secrets.
W: My sister’s house used to be a shop. In one of the rooms, she found lots of old signs and products from the past.
M: That’s what I like about these old places. They are so interesting.
W: It’s true. New houses may be efficient but they have no character.?

W: Our guest today is Chef Michael Wilson. Thanks again for joining us, Mr. Wilson.
M: Oh, it’s my pleasure. And please call me Mike.
W: OK, Mike, you’ve been cooking since you were a kid, and you’ve been a professional chef for over twenty years. What is it about cooking that you love so much?
M: It’s the best way for people to communicate, in my opinion. You don’t need language. You don’t have to have anything in common. It’s easy to make new friends when you share a meal together.
W: So, what are some of the differences in the food of different countries?
M: Well, in the West, people eat a lot of bread, while in Asia, rice and noodles are more common.?Beef is very common in countries like the United States, but it’s not as popular in Northern Europe.
W: What do you think is the most important factor in cooking?
M: I think that fresh local foods are the most important part of any type of cooking.

Hi, Cathy, this is Pitt. I heard that during the Chinese Spring Festival holiday you won’t go back to your hometown in the States and will go to Germany for some traveling and then come back to China. I’m leaving you this voice message to invite you to come to our family’s Chinese New Year’s Eve dinner, say, on Feb.?4. My mother and I will start making dumplings around 4 p.m. and we’ll probably start having dinner at 6 p.m. If you’re interested in making dumplings, feel free to join us at 4 p.m. I’m afraid there will be very few buses or taxis running tomorrow afternoon. My father is happy to pick you up from your place. Just send me your address and tell me when you can come. After dinner, we will watch some Spring Festival shows on TV. The most interesting show starts at around 8 p.m. We usually stay up very late, so don’t worry about staying too long. Just let me know when you want to go back to your place. Looking forward to your earliest reply.
