For the first 18 years of my life, my mom cooked Chinese food every day, all served family-style. But when it came time for me to teach myself how to cook, I didn't ask my mom for help. Instead, like so many young people, I turned to the online recipes. By the time I got married, I could cook many dishes. What I didn't really know how to cook at all, however, was Chinese food.
Part of the problem was that I only knew how to cook by following recipes. And up until maybe 5 or 10 years ago, the number of English-language recipes for Chinese dishes you could find in a cookbook or on the Internet still felt extremely limited—at least when it came to homey(家乡菜), everyday recipes written with a younger Chinese American audience in mind.
That was the experience, too, for sisters Sarah and Kaitlin Leung. Like so many other ABCs (American-born Chinese) and younger first- and second-generation Chinese immigrants(移民), the Leung sisters reached a point in their adult lives when they started to love to eat the food they'd grown up on, but found it really difficult to learn how to prepare it.
As it turns out, though, the Leung sisters were uniquely positioned to do something about it: Their father had spent years cooking at his family's Chinese American takeout restaurant. Their mom had deep knowledge about traditional Shanghainese cooking. Meanwhile, the two sisters had grown up in New York, eating their parents' food, but also immersed(沉浸) in America's own food culture.
So, in 2013, the Leungs started a food blog "The Woks of Life". What made their blog different from other blogs was that the intergenerational transfer of knowledge that the Leungs were so eager for was baked right into the concept: The four family members took turns posting recipes, each sharing their own favorites. In that way, Sarah says, the blog reflected—and continues to reflect—the diversity of the Chinese diaspora(华侨).
4、What partly stopped the author learning to cook Chinese dishes?
A.He was too busy to cook at home. B. He had no access to such recipes.
C. He didn't like Chinese dishes at all. D. His mother left him no chance to cook.
5、Who might be the targeted readers of the Leungs' blog?
A. Young American housewives.
B. Chinese adults living abroad.
C.The Chinese immigrants family.
D. The Chinese chefs working in restaurants.
6、What sets the Leungs' blog apart from others'?
A. Being written by several people.
B. Aiming to share people's favorite dishes.
C. Introducing Chinese baked food in particular.
D. Involving the intergenerational transfer of knowledge.
7、What can be the best title for the text?
A. The Popularity of "The Woks of Life"
B. The Comeback of Chinese Food in America
C. Take a Glance of the Daily Life of Overseas Chinese
D. Help a New Generation of Chinese Americans Learn to Cook
Researchers recently found what could be the earliest-known evidence of ancient cooking: the leftovers of a fish dinner from 780,000 years ago. Ancient objects from the area suggest it was home to a community of Homo erectus, a kind of early human that walked upright, explained study lead writer Irit Zohar of Tel Aviv University. The fish remains, especially teeth, were found near places where researchers also found signs of fire. Testing showed the fish teeth had been exposed to temperatures that were hot, but not super-hot. This suggests the fish were cooked low and slow, rather than being put right onto a fire, Zohar explained.
The researchers—like many other experts—believe cooking started long before this, though physical evidence has been hard to find. "I'm sure that in the near future an earlier case will be reported," study writer Israel Hershkovitz of Tel Aviv University said in an email.
"When early humans figured out how to cook, they were able to get more energy, which they could use to fuel bigger brains. If we're out there eating raw items, it is very difficult to make it as a large-bodied primate(灵长目动物)," David Braun from George Washington University said.
In a 2010 study, led by Natalie Munro of the University of Connecticut, researchers described the earliest evidence of a feast. The feast was a specially-prepared meal that brought people together for an event 12,000 years ago in a cave in Israel. The cave, which served as a burial place, included the remains of one special woman who seemed to be a religious leader for her community," Munro said.
"This 'first feast' came at an important turning point in human history, right as hunter-gatherers were starting to settle into more permanent living situations," Munro said. And she said she believes ancient gathering for special meals just looked like modern gatherings: People exchange information, make connections, or try to improve their position.
8、What can be concluded about humans 780,000 years ago from Paragraph 1?
A. They were good at fishing. B. They used fire for cooking.
C. They had very sharp teeth. D. They could hunt animals.
9、What does cooking help early humans do according to David Braun?
A. Fuel human evolution. B. Build up their characters.
C.Digest the food easily. D. Become more healthy.
10、What does Munro think of ancient feasts?
A. They benefited human beings' bodies. B. They improved human beings' abilities.
C. They led to cultural diversity. D. They had certain social uses.
11、Where is the text probably taken from?
A. A study. B. A novel. C. A diary. D. A textbook.
According to Dr. John Swaddle, a professor at the Institute for Integrative Conservation at William & Mary, hundreds of millions of birds die every year from window collisions(碰撞).
However, if you put decals(贴花纸) or colorful stickers outside of your windows, the birds are more likely to see the barrier and therefore avoid it. Remember; never inside your window; always outside of your window.
"Double-glazed(双层的) windows reflect a lot of light, especially when you view them from a slight angle, as a flying bird would do," Swaddle told Salon. He is the corresponding author of a recent study which tries to figure out how this basic reality of physics impacts on a bird's experience as it flies near a standard window. For their experiment, researchers had birds perform repeated and controlled flight trials near windows with film(薄膜) products, BirdShades film and Haverkamp film, respectively.
"In our collision avoidance trials, BirdShades increased window avoidance by 47% and the Haverkamp increased avoidance by 39%. But neither product was effective when the films were applied to the internal surface of windows," the authors concluded.
When breaking down the problem of avoiding window collisions from a bird's point of view, Swaddle explained, "The light and reflected imagery from the external surface of the glass is sufficient to obscure a film or decal that is stuck to the inner surface from being seen clearly."
If you want to protect birds from easily avoidable deaths without buying window film products, there are other solutions. Swaddle recommended "pleasing fritted glass that could be used in new construction and which is also bird-friendly". Besides, he notes that screens can be helpful as well, not only by limiting reflectiveness but by providing birds with a cushion if they make impact. It is also possible to use everyday household objects to signal to birds that there are barriers—netting, bits of string, colorful stickers, and paint. These can all be used to this effect.
12、Which of the following can work to reduce bird window collisions?
A. Choosing double-glazed windows.
B. Avoiding opening windows at night.
C.Covering the inner windows with decals.
D. Sticking decals to the outer side of windows.
13、What did the researchers want to find in the experiment?
A. The bird-friendly film products and glass.
B. The efficient measures of collision avoidance.
C. The bird behaviors when hitting the bright window.
D. The link between light reflection and bird window collisions.
14、What does the underlined word "obscure" in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Protect. B.Use. C. Shade. D. Find.
15、What is mainly talked about in the last paragraph?
A. Solutions to reducing the window cost.
B. Other ways to avoid bird collisions.
C.Bird-friendly objects to attract birds.
D. Environmentally friendly glass products.

16、Ways to Cut Your Carbon Footprint
Your carbon footprint, which drives more global warming, is associated with everything from powering our homes to getting around, producing our food and making all the stuff we buy. There are dozens of things we can do to cut our carbon footprint.
Reduce food waste. About one-third of all food gets wasted each year. Producing food that won't be eaten wastes valuable resources, including energy. It also creates a lot of greenhouse gases. Someone could cut their food carbon footprint by 12 percent by not wasting purchased food. ①_____
②_____ Most U.S. electricity comes from a mix of sources, including fossil fuels. Unless a home is fully powered by renewable sources, such as wind and solar, people will need to use less electricity to cut their energy carbon footprint.
Jacket your home with insulation(隔热材料).When it's chilly out, a thick jacket holds in our body heat to keep us warm. ③_____ Thick insulation in the walls, roofs and floors keeps heat inside in winter and outdoors in summer. Roughly four in every five U.S. homes would save energy costs and cut greenhouse gas emissions if they added more insulation.
④_____ People who use traditional vehicles can make up the largest part of their carbon footprint. That's why people should walk more, ride bikes or take mass transportation. If you need to use a car, consider an electric vehicle (EV).Once they hit the roads, EVs don't emit planet-warming gases.
Buy less new stuff. Everything we buy also contributes to our carbon footprints. So a key way to shrink those footprints is to buy fewer new things. Shopping for the secondhand goods cuts much pollution. ⑤_____ And recycle wherever you can.
A. Use less energy.
B. Green your travel.
C. Eat more plant-based foods.
D. So avoid types designed to be used just once.
E. Next best is to extend the life of your products.
F. Insulating our homes does much the same thing.
G.One tip: Buy only as much food as you plan to use.

7、答案：D
解析：主旨大意题。本文主要讲述了作者作为一名美国华裔在做中国菜时遇到的问题,以及由两代人一起开通的美食博客的诞生,由此判断D选项为最佳选项。
8、答案：B
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中“The fish remains, especially teeth, were found near places where researchers also found signs of fire. Testing showed the fish teeth had been exposed to temperatures that were hot, but not super-hot. This suggests the fish were cooked low and slow, rather than being put right onto a fire, Zohar explained.”可推断出,一些直立人已经可以使用火来烹饪食物。
9、答案：A

14、答案：C
解析：词义猜测题。第二段和第四段都强调窗花或薄膜要贴在窗户外面才会起作用,如果贴在玻璃内侧,玻璃外面的光和反射的图像会掩盖窗内的薄膜或贴花,使鸟无法看清。由此推断画线单词的意思为“遮挡”,因此shade的意思最为接近的。
15、答案：B
解析：段落大意题。在文章末段中Swaddle推荐了避免鸟类撞窗死亡的其他几种有效方法,比如使用家里的日常物品向鸟发出信号等。
16、答案：GAFBE

20、答案：B
解析：考查动词。根据上文“leave their homes”以及下文“Johnny had to stay”可以推断,约翰尼在反复劝说老人离开,但并未有任何效果。

37、答案：①traditionally②participated③dynasties④whom⑤closer⑥majoring⑦to know⑧a⑨as⑩have been carried
解析：①考查副词。修饰动词worn应该用副词作状语,故填traditionally。
②考查动词时态。根据时间状语on Feb. 17, 2023判断应该填动词过去式。
③考查名词。该空表示“四个朝代”,故填名词复数。
④考查定语从句。分析结构可知,此处是非限制性定语从句且从句中缺少主语,因先行词是people,故填 whom。
⑤考查形容词的比较级。get close to是固定短语,因前面有even修饰,故填比较级closer。
⑥考查非谓语动词。went是句子的谓语,判断设空处应该用非谓语形式作伴随状语。
⑦考查非谓语动词。短语would like后应该用不定式作宾语,故填to know。
⑧考查冠词。此处是名词短语作guzheng的同位语,泛指“一种中国传统乐器”,故填a。
⑨考查介词。固定搭配 consider...as意为“认为……是”。
⑩考查时态和语态。根据句意以及时间状语 since then判断题空处应该用现在完成时的被动语态,又因主语是activities,故填have been carried。

39、答案：
Dear Daniel,
I'm glad to hear from you knowing that you have a chance to go on an overseas study tour. It is really a good opportunity to learn about the world through travelling.
First of all, when travelling abroad, you can learn a lot of different things that you have never experienced, which can expand your horizons and gain global perspectives. Besides, travelling with others requires you to deal with others in a group, which can help develop your cooperative spirit. Additionally, it can develop your problem-solving ability when you meet with difficulties.
In a word, I hope you can join in and benefit from it.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
