B
Abut ten years ag, I was invited t a dinner party in Guangzhu and was impressed by hw extrardinary the dishes were. The bird’s nest sup, cked with chicken and perhaps a little ham and dried scallps (干贝),
tasted gentle and silky. The sea cucumber was rich and sticky, while the fish, steamed t perfect sftness, was incredibly fresh. Hwever, what std ut was the plain white sup f brth (肉汁), served at the end. It was simple, plain, and perfect.
Fr many Westerners, finishing a meal with sup may seem unusual, since desserts are expected at the end.
Hwever, as English fd writer Fuchsia Dunlp explains in her bk Invitatin t a Banquet, sup reflects a chef’ s
craftsmanship just as a singer’s vice reveals artistic skill. A clear brth can serve as the ideal cnclusin t a
luxurius meal, calming the taste after a series f strng flavrs.
Invitatin t a Banquet is Dunlp’s seventh bk. Unlike her ther bks n Chinese cuisine such as The Fd f Sichuan and Revlutinary Kitchen, this ne is nt a ckbk. Instead, she has chsen 30 dishes frm different regins f China t illustrate different aspects f Chinese cuisine and histry.
What makes Dunlp’s writing unique is her perspective. She argues that Chinese cuisine is superir nt nly in taste but als in its ability t assimilate freign influences while still maintaining its wn identity. Furthermre, Dunlp makes an equally cnvincing case that what Westerners think f as “Chinese fd” is neither false nr
wrng. It is merely a diaspric (离散的) branch that reflects lcal tastes and is representative f the cuisine’s
diversity. Immigratin and adventurusness have made authentic Chinese fd mre accessible utside China than ever befre.
In cnclusin, Invitatin t a Banquet by Dunlp prvides a fascinating glimpse int the wrld f Chinese cuisine. Thrugh her well-researched bk and insightful discussins, she encurages readers t appreciate the cmplexity and richness f Chinese fd.
4. Which dish impressed the authr mst at the banquet?
A. The simple white brth. B. The silky bird’s nest sup.
C. The perfectly steamed fresh fish. D. The rich and sticky sea cucumber.
5. What is the rle f sup in a banquet accrding t Dunlp?
A. T shw its value thrugh rare ingredients. B. T replace desserts due t a lack f sweets.
C. T prve the chefs favr simplicityver skill. D. T ffer a balanced ending after strng flavrs.
6. What des the underlined wrd “assimilate” mean in Para. 4?
A. Include. B. Reject. C. Strengthen. D. Reduce.
7. What is the type f the text?
A. A dairy entry. B. A bk review. C. A research reprt. D. A cking guide.

Classics are the gems (宝石) f the literary wrld. Fr years, peple have read them t gain knwledge. But nw, an increasing number f peple instead enjy these classics in nline vide series.
Accrding t a 2023 reprt by the Chinese shrt-vide platfrm Duyin, the views fr bk-related vides jumped by 65.17 percent year-n-year. As peple becme busier in cmpetitive scial envirnments, the brief literary explanatins prvided in shrt vides enable sme t experience stries frm a fresh perspective in fleeting mments. “I watch them n the subway, in a queue r befre bed. Shrt vides cmbine text, images and expressins, prviding a better experience than just reading text alne,” a man surnamed Zhang tld Xinhua.
The fearsme length and cmplexity (复 杂 性 ) f classics are als reasns why sme peple, especially teenagers, are turning t literature vlggers (vide blggers) fr help. A Dream f Red Mansins is well-knwn fr its detailed
descriptin f Chinese sciety, clrful characters and petic language. It explres themes like family, sciety and human nature. Hwever, these very qualities make the nvel challenging fr sme students, wh find it
bring r even sleep-inducing (困倦的) . “There are s many characters in the nvel, which cnfused me a lt,” said 12-year-ld ShaXinyan frm Hubei. “Sme vlggers use a mind map t clearly shw their relatinship.”
While reading with vides helps many peple, sme express different pinins and cncerns. Fr Zhang Bren, a 13-year-ld frm Beijing, reading is a jurney in which peple frm a persnal cnnectin with the text, nt just absrbing facts. “Bks that inspire my imaginatin, like fantasy adventures and histrical stries, demand a deeper cnnectin. Vides, althugh cnvenient, can’t fully present the small details f a well-written stry,” said Zhang. Eighteen-year-ld Wang Hngjie frm Sichuan agreed, saying, “It may decrease readers’ ability t read independently and think deeply.”
8. Why d mre peple turn t shrt vides fr classic literature?
A. Shrt vides save time and ffer vivid experiences.
B. Classic bks are ften t ut-f-date t be ppular.
C. They’re lacking in the mtivatin f reading cmpletely.
D. Vide platfrms prvide mre and mre bk-related cntent.
9. What makes A Dream f Red Mansins challenging fr sme students?
A. Its unfamiliar themes and brief descriptin. B. Its fcus n ancient scial culture in China.
C. Its petic language and varius characters. D. Its unique writing features and target readers.
10. What is Zhang Bren’s pinin n enjying classics via vides?
A. Vides cntribute mre t inspiring imaginatin. B. Reading bks increases readers’ independence.
C. Reading bks fr readers is nly t absrb facts. D. Vides are unlikely t cntain all riginal details.
11. What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. “Watch” the Classics B. “Update” the Vides
C. “Apprach” Literature D. “Play” with Vlggers

In munting glbal plastic pllutin — a crisis wrsened by 400 millin tns f annual waste, 46% f which are single-use PET plastics — researchers have engineered PETase Plus, a biengineered enzyme (酶) capable f degrading PET plymers (聚 合 物 ) 90% faster than natural enzymes. Published in Nature Bitechnlgy, this breakthrugh, achieved thrugh multinatinal cperatin, culd redefine waste management by transfrming nn-recyclable plastics int reusable raw materials. Yet, its significance extends far beynd labratries, sparking heated debates amng scientists, plicymakers, and envirnmentalists.
Unlike cnventinal recycling, which demands energy-intensive prcesses (exceeding 250℃) t melt plastics and prduce useless materials, PETase Plus perates under mild cnditins. By degrading PET’s mlecular bnds, it breaks dwn plastics int base cmpnents that can be re-integrated int high-quality prducts r even bifuels. Accrding t Dr. Liam
Harper, lead authr f the study, “This methd cuts energy cnsumptin by 60% and carbn emissins by 80%, ffering industries a cst-effective and ec-friendly alternative t traditinal methds.”
Hwever, critics warn against unchecked ptimism. While PETase Plus excels in cntrlled lab envirnments, applying it fr industrial r envirnmental use risks unintended eclgical harm. Dr. Emily Carter, a bichemist, warns, “Engineered enzymes released int landfills r ceans might als degrade natural plymers, damaging sil
structures r marine ecsystems. Withut prper cntrl, the slutin t plastic waste culd becme an eclgical disaster.”
Ethical(伦 理 的 ) cnflicts further cmplicate its adptin. Envirnmentalists insist plastic makers — respnsible fr 70% f glbal PET prductin — shuld fund large-scale applicatin f the technlgy. Hwever, industry leaders argue that gvernments must prvide financial supprt t encurage innvatin. Meanwhile, develping natins, where waste management system is underdevelped, view PETase Plus as a ptential lifeline, thugh fears spread that wealthy cuntries might nt share the technlgy.
As research advances, PETase Plus is facing a challenge: a scientific success shadwed by ethical and eclgical dilemmas. Its success relies nt merely n bichemical efficiency but n multi-party cperatin t balance innvatin with caring fr ur planet.
12. What is ne advantage f PETase Plus ver traditinal recycling methds?
A. It reduces the cst by 60%.
B. It remves the need fr industrial funding.
C. It prduces bifuels straight frm plastic waste.
D. It functins effectively at relatively lw temperatures.
13. What cncern d critics emphasize abut PETase Plus?
A. Its applicatin range is limited. B. It may disturb natural ecsystems.
C. It requires expensive lab equipment. D. Its mechanism is nt yet understd.
14. Why des the authr qute Dr. Emily Carter?
A. T stress the necessity fr eclgical regulatins.
B. T questin the enzyme’s degradatin efficiency.
C. T call fr industry-led innvatin.
D. T highlight the technical limitatins f PETase Plus.
15. What can be a pssible result f the future applicatin f PETase Plus?
A. Eclgical risks will be remved.
B. Gvernments will stp funding traditinal recycling.
C. Ethical cnflicts might prevent its widespread applicatin.
D. Develping natins will reject the technlgy due t high csts.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was a ht day in New Yrk City. I had brunch with a friend and picked up my new glasses. All dne and headed back n the train. I wanted t yell at a cuple f peple fr their rude behavir, but wisely just sat quietly.
An ld black gentleman entered the far end f the train car. In wrn but neat clthes, he tipped his faded cap and greeted everyne with a warm “Gd afternn, flks.” Mst ignred him, with cld blank faces. Then, he
started t sing. I didn’t turn my head, but I felt a smile in my sul. Many peple ask fr mney n the train, but I always feel happy when smene ffers music instead. It feels like a gift.
I let the ntes settle in fr a secnd befre my eyes wandered. A yung by acrss frm me, maybe ten,
watched him, swaying (摇摆) t the rhythm, his mther t distracted by her phne t ntice.
He started his secnd sng and my heart did a happy dance. “Lean n me, when yu’re nt strng. I’ll be yur friend...” I lve that sng! Withut thinking, I sftly sang a little harmny with him. Right away, I decided he culd have the $5 bill in my purse.
He lked tall and thin, but he had a strng vice and kind energy. Life had clearly been hard fr him, but he still std tall and carried himself with quiet dignity.
I rlled the bill tightly and waited fr him t make his way t me. He held the verhead bar t steady himself as he inched dwn the car, pausing briefly beside each seat like he was waiting fr a sign — thugh n ne
glanced up. N ne was making any mves t give him cins r reach fr their wallet.
注意：(1) 续写词数应为 150 左右；(2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1: Smehw, he nticed me singing alng.

Paragraph 2: It was still ht and sticky inside the car, but smething had changed.
【答案】 Smehw, he nticed me singing alng. He lked up and slwly walked tward me, his eyes
shining with surprise and warmth. I slipped the rlled bill int his rugh hand, and he gave me a grateful nd. Then, leaning clser, he whispered, “Sing with me, sister.” Withut hesitatin, I jined him. Our vices blended, his strng and sulful, mine sft but steady. Fr a mment, the crwded train car felt like a tiny cncert hall, filled nt with heat and impatience, but with harmny.
It was still ht and sticky inside the car, but smething had changed. One by ne, passengers lifted their heads, listening. The yung by’s swaying turned int clapping, his laughter breaking thrugh the dull silence. A few
thers began humming alng, and even his mther put dwn her phne. When the sng ended, cins and bills
appeared in the man’s cap frm every directin. He std taller, pride glwing in his smile, and I felt a quiet jy — prf that even in a weary city, music culd pen hearts and bring strangers tgether.
