There was such a “representatin gap”, as Sarah puts it, in terms f what kinds f cuisines were nticeably featured in thse early days f TV celebrity chefs and the emerging fd blgsphere (博客圈).
As it turns ut, thugh, the Leungs were uniquely psitined t d smething abut it. Bill, the father, had spent years cking beef at his family’s Chinese American takeut restaurant. Judy, the mm, was brn and raised in Shanghai and had deep knwledge abut traditinal Shanghainese cking. Meanwhile, the tw sisters had grwn up in the New Jersey suburbs, eating their parents’ fd, but als grwing in America’s wn fd-bsessed culture.
S, in 2013, the Leungs started The Wks f Life. What distinguished their blg frm thers was that the intergeneratinal heritage (传承) f knwledge that the Leungs were s eager fr was baked right int the cncept—The fur family members tk turns psting recipes, each sharing their wn favrites, tapping int their wn areas f expert knwledge.
Kaitlin is prud that The Wks f Life fllws alng line f pineers-flks like Jyce Chen, Martin Yan and Ming Tsai, wh first started t bring Chinese hme cking int the mainstream in the US. “We feel prud that we have made a meaningful mark ver the past decade, casting light that there’s a huge demand fr these recipes,” she says .“It’s abut representatin, yes, but there’s als a huge demand. Asian Americans lk t recnnect with the fd f their heritage.”
Five years ag, yu wuldn’t have been able t find a tn f Chinese recipes in the New Yrk Times fd sectin, Kaitlin ntes. Nw yu can.

Every rder f takeut cmes with aside f single-use plastics and each plastic frk, knife, spn and straw—whether r nt yu wanted it r used it—ends up in the trash.
New research fund that 139 millin metric tns f single-use plastic waste was generated in 2021—six millin metric tns mre single-use plastics cmpared t2019. A hunger fr takeut meals during the pandemic cntributed t the surge.
An estimated 60%f Americans rder takeut r delivery at least nce a week and nline rdering is grwing 300%faster than in-huse dining; that means millins f single-use plastic utensils (餐具) are ging ut with every rder.
New laws aim t address the prblem. Sme f the recent bills are thanks t The Natinal Reuse Netwrk, part f the envirnmental nnprfit Upstream, which launched a natinal Skip the Stuff campaign t wrk ut plicies that require restaurants t include single-use plastic utensils, straws, and napkins nly when custmers request them.
The bills als require meal delivery and nline apps like Uber Eats, GrubHub and Dr Dash t add single-use extras t their menus; custmers can chse the items and quantities t have them included in the rder. Custmers that dn’t rder the single-use plastics wn’t receive them.
The gal f the bills is t reduce the 40 billin plastic utensils sent t the landfill (填埋场) every year.
“Mst f the time, peple are taking fd hme r t their ffices where there are reusable utensils s these utensils wind up in a drawer r get thrwn ut,” says Gldsmith. “Sme peple d need utensils, but fr the mst part, they’re nt needed.”
T date, Skip the Stuff bills have been passed in several cities, including Denver, Washingtn, D. C. and Chicag. Califrnia and Washingtn state passed statewide bills that make single-use plastic “accessries” available with takeut rders nly upn request.
Organizatins like upstream, Beynd plastics and NRDC have created tlkits t help additinal cmmunities launch their wn Skip the Stuff campaigns.
28．What des the underlined wrd “surge” in paragraph 2 prbably mean?

D. Using identical prducts natinwide.
30．What is the aim f the newly passed bills?

Crws (乌鸦) are undeniably intelligent. Frm making tls t hlding hatred, crws have been surprising the scientific cmmunity with their skillset. In fact, a study nce published in the jurnal Current Bilgy fund “the crw brain is the same relative size as the chimpanzee (大猩猩) brain”.
Nw, a study published in Science Advances finds crws understand what is knwn as recursin (递归). Prir t this study, recursin was believed t be unique t humans.
“We were interested in the ability t represent recursive structures—defined here as having elements be put within ther similar elements,” Diana Lia said, wh is the study’s first authr. Lia says it was surprising t discver crws “were able t knw the underlying recursive structure f the rders” upn first expsure. This makes the birds similar t humans, wh are able t extract patterns with little experience. “Recursin is thught t be a key feature f human symblic systems such as language r mathematics—and since these are thught t be unique t humans—there’s been interest in whether nn-human animals can grasp and generate recursive structures,” says Lia.
What exactly is recursin? Lia explains: “A classic example sentence is ‘the muse the cat caught ran’ where the clause the cat caught’ is within the clause’ the muse wh ran’. These cmplex structures are fund in human languages but nt in animal cmmunicatin systems which suggest that recursin might be what separates them.”
The findings f this study are significant since they shw recursive ability in animals that are nt clsely related t chimpanzees. “This suggests that this ability is either very evlutinarily (进化) ancient r that is a prduct f cnvergent evlutin,” says Lia. “Als, it wuld prpse that certain brain structures are nt necessary t supprt this ability since birds have a dramatically different neural architecture.”
Lia says scientists knw crws are smart but the extent f their intelligence is really unexpected. “Everyne has the impressin that crws are super smart but I simply didn’t knw just hw intelligent they are.”
32．What is the finding f the new study?
A. Crws can make tls.
B. Crws understand recursin.
C. Crws can create special patterns.
D. Crws and chimpanzees are f a brain size.
33．Which structure can shw Crws’ special ability?
A. I bught a bk
B. My bk was missing.
C. The bk I bught was missing.
D. My bk was missing and I bught ne.
34．What impressed Diana Lia?
A. Crws’ intelligence level.B. Crws’ bdy structure.
C. The reasn fr Crws’s martness.D. peple’s impressin f crws.
35．What can be the best title fr the text?
A. Crws Are Humans’ clse Relatives
B. Crws Are Fund the cleverest Bird
C. Crws Have the Ability t Learn t speak
D. Crws Have a Human-like Grammar skill

As I was leaving my fitness class ne evening, my instructr called acrss the parking lt t me. “Hey! Jane! It lks like yur muffler (消音器) under yur truck is hanging kind f lw!”
Hnestly speaking, I didn’t like my instructr. The black birthmark n his face made him a little ugly. I just ndded, waved and climbed int my truck. Yeah, whatever, I figured. Yu’re the instructr. Wrry abut keeping my weight lw, nt abut my muffler being lw.
Then I was driving hme, singing alng with the radi when suddenly I heard: CLUNK! THUD! SCRAPE-RATTLE-RATTLE! At first, I thught it was part f the sng, but then I realized it was a sund I had never heard in this sng.
I lked in my dr mirrr and saw sparks (火花) dancing alng the rad behind my truck. I pulled ff t the side f the rad t have a lk.
The muffler was fine as far as I culd tell. Hwever, the metal bracket (托架) that apparently held the muffler up under the truck had brken lse, and the muffler was resting n the pavement. I wasn’t sure what had caused this t happen.
I decided the best idea was t pick up the muffler and hped that, smehw, it wuld stick back n the underside f my truck. Let me tell yu, it’s surprising hw ht a muffler can get in just a shrt drive.
Still blwing n my painful fingertips, I called my father and tld him what was happening t his truck. “Whatever yu d, dn’t tuch the muffler,” he tld me. “It will be very ht.”
“If yu can wait, I will call the garage t repair but yu have t wait fr half an hur. But yu can als manage it by yurself,” he said.
“I can have a try. I dn’t want t wait,” I said.
“Then yu can find sme rpes, and then climb under the truck t temprarily reattach the muffler.”
I searched the truck but the nly thing I fund was a spare tire and a pair f shes.

These cmplex structures are fund in human languages but nt in animal cmmunicatin systems which suggest that recursin might be what separates them.(一个经典的例句是‘猫抓的老鼠跑了’，其中‘猫抓的’是‘老鼠跑了’这个从句中的一部分。这些复杂的结构在人类语言中发现，但在动物交流系统中却没有，这表明递归可能是将它们区分开来的关键)”可推知，乌鸦可以分析出句子中的从句结构。故选C。

52．答案：①f②was carried③which④.t strengthen⑤creative⑥its⑦clarifying⑧applicatin⑨fully⑩a
解析：①考查介词 cnsist f是固定搭配，意为"由……组成"。
②考查时态、语态和主谓一致。根据空后的"during last year's Internatinal Cpyright Frum"可知，空处应填一般过去时；prgram与carry ut 之间为被动关系，应用被动语态；且主语prgram为第三人称单数,故填was carried。
③考查定语从句引导词。该项目是在去年江西景德镇举行的国际版权论坛期间开展的。根据句意和句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，且在从句中作主语，又先行词为Internatinal Cpyright Frum,指物,故填which。
④考查非谓语动词。it's essential t d sth.意为"做某事是极其重要的"。空处应填不定式，在句中作真正的主语，it为形式主语。
⑤考查形容词。分析句子结构可知，空处修饰名词 transfrmatin,应填形容词，故填creative。
⑥考查代词。分析句子结构可知，空处修饰后面的名词短语"cultural self-cnfidence and self-grwth"，应用形容词性物主代词，故填its。
⑦考查非谓语动词。根据句子结构和空前的"giving full play t advantages f lcal flk resurces"可知，and 连接两个并列的现在分词充当状语，故填clarifying。
⑧考查名词。根据空前的" innvatin"和空后的"management and services"可知，空处应填apply的名词形式，充当动词 prmte的宾语，故填applicatin。
⑨考查副词。空处在句中修饰动词advance,应填full 的副词形式fully。fully advance high-quality develpment 意为"全面推进高质量发展"。
⑩考查冠词。版权保护是一种保证，所以我们愿意加强与世界的交流与合作。guarantee"保证"为可数名词，此处表泛指，且 guarantee的发音以辅音音素开头，故填不定冠词a。

解析：本文是一篇记叙文，以人物为线索。作者上完健身课准备开车回家，教练提醒她说卡车下面的消音器挂得有点低，但是作者不以为意。后来在路上作者发现火花四射，原来是固定消音器的金属支架松动了，消音器搁在了路面上。作者和父亲打电话求助，父亲说要么等待修车厂的人来，要么她自己动手，于是作者决定自己解决。在作者操作的时候，教练出现了，他主动帮助作者固定好了支架。这件事让作者改变了对别人的看法，明白了不能以貌取人。
【详解】1. 续写线索：
①由续写第一段首句“‘你可以取下松动的支架，把它放在消音器下面，’我父亲说。”和第二段首句“突然的声音吓了我一跳，支架摔成了两半。”可知，第一段可以描写作者在车下固定支架的过程，并且在作者操作的时候突然听到有人对她说话。
②由续写第二段首句“突然的声音吓了我一跳，支架摔成了两半。”可知，第二段可以描写作者从车底钻出来后发现原来是教练，教练帮助她装好了支架，这件事也让作者改变了自己的态度，明白不能以貌取人。
2. 段落续写：父亲建议取下支架并把它安在消音器下面—作者认为这是个好主意—作者钻到车底下取支架—突然的声音吓得作者把支架摔成两半—原来是教练来了—教练明白了事情后向作者道歉，并帮助作者安支架—这件事改变了作者
