12、 and flavour. Xiaolongbao-Shanghai, China Shanghais Xiaolongbao is filled with pork and aspic, which makes it special. Aspic is a meat combination that melts into soup when heated. As a result, the tiny buns are tasty and salty. They are found throughout the city, so people enjoy standing up at stre
13、et stalls and restaurant-fronts by Shanghais business set. Pho-Hanoi, Vietnam Pho is noodle soup. Ingredients in the soup are simple: noodles, meat (chicken or beef), and garnishes (green onion, thai basil, lime and chilis). But what really sets pho apart is its soup, made by simmering bones with on
14、ion and ginger, spices and seasonings, ideally for hours on end to get the flavour just right. Penang AsamLaksa-Penang, Malaysia Penang AsamLaksa is spicy noodle soup made with thick rice noodles.

B Two summers ago, Spencer Seabrooke stepped off the edge of a cliff and out into the air. He was held up by a narrow band of fabric, three centimet
19、res wide. The slackline (扁带) went over a deep channel on the top of Stawamus Chief Mountain in Squamish, Canada. The plan was to walk across without safety equipment. The ground was 290 metres below Seabrooks feet. A fall meant death. The walking distance of 64 metres would mark a world record in fr
20、ee solo slacklining. “Youre standing on nothing,” Seabrooke said at the time. “Everything inside your body is telling you this is wrong.” Several steps into the crossing, Seabrooke looked down. He lowered his body to steady himself and reached with his hands to hold the slackline. He suddenly turned
21、 over but hung on. He righted himself, let out a few screams, and stood again. He had walked the same slackline-with assistance-many times before. Finally, he crossed in four minutes and made it. Slacklining became known in the early 1980s, around the rock climbing scene at Yosemite National Park in
22、 California. Scott Balcom, in 1985, was the first to walk on a 17-metre highline on Lost Arrow Spire, the valley bottom some 880 metres below. Charles “Chongo” Tucker, who has been living in Yosemite for a long time, was there in slacklinings earliest days. Later, in 1994, he was one of the next peo
23、ple to walk the Lost Arrow Spire highline. “As scared as I was, it was as cool as anything Ive ever done in my life,” said Tucker. Seabrooke grew up in Peterborough, Canada, in love with the outdoors. He saw a documentary in 2012 that was about Andy Lewis, a slackliner and free solo pioneer who perf
24、ormed at the Super Bowl. Seabrooke was attracted and devoted himself to the sport. Three years later, he walked his record free solo highline on the Stawamus Chief. The attention Seabrooke won led to work, everything from commercials to paid appearances at slackline festivals from Poland to China. “

C Austin residents and businesses are making efforts to put their leftovers to good use. The city is among a handful of U.S.cities aiming fo
28、r “zero waste”. For Austin, there are plenty to go around: it annually wastes more than 190 million pounds of food,worth at least $200 million.Those numbers are big,but theyre not out of line with national trends-some 40 percent of food in the nation goes to waste.Put in plain terms,that is enough t
29、o fill a 90,000-seat stadium each day. For many,the answer lies in donation. Austin City Limits,one of the citys influential festivals, gives all unwanted food to the Central Texas Food Bank. And there are volunteer-driven nonprofits that pick up donated food and deliver it to hungry people. But the
30、 best practice, Austin believes,is to use less,and the city is calling on businesses and households to buy the right amount of food. Full Fridge, a new meal-delivery service, solves this problem. “Full Fridge came about because, basically, we were seeing a lot of people not knowing how to prepare fo
31、od,” says co-founder Mokshika Sharma. They would buy groceries, but not know what to do with them, and end up throwing away a lot. Her business hopes to end that problem by offering ready-made meals for only five dollars each. Full Fridge also minimizes waste by stopping sales two days before delive
32、ry, so the chef and shopper can plan precisely. Another satisfactory solution is to compost(将制成堆肥）it. Austins restaurants and grocery stores typically contract with composting companies to deal with much of their food waste, and then sell it as fertilizer. Meanwhile,Compost Pedallers, a company crea
33、ted by Dustin Fedako, is working on bicycle-powered compost collection. “We play the dot-connecter,”says Fedako,“getting the material from those of us who are making it to the people in the community who use it as a resource to grow more food,and to grow better quality food.” 28.What do the figures
34、in Paragraph 2 indicate? A.The urgent need for donated food. B.The rapid growth in food donation. C.The ambitious goal of“zero waste”.

35、n nonprofits. D.hold festivals to entertain its residents. 30.Who are Full Fridges target customers? A.Those with too little food. B.Those with poor cooking skills.

36、nnecter”? A.They find it rather easy to collect food waste. B.They hope people will buy better quality food. C.They link food waste producers to fertilizer users. D.They are trying to connect with composting companies. D Ever walked to the shops only to find, once there, youve completely forgotten w
37、hat you went for? Or struggled to remember the name of an old friend? For years weve accepted that a forgetful brain is as much a part of aging as wrinkles and gray hair. But now a new book suggests that weve got it all wrong. According to The Secret Life of the Grown-up Brain, by science writer Bar
38、bara Strauch, when it comes to the important things, our brains actually get better with age. In fact, she argues that some studies have found that our brain hits its peak between our 40s and 60s much later than previously thought. Furthermore, rather than losing many brain cells as we age, we keep
39、them, and even produce new ones well into middle age. For years its been assumed that brain, much like the body, declines with age. But the longest, largest study into what happens to people as they age suggests otherwise. This continuing research has followed 6,000 people since 1956, testing them e
40、very seven years. It has found that on average, participants performed better on cognitive (认知的) tests in their 40s and 50s than they had done in their 20s. Specifically, older people did better on tests of vocabulary, verbal memory (how many words you can remember) and problem solving. Where they p
41、erformed less well was number ability and perceptual speed how fast you can push a button when ordered. However, with more complex tasks such as problem-solving and language, we are at our best at middle age and beyond. In short, researchers are now coming up with scientific proof that we do get wis
42、er with age. Neuroscientists are also finding that we are happier with aging. A recent US study found older people were much better at controlling and balancing their emotions. It is thought that when were younger we need to focus more on the negative aspects of life in order to learn about the poss
43、ible dangers in the world, but as we get older weve learned our lessons and are aware that we have less time left in life. Therefore, it becomes more important for us to be happy. 32. Barbara Strauch probably agrees that _. A. the young are better at handling important things B. aging leads to the d
44、ecline of the function of the brain C. peoples brains work best between their 40s and 60s D. wrinkles and gray hair are the only symbols of aging 33. The continuing research has found older people perform better on _. A. perceptual speed B. number ability C. vocabulary tests D. body balance 34. Peop

D. they do not realize the possible dangers. 35. What is the main idea of the passage? A. People get happier with age. B. People get wiser with age
46、. C. People get more forgetful with age. D. People get more self-aware with age. 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 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。 Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia (百科全书), is the largest encyclopedia ever. An encyclopedia is a collection of informative articles about various th
47、ings. Encyclopedias used to be printed as books. 36 “Wiki”is an internet term that means“a website that can be edited by the public. ”It comes from“wikiwiki”，a Hawaiian word for“quick”. Two Americans, Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger, created Wikipedia in 2001. 37 It has about 6 million articles in 300
48、languages and is visited by billions of people each day,who want to find information on just about anything-science, math, languages, art, cultureand company histories. There are articles on sports stars, too, and even long-forgotten soap operas from the 1970s. 38 Except for a small number of pages,
49、 anyone can edit articles, anonymously (匿名地） or with a user account, and registered users can create their own articles. Editing is unpaid, although Wikipedia does employ a small staff. Wikipedia is freely available to anyone with an internet connection. Its founders hoped that the model would make use of humanitys collective knowledge. 39 Many Wikipedia pages contain errors, although the organization has a content review system that works to fix this problem.
