The modern pizza was originally invented in Naples,Italy,but the word pizza is Greek in origin,derived from the Greek word pēktos meaning solid or clotted.The ancient Greeks covered their bread with oils,herbs and cheese.The first major innovation that led to flatbread pizza was the use of tomato as a topping.It was common for the poor of the area around Naples to add tomatoes to their yeastbased flatbread,and so the pizza began.
While it is difficult to say for sure who invented the pizza,it is however believed that modern pizza was first made by baker Raffaele Esposito of Naples.In fact,a popular urban legend holds that the archetypal(原型的) pizza,Pizza Margherita,was invented in 1890,when the Royal Palace of Capodimonte asked the Neapolitan pizzaiolo Raffaele Esposito to create a pizza in honor of the visiting Queen Margherita.Of the three different pizzas he created,the Queen strongly preferred a pie wrapped in the colors of the Italian flag: red(tomato),green(basil),and white(mozzarella).Supposedly,this kind of pizza was then named after the Queen as Pizza Margherita.
Later,the dish has become popular in many parts of the world:
●The first pizzeria,Antica Pizzeria Port'Alba,was opened in 1830 in Naples.
●In North America,the first pizzeria was opened in 1905 by Gennaro Lombardi at 53 Spring Street in New York City.
●The first Pizza Hut,the chain of pizza restaurants appeared in the United States in 1958.
Nowadays,many varieties of pizza exist worldwide,along with several dish variants based upon pizza.

Aunt Fannie was Blueberry Jam Woman.Of course she wasn't really my aunt,and out of fear,I never called that to her face.The name always made my father chuckle (轻笑) and my mother look sternly (严厉地) at both of us—at me for being disrespectful,and at my father for encouraging my bad behavior.I enjoyed both reactions,so I looked for every opportunity to work for the name into conversation.
As a young woman,my mother had worked in the kitchen of a large Victorian farm house owned by Fannie Cratty.Fannie was the last of the Cratty line; she had never married,and had no living heirs(继承人).My father once told me that it was because she was too mean to share her family wealth or pass it on.Aunt Fannie was noted for her jam,and for never sharing the recipe with another living soul.Even though my mother
knew it by heart,as long as Aunt Fannie was alive,she never made the jam without Miss Cratty in our kitchen to direct the process and preserve the secret.
One year,after I had been particularly helpful with the jammaking process.Aunt Fannie gave me a quarter and then made me promise I would never spend it.“Hold onto this quarter,”she said,“and some day you will be rich.I still have my first very quarter.”It had obviously worked for her,so I put that 1938 quarter in a small box,put it in my dresser drawer,and waited to become rich.
I now have the blueberryjam recipe and the quarter from Aunt Fannie.Neither has significantly contributed to my wealth,but I keep them to remind myself to hold onto the valuable things in life.Money can make you feel rich for a while,but it is your relationships,and your memories of time spent with friends and family,that truly leave you wealthy.And that is a fortune that anyone can build.

Woman.Of course she wasn't really my aunt,and out of fear,I never called that to her face.The name always made my father chuckle and my mother look sternly at both of us—at me for being disrespectful,and at my father for encouraging my bad behavior.”可推知,第一段提到作者出于“恐惧”,是因为作者知道称呼Fannie阿姨“蓝莓果酱女士”是不礼貌的。

Ⅲ.阅读七选五
Winter is often bitterly cold,which often makes us stay indoors more instead of heading out to exercise.Worse still,there are many viruses doing their best to make you sick.And sneezing,coughing and nose blowing make the rooms a habitat for viruses. 1 .Touching a doorknob or shaking a hand may make you get sick.Although it may sound terrible,there are still some things you can do to avoid viruses. Here are several simple tips to stay healthy in winters.
Wash your hands
You pick up viruses everywhere and they live on your hands,so wash your hands and do it often. 2 . But if that's not available,use an alcohol based hand sanitizer (消毒杀菌剂). 3 .Avoid touching your eyes,nose and mouth with your hands.That's one way viruses can get into your body.
Get the flu shot (疫苗)
4 ,but getting the flu shot lowers your chances of getting the flu.For example,getting the flu shot last year resulted in a 34% lower risk of coming down with the flu.
Avoid sick people
5 .Viruses spread very easily through the air,so keep at least six feet between you and the sneezing,sniffling and coughing person.
A.It's no guarantee
B.Take care of your face
C.Keep your hands away from your face
D.The best way is to use regular soap and water
E.It is easy for viruses to spread from person to person
F.If someone around you is sick,then keep your distance
G.Because there are always some unexpected things in life
【语篇解读】冬天常常非常冷,这使得我们更多地待在室内而不愿出去锻炼。
而打喷嚏、咳嗽和擤鼻涕使这些房间成为病毒的栖息地。
文章就此提出了一些在冬天保持健康的简单建议。
1.E[根据下文“Touching a doorknob or shaking a hand may make you get sick.”触碰门把手或握手都有可能使你生病,可知病毒在人与人之间很容易传播,故选E。
]
2.D[根据上文“so wash your hands and do it often”可知,强调要多洗手,故下文应为说明如何洗手,故可对应到D选项“最好的方法是使用普通的肥皂和水”,故选D。
]
3.C[根据下文“Avoid touching your eyes,nose and mouth with your hands.”避免用手触摸眼睛、鼻子和嘴巴。
可知,眼睛、鼻子和嘴巴都是脸上的器官,因此本句应为“让手远离你的脸”,故选C。
]
4.A[根据下文“but getting the flu shot lowers your chances of getting the flu”可知,注射流感疫苗会降低患流感的几率,故可推理注射疫苗并不能保证不被传染,故选A。
]
5.F[根据下文“Viruses spread very easily through the air,so keep at least six feet between you and the sneezing,sniffling and coughing person.”病毒很容易在空气中传播,所以你和打喷嚏、擤鼻涕和咳嗽的人之间至少要保持6英尺的距离,可知,本段强调要和周围生病的人保持距离。
故选F。

When gold was discovered in Coloma,California in 1848,news travelled fast and many went there to find their fortune.Before 1849,California was a place focusing mainly on agriculture.As word of the gold discovery spread,many people left their fields to seek their fortune.With more and more travellers arriving,restaurants and hotels were built to feed and accommodate(提供住宿)them.
On the mining sites,men were often forced to cook for themselves since few gold diggers were women.In the early days,both food and riches were plentiful and miners could uncover $2,000 worth of gold in just one day.When it came to food,there were plenty of wild animals to be hunted,and meat,beans and coffee could be purchased at a reasonable price.Times appeared to be good.
Over time,because the majority of food in California had to be imported,it became very expensive.Simple foods like eggs and bread were sold for one dollar a piece in 1849.Besides,fruit and vegetables were scarce (缺乏的).Therefore,many gold diggers couldn't get enough food,and some even had no food at all at last.But the gold diggers also hated to tear themselves away from their search for gold and turned to quick and simple meals that could be cooked over hot ashes.
During the Gold Rush,San Francisco's famous sourdough(酸面团)bread became a main type of food.Miners would often buy a piece in
the morning that would be eaten slowly throughout the day.The Boudin family,who came from France,was partly responsible for putting San Francisco sourdough on the map.The Boudin bakery has used the same sourdough,a piece of socalled mother dough since 1849.And when the 1906 earthquake hit,Louise Boudin managed to save some sourdough,ensuring that each piece of bread that came from the bakery would be linked throughout history.So far the Boudin bakery has remained in California,using the sourdough that is the same as the one in 1849.

了自己的想法后就会和父母产生矛盾,作者建议双方都要从对方的角度看待问题,多体谅理解对方。

thing是可数名词指代事情或物,前面有hundreds of来修饰,所以要用复数。
句意:当你还是孩子的时候你父母替你管理许多事情。
故填things。
]
2.themselves[考查代词。

correct有形容词和动词两种用法,意思分别是“正确的”和“修正”,make decisions “做决定”,是动词词组,所以应用副词correctly 来修饰。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Children who drink more milk do not necessarily develop healthier bones,researchers said on Monday in a report that stresses exercise and modest consumption of calcium-rich (含钙丰富的) foods such as tofu and broccoli (花椰菜).
The report drew its conclusions from previously published studies and was written by researchers from the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine,which advocates a strict vegetarian diet.“Under scientific study,the support for the milk myth is defeated.This analysis of 58 published studies shows that the evidence on which U.k intake recommendations are based is scant.”Said study author Dr.Amy Lanou in a statement.
The U.ernment has gradually increased recommendations for daily calcium intake,largely from milk products.But the Physicians Committee's report said increasing consumption of milk products was not necessarily the best way to provide the necessary calcium intake of at least 400 milligrams per day.Other ways to get the absorbable calcium found in one cup of cow's milk include a cup of orange juice,two packages of instant oats (燕麦),twothirds cup of tofu,or 12/3 cups of broccoli,the report said.And it also pointed out that milk products provide 18 percent of the total fat energy and 25 percent of the total fat intake in the diets of American children who are developing increasing rates of obesity.
Frank Greer,who specializes in children's illnesses at the University of Wisconsin in Madison,said the ideal way to achieve the goal of healthy bones is to make sure children exercise and consume up to 1,300 milligrams a day of calcium.

UK physicist Isaac Newton once said,“Nature is pleased with simplicity and nature is no dummy (傻子).” Indeed,Mother Nature can provide almost everything human beings need if we follow her rules.But if we break the rules,she is likely to be cruel.
The outbreak of the novel coronavirus pneumonia (新型冠状病毒肺炎,NCP) in China and some other countries is an example.According to Xinhua Ne w s Agency,the new coronavirus is similar to a virus found in a bat in 2017 and probably has an intermediate host (中间宿主).If it is believed that the virus originated from the Huanan Seafood Market in Wuhan,Hubei Province,where live wild animals were sold.
The Wall Street Journal reported that Dr. Peter Daszak,president of the USbased health organization EcoHealth Alliance,said,“This outbreak is a lesson for us.On a global scale,human population density (密度),wildlife diversity,and land use change are what drive new pandemics (流行病).”
In ancient times,people needed to rely on nature to survive so they held it in awe (敬畏).For example,the American Indians believed that humans are a part of nature and nature is a pail of humans.Chinese ancients always pursued the harmony between nature and human beings.
However,as human beings master more knowledge and make more advanced tools,people try to change and even conquer nature.They use more land to make buildings,genetically modify plants,capture some wild and rare animals to suit their own needs.In this process,humans gradually lose contact with nature and even throw it out of balance.For example,cutting a large number of forests means carbon dioxide must build up in the atmosphere and it contributes to global warming.
Although we don't know for sure what first caused the NCP outbreak,
Brian Lamacraft at Medium said it's time for people to “reflect on our relationship with our plant”reconnect with this world and everything that we've been given.After all,according to US poet Gary Snyder,“Nature is not the place to visit.It's our home.”
