A
What to Eat—and What to Skip—When It Comes to Takeout Food
If the burden on your wallet doesn't bother you much, the effect your takeout habit can have on your waistline just might arouse your attention. Here's the best and worst of the lot for your belly.
Steamed Vegetable Dumplings: Order This.
When she orders Chinese, registered dietitian nutritionist Elisa Zied gets an order of steamed vegetable dumplings. "I often pair them with either chicken and broccoli in brown sauce（I ask for a little saucemade without sugar）or steamed shrimp dumplings," she tells us.
Crab Wontons: Not That!
When you deconstruct crab wontons, it's easy to see why they're a "Not That!" The inside is filled with crabmeat and cream cheese（which is just a fancy, spreadable fat）.The wonton is made of refined flour, egg and salt and the crispy（脆的）coating is a result of a deep oil bath.
Peking Duck: Order This.
Most of the fat from the skin flows out of the duck over the course of cooking, making this a healthier choice than most of the stir-fry dishes available. Order a side of steamed vegetables and serve it with a small scoop of brown rice. Done and done!
Sweet and Sour Anything: Not That!
Anything with “sweet and sour” in its title is a powerful cue that something has been deep-fried and covered in a sickly-sweet pink sauce. If you pair your selection with a side of rice, you're looking at a 1,000-calorie meal.
Summer Roll: Order This.
Summer rolls are steamed instead of fried—and typically filled with lean proteins and vegetables, making them a winning appetizer in our book. Pair them with an order of edamame（毛豆）and a broth-based soup for a satisfying, filling meal.
Spring Roll: Not That!
Spring=deep-fried, which is why we say to skip them! They're filled with fat and calories your belly doesn't need.
1.What kind of cooking method should be skipped according to the text?
A.Steaming.
B.Stir-frying.
C.Deep-frying.
D.Boiling.
2.Which of the following suits as a good starter for a meal?
A.Chicken and broccoli.
B.Steamed vegetable dumplings.
C.Peking duck.

A.In a recipe.
B.In a guidebook.

From skateboarding to Fleetwood Mac, TikTok users got creative in a pandemic (流行病) year with new songs, dances and shows in 60 seconds or less.
The social mediavideo app on Wednesday shared its list of top 100 videos, creators and trends in America during 2020. “These videos brought joy and inspiration to millions of Americans in the rough year,” said Kudzi Chikumbu, director of creator community at TikTok.
The platform has been widely associated with Generation Z (people born after 1996), millennials (people born in the 1980s or 1990s) and influencers who have started careers based on the shared videos.
The Weeknd'sBlinding Lightsand Jason Derulo's Savage Loveinspired TikTok dance challenges that made them among the top songs used on the app.
For some TikTok creators, the pandemic itself became inspiration to create a connection with other users. Comedian Caitlin Reilly used the app during quarantine (隔离) to make fun of those annoying coworkers for one of the top liked videos. And singer Curtis Roach made an song for the endless days at home with his song Bored in the House.
The second most popular video was an Idaho man named Nathan Apodaca who shot to fame after coolly singing Dreams by Fleetwood Mac, while skateboarding on a highway.
But the most liked TikTok video was awarded to Bella Poarch with 45 million followers, who created a simple but interesting video with a few seconds of well-timed head nods and eye rolls.
While the app might be designed for youth, Chikumbu said that the growth of TikTok this year has pushed it more into mainstream culture. “You're seeing everyone from the teenager to the college students with their parents and then their grandparents all making videos,” said Chikumbu. “And now TikTok
trulytranscendsgenerations, particularly in this year when people had a lot of time to dig in and not only watch, but try.”
4. What do we know about The Weeknd?
A. He created the famous song Dreams.
B. He started a career based on shared videos.
C. He is probably a popular singer on TikTok.
D. He organized the TikTok dance challenges.
5. What did Curtis Roach think of his life during quarantine?
A. Meaningful.
B. Peaceful.
C. Content.
D. Uninteresting.
6. The most popular TikTok video in 2020 was created by ______.
A. Caitlin Reilly
B. Curtis Roach
C. Nathan Apodaca
D. Bella Poarch
7. What does the underlined word “transcends” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Makes use of.
B. Goes beyond.
C. Calls on.
D. Takes charge of.
C
Compared to dogs, cats are often considered to be aloof（冷漠的）with respect to their human owners. It is usual for them to be indifferent（无动于衷的）when humans calltheir names. Are we sure that they don’t understand human voices at all?
A recent study published in the journal of Scientific Reports suggests that we’ve been fooled. Japanese scientists found that cats can recognize their names if their owners regularly use them. In the study, scientists recruited 78 domestic cats. They played recordings of voices of their owners saying five words: the first four words were random nouns thatresembledtheir names while the final word was the cat’s name. Then they observed the cats’ responses, if there were any.
Most of cats moved their ears or heads when they heard their names, while they made no response to other words. That suggested, “cats were paying attention to you, what you say and what you do,” John Bradshaw, an expert on human-animal interactions（互动）at the University of Bristol, UK, told The Times. “And cats were just as good as dogs at learning,” she added.
In the study, when people called their names, cats often associated (联系) the words with rewards, such
as food or play, or with “punishments” such as having a bath or going to the vet . This made cats sensitive (敏感的) to words. After the cats had been called several times, they could respond to the words. But the scientists added that while dogs have evolved（进化）to follow their owners’ orders, cats have not. Although cats appear to be distant, they do have special relationships with their owners.
According to study co-author Atsuko Saito, cats have evolved not to show their emotions as a survival method. One example is illness, which they tend to hide because “in the wild, no one can rescue them” and predators (捕食性动物) are more likely to pay attention to them, Saito explained.
However, technology may help bridge the communication gap between cats and us. There are now mobile apps available to explain what their meows mean. So, the next time you hear “meow, meow”,your cat may be telling you: “Hi, you haven’t cleaned my litter box recently.”
8. What did the recent study find about cats?
A. Cats can recognize their names.
B. Cats are cleverer than dogs.
C. Cats learn more slowly than dogs.
D. Cats are willing to follow orders.
9. What does the underlined word“resembled”in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. were limited to
B. were different from
C. were similar to
D. were away from
10. Why do cats appear distant to their human owners?
A. They associate words with punishments.
B. They want to protect themselves from harm.
C. They are not sensitive to the human voice.
D. They don’t pay much attention to their surroundings.
11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. It is difficult to understand cats’ meows.
B. Interaction with your cats is very important.
C. Cats do have good relationships with their owners.
D. We may know cats better with the help of technology.
D
Everyone can be angry. But if you take the time to actually examine your anger instead of just “feeling” angry, you’ll have a better understanding of yourself. Knowing why you feel so angry can provide you with some surprising answers. These answers can enable you to suddenly grow spiritually and mentally.
I can give you a personal example. I went to a meeting once and I was verbally attacked over an application I supported at my workplace. Various people went on and on about how terrible this system was and that it never worked. That didn’t bother me that much. I was used to that but one of the comments that was said was, “Your job is pointless.” This really upset meand at the time, I was ly furious(发怒地) with that comment.
I was so angry and upset that they would treat me that way. Once I took the time to think about what was really making me so mad. I learned a lot. I realized that the comment was more truethan I wanted to admit. In the big scheme of things, my job was pointless. It wasn’t what I really wanted to be doing with my life and this was what frustrated me the most. Here I was pouring part of my heart and soul into a job I didn’t even really want to do. I was using it as a crutch(拐杖) because I didn’t have the confidence in myself to take the scary road towards what I really wanted to do. As soon as I realized that, a lot of my anger just melted away. I also realized that I needed to start focusing on what I really wanted to do.
I now consider this incident as a great gift It got me back on track to moving in the direction I wanted to go with my life. I probably wouldn’t be where I am today if I hadn’t taken the time to figure out why I was really so angry.
12. What made the author angry at the meeting?
A. The system of the company was terrible.
B. Someone said his job is insignificant.
C. The policy of the company didn’t work.
D. The application he supported was of no effect.
13. What brought down the anger of the author?
A. The apology someone made at the meeting.
B. The crutch he used to take the scary road.
C. His awareness of the fact that the comment was true.
D. The courage he had to overcome the challenges.
14. Why did the author consider the incident as a gift?
A. It brought him back on track to the goal.
B. It helped him get promoted to a higher position.
C. It helped him change his character since then.
D. It provided him with confidence in his career.
15. What can be the best title of the passage?
A. How to Cope with Verbal Attack in a Company
B. Avoid Being Pointless at Work
C. Anger Is Harmful to Health
D. Understanding Yourself Better Through Anger

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项Around the world, people are leaving their small towns and villages for big cities.___16___
How can we make our cites more livable for so many people?
___17___These cities will use 5G networks and the “internet of things（IoT）” to make everyday life more convenient and safer. Places like Boston and San Diego, in the UnitedStates, and Amsterdam, in the Netherlands, are using smart technology to improve city life.
___18___San Diego, meanwhile, uses sensor-packed streetlights which can track activities around them, while also monitoring temperature, humidity（湿度）and other characteristics of the air. In Amsterdam, traffic flow and energy usage are monitored and adjusted using real-time data gathered from sensors around the city.
Smart cities will be interactive, allowing people to feel like they’re shaping their environment, instead of just existing in it. “One of the most important reasons to have a smart city is that we can actually communicate with our environment in a way that we never have in the past,” Mrinalini Ingram, head of the “Smart City” initiative（倡议）at telecom company Verizon, told Tech Republic.
___19___By using sensors and 5G networks to monitor water and electricity use, city managers can figure out how to better distribute and save these resources.
Of course, it will take time and money to turn our current cities into the smart ones of the future.___20___China, for example, is investing in some cities to make them smarter. It won’t be long until even more cities start to develop their own smart infrastructure（基础设施）.
A. Smart cities will alsoallow us to save resources.
B. The answer lies in using technology to create smart cities.
C. The answer is that our life is full of wisdom, skills and technology.
D. Over 60 percent of the world’s population is expected to live in cities by 2050.
E. A smart city needs networks, communication equipment and information resources.
F. But as we’ve already seen, places around the world are using smart technology in small ways.
G. In Boston smart trash cans can inform cleaning workers when they are full and need to be emptied.
