AWe love food and drink. We love to celebrate the good stuff and criticize the bad. This is our take on the top three food cultures and destinations. It’s time to find out once and for all, which cuisine is king as you plan where you’ll travel next:No. 3 FranceYou can spend an entire two-week vacation exploring combinations of wines and cheeses around the country.YumEscargot --- credit the French for turning garden-dwelling pests into a delicacy. Massive respect for making them taste amazing too.Baguette --- the first and last thing that you’ll want to eat in France. The first bite is superb; the last will be full of longing.DumbFoie gras --- it tastes like 10,000 ducks roasted in butter then reduced to a velvet pudding.No. 2 ChinaThe people who greet each other with “Have you eaten yet?” are arguably the most food-obsessed in the world. The Chinese almost cook and sell anything, and they also make it taste great.YumSweet and sour pork --- a guilty pleasure that has taken on different forms.Dim sum --- a grand tradition from Hong Kong to New York. The best to start a day as breakfast.DumbShark’s fin soup --- calling for Chinese restaurants to ban the dish has been a goal of green campaigners in recent years.No. 1 ItalyItalian food has enslaved taste-buds around the globe for centuries, with its tomato sauces, and those clever things they do with wheat flour and desserts .YumPizza ---simple yet satisfying dish. Staple diet of bachelors and college students.Coffee --- cappuccino is for breakfast? Forget it. We want it all day and all night.DumbBuffalo mozzarella -- those balls of water buffalo milk. The flavor’s so subtle yo u have to imagine it.1.Which food would you not try as an environmentalist?A.Shark’s fin soupB. Foie grasC. Sweet and sour porkD. Escargot2.Which will be the best choice for hungry students in Italy?A.PizzaB. CoffeeC. Buffalo mozzarellaD. Desserts3.Which will be the best breakfast?A.CappuccinoB. BaguetteC. CheeseD. Dim sumBThat was how the adventures began. It was the sort of house that you never seem to come to the end of, and it was full of unexpected places. The first few doors they triedled only into spare bedrooms, as everyone had expected that they would; but soon they came to a very long room full of pictures; and after that was a room all hung with green, with a harp in one corner; and then a kind of little upstairs hall and a door that led out on to a balcony. And shortly after that they looked into a room that was quite empty except for one big wardrobe, the sort that has a looking-glass in the door.“Nothing there!” Everybody rushed out but Lucy stayed because sh e thought it would be worthwhile trying the door of the wardrobe, even though she felt almost sure that it would be locked. To her surprise, it opened quite easily, and two mothballs dropped out.Looking into the inside, she saw several coats hanging up---mostly long fur coats. There was nothing Lucy liked so much as the smell and feel of fur. She immediately stepped into the wardrobe and got in among the coats and rubbed her face against them, leaving the door open, of course, because she knew that it is very foolish to shut oneself into any wardrobe... She took a step further in---then two or three steps, always expecting to feel woodwork against the tips of her fingers. But she could not feel it.“This must be a simply vast wardrobe!” thought Lucy, going still further in. Then she noticed that there was something crunching under her feet. “Is that more mothball?” she thought, stooping down to feel it with her hand. But instead of feeling the hard, smooth wood, she felt something soft and powdery and extrem ely cold. “This is very queer,” she said, and went on a step or two further.... And then she saw that there was a light ahead of her; ... A moment later she found that she was standing in the middle of a wood at night-time with snow under her feet and snowflakes falling through the air.4.What is the first paragraph mainly about?A.The discovery of mysterious rooms.B.The complex structures of the house.C.The unexpected search of the house.D.The adventurous exploration in a house.5.Why didn’t Lucy go out of the room?A.She wanted to explore the wardrobe.B.She found her favourite fur coats.C.She was attracted by mothballs.D.She liked the smell of the room.6.What can we infer about Lucy from the third paragraph?A.Careful and cowardly.B. Cautious and curious.C. Foolish but brave.D. Adventurous but casual.7.What does the underlined word “queer” mean?A.Terrifying.B. Empty.C. Strange.D. Impressive.CStories are shared in many ways. They are described in books and magazines. They are read around the campfire at night. They are randomly distributed from stand-alone booths. But what else?To revive literature in the era of fast news and smartphone addiction, Short Edition, a French publisher of short-form literature, has set up more than 30 story dispensers（分发机）i n the USA in the past years to deliver fiction at the push of a button at restaurants, universities and government offices.Francis Ford Coppola, the film director and winemaker, liked the idea so much that he invested in the company and placed a dispenser at his Cafe Zoetrope in San Francisco. Last month, public libraries in some other cities announced they would be setting them up, too. There is one on the campus at Penn State. A few can be found in downtown West Palm Beach, Fla. And Short Edition plans to announce more, including at the Los Angeles International Airport.“Everything old is new again,” said Andrew Nurkin, director of the Free Library of Philadelphia, which is one of the libraries that set up the dispensers. “We want people to be easily exposed to literature. We want to advance literacy among children and inspire their creativity.”Here’s how a dispenser wor ks. It has three buttons on top indicating choices for stories that can be read in one minute, three minutes or five minutes. When a button is pushed, a short story is printed.The stories are free. They are chosen from a computer category of more than 100,000 original submissions by writers whose works have been evaluated by Short Edition’s judges, and transmitted over a mobile network. Offerings can be tailored to specific interests, like children’s fiction or romance. Short Edition gets stories for its category by holding writing contests.Short Edition set up its first booth in 2016 and has 150 machines worldwide. “Theidea is to make people happy,” said Kristan Leroy, director of Short Edition. “There is too much unhappiness today. ”8.What do we know about the stories sent by dispensers?A.They are easily read.B.They are short in form.C.They can be bought from booths.D.They can be found in magazines.9.Which paragraph shows the popularity of story dispensers in America?A.Paragraph 3.B.

Paragraph 7.10.Why were the story dispensers set up according to Andrew Nurkin?A.To introduce French literature.B.To get rid of smartphone addiction.C.To make people have access to literature.D.To reduce the financial stress of libraries.11.What is the best title for the text?A.Everything Old Is NewB.Online Reading: a Virtual TourC.Short Edition Is Getting PopularD.Taste of Literature, at the Push of a ButtonDDo you think you’re smarter than your parents and grandparents? According to James Flynn, a professor at a New Zealand university, you are! Over the course of the last century, people who have taken IQ tests have gotten increasingly better scores---on average, three points better for every decade that has passed. This improvement is known as “the Flynn effect”, and scientists want to know what is behind it.IQ tests and other similar tests are designed to measure general intelligence rather than knowledge. Flynn knew that intelligence is partly inherited from our parents and partly the result of our environment and experiences, but the improvement in test scores was happening too quickly to be explained by heredity. So what was happening in the 20th century that was helping people achieve higher scores on intelligence tests?Scientists have proposed several explanations for the Flynn effect. Some suggestthat the improved test scores simply reflect an increased exposure to tests in general. Because we take so many tests, we learn test-taking techniques that help us perform better on any test. Others have pointed to better nutrition since it results in babies being born larger, healthier, and with more brain development than in the past. Another possible explanation is a change in educational styles, with teachers encouraging children to learn by discovering things for themselves rather than just memorizing information. This could prepare people to do the kind of problem solving that intelligence tests require.Flynn limited the possible explanations when he looked carefully at the test data and discovered that the improvement in scores was only on certain parts of the IQ test. Test-takers didn’t do better on the arithmetic or vocabulary sections of the test; they did better on sections that required a special kind of reasoning and problem solving. For example, one part of the test shows a set of abstract shapes, and test-takers must look for patterns and connections between them and decide which shape should be added to the set. According to Flynn, this visual intelligence improves as the amount of technology in our lives increases. Every time you play a computer game or figure out how to program a new cell phone, you are exercising exactly the kind of thinking and problem solving that helps you do well on one kind of intelligence test. So are you really smarter than your parents? In one very specific way, you may be.12.The Flynn effect is .A.not connected to our experiencesB.unknown in some parts of the worldC.an increase in IQ test scores over timeed to measure people’s intelligence13.According to the article, newer educational techniques include .A.improving test scoresB.exposure to many testsC.memorizing informationD.children finding things out themselves14.Why does the author mention computer games?A.To encourage the reader to do more exercise instead of playing games.B.To explain why more and more young people have poor vocabularies.C.To give an example of technology improving our visual intelligence.D.To show the fact that young people are not getting more intelligent.15.Which statement would Professor Flynn agree with?A.People today are taking easier tests.B.People today have more visual intelligence.C.People today have fewer problems to solve.D.People today are more intelligent in every way.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
