Planning a trip to Italy is half about the history and beauty and half about the food. Enjoying everything that Italian cuisine has to offer can be daunting, especially since most of the really exciting options are outside the big cities. Alba Alba's greatest culinary(烹饪的) offering is the Festa dei Tartufi - the White Truffle Fair - which takes place across every weekend in October and November. It offers world-famous truffles from the local area, as well as the Truffle Show. The fair also features folk traditions as well as the food and drink, particularly aiming at educating children and thus making the event fun for all the family. Minori Minori is known for its handmade pasta - particularly scialatielli, a thick and short pasta similar to linguine, which features heavily on local menus, along with pastries made from the local lemons as with other towns on the Amalfi Coast. Procida The main attraction, however, is the food - the local lemons, often called limoni pane or "bread lemons", thanks to their large amounts of pith, are the main ingredient in a popular local dish: lemon salad, in which the lemons are flavored and garnished with garlic and mint. Naples Naples made its stamp on culinary history with the invention of the pizza and has maintained it to the modern-day by having more stars from the Michelin Guide than any other Italian city. It's appropriate, then, that it plays host to numerous food festivals, including the Marco Island Seafood and Music Festival, and the Mercato Spring Fling and Food Festival. The former, founded to raise money for charity, takes place in March each year over the course of three days. The latter is only a month later, in April, with Mercato restaurants providing a range of food and bar options. 【1】What is the advantage of Alba, compared to the other three places? A.Various food.

D.Naples. 【3】Which of the following is not the features of Naples? A.It has many food festivals. B.It is beneficial to charity. C.It has more great Cuisine Chefs.

Former NBA great Tracy McGrady has called for the league to call off the regular season in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic(流行病). On March 11, the NBA became the first major U.S. league to suspend its season after Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert became the first player to test positive for the novel coronavirus. Since then, the COVID-19 outbreak has swept across the U.S. NBA commissioner(委员) Adam Silver has indicated all options remain on the table, including playing games behind closed doors and isolating players to postponing the start of next season to allow the current campaign to be completed. McGrady, who spent 16 seasons in the NBA, said: "As a former player, I would be in favor of calling the season off，for I don't have the facilities I need to stay in tip-top shape that I need to be in because everything is closed." Also, he added that even once training facilities re-opened and players could train as usual again, it was going to take them some time to get back to what he described as "basketball shape”. The only feasible(可行的) solution to get players to be back to full fitness was to allow them to train and then ensure their fitness in a series of exhibition games. "You just can't jump back into the regular season," McGrady added. Last week, Silver admitted "there was no clear path ahead" for the NBA to return. "Based on the reports that we got from varied outside officials, current public health officials ... we are not in a position to make any decisions," the NBA commissioner said in a conference, which followed a video conference meeting with the NBA's board of governors. "And it's unclear when we will be…” 【1】What does the underlined word “suspend” in the second paragraph mean? A.怀疑. B.预测. C.暂停.

We all know that water is tasteless. But it happens from time to time: you pick up the bottle of water you didn’t finish yesterday, and it tastes strange. Most often, you tend to drop the bottle in the trash bin, believing that the water has gone bad. But is it true? According to Time, of course not, taste has little to do with quality of water. According to Time, when water is exposed to the air for 12 hours, carbon dioxide interacts with the H2O in the water, and the pH value lowers slightly. As a result, the water has a different taste. “But it’s most likely safe to drink,” Norwegian expert Truls Krogh told Science Nordic. “If the water is covered and of good quality to start with, in principle it can last a thousand years. That’s because when water is fresh, it contains little organic matter. As long as water is held in clean glasses or bottles, no pollutants will enter it to harm our health.” People in countries like the US, the UK and Australia usually drink tap water. According to Time, if tap water is drunk within six months, the chlorine (氯气) in the water will be enough to kill any bacteria and keep it safe to drink. However, there are also some exceptions. If you accidentally put your fingers into water or store water in unclean containers day after day, microorganism (微生物) will enter the water. With the help of surrounding temperature, and sunlight streaming through windows, these microorganisms multiply quickly. Sooner or later, the water will be in the charge of the unfriendly bacteria. And if you drink the water too often, then you’re more likely to be ill. And what about water in plastic bottles? Heat and plastic are a bad combination, US researcher Kellogg Schwab stresses. When plastic bottles are used at high temperatures, they produce a chemical called BPA. BPA is something that affects hormones (荷尔蒙) and research has tentatively linked it to “several health damage, including heart disease and cancer”, Time reported. Schwab suggests replacing disposable (一次性的) plastic bottles with the refillable containers made of metal or glass to deal with BPA. 【1】The purpose of the first paragraph is to ________________. A. show an example B. draw a conclusion C. analyze a phenomenon D. introduce a topic 【2】Which of the following may Truls Krogh agree? A. If the water tastes different, we shouldn’t drink it. B. The water held in a clean container is likely safe to drink. C. Although kept fresh, water may still have much organic matter. D. Covered water can last for a thousand years. 【3】What can we infer from the passage? A. BPA does little harm to our health. B. Tap water is always safe to drink. C. Microorganisms are easy to produce in the heat. D. Disposable plastic bottles have been banned already. 【4】What can be the best title of the passage? A. Why Water is Tasteless B. How to Get Clean Water C. Does Water Really Go Bad? D. Learn to Protect Water |

There’s a new frontier in 3D printing that’s beginning to come into focus: food. Recent development has made possible machines that print, cook, and serve foods on a mass scale. And the industry isn’t stopping there. Food production With a 3D printer, a cook can print complicated chocolate sculptures and beautiful pieces for decoration on a wedding cake. Not everybody can do that — it takes years of experience, but a printer makes it easy. A restaurant in Spain uses a Foodini to “re-create forms and pieces” of food that are “exactly the same,” freeing cooks to complete other tasks. In another restaurant, all of the dishes and desserts it serves are 3D-printed, rather than farm to table. Sustainability(可持续性) The global population is expected to grow to 9.6 billion by 2050, and some analysts estimate that food production will need to be raised by 50 percent to maintain current levels. Sustainability is becoming a necessity. 3D food printing could probably contribute to the solution. Some experts believe printers could use hydrocolloids (水解胶体) from plentiful renewables like algae(藻类) and grass to replace the familiar ingredients(烹饪原料). 3D printing can reduce fuel use and emissions. Grocery stores of the future might stock "food" that lasts years on end, freeing up shelf space and reducing transportation and storage requirements. Nutrition Future 3D food printers could make processed food healthier. Hod Lipson, a professor at Columbia University, said, “Food printing could allow consumers to print food with customized nutritional content, like vitamins. So instead of eating a piece of yesterday’s bread from the supermarket, you’d eat something baked just for you on demand.” Challenges Despite recent advancements in 3D food printing, the industry has many challenges to overcome. Currently, most ingredients must be changed to a paste(糊状物) before a printer can use them, and the printing process is quite time-consuming, because ingredients interact with each other in very complex ways. On top of that, most of the 3D food printers now are restricted to dry ingredients, because meat and milk products may easily go bad. Some experts are skeptical about 3D food printers, believing they are better suited for fast food restaurants than homes and high-end restaurants. 【1】What benefit does 3D printing bring to food production? A. It helps cooks to create new dishes. B. It saves time and effort in cooking. C. It improves the cooking conditions. D. It contributes to restaurant decorations. 【2】What can we learn about 3D food printing from Paragraphs 3? A. It solves food shortages easily. B. It quickens the transportation of food. C. It needs no space for the storage of food. D. It uses renewable materials as sources of food. 【3】According to Paragraph 4, 3D-printed food _____________. A. is more available to consumers B. can meet individual nutritional needs C. is more tasty than food in supermarkets D. can keep all the nutrition in raw materials 【4】What could be the best title of the passage? A. 3D Food Printing: Delicious New Technology B. A New Way to Improve 3D Food Printing C. The Challenges for 3D Food Production D. 3D Food Printing: From Farm to Table |

The park was full of freshness and beauty of spring, with the sun shining and birds sing. When I was enjoying the fantastic scenery around, something unpleasant caught my eyes. A young couple in a boat was eating, talking and laughing loudly as if they were the only people in the world. What's worse, they spat and even threw rubbish into the lake, total ignoring the noticeable sign "No Littering" nearby. What a shame! Such behavior, that left me deep in thought, was terrible. If all visitor to the Fairy Lake Park do as the couple did, the lake will be severely polluted but soon turned into a huge dustbin. I think all of us should mind their behavior in public places. Only in this way can we live in less comfortable and beautiful surroundings. |
