【题目】阅读短文,完成下列问题。
B
Although travelers can try dishes from around China and the globe in well-known food cities like Beijing and Shanghai, it is outside these major metropolises where a world of exciting Chinese cuisine(中国菜) awaits the true foodie(美食家). With this in mind and after three years of living in China and writing about Chinese food, I started a six-month journey with my husband and two daughters.
Here are four of the eight most amazing Chinese food cities I've come across so far. The list is in no particular order.
1 Chengdu, Sichuan Province
Crowned as Asia's first UNESCO City of Gastronomy(美食学) in 2010, Chengdu is best-known for its fiery hot pot and spicy dishes, which are characterized by the use of Sichuan pepper and are usually layered with salty, sour and sweet flavors. There are also dishes that aren't spicy at all, such as beer-braised duck.
Hot pot is as ubiquitous in the city as the smell of chili. At Zigong Delicious Hotpot, the house specialty(招牌菜) tiaoshui wa is a cauldron(大锅) of fiery chili(辣椒) to which vegetables, noodles or other meats can be added.
For a real taste of Sichuan's signature(招牌)pepper, hua jiao, spend a morning at the Chengdu Spice Market where the locals sell and buy it by the sack.
2 Lanzhou, Gansu Province
Synonymous in the minds of food-lovers with hand-pulled beef noodles, Lanzhou also has one of the liveliest street food night markets in China.
Just west of the city center, the buzzing Zhengning Road bazaar(集市)houses more than 100 street food stalls. Available is a broad selection of hot and cold dishes with emphasis on local Hui cuisine.
No trip to Lanzhou is complete without feasting on noodles at Wumule Penhui, the 2012 winners of Lanzhou's annual pulled noodle competition. The halal restaurant makes noodles spicy enough to satisfy even the most hardened heat-seekers.
3 Guangzhou, Guangdong Province
The birthplace of Cantonese food, Guangzhou is thought by many as the best place to eat in China. The city of 12 million has a passionate food culture, with equal excitement reserved for the opening of a hole-in-the-wall congee joint(粥店)and a high-end restaurant.
The local cuisine is characterized by fresh clean flavors(口味), seafood, barbecued meats and the wonderful tradition of yum cha, which is tea drinking accompanied by dumplings and small dishes.
Congee is the way locals love to start their day, and one of the most popular vendors is Ru Xuan Sha Guo Zhou. Here, one can get a bowl of signature seafood congee any hour of the day.
Roast meats are Bing Sheng's most popular order—their roast goose is marinated(腌制)with five-spice, boiled, air-dried, then roasted by a flame oven to give a crisp skin.
For something more home style and removed from the madness of downtown, head to Ji Cun for steamed chicken and simple farmer-style dishes.
4 Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province
This ancient canal city is home to huangjiu, an amber-colored rice wine that's important in Chinese cooking.
Open since 1894, the dining chain is known by almost every Chinese for its appearance in early 20th century novels by Chinese literati Lu Xun.
Xianheng's delicacies(佳肴)include crispy-skinned chicken, smoked red dates in rice wine, beans flavored with fennel(茴香), and crispy bream in rice wine.
Fried fermented(发酵的)tofu is also a local specialty, which is available all over town at small street stalls including one just outside Xianheng.
(1)The writer's purpose of the passage is to ____________.
A.share her story and impression on Chinese cuisines
B.tell readers how to comment on amazing Chinese food cities
C.talk the readers into enjoying the signature food such as hand-pulled noodles
D.express her preference for fiery hot pot and spicy dishes in Chengdu.
(2)The underlined word “ubiquitous” can be replaced by ____________.
A.charming and attractive
B.smelly and disgusting
C.common and popular
D.fiery and spicy
(3)If a fresh clean flavor is to a foodie's taste, which couple of cities is he likely to make a trip to?
A.Chengdu, Lanzhou
B.Lanzhou, Guangzhou
C.Guangzhou, Shaoxing
D.Shaoxing, Chengdu
(4)According to the writer, what message of food culture is brought out in the passage?
A.Cantonese food is characterized by a sea of marinated dishes.
B.Huangjiu is widely believed to be essential in Chinese cooking.
C.Pepper, chili and huajiao play an important role in all Sichuan dishes.
D.Hand-pulled beef noodle is a speciality in local Hui cuisine.

【题目】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。
I used to be a thin little kid who was always the shortest and sickest in my class. I wasn't very athletically involved during my childhood.
When I entered middle school, a lot of my friends were signing up for the school's sports teams. On the first day of tryouts(选拔赛) for the soccer team, the coach told us to run laps for warm-up. As I struggled to keep up with the team, I found myself falling farther behind until I was the last one to finish.
I was disappointed, but at the same time, I knew I had to do something about my health and fitness. People thought I was crazy because I ran a slow 11-mintue mile in the gym class, but I was determined to get into shape and improve my mile time.
It was a lot of running for me, but I kept on practicing day after day. As the seasons progressed, I found that I could run longer and faster.
Eighth grade soon rolled around and I was feeling really confident about trying out for another sports meet. Instead of attempting soccer a second time, I decided to give field hockey a try. This time, I was well prepared. After a week of tryouts, I was ecstatic (狂喜的) to see that my name made it on the list.
I was inspired, and I learned an important lesson: Once you do get into shape, don't stop or give up!
A. Again, the coach instructed us to run a lot of laps.
B. After tryouts were over, my name never made it on the list.
C. I made a big decision to sign up for the track and field team.
D. Being in shape helped me feel energetic, flexible, and strong.
E. Fortunately, I wasn't the only slow runner trying to get into shape.
F. The first day of practice was one of the hardest workouts I've ever had.
G. One of my friends convinced me to try out for the soccer team with her and I agreed.

Tips for a Happier Workplace
You don't have to be friends with your co-workers, but you do need to be fri endly. Read on for fresh ways to make your office a kinder, gentler place.
◆Give a happy “Hello! ”in the morning
Do you walk into the office, eyes down, and immediately start work? If so, you are likely to find that co-workers ignore(忽视)you or avoid you.(1) It’s really amazing how fast this small gesture can change unfriendly workplace relations.
◆Learn the art of small talk
Ask your co-workers about their interests—their favorite music, movies, and books, as well as their hobbies. (2) Once you know what catches their imagination, pick up stories from newspapers or magazines to help start conversations.
◆Ask what they think
People love to be asked for their opinion, so go out of your way to ask, “What do you think of this report? ” or “How do you think I should deal with this situation? ” (3)
◆Avoid gossip(流言飞语)(4) So return the favor. When a co-worker walks towards you bearing a piece of gossip, respond(回应)with, “Really? ”and then change the subject or get back to work. If you don’t respond, the gossiper will move on.
◆(5)
To win friends at work, start with good office etiquette(礼节). There's nothing more frustrating(令人沮丧的)to busy co-workers than to have their emails and phone messages ignored. Your silence doesn’t just make their jobs harder; it also conveys(传达)an unpleasant message: You are unimportant to me.
A. Stop complaining.
B. Return calls and emails immediately.
C. Then give the advice giver a silent thank-you.
D. Always work as hard as anyone working for you.
E. You don't want anyone talking about you behind your back, right?
F. Showing an interest in them will make them feel comfortable around you.
G. Get into the habit of greeting your co-workers with a smile as you arrive in the morning.
