（山西省山大附中2010届高三12月月考）

Chinese people think a lot about food．In fact，I think that they are sometimes obsessed(痴迷) with it．My first experience of this   16   of Chinese culture came at a banquet during a trip to Beijing in 1998．I had eaten Chinese food often，but I could not have  17  how fabulous(丰盛的)a real Chinese banquet could be．The first six or seven dishes seemed to  18  the table, with plates dangerously   19  one on top of another．I thought this vast    20  of food was the total number of dishes to be served，and I started eating    21  ．Everyone else just   22  a bit of each dish and then put their chopsticks down，continuing to chat．“They can't have very big appetites,” I thought．

To my surprise，more dishes   23  ，plus soups，side dishes，and desserts．There was enough to feed a whole army．No   24  my fellow guests had had only a few  25  of each dish；they knew what was still to come．But I was already so   26  that I could only    27  as the banquet continued．

Another aspect of“food culture”is that the Chinese seem to eat almost every part of every animal——much to the    28   of many westerners．Stomach，ears，tongue，tail，hoof and lungs are all likely to   29   on the dinner table in front of you．The first time I saw a three-year-old kid  30   chewing a chicken's head I had bad dreams for weeks．

These days I enjoy that sort of food myself． 31  ，there are other kinds of foods that have taken longer for me to  32  ．The infamous(臭名昭著的) choudoufu is a(n)   33  ．(The name says it all：“stinky tofu”．) Just when I got used to it,  I found another  34  on a trip to Hunan：deep-fried choudoufu，a horrible black substance that looked and    35  about as appetizing as a burnt tennis shoe．Maybe I'll get used to that, too—some day．

【2011·皖南八校第三次联考】E

The Mediterranean Sea-Whistling, cheering, waving hands with tears flowing and shouting are the sight I see when the Chinese frigate Xuzhou approaches．The huge Greek ship, containing about 2,200 Chinese from Libya, and the frigate whistle and raise their flags up and down to each other showing respect．"We salute the Chinese frigate in the same way we would a Greek warship," an officer of the Greek ship tells China Daily．

After the ship and frigate greet each other, they sail side-by-side for an hour and a half only three hundreds meters apart．A Chinese helicopter flies over the two ships．The frigate Xuzhou, which had been on duty in the Aden Gulf, joined the removing efforts in the waters surrounding Libya．

Weijianhua, captain of the Chinese frigate, sends his warm greetings over the radio, thanking Greek crew for their help and support in the removing of Chinese nationals from disordered Libya．Wei also welcomes his fellow Chinese on board on their way back home．“The strong and prosperous motherland is with you when you are experiencing hardship,” Wei greets passengers on board the frigate．

On hearing this, a group of people wave their hands toward the frigate, cheering and shouting "Yes, we feel that we are from a big family and when we meet troubles overseas, we can get help any time," says the 40-aged Cui Qinghua, one of the 300 Chinese construction workers in the central part of Libya．They planned to leave Libya as soon as events became uncontrolled on Feb．16．But Local wrongdoers robbed them and prevented them from fleeing．However, the Chinese embassy tried every means to help them．"Finally we succeeded, and now here we are," says Cui．

Cui and other evacuees are halfway to Crete in Greece．The Chinese government has sent seven hired ships from Crete to transport Chinese nationals from Libya．They are all expected to take flights back to China by 10th March．
