26、Here are four of The World’s 50 Best Restaurants 2021, announced on Tuesday at a ceremony in Antwerp, Belgium.
Noma
Noma offers three menus at different times of year, with seafood season from January to June, vegetable season during the summer and meat season in the winter. The restaurant closes before each season so that its team can develop new menus from whatever the land and sea provide.
Geranium
There are arguably no better chefs in the world than Kofoed at applying beauty to food. He has an ability to put together truly pretty dishes that make the most of color and empty space. Rasmus Kofoed is the first chef in Denmark to earn three Michelin stars, which were granted (授予) to Geranium in 2016.
The Chairman
Danny Yip, who opened The Chairman in 2009, is a low-key chef and prefers to let the restaurant and its food do the talking. The Chairman prides itself on getting the freshest sea foods. At dawn, the team can be found most days at the seaside, handpicking the finest sea foods from local fishermen. The restaurant’s philosophy, “simple cooking will rule”, shines through every dish, creating a dining experience like no other.
Diverxo
When Munoz was still a boy, he knew exactly what he wanted when he grew up—a wildly popular restaurant where people would wait for hours for a table. His father told him that “pigs might fly”.
But Munoz got the last laugh. After training at top restaurants in London and Madrid, he opened his restaurant, Diverxo, in 2007 and soon became the second-youngest person in the world to earn three-star Michelin status. Now he proudly shows flying pigs throughout the restaurant, telling the world the power of achieving the seemingly unachievable.
【1】Which restaurant was awarded three Michelin stars in 2016?
A.Diverxo.
B.Geranium.
C.Noma.
D.The Chairman.
【2】What is special about The Chairman?
A.Inspiring decorations.
B.Artistic dishes.
C.Different seasonal menus.
D.Simple cooking.
【3】How did Munoz most probably feel after talking with his father?
A.More determined.
B.Very excited.
C.Totally discouraged.
D.Truly inspired.
27、 When it comes to eating, more and more Americans are ordering online instead of eating out. In some restaurants, cooks make food for other online restaurants at the same time. Online orders are only 5% of all restaurants orders, but they are growing about 20% each year.
The increase in online ordering in the US has created openings for new kinds of businesses. One is called Kitchen United. It builds kitchens for restaurants that want to enter take-out markets. Chick-Fil-A, The Halal Guys and Dog Haus all have opened kitchens through it. Another company, DoorDash, sends food to customers who order online. Fuad Hannon is the head of new business at DoorDash, He says, “The industry is still young. It may be too soon to know how it will grow, but what we know is that people love to get their favorite food sent.”
Two other businesses, Grubhub and Uber Eats, say their virtual (虚拟的) restaurant programs help small businesses compete. Both reach out to restaurant owners with suggestions for online. restaurants based on data from customer searches. This information helps owners. think about everything from how people get their food to what should go on the menu.
Kristen Adamowski heads Uber Eats. She says they have helped start 4,000 virtual restaurants worldwide, about half of them in the US and Canada.
Virtual restaurants have the benefit of testing new ideas without taking on expensive rents or employing more workers like traditional ones. But small restaurants should look at the risks before starting an online restaurant suggested by third-party app businesses. Those businesses offer no training for kitchen' workers to get used to making new foods. Other things to consider: whether their delivery containers are right for new dishes, or whether they want to increase their dependence on outside delivery drivers. Those are not small or easy things.
【1】What can we learn about online food orders in the US from paragraph 1?
A.They’ve replaced traditional restaurant orders.
B.They take up only 20% of restaurant orders.
C.They’ve taken up most of the market,
D.They are rapidly increasing yearly.
【2】What does Fuad Hannon think of DoorDash in paragraph 2?
A.Its customers are young.
B.It will surely develop well.
C.Its future remains to be seen.
D.It will help people build more restaurants.
【3】Which gives advice to online restaurant operators?
A.Uber Eats.
B.Dog Haus.
C.Chick-Fi1-A.
D.DoorDash.
【4】What can be concluded from the last paragraph?
A.Better late than never.
B.Think carefully before you act.
C.Failure is the mother of success.
D.Where there is a will, there is a way.
28、You’ve studied hard, you’ve got the grades and now you’re off to university! This is the journey that many students are taking, but how prepared are they to leave home, stand on their own two feet and be self- independent? One study, carried out by the Higher Education Policy Institute and Unite Students in 2021, suggested that as well as being excited and nervous, many students are deeply ill-informed about what to expect.
Of course, flying the nest to go to university is the opportunity of a lifetime, but to make the most of it needs some preparation before you arrive. This means learning life skills such as cooking and cleaning. You’ll no longer be able to rely on Mum and Dad to feed you or clear up after you1, so try to learn how to make some staple dishes that are quick and easy to prepare. Graduate Peter Rogers told the reporter: “I didn’t really have anything other than basic cookery skills before I went to university and found learning to cook was reasonably enjoyable. ” Other things to do while at home is to practise some of those household chores, like operating the washing machine or ironing your clothes!
These domestic skills will come in useful because students will probably be living with others such as in a flat share or shared campus-based accommodation (膳食住宿). This will also require taking responsibility for managing their finances because, apart from tuition fees, accommodation is likely to be the biggest cost for students living away from home. However, the Higher Education Policy Institute and Unite Students study found only about half of the would-be students surveyed identified rent as the biggest expense and concluded that this suggests more should be done to help in the transition (过渡) between school and university.
New students are going to have to be sociable as well-not just relying on old friends at home. Going to university requires meeting new people and making new friends. This often begins in Freshers’ Week although journalism student Emmeke Megannety warns that: “People starting university need to remember that the people you meet in your first week will not necessarily be your friends for life.”But whatever your expectations, it’s good to be prepared for the time of your life.
【1】What’s the function of the question in the first paragraph?
A.To introduce a topic.
B.To explain a concept.
C.To make a prediction.
D.To summarize a passage.
【2】What can we learn from Paragraph 3?
A.Most would-be students have a correct understanding of rents.
B.There’s no need to help them to adapt to the new environment.
C.There’s a gap between students’ knowledge of the rent and the reality.
D.Apart from accommodation, students don’t need to bear financial burden.
【3】What can we infer from the passage?
A.Most students know quite well what to expect in college.
B.Cooking and cleaning do ensure a successful college life.
C.Without life skills, students can’t survive the college life.
D.Old friends are not enough to help you enjoy college life.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A.Get prepared for college.
B.Learn basic life skills.
C.Stand on your own feet.
D.Rely on friends when going out.
29、I have many new teachers in high school, but Lori Runkle, my English Language and Composition teacher, is my favorite teacher.
Ms. Runkle enjoys getting to know more about students, so I have many chances to talk with her after class. I have always wanted to become a journalist (新闻记者). Since Ms. Runkle used to be a journalist back in the United States, she has introduced many helpful journalistic writing skills to me.
Although she is my teacher, Ms. Runkle and I are more like friends. She often invites my classmates and me to take part in different activities outdoors. For example, I went to listen to a journalist’s speech, which helped me better understand current events (时事).
Not only does Ms. Runkle talk with me outside of school, she is also a great teacher in the classroom. English Language and Composition is a really hard subject for a second language learner. We felt worried in the beginning, but Ms. Runkle really makes an effort to help us out. In class, Ms. Runkle always encourages students to question everything to keep us active. One part of class I love the most is when groups of students are requested to give speeches on events that are happening in the world. It requires a lot of deep thinking and I really learn quite a lot from it.
I love Ms. Runkle very much. She not only helps me to get good scores, but also acts as a good friend and always gives me advice on life.
