AChez Panisse by Alice Waters is one of the very first cookbooks I got. My father gave me a copy at Christmas when I was 18, and it’s been with me ever since. It’s a beautiful book. In it, there is a dish of mussels (贻贝), fennel, saffron and crème fraiche. It is simple and delicious. It was probably the first recipe (菜谱) I cooked from the book and I still have it on the menu at my restaurant today.Mussels are really beautiful in autumn. When you cook seasonally, you use whatever you have at hand, and each time an ingredient comes back in season, you are so happy to see it. So each autumn, we will often want to push ourselves to do something new, but there’s also something nice about cooking a dish you’ve always cooked. It’s like going back to old friends, like going home. Even if your mother wasn’t the greatest cook in the world, there would always be something she made that still tastes of comfort. For me, it’s my mum’s cherries. When I was a child, cherries would mark the end of the school year. We’d always get a box of each when school was out for the summer. I remember sitting in the garden, moving cherries in pairs and spitting out the pips (籽), hoping a tree would grow.Food should take you somewhere special like that — not in a confusing, but in a nurturing way, for both your body and your soul. It should take you to a happy place. Someone I work with said all my recipes were memory-bound.No cook has influenced me more than Alice: her whole approach to food, valuing farmers, pushing for organics, for good, clean soil. She has made me think about food waste and sustainability (持续性), and about how food can contribute to a solution to wider issues. And Chez Panisse takes me back to that moment in my life when it all started when I fell in love with cooking. Thirty-five years on, I still feel the same.1.Why does the cookbook Chez Panisse have a deep influence on the a uthor?A. It has a dish that the author likes to eat.B. It was the first gift she got from her father.C. It made the author fall in love with cooking.D. It helped the author run a successful restaurant.2.What can we infer from the second paragraph?A.Mussels can only be cooked in autumn.B. Food can be linked with sweet memories.C. The author’s mother is good at making cherries.D. Cooking the same dish can be a very boring thing.3.What would be the best title for the text?A.The reason why I like cookingB. The recipe that is of great importanceC. The way food brings sweet memoriesD. The memories we can’t forget foreverBIs it to control their body temperature? Save energy? Find food? Tiger sharks at the Ningaloo Reef are thought to search the seafloor for prey (被捕食者) as they dive down and swim up. But could there be other reasons why the sharks often move up and down through the water column?That’s what UWA student Sammy is hoping to find out for her Ph.D. research. Sammy caught 24 tiger sharks at the Ningaloo Reef and attached tracking devices to them for up to 48 hours. The devices recorded activity rates and other data 20 times a second. The tags also contained video cameras, so Sammy could see the habitats the sharks moved through and the animals they met. She watched how the sharks reacted to prey and how the prey reacted to them.Tiger sharks can be pretty lazy — something as simple as a turtle noticing a shark and turning away could cause the shark not to bother hunting it. “Stomach content analysis has found their normal prey items, such as turtles, rays and fish,” Sammy said. “But we have also found some really interesting things, such as license plates, cans of spam and nails.” Sammy said that studying tiger sharks can help her better understand the ecosystem as a whole. How they move through the Ningaloo Reef and feed can help her figure out how they might be impacting the animals beneath them in the f ood chain.But hours of watching tiger sharks hunt hasn’t put Sammy off the animals at all. She said her time tagging sharks at the Ningaloo Reef was the best month of her Ph.D., if not her life. “At first, I was a bit apprehensive about it … getting that close to some very big animals,” Sammy said. “But they were very chilled once you had them restrained (控制) alo ngside the boat. They’d just sit there; you’d attach the tag; you’d take the line off and they’d just swim off really calmly. It was pretty amazing to see these. They’re just absolutely beautiful animals.”4.What do people think about sharks’s wimming up and down?A.They are searching for food.B. They are breathing in fresh air.C. They are building up their bodies.D. They are escaping from their enemies.5.What does Sammy want to know through her research?A.Why tiger sharks swim up and down.B. What tiger sharks like to hunt and eat.C. How tiger sharks react in front of humans.D. Whether tiger sharks are endangered or not.6.What does the stomach content analysis show?A.Tiger sharks live happily in the sea.B. Tiger sharks have a very broad diet.C. Tiger sharks are lazier than expected.D. Tiger sharks are sensitive to some food.7.What does the underlined word “apprehensive” in the last paragraph mean?A.Careless.B. Curious.C. Fearful.D. Cautious.COne in five women and one in eight men are becoming more tired and less productive, a new study on mobile phone use showed last week. Led by the Queensland University of Technology in Australia, researchers surveyed 709 mobile phone users across the country aged between 18 and 83 and asked them a series of questions based on a similar study of 14 years ago.Identifying a phenomenon “technoference”, researchers discovered a significant increase in people blaming their devices for “losing sleep, becoming less productive and even getting more aches and pains”. According to the study led by Dr. Oscar Oviedo-Trespalacios, the issue is so bad that 24 percent of women and 15 percent of men are now considered to be problematic mobile phone users. “When we talk about technoference, we’re referring to the everyday interruptions t hat people experience due to mobile phones and their use,” he said. “Our survey found technoference had increased among men and women. For example, self-reports relating to the loss of sleep and productivity showed that these negative outcomes had significantly increased during the last 14 years. This finding suggests that mobile phones are potentially increasingly affecting aspects of daytime functioning due to the lack of sleep and increasing dereliction (玩忽职守) of responsibilities.”Compared with a 2005 study, technoference issues for 18- to 24-year-olds jumped a surprising 40.9 percent, while those aged between 25 and 29 also recorded a dramatic increase of 23.5 percent.Oviedo-Trespalacios said that with the number of smart phone users around the world expected to go beyond 2.5 billion before the end of this year, the problem of technoference could get even worse. “The speed and depth of smart phone take-up makes our population particularly vulnerable to some of the negative consequences of high mobile p hone use,” he said. “Rapid technological innovations over the past years have led to dramatic changes in today’s mobile phone technology, which can not only improve the quality of life for phone users but also result in some negative outcomes.”8.What is the problem that the researchers have found?A.Technology has changed our lives greatly.B. Many people are addicted to smart phones.C. Cell phone use disconnects our relationships.D. Mobile phones negatively influence our daily life.9.What does Oviedo-Trespalacios think of t echnoference?A.It can be easily got rid of.B. It improves the quality of our life.C. It may affect more men than women.D. It is due to the development of t echnology.10.The underlined word “vulnerable” in the last paragraph means .A.impossible to make sure ofB. likely to be addicted toC. easily hurtD. difficult to find11.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Technoference becomes serious among peopleB. Ways to solve the problem of technoferenceC. Health risks associated with cell phonesD. The development of smartphonesDChild poverty, domestic violence and mental health will be the priorities (优先的事物) in New Zealand’s “well-being budget”. The government has announced to measure success by its people’s well-being.On Tuesday, Finance Minister Grant Robertson said that despite New Zealand’s “rockstar” economy, many New Zealanders were being left behind, with homeownership at a 60-year low, the suicide rate climbing and homelessness and food aid grants (补助金) on the rise.According to predictions by the International Monetary Fund, the New Zealand economy is expected to grow at around 2.5% in 2019 and 2.9% in 2020. But Robertson emphasized many New Zealanders were not benefiting in their daily lives.Although comparable countries such as the UK have begun to measure the national rate of well-being, New Zealand is the first Western country to design its entire budget around well-being priorities and instruct its ministries to design policies to improve well-being.“Sure, we had GDP growth ra tes that many other countries around the world envied, but for many New Zealanders, this GDP growth had not translated into higher living standards or better opportunities,” Robertson said. “How could we be a ‘rockstar’, they asked, with homelessness, child poverty and inequality on the rise? For me, well-being means people living lives of purpose, balance and meaning to them, and having the capabilities to do so,” said Robertson.The opposition ( 反对党) National Party has criticized the budget as being out of touch with New Zealanders’ values, and said what Kiwis really needed to improve their lives was better basic systems, structures and public services.The Kingdom of Bhutan started the global well-being focus with the introduction of the Gross National Happiness Index in 2008, measuring things such as psychological health, living standards, community vitality and environmental and cultural influence to inform government policy making. But despite the index, the country remains a “least developed countr y” and the unemployment rate is rising. Bhutan also ranks 96 spots below the world’s happiest country, Finland, as defined by the UN in its annual World Happiness Report.12.What has New Zealand’s government decided to d o?A.To improve its people’s physical health.B. To increase the well-being of its people.C. To give its people a sense of achievement.D. To raise its people’s awareness of mental health.13.What can we infer from Robertson’s words?A.He is worried about its country’s future.B.He is quite proud of hi s country’s GDP growth.C.He hopes his country will become a big p ower.D.He advises his country should focus on people’s h appiness.14.What does the opposition think of the budget?A.It sticks to New Zealanders’ values.B. It is too unrealistic to be realized.C. It should have focused on public services.D. It helps improve New Zealanders’well-being.15.What can we learn about the Kingdom of Bhutan?A.It set a good example to the world.B. It was the first country to focus on well-being.C.Its government has made many beneficial policies.D.It ranks high on the UN’s annual World Happiness Report.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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
