The eight-year-old was born with a physical disability that resulted in his feet and legs severely deformed (变形). Each day, he has to make his way through steep paths and rocky surfaces with a pack tied to his back and his hands slipped into a pair of sandals (拖鞋).His mother, Pipin, remembers when Abdul begged to send him to school. He desired to learn to read and be like everyone else. She was confused at first because she wasn’t sure which school would take him in. Finally she found a school located six kilometers away that accepted Abdul despite his limitations. Pipin thought it was impossible for her son to attend the school as there are no bus services at their small village. But the family was determined. They taught Abdul to walk on his hands. At first, Pipin would accompany Abdul to school every day but now he makes it himself. When the rainy season arrives, the road is slippery and dangerous. On days like that, his parents try to use motorcycle taxis, which depends on whether they have the money to spare. If there is no money, Abdul continues his crawl (爬行) to school by hand.At school, Abdul’s principal Epi sees huge potential in Abdul. “We see he can follow along in the classroom just fine and he has no problems socializing with others,” said Epi. His teachers describe him as a child with enthusiasm and effort in schoolwork. Despite hislimitations, Abdul is active in extracurricular activities, especially in sports.He wants to attend university in the big city. His dream is to become a firefighter because he wants to help people in need. He has other ideals, namely becoming a doctor. For him, the goal is also to help other people, especially those who experience pain.Abdul continues to struggle for his dreams. His love for life and learning has given him the opportunity to go far and his support system is pushing him further into his bright future. 4．What was Pipin’s initial concern about Abdul’s schooling?A．Limited family budget.B．Lack of available transportation.C．A long distance from their village.D．Uncertainty of school admission.5．What can we infer from the text?A．Abdul’s teachers think highly of him.B．Abdul’s disability ruined his schooling.C．Abdul walked to school himself in the past.D．Abdul spends more time on sports than schoolwork.6．Which can best describe Abdul according to the text?A．Active and honest.B．Humorous and optimistic.C．Confident and adventurous.D．Determined and enthusiastic.7．What is the main idea of the text?A．Abdul’s dream of helping people in need.B．Abdul’s inspiring journey in persuing education.C．The challenges in Abdul’s daily life at school.D．The struggles of Abdul’s family for supporting his studying.Climate change and beer might be two things that rarely appear in the same sentence. But according to an article in the scientific journal Nature Plants, if the Earth gets warmer, your Friday-night drink might get pricier.The team behind the article modelled the effect of extreme events on production of barley, the main ingredient of beer. “Extreme weather conditions such as drought or heat willimpact barley production. Barley is irreplaceable in beer making,” said Xie Wei, first author of the article. “If barley production drops, beer production will also drop, and beer might get more expensive.” When global temperatures rise to their highest, global beer supply will drop 16 percent. Prices will also hike due to drop of supply. For instance, a 4.84-U. S.-dollar price hike for a 500 ml bottle is projected in Ireland, almost doubling the previous price. Quality of that beer might also be affected. If barley cannot receive enough irrigation, quality of the protein and carbohydrate in its grain will drop.In fact, the effect of drought on beer production has been seen. Bloomberg reported that drought and heat caused a 30 to 40 percent drop in barley production in European barley producing regions during summer 2018, leading to a 35 percent price hike of barley in France.However, regional fluctuations in barley production are still manageable now. If production in one region fails, beer makers can make it up by importing more from other regions. But if climate change gets out of control, the impact will be global. Agriculture is incredibly vulnerable to climate change.Xie pointed out the impact of climate change is not only limited to staple crops. “We are only using barley and beer as an example of high-added-value agricultural products,” said Xie. “In countries like China, per person consumption of staple crops is dropping, but that of products such as dairy and beer is rising.”Beer, not essential for human survival, occupies a major part in culture around the world. That gives people yet one more reason to care more about climate change.8．What can we know from the first two paragraphs?A．Extreme weather influences the price of beer.B．The more irrigation, the better quality of beer.C．It’s necessary to replace barley in beer making.D．Efforts should be made to promote beer production.9．Why is Bloomberg’s report mentioned in Paragraph 3?A．To lead in a new topic.B．To make a comparison.C．To give a supporting example.D．To provide background information. 10．What does the underlined word “vulnerable” probably mean in Paragraph 4?A．Important.B．Sensitive.C．Adaptable.D．Resistant. 11．What’s the author’s potential purpose to write the text?A．To popularize agricultural products.B．To show the importance of beer in culture.C．To draw people’s concern on climate change.D．To indicate the impact of temperature on staple crops.二、七选五The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that kids do not eat enough fruits and vegetables. There are reasons why kids don’t regularly go for these foods. How can you get your kids to eat more plants?Offer a Variety of Foods From a Young Age12 . To do it at their age of 6 months old is appropriate. There is no literature to support that starting with vegetables will make them less picky. But there is evidence that continued exposure to foods helps develop a more long-term, positive relationship with eating all different flavors and types of foods.Serve Kids Fruits and Vegetables With Each MealKids can’t learn to like something if they aren’t exposed to it. My suggestion is to put a fruit or vegetable on the plate every single meal. They may not eat it. Just continue to offer in various ways: different seasonings(调味), with dips and using different cooking methods. It takes multiple exposures sometimes for kids to learn to like a food. 13 .Start With Small Portions(份量)Especially for younger kids, trying new foods can be overwhelming. If the family is eating broccoli(西兰花), put one piece on your young child’s plate. 14 . This is much more manageable than walking up to the table and seeing a large portion of a potentially scary new food.Model Healthy EatingPositive role modeling is huge in getting kids to eat. 15 . So many parents may be picky themselves and dislike vegetables. You have to put on a good show and set an example of what healthy eating looks like for your children.16Make veggie-eating fun for the family. Have a blind taste test with your children. And you can be honest if you haven’t “learned to like” something yet. You and your kids can trynew foods in a fun way together.A．Make It FunB．Try New FoodsC．Then they can have more if they want itD．But they will never eat it, if they never see itE．And you should tell them they have to eat moreF．It is important to expose kids to diverse foods starting in babyhoodG．If you aren’t eating the foods, you can never expect your child to eat them三、完形填空When someone we love passes away, we preserve the momentos (纪念品) reminding us17．A．wish B．bet C．effort D．mistake 18．A．name B．history C．significance D．appearance 19．A．hear B．delete C．save D．make 20．A．reward B．comfort C．promise D．blessing 21．A．surprised B．heartbroken C．confused D．ashamed 22．A．left B．blamed C．passed D．contacted 23．A．Embarrassingly B．Puzzlingly C．SadlyD．Frighteningly24．A．word B．advice C．secret D．invitation 25．A．repair B．display C．keep D．return 26．A．shared B．adapted C．corrected D．finished 27．A．friends B．strangers C．winners D．participants 28．A．Regardless of B．According to C．Contrary to D．Thanks to 29．A．offer B．lend C．award D．show 30．A．popular B．original C．expensive D．outdated 31．A．preparations B．beliefs C．efforts D．encouragements四、用单词的适当形式完成短文exploring.The arrival of tourists has boosted Zibo’s economy, 41 (advertise) a kind of success which owes to joint efforts from merchants and the government.五、汉译英（整句）42．艺术展览值得参观。

福建省漳州市2023-2024学年高二下学期7月期末英语试题一、阅读理解With the seasons changing, now is the perfect time to start planning summer experiences at outdoor theatres in parks, city squares, woodlands and even the side of a cliff! It’s time to start planning for summer! There are plenty of outdoor theatres to choose from, and we’ve put together a list of the best ones to visit across the UK.Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre, LondonNo matter the weather, as far as I’m concerned when Regent’s Park starts its theatre season, summer has truly begun. Surrounded by dense whistling trees and singing birds, you may as well be a thousand miles from the surrounding city.This year sees a typically varied programme with Twelfth Night opening, Fiddler on the Roof closing and plenty in between.Thorington Theatre, SuffolkA new and beautiful addition to the outdoor theatre world, opening in 2021, Thorington is built in a natural amphitheatre(圆形露天竞技场)hidden in the Suffolk woodlands.This year’s programme includes family favourites such as Teddy Bear’s Picnic and The Little Mermaid, Shakespeare’s The Tempest as well as the mandatory A Midsummer Night’s Dream.Willow Globe, PowysAn attractive theatre, the Willow Globe’s design is based on the London Globe Theatre, but it’s about a third of the size and formed not from wood, but willow trees woven together.Their programme is largely filled with all things Shakespeare: straight plays, of course, but also plenty of fun introductions and interpretations to bring the Bard’s words to new or reluctant audiences.Minack Theatre, CornwallSituated on the cliff of Porthcurno, Minack Theatre is one you hardly need an excuse to visit; seeing anything at all, backdropped by the azure Cornish sea, will be an unforgettable experience.This year sees touring productions of Little Shop of Horrors, The Massive Tragedy of Madame Bovary and some others. If you want a show particularly fitting for this unique surrounding, check out The Pirates of Penzance playing in September.1．Which theater would you go if you are a Teddy Bear lover?A．Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre.B．Thorington Theatre.C．Willow Globe.D．Minack Theatre.2．What do Willow Globe and the London Globe Theatre have in common?A．Their design.B．Their size.C．Their building materials.D．Their programmes.3．What is the main purpose of the text?A．To recommend outdoor theatres.B．To organize outdoor theatre events.C．To show the architectural features of outdoor theatres.D．To explore historical background of outdoor theatres.My family moved to Melbourne where my father re-entered academia and my mother reshaped my life with devotion and patience. Abandoning dreams of a career may have been in keeping with her era, but my mother threw herself into motherhood. My tennis shoes always shone thanks to her care when I slept. At lunch, my friends crowded around my lunch, the tastiest with enough to spare.My brother and I left home around age 16 for a better education. Our big house fell empty. There was no help and even no phone connection. Her “coping strategy” was to remind herself that she wanted us to have what she did not. Back then I was occupied with my own needs; today, I realise my mother paid for my education with her tears.If her self-sacrifice lifted me to greater heights, her second quality built the foundation. When I was young, my mother displayed in me an absolute faith and absolute love. In her eyes, I could do no wrong that I couldn’t fix. She didn’t say overly sweet things to declare her love, but just being with her made me feel like I was the most important person in the world. My mother allowed me to live a fuller life than hers without bargain, or guilt. To this she added extraordinary generosity. Today I credit my strength and stability to the certainty that, regardless of who elsejudges me, my mother will not.Currently I have my own kids. They are children of a different time. Today’s mothers have competing demands related to professional and personal goals. Sometimes, I must put my work above their needs. My mom tried to be my “everything” parent while I am what is called the good-enough mother at my best. We may differ in our methods and tools, but the essence of motherhood remains constant.4．How does the author show her mom’s quality in the first paragraph?A．By quoting a remark.B．By giving examples.C．By making a comparison.D．By analyzing the cause.5．Which words can best describe the author’s mother?A．Optimistic and persevering.B．Hardworking and demanding.C．Devoted and selfless.D．Cheerful and reliable.6．What does the underlined phrase “good-enough mother” probably refer to in the last paragraph?A．A mother who pursues perfection in childcare.B．A mother who devotes herself wholly to her work.C．A mother who places her kids’ needs above all else.D．A mother who tries to balance her parenting with her career.7．What can be the most suitable title for the text?A．The Art of Being a MotherB．Lessons of Love and StrengthC．Motherhood: The Greatest AdventureD．Motherhood: A Journey of Sacrifice and StrengthMuch of the conservation and climate change spotlight falls on tropical (热带的) forests. Given this, people might forget that forests in the temperate (温带的) areas — those found in large parts of North America, Europe and higher latitudes in Asia and Australia —also have the power to help limit climate change. Although preserving tropical rainforests is essential to climate progress, policy makers cannot neglect the important role of temperate forests. This Earth Week, we must turn our attention and dollars to these stretches of trees, or we will face the loss of an important tool in managing global warming.Temperate forests represent about 25percent of Earth’s arboreal lands. As temperatures have changed, temperate trees face threats of harmful invasive pests (侵入的害虫) from other regions, loss of forest lands from urban and farmland expansion. We believe the greatest emerging threat to temperate forests is wildfires that occur beyond normal historic frequency and severity. But surprisingly, widespread fire suppression (抑制), especially in dry forests in the West, has allowed a build-up of dangerous fuels like deadwood. These fuels, combined with the drought caused by climate change, have led to increasingly frequent and severe fires that kill enormous numbers of trees and release a large quantity of CO2 to the atmosphere in bad fires years in the United States.We need to reduce land-clearing for housing and agriculture, then allow trees to regrow where they have been removed, and protect and better care for the few temperate forests that still contain stands of very old trees. These old forests are some of the most carbon-dense ecosystems and possess unique biodiversity. Therefore, governments and landowners must make sure middle-aged forests that regrew after cutting will develop into the old-growth forests of tomorrow.We need to take advantage of current public funding for forest conservation and management and, at the same time, promote private investment to support restorative measures and sustainable forestry to capture the climate potential of temperate forests in the U. S. and elsewhere.8．What is emphasized in the first paragraph?A．Temperate forests’ impact on climate change.B．Distribution of temperate forests.C．Conservation of tropical forests.D．Causes of global warming.9．What does the underlined word “neglect” mean in the first paragraph?A．Ignore.B．Limit.C．Perform.D．Assess. 10．What caused the more frequent and severe wildfires in temperate forests?A．Increasing urbanization.B．Fire control practices.C．The invasive species.D．Farmland expansion.11．Which of the following is a measure to protect temperate forests?A．Banning tree cutting.B．Restricting investment.C．Conserving old forests.D．Protecting farm land.Nowadays we are living in the age of anxiety. 12 When you have faith in yourself, you are best placed to handle the challenges life presents. Strong self-belief is your greatest advantage in life. So how do you build self-belief and overcome self-doubt?Build your teamChoose your companions carefully. 13 You need people who “get you”, and see your true potential. When the going gets tough, you may need to lean on their belief in you and borrow it until your own has recovered and bounced back! Above all, do not get isolated (孤寂的). We need to connect with others and feel a sense of belonging and community.MoveOne of the simplest ways to change your internal state from feeling doubtful to one of enthusiasm and self-belief is to move your body. 14 You can often find a solution to a problem and a fresh new perspective from getting out of your mind and into physical activity.Meditate (冥思)The philosopher Blaise Pascal said, “All of humanity’s problems originate from man’s inability to sit quietly in a room alone.” You could argue that his words are more relevant in today’s times than then! 15 Otherwise, you could be constantly “on” and your nervous system could be flooded with stress, making it hard for your system to come back to balance.Stop the criticism16 There is no one who can do more damage to your self-belief than — you! Show compassion to your “mistakes” and perceived failings. See that no one creates success without learning along the way. Also, let go of what you may be blaming yourself for, either in your professional life or personal.A．Forgive others, or you may stay stuck in blame.B．They will be feeding your self-belief or starving it.C．But we have the power to control what happens around.D．You can be a great partner or a great enemy for yourself.E．But your attitude and your self-belief are your cure for anxiety.F．As little as 10 minutes of swift walking increases your energy and positive mood.G．You need a break from the 24-hour newsfeeds and alarms from your smart phones.二、完形填空Only two tickets to the big basketball game. Three pairs of eyes all 17 the tickets in Dad’s hand. Marcus, the oldest, asked “Dad, which of us gets to go with you?” Dad scratched his head, acknowledging the need to find a fair 18 to pick one of us by the next morning and figure out who 19 it the most.The next morning, we were 20 only by a note on the table, which read, “After finishing breakfast, don’t forget to 21 Saturday chores (家务活) early.” My two brothers swiftly fled out of the house, leaving behind a mess on the table. Well, it looks like Saturday morning chores 22 right here, I thought to myself.As I was doing the chores, I 23 out of the kitchen window and saw Marcus practicing shooting the basketball while Caleb cheered him on. I carried the 24 bag out to the dustbin outside. The moment I opened the lid (盖子) on the garbage container, a flash of white on the inside of the heavy black plastic lid caught my 25 . A white envelope was taped 26 , instead of casually, to the underside of the lid, 27 the word “Congratulations!” on its front. Inside of the envelope was a ticket to the basketball game 28 to a folded piece of paper, reading, “To the one who deserves to go”!That evening turned out to be as 29 as I’d imagined: Two seats at Center Court, and a dad and his daughter cheering their team to victory. It was a long-remembered 30 in individual responsibility from a dad who let his kids make their own choices and earn their own 31 .17．A．looked into B．searched for C．scanned through D．focused on 18．A．bet B．way C．trial D．trade 19．A．needs B．deserves C．mentions D．checks 20．A．panicked B．amused C．greeted D．touched 21．A．complete B．list C．avoid D．leave 22．A．continue B．end C．work D．start 23．A．pointed B．climbed C．glanced D．shouted 24．A．hand B．rubbish C．leather D．sleeping25．A．fancy B．breath C．arm D．attention 26．A．professionally B．normally C．permanently D．securely 27．A．hiding B．bearing C．whispering D．reflecting 28．A．attached B．admitted C．applied D．related 29．A．special B．busy C．boring D．casual 30．A．fight B．performance C．competition D．lesson 31．A．reputation B．profits C．rewards D．living三、语法填空阅读下面文章，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

The area is known for its unusual sea life. The scientists attempt to figure out why sea creatures are so attracted to this part of the Atlantic Ocean.One of the research vehicles is powered by batteries. It collects data for the National Oceanography (海洋学) Centre in Southampton, England, and the World Wildlife Fund. The vehicle can stay floating on water for up to 30 days. Reports of what it finds in the Celtic Sea are sent by satellite.Stephen Woodard is an engineer who helped design the vehicle. He says it has equipment that can discover small organisms (微生物) called zooplankton and fish. He adds that other sensing equipment measures water currents and other features of the sea life.The vehicle also creates a 2-D map of the sea.”Another vehicle that can stay floating on water for months sends information about the areas of an ocean that have a lot of plant and animal life activity.Lavinia Suberg is one of the scientists studying the creatures of the Celtic Sea. She says productive ocean areas, like the Celtic Sea, attract small organisms, which then attract fish. She adds that areas with a large increase in fish often attract sea mammals and birdsUsing these robotic ocean vehicles greatly reduces the cost of exploring the seas with manned laboratories. Scientists can spend more time studying the collected information. They say the research will give them a better understanding of the needs of the Celtic Sea for management and protection.4. Why do the British scientists explore the Celtic Sea?A．To learn why it is rich in sea life.B．To study its currents and geography.C．To test their self-directed water vehicles.D．To know what kinds of creatures live in it.5.

A Chinese company says it has created a new facial recognition system that can identify people even if they are wearing masks (口罩). Engineers at the Beijing-based company say their system is the first to be created to effectively identify people wearing face masks.The company told a news agency that a team of 20 people built the system in about a month. The system is based on existing technologies developed over the past 10 years. The process involved adding a collection of about 6 million unmasked faces and a much smaller collection of masked faces, the company said.The company is now selling two main kinds of products that use the new technology. One performs “single channel” rec ognition, which is designed to be used at the entrances to buildings. The other product is a “multi-channel” recognition system that uses groups of surveillance (监视) cameras. It can identify individuals in a crowd of up to 30 people within a second.“When people are wearing a mask that covers the mouth and the nose, the recognition rate can reach about 95%, which can ensure that most people can be identified,” said Huang, vice president of the company. He added that the system’s success rate for people not wearing a mask is about 99.5%. However, the new system struggles to identify people wearing both a mask and sunglasses. “In this situation, all of the key facial information is lost. In such cases recognition is graunchy,” Huang said.People react to the new technology differently. While some citizens have been against using such tools, the majority have accepted the technology as an effective way to reduce crime and catch criminals.8. What did the company do to build the system?A．It gathered many face images. B．It used the latest technology.C．It added a collection of masks. D．It employed hundreds of people.9. What can we know about the new system?A．Its success rate is affected by cameras.B．It recognizes groups of people in seconds.C．Its performance changes with the location.D．It does better in identifying unmasked faces.10. What does the underlined word “graunchy” in paragragh 5 mean?A．Tough. B．Specific. C．Normal. D．Different.11. What is most people’s attitude towards the new system?A．Uncaring. B．Doubtful. C．Objective. D．Supportive. Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, LinkedIn... . The ways to connect with of us on social media are limitless. 12 Here’s what not to do.People are extremely particular when it comes to sh aring pictures on social media. So, don’t post pictures of people without their permission. While you may not think posting the picture is a big deal, the other person may disagree. 13 It will help you avoid upsetting your loved ones.Just got a new job? Bought a new car? You have got promoted? Or maybe you decided you’re moving? Don’t tweet or post your news to the world before sharing it with your loved ones. A love relationship largely depends on safety and security and the chance to get inside information is an important part of that. 14Social media is public. 15 It’s possible to accidentally hurt loved ones by oversharing. Every relationship is different, so talk to your loved ones before sharing anything you doubt may be borderline too much. Oversharing is one of several habits that destroy trust in relationships.16 If you’re upset and you have the urge to post something that may come off as mean, put down your phone, computer, or tablet and express your anger in another way. It is recommended that you use social media as a tool to spread positivity, such as birthday posts or meaningful articles.My first caregiving experience involved driving 180 miles every day to see my grandmother who was terminally ill.

Entertainment news.BI travel a lot,and I find out different "styles" of directions every time I ask "How can I get to the post office？"Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there don't have names.In Japan,people use landmarks（地标）in their directions instead of street names.For example,the Japanese will say to travelers,"Go straight down to the corner.Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market.The post office is across from the bus stop."In the countryside of the American Midwest,there are not usually many landmarks.There are no mountains,so the land is very flat.In many places there are no towns or buildings within miles.Instead of landmarks,people will tell you directions and distances.In Kansas or Iowa,for example,people will say,"Go north two miles.Turn east,and then go another mile."People in Los Angeles,California,have no idea of distance on the map.They measure distance in time,not miles. "How far away is the post office？" you ask. "Oh," they answer,"it's about five minutes from here." You say, "Yes,but how many miles is it？" They don't know.It's true that a person doesn't know the answer to your question sometimes.What happens in such a situation？A New Yorker might say,"Sorry,I have no idea." But in Yucatan,Mexico,no one answers "I don't know".People in Yucatan believe that "I don't know" is impolite.They usually give an answer,often a wrong one.A tourist can get very,very lostin Yucatan!4.

What is the purpose of Cisco Systems' program？______A. To win financial support from British government.B. To test the effects of 5 G technology on animals.C. To promote its technological development in Britain.D. To expand the future use of 5 G in rural communities.9. What does the underlined word "It" in Paragraph 3 refer to？______A. The project.B. The company.C. The technology.D. The group.10. What can we learn about 5 G according to the text？______A. It is no worse than 4 G in terms of speed.B. It is already widely available in the world.C. It enables cows to control their own milking.D. It is based on sensors and machine learning.11. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear？______A. Entertainment.B. Lifestyle.C. Education.D. Technology.DThe British love their supermarkets.And there are more and more of them every year.But is this a good thing？Not necessarily.For a start，supermarkets have a negative effect on local communities.Money spent in independent small shops usually stays in the area.However，money spent at supermarkets is often put into the bank accounts of distant shareholders（股东），some of whom don't even pay any tax（税）in the UK!Supermarkets are also bad for animal welfare（福利、关心）.The UK has high standards in this field，but some supermarkets get their meat from abroad.And in many cases，this meat is produced under conditions that would be illegal （违法的）in the UK.But once they've got the meat，supermarkets put a British flag on the product as the meat is packed there.Dishonest？Not exactly，but it isn't entirely true either! Supermarkets have a poor environmental record too.Many of them don't store food products themselves as storage space is expensive，so they get food producers to do it for them.This means that supermarket trucks have to make more trips to collect supplies.In turn，this increases the amount of petrol used，which leads to more pollution.In fact，the average item of food from a supermarket travels over 1，000 kilometres.Supermarkets also use a lot of plastic packaging，which isn't good for the environment either.So，what can be done to help the small shops？Not much really.Supermarkets have a lot of power.Many political parties（政党）receive donations from supermarkets and supermarkets often use theirmoney to influence decisions.For example，just before the millennium （the year 2000），one supermarket gave the government 12 million to help build the Millennium Dome in ter，plans to tax supermarket car parks were dropped.Supermarkets are good news for shoppers looking for a bargain，but they're definitely bad for local business，animals and the environment!12. Why are supermarkets in the UK bad for local communities？______A. They refuse to employ local workers.B. They take money away from the locals.C. They drive small shops out of the area.D. They pay more tax than local companies.13. What is the problem with the meat at supermarkets？______A. It is often priced dishonestly.B. It may be packed under poor conditions.C. It is sometimes produced illegally in the UK.D. It may be below UK standard for animal welfare.14. How do supermarkets affect the environment？______A. They cause too much food waste.B. They reuse a lot of plastic packaging.C. They occupy much land-as storage space.D. They carry food over long distances by truck.15. What does the author think of political parties in the UK？______A. They are heart-broken.B. They are money-driven.C. They are open-minded.D. They are strong-willed.Many countries have traditional dishes，made with special ingredients and prepared in a certain way．(1) ，and when tourists visit，these are the foods they want to try．But why are some foods more popular than others in certain areas？Traditional ingredientsTypical recipes（菜谱）are usually made with native plant and animal products．For example，Korean dishes often include rice and soybeans because both plants are native to East Asia and grow well in hot，wet areas．In contrast，wheat grows well in drier areas，like the Middle East，where bread is a common staple（主要的）food．(2) ，whereas inland cuisines tend to use more meat from farm animals Food preservationLocal cuisines often depend on how people traditionally prepared food for storage．In warm weather，meat and fish can go off quickly，so they must be cooked right away or preserved for later．(3) ．For that reason，modem Norwegian cuisine includes many smoked foods．Cooking techniques(4) ．In China，people often fry food in a deep metal pan or steam it ina basket over hot water．In Morocco，people cook traditional dishes ina special pot called a tajine，while in parts of India，people use a large oven，called a tandoor．And some local dishes aren't cooked at all．Imported（进口的）ingredientsSometimes local cuisines include ingredients that originally came from another place．(5) ，while many Russian dishes are made with potatoes．However，all of these ingredients were brought to Europe from South America in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries．But now they are common around the world．A．Seafood is often a key ingredient in coastal areasB．In Norway，the Vikings used to "cure" meat and fish by smoking them over a fireC．Many different cooking techniques are used around the world D．For example，Italian dishes often include tomatoes and peppers．E．These local dishes can become symbols of a place and its culture．F．Nowadays，we can buy food products from all around the worldG．There is a danger that local food traditions will be lost16.

required a few firefighters to slip into the cold water to tie belts under the chests of the horses.The scene was chaotic,and everyone were panicked.Eventually emergency responders secured a rope around the first horse.The method worked,and the first horse was saved.To get the horses out,they used a powerful tractor to get the animals out of the mud and ropes to pull them over the ing the same method but with a more powerful tractor,they saved the remaining three horses, one by one.The effort took a total of about three hours.Despite being chilled and startled,all four horses seemed
