At just 17, McGarry is a rising star of the food world and has been dubbed(…取别名) the “Justin Bieber” of American cooking.
Flynn McGarry's cooking career started when he was 11, partly thanks to his mother. “My mom didn't really like cooking, and when she did cook, I didn't really like her food. I was watching something on the Food Network channel and I thought, ‘I could do this,’so I went to the bookstore and looked for the biggest cookbook I could find.”
Within a year, he had produced most of its recipes(菜谱) and was ready for a bigger challenge. He said, “I wanted to create my own dishes and I started to cook for more people than just my family too.” His parents allowed him to build a test kitchen in his bedroom. “At first, they were fine with it, but then they asked if I wanted to sleep next to a stove(火炉) and I said yes ! It started off as two tables with some gas burners, my desk and my bed, but then I needed more space for cooking，so I gave up the desk and got a foldaway bed(折叠床).” Then Flynn'S older sister, whose bedroom had more space, went off to college. He moved down to her room and fitted it with a large stove, four work stations, and a long area for preparing the end results on plates.
Flynn and his mother set up Eureka, a supper club pop-up business that organizes monthly events inside his room. Flynn, who has also cooked in top-class restaurants around the US, says he’s not doing it for the money, but because he loves cooking. “At the point in your life where you stop caring if you,re going to be famous or do well, your dream will come to you. I did something with my gift and people recognized it. I hope to keep getting better and better.
24. Why did Flynn begin to cook?
A. His mother never cooked at home.
B. He thought he might have the ability.
C. His mother suggested it as a future career.
D. He saw information about a cookbook on TV.
25. Flynn's parents asked him if he wanted to sleep next to a stove, because _________.
A. they had some doubts
B. they strongly disagreed
C. they were unsure if it would work
D. they were angry about it
26. What's the best title for the text?
A. Eureka, A Worldwide Supper Club
B. A Famous Food Network Channel
C. Meet With Delicious American Food
D. The Justin Bieber of Food--Flynn McGarry

Usually, when you listen to music you will expect it to be enjoyable. Music is everywhere these days. It can make an experience much more pleasurable, unless we are watching a horror movie. Then, we expect something different, or something that is also horrible!
Mark Korven writes music for movies and TV. He provided the music for a successful horror movie called The Witch .Its director, Robert Eggers, asked Mark not to use any electronic music for this movie. He wanted to create a more real sound. Following this experience, Mark began to think about how a more natural sound could be made for future horror movies. He got in touch with his good friend, Tony Duggan-Smith, a musician and maker of musical instruments. Tony camp up with something great.
Tony created a special instrument that he calls The Apprehension Engine. It looks a little like a mechanic or engineer's workshop table. The handmade instrument was inspired by something called the Soundtrack Box, invented by the Oslo-based new- music technologist Koka Nikoladze. Every section of the instrument is there to create a sound or noise that can scare you.
Mark has said that his purpose when writing music for the The Apprehension Engine is to help produce sounds that are disturbing. He showed his skills recently by giving a hugely successful
performance one dark evening in Brooklyn, New York on Friday 13", of course! In the shadow of candles, members of people jumped out of their skin.(吓得魂不附体)
So, is The Apprehension Engine a musical instrument, a machine, or an engine? If you believe that the purpose of music is to excite the listener, you can probably call it a musical instrument-it’s just that the sounds the instrument makes do not necessarily make you feel happy or relaxed.
27. W hat did Robert Eggers require Mark Korven to do?
A. To invent a new instrument.
B. To avoid using electronic music.
C. To work with others to make music.
D. To make pleasant music for his movie.
28. What is unusual about The Apprehension Engine?
A. It is the idea of a director.
B. It was first played in Brooklyn.
C. It looks more like a machine.
D. It is made up of different instruments.
29. W hat does the underlined word “disturbing”in Paragraph 4 mean?
A. Disappointing.
B. Surprising.
C. Worrying.
D. Relaxing.
30. What's the text mainly about?
A. The advantage of music.
B. A special musical instrument.
C. How to mix different music.
D. How to create music for horror movies.

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,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑，选项中有两项
为多余选项。
Here are five cooking habits that could be costing you important nutrients, causing you to overeat-or even making you sick.
Boiling vegetables
A 2015 review showed that boiling vegetables resulted in a high loss of vitamin C. 31 “If you're not drinking a soup, you are missing out on nutrients.”Says Nishta Saxena,a dietitian based in Toronto.
Washing chicken
While your favorite old cookbooks likely tell you to wash a chicken before cooking, this outdated advice is a safety risk. Cleaning meat in water may remove some of the bacteria, but it' s also likely to pass it around your kitchen. 32 And clean your hands after you've finished
the cooking.
Removing skins from fruits and vegetables
“Large amount of nutrients are found in the skins,” says Liz Powell, a dietitian from Vancouver. “Concern about chemical remains isn’t a good enough reason to do the removing. 33 ”Mixing everything
A smoothie (a mixed drink) is a smart way to eat some greens. 34 They’re often short of protein and healthy fat. These things work together to keep us feeling full and satisfied. Without them, it's not really a balanced meal. Powell suggests adding some foods which contain protein or having a piece of whole-wheat bread on the side.
Overdressing(过分装饰) salads
We think we can add anything to salads, and they'll still be a nutritious choice. But it's just not true. If you’re topping your bowl with dried strawberries and sweet cheese, you've easily added 30 grams of sugar to your so-called healthy lunch. 35
A. You should choose healthy produce for your family.
B. To stay safe, don't wash the meat when preparing it.
C. But these kinds of drinks are likely to be unbalanced.
D. Cabbage, for example, loses about 33% of its vitamin C.
E. Nuts are better choices to improve the taste of your greens.
F. The skins of potatoes contain more nutrients than its inside part.
G. W ashing your produce will remove some chemicals from the surface.

Dear Smith,
I am Li Hua. Knowing that a delegation from Canada will come to our school next week, I am writing to apply to be an English guide. I think I meet your requirements.
First of all, I have a good command of English, which enables me to communicate with foreigners freely and fluently. Secondly, being an outgoing and friendly person, I am convinced that my service will be appreciated. Most importantly, I once worked as an English guide in our community so that I have a lot of relevant experience.
If I am given the chance, I will spare no effort to leave people a perfect impression. I sincerely hope you can take my application into account. Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,

W: In the past two months, I have made friends with two blind women. One is Rose, a young, talented writer whose stories I've been recording. Yesterday I worked together with her on her latest story. I had one other blind friend many years ago. She was Cathy, my favorite customer when I waited tables at a little restaurant near my house, and we became friends. Sometimes I helped her receive and send her mails.
I've learned a bit about the difficulties of being without sight. I believe these women came into my life for a reason, especially Rose and Cathy. I'm extremely grateful to know each of them. So now，I feel I'm the one called on to do something with my voice and my sight to help the blind.
I told Rose about it after she asked about my current writing projects. I will record everything I have ever written on blogs and make sure each page has a video copy. It doesn't take long to make a simple video. Rose said she was really grateful to know that our friendship had helped me understand a little what it feels like to live in her world.
