二、阅读理解
Who is Li Ziqi? For 7 million watchers on YouTube and 20 million micro bloggers on Sina Weibo, that's an easy question to answer. She holds an account on each of the two platforms, and uploads her videos about the detailed cooking processes of various kinds of traditional Chinese food.
Li is a craftsperson in a rural area of Southwest China's Sichuan Province. Different from others, she is fond of showing the whole process from the field to the table. For example, in her video about spicy tofu, she starts with harvesting the soya beans, grinding them into powder and making tofu, and then cooks it. Her work also includes building a homemade oven to bake bread.
Like the rest of us, Li was probably not born with skills to create the things we see in her videos, but she used everything and everybody around her as a teacher. Li never attended college, but she showed us how useful self-learning can be in an age of plenty of learning resources.
Li lets the world see one of the most important aspects of the Chinese people and how they live their daily lives. She lets the world know that Chinese people love good food and are good at making art out of even simple raw materials, which have caught the hearts of her global audience.
Moreover, Li's charming videos show the simple joys of country living, which she can improve by using her head, heart and hands. While others become the product of their environment, she turns her surroundings into her product. Others see problems and feel frustrated, while Li goes and fixes them. We, therefore, can choose to be inspired by her, to seek the artistic solution and enjoy the creativity, joy and relaxation that "doing" life could offer.
1. What is special about Li's videos?
A. Baking bread in a modem way. B. Both on YouTube and Sina Weibo.
C. Mixing Chinese with western food. D. Showing planting and cooking processes.
2. What has interested global audience in Paragraph 4?
A. Traditional Chinese tofu. B. Turning daily life into art.
C. Chinese people's country life. D. The detailed cooking programme.
3. The author suggests that we should _____.
A. enjoy watching Li's videos B. fix the broken things by ourselves
C. use surroundings to improve our lives D. have the simple joys of country living
4. What is the author's attitude to Li's videos?
A. Favorable. B. Indifferent. C. Doubtful. D. Negative.
三、七选五
Living the light life
Many of us like to dine out and treat ourselves to delicious food. We are used to choosing hearty, fat-filled dishes and sugar-charged desserts, which are not easily cooked at home.
①_____ According to Economic Daily, low-calorie, low-fat and high-fiber meals have become popular in China's restaurants and online delivery platforms.
②_____ According to a report released by Meituan, a major online food delivery platform, the number of light meals ordered online also rose 75 percent from the previous year.

These dishes are useful for keeping healthy and controlling your weight. ④_____ "After eating several light meals, I feel my appetite is becoming poor. I now prefer light flavors," Zou Jing, a college teacher in Wuhan, told China Daily. She shared a picture of her lunch: a mixture of beef, eggs, com, mushrooms and cherry tomatoes.
These changes in eating behavior are connected with deeper changes in how people think about food. Diet quality, not quantity, is important for both weight control and long-term well-being.
⑤_____ It will satisfy not only your stomachs but maybe also your hearts.
A. It is important that you go on a diet based on your own needs.

二、答案:1-4 DBCA
解析:1.细节理解题。根据第二段第二句Different from others, she is fond of showing the whole process from the field to the table.可知,与其他人不同,她喜欢展示从菜地到桌子的整个过程。所以李子柒的视频的独特之处在于它们展示了做一种美食从种植到烹饪的全过程,故选D。根据第二段最后一句Her work also includes building a homemade oven to bake bread.可知,自制烤箱烤面包是她的作品之一,所以A项信息与原文不符;文章提到的是“YouTube上的700万观众和新浪微博上的2,000万博主”,但没有说在这两个平台发布是李子柒视频的独特之处,所以B项信息与原文不符;C项中西方食物的混合的信息文中未提及。
2.细节理解题。根据第四段第二句She lets the world know that Chinese people love good food and are good at making art out of even simple raw materials, which have caught the hearts of her global audience.可知,她让世界知道,中国人喜欢美食,善于用简单的原材料制作艺术,这吸引了全球观众的心。也就是说她把日常生活变成了艺术,这使得全球的观众都对她感兴趣,故选B。A项“传统的中国豆腐”,C项中国人的乡村生活和D项“详细的烹饪程序”都不是第四段中的信息。
3.推理判断题。根据最后一段第二句While others become the product of their environment, she turns her surroundings into her product.可知,当其他人成为他们环境的产物时,她把周围的环境变成了她的产品;结合最后一句We, therefore, can choose to be inspired by her, to seek the artistic solution and enjoy the creativity, joy and relaxation that "doing" life could offer.可知,我们可以选择受到她的启发,寻求艺术的解决方案,享受“过”生活所能提供的创造力、快乐和放松。由此推断出,作者暗示我们应该利用我们的环境来改善我们的生活。故选C。A项（我们应该）喜欢看李子柒的视频的信息原文未提及。根据最后一段第三句Others see problems and feel frustrated, while Li goes and fixes them.可知,其他人看到问题并感到沮丧,而李子柒去解决它们,作者是将李子柒的做法与其他人作比较,B项“我们应该自己修复那些破碎的东西”不是作者建议的内容。根据最后一段第一句中的Li's charming videos show the simple joys of country living可知,李子柒的令人着迷的视频展示了乡村生活的简单乐趣,但综合全文来看,作者主要并不是建取我们去拥有这种乡村生活的简单乐趣。
4.推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句We, therefore, can choose to be inspired by her, to seek the artistic solution and enjoy the creativity, joy and relaxation that "doing" life could offer.可知,我们可以选择受到她的启发,寻求艺术性的解决方案,享受“过”生活所能提供的创造力、快乐和放松。所以作者是在号召我们向李子柒学习,由此推断出,作者对李子柒的视频是非常赞同的。A项意为“赞同的”;B项意为漠不关心的;C项意为怀疑的;D项意为否定的,故选A。
三、答案:①-⑤ GEBFC
解析:①根据后文可知,据《经济日报》报道,低热量、低脂肪、高纤维的餐食在中国的餐馆和在线外卖平台上大受欢迎;结合上文最后一句中的We are used to choosing hearty, fat-filled dishes and sugar-charged desserts可知此处是一个承上启下的句子,所以G项然而,最近轻食餐的兴起给就餐者提供了更明智的选择符合语境。故选G。
②根据后文可知,据主要的在线送餐平台美团发布的一份报告显示,网上订购的轻食餐数量也比去年增长了75%。由此推断出,提供轻食餐的餐厅数量在迅速增加。所以E项这个国家出现了专门提供轻食餐的餐馆的迅速扩张符合语境,引起下文。故选E。
③根据后文Healthy nutrients are the theme of the light meal.可知,健康的营养物是轻食餐的主题。由此可知,本句应当是说明轻食餐里包含哪些健康的食物, B项中“boiled meat, whole grains, fruit and vegetables”与“Healthy nutrients”呼应,所以B项相反,它包含像煮肉、全谷物、水果和蔬菜这样的东西符合语境,承上启下。故选B。
④根据上文These dishes are useful for keeping healthy and controlling your weight.可知,这些菜对保持健康和控制体重很有用。由此可知,上文是在说明轻食餐受欢迎的原因,所以F项那可能就是为什么那么多人,尤其是年轻人喜欢它们符合语境,承接上文。故选F。
⑤根据后文It will satisfy not only your stomachs but maybe also your hearts.可知,它不仅能满足你的胃,还能满足你的心。由此可知,上文指出了轻食餐的种种好处,本段是文章最后一段,有总结上文和提出建议的作用,所以本句是在建议吃一次轻食餐。故C项所以下次你和朋友聚会的时候,试着吃一次轻食餐符合语境,承上启下。故选C。
四、答案:①specially ②putting ③which ④flowers ⑤a ⑥are used ⑦with ⑧but ⑨better ⑩to choke
解析:①考查副词。句意:年糕是一种流行于中国和日本烹饪的传统食物,由特殊处理的大米制成。根据句意可知,设空处修饰形容词treated,所以用副词specially。故填specially。
②考查非谓语动词。句意:年糕的制作方法是将糯米放入水中过夜,煮熟,再捣成黏的面团。根据介词by可知,此处用动名词作宾语。故填putting。
③考查定语从句。句意:从筒单的到复杂的,面团可以被做成各种形状,有些里面塞了甜甜的馅。分析句型结构可知,此处是非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词shapes,且关系代词作介词of的宾语,指物, that不能引导非限制性定语从句。故填which。
④考查名词的数。句意:年糕经常用鲜花或水果来装饰,尤其是在生日和新年等庆祝活动中作为礼物交换时。flower为可数名词,空前无冠词,故此处应用复数形式。故填flowers。
⑤考查冠词。句意见上一题。gift为可数名词,此处表泛指,应用不定冠词,且gift的发音以辅音音素开头,故填a。
⑥考查动词的时态和语态以及主谓一致。句意:传统上,木制的臼和杵被用来捣年糕米。此处是陈述客观事实,所以用一般现在时,且主语与use构成被动关系,故应用一般现在时的被动语态,主语为wooden mortars（臼） and pestles（杵）,所以谓语动词用复数形式。故填are used。
⑦考查介词。句意:新鲜的年糕常常是煮熟的,并热着和各种各样的酱一起被端上来。根据句意可知,此处表示和……一起,所以用介词with。故填with。
⑧考查连词。句意:新鲜的年糕很软,但硬得很快。根据soft和hardens可知,前后表示转折关系,故用but。
⑨考查形容词比较级。句意:年糕很容易变坏,所以最好早点煮,不要把它放在冰箱里。根据后文“than to keep it in your fridge”可知,此处用形容词比较级。故填better。
⑩考查非谓语动词。句意:煮熟的年糕很黏,所以小心不要被它噎着了。根据句意可知,此处表示小心不要做某事,结合形容词careful的用法可知,此处构成be careful not to do sth.。故填to choke。
