For decades, television networks have produced no shortage of entertaining shows featuring food. The success of the shows is a clear indication of the strong appeal of the cookery experience to people. Whether it’s recipe instructions, review of a restaurant or coverage (专访) of a chef, people are hungry to find out more about the food they eat.
One of the latest entries among the food programs is the Emmy-nominated Award Netflix ries, Chef’s Table, which features more than just ways to prepare fine food. Viewers tune in to each episode (一集) to hear a personal story from a distinguished chef. Each chef’s tale is heart-touching with their own unique life experience. Take American chef Grant Achatz for example. The journey to operating one of the highest ranked restaurants in
North America took a very personal turn. In 2007, Achatz was diagnod with mouth cancer and lost his n of taste. Amazingly, he regained it, and has gone on to pioneer a new “progressive American” style of cooking.
Each chef has his own fascinating story, and the ries highlights an important common thread among them: culture. Becau food is so connected with the culture it comes from, each chef reprents whatever traditions and cooking techniques they’ve come out of. They combine their culture’s traditional cooking with new tastes. In fact, many chefs work tirelessly at redefining an entire culture’s expectation for eating.
Despite having a number of unconventional elements associated with their cooking, one thing is clear: Cooking is an incredibly meaningful experience for each chef. One guest described his time at one chef’s restaurant by saying “Eating there is like looking at someone who has put his soul into the food”.

Does it matter if a language dies out? The traditional answer is yes, becau every language is a repository (智囊) of ideas and culture and reprents a unique way of looking at the world. The planet only has about 7,000 languages; the extinction of even one decreas the sum total of human knowledge.
But in some cas, extinction can be en in a more positive light. Take Al-Sayyid Bedouin Sign Language （ABSL）for example, restricted to about 1,000 urs in a small Israeli village with a high level of born deafness, the language ems to be bound to die by the spread of Israeli sign language.
The natural reaction to the loss of ABSL is regret. It is a fascinating language that has kept linguists busy since it came to their attention around 15 years ago. But for the deaf villagers, Israeli sign language is an upgrade: it allows them to speak to tens of thousands of people rather than a few hundred, and enables them to work and marry outside the village. It is hard to e that as anything other than progress. Similarly, other endangered languages die out becau people abandon them in favor of ones that rve their needs better.
Technology also softens the blow, as endangered languages can now be captured in detail — which also means they could eventually be brought back from the dead, much as the Hebrew language was in the 19th century. It is now the first language of 9 million people.
Linguists naturally condemn the loss of language much as conrvationists (环保主义者) once mourned the loss of every single species. But they are moving towards acceptance that not all species can be saved, that
invasive species are not always bad and that human-engineered ecosystems are not necessarily inferior to natural ones. Perhaps our attitudes to language extinction are due for a similar change.
28.What can we infer about ABSL?
A. Another language replaced it.
B. It is an endangered language.
C. Deaf villagers prefer to u it.
D. It has been studied for over 15 years.
29.What does the underlined word “upgrade” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Recovery.
B. Opportunity.
C. Improvement.
D. Update.
30.How does technology affect languages?
A.Technology can remove people’s regret.
B.Languages may be rescued from the extinction.
C.Technology increas the number of endangered languages.
D.Endangered languages might be abandoned becau of technology.
31.What’s the main idea of the text?
A.More and more languages are dying out.
B.Technology creates some new languages.
C.People feel ashamed of language extinction.
D.Language extinction is not necessarily a bad thing.

As the world’s population continues to increa, so does the amount of global waste people produce. According to data collected by the World Bank Group, nations will generate 4 billion tons of waste annually by the year 2100. The pollution from trash is not only ruining the world’s oceans, air a蔡依林lovelovelove
nd soil but endangering all living creatures.
For years government agencies have been telling citizens to live a zero-waste lifestyle. Traditionally, manufacturers would make a product to be ud and thrown by consumers. This linear model of production offered no help in the fight against global waste. Alternatively, a circular economy has been introduced. This is a system which aims to minimize waste and restore ud materials. Once a product’s value is exhausted, the materials are recycled and returned to manufactures. The outcome is less waste.
In 2016, The Wall Street Journal reported on the Taiwan island’s recycling success rate in an article titled The World’s Genius of Garbage Disposal. In 1997, Taiwan established its signature 4-in-l Recycling Program, consisting of communities, recycling enterpris, government cleaning teams and the Recycling Fund. Residents parate their recyclable waste and bring it to their community’s recycling locations. The local government collection teams and private collectors collect it. Recycling companies buy waste materials from them to generate profits. Importers and manufacturers who are responsible for the recyclable products pay a fee into the Recycling Fund. The Recycling Fund is an esntial aspect of the program ud to subsidize ( 资助) the recycling disposal system, support education and rearch and development as well as finance recycling efforts in the future.
By following a circular system, more products than ever are being manufactured using recycled materials. For example, ud tires can be recovered to pave roads, while plastic is reud to make new plastic products. And it also helps to conrve natural resources, reduce pollution, save landfill space and even create new job opportunities.
32.Why has a circular economy been introduced?
A.The population is on the ri.
B.It can help handle global waste.
C.The living creatures on earth are getting less diver.
D.Traditional products are not environmentally friendly.
