22、Franco Bergamino is like a surprise “hidden recipe” among young people in southwest China’s
Chongqing Municipality, where the 62-year-old Italian chef runs a dessert house called Mimosa.
The dessert house serves wine jelly with green pepper cheese, jasmine mousse and peach-Oolong cake—fusion (融合) desserts that combine Italian specialties with local Chinese ingredients (原料).
Bergamino used to run two dessert houses in his hometown of Turin, both having a history of 90 years. In 2016, he settled in Chongqing and set up a dessert workshop.
“I especially like Chongqing, where the food and culture are completely different from my hometown. Life here is like ‘the other side of the coin’,” he said.
With the help of his local English-speaking friends, he overcame the language barrier and even learned some Chongqing dialects (方言). More importantly, he has got used to the Chinese table culture of “sharing food together”.
Bergamino said, back in Turin, frequent customers to his shop would buy the same desserts and they would be disappointed if they were sold out. The situation in Chongqing, however, is very different. Customers expect different desserts each month, and they would be disappointed if the dessert menu stayed the same, he said.
From 2016 to 2022, Bergamino felt a huge change in the taste of Chinese customers. “In the past, Chinese guests always said that my desserts were too sweet. Now more and more people have accepted the authentic Italian tastes. Mimosa’s consumers are mainly between 25 and 35 a group that is more willing to try overseas tastes partly due to China’s continued opening to the outside world,” he said.
“I hope I can live to 95 and still work,” he said, so that he can, besides bringing authentic Italian desserts to more customers having a sweet tooth, let more people feel the fusion of Chinese and Italian cultures in his desserts.
【1】How does Bergamino like his life in Chongqing?
A．It’s aimless.
B．It’s hard to adapt to.
C．It’s stressful.
D．It’s completely new.
【2】What do we know about Mimosa?
A．It has a secret recipe.
B．It has a history of 90 years.
C．It’s more popular with young people.
D．It’s a window of western table culture.
【3】Which of the following best describes Bergamino’s business?
A．Challenging but promising.
B．Booming but uncreative.
C．More and more profitable.
D．More and more controversial.
【4】What’s Bergamino’s expectation in his future dessert career?
A．To add more Italian elements.
B．To promote cultural combination.
C．To set up more dessert houses.
D．To expand the age group of consumers.
23、For many health-conscious people, bread is a little slice of hell. Shelves of multigrain loaves—or friends passing around sourdough (酵母面包) starters and attaching the word artisanal (手工艺性的) to the ancient combination of yeast (酵母), flour and water—have led consumers to believe whole grain bread is healthier than industrial white bread. That trend has made for a lot of expensive sandwiches.
Fortunately, a new study by researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science is here to cut through the confusion. In the study, published in Cell Metabolism, researchers randomized 20 participants to consume either processed white bread or artisanal whole wheat sourdough in order to compare the effects of each on the body.
Before the study started, all participants consumed the same amount of white and nonwhite bread for several days. Then each group ate, on average, at least 100 grams of bread—three to four slices—per day for one week. After a two-week break, the groups switched types for another bread-laden week. The total amount of calories the participants consumed remained constant the duration of the study.
The researchers were surprised by what they found. “There were no clinically significant differences between the effects of these two types of bread on whatever we measured,” said computational biologist Eran Segal, senior author of the study in a statement. Those measured included glucose levels upon waking, fat and cholesterol levels, the amounts of essential minerals in the bloodstream and several indicators of tissue damage. Segal and colleagues examined 20 variables and found not one notable difference between the white bread eaters and the artisanal bread eaters. The key finding: It wasn’t that both breads had no effect on the body. Rather, they both did equal damage. As it turns out, half the participants had a higher glycemic response to industrial white bread, and half had the higher response to artisanal sourdough bread.
The researchers also found that which bread was best for you can be predicted based on the bacteria present in your body. They found that the “profile”—the variety of bacterial species—correlated with the glycemic (血糖) response to each bread. The small size of the study means the results should be considered preliminary. The researchers hope to study these predictors more carefully as a potential way to improve nutritional recommendations, says biologist Avraham Levy, another study co-author.
In short, the study provides vital evidence that we need to stop judging each other in the supermarket bread aisle.
【1】Why does the author use “fortunately” at the beginning of the second paragraph?
A．The study is conducted by researchers specializing in food and nutrition.
B．The study can deepen people’s understanding of the advantages of yeast.
C．The study has made great breakthroughs in finding what matters in bread.
D．The study shows you needn’t spend so much money on wholegrain bread.
【2】What can be concluded from the study mentioned in the passage?
A．Both white bread and nonwhite bread may do harm to our health.
B．People respond similarly to white bread but differently to nonwhite bread.
C．White bread and wholegrain bread produce no immediate effect on the body.
D．White bread eaters and artisanal bread eaters report different body responses.
【3】The findings need more research because of ________ .
A．the theory they are based on
B．the number of participants
C．the method of the experiments
D．the duration of the study
【4】Which of the following is the author most likely to agree with?
A．It’s better to stick to ancient ways of making bread.
B．Supermarkets should label the bread that may do harm.
C．There is no need to choose bread due to its ingredients.
D．Bread must be free of bacteria for the sake of our health.
24、Summer is coming, and soon beaches will be full of the sounds of people having fun. If you can find a quieter spot of ocean and stick your ears under the water, you might hear many other sounds made by fish.
Unlike birds, which make sounds in the same way, Audrey Looby, a fish-sound researcher at the University of Florida, says that fish make sounds in different ways. Fish do not have specialised vocal cords or voice boxes. So, one of the most common ways they make sounds is through tribulation — like clicking their teeth or rubbing their pectoral fins against other structures. Many others make sounds with their swim bladders, which they use primarily to stay level in the water.
Scientists are unsure how many fish make sounds, but some estimate that it might be as many as 22,000 types, which is two-thirds of about 34,000 known species. And those are just the sounds fish make on purpose — to call to mates, to let other fish know they’re in trouble or to communicate that “this is my area of the reef, listen to how tough I sound so why don’t you just swim away,” Looby says. Fish also make passive sounds, such as chewing noises as they munch on seagrass or algae.
According to Looby, active and passive sounds are important because they convey a lot of information about what’s going on to fish and to researchers. For example, let anyone who’s listening know that there is a food source available.
With climate change making parts of the ocean heat up and become unlivable for fish in other ways, researchers say that fish sounds could help them preserve and restore habitats. For example, there are projects looking into whether piping in the sounds of a healthy reef into one that is dying might encourage fish to come back and populate it. “Learning about fish sounds lets us learn about underwater environments and hopefully manage them at the same time,” Looby said.
【1】What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A．How fish use sounds.
B．Why fish make sounds.
C．What voice boxes are.
D．How fish make sounds.
【2】What happens to a fish because of its swim bladder function?
A．It can find a habitat.
B．It can click their teeth.
C．It can float in the water.
D．It can attract the other fish.
【3】Why might fish make sounds?
A．To find food sources.
B．To warn other animals.
C．To sound like a boat whistle.
D．To reduce the effects of environment.
【4】Why do scientists want to play healthy reef sounds in a dying reef?
A．To get fish to return to it.
B．To get scientists to find it.
C．To show that it is not safe.
D．To show how deep underwater it is.
