making the pilgrimage（朝圣）to Mecca to leave all my friends，to abandon my home as birds abandon their nests” So begins an old manuscript in a library in Paristhe travel diary of Ibn BattutaAlmost two centuries before Columbus，this young Moroccan set off for Mecca，returning home three decades later as one of historys great travelersDriven by curiosity，he journeyed to remote corners of the Islamic world，traveling through 44 modern countries，three times as far as Marco PoloLittle celebrated in the West，his name is well known among ArabsIn his hometown of Tangier，a square，a hotel，a cafe，a ferry boat，and even a hamburger are named after himIbn Battuta stayed in Mecca as a student for several years，but the urge to travel soon took overIn one adventure，he traveled to India seeking profitable employment with the sultanthe Muslim ruler of DelhiOn the way，he described his group being attacked in the open country by 80 men on foot，and two horsemen: “ I was hit by an arrow and my horse by another，but God in his grace preserved me ” In Delhi，the sultan gave him the position of judge，based on his previous study at MeccaBut the sultan had an unpredictable character，and Ibn Battuta looked for an opportunity to leaveWhen the sultan offered to finance a trip to China，he agreedIbn Battuta set off in three ships，but misfortune struck while he was still on the shoreA sudden storm grounded and broke up two ships，scattering （散播）treasure and drowning many people and horsesAs he watched，the third ship，with all his belongings and slavesone carrying his childwas carried out to sea and never heard from againAfter a lifetime of amazing adventures，Ibn Battuta was finally ordered by the Sultan of Morocco to return home to share his wisdom with the worldFortunately，he agreed and wrote a book

Paris and ask your average French citizen about American cuisine (烹饪) and hes likely to answer，“ McDonalds” Ask the same thing of any American citizen on any American street and Im afraid youd get the same answer，or something close to itHamburgers and hotdogs and fries are all fine，but with American malls and other outlets standardizing everything from clothing to food，the sad truth is that American cuisine is becoming more homogeneousall the sameno matter where you liveTrue，many Americans are eating more varied foods these days，but these are largely the cuisines of immigrant groups，and they are quite likely to be affected by homogenization of American cuisineSo what exactly is American cuisine？ Well，to some extent it is a reflection of our melting pot culture，meaning that Europeans made huge contributions in the form of wheat，dairy products，pork，beef and poultryBut American cuisine also includes products that once were known only to the New World，including potatoes，corn，pumpkin，sweet potatoes，and peanutsThe one region of the country where you still find all these things in daily use is the Deep SouthThe South lost the Civil War，but children of the southerners are winning the battle to preserve and advance their cooking traditionsand in this case one of the few cuisines can truly be called American，which is why were pleased to have Low Country cuisine in this issue of food creationThats right，grits and gravy are back in a big way in cities like Charleston and SavannahTruth is，they never really left，but up until a decade ago Low Country cuisine was more common at home than in restaurantsIn fact，a large number of tourists now go to the lower Atlantic region in order to experience this extraordinary cuisine for themselvesTime will tell whether Low Country cuisine becomes popular in other regions of the country in the way that，say，Italian cuisine has，but its amazing and heartening to see one of our true cultural treasures enjoying renewed popularity in these increasingly homogeneous times1According to the passage，American cuisine impresses people as being _Adull and changelessBrich and variousCpopular and deliciousDdisagreeable and unpleasant2It can be seen that the writer feels regretful that _Acuisines of other countries play a more important role in AmericaBAmerican cuisine has become increasingly lacking in varietyCAmerican cuisine tends to vary because of immigrationDAmerican cuisine is being changed by foreign cuisines3From the passage，we know that grits and gravy _ Awere cooked with new materials after the Civil War Bare gaining popularity in the south of America Cwere more popular over ten years ago Dare seldom served in restaurants4Whats the writers attitude towards the renewal of Low Country cuisine in America？AConcerned and cautiousBHopeless and doubtfulCPositive and supportiveDCritical and disapproving20.DThe Enigma（谜）of BeautyThe search for beauty spans centuries and continentsPaintings of Egyptians dating back over 4,000 years show both men and women painting their nails and wearing makeupIn 18th-century France，wealthy noblemen wore large wigs (假发) of long，white hair to make themselves attractiveToday，people continue to devote a lot of time and money to their appearanceThere is at least one good reason for the desire to be attractive: beauty is powerStudies suggest that good-looking people make more money，get called on more often in class，and are regarded as friendlierBut what exactly is beauty？ Its difficult to describe it clearly，and yet we know it when we see itAnd our awareness of it may start at a very early ageIn one set of studies，six-month-old babies were shown a series of photographsThe faces on the pictures had been rated for attractiveness by a group of college studentsIn the studies，the babies spent more time looking at the attractive faces than the unattractive onesThe idea that even babies can judge appearance makes perfect sense to many researchersIn studies by psychologists，men consistently showed a preference for women with larger eyes，fuller lips，and a smaller nose and chin while women prefer men with large shoulders and a narrow waistAccording to scientists，the mind unconsciously tells men and women that these traitsthe full lips，clear skin，strong shouldersequal health and genetic well-beingNot everyone thinks the same way，however“Our hardwiredness can be changed by all sorts of expectationsmostly cultural,” says CLoring Brace，an anthropologist at the University of MichiganWhat is considered attractive in one culture might not be in anotherLook at most Western fashion magazines: the women on the pages are thinBut is this “perfect” body type for women worldwide？ Scientists answer is no; what is considered beautiful is subjective and varies around the worldThey found native peoples in southeast Peru preferred shapes regarded overweight in Western culturesFor better or worse，beauty plays a role in our livesBut it is extremely difficult to describe exactly what makes one person attractive to anotherAlthough there do seem to be certain physical traits considered universally appealing，it is also true that beauty does not always keep to a single，uniform standardBeauty really is，as the saying goes，in the eye of the beholder1Peoples ideas about beauty _Ahave existed since ancient timesBcan be easily describedChave little influence on a persons successDare based upon strict criteria2In Paragraph 3，the babies in the study _Awere rated for their appearanceBwere entered in a beauty contestCwere shown photos of a group of college studentsDwere able to tell attractive faces from unattractive ones3The underlined word “traits” in Paragraph 4 probably means _Aqualities Bmeasurements Cjudgments Dstandards4We can learn from the passage that _Athe ideas of beauty vary as people grow upBthe search for beauty is rooted in lack of confidenceCthe standards for beauty are based on scientific researchesDthe understanding of beauty depends on cultural backgrounds21.根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Virtual (虚拟) TeamsVirtual teams are a great way to enable
