10、y gazpachos (西班牙冷汤菜）as there are Spanish people. Every family here has its own recipe with its own little changes. I much prefer gazpacho mil do in a food mill，as that: allows tor some texture (口感），and that is the way it was made when I was young, Nowadays it is done in a blender, an electric machin

11、e tor mixing soft foods mil liquid together, but it does not torn out exactly the same. Machine-blended gazpacho with bread and olive oil is more like a salmorejo (chilled tomato soup) , but without that soups creamy smoothness. Although tomatoes and peppers arrived on our tables by the 16th century

12、, red gazpachos that mod them did not become popular until the 19th century. Big landowner families that had a lot of country employees generally had a “gazpachero”， a man who would prepare gazpacho for the peasants working on their estates. These men made gazpacho by pounding the vegetable mixture

13、in an olive wood bowl, as in a mortar. They were very patients,as it took quite some time. The main difference between gazpacho and some of its variations lies in texture and emulsion (乳状液).In a classic Spanish gazpacho,olive oil is simply stirredin at the end； in salmorejo, porra and other soups? t

14、he olive oil is emulsified, resulting in rd brighter orange colour and a smooth, creamy texture. Pipirranas components are the same as those in gazpacho，but they arc cut into pieces； with the addition of a little water or ice cubes，it turns into a liquid salad，and the bread is served separately ，for

15、 dipping. Gazpacho is a sophisticated (复杂的)dish that takes to a multitude of variations. But with all its versatility (易变），it still requires a certain balance of components. In particular, too much vinegar or garlic can ruin it Here in Spain，gazpacho can be a drink，a a dip，a sauce or seasoning, a st

16、arter* a main dish，even a dessert. It is eaten at any time ot the day and at any time during a meal. Nothing is more delicious than a piece of toast with a little gazpacho or salmorejo for breakfast! Gazpacho goes well with almost everything but is difficult to pair with wine. The best wines to drin

20、 people from southern China prefer to eat vegetables， while people from north China like to eat meat But what causes these differences？According to a new study published in the journal Cell in October， gene variations （基因变异） might be responsible for these differences， Xinhua reportedIn the study， re

21、searchers from Chinese genome-sequencing （基因组测序） firm BGI collected genetic information from 141，431 Chinese women The women came from 31 provinces and consisted of 36 ethnic minority groupsThe researchers found that there are six gene frequencies that are different among people from both northern a

22、nd southern China They found that natural selection has played an important role in the ways that people living in different regions of China have evolved， affecting their food preferences， immunities （免疫性） to illness and physical traits （特点）， the New York Times reportedThe researchers reported that

23、 a variation of the gene FADS2 is more commonly found in northern people than it is in southern people It helps people metabolize （新陈代谢） fatty acids （脂肪酸）， which suggests a diet that is rich in meat According to Xinhua， this is due to climate differences Northern China is at a higher latitude， which

24、 means its cold and dry throughout the whole year This weather is difficult to grow vegetables in Therefore， northerners tend to eat more meatThe study also found differences in the immune systems of both groups Most people in southern China carry the gene CR1， which protects against malaria （疟疾） Th

25、is is because malaria was once quite common in southern China In order to survive， the genes of people in the south evolved to fight against this disease However， people in the south are also more vulnerable to certain blood-borne illnesses， as they lack the genes to stop themGenes can also cause ph

26、ysical differences between northerners and southerners Most northerners have the ABCC11 gene， which causes dry earwax （耳屎）， less body odor and fewer sweat secretions （分泌）， The New York Times reported These physical differences are also more beneficial to living in cold environments Southerners are l

If everyone matured at the same, fixed rate, it wouldnt be a human process. Indeed, maturation happens at varying speeds across

30、 different categories within the same individual, so Id say I was easily old enough to vote at 16, but nobody should have given me a credit card until I was 32, and Ive got the county court judgment to prove it.However, we broadly agree that theres a difference between a child and an adult, even if

31、we might argue about the transition point. So the political theorist David Runcimans view that six-year-olds should be allowed to vote goes against any standard argument about the age of civic responsibility. Nobody would say that a six-year-old could be held criminally responsible, could be sent to

32、 war, could be capable of consent, could be given responsibility for anything. So allowing them the votealong with, unavoidably, seven-year-olds who are even sillier, if anythingis quite an amusing proposal.Runcimans argument is that this is the only way to rebalance political life, which is current

33、ly twisted in favor of the old, who dont (he added) ever need to demonstrate mental capacity, even long after theyve lost it.The first part of his case is self-evident: pensions are protected while childrens centers are closed, concepts such as sovereignty(最高权威) are prioritized over the far more urg

34、ent business of the future: climate change. Nostalgia(怀念) for a past the young wouldnt even recognize plays a central role, which is completely unfair.Most of the arguments against giving six-year-olds a vote are that children would end up voting for something damaging and chaotic, if someone made u

35、nrealistic promises to them, which could never be realized. Well, its not childrens fault.Having said that, children do tend towards the progressive, having a natural sense of justice (which kicks in at the age of six months, psychologists have shown, by creating scenes of great unfairness to babies

36、, and making them cry) and an underdeveloped sense of self-interest. My kid, when he was six, made quite a forceful case against private property, on the basis that, since everybody needed a house, they shouldnt cost money, because nobody would want anyone else not to have one. Also, food should be

37、free. It was a kind of pre-Marx communism, where you limit the coverage of the market to only those things that you wouldnt mind someone else not having.On that particular day, when we were registered as voters, my kid was quite far to the left of me, but in the normal run of things, were united, wh

38、ich brings us to the point of the problem: children obey you on almost nothing, but they do seem to believe in your politics until theyre adolescent. So giving kids the vote is really just a way of giving parents extra votes. And what can stop us having even more children, once theres so much enfran

39、chisement(选举权) in it for us?Now, if parents could be trusted to use their influence wisely, and hammer into children the politics it will take to assure a better future, then I wouldnt necessarily have a problem with that, apart from, obviously, that culture is already wildly twisted towards parents

40、, and I can imagine a few non-parents boiling with fierce anger. But thats not worth talking about anyway, because parents cant be trusted, otherwise wed all already vote Green(绿党).In short: no, six-year-olds should not get the vote; but while were here, if any votes come up in the near future, whic

41、h will have an impact on the next five decades of British political life, alongside EU migrants, 16-year-olds certainly should be enfranchised.1、The author refers to his age of adulthood to prove that _.Apeople mature at different rates in various aspectsBtheres a common standard for the age of adul

42、thoodCa credit card is more difficult to get than the voteDcertain rights are granted at different stages of life2、People reject David Runcimans proposal because _.Athey dont think a child can grow into adulthood earlierBthey are uncertain whether children can assume responsibilityCthey believe chil

43、dren are far from mature in many waysDthey know the age to get the vote is not to be questioned3、What is the base for David Runcimans argument?AA cultural preference for the old.BThe imbalance in political life.CInequalities of opportunity.DPublic ignorance of childrens abilities.4、The author talks

44、about his kid to indicate that _.Achildren are good-natured and like to help people in needBchildren are simple-minded and can fall for an adults trickCchildren are innocent and dont want to be involved in politicsDchildren are in favor of a just society and tend to be idealistic5、The author thinks

45、allowing children the vote may lead to _.Atwisted cultureBmisuse of rightsCparents objectionsDunusual maturation6、What is the main point of the passage?AAllowing children the vote is not altogether absurd.BThere is a difference between adults and children.CParents should introduce politics to their

46、children.DThe definition of adulthood is quite controversial.24（8分）My husband Dave and I unloaded our car after a fun-filled day trip to Wellington. As soon as I walked in the front door, I noticed a flashing light on our answering machine. I pressed the button. “Hi, Dave and Sharon. You dont know m

Id cleared the memory card beforehandjust some old photos that Id already downloadedso I would have plenty of room to capture every precious moment.Dave and I had one day after our trip

49、 to Wyoming before we had to return to work, so we mapped out a bike ride in Wellington. Upon our arrival, I took a few photos while Dave took our bikes out of our car. Now I realized that was the last time Id seen my camera.I hadnt downloaded our Wyoming pictures. They could have been lost forever.

I phoned the church secretary to co

51、nnect the dots.” Janet described old photos I thought Id deleted. But how could she have recognized our church?“Where are you?” I asked. “Where can I meet you to get the camera?”I didnt have to travel far.

When I was in school，I just lived for the long summer holidays when I could play with my friends and my sister all day at our ease. Everyone has different associations with summe

55、r. For some，they think of the smell of freshly cut grass，for some its lying on a beach reading a book and for others it might be the taste of lemonade or ice cream. I am so happy to be spending this summer with my family and childhood friends here in the Highlands of Scotland after a year away in Fr

56、ance.One of my favorite things to do in summer is go to see the Highlands. These events happen all across the Highlands and Islands of Scotland over the summer and are a great chance for friends and families to get together and support the local community. A Highland Games event is a big gathering w

57、ith food stalls（货摊），fair games for children and sports competitions. Many of the sports are very specific to Scottish tradition such as caber toss. This is a competition in which the competitors attempt to lift a full-length tree log and throw it into the air. The oldest Highland Games of Scotland a

58、re now an iconic（象征性的）part of the Scottish summer.Summer just would not be complete for me without my favorite fruit-strawberries. Here in the Highlands，strawberries are grown as one of the best-sellers over the summer months and one thing I love to do on a warm summer afternoon is to pick some stra
