a number of famous battles with the British.However,theyve always felt superior in the kitchen.France has for centuries had a reputation for cooking excellence,and Britain for some of the worst cooking in the world.But according to a recent survey,that reputation may no longer reflect reality.In the survey,71%of the Britons said they cook at home every day,while only 59%of the French said they cook daily.British home cooks spend more time cooking each week and also produce a greater variety of dishes than French home cooks.The reaction in London was predictably enthusiastic.British food has greatly improved since the 1990s.Once upon a time,the menu for many family meals would have been roast beef,potatoes and over-cooked vegetables,but not now.Home cooks are experimenting with the huge range of ingredients now available in British supermarkets and are preparing all kinds of new dishes,using the cookbooks that sell millions of copies every year.As a result,theres much more diversity in British food now,compared to French food,which tends to be very traditional.Some French people say that the survey did not show the whole picture.They agree that during the week French women dont cook as much as they used to because most of them work and dont have much time.They tend to buy ready-made or frozen dishes,but many of them make up for it on the weekend.Theres also a difference between Paris and the countryside.Its true that people in Paris dont cook much,but 单位：乙州丁厂七市润芝学校 时间：2022 年 4 月 12 日 创编者：阳芡明 单位：乙州丁厂七市润芝学校 时间：2022 年 4 月 12 日 创编者：阳芡明 elsewhere,cooking is still at the heart of daily life.For many French people,opinions about British food have not changed.When Bernard Blier,the food editor at a magazine,was asked about British food,he replied:“I dont go out of my way to try it.It is not very refined.You can say that Im not a fan at all.4.According to the passage,nowadays British people _.A.cook less at home than the French every day.B.no longer eat roast beef and over-cooked vegetables.C.are more willing to try cooking all kinds of new foods.D.buy more cookbooks than French people do.5.What can we infer from the fourth paragraph?A.French women cook less often now.B.The French prefer ready-made dishes.C.French women seldom cook on the weekend.D.Cooking is at the heart of peoples life in Paris.6.What is Bernards attitude towards British food?A.He would love to try it.B.He shows no interest in it.C.He considers it worse than before.D.He considers it better than before.7.What does the passage mainly talk about?A.The history of British food.B.The history of French food.C.The change in British food.D.The change in French food.C 单位：乙州丁厂七市润芝学校 时间：2022 年 4 月 12 日 创编者：阳芡明 单位：乙州丁厂七市润芝学校 时间：2022 年 4 月 12 日 创编者：阳芡明 How Much Can We Afford to Forget?In 2021,Science magazine asked some young scientists what schools should teach students.Most said students should spend less time memorizing facts and have more space for creative activities.As the Internet grows more powerful,students can access获得knowledge easily.Why should they be required to carry so much of it around in their heads?Civilizations文明develop through forgetting life skills that were once necessary.In the Agricultural农业的Age,a farmer could afford to forget hunting skills.When societies industrialized,the knowledge of farming could be safe to forget.Nowadays,smart machines give us access to most human knowledge.It seems that we no longer need to remember most things.Does it matter?Researchers have recognized several problems that may happen.For one,human beings have biases 偏见,and smart machines are likely to increase our biases.Many people believe smart machines are necessarily correct and objective,but machines are trained through a repeated testing and scoring process.In the process,human beings still decide on the correct answers.Another problem relates to the case of accessing information.When there were no computers,efforts were required to get knowledge from other people,or go to the library.We know what knowledge lies in other brains or books,and what lies in our heads.But today,the Internet gives us the information we need quickly.This can lead to the mistaken belief the knowledge we found was part of what we knew all along.单位：乙州丁厂七市润芝学校 时间：2022 年 4 月 12 日 创编者：阳芡明 单位：乙州丁厂七市润芝学校 时间：2022 年 4 月 12 日 创编者：阳芡明 In a new civilization rich in machine intelligence,we have easy access to smart memory networks where information is stored.But dependency on a network suggests possibilities of being harmed easily.The collapse of any of the networks of relations our well-being安康depends upon,such as food and energy,would produce terrible results.Without food we get hungry;without energy we feel cold.And it is through widespread loss of memory that civilizations are at risk of falling into a dark age.We forget old ways to free up time and space for new skills.As long as the older forms of knowledge are stored somewhere in our networks,and can be found when we need them,perhaps theyre not really forgotten.Still,as time goes on,we gradually but unquestionably become strangers to future people.8.Why are smart machines likely to increase our biases?A.Because they go off course in testing and scoring.B.Because we control the training process on them.C.Because we offer them too much information.D.Because they overuse the provided answers.9.The case of accessing information from the Internet .A.frees us from making efforts to learn new skills B.prevents civilizations from being lost at a high speed C.misleads us into thinking we already knew the knowledge D.separates the facts we have from those in the smart machines 10.The word“collapsein Paragraph 5 probably means“.单位：乙州丁厂七市润芝学校 时间：2022 年 4 月 12 日 创编者：阳芡明 单位：乙州丁厂七市润芝学校

we now call flippers!So you dont have to be an adult to be an inventor.One thing you do need,though,is something that kids have plenty of.curiosity and imagination.Kids are known for looking at things

TV or playing mobile games,thinking that this is just normal.I find this a waste of time.16.Every second is valuable and we should rethink of ways of spending our time.Firstly,spend time in doing things that really matter.Spend time with your family and friends.Enjoy a nice hot meal and eat it slowly.Give yourself time to play and spend enough time in sleeping.17.But the truth is the little things matter most in life.Secondly,you have to know what is done cannot be undone.Do not allow your mind to stay in the past.Every day is a new adventure.18.It may not be an opportunity like an immediate get-rich chance,but it may be an opportunity for new experiences.19.If you have only one chance to do something for someone,why not do it to the best of your ability?It should not matter whether you are being rewarded or not.You will take pride in your work because youve done your best.Trust me,quality efforts will be rewarded in time.Lastly,every moment you spend in doing things is the time taken from your life.Dont waste your time away working day and night just for money.20.The value of your time is measured by how you spend it and whom you choose to spend it with.A.You will get whatever you want from working.B.Spend more time on the important tasks instead of time-wasters.单位：乙州丁厂七市润芝学校 时间：2022 年 4 月 12 日 创编者：阳芡明 单位：乙州丁厂七市润芝学校 时间：2022 年 4 月 12 日 创编者：阳芡明 C.Do your best in
