twowomen in the kitchen-the others sole job was to beat eggs.nShe was unbelievablyfast at beating eggs.I guess fbr a woman to survive in a traditional Chinese kitchenback then,you had to be the best in something/1 she says.Today,Chan leads the kitchen of Ho Lee Fook,one of Hong Kongs most popularrestaurants.After spending more than a decade working in fine dining restaurants inAustralia and Singapore,she is one of a few female chefs who have risen to the top ofa high-end Chinese restaurant.That*s an impressive feat,given how incrediblychallenging it has been for women to soar in high-profile Chinese kitchens.Female chefs have long been a minority in professional kitchens around the world.But the situation is even bleaker in Chinese kitchens.Theres no denying the work isphysically demanding-an empty pot weighs about 2.2 kilograms-but there are otherfactors at play.In the past,masters of many Chinese kitchens would recruit apprentices and passtheir skills to them.Few chefs would risk recruiting a female trainee into that harshenvironment.Given all of these barriers,not many women would even consider this male-dominated industry as an attractive career path.Thankfully,there are signs of a shift inmindset-the number of female Chinese head chefs has been rising in recent years.Even if its a male-dominant kitchen,all everyone cares about is food 一 thecooking.They dont care if youYe a male or female.Gender shouldnt matter,Chansays.Yes,there is a physical barrier but I think the mental barrier may be moreobstructive（阻碍的）to the increase of women in Chinese kitchens/1 Chan adds.Itisnrt just about how much you want it but how much hard work youre willing to putinto it.There are days when you feel like your arms are falling apart and you can*t movethem anymore,but the next day,youre stronger and may be able to work a heavierwork.24.What can we learn about Archan Chan?A.She got a rapid promotion.B.She does best in beating eggs.C.She is the

how age is calculated in the country.At present,its common for South Koreans to have not just one age,but three-aninternational age,a Korean age and a calendar age.But to end confusion,thecountrys parliament has decreed（颁布法令）that from June 2023 all official documentsmust use the standard international age.In South Korea,a persons international age refers to the number of years sincethey were born,and starts at zero-the same system used in most other countries.Butwhen asked their age in informal settings,most South Koreans will answer with theirKorean age,which could be one or even two years older than their international age.Under this system,babies are considered one year old on the day theyre bom,with ayear added every January 1.In some circumstances,South Koreans also use theircalendar age 一 a kind of mashup（混搭）between international and Korean age 一which considers babies as zero years old the day theyre born and adds a year to theirage every January 1.Take Gangnam Style singer Psy,for example.Born on December 31,1977,heis considered 44 by international age,45 by calendar age,and 46 by Korean age.If this sounds confusing,it is,with daily life in the country often switchingbetween the hodgepodge（大杂馀）of different systems.Most people use Korean age,which has its roots in China,in everyday life and social interaction,while internationalage is more often used fbr legal and official matters-for instance,when dealing withcivil laws.However,some laws-including those surrounding the legal ages fordrinking,smoking,and military conscription（征兵）-use calendar age.The revision is aimed at reducing unnecessary socio-economic costs becauselegal and social disputes as well as confusion persist（持续存在）due to the differentways of calculating age,Yoo Sang-bum of the ruling People Power Party toldparliament.28.What can we infer from the third paragraph?A.Calendar age is least used in South Korean.B.A baby can be 2 years old on the second day of birth.C.A persons Korean age is younger than his calendar age.D.International age is widely used in many other countries.29.Why does the author mention the example of singer Psy?A.To explain a rule.B.To present a finding.C.To provide evidence.D.To arouse readers9 interest.30.In which of the following situation Korean age is used?A.Applying fbr a job.B.School registration.C.Introducing a friend.D.Military conscription.31.Whats the purpose of standardizing the use of international age?A.To settle the social disputes.B.lb promote social interaction.C.To make age calculation easier.D.To cut down on the socio-economic costs.DFor anyone trying to lose weight,theres a truth we can all universallyacknowledge that better health is often positioned as a numbers game.Hit the rightnumber,and all your health problems will magically resolve,so the logic goes.Yetincreasingly,science is revealing that losing weight may not be a silver bullet after all.In a mouse study published in the journal Science,looking specifically at aninflammatory（炎症的）eye condition linked to obesity called macular degeneration（黄斑退化）,researchers found the struggle for better health doesnt necessarily beginand end with weight loss.Researchers conducted experiments on mice that were fed a high-fat diet for 11weeks,making them gain weight.The mice were then put on a diet of low-fat food for9 weeks,making them lose weight.Another group of mice only ate the low-fat diet asa control.Researchers shot lasers into the eyes of both the yo-yo dieter mice and thecontrol mice to encourage atypical blood vessel（非典型性血管）growth,a mark ofmacular degeneration.Among the mice that had gained and then lost weight,there was about 40 percentmore atypical blood vessel growth than their stable diet peers.Driving the growthappeared to be macrophages（巨噬细月包）.In the yo-yo dieter mice,these cells hadbeen reprogrammed to cause inflammation.Taken together,these cells appeared to havean outsize role in atypical blood vessel growth in the eyes.Meanwhile,in the mice fedonly a low-fat diet,inflammatory changes were absent.The results suggest that eatinga high-fat diet that causes weight gain,even if followed by weight loss,leaves aninflammatory mark on mouse macrophages.The research comes during a period of renewed interest in anti-obesity drugs.Butmedicines that help people shed pounds do not treat inflammation linked to a history ofweight gain.How to engage these findings with medicine interventions is a challenge/says Bapat,head of the research.32.Which of the following best explains“a silver bullet”underlined in paragraph 1?A.A tough choice.B.A major challenge.C.An ultimate objective.D.A practical solution.33.How do researchers carry out the experiment?A.By listing examples.B.By making comparison.C.By controling test methods.D.By analyzing diet components.34.What can we learn about the research results?A.Stable dieting drives the growth of macrophages.B.Reprogrammed cells are to blame for weight gain.C.Inflammatory changes are caused by the low-fat diet.D.Losing weight doesn*t resolve the inflammation tied to weight gain.35.What is the last Paragraph mainly about?A.A new challenge brought by the research findings.B.A reasonable doubt about the research results.C.A medical trial based on the research findings.D.A further explanation of the research results.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的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。For most people,life has become burden on their shoulders,and its weight isgrowing heavier and heavier,until one day they cant
