【题目】 Most Americans love Chinese food. However, the Chinese food served in most American restaurants is very different from the authentic cuisine enjoyed daily by people living in China. 1Then many Chinese immigrants had trouble landing a job in America. To make a living, some of them opened restaurants. Over these years, Chinese cuisine has been adapted to reflect Western influences.

2The Chinese food found in Western restaurants is mainly cooked through frying. Many dishes are cooked using various frying methods. However, traditional Chinese food is rarely cooked through frying. Instead, methods such as baking, steaming, boiling and fermenting (发酵) are more commonly used.

Another big difference between authentic and westernized Chinese food is the ingredients used. 3 Some ingredients — like carrots, onions and tomatoes — are not often used in authentic Chinese cooking. In addition, while you can find some Western cuisines that use strange meats — like pig ears — most Western cultures are pretty conservative about the meats they consume. Authentic Chinese food, in contrast, uses a wider variety of protein sources, including tofu, snake, chicken feet, duck blood and many more that Westerners generally wouldn’t choose to eat.

4Sweet and Sour Chicken, for example, has no equivalent(同等物)in traditional Chinese cuisine. Similarly, the fortune cookie is a completely American invention.

Indeed, there are numerous differences between authentic and westernized Chinese cuisine, but Western palates (味觉) adapt to new flavors easily. 5

A.The history of westernized Chinese food started in the mid-1800s.

B.Westernized Chinese food features vegetables that are common in Western cuisines.

C.There are so many regions of China, and they all prepare their dishes a little bit differently.

D.So it may only be a matter of time before authentic Chinese food becomes popular in America.

E.Many of the most popular Chinese dishes in the West are not served in Chinese restaurants at all.

F.Deep frying food is quick, which is why you can usually get your Chinese food in just a few minutes.

G.One of the main differences between authentic and westernized Chinese food lies in cooking methods.

【题目】 My first reaction was annoyance. It was Friday afternoon, and I was within an hour of finishing my work for the week. As I was leaving, a nurse brought me one more patient message. The statement read: “Mrs. Jones called to say that she has had blurred vision (视觉模糊) ever since her medical test this morning.” I smiled. Suddenly our tests were causing eye problems.

This week my patients had questioned everything. My patient with high blood pressure had stopped coming to her treatment on the advice of an Internet chat room. A woman who had a mental problem was substituting (……代替) St. John’s word for her medication. Now Mrs. Jones was imagining problems. I rolled my eyes.

My second reaction was worry. As I looked through her record, I tried to figure out why she would have blurred vision, but nothing in her record explained the new problem. She’s probably just anxious, I thought. Still, she wouldn’t have called if she had been all right. I picked up the phone.

What I next felt can only be described as delight. Before I made the call, the nurse ran in: Mrs. Jones called. Her vision is fine. Turns out she picked up the wrong glasses when she left the office. The X-ray technician has been having the same problem. I let out a laugh. Mrs. Jones had been right. Her vision had been blurred. Now we know why.

Finally I felt shame. I came to realize what Mrs. Jones had taught me. I had first known she was wrong, that her anxiety had clouded her judgment. Instead, my medical training had clouded mine. Now I feel thankful that Mrs. Jones figured it out before I made a mistake about our relationship. Patients come to me for my help. They pay me to listen, diagnose, treat and talk. That suggests trust; I must remember that, and trust them too.

1I rolled my eyes because I was .

A.delightedB.angry

C.worriedD.anxious

2Why did I pick up the phone?

A.Because I was told to by a nurse.

B.Because nobody cared about Mrs. Jones.

C.Because I wanted to point out Mrs. Jones’ mistake.

D.Because I was concerned about Mrs. Jones.

3What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A.I felt embarrassed and ashamed.

B.Mrs. Jones would never trust doctors any more.

C.Mrs. Jones’ worry made her less able to think clearly.

D.I had made a mistake about my relationship with Mrs. Jones.

4The purpose of writing the passage is to .

A.share a story about trust between doctors and patients

B.inform people of the importance of medical science

C.teach people how to choose a good doctor

D.persuade people to trust doctors completely
