广西北部湾经济区2020年同城中考学科素养测试英语卷(四)(含听力音频)
Foods that are well known to you may not be familiar to people from different places around the world. Tourists and travelers often get to try some unfamiliar food. That is part of the fun of traveling. Here are four people's experiences with foreign food.
David King is a Chinese student in Italy. "I never had cheese or even milk before came to Italy. Cows are seldom seen in my part of China. So there is no milk or milk products. I drank some milk when I first arrived in Italy. I hated it! I tried cheese, too, but didn't like it. I love ice cream, though that's made from milk." |
Birgit is from Sweden. She traveled to Australia on vacation. "I was in a restaurant that was special in fish. I heard some other people order flake, so I ordered some, too. It was delicious! Later, I learned that flake is an Australian name for shark. Now, whenever I see a new food, I try it on purpose. You know why? I remember how much I enjoyed flake." |
Chandra is a dentist in Texas. She is from India. "I'm afraid to try new foods because maybe there is beef in them. I'm a Hindu (印度教信徒) and my religion (信仰) stops me from eating meat from the cow. That's why I can't eat hamburgers or noodles with meatballs." |
Nathan is from the United States. He taught for a year in China. "My friend gave me some 100-year-old eggs to eat. I didn't like their appearance at all. The eggs were green inside, but my friends said the colour was normal. Chinese people put something on fresh eggs. Then they put them in the earth for three months. So the eggs weren't really very old Even so, I didn't want to touch them." |
We Chinese people are "the children of the dragon". How much do you know about dragons or "Loong"? ●This year is the Year of the Dragon (Loong). ●Dragons are not real. They are from stories. They can fly and swim. ●The Dragon King is the king of rain. ●There are some traditional( 传 统 的 ) festivals about dragons in China, such as Dragon Head-Raising Day and Dragon Boat Festival. We have different kinds of activities to celebrate them. |
Here is an old Chinese story about dragons. A man's name is Lord Ye. He loves dragons very much. He says to everyone, "I really want to see a real dragon." And in his house, the pictures of dragons are on the doors, on the walls and even on his clothes. The Dragon King knows about that. He is very happy. He wants to go to Lord Ye's house and have a look.
One day, Lord Ye is sleeping. A heavy rain comes. The Dragon King comes to the window. He knocks (敲) at the door. Lord Ye is so scared. Lord Ye runs to his bedroom. The Dragon King says, "Is anyone here?" And then, he covers (遮住) his eyes and says no words. Later, the Dragon King goes away. After that, Lord Ye never says he loves dragons.
In our daily life, we are sometimes a "Lord Ye". We say one thing, but we don't do the same thing. Our words are not the same as our action (行为).
