【参考范文】

Dear Noah,

I’m really glad that you take great interest in ancient Chinese architecture.

Millions of ancient architecture has survived in China’s history. However, there is no better place to visit than the Forbidden City in Beijing. It served as a royal palace for centuries. Summer is a good time for traveling, so shall we go there on August 1? I believe you’ll have a better experience if you know its history. You’d better do some research online.

Please let me know if you need further information.

Yours,

Li Hua

Passage 1

(2018·全国卷Ⅰ·B)

　　Good Morning Britain’s Susanna Reid is used to grilling guests on the sofa every morning,but she is cooking up a storm in her latest role—showing families how to prepare delicious and nutritious meals on a tight budget.

In Save Money: Good Food,she visits a different home each week and with the help of chef Matt Tebbutt offers top tips on how to reduce food waste,while preparing recipes for under ￡5 per family a day.And the Good Morning Britain presenter says she’s been able to put a lot of what she’s learnt into practice in her own home,preparing meals for sons,Sam,14,Finn,13,and Jack,11.

“We love Mexican churros,so I buy them on my phone from my local Mexican takeaway restaurant,” she explains.“I pay ￡5 for a portion (一份),but Matt makes them for 26p a portion,because they are flour,water,sugar and oil.Everybody can buy takeaway food,but sometimes we’re not aware how cheaply we can make this food ourselves.”

The eight-part series (系列节目),Save Money: Good Food, follows in the footsteps of ITV’s Save Money: Good Health,which gave viewers advice on how to get value from the vast range of health products on the market.

With food our biggest weekly household expense,Susanna and Matt spend time with a different family each week.In tonight’s Easter special they come to the aid of a family in need of some delicious inspiration on a budget.The team transforms the family’s long weekend of celebration with less expensive but still tasty recipes.

What’s 　8　 interesting is the attitude various cities have toward Dubanchet’s cause.Berlin has been the 　9　 while the most difficult was the Czech town of Pilsen.There, he had to ask at some 50 different stores or restaurants before finding food.The 　10　 is all the more serious when you consider the 　11　 exercise required to bike from France to Poland. 

“I have to get food 　12　 because after all the biking I am tired and I need the 　13　,” Dubanchet explained.“Is my 　14　 full or empty? That is the most important thing, not what I am eating.” 

He aims to 　15　 his journey by mid-July.With any luck, he’ll turn a few more heads in the process.

在高度重视粮食生产的同时,也要高度重视节约粮食,把节约粮食放在与粮食生产同等重要的位置上。这需要全民行动起来,大力推动建立政府主导、需求牵引、全民参与、社会协调推进的节粮减损新机制,努力形成节约集约、绿色低碳、科学健康的粮食流通方式和消费模式。

While restaurants throw away tons of food each year, much of it remains inaccessible because of locked garbage containers, health regulations, or business policies.

分析:本句是一个带有while引导的让步状语从句的复合句,此时while意为“尽管,虽然”。在主句中,because of locked garbage containers, health regulations, or business policies作原因状语。

翻译:尽管餐馆每年都会扔掉大量的食物,但由于上锁的垃圾箱、卫生条例或商业政策,大部分扔掉的食物仍然无法得到。
