Known on social media as The Sioux Chef, Sean Sherman grew up on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. He is reconnecting the locals of North America with native flavors and ingredients, and working to inspire a generation of indigenous (本土的) chefs to reclaim their cooking past.
Pine Ridge in South Dakota contains some of the poorest communities in the country, and it’s out of that environment that Sherman got his first job in the restaurant industry as a dishwasher at a local steakhouse. As he developed a love of cooking, which saw him move to Minneapolis to study Japanese and French cuisines, Sherman realized he didn’t know indigenous recipes.
“What were my Lakota ancestors eating and storing away? How were they getting oils, salts and fats and things like that?” Sherman remembered asking himself in an interview on PBS NewsHour. “So it took me quite a few years of just researching, but it really became a passion. ”
These years of researching, talking to elders, and consulting written material helped him produce The Sioux Chefs Indigenous Kitchen, which in 2018 won Sherman the James Beard Award for Best American Cookbook.
After publishing the book, Sherman opened his restaurant, Owamni, in Minneapolis and created the North American Traditional Indigenous Food Systems(NATIFS). It is a professional indigenous kitchen and training center that seeks to create an educational space for native chefs to be trained and develop their skills, and reconnect with their cooking heritage.
“Part of our challenge to ourselves was to cut out ingredients that are not native so we stopped using dairy, wheat flour and cane sugar, ” he said. He cooks with local ingredients. His choices of meats are the same as those hunted by his ancestors — deer, fish, and birds.
“For indigenous people who went through very strong assimilation (同化现象), we lost a lot of our food culture,” Sherman said. “But we’re at a point now where we can reclaim it and develop it for the next generation. To be able to share culture through food will be really healing.”
64．What did Sherman realize when he was in Minneapolis?
A．He didn’t have enough cooking passion.
B．He should spend a few years researching cooking.
C．He should write a book about the indigenous recipes.
D．He didn’t know his Lakota ancestors’ cooking ways and ingredients.
65．Sherman set up the NATIFS center to ________.
A．make money and open his own restaurant
B．build an educational space for local children
C．train and help local chefs to cook local food
D．teach native chefs the most superb cooking skills
66．What is a problem for his native cooking culture according to Sherman?
A．Very strong assimilation.
B．Its high speed of evolution.
C．Too much meat in the diet.
D．Indigenous recipes that can’t be shared.
【答案】64．D 65．C 66．A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。被媒体称作The Sioux Chef的Sean Sherman在松树岭印第安人保留地长大。他致力于重新确定本土菜肴的地位，并且鼓励更多的人成为本土厨师，以对抗现如今世界各地菜肴的严重同化。
64． 细节理解题。根据第二段“As he developed a love of cooking, which saw him move to Minneapolis to study Japanese and French cuisines, Sherman realized he didn’t know indigenous recipes.(随着他对烹饪的热爱，他搬到明尼阿波利斯学习日本和法国菜，谢尔曼意识到他不了解本土食谱)”和第三段“What were my Lakota ancestors eating and storing away?(我的拉科塔祖先吃了什么，储存了什么？”可知，Sherman在明尼阿波利斯的时候意识到了他不知道他的拉科塔祖先的烹饪方法和配料。故选D。
65． 细节理解题。根据第五段“After publishing the book, Sherman opened his restaurant, Owamni, in Minneapolis and created the North American Traditional Indigenous Food Systems(NATIFS). It is a professional indigenous kitchen and training center that seeks to create an educational space for native chefs to be trained and develop their skills, and reconnect with their cooking heritage. (在出版了这本书之后，谢尔曼在明尼阿波利斯开了自己的餐馆Owamni，并创建了北美传统土著食品系统(NATIFS)。这是一个专业的土著厨房和培训中心，旨在为土著厨师提供培训和发展技能的教育空间，并与他们的烹饪传统重新建立联系)”可知，Sherman创办北美传统土著食品系统的目的就是为了培训当地厨师，发展他们自己的技能并重拾他们的烹饪传统。故选C。
66．细节理解题。根据最后一段““For indigenous people who went through very strong assimilation (同化现象), we lost a lot of our food culture,” Sherman said.(“对于那些经历了强烈同化的土著人来说，我们失去了很多饮食文化，” Sherman说)”可知，Sherman认为本土烹饪文化的最大问题就是被同化得太严重，失去了很多祖先的饮食文化。故选A。

I have lived in rural America for nine years, first in Michigan, where I got my PhD; then in central Illinois and now in Indiana, where I am a professor.

The small patch of land located just off the country’s eastern coast in Trat Province has been called “Koh Khai Hua Roh” because it looks similar to the island featured in drawings of funny scenes involving a man and a woman trapped on an island in the popular Khai Hua Roh comic. The uninhabited island is quite a sight to behold, as it is home to a lonely tree that struggle to live despite being surrounded by salt water. Unfortunately, the tree’s popularity might just be the death of it.
On Tuesday, the Koh Mak Tambon Administrative Organization led a team of Thai reporters to Koh Khai Hua Roh in order to observe the country’s loneliest tree. They knew that photos of the lonely tree shared on social media had been attracting an increasing number of tourists to the island, but they had no idea how much damage that could produce.
According to The Nation, several small branches of the tree were found broken off, the tree’s exposed roots appeared to have been stepped heavily on to the point where the outer cover has peeled off (剥落), and the trunk appears to be tilting (倾斜) more than it did a few years back.
4．The name of the island is related to .
A．a lonely tree B．a popular comic
C．a controversial selfie D．a threatened tourist
5．How is the loneliest tree according to The Nation?
A．It is under protection. B．It proves inaccessible
C．It has become less popular. D．It is in a really bad state.
【答案】4．B 5．D
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了泰国东海岸的Koh Khai Hua Roh岛上有一棵孤独的树，它受到了游客的欢迎。最近，一组泰国记者去观察这棵树，却发现它已经被涌入的游客严重损坏。作为回应，Koh Mak Tambon行政组织计划开展一场教育活动，并采取更严厉的措施，比如限制游客人数和只在特定季节开放来保护这一景观。
4.细节理解题。根据第二段中“The small patch of land located just off the country’s eastern coast in Trat Province has been called “Koh Khai Hua Roh” because it looks similar to the island featured in drawings of funny scenes involving a man and a woman trapped on an island in the popular Khai Hua Roh comic.(这片位于泰国东部海岸的小块土地被称为“Koh Khai Hua Roh”，因为它看起来很像广受欢迎的漫画《Khai Hua Roh》中一个男人和一个女人被困在岛上的有趣场景)”可知，这个岛的名字与广受欢迎的漫画《Khai Hua Roh》有关。故选B项。
5．细节理解题。根据第四段中“According to The Nation, several small branches of the tree were found broken off, the tree’s exposed roots appeared to have been stepped heavily on to the point where the outer cover has peeled off (剥落), and the trunk appears to be tilting (倾斜) more than it did a few years back.(据《国家》杂志报道，这棵树的几根小树枝被折断了，暴露在外的树根似乎被人重重地踩到了，以至于外层的覆盖物都剥落了，树干似乎比几年前倾斜得更厉害)”可知，据《国家》杂志报道，这棵树处于一个非常糟糕的状态。故选D项。

It took Schultz a year to convince the Starbucks owners to hire him. When they finally made him director of marketing and operations in 1982, he had another idea. This one occurred in Italy, when Schultz noticed the coffee bars that existed on almost every block. He learned that they not only served excellent espressos (蒸馏咖啡), they also served as meeting places or public squares, and there were 200,000 of them in the country.
But when he came back to Seattle, the Starbucks owners resisted Schultz’s plans to serve coffee in the stores, saying the restaurant business was competitive, and it was costly to hire waiters. After all, economic benefits were their primary motivator. Frustrated, Schultz quit and started his own coffee-bar business in 1985, named “II Giornale”. It was successful, and two years later, the original Starbucks management sold its Starbucks retail unit to Schultz for $3.8 million.
As the company began to expand rapidly in the 1990s, Schultz always said that the main goal was “to serve a great cup of coffee”. Asked about the secret of his success, Schultz told us the principles: “Don’t be threatened by people smarter than you. Compromise anything but your core values.”
24．What caused Schultz to join the Starbucks?
A．The pleasant smell of its coffee bean. B．His strong desire to improve himself.
C．The owners’ impressive work attitude. D．His eagerness to sell more coffeemakers.
25．Which of the following can best describe Schultz’s personality?
A．Committed and generous. B．Sociable and helpful.
C．Motivated and considerate. D．Determined and creative.
26．Why did the Starbucks owners refuse to serve coffee in the stores?
A．Many coffee bars had existed in Seattle.
B．People preferred tasting coffee at home.
C．Workforce was insufficient in the market.
D．They tried to avoid high cost of labor force.
27．What does Schultz think contributes to his success?
A．Learning from smarter people. B．Sticking to his own core values.
C．Keeping his business a secret. D．Remembering a set of principles.
【答案】26．D 27．B
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了霍华德·舒尔茨带领星巴克咖啡公司走向成功的故事。
26． 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“But when he came back to Seattle, the Starbucks owners resisted Schultz’s plans to serve coffee in the stores, saying the restaurant business was competitive, and it was costly to hire waiters. After all, economic benefits were their primary motivator. (但当他回到西雅图时，星巴克的老板们反对舒尔茨在店内提供咖啡的计划，称餐饮业竞争激烈，而且雇佣服务员的成本很高。毕竟，经济利益是他们的主要动力)”可知，星巴克的老板拒绝在店里供应咖啡，因为他们试图避免高昂的劳动力成本。故选D。
27．细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Asked about the secret of his success, Schultz told us the principles: “Don’t be threatened by people smarter than you. Compromise anything but your core values.”(当被问及他成功的秘诀时，舒尔茨告诉我们：“不要被比你聪明的人威胁。除了你的核心价值观，什么都可以妥协。”)”可知，舒尔茨认为，坚持自己的核心价值观是他成功的原因。故选B。

The task John set for himself was to remove harmful substances from some sludge (污泥). First, he constructed a series of clear fiberglass tanks connected to each other. Then he went around to local ponds and streams and brought back some plants and animals. He placed them in the tanks and waited. Little by little, these different kinds of life got used to one another and formed their own ecosystem. After a few weeks, John added the sludge.
He was amazed at the results. The plants and animals in the eco-machine took the sludge as food and began to eat it! Within weeks, it had all been digested, and all that was left was pure water.
Over the years John has taken on many big jobs. He developed a greenhouse-like facility that treated sewage (污水) from 1,600 homes in South Burlington. He also designed an eco-machine to clean canal water in Fuzhou, a city in southeast China.
“Ecological design” is the name John gives to what he does. “Life on Earth is kind of a box of spare parts for the inventor,” he says. “You put organisms in new relationships and observe what’s happening. Then you let these new systems develop their own ways to self-repair.”
5. Why did John put the sludge into the tanks?
A. To feed the animals. B. To build an ecosystem.
C. To protect the plants. D. To test the eco-machine.

On March 7, 1907, the English statistician Francis Galton published a paper which illustrated what has come to be known as the “wisdom of crowds” effect. The experiment of estimation he conducted showed that in some cases, the average of a large number of independent estimates could be quite accurate.
This effect capitalizes on the fact that when people make errors, those errors aren’t always the same. Some people will tend to overestimate, and some to underestimate. When enough of these errors are averaged together, they cancel each other out, resulting in a more accurate estimate. If people are similar and tend to make the same errors, then their errors won’t cancel each other out. In more technical terms, the wisdom of crowds requires that people’s estimates be independent. If for whatever reasons, people’s errors become correlated or dependent, the accuracy of the estimate will go down.
But a new study led by Joaquin Navajas offered an interesting twist (转折) on this classic phenomenon. The key finding of the study was that when crowds were further divided into smaller groups that were allowed to have a discussion, the averages from these groups were more accurate than those from an equal number of independent individuals. For instance, the average obtained from the estimates of four discussion groups of five was significantly more accurate than the average obtained from 20 independent individuals.
13. Navajas’ study found that the average accuracy could increase even if ________.
A. the crowds were relatively small B. there were occasional underestimates
C. individuals did not communicate D. estimates were not fully independent
【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段的“In more technical terms, the wisdom of crowds requires that people’s estimates be independent.(从更专业的角度来说，群众的智慧要求人们的估计是独立的。)”和第三段的“The key finding of the study was that when crowds were further divided into ......than the average obtained from 20 independent individuals.(这项研究的关键发现是，当人群被进一步划分为允许进行讨论的小组时，这些小组的平均值比同等数量的独立个体的平均值更准确。例如，从四个五人讨论组的估计中获得的平均值明显比从20个独立个体获得的平均值更准确。)”可知，人们在没有独立的情况下，分成更小群体，平均值是更准确的，说明即使在估计数字并非完全独立的情况下，准确率提高也是可以做到的。故选D。

I truly believe we all have a very special purpose in life, regardless of who we are or where we come from. After ten years of working for a major Wall Street bank, I wanted to do something challenging. So when I read a Merrill Lynch advertisement looking to hire more stockbrokers (股票经纪人), with great excitement, I made some phone calls and arranged to meet with one of its branch vice presidents. After this interview and interviews with twelve of his top stockbrokers, I eventually landed the job.
The first few months was a struggle. I lived on very little commission (佣金). Night after night, I left the office weary and exhausted, ready to give up, yet somehow returning the next morning to start anew day. Eventually, all the hard work paid off. In less than four years, I became one of the top sales people at my branch and increased personal sales by 1,700 percent. The success earned me a six-figure income, promotion and numerous sales awards.

A．To arrange an interview. B．To make an advertisement.
C．To employ more clerks. D．To get a position.

Known on social media as The Sioux Chef, Sean Sherman grew up on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. He is reconnecting the locals of North America with native flavors and ingredients, and working to inspire a generation of indigenous (本土的) chefs to reclaim their cooking past.
Pine Ridge in South Dakota contains some of the poorest communities in the country, and it’s out of that environment that Sherman got his first job in the restaurant industry as a dishwasher at a local steakhouse. As he developed a love of cooking, which saw him move to Minneapolis to study Japanese and French cuisines, Sherman realized he didn’t know indigenous recipes.
“What were my Lakota ancestors eating and storing away? How were they getting oils, salts and fats and things like that?” Sherman remembered asking himself in an interview on PBS NewsHour. “So it took me quite a few years of just researching, but it really became a passion. ”
These years of researching, talking to elders, and consulting written material helped him produce The Sioux Chefs Indigenous Kitchen, which in 2018 won Sherman the James Beard Award for Best American Cookbook.
After publishing the book, Sherman opened his restaurant, Owamni, in Minneapolis and created the North American Traditional Indigenous Food Systems(NATIFS). It is a professional indigenous kitchen and training center that seeks to create an educational space for native chefs to be trained and develop their skills, and reconnect with their cooking heritage.
“Part of our challenge to ourselves was to cut out ingredients that are not native so we stopped using dairy, wheat flour and cane sugar, ” he said. He cooks with local ingredients. His choices of meats are the same as those hunted by his ancestors — deer, fish, and birds.
“For indigenous people who went through very strong assimilation (同化现象), we lost a lot of our food culture,” Sherman said. “But we’re at a point now where we can reclaim it and develop it for the next generation. To be able to share culture through food will be really healing.”
64．What did Sherman realize when he was in Minneapolis?
A．He didn’t have enough cooking passion.
B．He should spend a few years researching cooking.
C．He should write a book about the indigenous recipes.
D．He didn’t know his Lakota ancestors’ cooking ways and ingredients.
65．Sherman set up the NATIFS center to ________.
A．make money and open his own restaurant
B．build an educational space for local children
C．train and help local chefs to cook local food
D．teach native chefs the most superb cooking skills
66．What is a problem for his native cooking culture according to Sherman?
A．Very strong assimilation.
B．Its high speed of evolution.
C．Too much meat in the diet.
D．Indigenous recipes that can’t be shared.
【答案】64．D 65．C 66．A

65． 细节理解题。根据第五段“After publishing the book, Sherman opened his restaurant, Owamni, in Minneapolis and created the North American Traditional Indigenous Food Systems(NATIFS). It is a professional indigenous kitchen and training center that seeks to create an educational space for native chefs to be trained and develop their skills, and reconnect with their cooking heritage. (在出版了这本书之后，谢尔曼在明尼阿波利斯开了自己的餐馆Owamni，并创建了北美传统土著食品系统(NATIFS)。这是一个专业的土著厨房和培训中心，旨在为土著厨师提供培训和发展技能的教育空间，并与他们的烹饪传统重新建立联系)”可知，Sherman创办北美传统土著食品系统的目的就是为了培训当地厨师，发展他们自己的技能并重拾他们的烹饪传统。故选C。
66．细节理解题。根据最后一段““For indigenous people who went through very strong assimilation (同化现象), we lost a lot of our food culture,” Sherman said.(“对于那些经历了强烈同化的土著人来说，我们失去了很多饮食文化，” Sherman说)”可知，Sherman认为本土烹饪文化的最大问题就是被同化得太严重，失去了很多祖先的饮食文化。故选A。

In southeastern Brazil, local fishers walk into dark waters in search of mullet (鲻鱼) On their own, it would be tricky to find the silvery fish. But the humans get help from an unusual partner: wild bottlenose dolphins.
With nets in hand, the fishers patiently wait as their cetacean (鲸类的) partners drive the fish toward the shore. A signal from the dolphins—usually a deep dive—indicates when they should cast their nets. This fishing partnership has passed down through the generations, lasting for more than a century.

A．They trick dolphins into fishing for them.
B．They harvest more fish with dolphins' help.
C．They have been training dolphins over a century.

Thailand’s “loneliest tree”, a tree growing on a rocky island only a few meters in diameter, is being seriously threatened by tourists desperate to get a selfie (自拍) with it.
The small patch of land located just off the country’s eastern coast in Trat Province has been called “Koh Khai Hua Roh” because it looks similar to the island featured in drawings of funny scenes involving a man and a woman trapped on an island in the popular Khai Hua Roh comic. The uninhabited island is quite a sight to behold, as it is home to a lonely tree that struggle to live despite being surrounded by salt water. Unfortunately, the tree’s popularity might just be the death of it.
On Tuesday, the Koh Mak Tambon Administrative Organization led a team of Thai reporters to Koh Khai Hua Roh in order to observe the country’s loneliest tree. They knew that photos of the lonely tree shared on social media had been attracting an increasing number of tourists to the island, but they had no idea how much damage that could produce.
According to The Nation, several small branches of the tree were found broken off, the tree’s exposed roots appeared to have been stepped heavily on to the point where the outer cover has peeled off (剥落), and the trunk appears to be tilting (倾斜) more than it did a few years back.

C．a controversial selfie D．a threatened tourist

It took Schultz a year to convince the Starbucks owners to hire him. When they finally made him director of marketing and operations in 1982, he had another idea. This one occurred in Italy, when Schultz noticed the coffee bars that existed on almost every block. He learned that they not only served excellent espressos (蒸馏咖啡), they also served as meeting places or public squares, and there were 200,000 of them in the country.
But when he came back to Seattle, the Starbucks owners resisted Schultz’s plans to serve coffee in the stores, saying the restaurant business was competitive, and it was costly to hire waiters. After all, economic benefits were their primary motivator. Frustrated, Schultz quit and started his own coffee-bar business in 1985, named “II Giornale”. It was successful, and two years later, the original Starbucks management sold its Starbucks retail unit to Schultz for $3.8 million.
As the company began to expand rapidly in the 1990s, Schultz always said that the main goal was “to serve a great cup of coffee”. Asked about the secret of his success, Schultz told us the principles: “Don’t be threatened by people smarter than you. Compromise anything but your core values.”
24．What caused Schultz to join the Starbucks?
A．The pleasant smell of its coffee bean. B．His strong desire to improve himself.
C．The owners’ impressive work attitude. D．His eagerness to sell more coffeemakers.
25．Which of the following can best describe Schultz’s personality?
A．Committed and generous. B．Sociable and helpful.
C．Motivated and considerate. D．Determined and creative.
26．Why did the Starbucks owners refuse to serve coffee in the stores?
A．Many coffee bars had existed in Seattle.
B．People preferred tasting coffee at home.
C．Workforce was insufficient in the market.
D．They tried to avoid high cost of labor force.
27．What does Schultz think contributes to his success?
A．Learning from smarter people. B．Sticking to his own core values.
C．Keeping his business a secret. D．Remembering a set of principles.
【答案】26．D 27．B
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了霍华德·舒尔茨带领星巴克咖啡公司走向成功的故事。

27．细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Asked about the secret of his success, Schultz told us the principles: “Don’t be threatened by people smarter than you. Compromise anything but your core values.”(当被问及他成功的秘诀时，舒尔茨告诉我们：“不要被比你聪明的人威胁。除了你的核心价值观，什么都可以妥协。”)”可知，舒尔茨认为，坚持自己的核心价值观是他成功的原因。故选B。

The task John set for himself was to remove harmful substances from some sludge (污泥). First, he constructed a series of clear fiberglass tanks connected to each other. Then he went around to local ponds and streams and brought back some plants and animals. He placed them in the tanks and waited. Little by little, these different kinds of life got used to one another and formed their own ecosystem. After a few weeks, John added the sludge.
He was amazed at the results. The plants and animals in the eco-machine took the sludge as food and began to eat it! Within weeks, it had all been digested, and all that was left was pure water.
Over the years John has taken on many big jobs. He developed a greenhouse-like facility that treated sewage (污水) from 1,600 homes in South Burlington. He also designed an eco-machine to clean canal water in Fuzhou, a city in southeast China.
“Ecological design” is the name John gives to what he does. “Life on Earth is kind of a box of spare parts for the inventor,” he says. “You put organisms in new relationships and observe what’s happening. Then you let these new systems develop their own ways to self-repair.”
5. Why did John put the sludge into the tanks?
A. To feed the animals. B. To build an ecosystem.

On March 7, 1907, the English statistician Francis Galton published a paper which illustrated what has come to be known as the “wisdom of crowds” effect. The experiment of estimation he conducted showed that in some cases, the average of a large number of independent estimates could be quite accurate.
This effect capitalizes on the fact that when people make errors, those errors aren’t always the same. Some people will tend to overestimate, and some to underestimate. When enough of these errors are averaged together, they cancel each other out, resulting in a more accurate estimate. If people are similar and tend to make the same errors, then their errors won’t cancel each other out. In more technical terms, the wisdom of crowds requires that people’s estimates be independent. If for whatever reasons, people’s errors become correlated or dependent, the accuracy of the estimate will go down.
But a new study led by Joaquin Navajas offered an interesting twist (转折) on this classic phenomenon. The key finding of the study was that when crowds were further divided into smaller groups that were allowed to have a discussion, the averages from these groups were more accurate than those from an equal number of independent individuals. For instance, the average obtained from the estimates of four discussion groups of five was significantly more accurate than the average obtained from 20 independent individuals.
13. Navajas’ study found that the average accuracy could increase even if ________.
A. the crowds were relatively small B. there were occasional underestimates
C. individuals did not communicate D. estimates were not fully independent
【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段的“In more technical terms, the wisdom of crowds requires that people’s estimates be independent.(从更专业的角度来说，群众的智慧要求人们的估计是独立的。)”和第三段的“The key finding of the study was that when crowds were further divided into ......than the average obtained from 20 independent individuals.(这项研究的关键发现是，当人群被进一步划分为允许进行讨论的小组时，这些小组的平均值比同等数量的独立个体的平均值更准确。例如，从四个五人讨论组的估计中获得的平均值明显比从20个独立个体获得的平均值更准确。)”可知，人们在没有独立的情况下，分成更小群体，平均值是更准确的，说明即使在估计数字并非完全独立的情况下，准确率提高也是可以做到的。故选D。
