1 . Who is Li Ziqi? For 7 million watchers on YouTube and 20 million micro bloggers on Sina Weibo, that’s an easy question to answer. She holds an account on each of the two platforms, and uploads her videos about the detailed cooking processes of various kinds of traditional Chinese food.

Li is a craftsperson in a rural area of Southwest China’s Sichuan province. Different from others, she is fond of showing the whole process from the field to the table. For example, in her video about spicy tofu, she starts with harvesting the soy beans, grinding them into powder and making tofu, and then cooks it. Her works also include building a homemade oven to bake bread.

Like the rest of us, Li was probably not born with skills to create the things we see in her videos, but she uses everything and everybody around her as a teacher. Li never attended college, but she shows us how useful self-learning can be in an age of plenty of learning resources.

Li lets the world see one of the most important aspects of the Chinese people, how they live their daily lives. She lets the world know that Chinese people love good food and are good at making art out of even simple raw materials, which have caught the hearts of her global audience.

Moreover, Li’s charming videos show the simple joys of country living, which she can improve by using her head, heart and hands. While others become the product of their environment, she turns her surroundings into her product. Others see problems and feel frustrated, while Li goes and fixes them. We, therefore, can choose to be inspired by her, to seek the artistic solution and enjoy the creativity, joy and relaxation that “doing” life could offer.

2 . If you like ordering pizza from your local pizzeria, you’ll love making it at home. No pizza will ever taste as fresh as it does when you eat it straight from your own oven.    1    Here are some tips.

Preheat the oven to 400℉ (204℃). The oven should be piping hot before you start cooking the pizza.

Prepare the crust (酥皮).     2    Place it on a round baking sheet or any other shape, depending on what you have on hand. Use a brush to spread a thin coating of olive oil over the top of the crust.

Spread pizza sauce (果酱) on the crust.     3    If you love a lot of sauce, go ahead and slather (涂抹) it on. If you prefer your pizza on the dry side, spoon a little in the middle and spread it around in a thin layer. If you want to make a white pizza, add a little extra olive oil and skip the pizza sauce.

Add seasonings (佐料). Layer your favorite seasonings over the sauce. Add as many or few seasonings as you want. Put the heavier seasonings, like onions, chicken or sausage, on the bottom layer, and add lighter seasonings, like spinach leaves or peppers, on the top layer.     4    

Bake the pizza.     5     Then, have it bake for about 20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Remove it from the oven. At last, allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing.

A．Place the pizza in the oven.

B．But where can we get fresh pizza like this?

C．Remove the unbaked crust from the packaging.

D．Fry the paste and tomatoes together over low heat.

E．However, how do we make hot, fresh pizza in a fast way?

F．How much pizza sauce you add is purely a matter of personal preference.

G．Continue until your pizza is loaded with the amount of seasonings you like.

One day, I was cooking in the kitchen when the telephone rings. I went to answer it immediately. She was my close friend, Lisa. When we were talking on phone, the fire alarm sounded. I ran back to the kitchen only to find the room full of smoke and the beef bad burnt. I quickly turned off the gas, opening all the windows, but then went out of the house. In my surprise, two fire engine were outside my house. I was quite worry. I told the firemen that it was my careless cooking that it caused the heavy smoke.

4 . Porridge doesn't have a very tasty name, does it? It doesn't have a very tasty reputation, either. I'm here to try and convince you that porridge isn’t boring and tasteless, that it can be a delicious, convenient and very healthy way to start the day.

If you’ve never eaten it (although you probably have), porridge is a type of food served for breakfast. It is usually a type of grain, like rice or oat (燕麦), mixed with either milk or water, and often heated up. It is often thicker than liquid, but not solid and is very easy to digest, so it's a better option for people who are ill, and it provides long-lasting energy for the day.

Porridge preparation--the amount of ingredients (配料) and cooking time—depends on what you choose to use as your porridge base. If I'm cooking for myself, I put a very big handful of ‘rolled’ oats in a saucepan, add a little bit of water and about 200ml of milk, and let the mixture boil. I stir the porridge constantly, and it takes about five to ten minutes to cook.

Once it's cooked, the fun part is adding the flavors. Porridge alone doesn't have a very strong flavour. Although some people think this makes porridge boring, I think this is what makes porridge exciting! It is like a blank piece of paper—you can add almost anything you want to the porridge base. Greens, nuts and dried fruits are very healthy options to add and can give you energy for the day. But if you don't like these, or you're allergic, then honey and chocolate are also very tasty options. (Just don’t add to much!)

One of the best things about porridge? You can make it almost anywhere in the world. Either oats or rice or both are “staple foods (主食)” for many people across the world. You can usually buy big bags of either, then add local ingredients to make your porridge interesting—whatever is cheap and convenient to find, wherever you are. I am currently in Mexico, and I love to heat my oats up with milk, then mix in peanuts and pumpkin seeds and cacao nibs, and I put a layer of sugar over the top to make my porridge sweeter.

Porridge? Hopefully it sounds a lot tastier now!

7 . 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

The two features of life in England that possibly give visitors the worst impressions are the English weather and English cooking.     1     former is a natural phenomenon and nobody can do anything about it. But cooking is something     2     can be learned. English food has often been described as     3     (taste). Recently, the situation has changed somewhat because so many people have been spending their holidays abroad and     4     (learn) to appreciate unfamiliar dishes. One of the traditional complaints about English food is the way that vegetables are cooked. The only way that many British housewives know to cook green vegetables is     5     (boil) them for too long in too much salt water and then to throw the water away so that all the vitamins are lost. To make matters     6     (bad), they do not strain the vegetables sufficiently so that     7     appear as a wet mass on the plate.

However, it would be unfair to say that all English food is bad. Indeed not only the raw ingredients are usually     8     very high quality, especially the meat and fish,     9     many traditional British dishes are as good as anything you can get anywhere. A visitor,     10     is invited to an English home might well enjoy steak and kidney pudding or pie, all sorts of smoked fish .

8 . Astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) recently tested an oven they used to bake five chocolate chip cookies. We now know the results of that experiment: the cookies took a lot longer to bake in space than on Earth. The cookies that came out best required two hours of baking time inside the International Space Station. The baking time for cookies on Earth is generally only about 20 minutes.

The cookies returned to Earth earlier this month aboard a SpaceX-built spacecraft that splashed down in the Pacific Ocean. The cookies are the first food baked in space from raw food materials. They remain frozen in a laboratory in Houston, Texas. The American company Nanoracks designed and built the cookie oven. Hilton DoubleTree hotels supplied the cookie dough.

The makers of the oven did expect some difference in the baking time in space, but they were surprised that that difference was so large. "There's still a lot to look into to figure out really what's driving that difference, but definitely a cool result," said Mary Murphy. She is with the company Nanoracks, which is based in Texas. Murphy said the baking results will continue to be examined in order to better understand why space baking took so much longer. In addition, researchers will study the effectiveness of the baking tray, which was designed to work in microgravity conditions.

The five chocolate chip cookies were frozen when they were sent to space. Each had to be baked separately in the oven. Italian astronaut Luca Parmitano took charge of the baking experiment in December. He reported that the first cookie stayed in the oven for 25 minutes at 149 degrees Celsius. When it came out of the oven, it was seriously under-baked. For the next two cookies, Parmitano more than doubled the baking time. Those cookies came out better, but were still under-baked. The fourth cookie stayed in the oven for two hours, after which Parmitano was able to report success. "I can't tell you whether it's cooked all the way or not, but it certainly doesn't look like cookie dough anymore," he reported to controllers back on Earth. For the fifth cookie, Parmitano turned the oven temperature up to 163 degrees Celsius and baked it for 130 minutes. This time, he reported the best baking results.

No one has tasted the space-traveling cookies just yet. Organizers of the experiment say additional testing will need be carried out to determine whether they are safe to eat.

1. How long do it takes to bake cookies in ISS?

A．About 20 minutes.	B．25 minutes.
C．About an hour.	D．2 hours.

2. What is the oven maker's attitude towards the large difference?

A．Critical.	B．Amazed.
C．Indifferent	D．Worried

3. What can we infer from the fourth paragraph?

A．The baking experiments ended up in a success.

B．Each of the five cookies was cooked in different time.

C．The more time, the better baking results.

D．The five cookies were frozen after baking.

4. What can be concluded in the passage?

A．The space-traveling cookies are safe for astronauts to eat.

B．Cookies on Earth are the same as the space-traveling cookies.

C．More tests will be taken for the space-traveling cookies.

D．The five cookies ended up in the Pacific Ocean.

9 . Now the reason why cooking has become so popular, especially among men, is that the kitchen is the new workshop. Deprived (剥夺) of the requirement to practice his hands-on skills in wood or metal, the modern man turns to the chopping-board worktop instead — previously this was more likely to be the woman’s area. It involves tools, process and planning, and satisfies a natural desire to produce something.

I like fooling about in the kitchen, to be honest. Last night, tired of too many visits to over-priced restaurants, I tried to do something a bit clever with meats and vegetables. It was all right, I suppose. I mean, my guest and I both ate it, but in a slightly awkward sort of way. It was all a bit brown. More to the point it took hours and hours that could have been spent on something more meaningful, such as mending the cooker. There are also three dead motorcycles in the garage, and they’re not going to repair themselves. I therefore recommend the “Strength Through Simplicity” cooking style-the new stage of culinary (烹饪的) progress shall be the garage.

I’m hoping to introduce the idea of garage cooking in a new TV series and, as usual, would welcome any suggestions; anything suitable for consumption by a man who has one reasonably clean hand and one coated with machine oil he'd rather not put near his face. This is not, in fact, without precedent (先例) I’ve been in a factory in India where the workers baked bread on the tops of hot machines, and they somehow tasted better for being a by-product of industrial effort.

Tonight I’ve had an oil change with side of chain adjustment accompanied by beans and sausages.

3. What does the author most probably do?

A．A media worker.	B．A restaurant critic.
