　　British Cuisine: the Best of Old and New

　　British cuisine(烹饪) has come of age in recent years as chefs(厨师) combine the best of old

　　and new.

　　Why does British food have a reputation for being so bad? Because it is bad! Those are not the

　　most encouraging words to hear just before eating lunch at one of Hong Kong’s smartest British

　　restaurants, Alfie’s by KEE, but head chef Neil Tomes has more to say.

　　“The past 15 years or so have been a noticeable period of improvement for food in England,”

　　the English chef says, citing the trend in British cuisine for better ingredients, preparation and

　　cooking methods, and more appealing presentation. Chef such as Delia Smith, Nigel Slater, Jamie

　　Oliver and Gordon Ramsay made the public realise that cooking – and eating – didn’t have to be a

　　boring thing. And now, most of the British public is familiar even with the extremes of Heston

　　Blumenthal’s molecular gastronomy, a form of cooking that employs scientific methods to create

　　the perfect dish.

　　“It’s no longer the case that the common man in England is embarrassed to show he knows

　　about food,” Tomes says.

　　There was plenty of room for improvement. The problems with the nation’s cuisine can be

　　traced back to the Second World War. Before the war, much of Britain’s food was imported and

　　when German U-boats began attacking ships bringing food to the country, Britain went on

　　rations(配给).

　　“As rationing came to an end in the 1950s, technology picked up and was used to

　　They weren’t looking for cured meats, organic produce or beautiful presentation; they were

　　looking for whatever they could get their hands on, and this prioritisation of quantity over quality

　　prevailed for decades, meaning a generation was brought up with food that couldn’t compete with

　　neighbouring France, Italy, Belgium or Spain.

　　Before star chefs such as Oliver began making cooking fashionable, it was hard to find a

　　restaurant in London that was open after 9pm. But in recent years the capital’s culinary(烹饪的)

　　scene has developed to the point that it is now confident of its ability to please the tastes of any

　　international visitor.

　　With the opening of Alfie’s in April, and others such as The Pawn, two years ago, modern

　　British food has made its way to Hong Kong. “With British food, I think that Hong Kong restaurant

　　are keeping up,” says David Tamlyn, the Welsh executive chef at The Pawn in Wan Chai.

　　“Hong Kong diners are extremely responsive to new ideas or presentations, which is good

　　news for new dishes.”

　　Chefs agree that diners in Hong Kong are embracing the modern British trend. Some

　　restaurants are modifying the recipes(菜谱)of British dishes to breathe new life into the classics,

　　while other are using better quality ingredients but remaining true to British traditional and tastes.

　　Tamlyn is in the second camp. “We select our food very particulary. We use US beef, New

　　Zealand lamb and for our custards(牛奶蛋糊) we use Bird’s Custard Powder,” Tamlyn says. “Some

　　restaurants go for custard made fresh with eggs, sugar and cream, but British custard is different,

　　and we stay true to that.”

　　Matthew Hill, senior manager at the two-year-old SoHo restaurant Yorkshire Pudding, also

　　uses better ingredients as a means of improving dishes. “There are a lot of existing perceptions

　　about British food and so we can’t alter these too much. We’re a traditional British restaurant so

　　there are some staples(主菜) that will remain essentially unchanged.”

　　These traditional dishes include fish and chips, steak and kidney pie and large pieces of roasted

　　meats. At Alfie’s, the newest of the British restaurants in town and perhaps the most gentlemen’s

　　club-like in design, Neil Tomes explains his passion for provenance(原产地). “Britain has started to

　　become really proud of the food it’s producing. It has excellent organic farms, beautifully crafted

　　cheeses, high-quality meats.”

　　However, the British don’t have a history of exporting their foodstuffs, which makes it difficult

　　for restaurants in Hong Kong to source authentic ingredients.

　　“We can get a lot of our ingredients once a week from the UK,” Tamlyn explains. “But there is

　　also pressure to buy local and save on food miles, which means we take our vegetables from the

　　local markets, and there are a lot that work well with British staples.”

　　The Phoenix, in Mid-Levels, offers the widest interpretation of “British cuisine”, while still

　　trying to maintain its soul. The gastro-pub has existed in various locations in Hong Kong since 2002.

　　Singaporean head chef Tommy Teh Kum Chai offers daily specials on a blackboard, rather than

　　sticking to a menu. This enables him to reinterpret British cuisine depending on what is available in

　　the local markets.

　　“We use a lot of ingredients that people wouldn’t perhaps associate as British, but are presented

　　in a British way. Bell peppers stuffed with couscous, alongside ratatouille, is a very popular dish.”

　　Although the ingredients may not strike diners as being traditional, they can be found in dishes

　　across Britain.

　　Even the traditional chefs are aware of the need to adapt to local tastes and customs, while

　　mass-produce food,” Tomes says. “And by then people were just happy to have a decent quantity of

　　food in their kitchens.”

　　maintaining the Brutishness of their cuisine.

　　At Yorkshire Pudding, Hill says that his staff asks diners whether they would like to share their

　　meals. Small dishes, shared meals and “mixing it up” is not something commonly done in Britain,

　　but Yorkshire Pudding will bring full dished to the table and offer individual plates for each dinner.

　　“That way, people still get the presentation of the dishes as they were designed, but can carve them

　　up however they like,” Hill says.

　　Some British traditions are too sacred(神圣的) to mess with, however, Tomes says. “I’d never

　　change a full English breakfast.”

　　said yesterday.

　　While elderly people

　　according to research.

　　to sleep for fewer hours than they did when they were younger,

　　Sean Drummond, a psychiatrist (心理医生) at the University of California, San Diego, said

　　that older people are more likely to suffer from broken sleep, while younger people are better at

　　sleeping

　　straight through the night.

　　More sleep in old age, however, is

　　with better health, and most older people would feel

　　better and more

　　if they slept for longer periods, he said.

　　“The ability to sleep in one chunk (整块时间) overnight goes down as we age but the amount

　　of sleep we need to

　　well does not change,” Dr Drummond told the American Association for the Advancement

　　of Science conference in San Diego.

　　“It's

　　a myth that older people need less sleep. The more healthy an older adult is, the

　　more they sleep like they did when they were 54 . Our data suggests that older adults would

　　benefit from to get as much sleep as they did in their 30s. That’s from person to

　　Section B

　　Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or

　　unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and

　　D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on

　　Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.

　　Passage One

　　Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.

　　Several recent studies have found that being randomly (随机地) assigned to a roommate of

　　another race can lead to increased tolerance but also to a greater likelihood (可能性) of conflict.

　　Recent reports found that lodging with a student of a different race may decrease prejudice and

　　compel students to engage in more ethnically diverse friendships.

　　An Ohio State University study also found that black students living with a white roommate

　　saw higher academic success throughout their college careers. Researchers believe this may be

　　caued by social pressure.

　　In a New York Times article, Sam Roakye—the only black student on his freshman year

　　floor—said that “if you’re surrounded by whites, you have something to prove.”

　　Researchers also observed problems resulting from pairing interracial students in residences.

　　According to two recent studies, randomly assigned roommates of different race are more

　　likely to experience conflicts so strained that one roommate will move out.

　　An Indiana University study found that interracial roommates were three times as likely as two

　　white roommates to no longer live together by the end of the semester.

　　Grace Kao, a professor at Penn said she was not surprised by the findings. “This may be the

　　first time that some of these students have interacted, and lived, with someone of a different race,”

　　she said.

　　At Penn, student are not asked to indicate race when applying for housing.

　　“One of the great things about freshman housing is that, with some exceptions, the process

　　throws you together randomly,” said Undergraduate Assembly chairman Alec Webley. “This is the

　　definition of integration.”

　　“I’ve experienced roommate conflicts between interracial students that have both broken down

　　stereotypes and reinforced stereotypes,” said one Penn resident advisor (RA). The RA of two years

　　added that while some conficts “provided more multicultureal acceptance and melding (融合),”

　　there were also “jarring cultural confrontations.”

　　The RA said that these conflicts have also occurred among roommates of the same race.

　　Kao said she cautions against forming any generalizations based on any one of the studies,

　　noting that more background characteristics of the students need to be studies and explained.

　　57. What can we learn from some recent studies?

　　A) Conflicts between studies of different races are unavoidable.

　　B) Students of different races are prejudiced against each other.

　　C) Interracial lodging does more harm than good.

　　D) Interracial lodging may have diverse outcomes.

　　58. What does Sam Boakye’s remark mean?

　　A) White students tend to look down upon their black peers.

　　B) Black students can compete with their white peers academically.

　　C) Black students feel somewhat embarrassed among white peers during the freshman year.

　　D) Being surrounded by white peers motivates a black student to work harder to succeed.

　　59. What does the Indians Univerisity study show?

　　A) Interracial roommates are more likely to fall out.

　　B) Few white students like sharing a room with a black peer.

　　C) Roommates of different races just don’t get along.

　　D) Assigning students’ lodging randomly is not a good policy.

　　60. What does Alec Webley consider to be the “definition of integration”?

　　A) Students of different races are required to share room.

　　B) Interracial lodging is arranged by the school for freshmen.

　　C) Lodging is assigned to students of different races without exception.

　　D) The school randomly assigns roommates without regard to race.

　　61. What does Grace Kao say about interracial lodging?

　　A) It is unscientific to make generalizations about it without further study.

　　B) Schools should be cautious when making decisions about student lodging.

　　C) Students’ racial background should be considered before lodging is assigned.

　　D) Experienced resident advisors should be assigned to handle the problems.

　　Passage Two

　　Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.

　　Global warming is causing more than 300,000 deaths and about $125 billion in economic

　　losses each year, according to a report by the Global Humanitarian Forum, an organization led by

　　Kofi Annan, the former United Nations secretary general.

　　The report, to be released Friday, analyzed data and existing studies of health, disaster,

　　population and economic trends. It found that human-influenced climate change was raising the

　　global death rates from illnesses including malnutrition (营养不良 ) and heat-related health

　　problems.

　　But even before its release, the report drew criticism from some experts on climate and risk,

　　who questioned its methods and conclusions.

　　Along with the deaths, the report said that the lives of 325 million people, primarily in poor

　　countries, were being seriously affected by climate change. It projected that the number would

　　double by 2030.

　　Roger Pielke Jr., a political scientist at the University of Colorado, Boulder, who studies

　　disaster trends, said the Forum’s report was “ a methodological embarrassment” because there was

　　no way to distinguish deaths or economic losses related to human driven global warming amid the

　　much larger losses resulting from the growth in populations and economic development in

　　vulnerable (易受伤害的) regions. Dr. Pielke said that “climate change is an important problem

　　requiring our utmost attention.” But the report, he said, “will harm the cause for action on both

　　climate change and disasters because it is so deeply flawed (有瑕疵的)”

　　However, Soren Anderasen, a social scientist at Dalberg Global Development Partners who

　　supervised the writing of the report, defended it, saying that it was clear that the numbers were

　　rough estimates. He said the report was aimed at world leaders, who will meet in Copenhagen in

　　December to negotiate a new international climate treaty.

　　In a press release describing the report, Mr. Annan stressed the need for the negotiations to

　　focus on increasing the flow of money from rich to poor regions to help reduce their vulnerability to

　　climate hazards, while still curbing the emissions of the heat-trapping gases. More than 90% of the

　　human and economic losses from climate change are occurring in poor countries, according to the

　　report.

　　注意：此部分试题请在答题卡 2上作答。

　　62. What is the finding of the Global Humanitarian Forum?

　　A) Global temperatures affect the rate of economic development.

　　B) Rates of death from illness have risen due to global warming.

　　C) Malnutrition has caused serious health problems in poor countries.

　　D) Economic trends have to do with population and natural disasters.

　　63. What do we learn about the Forum’s report from the passage?

　　A) It was challenged by some climate and risk experts.

　　B) It aroused a lot of interest in the scientific circles.

　　C) It was warmly received by environmentalists.

　　D) It caused a big stir in developing countries.

　　64. What does Dr. Pielke say about the Forum’s report?

　　A) Its statistics look embarrassing.

　　B) It is invalid in terms of methodology.

　　C) It deserves our closest attention.

　　D) Its conclusion is purposely exaggerated.

　　65. What is Soren Andreasen’s view of the report?

　　A) Its conclusions are based on carefully collected data.

　　B) It is vulnerable to criticism if the statistics are closely examined.

　　C) It will give rise to heated discussions at the Copenhagen conference.

　　D) Its rough estimates are meant to draw the attention of world leaders.

　　66. What does Kofi Annan say should be the focus of the Copenhagen conference?

　　A) How rich and poor regions can share responsibility in curbing global warming.

　　B) How human and economic losses from climate change can be reduced.

　　C) How emissions of heat-trapping gases can be reduced on a global scale.

　　D) How rich countries can better help poor regions reduce climate hazards.

　　M: Shawn's been trying for months to find a job. But I wonder how he could get a job when he looks like that.

　　W: Oh, that poor guy! He really should shave himself every other day at least and put on something clean.

　　Q: What do we learn about Shawn?

　　12.

　　W: I wish Jane would call when she know she'll be late. This is not the first time we've had to wait for her.

　　M: I agree. But she does have to drive through very heavy traffic to get here.

　　Q: What does the man imply?

　　13.

　　M: Congratulations! I heard your baseball team is going to the Middle Atlantic Championship.

　　W: Yeah, we're all working real hard right now!

　　Q: What is the woman's team doing?

　　14.

　　W: John's been looking after his mother in the hospital. She was injured in a car accident two weeks ago and still in critical condition.

　　W：Oh, that's terrible. And you know his father passed away last year.

　　Q: What do we learn about John?

　　15.

　　M: What a boring speaker! I can hardly stay awake.

　　W: Well, I don't know. In fact, I think it's been a long time since I've heard anyone is good.

　　Q: What do we learn from the conversation?

　　16.

　　Q: What are the speakers talking about?

　　Long Conversation One

　　M: Hello, Professor Johnson.

　　W: Hello, Tony, so what shall we work on today?

　　M: Well, the problem is that this writing assignment isn’t coming out right. What I thought I was writing on was to talk about what a particular sport means to me when I participate in.

　　W: What sport did you choose?

　　M: I decided to write about cross-country skiing.

　　W: What are you going to say about skiing?

　　M: That’s the problem. I thought I would write about how peaceful it is to be out in the country.

　　W: So why is that a problem?

　　M: I’d like to start describing how quite it is to be out in the woods. I keep mentioning how much effort it takes to keep going. Cross-country skiing isn’t as simple as some people think. It takes a lot of energy, but that’s not heart of my paper, so I guess I should leave it out. But now I don’t know how to explain that feeling of peacefulness without explaining how hard you have to work for it. It all fits together. It’s not like just sitting down somewhere and watching the clouds roll by. That’s different.

　　W: Then you have to include that in your point. The peacefulness of cross-country skiing is the kind you earn by effort. Why leave that out? Part of the point you knew beforehand, but part you discovered as you wrote. That’s common, right?

　　M: Yeah, I guess so.

　　19. What is the topic of the man’s writing assignment?

　　Passage One

　　There are many commonly held beliefs about eye glasses and eyesight that are not proven facts. For instance, some people believe that wearing glasses too soon weakens the eyes. But there is no evidence to show that the structure of eyes is changed by wearing glasses at a young age. Wearing the wrong glasses, however, can prove harmful. Studies show that for adults there is no danger, but children can develop loss of vision if they have glasses inappropriate for their eyes. We have all heard some of the common myths about how eyesight gets bad. Most people believe that reading in dim light causes poor eyesight, but that is untrue. Too little light makes the eyes work harder, so they do get tired and strained. Eyestrain also results from reading a lot, reading in bed, and watching too much television. However, although eyestrain may cause some pain or headaches, it does not permanently damage eyesight. Another myth about eyes is that they can be replaced, or transferred from one person to another. There are close to one million nerve fibers that connect the eyeball to the brain, as of yet it is impossible to attach them all in a new person. Only certain parts of the eye can be replaced. But if we keep clearing up the myths and learning more about the eyes, some day a full transplant may be possible.

　　26. What does the speaker want to tell us about eyesight?

　　27. What do studies about wearing the wrong glasses show?

　　28. What do we learn about eye transplanting from the talk?

　　Passage Two

　　When people care for an elderly relative, they often do not use available community services such as adult daycare centers. If the caregivers are adult children, they are more likely to use such services, especially because they often have jobs and other responsibilities. In contrast, a spouse usually the wife, is much less likely to use support services or to put the dependent person in a nursing home. Social workers discover that the wife normally tries to take care of her husband herself for as long as she can in order not to use up their life savings. Researchers have found that caring for the elderly can be a very positive experience. The elderly appreciated the care and attention they received. They were affectionate and cooperative. However, even when care giving is satisfying, it is hard work. Social workers and experts on aging offer caregivers and potential caregivers help when arranging for the care of an elderly relative. One consideration is to ask parents what they want before they become sick or dependent. Perhaps they prefer going into a nursing home and can select one in advance. On the other hand, they may want to live with their adult children. Caregivers must also learn to state their needs and opinions clearly and ask for help from others especially brothers and sisters. Brothers and sisters are often willing to help, but they may not know what to do.

　　29. Why are adult children more likely to use community services to help care for elderly parents?

　　30. Why are most wives unwilling to put their dependent husbands into nursing homes?

　　31. According to the passage, what must caregivers learn to do?

　　Passage Three

　　Since a union representative visited our company to inform us about our rights and protections. My coworkers have been worrying about health conditions and complaining about safety hazards in the workplace. Several of the employees in the computer department, for example, claim to be developing vision problems from having to stare at a video display terminal for about 7 hours a day. The supervisor of the laboratory is beginning to get headaches and dizzy spells because she says it’s dangerous to breathe some of the chemical smoke there. An X-rays technician is refusing to do her job until the firm agrees to replace its out-dated equipment. She insists that it’s exposing workers to unnecessarily high doses of radiation. She thinks that she may have to contact the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and asked that government agency to inspect the department. I’ve heard that at a factory in the area two pregnant women who were working with paint requested a transfer to a safer department, because they wanted to prevent damage to their unborn babies. The supervisor of personnel refused the request. In another firm the workers were constantly complaining about the malfunctioning heating system, but the owners was too busy or too mean to do anything about it. Finally, they all met an agree to wear ski-clothing to work the next day. The owner was too embarrassed to talk to his employees. But he had the heating system replaced right away.

　　32. What does the talk focus on?

　　33. What did the X-ray technician ask her company to do?

　　34. What does the speaker say about the two pregnant women working with paint?

　　35. Why did the workers in the firm wear ski-clothing to work?

　　Compound Dictation

　　Contrary to the old warning that time waits for no one, time slows down when you are on the move. It also slows down more as you move faster, which means astronauts(宇航员) someday may (36) survive so long in space that they would return to an Earth of the (37) distant future. If you could move at the speed of light, your time would stand still. If you could move faster than light, your time would move (38) backward. Although no form of matter yet (39) discovered moves as fast as or faster than light, (40) scientific experiments have already confirmed that accelerated (41) motion causes a traveler’s time to be stretched. Albert Einstein (42) predicted this in 1905, when he (43) introduced the concept of relative time as part of his Special Theory of Relativity. A search is now under way to confirm the suspected existence of particles of matter (44) that move at a speed greater than light, and therefore, might serve as our passports to the past. An obsession(沉迷) with time—saving, gaining, wasting, losing, and mastering it—(45)seems to have been a part of humanity for as long as human has existed. Humanity also has been obsessed with trying to capture the meaning of time. Einstein (46) used a definition of time for experimental purposes, as that which is measured by a clock. Thus, time and time’s relativity are measurable by any hourglass, alarm clock, or an atomic clock that can measure a billionth of a second.
