【文章內容簡介】 ina, it’s a whole other story! Here, ordering is a fun game of trial and error, and the adventure begins before the food is even served! Many restaurants in central Beijing advertise “English language menus”, but the translations can just add to the confusion. Although acpanying pictures can be a helpful relief, the translations often make the whole experience even more amusing. During my first few weeks in China I tried some delicious dishes with strange names. As an experiment, my friends and I would order things like “students addicted to chicken gristle (軟骨 )” and “red burned lion head”. It was always fun to see what landed on our table. Eventually we learned that “lion head” was actually pork, and “students” are “addicted” to diced (切 碎的 ) chicken with green pepper. Recently, I came across a busy restaurant down a narrow side street in a Beijing hutong. It was lunchtime and the small room was packed with people sitting on small stools (凳子 ) eating noodles. I was hungry and cold, and the steaming bowls looked irresistible! I sat myself down and called out for a “caidan!” In response, the waitress pointed to a wall at the back of the restaurant. The wall was full of Chinese characters describing numerous dishes. There was only one sentence in English: “crossing over the bridge noodles”. I had never heard of the dish and had no idea what it would taste like. I took a gamble and ordered one bowl of “crossing over the bridge noodles”. A few minutes later the waitress carried over a heavy bowl full of broth (肉湯 ) and I quickly dug in. It was the best bowl of noodles I had ever tasted! I have been back again and again and each time I point at the one English sentence – “crossing over the bridge noodles”. I always enter a restaurant in China feeling excited and a little nervous. Who knows what the next ordering adventure will reveal? 48. How does the writer find the Englishlanguage menus in many of Beijing’s restaurants? A. Confusing but amusing. B. Easy to understand. C. Boring and annoying. D. Accurate and helpful. 49. The underlined word “gamble” in the last paragraph probably means ______. A. taste B. look C. step D. risk 50. The passage mainly deals with ______. A. the author’s favorite Chinese dishes B. the fun the author had ordering food in China’s restaurant C. a parison between Western food and Chinese food D. the correct way to translate the names of Chinese dishes into English 51. The passage is developed mainly in the form of _____________. A. examples and statements B. parison and conclusion C. causes and effects D. time and description D A new effort is being launched to better educate parents about the earliest signs of autism (孤獨癥 ). Doctors at Maryland’s Kennedy Krieger Institute, one of the country’s leading autism centers, say they can now identify symptoms in children at a younger age than before. Children with autism withdraw into their own private worlds. Most children are not diagnosed until they are 3 to 5 years old, but the signs can appear as early as 6 months. “Most people use the rule of thumb that if a child is showing developmental delays before the age of 3, they’ll catch up, but children with autism usually can’t,” said researcher Rebecca Landa. Researchers at the institute are showing in a video just what symptoms to look for, even in an infant. In about 30 percent of autism cases, researchers are now documenting what they call “regressive（倒退的） autism”. One boy documented by the Kennedy Krieger Institute was engaged and smiling at his mother at 6 months. When he reached one year, he appeared a little shy, but again, there was no reason for concern. But at the age of 2, he was totally attached to his toys and the signs in him have bee more obvious. “Although causes of autism remain unknown, now you can really see autism in its full form,” Landa said. Chloe was diagnosed with autism at 2, when she could not interact with the children around her, and she hated to be touched. But after four months of intensive treatment, her behavior improved significantly. “She is talking now,” Landa said. “She looks to the teacher and shares enjoyment. She looks to others to know what she should be doing.” Chloe will still require many more years of treatment, but these early gains do last. 52. Which of the following is NOT a symptom of a child suffering from autism? A. Not speaking to people around him. B. Not making eye contact with others. C. Acting aggressively to people around them. D. Fixing all his attention on the objects. 53. What do the underlined words “these early gains” in the last paragraph probably refer to? A. Many years of treatment. B. Researches carried out by Landa. C. The early recognition of signs of autism. D. The cases Landa provided. 54. From the passage, we can learn that __________. A. early signs of autism are often unnoticed or ignored B. more and more children are suffering from autism C. autism can be pletely cured if early symptoms are noticed D. children usually develop autism at the age of three 55. What would be the best title for this passage? A. Early Symptoms of Autism in Children
