19、 States, died Wednesday. She was 100. Chiang was the owner, chef and mastermind behind the game-changing San Francisco restaurant, the Mandarin. She is widely credited with bringing real Chinese food to America and was a celebrity chef before celebrity chefs were popularized. Chiang, who was born ne

20、ar Shanghai, came from an upper-class Chinese family. Although She wasnt shy about acknowledging her good fortune, she faced other difficulties. Convincing the dining public that Chinese food didnt have to be Thursdays cheap take-out option, Chiang had her work cut out for her. “Most Americans; incl

21、uding American-born Chinese, they didnt know about Chinese food,” Chiang explained in an interview with CNN Travel in 2018. Never having been to China, they needed to be educated on the difference. The year was 1961, and Chiang insisted on snowing diners the delicate side of Chinese food. The restau

22、rants wine list, filled with Chinese cultural elements, was part of her strategy. Chiang said she wanted to upgrade the Chinese dining experience. To do this, she also needed to be fully aware of aesthetics (美学). The Mandarin, which would later occupy a much larger space in Ghirardelli Square, wasnt

23、 like other Chinese restaurants. “Is this a Chinese restaurant?” Chiang said people asked her all the, time. The Mandarin did not serve chop suey or chow mein, two standard dishes on every Chinese restaurant in the US at the time. But this is exactly what Chiang wanted to avoid. In fact, her early b

24、rushes with Chinese food in America had left her unimpressed and determined to show San Francisco what Chinese food was really like. Not only was Chiang a woman trying to run a restaurant in a male-controlled industry, but She was also attempting to educate diners. Changing peoples minds was complic

25、ated. And, Chiang, who had been retired some 20 years when she died, at one point remarked that not a single existing restaurant could compare to the Mandarin. 24.

C Despite the common appearing of tablet computers and e-readers, we simply cannot break our addiction to paper. An estimated four billion tree

29、s are cut down every year to make paper or cardboard, an energy-consuming process with a vast environmental footprint. Now chemist Yadong Yin of the University of California, Riverside, and his colleagues have developed “rewritable” paper that could help control that impact. Printed rewritable paper

30、 is made using Prussian blue nanoparticles (纳米粒子). The researchers coated conventional paper with nanoparticles of two chemicals: Prussian blue that gives blueprints their characteristic color, and titanium dioxide (二氧化钛), a substance used in sunscreens. UV light makes the titanium dioxide nanoparti

31、cles donate electrons (电子) to their Prussian blue neighbors, shifting its color from midnight blue to milky white. By shining that UV light through a transparent (透明的) screen marked with black text, the researchers “printed” blue text on a white background. The text lasts about five days and then na

32、turally fades away: “Every morning I could just push a button, and a printer would give me a fresh newspaper to read over breakfast,” Yin says. The paper can also be reset by heating and reused more than 80 times, a significant improvement over previous types of rewritable paper. “The key advantages

33、 are high reusability and stability, easy handling and low cost,” says Sean X. Zhang, a materials scientist at Jilin University in China, who was not involved in the study but has also worked on developing rewritable paper. By comparison, technologies such as electronic inkused for Amazons Kindle Pa

34、perwhiteinvolve moving charged black-and-white particles around, which requires electronics. Since reporting their invention in Nano Letters early this year, the scientists have used a digital projector to replace their transparent screen. They are now working on increasing the number of times the p

35、aper can be reused. Zhang says a key difficulty will be persuading companies to develop the unconventional UV control needed for widespread use. Even though commercialization could be a few years away, Yin says, “Weve had a lot of discussions with industry investors.” 28. What does the underlined “t

36、hat impact” in the first paragraph refer to? A. Human beings addiction to paper. B. Common appearance of e-readers. C. Green and sustainable environment. D. A vast environmental footprint. 29.

38、 C. The history of paper D. Reduce, reuse, recycle D The vaccine (疫苗) news continues to seem very encouraging. Britain started its mass vaccination effort and the U.S. isnt far behind. But there is still one dark cloud hanging over the vaccines that many people dont yet understand. The vaccines will

39、 be much less effective at preventing death and illness in 2021 if they are introduced into a population where the coronavirus is still severeas is now the case in the U.S. A vaccine is like a fire hose (消防龙头). A vaccine thats 95 percent effective, as Modernas and Pfizers versions appear to be, is a

40、 powerful fire hose. But the size of a fire is still a bigger determinant of how much destruction occurs. At the current level of infection in the U.S. (about 200,000 confirmed new infections per day), a vaccine that is 95 percent effectivedistributed at the expected pacewould still leave a terrible

41、 toll (伤亡人数) in the six months after it was introduced. Almost 10 million or so “Americans would catch the virus, and more than 160,000 would die. This is far worse than the toll in a different situation where the vaccine was only 50 percent effective but the U.S. had reduced the infection rate to i

42、ts level in early September (about 35,000 new daily cases). In that case, the death toll in the next six months would be kept to about 60,000. Its worth pausing for a moment on this comparison. If the U.S. had maintained its infection rate from September and Moderna and Pfizer had announced this fal

43、l that their vaccines were only 50 percent effective, a lot of people would have panicked. But the reality we have is actually worse. How could this be? No vaccine can get rid of a pandemic immediately, just as .no fire hose can put out a forest fire. While the vaccine is being distributed, the viru

44、s continues to do damage. There is one positive way to look at this: Measures that reduce the viruss spreadlike mask-wearing, social distancing and rapid-result testingcan still have great consequences. They can save more than 100,000 lives in coming months. 32. How does the author mainly present hi

45、s argument? A. By giving definitions. B. By categorizing facts. C. By drawing comparisons. D. By appealing to emotions. 33. Which does the author think is a better way to save lives? A. Improving the effectiveness of the vaccines. B. Producing a greater variety of vaccines. C. Looking at the situati

46、on in a positive way. D. Wearing masks and practicing social distancing. 34. What does paragraph 6 tell us? A. The vaccines are less effective than expected. B. The US have controlled the spread of the coronavirus. C. The death toll in the next six months will be about 60,000. D. Fewer people will d

47、ie if the infection rate is lower. 35. What can we infer from the text? A. The vaccine is the hope of wiping out the pandemic. B. The public are optimistic about the effects of the vaccine, C. The public are concerned about the high infection rate. D. The distribution of vaccine will end the pandemi

The role of a manager as a leader is an important part of these interactions. Leadership involves influencing colleagues so that they fol

49、low a given direction or goal. 36 The first is the “people function”. Here leadership helps to hold a group together and maintain the motivation of the group. 37 In this role the leader will ensure the group has sufficient funds to carry out its tasks. So a leader should be seen to have influence both outside the group and within the group. Next comes the “task function”. Here leadership involves deciding what the tasks of the group of employees are and then making sure that they are carried out successfully. The third is the “strategic function.” 38 A group of workers that knows
