Four Must-Eat Chicago Sandwiches
On a hit list of Chicago’s must-eat dishes, you’ll find various meals on bread. Let’s take a look at four of them.
Italian beef sandwich
Known around the city simply as a “beef”, this giant sandwich piles thinly sliced roast beef and green peppers on brown French bread, which has roots in the Italian American community in 1938. Dozens of Italian beef joints now exist in Chicago area, including Johnnie’s Beef in Elmwood Park and Plant-Based Italian Beefless Sandwich. The latter is popular among people who favor vegetable products.
Italian sub
Italian subs exist all over the country with different names. Chicago’s version originates from Vincenzo Graziano’s first sandwich store in 1922, who came to Chicago in 1905 without any money. At J.P. Graziano, now managed by Graziano’s great-grandson Jim Graziano, the Italian sub features hot pork sausage, plus tomato, red wine vinegar, which adds a deeper, richer flavor.
Reuben
Made with roasted beef, Swiss cheese and salted vegetables, the Reuben was invented in the Blackstone Hotel in Omaha, Nebraska in 1925 and won the National Sandwich Idea Contest in 1956. At Manny’s, you can taste the classic Reuben served with the award-winning roasted beef, which is the restaurant’s signature.
Chicago-style hot dog
Dating back to 1929, a Chicago Red Hot is made up of nine ingredients (原料). They include an all-beef frank, a steamed bread roll and a salad bar of toppings. As one of the city’s most popular spots for a Chicago dog, the family-owned roadside stand, Superdawg Drive-In, has served hot dogs since 1948. If you order a Chicago dog, the really critical detail is that you can’t see tomato source, which would ruin the perfect balance of the food.
28．Among the four must-eat Chicago sandwiches, which one has the longest history
A．Italian beef sandwich. B．Italian sub.
C．Reuben. D．Chicago-style hot dog.
29．In which restaurant can you taste an award-winning sandwich
A．Johnnie’s Beef in Elmwood Park. B．J.P. Graziano.
C．Manny’s. D．Superdawg Drive-In.
30．Which section of a magazine is this passage probably taken from
A．Transport. B．Health. C．Travel. D．Science.
As the capital of China's Shaanxi Province, Xi'an's long history was properly summed up by our English-speaking guide: "If Xi'an is the grandmother of cities, Beijing is a youth and Shanghai is just a baby in the womb. "
However, it was not until 1974, following the chance discovery of the Army of Terracotta Warriors by well-digging farmers, that Xi'an was once again pushed onto the international map. Three decades later, the local government is pouring funds into the tourism sector. Ancient monuments and museums are being restored, and various copies of Buddhist and Tang heritage are being constructed to help Chinese tourists rediscover their national heritage.
One of those ancient monuments is the Big Wild Goose Pagoda-Xi'an's most sacred (神圣的) monument-which was built in 652 by the monk Xuanzang ,who travelled across India for 18 years and returned with a precious collection of Buddhist sacred texts. In 1966,the Red Guards burnt the pagoda's scriptures, silk wall hangings and other relics in a bonfire that raged all night. But that destruction has largely been forgotten as tourists flock to the newly restored pagoda. The only original remainders-the empty shell of the seven-storey pagoda-light up at night, standing out in the city's skyline.
Xi'an is also displaying the glories of the ancient Tang Dynasty, with a 165-acre Tang Paradise Theme Park that is visited by flocks of tourist groups. Although every bit of this Tang heritage is recreated, it is artistically pleasing, landscaped with ponds and lakes, classical gardens, bridges, palaces and pavilions. Explore the vast area on a golf cart, hopping on and off to see shortened operas from the Tang Dynasty days, laser shows on the lake, highly structured man-made waterfalls, as well as murals and statues of historical figures ,philosophers and poets.
A 36km drive northeast takes you to Xi'an's most famous attraction, the Army of Terracotta Warriors. They were made to order in 221BC by the first emperor of China, Qin Shi Huangdi, who used the forced labour of 700,000 subjects to create a mausoleum(陵庙) guarded by an entire army.
31．From the passage we can learn that a large sum of money of the local government in Xi'an is being ploughed into .
A．restoring the monuments
B．restoring the Pagoda
C．tourism industry
D．exploring the history
32．How many historical sites in Xi'an have been referred to in the passage
A．Three. B．Four. C．One. D．Six.
33．What can we learn from the fourth paragraph about the Tang Paradise Theme Park
A．Visitors are pleased with the survivals from the Tang Dynasty.
B．The natural waterfalls in it are very attractive.
C．It is totally recreated but is artistically pleasant.
D．Visitors can appreciate the full Tang Dynasty operas.
34．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．Make a visit to ancient sites at once.
B．China's ancient capital rises again.
C．Travel to the Army of Terracotta Warriors.
D．Take a view in the modern city.

I think that you are never going to be as happy as you were when you were little. There are no worries when you are little. The things that worried you most are not important things. My most memorable moments happened when I was a child. I can not remember a lot of them because I was very little but I remember the most exciting thing for me at that time.
Some of my friends that I have now have been my best friends since childhood. It is really nice to still have them in my life. Most of them I know are from school but some of them are because of our mothers. And it is really strange to think that you have spent all your life with them. We often went out for sightseeing during holidays, which really made us kids happy and helped establish sincere friendship.
One trip that I remember a lot was when I went with one of my best friend Kate to a cruise (乘船游览) to the Caribbean islands in a summer holiday when I was 10 years old. Going there was a perfect thing that I’d always dreamed of. On the way to the cruise, we were very excited. We both were going with our families. We were together all of the time. Sometimes she came to sleep in my room and sometimes I went to hers. When we got down in the islands we also spent all of the time together because our mothers are also very good friends. On the morning of the last day of the trip the cruise stopped near a mall to let tourists go into the mall to do some shopping. Both Kate’s and my parents were busy in choosing clothes and we showed no interest in clothes, so we felt a little bored, having nothing to do.

Kate and I decided to go to a toy counter to buy some Barbie dolls.

58．My Winter Vacation
Last winter vacation, I had a great time in my grandmother’s hometown, where I happened to visit an unknown but impressive old town.
Over the past years, this old town has not changed its name, even the way of native’s life, just like a living museum for an ancient civilization. I took a walk along the cobbled path, taking photos and just absorbed in this peaceful atmosphere.
After my coming back, I cannot help thinking about that everyone needs a shelter from noise and pressure like this old town for me, so I hope that economic development will be in harmony with the nature.
59．参考范文：
Kate and I decided to go to a toy counter to buy some Barbie dolls. As we all know, Barbie dolls are almost all girls’ favorite. There were varieties of Barbie dolls in the toy counter. We were so attracted that we really hated to leave there. After buying our favorite Barbie dolls, however, we got lost. We were very worried because we had thought the cruise was going to go without us. We went to the entrance, waiting for our mothers to come.
To our disappointment, our mothers didn’t appear. Feeling too frightened, we cried loudly. Then a lady that we had already seen in the cruise came to us. She asked us what had happened. Realizing the situation, she helped us without any hesitation. With her help, we found our mothers finally. Although I met some trouble during the trip, I think that was the most unforgettable trip of my life. And I learn that as a child, whenever we go out with parents, we shouldn’t leave out of parents’ eyesight.
