Chinese moon-cake is the representative food (代表食物) of the Mid-Autumn Festival. It is a kind of round cookie with different fillings and artistic patterns on the surface (表面).
In Chinese culture, roundness stands for completeness and togetherness. The moon-cake is not just a food. It’s an important cultural tradition deep in Chinese people’s hearts, expressing a spiritual feeling. At Mid-Autumn Festival, people eat moon-cakes together with family, and present moon-cakes to relatives or friends to express love and best wishes.
As early as the Shang and Zhou dynasties in what today are Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces in east China, there was a kind of “Taishi cake” thick at the center and thin at the edge, which was the origin (起源) of the moon-cake. In the Han Dynasty, sesame (芝麻) and walnuts (坚果) were introduced into China, and round cookies filled with these foods appeared. In the Tang Dynasty, the name “moon-cake” was used for the first time. In the Northern Song Dynasty, moon-cakes got popular in the royal palace. It was not until the Ming Dynasty that the custom of eating these cookies during the Mid-Autumn Festival became popular among the public.
Moon-cakes are different according to different regional styles and tastes. Cantonese-style moon-cakes are known for their sweetness. Suzhou-style moon-cakes have had a history of more than a thousand years. They have soft layers of dough (面团) and lots of sugar and lard (猪油), making them taste both sweet and salty. Beijing-style moon-cakes have the characteristics of delicate sweetness and fine decoration. Chaoshan-style moon-cakes are usually larger than other moon-cakes with common fillings of red beans and potatoes.
Most moon-cakes have high amounts of sugar and oil, which are not healthy. To decrease the harmfulness that high fat and calories bring to our body, some foods are recommended to eat together with moon-cakes, including tea, fruit like grapes, and wine. They help take away fat in our body. Also, do not eat too much at one time.
14. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. The characteristics of moon-cakes. B. The meaning behind moon-cakes.
C. The origin (起源) of the Mid-Autumn Festival. D. The customs of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
15. When did moon-cakes become popular among the public as a festival food
A. In the Han Dynasty. B. In the Tang Dynasty.
C. In the Northern Song Dynasty. D. In the Ming Dynasty.
16. What is special about the Chaoshan-style moon-cakes
A. They have less sugar. B. They are generally larger in size.
C. They have a much longer history. D. They feature fine decorative patterns.
17. What is the purpose of the last paragraph
A. To stress the importance of a healthy diet.
B. To call on people to value traditional culture.
C. To provide suggestions on eating moon-cakes.
D. To recommend some new tastes of moon-cakes.

When it comes to reading, people have different preferences. Some people will choose paper books because they’re easy to borrow and share. Others will go for e-readers, perhaps on a phone, because they’re convenient. But which is the more environment-friendly choice
Digital reading (数字阅读) is on the rise, now making up about 15% of the total US book market. However, traditional print publishing is still by far the most popular type—and it comes with a high carbon footprint (碳足迹). According to a 2023 report from Words Rated, print book publishing is the third biggest source of greenhouse gas emissions (排放), and 32 million trees are cut down each year in the US to make paper for books. Then there’s the problem of printing and transport, not to mention the many unsold books that are destroyed.
Digital reading seems to be better than print because it is paperless, so it saves trees and transport. Moreover, technology companies that make e-readers, such as Amazon, offer recycling programs for old devices (设备). But digital devices also come with a large carbon footprint, mainly at the production stage.
So back to the earlier question: which way of reading is more environmentally friendly “If you buy an e-reader and you read lots of books on it, then it’s the lowest carbon thing to do. But if you buy it, read a couple of books, and find that you prefer paper books, then it’s the worst of all worlds.” said Mike Berners-Lee, a professor at Lancaster Environment Centre in the United Kingdom. Yet, Berners-Lee also said that reading is still, relatively speaking, an environmental-friendly activity.
18. Which aspect (方面) of digital devices has the largest influence on the environment
A. Its transportation. B. Its waste management.
C. Its production process. D. Its recycling programs.
19. According to the text, it is better to choose digital reading if you________.
A. read a lot B. hardly take notes
C. enjoy reading at night D. only read books when necessary
20. What is the most suitable title for the text
A. Why Should We Choose Digital Reading
B. How Does Print Publishing Affect the Environment
C. Will Traditional Print Reading Disappear in the Future
D. Which is Better for the Environment, Paper Books or E-readers
D
