In 2022, Asia Grand relocated from Odeon Towers to its current location in Fairmont Singapore. The well
established restaurant continues to dish up authentic Cantonese cuisine (风味). The current menu features an
extensive range of traditional Cantonese dishes that reflect their Hong Kong origins. Here are some recommended
signature dishes to try, perfect for any cheerful festive gatherings with friends and family.
Baked Crab with White Pepper: This beautiful dish features fresh Sri Lankan crab fried with fragrant garlic,
and ginger in rich butter. The crab is enhanced with the warmth and aroma of Sarawak white pepper, and slow
cooked for about 20 minutes, allowing the flavours to meld beautifully. The result is juicy meat suggestive of spice
and sweetness.
Claypot (陶罐) Rice with Preserved Meat: This traditional Hong Kong-style claypot rice brims with a rich
variety of preserved meat. Fragrant jasmine rice is slow cooked in a claypot to develop an irresistible, slightly
crispy layer at the bottom. The combination of preserved Hong Kong-style sausage, Chinese liver sausage, tender
pork belly, and preserved duck thigh infuses the rice with deep flavours. The creation is further enhanced with
seasonal vegetables and the chef’s specially prepared sauce. Each bite offers the comforting, authentic taste of
classic Hong Kong cuisine.
Double Boiled Whole Winter Melon Soup with Seafood: A nourishing delicacy, Double Boiled Whole
Winter Melon Soup with Seafood is prepared and served in a halved winter melon. The melon is filled with a rich,
flavourful thick soup and slow steamed for several hours, allowing the melon’s subtle sweetness to infuse the soup.
Just before being served, fresh soup and great ingredients like straw mushrooms, and crab meat are added and
steamed to perfection. The result is a light, clear soup that’s both cooling and satisfying, with soft, melt-in-the-
mouth melon.

yellow create a landscape that looks as if it is on a different planet altogether.(其色彩鲜艳、呈彩虹色的岩层是数
百万年来经风化和水蚀作用形成的。层层的红色、橙色和黄色构成了一幅看起来仿佛完全来自另一个星球
的景观)”可知,张掖丹霞国家地质公园的特点是其色彩斑斓的岩石。数百万年来经风化和水蚀形成了鲜艳
的、彩虹色的岩层,红、橙、黄等色彩层次构成了仿佛来自另一个星球的景观。所以其特色是彩色的岩
石。故选B。
2.细节理解题。根据 Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula部分中“These natural sinkholes, created by the collapse of
their limestone bases, open up into charming underground caves and shining pools.(这些由石灰岩基座坍塌而形

灰岩基座的坍塌形成的,这些天坑形成了迷人的地下洞穴和波光粼粼的水池,即石灰岩基座的坍塌造就了
尤卡坦半岛的自然奇观。故选D。
3.推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“There are always some places that seem to go well beyond our
earthly expectations. These incredible locations are similar to those in science fictions, catching our imagination
and transporting us to otherworldly grounds.(总有一些地方似乎远远超出了我们对尘世的预期。这些令人惊叹
的地方就如同科幻小说中描绘的场景一样,激发着我们的想象力,将我们带到超凡脱俗的境地)”可知,文
章主要介绍了四个地球上宛如科幻世界的自然景观,包括它们的形成原因和特点等内容。“National
Geographic(《国家地理》)” 杂志主要涉及自然地理、科学探索等方面的内容,与本文介绍自然景观的主题
相符,所以我们可能在《国家地理》杂志上读到这篇文章。故选C。

Check out these exciting sports around the world, where watching is just as exciting as participating. Flora-
Bama Mullet Toss
Each year in late April, excited beach-goers travel to the Flora-Bama Lounge in Pensacola, USA for one
reason: to see a dead mullet get thrown across the state line between Florida and Alabama. The mullet is a plentiful
fish along the Gulf Coast. It’s often eaten fried. But at this event, this fish doesn’t fry. It flies!
Stone Skimming
On the last weekend in each September, people from around the world head to a tiny Scottish island, each
hoping to win a world champion title. However, getting the title is not easy, as competitors must follow a set of
strict rules: Each participant only has three attempts each round. They won’t be qualified for the next round unless
the skimmed stone bounces on the water surface at least twice.
Tau’a
Tapati Rapa Nui is a competition between tribes (部落) on Easter Island, Chile, where each tribe chooses a
candidate for queen of the festival. Throughout the festivity, different events that earn points to choose the winner
will take place. One of the most well-known ones is Tau’a, a marathon that begins with Vaka Ama (a traditional
boating race) and ends with Natación con Pora (swimming). Between the two races is Aka Venga, which requires
the competitors to carry bunches of bananas that weigh almost 40 kilograms, while they are running.
Kiotoshi
Kiotoshi is held every six years in Suwa, Japan. The ancient tradition goes back centuries. Men and women
cut down selected trees, ride them down a mountain rapidly, and pull them through the town to eventually repair
Suwa Shrine, a complex of four religious buildings. And yes, it is about as dangerous as it seems, but people love it.
1.Where is the fish-throwing event held?
A.In the US.B.In the UK.C.In Chile D.In Japan.
2.How many times can the competitors’ skim their stones each round at most?

Train trips deliver a little slice of effortless adventure, transporting travelers through changing landscapes with
diverse people. Here are four favorite rail journeys:
Cairo to Luxor, Egypt
Route: Cairo to Luxor
Journey time: 10 hoursThis railway line is a fine way to get to know the ancient civilizations. Most visitors choose to travel on an
overnight train from Cairo, dozing off at night. Rise early for river views before arriving at Luxor’s ornate station.
Ella to Kandy Line, Sri Lanka
Route: Kandy to Ella
Journey time: 7 hours
There can be no better way to get from A to B in Sri Lanka’s central highlands than on this train. This train is a
lifeline for locals journeying from Kandy into the hills, as well as a beloved day out for travellers. It passes through
tea plantations, farming fields, and rural temples.
Tohoku Shinkansen, Japan
Route: Tokyo to Shin Aomori
Journey time: 3 hours
Japan was the birthplace of high-speed rail beginning with the first ‘bullet train’ in 1960s. The longest and
fastest is the Tohoku Shinkansen. Travelling at 200mph is that if you blink you risk missing the views —
nonetheless, keep your eyes peeled for glimpses of Komine Castle and the leafy streets of the city.
Bernina Express, Switzerland
Route: Chur to Tirano
Journey time: 4 hours
Covering 76 miles, this ride on the Bernina Express may be short but it is packed with dramatic scenery —
passing through tunnels, over bridges, and across the Bernina Pass. The journey is a great trip, particularly stunning
in winter, with snow-covered landscapes.
1.What is the main reason for tourists to choose Ella to Kandy Line, Sri Lanka?
