[对应学生用书P499] Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2024·泉州模拟)Scientists say the plant enset，an Ethiopian staple (主食)，could be a new superfood and a lifesaver in the face of climate change. “This is a crop that can play a really important role in addressing food security and sustainable development，”said a university professor in Awasa，Ethiopia. Enset，or “false banana”， is a close relative of the banana but is consumed only in one part of Ethiopia. The banana­like fruit of the plant is inedible (不宜食用的)，but the stems and roots can be processed to make porridge and bread. However，Ethiopia is isolated (隔离) by dry lowlands，which are unsuitable for enset to grow. And the procedures for enset raising and preparing require special knowledge. Therefore, despite its wild relatives distributing across Africa, enset is only used as a crop in Ethiopia and has never been widely adopted elsewhere. Using agricultural surveys and modeling work, scientists found the crop could potentially feed more than 100 million people and boost food security in Ethiopia and other African countries. Study researcher Dr. James Borrell, of the Royal Botanic Gardens, said planting enset as an alternative crop for tough times could help support food security. “It's got some really unusual characteristics that make it absolutely unique as a crop，” he said. Reaching ten meters tall, as few as 15 enset plants can feed a person for a year. Also，it has flexible harvest times, stores well, and is relatively drought and disease tolerant. All these features have earned it the name，“the tree against hunger”． There is growing interest in seeking new plants to feed the world. Nearly half of all the calories we eat come from three species—rice, wheat，and corns.“We need to diversify the plants we use globally as a staple because all our eggs are in a very small basket at the moment，” said Dr. Borrell. [语篇解读]　 本文是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了一种应对气候变化的特殊植物——恩斯特，又称埃塞俄比亚蕉，它可以被制作成食物。 1．What can we know about enset? A．It is widely consumed in Ethiopia. B．Its stems and roots can serve as a staple. C．It is mainly grown in dry lowlands. D．It distributes throughout the world. 解析　B　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“the stems and roots can be processed to make porridge and bread”可知，这种植物的茎和根可以用来制作粥和面包，即可作为主食。故选B。 2．What affects the wide adoption of enset? A．Lack of related knowledge. B．Poor quality of farmland. C．Low productivity. D．Strict storage condition. 解析　A　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“And the procedures for enset raising and preparing require special knowledge. Therefore...enset is only used as a crop in Ethiopia and has never been widely adopted elsewhere.”可知，影响恩斯特不能被广泛采用的原因是缺少相关的专业知识。故选A。 3．Which aspect of enset is talked about in paragraph 5? A．Its advantages. B．Its edibility. C．Its variety. D．Its distribution. 解析　A　主旨大意题。根据题干可定位至文章第五段，第五段主要介绍该植物有利于保障食品安全、有灵活的收割期、易于储存、耐旱、抗病等优点，故第五段主要介绍恩斯特的优点。B项意为“它的可食性”；C项意为“它的多样性”；D项意为“它的分布”。故选A。 4．What does Dr.Borrell mean in the last paragraph? A．People are fed up with existing staples. B．A world of biodiversity is needed. C．Crop varieties should be increased. D．Food security has been addressed. 解析　C　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“We need to diversify the plants we use globally as a staple”可知，博雷尔博士认为我们需要把作为主食的植物多样化，即增加农作物种类。故选C。 B (2024·武汉调研)Have you ever suddenly developed an appetite from a passing glance at a freeway billboard featuring a brightly colored cheeseburger，or decided to step into a candy or ice cream store displaying a window full of lively shades and hues(色调)of sweet treats？If so，you are in good company.Unless we are medically restricted or strictly dieting，we are not likely to resist inviting fare simply because we recognize the lack of nutritional value. Devina Wadhera and Elizabeth D．Capaldi­Phillips in A Review of Visual Cues Associated with Food on Food Acceptance and Consumption recognize the impact of sensory cues(信号)on food consumption and enjoyment，and the potential they have to promote healthy eating behavior. They cite previous research in providing some interesting examples of the visual impact of different color schemes (方案)on taste and food enjoyment. They note that pink food on a white plate was considered sweeter and more flavorful than the same food on a black plate.Apparently，we consume food with more of our senses than we realize. So when we're faced with so many appealing food choices and given the rainbow of colors around us，is there any way to control our appetite？Thankfully，some research says yes. Oliver Genschow demonstrated that when it comes to eating less，colors impact consumption.They specifically researched the effect of the color red.They found that people ate fewer pretzels when using a red plate，as opposed to white or blue，and drank less from a red cup than a blue cup.They suggested that the color red reduces food and drink intake by functioning as a stop signal. But when it comes to healthy eating，instead of putting on a pair of sunglasses to block the inviting hues of food cues，consider the value of discipline.Healthy eating involves intentional choices，not mindless responses to sensory cues.And before you invest in much red tableware to slim down，remember that what goes onto the plates is much more important. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了颜色对人的胃口有影响，同时在文章最后一段作者就健康饮食给出了建议。 5．What may be a major reason for us to refuse eye­catching food? A．The shortage of nutrition. B．The rich color of fine foods. C．The doctor's instructions. D．Advertisements everywhere. 解析　C　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Unless we are...the lack of nutritional value”可知，人们之所以可以拒绝诱人的食物，很大的原因在于有医嘱或进食限制，故选C。 6．What might be dealt with in A Review of Visual Cues Associated with Food on Food Acceptance and Consumption? A．Benefits of different color schemes. B．Interesting examples of food service. C．The potential to promote food consumption. D．Effects of sensory cues on eating behavior. 解析　D　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“A Review of Visual Cues Associated with Food on Food Acceptance and Consumption recognize...promote healthy eating behavior”可知，A Review of Visual Cues Associated with Food on Food Acceptance and Consumption可能讨论感官信号对饮食行为有什么影响，故选D。 7．What does the author suggest people do in the last paragraph? A．Follow the sensory response. B．Make food choices sensibly. C．Wear sunglasses to block colors. D．Avoid colorful food intentionally. 解析　B　细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Healthy eating involves intentional choices，not mindless responses to sensory cues...remember that what goes onto the plates is much more important”可以看出，作者建议人们明智地做出食物选择，故选B。 8．What is the best title for the text? A．How Can People Control Their Appetite? B．How Are People Tricked by Color Schemes? C．How Do Colors Impact Food's Appeal and Appetite? D．How Do Bright Colors Make Food More Appealing? 解析　C　主旨大意题。文章第一段引入话题，讲述了人们可能会被颜色艳丽的食物激起食欲；第二段援引研究发现证实色彩会对人的饮食行为产生影响；第三段将话题过渡到一些研究表明我们是可以控制食欲的；第四段以红色为例具体阐释颜色对进食会产生什么影响；最后一段作者就人们的饮食行为给出了建议。C项“颜色如何影响食物的吸引力和食欲”最适合作本文的标题。故选C。 Ⅱ.完形填空 (2023·石家庄质检)I started cooking when I was thirteen.Both of my parents worked，so I was usually __1__ after school.One day，my parents forgot to __2__ dinner before they went to work.As we were short of money，eating out was beyond __3__．So I decided to be the __4__ of the day.
